2 â€" THE LIBERAL, Wednesday. Mar. 5, 1975 This had been emphasized by York Planning Com- missioner Murray Pound. who said the region “have a housing policy that meets the needs" of its citizens both present and future. The best way to meet this need was to complete the regional official plan. the minister said. However. the lack of such a plan was no reason to delay those areas already committed for growth. Irvine accepts invitations Expansion of the Aurora and Markham sewage treatment plants should be completed in late 1975. while Newmarket's “should be ready by the fall of 1976“. Interim connections would provide capacity for about 16.000 units within 15 to 18 months. with treatment plant expansions increasing capacity \for thousands more. ‘ “Within three to four months. therefore. the region and area municipalities must commit where this growth is to be permitted and ensure ap- propriate action is taken." Irvine said. (Continued from Page 1) Provincial help To assist growth. the ministry. through OHAP. was prepared to: accept responsibility for paying an increase of taxes resulting from OHAP projects: provide interest-free loans for major costs of facilities incurred by the region; provide grants for necessary housing. planning and engineering studies. The ministry was already prepared to honor a request from Markham for the latter. At present. the ministry had committed $31.5 million. to be paid over a seven-year period at $4.5 million per year. to speed up the Central York-Durham servicing scheme. Irvine said. The ministry had also entered into a developer agreement “to ensure ac- celerated. well-designed. moderately-priced housing production" in the )lilliken Mills area. Irvine said the ministry was anxious to assist other municipalities. such as Richmond Hill and There were no special uniforms for the competition. Footwear varied from sneakers to snowmobile boots to high heels. n n.6,, , All rthe contestants sat, usually squirming nervously and hunched forward. In the team category" Thornlea's team A had the highest number of points but in order to win a trophy they will have to fight to maintain their lead at the next match April 24 at Huron Heights and a later match at Langstaff. What were all 150 of them doing? Well. it was York County‘s first Math League competition, held Thursday at Thornlea Secondary School. “Standard equipment was a shar pened lead pen‘c‘il. H ... .-_r The students from grades 9 10 and 11 were given a list of questions in algebra and geometry and a time limit for each question. "Teams of five girls and boys from each of York's 14 secondary schools competed for individual and team honors. At the end of the day. the high in- dividual point title was shared by four students â€"- Mike Zurowski and Simon lves of Thornlea.

The ministry had made a deliberate effort to provide financing and technical assistance for housing studies. which municipalities might also use to slow down develop- ment. Irvine said. Support sought “To push ahead. we need the complete support of this council for the Ontario Housing Action Program". Irvine said. He urged council to accept the government‘s complete co- operation in the matter, and reply in kind. Most outspoken against the minister‘s proposals was Aurora Mayor Evelyn Buck. who said most of the Aurora council had been elected on the idea “explosive growth was not good". and it must be controlled. “There‘s no way we can take a portion of 15.000 units". the town‘s plan called for 4 percent growth. “If you want to change it \0U 11 have to take it out of our hands. Mrs. Buck said. She said Aurora had many developers capable of building moderately-priced homes “without the help of the government". The government wasn‘t “doing any favors" with its proposals for housing units of 349.500. .\'ot Aurora growth The government wasn‘t asking the official plan _be changed. only modernized. the minister said. Also. Aurora wasn't ac- cepting growth if limiting it to 4 percent. This later brought a rebuttal from Mayor David Schiller of Richmond Hill. It was consistent with the Toronto Centre-Region Plan and was also double the national average birth rate. he said. With a 4 percent growth rate. they could "remain municipalities". Schiller said. It would destroy the latter to open the southern part up to accommodate another 16 000 people he said. In me reply That “asnt what he was saying. Irvine replied. The [AC 4Y6. Ontario By dividing their age in days by the length of each cycle. students found out how far they had progressed into the cycle on the day of the test. He explained the theory of biorhyth- ms, which postulates that we all have fluctuating levels of physical, emotional and intellectual well-being: With Fraser's help, students plotted the curves of their various cycles. An emotional cycle lasts 28 days. After seven days you have built up to an emotionally high level but then begin falling off until, after 21 days. you are at your lowest level emotionally. The intellectual curve is supposedly 31 days long, while the physical curve is 23 days long. Under the theory developed in the 1900s. each cycle begins a day after you are born :and begins again when you are 5512 years old. ’ Other teachers involved in the competition will probably gain as much as their students, she feels. The Math League, which has been approved by the York County Board of Education. was the brain child of 'I'homlea teacher Shan Pinkerton. She organized a similar trial com- petition two years ago at Huron Heights Secondary: She said, as results started coming in Thursday, she was slightly uneasy that the host Thornlea teams were winning. But she did not draw up the questions herself and everyone saw them for the first time Thursday. The idea of students taking time off school to compete in an academic subject is unusual. she pointed out. They will see what their students have missed and they may find teaching easier as the students in the competition take back to the classroom some enthusiasm for im- proving their skills. off “They get time off for sports but when it comes to using their heads . she said, letting her sentence trail 16.000 would be for the whole region. Schiller said Richmond Hill at present had 900 apartment units waiting to be built. Services were available. but the private sector was “awaiting financing at the most at- tractive rate“. Irvine said he planned talks to see why financial institutions dropped out of housing. “I want answers to what commitments they‘ll give us“. he said. Favors growth Speaking in favor of OHAP. Councillor Gordon Rowe of Richmond Hill said he “voted for growth everytime it came up and still got elected". so there must be others wanting it. [00. All was not “negative". Irvine said. For a long time he had worked to get a ”large agreement in Peel“. and recently completed one for 15.000 in Brampton, 5.000 every three years. “It means a lot". he said. "It means Brampton is accepting its fair share“. Enforcing taxi bylaw difficult in Hill The meeting ended on that note. with the only extra commitments. Irvine's agreements to appear before Richmond Hill. Vaughan and possibly Aurora councils in the near future to further discuss the government‘s housing proposals. The only major difficulty encountered by Richmond Hill‘s Licensing Officer Mrs. Bernice Piercey in 1974 was enforcement of the taxi cab bylaw. she said in her report received at the March 3 council meeting. Mrs. Piercey emphasized the necessity of setting up one taxi licensing com- mission for the Tovms of Markham.
