Blyth council settles claim
By Bonnie Gropp
There were handshakes and con-
gratulations all around when Blyth
councillors met on April 3 and
announced that village employee
Bill Bromley was back on the job.
Reeve Mason Bailey told the
people in attendance at the regular
meeting Monday night that an
agreement had been reached
between the village and Bromley,
regarding a statement of claim. He
said he believed that the matter had
been resolved to everyone's satis-
faction.
Bromley then shook hands with
the members of council and staff
present before the meeting contin-
ued.
Jewitt wants return to values

taxpayers' dollars redistributed
back to the community with strings
attached.
He recommended a return to the
values of our forefathers. "If you
can't afford it, don't buy it."
Success will come through a
team effort, he said. "Together
Everyone Achieves More."
Mclnroy was nominated by
Graeme Craig.
After winning the nomination
Jewitt first acknowledged the sup-
port of his wife of 35 years, Barb,
his children and his mother, who,
he says, gave him the competitive
edge.
He thanked the candidates for a
clean, hard fight and encouraged
the members to work together now
to win the election. "No one per-
son can win, it will take a large
joint effort to achieve the goal and
claim the prize," he said.
r Liberal campaign begins 1
Just hours after winning the
Huron Liberal nomination, candi-
date John Jewitt's campaign,
though yet informal, had begun
in earnest.
The morning following
Wednesday's nomina-
tion meeting, Jewitt was
out among the con-
stituents. "I believe my
strong point is getting to
know people and stop-
ping in to visit and hear
their concerns," Jewitt
said.
What he is discover-
ing already, he said is that a large
portion of the electorate is wor-
ried about the way the family is
losing its place in today's society.
"While I have no magic answer it
is issues like law and order, that
protect some of those values,
which need to be looked at. We
Lnever had to worry about losing
things in our homes. Now, we I
don't even feel safe at home. We I
lock our doors."
The other big complaint he is I
hearing is with regards to the I
debt load. "I don't think people I
are looking for promises
(from government) that I
are going to cost them I
money." Jewitt said.
Within the next few I.
weeks, the candidate
says he will be forming I
his team to help structure I
a campaign. Acknowl- I
edging the contributions
and talents of his candidacy
opponents, Doug Garniss of Mor-
ris Twp., Rick Mclnroy of Wal- I
ton and Sharon Wurm of Hensall, I
Jewitt says he plans to enter into I
discussion with them on strategy
and for advice. "Their input and I
help will be invaluable."
Si
Morris has new reeve
PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1995.
Making it official
New Morris Twp Reeve Bert Elliott took his place at
county council, after being officially sworn in by County
Clerk Administrator Lynn Murray.
Huron's PC candidate
hosts agriculture night
Morris council once again has a
reeve to represent the township at
county council as well as to chair
meetings and decisions at the local
level.
A special meeting of council on
March 29, resulted in the appoint-
ment of Bert Elliott to the post of
reeve, vacated by Clem McLellan
in February.
Council decided the cost of an
election and the longer delay of fill-
ing the position, possibly 90 days,
was not in the best interest of the
public.
Deputy-Reeve Elliott, nominated
by Councillors Kevin Pletch and
Keith Johnston, received the sup-
port of the entire council.
After the administration of the
oath of allegiance and the declara-
tion of office, Reeve Elliott said he
would work to the best of his abili-
ty.
The discussion on the method of
filing the vacated deputy-reeve's
post will begin at the next regular
session of council.
C) Ontario
Farmers will have a chance to
hear an outlook for tomorrow at a
special agriculture meeting to be
held in Brussels on Thursday.
Guest speaker Lindsey Barfoot,
the director of agriculture and food
consulting group with Price-Water-
house, will be talking on the future
of agriculture and how Price-
Waterhouse sees the economy, says
organizer Murray Cardiff. "It
should be an upbeat presentation,"
Cardiff says. "Too often in agricul-
ture we are looking at the down
side. Sometimes we need to look
ahead, which is basically what
Lindsey said he would be talking
about."
The event, which is being held at
the Brussels Legion starting at 8
p.m. is hosted by Helen Johns the
PC candidate for Huron. Though it
is an opportunity to meet Johns,
Cardiff, the former MP for Huron-
Bruce, says it was also a forum that
they felt would be well-attended.
"In our area agriculture is very
much an issue so we are hoping to
have a good turnout."
Following his speech, Barfoot
and Johns will be welcoming the
public to join into a "Town Hall"
question and answer session.
