Reeve Stuart 12eavie said he will let his name stand for the position of reeve. "We've got a few things started that I would like to see finished," he said, when announcing that he would seek another term. Councillors Only two of Lucknow's four ciiuncillors will seek re-election for another term. "I've enjoyed the last three years,". said Lynn Peck. "The first three years are a learning ex- perience. If I get a chance to get in, I'll be able to do more because I understand more now." Peck said she hopes there is an election in Lucknow this time around. "People take more interest in finding nut about the candidates if they have to vote." "I'm declaring myself a can- didate," said Lillian Abbott when she was questioned as to her inten- tions. She too said "It has been a lear- ning experience the last three years. Perhaps I can make more of contribution in the next term." After seven years o'n council, George Gibson's name will not appear on the 1994 ballot. Gibson cited his "workload" at F.E. Madill as being instrumental in his decision. "It's been'a fun time, but it's time for a change," said Gibson, Along with Peck and Abbott, Ken Fischer was a new face to council in 1991. "I will not run again," said Fis- cher. "1 enjoyed it, but it takes more time than I can give it." Gibson and Black run for Ashfield reeve by Pat Livingston As of Monday, Ashfield Township residents will be going to the polls to elect a reeve for the next term. "It's time to move up or out," said Deputy Reeve Paul Black, during a telephone interview, when he said he would seek the position of reeve in Ashfield. Black has been on council for nine years, the last three as deputy reeve. The current reeve, Allan Gibson, now in his 20th year of municipal politics in the township, said he"1 stand for •his fourth term as reeve. "It's been a busy • year; but very interesting," said Gibson, who. is also Huron County Walden. "You see a lot of things happening that you don't realize when you are sitting on county council. It opened my eyes," said Gibson, who es- timates he has attended around 250 meetings this year. Councillors Paul Frayne and Ben Van. Diepenbeek will let their names• stand for re-election; while Gwen Fisher has decided to take a hiatus from municipal politics. Frayne was new to council in '91. He said it takes more than one term to really understand the workings of local government. As a member of the Phase II arena committee, Frayne said, "It's interesting being involved fin new projects." He'd like to he around when the arena gets started next year and see its completion. Van 'Diepenbeek referred to his first three year term as being "well worth the experience, saying "I've enjoyed it and will run again." . "At this point in my life, Fisher said, "I'm not going to run. That's not to say I won't go back again." Fisher is mother to three children between 8 and 13 and believes it is important to keep her children busy and be involved with -them. "If I'm going to be on council, I need more time to devote to it." • • She summed upher three year. term as "rewarding." Kinloss establishes deputy -reeve office by Pat Livingston 'Kinloss Reeve Jim Boyle will seek•another term in that position. "I enjoyed my first term around, and we didn't have too many complaints. I'll try to help -the township the best I can," said Boyle when he was asked his intentions. Councillor John Husk will register . for the position of deputy reeve this • term. Although Kinloss has never had a deputy reeve, the township meets the criteria of having more than 1,000 electors. ' "I've enjoyed my first term," said Husk. "I'll give it another three years. "We've done a reasonably good job, with no increase in taxes, and got.a lot done in three 'years." Brian Wolfe willalso let his name stand for re-election to coun- cil. "This was my first term and it was interesting," said Wolfe. "Ki- nloss has a high rate of involvement by,ratepayers in their politics." • "At of now (Sunday), I'm not going to run again," said Councillor Erlma Jean Haldenby. "I've got too many irons in the fire and need a rest." Haldenby did indicate that she would be interested in returning to a position on council in the future. The other council seat was held by Clifford Fielder, who resigned that position early in September, due to being relocated by }tis employer. A race for reeve in West Wawanosh by Pat Livingston In the, 1991 election, the mun- cipality of West Wawanosh Township had a complete new slate on council. The current reeve Bob Hallam and councillor Walter Elliott have stated their names will be on the ballot for the position of reeve come Nov.' 14. Both were brief in their com- ments. "I'd like to carry on for another term," said Hallam and Elliott wants to "give it a whirl." Ron Snowden, after one term on "7'11 stay out of the race this time, council, said, he will be running but when things settle down, I'd be again. "We got . lots of things interested in getting back into it cleaned up. There are areas we've (municipal • politics)'•', said started in that I'd like to see Chisholm,, threut?h," said Snowden. Richard Foster will not stand for re-election this term. "I enjoyed my one term, but I'm not going to run again," said Foster. Alex Chisholm said his current "Everyone should take a turn as a employment results him in being civic duty. My term gave me a "all over the place.
