Here is a photo of the "SNOWBIRDS" performing over S'side harbor recently for the many fans who showed up to enjoy their show.
I have visited 95% of the residents in ward 5 with just the very north of Central street, the few houses on the south side of route 2, plus 1 apartment building. The visits went even better that I had hoped & met a lot of nice people who really care about their city. This bodes well for the future of our city just as long as they take an interest in municipal politics, check each candidate who offers for council, & support the ones who best represents what you consider important to make S'side a great place to live & raise your families.
One of the things coming through loud & clear is after years of silence the residents of ward 5 want to elect a strong loud voice to be their councilor. They want a councilor who will be accessible, listen to their concerns, & present their wishes to council in a clear, strong, & forceful voice if necessary but be willing to compromise & work with other councilors to get the job done. They want their councilor to get back to them with answers on their problems, what the solution will be, & if nothing will be done why it will not be.
I have already committed to have a meeting with residents before March 31, 2007 to hear your concerns, listen to your wants & needs, & bring you news from council as to what will be happening that will effect you & your city. At this meeting we will set the date for the next meeting as I will be having these meetings on a regular schedule as offen as you decide we should have them.
For people with computers I will set up a website which I will update regularly with information from city council plus other items you might find useful like events being held in the city, rec schedules & any info you think you would like to read. There will also be a place to contact me by E-MAIL & a place to leave comments you would like the readers to be aware of such as birthdays, anniversary, etc. That is all for now.
Till next time, take care.
Lew.

You seem to be doing alot of traveling and talking to the citizens...Good for you..we need some positive changes throught the city...is the new construction at the Summerside Waterfront Mall something you support? What are your feelings on the Griffin affair....should it not be over? If you are elected and the case is ongoing...you will have to have an opinion.
I support the project at the waterfront mall as it will be a big increase in our tax base, and if I am on council this increase will be used for the betterment of all S'side residents & not to build more expensive monuments we can't afford.
The only problem I have with it is the parking dispute they have with the Fox & Jubilee, if they are the good corperate citizans they claim to be this will be solved to everyones satifaction soon.
The Griffin Affair should have been settled years ago, I think an appeal is simply wasting good money. If the city has some extra money to waste on lawyers they should join Ch'town taking the Government of PEI to court to get the 3'rd MLA S'side is entitled to due to the supreme court decision of a few years ago.
Thank for the questions, we should have a coffee sometime, just E-MAIL me, I am available anytime as I will be as the councillor for ward 5.

Lew, There are many new faces running this time. Every councillor has an opponent I think. From the coffee shop talk I am hearing that in Ward 3 Don Reid will win that seat, in ward 1 Ralph MacLean will win that seat. I am also hearing that young college professor in Ward 8 will beat Simmons and Cormier. I think it looks good for you as people seem to want new people in.
