Some can almost be descn'bed as a work of art." He said that “Mr. Burnie has apparently changed his mind from two years ago when he was against visual pollution." “I feel such advertising makes for a very unaesthetic ap- pearance," said. Councillor Chateauvert, “and I’m against having it in our main ball diamond." He apparently was referring to the World Hockey championships where advertising on rink boards of arenas is commonplace. “I just love looking at ad- vertising signs,” enthused Burnie. “They do it all over Europe and it really livens the place up. I really get a kick out of them.“ iBoth aired their feelings at Thursday nights regular Rich- mond Hill Parks and Recreation meeting held at the Richvale Community Centre. Councillor Burnie is all for it, Councillor Chateauvert is all against it. Richmond Hill councillors Mike Burnie and Andy Chateauvert are unanimous in their feelings toward signboard advertising on the main ball diamond in Richmond Hill Town Park.

RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE RICHMOND HILL Councillor Bill Corcoran was for the “advertising” causing Councillor Chateauvert to remark that “I wonder if Mr. Corcoran would be in favor of it if it involved parks in his area." Councillor Al Duffy thought there could be some problem with the town’s sign bylaw. Councillor Burnie didn’t agree commenting the bylaw is "silly anyway”. Advertising space would be sold to ‘local Richmond Hill businesses and individuals on a yearly basis. Any profits received by the RHBA over and above the cost of the fence this year or any succeeding year would be used to improve the facilities at the parks in Rich- mond Hill through the parks and recreation department. revenue producers and prevent non-paying railbirds from viewing the games outside the fence.

In favdr of the proposal were Duffy, Burnie, Steve Mills, Ted Spence, Barbara Boer, Corcoran. The RHBA proposal was ap- prpved by 6-5. Councillor Chateauvert maintained his opposition and asked for a recorded vote to in- dicate his “strong feelings on this matter.” The wifidscreen would have cost an additional $2,500. The original proposal had been for a fence costing $4,500 plus a windscreen on the inside with advertising on it. Mayor Dave Schiller said he would be in favor “of the signs if they were taken down after each game as in the original proposal." THE LIBERAL Wednesday.
