She believes either these restrictions should be lifted or the assessment made on the basis of semi-detached home rates. One of the residents. Bev Breslow of Castle Rock Drive, points out that while they pay taxes as high as they would for a detached home, their activity is limited by municipal zoning. “We can‘t put up a hedge between the properties. a window in the common wall or put in a fireplace," she said. Market Value Most of the homes have a market value of at least $60,000 and are con- sidered semi-detached because they are joined by a common concrete wall underground. More than 100 people in the sub- division have signed a petition ex- pressing dissatisfaction with the practice. and town council is requesting an explanation from the provincial revenue ministry. RICHMOND HILL â€" Baif sub- division residents will meet this week to discuss how to continue their fight against. what they believe are unfair assessment rates.

Rooming-in of mother and baby and father-participation from labor room to bedside is encouraged at the hospital. w The report noted that, in 1969, when the province took over assessment functions from municipalities, it moved to assess every piece of property at its market value. “The market value for such a house is only reduced from that of a similar detached home by the difference in value attributable to the smaller lot size. In the Baif subdivision, for in- stance, 10 such semi-detached homes can be built on the same amount of property required for seven detached (homes.)“ “These buildings are. however, joined by a common concrete wall underground and are therefore technically semiâ€"detached homes . . . The report did not comment on the zoning restrictions affecting the homes. “The fact the buildings are connected by an underground umbilical cord of conc'rete does not reduce the value of the building.” This is the approach used in Baif, the report said. “and after careful study of these semidetached homes. ministry of revenue officials determined the cost of constructing, and therefore the market value. of such buildings was no less than the cost (of detached homes.) in areas homes.

KING â€"â€" Mayor Margaret Britnell has made up her mind and will definitely be a candidate for the Liberal nomination in York North riding for the next provincial election. She will have at least one opponent in the bid for nomination, lawyer John Foot of Woodbridge who announced his candidacy several weeks ago.

RICHMOND HILL â€" "Roaming-in" is what they call it at York Central Hospital, but it goes far beyond the physical presence of the new baby in the mother‘s room. Roaming-in at hospital pleases pa tien ts, staff an coWye sq are Tow “The supervision of the nursing staff during this period probably plays the most important part in relieving the anxieties and tensions of parents of the newborn. The problems on going home will be reduced for parents, baby and doctors." Parents and nurses agree. 'Great experience' First-time parents Wayne and Sharon Hails described rooming-in as “just great". Hails. of Cedar Avenue. Richmond Hill, commented he enjoyed being able to hold the baby. and Mrs. Hails said she was grateful for the opportunity to get to know her daughter. Christie Lynn. before taking her home. An experienced mother, Mrs. Margaret Ellard admits. “I shopped several hospitals and chose York Central because it allowed the baby to room-in with the mother." The births of her two older children were not nearly as pleasant, she says, because her husband was not allowed the same degree of participation before, during or after the birth. nor was she allowed contact with her babies until hours after the birth. “Having the baby room in with the mother is the natural way of doing things," says Mrs. Ellard. “It allowed my children the opportunity to see me and the baby before we came home." She was particularly pleased with the staff's policy of encouraging families to be together, of encouraging breast feeding while permitting the baby to establish its own schedule. “I really appreciate the extra workload carried by the nursing staff and the excellent care given me. my baby and the entire family at York Central," says Mrs. Ellard. Another recent mother, Mrs. Bar- bara Heffier, is full of praise of the whole philosophy of .uaternity unit at York Central. “This program allows the mother "to have a good night's sleep so she not only recuperates from delivery, but will be able to care for the infant with a freshness. vigor and entusiasm.“ says Golab. The rooming-in process. he adds. is invaluable in the education of mothers and fathers of first-born babies. also for any seconds or thirds. “Indeed it is evident to any observer this period is simply the "start of the valuable experience of growing up for both infants and parents.

April 28. 1976 Region raises Day Care fees Nursing staff at York Central are equally happy with the innovationf Says nurse Ruth Munro: “I believe rooming-in has proven very beneficial to the families of the newborn. First time parents feel much more confident in the care of their child." NEWMARKET â€" A move to double minimum weekly day care fees to $5 for subsidized families was approved last week by York Regional Council. The increase takes effect May 1. Council also approved new regular rates of $50 a week for entrants and toddlers. Pre-schoolers will be charged $44 weekly and handicapped children $15. Nurse Nadine Harris agrees “With the advent of rooming-in I have found mothers much more relaxed and feeling confident about looking after their babies by the time they are ready to be discharged home." Centres operated by the region are in Richmond Hill. Thornhil], Aurora and Newmarket. “Hubby did not have to wait a week to hold the baby," said Mrs. Hefner. “so a natural rapport was built up before the baby was left entirely up to me." The long visiting time allowed to husbands was also much appreciated by the mothers, especially by those who have husbands whose businesses involve a lot of travel. She speaks for many mothers in expressing her appreciation for the relief of the almost inevitable anxiety that haunts the new mother as she listens to the wails from a distant nursery. "Perhaps every new mother wOnders if that crying baby she hears in the nursery is hers. Booming-in eliminates that doubt, you rest easier, and the infants tend to be quieter because of the absence of any chain reaction crying.“ Mrs. Heffler was pleased; the instruction given new mothers in all aspects of baby care. demonstrations, baths and staff supervision of the new mother‘s first efforts the parents.“ she says. "The husbands allowed to be present at the actual delivery and, surprisingly. are most accepted. The birth of your child is something which should be shared.” Nurses pleased. too
