MARK BEAVEN
A Huron East councillor is running for council in.

year term on Huron East, representing the Grey ward.
He is currently chair of the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority.
Beaven said that after moving to Morris last year, he
had been asked by many residents to consider running
in that municipality. "They are familiar with my
performance in the past three years on Huron East and
have seen that I am committeed to a fiscally responsible and accountable
council. It is these values that I hope to bring forward for the residents."
The value of tax dollars is an important issue said Beaven as residents
have seen their taxes rising considerably but are not seeing a corresponding
increase in services. "I witnessed first hand the difference in taxation after
moving from one municipality to another. I am committed to doing my
best to keep taxation under control. I pledge to the residents that I will
ensure that the municipality steers toward the fundamental position of
being fiscally responsible."
Beaven has many personal goals, which he works towards "each and
every day. However, all my personal goals seem to support a single
common purpose. That is to be a loving husband and father who is well
respected by the community as a person of integrity, honesty and is
committed to making a difference."

wick is seek-
ing the position
of councillor to
represent the
Morris ward of
Morris-Turn-
berry.
New to
municipal politics, Warwick said
his reason for running is
communitybetterment.
One important issue, he said is
economic restraint. "The crisis in
rural Ontario has affected
everyone," he said, adding that the
municipality has continued to
spend.
"If we ran out households like
most municipalities we would be
out on the street and broke."
