He also noted that Emm, as former budget chair- man, had brought in a 7.9 per cent increase in the Town por- tion of the tax bill in 1987. Stating that "This campaign is about leadership" to begin the mayoral candi ate encounter, Attersley then had cited statis- tics showing that Town tax in- creases ha averaged four per cent over the past four years. He said the business and industry were paying more in taxes while the residential portion had decreased. Attersley also noted that 10,700 people were employed in Whitby business and industry this year as compared to 3,300 in 1978. Ïe noted that the down- town is a "viable commercial area with enormous potential," and that $2.5 million in improve- ments had been spent on the downtown since 1981. Attersley, elected to council in 1964, also said he wants to meet with LASCO representatives and provincial representatives about Wbitby's har r area which he said has to be updated. Whitby's seniors also need improved facili- ties, he concluded in the his opening statement. Emm opened by saying that, as mayor, he would propose a two-year freeze on the Town por- tion of the municipal tax bill. (Emm has previously stated that Whitby's tax base is sufficient to provide more services without raising taxes). Emm also said residents need better services closer to where they live, and that community groups "will be happy to assist» in establishing those services. He added that Whitby needs a mayor who will make developers provide services. As for his own record, Emm, chairman of Durham Region works committee, said he began recycling in Whitby and has con- sistently "worked for environ- mental protection." Referring to Attersley's pre- vious unsuccessful attempt to make Whitby a city, Emm said that "Unlike Mayor Attersley, I do not want Whitby to turn into a city." EAST WARD Planning and development were almost unanimously men- tioned as the big issues in the east ward by the five candidates for the seat there. Pat • Dooley, who led off remarks, blasted council for vot- ing on matters about which it had only partial information and said spot zoning and "hapha- zard" development was the result. He said he would have agendas available to the public a week before a meeting and would would push for a bylaw for each of the 29 environmental areas in Whitby. Dennis Fox said a review should be made of Whitby's out- dated official plan, and that growth be controlled. He argued for increased citizen participa- tion, enforced standards in Whitby to protect the environ- ment, a recreation facility for the east ward. Geoff Rison's concerns also related to planning and develop- ment, as he descri bed Whitby as a " ushover" for developers. He sai the Town wasn't getting enough from developers. Cathy Rowell said issues, one RE-ELECT GERRY COX WHITBY HYDRO- ELECTRIC COMMISPION Commission Chairman Commission Experience Committed To Serve Your Interests dates for the north ward seat opened debate at last week's all-candidates'meeting. Incumbent Ross Batten of Ash- burn, first elected in 1980, opened by taking swipes at elec- tion sign thieves an at certain members of the media for their "poison pen.» He said such mem- bers of te press "don't have the guts" to seek election themselves. Batten, a businessman, noted that he had worked hard te represent the ward and offered commitment and dedication to represent all north ward consti- tuents. Apparently in reaction to a previous statement by his opponent Brian Wick that the voice of Brooklin residents should be paid more heed, Bat- ten said in his final statement that he was accessible te all residents of the north, including Brooklin. Wick said that government was the product of good com- munication, and ptomised to hear the concerns of res dents and then act accordingly. He said he had once seen committee members accuse a "gentleman" of not stating his point when ques- tions were directed at him. "I hope that never happens on council if I'm elected,"said Wick. Wick said his business back- à ound enabled him to make ecisions about growth, including Brooklin's future growth. PAGE 2, WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1988 of two major facéts to .a cam- paign are alwaysichanging and would be «what you say they are" if she was elected. She said the second facet, leadership, involves learning from people who have expertise about certain matters and then deciding. Bob White a former Whitby councillor, heped to bringr about the official plan in 1973 but said the documeàt now has to be "finalized." lHe noted that resi- dents want Icontrolled develop- ment. He also proposed that the Town force an issue over expan- sion of the Whitby hospital in the next provincijal election. In responsq to a question about the LASCOIberm, Rowell said she was anxious to Iearn if public hearings would be held and said a careful look has to be made to preserve Whitby's shoreline heri- taeson, a teacher Who has train- ing in geography ahd eothermo- logdescribed as a snow ob" LASCO's contention that ea- chate won't go the substructure of the site ofethberm. He said he had no doubt that leachate would end up in Lake Ontario, since there was no such thing as an "impermeable glacial till. "If rm elected I will lead the charge to find out the true facts about if before anything is done,» said Rison. In response to a question about making Bowman Ave. one-way because of the location of the Canadian Tire gas bar, White urged further investigation while Dooley said the street should be made one-way south to stop traf- fic ing north from the station. ox, asked further about his desire for more recreation facili- ties, said he did not mean .a sports complex in every ward but rather more money directed toward certain recreation, parti- cularly in the east ward. Dooley said he has suggested 14 years ago that money go into regional parks and ice surfaces ratber than Iroquois Park. Rowell dismissed a question about party politics involved in municipal government, noting there is no one party line deci- sion that can be made on each and every individual municipal decision. Fox, aparently in ref- erence to one o the candidates, mentioned "It's not I who have the Oshawa lawyers running the campaign for them." Fox, who had previously men- tioned his past appearances before council on matters, noted that the other four candidates had felt it was a good time to seek election since one had retired, two were about to retire, and that Rowell, now with grown-up children, felt it was time to run. Fox added to the crowd, however, "And at your expense," which drew a chorus of boos. Later, Fox told The Free Press that it was not his intention to nsult other candidates. "Basically I was asking where they had been in the past," said Fox. (Fox and iRowell formerly star- ted and organized the Education Action Committee, but a dis- agreement last year resulted in ox's resignation).
