The older people on council have been in there for years but their ideas were gone years ago." Gellatly insists he is an earnest person who will work for a solution to a problem as well as com- plain about one. In the last year he has campaigned for federal and municipal candidates in Waterloo, as well as keeping up his watch on council. “It is impossible for iter- -tatocomeotf tested and p to a meeting and learn anything from com- cil. If you wait to people ' with the council meets," Geuatly said. He also feels that the regional government is not communicating well with anyone except themselves.

The res- ponsibilities of the muni- cipality and the region are not different and both should share the decision making power. But the region is tak- ingovertoomuch at once." "I've grown up in the city and seen a lot on” chang- es. I don’t like tearing down old buildings just because they are old," he said. But he senses that the plans for Waterloo are al- ready decided upon. "A new sewage plant is being prepared tor Water- loo. This will ensure that growth comes.
