As my resume indicates, I am already employed full time in a shift work position with the Durham Regional Police as a 9-1-1 Operator/ Dispatcher. I realize taking on such committment with council could be taxing, but there is enough flexibility in my job that adjustments to my schedule could be made. Politically, I am a relative "novice". However, I foil>low both the federal and provincial scenes intensely, and certainly, the impact of Paul Martin's Canada Social Transfer. will have a profound impact on both provincial and municipal programs. And recent statements by members of the new provinccal government indicate the provincial books are in a sad state, and once again, the municipal ties will feel the "pinch". Faced with reduced services or increased property taxes, I support the former in a "gradual" fashion. On welfare and/or workfare, I agree with the principal if the province is going `to operate it, they should fund it total?y, as opposed to a 80-20 split. I have touched on a couple of issues here, if only to give you an idea of my "feelings" on certain issues. In closing, I realize with regular council meetings and committee work, the hours in the day would be taken up quite rapidly. But 1 am willing to put in~ the time. I would also hope that council would seriously look at an "outsider" like myself, not someone who cou?d be perceived as a political "insider". In other words, a fresh face. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to an interview.

Barrie, Clerk Municipality of Clarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario, L1C 3A6 Dear Ms. Barrie: I am pleased to apply for the position of Regional Councillor as advertised -in the Canadian Statesman on July 28, 1995. I believe that I have experience and qualities that could have a positive impact on Council, the Municipality of Clarington and Durham Region. I have taken an active and leading role in many facets of life in Clarington through both business and volunteer experience. I am a partner in Collis & Reed Research, a Bowmanville based full service research company that specializes in the opinion and survey research. Our company, Collis & Reed Research, has conducted a number of public service projects specifically aimed at obtaining and understanding the views of citizens of Clarington. These projects were taken on by our company without charge, in order that our company give something back to the municipality in which we operate. These projects include, a poll of citizens within Clarington to determine their opinions on the direction of Council masters, a survey of youth within Clarington to determine their needs and a telephone poll of Clarington residents opinions about the new Courtice Community Centre. These projects have allowed me not only to provide some public service to my community, but have allowed me to gain insight into the concerns and issues of ir}~erest to Clarington residents. I am also a co-chair of the Clarington Business Group. The Claringto nBarea essrh~Group comprised of small and medium sized business people from the Clanngto meets on a monthly basis to share and promote business ser~~ices and experiences. My responsibilities with the Clarington Business Group include, developing ideas for upcoming meetings, organizing the breakfast meetings, advertising and listening to concerns of group members. It is through the Clarington Business Group that I have learned much about the concerns of small business within Clarington and about the relationship between small business and the Municipality. I am a member of Council's Ad Hoc Committee to Assist Youth. Through this Committee, I have taken an active role in developing the Committee's Terms of Reference that were recently accepted by Council. This plan of action sets forth a procedure that will enable a comprehensive review youth issues. This review will provide the basis for the Committee to propose a plan of action to assist youih within the Municipality. Page-2- In addition to my business and committee responsibilities, I also participate in hands on community work. I am currently the coach of a Tyke house league team in the Darlington Youth Soccer League. In the winter months I am a parent volunteer with a Bowmanville area Beaver Colony. These volunteer experiences have allowed me to better understand concerns of parents who are bringing up their children in the Clarin~ton area. As outlined above, since moving to the Clarington area three years ago, I have been involved in a considerable number of local activities that has afforded me the opportunity to listen to the concerns of Clarington residents. It is this spirit of involvement and communication that I hope to bring to the Ward 2 Regional Councillor's position. In fact, given the selection process for this position, I feel it is important to take unusual measures to co~2~iect with the citizens of Ward 2. That is why, if selected as Regional Councillor, I will work my first three monihs in office as if I was running in an election campaign. 1\4y goal will be to knock on every door in the Ward so I can introduce myself directly to constituents, listen to their concerns and ideas, and begin to demonstrate that I will be working for their interests. Beyond this, I will setting up a forum where citizens of Ward 2 can easily voice their opinions, ideas and concerns on an on-going basis, regarding Municipal and Regional issues. In summary I feel that I have the background, energy, and creativity to effectively represent the residents of Ward 2 at the Municipal and the Regional level.. I have enclosed my resume, supporting documentation and the form as requested in your advertisement. I appreciate both your time and your consideration in this matter.

REFERENCES Available upon request The Courtice Community Complex Debate: Wide Variety of Views Expressed on the Courtice Bowmanville Opinion Line Ron Collis & Maureen Reed Collis & Reed Research Last week, readers were asked to call the Courtice Bowmanville Opinion Line to express their opinions about the proposed plans for the Courtice Community Complex. Residents responded with a wide variety of comments about the Complex. Many callers stated that they were pleased with at least some aspects of the Complex. One caller was particularly impressed with the architects general design. "What I like about it from a design point is that it is very creati~•e and contemporary. It has open foyers and lots of natural light coming in both in the ltbrary and in the sc~imming area It is very creative. It is just not a square building that has been divided. I also think it is a very ~~ersatile Complex" Among the specific areas of the Complex that received positive comments, was the children's swim area. One caller stated. "The pool is wonderful because it has so many areas, for in_s7ance the children Play area is separate from the area where swimmers will be doing lengths" Another caller pointed out why children's pools are so important: "I have four small children of my own who need to use leisure rnrLmm~ng time, and there is only one pool in the of Durham and Clarington that my children can actually touch the bottom of the pool." The design of the pool area however was also a point of contention for many callers. Callers were upset that the that the shape of the pool would not fit stx swimming lanes and would therefore exclude the pool from being used by competitive swimmers. The arguments in favor of building a larger pool included the observation that most adults who use pool facilities, usually swim laps: "When people go to swim they don't go to socialize... if we Dave the lanes then it can accommodate extra people."

Besides, adult recreation usually mean swimming lengths. The extra lanes are a necessity." Others argued that facilities for competitive swimming is needed within the Courtice area. For example: "I have had my kids for three years in Whitby because of the lack of swimming space here.

"It doesn't sound like it will cost very much more money to add a couple of extra lanes, that wilt not only be used by competitive swimmers, but also adults in the community, so I think the views of the planners are rather short-sighted" One caller suggested that a way to find more space to accomodate a larger pool would be to delete the meeting rooms from the plans: "I don't understand why we need meeting rooms when we have schools right be side the Complex, there are gyms and cafeterias where people can meet if they need meeting rooms, as far as the pool goes, with the population growing the way it is we need al! the space we can get for the pool and we need the extra lanes." Callers also raised concerns about the library facilities: "Nobody seems to comment on the library. And it is a short coming.

The notion that the chief librarian in the area should be able to automatically state that we don't need a computer lab as we move into the 21st century when the electronic highway is going to be one of the biggest focuses for the continuing education for people of all ages is somewhat ludicrous." Another criticism among callers concerned gym facilities. One caller was concerned about the size and set up of the fitness area.

One caller commented: "I feel that having gym facilities is very important for the growing young population is the area. The school facilities will not adequately meet this need." In addition to the suggestions made about the pool, library and fitness centre, some other callers hoped that the complex would include a_skating rink and facilities for senior cifizens. Some callers expressed concern about the manner in which the community was consulted about the types of facilities needed in for the Complex: '"They said they did a survey of the area, but I and many other people at the information night never received such a survey.

Maybe it is time that we hear from the tax payers rather than Joe. I think that sometimes Joe oversteps his boundaries. I do appreciate the fact that we are getting a chance to have an opinion on how our tax dollars are spent. I do believe that the basic for this are good sports and room for everybody whether they are leisure sports or its having a children wading pool, I think it is long over due that our competitive swimmers are looked after. Didn't these municipal officials learn any lessons from the recession. We have all had to learn that it is important to make things extremely fiu~ctional and usefirl to all, is the key to survival. What sense does'it make to exclude a very major user group of the access to the pool. It is about time that Cania.na and his cronies a~alce up and smell the coffee. For the most part I like what I have seen of the t:ouztice Community Complex Of course there are things I also don't really like. But I wonder if too much complaining takes place, will the entire project be jeopardized?

When people go to swim they don't go to socialize or have a fancy bow shaped pool, if a~e have the lanes then it can accommodate extra poopie. I like the plan for the centre, but I would also like to see something in there for the seniors. I feel we need more information to properly evaluate this project. However, I feel that having gym facilities is very important for the growing young population is the area- The school facilities will not adequately meet this need. Also, looking into the future. it is ludicrous to design a pool only for recreational purposes. Besides, adult recreation usually means swimming lengths. The extra lanes are a necessity. I think if we're going to build a swimming pool we should build it properly the first time and accommodate the swimming clubs and make it so that we won`t hair to change things three years from now and say that we wish we had built the thing properly to start with. We should spend the extra money and build the thing properly so we don't have to go back on it. I would just like to say that I like the plans for the complex even with the swimming pool the size that they have given it. But i think that they could use a skating rink. But most of all I would just like to see the thing built because it about time and Courtice needs it_ I would like to see a gym for the kids to play in and a pool and a Lbrary. I think the pool and library are there but I want to see a gym for the kids to pixy in. I'm not very impressed with the pool only going four lanes.

I'm not very keen on having competitive swimming in the community ctntre. I think it should primarily be a family oriented facility. Nobody seems to comment on the l~bran_ And it is a short Doming. The question of the computerized information and learning centre Ras discussed at the community mating and this doesn't seem to have received any crncragc. In addition, the librazy is 2000 square fat smaller, than the consultants have originally suggested. I'm pretty satisfied with the plans with ever•lltirtg I read about it 1 just would like to see it built I'm very very pleased with the plans for the Courtice Community Complex because first of all it is a facility that we don't have right now and we need a great dial, so having a facility like this in the community is just wonderful. What I like about it from a design point is that it is very creative and contemporary. It has open foyers and lots of natural light coming in both in the library and in the swimming area. It is very creative, it is just not a square building that has been divided. I also think it is a very versatile complex. You can see it can be usable by mam~ age groups. For instance the pool azea is suitable for seniors, children and families. Everyone can realh~ use it because there aze so many different areas. Even seniors who Rant to come and watch children in the pool, there's an area for them to do that A snack bar and place where people can socialize. The all-purpose rooms can be used for lots and lots of things, and library of course can be used by any age group. I lnoa~ that people were critical because there Ras not a gym space, but ae have many schools in the azea that have really good gym areas and this isn`t really what the complex is for. I also like in the design tlx incorporation of usefiil outdoor space in the form of patio areas, its off the all-purpose room, that's great because when you have functions like weddings and dances, that occur at night, or when there are lots of smokers, in slot of places your kind of stuck, you gotta ~ga out to the parking lots, and that is the only place ynu can get a breather, but in this design you can actually walk out from the all purpose area and you ha~Y a patio: -Similar to the Holiday Inn which is very nice. The pool is wonderful because it has so many areas, for instance the children play area is separate from the area wbere swimmers will be doing lengths and I think this is often a conflict if you're in a public pool and people wanting to do lengths ha~°e children coming out from in front or behind and knocking them, so those areas are separate. There is also a wading pool for young people And I know people have ban critical because anybody can have a wading pool in your backyard, but you can`t have a wading poo18 to 10 months of the year in your backyard. An when you have young children it is wonderful to have that facility. I really can't think of any negati~-es, I know that some of the negatives that were brought up really only had to do with some of the special interest groups and people disappointed that certain things weren`t there, but as I see it, the things that are there are just wonderful. It is really difficult to have an informed opinion about the complex if you were not at the information meeting. I would really like to sa the papers give a complete description of what has been proposed. My biggest issue is with the pool. The comments is the ncaspapcr bs loe Catuana, about staying away from a rectangular dull pool is ridiculous. I'm a former competititi-e swimmer now an adult in the community and plan to have children here. It doesn`t sound like it will cost very much more money to add a couple of extra lanes, that will not only be used lry competitive sv~immers, but also adults in the community, so I think his view is rather shoR sighted. That whole community centre is not a bad idea, but when I look at the pool, the dam thing doesn't make any sense. We're going to have to raise alot of monry and people associated with Skate'88, just don't see the logic in that sort of pool. I really like the children's pool. There is a real need for it I have four small children of my own who need to use leisure swimming time, and there is only one pool in the of Durham and Clarington that my children can actually touch the bottom of the pool.

I like the rn~erall design of the arcs. But I think they left a few things out. The fitness centre is way too small, I don't think there is room to fit a court in or anything, or let alone even a small aerobics class (I don't know what the plans behind that are).

Thry should hate put the fitness centre area near the pool area so that we can still use the same facilities without walking across and the c~•hole area or around the area in exercise gear or what ever you need. It should have been all connected. I do think the overall design was good, and just wanted to make one more point that Joe Carauana gook his statistics for the swimming pool from the swimming registration. I for example don't regisur my children for swimming lessons because we tike to leisure swim. So he really didn't have the correct information as they said thry did They said they. did a survey of the area, and I and many other people at the information night never received such a survey. I don`t really know whether they had a clear vision of what we really need in the community. It seemed to me that they said that our opinions tncant something to them, but they haven`t really shown this to be the case. They didn't listen to our opinions, and they didn`t take accurau surveys. Yes ii is great to have this going up, but did they really Listen to the people of Courtice and the Clarington area as to what we really wanted, or was it just there own biases on what thry thought that we needed. And I really appreciate this line because I felt after the information night i couldn`t speak my piece, and I left very frustrated because I wasn't able to articulate my views on what I thought of the centre. The library is the source of real major concern to me. The notion that the chief librarian in the area should be able to automatically state that •we don`t need a computer lab as we move into the 21st century when the electronic highway is going to be one of the biggest focuses for the continuing education for people of all ages is somewhat ludicrous. With regard to the swimming pool, it is a secondary consideration for me, but I honestly think that could .honestly do with one children's pool and widen the adult pool to the six lanes. The architect said at that meeting that 250 people could be accommodated in the pool as it is currently designed. I have this ridiculous image of us standing shoulder to shoulder in that very small effort With all the talk and planning that went into the proposed Courtice Complex, I really do not feel confident that anyone really bothered to ask the citizens exactly what cue need in the complex.

Specifically, youths were queried about the organized and non-organized activities in which they currently participate. They were also asked how often there are activities of interest for them in their community. Further, these youihs were questioned about the types of activities they would most likely attend if available in their community. The following report describes the results from this survey. This report is an independent summary of the results from this study. All interpretations of the data presented in this report, solely reflect the vied=s of Collis & Reed Research. Study Objectives The objective for conducting this survey was to acquire information from the youth of Clarington that would help provide policy directions for the Clarington Youth Committee and to inform the general public about the needs of youths in Clarington. iti'fethodolo~~ Through consulting with a Survey Sub-Committee of the Clarington Youth Committee, Collis & Reed Research developed a survey that would help acquire information to meet the two study objectives listed above. The survey that Collis & Reed Research developed ~~as specifically designed to be administered to youths in a quick and easy fashion. The survey was made up of 8 questions that required respondents to make either multiple choice or rating scale responses. Response options used for the multiple choice questions were largely based on a pretest conducted by the Survey Sub-Committee in October 1993. In order to reduce research costs, the Survey Sub-Committee oversaw the distribution and.. collection of the survey.. The survey was distributed to 13 schools across the Municipality during May 1994. School officials were asked to distribute surveys to a sample of classes comprised of students between 12 to 19 years of age. A total of 1329 surveys were completed and returned to Collis & Reed Research. Data Analyses In the following section the responses from this survey are presented. The percentages from the full sample of 1329 respondents is on average accurate within 3%, 19 out of 20 times. -When analyses reported are split by gender and age or by gender and community, the percentages reported are accurate on average within 5%, 19 out of 20 times.

Further, Clarington residents were asked what they felt should be the number one priority of the Municipality at this time. This survey was conducted via telephone interviews during June and July of 1994. Collis & Reed Research received no compensation for this poll. Methodology The survey consisted of four open-ended questions: 1. What do you like most about living in Clarington? 2. What do you like least about living in Clarington? 3. What do you feel should be the Clarington Town Councils number one priority ? 4. How long have you lived in Clarington? Phone numbers were randomly selected from the 1993-1994 Regional Municipality of Durham and Surrounding Area Telephone Directory. The final digit of each telephone number was incremented by one so that unlisted numbers and residents who moved into the area after the publication date of the directory would be included in the sample. A total of 300 out of 421 residents contacted, agreed to answer these questions (a response rate of 71%). These respondents were equally distributed across the three Wards of the Municipality (100 residents per Ward). The length of the telephone interviews ranged from 1 to 3 minutes. In the following section the responses from this survey are presented. The percentages presented from the full sample of 300 is on average accurate within 4%, 19 out of 20 times. The percentages presented when the data is split by wards has a slightly higher error rates due to smaller sample sizes. Results What do you like most about living in Clarington?

Twenty-one percent said they most liked the open spaces and countryside in Caalington. Twelve percent most liked the fact that Clalington was rural but still conveniently located in easy access of Toronto, Oshawa and Peterborough. Eleven percent reported the peace and quiet of Caalington to be the feature of the Municipality they liked most. Five percent of the respondents reported other features such as, Caalington is a safe place to live, affordable and clean. These finding are summarized in the right- hand column of Table I. When residents responses to this question were split according to the 3 Wards that comprise the Municipality, some differences were observed. These differences largely reflect the urban to rural composition in each ward. In Ward I (the western part of the Municipality) equal proportions of respondents considered the small town atmosphere, open spacesJcountryside, quiet and peaceful to be the feature of Clalington they liked most. In Vdard II, (the Bown-tan~ille area), nearly half the respondents considered the small town atmosphere to be the quality they liked most about Clalington, 18% percent most liked Clarington's close proximity to places like Toronto, Oshawa and Peterborough. In Ward III (the eastern portion of the Municipalit}), 60% of the respondents either indicated they most liked either the small town atmosphere or the open spaces countryside. Twenty percent of respondents in Ward III had no opinion of what they liked most about livinu in Caalington. These findings are summarized in the centre three columns of Table I.

The tack of stores and businesses in Clarington was among the top two responses in all three Wards. In addition, 20% of residents in Ward I, least liked the lack of community services and facilities. This high response may reflect the outcome of an intensive lobbying effort for a community centre that took place in this area prior to the poll being taken. In Ward II, the second most frequent response (1 S%) was that residents least like the recent residential growth taking place in their community. In Ward III, nineteen percent of residents least liked the rise in taxes in recent years. Many of these residents stated they did not feel the rise in taxes translated into improved Municipal services. These findings are summarized in the centre three columns of Table I.I.

Improving community services and facilities was clearly the most frequent response among residents in Ward I, no other issue was mentioned by more than 10% of the residents. In Ward II, improving the business environment was the .most frequent response. However, improving community services/facilities and improving the quality of roads in Clarington were close behind being mentioned by 15 and 13 percent of the residents respectively. In Ward III, equal proportions of residents stated their top priorities were improving the business environment and improving community services and facilities. Ten percent of Ward III residents mentioned they would like protecting the environment to be Council's number one priority. Further, 8% of Ward III residents wanted to see improvements in utilities provided by the Municipality. It is interesting to note that Ward III residents were the only residents in the Municipality to consider improvements to utilities as a priority item for Council.

As is indicated in Tabte IV, the majority of respondents have lived in Clarington for eleven years or longer. Thirty-seven percent o: the respondents had lived in Clarington for less than six years. It is important to note these proportions are quite similar to proportions obtained in a study conducted by the Municipality in November of 1992 in which 5361 residents completed a public attitude survey. The consistency between samples lends additional support to suggest that the sample selected for the present study was representative of the greater Clarington population.

I am a local resident, currently residing at 82-A High Street, having previously lived at 64 Church St. since 1987. I am a Canadian Citizen, by .birth, and am fully qualified as an elector or candidate, and am active in local affairs as a member and chairman of two committees on the Bowmanville Museum Board (second term).. As regards political experience, I was Campaign chairman for Pat Pingle, and several years ago, was on the Committee to elect Norah Stoner as councillor in .:.Pickering. I also worked behind the scenes for William Lishman, when he ran for M. P. I regard local government as the one that most directly affects all citizens, and that decisions made at this level are crucial to the benefit of residents., businesses and services. It may not be a popular view, considering the upheavals our Nation is presently going through, but I feel most loyal to Bowmanville and its surroundings first, then to Ontario, and lastly, to Canada, even though I would pit my pride in my nationality and heritage against anyone's. It is also a truism, if a somewhat dated adage, that "A man's home is his castle", and my castle is located in this town. I choose to reside here, in spite of that decision making my life much more difficult economically than if I just picked up and moved to Toronto; I suppose this is the basis of mankind's earliest societies, tribalism -- I am a member of the local tribe, and as such, would like to make more of a contribution to its well-being and prosperity. I am in the early stages of developing my own business; a high-end, quality catering company, so I fully. understand and can. relate to the problems and concerns which affect local businesses, and would naturally be elated with the idea .that many and varied businesses would choose to locate here. On the other hand, there are also businesses that perhaps we wouldn't want -- those that cause irreparable harm to the environment, those which are deemed morally repugnant by the majority of the residents.. All of the needs of the local residents, homeowners, tenants, businessmen, employers, employees both private and municipal, must be taken into consideration when councillors make their decisions, at the same time disallowing their personal feelings. - 1 - olitical leanings, they are based on As regards my own p I would be moderation in all things.

Commissioner etc. :~ RESUME For the position of councilor Ward 2, Municipality of Clarington. My name is Len Gibbons. I am a Canadian citizen. I am 51 years old and live in Orono with my wife Sandy and two sons, David 11, and Patrick 9. We have lived at 45 Princess Street in Orono for the past 12 years. I am employed by Bell Canada as a sales representative. Ihave been employed by Bell Canada for the last 29 years. I work in the Durham Region, consulting with the larger customers regarding a multitude of customer needs in the- communications area. I am currently the president of the Motor City Kinsmen Club of Oshawa; and I have been a member of the Kinsmen Club for the last 18 years. My involvement with the Kinsmen Association has helped to develop an appreciation of political processes and procedures, as well as afforded me the opportunity to give samething back to the Durham Region in the area of community service. I have been involved with the Canadian Telephone Employees Association since 1972, both as a member ,and in various leaders'r.ip capacities. From 1979 to 198b, I was elected as chairperson and bargaining agent for the entire Ontario sales force of Bell Canada. The bargaining entailed collective agreement negotiations, grievance handling on behalf of the membership, and consui:.ative meetings with Bell Canada. The Canadian Telephone Employees Association :s a federally certified trade union in Canada. My involvement with this organization has given me a great appreciation of the representative system as I bad to be elected each year, both by my riding ,which included Oshawa, Barrie, and Peterborough, and also by my peers, the elected representatives from 14 other ridings in Ontario, as their chairperson. - I am presently finishing a two year commitment as chairperson of the St. Francis of Assisi Pastoral Council in the village of Newcastle. The pastoral council monitors the running of the parish, finances, property and maintenance, liturgical life, community life, education, social justice, and social life. I also served on a special committee to develop a new constitution to govern the responsibilities of the Pastoral council. This involvement over the last two years has forced me to analyze issues from different perspectives and realize that good decisions can only result from that process. I have been involved with the Orono Athletic Association in coaching the minor baseball for the last seven years. t I feel that community involvement at various I~vels is necessary if we are ~o continue to enjoy our envied standard of living. If we are not willing to offer some#hing back to our community, then we wilt find that things we take for granted will disappear from our municipality and region. I would like to submit my name as a candidate for councilor in ward 2. I can offer the Municipality of Clarington the benefit of my varied ezperience in the business world, as well as in the area of community service. I look forward to hearing from .you.

Clerk Commissioner etc. July 5, 1995 To The Mayor and Members of Council: I, Kirk Kemp am submitting my name to the Municipality of Clarington Council for consideration in the vacant Ward Two Regional Council seat. When the Ward Two seat became vacant, my family and I discussed the possibility of me applying for the position: I've concluded that I have the time, the ability and the desire to be an effective voice for the people of Ward Two, at both the local and regional levels. My parents moved to Bowmanville thirty-nine years ago to join my great uncle Charlie Carruthers on his farm, as he and his wife were well into their senior years. Both my parents became actively involved in the community, through their work at the church, the Lions and Lioness Clubs, the Children's ,Aid Society, .Cancer. Society, Heart-and Stroke Foundation, Bowmanville Minor Hockey and numerous other volunteer organizations in town. My mother also taught at Central Public School in Bowmanville for over twenty years. Growing up in a home environment as I have, one learns at a young age to get involved in helping others. I spent many hours playing hockey for the Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association and the Bowmanville Junior"C" Eagles. I was fortunate to have some great coaches and a lot of good teammates, that enabled us to win five Ontario Championships, including the first ever Junior "C" championship for Bowmanville. Playing team sports teaches young people slot about working together, to achieve a common goal, not unlike what a town councillor needs to do. I also participated in swimming lessons at the old Cream of Barley pool at the zoo and played soccer in the Darlington soccer league for ten years. I attended Bowmanville High School from 1972 to 1977, where I met my wife Sheila, who grew up on Parkway Crescent in Bowmanville. After graduating from High School I joined my father on the family apple farm and in 1980 I bought my own farm and got married to Sheila, right here at St. John's Anglican Church in Bowmanville. Our roots in farming go back three generations in Bowmanville. In fact my Uncle Charlie grew apples back in the 1930's where Frederick, Edsall, and Rehder Ave. are today. I believe an understanding of agriculture would certainly be an asset to council especially when dealing with land use issues. Agriculture is one of the largest industries in our community and it is important to have an effective voice for this industry's concerns. I have always been interested in the political process but didn't actively get involved until the late 1980's. I joined the riding association of the Conservative Party when A-llan`Lawrence was our Federal Member and got hooked. In 1990 I ran for the Conservative Party in the Provincial Election and got beat by Gord Mills by 55 votes. I consider that a great honour to come that close to Gord as he was a very effective member for our community over the past five Nears. I gave serious consideration to running in the last provincial election but Sheila and I have an eight year old boy, a four year old girl and a sixteen month old baby. I decided that the time commitment for an M.P.P. was more than I was prepared to give with a young family growing up. By the time I had made that decision, the municipal election was over so I thought I would have to wait another three years to run for council. Things are always changing in the political arena and there is now an opportLinitz- to dedicate my time and efforts to help represent the desires and aspirations of the people of Ward two. A councillor is like a member of z board of directors of a corporation, with the citizens of the municipality-being the shareholders. Council must not only maka decisions based on good business practices, but also must have the compassion and understanding to reach out to those among us who have special needs. A council member must have the ability to work with paid employees, numerous volunteer committees and its taxpayers, (shareholders). Although I haven't been elected at the municipal level before, I do have significant experience in many smaller elected positions. I was a member.of the board of stewards at St. Paul's Church for five years, I've been a director at the Durham Grower's Co-operative Storage in Newcastle for six years. I have been a provincial director for the Ontario Apple Marketing Commission for many years and I have been a director of the Bowmanville Lions Club for six years, just completing my term as President this past month. My eighteen years of experience running our farming operations, as well as, helping my wife operate our Travel Business for the past thirteen years will help me bring a practical business approach to the many issues facing our community in the years ahead. With so many young families now living in Ward Two it is important to have someone at council who can relate to their concerns. As our family is young I feel I could meet this need. My family has had almost forty years of history in this town which helps me to understand the aspirations of the people that have lived here for many years. Our town is going through. a major transformation and it is important that we strive to keep this municipality a community of communities, not just the east end of the Greater Toronto Area. We all realize that our town can't stand still, it either moves ahead or falls behind, but it is important that we control the growth so we can maintain the type of community that drew us here in .the first place. A place where businesses can prosper, and -our citizens can live healthy, safe and fulfilling lives. I believe I have both the desire and the ability to be an effective member of this council. A member who is willing to vigorously defend his position, but also a member who is willing to work with the rest of the council to meet the needs of the community. Ward Two also needs an effective participant in all regional issues, not only representing the issues directly affecting Ward Two, but enthusiastically supporting issues that effect the whole municipality of Clarington. I hope the above descriptions gives you Kirk Kemp. I look forward to meeting future to answer any questions you, might Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, ,~ Kirk Kemp a clearer understanding of with council in the near h~~-e.

I believe that as a lifelong resident of Clarn~o,~ ant having seen many changes over the years that I have the right combination of traditional values and innovative ideas that would benefit the Council_ My decision to enter Municipal politics has been a few years in the making.

LIC 2A4 Please accept this letter and the enclosed resume as my application for the position of Councillor. My family and I have lived in Bowmanville for 17 years and we re=ard it as our hometown, even though none of us were loom and raised here. Currently, I work as a Supervisor and Advanced Life Support Paramedic with the Ministry of Health in the Oshawa Ambulance Service. I have twecty years experience as an Ambulance Attendant, sixteen of which I have spent as a Paramedic. Prior to Lhis I served with the Cariadian.Military. In addition to my regular duties as a Supervisor gad Paramedic, I held the part-time position as Assistant Coordinator of the Base Hospital Program at Oshawa General- Hospital for almost five years. The combined responsibilities of these positions have allowed me the chance to submit written and verbal reports to superiors and groups of individuals. It is often necessary for me to investigate and report on staff and citizen complaints. I have found that my additional training gained through the Ontario Police College as a graduate of the Ambulance Service Investigation Course helped me greatly in dealing with these matters. With my recent success in getting the new school named after Dr. Ross Tilley, I found that I very much liked working at doing something positive for Bowmanville. In a capacity as a Councillor, I feel that I can, and would like, to do more for the Ward as well as the town_ Although I am pleased with the way things are being directed by the current council, I like to think that a new perspective would provide more opportunities to broaden both the scope and the horizons of the council chambers. Decision making is an integral part of my profession and I have been malting decisions which affect people in positive ways for 21 years, frequently in life and death sittiatio~. I realize full well that some decisions are harder than others but that they still require thought and careful consideration. I am of the opinion that there are three types of people in the world. Those who make things happen. Those who watch things happen. Those who wonder what happened. I much prefer to belong to the first group. (2) I look forwazd to the challenges presented by the position offered, and I am confident that my experience, maturity, knowledge and ability will prove to be an asset to the Municipality. 'Thank you for your consideration of this application. I hope that I will have the opportunity to discuss this position with you in the near future. sincerely, D.

Sig ure o lerk Commissioner etc. ~ ~~ ~. s Clarington Town Council Town Hall Bowmanville, Ontario July 4, 1995 Dear Council: Please consider this to be my application for the vacant spot as Regional Councillor for Ward 2 in the Town of Clarington. I believe that I need no ir_troduction to the Council. I have met with most of you at one time or another. I have also featured many of you and your policies in my newspaper. What I offer to the job is this; as the owner and editor of the Orono Weekly Times I have developed quite a good relationship with the community. I am forced to be on top of many different situations that happen around town, so in me you have a candidate who is already up on many of the issues regarding our town. True, my experience is limited. I have only recently graduated from York University with an Honours degree in History. My time in the business community is very short, as well as is my direct involvement in the affairs of our community. However, I bring a certain amount of drive and exuberance ~vith me in this application. I would be as dedicated to my community and constituents as I am to my newspaper and readers. I have been accused at times in Council of stirring up issues. This comes from my deep concern for the truth and is an example of my dedication to our communlry. The time that would be needed to act as a Regional Councillor would not interfere with my position at the paper. I have already cleared a spot in my TROY YOUNG SONBON PUBLISHING/ORONO ~~EEKLY TIMES • 5310 MAIN ST ORONO, ONTARIO •905-983-5301 schedule to be present at Town Council meetings as is obvious. The additional salary that I would receive as a Regional Councillor would enable me to hire someone to cover my responsibilities at the paper on days that I was needed at the Region. I offer the Council a direct and unique link to the people of Clarington through my newspaper. I have remained as impartial as humanly possible to the deeds of the Council and reported the facts as thew came fonz~ard. I would continue to remain impartial as a Councillor. I put forth my application at the request of a councillor, who for obvious reasons wants to remain anonymous. I would also like to add that although I disagree with the process you have chosen to decide who the next councillor will be, I am sure that you will chose the best person for the job. In closing I would like to thank you for considering my application for the vacant seat. I fully understand the ramifications of my application, and that it could lead to certain conflicts. However, I feel that I could do a good job as a regional councillor and feel that I would b.e an invaluable asset to the Council and the Town of Clarington.
