And like every year, we come up with: a series of promises we make to ourselves and others in the hope of making our lives a little bit better. People in the publiceye are no different from the rest of us. We all have something which we vow to do at the start of a fresh, new year. The Port Perry Star contacted some of these people to see what their New Year's resolutions were.

Floor, Uxbridge Ontario Township in spite of the fiscal restraints placed upon the de- partment as a result of the So- cial Contract and the ever in- creasing call load facing the volunteer firefighters. Howard Hall, Mayor, Township of Scugog If you don't make resolutions, you'll never break them. Sol am very careful about what I say. So by the same token, I think everybody strives to be better in the coming year than in the past year. To be a better human be- Ing, more compassionate and considerate of others. Those are the important things today. From a politician's point of lower taxes to stress reduction view, one's always very con- scious of the tax situation and do everything in one's power to see that there are no major tax increases of any sort. Gary Herrema, Chairman, Region of Durham My New Year's resolution is not to increase taxes for any- body. Alex Shepherd, MP, Durham Riding I don't necessarily make yeso- lutions. I'm more goal oriented. One of my goalsis to try to adapt our society to more of the struc- tural changes occurring in the economy right now.
