A third candidate has announced announced his intention to run for the position of regional councillor in Ward Three. John Blogg, a Newcastle Village resident, has 20 years' experience as a lobbyist lobbyist and spokesman. He is currently the secretary and manager of industrial relations relations for a major trade association. association. "The town and the region need somebody with experience experience in mending fences and healing wounds," said Mr. Blogg; Getting the various groups in the municipality to work together would be among Mr. Bloggs' main objectives. objectives. But he also sees the need to develop an industrial strategy which would attract attract light industry and small business. He describes the process of attracting business as a matter of negotiations. negotiations. "You've got to start talking to people," he explained, adding that such discussions can determine what the people of the municipality municipality expect and what the businesses interested in re-locating require. In reference to some of the local issues within the ward, Mr. Blogg stated that obtaining a sewer system for the village of Orono is a main objective. He says it's "incomprehensible" why the village doesn't have one already. already. The candidate also wants to see railway crossings in the village replaced by overpasses overpasses or underpasses. This would improve general safety safety and also eliminate the noisy whistle-blowing which disturbs the sleep of many residents. The future of the former ost office building and the brmer J.

Richards Everyone over the age of 18 years should have a will, said a local businessman at the Bowmanville Rotary Club luncheon on Thursday, Aug. 15. "I have had 22 years in the funeral service and know that people have problems problems in four areas with estates," estates," said Paul Morris. Answering a series of questions he has been asked over a number of years, Mr. Morris provided the Rotary Club's Past President's Day luncheon at the Flying Dutchman with estate information. information. "I am always amazed with how many people don't have wills," he told club members. "If you have one, revise it every five years or so and change it according to your changes." People, he said, often write wills for a variety of different reasons. The dispo sition of everything a person owns and, of course, money, should be explained within a will. "A will is a good way to say who owns what in the household," said Mr. Morris. And there are details that people need to share with the family. For instance, instance, a spouse or companion companion and/or the executrix of the will needs to know where it is located. It is also a good ideal to let people know where your will is kept. When everyone in a family family has a will, if something should happen to the husband husband and wife at the same time, it won't take a long time to search for what belongs belongs to whom. Not only are wills something something people should have, but also insurance. There are questions people people should ask themselves: Is it paid up, should it be re viewed, are the beneficiaries' beneficiaries' names correct? If someone someone owns a business, a person must ask of themselves: themselves: Can this business exist exist if I die? Then there is the funeral to get through. "Most people don't know about the cost of a funeral," said Mr. Morris. "Some find out funerals don't cost as much as they had previously thought." He asked the club members members to think about prepaid funerals and to think about if they want to be cremated or buried. "You have to know whether you want to be buried buried or cremated. And, once you're cremated, where will your ashes go? They have to go somewhere." In fact, sometimes it is illegal illegal to have ashes sprinkled sprinkled where people want them to go. However, if while living the person did on Mill St. has become a controversial topic in recent months. Mr. Blogg said that he believes believes the current proposal for the nursing home site is "too ambiguous" and he suggests suggests that a more definite plan for the building is needed. needed. However, he adds that he would have to wait until he had access to more information information about the project before before being able to comment more specifically about the site. "I would have to wait until I got in and had a look at everything," he said. Mr. Blogg would also like to see a solution to the garbage garbage disposal issue. "We've got to sit down with all of the other towns involved and come up with some kind of strategy," he said. High taxes are another concern of Mr. Blogg, who notes that the Town of Newcastle's Newcastle's tax bill is similar to the bill paid by residents in other municipalities which offer their residents more municipal services. He sees an improved industrial strategy as one means of reducing reducing the tax burden. The candidate's career in government relations includes includes membership on a number of provincial government government committees, i Some of therie include the provincial 1 joint- steering committee on ' hazardous substances; the employers advisory committee on labor relations law and the advisory advisory committee onto the workplace workplace health and safety agency. ■ Mr. Blogg has lived in a number of Metro Toronto area communities before moving to Newcastle. He said that he would like to see residents take more pride in themselves and their town. "I think that's something we can instill in the Town of Newcastle," he adds. "You don't get anywhere through confrontation." not specify where their ashes ashes were to go, they go home with their relatives. People have to look at where they want the funeral service to take place. It could be in a funeral chapel or at their home church. Most people also need to think about what will happen happen if they die while travelling. travelling. "If you make arrangements arrangements before you leave the area, I can take care of everything from right here in Bowmanville," said Mr. Morris. Some of the other things that a spouse or companion should know about are: the names of the people dealt with at the bank regarding any RRSP's, and stocks and bonds. Also, a good thing to keep in the bottom drawer of your bureau or in a safety deposit box, are the last seven years worth of filled-out income tax forms.

Canada Post Promises Service Canada Post will continue continue service whether or not there is a postal workers' strike this Friday, said a spokesperson for Canada Post. Joyce Wells, manager of public relations at Canada Post, said the post office will remain "open for business" in the event of a strike. "It is our number one priority priority to ensure service is maintained," Ms Wells added. added. She specified that "different" "different" arrangements will be made if, in fact, workers do walk the picket lines. But this does not necessarily necessarily mean service will be slower. "For example, if someone got their mail delivered to a post office box, they may be able to pick it up only on certain certain days -- perhaps twice or three times a week," she said. Details, however, remain sketchy. Ms Wells is optimistic a strike by postal workers will be averted. "Talks have resumed and the number of unsettled issues issues has decreased," she commented. "The negotiators have really gotten down to business. business. I think they are making making progress." Negotiations, however, have been long and tedious. Union negotiators are bargaining on behalf of both the Canadian Union of Postal Postal Workers (CUPW) and the Letter Carriers' Union. Bargaining has, therefore, therefore, been long and difficult because a new contract -- acceptable to both postal unions unions -- must be negotiated, Ms Wells explained. "It's been especially hard going for union negotiators for this reason," she added. Canada Post in Bowmanville Bowmanville declined to comment how service in this area will be affected if an agreement is not reached by this Friday. Friday. Anybody Seen a Titleist?
