after some discussion chairman wilf morley agreed to meet with erin and discuss the matter furth er committee members agreed there arent enough programs for teens in whitchurchstouffville during an interview at her home erin told the tribune there really isnt any way to get together with other kids to make new friends she explained teen dances arent good for meeting new peo ple because most dont attend alone erin admits she spends con siderable time watching televi sion when shes not busy doing homework she points out howev er shed rather be doing some thing else like rollerskating an avid swimmer she says there are only a few months in the year she can use the local pool in colder weather she goes to mar- kham or another community with an indoor facility living with her sister sarah 11 and parents john and susan- ne erin spends many hours with fantasy books after three years of not doing very much and complaining ab out it my parents suggested i write the mayor she said her letter follows your honor i am a girl of 13 years of age and i live in stouffville i am tak ing a special education program in king city ive been taking this program for three years and all my friends live in aurora and oak ridges my parents and i have been in vestigating the local recreation facilities and have found them to be extremely minimal if you do not skate and do not feel the arcade is an appropriate place to hang out your only option is the summitview youth club dances its very hard to find anything to do in this town more than once ive been forced to go to aurora to see a movie or go rollerskating with my friends for once i thought the town was going to respond to what the people wanted by turning the old arena into a roller rink i guess i was wrong stouffville really needs more storage room when i have written to other people of high status in stouffvil le all ive received in return is a list of all the sports and brownie related leisure activities avail able i have been involved with many of these activities but i dont think many of the teens in this town appreciate such facili ties i believe im speaking for many other teenagers and children who have not voiced their opinions please try to do something about this situation sincerely erin wilson erins mother said its not often children are listened to she commended council members for their interest for less a lot
