The last official act of Ward 4 Councillor Charles Stewart was a motion at the November 26 meeting of ‘Richmond Hill Council, which was seconded by Councillor Andy Chateauvert. Recreation Study Asked By Stewart The preamble to his mo-i tion pointed out that the concentration of efforts by the town has been in sup- porting organized activities and that the predominance of this support in the field of recreation favors boys’ ac- tivities. His motion had four points: 0 That council, through the .parks and recreation committee, in conjunction with the arena board and the planning committee, un- dertake the necessary stud,- ies and investigations for the development of recrea- tional facilities that would be available to all segments of the population without necessarily requiring them to become associated with a group; o In accordance with the study, the feasibility of pro- viding artificial outdoor skat- ing facilities at Crosby Park. Town Park, Palmer Park. etc, that could be utilized for some other purposes such as tennis courts during the summer months be in- vestigated; O The feasibility of gen- eral public skating facilities be considered in preference to an arena in the BAIF rec- reational complex; o The feasibility of ac- quiring the use of. by lease or dedication, lands owned by either the City of To- ronto or the University of Toronto for the construction of arena facilities in the south end of town, as conâ€" sidered required by the ar- ena board and other recrea- tional bodies. Mayor William Lazenby explained that he had been in consultation with the Unâ€" iversity of-Toronto earlier in the year about use of their land for park purposes, but had dropped the matter when it was explained to him that any recreational use would require additional lighting which would ad- versely affect the operation of the telescopes in the David Dunlap Observatory and that there would be problems in policing the traffic and ensuring that all cars were out of the grounds before the gates were closed for the night. He indicated that he could not support the last two clauses of the motion and Councillor Stew- art was considering having his proposals voted on clause by clause when Councillor Chateauvert challenged him to put the whole motion to council Councillor~Stewart accepted the challenge and the motion carried. Pay Off Debenture For ‘63 Arena Work Richmond Hill Arena Board paid the last instal- ment on the debenture is- sued in 1963 for renovating the front of the old arena in ‘vhe town park at town coun- cil meeting Monday after- noon. the final payment cheque handed to Mayor William Lazenby by the Arena Board President Bill McVean was for $4,220, In celebration the last page of the debenture bylaw in the amount of $30,000 was burned. Mr. McV'ean also pointed out that the board ‘has made five payments out of revenue on the more substantial de- benture issued for Arena 67, which has another ‘15 years to run. Members of the arena board are. besides Mr. Mcâ€" Vean, Eric Charity, Ken Blyth, Elgin Barrow, Jack H0110well, Director Ed Sack- fi'eld. Bud Jone-s, Councillors Graeme Bales and Lou Wainwright and Mayor Wil- liam Lazenby. The recent Saturday night dance was a smash hit, with over 700 students present. We collected a profit of 8431. Everyone- enjoyed themselves enormously and the music of Cherri as they shook the auditorium with their soul- struck sounding music. ACTIVITIES STARTING Wrestling is starting for the season. Last year the team won the York County champion- ship for their best efforts. Let’s wish them the best of luck this year. Basketball is also starting for the season. Boys and girls inclusive you can all get into the swing of things by your involve- ment in our sports programme. A movie was made last March break, when some of our students went to England. The movie was on television on Sunday morning rec- ently at 9 am, and out of interest I heard a few of the students commenting on the movie, say- ing how very well it was done. RED CROSS BLOOD DONORS Last column I did a section on our annual Red Cross clinic, and I falsely mentioned the wrong name for this year’s chairman of Red Cross. I can with sureness, this week inform you that Ron Evers is this year’s official chair- man. Later on this month, the date for giving blood will be known.

He also said the York Region administration should be re- cognized for making avail- able tlhe necessary financial approval. A canvass pavilion was erected at the site for the ceremony, but proved un- necessary. Previous rains and overnight frost, howâ€" ever made the construction area a sea of mud. Officials and spectators walked planks and struggled through the mud to the tent for hot cof- fee and donuts. Council in e m b e r 5 again walked planks and ventured into the mud to pull a tarpaulin from the «construction Site sign to make the official declaration of the construction start. OPEN WITH PRAYER Thorn‘hill Project Commit- tee and Ceremony Chairman Adams introduced Reverend Dillwyn Evans of Thornhill Presbyterian Church to start proceedings with a prayer. Adams then introduced the local people taking a principle part in the project. as well as the municipal 0f- ficials. He reported the re- grets of Donald Deacon MLA. York Centre and Bar- ney Danson MP, York 'North for being unable to attend on short notice. Then Mayor Roman was asked to speak. Most of the members at town council were there. “What we are seeing here today is the beginning of the culmination of many years of dreams _and lesser years of work. In the past there has been well-justi- fied criticism of the old Township of Markham for the lack of skating facilities in Thornhill. But really the need has always been larger than just for skating fabili- ties.” said Regional Council- lor Adams, COMMUNITY FOCUS “Because ofi the proximity of Metro there has been a need to create a focus. a place to nail down one’s identity in the Thomhill area,” said Adams who is also chairman of the town's planning committee. "I have noticed, in many years of attending hockey rinks, that in Canada some- thing happens at a hockey rink that doesn't appear to happen at other locations. It must be that we, as Cana- dians who spend an entirely disproportionate amount of time and money on hockey, must also find a common cheering ground and chance to develop a common partiâ€" san feeling for our commu- nity. “But we must remember there are cultural needs of other types. And one which I am afraid hasn’t received a high enough priority is li- braries. I know that this magnificent library will help to fulfil those needs and show our increasing aware- ness for their requirements. DAY CARE FACILITIES Deputy Chief William Shim- min of York Regional Police. and Chief of Vaughan Township Police from 1965 until forma- tion of the regional force in 1971, has resigned from the force to take a job as advisor on police services with Ontario Police Commission. Deputy Shimmin, who was in charge of administration with York, was honored recently by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police with a service award in recognition of “exceptional service in the interests of law enforcement.” “Another requirement and Thornhill Community Centre Deputy Shimmin Resigns Force need in our community is without doubt, day care fa- cilities. And whereas this hasn't officially been ap- proved by the‘ Region of York, we are sure that with the present need it will be approved shortly. I would just like to mention briefly that facilities for the special care required for retarded children are coupled with the day care centre. “Another aspect is the community centre. Because of the occasion it should be said that I believe, if it weren’t for the push and thrust of the Thornhill Lions Club, I doubt that we would be building anything more than a rink and library. These are the people in your community who do so many things which we take for granted. PLACE FOR CHILDREN “I believe the community centre portion will fulfil the need of the children for a place to go, a place to sit and have a soft drink. A place to gather for dances, for discus- sion, for crafts and hobbies. A place for the whole com- munity to get fit and keep fit, A place for senior citi- zens to gather to do ‘their thing’, a place to sit and relax, to meet a friend. “Ladies and gentlemen, we firmly believe this complex will be a landmark. a land- mark of which we all can be proud. And in that regard I must especially thank the councillors of my (Thornhill Project) committee. Mrs. In a recent issue we -des-‘ cribed the pre-Christmas festivities at Pioneer Village for interested readers. On request we are listing other attractions in the area for the same period. GIBSON HOUSE At Gibson House behind the Willowdale Post Office on Yonge Street, the Christ- mas accent is truly rural. It Will be open December 7 to 28. This was the home of the man who surveyed much of this area in the early 1800‘s and who had to flee to the U.S.A. after the fail- ure of the Rebelifiin of 1837, spending several years in exile there. Get That Christmas Spirit By Visiting Historic Homes The huge Christmas tree will be laden with trimmings handcrafted by country children, just as the child- ren in the pioneer homes would have done. The kitchen table will be laden with mince pies, pud- dings. turkeys and other homemade delicacies. and the scent of green pine and cedar boughs will enhance the entire house: MACKENZIE HOUSE The simple pleasures of an oldtime Christmas will be on view at Toronto’s histo- ric Mackenzie House. former mid-nineteeth century home of Toronto’s first mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie, leader of the 1837 Rebellion. Decorations will be tradi- tional â€" paper chains, ro- settes, candles and trim- mings on mantles, archways and staircases. In the rear wing there is a bright gallery with glass doors leading into the garâ€" den court. It contains special exhibits, often tracing the history of Markenzie’s life. COLBORNE LODGE The oldtime Christmas spirit will also be in evi- denre at Oolborne Lodge High Park, Toronto, begin- ning November 30. The "Kissing ~ Bough". forerunner of the Christmas tree in Britain, will glow again with candles and gay home-made objects to delight young and old. The aroma of fresh evergreens and crackling wood fires will complete the festive air. It also gives an excellent opportunity to see how our forefathers lived. Fully res- tored to their original style, the bedrooms contain roped beds with straw mattresses. feather ticks and hand-wo- ven coverlets. The study of the fiery little rebel con- tains inkpots, newspapers and books. Rich wallpapers. an ornate parlor stove and a century- old grandfather clock help recapture the warmth and charm of this quaint old Ca- nadian home. There will be a huge Christmas tree laden with gifts and toys to delight the children. It will be decora- ted with miniature tea sets, trains, birds in cages. dolls, chief at Dunnville from 1958 to 1965. In announcing his resignation at a meeting of the Police Com- mission Monday night (Novem- ber 20), Police Chief Bruce Crawford said Deputy Shimm'm had served the area “extremely well," and had offered “incal- culable assistance." Judge William Lyon. chair- man, said the region would be sorry to lose the deputy, but the opportunity was one he couldn’t turn down. He was sure he “would carry it out with distinc- tion." The meeting agreed to accept Deputy Shimmin’s resignation “with regret." Carole Bell. Gary Kay and Roy Muldrew. For without the whole team pulling to- gether. it certainly wouldn’t have been possible to bring this project to fruition. In- deed this project has the complete support of the whole council," said Project and Ceremony Chairman Adams. BIG LIONS EFFORT Lions President Snedker noted that in January of 1972 the Lions made a pro- posal to the town for a com- munity centre containing hockey and library facilities, promising to contribute $250,- 000 if it were built. “It's a tribute to the com- munity that we're here to- day," said Snedker. A bank account and pledge cards for contributions to the Lions project fund are available at all Thornhill banks, he said. MAYOR’S TRIBUTE This prompted Mayor Rom- an to interject a special tribute to the Lions for their tremendous community effort. A representative of each bank was present at the cere- mony to receive a king-sized deposit cheque of $7,500 for each of Thornhill's six bank branches. This brings the Lions initial contribution to $45,000. Architect Allan Jessop told the gathering he's been a Thomhill resident for 18 working years and was thrilled to have the oppor- tunity to work on a project which would be the culmina- candles, beads and other 19th century“ articles. This attractive cottage, the home of John G. Howard, former owner of the magni- ficently scenic High Park which surrounds it, was built in 1836. This home is filled with the Howards' posses- sions, depicting their elegant life-style. The picture gal- lery houses more than 100 original drawings and paint- ings by the original owner. Activities at the Lodge in- clude demonstrations of 19th cetury handicrafts. . FARMERS' MARKET For gourmets. the Kitche- ner Farmers' Market, now in its new location in that city features regularly stalls laden with schnitz (dried apple slices). sausages, koch- kaes und kimmel (cooked cheese with caraway), shoot- ly pie, fresh fowl, squabs, gefillite kalbs brust (veal breast stuffed with pork and green pistachios), a vast va- riety of processed meats, handcrafts, knitted goods and much, much more. This market has been in existence for 104 years and was founded by a single Mennonite pioneer from Pennsylvania. At the end of ' November, the market will assume a Christmas flavor with the farmers’ wives dfsplaying seasonal gifts such as scar- ves, toques, dolls’ cloflhes, knivtted mitts and a great quantity of novelty goods. Plans for the big plant were revealed Wednesday of last week during an Environ- mental Hearing Board pub- lic session 'held at the Picke- ring Nuclear Generating Station. Environment Minist- ry Project Coâ€"ordinator Arthur Patterson told the hearing the plant will be lo- cated between the power plant and Duffin's Creek. just north of the lakeshore Squires Beach residential strip of cottage-type homes. Patterson told the hearing ’"fié 'hma’rke/c has'afiout 300 vendors with a long waiting List. The first stage of the plant is to be in use by 1977. It will be located at the moufch of Duffin's Creek in Picke- ring on the Lake Ontario shore east of Metro. It is open from 6 am on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Construction of the first $32,000,000 stage of a $97,- 000,000 sewage treatment plant to serve the urban area of York Region here, as well the Pickering area, is sche- duled to begin in 1975. Existing sewage treatment plants on local streams will be eliminated. $97,000,000 Treatment Plant Being Started In I975 tion of his professional career so fan Pei-win Construction Com- pany Limited official George Heenan brought the respects of the builders. Rev. Evans then dedicated the site. He said the Thorn- religious communityâ€"Roman Catholic. Jewish, and Protes- tantâ€"joined in the hope for success of this great comâ€" munity project. ‘ FEDERAL GRANT MP Danson addressed a telegram to the ceremony from his Ottawa office and confirmed the federal gov- ernment's contribution to the new Thornhill Community Centre will provide $1,250,- 000 of the financing through the Federal-Provincial Win- ter Capital Works Program. A town spokesman said under this program the municipality hopes to rea- lize from $750,000 to $850,- 000 of the $3,600,00 project cost. The $1,250,000 winter works money is in the form of a low interest loan for up to 20 years.
