at the spring hill golf club craft sale part of the proceeds diabetic society go the sflc therapist talks on family crisis by annegre t lamure stouffville the family in crisis what is stouffville doing about it was the question under discussion at the stouffville family life centreecently the answer seems to be plenty in a colloquy with local doctors ministers teachers lawyers and others in helping professions co- counsellors evelyn wolf and larry nissenbaum explained the factors that were leading vto the collapse of families- what- could be done about it and how the family life centre was attempting to cope with it sometimes we feel were just walking to the river taking a bucket of water and pitching it laughed evelyn as she talked about her role as counsellor mind you were aiming it but its still a very small scale attack on a mass problem in the long run she feels that education is much more effective were also running courses and feel that those are like building a dam upstream an irrigation project has been set in motion she concluded the family life centre although only started last november has been consistently gathering momentum and this fall as well as doing family and in dividual counselling has a whole flock of courses lined up they deal mainly with child rearing and relationships within the family since this is where the biggest con flicts occur j many people are at first reluctant to seek help in dealing with their children or spouse simply because they feel they should be able to cope on their own after all no one told their parents how to raise children or how to get along with their spouse it was simply taken for granted never before in this society has there been a group of people who did not know how to rear their young explained larry never before have people sought how to rear their young and never before have teachers sought to learn how to maintain classroom discipline he attributes this uncertainty and sub sequent turning to outside help to major changes in the structure of society the autocratic tradition is no longer valid explained larry there used to be a hieriachy but it no longer exists he pointed out that it was only natural that children raised in a democratic society would seek equality and refuse to bow to authority at home the same phenomenon is also taking place in the schools and eroding the teachers superiority teachers in schools are excellent- if the child j wants to learn said larry but if the child chooses not to learn our schools are near bankrupt larry told the group that the old techniques of reward and punishment no longer work punishment works only for those who dont need it larry stated c tegorically take the top child in the class and punish him and youll find hell rarely do it again but teachers find themselves punishing the same child again and again theres always one in the class it didnt make any dif ference to him how many times he got the strap- to him it was an accepted way of life larry also pointed out that if punished the child will learn might is right and try to get his own way by force rather than by learning to cooperate with others also when a child is punished he becomes tremendously angry and will retaliate the fallacy is that york y is offering many fall courses the york region family y has announced its fall programs in stouffville and ballan- trae with courses starting all next week some of the programs offered for adults are macrame at orchard park starting october 3rd at 7 pm ballroom dancing at latcham hall on october 4th at 730 pm and a week long course in brass rubbing also at latcham hall on october 19 at 7 pm durham schools save 150000 a durham board of education energy con servation program has been estimated to have saved close to 150000 in energy consumption during the 197677 school year r j russell superintendent of plant commented that the board staff saved 91 per cent ingas oil steam and electricity along with reducing water con sumption by 16 per cent mr russell said the energy program had wide support and- the reduc tion were accomplished with the cooperation of students teachers and custodians as part of the program the board last year held seminars for staff and other personnel it also conducted regular testing of school boiler efficiency and allocated 10000 for energy use improvements he commented that the schools are aiming for a further five per cent improvement this year certificates of recognition have been presented to 54 of the boards 95 chief custodians who attained energysaving reductions of 10 per cent or more fitness classes volleyball yoga and mens basketball are also being offered for adults for the children the y is planning a baton twirling course for 10

program featuring two novice and seven intermediate levels all classes will be held at slaters pool in vandorf for more in formation on other classes times and prices call the program directors at 884tsn or 773u91 any adult is a match for their child- you have other things to think about during the day but a child can devote all his energies to getting even if he wants to a child can spend an entire day figuring out how hes going to foil you said larry we no longer have a generation gap we have at best a demilitarized zone relationships bet ween men and women also often deteriorate into bitter power struggles men feel that their authority has been usurped women feel they dont have a fair shake said larry he feels that marriages often deteriorate because in stead of sitting down and talking about their dif ferences people play the waiting game you know how the waiting game goes said larry he waits for her to change she waits for him to change- theyre all waiting the other thing is that we dont listen weve never been taught to listen weve been taught how to be a spouse weve never been taught how to be a friend and most important of all weve never been taught how to listen so when someone else talks it goes in one ear and out the other we have cases where a spouse will be told im going to leave you and then later the other person will sit there saying you never said that its because they chose not to hear it we have to learn to listen larry also talked about the fallacy of trying to train the other party and pointing out their mistakes schools are a great training ground for this remarked larry they train us how to become mistake centered as an example he cited spelling dictation you may have 17 correct but youd have three red marks on your paper larry pointed out teachers and parents taught us how to find mistakes he said that what happens under such a mistakecenter system is that the children who are having trouble get more and more discouraged and finally give up well they dont entirely give up larry temporized they become entrepreneurs if you like they sell drugs they steal and they become good at it everyone has to have a place he shrugged another problem is that when a child gets in trouble with the teacher a letter is sent home why should the kid have a good life at home if hes messing up at school right well make sure he gets duly punished for it larry pointed out that things may be going along all right at home but the teacher will upset that so that now the child is a total failure both at home and at school how often do teachers send notes home when the student is doing well larry wondered imagine if teachers and principals used all that energy to tell students what theyre doing right in his view people have to learn to en courage each other learn to build their own self- esteem and learn how to be socially interested this means being able to look beyond the question of whats in it for me now and learning instead to handle responsibility intimacy and equality should we not do that said larry slowly its going to lead to anarchy in our schools revolution in our families and rupture in our marriages continued from page 1 john williams a nova scotian farmer who had come to upper canada about 1801 immediately following the patent issue on 19 february 1806 stouffer enlarged his holding by purchasing the lot from williams stouffer an ex perienced farmer and miller expanded his farm and between 1817 and 1824 built two mills on the western branch of duffins creek a grist mill on lot 35 and a sawmill on lot 1 these mills formed the nucleus around which a small community soon developed as early as 1829 stouffer was selling village lots in stouffville as the hamlet was generally known from the first a postoffice was opened in 1832 with charles s sheldon an early merchant as first postmaster the early village seems to have developed near the mills and east of the creek along the road dividing the townships by 1846 stouffville with a population of about 70 contained two stores two taverns various trade- shops and a gristmill apparently rebuilt north of the road after both stouffer mills had bur ned in 1848 the gristmill was sold to edward wheeleraprominentlocal merchant stouffville grew steadily and various industries and shops including steers tannery and speddings foundry were established there in the late 1840s by 1851 the population of this flourishing little village had grown to about 350 and six years later it reached 500 the first registered village plan was surveyed in 1852 by george mcphillips in three blocks east of whelers mill along the town line the villages main street this plan was registered on 2 april 1853 cabinetmakers saddlers harness- makers blacksmiths merchants and inn keepers were all active in stouffville during the 1850s wheelers sawmill and gristmill rebuilt south of the road by 1860 and a von busacks harness factory however remained the most active enterprises i stouffville was much less a manufac turing village than markham and more a local general business centre with a good local trade particularly from the townships north of stouffville the village benefited substantially from its position near the junction of roads from uxbridge and whitchurch to markham the com munity gradually developed eastward along the townline towards this junction by 1851 hiram yakes had opened a tavern on this road near the tenth concession line during the next decade the village extended to these corners along the nor- thern side of the road the large and flourishing village noted in an 186465 directory relied heavily upon horse- drawn transportation and related trades stage- lines ran to whitby and newmarket from stouffville during the 1860s and 1870s and at least one was stouffville- owned n the incorporation in 1868 and construction of the narrowgauge toronto and nipissing railway was expected not only to increase torontos economic in fluence but also to bring much new business to stouffville various municipalities including markham township provided municipal bonuses for the railway which opened for traffic between scarborough and uxbridge on 1 july 1871 the railway brought immediate profit to the mills of edward wheeler who secured contracts for the fencing and ties on this section and for ties watertanks and engine sheds on the uxbridge- coboconk section for stouffville generally the population of about 700 in 1870 did not double more local news items surprise party a surprise party was held for helen and

fixed address expected by 1880 but the village did experience a moderate degree of prosperity the stouff ville correspondent to the markham economist reported in december 1875 that the village had made rapid im provement during the past five years and an individual leaving at that date returning now would scarcely recognize the present flourishing village as identical with the combination of a few scattering houses then bearing the same ap pellation the railway and stouffvilles growth prompted many residents to consider separate municipal administration for the community in january 1876 edward wheler and others sub mitted a petition to york county council for stouffvilles in corporation as a village council subsequently passed bylaw number 274 on 4 february 1876 whereby stouffville became an incorporated village the first village council met on 15 january 1877 with james dougherty a stouffville hardware merchant as first reeve by may 1877 stouffvilles population stood at 868 people after 1877 stouff ville continued to function as an important local centre with an increasing number of shops and services when the lake simcoe junction railwaymncorporated in 1873 was completed in 1877 north from stouff ville additional trade was brought to the village the builtup area was extended westward beyond the railway line in 188889 stouffville with a population of some 1100 inhabitants claimed various prospering in- dustries including pump agricultural implements and springbed factories a marbleworks the saw and gristmills and large carriageworks and harnessworks stouff ville grew to contain a population of 1223 by i901but there was little chance for a village thirty miles from toronto to grow into a town and stouffville had to com- pete with other large and

smith and wesson revolvers to replace outdated models still being used by police officers the cost of pur chasing the weapons will be 307878 and ac cording to chief crawford will allow for the replacement of now unapproved weapons the revolvers presently in use which clearly do not conform to revised regulations of the police act will be destroyed c om m issioner gladys rolling asked the chief whether or not the weapons might be of some value to a dealer but chief crawford said he felt they should be destroyed rather than put on the market regional police commissioner ray twinney of
