" Although the municipality has shown a high degree of accomplishment in many areas under Rickard's leader- ship, he admitted "there are things we could and should have done particularly in the area of planning." During his years as mayor, he said he has worked continually to bring ail areas of the municipalîty together as one. But in doing so, he stresses he doesn't want the individual communities which form the Town of Newcastle to lose their unique individuality. Recognizing their different characteristics, h e encourages each of themn to develop community pride and continue to strengthen their social structures.

The înterest 2nd innuiries the town bas had regarding industrial develop- ment "is evidence of the confidence people have in this municipality. " If re-elected, Mr. Riekarci said he would like to see "the redevelopment of urban centres, which has already been started in Bowmanville, continued in other communities in the municipality." He also sees a need for "greater emphasis on types of housing, in particular senior citizen housing and provision of the necessary services." He proposes to tackle the problems of waste disposaI and recycling of energy reserves and plans to establish an information centre which would answer queries concerning services available throughout the area. As for reaional izovernment, Mayor Rickard said "the Town of Newcastle shoulci be very proud of what it has accomplished, within this forum in analyzing the picture of the total region, Newcastle has fared extremely well. We've received many benefits and this has been accomplîsh- ed by consistent co-operation with the regional people and the establishment of a high degreeoftrespect for whatwve have needed.", The fourth generation of six who have lived on the Rickard farm at R.R. 4, Bowmanville, Mayor Rickard is married with two sons James and Donald.

A very strong believer in the involvement of people in the total decision-making process, Mayor Rickard saîd he believes "leadership should be demonstrated not by the amount of noise one makes but by the responsibility given to members of council and the involvement of staff members in doing research work for you."ý V*ýe'te d pegtnl99t MiiOPTICAL .ounouf IRENE McROBE RT, Dispensina Optician 30 KING ST.
