"Six years ago, we started putting money away when Marie Marie (Hubbard) was mayor," Mayor Hamre recalled. "Although "Although the complex is located in Courtice, it is being built to serve the total municipality." Another item to look forward to is the official opening of Rotary Rotary Park in Bowmanville. The mayor said the opening will be this spring. The park will have a bandstand, bandstand, washrooms, and a clock tower, plus lots of grass, shrubs and other plants. In the winter, there will be a skating rink around the clock tower. Mayor Hamre also announced announced that in mid-January she will be going to Ottawa, along with other heads of municipalities municipalities to discuss the question question of cleaning up low level radioactive - waste. In Clarington, Clarington, the community liaison group has been hard at work for a number of years trying to ensure that the low-level radioactive radioactive waste near Port Granby is moved to a secure location. The waste is from the former Eldorado Nuclear refinery in Port Hope.

Even with the provincial cutbacks, Mayor Hamre predicts Clarington will remain in a strong economic position.

Nevertheless, the town's economic future is also subject subject to .events taking place beyond beyond Clarington's boundaries. The real fear for Clarington is to be swept up by those looking looking for a super-city combining Mississuga, Toronto, North York and even Oshawa. Mayor Hamre says "Oshawa Mayor Nancy Diamond has been taking part in meetings held to discuss the dissolution of several regions and the combination combination of municipalities to create a super city.

Clarington Looking at Budget Cuts in 1996 From page one of Public Works will be holding holding discussions with the regional regional works department. "We have to go to the days when every nickel and dime was counted because it all adds up," she warned.. While that doesn't sound too promising, Mayor Hamre is confident that the community minded individuals who live in Clarington will understand...even understand...even if it means leaning leaning more and more on the volunteer volunteer component in the municipality, just like what happened in days gone by. While she would not go into specifics, she did note that some services like the cutting of grass along roadsides and the cleaning of culverts could be reverted back to abutting land owners. "Each one needs to be doing our own part," Mayor Hamre said. Mayor Hamre adds that, without the large contingent of volunteers in Clarington, there would be a hole in the quality of life in the municipality. And it is this quality of life that brings people here from the larger centres including Toronto. Toronto. "We're all in this together and we -all benefit from this community. In 1996, everyone will need to bend a bit," Mayor Hamre said. STORE CLOSING 50 % OFF ALREADY REDUCED RED STICKER PRICES lOOO's to choose from.
