It's too early to tell if the next elected board of trustees will back Russelî's desire 10 see botb Papke gone and a full reversal of Use board's policy govemance model. We will have to watt and see who holds the elected ochool board seats after November 10 before we can get an accu- rate barometer of where fellow trustees stand. With atly Drew Currab aspiring to a seat on Oakville's town counicil next month and Trustee Mike Ellis long departed after his own challenge of board policy, Russell could find herself Use taet trustee standing in defiance of Papke's leaderahip. Had she been facing a public challenge for hier trustee seat, we may have ques- tioned if Russeli's sudden public outburst wasn t more of a campaign ploy. However, wiUs an acclamation lin ber pocket, Russelî's impromptu press confer- decide who hier contemporaries will toe - seems ill-timed. With Datton McGuinty's election prom- ises of a brighter future for education, Use last Using Use Halton District School Board needs now is infighting among its trustees and staff. Wbile it's àot unusuat for elected offi- ciais 80 fmnd Usemselves at an impasse wiUs senior staff on epecific issues, a public cati for Use dismissal of Use education director outside Use context of a scbeduled board meeting seeros intentionatly defiant.

Malboeuf -s e-mail toi mayor sleazy, says Furik Dear Editor: t don't gel angry very often wiUs my fellow counicil members. tn fact, 1 pride myself on being a team player in order 80 get Use job done. However, Use front page story in the October 10 Champion bas made me angry indeed. After working atongside Mayor Gord Krantz for 12 years, t found it appalling 80 read Use vague allega- tions and between Use lies accusa- tions Usat were burled at one of Use longest-serving civil servants in Canada. Mr. Krantz bas eansed Use admi- ration and respect froro friend and for alike Usroughout Use province. Franly, bie deserves mucb better Usan to be treated wiUs sleazy polit- icat accusations. Surely Use citizens of Milton wii not believe Use nonsense in Councillor Rick Malboeuf's e- mail, wbich bie sent to Use mrayor. Surely Use citizens of Milton will not believe that he's trying to pro- tect Olive Krantz by askiosg bier husband to pull out of Use mayoral race. Surely Use voters of Milton won't believe Usat -Mr. Matboeuf bas Use beet interests of Use Kraastz famity at heart. Surely Use citizene of Milton will sbow Useir diogust at Usis brand of electioneering. t know that the oUser members of counicil are indeed disgusted at Use approach taken by Mr. Malboeuf. I would nincerely hope Usat Use oUser candidates rnning for office in Usis campaign will not stoop toi Usis low. Mr. Krantz certainly does- n't need Ron Furik to defend bim. However, as a mrembler of counicil - who even Mr. Malboeuf will admit bas neyer belonged ta any perceived 'Old Boys Club' - t feel t must strenuously object to dragging political oppontente Usrough Use mud. This type of campaigning dors- n't belong in Milton. Mr. Krantz was boro and raised in Milton, and bas oerved Uhs com- munity wiUs integrity for 30 years. tI fact, Mr. Krantz is Milton. As for Use Furik family, we don't believe in a 'New Mayor for a New Milton'. We believe in Gord - a 'Better Mayor for a Better Milton'.
