"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 30, 1991 - 15 YMCA asks help to fight increasing costs Representatives from the YMCA of Durham Region ap- pealed for the help of Council in its fight against the School Board over facility costs. Janice Griffith, general man- ager, YMCA Durham Region, told Council that the Durham Region School Board was con- sidering changing the status of the local YMCA, and subse- quently charging the organiza- tion for use of ths school facili- ties. Under the present classifica- tion, the YMCA is determined as being in Category "C", which means that it does not pay for the use of the school property if it doesn't require janitorial ser- vices. But as of September 1, the School Board is contemplat- ing reclassifying the YMCA and YWCA to Category "B". Ms. Griffith says it will mean an additional cost of $46,000 across the Region, and approxi- mately $2,100 for Scugog. Presently the YMCA uses the facilities at three schools in the area; Cartwright Public School, S. A. Cawker Public School, and R. H. Cornish Public School. These facilities are used for such activities as gynastics, floor hockey, recitals, and dance. Of the 360 participants enroled in programs at the YMCA, approximately 190 re- quire a gymnasium. Ms. Griffith is concerned that Motor stolen from boat A Johnson outboard motor and a five-gallon gas tank was stolen from a boat at a house on Coleman Crescent, in View Lake, last week. Police estimate the value of the property at $1,400. There have been a number related incidents around the area this year, according to Durham Regional Police. Cigarettes are seized during store breakin A large quantity of cigarettes was taken from a Port Perry convenience store during a break-in last week. According to Durham Re- ional Police, approximately 3,000 to $3,500 worth of cigar- ettes was taken from Kellett's Variety Store on Perry Street, after thieves smashed the front door. The break-in was discov- ered by a newspaper delivery person in the early hours of Wednesday. There have been no arrestsin tne case. if the YMCA is forced to in- crease the fees that other pro- grams could possibly undercut the YMCA's programs and draw participants away from its programs. "We are a registered charity. No one is ever turned away be- cause they can't afford to pay for a program," said Ms. Grif- f th. Ms. Griffith proposed that the Township take out the per- mits, and the YMCA will run the programs on its behalf. This way it would not be required to pay for the use of the facilities, as small municipalities are not required to pay for the use of fa- cilities if it doesn't have its own recreational department. The YMCA would not be forced to hike the rates substantially in that case. Councillor Marilyn Pearce said that she was in favor of supporting the proposal espe- cially due to the fact that the municipality didn't have a rec- reational department of its own. She said they must do everything possible to keep rec- reational services down. Councillor Pearce suggested that Council draft a recommen- dation and pass it on to the ad- hoc committee. Ms. Griffith was pleased with Scugog to be featured on CKLY CKLY Radio in Lindsay will be saluting Scugog Township this week with more than 90 half minute features and interviews with local personalities.

"I felt that the Council is supportive of whatever the YMCA is doing," she said. Ms. Griffith also presented an update to Council, reporting that the YMCA should make a profit this year. According to the report, from September, 1990 to June, 1991, the Port Perry YMCA had a to- tal enrolment of 1,080 partici- pants. These participants were enrolled in three different pro- grams; September, January and April, with 360 enrolled in each programs. Of the 360 par- ticipants, 190 were enrolled in programs using school proper- ty, while 170 were enrolled in classes at the YMCA building. The 360 full-time partici- pants were divided into four categories: Preschool with 220 enrolled, School Age with 67, Adult with 10, and Floor Hock- ey with 63. Ms. Griffith also reported that the YMCA will continue to develop a "new directions" strategy, which began last year. Penny Kutlik, a program and policy volunteer, will take on this job. Ms. Kutlik will be co- ordinating a networking pro- ject that will connect the YMCA in Port Perry with other non- profit services and associations such as Big Brothers and Sis- ters, Durham House, Outreach and the Denise House. According to Ms. Griffith, some of these organizations have already offered to give free seminars, some have asked to do programming in the build- ing, and some are now working in co-operation with the YMCA by enhancing and informing some of our existing programs. "We see this new direction as becoming a very large and im- portant networking job for the YMCA in the future with the benefit and value going into the community," Ms. Gyiffith said in the report.
