"I have a keen interest in the way North Huron grows and develops. I've enjoyed the work as reeve and would like another term to finish what we've started." Layton, who previously served two terms on Wingham council prior to amalgamation, said an important issue is to keep a lid on spending and keep up with infrastucture. "Once you fall behind you will stay behind and we will all suffer for that. I want to keep working for the betterment of all the wards of North Huron." His personal goal is to work closely with the township's neighbours to create one strong community. "I think if we all work together we will benefit. I think we have to realize that what's good for one municipality will be good for everyone." NEIL VINCENT A former president of the Huron Federation, Neil Vincent is seeking the position of North Huron reeve. Prior to amalgamation he served four terms as councillor for East Wawanosh and one as reeve. Vincent has three decades of involvement with provincial and federal riding associations. The last 13 years he has been on the board of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. He feels. he can use his experience and the knowledge he has gained on a number of boards and committees to the betterment of the municipality and its ratepayers. "I think we may be able to get a lot more value out of our tax dollars." Fiscal responsibility is the most important issue to Vincent. Another key issue where Vncent sees leadership is of the utmost importance is the province's Clean Water Act.

Two persons from Town and Country Support Services joined the group to tell about the many possible service this organization offers to seniors. Kara Lee Potter, who grew up in Londesborugh and knew many of the seniors there that day, primarily deals with the meals on wheels program, a home-based meals program. However she told the seniors that Town and Country services can also provide help with many household chores, home maintenance and repair, weekly cleaning, yard work, etc. Marie Johnson had driven to the meeting in the newest of the four vans Town and Country now has. that provide transportation to folks. She demonstrated how the van worked to load wheelchairs and its many safety features. The vans are available for folks needing transport to appointments of one kind or another, shopping, banking and even to church. Further information about these services are available by calling the organization's office located at the Betty Cardno Centre in Clinton.

Instead UNICEF has developed a program called Build a School. The idea is for pupils to raise monies which can be used for building a school or purchasing furnishings. Consequently during the last week of October, pupils went raiding parents' pockets, etc. for pennies. Large pop bottles were placed in each room as a collection site. Also acclaimed to council for the East Wawanosh ward are incumbents James Campbell and Murray Scott. Murray Nesbitt has been returned by acclamation as the Blyth councillor. One position remains for that ward. Councillors Archie MacGowan and Arnold Taylor were acclaimed for the Wingham ward. Acclaimed to the Avon Maitland District School Board is Colleen Schenk and to the Huron Perth Catholic District School Board is Jim McDade. biding for blues Hullett Central Public School Grade 3 student Shannon Dale doesn't know what she's searching for down Willem Moolenbeek's tenor saxophone until she hears the tone go far deeper when her hand goes in.
