    Published Weekly In Allston-Brighton Since 1884 Friday, August 28, 1987 Vol. 102, No. 35 35 Cents Monday night at the races McLauglilin dodges jabs by challengers By John Becker Although the District 9 City Council race is os­ tensibly among five candidates, the race will prob­ ably be decided on the public's perception of one candidate's record. Incumbent Brian J. McLaugh­ lin, who is Allston-Brighton's first and only district councilor, based his performance at Monday even­ ing's Candidate's Night on the accomplishments of his first two terms, while most of his opponents spent their time trying to show that his represen­ tation had been ineffective. McLaughlin used the power of his position as in­ cumbent and insider to assert that he could get the job done-citing the reopening of Station 14 and the repaving of Washington Street as two major accom­ plishments. The other candidates, though they presented a number of new proposals and attempt­ ed to focus on issues, did not differ greatly on sub­ stance. Each one had to discredit McLaughlin's record as an incumbent in order to make their can­ didacies relevant. continued on P_age'B Donlan~ Bowinan Paul Creight.on wat.cbllW as AramiB Camps dellven his opening statement at Monday Wght's amdidates' debate niethods nJgbt at the Jaclmon/Mann Community Scbool "P'•IMJl-ed by the Ward 21and22 Democradc O:amuittees.

Patrick, Governor Timothy P. Murray, Lt. Governor Ian A. Bowles, Secretary Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Commissioner Jack Murray, Deputy Commissioner for Parks Operations Resource Management Plans (RMPs) provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in DCR’s stewardship efforts. Stony Brook Reservation, the largest forested open space in the City of Boston, is one of the oldest properties in the Massachusetts state park system. This RMP represents both a connection to the historic past, and a guide to the future of DCR’s Stony Brook Reservation. This RMP also represents the initial step of DCR’s efforts to prepare RMPs for every state forest, park and reservation across the Commonwealth. Richard K. Sullivan, Jr. Commissioner The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), an agency of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, oversees 450,000 acres of parks and forests, beaches, bike trails, watersheds, dams, and parkways.
