Agricultural Happenings by Chris Clark Municipal candidates in Ward Three, along with the three Town of Newcastle mayoralty candidates faced a barrage of questions, largely on the environment, in a Newcastle Village all-candidates' meeting last Thursday night. Sponsored jointly by the Citizens for a Safe Environment, the Committee Committee of Clarke Constituents, and the Port Granby Monitoring Committee, the forum brought together many, but not all, of the people who will be on the ballot in Ward Three on November 14. After each candidate made an opening statement of not more than five minutes, the floor was open to questions, and there were plenty. The vast majority of the queries were directed directed at the three mayoralty hopefuls, Local Councillor Hal McKnight, and Regional Councillors Ann Cowman and Marie Hubbard. The first of these three to speak was Mrs. Hubbard, and she promised to "set high standards of credibility and performance." She suggested that "this election is about leadership and experience at the local and regional level." Mrs. Cowman spoke next and pledged that "every constituent will be treated eaually, and decisions will not be made behind closed doors." Reflecting Reflecting on her record as a councillor, she said, "I listened to the people of Newcastle, and I do what I can to help constituents." Mr. McKnight stated: "I believe in teamwork ana team effort to get results. results. This has been my business and E rofessional background. This will e my approach with your new council in December." Although both Ward Three Councillors Councillors have been acclaimed, Frank Stapleton (local councillor) and Diane Hamre (regional councillor) were present to thank their constituents constituents for their encouragement and support in the past three years and to pledge continued service in the next term. The three candidates running for positions as trustees on the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Public School Board were also in attendance. Bill Carman reminded the audience that he has been an trustee since 1961. "Now that I'm semi-retired it allows for more time," he said, citing a general general interest in education and a concern concern about the cost and quality of education education as issues which concern him enough to run again. In responding to a question about class sizes, the incumbent incumbent said that, "I don't think class size is really a problem in Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle." Debbie Nowlan, a newcomer to municipal municipal politics, stressed that "we're in an area of considerable growth, and we need to be on our toes to avoid letting the quality of our education drop as costs rise." She also outlined a program for recycling which would team children to sort garbage for recycling. recycling. This, she predicted, would "teach children that recycling is a way of life." She supported any initiative initiative to use recycled paper in the Board's schools. The third school board candidate, John Smithson, began by reporting, "we're very pleased with the current system my daughters are in." He said he hoped to be elected to help continue continue the system. The candidate also pledged that "one of my top priorities is to get the (Kendal) school opened. I have seen the school and its a shame ! that its closed," he said. Only one of the four Roman Catholic Catholic Separate School Board candidates was present. Alan Bayliss said that "my main concern for seeking re- election is continuing the catholicity of the system and also improving it. I'd like to see more communication between schools and between parents." parents."

Bill Tomlinson said, "I can contribute something to this town, especially especially with the Hydro situation. Those people paying rural rates in communities of over 1000, its not fair." Fred Gardiner stressed his lifelong lifelong experience "working with public utilities and hydro systems." He suggested suggested that trips to Japan, Argentina, and Brazil giving technical presentations presentations further qualified him for the job of P.U.C. trustee. He promised to "work to achieve one (hydro) system" because "there are inequities in the distribution of hydro in Newcastle." The mayor of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle is the fifth member of the Hydro Commission, and the three would-be mayors also pledged to work toward a single hydro system. Mrs. Cowman said that she would like to find $13.5 million to allow Newcastle Hydro to purchase the necessary equipment from Ontario Hydro. Mrs. Hubbard said gravel pit developers developers should "pay their way and clean up their act or get out." And all three candidates pledged to restrict ' any expansion of the LaidlaW landfill landfill sites north of Newton ville.
