. The Major JERRY TAYLOR WARD 3 CANDIDATE Water: , Tons 'water prob- lem has been solved but I was enraged at the way the contract was handled by the Region. I They approved approx. $76,000.00 to test drill approx. 7 sites in the sur- rounding area and the after the money was used, they went to the site that was recommended over five years ago as the most suit- able site for water source. Now, this new well is pro- ducing 1,000 gal. per minute, enough water to supply all the needs of Port Perry, Prince Albert. This is a typical way the Region has of wasting the taxpayers dollars and valu- able time. Sewage: At present our system will accomodate approx. 4,000 population. To grow beyond this we require a proper treatment sewage plant which I be- lieve is scheduled for around 1978. I believe that a councillor is put in office by the people to represent them, make decisions on their behalf and most important to be available to listen to them when they want to express their views. I hope I have done this in the past. For Ward III, the main issues seem to be high taxes and road maintenance and service. Taxes: The Council and I worked very hard and suc- * ceeded in keeping the bud- get cut to ensure no rise in our local portion of the tax "mill rate. " 1 must commend the roads department for their excellen effort in maintain- ing "Wary III roads, also their co-operation given to me with the numerous prob- lems that have arose. Penitentiary: To me is a dead issue but for some reason seems very much alive on Scugog Island. However, if it were to sur- face again in our Township, I feel that after the turmoil and conflict it has caused between good neighbours and friends in our Township and also our neighbours and Township that the only pro- per way to solve this issue is to go to the people with a referendum. Development: I am in favour of steady slow development in our Town- ship and pressing hard to promote and encourage a proper portion of light clean industry, which is needed to offset taxes and provide jobs. CLIFFORD REDMAN WARD 3 CANDIDATE "As Councillor for Ward 111, T would plan' to, repre- sent all the people on all the issues. I would listen to and fry to reflect the wishes of the ratepayers. The following are some of the' more important matters that will face the new council: Industry: Attraction of light, clean industry to pro- vide local jobs and help maintain a healthy tax structure. This would help to limit the high cost of commuting borne by many of our citizens. Development: Planned con- trolled development in all areas of the township to avoid overpressuring ser- vices and to help to prevent urban sprawl. This development should be allowed to take place in all built up communities of the township so that people will have a choice in the location of their homes. Reception Centre: The matter of the Penitentiary Reception Centre, if raised again, should be decided by a referendum. If an issue of this importance arises, the people of the Township should have a democratic right to express their wishes. Tourist Industry: Better promotion of the tourist and recreation industry. Lake Scugog borders on all wards of the Township. As the urban dweller is looking for recreation closer to home, our Lake is becoming an ever increasing valuable natural resource. VOTE MONDAY, DECEMBER 6th It's Your Privilege and Duty PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Dec. 1, Election Issues "NEIL McLAUGHLIN WARD. 4 CANDIDATE The Township of Scugog needs a 22-year-old Coun- cillor: 'With the large number of young couples moving into our communities, I feel they need a young aggressive representative on the local council. With myself being a young homeowner, I stare . in wonderment along with them at our taxes. I feel this is a major issue of this' - election. Spending.must be altered or controlled to bring these taxes to a more moderate level. After working on the roads department for the past 27%. years, I've-gecome aware of the lack of interest these subdividers e in our communities. Their only interest is erecting houses, selling them and leaving the community as soon as possible. Our town- ship is left with unfinished roads, ditches and parkland for recreation. This is where a lot of tax money is going; bringing our sub- divisions up to standards acceptable to the people living in them. With the original price of these houses along with taxes on the houses these people deserve higher standards. I feel recreation is another issue. I feel recre- ation facilities in the com- munity whether for senior citizens or pre-schoolers cannot be neglected. Young people today need organized recreation which will give them an interest in our great community. I feel a recreation committee is needed in the whole of the Township of Scugog to. organize year round sports using our facilities we now - have in each hamlet. Being a councillor isn't a new thing to the McLaugh- lin clan. My grandfather Russell McLaughlin and my fathér, Carl, were both councillors. I'm interested in the Township of Scugog and I feel it's time for me to try for a seat. I hope you will consider me on December 6th. JOHN WOLTERS WARD 4 CANDIDATE My wife and I have spent the 18 years farming and raising our family in Cart- wright. Having been a taxpayer and parent, I have the same day-to-day concerns as most citizens, -and I can assure the electorate it will be my endeavour to recognize and deal with all issues whether big or small. The significant issue has, undoubtedly, shown up on our tax bills which indicate an increase in many cases of 50 per cent increase over the past three years. This is most alarming and it is obvious that extensive effort will have to be made to attract additional industry, combined with very close control on municipal spending. A responsibility exists to ensure that adequate fire and police protection is maintained for the safety and welfare of our com- munity. Garbage disposal prob- lems, roads and works, are also very important with a need for a planned program of maintenance and improvements within the means of the budget. A recreation program is very necessary and our arena and parklands must be kept in reasonable repair and in accordance with required, standards. Your interests are my interests, and I sincerely ask your support to allow me the opportunity to serve the community. P. BARKER, D.T. is pleased to announce the opening of his practice of DENTURE THERAPY for the provision of a Complete Denture Service 111 DUNDAS St. W., WHITBY 668-1464 1976 -- 29 BILL RINGHAM WARD 4 CANDIDATE I believe every effort should be made by our Council at the regional level to try for a re-assessment of our tax base. Possibly they may not get too far at first, but jit should be pursued with the utmost vigor. Also on growth and the develop- ment, first I feel all of .the towns, hamlets and villages should become built up areas and farm land remain for farms. Industry, light ~~ "eavy, should only be <liv.. JOHN complete research of cost to Township has been com- pletely studied and analysed versus the cost of residen- tial growth. The cost of maintaining plant services, water, sewers and roads can be very expensive, - especially when we receive 'the same tax dollar from the region for industry as we do from residential. Also culture and recreation should - receive some con- sideration because we have - a region rich in natural resources that possibly could in some ways be made to return a new source of income. I also feel that the resid- ence of the Township should be receiving better road service, improved water drainage help, etc. The problems are being left far too long and are now becoming major complaints and issues. This all leads to the natural conclusion we are just about at the stage of development when all Coun- cillors should be full time. GOSS WARD 4 CANDIDATE Reading the articles sub- mitted by the candidates in last week's paper one can sense a recurring thread of concern for the future of our township. Mentioned in the articles are the need for moderate development, a workable zoning by-law, the Official Plan adoption and industrial assessment. I agree with these men. | would add the preservation © of prime farm land as a priority (I understand this is included in the official plan). I lived in South Pickering (which is not part of our region) in the early sixties during a most difficult period of hodge podge development. 1 saw decis- ions made which brought undesirable results. I don't want the same thing to happen here. Already our residential assessment is vastly out of balance and our lake is in danger. Your elected councillor must be able to listen, assess, communicate and co-operate if the interests of this ward and the entire township are to be adequate- ly served. _ Idon't suggest that I have all the answers but only ask that I may have your per- mission to work on the coun- cil team as it grapples with these challenges. Your vote December 6th will make this possible. eo Adult Fiction - Except Sundays - "The Front Room" ANTIQUES & BOOKS ® Children's Books - Classic Tales & Canadiana Paperbacks. eo Antiques & Collectables of Early Canada. ® A Search Service for Antiques.
