The others are chairman Judge William Lyons and Gordon Cook of Vaughan, who was re-appointed this month for another two-year term. Mrs. Rolling was recently appointed to a two-year term on the commission in place of long-standing member, Stewart Rumble of Markham. Rowe said he had worked with Mrs. Rolling for some years and had found her “most capable," and was sure she‘d do a “tremendous job.“ However, he was “extremely disappointed that Richmond Hill has NEWMARKET â€" The appointment of East Gwillimbury Mayor Gladys Rolling to York Regional Police Commission has deprived the lower part of the region of equal represen- tation, Councillor Gordon Rowe of Richmond Hill told a meeting of the region last week.

So far as policy went, he didn‘t think it was to the advantage of any municipality to be on the commission. Said Mayer Rolling: “I don‘t think it makes much difference. My thoughts won‘t change much, no matter where I sit.” Commissioner Ray Twinney was another one who didn‘t think the board was something that was restricted to any one area. . .I think the distribution before was fairly equal and I‘m sorry to see a change like this,“ Rowe said. He said, also. that Rumble should be congratulated for the work he had done, while with the commission.

I gave him the stories and suggested he take in a couple of all-candidates meetings. but resisted the temptation to tell him how he ought to vote. It was tempting. And so is it now, in our final pre-election issue, to say the hell with objectivity and to make the most of The Liberal's considerable power of influence. It was tempting. And so is it now. in our final pre~election issue, to say the hell with objectivity and to make the most of The Liberal‘s considerable power of influence. But there are lots of good arguments against doing so. This is a relatively small municipality and there's ample opportunity for interested voters to get to know the candidates. This newspaper‘s role. I believe. is to in- form, to interpret and to provide a forum for anyone‘s views â€" and also to live up to its reputation for fairness and objectivity. A single departure from this responsibility might well lead readers to question the reliability of Our The men were both described as being five feet‘ eight inches, 150 pounds, brown hair; and wearing blue jeans and blue jackets.

Mary MacDonald, Castlerock Rd, was robbed of $18 in cash in a break-in at her home the same night.

Facing charges of theft and possession under $200. is Brent Bon- darchuk, 17, of Buttonwood Cres., Markham. Besides that. I believe quite strongly that any council ought to have opposing viewpoints represented. Having a Schiller here. a Corcoran there (for example) makes for more responsive. better balanced local government Having nine persons essentially alike in philosophy and approach does not. And minority interests. whether you like them or not, do have a place in any legislative forum. Ridges, reported the theft of a quantity of coins from their homes. Roadway also lost a rug. plus some liquor and wme. At Markham Town Offices, the theft of a cactus plant brought about a speedy arrest. Christmas shopping?

Robert Woods, 18, of Dunlop St.. Richmond Hill. faces charges of common assault, causing a disturbance and mischief to public property over $50, following an altercation on a TTC bus at Arnold Ave. and Yonge St. in Richmond Hill, about 8 pm, Nov. 27. Police said the two were arrested after a security guard at Hillcrest Mall had followed a couple of women around to 13 places in the mall, the afternoon of Nov. 27, and watched them fill up their shopping bags with various items without paying for them. ‘ To start with the easiest. I don‘t think Gord Rowe will get things done Expansion of our commercial and industrial assessment can relieve the homeowner's tax burden . . . and, at the same time promote more employment for local people. Yet. nothing is being done about it. The negative attitudes so characteristic of the Mayor’s “all talk . . . no action" approach to managing the affairs of Richmond Hill. are most meaningfully reflected in the property tax increases during the past two years. We need action NOW! And, we'll get it through the positive business-like leadership of Gord Rowe. A man who has served this community for eleven years in local government, six years in regional government. and 25 years as an independent businessman. Gord Rowe knows this community, its people and its needs He'll get things done! Sponsored by the committee to elect Gord Rowe Mayor of Richmond Hill Another incumbent who clearly deserves re-election is John Birchall in Ward 3. All the incumbents seem reasonably responsive to their con- stituencies, but Birchall has probably set new records in that regard. He is sincere and conscientious and does a thorough job of whatever he tackles. Andy Chateauvert (Ward 1). Marylo Graham (Ward 4) and Mike Burnie (Ward 6) have all performed their duties responsibly and honorably.

Whether that‘s clear to the residents of these wards. I don't know. Clear-cut choices The other races â€" the mayoralty and Ward 5 â€" are a different story altogether. And it‘s here that I‘m copping out. The issues are obvious enough. the choices clear enough, that most voters probably have their minds firmly made up. anyway‘ nrmly made up, anyway. Incumbent Councillor William Corcoran and challenger Ann Gold respect each other about as much as Catholics and Protestants in Belfast do. I can get along with them both, and I‘ll just sit back and let them fight it out up in Ward 5. Anyway I m looking forward to Monday night.
