town has the opportunity to enjoy a turkey dinner at christmas this year norm clements said he thought we should have a drive to raise money and buy a whole bunch of turkeys so that nobody in the community goes without one explained market manager rob shannon clements who owns the market and the national sports centre pledged 1000 from both organizations and vendors were asked to make a 20 contribution to the drive which is still about 200 short of its goal shannon anticipates that about 220 turkeys which have been ordered at a cost of 4000 will be arriving at the facility early next week but so far only about half of them are spoken for weve written letters to the churches in stouffville and talked to the stouffville lions club but we would like to hear from anybody else who is in need he said market coordinator owen nash who is organizing the drive has also contacted the loaves and fishes food bank in uxbridge and the geprgina food pantry in east gwillimbury both of whom will be distributing a number of turkeys confidentiality of recipients is guaranteed stressed shannon we dont want peoples names or addresses unless they need the turkey delivered dehveries will likely be organized through local service clubs the initiative is typical of clements whom shannon describes as a very generous man both to his staff and to the community cash donations to help reach the 4000 goal would be welcome and can be dropped off at the flea market office for more information on the turkey drive call owen nash at 6403813 cao dewing passes probationary period the towns chief

tues day morning local shoppers may be surprised from page 1 ing an artistic theme he said weve got to do something different ive been pressing to have artists set up along main st in the summer time weve got the latcham gallery and weve got the little parkette over by the con servation area and we could have artists set ting up in certain areas on main st people would stop if we did that he said the downtown business area could ben efit from increased access to main st from the north the opening up of at least three streets all the way north to millard would accomplish that objective access to main st has to be made better for safety as well as for business and if there were three streets opened up then you wouldnt have a severe traffic problem on any one side street parking a problem cited in the past by some residents as an impediment to main st shop ping is not really an issue said barthau we have more people out for midnight mad ness than we do all year and we dont get any ddmphrints about tjarkhig then7rtfrtk sofrie people will always want to be able to park three or four parking spaces from the store theyre going into like many other local merchants barthau thinks downtown core retailers are shunned automatically by some in the community we have people come in and say theyve been looking for an item in airthe malls and theyre surprised to find it in our store barthau said some local shoppers may have used one bad experience with a merchant to write off the entire business district he said shoppers should approach someone if theyve had a bad experience in an effort to get to the bottom of the problem when it comes to store hours and closings barthau said merchants must adhere rigidly to hours posted on the door while he along with most of the other main st merchants are still closed sundays that could change in the future youve got to change with the times theres no need for sunday openings now but when the antique railroad comes to town the

officer in a prepared statement mayor fran sainsbury said dewings diversity of experi ence in the municipal environ ment over the past 20 years allows merlin the opportunity to present a fresh approach to municipal issues in the past six months he has shown the ability to deal effec tively with council and gained the confidence of staff to estab lish an effective administrative team sainsbury announced dewing said he was very excited about the opportunity to continue working with staff and council and said he now looks forward to moving his wife and two daughters to the area from cornwall there are many important issues facing the town and with dewings professional assis- tance we look forward to addressing the challenges ahead sainsbury said ward 2 councillor stephen bellerby said dewing has also gained the confidence of a great number- of local taxpayers which was evident at a recent meeting regarding a controver sial subdivision development after the meeting several residents called the tribune to congratulate dewing in his pro fessionalism in handling a deli cate issue and several even chided he should run for mayor he has proven that he is the kind of person we want here and the constituents at large are noticing bellerby said tracy kibble complaints irk council from page 1 with the way things are she added that its likely only the ban- gay family who has complaints where were all these people against councils position on the ninth there are not as many as bangay would have us believe this whole thing is very disappointing the mayor said councillors were reacting to bangays attack of a staff report answering safety concerns along the ninth line south from parkview village to main street which included deadending the road and installing a crosswalk and stop signs at sunset blvd r bangay called the report biased and a piece of garbage but sainsbury said the report was based on engineering exper tise and the rules and ideas of the provinces transportation min istry and the police ward 1 councillor ivanka bradley said next time residents ask for something in their neighborhood shell watch more closely if this is an example of how things work ill be watching next time i thought this sidewalk which every one wanted would be the answer i thought it would solve the problem why is it still mushrooming bradley asked sainsbury said the residents dont know what they want quite frankly and ward 2 councillor stephen bellerby said the residents dis played a subjective case versus the engineering rationale of staff officials
