Later Edwards also said he would favor a "place" for young people. Gomille, a high school English' teacher, who said she was con- sidering running in the federal election but was persuaded to instead try locally, said thequa- lity she had to offer was «'vision,"~ which she said was "iackinq in this area, and in this country.' She said that, as politician, she would not "receive and file," and would "stormi the barricades of apathy, arrogance, buck-passing, secrecy and short-sightedness." Brunelle, centre ward courcil- lor for six y ears, said there must be more Regon involvement in Whitby's traffic problems. He also urged that the polcie station in Whitby be open 24 hours a day, just one of the services that has to be extended as Whitby keeps growing. . But in concludting. he said that despite growth, "Whtby has a sense of identity and a small town look," and he urged partici- pation in town development rather than reïarding it as a "cs petator sport. Drumm, currently east ward councillor, described himself as one who "always makes a deci- sion, even if it displeases my neighbor." In bis opening state- ment, he wasted not time in blaming regional council of doing nothing in 15 years to find a site a new landfill site, but instead "licking Metro's boots» for 15 years. "I'll do what I always done on council - lIl say it like it," said Drumm. He later pointed out bis DURHAM REDUCTION' REUSE RECYCLING RECOVERY LEAF COMPOSTING PROJEOT To demonstrate that organic yard wastes can be recycled into a useful produot, the Region of Durham and the Town of Whitby request the householders in the designated parts of town to collect their leaves in these clear biodegradable plastic bags or rake them ta the curb orditch. The accumulated leaves will be collected and taken ta the Regional Composting Site during the annual leaf collection program. The final compost material will be ready and available free af charge ta the residents of Whitby next year in the faîl. Compost is very useful when added ta soil and in many cases this chemical-free material can effectively substitute for commercial fertilizer. IMPORTANT Leaf collection Information Baaged leaves should be put out on Monday, November 7 Leaves rakedta -the curb or ditch will be picked Up during November 7 ta 10 For addtional information please Elaine Collis or Waste Reduction Facilitator Regioni of Durham Telephone: 668-7721 contact: Andrew Lapinski Waste Reduction Co-ordinatar Region af Durham Telephone: 668-7721 votes on council: against the medical centre building on Dun- das St. W. in the downtown; against the downtown secondary pi an stu dy because it could mean closing Green St. ("Heaven help Athol if the do that") ; against the Perez Cor development at Manning and B ock; and against strip par ors. Drurnm also said he supports Graywood's Durham Heights development at Rossland and Garden St. because it willpo vide 3,000 jobs and more shiop- ping area in Whitby. Edwards, the incumbent, who often recalls Whitby's past, began by mentioning bhis first election in 1959 to school board and then mentioned how little interest was shown in the battie between Oshawa and Whitby over the Region headquarters In response to a question about inlaw a partments , he said there is an obligation to provide sub- sidized housing suc as in the recently opened Durham Chris- tian Homes development on Glen Hill Dr. In his final statement, he said that he would like to see completion of improvements to Fairview Lodge and would favor a young people's facility, another icepad and another pool. "t might inean more taxes, but I'm prepared to support them to make the community-better." In her opening statement, Gomille mentioned about 10 issues that could be addressed, including waiving parking fees. downtown on Friday; resisting spot zoning; providing affordable housing; retaining medium- density residential zoning rather recycling; and establishing a nuclear monitoring committee.
