“I'm saying you‘re being very selective in your facts,“ said Stephens. MEETING TAPED The indication was he was thinking about some kind of action against Trustee Stephens, Vaughan Trustee Donald Cameron or Georgina Trustee Keith Hargrave. Cribar walked over to the board staff table to tell them the tape recording of the meeting was valuable. Break-up of the meeting left much of the Trustee Stephens denied calling Trustee Dr. John' Denison a liar. Cribar said he wanted time to consider in view of remarks by John Stephens, QC, of Thor- nhill, trustee elected by separate school voters from Markham-Rich- mond Hill. “It‘s about time we stopped that kind of nonsense." said Cribar. Markham Trustee Quirk summed the question up as some unhappy dealing with one school without a policy set. Riot policemen are much in evidence in Tokyo, says York Regional Councillor Ron Moran of Markham. Moran, who just returned from an in- ternational roads con- vention, reports that “Day after day we saw hundreds and yes, thousands of protesters marching with flags and chanting. They all wore white hard hats. The police came out in force wearing plastic visors and carrying shields.” “We saw security guards on many roof tops, using binoculars. Most business establishments have guards on the doors and throughout the building. When a government speaker at the Eighth International Roads Federation con- ference finished his ad- dress. as he left the room, two body guards walked in front of him and two at the rear.” He was out of the chair with Vice-Chairman Doreen Quirk in charge of the meeting so he could take part in debate. It is safe to walk on the back streets at 3 am. There is no mugging in Tokyo. A committee report on surplus school disposal policy still wasn‘t brought before the board as finalization of the school property was debated. Chairman Cribar ended it all with a motion to postpone the almost- reached final vote. The trouble is political. not criminal, says Moran. Newmarket Trustee Craig Cribar, board chairman, stood accused of using his office to help the town get the school for a nominal sum. It was suggested the property is worth $250,000 to $300,000 although the actual valuation remains a secret. At issue during hours of debate was sale of a surplus Newmarket elementary school property to that town for $10. | Riot policeeverywhere, Ron Moran says of Tokyo Amid charges of “monkeying around", conflict of interest, shuffling around and violation of trust, the board broke up in con- fusion after midnight.

SALAD BAR with all you can eat Most board members appear to consider such giving away of school properties to be im- possible as a general policy. Newmarket may end up This would mean the gifts would come out of the pockets of all York Region‘s taxpayers for the benefit of certain local municipalities. Some trustees also pointed out there are several schools soon to be surplus. If Newmarket is given a surplus school, several municipalities including King, Vaughan and Richmond Hill are expected to be after similar gifts from the board. He was surprised to find the political protests that he and other con- ventioners witnessed from their hotel windows were not mentioned at all in Tokyo’s English language newspaper. numerous prostitutes, he says, but “once you reject them you are perfectly safe to continue on your way”. Moran, along with Ray Ninney of Newmarket, Mayor Angus Morton of East Gwillimbury and engineering commissi- oner Bob Hodgson represented York Region at the Eighth Inter- national Roads Federation Conference in Tokyo. There were about 2,750 delegates representing 75 countries registered prior to the opening of the conference and many more arrived later, he said. He found it was the best conference he had ever attended, and estimated the three delegates from regional council would be out $1,000. A number of the trustees last week declared they are having second thoughts about the previous vote. And there is a legal question as to whether the deal has been made, or not. The region paid the $85 registration fee, $1.378 return air fare and a 10- They are there as representatives on high school matters only. The school being sold, Alexander Muir, is an elementary one. OBLIGATION Earlier in the year there were board and committee votes inâ€" dicating an intention to sell the school to Newmarket for $10 because of an obligation the board had to the town. The two trustees elected by separate school voters won’t get a vote. From the various procedural votes taken during the debates, it was evident the board is almost evenly split on the school sale issue. The chairman‘s vote may be the deciding one. Cameron threatened, in the letter, to introduce a motion censuring the chairman if he didn’t abstain from voting on the issue from then on. The letter said a number of trustees were questioning the chair- man‘s actions in the school sale matter. As it was, the Wed- nesday night session was an extra one lasting close to four hours with about three hours of the time devoted to the school sale issue. The board chairman started it all by reading out, on a point of personal privilege, a private letter from Trustee Cameron. board‘s October business unfinished. ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 669-2436 Only The next official board meeting is Nov. 14 unless Chairman Cribar calls a special session. Dr. Denison, trustee for East Gwillimbury, led with the motion to finalize the sale as agreed, with the town’s covenant to use the school for public benefit for 20 years or return it to the board. day per diem allowance of $50 per day for a total of $1,963. Trustee Baker said he was sure all trustees wanted municipalities to get surplus school properties wherever it is in the public interest, Newmarket included. Their only concern was that the schools be disposed of according to an equitable policy. Zajac said the mistake is made and she feels morally bound to keep faith with Newmarket council. Declaring they questioned the chair- man's handling of the matter were Trustee Hargrave‘ Trustee Cameron and King Trustee Margaret Coburn. Near the end of the debate, Cameron declared he publicly with- drew his remarks about Chairman Cribar. PUBLIC INTEREST Cameron said that as a trustee it wasn’t his in- tention to either publicly or privately question the integrity of the chairman personally. But his own expenses were $2,592 not counting laundry service, personal phone calls, gifts, souvenirs, film, liquor or entertainment expenses. He is recommending that the per diem rate be in- creased to $65. The theme of the conference was “better roads for better living”, and there were five dif- ferent papers being presented by authorities from such countries as the United States, Russia, Korea and the Ivory Coast. Headphones were p r o v i d e d f o r simultaneous translation into Japanese, French or English or for those who wanted to listen to speakers in their original language over the din of the meeting halls. She said she'll vote for finalization of the sale, even though it's wrong and her district can exâ€" pect to be denied the same kind of gift for a surplus school in the immediate future. Sam Cass, Com- missioner of Roads and Traffic for Metropolitan Toronto spoke on the “Environmental Aspects of the Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway". These included Markham‘s Robert McMonagle. Richmond Hill‘s Robert Houghton and King’s Dorothy Zajac. Houghton said he was told the deal wouldn‘t cost the board anything. but that was wrong. It was notâ€" one of, the better speeches at the conference, says Moran. Several trustees from this area declared they'd made a mistake in their previous votes in favor of the gift. Richmond Hill Trustee Eric Baker argued there has been no dollar value put on the board's obligation to Newmarket and there should be such a valuation before any gift to the town is con- sidered. being a municipality getting a special benefit.
