(Mr. Edwards was referring to Whitby Couincil's decision f0 have the vacancy fidied by election rather than a ppointment.) The only de- cfared candidate that 1 know 50 far is Warren Mowat.' 12+» ruling out himself as a candidate, Couincillor Ed- wards said 'I've always hceld that the mayor's job and the regional councilor's job (the mayor of each munici- pality in the region serves on regional council) are fuil-time occupations and it means that 1 would have to give up my present employment'. He is a representative for the Canadian Union of Public Employees who negotiates on behalf of health care workers. 'It's too great a burden to place on my family and under the present circumstancsI can carry out my job, my employment obligations and also play a role in the life of our com- munity. That is what 1 enjoy doing and that is what 1 want to continue doing. Those are the reasons why'. YOUNG HOPEF UL : Nobody can re'plaice Des Newman Graydon Colvijie, if not j one of the rnost welI-knownÉ candidates in the contesf forE mayoralty, is cerf ainly one oft the youngest. Mr. Colvile, 29, a resident of Whitby for 1 5 years, deci-r ded f0 confest tfl irayoraltyt for several reasons.t First and foremost, he says was the 'hassle I went through to get my taxi licence renewed'. Mr. Colvil1le appear- ed several times before Whitby Council for the licence renewal but was re- peatedly turned down for liquor violations. He was granted flie' renewai last month, ending the 'hassies' whichi had been going on since January. Mr. Colville aiso feels that the present counicil is 'incom- petent'. He says '(Councillors Gerry) Ernm, (Jirn) Gartshore and (Joy) Thompson seem to mun the show. The others are like a bunch ofmrummies'. He said the present coun- cilors 'are afraid of offending people. I wouldn't ..be.- t'd ORGAN & jsiàt carry the town. rîiake the their mone: ouf the business of' If 1 was nmayor, 'd coundilors earn 1 Y . If Mr. Colville did becomne mayor, he says he would sec f0 if that more sports fadili- tics, mnust nofably tennis courts, were budt, especially in Brooklin. He adds that he would make the exisfing fa- iities more accessible to the public. In addition, Mr. Colville would put the collar on 'landlords who take advantage of tenants' by charging exor- bitant rents and failîng to repair defects in the dwellings. Mr. Colvflle feels thaf al thic people whosc names have been bandied- about as, possible candidates for the mayor's position are jusf interested in the moncy'. He adds that 'none of them, myseif included, arc vcry impressive. Noone will be able to replace (former mnayor- Des) Newman for l'il wait until October 27 Councillor Don Lovelock does not intend to make public his decision on whcther or not he will con- test the upcoming ciection for Whitby mayor until Octo- ber 27, dic date that thec members of council mutually agrced upon as a dcadline for tcndering resignations to show that they intend f0 seek the position.
