In 1991, Doîstra, who, is seek- ing re-election on Nov. 14, defea- tdScott by 94 votes. This time around, the 64-year- oid former downtown, business owner wants te reverse that order of finish. In a press release announcing her candidacy, Scott said the centre ward requires a '"full- tinte» councillor, "readily avail- able at ail times to address on-going issues.» Issues which Scott claims, have eitber been ignored or not gLven a fair hearing by council the past three years. Asan example, she points te, the efforts cf, some downtown merchants and business owners te rescind a speciai tax levy on stores located within the Down- town Business Improvement Area (DBIA). uPrinciples cf democracy must be tupheld and net become ero- ded 'said Scott. «I5emocracy did not prevail at Town council when 85 per cent of downtown businesses petitioned to have the mandatory DBA tax placed in abeyance...and were denied their request," she said. Although commending council for bowing te the wishes cf DBIA members and promising an elec- ted DBIA management board, Scott said this and other action did net corne about without pressure. «Had the opponents te the mandatory tax not intervened in budget matters, the DBIA ievy cf $153,000 in 1992 would have continued te increase in ensuing years, rather than' decrease te, $104,ý000 in 1994," she said. Turnin g her attention te ether matters, Scett is «firmly" bohînd efforts te keep acute care health services at Whitby General Hos- pital. As a long-tinte hospital volun- teer and former industrial nurse» at Sklar Furniture, Scott «recognizes» the importance cf having a hospitai in close pro- ximity te local industry. "There are thousands cf employees working in the highly v w n1~ow SHIRLEY SCOTT industrialized area cf Whitby General and south of the (Hwy.) 401 " said Scott. "hey shouid have quick access te medical.expertise, espe- cially for serieus injuries and life threatening ilînesses." While applauding council for finaily going ahead with prejects such as the expanded senior citi- zens' centre, Scott criticizes it for neglecting other areas. Speciflcally, a "lack» ef recrea- tional facilities for WVhitby youngsters, she dlaims. «It is a municipai roverninent's duty te provide facifities for acti- vities that contribute pesitivelz te yeung peepie's development, she said. In addition te hier business and nursing experience, Scett bas aise been a real estate agent and iaw office assistant. She is the mother cf two sons, local iawyers Robin and Mark, and has four grandchildren. Her community invoivement includes the Whiby General Hospital Auxiliary;- regional con- sultation cemmittee for the Interim Waste Authority; Dur- ham Region Lung Association, and Durham Region Occupa- tional Health Nurses Associa- tion.
