> J More Municipal Candidates Announce Intentions S The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 15,1962 15 By Mr». Igabelle Challice R.R. 1, Hampton, Ontario LOB 1J0 September 10,1982 Dear Mr. Editor: To Whom It May Concern ' I wish to submit my name for consideration as a candidate for the Ward I Darlington Regional Council Seat in the coming November Municipal -Election. I have resided at R.R. 1, Hampton since 1972 initially as a project Manager for the Westcane Sugar Refinery, later as a consulting engineer until 1976.1 served on the Newcastle Council from 1976 to '1980. Since then I have been working in the -industrial real estate field. More recently I was appointed by the employees, and company, as •Chairman of the R.M. Hollingshead Limited Manpower Adjustment Committee to relocate the salaried and hourly workers who were released last December when the plant closed. I have remained in close touch with the operation of our Town under the present Council and feel that I can make a positive contribution to the upgrading of our municipality. My main efforts will be directed to : 1. maintaining the current tax rate 2. the elimination of needless municipal spending 3. stimulating industrial, commercial and residential residential development 4. reducing the increased expenditures of the region and school boards 5. forming an economic development committee with industrial, commercial and development knowledge to promote Newcastle's development 6. provide greater co-operation and creditability in Newcastle's Council 7. addressing the major concerns of the citizens 8. resolving taxpayers legitimate complaints Jasper W. Holliday Councillor Diane Hamre has offically announced she will seek re-election to the ward three 1 regional seat she presently holds on Newcastle's Newcastle's municipal council. The 43-year-old's introduction introduction to politics came in the last municipal election when she defeated incumbent Councillor Councillor Bill Clarke and contenders Keith Barr, Alf Gray and Harry Irwin. Mrs. Hamre is a Registered Nurse's Assistant and gave up more than three years of employment co-ordinating the town's Community Care office to enter the political arena. Summarizing her election platform, the incumbent stated, "I see the main issue is to promote the town of Newcastle Newcastle as the best. It's a great place to live, work and play and we have to keep government government spending down wherever possible and give maximum efficiency in savings to the taxpayer in order to maintain it. We have to listen to the people and give them intelligent, intelligent, involved, forthright leadership." During the 1981-82 term, Mrs. Hamre served on the following boards and committees: committees: Social Services, Board of Health, Ganaraska Conservation Authority, Orono and Newcastle Arena Boards, Newtonville and Brownsdale Hall Boards, Clarke Museum, Memorial Hospital Board, Community Services Board and the Social Planning Council. The incumbent revealed that she involves herself in volunteer work with Community Community Care's foot clinic and the Red Cross blood donor clinics. Mrs. Hamre lives in Orono with her husband Rod and four children. The family has resided in the area for seven years and . attends Orono United Church. Dear Sir; Ref. Newcastle Municipal Election After two years of following this present Council and having talked to different members in regards to their activities on Council I have officially decided that in no way can I condone this Council and their spending for a further three years. So, at this time I am stating that I, KEN HOOPER, will allow my name to stand for the office of REGIONAL COUNCILLOR IN WARD 2. It is my firm belief that this council have had no respect for your tax dollar and I feel that in this day ana age your taxes must come first, especially those on a fixed income. In the past two years, I have spent considerable time talking to THE PRESENT MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, BOTH PERSONALLY AND ON THE TELEPHONE, AND ALSO TO FORMER MEMBERS AND FORMER STAFF and have recorded certain items of importance and I feel that I can serve the interest of you the taxpayer in a far better way then is now being done. My campaign will basically consist and hinge on the issues that effect your taxes and in all probability will use all of the data that I have recorded in the last two years. I would therefore on the basis of the above allow my name to stand for the office of REGIONAL COUNCILLOR WARD 2. Signed at Bowmanville this 13th day of September, 1982. Ken Hooper Ward two (Bowmanville) local councillor Marie Hubbard has announced she will seek the Ward II Bowmanville Bowmanville regional seat in the November municipal election.

She is founding chairman of the Visual Arts Committee and past chairman of the Local Architectural Conservation Conservation Authority and Bow- manville's unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. "I believe my seeking the regional seat demonstrates that I'm interested in an orderly progression of political events. I have served at the local level and I would now like to become involved with social services, public works and planning at the regional plateau," stated Mrs. Hubbard. The 47-year-old registered nurse said it's imperative that Newcastle council do the town's bidding at the regional level as a united body. Sitting on local council during the past term, Mrs. Hubbard said there has been little communication communication transmitted relating to matters of a regional nature. She says one of her priorities priorities is to see that a representative representative from Newcastle council sits on the regional planning committee where decisions affecting the town's future are made. During the present term the regional planning committee did not include a representative from Newcastle. "The strategy of the Ministry of Intergovernmental Intergovernmental Affairs for Durham as a sub-region sets out a number of issues which need to be addressed before 1986 and I would like to be part of that," she stated.
