PADDY'S MARKET (E K £ V 1 Iwy. 2 .. _ Is 1 1 £ a: Roads and Firefighting Among Council's Priorities From page 1 bly be the toughest part for people to understand," says Novak, who thinks councillors will likely face many questions from their constituents. Roads Clarington councillors also think they'll spend a great deal of time in the up-coming session discussing discussing the state of roads in the municipality. "It's not just the quality of the roads. You know the old adage, *A stitch in time saves nine.' If we repair them properly now, we won't be totally reconstructing reconstructing them later," says Ward One Councillor Jane Rowe. Novak agrees. "With the dollars being at zero for so many years, certainly our roads are at a good standing, but the time has come where we really have to pay attention to -maintenance. Our dollars will have to be spent ever so wisely," she says. Police Mutton says one of his main priorities will be to attract some of the 20 new officers Durham Regional Police plan to hire to Clarington. "I've been lobbying the Police Services Board and the Chief of Police to locate as many of those new officers as possible in Clarington," he says, citing Clarington's huge population population growth as the reason for the need for more law enforcers. Some councillors also say they hope to make recreational facilities a priority priority in this council session. session. Novak hopes to look into new soccer and baseball baseball fields, and both she and Rowe say they're Party Faithful Attend PC Barbecue From page 1 the leader of their choice at polling stations in each riding. riding. Pallister estimates he has been to nearly 150 riding riding events since April, five of them in Ontario. Hugh Segal was guest speaker at the Durham Riding PC Association's annual general general meeting in June. Regardless of the hectic schedule (and an injured arm from a mishap on his bike) Brian Pallister is very much in favor of the new process which has him cross-country campaigning. "My father was a farmer and couldn't afford to go to a leadership convention," notes Pallister. Allowing all party members to vote is " a healthy process." He says it proves the Conservatives want to rebuild "a truly national party". Advance polls will open October 21, with the big election day on October 24. Only those who are paid up as 1998 members by September 25 will be eligible eligible to vote. The membership in Durham riding in 1997 was over 860. Riding officials hope to sign up 1,000 members members this time. If no candidate receives 50%-plus-onc on the first ballot, a second ballot will be held Nov. 14 to determine determine a winner. The candidate candidate with the least support will he dropped olT this second second ballot and voters will rank their preference for the remaining candidates. Michel Fortier, a leadership leadership candidate from Montreal, did not show up to Tuesday's barbecue although he was expected. Brian Orchard, a Saskatchewan farmer, had indicated the chances of him attending were 50/50 from the start. Both John Long and Scott Paterson have dropped mil of the race, looking forward to the opening of the new ice pad at the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex. But Rowe is concerned one more ice pad may not be enough, given Clarington's rapid growth. "I think we have to do long-range planning as to future facilities because, the minute we open the new Rickard ice pad, it's completely booked," she says. The ice pad is scheduled scheduled to be ready for use by October. All the councillors agree this will be a busy session for them. But, according to Novak, they've got a lot of support from understanding constituents. constituents. "I give tremendous credit to the citizens of Clarington. They know we're going through not only growth but change, as never before in the history of Ontario. And I'm sure we're all equal to meeting the challenge. It's just that there'll be a lot of questions questions to be answered, and certainly a lot of growing pains in the process," she says.
