By Jackie Page vandalism liability insurance and Upkeep of municipality owned recreational Parks All add to the taxpayers expense however if enough time Effort and Money is dedicated to their operation they can be of significant Benefit to the Community. Sayre Borough recently voted not to investigate the feasibility of developing a recreational Park along its Susquehanna riverfront area due to the history of flooding and vandalism that occurs there. The Borough also noted that Money could be spent on its four other Borough owned Parks for improvements and renovations. Sayre Borough manager Eugene Osmun told the daily review that vandalism is a problem that often occurs at those established Parks. He cited broken water fountains damaged playground equipment and even stolen antique Park benches in the boroughs Milltown. Fourth Ward Island Pond and Howard Elmer Parks. He said the antique benches removed from the Howard Elmer Park could not be replaced. A vandalism is a continuing problem a he said and the a riverfront area is especially a problem. Athens townships round top Park which was owned by Athens Borough and Given to the township in May 1971, does not suffer much from vandalism said township Secretary Geraldine Hurley a we be been quite fortunate a said mrs. Hurley of the 500-acre Park although the Park is locked and closed Between 9 30 . And 7 .

Mrs. Hurley said the Park is self sufficient and is not a major Cost to the taxpayers As Pavillion reservations and Cable and Antenna rentals help to fund its operation. The Park is covered under the municipality a liability insurance which she said has not been a major problem or concern.

Reiterating the theme the administration has selected for the trip Reagan spoke of a brisk and bracing winds sweeping out the old and i believe ushering in a new Era of Freedom it is a journey we Are very excited about a Reagan in Brief remarks As he left from Andrews air Force base in Maryland for los Angeles his first Stop said he wants a to reaffirm and renew our economic strategic and political ties with allies. In los Angeles Reagan planned to meet later with members of the private foundation which is raising or. King said the main worry he has is with the Lack of use of the Small Park on the Corner of Elmira and Willow streets. The boroughs main Park located near the Borough building on River Street has a Tennis court Pavillion playground equipment Horseshoe pits and Ball Field. There is also a Small Park area in the downtown Section of Athens. See a Parks a Page 11 the Valley towns contain numerous municipality owned Public Parks ranging greatly in size and facilities offered. These Parks Are built maintained and improved with a considerable amount of taxpayer dollars. A daily review photo by Jackie Page personality conflicts should t influence local votes and decisions local City government boards have a heavy Load of work to accomplish during a Given monthly Council meeting. From Borough ordinances and resident complaints and problems to annual budgets and major expenditures a lot of work goes into the duties of a Council member. After a recent session of a Sayre Borough Council meeting however i Caine to the conclusion that conflicts in personalities of those Board members can result in the Way one votes and they do More Valley viewpoint by Jackie Page often than they should. Often i am under the impression that some Board members Are not voting for or against an Issue based on the Best interests of the Community. Rather these members Are voting for or against another Council member or members. My concern is this when personality conflicts enter into local governmental decision making processes Are the Best interests of the Community being considered personality clashes cannot be totally avoided especially in a working group setting. But they can be placed on the Back Burner and temporarily forgotten when major and not so major business is up for discussion and vote. We teach our children to do the same and learn to get along with those with whom they must work and play. Important time can be lost when bickering and sarcastic remarks Are made during Public meetings. Important discussions could also Progress More quickly if the Issue alone is addressed granted Sayre Borough Council is not the Only guilty governmental Board that tends to get carried away with pettiness. Nearly every group setting has its share of problems and quarrels and these in moderation Are healthy. They often provoke a thorough discussion of the subject at hand take a look at our National government and the highly critical remarks and pokes made by our own president of other leaders and officials. We All can to act in a civilized manner All of the time nor can we be on our Best behaviour even in Public at All times. However we must keep the personal conflicts to a minimum and keep the Community a Best interests in the foreground when dealing with and making decisions which will affect the general Public. Government leaders were elected by the people to represent them keeping their Well being in mind. Personality conflicts should not overshadow ones voting or decision making processes in the governmental make up. A a
