The'office of Mayor has many responsibilities. From n*v (ri oeriewe :>,' a farmer, a businessmen and my involvement involvement in community affairs I . have acquired an understanding understanding of the concerns of ail citizens. Since the formation of, this I thank the media for granting me the opportunity to write a few words - regarding my seeking election election for Regional Councillor, Ward III. Please note the following :- 1. Have the ability and ; dedication to serve the citizens citizens of Ward III in that capacity, Regional including Local. 2.

Have a good fapport with Region staff and various members of Regional council. 5. Have worked directly with'Regional committees on various matters of concern to you, the citizens. 6. I am the only member of Council who voted constantly not to approve the "Splash" project. This was done because because I did my homework and was advised by a number of municipalities, "they are a deficit operation". We do not need to walk, open-eyed, into a deficit operation. Splash organization -1 have and do, commend. They are an excellent excellent organization. 7. I am my own man - with non-political approach - do not speak just to hear my voice. ■ 8. Make no promises, except to wprk for ybu the citizens - your best interests are my , - concern. , Keith D. Barr, The Reason Why My education and broad experience in many areas of service to my country and community has given me a wealth of knowledge and understanding, which has stood me in good stead in my position of representing you in Regional Council. Your business is the only business I have, whils't the other candidates are employed employed in various occupations. One is a self claimed businessman, businessman, another a full-time employee of General Motors, and yet another has an occupation and is about to open a business. The position of Regional Councillor in Ward Three demands most of my waking hours. I don't think the candidates have any conception conception of the hours of reading necessary to deal intelligently with agendas of a multimillion multimillion dollar business, because because that is what the Region of Durham is. Of course the essence of my job is the people, I serve and their problems, which I try to alleviate or solve, may it be the dewatering of a well or a farmers problem on livestock compensation. My constituents should know that the time needed to attend some fourteen committees committees and hall boards I am appointed to as a Regional t Councillor, is only part of the ' job. There is absolutely NO TIME for any other employment. employment. ' I have visited to date, and personally delivered to most of the homes in Ward Three, a sheet containing some examples examples of the outspoken leadership I have given both in Regional Council and Local Council during the two years I have represented you. You have a two year investment in me, which I have repayed with diligent study and hard work. I am determined tq continue representing representing you in a forceful, dignified and fearless manner. manner. Bill Clarke, Regional Councillor. If elected I will insist on monthly and quarterly financial financial reports which are available available to the elected and the public as Well. I am also concerned with red tape in obtaining permits. Too often a request to council bounces back and forth from committee to committee. Delegations Delegations should be listened to when they speak to council. I would suggest that Town staff assist citizens in every way possible and that the citizens not have to Wait three 'to six months for an answer. I have operated a successful successful business in Newcastle for Town budgeted to spend $5,228,072.00 during 1979, actually actually spent $5,828,616.00. I offer you a new experience experience - Accountability ! Thank you for your support. Diane Harare, . For Local council WEST, Lyle GRAY, Alf twenty-five years and would use this experience to promote promote efficient decisions at council. My honesty, sincerity and experience, I think,. is what you are looking for in a Regional councillor to speak for you at both ' the local council and at the Region. If elected I will devote my personal attention and time to serving you at both levels of council. I solicit your vote on Monday. Alf Gray.' To the Electors of Ward Three I have certainly been concerned concerned over the deficit "of $400,000 which has come to light in the Town of Newcastle. Newcastle. I would hope that this would not grow into a greater amount and feel action should be taken to keep such over- expenditures happening. HAMRE, Diane Why vote for Diane Harare for Regional Councillor for Ward 3 on November 10th, 1980? Press reports in the past few months: Town has surplus $17,930.00 Town auditor reports actual overspending of municipality exceeded $610,000. Auditor points out 1979 budget set prior to knowing final figures for 1978. Points out no effort in reducing programs to meet budget restraints. ' Points to use of contingency funds with no el'ear indication ,on how spent. , , Points out that appears council had not adequately reviewed their budget throughout throughout year.
