wilfmorley ward five dulverton but slowly wilf morley stouffville wiu morley council candidate in ward 5 whitchurch stouffville isnt opposed to the 550- home dulverton development going ahead lets get on with the job he says however hes not in favor of its completion within a period of only five years but rather would stage it out over seven to ten years it will undoubtedly create a big load on our education and recreation services he told the tribune in a preelection interview im not prepared to place that burden on the present taxpayers the former chairman of the towns recreation committee and the stouffville community centre board has come out strongly in favor of a recreation complex that should include an indoor pool but again not at the expense of the taxpayers he feels the local service clubs and townspeople should band together and make such a venture a community project while the arena he feels is adequate for the time being he claims the pool is not the maintenance he says is extremely heavy for a relatively short period of three months each summer the complex he feels should represent a challenge to the com munity starting with perhaps the indoor pool and adding to it as the need requires but not all at once he states a stouffville resident 24 years wilf morley is concerned over a lack of industrial assessment here and he sees little likelihood of it coming unless theres serviced land available progressive com panies arent interested in digging holes in the ground he claims who needs that kind of aggravation he points to mcneil laboratories as a prime example of quality industry he suggests the land at the rear of canadian tire would be ideal for additional industrial buildup lack of adequate water pressure in stouffvilles east end particularly during the summer is another concern not only of ward 5 residents but also many in ward 6 he says a pump once located at the corner of main street and baker avenue should be re installed at least as a temporary measure until an elevated tower is erected as the situation stands now every homeowner faces a serious fire hazard he claims theres been a ruralurban division not only in the town council but in the town he points out that while the country residents dont com plain very much many still feel stouffville gets it all in addition to the aforementioned pos itions wilf morlev served as president of the whitchurch stouffville minor hockey association currently hes chairman of the lat- cham art gallery and a member of the town library board for nine years he was a teacher on the staff of sum- mitview public school now hes the area 3 business ad ministrator york county board of education the tribune thursday oct 3 1m s e first j stouffville potholes and housing developments may not be exactly synonyms but to prospective ward 5 councillor marie adams they merit the same concern were all in this together she says i want to be sensitive to the needs of the people no matter what the issue thats why shell work just as hard to get to the bottom of a stray pothole as it were as she will to see that she doesnt automatically fall into the trap of seeing all development as bad development when any such proposals might arise the word development has a bad name she says as one developer told me people think it means letting a skunk in the kitchen and while shes not 750 ml bottles plus

nor does she see the com parison as apt she does feel that stouffville cant afford to remain sedentary then housing is a definite concern definitely says mrs adams a resident of stouffville for the past 26 years housing ac commodation or placement of housing theres a need for more that includes apartments as well i know of people who are looking for that type of thing she said she pauses at that and ponders her words then as if to make sure she wont be misun derstood she says i want people to know that im not talking about the former village of stouffville only but about the entire town of whitchurch stouffville overall however mrs adams feels theres a lack of planning in this direction i dont want to sound negative but these are the needs she says im not in this because im disgruntled but because i feel i can do a good job in the next two years theres a need for strong directive leadership at the council level does that mean its lacking now no said mrs adams it wasnt a matter of running against the incumbent but a desire to play an active part in dealing with both her own concerns and those of the people in adams whitchurch stouffville im people- oriented she said whether its building houses or roads its because people need them people come first when i knock at a door campaigning i tell them that if their children want to work and live here there should be that provision so they dont have to go elsewhere they deserve a planned future at present chairman of the library board the first woman in that capacity she has also been president of both local and area home and school associations a member of the com mittee for stouffvilles canada centennial committee and stouff ville centennial com mittee home support services committee culture and recreation master plan committee and is area director of yellow brick house as chairman of the library board she has seen latcham art gallery come into being acclaimed as unique in ontario the gallery was financed mostly from outside sources with little cost to the tax payer she says mother of four grown children and grand mother of one mrs adams holds a bachelor of education degree from university of alberta a degree in clinical psychology from rich mond college and is working toward her masters traffic a problem stouffville the town of whitchurch stouffvilles traffic problems kept carol bent from moving here for a long time but now that shes here she wants to do something about it thats one of the reasons she decided to seek a spot on town council in ward 5 a surprising number of people bring up the traffic problem especially main street on saturdays mrs bent says and although she admits she hasnt any magic solution im willing to listen and see what i can do to alleviate the situation a resident of stouff ville forthree years this mother of three children says shes starting to look beyond the home now that the children are older does she feel then that she can contribute to council im not sure thats the kind of thing thats important now mrs bent said all members feel they are doing a good job or they wouldnt be there she says shes- in favor of longterm planning rather than explosive growth i hope to prevent us from becoming a suburb of toronto mrs bent says she feels council mishan dled the dulverton development i wouldnt have approved so large a concept she said i dont think you can keep the character of a town by enlarging it a third of its size mrs bent does however feel theres a need for more apart ments i could see that immediately communication or the lack of it is another concern its important for council to be open she said when reminded that the meetings are open to the public she said that council should be more aggressive in keeping people informed through such things as newsletters or through a regular newspaper column by the mayor half the things people criticize are because they dont know a citizen has a respon sibility to find out things but you have to make it easy for them mrs bent said carol bent
