Ward 2 Local Councillor Jim Schell says that lie supports supports last week's decision made during the General Purpose and Administrative Committee meeting. "The decision we made was a good one. Now there's even a letter from a commercial venture for the installation installation for the signs," Schell said.

Trim "asked that the matter be tabled, and Mayor Hamre asked that rural residents be given the opportunity opportunity to comment on the issue.

Hugh Segal, an early campaigner for the federal Progressive Conservative party leadership, shares his strategy strategy for a national election victory in 2001. Mr. Segal was Chief of Staff under former Prime Minister Brian Mulroncy and before that worked with Bill Davis and Bob Stanfield. He spoke to Durham Riding Conservatives in Orono on Monday night. Durham PCs Meet Federal Party Leadership Hopeful by Lorraine Manfredo Stall Writer One of the first Tories to join the race for the federal federal party leadership was in Orono on Monday night bursting with confidence about a Conservative comeback. comeback. Hugh Segal, a Kingston resident, has worked with such Conservative luminaries as Bob Stanfield, Bill Davis and Brian Mulroncy. Active in business and politics, he is also well- known for his regular columns in The Financial Post and frequent panel appearances on Canada AM and on CBC radio. Segal told about 70 members of the Durham Federal Progressive Conservative Riding Association that the parly has retreated from the edge of oblivion in the past and can dd it again. "In debt and on the verge of bankruptcy, that was the state of the conservative parly in 1942," Segal said. But, party faithful rebuilt under the new name "Progressive Conservative". His prescription for rebuilding in 1998 is to " open doors wide to new ideas, new people, and old friends who have voted Liberal or Reform in '93 or '97." "This is not about moving from last place to second or third place," he said. "It's about forming a new national government." If elected leader, Segal does not plan to ask any of thé present 20 Tory MPs to vacate their scat for him. Failing a by-election, he says he would maintain a high profile outside the House of Commons. As far as a "unite the right" merger goes, lie says it wouldn't make sense. "A union with Reform would send half our conservative conservative support to the Liberals and then the Liberals could take the riding with more votes than before." In last year's election, Liberals were victorious in Durham, but they had fewer votes than the combined tally for Conservatives and Reform. Stint Curcatz was the defeated federal PC candidate for the Durham riding. He says he may decide to run again depending on who the parly membership elects as leader to replace Jean Charcst. Being an Ontarian could earn Segal points here, Curcatz says, "Out of 103 scats in Ontario, 102 arc Liberal," Gains must be made in this province, he said Segal, too, says a strong showing in eastern Canada is key to an election win in 2001. "To win the next election, we have to first win in Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. Sweeping the west without seats in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic won't help us form the government." Most Conservatives arc eagerly wailing to hear if former Prime Minister Joe Clarke will seek the nomination nomination as party leader. This will be the first federal PC leader to be elected elected by all registered parly members. Instead of sending delegates to a convention, every memberWill have opportunity to vote in polling stations stations in each riding. #rr * $20 - Full set of acrylic nails * Free set of nails with every belly button piercing * Waxing Specials * Wedding Party - Bride receives free set of nails!
