editorials discoyes drinking no j a disco for stouffville sure why not we see nothing particularly wrong with this form of entertainment providing its properly managed and controlled right now discos are the in thing the dance craze has caught on in toronto in a big way and young people here think nothing of a 30mile drive to the city on a friday or saturday night so why not offer it here rather than there we have several opinions on the subject first we like the location the steer- burger is far removed from any residential area and has plenty of parking the music inside and the traffic outside should bother no one the premises is also well maintained theres no reason to think this will change however we feel the management will be catering to the wrong crowd couples in their late teens and twenties already frequenting discos in toronto wont stay in stouffville the big city has an extra attraction our town cant offer even though the en tertainment may be just as good fur thermore this age group isnt complaining why should they what stouffville cant provide toronto can the ones continually looking for something to do are a crosssection of 16 to 18 year olds yet these are the kids who will be excluded so nothings resolved with regard to liquor at this location we say no dancing and drinking are a bad mix our recommendation lower the age limitation to sixteen rather than nineteen serve soft drinks instead of hard and provide the kind of community atmosphere this town deserves stouffville isnt toronto not yet sports hall of fame here on saturday we had an opportunity to view for a first time markhams new hockey hall of fame its a fantastic gallery of hockey personalities dating back to the early 1900s the main push behind the project has been john lunau local historian there and longtime sports promoter several of the exhibits are copies of pictures and stories from past tribunes despite the fact the gallerys been open only a short time hundreds of people have viewed the display kerry gilmor the cen tres manager said we were impressed so impressed wed like to see a similar venture started in whitchurchstouffville perhaps at latcham hall we suggest however that the display not be restricted to hockey but rather take in all areas of athletics including lacrosse baseball speedskating lawn bowling track and field the list is extensive this community like the town of markham has an impressive sports history a history that unless visually recorded can soon be forgotten a century from now who will remember names like earl cook bob hassard betty acton keith acton bruce and lou lehman bob and nick bangay hal gibson harry barber eleanor crossen don haynes jim hill doug feasby george stark laurie buckland jim chilvers cliff dunkeld jack watson doug todd kevin acton stan miller lome and ken schell we feel the whitchurchstouffville recreation committee working in close co operation with town council should get something started in this regard it could then be expanded upon in years to come i snowmobile club thanks to interest displayed by the cc riders snowmobile club a similar organization may be established in whit churchstouffville this is good news not that snowmobilers pose the problem they once did here but the image so badly tarnished through past ex periences will be improved through responsible leadership operating a snowmobile within the built- up area of stouffville is a thing of the past owners realize this but where can they go through an organized club trails can be established that will benefit everyone in cluding the sport news item- disco dancehall is opposed by councillors doble and mnalleij v a sure nominee to sports hall of fame if the town of whltchurchstoaffville had a sports hall of fame eleanor crossen would be a certain nominee she has excelled at softball curling lawn- bowling swimming and yes even hockey this picture was taken back in 1965 thirteen years ago cpat waeelerj roaming around the bazaar bugs bite can be fatal by jim thomas auction sales and church bazaars what a great way to spend an afternoon i enjoy both but i seldom attend either mainly because most falcon saturdays and ive more to do those daysmhan stand back and watch folks spend their money 5 still ive made up my mind these are the two hobbies that will occupy my time on retirement antiques and food what an in triguing combination if things get tough ill sell one to buy the other in the antique line i plan to collect clocks and lamps that is if there are any clocks and lampseft to collect the way the professionals follow the auction circuit im beginning to wonder we laymen dont stand a chance still its fun mingling with the crowds rubbing shoulders with the pros trying to look rich when im not while theres a similarity between sales and bazaars they also differ for example at an auction the best is often left til last not so at a bazaar its first come first served and heaven help the hindermost also at an auction the sexes are mixed men women about fiftyfifty at bazaars however men are in the minority one in twenty maybe and that one serves no other purpose than to trundle the bundles to the car regardless i waded in with both feet saturday this particular bazaar was hosted by the senior citizens of thomson court apartments in markham i missed it last year so circled the calendar date early to make sure it wouldnt happen again i arrived at 150 ten minutes before the rush with the lineup at the elevator close to twenty persons deep i headed straight for the stairs this brought me out at the basement just as the stampede struck an avalanche of ladies hellbent for the bake table poured through the doors afraid of being trampled under foot i chivalrously stepped aside that was my first mistake i couldnt even see the table let alone the baking en it my second mistake was not wearing a hardhat shin and elbow pads and metaltoed doggers i took a terrible beating one woman even clipped me over the left ear with her cane unintentionally of course her apologies however didnt ease the pain the baked goods once i came within smelling distance was a spread unlike anything id ever seen as fast as one thing would go another would take its place the reserves seemed unending i purchased a beautiful 3tiered lemon cake the price was 2 50 and worth every cent i also bought a circular loaf of home made bread so fresh and moist i could have eaten it on the spot thats when i made my third mistake i placed the cake on an empty chair and a woman sat on it then i set the loaf on the floor and a lady stepped on it s still i was able to rescue both and escape with my methe cake and bread somewhat redesigned but still very eatable and me slightly battered and bruised but still in one piece fun sure it was an affair every man should experience at least once however if bitten the bazaar bug can be fatal the mortality rates extremely high but what a lovely way to go surrounded by women and tons of food council capers councillors dont mean what they say byedschroeter more and more people are availing themselves of the democratic process and appearing before local councils irate irked irritated squawking scolding and screaming whimpering whining and wailing they come with assorted and sundry com plaints grievances beefs and laments when they leave the chambers theyre absolutely and thoroughly confused ive seen it happen at least a dozen times the glassy eyes the little twitch at the corner of the mouth the way they shuffle out of the room beaten with words council has an entire arsenal of potent verbal weapons deftly employing barbs allusions metaphors and a deviously for mulated vocabulary they have no need to concoct secret plots or lie outright they baffle citizens into submission who could penetrate this veneer of venomous verbosity without adequate preparation of course councils dont do this in tentionally for some unknown reason people dont ask the councillors to explain them selves perhaps theyre tec proud to admit ignorance this column has been designed to provide an introductory course in the political jargon and doubletalk of municipal governments 1 making a motion it is a common misconception that this term refers to the wild gesticulations of a frustrated councillor in actual fact it means to advance a formal proposal or suggestion 2 tabling motion under the impression this process involves overturning tables and benches on unsuspecting citizens when the going gets tough many people never learn the phrases true denotation this action merely defers consideration of a proposal for the future it is the governments way of procrastinating 3 committee of the whole the word whole is often confused with its homonym hole there is no connection between the two a municipal council generally delegates authority for matters such as recreation and public works to committees of a few councillors a committee of the whole however is composed of all members of council 4 important issue often assumed lo be the sons and daughters of ambitious councillors planning to found a dynasty it is defined rather as an area of great concern 5 a severance a large segment of the population inevitably comes to council seeking one of these contrary to popular opinion the process involves no decapitation or bloodletting instead the construction indicates the splitting of a property into two lots for the purposes of selling one parcel to another 6 frontage this linguistic form is completely unrelated to another oftused word cleavage understand this expression to indicate clear sharp pictures an informed councillor would explain it is a proposition adopted by council 8 an act of council though it may be true the body has a flair for the dramatic and often puts on a good show it is imprpper to use the clause in the sense of putting on a good performance 9 the minutes of a meeting it is a common misconception that the minutes of a meeting are what every councillor has his eye on at 11 pm toward the end of a council meeting the term is in no way associated with time or clocks it refers 7 resolution photography buffs to a synopsis of the previous meeting 3 editors mail letter from home dear jim it is with considerable interest that ive been following your career and i notice youre again back at the tribune having read some markham economists while you were working there it was quite apparent that the paper improved greatly no doubt the same will be true of the tribune and we should appreciate it if you would send it to us on a yearly basis tom has been unable to do anything at all for the past three years due to a heart problem he has a pacemaker which i monitor twice weekly to toronto general hospital in spite of this he still has blackouts the cause of which he has not been able to determine so im sure hell enjoy having some stouffville and area news read to him f your story in the economist and sun v related to one turnip chapman was much appreciated i do not remember him specifically but i do recall he lived somewhere near the bowling green the item brought back childhood memories and many laughs also i can vouch for the authenticity of his remarks in this day and age it all seems rather incredible we
