Liberal Sports Editor By FRED SIMPSON Good Brothers star Get lost in the past Free swimming Priorities “It’s something we do all the time in our association, it’s written in the constitution. They knew full well this was our policy before they entered." Where did it all begin? . The two separate camps seem to agree that it was agreed that Oak Ridges could enter Bantam, Peewee and Squirt clubs in the Richmond Hill loop. more, players from the team and replacing them with Richmond Hill players. 7 p Meetings were held and that‘s where the issue becomes, in a word, divisive. States Bestard: “They told us we could enter a team from Oak Ridges provided we had a full complement of players from here, a coach, manager and sponsor. We were required to pay $10 a child into the association and also provide our own sweaters." “That’s when the rumbling started about us being too strong," said Bestard. “It just appeared that way. That game saw the other team walking 28 of our batters and hence the big score. Take away those walks and you’d have had a much truer idea of the actual game. He added that his team of 9 and 10-year-olds won their first game by 19-8, the second by 15-12 and then opened‘regular league play by defeating the opposition 40-8. “I tried to tell tfiem at a sub- sequent meeting that things He is survived by his wife Dora, and children Anne Marie and Peter.

Give us a chance. How could we have an all-star team of When Councillor Bill Corcoran expressed the sentiment that it would be much better if a hydro representative was present to answer questions and support their decision, Councillor Mike Burnie took the opportunity to invite everyone present to a meeting this Thursday sponsored by the Citizens’ Advisory Group, in the Blue Flame Room of the Consumers Gas Building where hydro officials and members of council are to be present to give information and answer questions. Ferrando maintains that Bestard as well as the coaches of the other Oak Ridges teams knew “from the very beginning that our policy was to make ad- justments on teams if they proved to be too strong for the Councillor John Birchall took the opportunity to show the concerned residents the “photo- montage", a picture of the area with the future towers superimposed, provided by Ontario Hydro. Councillor Lou Wainwright said hydro representatives would go over the history of the decision for a location for the 500 kV The audience gasped when they saw the fairly realistic in- terpretation of how the area would look in the late 19805. (See photos, Page A-7) People in that area state in the petition their concern is that their property will be drastically devalued; there will be “total visual pollution” and there are potential health hazards from the two towers which will carry 500,000 volt lines. And the majority of council agreed with them as they passed a bylaw which prohibits overhead transmission lines. The information came from aerial maps presented at Thornhill Community Centre by Ontario Hydro earlier this month. By SHAARON HAY Liberal Staff Writer Angry residents from Richmond Hill and Thornhill crowded into Richmond Hill's council chambers Monday to protest Ontario Hydro's proposed towers and facilities. Whether the bylaw will be effective remains to be seen. but council hopes to at least get a bit more information about the proposed towers. Homeowners in the area of the proposed towers in the Yonge Street-Highway 7 area presented a petition with 200 signatures Monday recommending the lines be buried. The petition points out that homeowners on the north side of Longbridge Road were only recently made aware of how close the four lines of towers would be to their homes. Residents jam chambers t0 PrOteSt hYdFO I9W9r§m Eight people were injured in a two-vehicle collision at Highway 400 and Major Mackenzie Drive early Saturday morning. The accident occurred at 6 am. and involved a van driven by Alexander Vadja with five passengers, all of Toronto, and a car driven by Stanley Jacklin of Concord. His wife was his only passenger. A doctor was rushed to the scene from York Central Hospital in Richmond Hill, and on arrival, he requested a nurse be dispatched with medical sup- plies. A surgeon was then sent to the scene, to help in the removal of Alexander Vadja from the wreckage. Vadja was rushed to York Central Hospital, where he later underwent surgery for the removal of a leg. He is in stable condition in the intensive unit. Also injured and taken to York Central were: Frank Mihalic, who was later transferred to Sunnybrook Hospital where he is now in fair condition; Nick Hospital staff reacts after eight hurt in crash Established 1878 emoved TH rest of the league “There’s not much fun or in- centive for other teams when they are obviously outclassed. That’s not the purpose of a house league. The youngsters are just supposed to have fun and it’s up to the association to see they do." He emphasized that “the other two Oak Ridges teams are also unbeaten but the scores indicate that they are relatively on a competitive level with the other clubs. Even at that, we made Richmond Hill Leos received their charter from Lions Inter- national Saturday, June 17 at a dinner at the Richmond Hill Lions Club. She said her conscience would not permit her to support the bylaw because it was a decision of the provincial government and not only would it set a difficult precedent it would turn out to have an exorbitant cost to hydro consumers. “I don’t think it's a waste of these people's money," said Councillor Birchall in. a heated reply to Mrs. Hancey’s statement. Councillor Lois Hancey said that although she had fought the route of the towers since the late 19605, because of the costs in- volved now to the municipality, she would not support the bylaw. Everyone applauded Coun- cillor Andre Chateauvert‘s statement that the only thing that will make any change is “the strength of the people”. Councillor Chateauvert said he didn’t think it would get far unless the residents were willing to take their protest to Queen’s Park and challenge the Treasurer and the Premier of Ontario. The bylaw prohibiting the towers through the area south of Richmond Hill was passed by a seven to two vote, with councillor Wainwright declining also. About the decision to support the bylaw, Councillor Corcoran said both sides of the discussion made sense to him.

We can’t change the rules for one team. It wouldn’t be fair to our other teams." Bestard said it wasn’t until after his club’s 40-8 win that “I was informed of the associaton's policy and it was to late by then. I already had my team."
