p 4 weekender saturday may 31 1997 st saturday may 31 1997 vol 13 no 25 the tribune 905 6402100 fax- 905 6405477 email thetribistarca editorial use your vote well were not going to tell you how to vote on monday thats your decision however here are some things the tribune believes you should take into consideration as you stand before the ballot box we have said from the start of this election that voters should look hard at the individual candidates and not be overly swayed by the party they represent that being the case we believe the candidates running in oak ridges for the main political parties all appear to be able and dedicated people john andersen of the rc party has a long association with politics through his media association he is intelligent capable and forthcoming he is familiar with stouffville issues and has run an admirable campaign bryon wilfert is the most experienced candidate running for the liberals wilfert has served on richmond hill council for many years and our understanding is that he is well liked by his constituents and the other members of council- he is friendly and hardworking it is also obvious that he cares about his com munity edward sarafian was an admirable choice for the reform party he is honest and wellspoken and appears to know the issues well it is unfortunate that wynne hartviksen is running for the ndp she would make a powerful representative in ottawa she is articulate well prepared and organized she is also one of the most charming candidates we have encountered in many years she is passionate about her community and the issues and gen uinely cares about this area she was also the best informed can didate on stouffville issues we interviewed the ndp has a great candidate but the party is almost certain to lose in this rid ing its your vote use it well jane scott keeps on rocking at the age of 77 when your turn 35 some thing happens to the music gene lees how true breathes there a reader over the age of 35 who doesnt pine for the good old music of their youth and who doesnt think that the songs that make up todays hit parade exhibit all the charm and musicali- ty of a tomcat in rut having his way with a set of bag pipes i know that the music i rocked to 25 years ago was infinitely superior to the squawking and squalling that comes over my radio today oddly enough i seem to remember my father mak ing the same point about his music not surprising i guess the music we like as kids filtered down to us through a swamp of raging hor mones its only natural that we would outgrow the music most of us anyway but then theres jane scott basic black arthur black jane is a reporter with a newspaper called the cleveland plain dealer in ohio the rock and roll scene is her assigned beat every friday and saturday night finds jane crammed into a writhing thrashing mob listening to groups like smashing pumpkins or the dead kennedys its a job shes held for three art exhibit was terrific dear editor the

reporter is 77 years old i must be the only rock writer who is going to their 60th high school reunion this summer says jane what does she look like like a cross between your grandmother and a bag lady silvergray curls tum ble helterskelter around her heavy hornrim glasses she wears a rumpled raincoat a mans wrist- watch and she carries a shopping bag looped over the arm thats not holding her everpresent notepad my survival kit she calls the bag it carries peanut butter sandwiches a box of kleenex safety pins the true sign of a rock and roll veteran a set of ear plugs she likes a lot of rock groups but even she will admit theyre not all good still she has nothing but raves for the kinks bruce springsteen and zz top there arent many pop stars jane scott hasnt met in her 30 years on the beat shes joked with jagger bantered with the beach boys and spent quality time with the beatles there have been other moments the last time springsteen performed in cleveland he yelled out to the audience is janey here i want to see her even bob dylan the her mit of rock and roll thaws when jane scott is around four years ago i got an invitation to come back stage at the palace theatre the night of his show recalls jane i did manage a lame question about his album when i extended my hand to shake good bye he kissed me on both cheeks later i was told that he dedicated like a rolling stone to me how big is jane scott in the annals of rock and roll big enough to rate her own exhibit in the rock and roll hall of fame in cleveland right up there along with aretha franklin the supremes eric clap ton michael jackson simon and garfunkel jane scotts listened to and writ ten about them all well not quite all jane scott does have one regret she never got to meet the king but she came close back in the 60s jane tiptoed up the back stairs to the top floor of the old hotel statler peeked around the corridor and the jig was up scowl ing down at me was a body guard about 7 feet tall with a hairdo like don king he seemed four feet wide i never did get an interview with elvis presley elvis loss stouffville tribune weekender a metroland community newspaper patricia pappas
