Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, Deeernber 21), 1989 , Page 3 Thomson elected as Bruce Count-_ warden by Ron Wass David Thomson, reeve of Brant Township, has been elected as `head of Bruce County. Thomson won the election, 18 - 13, over Barry Johnston, reeve of Kinloss Township. The new warden was elected in an open vote at the annual warden's banquet held in Walkerton, December 11. The voting system saw the end of a tradition as the next warden will be chosen by secret ballot. Thomson, who is serving his third terra as reeve, has been involved in municipal politics since 1968. Be operates a mixed, cow -calf farm operation north of Walker- ton with his sons. He is the eighth Brant reeve to hold the wardenship. In his •address, Thomson said the coun- ty would be faced with three major issues in the coming year, including a seniors' study, pay equity and county restructuring. His goal, he said, is to see provisions made for "pre -zoned land" for commercial and industrial development. Industries from the Metro area are looking to Bruce County to relocate and expand, he said. Afterwards, he said there is a need in the county for prezon- ed land in order to accommodate newcomers as quickly as possible. Other- wise, they could be faced with waits of two years or more, waiting for the rezon- ed process. David Thomson In terms of the Saugeen Economic Development Committee (SEDC) , a 10 -member committee of which Brant is a member, Thomson said there's less than 30 acres of properly zoned and ser- viced industrial land. If forecasts are cor- rect, he said the present supply of in- dustrial land would last less than a year. Ia "If webave no in,�dpu: ral and commer- cial growth,, we will become .dormant," be said, `adding truce qty has to look to the future of its young people. In- dustrial growth, be said, means jobs for young people and that means they won't have to leave the area in search of work. County restructuring is under study in Bruce County, he said, though he would not speculate as to the outcome of the study. Thomson did say when the study is finished, he hopes fair decisions will be made for the county "that suits everyone." As well, there's a study underway on the county seniors and their needs. That includes looking at the homes for the ag- ed and what changes or expansion has to take place to meet the demands of an ag- ing population. That study also includes needs such as hospital care, he said. Thomson ended his address saying he promotes a "pay as you go" strategy so the future is not mortgaged for genera- tions to come. Following the election, Johnston con- gratulated the new warden, saying the campaign for the wardenship was a clean one. The election ended with two reeves elected to three-year terms to the coun- ty highways committee. Elected by ac- clamation were John White and Harry Thede. • 3 PAPEF 20 Lb. ,bond paperavallablePin 6+./2 x 11", x 14" & 11.x 17". 1000 sheets ,per pack. PRICE PER 1000 SHEETS .
