WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16, 1985, PAGE 17 Gartshore vying for regional council JIM GARTSHORE Report from Q ueen's Park By THE HON. GEORGE ASHE, MPP (PC -Durham West) How many tintes have you heard a visitor to this province comment on how beautiful and dlean On- tario is? Ontarians have.been suffic -iently confident of the truth in thé observation to have put the statement "Ontario ... keep it beautiful" on vehicle licence plates. ,But look around and decide if we still have a right to make such a dlaim. When you travel or even around home look at the bits of paper, candy wrappers, empty cigarette packs, pop and beer cans, and newspapers littering the streets, sidewalks and parka. Surprisingly, you will frequently see a waste receptacle vhthin view of the rubbish. In the country you will find similar discards lit- tering the roadsides, fields, and the forests. Some thoughtless individuals even use the country as a dumping place for mattresses, appliances, fur- niture, green garbage bags filled with household rubbish, and even old cars. To dlean Up this waste, be it in urban or rural areas, takes time and money; and both must be provided by tax dollars. It i5 up to each and every one of us to 'dlean up our act' if we want to continue having pride, and we should, in the beauty and cleanlinesa of our province. We must teach our children that litter belonga in a waste receptable; and it is their responsibility to put it there. We must teach thent that littering hurts everyone and costs a good deal of money to dlean Up when it has been carelessly di$carded. As aduits, we should take a long, hard look at our own habits for disposing of rubbish -- be it a candy wrapper or an old appliance. It is common to hear Ontarians say they want to see their tax dollars put to good use. But every dollar used by the various levels of government to dlean Up litter is a dollar which could have been put to better use elsewhere. So, the next tinte you are tempted to throw rub- bish out your car window, or to tosa an empty cigarette package onto the sidewalk, think about it. Ontario truly la beautiful. It will only stay that way if we alI work at it. Your thoughtfullness really does count! ATTERSLEY TIRE SERVICE PASSENGER & LIGIIT TRUCKS BRAKES OCOOLING 103 Dundas E. 162 Kng St. E. Whitby Oshawa 668-3356 571 -3400 Mfter a five year ab- sence from municipal politics, Jim Gartshore has announced that he will seek one of Whitby's two seats on Durham Regional Council thia Nov. 12. Gartshore was Mayor of Whitby from 1975 to 1980. Before that he sat on council as both the centre and west ward representative. The 57-year-old business consultant said that it was a "hard decision" to leave the mayor's office in 1980. "But it was time to go back into industry for a change of perspective. " And bis five years back in the business world has done him the world of good, he adds. "It serves you well and the town well to get out and recharge your batteries," Gartshore said. "I amt not in a position to take another look at running and give it aIl the time it needs to do the job." One thing that does concern Gartshore is the apparent lack of flexibility in dealing with people at the town hall. He doesn't believe that people always get the fair shake they deserve when it comes to getting their problems solved. "The swiftness of the decision making process leaves something to be desired, " he says. Gartshore said that one of his finest accom- plishments as mayor was the speeding Up of the town's budget proceas. At one time, the town's annual budget wasn't struck until after the Region of i. Durham and the achool boards' had done theirs. Now, the town's budget ning, not the midd.le, of the year. He would like to sec the region bring in its budget in late Decem- ber or January - when the town does. "We've got to take a serious look at the budget process," Gar- tshore said, "Why can't they do the same thing Whitby does? " While he has ex- pressed some approval of the town's current growth rate, Gartshore wants to see the em- phasis changed to the development of job creating industry. "lWe have to bring in job creating industry. Book R ev iews By EDWARD KAYE Everybody's Man, A Biography of Jimmy Stewart by J. Robbins, is available from General Publishing.
