In an interview with The Liberal on his years of chairmanship and separate school affairs. McDermott said board Established 1878 JOHN McDE RMOTT B)‘ HAL BLAINE Richmond Hill Edition A delegation from the family plan- ning advisory committee Monday night told the public school board more effort is likely to be most effectivepin the following: â€" promote health clinics; â€" improve school programs on sexuality and birth control; â€" regular school visits by professionals from resource groups; â€" parent education; â€" teacher education The trustees referred the recomâ€" mendation to the school board’s committee on sex education. Venereal disease and unwanted pregnancies are on the increase among young people throughout York Region. And the York Region Health Board advisory committee on family planning is recommending to the York County Board of Education that something be done about it. The proposed action is recommended in the belief education can combat these twin problems. The family planning advisory committee includes members from the health board, the region health unit, York Region Family and Children’s The recent electriéian’s strike caused some problems with building projects.

Provision of a new office centre is one of the next projects faced by a system that is going well _and growing steadily. The town has indicated it is interested in the board being involved in a new civic building. What is envisioned is a combined civic building like the one in Aurora which serves that town and the regional public school board. The building would be at Major Mackenzie Drive and Yonge Street in the vicinity of the new police station and firehall there. Their offices are spread out over a number of locations.

The delegation said it came forward since the school board is reviewing sex education in the schools and is studying what is being done elsewhere. “However, our concern is what is happening to the young people in our region," he said. With him were Mrs. Sandra Vessel, community health nursing supervisor at the York Region health unit; Mrs. Angela Hamlen, family planning co- ordinator with the health unit; and Mrs. Wilma Reid, a social worker with York Region Family and Children’s Ser- vices.

Additions are under construction at two other schools, St. Joseph‘s in Markham and Holy Name in King. The next construction project coming is the new St. Paul's school {or Newmarket. It has been just approved and is at the working drawings stage. A revised tender call last week resulted in a $200,000 saving from earlier bids. Design economies had something to do with the saving.

It would be in Newmarket. 32 pages Price 20 cents “So the feeling is the clerks should give seats to Aurora and East Gwillimbury, raising the board’s size to 16 trustees. McDermott admits this is close to representation by population. But he still feels it ignores the wishes of municipalities to be separately represented. "Now 10 of the trustees are in the southern towns of Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan." “we feel even} municipality should have at least one trustee. It‘s only fair. Another concern of the present board, said the chairman, is the matter of number of trustees and the areas they represent. members of his group. Members would meet with school system research staff to share information and to explore ways of improving sex education. He also offered the time of a number of participating professional volunteers who would be available to region teachers as resource people aiding in sex education. Whitchurch-Stouffville Trustee Harry Bowes wanted to know at what age sex education should start in the schools. Dr, Hirsch said it was his opinion sex education in the schools should start with Grade 7 and 8, since by Grade 10 it is already too late. And such a large system’now involves a lot of administration. He said he was asking in view of information he had that it’s illegal to teach birth control to people under age 16 at the same time as it’s legal to provide abortions under that age. . .sexual knowledge we hope will stop them doing what they are doing,” he said. Richmond Hill Trustee Eric Baker said he personally favors the kind of education proposed, but was concerned that nothing be done to upset the current United Way campaign. So the board is kept very busy trying to deal with growth, the need for new teachers and new buildings. member board for St. Robert’s, McDermott said. There’s getting to be a fihing in “The new York Region United Appeal is being very well received by the Rich- mond Hill firms I have called on"' says Dave Amos, chairman of the industrial- commercial campaign team in town. “Strangely. most of the companies in this area have never been approached before. They are recognizing now the opportunities of the United Way campaign. “It's proven to be the cheapest and most efficient way of raising money. It‘s strictly volunteer. There are only two salaried staff," says Amos. He feels it takes time to build an awareness and understanding of the United Way. And it’sr important to emphasize people don’t give "to" the United Way, they “give the united way", hersays. “It‘s the region's own United Way. They (businessmen) generally feel they have an obligation to support the community and its social services. “To name a few, these people con- tribute from a corporate standpoint and also have excellent employee par- ticipation: Consumers’ Gas Co., Dow Pharmaceuticals, Robert B. Somer- ville, Wilson-Niblett Motors, Don Little Ford, Safeway and Sears,” he says. Actually it's the first year the United Way has really been able to mount a major active industrial-commercial campaign. Last year the amount of manpower for the first year of the United Way here was limited. This year there are more people working. But they could still use lots more volunteers. Anybody willing to help is urged to contact Amos through the United Way office, 884-0132. How did industrial chairman Amos get involved? A V Well, as it happens his insurance brokerage office is in the same building as the United Way, 10265 Yonge Sty. _ Besides that, EieCutive Direétor Bob Higgs and Amos went to school together: Amos has been in Richmond Hill since 1957. attended school here, lives here, now has his business here, and believes strongly in the town. New approach He was handed the committee chairmanship in mid-September. only a short while before the campaign started. He had some fund raising experience as promotion man, later director, of the Richmond Hill Rams hockey team. Amos was interested because he wanted to draw the Rams and United Way closer together, as the Rams are also community based. It was a very; short time in which to put a committee together. Two or three people he knew were available. After a telephone campaign among friends of these friends, etc., he was fortunate enough to get 17 people who said they would help. According to witnesses, the woman stepped from the curb at Bayview and Proctor Avenues Saturday at 12:05 am. into the path of a northbound vehicle, a police spokesman said. No charges are expected to be made. A post mortem was ordered by the attending coroner. This year the team's effort is keyed primarily to 40 or so larger industrial companies in Richmond Hill. Tfiey are aiming to raise five per cent of the campaign tptal, $20,000.‘ ‘ If he could get more help, that would provide the manpower to cover the commercial sector as effectively as he would like.

Raymond Feeney, 12, required two stitches to close a knee gash after being bitten by a dog, and his father doesn’t want it to happen to anyone else. But he's not having much luck. George Feeney, 76 Elgin Mills Road West, told The Liberal Monday he has attempted to have the dog that bit his son quarantined, but continues to get the run-around from the Provincial Ministry of Health. The dog, “bigger than a German Shepherd”, attacked young Raymond while he was riding his bicycle on Bayview Avenue, north of Elgin Mills. Driver of the car involved was Russel Lillie, 25, of 22 King Richard Court, Markham.

Close to $125,000 in contributions has been received by the York Region United Appeal in its 1977 campaign Executive Director Bob Higgs said this week. The Richmond Hill total stands at close to 313.000. The campaign is aiming for a minimum of $24,000 from the town. But they‘re really hopeful this will be substantially beaten. Feeney said he has been attempting to get the dog locked up for two weeks and he‘s “losing time from work". Included in the town commercial total are one $5.000 gilt. two $1,000 gifts. two $1.000 gifts. two for $500 and a $35 amount from a volunteer‘s canvass in a small plaza.
