Last day to check if your name is on the voters‘ list and to have it added if it's not there. is November 3 at your local town or town- ship clerk's office. 509? MORE VOTERS The number of voters in Markham has jumped .over 50 percent in the past two years. according to totals from the preliminary voters' lists. Ward representation is in even worse balance than it was in the last mu- nicipal election two years ago. along the west side of Woodâ€" bine Avenue tformerly Don Mills Road). Councillor Muldrew was born and educated in Bur- lington. His wife is the for- mer Joyce Linley of Burling ton. They have three daugh- ters: Barbara 20. a second year student in fashion de- ;ign at Ryerson Polytechni- cal Institute: Sharon 17. a grade 12 student at Thornlea Secondary School; and Jo- anne 16, a grade 10 student at Thornlea. LED CITIZEN GROUP Muldrew is a general agent for Merit Insurance and Sovereign Life, having recently been employed in sales at Canadian Westing- house. He served one year as an appointed member of the former Markham Town- ship planning board before his election to the council of the new regional town in 1970. Previous to that he was charter president of the Thornlea Community Asso- ciation, a local citizens group. He was a member of the Junior Chamber of Com- merce in Hamilton, being first vice-president on being transferred to North Bay with Westinghouse. COUNCIL DUTIES During the past two years he served as chairman of the COUNCILLOR MULDREW North Thornhill Candidate In an interview with "The Liberal" to announce his candidacy. Muldrew said he believes the new council of the new regional town start- ed in the right direction dur- ing the past two years to- ward making Thornhill a more viable community to live in. One very important milestone was the start of the town swimming pool due to open January 1 for joint use by students and public at Thornlea Seconda ry School. Markham Council finance committee and was a mem- ber of the personnel com- mittee. He served on _the fire committee, planning com- mittee, swimming pool com- mittee. a r e n a-library-com- munity centre committee and was chairmn of the trans- portation study committee. THORNHILL INTEGRATION “If we could get the land. we would be giving Thornhill what it needs to be a togetherness commun- ity. Next we need the lib- rary. arena and community centre project and then more arenas," says Councillor Mul- drew. He notes the present Vuncil was successful in getting for Thornhill a fire hall and equipment, plus the first permanent fire- fighters when the Markham Jtpartment previously only had volunteers. Early in the new year the new fire hall is scheduled to get the .o_wn‘s first aerial ladder truck. This is mainly to serve the Don Mills indus- trial area but will be an addâ€" ed protection for Thornhill's apartments and institutions. PUBLIC TRANSIT STUD! Muldrew says the public transit study is being com pleted and his committee exâ€" pects to recommend to coun- cil the start of bus services for Thornhill and Old Mark- hamâ€"Unionville. This would be a fixed route service using small buses suited to the collector streets in Thornhill and Old Markham. It would basically give the people of the Thornhill urâ€" banized area a link with 10- cal shopping centre and to the Steeles Avenue and Yonge Street area to catch buses into Metro. He says he hopes the bus services will be in operation very early in the new year. The study was paid for by the town and province and was done by consultants over the past six months. Muldrew says the present council has brought into be- ing an over-all bylaw cover- ing parking and speed lim- its for the whole town. This is particularly important to Ward 2 where as soon as signs are available the speed limit will be 25 mph. a reasonable speed for safe- ty, he says. RAILWAY CROSSING His one main concern for the future. he says, is to see the grade separation com- pleted for the railway line and Bayview Avenue near the Royal Orchard Boule- vard exit. This problem is basically the responsibility of the York Regional Coun~ oil which has promised to widen Bayview. But the reâ€" gion hasn‘t obtained a fed- eral government commit- ment to pay for the railway grade separation. This is a must for the Royal Orchard intersection. says Muldrew, promising to push for it. “Water has been a sore spot to most Thornhill peo- ple in the past three years. It is in the process of being resolved. We expect to be getting lake water in 1973 or 1974. Then we will have the quantity and quality of water required for the Thornhill area. In the mean- time future development in Thornhill has been strictly curtailed because of the lim- ed quantity of water avail- able. NEED LAKE WATER “Thornhill can’t keep liv- ing off well water, it is be- coming too large," says Councillor Muldrew. Twelve windows were smashed, five of them double glass. Six porcelain water fountains were smashed. On 12 small windows the screens were slashed and the frames broken. Two large win- dows screens were slashed. A wash basin was cracked and six shower spray heads were broken. Shingles were torn off the club house counter and paint was spread over the counter top. Paint was also thrown around in various places. The water fountain and plumbing fixtures were torn from change room walls. Administrator White said after the Thanks- giving incident a watchman was put on until 3 am, but two weeks later there was more damage even after he left. Juveniles apparently were still on the loose. Somebody smashed down the door, jamb and all. Facing a nightly cost of $25 for a watchman is prohibitive, said White. The destruction just seemed to be destruc- tion for destruction’s sake, or just vicious amuse- ment. Somebody on Thanksgiving night went around striking the building with what appar- ently was a hammer â€"â€" marking, splitting and breaking the boards in the siding. sions resulting at one point in a split vote in council. He said town staff put a tremendous amount of personal effort and a lot of their own time into the new building preparations. Turning to another sub- ject. Muldrew said, “I hope I‘ve made L'nyself available to every person or group that wanted to contact me. I hope I have helped to get their problems solved with Markham Town I feel I have made myself available and I don't intend to change that. One of the most im- portant jobs on council is to be available to people when needed. “This means open space and lower density zoning. An example is such a thing as our effort at rezoning the Yonge Street end of Royal Orchard Boulevard down from high rise apartments to town houses, including the existing area occupied by town houses and also the adjacent area not yet devel- oped. This will preserve the existing town houses. needed. 7 intersection.

We need more support on council for this type of thinking. We need a council made up of repre- sentatives sympathetic to the problem of preserving Thornhill against the presâ€" sures of development." says Muldrew. “The first time we were turned down by the prov- ince‘s Municipal Board but we took it back again in the proper form and I'm ure it will pass this time. This will keep high rise ipartments to town houses, including the existing area accupied by town houses and also the adjacent area not yet developed. This will preserve the existing town houses. ~ “The first time we were turned down by the prov- ince‘s Muncipal Board but we took it back again in the proper form and I‘m sure it will pass this time. This will keep high rise apartments away from the backyards of single family dwellings on Weeping Wilow Lane.” said Muldrew. PARKS DEVELOPMENT Next the Ward 2 council- lor dealt with the parks question. He said this coun- cil has supported much more park improvement than had previous councils, while a hard and careful look was taken to see how existing parks can be developed. The council used professional consulting firms to provide the best basic planning ideas. Muldrew said a good ex- ample of park development is the Baythorn Avenue Park which is entirely plan- ned as a fiveâ€"year project to have uses in all age groups. The first stage to be basically completed this year is a junior playground. LO‘V DENSITY HOUSING “Pomona Mills Park at the lower end of the river ravine at John Street has been com- pletely planned as a passive park. Toboggan runs are to be finished this year. Skatâ€" ing rinks and small ponds will make it more useful to more people. “I hope this is only the beginning of more creative thinking in the development of parks in Markham in the future," he said. INDOOR SWIMMING The Thornhill municipal indoor swimming pool open- ing January 1 is paid for in cash out of developers’ lot fees and is no tax burden to property owners. It will be a great asset to the area and be the only enclosed pool for year-round use in Mark- ham. It is a full size 25â€" metre Olympic standard pool and will have a program for all age groups as well as serving the school." said Ward 2 Markham Council Muldrew. TURN SPARE ROOMS INTO SPARE CASH BY USING LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS South of Victoria Square, it would swing east around Buttonville Airport and south, entering the proposed Parkway Belt southeast of the Don Mills Road-Highway Most of the right-ofâ€"way from Nanticoke to Puslinch Township has been acquired, but the remaining route hasn’t been finalized, the re- port said. Where it passes through York Region. sev- eral alternative routes have been suggested. In its submission to the Solandt inquiry. hydro listed one of its alternatives as its preferred route, which has since been designated as the middle route. This route crosses King Township south of Pottage- ville and Kettleby. traverses Newmarket near the Mulock Sideroad and follows the proposed Highway 404 align- ment in Whitchurch-Stouffâ€" ville and Markham for about 1012 miles. Brief Supports Parkway Line Locating the proposed 500 KV transmission lines of Ontario Hydro in some other location than the Parkway Belt will mean that York Re- gion will have two such util- ity lines, which is contrary to the longâ€"term objective of the Toronto-Centred Plan, York Regional Council has stated in its brief to the Solandt Commission on the proposed power corridor. The hydro proposal, which is being studied by the So- landt Commission, is for the erection of three transmis- sion lines from their Nan- ticoke generating station to a similar station in Picker- ing on a l40-mile, BIO-foot wide right-ofâ€"way. The lines would be 160 feet high. equal to three 18-storey buildings. There are also two additional 230 KV lines planned. one on each side of the 500 KV lines.

His proposal followed a report of the engineering committee headed by Mayor Anthony Roman of Markham which recommended that no heavy traffic restrictions be imposed on M‘ole Road at present. The report was ap- proved. The committee had been asked by the Town of Richâ€" mond Hill to investigate the heavy traffic on the road from Bathurst Street to Bay- view Avenue, with a View to restricting heavy traffic dur- ing the night hours.

The Parkway Belt, which would run east along the proposed Highway 407, just south of Buttonville and Highway 7. was, according to the T-CR Plan, to be a “multi-purpose service sys- tem which would incorporate many kinds of transporta- tion, pipelines and electrical power lines, water and sewer lines. where applicable, with open space added." The region brief stated that it would confine itself to “observations regarding the environmental issues imâ€" plicit in the construction of the transmission line. and to comments on the proposed route," as it did not have proper qualifications to fully assess the engineering and other technical data of the Hydro report. Council was confident the Solandt Commission had available to it professional advice “on which to base its recommendations in these technical areas As a result, it accepted Hydro‘s proposal for such a line to pass through its jurisdiction. the brief said. It would also “reduce the number of separate swaths cutting through future ur- ban communities." The report said that the Towns of Newmarket, Rich- mond Hill, Vaughan and Whitchurch - Stouffville all supported the middle route. It said that the Township of East Gwillimbury had not declared a position, while Markham wished furâ€" ther discussion and the Township of King had said that it opposed the route through its territory and re- quested Hydro seek an alter- nate route. The brief made the ing recommendations Similar results were found in another survey between 9 pm and 6 am August 30 and 31. Although residents com- plained of excessive speed. noise, exhaust fumes and dust from the trucks, these problems could be reduced by strict enforcement of the regulations governing these items by the regional police, or other authorities having jurisdiction, the report said. “It is not feasible to con- sider limiting the use of this road to heavy traffic during the daylight hours," the re- port concluded. Council agreed to Mayor Lazenby’s resolution. lb. 980 Every effort should be made to place the trans- mission line in the Parkway Belt. as it was planntd to carry differing kinds of transportation and utility lines. Emphasis should be placed on aesthetic factors, such as preserving the existing for- est cover. reducing the vis- ual impact the line will have on the landscape. and selec- tion of appropriate uses on the right-of-way to achieve a proper balance with adjaâ€" cent land uses. a proper balance with adjaâ€" cent land uses.
