WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1977, PAGE il Wo should pay for rescue, service council1 asks Who' should puy for rescuing boaters on Lake Ontario, off the shores of Whitby, was a subjeet of con- cerni to memibers of the town's operations comnmittee last wee k. The City of Oshiawa Marinie Rescue Association (COMRA) has asked the Towri of Whitby for $1 ,500 to support its rescue service in '1977, and the commnittee has asked for a meeting witli the representatives of the association.- Last year, Whitby did flot contribute any înoney to this volunteer-ope rate d rescue service. Councillor Joy Tliompson said rnoney sliould be spent to provide a boat for Whitby, since by the time the COMRA boat arrived frorn Oshawa, the- person in trouble would have drowned. Councillor Bob Atterslcy told the cornînittee that the use of pleasure craft is increas- ing and lie wanted to know what facilities the townlhad for marine rescue. He was informed by Recreation Director Wayne DeVeau that the Whitby Sailing School lias a boat and will respond to emnergen- cies, but if the sailing sehiool hiears that COMRA is on the way, it wilI not send its bout mit. There are sonie difference ofopinion whien Mr. DeVeau said that last ycar Oshawa Mayor Jirn Potticary told the Whitby bounciI that a great percentage of boating accidents occur off Whitby's sh1ore., Councillor Tliompson replied that Fire Chief Ed Croucli las a log that proves there are very few accidents in the Whitby area. Mayor Jim Gartshore said the town does flot have the funds to buy its own rescue boat, and Councillor Atters- ley reported tha t town money could',iiot be given to the sailing sehool because it is a private enterprise. Councillor Thoriipson sug- gested the town could equip the sailing sehool boat and have it manned by volunteers, 50 tliere- would always' be a rescue bout in Whiitby 'and the town would flot have to depend on COMRA. Mayor Gartsliore said there coLld, be resentrnent if the town gives $1,500 to COMRA when some group ini Whitby is doing the' same thing for nothing. Councillor Attersley suggested it would be better for the. fire department to operate a rescue boat. The mayor suggested further that rescue patrols should become a provincial1 responsibility. COMRA presently patrols the shore of Lake Ontario froin Newcastle to Whitby, and last year received $1,500 from the Town of Newcastle. No more grants from region With tlie exception of two, organizations, no more grants vi il be mrade to regional groups by the Durliam Region Council after 1 977. The regional couincil voted 18 to il on Tliursday to get out of the grant-giving business. The agriculture offices at Bowmianville and Uxbrîdge, liowever, will continue to receive $500 apiece as mandatory grants carried over from the old country system. Councillor John Aker, ch airman of the finance comrmittee supported the argument that grants should b e given out at the local Industrial seminar is today A number of local industries are sending representatives today to a seminar on industrial acids, sponsored by the Durham Region's Planning and Development Department. The seminar is being held from i1:30, p.m. to 4:30 p.irî. at the Holiday Inn in Oshawa. A number of industries in tlie region have been hav- mng problems with industrial acids, and the result is this seminar, says Richard Spence, Whitby development officer. level orîly. Whitby Mayor Jim Gart- shore said the issuing of grants could hiave a "snowball effect" and easily get out of hand, while Councillor Jov Thompson contended that by giving out regional grants, "youi are taking away thle incentive and ambition of people to raise their own fun ds". Motor bikes annoy councillors Some members of the town council want to see a firm crackdown on the use of motorcycles and motor bikes in town parks. In a recent debate, Couin- cillor Joy Thompson said there is a $ 1,000 fine for running bikes in toxvn parks, and Councillor Bob Attersley suggested a few charges should be laid. Mayor Jim Gartshore agree d that noise is the major prob- lem, but Councillor Thonmp- son also expressed concern that the bikes and their riders xvere endangering chldren in thc parks, by driving at high speeds. Mayor Gartshore suggested an arrangmnent be made with the owner of a local go-kart tracK to provide a place lor riding motor bikes, since there was no place the town could build aàpark for themn where people would not be disturb- ed by noise.
