Mayor Lazenby said he felt the mayors should a-t- tend at the municipal level, while the regional council- lors should attend at the region's expense. Mayor Joseph Dales of Georgina Township also con- sidered it a municipal mat- ter and not a regional con- cern. “If I want to go, I'll go on a municipal ticket," said Mayor Dales.

Perhaps that's why the public school- children seemed to be the majority in Operation Bed- pan. Many of them seemed to be travelling twice the distance sideways as well as ahead, chasing and catching garter snakes, climbing trees and embankments. Perhaps small children are the only group still escaping the de- bilitating effects of too much food, too much riding, cigarettes and alcohol.

Permission would be sought from Metro for the region to install at its own expense the necessary connections and pumping :devices to receive water from Metro. The committee emphasized that York was facing an em- ergency situation, so far as its water supply was concerned. The alternatives were either to further develop ground water sources independently of the province and Metro. or to make arrangements with Metro to be supplied from its system. “In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity” num'bers' we’d hoped for.” The hospital staff mem- bers who started out with bedpans on their feet made it all the way. But Ray Woodend and John Flint had the b‘edpans worn through by the time they finished. MONEY« COLLECTION “The success of this walk- athon now depends on the prompt collection of pledg- es." says Lawrence. He urges walkers to gather up their money. It should be deposiâ€" ted at the Toronto Dominion Bank, Yonge and Centre Streets, Richmond Hill. “Every-thing went well. I’m sorry we were a little lax in our drinking water supply plant at first and the check points may have been a little far apart,“ says Lawrence. 7 Bui he' is pieased with the effort which fits in with the Canadian Progress Club's motto “It's Great To Be A Canadian". He invites more members to join the club for further such worthwhile community effort by "calling him at 884â€"2121.

John (Photo by Claus Plpck) The report said that, to date emergency water connections in Markham from Metro at Steeles and Woodbine Avenues. and at Dudley and Steeles had been completed with Metro to Dec- ember, 1975. Metro also considered a re- quest for an emergency water supply to Vaughan at Keele Street and Steeles Avenue sub ject to concurrence by North York. However, agreement could not be reached between the two municipalities, because of in- terpretation of the word, em- ergency. At present, Vaughan has enough water to accommodate the normal existing demand in the Keele Street industrial area, but the supply is insufficient to accommodate fire demand or extreme peak demands. The sum of $1.000 Will be budgeted for promotion of the program designed to improve the attractiveness of the town.

Hill Council Seeks Talk With Handleman In presenting the motion which was seconded by Coun- cillor Andy Chateauvert, Re- gional Councillor Lois Hanâ€" cey reported that council had met with representatives of the provincial housing task force in a closed session prior to the council meeting to learn about anticipated poli-, cies, the province's role, the developer's role and the mu- nicipality’s role in providing the Minister's target of 30,000 homes. “The Minister has asked us to respond to his proposal and to indicate Bourque, 29, of 17 Lauren- tide Avenue, Aurora, is still awaiting trial by York County Court judge. In sentencing McLennan, Judge Lyon said he was tak- ing into account the time the man had already spent in jail awaiting trial from November to April. McLennan admitted having marijuana for the purpose of trafficking at Bradford and was sentenced to three months in jail. He admitted having the counterfeit money and got a further consecutive sentence of jail for six months definite and nine months indefinite. He got a further consecutive three- month sentence for posses- sion of a restricted weapon. CHARGES WITHDRAWN The other charges he faced were withdrawn after the guiltypleas were entered on the three charges. Clean Up Paint Up Week Richmond Hill has a reserve water supply capacity for new development in the‘ amount of 0.27 million gallons daily. This reserve has been committed to new development and approx- imately 1.5 mgd more is re- quired to serve committed de- velopment that has draft plan approval, the report said. Water supply in the Union- ville and former Village of Markham areas is becoming éritical during peak demand in the summer months, and it is estimated that an additional 0.75 mgd is required immed- iately. The report added that, if the region were to proceed with the development of further ground water at the locations mentioned, it ,would take up- wards of one year before the supply could be developed and put into production. Councillors want some consideration for their many and so far apparently wastebasketed submissions to the province on recent moves of various provincial authorities and government policies. Councillors feel the province threatens to shred more than half of the town out of existence, leaving the remainder an unrecognizable mish-mash. The local government rep- resentatives feel their town is taking the brunt of a whole series of provincial policies, more than is being felt by any other York Reg- ion or other Metro fringe municipality.

A hearing with Premier William Davis and the Cabinet to see if it is provincial policy to just about wipe out Markham is being sought by the town’s municipal council. , __L:.... “The people who were here this afternoon were unable to give us the answers we need.” reported Councillor Chateauvert. “And this is the only way we are going to get those answers.” An attempt by Councillor David Stephenson to have the matter deferred to a later meeting failed, as did an at- tempt by Hancey-Chateauvert to have the planning director examine and study the land use in the town and make re- commendations as to the fea- sibility of Richmond Hill par- ticipating after the treasurer has studied the matter and made a recommendation as to the housing cost which will insure that no existing resident will be penalized by the municipality participating in the housing program. wJ v--- 'si’ékéfiéd‘,’ disturbed and unhappy council members meeting Tuesday night of, last week agreed unanimously to make a pilgrimage to Queen’s Park.

Mrs. Hancey ad- ded. “The Minister has asked us to have a look to see if any areas can be used in the program and have council de- termine the cost of such housing so that no existing resident will be penalized." HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Commission recommenda- tions. Solandt would put the Hydro Corridor along the: proposed Parkway Belt across Markham instead of on the previously proposed route across farm and for- est land to the north in King Township and Whitchurch- Stouffville Town. Mayor Anthony Roman said the proposed interna- tional airport appears to be at the root of most of the town's major problems. If it hadn't been for the air- port the Hydro Corridor could have gone to the north, and still could if the airport is finally ruled un- necessary. the mayor said. He. didn't want to see the town stuck with a lot of un- desirable things because of the airport, only to have the airport plan abandoned by the federal government. Planning Director William Power was particularly con- cerned about the Langstaff area along Highway 7 from Yonge to Bayview Avenue. He said this strip appears slated to become a night- mare of transmission wires, highways and super-high- ways. “We keep preparing re- ports, sending them to pro- vincial authorities, and noth- ing happens. I think they just file them in wastepaper baskets and go ahead and do what ihey like," complained Unionville Councillor Mrs. Bell.‘ “Do we have to just sit back and take all this crap they are putting in our town. If we can’t scream bloody murder abo'fit what they are doing to our town, what are we for? There isn’t go- ing to be any land left to develop. There won't be any- body left in Markham able to look out a window and see anything but power lines and highways. “Who has the power in this region? We are fools to pussyfoot around with these damned reports. I doubt if anybody with any authority pays any attention," said Mrs. Bell. “It just makes me sick. It’s just a lot of crap. They're cutting the town up into lit- tle unconnected pieces," she said. South Thornhill Ward 1 Councillor Gary Kay of 86 Aberfeldy Crescent, German Mills, took up the theme in support of his fellow first term councillor. He said the first senior government au- thority decision that started it all in Markham was the CN Bypass line. He said this project is really very recent and ruined a great swath through Thornhill. Councillor Kay said the province should be made to realize Markham is a high- ly urbanized area and should be protected from things like the Hydro Corridor which are primarily aimed at solv- ing the problems radiating out of the urban configura- tion south of Steeles Avenue. North Thornhill Ward 2 Councillor Roy Muldrew of 53 Romfield Circuit also called for some sort of ac- tion. He said the Hydro Corridor can go through farm land without destroy- ing very much. “We should have an end to the sacrificing of Mark- ham. I want the findings of the (Solandt) Commission appealed to higher author- ity," said Kay. 7‘Butâ€" they’re taking it through the most valuable land in the municipality and lumumnummul\mlnmm\1mmmm“mummmmmw Thursday this week 15 budget day for Richmond Hill Town Council.

Budget Day Thursday Commission’s recommenda- tion for a northern leg of the power corridor to run east of Buttonville, brushing Victoria Square and then joining the proposed High- way 404 right-of-way along the west side of Don Mills Road (Woodbine Avenue). “It is ridiculous to run the line through the Cachet Country Club (golf course and residential subdivision), There is absolutely no tech- nical reason for it," said the mayor. MAPLE Answering council mem- bers’ request for an avenue of action to the provision on the issues. Mayor Roman said, “If you're going to make a last ditch stand, you’re going to have to go to the Cabinet." Councillor Bell promptly moved the necessary motion and was seconded by Coun- cillor Muldrew. The motion was approved unanimously by all present. The only member absent was Regional Councillor Robert Adams of Ida Street, Thomhill, who had taken a week's holiday in the Caribbean, his first such vacation since election 1% years ago. Markham Council endors- ed a draft of a town sub- mission to have the provinc- ial government opposing the recommendations on the Hydro Corridor made rec- ently by the Solandt Com- mission. The only amend- ments ordered to the draft were to stress the Cachet Country Club problem and some other points more fully. The subEnission includes the following paragraphs: “A submission by the town was made to the Solandt Commission in 1973 prior to the reconsideration of the whole matter by the Com- mission which (reconsidera- tion) led to the BHI Limited Environmental Impact Study. “A fresh submission was made in July 1973 to BHI Limited, environmental con- sultants to the Solandt Com- mission, indicating a prefer- ence by Markham for the modified System “T” route alternative which causes the least intrusion into Mark- ham of all the alternatives under consideration by BHI Limited. “Markham has already in- dicated its objection to the locating of the corridor in Markham. The earlier sub- mission had elaborated, not only on the various adverse impacts of any proposed route through Markham, but more seriously, drew atten- tion to‘ the effect of uncon- scionably constraining Mark- ham's role in the local gov- ernment level of planning by the unilateral decisions of higher levels of government. “These decisions. such as freezing of the lands in con- nection with the Pickering (and Markham) international 6â€"Richmond Hill Council 7:30 pm â€"â€"Vaughan Council 2 pm 7â€"York County Roman Catholic School Board 8 pm 8â€"Richmond Hill Planning Committee 7 pm 9â€"York Region Council 2 pm, Newmarket 10, 11, 12â€"125th Annual Richmond Hill Spring Fair ' 13â€"York County Board of Education 8 pm, Aurora . 14â€"Markham Council 2 pm â€"Richmond Hill Ward 3 Ratepayer Meet- ing, Walter Scott School, 8 pm 20â€"Richmond Hill Council 2:30 pm 21â€"Vaughan Council 2 pm â€"York County Roman Catholic School Board 8 pm 22â€"Richmond Hill Planning Committee 7 pm 23â€"York Region Council, Newmarket 2 pm 27â€"York County Board of Education 8 pm, Aurora 28â€"Markham“ Council 7 :30 pm â€"Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic, Lions Hall Date: To Remember Mont/1 0f May IN LEAF & BUD POTTED ROSES 100's TO CHOOSE FROM 10141 KEELE STREET See Ad on Page 5 PRICE 15¢ PER COPY airport, the proposed North Pickering community, and recently the Parkway Belt â€" have all come down like government fiats. with no ef- fective opportunity being given (the local government) to react meaningfully. It is felt that no useful purpose will be served by reiterat- ing the points in detail which have been made in the earlier submissions and which are included in the appendix to this submission for easy reference." Markham refuses to ac- cept Solandt's conclusion that the Parkway Belt route for the hydro corri- dor has a low environmental impact. The draft submis- sion deals with this as fol- lows: - “The Parkway Belt in Markham is associated with the valley system of the Rouge and Don Rivers. Even with the improved appear- ance towers. the vertical in- trusion of the transmission lines cannot but destroy this natural visual resource so vital at the edge of the ur- banized areas of Thomhill and Markham-Unionville, not to speak of' Metro. "The captive population' in the urbanized areas are otherwise exposed ‘to the various undesirable artifacts of urban landscape. Mark- ham supports the concept of the Parkway Belt as pro- viding an unique opportunity for visual contrast. bringing natural environmental am- enities within reach of the urban population. "It is the town’s submisé sion that the ability to use the linear corridor of the hydro right-of-way, should it be located in the Parkway Belt, is only one aspect of the recreational use of the belt. By far the more im- portant aspect is the visual relief between built up areas and green belt.‘ This would be completely impos- sible with massive towers snrouting from the park set- ting. supporting strands of wires for 'miles at a stretch. “The use of joint linear corridors for utilities and a green belt is workable when the width is sufficient enough so as not to destroy the openness of. the belt. The location of the proposed Highway 407 within the Parkway Belt itself poses a concrete.
