PAGE 8e WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3 1, 1979, WHITBY FREE PRESS Receaiondiecor -wants, moreus f town-owned fa 1liie Programs in town-owned facilities, park development, and more efficiency within his department are the prior- ities for Whitby's Recreation Director-Wayne DeVeau in 1979. Mr. DeVeau says he would like to develop more programs in town-owned facilities s0 that there will be daytime progmams in the Centennial Building and Heydenshore Pavilion, and at the Brooklin Community Centre as long as they don't. conflict with present programs.1 This trend began in 1978 when the recreation department turned over community based programs in local schools to the Durham Region YMCA, s0 it could concentrate exclu- sively on> its own facîlities. Mr. DeVeau would like to see a wide and vaied scope of programs, but they must pay for themsel'ves, or they will be discontinued, he said. 1 Wesley's 1973 LEMANS COUPE 350 V-8 AUTOMATIÇ, P/S, P/B, RADIO, W/W, W/C, VINYL ROOF.

If the budget he submitted to the town council. is approved,.he hopes to hire a part-time person in July to work on arranging pograms for the falof 1979. Also Mr. DeVeau wants to become more directly involved in programming himself. Another matter of concern is outdoor programming in winter. Depending on approval of the capital budget, there are plans for finishing the devel- opment 0f'Central Park in West Lynde this year, and work will also be done in the parks in the Pringle Creek, College Downs and Bradley Farm subdivisions. Mr. DeV eau says he wants to continue the development of the athhetic fields at Iroqsuois Park in 1979. This and industrial areas. Again, budget approval will deter- mine if this work is doiiw. Also proposed i! a wecrl spraying progr,.ý-;,- Peel, Willow, Brookliri, Ce'ntral, Hutchison and Blait .s Sixty acres would be sîwiayed twice during thf-- summer, said Mr. DeVeau. Another important on- going development wilh be the building up of the town's stock of parks equipment, 50 areas formerhy not cut, can be cut and kept ordérhy, said Mr. DeVeau. Mr. DcVeau reports that New SOCC( wouhd inchude the completion of the two softball diamonds started last faîl, and the construction of six tennis courts. The construction of these courts would mean the Whitby Tennis Club could move its operations fromn Peel Park to Iroquois Park, lie said. Another priority is new promoétional methods for Iroquois Park, especialhy the swimming pool. "It costs $84,000 to operate that pool and the people should use it more and get their money's worth, said Mr. DeVeau. The recreation depart- ment will continue to dlean up the creek areas in 1979, using inmates from the Whitby Jail as a labor force. This was quite successful hast summer, lie said,- and got work done that the town s own work crews couhd not do. The 'recreation depart- ment went under a consider- ~-1Learn a Trade... able reorganization in 1978, and changes were made because the department was too oriented towards facili- ties, said Mr. DeVeau., The supervisor, of facilities' position was ehi- minated and Deputy Recreation -Director Fred Beckette is now in charge of all facilities, with an office at Iroquois Park. In addition, Mr. DeVeau will be assuming more responsibility in the area of community involvement in addition to administration. One thing lie wants to do is provide a list of projects that service clubs' could under- take for the town in the.field of recreation. Again, there will be no town-operated summer playground program in 1979, as there was limâited reaction to its being dropped last year, said Mr. DeVeau. However, the recreation department intends to work with the YMCA to obtain a grant from the federal government to mun a prograr in somne parks, lie said. Th e Durham Cultural Foundation is also seeking federal support for a summer park program in the Durham Region,. and the town is. asking -the public library for support with its bookmobile. Transportation to Iroquois Park swimming pool is a problem, so Mr. DeVeau would hike to try a pilot project of a bus service from Myrtie Station, Myrtie, *Ashburn and Brooklinto the pool on Sa turday afternco'ýns for public swimming. Il it does not paý for itself, it would- have to, bel discon- tinued, he said; Other projects for 1979 iiclude landscaping on the J cffrey Flats along Lynde (Jreek, and iii Blair Park as a buffer between *residential meet on F e b.e TeFebruary General Meeting of the Oshawa- Whitby NeWcomers' Club will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Consumersl' Gas Building, Whitby.
