Duing its 1990 budget delibe- rations last week, Town council agreed th do awa witb the sports award nighZt and its $4,500 cost te tbe municipality. - Council rejected Brunelle's attempt te, rescue the awards nigbt from the chopping block by defeating a motion callhng for its inclusion in the budget. The decision to scrap tbe awards night was contained in the parks and recreation depart- ment's portion of tbe budget. Director Larry Morrow said staff felt tbe function would be better served by baving a local service club assume responsibi- lity for it. award night He also pointed out that a speciai nigbit to recognie the contributions of Whitbya com- munity volunteers was eing proposed and it will cost $7,000 fort bat event. - The volunteer apeito night would be a one-time event beld at the beginning of every decacte. «You bave in this coinmunity many young and not-so-young peopje who compete across tbe ~rvnce and nationally,» said «We do this te, recognize them and say thank you as a munici- pality.» Councillor Ross Batten said that while the event is we]l- planned, he felt interest in it was waning. "If an individual or teain excels we can recognize them at coun- cil," sa.id Batten.

"Tis B'will bhave absolutely no impact on the budget, yet we bave bundreds of young people Wbo reacb national and even international stature beind denied recognition by their com- munity," shouted Brunelle. "Tius' is the community that produoed Anne Ottenbite and Lori Strong. For this coinmunity flot te recognize people like thein is cbintzy."
