ws + «three-legged | Scugog Recreation Committee Under threat of mass resignations from the Scugog Recreation' Com- mittee, council agreed Mon- "day night to study a pro- posal to completely restruc- ture the Committee, giving "it broader responsibilities -and with active participat- ion from all sport and: recreation groups in the Township. Committee chairman Bill Ringham and member Chuck Preston told council that the organization at pre- sent has little purpose for remaining in existence and that its duties such as hiring life-guards for Birdseye Centre and staff for the summer. playground prog- ram might as well be hand- led by the council itself, Mr, Preston read a report to council stating that many members of the nine-man committee have resigned in the past out of frustration. The decision to resign en masse was made "at the Recreation Committee meeting June 20 because 'the. Committee as it is currently set up, is a totally ineffectual body with little or no powers to achieve the necessary goals for the bet- terment of recreation in the Township". PORT § PERRY Serving Scugog Township The report read by Mr. Preston suggested that recreation. and sport res- ponsibilities be split in two. One group would govern the physical properties such as ball 'diamonds, - swimming pools, parks and arenas; and would 'also govern the economic management of these facilities. The mem- bers of this part of the new structure would come from existing members of various groups such as Minor hockey; baseball or the tennis club. The second new committee would « assume responsibil- ities for the co-ordinating, Wednesday, June 29, 1977 Threaten Mass Resignation promoting advertisingrand developing of programs "which could enhance the community. by increased awareness and participation of the general public". This committee would 'be made up of representatives of the major athletic and. cultural interest groups in Scugog ° such as Town Hall 1873, and 'the Historical Society. Both Mr. Ringham and Mr. Preston stressed that the proposals were not de- signed to bring all sport, recreation -and cultural groups under complete con- trol of the re-structured (continued on page 15) 32 Pages Council still struggling with In a chamber crowded with delegations, Scugog Council = Monday night wrestled once' again with the problem of trailers allegedly parked illegally at the Goreski Resorts marina and campsite on Scugog Island. ca After a lengthy discussion council 'agreed on two motions: one gives the resort operators until July 4 to move two trailers parked in' contravention of a site plan agreement; the 'other calls for the drafting of amendments to the site plan J po es agreement to restrict park- ing, re-route a laneway, and to restrict further dredging or filling at the campsite without prior approval - of the Council. Council concurred with a report by the Property Committee that two trailers Exuberance shows on the faces of these two youngsters as they ran the race last Tuesday at Palmer Park. The event was part of the activities of playday for Cornish School kindergarten students. 4 psite trailers moved 'last week under threat of prosecution are now located on proper sites. These two trailers had been found to be parked on il- legal sites two weeks ago, and at the regular meeting of June 13, Council was asked that they be moved within 48 hours. A four-day extension was granted and the Property Committee of Vern Asselstine and Don Crosier concluded they are parked legally. These trail: ers were moved from along a fence line on the west side of the canal to sites at the north end of a boat house on the west side of the canal. One of the two trailers still allegedly on an illegal site is along the same fence line, while the other is on a site in the south end of the campsite. Mr. Wayne Goreski, before council on behalf of the marina and campsite asked for a 'reasonable length of time" to move the two trailers and was given until July 4. The trailers are not (continued on page 11) with a five-iron on the 150-yard éth hole. Hole-In- One A hole in one at Sunny Brae Golf Club.

His wife Mary, and Cath Burley Board ratifies teacher contract By Betty Deeth Durham Board of Edu- cation trustees 'ratified a salary agreement Monday night with Secondary School teachers for the contract year 1977-78. _ Pickering trustee Alex Keith presented the salary negotiating committee report saying that although in" January and February they were determined to "hang tough', the Board must be responsible to its employees, and they did the best with what they had. Whitby trustee, A. R. Irwin, agreed, adding that arbitra- tion would be costly. Repair cracked curb More than 500 feet of con- crete curbing has been re- placed along regional roads within Port Perry because of cracking and chipping. A spokesman for the Dur- ham Region Works Depart- ment said last week that inspections this spring revealed the cracking and oh ing of the sections: of on Lilla Street and the intersection of Highway 7A. The curbs were constructed last year. The damage is attributed to frost heavings this past winter and the fact that the granular bedding under the curbs may not have settled properly. It was necessary to replace the damaged sections before the final asphalting of Lilla Street later this summer. Costs for the repair have been covered by the stand- ard performance and main- tenance bond posted by the contractor. After five and a half days of negotiating with the help of provincially appointed mediator Harvey Ladd, the committee came to an agreement. The opinion was expressed more than once that the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) is a - powerful union in this pro- vince and that the Durham Board is ineffective in hold- ing the line because there is a lack of co-operation among the individual boards in the province to act as one voice. The increased salaries will result in $2.6 million having to be raised through taxes. Trustee E. Van Nieuwenhove, Uxbridgs pointed out that sixty pe: cent of tax dollar now is going for education and reprimanded the teachers for their demands.
