Study in its fifth week; recreation BY MURRAY MOORE Penetanguishene is five weeks into a 10 month long review and analysis of recreation, heritage, and cultural activities and programs which are offered in the town, by the town's recreation department, and other agencies, to the residents of the town and the neighbouring townships. The recreation department will survey town residents, special interest groups, and service clubs, and ask what activities and programs they would recommend for the town. Another question will be how best to co- ordinate community schools, recreation staff, the police, service clubs, and other resources, to organize a successful and long term program. The town has $33,000 under Canada Com- munity Development Programs to hire three people for 10 months to conduct the review and analysis. Part of the results will be an inventory of what is presently available. Residents will be surveyed to discover what activities they would like to see introduced, such as swim- ming in a pool in the town, for exmaple. The result of the 10 month's work by the culture in Penetang three people will be forwarded to a consultant for review and possible additions. The idea of the study is that with the results in hand the town will better be able to allocate its recreation dollars. Grants are easier to obtain if the town can present a study backing its claim for the need for a project. The 10 month long project is being managed by Brian Murrant, secretary to the town arena, parks and recreation board, and Ron Marchildon, the town's recreation director. Police Chief Dennis Player says that the need for recreation in Penetanguishene has to be a priority. Vandalism, theft, and con- sumption of alcohol, the last particularly, are problems in the town, as they are in many other towns. The role of the police force is such that when police become involved, it is past the time when the particular problem can be avoided, the police chief said. It is not enough to criticize young people for their lack of initiative and '"'counter-productive" action, Chief Player said. Alternatives have to be offered. The thoughts of the residents are needed, otherwise the results of the study will be meaningless, Marchildon says. reservations To review petition Merchants up in arms 'EARLY BIRD' Gottitla/ Sunday, Feb. 20, 4-7 p.m. at the Granada gn ners ail FROMS J OUR REGULAR 2 PRICE amma Club '27' available for meetings and banquets ) Ary. 93 Go Balm Beach Road, Midland vations 326-2797 MENU Midland Planning Committee and the town's Public Works Committee are to review a petition from eight Bay Street West businesses opposed to Midland making Bay Street, one-way traffic travelling east from Second Street to Midland Avenue.
