Everett Ecker Sr., Charles "Tooter" Fritz, Kenneth Grimes, Roy Johnson and Terry Petry (seeking one of three council seats) were asked these four questions:

* What do you view as the town's three most immediate needs?

* How can New Windsor keep its small town atmosphere as it continues to grow?

* Do you believe the county and towns can meet the 1994 mandate for 15 percent recycling? Do you support mandatory or voluntary recycling? Why? How would you meet the costs involved in recycling?

* How would you resolve the dispute between the quarry ownersand the residents?

*EVERETT R. ECKER SR.

Age: 66

BIODATA: Life-long resident of New Windsor Area. Graduate, New Windsor High School. Various courses in business, company and night classes. Married, two children. Principal in New Windsor Hardware, Inc. Member, St. Paul's United Methodist Church. Member, New Windsor Lions Club.

NEEDS: 1. Development and its impact on town. 2. Water and sewerage due to development and new state regulations. Aeration of lagoon, possibly enlargement. New storm water regulations related to springs, etc. 3. Closely tied in importance: Recycling and disposal of limbs, waste, etc. and impact of quarrying on community.

GROWTH: Can you? Requests for more services will necessitate a change in the community. However, proper zoning with regular periodic changes can have, and have had,an impact on how much the area changes.

RECYCLING: At 6 percent now, I doubt it. However, I do support voluntary recycling, maybe curbside rather than mandatory. Why? I don't like the mandatory approach due to the higher costs, more and larger government agencies, and regulations. Those who make the most are going to have to share the higher cost.

QUARRYING: This question concerns me, in that all residents do not have problems with the quarry. Their feelings must be considered likewise. A workable co-existence with the town and quarry should be getting consideration now. The town has made strides in that direction. However, a watchful approach must be maintained.

NEEDS: 1. Control growth of town. 2. To get recycling on right road. 3. Keep the town as a small town or as an old country town with friendly people.

GROWTH: By controlling the growth of town by studying what is good for the town and whatis bad for the town and make laws for this and enforce these laws.

RECYCLING: I believe the town can meet the 1994 15 percent recycling if everybody works together. As a town citizen, I think we should try to do this. I would have to study how to do this, and come up withsome thinking that would work.

QUARRYING: I would try to show theresidents that up to now the quarrys have done very little damage anywhere and that the quarrys are willing to work with the people if they would just listen to what the quarrys are willing to do.

NEEDS: Keep growth under control as it is now. Full time maintainance man to take care of the town. Repair wall around Brownie's Corner on Mainand High Streets and other sites of historic value to keep New Windsor beautiful.

GROWTH: We have three developments on the books now,approve no more new developments.

RECYCLING: Definitely. I believe the county and towns can meet the 1994 mandate for 15 percent recycling. I feel the citizens of New Windsor will recycle on a voluntary basis, therefore I support voluntary recycling. The costs involved inrecycling will be self-supporting.

QUARRYING: I am taking the dispute very seriously and weighing the issues between both parties.

ROYA. JOHNSON

Age: 62

BIODATA: My wife and I have six grown children. I have three degrees, a B.A., a B.D. and a master's degree in theology. I am a clergyman, presently working for my denomination, the Church of the Brethren, in its stewardship program. I moved to Carroll County in 1968 and served as pastor of the Westminster Church of the Brethren for about eight years. I am president of the board of HOPE, Inc., and a member of the New Windsor Lions Club. I plan to make New Windsor my home during retirement and thus am concerned about the town's future.

NEEDS: The town's three most immediate needs are: 1.Good planning, which will encourage limited growth which is in harmony with the town's present character. 2. A cooperative relationship with both the county and those who wish to build new housing. 3. Leadership which both respects the present and sees into the future.

GROWTH: The town can keep its character by seeing that growth will continue on a human scale with small lots, a grid pattern for streets, attractive common areas and limited architectural control. I would liketo see the town continue to be a place where people enjoy walking.

RECYCLING: Yes. I support mandatory recycling because it is an important issue and I have seen it work elsewhere. The costs should be part of the town budget, since recycling will enhance the quality of life in town.

QUARRYING: The quarry's expansion should not be allowed to encroach upon the town and create problems. New Windsor residents and the town council should exert influence on both the county and the quarry management to keep the quarry a reasonable distance from the town.

*TERRY PETRY

Age: 36

BIODATA: Reside with wife Vicki and three sons: Chad, 11; Kyle, 9; and Seth, 3. Member of Church of the Open Door. Citizen of New Windsor for 17 years, having lived in area all my life. Graduated from Francis Scott Key in 1972. Employed by Lehigh Cement Co. for 15 years. Presently an officer with the New Windsor Fire Co., which I have been active in for 18 years. Active in New Windsor Recreation Council, having coached girls and boys baseball and softball for 12 years. Town councilman for two years chairing Parks and Recreation Committee, member of streets committee.

NEEDS: 1. Expansion of sewerage system. 2. Upgrading and expansion of recreational facilities. 3. Finding alternatives to increase revenues.

GROWTH: I feel with the location of the planned developments the town'ssmall-town atmosphere shouldn't be affected all that much. If anything, it will help to enhance business in the area.

RECYCLING: Yes. Voluntary. People are more receptive to doing things on their own, than being forced to. Citizens seem eager to recycle. It needs to be easy. Financing will need to be worked out with the county and state, plus the use of funds that would otherwise go toward tipping fees.

QUARRYING: With the legislation passed in the last session I feel thecompromise has been made by both parties. Consideration also should be given to the fact the company has owned the ground for 35 years, had it properly zoned since zoning went into effect, this being long before development occurred.
