The younger kids do not have a licence yet, and even though he is 17, he said that does not mean he can always getacar. Mark Timmons, 18 likes to practice his techniques and im- prove his skateboarding skills and said a paved area is needed for that. "If they want us out of the downtown area we need a ramp, and obstacles to prac- tice," he said. On the banning issue itself he added, "I don't think it is fair to ban skateboards when they let bicycles on the roads. And I've seen them on the side- walks, and they don't get tick- ets, so why should we," he add- ed. Skateboarders want answers as to why council wants their sport banned. This was evident during the opening ceremonies of Festival Days when several skateboarders posed the ques- tion to Mayor Hall while he was attempting to officially open the festivities. Recently Uxbridge Township banned skateboards from the downtown area and those who disagreed spray- painted a mes- sage to council. The message on Malcolm says he'd keep council more informed From Page 1 ties, there is a greater need to improve the existing infra- structure. He points to a new municipal building as an exam- ple, adding the municipality can't afford such a project at the present. Another example, is a $7- million recreational facility which he says is being studied. He argues that instead of spending money frivolously, they should improve what they already have. Councillor Malcolm believes he could bring a different style leadership to the council, which he says at present expe- riences too many confronta- tions. . "I don't have anything against Howard (Mayor Hall), I Just disagree with the way he solves problems. I guess it's his style of leadership." Councillor Malcolm says he would react to situations before there is a chance for confronta- tion. He would also keep the council more informed on is- sues. Councillor Malcolm predicts next term's council will have a somewhat different face from this term's. He points to a 4-H Go for the Gold contest will be held in Greenbank A lively competition is on the books for Aug. 1 in Greenbank. That's when ten 4-H teams will be participating in the annual Go For the Gold Competition, spon- sored by Reesor's Marmill Seeds in Markham. The contestants will have to answer questions about all different aspects of farm- ing. From the participants at this Durham West county competition, a team of all- stars will be picked to com- pete at the Central Ontario regional competition in Oc- tober. From there, the top team will go on to the Provincial finals at the Royal Winter Fair in November. The competition will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Greenbank United Church. number of positions open, after the incumbents, which include Neil Hunter and Al Goreski, have announced that they will not seek re-election. This was one incentive in his decision to run. Realizing this potential for a radical change in the council chambers, he de- cided to do his part to see this change happen. > He is also attempting to make the November 12 elec- tion interesting for the public as well. Councillor Malcolm says the public "enjoys a race" and knows the voters like to have a say in the outcome. "People want a choice," he says. "I'm offering them the choice." Although he has only served as councillor for one term, he knows the life of a public fig- ure. His Father, Lawrence Malcolm, served as mayor of Scugog Township for five years, and has been involved in area politics for more than two decades. "If I'm successful in being elected for mayor, there's more of a commitment. There is a cost to anything, and I think you must ask yourself 'are you willing to pay the price?" To date his only rival will be fe Jrusanbont, Mayor Howard all. a Brock Street West business read "Skateboarding isn't a ?2%%1? crime." Peterborough also banned skateboards from the streets, and restricted them to parking lots, and a ramp that was built for them. Two other teens who wished not to be named told the Star there is nothing else for them to do. There is no recreation cen- tre, and the lake is not swimma- ble. They said they could be do- ing a lot worse things than skateboarding, and that is keeping them out of trouble. Paul Branscombe, 15 also is against the proposed banning. He like many others said "we are not hurting anyone." The skateboarders are not going to roll over and take the an. Josh Short, 14 said he thinks itis dumb what they are doing. "We have not done anything wrong," he said. . He and several friends plan on attending a council meeting on July 29 to let Scugog Town- ship council know how they feel about the proposed banning.
