The Clarington Independent, Bowmanvillc, Saturday, November 12,1994 3 From page one taining to the Bowmanvillc Zoo and Mosport Park, the fees have been high. "There has been much said about paying out over $1 million in legal fees." She noted neither of the candidates candidates have said anything about the municipality having recovered some of the fees paid out. The mayor pointed out that none of the councillors, department heads or herself has a municipal credit card. Speaking further on expenses, she noted the councillors were no longer paid to go to and from work. As for a $7,000 raise for the Chief Administrative Officer, Mayor Mayor Hamre joked she had received a call from the chief administrator's wife who was wondering where the extra money was, since she certainly hadn't seen it. As for expenses depleting the municipality's reserve funds, the in cumbent noted that since 1992, interest interest rates have plummeted. In most cases, by five percentage points. She pointed out that one reserve reserve fund in particular was completely completely depleted with the building of the new 24-hour fire station in Bowman Bowman ville. Mayor Hamre also noted that slams against the road reconstruction reconstruction in Orono were unwarranted, since the work was not being done on only one road but on three streets in the village. The funding was under the federal federal provincial infrastructure program which saw the municipality pay for one-third of the construction costs. Regarding the claim by mayoralty mayoralty hopeful Reg Willatts that the newsletter "Report on Clarington" was printed in Mississauga, she said: "The industrial letter, our promotional promotional vehicle, is printed by Newcastle Newcastle Graphics."

Two of the three mayoralty hopefuls hopefuls were present. Mayoralty candidate candidate Reg Willatts sent his regrets. During the question-and-answer period, area residents found out that the two separate school board trustee trustee hopefuls in attendance, Donna Lucas-Astley and Caroline Burke, see eye-to-eye on the teaching of abstinence abstinence to students. However, Public School Trustee Bob Willsher said, students need to have more facts. School board candidate candidate Beverly Wakefield agreed and noted she would prefer to see an explanation of all options. Bill Loft- gren told the group: "no comment, for personal reasons." On the subject of a municipalwide municipalwide transit system, Regional Council Council hopeful Randy Flint told the crowd "without a car, many people are stranded. This issue should be studied." Bill Clarke noted maybe not a municipal-wide transit, but a local transit system would be appropriate, incumbent Ann Dreslinski noted: "It would cost multi-million dollars and would mean taxing you." She also said she is not willing to do that to Ward 3 residents. Local hydro commission hopefuls hopefuls offered some creative ideas to work around the current three- month deposits. Paul Ressor suggested a small deposit, Suzanne Elston directed people to note the commission has already dealt with the issue, as did incumbents George Van Dyk and Pauline Storks. Looking at the business area of Newcastle Village, one person asked what local councillors would do to fix it up. Incumbent councillor David Scott said he would meet with the Newcastle DBIA, since "they would know what they want and look to them for guidance." Local councillor hopeful, Bonnie Cunningham, said she would support support the DBIA if their funding would allow refurbishing of the streetscape. Other issues the candidates got cracks at included violence in the schools, how to attack the debt of Ontario Hydro, book-banning, phonics, phonics, and attracting new business to Clarington.
