The new president of the Association will be Jan Johnstone. Past president and town councillor for the town of Goderich, Lynda Rotteau, will serve as Huron vice-president for the coming year, while former candidate for Bruce and CAW member Len Hope will serve as the vice-president for Bruce. Since the Riding Association operates as both a provincial and a federal association, the provincial treasurer is George Richer, and federal treasurer will be Fran McQuail. Willi Laurie, former Huron Women Teachers' Association president and elementary school principal, will be recording secretary, while the membership secretary is Tony McQuail, past side to the former Minister of Agriculture, former Bradley questions switch Continued from page 16 from trying to impose slot machines on the people of Clinton. "Mike Harris has gone from being a politician who wanted nothing to do with gambling revenues to a Premier whose appetite for gambling expansion knows no limits,"Bradley said. Huron County Board of Education trustee and contact with many organizations in the agricultural community. Members at large include Ross Hemingway, former candidate for Bruce Bob Emmerson, former MPP Paul Klopp, and Gerry McDonnell, a secondary teacher and past vice- president of the Huron branch of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. This group represents a wealth of background in the political, agricultural, municipal, union and educational areas, and will certainly bring much expertise to the upcoming election campaign. Other topics on the agenda of the meeting included election strategizing and information on the new election regulations. A shortened election campaign and the change to the amount of campaign dollars spent will result in a more American style election campaign where huge amounts of dollars will be spent by corporate sponsored parties. The Conservative war chest is already being spent on government commercials and on the latest anti- McGinty campaign. This is a very Americanized political campaign with millions of dollars being spent attacking the opposition party - much like the Republican anti- Democrat campaign in the last American election. Ian Bawden, an organizer from Windsor was at the meeting to address the group on these concerns. In order to equalize the inequities caused by the deregulation of campaign dollars spent, the CAW and other unions have committed monies to release CAW members to target critical ridings and to act as riding organizers. Priority setting for Huron-Bruce included a need to focus on the agricultural community, continued focus on education standards and funding issues as well as on Bill 160, and a continued emphasis on health and services. The party will also emphasize the fact that the government is cutting back on services and supports that the elderly (in an aging population) will increasingly depend upon. Another priority is to reach out to the small business community. Announcements were made regarding possible candidates' decisions to run. Klopp and Johnstone, after long consideration, both declined and McQuail stated his decision to run for the nomination. The meeting ended with an address by McQuail. The official nomination meeting for the new Huron Bruce Provincial Riding will be held on Feb. 5 at the McKay Centre for Seniors on North and Nelson Streets in Goderich. For those interested in supporting the Tony McQuail campaign, a planning meeting will take place on Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Mary Gregg, 34 Wellington St., in Goderich. All are welcome to attend.
