What's Your Beef? by Catherine Denny Graduate BUS-RIDE BLAHS If Voyageur won't forbid drunken fools and obnoxious obnoxious people on their buses, they should at least make them wear identification tags for the benefit of the "normal" traveller. I know, I know, they have just as much right to public transportation as the rest of us. But, does that mean to say I have to be forced to sit beside them on a crowded bus for hours on end and pretend to be enjdying their company? Sure, the booming voice and crude comments are great fun at parties (if you like that sort of thing) but these antics just don't go over well on a bus full of strangers who paid good money to have a relaxing ride home. Just last week one of my colleagues found herself trapped in one of these awful predicaments where the Voyageur was filled like a can of sardines. It was hot, people were standing in the aisles and sitting on suitcases, suitcases, and, topping it all off, was one boisterous and alcohol-laden alcohol-laden man. This guy was stammering all over the place, burping, singing, falling, insulting 1 people, and generally turning turning an uncomfortable trip into an unbearable one. Now, if this were an iso-, lated instance the bus lines could be excused. But it's not. Can you remember ever having taken a bus .trip without picking up at least ' one big-mouthed goof along the way? I'm not saying they should be banned entirely from the system but it would certainly certainly save a lot of embarrassment embarrassment and irate custom- ' ers if the buses would simply simply tag their passengers according according to personality and alcohol level. That way at least we have a fighting chance of avoiding them. YAPPY DOGS What about these people who allow their canines to howl the night away? Are they so immune to their pet's cry that they don't hear it anymore or do they just go to sleep with head phones on? Surely to goodness these people aren't aware of the pooch's wails or they would go outside and do something something about it -- or at least they should before a neighbour neighbour does something about it for them. One woman who recently voiced her "beef' on the subject was sick and tired of having to put up with sleepless nights due to the inconsideration of the dog owners next door. Maybe THEY can tolerate the screeching and chain- rattling that goes on until the wee hours of the morning, morning, but what about all the others on the block who need a bit of shut-eye before before going to work in the morning? If these dog-lovers wantto keep their pets from getting a blast of buckshot, I'd suggest they either put Rover in the basement when he's acting up or give the neighbours some of whatever's been keeping them asleep all these noisy evenings.

But action taken by town council Monday night should help solve the problem. Newcastle council has asked its staff to consider consider the installation of signs at all new subdivisions subdivisions outlining the uses planned for adjacent blocks of vacant land. In response to an inquiry inquiry from Councillor Ann Cowman, the town's director of planning suggested that the signs could be required as part of the municipality's municipality's subdivision agreements. agreements. They would be installed installed by the developer. The question surfaced at this week's council meeting when a delegation delegation from the Schleiss and Holland Subdivi sion in Courtice appeared appeared before council to ask that 33 townhouse units not be permitted on two parcels of land within their neighbourhood. neighbourhood. The land in question has been zoned for town- houses. But Michael Majeste, a spokesman for residents in the area, said many home purchasers purchasers were under the impression that the land would be used for park purposes. "In our collective view, we feel this will diminish diminish the value of property property in this area," the Cloverfield St. resident explained. The residents residents asked that single family dwellings replace the townhouse proposal at this site. Mr. Majeste expressed the view that home buyers should have access access to a complete plan for their neighbourhood when they purchase their home. Councillor Ann Cowman Cowman suggested that "In the future we could avoid this kind of distress distress and confusion." She introduced a resolution resolution which would require require developers to post plans for adjacent land use on signs within their subdivision. Staff will investigate the merits of the idea and report back to council council at a later date. . Later Monday night, council voted to retain the zoning which would allow townhouses at the site in question. A resolution resolution which would have replaced the town- houses with approximately approximately 18 single family dwellings was rejected. In a report to council, Planning Director Terry Edwards stated that the developer would consider consider the change from townhouse units to single family dwellings provided that the alteration alteration docs not result in undue delay in the development development of the plan. The municipal planning planning staff, however, did not recommend such action. action. "...We do not support support such a change and it is our opinion that deletion deletion of medium density housing opportunities would be contrary to good planning and inconsistent inconsistent with the intent intent of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle Official Plan," said Planning Director Tcrrv Edwards.

And after lengthy in camera discussions discussions Monday night, council has put the re-organization on hold. Mayor Winters told council that a 1981 by-law requires the mayor and a committee of staff members to review review any new job evaluations. But he warned that such a committee committee never met. "The mayor was never advised that such a committee existed," he said. "I would suggest to you that we are dealing with a report that is in contravention contravention of your own by-law," he told council when members attempted to consider confidential recommendations recommendations related to the review and restructuring restructuring of the clerk, treasury, planning, and community services departments. Mayor Winters, who had asked Councillor Ann Cowman to chair a portion of the meeting so that he could make his comments, failed to have the issue deferred. He then attempted to directly explain.his explain.his views to the audience, but was told by the acting chairman that he could not do so. "I think ÿchir statement to the public public is very mlsleadjng," said Council lor Diane Hamre. She added that all the required parties were present at a previous committee meeting when the topic was discussed. She also objected to his attempt to directly address the public in attendance, attendance, calling such an appeal "unheard "unheard of'. After discussing the staffing reports reports in camera until close to midnight midnight Monday, members of council finally finally resolved that a committee of the mayor, the clerk, the treasurer, and deputy director of community services services will discuss the confidential report report and make recommendations. Council also agreed, following in camera discussion that future meetings meetings of the staffs management committee committee will be open to members of council. In the past, these meetings were closed to elected officials, although although a councillor or the mayor could be invited to attend a management management meeting to discuss a particular issue. The mayor said following Monday's meeting that he believes council must retain its representative nature and that council must play a top role in hiring, evaluating, and rewarding the performance of senior administrators. administrators. "I believe that effective corporate management requires adapting to change., Both administrators and councillors need to remain in touch with the public," Mayor Winters said. 4.4 lb.
