Several factors enter into whether the centre will be built, however. They include the provision of a site by Richmond Hill, the avail- ability of funds as confirmed by the regional treasurer. plus the approval of a winter works program for day care centres. At a meeting earlier this fall. the region agreed to a recommendation from the health and social services committee that priority be given to establishment of the centres in area municipali- ties where the land is made available to the regional municipality of York through the area municipality at the latter‘s expense. He suggested service clubs should supply fishing equip- ment to children for organâ€" ized trips along the water- front. The region still has to ob- tain the maximum size centre allowed by the province. He is survived by his wife. Margaret; sons, John of King City and Shane of Waterloo; and daughter.

The 61-year-old man was driving his car when it slammed into the back of a tractor trailer about 7 pm. The injured man was tak- en to York Finch Hospital suffering severe chest wounds and scalp lacera~ tions. The board said Ontario Hydro should be asked to allow more public access to warm water areas around its Hearn, Lakeview and Picker- ing generating plants where shore fishing is best. until the fish piers are built. Mr. Belknap, who led the fight against the widening of Keele Street through King City. resided at 165 Keele Street South and until last year operated his advertising agency out of an office in his home.

The request to council was made November 20 by Sybren Wassenaar. who requested the company. which is locat- ‘ ed at Highways 7 and 400 in Vaughan. ‘, Councillor Sheardown‘s out- ‘ burst was prompted by fellow Councillor Leonard Osin‘s ‘suggâ€"jstion that the township should consider doing some .maintenanco work on the “Centennial” plaques on the 50-acre site. it‘s located on Concession 5. He commented that the plaques Were in a state of disrepair and should be re- furbished. Mr. Osin then went on to suggest it was time that the ‘ township c o n 5 id e r doing ’ something with the land area itself such as turning it into {More Traffic Tie-Up's Foreseen ‘ Last week.

It was Canada’s birthday and King’s Centennial Park. Five years later the park is still a “nonpark” and at least one Councillor Monday night of last week was all for getting rid of it at least for another 100 years. King Township has 50 acres of undevvlopod “park land" to remind it of the heady days of Centennial Year 1967. At least that was the im- pression given by Councillor Murray Shcardown who stat- ed flatly that ”we should dis- pose of the park site alto- gether. It's a nuisance and should never have been pur- chased in the first place." King's Centennial "Park" Bush Five Years After Centennial Threats Of Violence Plague York Region He said he lived two or three miles from the track and could easily hear the noise from it. Councillor David Fraser thought the extra traffic would conflict badly with Mr, Wassenaar said the company was anxious to have racing on “occasional Sun- days.” In response to ques- tioning from council, he said this might be about four times a year. The town bylaw permits the showing of motion pic- tures after 1:30 pm on Sun- days, but does not permit Sunday sports. Councillor Robert Kirk said he thought the noise factor wouid be an “objec- tionable point" in allow- ing the racing cars on Sun- day. Several weeks ago. Vaug- han Mayor Garnet Williams. received a threatening phone call. and two weeks ago the manager of the Schomberg Arena received an anony- mous call warning of a bomb planted there.

Police said also that Mrs. Giuseppe Rocca, King Town- ship. informed them she had received a call threatening the life of her husband. They were unable to description of the man Both threats proved meanâ€" ingless. The caller told him to go outside and when Mr. Rocca did. a man was standing in the driveway.

Councillor Sheardown then came on with his opinion that council should get rid of the land period, Council agreed that it would consider a new bylaw on Sunday sports. but not before it had received more information on the overall effects. as proposed by Mr. Risk. Council also agreed to a request from Dr. Robert Alexander of Richmond Hill. chairman of the Richmond Hill and Thomhill Area Family Services. for a grant of $200. He added that washroom facilities could be installed as well as luncheon areas.

Mayor K e n Mactaggart thought it could also be used as a snowmobile trail but this idea was quickly squelched. Councillor Kirk said he was also concerned with the amount of demolished cars from the raceway. which holds stock car races. that were left behind in the com- munity.

He said that some refur- bishing should be done-on the plaques in the park to commemorate their reasons for being there. “Our people here would use it for two or three times a week and the rest of the time it would be over-run by everyone else." Mayor Mactaggart said that the previous council “had thought it was a good idea at the time. We got a grant for it and we didn't know what else to spend it on at the time”.

Get me to the boxon time. Councillor Risk moved that council approve the $200 grant. His motion, which was carried. was seconded by Councillor Fred Armstrong. Its reappearance was as a result of an objection to the original plans by residents of the area. and a subsequent OMB hearing. The OMB then approved of the plans after authorizing several amendments. Among these were an increase in water meter costs from $60” to $95. to correspond to present subdivision agree- ments. and a change in the entrance to the subdivision, which required the number of trees to be increased from 21 to 30. Council agreed to draw up ‘ a bylaw accepting the new agreement. He said the agency had been asked by the Region to enlarge its services. but after mid-January they would have to close. unless the Region underwrote their budget. Said Councillor Fraser: “They‘re doing yeoman serv- ice. There are all kinds of people who need it." Dr. Alexander said they had received a $5,000 grant this year from York Regional Council. The agency offered a coun- selling service to people of all ages with problems, Alex- ander said. “I feel it's very necessary and we‘re going to go on somehow," he said. Following a submission by William Whitney, architect for the extension to the town works building. it was agreed to accept the recommenda- tion of staff to authorize an increase in expenditures as originally submitted, to $65,- 000. plus the contractor's fee of $3.900.
