Rose, and on the right is area councillor Jerry Regional chairman Reg Rose noted that Scugog Township has done well within Durham region with new services such as water and sewer. But he suggested this rate of growth of hard services will not be as dramatic in the next couple of years. Newly elected area coun- cillor Jerry Jackman said his main objective over the next couple of years will be to work to bring further unity among the four wards that make up Scugog. And Ward 4 councillor John Wolters, also newly elected, called for a 'Spirit of co-operation" on council so that "decisions benefit all the people of Scugog." Durham Region chairman $¥alter Beath (who faces a stiff challenge today (Wed- nesday) in his bid to retain the chairman's position) was on hand for the first meeting, and he had some high words of praise for both Scugog Township and outgoing mayor Lawrence Malcolm. Mr. Beath said the amal- gamation into Scugog has gone smoothly over the past five years, and he called o Lawrence Malcolm a "true 4 gentleman".

Gary Herrema, newly elected mayor of Scugog's neighbour to the west, Ux- bridge Township, was also a guest at the first meeting, and he paid tribute to the work of Lawrence, Malcolm eo at the regional level.
