J Set Budget Guidelines Protest Srs. Apartments From Page 1 per cent and be prepared to have politicians take a slice at it," she added. Councillor Ivan Hobbs said he did not support the flve-per cent limits imposed last year. He added that there are one-shot items which Were in the budget in 1983 and which could be removed for 1984 without bringing in any other items to replace them. ; Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said the budget should start with a clean slate and then proceed to justify justify every item listed. This method of financial planning is called zero- base budgeting. Councillor Hamre said the budget is only intended to give staff a guideline which they can work from. "I don't think that means the taxes are going up five per cent." Council will kick off its budget talks January 6, when the topic will be salary negotiations. Budget talks will consist of informal informal discussion among councillors who will work from papers prepared prepared by staff. This year's budget plans call for a briefing of the press once the town's 1984 financial blueprint has been discussed at the committee level and before it has been sent to council for formal adoption. Broken Leg Threatens squares to clearly show the days of the month. The best feature of the calendar isi that each of the squares holds a small celophane-wrapped candy cane. Jeff started out the month with a 31 day supply of the mint canes but as the days pass he has made a respectable dint in his candy calendar. Moreover, Jeff had one ultra special visitor recently. While Santa was in Bowmanville for the town's Christmas Parade last month, he made a bed-side hospital visit, thrilling the wide-eyed boy and leaving him with two books, two pencils and a box of crayons. The best gift that Jeff could receive, receive, however, would be a guarantee guarantee that he will bed down in his own home Christmas Eve and wake up to Christmas Day with his parents and family. Meanwhile, as the holiday approaches approaches and the leg mends, Jeff knows that there are a number of people thinking of him. The wall beside beside his bed is papered with cards from friends, family and school From Page 1 chums. And keeping him company - never more than arm's length away - is a pile of stuffed toys including Grandpa Smurf, E.T., and a teddy bear. When Jeff tires of watching television television and the tedium of a hospital stay becomes oppressive, he switches gears and dreams about his Christmas list and Santa. Included Included in his order is a walkie-talkie walkie-talkie set, Pac Man game and a four by four truck. Should fate prohibit Jeff from going home for the holiday, he will, nevertheless, spend Christmas with his family. Hospital staff have told the Tuckers that Christmas dinner, complete with all the trimmings, will be served to them in Jeffs room. So, in spite of the broken leg and traction,,and an undecided future in terms of his release, Jeff will be able to celebrate with Mom, Dad and his sisters and brother. This guarantee, however, doesn't stop him from hoping that the holiday celebrations will take place at home. From Page 1 But Elmer Pollard, owner of the land, and Derrick Owen, architect for the project, both stated that the residents' fears were unfounded. Mr. Owen explained that the complex complex would be located on approximately approximately 8.5 acres of land and he added that only two acres would be used for buildings. The remaining landscaped area would enhance the surrounding community, he said. Moreover, the architect suggested that apartments would be a minimum of 135 feet from the lot line of the adjoining homes and would be screened by trees at least 25 feet high. "There's no way in this world they would ever see the building," he said. The tallest portion of the buildings buildings would be 70 feet high. "There is a very big difference between high rise and high density," the architect architect explained. Mr. Owen noted that area wells , would not be threatened because the apartment buildings are without without basements and footings extend no more than five feet into the ground. He also stated that matters related to traffic from the site could be resolved. Elmer Pollard told the committee that the development would likely be built in four phases over a three year period. He added that the petition petition presented to council by opponents opponents of the plan was obtained with out all of the correct information being provided. He said he has a petition of his own containing 40 names in support of the complex. Mr. Mckenna, a spokesman for some of the property owners who would be neighbours of the apartment apartment complex, told councillors that he has no objection to single family residences in this area. "I have no objection to further development development as long ,as it is on the same concept that was originally expected," said resident Bill Bickle. Another resident who commented commented on the project, Barry Johnson, spoke of the need for a buffer zone between low density and high density development. Johanna Ullman told the committee committee that the apartments near the houses would detract from privacy and lower land values. "As soon as apartment buildings go up, the value of properties goes down," she said. Town staff will take into account the matters raised at this week's public meeting when they prepare their recommendations for the suitability of a high-density apartment apartment complex at this location. A report on the apartment proposal proposal will be forwarded to the general general purpose and administration committee for a review in January or February of next year, Planning Director Terry Edwards said.

The committee has recommended that the low bid of Regional Reclaimers, Reclaimers, of Newcastle, be accepted by council. The 'bid <from> -.tiÿs company was recoiii- mended by town staff after it submitted the lowest of three tenders.

Several newspapers published details of a demand made on you by Department Department of National Revenue (who co-operate with Provincial tax-collectors) through the local court. Of course, hard-working, community conscious ordinary folks such as yourselves, entrust tax return preparation to "professionals." Columnist- analyst Ronald Anderson, in today's Globe and Mail, describes present regulations as "a labyrinth" "taking up too much of Canada's brainpower." This situation gives Revenue agents "open season" on entrepreneurs who must constantly struggle to retain sufficient of the money they earn so as not to borrow beyond their means. Billions of dollars from both "direct" and "indirect" levies go into Consolidated Accounts from which can be paid such services as $700.00 a day for a consultant plus $761'.00 for a government- style chair for his friends (at Waste Management Corporation) to sit on (while pondering "restraint" and/or "conservation"). We, who must pinch pennies and wrack our brains to survive, pay for all this ostentaciousness and high-living, including such insults as $48.00 or $74.00 for a single meal; $100.00 for a night's lodging while the governmental^ governmental^ ensconced travel, finding ways to "serve us better." Guidelines are ignored. Judiciary, in its wisdom, should fully understand the reluctance of hardworking humble taxpayers to instruct their accountants to "err on the side of generosity" so as to fund Governments who -- despite promises (Darcy McKeough) repeatedly fail to balance THEIR budgets (i.e. "in 1982", "etc," "etc,"), The Wesleyville fiasco is a local example of how $millions are squandered when politicians ignore the advice of sensible, knowledgeable experts ("madness ("madness to use oil for STATIC (stationary) power plants" - E. Schreyer). On the FEDERAL LEVEL, there was no law against "loaning" (giving) about $150 million to Algeria WHICH WAS WASTED CONSTRUCTING A HUGE, METAL MONUMENT -- THERE. Likewise, Leonard Rosenberg was able to export $30 million to his friend Bianco Weiss in Switzerland. A gambler stole $10 million in Toronto and exported this, too, so that NO BENEFIT ACCRUES CANADIANS. Hopefully, our fiscal pundits will sit around an ordinary table on some plain chairs with their $100,000.00 (plus) Lawmaking Associates and give Revenue agents the tools they need to rid Canada of its shysters, parasites and manipulators. Then, they will be too busy to bother hard-working plain people like you and Betty who provide useful services, economically. A Concerned Citizen.
