Lionel Wilder named
new Huron Warden
For the second year in a row
Marie Hicknell, Reeve of McKillop
has been edged out in voting for
the position of Warden of Huron
County.
Huron County Councillors voted
Dec. 12 to elect Lionel Wilder
Reeve of Hay township as the
Warden for the coming year. The
vote was 18-14 in favour of Mr.
Wilder.
Reeve Wilder becomes the 123rd
warden in the county’s 148 year
history. A farmer, Reeve Wilder
first became involved in municipal
politics in 1966 and for the last
seven years has been the town
ship’s reeve. He has served on
county council for nine years,
including three on the county’s
executive committee.
Also nominated for the position
was James Robinson, Reeve of
Hensail. He declined to run but
indicated he would seek the posi
tion next year.
The new warden promised “to
do my very best to uphold the
responsibility and respectability
the office holds.’’
Outgoing Warden Dave John
ston thanked his fellow councillors
for “offering me the opportunity,
with your help and support, of
making some changes in county
government."
Blyth Council delays
snow removal decision
Blyth village councillors decided
Wednsday night to delay a decision
on whether to change a policy and
remove snow from in front of a
main street business.
Lewis and Valerie Pitman ap
proached council in what Mr.
Pitman termed “our annual pilgri
mage" to see if council would
agree to remove snow from in front
of The Pottery at the corner of
Westermoreland and Queen Sts.
Similar requests in the past had
been turned down but he said he
hoped the new council would see
the validity of his argument.
Mr. Pitman said that the Pitman
business is assessed as a core area
business which means they pay a
higher assessment but said that
The Pottery is the only core area
business not to have snow removal
from the street in front of it. “It’s a
real detriment to our business," he
said of the pile of snow pushed up
by plows at the corner. He said he
had cleaned the snow out by hand
at times but the village and
Ministry of Transport plows always
filled it in again. “I don’t think it
would cost too much or take too
much time," for the village to clean
the corner, he said.
Mrs. Pitman pointed out The
Pottery had paid taxes for 16 years
but hadn’t been treated the same
as main street businesses.
“I just can’t understand why
we’ve been turned down before,”
Mr. Pitman said.
Reeve Albert Wasson said he felt
there had been some attempts to
accommodate the business before
“but not enough for your satisfac
tion obviously".
Council decided to postpone a
decision on the matter until a
special meeting Dec. 19 because
Councillor Ken Brown was absent
for the meeting and Councillor
Dave Lee had declared a conflict of
interest because he is in the snow
removal business and didn’t feel he
should take part in the discussion.
