JAB Runs Ward 2 Markham A resident of 11 Milmar Court in the Milliken area of Markham Township since 1963. James Philip Jongeneel (Jim) has announced that he will be seeking election as Councillor in Ward 2. Markham Township in the coming election. Mr. Jon- geneel is married and has one daughter. a year and a half old. He holds a bachelor of com- merce degree and since 1951 has held positions in marketing and sales, and appraisal work. Since 1965 he has been an in- vestment counsellor and direc- tor with John C. L. Allen Lim- ited. members of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Mr. Jongeneel descries the marked difference of the voter in municipal elections. “There is no place for apathy in a municipal or any other election in a democracy and I shall strive to generate more voter participation." he states. “It is my belief that my back- ground in industry and real estate will enable me to draw upon experience to benefit the residents in the planning and development of the township. My experience in the financial Community will also be a con- tributing factor in managing the township‘s business affairs,“ he told "ThJLiberal" MES PHILIP JONGENEEL CARRVILLE THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Nov. 14, 1968 The ratepayers were mostly from the Bayview Glen area and mostly members of a 200- strong "committee" formed af- ter a public meeting August 22 dealing with the North-Bayview secondary plan. They arranged a meet-the- candidates session at Bayview Glen Public School November 6. All declared candidates for reeve. deputy-reeve. and Wards I and II council seats turned up. with the exception of Robert Sherwood, who is contesting Ward I. Mr. Rumble is present reeve and Mr. Roman is Ward II councillor. Neither Ward I candidates on view â€" incumbent Allan Sum- ner and newcomer Charles Stewart â€" impressed the group as worthy of support, Ratepayers from Ward I will get together soon to decide whether they want to support any of the declared candidates or whether to promote someone else for the seat, says Larry Nichols. of Laureleaf Road, chairman of the North-Bayview ratepayers’ committee.

Under scrutiny at the meeting were: Stewart Rumble and Robert Sloane, who want the reeveship; S. J. Gadsby and Tony Ro- man who will battle for the deputy-reeveship; Allan Sumner and Charles Stew- art. who contest Ward 1; and James Jongeneel, John Young and Norman Tyn- dall, who contest Ward ~II. They faced a fairly aggressive audience with evident nervous- ness. The ratepayers were. for the most part, people who are discontent with some of the provisions of the Bayview- North plan. or past planning policies in the township. and they were determined to probe for the candidate‘s views on that plan in particular and planning in general. Mkhm Twp. Candidates Under Fire In the five minute address allowed each candidate, the pol- iticians showed themselves con- scious of the mood of the rate- payers by making comments on planning that could onlyhave pleased the audience. This might have accounted fbr the stirring round of ap- plause that all candidates were given. The meeting was chaired by Albert Mallon of Limcombe Drive. It was opened by Larry Nichols. who told the candi- dates there was concern about “the philosophy of planning in the township." CANDIDATES A brief outline follows of the main points made by candi- dates. in the order in which they spoke: Robert Sloane, candidate for reeve: He felt the basic need was for leadership in the township and enunciéited six points in his platform. 0n planningâ€"~the “foremost” point -â€" “We must retain the character of the township while planning for sound residential, commercial. and industrial de- velopment." 0 On business â€"â€" “Markham has an annual budget of more than $4 million, but the town- ship is run like a five and dime store." ‘ * o On recreation â€" “There must be a more realistic ap- proach to the recreation prob- lems of young people.” o On fire protection â€"â€" "Is at a minimum .in many areas. We‘ve paid $100,000 to Vaug- han Township in the last three years, and have received only $25,000 worth of fire services." A ratepayers group from Wards 1 and II in Markham Township lcook an appraising look last week at nine council candidates to decide which of them they would support in the December 2 elections. o On political structure â€" “It‘s time the township was Teenagers It's Great Join Air Cadets Now! 172 Squadron Offers these and many more interesting training projects to young men age 13 to 18.

N CROSS from Wards 1 and II in an appraising look last idates to decide which of i the December 2 elections. restructured for a one-vote system." 0 On an industrial commis- sion â€" "A full-time industrial commission is needed to plan and promote industrial growth.“ Remarked. “the commercial development that has been ap- proved will boost assessment but at a high cost of well-being of the present residents." one-man, criticism of the fire service, said that a report from the fire marshal] indicated that it would cost 5250.000 a year to operate a separate fire service for Markham Township. Pointed out that the $100,000 paid to Vaughan Township for fire ser- vices did not include the cost of capital equipment. or the cost of firemen‘s wages and other facilities. Disclosed that a number of transport companies were inter- ested in serving the township. whereas previously they refused to ome in because of a lack of business. Stewart Rumble, candidate for reeve: Defended the record of his council, describing it as “a rea- sonable and just council" that has consistently kept its eye on the tax bill. “Noted that the tax rate had been reduced to 46 mills in 1966, 44 in 1967 and 41.5 in 1968. Said his council had estabâ€" lished a library board and built a central library in Unionv111e. Announced that if elected he would be “a top contender for a top post -â€" warden of York County." Disclosed that the OMB had been approached on redistribu- tion, and that council had been told the application to increase council membership was made too late. This could only be done at the start of a two-year term, he said. Sai‘d his council approved of a union of the southern six municipalities as well as of a union of police forces and of a union with Markham Village. Tony Roman. candidate for deputy-reeve: “We must endeavor to have full control of planning in our own immediate area" in any system of regional government, which he foresaw as being on the way. » Supported the formulation of a secondary plan for North- Bayview, but said he had “cer- tain reservations" about the plan. Thought the service station proposed in the plan for the north-east corner of Bayview and Steeles was “unnecessary.” Said he is for “orderly and controlled development” of the township. deputy-reeve Asked what other municipal- ity could boast the same de- velopment as Markham in the past two years, or of a reduc- tion in the general tax rate in the past two years, or of the in- crease in property values that has taken place in Markham in the past two years. Commented, “We’re getting development as you're able to pay for it”, and said he did not believe in "development that can destroy present values." Noted that council had turned down “very fast” an application from BA Oil for a service sta- tion at Bayview and Steeles. Expressed himself concerned about the further expansion of Metro Toronto and said he was strongly opposed to “piecemeal” annexation moves by the city. Said, “the position I’m taking is for the amalgama- tion of the Southern Six into one large self-adminis- tering municipality which in time could become a borough and join Metro as ‘ an equal partner.” l Wants development to com- plement the existing commun- ity pattern and not “swallow it up in a mass of high rise apart- ments. town houses and comâ€" mercial facilities.“ Charles Stewart, Ward I candi- date: Proposed that ratepayers. of the Bayviewâ€"John Street area meet with councillors and de- velopers to discuss the proposed commercial centre for that area. Allan Sumner, date: In answer to J. Gadsby, candidate for To Learn Say: Robert Sloanes’ Ward I candi- Said water supply posed a problem. Asked, “Do We keep on drilling, with each well cost- ing $85,000, or do we purchase water from Metro?” Estimated that in the near future the cost of drilling water wells would be up to $105,000 per well. James didate Referred to the Goldenberg report on the future of Metro Government as stating that since the planning of Markham Township has been carried out in an orderly manner there was no need for Metro to take over. Posed the question. "Why pick me?” and replied. “Mainly because the township cannot af- ford somebody who has to learn on the job you need some- body who knows something about town planning." Said he was an investment advisor with J. C. Allen, and had worked in the past in the marketing and real estate plan- ning departments of BA Oil. Had completed courses in real estate appraisal_at the Univers- ity of Toronto. Stated he was instrumental in creating a committee which has been working to get an ex- tension of the Don Valley Park- way to Steeles and possibly to Highway 7. Norman Tyndall, Ward II can- didate: ‘ Said he was keenly interested in the development of youth. “The parks program is a big thing to me." N6ted that he had coached youth sports teams and worked with boys groups. Made pledge. “If elected I will arrange a series of meet- ings with your executive and with the planning director. K. Hidaka, toimake quite sure your interests are protected.” Ended 3 very brief address with the statement: “I have the ability and the feeling I can make this township 3 far better place to live in than anywhere else in Ontario." John Young, Ward II candidate Described council, meetings as being “a cock-fight,” and said "we’ve got to stop the constant argument and work together cohesively.” , (On a pamphlet he issued to those attending the meeting; he stated he had been employed with Bache Inc. as a stock- broker and underwriting \man- ager for the past nine years.) Said he was opposed to the introduction of multiple family Said council needed capable busineSSmen, and that he felt he could bring “some semblance of order to council in a business sense." ager for the past nine years.) Said he was opposed to the introduction of multiple family dwellings in Markham, describ- ing them as “low-cost type hous- ing that does not bring assess- ment.” Disclosed that in the face of a threat of such housing being introduced in his area (he lives on John Street), he had in self- defence bought a farm on 19th Avenue.

N. stand up to Metro" which he said “was sitting over Markham and Vaughan and these areas, practically with a Sledgeham- mer.“ TARNISH IMAGE During the ensuing question time some of the candidates tarnished the image they had created in their short addresses. Mr. Sumner was taken to task for remarks published in “The Liberal” regarding ratepayer reaction to North-Bayview plan Most notable victims of point- ed questioning were formelj Councillor Robert Sloane and Councillor Allan Sumner, both persons with a reputation for outspokenness. The councillor told “The Lib- eral" that he thought the plan “had been blown up out of all proportion by ratepayers who have misunderstood the pur- pose", and said too that “not one practical letter had been received on the plan from the whole area." An angry ratepayer demand- ed an explanation for the re- marks. Mr. Sumner defended himself by pointing out that the plan /was still only a proposal. and by saying that at the public meeting he felt there was “a lot of unjust criticism," with open charges made against the integrity of some members of the planning board. “I resent such charges being made,” he said with feeling. Some hostile questions were directed at Mr. Sloane regard- ing subdivision agreements negotiated by Markham Town- ship Council while he was a member of council. (He was elected a Ward I councillor in 1963, then lost out to Mr. Rum- ble in a bid for the deputy- reeveship in 1964). Mr. Sloane sparked the quesâ€" tions by remarking that on the 1963 council there was custom- arily a 3â€"2 vote in favor of de- velopment matters. with Mr. Rumble (then a councillor) gen- erally in the minority, 'and he and the late Cleary Palmer and Charles Hooper generally in the majority. The fifth council member was Charles Hoover, presently Ward 111 councillor who also opposed residential development. Most of the questions were on the theme of planning and were put to the old council members. The new candidates, evidently itching to show up their rivals, practically begged for questions, but got few. When Mr. Gadsby said he could not answer a question on fires and odors in a garbage land-fill north of the Bayview Golf and Country Club, Mr. Jongeneel leapt instantly to his feet to announce that he was familiar with the problem. Then, an eager Mr. Young, brushing aside the chairman's ruling that answers should be confined to the person asked, “volun- teered” the information that his investigations of the landâ€"till indicated that rodents were being attracted to the fill by workmen‘s garbage containing food scraps. After ithat, the chairman made the candidates stick to his ruling. AURORA:. Aurora has been in- vited to join the Ontario Na- tional Soccer League when it expands from 10 to 20 teams next year. John Delaporta, a member of the executive of the league has discussed the propo- sition with Aurora officials and agreed that if Aurora United accepts the invitation it will play Toronto games in Stanley Park and home games at Fleury Park. the public meeting August 884-1107 [County Education lContinue Senior Pubiic Schools, iTSA I Markham Urges In Brief In a second brief to the In- terim Schools Organization Committee «1500, TSA 1 Mark- ham urges that the county edu- cation board continue the senior public school organization and use its influence to have grants to senior public schools equal- ized with those given to junior to senior public schools ized with those given to high schools. This is one of several recom- mendations made in the brief. which is entitled “Programme.” The board's first brief was on the subject of “School Accom- modation." Several briefs are being pre- sented to ISOC by TSA 1 in response to the committee’s reâ€" quest for boards in the county to make known their recom- mendations on education in their areas. TSA 1 favors senior public schools over junior highs for; “sociological” reasons. It has been shown evident in practice, the brief states. that “the energy and interest of the pre-teens and early teen years can better be directed into more suitable channels if the age-span is limited to that~ of grade seven and eight.“ At the same- time the board recognizes that the present grant structure is more favor- able to junior high schools. An Oral French program started in TSA 1 seven years ago should be continued. and there should be further study towards its improvement, the township board feels. It is the opinion of school staff, the brief notes. that at the grade 7 and 8 level the subject be phased. because many pupils show after two years either a decided facility or lack of facility for a second language with the result that some do not continue with a second language at secondary school. ' The french program was be- gun in grade 7 and 8 and grad- ually extended down to grade A phased French program in grades 7 and 8 would meet the particular needs of both these groups, it is believed. ‘ NEW IDEAS The board is in favor of "aca- demic initiative” being permit- ted principals and states: “This board supports the idea that principals should be encouraged to attempt new ideas and meth- ods within their authority and to recommend other ideas for approval of the administration or school board.” To enable “far-thinking prin- cipals to have proper outlets for their enthusiasm” it recomJ mends a “mechanism” be set up “for discussion, advica and de- cision-making at the right level." Also recommended is the establishment of regional re- source centres and of “regional areas for staff meetings.” The brief remarks that the practice of holding regular principals’ meetings in the TSAl area has provided a means of improving communi- cation, exchanging ideas and has helped in solving problems. As such the meetings have benefitted area students.

IAIN & INSHIAMCIa to recommend regional resource centres that are readily acces- sible to several areas. Other recommendations in the brief are that supervisors and subject co-ordinators be continued to be used and that the relationship between these positions be studied constantly: 0 that pupil and teacher ser- vices provided through the York South Regional Education Committee be continued. but that no extension be made to existing services without the addition of adequate staff: 0 That the county board allow any experiments on the inte- gration of a “family life ‘pro- gram" into schools to be con- tinued until they can be evalu- ated.
