Councillors Clash Over Roads Sheardown Lashes Out At Van Luyk A one mile strip of road in King Township Council resulted in one councillor taking a verbal strip off an- other one Monday of last week. Object of their disaffec- tion was the unlikely-named Pumphouse Road in the H01- land Marsh. Councillor Jack Van Luyk, who represents the Marsh, went at lengths to chide the roads committee (of which he is a member) of dragging its heels with regards to paving the one-mile strip. The road in question is pres- ently privately owned which means the township has no authority to move in and Church News At St. John‘s Anglican Sunday there will be a cele- bration of Holy Communion at 10:30 am.

He charged that consider- able money had been Spent to ascertain whether the municipality could pave it when “a third of this money spent in investigation could have paved it.” Councillor Van Luyk did- n't think the fact that the road was privately owned was an insurmountable ob- stacle stating that a similar situation had existed in a neighboring municipality and had been solved. He didn’t explain in detail. SHEARDOWN ANGRY This brought Councillor Murray Sheardown, who is chairman of the roads com- mittee. to the fore in some- what angry and exasperated fashion. “We’ve gone over this at least six times before in committee and I don't in- tend to go over it again," he said. "I'm damn well sick and tired of you aCCusing the roads committee of doing nothing about the Pump- house-Road situation when you know very well our hands are tied." Slightly red in the face, Mr. Sheardown pointed out that “you’re a member of the roads committee and you go right ahead and do it‘ You live in the area and it‘s very simple. You ’carry the ball and we’ll sit back and applaud." Councillor Sheardown con- tinued on in an angry vein accusing Councillor Van Luyk of not understanding the situation and also con- demned him for apparently accusing the committee of “being slinkers on the job. This isn't so and I don‘t in- tend to sit here and take it," STILL ANGRY A little later on he inter- preted one of Mr. Van Luyk's remarks as indicating that “we're dishonest here in council and I won’t take that either." Councillor Sheardown did explain the major hold-up was that the road was a pri- vate one and that council had not received permission from all the residents to en- able it to assume it.

Councillor Sheardown said there was one alternative and that was to have the municipality expropriate the necessary road allowance but that would cost money. AGAINST EXPROPRIATION Councillor Bill Long obâ€" jected to this alternative statin'g that “spending money for expropriating such road allowance wouldn't be fair to the rest of the citizens of King Township and I’m not in favor of it." A He concluded by saying the township shouldn’t as- sume the road unless the residents agreed to turn over the road allowance.

Ad- mittedly. the first annual Legion Softball Tourney wasn't a very big one; but then neither was the first annual Legion Hockey Tourâ€" ney when it was held back in 1968. Somebody said the Fuddle Duddle Softball Team was started as a joke. But they didn't look like jokers when they were burying the East Metro fiolice Team 12-0 at the town park in the semi- final game September 30. They won that one with 12 runs off 20 hits. Pitcher 013/ Oliver allowing the police- men only one hit in the third inning. Later the Fuddle Duddles defeated Aurora Legion 9-3 to win the cham- pionship final. It was disappointing that more people_were not out to witness the Sunday finals. Not only was there a bright blue sky with,a hot sun, the play and the cheerleading was something to get hot under the collar with. To this observer (who was watching the first ball game of his life) it was indeed an exciting day â€" even though a little diffi- cult to understand at times. As a newcomer to the noble art of ball, it was ex- plained that the object of the game is to hit the ball as far as possible and then run 'round three bases back to where you started. This con- stitutes a run. Something like a game called “cricket” played at Eton College, Eng- land; and something like the game “rounders” played at government approved schools and reformatories in the same country. Unlike cricket. however, we found the fuddle duddle bowler pitched the ball in such a low. underhanded way that the guy holding the bat wasn‘t given much of" a chance to take a correspond- ing swipe.

As a result, Oly Oliver. who was bowling from the Lions hall end. man- aged to knock off each sucâ€" cessive batter who appeared from what a naval veteran kept announcing as “on deck". And unlike rounders. a Fuddle Duddle hero wearing a green polka dot golfing cap, stepped up and knocked the ball for six across the pitch and ran around all bases to home in one go. By the time the fielders re- trieved the ball, Billy Robson could have run ’round a couple of more times, but he didn‘t. More confusing was the fact that when a shutout appears imminent, it is usual for the losing team to take the goalie out. if only to break the deadlock. But no; they kept Plante in there all afternoon. Shifting on the wooden, sun-bleached benches in the town park can become a problem to the rear end after a while. but even harder to understand was the plausibil- ity of a visiting supporter of a competing team. This young red-faced lady seated on an adjacent bench spent the af- ternoon vociferously explain,- ing the qualities of a gen.- tleman who appeared to be refereeing the game. She claimed to know the gentle- man quite well, because she maintained the referee at third base was both cross- eyed and blind at the same time, he had no ethics, and his parents were not married. Luckily for the lady, the gen- tleman also appeared to be deaf. THINK CANADIAN. Haltlax. Average yearly snow lall, over 9 leet. Quebec City.

And why players don’t run but sometimes walk while zip- ping up a sacrifice fly after making an error. To a new- comer. it makes one wonder if the game is decent. However. there is no doubt that all present enjoyed the proceedings. and the general hope is that there will be another tournament next year. As Legion President Douglas Hopson commented later when the giant tourna- ment trophies were being awarded by the Brothers Smith of NS. Realty, “If there's more of these to come. we'll have to build more shelves in Richmond Hill Legion." In connection with the Legion Report of September 27, Fuddle Duddle Teamster Danny Kelly states that he was not responible for the naming of his team. That honor goes-to the other co- horts, or earlier Legion war- riors. Apologies go to Danny for the static he received. Members and their guests are reminded that an Air Cadet Dance will take off Saturday evening at Legion Squadron 778 headquarters. namely the banquet hall. And that the branch October Gen- eral Meeting will convene next Monday at 8 pm. S L STUDIO ‘A’ THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thurday, Oct. 11, 1973 ALLENCO'URT PLAZA 455 MARKHAM RD.
