Bartley wants 2nd term 3 ELECTION 2010: Leading up to Oct. 25 vote Richard Bartley is seeking re- election as councillor of Ward 5 because he wants to keep a careful watch on some projects. Those projects include the development of Bloomington Road and Ninth Line, the opening of Bethesda Park and the plaza going in at Tenth Line and Main Street. Perhaps one of the biggest issues for residents in his ward is the new-home construction behind Geoffrey Crescent, across the Tenth from the Stouffville Country Market. “I have no hidden agendas, no personal agenda. Whatever I can do to make Stouffville the best place for people to work, live and play in.” Mr. Bartley said. His first term as councillor was about what Mr. Bartley expected, although he did admit it “was a huge learning curve". Added Mr. Bartley: “It’s a lot of work There's a lot of behind the scenes things (and) I wish things moved quicker internally.” Imhnflnomta For tfie past 30 years, Mr. Bart- BY SANDRA BOLAN sbolan@yrmg.com 0 SALES Ill EERWCE to ALL MAKES OF HEARING AIDS 0 Tlnnlm Thonpy - ADP. m.

Where sightlines are compro- mised, according to Mr. Richardson, areinthecomersaswellasthenear boards â€" if the player is shorter than 42 inches, which is the height of the boards. Added Mr. Emmerson: “The sightlines are no different than other arenas. I go to a lot of arenas and there's always some blind spots in the comers." “They are as standard as they get," he said. The Weldon Road arena is exact- ly the same as Barrie’s Holly Recre- ation Centre arena and Unionville’s Angus Glen arena, according to Mr. Emmerson. Not only was Ms Parker disap- pointed with the sightlines, but also the washroom facilities, in particu- lar those on the main floor. “Why so small? Most spectators use the facilities on their way in and on their way out,” Ms Parker wrote. “Men have one urinal.

Family facilities are on the east end and public washâ€" rooms are on the west end of the seating level. But no one would know that as there are currently no signs direct- ing people to the various amenities within the arena » They are expected to arrive any day. “Without the signage there, I can see where she is confused," Mr. Richardson conceeded. Ms Parker wasn’t finished. “I am glad that I am only a hock- ey aunt in your town and not a taxpayer,” she concluded. “When my town decides it is time to build another ice rink, I will be sure and have them tour your facility before they proceed." Mr. Emerson has responded to Ms Parker and asked to speak to her nephew to get his input on the arena. As of press time, she has not responded to Mr. Emmerson. “We absolutely welcome her here to try and do something about this, ifherdesineistotrytomakethis better,” Mr. Richardson said.
