LOVELOOK TO SEEK SUPPORT AT LOCAL LEVEL WHITBY - Councillor Don Lovelock has decided he will seek re - election as Local Councillor of the North Ward in the October lst, Whitby Municipal Election. Public news that be will opt for the local level follows last week's notice by direct mail, to ail constituents of 'the North Ward,' "Who afterall," he says, "had the right to know my intentions firsthand." In choosing to stay dloser to home base rather than competing regionally, Councillor Lovelock is adamnant, in disagreeing with those who downgrade the so - called lower tier of local government. "I admit to being local - minded," lie confessed, "and l'm proud of it because the North Ward is my kind of place -- my kind of people." "I think Brooklin' Myrtle, Myrtle Station, Ashburn and ail the rural areas are communities that can be truly singled out for their particular local spirit and enthusiasm. They opposed with fervour, but nonetheless witb good sportsmansbip, amalg- amation; clung to their own names and subsequently held fast to their own identities on the map. These are qualities of character that 1, as a local councillor, wouid like to see retained under the new regional administration," he said. "Area planning," he said "is a prime example," As North Ward Council member of the 1973 Town Planning Board, be believes his involvement in preparing Whitby's Officiai Plan bas given him an overall insight into the short and long - range planning of the Town. "The open planning concept which encouraged citizen input was enthusiastically received by interested residents in ail 4 wards of the town and proof of the pudding is that fresh ideas and citizen suggestions, at least in the majority of cases, were incorporated in the presented plan." As chairman 'of the Social Services Department, Coun- cillor Lovelock stated he recognized that two challenges were giaringiy evident: The much - awaited reinstatement of a family counsellor, and a sorely needed investigation of low cost bousing needs. Both were acbieved during his term. At Councillor Lovelock's urging, Council hired a famly counsellor in iuly .of this year, and also at bis insistence, Council approved bis recommendation that a task force, comprised of private citizens, be formed to investigate the feasibility of low cost bousing. In reflection Councillor Loveiock feels the challenge of representing the citizens of the north ward bas been an enriching one, so enriching, he doubts the involvement at the grass root level can be replaced by any level of government. "My experience in public office bas taken me from involvement as a sitting member-of various town comm- ittees to a bouse - to - bouse survey in instigating new garbage collection for the north ward; from meetings of the town budget to the more specific problems of our ward members, such as baving bydro poles moved and baving faulty roads and ditches brougbt to the attention of our public works department. The solving of one problem, to me, bas not been any more important than the solving of any other as al bave reiated directly DATSUN SAVES A MIDWAY DATSUN doen't cost much to buy.

"'Having been involved as first a citizen interested in the goings - on in my community, then council represent- ative, 1 feel there bas neyer been a coming together of people of the north ward over local issues as there has- been during my term," he said. "Certainly some of my most rewarding gratifications have been the tremendous contact with the people of my ward on the telephone and the personal contact made during my private weekly drives inspecting roads around the ward." "But best of aIl is being able to see bow our communi- ties are humming with new faciities, public get - togethers, summer school and recreational facilities in areas which bave previously been ignored." 4 1"I've enjoyed it Al thoroughly, as I've said, the north ward is my kind of place, the kind of place that makes Mny open door policy a pleasure instead of just a duty of public office."
