Council members made another round of suggestions to Whitmire Recreation Director Beth Broom's working list.
Council member Michael Thomas suggested “No tobacco products” replace “No smoking.”
Council member Debbie Harris asked for restricted Sunday play until church let out, and council decided on 12:30 p.m.
The basic set of rules will be posted at the basketball courtside and be considered for the tennis courts and upcoming skate park.
Whitmire basketball court rules:
1. No hanging on the rim or any part of the system, including backboard, support braces, or net.
2. Absolutely no profanity.
3. No weapons, fighting, or reckless behavior.

5. No alcohol or controlled substances are allowed.
6. No tobacco.
7. No chewing gum, food, or drinks allowed on the basketball court.
8. No solicitation or unauthorized sales.
9. No graffiti.
10. No littering. Use available trashcans.
11. Sunday play restricted until after 12:30 p.m.
12. Report all injuries, broken equipment or unsafe conditions to the Whitmire Recreation Department.

CHEER AND TACKLE
Flag football for ages 6-9 had its first game Oct. 11 and will play Saturdays at 10 a.m. for the next four weeks at Whitmire's high school football stadium.
The Stinger football league for ages 9-12 that plays in Union is finishing up its season and headed to the playoffs. Playoffs will be announced this week said Broom.
The Mite League, hosting players ages 8 and 9, is halfway through its season. The Mite League plays in Newberry.
“(Recreation league) football and cheerleading is going very, very well,” said Broom.
FUN AND FOOD APLENTY
Whitmire senior citizens boarded a Simpsonville tour bus and headed to Myrtle Beach Oct. 5.
The four-day trip included a movie by the pool, a 50's sock hop dance, a show at Dixie Stampede, line dance and shag lessons, crafts, bingo and plenty to eat.
“We ate and ate and ate,“ said Broom. “Every time we turned around it was time to go eat. If anyone went away hungry it was their own fault.”
Simpsonville Recreation extended an invitation for Whitmire's seniors to travel with its group again next year.
“It's just a fun time of fellowship,” said Broom. “They can do as much or as little as they want.”
“My mother-in-law attended it and she had a wonderful time,” said council member Harris. “I'm still hearing about it.”
