It does not make sense, he said, to build a community hall and have it standing idle day after day. “When you build a building you have to heat it whether it is being used or not, and you have to light it." To see that this does not happen. MacKay said. “We must keep each other in- formed from day to day.” If this is not done it is the public who pay in higher taxes for both education and recreation. The same applies to schools which are ‘m use only during regular school hours. A report brought in and aproved by the board last month seems to provide workable guidelines on com- munity use of schools said MacKay, but it is not enough just to approve a report. The board and the municipalities must have on-going constant communication to make this workable. AVOID DUPLICATION Each, said MacKay, must jealously guard its money and it is not right for the board to use money intended for education to subsidize programs not related to ed- ucation. Mrs. Aimone, who served on the Markham Township Area 1 Board before she was elected to the county board has declared her intention to retire from the board. Mrs. Colbourne has moved to Mount Albert since her re-election two years ago and says she cannot repre- sent the people of Markham when she no longer lives there. She may, however, stand as a candidate for trustee in her own munici- pality - East Gwillimbury. CONTINUITY ESSENTIAL The fourth encumbant from Markham, John Hons- berger, 60 Elgin Street, serv- ed as trustee and chairman of the York Central District High School Board for sev- eral years before his election in 1968 to the county board. Since the county board came into being in 1969 Markham has been well rep- resented by four seasoned trustees. Current incumb- ants are Mrs. Louise Aim- one, Mr. MacKay, and John Honsberger, all of Thornhill, and Mrs. Mema Colbourne who have served for five years on the old Town of Markham Board and is now completing her fourth year as a trustee on the county board. Mr. MacKay, who was a member of the Markham Township Area 1 board for five years and served as chairman of the county board for two years - 1969 and 1970 - admits he had ser- iously considered dropping out this year, but this Would mean that there could be four new, inexperienced trustees representing Mark- ham in the two year term to begin in January. This, he said, would not be fair to the board. There will also be two Roman Catholic representa- tives instead of one. One will represent Roman Cath- olic School supporters in the Richmond Hill - Markham area, and one will be elected to represent the rest of the region. TWO TRUSTEES LEAVING Recent legislation has in- creased membership of the board from 18 to 20. Due to the phenomenal growth in the Markham-Richmond Hill area, the Town of Markham will be represented by five trustees for the twocyear term beginning in January. It now has four. The necessity for main- taining some continuity in administration of the schools in the region is one of the chief reasons John MacKay, 167 John Street, Thomhill, has given in declaring his intention to seek re-election to York County Board of Ed- ucation as a trustee for the Town of Markham. Three School Board Seats Open Markham JOHN MacKAY His wife, Mary, is very ac- tive in the work of the can- cer society. Their daughter, Janet has graduated in arts and science from the Uni- versity of Western Ontario and is now working toward an honors degree in physical education. Their 5011. Ian, is also at Western, working toward a degree in business administration. Both Janet and Ian are graduates of Thornhill Secondary School, and for several years Ian played Junior “A” hockey for Thornhill. MacKay represents York County Board of Education as a director of the Ontario Public School Trustees As- sociation. and has repre- sented the board many times at meetings of town and regional councils. He has also been active on all committees of the board that have in the past four years met with the Ministry of Education on various mat- ters. In the past year the committee was successful in persuading the province to alter the education grant structure to help compensate for losses of revenue that would have put many boards in serious financial difficul- ties. Re-assessment of farm lands reduced the overall assessment value of the reg- ion by more than $30 million. HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR In private life, MacKay is a hospital administrator and is on the session and board of trustees of Thornhill Pres- byterian Church. He is ac- tive in medical group man- agement and has just served a term as president of the Medical Group Management Association, an international association, and is now first vice-president of the Medical Group Management Associa- tion of Canada. Communications with the public are important, said MacKay. “I try to get to the schools as often as I can, to parents' meetings, to get close to the local issues.” Because of this, he said, he feels it is important that as many seasoned trustees as are able attempt to stay with the board, to help new trustees. Mr. MacKay was chairman of the board committee that worked with the Town of Markham to plan a swim- ming pool that will be a part of the new wing of Thom- lea Secondary School in Thomhill and will be shared by the school and by the municipality â€"- the first of its kind in the region. “It will not come easy, we will have to talk together to work it out, there must be constant communication, a lot of patient work." KEEP PUBLIC INFORMED Many facilities could be shared with school board co- operation, said MacKay, and regional and municipal or- ganizations such as library boards and health unit. USE OF SCHOOLS Since its inception, the board has had a standing com- mittee on the use of schools. The objective was to work out a program that would lnake schools available to the public on a year-round basis through co-operation with recreation committees in the various municipalities. To have four, and possibhr five. new trustees from Markham would be too big a change, McKay told “The Liberal". “It is important that there be some continu- ity. It is also important to maintain the good relations that have been established between the board and the municipality.” A good part of this co-opâ€" eration, said MacKay, should be at the political level, it cannot all be done at staff level. All four Markham trustees have been strong represent- atives, active on commit- tees and contributing a great deal to the reconstruction of the education system since the 24 area boards and as- sociations were amalgamated to form a county board, serv- ing on and chairing numer- ous standing and ad hoc committees.
