It was repeated in segments ‘of four topics each evening the \following week. Channel 5's Suburban Dilemma Reached Wide Viewing Audience The program covered a wide range of subjects dealing with such matters as, “The Effective- ness Of The County Board of Education”; “Why Does Metro Toronto Want Markham and Vaughan"; “Religion in Subur- bia”: “The Case For Local Sub- urban Talent”: and, “Suburban Police and Fire Protection". This was the most ambitious programming yet undertaken by Richmond Hill Cable TV, and from the favorable comments received from the subscribers and participants alike, it ap- pears to have been a success. that Some Caunty béards you have all received an ad~ d-lmunmmuum\munummu“mun“mumumunu“uummmmmmnmmmumunm‘mumumnumuullnumun“muumuum Mona Robertson. who took part in the discussion on “Sub- urban Job Opportunities", said. in ‘a letter to the company, “it was most intereSting to be a member of your excellent ser- ies.

The bill itself im- posed county school boards on a rigid basis with no con- sultation and no change or reform of the school grant system. which has proved disasterous. In the first year of operation, $48 million ex- tra had to be paid by the Province of Ontario in order to keep the system afloat in the face of tax increases which simply could not be borne by the ratepayers across the province. The adâ€" herence to the rigid county boundaries, rather than the boundaries of the school community, the transference of staff formerly paid by the Department of Education to the county boards. (many of whom received raises in one year of more than $10,000.) gave a tremendous boost to local cost responsibilities which have been reflected in exploding mill rates for edu- catiOn costs. In the second year of operation, there are still many substantial in- creases although it is plain that some county boards HIBB4-4287 Wm.

Richmond Hill Councillor Lois Hancey. who moderated the program on “The Flight of the Suburban Housewife", watched the complete series. “I enjoyed taking part in it. and thought it was great“, com- mented Mrs, Hancey. Many subscribers have either called or written to say they had found “The Suburban Dil- emma" interesting and informa- tive. Many looked forward to watching some of the repeats. “In producing ‘The Suburban Dilemma'. said Stewart Cox- ford. president of Richmond Hill Cable TV. “We not only ob- tained a lot of valuable infor- mation, but learned useful pro- duction techniques concerning such matters as lighting and sound. Well over 100 people outside our own staff participat- ed in this project. and I feel it was a beneficial experience for everyone involved." have brought cost increases under control and have held the line this year. Mr. Coxford also mentioned that the cable company will be providing programming on a daily basis starting sometime in September. “I for one, am impressed that in Western Ontario parâ€" ticularly, the counties should have more and more respon- sibility for local government, education and otherwise. But the imposition of the county school boards was an admin- istrative monstrosity carried out without any of the care that was obviously necessary. It should have been attempt- ed on a one-year experiment in two counties in the prov- ince to see what the effect would be before it was im- posed on all counties: and onde again the financing mechanism was left unchang- ed and has proved to be seri- ously dislocating as far as the whole of municipal gov- ernment and financing is concerned. This whole mat- ter of public finance is one of grave concern in the prov- ince, and at all levels of government. Many of you ‘have respon- sibilities in local councils. school boards, library boards. Anytime monition from the Premier of Ontario asking you to cut costs; and yet of course this is the last thing that is hap- pening at Queen's Park. Our overall costs are up 14.2%. and our expenditures in- creased over last year by al- most $500 million. The gov- ernment is trying to make this more palatable by a ser- ies of advertisements in every daily and weekly in the province which come out on a weekly basis. The most ofiensive aspect of this $400.- 000 program is that it apâ€" pears to be using public money to/ sell the citizens on programs that are substan- tially controversial. They point out the advantages of a county school board sysâ€" tem. and the efficiencies of regional government, clos- sing it all over with an at- tractive picture of a busy factory. a fine school. a clean lake. or a beautiful rural landscape. In connection with this last advertisement, they say. “Shall we make it a park, or pave it?" then go on to praise themselves for their excellent program of pollution abatement and con- servation. The misleading aspect of this costly adver- tising campaign at public ex- pense is that at the same time they, are permitting large stretches of our best undeveloped recreational land to be sold to Americans right out from under us. “Last week we learned that the largest remaining block of resort land on the Cana- dian side of Lake Superior is being sold to Americans. Our Rainy River MLA, Pat- rick Reid, tells us that 75% of the lands around Rainy Lake are now owned by non. residents. Approximately 40,000 of the province‘s 315.â€" 000 cottage properties are US. owned. And this week. the Lands and Forests sold another 60 acres of Crown land to a Michigan resident. "This appears to conflict with the government's mas- sive advertising program to extoll the virtues of their leadership in regional gov- ernment. county school boards. pollution control, and financial responsibility. This is public relations at the tax- payers' expense, and an at- tempt to “sell” these Tory programs to the electorate." l“ll“11llll\lllllllllllllmum“ll\\lll\\ll\\lllllull“!ll1ill“Illl“llllllll\llllllllllllllllhllll\lllllllllllllll“mill\llllllllllllllllll\“llllllll\\l\ll\\\\\\\ll-l (Continued from Page 2) This might be a suitable spot to explain the background to this show. Those taking part were, in fact, working for a term credit by participating. Under the direction of Charles La Pointe, head of the music department, and with the assistance of Jay Handel of the English department the students, between 60 and 70 in number, wrote, produced, staged and choreographed the show. All technical effects such as lighting, projection and sound were handled by students under their head technician, Brian Cosforcl. Mrjfifa’Pelnte offers considerable entertainment value in himself. Wearing immaculate glenij _w_it_h a huge butterfly emblazoned on the back of his jacket, his shaggy hair and beard giving him the appearance of a mod prophet, he conducted with de- ceptive economy of movement. His various groups of musicians produced sounds far removed from the traditional school band, and the solo instrumental- ists were all competent, and in some cases excellent. The first half was by far the better part of the show when I saw it on the second night. I under- stand that even in performance changes were being made as the effect on the audience was observed, and that it was planned to tighten the format of the second half for the final performance. The theme, from which the title was taken, was a butterfly world. Homo sapiens was translated into lepidoptera and diptera, (butterflies, moths and flies to the non-naturalists). Every character ap- peared wearing fantastic wings, and those respons- ible for their design and construction should be con- gratulated for imagination and wit. In the case of Prime Minister Truglow. the arch butterfly, his wings seen from behind formed a huge maple leaf. He was accompanied by the glamorous Barbra Skysand, complete With long black gloves and tur- ban. In this role, Sari Seigel gave a close imperson- ation of the real Barbra. She has a fine, robust voice, but is a lot prettier than the star! Koop Heilbron as Truglow had all the famous mannerisms and facial expressions, but a head of hair which the real PM might well enjoys The scene was the annual mothball game be- tween the Bluebottles and Tigermoths, and the game played out between teams of beâ€"winged players. One hefty mothballer with a fine sense of comedy was Dave Olds. A _ ‘ Play-by-play commentary was by Brian Bev‘ eridge, who gave an amusing display of vocal gym- nastics, and the teeny-bopper who loved a parade was played by Dorothy Whittick. The very confi- dant commentator was Jennifer Leonard, and the fqhiséicated fashion commentator was Maureen Mc- e an . a The humor of the second half was spread a little thin, and the students will doubtless have learned that it is true that brevity is the soul'of wit. It is always better to leave ’em wanting more.

Our Rainy River MLA, Pat- rick Reid. tells us that 75% of the lands around Rainy Lake are now owned by non. residents. Approximately 40,000 of the province‘s 315.â€" 000 cottage properties are US. owned. And this week. the Lands and Forests sold another 60 acres of Crown land to a Michigan resident. (Continued from Page 2) Area 3 has Bayview Glen Park (adjacent to the school, Glencrest (a passive neighborhood park), Stone Farm Parkette, Railside Parkette, Duncan Park, German Mills Community Centre. and un- named neighborhood park. Area 4 has Crosby Park and Community Centre, Toogood Park, Victoria Square Community Centre and Cedar Grove Community Centre and there are several undeveloped areas. The parks are selected and designed to offer something of recreational value for all ages of people. It is felt by Markham Township Council that everv effort should be made by the municipality to find a large area of at least 50 to 75 acres in the northern section to provide space for activities not compatible with those of the neighborhood parks, for such recreational pursuits as skiing, snowmobiling, group picnics and nature groups. Parks Manager Sumner said there has always been considerable vandalism in the parks. It is pretty well understood that 10% of a parks budget will be written off to the costs of vandalism. - “Too many people think a park is a place to dump stuff,” he said. “Too many people think it all right to yank blossoms off flowering shrubs or destroy equipment that has been placed there for the benefit of the people.” The parks have been invaded by other dangers. Recently Markham Council passed a bylaw governing the use of mini-bikes. In the winter snowmobiles cause great damage to parks. This is why it is imparative to create areas for these rougher sports entirely away from the passive and playground areas. Allan Sumner, before he was appointed parks manager served on Markham Township Council for eight years. During this time he noted the great changes in the township with more than a passing interest. He feels council has shown much fore- sight in stepping up services to meet needs of a. rapidly increasing urban population. A big improve~ ment was a better lighting system and a more efficient system of fire protection and garbage dis- posal. The council has tried to keep a fair ratio between industrial and residential assessments. _Ex- Councillor Sumner said that at present there is a rapidly developing industrial area in the Don Mills regiOn and there is a concentrated effort to preserve park and recreational prospects. He’s also satisfield that the financial affairs of the township are in order. ' FROM VILLAGE TRUSTEE T0 COUNCILLOR To become a councillor in his own township seemed a natural step for Allan Sumner. About 18 years ago he became involved in the politics of Thornhill Police Village. When the village was formed in 1930 there were few local improvements and Mr. Sumner thinks that since then the Village trustees have served a very useful purpose. It was apparent at that time that the community was developing and the maintenance of sidewalks and roads became a regular part of trustee work. To these tasks were added maintenance of Thornhill Park and the Thornhill Pond. With the advent of regional government Thorn. hill Police Village will disappear on January 1, 1971. Mr. Sumner was trustee for nine years. During his three to four year stint as chairman the village started to expand and he was one of the first to see that the open spaces Were endangered. In those days he was a familiar figure, seemingly to be everywhere â€" in Thornhill Park, at Thornhill Pond or elsewhere â€" ever busy on village business. He was largely instrumental in getting the Metro Conservation Authority to take the pond under its wing. It was Dr. A. D. Mason, retired dean of the Ontario Dental College and resident of Thorn- bank Road, who raised the money from neighbors and Allan Sumner did the leg work. It is now known as Oakbank Community Pond and is preserved as a wild life sanctuary in spring and summer and a skating area in the winter. -... 1 It’s pain eff in the long run. Certainly enough people use it,” observed Mr. Sumner. ' DEEP ROOTS IN THE COMMUNITY The original Sumner family moved from To- ronto to Thornhill in 1920. Allan lives on Sum- ner Lane with his wife Betty and daughters Jenny and Cathy. Betty is a well known librarian, at one time active in the North York Library and formerly in Thornhill Public Library. At present she stays home and enjoys her family. Cathy graduated from the Guelph School of Nursing and works at York-Finch Hospital. Jenny graduated this year from the University of Toronto and is working with her dad at the North York Community Centre. Usually if you ha after your family, it’s been around for a long with his brother John Thornhill was just a remembers Allan. “In tl the village to be tied up 1 days at a time. No one Llulu huc UIIIVVLUIV‘, v- --_,_, her dad at the North York Community Centre. Usually if you have a street or a lane called after your family, it’s an indication that they have been around for a long while. Allan shares the lane with his brother John Sumner. Thornhill was just a quiet little country village,” remembers Allan. “In the winter it was nothing for the village to be tied up in a snow storm for several days at a time. No one ever worried about it." The main source of transportation in those early days was the Toronto and York Electric Railâ€" way that ran along Yonge Street through the village. There were public weigh scales on the side of the road that neighbors the Thornhill BA station. The local postmaster was also the weighmaster and no one cared if he locked up the post office for 10 or 15 minutes to attend to his duties at the scales. H” 1- “Aunt” Jami, Hmp nff today.” he said. “v Ava“ The local postmaster was also the weighmaster am no one cared if he locked up the post office for 10 or 15 minutes to attend to his duties at the scales. “If the postmaster took time off today," he said, "no doubt the Postmaster General in Ottawa would be flooded with letters of protest from an outraged community.” _ [[AL L-..- 4nbnn Among the newsworthy changes that nave Lane“ place is the advent of apartment buildings. “They were more or less inevitable,” said Mr. Sumner. “The population is transient and ever- changing these days. Many people do not want the upkeep of a home. They want to be able to Jump into the car and go to the cottage or take their trailer to some park for the weekend. They no longer want to stay home and be tied up w1th gard- ening and other household duties.” “It’s a natural condition. Young people and older people find apartment living convenient. They ting out the garbage.” he said. As to which is best in the long run, Mr. Sumâ€" ner thinks it’s prettv much up to the individual. If you want a home, you will try to get it. If you don‘t, you’ll settle for an apartment. People try to get what they want.
