Gary:
A hearty congratulations to you on your great success.
Having run for regional council in Clarington/Durham Region (Southern
Ontario) against a three-term incumbent in 2006, I have some
appreciation for the courage, commitment and hard work that it takes to
run for public office. In addition to land use issues I was also
trying to raise awareness around our regional waste challenges at a
time when very few understood or cared that our Region was
contemplating an incinerator. Though I came in 2nd -the incumbent won,
it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had.
My very best wishes,
Linda Gasser
Orono (Clarington) Ontario

I would like to share some great personal news with you.
Thinking globally and acting locally, I have been active in my
community
for many years working to preserve open space and oppose rampant
development that has threatened our beautiful rural community.
Three of the 5 members on our Council supported development and did not
fight to preserve the town most of us love. So I decided to run for
Council, to shift the balance back to a majority working to preserve
our
rural lifestyle. See my campaign website for more details on the
issues we addressed at:

Despite long odds and facing two incumbents, I won election as a
Town
Council member. I even obtained the most votes, so according to our
Town's policies, I will be Mayor in 2010!
A special thanks to my Zero Waste and recycling friends who helped
support me in this effort!
