6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 13, 1978 Section Two Region Requires Constant Review, New Chairman Says By Maureen Corkery In beginning his third termi as Regional Chairman, Water Beath stressed the need for continuai review of Regional operations and policies and caiied upon council to consider setting some long-term goals during its new termi of office. He reminded council that the provincial government has said it will not finance a review of regionai govern- ment and urged members to get on with the business at hand and "do what needs to be done." Beath outlined some of his priorities' during couni's next two-year terni. One is to establish equalit.y of services across the entîre Region of Durham. Two major services which are currently spread unevenly throughout the Region, hie noted, are social services and policing. Council shouid also strive for continued co-operation between ail area municipali- ties and look toward stream- iining the total operation. Staff Review To ensure staff productivity, hie mentioned, he wouid like to see a review of space provided for them, their responsibilities and remuneration and "we shouid establish a salary range for each individual staff member." Energy conserva- tion and tax reform, in the formi of assessment 'equaliza- tion, must be pursued as well." Beath emphasized hie will continue to attend regular staff and committee meetings to keep - informed and encourage co-operation between committees and department staff. His open- door policy will aiso persis, hie said, for "it is essential to be availabie to the public, staff and members of council." Potentiai "There is great potential coming to Durham, said Beath inciuding a Liquor Control, Board warehouse, expansion of the courthouse in Whitby and added waste disposai facilities - liquid and soiid, short and long terni." Beath said hie attended severai ail-candidates meet- ings in the Region and noticed regional iSsues did not have the high priority they did a few years ago. He interpreted this as a better understanding and perception of re-structuring by the public and a realization that progress has been made since the formation of regional government - Chairman Beath defeated 33-year-oid Oshawa Counillor Alan Pilkey in the race for regional chairman last Wed- nesday when hie voted himself into office. In the first stage, both Beath and Piikey receiv- ed 15 votes each. Beath broke the tie by voting for himself. In the event of a tie, it had been agreed there would be a second ballot and if the vote ended in a deadlock a third vote would be taken. If, after a third ballot, no chairman was eiected, the two names were to have been placed in a drum and the clerk would pick one. But, acting on the advice of the region's solicitor, this procedure was altered. Clerk Cecil Lundy informed council at the beginning of the inaugural meeting that in the event of a tie, it was the solicitor's opinion that the incumbent chairman couid vote, Before Beath cast his vote, Piikey was asked if he cared to make any remarks on the legal opinion of the solicitor. "I wili not debate that opinion now," Pilkey said, "but I believe it is an error in law." Pilkey was supported in the vote for chairman by al Oshawa counciliors except John Howden and Ed Kolodzie. Newcastle council- lors Ann Cowman and Ivan Hobbs, Brock Mayor Alian McPhail, Brock councillor Don Hadden, Whitby council- lor Bob Attersley and Picker- ing councilior Doug Dickerson also voted for him - Caretake Government? In his speech before the voting took place, Pilkey termed government at the Regionai level in Durham as "'a caretaker type of govern- ment inclined mereiy to roll along and see what happens. This type of government will flot serve us weil in years six and seven." He said it is criticaliy important for the new council to review such things as "the lack of unity and communica- tion and uncertain direction as to where this regional munici- pality is going and the' unfortunate state of the regional industrial develop- ment department which has meant iost opportunities for ail our municipalities" Pilkey said he believes new leader- ship would help the region "face up to and soive these many problems,." With new leadership, he said council could set iong-term objectives for the region, rebuild and strengthen the industrial meaningful progress and would listen open-minded to citizens of the Region. Pilkey said in this race he believed he was the vehicle through which unit, communication and a feeling of togetherness could be achieved "for the good of the municipality" - After Beath was sworn into office, MP George Ash extend- ed the provincial goverfi- ment's best wishes to the new council and standing commit- tees were formed. Federated WVFomen 's Institutes Immunization and a study of the needs of children in their communities was the project that was adopted by the Provincial Board of the Fede- rated Women's Institutes of Ontario. At their annual meeting in Toronto this week it was decided that in the "International Year of the Child" the 29,000 members in this Province shouid be more aware of the need for good health care especialiy in the young. The members are to make known to parents the availabie protection and heip an~d to encourage total im- munization as well as good heaith care the children. With concern' for other countries as well the members voted $2,000 through ACWW to heip India in a program of nutritive food-and compuisory immunization, as weii as heip for the mothers in proper Participateiadua's Emnployment Tax Crledt Pmgramn.
