Kay and Jack Former Vaughan area ratepayers disappointed A number of ratepayers in attendance at the May 5 meeting of Richmond Hill Council were there to hear discussion on council’s planning committee’s decision on Vaughan Bylaw 2523 Clause 5 (26). But they were disap- pointed. After a break at ap- proximately 9 o'clock Mayor David Schiller pointed out it had been requested the matter not be considered by council until the first meeting in June. The relause under con- sideration, which affects several subdivisions in the areas of Richmond Hill which were formerly in the Township of Vaughan, states there shall be only one residence on each sub- division lot. The effect of this provision is that even if a division of the land were to be approved by the committee of ad- justment (in the past) or by the land severance com- mittee. the town could not issue a building permit for the severed lot, even though it met all other requirements. Staff recommendation to planning committee was that no change be made in the bylaw clause and that the application of J. Guio be approved due to the fact he' was granted a severance by the committee of ad- justment, spent a con- siderable sum of money and the new site conformed to the zoning in the area. Speaking for the West Scott Homeowners Association , Stephan Zukotynski reported the association supported these recommendations but requested that in the case of approval of the Guio ap- plication it be noted ap- proval would not set a precedent. Forthcoming Marriages Births CM“ clwu C2W46 clw“ c1w46 €1w46 Last week’s forecast by York Regional Chairman Garfield Wright and Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor Gordon Ratcliffe that it is only a matter of time until municipal govern- ments are eliminated in the Region of York, finds little support in the four municipalities in our area. Richmond Hill Mayor David Schiller said “It’s a very, very foolish idea. There are areas now where too much power has been given to council." Under the legislation which set up the Region of York, nine municipalities were also created, each with its own mayor who is also a member of the regional council, and a council. The municipalities with the largest populations also have additional represen- tation on regional govern- ment â€" Markham and Rich- mond Hill have two regional councillors, - Vaughan, Newmarket and Georgina have one each, who are also members of the municipal council. Social services and day care also have become regional responsibilities and, spurred by larger provincial grants, the region has assumed an additional 200 miles of roads. Budget multiplying This has caused a great increase in the cost of regional government over the costs of the county council it succeeded. Chief amongst these was the establishment of a regional police force amalgamating 14 police departments. The region was also charged with provision of water and sewage disposal systems with the municipalities remaining responsible for the internal distribution and collection. Regional powers Also under this legislation, certain areas of jurisdiction, which formerly belonged to the municipalities, were turned over to the region. Little support here for regional takeover The belief locally is that the regional government has too much power, is inef- ficient and is too far distant from the people it is sup- posed to serve. In 1970 York County Council had a budget of $5 million. This year‘s regional budget is expected to be about $36 million. King Township Mayor Margaret Britnell expressed this feeling when she said, “It‘s too expensive, remote and removed.” Unequal voting One area for citicism is the fact no adjustment has been made in the representation of municipalities on regional council as population has grown, even a formula for Therefore, the Words “that no precedent is intended by the committee" were added to that recommendation before it was approved unanimously by the five- member committee. John Plitz appeared before the committee pointing out his principals also had a severance ap- proved by the committee of adjustment and had spent A somewhat similar case is that of the Jacobsen Construction Limited ap- plication for a severance of land on Naughton Drive. Public invitations for police week As a result. both York Regional Police and District 11 of Ontario Provincial Police are holding open houses. Sunday, May 11, wasn‘t only Mother‘s Day this year. It was also the start of Police Week throughout North America. At the York headquarters at 240 Prospect Street in Newmarket, Chief Bruce Crawford issued an in- vitation to all citizens to visit the building for conducted tours between 7:30 pm. and 9:30 p.m., May 12 to 15, in- clusive. Vacant buildings were among fire victims in the area last week. In Richmond Hill. an unoccupied house on 16th Avenue, east of Bayview Avenue. was levelled by fire about 12:30 am May 8. Fires in unoccupied house, barns The fire is under in vestigation. In Markham, children are believed to have been behind the burning of an empty barn at Highways 7 and 48 about 6 p.m. May 11. By Mary Dawson the regional Chéirman Wright has said regional government 15 definitely working: A such representation was set out in the bill which brOugm the Region of York imn being in January, 1971. This is an opinion not shared by many politicians of the area, the consensus being “We‘ve got it and we have to make it work", since there is no alternative. Planning work The region‘s planning department is now working YRP arrest 5 in drug checks The CIB drug unit of York Regional Police had its hands full last week with youthful drug offenders. The unit made several check-ups, confiscating numerous drugs in the process, with the biggest haul coming in Markham. Police checked out a student at Markham District High School after hearing from several concerned parents that a student was peddling drugs at the school. In a search of the student’s locker and his home, police turned up 12 “hits” of LSD, 10 grams of a white powder believed to be PCP, a meat preservative given to cattle to calm them just before being slaughtered, and a quantity of marijuana cigarettes. VFacing charges of possession of LSD and PCP Truck driver innocent after failing YRP breathalyser test A 52-year-old Weston truck driver â€" who admitted to having “plenty” to drink, who registered a reading of 230 milligrams per 1,000 on a breathalyser scale when the minimum reading for a conviction of impairment is .80, and whose lawyer readily admitted to his client's state of drunkeness â€" won a dismissal last week in Richmond Hill Provincial Court on a charge of having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired. The dismissal was granted by Judge Russell Pearse, who ruled that in the case of John Allan, the accused, had established beyond a reasonable doubt that sleep had been the thing upâ€" permost in his mind when he considerable money on improving drainage con- ditions in the area as well as the lots themselves. However, in this case, it was noted that neither of the severed Jacobsen lots would conform to other requirements of the zoning in the area. Another application for a land severance on the Gamble Sideroad, where the lots are three-acre parcels, was defended by John Ashton, but opposed by other resident property owners of that area. At the Oak Ridges detach- ment of the OPP, open house was to be held from 9 am. to 9 p.m., May 11 to 17. Displays will be set up and an officer will be on hand to explain the work and ac- company the people through the building. Area school children will be touring during the day and are submitting posters on the theme: Police Protect People. Detachment Commander, Staffâ€"Sergeant J.R. Lewis, said the public is welcome in groups or as individuals. Ribbons will be awarded for the four best posters. Damage to the barn, which is owned by Markham and East York Agricultural Society was $10,000. Anoiher barn fire resulted in the death of two Shetland ponies The fire broke out in a barn owned by a Toronto firm at Concession 7.

MacRae also faces charges of possession of marijuana and hashish oil for purposes of trafficking. climbed into his car after a night of drinking, about 12:30 am, October, 1974, and passed out on the front seat with the motor running. Prior to the judge’s decision, defense counsel Sam Darragh of Toronto had presented synopses of two cases contained in Volume 6, Ontario Reports, second edition, April 21, 1975. The two, cases, which had been before the appeal courts, ended in acquittals. In the first one, Regina versus McPhee, a cab driver was found by police in an impaired condition in his car with the engine running. Get me However, evidence showed, the driver, who had been in a house, recognized he A had been drinking too much and tried to telephone his company. The telephone was busy, so he went out to his cab and started it up, in order to operate the radio equip- ment. After calling his dispat- cher and asking him to come and get him, he then fell asleep across the seat. In the second case, Regina versus Mullin, the accused, well under the effects of drugs, was found behind the wheel of a car. He told the court his friend had been driving, but had left after an argument between the two of them. The accused then sat Don Boynton of RR 2. Gormley, says stoplights are necessary if accidents such as the one involving the above car are to keep from occurring at the in- tersection of Don Mills Road and 18th Avenue in Victoria Square. The car. driven by Joseph Rosh, 72, of Willowdale, was in collision with two cars after it pulled away from the stop sign at the corner and proceeded across the intersection. The other cars Car struck at controversial corner This leaves at least two municipalities with a problem to be solved to ensure they will continue to grow as they should. “ Roman disagrees of “age seen no indication \s happening," Markham‘x Mayor Tony n "u-..

In both cases the appeal court ruled there was no intention on the part of either appealant to assume control over his motor vehicle. ‘ In provincial court, Darragh said he felt the same thing applied in the case of his client. He had entered his car to sleep and not to drive. York Regional Police Constable Carl Shaw, testified he had come across the accused in his car, parked on the east side of the Woodbridge Hotel parking lot at 1:10 am. Asleep on seat Allan was asleep on the front seat, his head toward the driver’s side and his shoes half off. The car motor was running, the lights off and the doors locked. The driver’s window was also open slightly. “Shaw Vsaia he banged on the window and woke up Allan, who then sat gp.

A spokesman for York Regional Police in Markham. when asked if the corner was a dangerous one, said it wasn't. It was “wide open,“ he said with “good visibility." Prince Charles proved that indeed he is a “Bonnie Prince” on his recent visit to Canada as he mingled with the rank and file of Canadians much more freely than any other royal visitor to date and exhibited a keen and intelligent in- terest in everything he saw. He is seen the hotel from 9:30 pm to approximately 12:30. He wasn't sure of the amount, but he was “intoxicated and tired." As a result, he planned to sleep in his car until he sobered up enough to drive home, he told the court. He said he turned the engine on, so that he could use the heater, as it was a cold night. Got pillow Then he took off his glasses, which he always wore otherwise, put them on the dash, and then got a pillow for his head from the back seat. Allan said he locked the door, but lowered the win- dow about an inchâ€"and-a-half to allow any fumes from the engine to get out. Why haan’t he called his wife to tell her he wouldn't be home? asked Crown Attorney John Appleggth. His wife was in bed, Allan said and he didn’t want to wake her. Besides, she was a “high strung” person, who would have been upset easily. All the more reason to call her, wasn‘t it? Applegath said. Wouldn’t she have been more upset to wake up and find he wasn‘t there? Allan said he hoped to be home before that happened. Judge averse When defense counsel first introduced the Ontario reports covering the tw0 Local MP ESCOrts Prince Charles (Photo by Elber?) cases, Judge Pearse said he couldn‘t rely on them as cited cases, the idea being they were still only in note form and not in law book or text book form. However, Crown Attorney Applegath said later he had read copies of the cases at his office and felt the resumes before the court represented "‘good sum- maries." It still all was “going to boil down to one point of credibility,” he said: “I‘m aware of all that," the judge replied. The point was whether he could rely on those cases or not. It he could, he would make his decision that day. They could be relied on. the Crown replied. The question was whether the accused could be believed in his statement he had decided “to sleep it off.” Disagreed Applegath said he disagreed with the appeal court’s decisions. The court had said that when the ac- cused had entered the cars, they didn’t intend to drive. There had been no intention on either side to assume control of their vehicles. “What does that mean?" Applegath asked. The section covering the offence, presumed guilt whether the vehicle was in motion'or not. He said there were cases, too, where motorists had been found standing outside their cars and still been convicted. If that section meant anything, “it doesn’t mean anything anymore because of the ruling by the court of appeal,” the crown attorney said. _ ,4 Boy Scout fireworks If lfiéyniotorist had turned on the ignition, he must have Who says Richmond Hill is quiet? , .- There’ll be plenty of fireworks Monday evening when Richmond Hill area Boy Scouts get together to put on a display of the latest in sky rockets and such. There's a dual purpose to their Skylarking. Last week, the Scouts met with Fire Chief Robert Kennedy and received some instructions iditrhe safety factors to be considered in putting on such displays. A As a result, the Scouts are not only anxious to put on a colorful show, but also to demonstrate how all these fiery explosives can be handled in safety. They are also currently conducting a blitz of the area to get funds for all their fireworks. The display will be held at dusk at the Scout shack, just east of Langstaff Secondary School and north of Highway The public is invited to attend. THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, May 14. 1975 â€"_33 am“ with a beaming Minister of urba“ Affairs Barney Danson, who represe‘“ this riding of York North at Ottawa‘ d“““§\a visit to the National Capital Com“_“ssion's maple sugar bush just outsme “WW/a intended to assume control “I feel what I sa'y is logical â€"â€" what the court of appeal says, is not.” Applegath said. If the verdict were appealed to the Supreme Court, there would be a different decision. The accused was impaired and had “care and control,” whether he intended to sleep or to put the car in motion. Cruel stand? “I say he’s (Allan) guilty," Applegath said. “It may be cruel, but that’s the way the law reads." He cited another case, in which he said it was con- sidered the “intention to drive was not the essential element." Judge Pearse said it was “insufficient for the defendant just to raise a reasonable doubt." He must “discharge by a prepon- derance of evidence the burden upon him." In this case, the crown had proved the matter of im- pairment; it was apparent Allan was impaired “to a high degree." Very interesting There was, however, an “interesting point.” Allan had said he got a pillow from the back seat, had lowered the window to guard against fumes, turned on the heater and locked the doors. He had done these things because he said he had no intention to drive. Had he then gone beyond a reasonable doubt? Was the court “taking a risk” if it found with the two cases presented by the defense, there was no intention to drive? “Then it seems the ac- cused has overcome a reasonable doubt if I believe his evidence," Judge Pearse said. “Has the crown established otherwise?" he asked. The cases presented, showed Allan had discharged his burden, had met his responsibility. He had stepped into his car without any intention of driving, the judge said. Applegath, who disputed the verdict, said there was “no point in proceeding” with the second charge of having a breathalyser reading over.80, “as you Would dismiss it." Bob Keith.
