Mayor Rickard in addres- sîng coundil paid tribute to the former counicil and its members for their dedication and achievement. 11e said that the restructuring of government in 1,974 was for the purpose of directing more power back to local councils. To accept this responsibility, be said, council must equip itself will all knowledge available concerning munic- ipal affaîrs. "We have no longer a Municipality in isolation." The Mayor said a top priority was improved com- munications with the people we represent and suggested a local office be set up wbereby ail questions could be chan- nelled, regional or local and where answers could be readily available. 11e also pointed out that the Officiai Plan had been implemented and that proposais must now be resolved into action. H1e S said future development must be sensitive to and supportive of that which already exists in the Town of Newcastle. Ans- wers must more readily be given and solutions more quickly found, he said. The Mayor spoke of the proposai for the complete refurbisbing of the Main Street in Bowmanville and said that similar attention should be directed to Orono and Newcastle and more attention focused upon the identity and character of the smaller Ramiets. H1e emphasized that attent- ion should also be directed toward the development of cultural and recreational pro- grams for senior citizens and that couricil should continue tQ work in close co-operation with the Board of Education.

"As a council, we must address ourselves to the inequality in assessment from wAhich taxes are collect- ed. We have inherited four different assessment factors wbich cause unfairness in taxes and 1 will ask council for a complete review of the taxing structure," he said. H1e spoke of the tremendous pro.posals as the Darlington Generating Station, Regional Waste Disposai, Eldorado and the Wesleyville Generat- ing Station to the east as well as 25 miles of hydro transmis- sion lines to pass through the municipality and the count- less problems these will have affecting individuals.

Jim is now investigating the possibility of assisting with a radio service to Ham operat- ors under the jurisdiction of the Radio Society of Ontario. Through this Society all radio messages are logged and Ham operators within Ontar- io make use of the service. The service operates seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with local operators volunteering their service wil.h their equipment for a period of one hour during the day or week, as the case may be. It is through this service that one Ham operator may find out whether another is operating and if contact may be made at that particular lrne. At the present time Jim is sharpening up on his Morse code transmissions and states that he finds this much more rewarding in communicat- ions than through audio transmission which he also carnies on with fellow Ham operators. He said be wished take an interest in this part of communication which can be of a great reward.

From a kit, he along with his son, Brin», have assembled a' helicopter and are working towards the day they can put it into full flight.
