East Wawanosh council NEILG. VINCENT REEVE-TOWNSHIP OF EAST WAWANOSH I am 33 years of age and have been a life-long residentof East Wawanosh. I am a graduate of Centralia College in Agricultural Business Management. After col- lege, Iwas employed by U.C.O. for 6 months, in management training before purchasing S1/2 lot 31 concession 11 East Wawanosh. In 1977, I purchased part of lot 37 concession 13 consisting of 197 acres. On this land base, my wife Joan and I operate a 50-cow dairy farming operation. I served as a municipal councill- or from 1974 until December 1982 when Iwas elected reeve. I have served on various committees in the community including the Wingham and Area Fire Board, the Wingham and Area Recreation Board and the Belgrave Arena Board. 'believe that the last 11 years experienceon township council have given me the insight and awareness of the structure and workings of municipal councils. The council of the township has developed an efficient, cost con- scious road building and mainten- ance program. This type of pro- gram mustbe maintained to supply the level of service that we have grown accustomed to. At county council level, I served on the social services committee for 2 years being chairman in 1984. The welfare expenses decreased during this time. My fellow county council members selected me as the new representative for the Huron County Planning and Devel- opment Committee during 1985. This has give me further insight into zoning administration of which the township will be process- ing early in 1986. As a fellow ratepayer, it is my aim to get the best value possible for our municipal tax dollar. The working relationship that I have with the different Ministries, Departments and County Council allows me the knowledge of the availability of different types of subsidies and grants and the effective ways to obtain them. For these reasons, I respectfully solicit your support for the betterment of the township of East Wawanosh. DONALD SCHULTZ COUNCILLOR I am 49 years of age and am a beef, cash crop and custom farmer on the third concession of East Wawanosh. I have served as councillor for five years and have never missed a council meeting and I have attend- ed all my committee meetings on the Blyth and District Fire Board and Auburn Hall Board. I would like to see the roads improved in places to cut down on winter maintenance for snow plowing, etc. This takes fuel and when spring comes the money's all gone and there's nothing to show for it. I'd also like to see increased developement without interfering with agriculture. FRED MEIER, SR. Fred Meier, Sr., has been a resident of East Wawanosh Town- ship for 20 years, operating a 375 acre dairy and cashcrop farm along with his wife Hanny, son Fred Jr. and daughter-in-law Linda. He was born, raised and educat- ed in Switzerland graduating from college in dairy science. After working five years as a cheese- maker in Switzerland, Fred emi- grated to Canada in 1952. During the time Fred spent in Canada until he bought his, farm in East Wawanosh, he worked at the Blyth Farmers Co-operative as a cheese- maker, for one year, and also managed a farm in the London area for six years. Previous to Fred's involvement in township council, he was a councillor of U.C.O. Branch Bel- grave for 12 years, a director of Gay Lea Foods Co-operative for seven years, the last three as second vice-president of the board of directors. Fred is also an active member of the Blyth United Church as a choir member and in the past on the board of stewards. Fred feels that the most impor- tant issues at stake are listening to the people and presenting their ideas in council; fair government and budget responsibility. Hullett council DOUG BELL CANDIDATE FOR HULLETT TOWNSHIP COUNCIL In order tobe.progressive any municipality cannot rest at status quo. As I see a need for controlled growth I have decided to enter the race for council. Also I noted the apparent apathy since after the initial nomination date there was one position on council left vacant. My initial intention is to offer the voters of Hullett a viable alter- native and if elected I will attempt to guide the township along with the rest of council to a state of "Retentive Progression" in other words keeping all the good of what has made Hullett the strong rural community it is today while encouraging innovations to help keep our-young people interested in remaining or returning to the community. There are no main divisions or issues in Hullett at present other than the continued need for fiscal monitering. On the face of it, having been a life-long resident of Hullett Town- ship, born on the 13th concession, presently employed in the town- ship (for over 19 years) .and working in an agriculture related field, there is no doubt as to my understanding of the rich heritage of Hullett which should comp- ensate for my lack of previous political experience.
