Candidates Debate The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, October 29, 1997 Pace .1 From page 1 waterfront development and faced questihns about the safety of traffic going through the oJd holc-in-thc- wall bridge Under the railway. railway. Development at the lake has been delayed for decades, she said, and the reason has been the hole-in- thc-wall (the CN overpass). Hamre admitted the single lane solution was not a perfect perfect set-up, but was assured by municipal staff that traffic traffic volumes would be monitored. monitored. "There will not be another building permit issued if traffic gets to a certain certain level. It will not become an unsafe situation." situation." Hamre also said she had supported the costal villa phase in the Kaitlin development development plan because the buildings would be on bluffs and not on land where beach is assessable. The deal was also a way to get more public land for the town, she said. However, Hamre admitted admitted there may have been some confusion among councillors on the day of the costal villa vote. And, for that reason, promised to ask for a reconsideration of the issue at Monday's GPA meeting. Hamre's sole opponent for the mayor's chair, Cecil Mackesey, argued that the voices of the community have not been heard on the Newcastle waterfront development. development. "The community has been consistent in its message message to the mayor. Yet, the mayor now says there was confusion. The only person confused is the mayor. Let us recall the deciding vote on this issue was cast by the mayor." Mackesey also criticized the present Council and mayor for not being tougher negotiators for more public waterfront land "We had an opportunity to get property and we could have done a lot better," he said He reminding the audience audience that out of 33 kilometers kilometers of waterfront property in Clarington, only one is for public use. John Mutton, regional councillor candidate for Ward 3&4, said he would be vigilant in providing more public access to the lake and also came out strongly against a possible casino' at the lake: "I would be the councillor that vehemently opposes and leads a fight against a casino at the Port of Newcastle." He also vowed to reintroduce reintroduce the discussion about the CNR rail bridge. "This Council has chosen not to listen to the public." Charlie Trim, one of two candidates for the Ward 4 local councillor's seat, also expressed strong anti-casino A Day In The Life stand. "I am against a casino in Newcastle of any kind," he said. Beverly Wakefield, also running for the local scat in Ward 4, reminded the audience audience it is the province that issues casino licences. "If the province listens to us, with what we know, there will be no casino; but if the province doesn't listen, we might have one anyway." Cecil Mackesey said he personally docs not support a casino although lie would support a public vote on the issue. He also doesn't believe that people in Courticc should have opportunity to vote on it. "It is not on their back door." The mayor was still reserving judgement on a casino. "I don't think that Clarington is ready for a casino but I will wait to hear from the people on the issue," said Hamre. The candidates meeting was jointly hosted by the Newcastle BIA, Newcastle Ratepayers' Association, and the Newcastle and District Chamber of Commerce. Elect John Mutton Regional Councillor Wards 3 and 4 From page 4 rich neither knows about r values our work, and lich consistently misrepre- nts conditions in the hools of Ontario. We have come to realize at, for many members of ; public and for the Harris g ivernment, only time actu- y spent teaching students perceived as real work. Tasks like planning, eval- ting and meeting with col- agues, which comprise , uch of the day's work in the g ivate sector, are not :emed to be part of a acher's working day. Yet r teachers to conduct class- without planning would : like members of the pri- ite sector chairing meetings r five hours without having id time to prepare for them. >r teachers to neglect evalu- ing students' work would : like people in other jobs signing tasks and agreeing i a plan of action, but never iving time to follow rough, assess progress or dually do the designated ork. We believe that the cduca- an of children should be the :st priority of a society, not ily for the sake of the chil- en and their parents, but for c sake of every member of e community. The health, ability and future prosperity ' a country depends on the due it places on its chil- en's well-being. We do not iderstand why our efforts l behalf of Ontario's stu- :nts arc being willfully mis- presented and undervalued, 'c do not understand how c government can expect rqualified people to replace i in the classroom.
