Like a wave. three feet high and 40 feet long, erupting on a calm day. with no boats in the area. Mighty suspicious. Kempenfell Kelly has never really been seen, although some pretty suspicious things have been happening in Lake Simcoe. They plan to set out this weekend to unearth (unwater‘?) Lake Simcoe‘s answer to the Loch-Ness Monster. Carolyn Humphreys wants to have a chat with it. “I would talk to it.“ she said. “I want to say hello and find out if it’s lonely." Kelly. who is as popular in the Barrie area‘ as the Oookpik, is the reigning monster of Kem- penfelt Bay. and the five-person expedition wants to have a look.

(Liberal photo by Bruce Hogg) Aurora Mayor George Timpson last week called for the takeover of the county children‘s aid society by the Region of York. But regional councillors who also servc as directors of the children‘s aid staunchly defended the principle of an independent board. made up. as Richmond Hill Mayor David Schiller said. of “near volunteers“. The board of the York County (‘hildren‘s Aid Society has been under fire since it received the resignation of its former executive director. Donald Van (‘amp. in return for $50,000 in severance pay, The Society normally receives 80 per cent of its funds from the province and lhen 20 per cent from the Region of York. But the provincial ministry of community and social services was not consulted in advance about the amount of the severance agreement and is balking at payment. The question of payment is now before the provincial cabinet. But at last Thursday‘s health and social services committee "After we had left the water for the day without even a sign of the monster. we saw a huge wave." McQueen said “It had to be 40 feet long and at least three feet high. “There wasn't any reason for a wave that size" he said. “I bet it “as Kelly checking to see if the coast was clear . . .

Mayor Schiller said he was not sure that making the board a function of the social services committee was the solution to the problem. Under new legislation. the health and social services committee has just absorbed the board of health of the Region of York. More legislation would be required to dissolve the present hoard of the children‘s aid. building located on the west side of Yonge Street. midway between Benson Avenue and Wright Street. The building has eight floors of one. two and three bedroom rental suites and Mr. Greenberg said they have received a big response and already many of the units are rented. Social services director Allan Wells said such a move had been recommended in the review of regional government in Ottawa- (‘arlelon and regional chairman Garfield Wright said there had been “many such requests? The regional clerk, Bob Ver- non. said there had been trouble with the society “in the old county days". Bul Whilchurch-Slouffville Mayor Gordon Ratcliff said there was a “terrific amount of volunteer work“ being done by board members. (‘ouncillor Ron Moran said he could not even get to the board‘s committee meetings. “It is a complex organization with a lot of problems“. Mayor Schiller said the role the near volunteers play “is pretty important“. Peter Cumming, u member-0f the board of the children‘s aid sociely from Thornhill. said the takeover was a “stupid idea". In principle. a community baised agency would be more responsive rather than throwing everything into a regional government“.

Canadian National Railroad has erected a small shelter to serve the limited number of passengers travelling their Northland train to North Bay, Cochrane and Kapuskasing. Robert Doty. regional manager of governmental and community relations for CN, said the present station building requires ex- tensive repairs and from an economic point of view CN felt it was best to “remove that which is in disrepair and replace with something more "appropriate“. Black Hawk exotic dancer 119 charged Dr. Fayle said he felt TATOA was not adverse to the idea but it would probably be a question of cost; the cost of moving the old station as well as renovating the building. Dr. Fayle and Mayor Dave Schiller met with representatives of the Toronto Area Transit Operating Authority to suggest the old station be moved to the south end of the property owned by TATOA at Markham and Newkirk Roads. Jack Clark, Methods and Procedures Officer for TATOA said. “We‘re actively looking into the possibility of honoring the request of the municipality. however, it would be premature to say our thoughts were formed in any direction. He mentioned the pOSSibility that TATOA and the town would Mayor Schiller said, if possible. the town would like the historic rail station used for some related purpose. At the meeting TATOA representatives outlined future plans â€"â€" sometime in the next five to ten years. depending on demand â€" to expand their platform facilities south of Markham Road. Both Mayor Schiller and Dr. Fayle felt the old station could fit into these long range plans well and could be used as a rest spot or place to serve coffee to com- muters.
