      Camera confrontation: Brockville Mayor Stephan Clark, 22, the country's youngest mayor, meets the media at city hall before presiding over his first session of council. The unemployed would-be cartoonist won the post in a surprise victory. Promising to be a full-time mayor, Clark plans to emphasize job creation. Promoting tourism may be one way, he says.

      Ready for fight: Tom Chandler, vice-president of Redpath Sugar on Queen's Quay, says he's opposed to extensive housing plans for the city's waterfront between Leslie and Yonge Sts., which industry spokesmen say could put many employees out of work. We're prepared to fight to the limit, tooth and nail, all the way to the Ontario Municipal Board and the courts, he says.

      He wants money: Dr. Mario Piacenza of the southern Italian town of Altomonte is in Toronto lookin for funds to build a school for peasant children. He's hoping to get it from the parents of the children he's leading here - natives of Alomonte who left their home town for North America. So far, he's visited 7 cities on a 3-month North American tour but has raised only $2,000 of the $20,000 he needs. He's had a picnic with Altomonteans here and plans another one.
