RICHVALE BIBLE CHAPEL 24 Oak Avenue, Richvale SUNDAY, DEC. 3. 1972 9:30 a.m.â€"â€"The Lord‘s Supâ€" To all those who question the value of choc- olate to a community, I would remind that choc- olate is perhaps one of the most grossly under valued foodstuffs in the world today. This is due, to a large extent, to the thinl-y disguised propoganda about tooth decay. The calcium and energy found in chocolates are essen- tial if one is to keep oneself alive and ticking. As to weight watchers, it’s healthy to eat more when winter comes and besides a little indulgence has been known to do wonders for future resolve. So keep these factors in mind when, as of Thursday, students begin selling “World’s Finest” chocolate-covered almonds. Each person will be given six packages ($2.00 each) which he will be expected to sell within one week. The money collected is to go to the students’ council which, (putting it mildly), will be greatly in need of funds if it hopes to meet the costs of organized athletics, groups for dances, the year book and loans to various clubs. It is hoped that this endeavor will be a sue- cess, not only because the council and spirit club have put a lot into its planning and organization, but because we are only allowed a limited number of fund raising activities in one year for what can only be described as a needy cause. 212 Hillsview Drive (below the Dunlap Observatory) 884-5029 Pastor David A.

He had been a resident of Elm Grove Avenue in Oak Ridges for the past 14 years. 35 Years In Saskatchewan Born at Oreston. Devon, England in 1888 he was edu- cated at Dean Boys’ School, Ward 4 candidate Bill Burns was absent due to a family bereavement, while Ward 5 incumbent and can- didate Stewart Bell was also absent. The speeches from the ward candidates followed those of the mayoralty and regional council hopefuls. Candidates spoke in alpha- betical order by wards. WARD ONE SPEAKERS Ward 1 candidate Coun- cillor Andy Chateauvert said he'd accepted the job two years ago and believes he has fulfilled his obligations and deserves re-election. He said the last council hired a plan- ner to assure orderly devel- opment. long range planning and a workable Official Plan: He emphasized his work on‘ planning committee in the‘ re-organized regional town, Rev. Frederick John Gardiner In Ministry For 60 Years Twenty out of the 22 canâ€" didates for council seats in Richmond Hill's six wards were at the Civic Improve- ment Committee‘s all-candi- dates meeting Monday night at Ricnmond Hill High Au- ditorium. Each ward elects one councillor. Approximate- ly 300 citizens attended. A few mentioned the five percent Planning Act sub- division reserve and lot fees. existing sources of funds and land. These have- n't met the need in past years any better than now. HOMES UNFIT There were bitter angry statements from Ward 5 can- didates about social and com- munity neglect \and hard- heartedness toward the el- legedly deprived, exploited people of this Gormley. Lake Wilcox, Oak Ridges area. People there were said to be living in homes unfit for human habitation. Candidates were almost unanimous in their support for elimination of critical water and sewer service shortages and for provision of more parks and recrea- tion. But almost no candi- date mentioned where the money was to come from. It was clear there were plenty of good and capable candidates, especially in Ward 4 where seven are in the running. Chairman for the evening was Savm Hall of 352 Skopit Road, with David an19 of 17 Elizabeth Street North ring- ing the five minute bell on the speakers. REV. F. J. GARDINER “3%:- Following his ordination by i the Saskatchewan Conference ‘in 1923, he served the 'charges of Rockhaven, Cut :Knife. Kipling, Griffin, Pia- pot. Eastend, Rouleau and Young. all in that province. During the hungry thirties. I he insisted that his people be allowed to maintain their lpride. almost all they had left. and distributed the i clothing from the east so that ‘no member of his congrega- ‘tion could identify any gar- ments worn by another mem- l ber. F In 1948 he was called to the Armow Charge, in the iHamilton Conference, where ‘ he served two years. Called Ito the Lynedoch Charge in 1950 he remained until 1958. : when he retired from the ac- :tive ministry and moved to i Oak Ridges. He remained in service to {God and humanity as chap- lain to the Metropolitan 'Home for the Aged (Green 1 Acres) at Newmarket for four ; years. He said the town's chang- ing skyline must be watched and the intrusion of high- rise towers must be controll- ed. He said there was a re- cent incident where a noisy transport industry was al- lOWed where it bothered resi- dents, while the council made no appeal agains tit. Plymstock. Devon, and servâ€" ed a seven year apprentice- ship as a stone cutter. follow- ing in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. The latter built the lighthouse at Plymouth, England. and the former maintained the break- water. He came to Canada in 1913 and was sent the same year to Southey, Saskatchewan. as a student missionary under the Canadian Methodist Church. In the spring of 1914 he was accepted as a candidate for the ministry and completed his two years probation at Southey. He later served two years and eight months in the Canadian Army during World War I Then he attended Re- gina College for three years and Victoria College in To- ronto for three years. He graduated from the latter in 1923. combining the plans for the areas annexed from four for- mer townships into a single town plan. Ivan Mansbridge. Ward 1, said he'd served four years in the ward and a year as deputy-reeve. He called for better water conditions, tell- ing the home owner the costs and letting him decide. He said the town's snow and street cleaning has greatly deteriorated. M a n 5 bridge said more young people now need to be skating. playing hockey and figure skating, but there has been a 40% reduction in the registration for these activities. He said the reduction was because the costs to parents to regi- ster their children has risen astronomically, and a soluâ€" tion to this must be found. For the past seven years Mr. Gardiner has suffered from an illness caused by wounds received'during his military service in World War I. Chateauvert praised the council for hiring a consult- ant engineer to do a water study so it could finally be proven there was a water shortage and not a shortage of watermains. as was long the argument. This finally got the town a new well. Acâ€" complishments were the mu- nicipal maintenance study and the cleaning up of the Ward 1 sewer problem. George said the improve- ment items he supports are: economy in municipal gov- ernment since no more extra grants can be expected for the new region; establish- ment of a sidewalk policy with definite program and money supply, the major streets to get sidewalks where residents want them: a progressive 10-15â€"year pro- gram of storm sewers; money for recreation use of schools: and zoning protection for es- tablished neighborhoods. Surviving to mourn his passing are his wife. the former Gladys Cale, and two daughters. Frances (Mrs. W. Neale) who teaches at the Dr. G. W. Williams Sec- ondary School in Aurora. and Marian of the Richview Library. Eric George. Ward 1 can- didate. said he wants to serve on the works commit- tee because he can make his best contribution there, be- ing a civil engineer. He said he is selfâ€"employed and has the necessary time to offer. Mr. Gardiner was cremated and his ashes were interred in the King City Cemetery in a private interment on Re- membrance Day at 11 am. A memorial service was held at St. Paul's United Church on Sunday afternoon, November 12. with Rev. Robert McElâ€" hrinney of that church. Rev. Robert Smith of Richmond Hill United and Rev. Elmer Leaker of Church House. Toronto, participating. Gerry Crack said he'd de- cided not to make notes for his speech because he felt his platform would be essen- tially the same as many others'. except for slight var- iations. He said it was right for the positions of the can- didates to be similar. because 1311 were for the good of the ‘town. “So you‘ve got to 3choose the best one. I think you should choose me beâ€" ; cause running Richmond Hill is now big business and there has to be more businessmen on council." ‘ Crack said he has experi- ence negotiating both with ‘ government and unions. add- ing that he hadn't heard any- one talk about promoting in- dustry to help pay taxes. Thomas Graham. Ward 4 candidate and resident three years, formerly 14 years in Ward 2, said he has no busi- ness interests. no outside financing of 'his campaign and owes no favors. He said hockey registration fees are only up 18%, while council- lor‘s pay is up 40% to $5,â€" 000, and he would have enougn time to both be councillor and head of minor ‘ hockey. WARD 2 CANDIDATES Graeme Bales. 35, a sales- man for a Maple firm and Richmond Hill life resident. said he wants to do his part to make Richmond Hill a better place for his children to grow up. He said the council must learn from past mistakes to assure water and sewer facilities are adequate in future. Mrs. Carmen Clophan, Ward 2 resident for 15 years where she raised a family, said she has been a York Central Hospital Auxiliary member and vice-chairman and is concerned about end- lessly spiralling tax costs. School facilities are going to waste at the same time as we need more community recreation. Clephan wanted to know why new housing has been allowed without adequate water and sewer facilities. She said the town should “get the horse before the cart" and restrain develop- ment until services are availâ€" able. She called for better policing of Yonge Street. She said to her the most important aspect is the fact that council-resident com- munication has been eroded almost entirely away and must be remedied. She said some of the changes during her 26-year residence here have been good and some have been bad. and she wants to work for the good ones. WARD 3 CANDIDATES R'ay Gemmill said he is a 20-year resident of Ruggles Avenue and is running be cause of a desire to serve. He has worked in recreation, coached baseball and belong- ed to the Kinsmen Club. He said it shouldn't be forgotten Ward 3 is the second largest in 'area and 'has the largest population, including two vil- lages Dollar and Headford. Bales said he is concerned about the policing of Yonge Street and feels the recent part time foot patrol has made things better. He called for construction of sidewalks and better sidewalk mainte- nance to make safe walking comfortable. He called for more senior citizen apart- ments. Council must find a Mrs. Phyllis Hawkes, Ward 2. said it is her third elec- tion try. she having formeer served on parks board and as school trustee A number of ward inter- sections need lighting and repairs, Harding Boulevard and Yonge Street needing it instantly. Recreation facili- ties must be expanded. “If the judiciary were doing the job the police are doing, we wouldn‘t have today's crime problem," he said. way to hold the line on risâ€" ing charges for the use of arenas. He favors ‘a full-time recreation coâ€"ordinator. Charles Stewart, Ward 3, said the family-community way of life is the basis of our society and he has work- ed for this in recreation and community activities over the years. “We need an environment that nurtures the family. Our people should be able to walk the streets and parks free from the Obscenities of unruly ones," he said. Graham said it would be an ideal time to implement the town manager system of municipal government, since Town Clerk Russell Lynett is due to retire next year. He is for an adequate water supply and called for unifiâ€" cation of a town now split three ways. Eric Greer said none of the other Ward 4 candidates were discussing the issues. He said he didn't agree with the past council's record and felt it needed younger men and women. The people's wishes had to be followed, even if all the residents of a street wanted it painted pink. He called for better communication from council to people. with council meet- ings being shown on teleâ€" vision. WARD 4 CANDIDATES Greer said water should be Harry Sayers. Ward 4, pointed to his 18 years pub- lic service to library board, planning board and adjust- ment committee. He is now working in Richmond Hill and available on short notice day or night. He wants im- proved parks and recreation, Dave Stephenson. Ward 4. a 20-year resident business- man with children, said the town is a good place to live and he wants some say in it. He wants to be truly a rep- resentative of the citizenry, keeping a line of communi- cation. obtained from Toronto. The sooner this was done, the better and cheaper it would be. The apartment water rates bylaw should be chang- ed. possibly so all users paid the same charge. The sewage plant must be en- larged. The town must start enforcing its sign bylaw, re- ducing visual pollution, as well as that of air and water. He would give an honest yes or no on each issue. Apartments cropping up in residential areas. and the mixture of residential and industrial property were signs of a weak council. Ir- win called for solution of traffic problems. more parks, improved main street. com- munication. preservation of old area character. better trained and qualified town staff. Sayers called for better transportation, sensible and controlled development. a progreseive sidewalk pro- gram and fire stations in all areas of the town in future. Stephenson called for ac- tion on cleaning the Mill Pond. The flow of traffic through town was a mess, with the blinketyâ€"blank lights synchronized all red, making it a 15 minute trip. An air- man 23 years and modified stock car driver seven years, he said he thought being a councillor would be exciting. Alan Irwin. Ward 4, said the industrial-commercial ra- tio of assessment has gone down in relation to residen- tial. meaning there must either be more taxes or less services. Commercial parks were needed and there was lots of land. Candidate William Cor- coran said he was a Gormley resident for a considerable time with five children and two grandchildren. He said the Gormley-Ward 5 area has more problems than any other area of the town, both local problems and other- wise. The first scheduled Ward 5 speaker Councillor Bell was absent. Corcoran said he offers himself as a businessman candidate with the necessary time for the job' of town councillor. Gareth Felix, Ward 5. said the council of the last two years has completely ignor- ed Gormley, Oak Ridges, Lake Wilcox area. Although the area has its many $100,- 000 homes. it also has some homes unfit for habitation. WARD 5 CANDIDATES Arthur Meeke, Ward 6. said he is concerned to have orderly and controlled growth. He is afraid that with BAIF. development of the ward will become un- manageable. Road and ditch management is now poor, he said. Meeke said traffic safety and recreation need im- provement. Ward 6 has a lot of catching up to do, not having a single sidewalk while having a great many children, he said. Felix said as a founding member of the area‘s Ward 5 ratepayers group, he grew more angry and frustrated. until he decided the way to get something done was through council. “I believe we've been kicked around long enough,“ he said. WARD 6 CANDIDATES Ward 6 first candidate to speak was John Bailey. say- ing he ran for one purpose only and that was because Richvale area representation wasn't adequate. The area fire hall was no longer ac- tive. There was a poor parks situation with only one park. Ono Richvale road was an absolute q u a grm i r e. The school had lost public land in a swap with the big BAIF developers and it was a poor policy to eliminate land be- longing to that school. Bailey said the Richvale area isn't getting what it justly desnrves and he has 10 children to get a good community for. The people need attention and not exploitation. like those paying 24% on mort- gages. David Smith, Ward 5, said there should be government by the people througlrthe elected representative. Ward 5 has a lot of serious prob- lems, like extremely high rural hydro rates. Lou Wainwright, incum- bent councillor. charged nei- ther of his Ward 6 oppon- e-nts has ever appeared in the town council chamber and hadn't shown interest or concern over the years over the things they now complain of. He said there were two sidewalks in Rich- vale, although his opponent interrupted to call them foot- paths. Wainwright said he was four years a councillor. two in Vaughan and now two in Richmond Hill, as well as being six years a school trus- tee. Also he said he was a past master of Masonic lodge. leader in his church and had experience heading up the province's largest credit union. thus being able to do a good job of filling the post he is offering him- self for. Smith said a speeded up improvement program is needed. The citizens of Ward 5 are tired of being the poor cousins of Richmond Hill, he said.
