Rowe said: "I would gladly support a motion that would make disclosure mandatory. But here. we're just passing something that can’t be en- forced anyway.” Opposing it were councillor and mayoralty candidate Gordon Rowe. Councillors Andy Chateauvert and Lois Hancey. Councillor William Corcoran was absent from the meeting. Councillor Mike Burnie and Mayor David Schiller also spoke in favor of the resolution and both suggested there should be provincial legislation giving municipalities the power to require disclosure. Councillors Al Duffy and Marylo Graham also supported the resolution. RICHMOND HILL â€" Civic election candidates here will be “requested” to disclose the source of all campaign donations over $100., town council decided Monday. Council wants full disclosure of donations Although they acknowledged a municipality has no power to enforce the policy, a council majority ex- pressed support for the idea of full disclosure and thought voters have a right to know who is financing cam- paigns. Councillor John Birchall, author of the resolution. commented: “I believe it is in the interest of the citizens to have full disclosure." “It would appear that great care has been taken not to mention the year 2000 so as to creat the impression of my supporting an exploding, uncontrolled type of growth, the last thing I would want to happen." “The initial year cost was $17,235,000 â€" not $4 million as Mayor Schiller tries to point out. RICHMOND HILL â€" While Mayor David Schiller was jumping on mayoralty challenger Gordon Rowe for his comments on local vs. regional government, Rowe himself was lashing out at the mayor for “inaccurate figures in opening remarks of the campaign.” “Let’s show somé credibitility as we commence this campaign," Rowe retorted. In an interview on Cable 10 TV, reported in The Liberal last week, Schiller said the cost of regional government rose from $4 million in 1971 to $38 million this vear.“ Schiller‘s reference to Rowe’s stand on Richmond Hill population is also inaccurate, Rowe said. “The region-estimated population was in the range of 95,000 to 105,000 (by the year 2000), and this projection I supported. Rowe questions mayor’s math “An inaccuracy of $13 million in one of his opening remarks of his campaign would lead one to subsequently challenge any future figures tossed about." She said she intended to support the return to a core curriculum for Grades 9 and 10, as announced recently by education minister Tom Wells. This meant a good grounding in the "essential communication skills," such as English composition, grammar and literature. However, she said she Bailie, a trustee for 14 years and the only remaining member of the original York board, said he hopes to be able to devote more time to his family and church. “It is because I believe the taxpayers of Thornhill want trustees who are concerned about the quality of education that I have decided to run for reâ€"election," Mrs. Quirk said. Joy Horton of East Gwillimbury, Donald Sim of Markham, and Chris McMonagle of Markham, have also announced they won’t be back. Running in Mrs. McMonagle's place however, is her husband Bob. Another Markham trustee, Doreen Quirk, announced this week that she would be back for another try. Allen said he was hoping some “good, serious thinking person” would be running in his place. Bailie bails out Another Richmond Hill trustee, Warren Bailie. won’t be running either. Allen said there had been “an evolution of instruction” in the schools, but marking hadn‘t kept pace. Students should be rated in some fashion, he said, and there has been nothing to replace departmental examinations. “I think that's part of the reason that people are saying the students aren’t adequately trained." He said he would like to spend more time on his business. He is a partner in the architectural firm of Allen Brown and Sherriff. RICHMOND HILL â€" Chairman Doug Allen of Richmond Hill has joined the growing list of York County board of education trustees who won’t be back next year. “You can spend 30 to 40 hours a week on it and you need twice as much as that â€" especially as chairman.” Allen said. Allen, a member of the board for four years, told The Liberal it had been “a great experience,” but also a time- consuming and frustrating one.

She also asked that each student have a “home-room teacher, who teaches him, is responsible for him andrcares about what happens to him." Quality teachers, plus report cards showing the progress of the child; a sense of responsibility among the student, and respect among teachers, parents, pupils and trustees. were also emphasized by Mrs. Quirk. Mrs. Quirk said she challenged the teaching and administrative staffs to organize the secondary schools “in such a manner that every student may study English for enough time to become competent in all skills â€" reading, writing, speaking and listening.” Next Monday is the deadline for York Region United Way's first- ever campaign.

RICHMOND HILL â€" Several can- didates‘ forums have already been announced, and more are in the works, as the civic election scene becomes increasingly lively here. “. .. I find it incredible... disturbing that Regional Councillor Rowe should take the position that local governments should be eliminated and all powers should be given to the regional government. municipalities may well “give way" to regional government, he said. Rowe, who has served on York Region council since its inception in 1971, last week announced he will be a candidate for Richmond Hill mayor. Last week, Schiller called a press conference to issue a written statement responding to Rowe‘s comments. It said, in part: “Given half a chance, regional government would succeed. . . I believe the problem is that a majority of (regional) council have grown more parochial. . . and have forgotten why they are here, supposedly to benefit the region as a whole." In one of a series of articles called Meet Your Regional Councillors, the “Regionews” wrote that Rowe “believes area municipality govern- ments within the Region of York should be eliminated." 1 Rowe was quoted as saying: “Until such time as local govern- ments are eliminated I can see only a continued deterioration at both levels of government. I am fully cognizant of the fact that such a statement will not win me many friends and political colleagues, but when we are spending millions of hard-earned taxpayers‘ dollars, who is interested in a popularity contest..." RICHMOND HILL â€" Referring to a recent interview with Gordon Rowe published in York regional govern- ment‘s official newsletter, Mayor David Schiller has attacked his mayoralty opponent “for taking the position that local governments should be eliminated.” for Studies in Education, rfiififiéâ€"Esity of Toronto. A department head in West Park Secondary School in Toronto, Sullivan is at present a candidate for degree of doctor of education at Ontario Institute Among the planks in his school platform: treat all children as in- dividual, educable children, a sound. basic curriculum, reâ€"establish genuine moral and social values, hold down the rising costs in schools through sound financial management, make schools more accessible to the local comâ€" munity; provide for professional ac- countability to parents and taxpayers.

William Lazenby trying for comeback 50 pages Deadline for candidates to _file nomination papers is Nov. 15. The civic improvement committee has scheduled three meetings in separate parts of town. Candidates for council seats and the school board will appear at Richmond Hill High School Nov. 29, at Oak Ridges Public School Dec. 1 and at Hillcrest Mall auditorium on Dec. 2.

Council and school board candidates will be thereto answer questions and later talk informally with the public. “And I can’t see that it would be the region going down the drain. The mayor things are all finalized at the region,“ and in time the local municipalities may well “give way" to regional government, he said. Rowe added: “I‘m not promoting the elimination of local governments. But what I was trying to say is, if we don’t buckle down and have more cooperation, it will become one or the other. “I did make the statement, and I’ll stick by it. You have to be honest." Rowe, in an interview with The Liberal, made no attempt to repudiate the statement or deny any of the quotes ,attributed to him. Schiller also said that, as soon ’as the Rowe comments were published, “I myself asked him if he was serious and he replied, ‘Yes, that‘s exactly how I feel’. Needless to say, a repudiation now after he has declared his intention to seek the position of mayor would be extremely suspect.” “The historical base of the town is an important ingredient in making the community a home for its residents. The various boards and committees appointed by the council of the town are an important part of governmental functions. If all these were to be eliminated, it would be a sad day in- deed. “With Councillor Rowe’s expressed position that local governments should be eliminated, I wonder why he would want to be mayor.” Al Duffy . seeks second term Doug Allen . ., . it's time-consuming Price 20 cents
