PAGE 8, WHJBYFREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1989 Commn1ittee idenied vote on envirônmenta issues By Trudie Zavadovie The Region's waste manage- ment committee gave a fiat, emphatic no to a request by the public liaison committee to vote on waste management environ- mental issues. The request came from Whitby resident Shirley Scott, a member of the public liaison comnmittee, who was quick to add, «We are not requesting a vote to discuss other issues. We want to sit at the table with you. Chairman John Aker expressed obvious surprise at the request and said- in order to qualify for a voteon the commit- tee, "'you must run for -election Nov. 12, 1991 and win.» «We are people and represent the region," said Scott.. "WVe are elected to represent you,» said Oshawa councillor Linda Dionne. "'I have been lis. tening to other lobbying groups for four years. It would b e a disservice to other organizations who deal with -issues of finance and property. We are an elected body representing the ratepayers of Durham Region. That's how it should stay." "I understand needing to know andj-ia ' e input withh e waste ,.n! a,«,ement committeeý"_said WhitLy. councillor Marcel Brunéfle. 'I don't understand the need to vote. You do need a voice iand do need to know that we are. .listening. The, waste nianage- ment committee's intention has always been to hear what the liaison committee has to say.»-' Vie have direct accountabi- lity,» said Aker. "If we're not accountable, we are removed from office "'The waste management com- mittee was happy to grant the public liaison committee's other request that a member or mem- bers of the waste management commjittee attend 'a meeting of the public liaison committee in the near future. .Aker -said that they would Lie pleased to attend providing they were given advanced notice of the meeting.

MAINTENANCE LTD. 500 HOPKINS ST., WHITBY 666-1224 -When budding entrepreneurs are thinking about goiitg on their own, their biggest concerns are probably flnancing, employees anid trying te, predict the demand for their product or service. Chances are, 'Ikeeçnig the bookd' is the last thing t ey're thinking about. But small business people can eaiysave themselves lots of griefdn the road if they inveet a few hours at the outset deterniining what records should be kept and learning how te, keep them. Keping stmple, but accurate, finanial rrd is more than just another headache. They *rvde a constant monitor of how the business is doing, they make tax time less painful and when interpreted properly, can tell the owner how -te, manage the business more profltably. Small business consultants urge the owner-operater te get help with the books if he or she doesn't have the time, desire or ability to, keep decent records. The task can be delIegated te a suitable employee or another qua]ifled person. A qlanoe in the yellow pages under bookkeeping services" or "accountants" will also provide a long list of r oessionals. In a- small town, a ocal- banker can also refer the owner to an appropriate accountant or bookkeeper. Good records fr-om a recognized local accountant will also make it easier te deal with the bank if flnancing becomes necessary. The type of records that have te be kept will, obviously, vary from.,business te business. But the basics are constant. There are four general categories -of records: daily, entrjes, recurring entriesý, month end entries and year end entries. As the name suggests, the dal records keep track of the cas coming in and going, out on a daily basis, includinig purchases and sales made on credit. Recurring entries are things like payrol payments on flxed assets, bak payments, insurance premims sales tax remittances te the province and the owner's investments in and withdrawals from the business. Monthly records include a summary of income and expenses, a liat of bad debts and- the amount of mnventery on hand. At the end of the year, an income statement and balance sheet should be prepared, the total employee earnings must be added up and the T4s compiled. And when the company's books are finished, the business person will be ready to, file for personal income tax. To take fuil advantage of this information at the end of the year, it is often useful te set aside more time te, study the data and prepare a buiness plan for the upcoming year.
