Recreation and Transportation. Dave Bass told a meeting of the Scugog Ratepayers' Association that with more people coming into the com- there will be a need for more recreational facil- ities. The new"people coming in are getting the recreational facilities that are already in existence and will only pay for the upkeep of these facilities. But by charging a lot levy, the burden for new recreat- ional facilities doesn't fall on the people who have already paid, he said. In Pickering, the lot levy for recreation is three hund- red dollars. Mr. Bass said that it is important that council and the citizens sit down and develop some type of seven to ten year plan for recreat- ional development. "Recreation must provide a variety of alternatives," Mr. Bass said. 'There must be priorities of course, but we must promote opportun- ities for cultural and social, as well as, athletic activities."

(Dealer Inquiries Invited) It is also important to consider the whole area of education for leisure, Mr. Bass said. ~The Durham Board of Education has co-operatea with Pickering and the schools are being used so much that it is difficult to rent the schools now. - Mr. Bass stressed that each community has differ- ent recreational needs, that recreation has become a vitally important aspect of our lives. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said that Scugog wants the most recreation for the least amount of money. "T would like to view recreation more as what has been done rather than how much we have: spent," the mayor said. Mr. Bass said that Scugog is large enough to have a Recreation Director. He said it is important to gel a director who is capable of handling the administrat- ive end of recreation. "Don't go out and hire a young recreation person who has just come out of com- munity college or only has a couple of years experience," he said. 'He will lack the fundamental admistrative skills." The Director will not go out and actually run pro- grams in the arena, or on the tennis courts, he said. That is the job of leaders or volunteers. Mr. Bass said that he has an assistant director and four leaders on his recre- ation staff. and 3.

Pictured above is "Brooklin" left off water tower Should the name Brooklin be repainted on the water tower in Brooklin? It sounds like a simple question but Durham region- al council still hasn't come with an answer to that question after two debates in council. The question has now been referred to the town of Whitby for its consideration. When the water tower was repainted, the name Brook- lin was left off, causing some concern to local residents. The works committee re- commended that both the name Brooklin and the Region of Durham be paint- ed on the tower. But Whitby Councillor Gerry Emm wanted it left as it was before and had con- siderable support in council. Mayor James Potticary of Oshawa asked Mayor Des- mond Newman of Whitby where Brooklin was. Mr. Newman said that if Mr. Potticary could tell him where Columbus was, then he would tell him where Brooklin was. ] "There is no such place as Columbus anymore," Mr. Potticary said.
