of mr and mrs john kemp stouffville rri jas thomas markham an attack on recent in creases given to department heads at the york regional level ended in a draw april 11 at a markham council meeting but not before harsh words were exchanged a resolution was put forward by councillor bob adams seconded by councillor bob muldrew expressing concern over the pay raises council in considering the motion was asked to request regional council to recon sider the increases well gentlemen said mayor tony roman its really none of our business his statement caused a major out burst its 27 percent our business argued councillor adams referring to markhams share of the regional budget councillor muldrew suggested enlarging the scope of the original resolution and circulating it to all municipalities in the region councillor jim jongeneel one of markhams region al representatives stated his opinion that the increases were too high and pointed out that only 10 of the 16 regional council lack of factual airport information irritates two town council members stouffville the proposed airport came in for some hard blows at a council meeting april 11 although not all landed on target a resolution moved by councillor june button and seconded by councillor tom lonergan noted the fact that the present site was apparently not one of the four selected for a detailed study suggesting that the billions of dollars to be spent on a the project might be better expended elsewhere the resolution asked council to advise prime minister trudeau and premier william davis that council requests a halt on the entire project until further studies have been made im not saying the airport shouldnt be there necessarily said mrs button but they shouldnt go ahead until detailed studies have been conducted mayor ken laush- way termed the claim about the four detailed studies only hear say it might prove beneficial to the whole community to have the airport nearby he said he repeated his allegation about hearsay a few minutes later but added im just pointing that out im not commenting on this report youre not asked notice markhams present identity in relationship to trees is no different than that of many municipalities and is without distinguishing characteristics but could be unique the variation in our topography and soil characteristics will permit support of a variety of trees the regularity of the grid of our main streets and the irregularity of many of the secondary streets would permit at least one arboreal distinguishing designation the council of the town of markham is seeking an imaginative plan for a pat tern for the planting of trees that may be recognized as visible distinctive evidence of its thoughtful conservation conscious people an honorarium of 10000 will be awarded for the most practical and distinctive tree pattern topographical maps are available in the town office for a nominal sum entries will be accepted at the town office until 430 pm friday june 23rd i97j

and attacked the lack of information made public by the senior governments one of their experts couldnt even find stouffville on a map he complained do you have anything new to say that we havent heard enquired the mayor he urged councillor lonergan to change the needle once in awhile councillor betty vannostrand suggested the resolution be tabled until the next planning board meeting may 2 she felt that the proposed may 1 meeting at the high school might give some extra in formation i dont think youll get much more in formation there observed mayor laushway councillor herb simpson seconded mrs vannostrands resolution to table the matter on the vote tabling was supported by councillors rat- cliff simpson and vannostrand opposed were councillors button lonergan and baker mayor laush way broke the tie voting to table mrs buttons resolution the vote went a little differently on a similar motion introduced a few minutes later by councillor ratcliff this resolution pic tures stouffville as being made vulnerable by the airport announcement particularly in respect of roads pollution noise and other matters it therefore asked written assurances from senior governments on

be slowed by the airport that high ways sewers and similar services to the site be extended to assist the development of stouffville and that land owners who suffer depreciation or other financial hardship because of the airport should be fairly compensated mayor laushway obviously a little more favorable towards this motion repeated his conviction that an airport will be built in pickering he urged council members to keep abreast of all developments in the project to protect this town as much as possible councillors gen erally agreed with the resolution councillor simpson said he would go along with this when the jumbos start flying over ballantrae you might wish you hadnt supported this measure warned the mayor councillor simpson shrugged im getting a little deaf anyway he replied

instruct our regional representatives to press the matter councillor adams agreed to change the resolution mayor roman however urged him to tear the resolution up and inslruct the representatives un officially he defended the in creases saying they amounted overall to only about 5 percent its not fair to our own department heads objected councillor adams mayor roman suggested that in that case perhaps markham should be conducting a review not york region theres no way ill vote for it the mayor continued when i go to regional council i act the way i see fit may i remind the mayor interjected councillor keith kennedy that he acts as he sees fit here too it was mayor romans request for a recorded vote that proved the last straw for councillor muldrew im concerned that the municipality is not gaining proper representation at the region he said how can we expect you to support us in regional council when were not there to watch you im disgusted with that attitude were elected to represent the town of markham snapped mayor roman were aware of the cost factor he con tinued and were aware of a hell of a lot of other things in the region if you dont think were doing our jobs you should tell us im shocked that you would ask for a recorded vote retorted mr muldrew councillor kennedy managed to steer the discussion into safer waters requesting mayor roman to explain how the in creases were decided after further com ment the vote saw only adams muldrew and bonner in favor the resolution was lost barely had the smoke cleared when councillor kennedy put forward a motion that council instruct its regional representatives to ask regional council to re assess the raises thats the resolution we just defeated exclaimed councillor adams its more polite than your motion observed another member the second resolution passed with almost no debate lanky to fly again markham a group of enthusiastic aviation buffs are tackling a major restoration project the object of their work is a lancaster bomber that saw service in britain with no 428 ghost squadron at middleton st george the air craft was built in malton in early 1945 and ferried to britain in time to see operational service before the wars end returing to canada in 1946 the craft was modified by a v roe ltd for maritime reconnaissance work and served with the maritime command until 1964 when it was sold the bomber was exhibited in niagara falls for a few years and then once more was put up for sale a newspaper ad caught the attention of ken shortt a markham heating and refrigeration con tractor being an aviation buff he travelled to niagara falls to take a look at it an american group was also keenly in terested in purchasing the plane ken was determined that the lancaster should not leave canada and this mixture of patriotism and aviation en thusiasm resulted in kens subsequent purchase of the bomber having already spent a considerable amount of money for the craft the next problem was to find a place to keep it arrangements were made to store it at oshawa the plane was dismantled and shipped by lake barge and a large float truck was used to move it to the airport reassembly was the next problem at this point joe corrigan entered the picture joe a former flight test mechanic at a v roe had worked on lancasters before and his expertise plus the help of a handful of other enthusiasts soon had the plane re assembled with that task completed the next step is to bring the aircraft into flying condition the rolls royce packard engines are in good shape with only about 100 hours of operating time on them before being mothballed many other parts have been damaged or removed by vandals and they must be restored this is no easy task as lancaster parts are difficult to find judy
