By Shawn Marshal Despite disappointments4 and red tape, regional governmient4s giving first-rate service for the taxpayers' money, says Regionai Cliairman Walter Beath. "You get better service for your tax dollar tlian in any other level of government," lie told the Bowman- ville Lions Club on Monday niglit. Aithougli there are stili rougli edges and imperfections that need ironing out in the Region of Durham, the overaîl effect of the four-year-old government lias been positive, Beatli said. Among the benefits from the regional tax dollar is greater expertise in engineering and planning for Iong-term land use as weil as a more direct access to the province througli regional repre- sentation, lie explaîned There are 30 representati\'es on the council, with eacli councillor responsible for over 8,000 residents in serving as spokesman to higlier government authority. Meetings lield each month be- tween regional and provincial re- presentatives are part of the- package of benefits that bring more direct contact to the system for -the average resident, lie added. 'Democracy Operating under a committee system which allows the council to respond to recommendations from ail divisions of the government, tlie region is democratic in ail of its functions, lie said. In reference to difficulties with bringing in tlie regional water and sewer system and the delay in building a new sewage and water, treatment facility for the Town of Newcastle, however, the regional chairman said democracy lias its unpleasant aspects. "Democracy lias some things that we disiike at times, but when compared to the alternative, we have no choice," lie told the club. A former Reeve of East Whitby wlio was active in government for over 20 years before the region was formed, Mr. Beatli said that witliout the, restructuring of the county system, "unwise" decisions miglit have been made. Broad-Brush Approach One of the top responsibilities handed to the region was planning future land uses whicli would meet p rovincial guidelines and satisfy localiresidents also, lie added. In long-term planning, decisions are determined by factors sucli as providing the best use at the most economicai price and ensuring that the benefits are spread througli the enLîre region, lie said. In tlie case of industrial land uses, the major priority is achieving sound economic value that wili, bring financial resuits ia every area in the region. While the structure lias been revised, liowever, the region oper- ates along principles simîlar to the country system and is subject to tlie same problems as weii, Mr. Beatli said.' "It's not the total solution. But there is nothing that is wrong... that can't be improved. ", Farmers'Market. May Keep Goiing If Sponsor Found Bowmanville's colorful Farmer's Market, will probably continue to operate even thougl iit wiil be without a permanent sponsor once the Newcastle Co mmunity Con- servation Centre closes for the summer. The Community Services Commit- tee lias recommended that the town assume temporary sponsorship of the project until a suitabie candidate can be found. Sponsorship of the market involves collecting rentai fees from vendors, alloting stal spaces and supervising dlean-up. October 19 has been named as the closing date for the market which has been operating in the parking lot of the police and fire building. Thle committee's decision to keep the market alive for what is ieft of the season follows a request from the Conservation Centre that the municipality take full control of the market. Tim Barry, spokesman for the Centre, said the Centre's staff feels the municipaiity would make the best sponsor. He said the most, successful markets, sucli as the Kitchener, Lindsay and Peter- boroughi markets, are those run by the municipality. 0MB Hearing Over Development in The cl~warz brothers own most récent decisions h~a~ Although committee members expressed their su pport for the market they said they would flot want to see the town assume fulI-time sponsorship because of the number of man-hours involved and the cost of organizing the, market. It was agreed that some other com- munitygroup could be found to act as a sponsor. "I'd hate to see it die because they can't find a suitable sponsor," said Councillor Jasper Holliday. Councilior Robert Dykstra ex- pressed his reluctance in seeing the municipality assume control of the market, saying that when the project began the Conservation Centre said it wouid' find an organized group to run the market once the Centre ciosed for the summer. So far the Conservation Centre has been unsuccessfui in finding a suitabie candidate. Mr. Barry told the committee that the organization should come from an outside group to prevent any confiict of interests from occurring. He said the vendors themselves dîd not want to form a co-operative for fear that a confliet of interest and staîl locations and allotment might decided against changing the land use category. The town council agreed to give Town Manager Albert Guiler the job of arranging for' the town to be represented at the 0MB hearing. A definite date for the hearing has flot been mentioned.
