Through your column I would appreciate the opportunity to address the taxpayers of Ward 3, Town of Newcastle. Thank you in advance. To the Citizens of Ward 3, On Mon., July 25, 1983 council once again, on a 3-3 vote, turned down a motion to fill the vacant seat on council through the election process. Prior to the meeting I had received an overwhelming number of calls in support of an election and opposed to appointment. After many, many hours of deliberation on my part, taking into very careful consideration the many opinions I had heard from the people on this issue, it was Margaret Ewert, Jayne Noble and Gary Schmid led in the singing of Lord, Teach Us to Pray. Rev. Donald Stiles preached a sermon on the Christian word, Love. Next Sunday, July 31, the combined eongregations.of jOrono, Kirby and Newcastle will worship at Kirby United Church at 10:30 a.m. For pastoral services during August, contact Rev. Wayne Wright of Orono. quite evident that for me to take part in the appointment process would achieve nothing in support of democracy and in fact, could, serve to split Ward 3. The other negative possibility was my supporting through the appointment process someone in the minority thus hampering the working relationship between the new appointee and myself. The taxpayers of Ward 3 need to be united and their elected representatives must work together if we are to achieve positive results. In my opinion, that should be the desired goal of the whole of Newcastle and its council. In the interests of unity and a positive working relationship with the newly appointed local councillor for Ward 3,1 vacated my chair for the balance of the meeting, promising council to work together in a positive manner with whomever they chose. It was the only way I could see of not splitting our Ward on what was a very serious matter. • Sincerly & Respectfully, Diane Hamre Regional Councillor Ward 3 •'/ '..iff < : i : h i THERE'S hïm K FfiTlMi!: & A fHVf $IM t***'"*^ w ^ iLff ■ HOME OF THE FUEL ECONOMY CAR.

Scott says he. always wanted to be a professional clown and when an acquaintance offered him work he jumped at the chance. "I thought I might as well take the plunge and try to make a living at it," he stated. The pair admits that breaking breaking into the business is a tough struggle but the challenge has failed to diminish the appeal that circus life and performing performing holds for them. "We can't quit now," said Scott. "We've got too much money invested in it." The duo travels with a new truck and a large trailer designed to transport transport a host of props and the animal act entourage. It's apparent the two are hooked on the circus scene.
