This budget has resulted in an increase of 14.04 percent in the mill rate across the jurisdiction with a 15.10 percent increase within the Town of Newcastle. It is not an increase that makes me, as a Trustee or an individual taxpayer, particularly particularly happy. I dare say that none of my colleagues was pleased either. I do believe it is the best that could be done given all of the factors that had to be considered. These factors were many, but the main ones considered were provincial grants, fixed expenditures, expenditures, areas of possible reduction, and the Needs of the Child. I make no apologies to anyone when it comes to emphasizing the needs of our children. I've said it before and I'll say it again - we must not sell ourselves short by taking the easy, short term route at the expense of long term benefits to society. That's exactly what happens when you start randomly hacking programs without clearly knowing the long term effects of such action. Let's consider exactly what happened to produce this budget increase which some feel is higher than it should be. The 15.10 percent increase in the local mill rate is an honest figure, for that's the basis on which you and I are asked to pay additional taxes. But, there are other figures that you should be aware of that will put the total budget in a more balanced light. What was the percentage increase over the 1982 budget? In the elementary panel it is an increase increase of 8.36 percent and in the secondary panel it repre sents an increase of 7.87 percent. percent. Combined this is an overall overall increase over the 1982 budget of 8.13 percent. But what does the 1983 budget look like when compared to the actual expenditures of the Board of 1982? Well, in the elementary panel, the 1983 budget is a 6.57 increase and in the secondary panel it represents represents a 5.60 percent increase over the Actual Expenses of the Board in 1982. Combined, the 1983 budget is a 6.11 percent percent increase over actual expenditures expenditures made by the Board in 1982. A 6.11 percent increase over actual costs of the prior year hardly represents irresponsible irresponsible spending. I am sure some may say - "that's fine, the Board is. only 6.11 percent over last year's expenditures but you didn't stick to your budget." Fair enough question. Several factors impacted the 1982 budget causing the deficit of some $723,000, which by the way, represents about 3.8 percent of the 1983 local mill rate increase. One factor was a 53 percent increase in Board costs for unemployment insurance premiums and another another being a 17 percent increase increase in OHIP premiums. It would be nice to tell the other levels of governments we can't pay the increases. The provincial government threw an unplanned seven percent increase at us by adding sales tax on educational supplies. That tax, by the way, bothers me a great deal. You pay income tax to the province which in turn uses that money to support education. We take that money to buy supplies and the government says thank you very much, we'll take seven percent back. Tax on tax - an obscenity! The treasurer had an opportunity 9th Beavers, Cubs Scouts Plant Spuds On Mayor's Farm On Thursday about 80 Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and their parents "invaded" Mayor Rickard's farm on Highway 2 to plant potatoes. Each boy planted a seed potato and marked it with a' stake bearing his name. The crop will be dug up next fall ana the boy whose plant has produced the largest yield, the largest potato and also the funniest shaped potato will receive a prize. All who took part agreed this was a different kind of meeting - a learning experience experience - and each boy has the opportunity to make a followup followup visit to check on the progress progress his plant is making. The 9th Bowmanville Scout Group would like to thank Mayor Rickard for making Racing Pigeon Results The Bowmanville Invitational Invitational Racing Pigeon Club flew two races again this week.

Minister Visits Region By Peter Parrott Ontario's minister of community community and social services will be paying a visit to the Durham Region this month. Councillor Diane Hamre, chairman of Durham's social services committee, told regional regional council last week that Frank Drea will meet with Durham's regional council on; Thursday, June 16. The meeting is scheduled to take place at regional council chambers commencing at 10 a.m. All members of council have been asked to attend. f ay to correct this situation by removing it in the best budget - he didn't remove it. Instead, he felt it was more important to remove the tax from carpeting carpeting and appliances. I do not share his priorities. In addition to the other increases mentioned, the Board had to cope with a wide range of price increases on equipment, supplies and utilities utilities which were higher than anticipated. There was also a significant loss of revenue in tax write-offs beyond those expected, A budget is a planning planning document designed as guide for the coming year. Unfortunately, the year was one where abnormal increases impacted the well laid plans. Our increase might have been lower if we had postponed covering the deficit. But, why pay out more interest and only add to the costs of the Board? I could go on in greater detail to explain this year's budget. However, I do want you to understand that a great deal of concern was registered and reflected in this year's budget. We do need to do bétter. Beginning immediately, immediately, planning for next year will be undertaken. Careful analysis analysis of the needs of the system will be made. If we are to cope in today's world, radical and innovative methods must be employed to accomplish our goals in a more efficient manner. Like industry, we must learn to increase quality at a reduced cost. On May 19 we held a special meeting of the Board with all municipalities in the area invited invited to attend to discuss the Board's budget. The evening was worthwhile to some extent. While some of the municipal representatives from the east were more concerned concerned about improving their own image than sharing the common concern a number of mutual areas were recognized. recognized. I was appalled that not one single representative from the Town of Newcastle took the time to attend. Problems cannot cannot be solved unless dialogue occurs! The matter of co-op transita transita tion was discussed at the last Board meeting. A special meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 8,1983, 7:30 p.m. at the Board Offices. Any recommendation from that meeting will be confirmed at the Board meeting on June 9, ' 1983. You are welcome to attend both of these meetings. Hopefully, a solution to resolve resolve this very important matter will be found. We cannot cannot afford to lose co-op transportation. transportation. I'd like to thank Sam Cureatz for his support' and interest in approaching the Minister about Co-op. I feel the discussions must continue continue however, to bring about a long term solution. In closing, I wish all students every success as they prepare for the year's final exam crunch. Work hard at it and you'll enjoy summer that much more. poi las m.UmVJ.YÆ'/A I i'/:»«7.T7i/7.S HOME OF THE FUEL ECONOMY CAR.
