Teachers will be asked, "do you want to strike?" Mrs. Boake, a Maple resident for 20 years, has set up a service she calls “Let Pat Do It” and describes herself as “a general all purpose Go- fer“. By SHAARON HAY Liberal Staff Writer Monotonous, tedious and dull are three words that could not be applied to Audrie -Boake’s successful new business venture. Duties have ranged from something as simple as taking an elderly person to a doctor’s ap- pointment, to picking out lingerie for shy husbands or boyfriends . . . she has even helped pick out an engagement ring. L .bTHE RICHMOND HILL I She has been in business for two months now and her services have been varied, but never dull. The fledgling business woman said she was unable to find work locally and decided to go into business for herself. The idea for the “Go-fer" service came from an article she had read while in the United States, said Mrs. Baoke, where a woman there had set up a similar business. ’Mrs. Boake, who is in her 505, said her past business experiences have often helped her in her new business. Her past employment record has been varied. she has been a home economist for Kelvinator Appliances, a hair color consultant for Rayette-Faberge, a beauty consultant for DuBary Cosmetics and a sales promotion manager for Tannery. a leather and vinyl con- ditioner. A Metrospan Community Newspaper W'ednesday, April 18, 1979 20 (2911;; 30 pages This Map/e resident is a genuine ’go-fer’ The housing mix on 80 acres will include everything from single family dwellings to high- rise apartments on the Yonge Street frontage. There are also 33 acres designated for commercial development. The board‘s negotiating comfiiittee. chaired by Richmond Hill Trustee Bill Monroe, met eight times with the teachers' team with the help of provincial mediator Harvey Ladd. from January to April. During the early morning hours of April 4. the board made a final offer to the teachers in the form of a two-year contract. The deal includes a 6 per cent salary increase plus increments for experience of another 2.4 per cent in the 197879 year. Those increases would be retroactive to last September 1. The first year's raise is an average increase but the second year (1979-80) offers a straight increase of 6 per cent of every figure on the grid. Those teachers not already at maximum levels would also receive increments of more than two per cent‘ Over half the high school teachers have reached maximum levels and the majority of those are also in the highest (A4) category. The salary changes. if ac- cepted‘ have boosted the minimum pay levels for teachers in starting categories from $12,704 to $14,338 for 1979-80, The highest category minimum jumps from $14,971 to $16;885.m_ Where the maximums for September. 1977 ranged from $21,571 to $26,818. they would now be increased to $24,237-$30.133 through 1980. Principals are also being of- fered a 6 per cent increase for the first year and an additional $1,700 for the following year. They could make $39.326 and then a maximum of $41,026 in 1979-80. One of the areas the teachers are not happy with is a cost of living clause the board is of~ fering. It is a similar feature already accepted by teachers in Scarborough, Etobicoke and the Borough of York, which provides Below May Avenue, beginning April 19. the watermains will be “swabbed”. meaning a plastic sponge is forced into the hydrant before the water is turned on, another method to force out the residue. This job will be done between 8:30 and 3:30 p.m‘ People in that area of Richvale will receive a notice the day before the works department starts on their area. POOL PARTY? The public relations factor came in handy when asked through “Let Pat Do It” to organize a Wine and Cheese Party, said Mrs. Boake. She said she would like to “take a crack" at organizing any type of party in the future and in particular she looks forward to pool parties â€" drawing from her personal ex‘ perience on that score. Her experience with DuBary came in handy when asked to apply the make-up for a complete bridal party in Toronto recently and her own interest and flair in interior decorating played an important part when asked to choose wallpaper and drapes for another customer. Some of her assignments are a little more specialized. for example. she has been asked to give a class in microâ€"wave cooking. Mrs. Boake said she has a special “in” for this chore as she was the person to introduce the first microâ€" wave oven in Canada, about 1955. The amitious business woman said she originally had thought in terms of helping out senior citizens, as part of the impetus to start the service came from doing favors for her 84- year-old mother and her friends â€" but she has actually had very few calls from seniors. One service she has been able to do for senior citizens is the sham- pooing, setting and coloring of hair. in the customer’s own home, a service she learned while working u “That was fun,‘ she reminisced, ‘No one had ever seen one before." The land bounded by Yonge Street and the Canadian National Railway. Sixteenth Avenue and Hillsview Avenue is mostly rented for farm use now. except for a strip of hamburger stands and commercial garages on Yonge Street. The Provincial Minister of Energy and the Minister of the Environment have both informed the town of Richmond Hill it is too late, as farlas they ape conâ€" cerned. to stop the construction of the hydro towers through the parkway belt at the entrance to Richmond Hill. ‘ On March 5 Richmond Hill council passed a resolution requesting all major Ontario Hydro undertakings be subject to an Environment Assessment Hearing, and this resolution was sent to the two ministries. March 27, James Auld. Minister of Energy, replied to the town saying the Environmental Assessment Act does apply to all Ontario Hydro undertakings â€" except those which are specifically exempted by the Lieutenant Governorâ€"in-Council. He said if the CPI hits 9 per cent. that would ensure teachers of another $25.40 for the year. additional income when CPI (consumer price index) in- creases 7 per cent. In a press release, the board claimed the clause is designed to protect teachers against runaway inflation. Such an exemption was granted for the Clairville to Cherrywood transmission line. because of the “exhaustive” hearings conducted concerning those lines by Dr. Omond Solandt between 1972 and 1974 and in the Parkway Belt planning process between 1973 and 1978. “That‘s what we call a McDonald's COLA clause.“ said ()SSTF District 11 executive officer Eric McLean. “It kicks in at 7 per cent and at 8 per cent we get an additional $8.50 â€" enough to buy dinner at McDonald‘s." The letter states “The Lieutenant Governor in Council was satisfied that no useful purpose would be served by conducting a third lengthy and expensive hearing of the same subject. and that the resulting delay would be prejudicial to the electrical consumers of Ontario“. Harry Parrott, the Minister of the Environment, made the same comment. stressing the fact considerable effort had already It’s too late, ministries say, to stop hydro towers Mr. McLean said he douldn't for Rayette as a hair color con- sultant. SIGHTSEEING Another time she had the assignment to take three elderly ladies sightseeing to Toronto’s Eaton Centre. Tours with senior citizens appeal to Mrs. Boake, who said she has‘ had a great deal of experience with seniors. Some of her assignments have been to pick up visitors and packages from Toronto Inter- national Airport, both for in- dividuals and companies. Travelling doesn’t bother the Maple resldgnt. Already she has contracted to pick up a client’s relations arriving in Toronto from Scotland this summer and take them to Niagara Falls. Later this week she \X/ill be driving to Peterborough to pick up lawn furniture for another caller. When Mrs. Boake started in business she charged $6 an hour for her services, but she found that was not enough to cover the cost of gas so she has raised it to $10 an hour â€" a price that is still low, she said, when compared with a similar service in Toronto where the owner asks $40 an hour. Repair men, television, telephone or whatever, are not known for arriving when they say they will, and that is another part of Mrs. Boake‘s service â€" she will sit in residents' homes to wait for the repairman‘s arrival, leaving home owners free, she said. About 1,280 dwelling units housing approximately 3,640 people are anticipated. A major concern was ex~ pressed by the University of Toronto if Hillsview Avenue Headlights of cars climbing the hill on Hillsview would shine directly over the great dome housing the David Dunlap Observatory telescope, the university‘s letter stated. A major concern was ex~ pressed by the University of Toronto if Hillsview Avenue becomes a “collector road" in the development. Mr. Monroe said many of the trustees had become confused about salary negotiations and rather than have them say anything that could hurt mediations, he thought a special meeting of the whole board was in order. understand why the board decided to publish their position on negotiations. He, felt an agreement was made between the two teams not to go public until a settlement was reached. Immediately after the closed meeting Monday night. he issued a statement outlining the board‘s position and the teachers‘ response. been invested to ensure the selection of the most acceptable alternative. Mr. Parrott said he sees no new grounds to consider changing the status of hydro facilities but assured the municipality “future major Ontario Hydro un- dertakings in your area will receive the full treatment under the Environmental Assessment Act".

Schiller wan ts survey Richmond Hill Mayor David Schiller Thursday called for traffic surveys of Bayview Avenue between Markham Road and Highway 7. Mayor Schiller noted a fatal car collision in the area in the past week, the fifth in 18 months and asked what would have to be done to get improvements in the road. By that time, Highway 404 should be operating to Markham Road and the need for the im- provements might be in doubt. Regional chairman Bob Forhan said there was “no doubt of a problem now" and called for action on the part of the engineering department. He noted that regional council was approving a major residential development just west of Bayview Avenue. Engineering commissioner Bob Hodgson said the design for the road would not be completed until 1980. the Richmond Hill section of the transmission line corridor which travels through the jail farm, is not within the Parkway Belt, and therefore has not had a hearing. Mayor David Schiller will inform the ministries of that point, but said he did not feel it would do much good. Today the special committee made up of council represen- tatives from Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill will meet with MLA Alf Stong to discuss where the three municipalities go from here. The interview with John Gamble will be aired next Monday April 23 at 7, 9 and 11 Cable 10 with Mr. Danson and Mr. Searle. Classicomm is busy right now preparing a profile of each of the candidates for the election. These outlines will be aired three Mondays in a row: April 30, Bruce Searle; May 7, John Gamble; and May 14, Barney Danson. Mr. Wildfong said he hopes to include in each sketch a short history of the man. a look at his personality and interests, past community involvement, a look at what his concerns are for the country and why he is run- ning for a seat in the election.
