Council under fire by residents from page 1 "no provisions for (an) increase on (the) basic lease over the next 10 years, that doesn't make very good business sense. "The township is looking at the potential for the best deal for the community," said King. "I only want what's best for the community." ",..out of order" As the discussion headed toward a close, Reeve Ramsay reminded everyone that the vote was to give the township "the authority to negotiate" with Bagdon. He told the people not to "think there will be an A&W (here) next week." The meeting took a bad turn when former Terrace Bay Councillor Peter Romanuk raised his hand in an effort to speak. Reeve George Ramsay had, at the onset of the meeting, told all present that questions would have to wait until the question period at the end of the meeting. But when Romanuk raised his hand, Ramsay said he would make an exception in this case seeing that it was a former coun- cillor wishing to speak. As Romanuk began his ques- tion, Counc. Jim Ziegler could be heard saying that Romanuk should not be allowed to speak. Romanuk began his question and almost immediately Ramsay began to tell Romanuk that per- haps he should wait until the question period to speak. (The point Romanuk was try- ing to get across was that he couldn't understand why council would hold a vote first and then give people the opportunity to comment during the question period). "You know the question period is no good after the motion has been carried," Romanuk said. The two voices got louder and eventually . Ramsay told Romanuk, "I'm ruling you out of order." The vote by the councillors then took place with Reeve Ramsay and Councillors Ziegler, King and Houston voting yes. Only Counc. Joubert voted no. Public questions . The meeting was finally com- ing to a close, but it was at this time that most of the heated words came out. My Fries owner Joe Marcella took the opportunity to ask Reeve Ramsay, "Do you know how to run a meeting? You said you conduct your meetings according to the rules of Parliament, Marcella said. Marcella scolded Ramsay for discussing a deputation (a topic of discussion) that wasn't on the night's agenda and also for invit- ing former Councillor Romanuk to speak "and then telling him to shut up." Ramsay retorted by saying to Marcella that he should run in the next election and sit in the chair and run council. Heated words were also exchanged between Counc. Ziegler and Marcella. At one point, Ziegler told Marcella, "If you have a question sir, you raise your hand and address the chair." Marcella promptly responded by saying he wasn't talking to the chair and that it was Ziegler that spoke to him in the first place. Perhaps Counc. Houston summed up the evening best when he said he hopes that if he is called a bad guy after this is all over, it won't be for bringing in a bad restaurant. At least if he's called a bad guy, he hopes it will be for bringing in a good restau- rant. Local Boy Scouts learning first aid from page 3 Hopper as victims so the scouts had to actually deal with a major cut (on Barbara) and a major bone fracture (on Betty). The nine scouts took tums tak- ing care of the two ladies as they sat and laid there pretending to be hurt. The makeup used to fake a big cut and a broken leg bone looked so real the scene was actually kind of scary. Some bluish makeup was even applied to Barbara's face to make her look pale and cold. Betty was in better shape but laid there with a ghastly-looking bone sticking out of her leg. The scouts who took turns car- ing for the women were Derek Sitko, Billy Hopper, J.M. Kenny, Adam Moore, Darren Anderson, Stephen Deslauriers, Greg Matys, and Robbie Stuttard. Page 9; News, Wednesday, February 3, 1988.
