Two members of councill wil ose their seats as a resui't,-ofDecême mncpa leto At least two of the present memibers of Whitby Council will lose their seats in the Decemnber municipal election, the Free Press predicts. The Free Pres bases this prediction on information received from usually reliable sources and the inevitable implications of that informa- tion. One report filtered through to us has one of the present six councilors seek- îwg the mayoraty, currently held by Jim Gartshore. At press Urne, the councillor involved was unavailable for comment.- Howéver, the Free -Press ias able to contact Mayor 'Gartshore who declined to comment on whether or flot he would seek re-election. We expeci he wîi stand. Rhat wçuld mean that either the unnameSd hopeful or the incumbent would lose their present seat. Another report bas, one councillor, flot presently a member of regional council, contesting a seat in the regional chanibers. That counceillor would neither dény nor confirm the report. If the report is true and ail of Whitby's present representa- tives to regional council stand for re.election, at least one present town council miember will lose their seat. It appears that most of the present rnembers of cbuncil, however, will choose to remain in their current positions.' However, somne of themn may have a tough. time fight- ing off' the efforts of those trying to earn a position Some names presently being bandied about as possible council hopefuls are Mike Burgess, owner- of M.B.M. Publishing and Photography lncorporated which publishes the Free Press, Graydon Colvile, Pat Dooley,- Joe Drumm, John Goodwin and Bob White. Some would flot make a statement and others were unavailable for comment. Mike Burgess, who is presently out of the country on holidays, lus earned the respect of mnany of bis fellow Whitby residents since taking over sole-ownership of this local newspaper and through lus involvemnent in many community groupS. Some of his behind.the-sce work came to light recently with his extensive research and his public presentations to keep the Whitby Police Station open. He is being encouraged to seek a seat on local council by several ,Whitby-ites and will likely run in the ward he lives and pays taxes i. John Goodwin, who bas experience i local polities at the town and regional levels, said "I have flot lost my interest in municipal politics". 1-week trial More people ridi.ng on Whitby Transit UChs arinxways CoGm ~rlut is *anung in puait.a.odngr ser'.ice pain tht 10-ixtk The ~csiof bth trî- me ni. mc i tt a2',a Qhiaiterioays.
