ABATEMENT — From Page 1 ing and new site plans. Citizen Dan Kahraman, who lived here previously, but has now returned for his retirement, wants the plan expedited. “I cannot enjoy my retirement property at all,” he said. The Rd. 11 resident says that the quality of his night sky has declined since he moved back. “In the time I’ve been here, the problem has mushroomed,” he said. Justine Taylor, Joe Sbrocchi and Glen Snoek of the OGVG came on as a delegation and spoke to the logistic issues surrounding light abatement. The 7th Annual Wheatley Tiny Tots Halloween Parade took place Friday October 30 at Two Creeks Conservation Area.

Tiny tots brave temps for treats WHEATLEY — Despite the cold temperatures and intermittent sprinkles, the 7th Annual Halloween Tiny Tots Parade in Wheatley went on as planned. This year’s event was held outdoors at the Two Creeks Conservation Area pavilion, where about 15 ‘treat stations’ were set up, all provided by local businesses. The kids paraded through the stations collecting treats at each stop.
There were several witches, a couple of firemen and numerous other inventive costumes. The Wheatley Legion Ladies Auxiliary partnered with about 30 local businesses to make the event a success and keep all of those little ones smiling. Organizer Jami-Lee Church estimated that about 60 children showed up to trick-or-treat.
“We are working hard on finding a solution to achieving 100 per cent abatement,” said Taylor. She also explained that, during the fall and winter months, ceiling curtains must be open to some extent to properly vent the greenhouses. After much discussion, council voted to accept Option 2, which will allow for public input over the next few weeks, hoping to get some resolution before the holidays.

Political trailblazer Margaret Birch was born in Leamington SCARBOROUGH — The death of Margaret Birch last Thursday made the news all over Canada, but particularly hit home in Leamington, as the once prominent Conservative MPP was born and raised here. Born Margaret Stewart on June 13, 1921, she settled in Scarborough in 1957 with her husband Guy Birch, where they raised two children. She became Chair of the Scarborough Board of Health in 1963 and was instrumental in the building of the Scarborough Centenary Hospital in 1967. She was named Scarborough’s Citizen of the Year in 1970, and that momentum carried her to victory in the 1971 Provincial Election, where she won the PC seat for the riding of Scarborough East. She
retained that seat through four elections, until 1981. In 1973, Margaret was appointed Minister without Portfolio under Ontario Premier Bill Davis and with that, became Ontario’s first-ever female cabinet minister. In 1974, she was appointed as the Provincial Secretary for Social Development. She retired from politics in 1985. Although her life took her to such lofty positions, she never forgot her roots in Leamington, often returning to visit family. She enjoyed life on Pelee Island, where she and her family owned a second home. As her 99th birthday approached, Margaret’s health began to fail in March of this year. She passed away October 29.
