a14 tribune august 13 1986 potter creates perfection by jim thomas greenwood the sign reads simply barn swallow potters however it takes a closer look to fully appreciate the work and the worker behind the scenes deanna jones mother of one operates out of a small but neat little shop in the hamlet of greenwood products of her handiwork are everywhere several hundred pieces in all their beauty defies descrip tion deanna owes a lot to her skill for its not only a source of in come but the means by which she met her husband allan dropped by her place one day to look over the selection but it deanna jones a professional potter turns out beautiful work in her small shop at greenwood i wouldnt want to do anything else says the 33yearold mother of one jim thomas was the potter and not the pot tery that caught his eye a last ing friendship developed it was 14 years ago that dean na watched intently as another potter applied her trade she la ter talked to her then took les sons from her the rest is his tory allan and deanna moved to greenwood in march 1983 they have a son greg three deanna works with two types of clays stoneware and porce lain she has her own wheel and kiln i enjoy it she says i wouldnt want to do anything else deannas cozy workshop re novated and insulated by her husband with the help of kenn mctaggart suits her purpose just fine although she holds an open house

was an affront to those interested enough to attend there were no remarks or assurances given or implied by the dei velopers we heard only from a planning consultant employed by the develop ers who smothered us with platitudes we heard from a hydrology consultant who gave me the impression he had attended the meeting only because someone told him to turn at ringwood he said we were not to worry because most bloomington wells are deep wells one of the oldest wells in bloomington my well is a shallow well he suggested that the water in the gravel pit behind my house would evaporate or would seep into the ground i know one of the developers would have appreciated this as he tried to pump it dry for continued extraction of aggregate the chairman said he had achieved the purpose of the meeting if his purpose was to establish confrontation this was achieved by first asking who was for and who was against the development before anyone knew what the proponents had to say this is like hanging- someone than having a trial i was forced to voice objection to the development only because our chairman had a closed mind as to the format the meeting should take my objection was only to the lack of assurance given or implied by- either council or the developer that any agreement had been obtained from the region that the road between stouffville and bloomington would be upgraded to accommodate a doubling of population in bloomington the planner said the increase in population would be good for the stouffville economy i suggest then we should lay a substantially better path to the door of our local commerce we could at the same time include a bicycle path for the safety of not only the many people who now use the ninth line but for the potential increase in the number of children who may choose to ride their bicycles to and from stouffville the final laugh of the meeting was when the planner said the ninth was a well maintained paved road except for the top and bottom of the ninth line between bloomington and stouffville the road has not seen any substantial upgrading in the past twenty years the planner should stick to planning and leave the road assessment to people who use the road now is the time to work with the region and obtain a commitment for road improvement all the way to stouffville bob lewis m jackson motors stelar 347 main st n hwy 48 markham
