powr are asking council to take the dispute over the york sanitation dump and the possibility that it may be polluting the local water supply to ontario ombudsman arthur maloney we strongly concur with this idea powr summitview school a cbmpdcated islsiie the question of getting summitview school renovations underway has become a complicated one ai k york county board of education last week sent in to the ministry of education a list of building priorities for regional projects as v per the ministry guidelines accomodation for new housing was placed at the top of the list with summitview appearing number five- leading the renovations category after examining the list apparently the will approve funds for x number of projects 1 one hope for summitview may be that the ministry may be changing somewhat its stated priorities to emphasize fire safety over accomodating new housing another possibility is that when the funds finally are approved that money designated- for other projects could be diverted tosummitview through the whole process of drawing up a priority list by the board whitchurch stouffvule trustee harry bowes has been working on the problem with an untiring dedication he travelled over 4000 miles in an attempt to fairly assess the needs of all- schools in the region and as the best informed g trustee on the subject other trusteesoften had to take his word on what needs are most urgent v maintaining his- credibility with other board members while still representing the interests of whitchurch stouffvillehasnot been an easy task for mr bowes i we commend his efforts and now can -only- hope for the best with regard renovations at summitview school has checked with mr maloneys office and they havesaid they will investigate if they receive a request from the municipality in spite of the repeated denials of the environmental hearing board members we still are suspicious that the lengthy hearings on the dump were little more than whitewash there was a feeling throughout that the board was more receptive to the arguments of the dumps proponents and the ministry of the environment had decided in favor of the dump before the hearings even began whole issue has never been delved into in an impartial manner the antidump jr faction and the town were naturally enough extremely biased against the operation mr maloneys personal reputation integrity would add considerable weight to 1 any report from the ombudsmans office and we feel sure the community would be content j- to abide by whatever conclusions that office came to hopefully ills report would generate enough publicity that the ministry would think twice before ignoring it to date we havcseen very little that would give us any confidence in either the ministry or the hearing board ars ago this week our resident expert has been unable to identify this house the pencil sketch produced by sdss student joanne croft rr 2 markham was taken from a historical photograph of an early stouffvule home we have not managed to learn if the building isstill standing or for that matter where it stood any information in this regard would be greatly appreciated the sketch is a

balance on the narrow stairschanging our minds and determining it had tocome down this activity was somewhat hampered to say the least by the fact that half the work party was separated by the bulk of the stove and with limited communication it seemed that iriore often than riot when we were trying to ram it up they were trying with equal determination to get it back down or die in the attempt
