Midget Tourney: Final Hockey Blast 0f Season (Continued from Page 1) bility that “we might lose our edge due to inactivity after being beaten out by Barrie in that close series. But we've been working out steadily and we'll have to wait and see. Of course. most of the other clubs will be facing the same handi- cap.” The Legion line-up will be basically the same one that came through for Artemchuk in Drummondville and will include Goalies Gerry Ti- pold and Mike Doyle; De- fencemen Brian Kellett. Dave Berseth. Mike Gall- augher, and Kerry Minor; Forwards Bob Russell, Russ Robinson. Rob Wallingford, Arnold Vanderweyde, Bob McCullough, John Oakley, Steve Hodgins. Rich Hopson, Jeff Miller and Wayne Court. “Our strategy will be an improvisational one," said Artemchuk. “You feel the other team out until a pattern starts to develop and the challenge is adapt to it. Usually you don’t know too much about the other team’s style at the beginning but you learn quickly or you're out of it in tournament play." Artemchuk admits to be- ing “amazed at the way these guys have come along since the start of the season. They've done. it mostly on heart. "I‘ve gotten terrific mile- age out of minor midgets fellows like Doyle, Gall- augher. Minor and Walling- ford. In fact most of them have come up with terrific seasons which, admittedly, surprised me in some cases. "We've done it mainly through hard work and self- discipline and if we can put it all together again we could pull off some surprises." he said. Undoubtedly one of Art- emchuk’s biggest weapons going for him will be a psy- chological one. SOMETHING TO PROVE No one figures his team has got a chance. The purpose of the circus was to raise money to buy uniforms for school teams. provide funds to sponsor a needy child and to help defray costs of the June graduation dance. Each class was given a period of time off to visit the circus in the gymnasium. Parents dropped in at their convenience.

The intermediate students (grades 7 and 8) at MacKillop Public School in Richmond Hill went all-out March 8 when they presented their “Circus McGurkus” for the entertainment and enjoyment of teachers, parents and fellow students. There were Indians and clowns, Mexicans in sombraros and ponchos, Gypsies, a “Fat Man”, “Strong Man”, “Wild Man”, “The Wierdest Bird You Have Ever Seen”, “The Man On The Moon” all on display. You could learn your future for 7(-, enter a side show for 56', enter the Judo and Jui Jitsu concession for 3c, buy home made cookies, candies, pop corn, books, jewellery, games, for pennies, try games of skill and chance and maybe win a prize.

(Photo by Angela‘Norl) Newmarket Trustee Criticizes Local MLA Residents of the area have complained for years about the noise created by the plant which interferes with sleep and increasing business necessitates increased facili- ties either on that location (or elsewhere in the muni- cipality) which would bring a great increase in traffic on Markham Road. Another problem is that part of the Bond ‘Steel prop- erty will be required for whatever grade separation the region proposes 'between MLA Deacon of Markham said on a newscast Wednes- day of las¢ week that some members of the York County Board of Education were ready to resiJgn, according to Cribar. An appeal to the Region of York Planning Committee 'and Council to reconsider re- .jection of Amendment 3 to Richmond Hill's Official Plan, which would have made possible redevelopment of the Bond Steel property and other neighboring prop- erty in the Markham Road- Pugsley-ONR area was ap- proved by council meeting as planning committee Marc'h Newmarket's York Region School Trustee Rev. Craig Cribar said last week Donald Deacon MLA, York Centre made some rather political and also erroneous public statements on the current high school teacher strike. General Concrete has de- cided not to apply for a building permit to close in an overhang on their present building in the Gormley area with concrete blocks and will use tarpaulins instead, Plan- ning Director Hessie Rimon told Richmond Hill Council's planning committee March 6. The concrete block company, a legal use, expressed its willingness to go ahead with the requirements of the site plan agreement it has sign- ed, which requires some landscaping and general cleanup. Newmarket's Cr‘i‘bar told this newspaper ‘he tpok issue with Deavcon because he felt the Markham-Richmond Hillâ€"Vaughan MLA should have been able to back up his statements by revealing the sources of his informa- tion. However, at a previous meeting, it had been sug- gested that additional re- quirements be added to the site 'plan agreement before the building permit would be issued. “They are not pre- pared to extend the site plan agreement any further than they have already signed." Mr. Rimon reported. He suggested the town could issue the building permit with the site plan agreement which has been signed by the applicant. “He should 'be’ able to veri- fy his sources," said C'ribar. The school truste‘e said the school board‘members March 2 decided there was no ques- tion of resigning. There was a vote on that date on a mo- tion in a school board meet- ing and a proposal to resign was soundly dammed. The board decided not to put its affairs in proyincial trustee- Tarpaulins For Plant Addition “I would think the owner and the residents would be better off if the extension were closed in with blocks." stated Chairman David Stephenson, “and recommend that we do that." General Concrete “It would certainly help to deaden any noise." said Mr. Rimon as members of the committee agreed. Richmond Hill Fights For Its Right To Plan (from $2499.00) * Small depreciation * Small maintenance costs , And Many Many More So come on over to Don Valley North Toyota and I ask us about the big ad- évantages of being small. After all, we’ve been building small cars for 40 years, and thinking small has made us big. *Small purchase price "The region's refusal was based primarily on the lack of municipal services," Mr. Rimon told the committee. “This is setting an intoler- able precedem making it pointless to go ahead with planning procedures unless you have serviced land. Nor- mally municipalities do long range planning, then come up with the services. If we do not appeal this decision, the owner will go ahead with the extension of his steel fabricating plant, which has been previously recognized as an undesirable thing." Planning Director Hessie Riumon and Town Solicitor Tom Fraser will make the appeal to 'the region's plan- ning committee. If that body remains adamant in its de- cision then the town will proceed with the appeal to the Municipal Board.

Add Two Captains No Deputy Chief DON VALLEY NORTH TOYOTA Steeles ave. just east of Woodbine/4950722. “I didn'~t get elected. only to resign the first time a problem should arise. There are enough rumors flying around now on this issue. without someone in Mr. Dea- con's position adding to them. ‘So I questioned the Deacon statements at ‘a pub- lic meeting of the school board last nigm," said Trus- tee Cribar. Richmond Hill Fire Chief Robert Kennedy was author- ized to promote two of his men to the rank of captain, rather than appointing a dep- uty chief at this time. at the March 4 council meeting when minutes of the fire and personnel committee were approved. The chief also asked for permission to increase his staff by eight firefighters to commence employment June 1 of this year. Approval of this request was made contin- gent on budget approval by the finance committee. It was reported that 14 ap- plications had been received for the position of deputy chief and that nine of the applicants had been inter- viewed. HOLLAND LANDING: In a policy switch the provincial government has agreed to permit a sewage treatment system of lagoons here which would dump the effluent in- to the Holland River.

The lagoon project is expected to cost about one-third of the esti- mated cost; ‘of a spray-irriga- tion system ‘being planned by regional engineers for the area.
