attewells coxswain may not be all wet weekender january 9 1993 p7 among the dignitaries saluting the provincial championshipwin ning individuals and teams of whitchurchstouffville at that towns celebration of athletic excellence this past wednesday night was bill attewell and while the markham whitchurchstouffville mp got a rise out of the audience for his reminiscences of his younger days spent as the pintsized coxswain of a lessthansuccessful arg onaut rowing club squad there were some like myself who were anxious to corner him and talk politics thanks to the efforts of bills vandorf neighbor and whitchurchstouffville town councillor ivanka bradley i was given the opportunity to ask the tory house member a few ques tions about the looming federal election ever the gentleman bill was cooperative and direct he told me he thinks the elec tion will be called in early to mid august for late september or early october and theres still lots of time for a shift in public opinion towaid the conservatives he suggested the key lies in the economy the american economy is show ing signs of coming around he offered and with our biggest from where i live bruce stapley trading

bill a recent poll shows the tories almost neck and neck with the grits if joe clark replaced mul- roney at the helm when i asked him if his party might be better off with a new leader bill reiter ated his point about there still being time for his boss to make a comeback bill finished up by telling me he had enjoyed his years in office and that while there was still more work to be done he was well on his way to getting orga nized for the next election and i couldnt help but think of his rowing story related earlier in the evening about how he never once got thrown in the water which is the standard reward for coxswains of winning boats for it could be that despite bills optimism he and his tory team mates just might not get the chance to throw brian mul- roney in the drink after next
