Above Dr. Helen Robinson Beatty, 85, daughter of the original doctor, and Chef (Photo by David Jackson) Ralph Clemens have just used a branding iron to sear the name into a beam from the original barn which now frames the fireplace in the new building. Brand barn beam at new Kleinburg restaurant By David Jackson A new restaurant in Kleinburg officially opened its doors to the public, October 18. An entirely new facility, the Livery has been built to meet the expanding needs of the Doctor’s House restaurant. Dr. Helen‘ Robinson Beatty, 85, daughter of the original doctor, presided over the official opening by branding the name “LIVERY” into the old barn beam that serves, as a fireplace mantle. About 150 people attended the opening ceremonies and Vaughan daycare study asked The Town of Vaughan has requested the Region of York to examine the need for day care facilities in the Woodbridge area of the municipality. Prompting the request was a staff report Monday of last week which said, “There is an immediate need in the Woodbridge area for a day care centre that could initially accommodate from 10 to 15 children on a daily basis". Financial encouragement for such operations has been implemented by the province. It will pay 100 percent of the approved capital cost incurred in either the conversion of available space to day care purposes for children, or the cost of building new facilities. Previous reimbursement totalled 80 percent. Regional expense The report said operating costs are paid by the region us! Let a Mallet Original OIL PAINTING Adorn Your Walls out of its “regional levy" and “there is no direct charge ‘per ‘se’ against the area municipalities in which the region has established day care facilities". The region’s operating costs are subsidized by the province. The province is en- couraging the more rapid development of day care services so these can be generally available across Ontario. Plans call for the greater use and conversion of existing facilities where suitable space is available. First priorities First priorities are for the establishment and delivery of day care services for handicapped children, for children from lowâ€"income families and for native Indian children.
