26 -- PORT- PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 8, 1988 5 GLENN MALCOLM I am a 36-year-old resident of North Nestleton where with my wife, Arlene, our daughters, Heather, Alison and Erin and full- tigne hired help, I operate a hog farm. I am the fifth generation of my family to farm on this location. I have served on various farm organizations as director and am currently President of Durham East Pork Producers. I have been active on several committees in the United Church for the past 15 years, currently serving as elder. I am quite busy, but if elected, will find the time to fulfill the duties of this office as I view public office as a real challenge and worthwhile goal. If elected, I would support the wise use of tax dollars. I believe housing development should be allowed around present villages and hamlets, with perhaps some estate development on rough land, but the establishment of local industry should be en- couraged for job creation and a balanced tax base. : - The recreational services throughout Scugog should be im- proved with expanded funding through the various committees and groups. I feel that large capital expen- ditures such as Municipal Building, Second Arena or Ban- quet Hall should be funded in a timely fashion from capital reserves, avoiding debenture debt unless absolutely necessary. I could support any of these pro- jects if the numbers presented to Council merited such expenditures. The roads and services main- tained by the present council have been reasonable, in my opinion, and if elected I would like to see these maintained and steadily im- proved for ever better results. Lastly, Council should continue to promote Scugog as a tourism centre. Thank you. available at the Port Perry Star EJAY 985-7383 Candidates for BENNY WITTEVEEN I welcome this opportunity to address the citizens of Blackstock and Scugog, and particularly the people of Ward 4, but first I would like to express my thanks to The Port Perry Star for giving me the opportunity to explain to the public, the electorate, what I, as a candidate for Councillor, would like to see put in place and ac- complished in the next term of council. For the benefit of those who may not be acquainted with me, I offer a brief biographical note. I am married and live with my wife, Maragret, on a small farm south of Blackstock. We have two daughters -- Susan and Nancy. Susan graduated from the University of Western Ontario and has taken a position with General Motors Canada, in: Woodstock, Ontario. Nancy, our youngest, lives and works in the City of Toronto, where she is employed as a customer relations representative. : As for myself, I have for th past 36 years been with General Motors Oshawa, working in Material Control in the Truck Plant. I am now considering retirement, and should I be suc- cessful in this coming minicipal election, I could dedicate full time to this important responsibility -- the interests and concerns of the people of Ward 4. For those of you who have travelled from the community for work or leisure, you must feel, as I do, that coming back to Port Perry and the community of Scugog is the best part of the trip, and since the community has been good to my family and I, I would like to be given the oppor- tunity to put something back in return. I know that I can and will, if given the chance. I feel confident that I can co- operate and get along with whomever else may be elected to Council. Some major and important decisions will have to be made . this term, and I would like to be part of that decision-making pro- cess. GM's Autoplex is near com- pletion and along with that there is every indication that the "Go- Train" will be extended to/past Oshawa. The Nuclear Hydro Plant is near completion as well. Both will contribute to an influx of people settling in this area. e on Council, therefore, will not only be faced with the respon- sibility of making sound and sen- sible decisions involving further development -- so that we don't . become just another bedroom community -- but that we also not WARD 4 COUNCILLOR 2) JIM MacLEOD As a lifelong resident of Ward Four, I have had numerous con- cerns in relation to the direction and future of this Township. If elected as your councillor I have every intention of pursuing community interests on a long term basis. I have long been concerned with the condition of our roads; an upgrading is an absolute necessity! A new site for our garbage. disposal must be looked into now as the present facility is fast becoming obsolete. Proper maintenance of our parks and recreational areas is of immediate concern assuring our children and families of safer and better places to stay. I feel our Council should have more say in future planning. Our local affairs should not be dic- tated solely by the region. In closing, if elected I will act based upon future requirements as well as immediate problems. Thank you for considering me as your Ward Four councilman. Sincerely, Jim MacLeod place needless burdens on our already over-taxed service facilities, such as hospital, sewage, parking and garbage disposal; and last, but not least, our recreational facilities which, for the most part, are paid for by you, the taxpayer. My agenda, when elected, is to push for a new Town Hall; sooner or later it will be needed. How will this be paid for? The incoming Council should very seriously con- sider attracting small industries to the area, thereby broadening the tax base and creating more employment opportunities for our young people. There are other issues I want to address, if elected to Council, but space does not permit my discuss- ing them here. In conclusion, may I say to you that 'My house will be an open garden, so to speak, and, I, therefore, invite your comments and suggestions, that we may -- together -- develop our fine community.' I would very much appreciate your support, and vote, at the polls on November 14, 1988. Benry Witteveen, (Candidate, Ward 4) TOM VANDERENDE I am running for Ward 4 Coun- cillor because this Ward is neglected. Most of the concession roads in this Ward look like dirt roads from the 1930's. Most of our tax dollars are spent in Port Perry. : We need more community wells so people in Ward Four also have water. Garbage pick-up service for Blackstock & Nestleton is needed. Like to see sports facilities spread all over Scugog Township, not on- ly in Port Perry. There are peo- ple living in the outskirts as well. Stop wasting our tax dollars on frills and spend them on solid stuff like at least tar and gravel, so we can also can proceed to Town without getting bounced off the road. Also, street lights in some built- up areas are needed in Ward 4. I would like to see some of these projects done now, not 20 or 30 years from now. SO DON'T WORRY "Be Happy.

The 5.3 per cent price increase approved by Ontario Hydro's Board of Directors is slightly lower than the 5.5 per cent the utility proposed to the Minister of Energy in the spring and the 5.8 per cent recommended by the On- tario Energy Board. Rural customers served directly by On- tario Hydro will receive an average price increase of 5.9 per cent. Industrial electricity prices will increase an average six per cent. In many cases, increases could be offset if industries take advantage of time-of-use rates, under which electricity used in off-peak hours will cost less. The times of highest demand are in the day and the winter, the lowest, at night and in the summer. "Industrial time-of-use rates are the first phase in a pricing shift which will make better use of existing electricity facilities. and reduce the need for new ones," Franklin said. The wholesale prices charged by Ontario Hydro to the pro- vince's more than 300 municipal utilities will increase by about five per cent, adding about $3 to the average residential bill. Ac- tual municipal rate increases will vary from utility to utility, depen- ding-on local costs. : Time-of-use rates will likely not be offered to residential customers until the early 1990's. By that time, those municipal utilities who opt into the program and decide to make time-of-use pricing available to their customers will have new meters and-billing systems in place.
