Ireview of wards FROM PAGE 1 19,205, a 64 per cent increase, while the. north ward will increase to 4,285, a one per cent increase. Referring to those figures, Bugelli called the present ward systemn, "inequitable. I"Now is the time to do something equitable. We are not really doing a service here, we are doing a disser- vice," he said., Bugelli suggested that council hold -off making a decision until town staff redraft the ward boun- daries to give a botter distribution. "Let's assure representation by population," he said. Bugelli suggested that by reducing the Town to three ward.s, a rural sensitivity will be kept, and the cost to run a campaign would be reduced. Ho estimated that under the present ward systemn, it will cost a resident anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 to rus a campaign. To run for regional councillor or Mayor now costs $7,000, he said. That cost will increase to $12,000 to $15,000 by 1988, he said. By having both a local and regional councillor in the same ward it would also be easier for people to know who to deal with, he said. But Bugelli's argument fell on deaf ears. Some councillors -feit Bugelli's preference would hinder council representation for residents living north of Taunton Rd. "Councillor Bugelli bas missed one fact," said councillor Batten. "When wo had amalgamation in 1968 a commitment was made then to residents. north of Taunton to keep representation. As long as I represent them I can't support anything that would . take that. representation away. " The Town of Whitby and the Township of Whitby amalgamated to form the Town of Whitby on Jan. 1,1968. At that time, Batten said residen- ts living north of Taunton Rd. were given a guarantee that they would have representation on council. "It would be grossly unfair to adopt that (Bugelli's) proposal," he said* Other councillors agreed. "The north -ward bas a special place on this council," said coun- cillor Drumm. "I think the people in town are well represented. " Drumm asked council to look at the present ward system after the next election. By 1991, the «east ward is estimated to have a In a recorded vote, Mayor Atter- sley and counilors Edwards, Bat- ten, Drumm and Brunelle favored the move to eight coundilors. Only councillor Bugelli opposed the move. Councillor Emm was not at the meeting. With eight councillors on council, there is now a greater chance for tie votes. But McKay, in his report says a change in c ouncil procedure will bandie the problem. Simply, a tie vote meanL4 the issue is defeated. "'Three Points of View," an art display ending this week at the Whitby Public Library, brought together three artists Who shared an instructor and a love for color. And one of the artists, Rowena Bridger of Whitby, is described as the "link" for ahl three, according to Elizabeth Scully of West Hill and Margaret Rodgers of Oshawa. For Scully, color and design in nature is a focus while Bridger is interested in the way color relates to the subject. She describes the paintings on display at the library as "more fanciful and not as earthy" as others she has done. "I've deliberately done the colors in that vein - lights and pastel," says Bridger, an artist for 20 years - the past seven in Whitby. Rodgers prefers to work with wet, bright colors: "I slap them down and see what happens," she says. Her subjeets are animals. But light, not nature, is what her pain- tings are MIl about. "I think I'rn more controlled," says Scully of her work. But she says the three, who ahl studied un- der Richard Paget in Scarborough and at The Station Gallery in Whit- by, are "not too far off, flot too divergent" in their work. Rodgers, who has been painting 10 years, says she 'had an "ex- tremely pessimistie" view three or four years ago, her "social con- science" period, but now reflects "ton a more personal level..- , "In your 30's, you're more out,- ward," she says. She feels the artistic environment is improving, at least as compared to the recession, but that there is stili a tendency to "ghettoize" female painters who are older.ý Rodgers also believes it is harder for women to have their works in a gallery. "Art is very precarious," admits ScuIly. "But we're at a level where wedowhatwewanttodo." ., Bridger says her work, is now about "tthings she sees visually, but portrays with an internai vision. Gaugin, Picasso and Rodin are among the many favorites she has. She paints from memory, and with what she calîs a "looseness. " "I like to have a feeling that it's not confining, that it goes off the paper almost." Rodgers is now working from old photographs, what she finds as a "dredging up process." She is at- tempting to bring up the scale of the photographs and bring in color. Her work wilI again be shown at the library in December. MARGARET RODGERS was one of three local ar- tists who exhibited works in the "'Three Points of View" display at Whitby Public Library.
