New riding pres. tells MP to stick to his guns
By Pat Livingston
Neil McGavin, of Walton, was
acclaimed as president of the
Huron-Bruce Federal Liberal
Association last week, when about
100 members of the riding met in
Lucknow for the annual meeting.
"It's an honor to be your
president," said Mr. McGavin. "I've
never been real involved in politics;
my dad was a few years ago and I
kind of thought it got to be a dirty
word there for a while."
"I've gained a lot of respect for
Paul (Steckle, Huron-Bruce MP),"
said McGavin. "He had all of the
implement dealers together and I
think that's been the first time
we've ever had a member draw us
all together and have us all speak as
to what our problems were."
Owners of two of the candidate
sites in the county's search for a
landfill site will be compensated
for crop damage done during test
drilling.
Huron County council Thursday
approved payments of $1,425 to
Casey and Cathy Hendriks and
$500 to Jim Gibson, owners of two
of the Ashfield Township sites.
West Wawanosh Reeve BoliHal-
lam questioned whether the county
or the contractor who carried out
the drilling should be paying the
costs. Bill Weber, Stephen Town-
ship reeve said there wouldn't have
been so much damage if the con-
tractor had used some common
sense and the county will try to
recover the damages but that the
The human resources department
at Wingham and District Hospital
now has a director.
Larry Hindle, formerly employed
at Freeport Hospital in Kitchener as
an assistant director, assumed his
duties on Jan. 19.
Mr. Hindle will set policies and
procedures for the human resources
department as well as have the
responsibility of payroll, employee
and labour relations, pay and
employment equity and employee
"Then he had a rural caucus and
We got to speak about a beef we've
got with one company that's
throwing a pretty heavy shoulder
against us. Whether it was just
politics...we really thought we
were listened to," he said. "We got
a lot of people from all over
Canada listening and it turned out
they were all having the same
experiences."
"For your guns - stick to your
guns," Mr. McGavin said to Mr.
Steckle. "I don't want to give up
ours - they've been around the
family for a long time. All we use
them for is shooting groundhogs,"
said Mr. McGavin, "but if I was
that old jeweller in Palmerston I
think I'd pull them out too. ...The
only mistake he maybe made - he
didn't hit them. So Paul, stick to
landowners should be paid in the
meantime. "We promised we would
pay for any damage," reminded Bill
Vanstone, reeve of Colbome.
Meanwhile Blyth Reeve Mason
Bailey questioned a decision of the
Planning and Development com-
mittee not to support a resolution
from the Caledon Looking for
Environmental Alternatives Now
(CLEAN) calling on the provincial
government to allow the examina
tion of environmentally responsible
alternatives and halt the process of
"mega dump" site selection. "It
seems to me that the way of the
future may not be landfill sites,"
Reeve Bailey said.
But Jack Coleman, chair of the
Planning and Development com-
mittee said that with the amount of
and management training.
Though presently the position
will require his attention only on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-
days, Mr. Hindle says this could
change depending on the demand.
"I look forward to serving Wing-
ham and District Hospital as the
human resources director as well as
the staff in all human resources
aspects."
Mr. Hindle and his wife, Wendy,
have three grown sons, Jason, Jere-
my and Jonathan.
your guns."
"The corporal punishment - I had
a gentleman in our business and he
told me a friend of his had the
lashes years ago and said he'd do
anything to never have them
again." Mr. McGavin said it taught
the man, who believed he would be
in prison today if he hadn't had the
lashes, a lesson.
"But maybe there's psychiatrists
and other people who can get
things across that's better. My dad
used to have a way, and that was on
the toe of his boot and told me how
to do things," said Mr. McGavin.
A motion from the floor asked
for Steckle's efforts on the firearms
regulation issue to be formally
noted in the minutes. A show of
hands passed the motion with a
money Huron had spent seeking a
county-wide landfill site there was
no way the committee could sup-
port a call for a halt in the search
for "mega dumps".
"Before we bestow one large
landfill site on any municipality we
should be looking at the alterna-
tives," replied Reeve Bailey, "and I
don't think it would cost that
much."
majority, although a "couple" of
hands were raised in opposition.
Of the six elected executive
positions to be filled, only one is
from the northern end of the riding
and that is Jacqueline MacGillivray
of Saugeen Township.
All positions were filled by
acclamation. Dave Johnston of
Bayfield will serve as first vice
president; MacGillivray as second
vice; Ruth Gingerich, of RR 2,
Zurich, as treasurer; Laurene
Maloney of Seaforth, as general
secretary, and Cyril Gingerich of
Zurich as membership secretary.
Mr. Gingerich held that position
last year as well. John Gates, of RR
5, Kincardine is the past president.
Only two of the three adult
director positions were filled. They
are Jack Riddell of Hay Township,
and Mervyn Erb of Brucefield. The
remaining director must be a
female.
Greg McClinchey, of
Londesboro, is the male youth
director. The executive is
empowered to select a female for
the other youth director.
The riding is eligible to send 18
delegates to the Ontario convention
in late February, but at the meeting
only three people indicated any
interest in doing so.
"We have a vital organization
here that needs to be strengthened
with new members, said Paul
Steckle MP, who was the guest
speaker.
"I feel particularly complimented
by the fact that over the past
number of months there has been
tremendous support of many of the
initiatives I have taken. I realize
that as a member of parliament,
from time to time, we have to take
positions that don't necessarily
reflect the wishes of all
constituents. But I believe when I
was elected...I made a commitment
to you people. Firstly that if I was
nominated, I would win the
election."
"I also made a commitment that
if I was elected I would serve you
with honest, integrity and respect of
the constituents who I represent. I
have continued and I am striving to
do that."
Steckle reviewed the various
committees and issues he has been
involved with since being elected.
He reaffirmed his commitment to
Huron-Bruce, saying, "I'm here to
hear the people of this riding..."
