Regional: the number of phone calls he receives, said Mr. Young. Nonetheless, he is optimistic that public underâ€" standing and interest in regional government is on the upswing. There is ‘"not as much blind objéction."‘ One reason is the public has had more examples this past year of where the region can help them. For example, regional council kiled an idea to conâ€" struct a *arbage recycling plant near Breslau, responding favourably to concerns expressed by Bresâ€" lau and area residents. Another example is the region‘s help in pushing for the implementation of market value assessment this year throughout the region to solve tax inequities in parts of Kitchener and Cambridge. It‘s an issue where the region has no official role but they have pursued a solution with the province. _ But there were disappointments, the major one being council‘s recent rejection of a uniform sewage rate throughout the region. _ _ _ _ 80 "I hope the issue isn‘t closed," Mr. Young said, "*Eventually, I think it will come back." _ {s Kitchener and Cambridge councillors voted unanimously against the policy which would have cost their cities money over the next few years to the benefit of the five other municipalities. But Mr. Young felt the proposal would have provided help to people who needed it at little cost to Kitchener and Cambridge. The growth of parochialism, which was reflected in that decision, is a ‘"‘case of reluctant progress", he says. Council is still making progress in that area but it‘s a case of two steps forward for one step backward. THE KITCHENERâ€"WATERLOO GYMNASTICS CLUB | Essentially people are fair and decent, he beâ€" ligves, but notes councillors‘ mandates and power bases are in their own local municipalities. o He understands the growth emergence of parochialâ€" ism from time to time, but would like to see it followed by a reâ€"commitment to regionalism. _ _ What he doesn‘t like is a sectionalist attitude, the thinking that goes ‘I won‘t vote for your project beâ€" cause you didn‘t vote for mire.‘ Each issue should ride on its own merit, he said. / Cambridge councillors at the beginning of last year came to the region with renewed vigor and a pledge to plead their city‘s case more gggres_sively. "I‘m not so sure an aggressive stance has more impact,‘"‘ Mr. Young said. ‘"Maybe it‘s the reverse." On the long term, he doesn‘t feel it is a major concern, though. ‘"There‘s too much at stake." _ _ But he added: "I can‘t fault any municipality for taking an aggressiveattitude at the region.

Mr. Young doesn‘t downgrade, other people‘s opinion simply because he disagrees with them as long as they are hased on logic and solid informaâ€" tion. But that doesn‘t mean he doesn‘t fight for what he believes is right. The chairman has been pleased with the re gion‘s relationship with the provincial government who, he says, has been highly sensitive to theâ€"needs here. ? One example, is the recently established social resources council, the first one in Ontario, which took four years to setâ€"up. It‘s very easy to spend money in the social service field, he points out, and sorting out the priorities and needs is where the council will be able to help out. * Mr. Young is looking forward to having some body to refer issues to for inâ€"depth consideration reâ€" garding such problems as duplication of services and discussion on the value of various services. .

He will be unveiling early this year a scheme to establish a citizens advisory committee on waste management, a problem the region will have to grapple with in 1978. _ ____ _ _ _ o However, he doesn‘t give blanket support to citizens committees since they can weaken the authority of elected officials if too much thinking is delegated to citizens groups. ‘"People elect you to make the decision and do the job. You‘re really copping out if you don‘t."‘ Five years ago, Mr. Young did not have a master blueprint as to where he would like to see the reâ€" gion be after his term of office. But within the proâ€" vincial legislation setting up the regiop, there were some specific target dates for some projects, such as the completion of an official plan, dates which have been met. "I had hoped we could meet those deadlines and essentially we‘ve done that." o o â€" And he will leave his job at the end of next year with a feeling that he did the best he could do. Perâ€" sonal plans include a sabbatical ("I want to purge myâ€" self from what I‘ve been doing‘‘) and a less demandâ€" ing job after that. _ 2o l t a 5 s Five years ago, Mr. Young entered the chairman‘s office with high hopes but no illusions.
