p4 weekender september 7 1985 municipal elections arent dull there is hardly a dull moment in the world of politics as is demons trated by the current precampaign activity in both whitchurch- stouffville and markham in markham incumbent carole bell has formally announced she will seek her first full term as mayor she was apppointed last year when tony roman became regional chairman speculation has it that regional councillor ron dancey will run against mrs bell for mar- khams top job if mr dancey does run it should be a hardfought campaign both are determined and seasoned cam paigners and both have large war chests to finance their campaigns in whitchurchstouffville incum bent tom wood also a council appointee faces a tough challenge from fran sainsbury the race promises to be hard fought and close as the outspoken mrs sainsbury takes on mr wood mayoralty races are always the most interesting aspects of local elections and they increase public involvement with the political pro cess democracy will be well served by stiff races in both municipalities speaking out who do yon think should replace frank miller as the leader of the progressive conservative party in ontario asked on markhams main st and stouffvilles main st weekender mailbag check facts reader george ras- mussen markham retired from everything ive seen i think larry grossman has the best qual ifications the re sults of the last election prove that they need someone different marc bossi markham insurance adjuster thats easy de nnis timbrell should become the new leader i was involved in his campaign last time doing some fundraising and general publicity ian morrison uxbridge ad sales manager frank miller wasnt the man for the job im for ross stevenson and he backs lar ry grossman dean wilson uxbridge loans manager i dont think mil ler was suited for the job ive thought a bit about it but ill wait and see who gets in there dear sir i am writing in response to the letter from t defranco economist and sun aug 28 i really could not believe what i read i urge this person to rethink a num ber of the points outlined and to research the subject matter more thoroughly i disagree with the comment that the paper has been amiss in its coverage of soccer i too read the economist and sun every week and quite frankly i cannot re member one issue that did not contain at least one article on soccer and this includes a complete breakdown of game results by division i do not dispute the facts and figures stated in the letter but i ask should the coverage given to a sport by the paper be based solely on registration figures believe it or not soccer fan other sports associations have competitive teams that represent the town of markham for ex ample the rep teams in my association compete against teamsfrom as far east as belleville as far west as bolton and tot tenham and as far north as orillia during their regular season i completely agree with your comment regarding the coverage of special events i feel that the coverage of tournaments and special events in all sports with a couple of possible exceptions is somewhat lacking i take great exception to the last state ment in your letter which says i wonder what would have been published if it had been a different sport competition say for example baseball well sports fan youre out in left field with that comment because baseball gets less coverage than any of the sports men tioned in your letter perhaps the problem is that your use of the term baseball is a misnomer to group all sports that use a bat and ball under the term baseball is a very com mon mistake to answer the implication made by your last statement i will only say that the competition probably would not even have been mentioned
