greater the need for closer public

person that pays the piper should
call the tune."
Mr. Gaunt questions the need for
and the practicality of JK at this
time in this area and says the board
must avoid confrontational tactics
if at all possible. "But it must never
be afraid of confrontation if it is
unavoidable," he adds.

Mr. Gaunt hopes to gel the great
est value possible for the money
spent if elected and will work for
more public input. He believes in
retaining the basics, such as the
three "r’s".
"I believe the elected person is a
staff person hired by the electorate
to do as he or she is told, while
exercising common sense. The
elected person is definitely not
hired to do as he or she may like
without constant consultation with
the electorate."
know that the board is practising
restraint in these limes and not
wasting their money in any way."
JK is, she says, a close second.
"There are a lot of concerns with
the idea itself and with the addi
tional tax burden it would bring."
If elected Ms Fullon said she will
work for quality education for all
students, practise financial respon
sibility and try to find the best bal
ance between the two needs. "I plan
to make it my business to be prop
erly informed before making deci
sions and to be available to discuss
the individual concerns of parents
and ratepayers," she said.

"The issue that disturbs me is the
higher costs and higher taxes at a
time when farm commodity prices
and profits are falling. People who
are working also face rising unem

CANDIDATES FOR
COUNCIL
JOHN A. CURRIE
John A. Currie served on the
school board for three years, was
on township council for six years,
was a past president of the local
and county Junior farmers and the
township Federation of Agriculture
and of two cattle breeder associa
tions. He is a member of the North
Huron Community Economic
Development Steering Committee
and an elder in his church.
He decided to run for council
because he is interested in his
township and people approached
him to seek the vacancy because
there was no one to represent the
north half of the township. The
125th anniversary of the township
is in 1992 and Robert Currie was

"I feel certain I can do a beneficial
job for everyone.
The importance of education is
why Ms McNee decided to run.
"My education was important to me
and I wish all children that privi
lege. As a trustee I can accomplish
this. As a homemaker I feel I have
the time needed for this important
job."
Ms McNee sees many important
issues facing candidates in this
election, but says the most impor
tant is the financial spending of the
board. "It must be kept to a mini
mum during these hard economic
times."
That is one of her goals if elect
ed. In addition she will try to con
trol student teacher ratio in class
sizes and try and improve the lines
of communication between the
board, ratepayers and teaching
staff.

BETH FULTON
Candidate for trustee
Ashfield, East and West
Wawanosh Townships
Beth Fulton says that her
expreience on boards of community
agencies has taught her much about
resolving differences, working with
groups, communication skills and
being open to others' concerns. "I
have come to believe that coopera
tion not confrontation is the most
effective means of achieving one's
goals. In the last few years, besides
having spent time at my children's
school as a parent volunteer, I have
done a lot of work on the issues of
childcare, parent support and parent
education. The perspective this has
given me on student needs and the
connections I have built with vari
ous community agencies would
both enrich what I would bring to
the board," said Ms Fulton.
A keen interest in the education
system is why Ms. Fulton decided
to run for trustee, especially since
her sons have entered school. She
feels she has the time and energy to
give the job the commitment it
deserves. "I think my experience
and abilities would make me an
asset to the board," she said.
Taxation is an important issue to
her in the election. "People want to
