ROBERT THORNTON SCHOOL Dr. Robert Thornton School and Thornton In- Council Column w I Submitted b4 meMbers of WHITBY TOWN COUNCIL By COUNCILLOR JOE E. BUGELLI West Ward Cha irman of Operations Committee As we commence a new year, we pause to reflect over the past, ponder the future, and resolve to do 101 things. We somehow seemn to give ourselves a boost of ex- tra energy and-look forward with anticipation to the challenges, trials and tribulations that await us. We hear the leaders of our religious and political insti- tutions urging us on, with vim and vigour, to go and do what society expects of us. And we march for- ward, as so we should, in pursuit of ambitious aspirations!1 Unfortunately, within a few short weeks, or maybe even days, that burst of energy seems to fiz- zle and die - and we hang on, waiting for another new year to re-kindle that spark, so we can inako the same resolutions, over and over. We seem 10o have survived one of the toughest economiecelimates since the great depression. 1982 will forever ho etchod in our memories as a year of hardships, insecurity and instabiity. Wo had to loarn to do without, we stopped taking for granted certain privileges that we, over the years, con- strued to be basic rights. We learned t0 become more ingenious, more creativo and enterprising, in order to protoct our livelihood and our very basic existence. We managed to do away with a few "6niceties" because we roarranged our priorities to their proper levels. In short, we have ail become botter citizens bocause of our ordeal. My hope for everyone in 1983 is that thoso hard learned lessons wiil not'be forgotten. We must re- member that the future is just the past returning through another gate. We must not allow ourselves the luxury of relaxing our guard and stagnate to the Point of vulnerability. We should look forward to 1983 as the year of recovery. Politicians at ail levels, regardless of Party idoology, are, by and large, sincere, dedicat- ed, responsible people trying to do what they honest- ly bolieve is the best way to cure this ailing economy. Lilce 80 many doctors treating a disease nobody is famiiar with, they are prescribing various means of treatment. Nobody onjoys taking miedicine, and some are harder to swallow than others, but we must try to co-operate, we must believe in ourselves as being capable of recovery, if we are t0 succeed. If we refuse to be part of the solution, we then become a part of the problom. Your Town Council is in the. throws of finalizing 1983 budget discussions. I commend the effort of MY colloagues and management staff in the difficuit task of maintainlng a high level of service while keeping within the provincial government's guide- lines 0f 5 per cent. It appears that we have achieved that goal since we expect the final budget will repre- sent no more than a 3.6 per cent increase over last year 's. I am looking forward to 1983 with great expecta- tions becuase in order to be successful, we have to look, feel and think that way. To *aIl our friends and citizens 0f Whitby, on behaîf of myseif and my family, I wish you aIl and your loved ones, a happy, healthy and promising year.
