"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 30, 1991-17 Skateboarders unhappy with reaction of council A group of 10 skateboarders, most with skateboards in hand, descended on Council to voice their opinions to the proposed ban on skateboarding. Josh Short, speaking on be- half of the skateboarders, told Council that "skateboarding is our only transportation, and if it is banned we won't be able to get anywhere downtown." Mayor Howard Hall told Josh during a meeting earlier this month and reminded him dur- ing the meeting that the group had misinterpreted the pro- posed bylaw. "I don't want you to think that we're picking on you, because we're not." He re- minded them that the bylaw was in place for safety reasons. Josh told Council there were approximately 35 skateboard- ers in the community, and felt that this number warranted a skateboarding facility. He sug- gested that the Township es- tablish such a facility to take the youths away from using the downtown area. "If we had an area to use, we would use it," he said. Police asking for assistance in solving MacDonald's robbery Crime Stoppers and Durham Regional Police are again asking for the public's help in solving a robbery which occurred in Oshawa on December 2. At 4:15 a.m. two males gained entry into the MacDonald's Restaurant at 501 Ritson Road South by smashing the north glass door with a pipe. Two employees were accosted by the suspects and a knife placed to throat of one of the employees. Suspects then forced a padlock off the safe and unsuccessfully attempted to open it. Both suspects then fled on foot eastbound. Thieves nab electronics A residence in Blackstock was broken into last Saturday night and theives made off with approximately $1,000 worth of electronics equipment. According to Durham Re- gional Police, a television and VCR was taken from the Mt. Joy Road home. The suspects are described as male, white, 18-20 years, 6', 160 lbs. Suspect 1 is described as hav- ing medium length sandy blonde hair and wearing a white scarf covering the lower half of his face.

It was suggested that if the facility was in place they would help in both the construction of the park and also in the upkeep and policing of it. Council is generally in agree- ment that something must be done about the problem with skateboarding in the downtown core, but doesn't know what the best solution would be. Area 4 Councillor Glenn Mal- colm believesit is a good idea to give the youths a park for skateboarding, but says a num- ber of issues including the legal ramnifications and location must be looked at before mak- ing a decision. = Councillor Malcolm felt it was a good idea to hear both sides of the story, and now that both sides have been heard a more intelligent decision can be made. He said the Parks De- partment will put the issue on its agenda. The group of skateboarders were not as pleased, however. They claim that Council "treat- ed them like a bunch of kids" and didn't take them too seri- ously. The youths believe that Council will ban skateboarding on the premise that they are building a park for them, but will never meet that end of the deal. But they say nothing will be done until next year. In the meantime they will just have to wait and see what happens next.
