Earlier this month, a wo- man lost a $1,600 mink at the club, and 'the monrth be- fore. a $3,000 mink was stolen. The latter was later re- covered. Wexf-ord Have Easy Time Downing Richmond Hill By 7-3 The Raiders outshot the Rams 45-22 on the game and that was a good indication of their dominance most of the way with Rams’ goalie Brian Stankiewicz playing well in goal despite the seven scored against him. He was given little protec- tion in the third period and was mainly responsible for keeping the score close through the first two. High-scoring Mike Hart- man scored his 52nd goal of the campaign with the only two other goals going to Benny Pedersen and Rick Febbo. Leading the way for the Raiders were two goal efforts from Hassard, Tim Regan Two quick goals by Bill Hassard within a minute of the final period ended any lingering doubt about the outcome of Tuesday night’s Provincial Junior “A” encounter between Rich- mond Hill and Wexford Raiders. It put Wexford in front by 4-1 and they went on to down the Rams 7-3 and shunt them into sixth place in the league standings and almost douse any hopes they had of finishing as high as fourth place.

The Raiders led 1-0 after the somewhat lackadasical first period on Demarco’s score at 16:29 as they outshot the locals 13-6. They continued to domi- nate in the early stages of the second period before the Rams started to show signs of life in the latter half with Hartman’s goal narrowing the lead to 2-1. Hall had made it 2-0 at 3:34. The game for all intents and purposes was put of reach in that first minute of mlhe third on Hassard’s goals at the 18 and 51 second mark. (Photos by Ron Fawn) (Continued from page 1) comment. But Richmond Hill Mayor William Lazenby moved the question immedi- ately and there was no chance to speak,” says Adams. CLOSURE RULE “Then all heck broke loose. Wright said it must be put. But that rule is a form of closure intended only to pre- vent repetitive debate. Coun- cil deadlocked eight to eight on Lazenby's motion'to put the question. Ch air m a n Wright’s casting vote favored the motion to put," says Ad- ams, recalling that was the moment when he lost his composure and exploded, causing Chairman Wright to call a five minute cooling off recess. When council convened af- ter the recess Wright ruled debate could take place. This gave Adams the chance he wanted to argue the matter. ADAMS’ ARGUMENT His main point was that approval of one application would open up 2,000 acres of irreplaceable forest to devel- opment. That was something he’d argued earlier in com- mittee. And it’s come true. “Lo and behold!.” says Ad- ams, “Ithe nexit week we have another application. (Rich- mond Hill Regional Council- lor from Oak Ridges) Gordon Rowe said there’s 89,000 acres of land in the Oak Ridges moraine and wanted to know if my idea was to preserve it all. But I doubt if there is 10% of the moraine acreage that is still covered with trees. LATER A PARK “Maybe the region will be buying it later. I think the province will subsidize such acouisition up to 75% for forest preservation. We would have to check if this applies in this case. It seems there is one provincial plan which provides 50% financial help, another 75%, "said the Thorn- hill Regional Councillor. When the question of approving the Gormley Sideroad - Bayview Avenue subdivision arose, King Township Mayor Mrs. Margaret Britnell asked for a recorded vote of regional council with all members present. The vote was for approval by 11 to five. Those voting against were Newmarket Mayor Forhan, King Mayor Britnell, Au- rora Mayor Mrs. Evelyn Buck. Newmarket Regional Councillor Ray Twinney and Adams. “It's time for the region to get serious in the right times at the right places,” says Adams, who feels there is a tendency at region right now to leave matters up to local councils too much on matters that have an over-riding wider importance. REGIONAL STAND “With the planning staff we have there at the region we should be prepared to Ruin Oak Ridges Forest overrule local municipal councils, except on purely local issues," says Adams. “This plan went back to Richmond Hill for reconsid- eration once. The region and conservation authorities de- manded more open space. Richmond Hill passed it pre- viously in an even more un- acceptable form. We should have taken a stronger stand at region," he says. The application actually involved 133 acms on the southeast corner of Gormley Sideroad at Bay- view. The former application turned back by region was for 242 acres. Adams based his position on the development on mat- ters raised in reports from the York Regional Planning Department, as raised by various interested authorities. LAND DESCRIPTION The report from Planning Commissioner Murray Pound says the subject lands are part of the Oak Ridges Mor- aine, a prominent and im- portant physiographic feature traversing the centre part of the region from east to west. The lands are steeply rolling and the site is almost com- pletely covered with forest having a mixed variety of tree types, hardwood: busfli with some coniferous planta- tions along Bayview Avenue to a depth varying from 200 feet to 800 back. It forms part of the headwater zone of the Rouge River. A management forester from the Ministry of Natural Resources describes the area as covered with good quality forest in healthy growing condition, containing a vari- ety of species of interesting and attractive trees in a na- tural undisturbed condition. He says it is valuable as a wildlife habitat for birds and for providing essential neces- sary woodland browse and shelter for a large number of deer. ZONE 2 AREA Under the TCR Plan it is on the Zone 1 and 2 line, but by reason of the rural nature of the area it is considered policies for’ Zone 2 are ap- plicable, the planners felt. They say the area should be retained to a maximum de- gree in recreational, agricul- tural and other open space uses. ' Adams particularly points to the final paragraph of the provincial management foâ€" rester’s report, which are as follows: Regional interim plan- ning policy says where applications like this one arise for residential develâ€" opment in the rural area “it shall be discouraged except in areas of rolling topography, adjacent to established woodland areas and areas of scenic qual- ity,” says the report to region planning committee. ONEY CREEKoBURLINGTO “Effect of . . . residential development in the forest would be (from) damaging to destructive. Even very scat- tered housing through the forest would destroy its na- tural wild character. Building of roads, lanes, houses, lawns, gardens, swimming pools, etc. with all the clearing required, would eventually change the whole character of the area from natural wild forest to a tread residential area. FORESTER’S SUMMARY “This is one of the few large blocks of good quality undisturbed forest in the area. It would be essentially lost if used for residential purposes. It is important to keep some large forest areas for forest cover. wildlife hab- itat, water preservation, rec- reation, aesthetics and even- tually some production of forest products. “There are many partially wooded or open areas avail- able for residential use. By additional planting in these, a similar treed residential area would eventually be created, without the loss of a natural forest. It would be preferable to use adjacent partially wooded or open lands for residential develop- ment and retain the forest for eventual use by many people rather than a fortun- ate few," said the forester's report. NEW’MARKET: Almost $11,- 000 in town grants to minor hockey, soccer and ball leagues may be dropped this year by the parks and recre- ation committee, since it cannot afford to expand the grants to include other groups. Minor hockey has been getting $7,000, minor ball $2,500 and minor soccer $1,400.
