At a press conference in Newmarket Monday Assoc- iate Commissioner of Health and Social Services Dr. Ian Kerr announced that there will be a clinic at York Cen- tral Hospital, Vaughan Road, Richmond Hill, and one at the York Regional Health Unit, 22 Prospect Street, Newmarket. 2VD Clinics Open Next Week In Region These clinics will be staffed by doctors and com- munity health nurses. and no one will be refused consul- tation or examination. Hospital boards in the region, said Dr. Kerr, have been concerned about the number of abortions being sought and by the apparent increase in venereal disease. n\mmmnumlunmummununmmummnnmmmmmm (See earlier story on Page 5) llll“11mll“l\\1“l\lllllllllllllnlllllllllllm“lllll\\l“\\\l“llll\lllll PROVINCIAL FINANCING The province is footing the bill for the VD clinics, said Dr. Kerr. and treatment and drugs will be free. The doc- tors will be paid by the Ministry of Health for treatment services. and in order to encourage any per- son who suspects he or she has a venereal disease, no OHIP cards or numbers will be required. At present no one knows how many people in the reg- ion have been or are being treated for venereal dis- eases, Dr. Kerr said, as most people have been going to clinics in Metro, but indica- tions are that there are from 500 to 600 cases among res- idents of York. One reason for having the VD and birth control clinic in the same place and at the same time is to help preserve the anonymity of patients and to save them unnecessary embarrassment. Only the doctor and the nurse will know why they are there. By JIM IRVING Complaints from a parent about his.16 and 18-yearâ€"olds lying in bed until noon, and from various students that they might lose their year. marked a public meeting at Richmond Hill High School last week to discuss the current walkout of secondary school teachers in York. Persons who appear to be 16 or over may be treated without the parents‘ consent, Dr. Kerr said. PRESCRIBE BIRTH CONTROL Asked if parents might not object to the clinics giving information regarding and prescribing birth control methods, Dr. Kerr replied that one-third of the abor- tions performed in regional hospitals are on girls under 18. Doing their best to field the questions from the audience were York County Board of Ed- ucation Trustees Douglas Allen and Warren Bailie, of Rich- mond Hill. and Cliff Morris, 3 member of the Ontario Second- ary School Teachers Federation. Chairman was former Richmond Hill and Regional Councillor. Donald Plaxton. One man, who identified him- self as Rom Thomas, said he demanded that “something be done and something be done HOW. “Why isn‘t the Federation putting some teeth into it and getting this damnable thing over? Why is it leaving the York board alone?" he asketj. He added, “when a child comes in to ask for “the pill" you can be damn sure she is already indulging. We do not condone permissiveness. We are here to prevent un- wanted pregnancies.” By MARGARET LADE If the child is obviously very young, the parents would be contacted, he said. but often parents “know but don't want to know" that their daughters are sexually active and they are happy to have professionals assume the responsibility of coun- selling and protecting the girls. Changing attitudes to sex and morality have put many parents in a difficult posi- tion, said Dr. Kerr. They are not ready to accept a permissive standard. but do not know how to go about communicating their own standards to today's genera- tion of young people. ABORTION NOT THE ANSWER He does not consider ab- ortion a valid form of birth control, Dr. Kerr told the press. “I am in favor of abortion in case of rape. in- cest, danger to the health of the mother, but as a method of contraception I am dead set against it.”_ Parents Show Impatience With York Strike As more and more people accept the morality of .pre- marital sex the danger of contacting venereal disease increases, as does the need for better information on birth control, said Dr. Kerr, and when the health unit approached the Ministry of Health asking for local clin- ics they were given provinc- ial blessing. Health Minister Dr. Richard Potter replied that “it was a great idea" and approved provincial fin- ancing for the VD clinics. The birth control clinics will be financed through OHIP1 He added, however, that if the patient does not know or does not want to give the parents' OHIP number, it is quite likely that the doctor would be prepared to pro- vide the service free. BRING IN “CONTACTS” An advantage of having local clinics, said Dr. Kerr, is that the local health unit will have a better record of the number of cases of ven- ereal disease affecting people in the region. It will also be easier to trace contacts. When a person goes to a clinic he or she will be ask- ed to bring the contact to the clinic. When a baby was born in 1973 in York with congenital syphilis, the first such case in many years. Dr. Kerr said local health offic- ials became really concern- ed. Tracing “contacts” is important. but often very difficult. Viâ€"Xs'ked why people would not go to their family do: There are two separate and distinct prowems on the Meadows Property at Oak Ridges, according to Regio- nal Councillor Gord‘on Rowe â€" one is the threat of flood- ing from the stream Which dlrains Lake Wilcox and the other is the development of a passive park. “The big problem is the drainage and it always has been,” he said, after Councillor William Corcoran read at council's February 18 meeting, a 'let- ter from Metro Conservation to Mrs. Ann Goodin stating that the authority has no money in its bud-get this year to remedy the drainage situation, and the work could ‘not be undertaken until 1975 alt the earliest. Drainage Problem On Oak Ridges Property Mr. Rowe went on to state that the conservation au-nho- tit-y had do_ne an engineering “.14 -â€" study on the drainage when that area was in King Town- ship and the work would have cost $275,000 at that time. He reported that be- cause King had a similar problem in the Sc‘homberg a-rea council had decided that the townships share would have to be paid only by the people in the Oak Ridges area who would be- nefit from the work. “That's the reason it was dropped. There is no way those people could afford to pay that amount of money. Today prices have risen greatly and the people still can't afford it. Other things may have to have priority. I have discussed the possibility of making some correction to the drainage at a minimal cost with our engineering department. The rate of fall between Lake Wilcox and Bahhurst is so mlm‘lmal there has been some doubt ex- pressed tihat even complete channelization of the stream will solve the problem." NEW OUTLET Works Commissioner Ber- nard Toporowski reported that consideration is being given to providing a new outlet for Lake Wilcox to Yonge Street. The proposal has gone to rEhe region and 'ba‘Eed on an engineering study done a month or two ago. 7 7 "A. ‘ .1 Allâ€"n6 “33:. Comm reported fihat on November 29 the Reg‘i‘on of York endorsed a resolu- tion of Richmond Hill Coun- cil to ask «me authority to go ahead with work on the Meadows property. “I under- stood everything had been appmved and we were going to get some action." PASSIVE PARK 'What this council approv- ed was a passive park. It didn‘t give my approval for flood control," stated Regio- nn! Councillor Lois Hancey. who is one of rthe region’s appointees to Metro Conser- vation Authority. “Mr. Paul Flood has preliminary plans dmwn up for a passive type if I said you can go to hell for your taxes? “Enough is enough." Mr. Thomas said. “We‘re fed up to here. We‘re looking for some answers." Speaking to the first part of his question, Mr. Morris said that negotiations had tradition- ally been considered a local concern. People must recog- nize that the teachers had now turned negotiations over to the Federation. Mr. Bailie said he felt very few. if any students, would lose their year because of the stljike. Mr. Allen said the teachers had requested more dollars than the ceilings would allow the board to spend. “We could borrow. but we're opposed to that," Mr. Allen said. “I might join you in withholding my taxes." Speaking to some other ques- tions, Mr. Allen said the sal- ary grid offer made in Nov- ember by the board was com- parable to those made in sur- rounding areas. So far as the pupil-teacher ratio was concerned, it was up to the board to determine the number of teachers it could tor for treatment of vener- eal disease or for advice on family planning, he replied that many. particularly those in their teens, do not want the family doctor to know about their problems. They prefer to deal with strang- ers. He admitted that, for the same reason, some people from York may continue to seek help in Metro. adding, “We will probably be get- ting a lot of people from Metro coming up here." OPEN TO ALL Since the province is foot- ing the bill, place of resi- dence does not matter. If outsiders come to York for treatment they will not be imposing an additional tax burden on local ratepayers. THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Feb. 28, 1974 In cases of abortion, no one doctor makes the decis- ion, Dr. Kerr told the press. Each hospital which per- forms abortions has a spec- ial committee which consid- ers each case individually, and counselling is part of the process. It is not a mat- park and has indicated he wiushes to meet with this council. Council has to re- ceive and approve these plans. Our 50% share of the estimated cost is included in this year’s budget and the project is in the authority's budget. for this yea-r." Mr. C-orcoran‘ also wanted to know when action could be expected on the elimina- tion of duplicate street names in Ward 5. He was toldI by Planning Director Hessie Rimon that the ne- cessary information has been compiled by the planning staff and a bylaw is being prepared. Although Mr. Cor- coran had not asked about the street numbering. Mr. Rihnon reported that work on this is also progressing. DUPLICATE BRIDGE â€" 3 sessions.

NON-ESSENTIAL? Was education considered an essential service? Mr. Morris said he didn’t think so; not in the same way a hospital was, for example. “I iconsider it an essential service," said Mr. Bailie. "Then ask for voluntary ar- bitration and pick up the teachers' resignations," inter- jected Mr. Thomas. Asked a Markhem school teacher: “Why call it a strike? . . . Why do you want to incite people by calling it a strike?" “What do .you it?" replied Mr. a chorus of boos tion.
