WHITBY FREE PRESS' WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER il, 1985. PAGE 27 Marcel Brunelle.... Centre Ward councillor will try By SUSAN LESJAK Free Press Staff Councillor Marcel Brunelle announced his intention this week to seek re-election as the Centre Ward represen- tation on Whitby Town Council. Brunelle, 43, was first elected to council in 1982. While a novice only three years ago, the Centre Ward incumbent said he was coming before the people now, with "a broader, more meaningful vision of what the town can and mustbe." A large part of Brunelle's vision for the town involves vigorous growth and economic progress. He praised the outgoing council for its determination "to at- tract new and vital commercial and in- dustrial entreprises to Whitby," crediting this determination with bringing on the "new prosperity" enjoyed today. "Good planning, sound fiscal management and agressive marketing strategies gave us a zero tax increase this ear - a measure in which I am confident will be repeated in 1986," he said. As 1985 budget chief, Brunelle viewed his role in striking a tight budge as the paramount achievement of his freshman term. Furthermore, he maintains, that a tax reduction "is not seen as an impossibility" next year. Another achievement cite by the councillor was his success in get- ting the municipality to carry out $2 million wor- th of public works projects in his ward. Under local im- provement plans, many roads, sidewalks and storm sewers in the cen- tre ward have been tepaired or newly in- stalled in the past 2 years, said Brunelle. A strong advocate of development in the Port Bugelli to run agam Joe Bugelli will try for a fourth term as the west ward represen- tative on Whitby Town Council this Nov. 12. Bugelli was first elec- ted to council in 1978. The Francis St. resident is vice- president of Computer Composition of Canada. He is currently chairman of council's administrative commit- tee which is responsible for all planning matters. Last year, he was chairman of the operations committee. Bugelli has also been one of the town's two representatives on the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and served-two terms on the executive of the Association of Municipalities of On- tario. for second term Whitby area, the comn- cillor expressed satisfaction with the recent completion of the Corbett Creek-Pringle Creek Diversion Sewer project and the in- clusion of the Port Whitby Secondary Plan An thet nwn's nfficial Whitby." While Brunelle's forecast for the town was rosy, he said Whit- by's future and prosperity was not something to take for granted. Indicating that he was ready to work to mnke his "vision" come MARCEL BRUNELLE plan. "I truly feel Port Whitby's time has come," he said. "The completion of the new Brock St. CNR overpass and the development of GO-ALRT will bring new people, new business and a new sen- se of community to the original wellspring of true, he said he was prepared for the challenges that lay ahead. Marcel Brunelle lives on Donovan Cres. with his wife Shirley and their three sons. He is the only can- didate to have declared so far in the centre ward. Drumm protesting lack of letter carrier service in parts of the east ward By MICHAEL KNELL Free Press Staff The lack of doorstep mail delivery to many new homes in the East Ward has angered Coun. Joe Drumm. Drumm is so dissatisfied with area mail delivery that he has written a letter of protest to the chairman of the Canada Post Cor- poration's review com- mittee. "As a member of the Whitby Town Council, I am appalled by the manner in which Canada Post treats new residents to our com- munity," Drumm said in his letter. "The lack of mail delivery and the installation of green 'boxes' in the newer parts of our community is asinine. "Mail delivery," he added, "long considered as a part of every day life seems to be looked upon by Canada Post as just a nuisance." Drumm told the Free Press that many of the newer subdivisions are especially hard bit by the lack of mail service. Residents in the Grand Oak Homes subdivision, the Ribblesdale Dr. area, the new Costain development on Rossland Rd. and parts of Pringle Creek are without the service. "Some people have lived there for over a year and still have no hope of postal delivery," he said ad- ding that they have to pick up their mail at the post office at the corner of Dundas and Perry Sts. "And we've got a tremendous problem with parking around the post office," he said. While he conceded that many of the newer homes in the western areas of town are now receiving letter carrier service, he added, "it's just not enough." The councillor is also extremely critical of Canada Post. "Providing mail ser- vice is as Canadian as Macintosh apples," he said, "Canada Post isn't even trying to keep up with the new sub- divisions. They're not even making the ef- fort." In his letter to the review committee, Drumm said that if the Crown corporation was trying to implement let- ter carrier services to these areas, their own reputation would be greatly enhanced. "I believe very strongly," he said, "that the very first priority of Canada Post should be mail delivery to all and I might add this would go a long way towards lessening the ill-will felt by many of our citizens towards your cor- poration."
