Mil Sam Cureatz, councillors Frank Stapleton and Pat JDeegan and Mayor Marie Hubbard all helped dur- still performed. Its services range from cash back cash returns on income tax to assistance assistance in filing regular income income tax returns. The other half of the business, business, the financial services operation, helps people find the best form of investment available. "It's like one-stop shopping shopping for the person who wants to do investing," Barbara Barbara Willis said. The firm acts as an investment investment broker or agency with roughly 24 different trust companies. Willis Financial Services is able to determine which companies have the best rate of interest each day by get- 1 tww ing the ceremony. The business is owned by Barbara and Hank Willis and the Bowmanville office is managed by their son, John Willis. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's the value of a stuffed seagull? To Sam Cureatz, MPP for Durham East, the stuffed bird that he brought to the Legislature last week gained a lot of exposure. And, it drew to the attention attention of the public and politicians the difficulties created by garbage dumps. Scavenging gulls are, after all, just one headache associated with dump sites. Last Tuesday Mr. Cureatz set Queen's Park laughing when he produced produced a stuffed seagull, which he called Bradley Seagull ("Or BS for short") in honour of the Minister of the Environment, Jim Bradley. The seagull even sported a red tie, a symbol symbol of the Liberal party. Prior to producing the quilted seagull, seagull, Mr. Cureatz showed a photograph photograph of himself, taken at a landfill site in Mr. Bradley's riding of St. Catharines. Included in the photo were numerous numerous seagulls that were attracted to the site. Mr. Cureatz told The Statesman he had visited the dumpsite in the Minister's Minister's riding last fall and saw that there was a definite problem with seagulls seagulls at the site. Mr. Cureatz recalled that the Minister Minister has said a properly run landfill site wouldn't attract the scavenging birds. After producing the photo of the St. Catharines area dump, Mr. Cureatz asked the Minister if this was a dump that was run properly. When he finally introduced the seagull (it is roughly three feet across with its wings open) Mr. Cureatz said MPPs howled with laughter while a legislative page delivered the gift to Mr. Bradley. The point of the exercise, Mr. Cureatz Cureatz says, was to make a visual impact impact on the Minister and to solicit a guarantee from Mr. Bradley that if Metro Toronto chose the proposed N1 site in Courtice for their garbage, that the area will undergo a full environmental environmental assessment hearing. "Unfortunately, the minister didn't specifically guarantee a full hearing," Mr. Cureatz said.

The budget currently is being prepared by Town staff; but Councillor Ken Hooper raised objections to the probable increase at Monday's Council meeting. One of seven broad guidelines instructed staff to aim for an increase of approximately approximately 4.5 per cent - an amount in line with the current rate of inflation. Councillor Hooper said, "the word 'approximately' bothers bothers me. Things rarely go below below approximately, but usually usually go higher." He also stated that "we should make the budget according according to our needs. 1 don't like a blanket increase and I can't support it." Councillor Diane Hamre told Mr. Hooper that "we're saying that staff will make a budget with a maximum 4.5 percent increase." She added that Council reviews every line of any proposed budget, saying "we make the final decision." In response to Mr. Hooper's Hooper's complaint that he and other new councillors are unaware of expenditures made last year and, therefore, therefore, cannot agree to the guideline calling for an increase, increase, Mayor Hubbard said that past years' budgets and documents are available to any councillor who wishes them. The Mayor also offered observations on the entire budget process. "We're in the big time now, and the budget will be a very sophisticated document. 1 think some councillors will be very surprised surprised at the level of sophistication sophistication of the budget."
