I xV - ' II iwdw Kinsmen Club members Randy Cruikshank and Wayne Hodge (sitting) and Gary Thompson (standing second from right) present a new stretcher to the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Division 871, Bowmanville. The new equipment was handed over to members of the brigade on Monday, July 8, at the Bowmanville Police Station. Businesses Taking Dim View Dear John: Mr. Patrick's comments comments in your July 10 edition concerning Town Labour Waste, were more than appropriate. We in the private sector can only echo loud and clear the dissatisfaction we have with a town leadership leadership that . allows such gross mismanagement of manpower. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, this municipality has experienced over the past three years, the most inept inept leadership one can remember remember over 28 years as a Bowmanville manufacturer. manufacturer. This • council, under our present mayor, cou pled with the advice of the Town Administrator, has led our community into the wilderness of wild tax increases, mismanagement mismanagement of town affairs affairs and excuses of bad press. In addition, councillors like Mrs. Hamre who openly criticize the free trade agreement should open their eyes and realize realize our country is in a global global economy. Dumb statements statements of condemnation of open markets only show how little informed they "are. When will politicians wake up to the fact that they too are in competition competition of providing efficient ly run, effective municipalities municipalities in order to attract business by competitive •tax rates and high standards standards of service? In closing, I must emphasize emphasize highly paid mediocre mediocre public service is no longer acceptable. Strong leadership is required to cut taxes and corresponding corresponding expenditures 15% over the next three years. Without that kind of commitment, commitment, the little industry industry Bowmanville has will be lost. Jurisdictions who show a willingness to meet the challenge of cost competitiveness will be the winners. Let us all remember remember 100% Realty tax increases since 1983 doubled doubled your tax bill. Inflation Inflation as registered by Stats Canada was less than 50% in comparison. Without municipal politicians politicians taking up the challenge challenge of being cost effective, effective, our community will slip into the wasteland of 3rd world conditions. Soon it will be up to the electorate to express their desires. We, in the manufacturing manufacturing community, can only trust sound judgement judgement will be exercised at the polls.

Nevertheless, he didn't panic. "My co-pilot and I together together had about 50 years of flying experience. experience. Together, we just went through the emergency emergency procedures we knew and when they didn't work we went word for word through the (plane's) manual," he said. When the manual's in structions didn't help, Nelson and his co-pilot even radioed the plane's manufacturer for some directions. However, nothing seemed to work. Mr. Nelson admitted, at that point, there was some concern and emotional emotional strain. "I didn't relish the idea of the plane breaking apart in an emergency landing," he said. The main concern then was to run the fuel down so there wouldn't be an explosion or a fire upon touchdown. The two pilots pilots circled around the airport for three hours during which time the airport manager called the fire department. The fire department wetted down the runway as a precautionary measure measure against a fire. "I can't complain," said Mr. Nelson, "I was just thankful that the fire department department was there. I felt reassured that they had the runway wetted down." The plane made a perfect perfect belly-landing and there was only minor damage to the airplane. No one was injured.
