In an area such as Richmond Hill, so close to Metro Toronto, urban expansion is a con- stant fact of life, but we do not have to submit to un- controlled expansion. “Growth can also bring social complications and re- duce the quality of the school classroom.

By MARY DAWSON “The proposed modular home development on 19th Avenue will not be the only such pro- posal,” warned Charles Peacock, a resident of 19th Avenue in Ward 5, speaking to a group of approximately 85 people in attendance at a Ward 4 ratepayers meeting Monday evening. “I know of two others â€" one of which calls for 800 homes.

I dont l<now the location and I can't find out any details of the other. You could have one in your own backyard if you don’t watch out!” Members of the panel, which ran the gamut of discussion on everything from the value of modular homes, to whether teachers should play a more ac- tive part in the community. were: C of C President Donald Plaxton. lawyer and former regional councillor, chairman; Mrs. Maryln Graham, "political activist," according to Chair- man Plaxton; Douglas Allen. architect and member of York County Board of Education; Mayor William Lazenby; and Geoffrey Jacobs. assistant viceâ€" president of Cadillac Develop- ments.

Leading off was Mr. Allen, who said the town was going to get bigger and nobody was going to be able to stop it. The problem was how to handle it. A town centre was needed .â€" “we have to have a heart." As Richmond Hill grew larger, it needed other small communi- ties within, which would tie in With the total community. Some of the more undesirable aspects, such as highway take- outs, should be formed into one common eating place, so that it wasn‘t a “continuous asphalt strip." GOTTA HAVE HEART The speaker also noted that once dealt with by Richâ€" mond Hill, the application ifor rezoning would have to ,go to the Region and then to the Minister. and this gives the ratepayers more oppor- tunities for increasingly strong protests. “But we Should spike it here, so it won’t go any farther,” said Peacock. director) has time to go into the question in depth," he said.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1973 preserved This was in danger of being drastically changed under the town‘s Official Plan. Mrs. Graham cited Church Street.

If we lose it we lose a lot." said Mrs. Graham. who resides in the old town. of 114,000 predictedâ€"most of the growth would be “cheek by jowl with our town". “I dread the planned chang- es." she said. “If we destroy the town‘s physical roots . . . we become soul-less." DOOMSDAY PLAN She said that by the end of the centuryâ€"with a population The “doomsday plan," as Mrs. Graham referred to the town plan, could convert Yonge Street into a canyon, with row houses and multiple dwellings making up the residential areas. It was up to council to pro- vide other alternatives, so that Richmond Hill could be what its turer, Pat Hobbs of Richmond Hill, pointed out that people who made the carvings lived in the North Pole. “Santa Claus” quickly came to mind. Thousands of classes from kindergar- ten to University visit the McMichael Collection to discover various forms of Canadian art in this rustic country setting.

This was held by non-resi- dents, or “speculators" for the most part, and the next major problem would be pressure from the provincial government on the ‘town to supply building lots to accommodate some of the flow north. Right now, the town had 3,300 applications for dwelling units before it, which would create a population of 11,000 people. Such a development would be planned properly and council was requiring the “"expertise necessary in its planning de- partment to do it Give the developers a chance, was the plea of Mr. Jacobs of Cadillac Developments. FUTURE NIGHTMARE Metro would have five million people by the year 2000. which in,tum would add to growth in A short history of the cit- izens' advisory committee to council and its planning committee was presented by Mrs. John Graham. This group was designed to im- prove communication be- tween council and the citi- zens (a two-way street) with an advisory role. At pres- .ent specifics are being work- ed out by the original com- ‘mittee of three, augmented ‘by volunteers from all sec- tions of the town. She said council agreed the commit- itce would have the same rights as any other group to appear before council and committee meetings. POPULATION EXPLOSION has a petition before coun- cil at the present time, ask- ing the area to ‘ue provided with sewage disposal through the BAIF disposal plant. “They have a problem!” he said Richmond Hill It was the town’s responsi- bility to see that “as wide as possible" housing was available. To attempt to stall now was to stick its head in the sand. If development were slowed now, “your children and mine will find the search for houses a nightmare," Mr. Jacobs said. Real estate operator Harry Sadler, in a question from the floor. wondered where the “poor people" were going to live if Mrs. Graham didn't want them in her part of town. Mrs. Graham said she could see apartment buildings in sight of her place. There were vast areas in Richmond Hill which should have apartments. Also, modular homes should be studied. She said she had always felt strongly about the the historic core, even when she hadn’t lived there. How was the community iden- tity retained when the town acquired a population of 70,000? asked another questioner. “The trustees do not want you to resign! The trustees acknowledge your right to use mass resignation if all else fails. The trustees do not want the negotiators to be pressured by the shortage of time between now and November 30 (the date dead- line for resignations to be effective in the fall terml," Honsberger told the teach- 8P5 TO ACCEPT RESIGNATIONS “To remove this pressure on the negotiators the board, by a unanimous vote, agreed t6 accept resignations from members of District 11 (York), OSSTF at any time By MARGARET LADE In an 11th hour proposal to secondary school teachers, in an attempt to eliminate the prospects of mass teacher resignations to become effective December 31', and to allow more time for nego- tiation, York County Board of Education’s negot- iating committee chairman, Markham Trustee John Honsberger, last week forwarded a new proposal to the teachers following a meeting of the board November 14. New Working Hours Christmas Break For Town Employees -__- Thenboard had a long, concerned discussion about salary negotiations, said Honsberger, and several messages came through clearly. A four-and-a-hlalf day Christmas Holiday will be enjoyed by the office and works employees of the I‘own of Richmond Hill, as the result of a decision of council at its November 12 meeting. The staff ‘won permis'sion to work until noon on De- cember 15, 5 Saturday in lieu of Monday morning, December 24. However, ¢he cashier's counter will be staffed until 12 noon Decem- ber 24 for the convenience of the public. Councillor Lou Wain- wright, chairman of the works committee, emphaâ€" sized that this was a straight trade. that no overtime would be paid and sick leave would nct be influenced. Council also agreed to the operating hours of the town offices being changed to 3:30 to 4:30 (instead of the present 9 to 5) permanently effective January 1, 1974. Mayor William Lazenby said he was looking forward to a recommendation that the of- t‘ice's be staffed one evening a week for. [the convenience of the public, since Rich- mond Hill is a dormitory community and is likely to remain one. “We could try it out on a trial basis with two or three persons on duty.

McKinnon will cease to be a town em- ployee December 7, after five years service here. No Pay Agreement T eachers Aid In Student Activities HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Mayor Lazenby said it was a matter for parks and recreation. With that many people, they would no longer be working a 40-hour week, so the town would need a “very sophisticated" parks man to keep.them active. \ More property would have to be acquired and the town in- tended to “scrounge, buy or steal land for park uses" all it could. He said that eventually road building would ‘become “passe", with the roads committee taking a back seat to health and social services, which would provide the services demanded by the people. Mayor Lazenby is chairman of the health and social services committee for the region. TEACHERS AND TRAILERS To a question about modular housingâ€"pre-fab units put to- gether away from the develop- ment siteâ€"both Mr. Allen and Mr. Jacobs felt they had their limitations, with concrete not necessarily the material for them. Mr, Allen said. however, same as everyone else. One questioner felt the parti- cipation of local school teachers was necessary to keep the com- munity going. The trend now was for teach- ers t0.go home at 4 o'clock. he said. As a result. Richmond Hill had had to drop such things as the Rose Bowl track meet‘ Mr. Allen said it wasn't so much the fault of the teachers' as the board’s. Board policy was on 30 days' notice up to May 31, 1974. “This will allow the bar- gaining teams to negotiate earnestly to agreement or to the smallest possible gap and for you then to assess whether that gap warrants the serious action of resign- ing," he said. The board is convinced. Honsberger said} that teach- ers are as anxious as trus- tees to avoid this step. "We all know the price of taking it is high to the students in terms of their learning, to the teachers in terms of lost salary (and some benefits, for example insurance), to the board and the profession in terms of lost esteem. “We also know that the decision to resign or not to resign hurts most those who féel their professional obli- gations most keenly.” ~ RESIGNATION UNNECESSARY “The purpose of this let- ter is to make sure you un- derstand you do not have tog resign by November 30 to protect your position. The board will accept mass resig- nation later if you feel resig- nations will solve the prob- lems then remaining,” the letter td the teachers contin- ues. “We are under no illus- ions about the difficulty of the bargaining still to be done. No board has ever before taken such deliber‘ate action to assist the process. We hope that you will see this action as the construc- tive‘step it was intended to be.” In its meetings with the board, the local branch of the O n t a ri 0 Secondary School Teachers Federation has held up Peel County as a bargaining wedge, point- ing out the increase offered by Peel Board of Education to the OSSTF of that region are higher than those being offered in York. 1971 AGREEMENT In a two-year agreement approved in September, 1971, the Ybrk County Board and teachers approved a sal- ary grid for category 1 teachers (who have no train- ing beyond bachelor of arts and college of education graduation) ranging from $7,200 in the first years, with yearly increases to a maximum of $12,300 in 11 years, with the salary at the top increasing to $12,500 in the second year of the agreement. Category 2 teachers. who have earned a determined number of additional uni- versity credits. received a starting salary of $7,600 and those with 12 years experi- ence were to 'receive $13.- 100 in 1971 and $13,200 in 1972. More highly qualified cat- egory 3 teachers were to re- ceive $8,400 in their first year of teaching, and work up to $14,800 in 14 years under the agreement for 1971. and 515.000 in 1972. there was a definite place for trailer parks, but they must be spacious and well controlled. Another questioner said he would be reluctant to lose the small-town atmosphere, but the town was vulnerable. How it dealt with changes was council's problem. _ _ . Mr. Plaxton foresaw an iden- tity crisis if the town ever be- came isolated from the rest of the community a la Don Mills or Scarboro. Mayor Lazenby said the "spirit of the people will pre- vail". The small-town atmo- sphere would be retained, with newcomers being treated the same as everyone else. One questioner felt the parti- cipation of local school teachers was necessary to keep the com- munity going. “But Peel's staff is much younger,” said Honsberger in a newsletter to teachers and press dated November 19. “York has 31 percent of its teachers at maximum. while Peel has less than 16 percent. York has less than four percent of its teachers at minimum; Peel has nine l percent.” of teaching, working up' to $15,100 in 13 years and an additional $900 in 1972. $12,629 AVERAGE This agreement brought the average salary of secondâ€" ary school teachers in York to $11,783 in the 1971-72 school year and to $12,629 in the 1972-73 school year. In reply to the teachers' allegation that the teachers of Peel were getting a bet,L ter deal, Honsberger conced- ed the distribution of teach- ers throughout the four cat- egoriesis about the same in the regions, both boards hav- ing about 45 percent in cat- egory 4 and about. 16 percent in category 1 according to 1972â€"73 figures â€" the latest available on a comparative basis. IMPACT ON COST This difference in years of experience has a significant impact on total costs, Hons- berger pointed out. “A dif- ference of just two years in average experience of teach- ers translates into a per pupil cost difference of well over $50." There is a “weighting fac- tor", Hon-sherger admitted, which makes allowance for some of this to be added to the provincial ceiling, but the allowed increase in ceil- ing is only a small fraction of the actual difference in cost. A second impact is that the greater increases in the schedule usually affect the smallest number of people. Boards with a relatively small percentage of their staff at the maximum can more easily accept higher salaries in the top categories and so tend to produce schedules which look more attractive. DIFFERENT PROBLEM “Nobody on this board has ever suggested that a York County teacher with 15 years experience is worth less than a Peel County teacher with 15 years experience." wrote Honsberger. “What has been suggested is that York County has a problem dif- ferent from Peel’s and that both the teachers and trus- tees nee-d to understand the (Continued on page 3) 74 GREMLIN X Regional Council Sets Meeting In Muskoka York Regional Council. probably convinced that its members don‘t, see enough of each other during the week have agreed to get together for a weekend in the Muskokas at the end of the month.

He said the teachers’ jobs were from 9 to 4 and they didn’t have to avail themselves to the rest of the community. Hill realtor Elgin Barrow took exception to Mr. Allen’s re- marks. A person only got out of a community what he put into it, he said. He worked all day and donat- ed many hours to the commun- ity. Didn‘t teachers have the same responsibility? They would get more out life if they contributed more The - "orientation" of the teachers was to the county and not the community, replied Mr. Allen. ll\\\“mull““\Hllllluullll\llllllllmllllm1llll\l\lll\lllll\l\l\ll\l PRICE 15 ail Will New Broom Sweep Clean?
