the tribune thursday september 28 1978 17 editors mail ratepayer appalled dear sir being a ratepayer in ward i uxbridge township and also being concerned about a proposed gravel pit in our backyard we were members of a delegation of ratepayers who at tended an emergency meeting of council on sept 25 1978 the issue discussed was a draft agreement between the township and john b regan we were appalled to see the complete disregard for ratepayers feelings shown by some members of council these men obviously feel they have complete control and do not need to be concerned with the wishes of the people who elected them to office what secret power does john b regan bold over these men that they feel they must rush headlong into yet another gravel pit all we and the members of council who support us are asking is that council hold up and man accused of beating stepmother york region the facts are so revolting as to almost make one ill com mented judge edward houston adding for a grown man to beat up on his stepmother the way the accused did mystifies the imagination his remarks followed evidence of assault by 49 year old hugh david mckinnon against his stepmother an 86 year old woman at whose house he lived mckinnon pleaded not guilty to the charge the accused ad mitted telling the elderly lady he hated her but denied the assault her injuries were so serious she had to be fed intravenously for a time following admittance to york county hospital at newmarket mckinnon admitted drinking at a tavern for about eight hours before the alleged attack but denied he was drunk he remembered drinking a cup of coffee after arriving home then going to the bathroom there he collapsed he said and was in great pain when he came around again i believe i was drugged he said judge houston rebuked the accused saying he didnt believe he couldnt recall the assault take a good look at what the gravel industry has presently done for the township and try to get some control over present operations one coun cillor justified the agreement and its rush as being a first it will be the first time council has any control over an aggregate operation why in heavens name would you rezone 400 more acres when you have no control over the present 3000 acres already zoned we have always believed in the democratic system of mckinnon it was government but after learned had a record of attending this council previous offenses that meeting we see that the included assault causing pfop ta bodily harm indecent on deaf ears our hope is assault on a female and that after the coming contributing to juvenile delinquency before passing sentence judge houston requested the man be placed in the ontario hospital at penetanguishine for a 60- day mental assessment election these same
