assault against two stouf f ville men and another from scar borough was thrown out of court the three men elias raptis and george man- tziouras of stouffville and nicholas mantziouras of scarborough stood accused of sexually assaulting a 16yearold girl who worked for them at the coun try stop burgers restaurant they were in court june 3 to stand trial 16 months after the charge was laid defence lawyer p murray asked that the charge be quashed on the grounds that it didnt make sense it alleges that the three men committed a single sexual assault on the girl between the months of october and december 1984 provincial court judge daryl draper described the charge as absurd no accused should be called upon to defend a charge that is manifestly absurd on its face he said crown attorney elizabeth cowie argued that the charge could be amended so the trial could begin she requested that the wording of the charge be changed to did sexually assault during the months of october november and december 1984 miss cowie explained that by rewording the charge as such it made more sense but did not make the accused men any more or less guilty mr murray disagreed saying that such an amendment would be changing not only the form which can be amended but the substance of the charge judge draper sided with mr murray saying the resulting charge would be so completely diffe rent as to deprive the accused of their legal rights the new charge is complex it may involve ac tions by one two or three of the accused at different times in concert or in various combinations he said and with that he quashed the charge no new charge had been laid at press time quntrye tyme realty ltd any car will last a lifetime gk if youre not careful g vsa95090 6405090 vol 99 no 6 a metroland community

hance its overall impact on the surrounding community claims j a coowner of the wellknown flea market norm faulkner defended the 2 project which would see the ex isting main barn structure ad joined by a similar structure to the east after nearby subdivi sion residents claimed that ex pansion of the facility would further disrupt the neighborhood several ratepayers voiced con cerns including noise pollution and traffic congestion when the proposal came up for discussion at a council public meeting june however mr faulkner who owns the hwy 47 operation with j willowdales norm clements claimed there isnt going to be a doubling of the operation as many residents believe he said the purpose of a new barn is to accommodate vendors already selling their wares out doors on the 36acre property our demand for inside space is much greater than for outside space mr faulkner explained we dont expect to extend the market any more than it already is as to the postexpansion traffic situation the stouffville man said in an interview i think there will be some weekends when it will get heavier a prime concern of objectors is the inclusion of an amusement designation in the requested com mercial zoning bylaw while some feel this would leave the door wide open for the kind of attractions found at theme parks like canadas wonderland mr faulkner stressed that kiddy car rides will be the barns only form of amusement health and traffic are the two main concerns according to council member jim sanders who commended the proposal be cause of the owners apparent attempt
