FROM BLYTH
Scott welcomes
reeve to 'close-
knit group'
By Bonnie Gropp
The Citizen
Deputy-reeve Murray Scott
extended congratulations on behalf
of council to new North Huron reeve
Neil Vincent at the inaugural
meeting of council Dec. 4.
- "We are a close-knit group and
we've not had a new leader in our
time together. But we look forward
to the next four years with you," said
Scott, shaking Vincent's hand.
Scott also joked about the new
term to be served by • municipal
politicians. "The four-year term
seems to strike home this time. We
may really be wondering what we've
done."
Vincent responded by thanking
some of the councillors for their
input and support. "They have given
me some background and I
appreciate that."
In his inaugural address Vincent
said he was pleased to have five
experienced councillors working
with him and was looking forward to
working with them for the
betterment of North Huron residents.
The first order of business was the
election of the second county
council representative, who would
serve as deputy-reeve for North
Huron. Councillor Archie
MacGowan nominated Scott for the
position once again.
In response, Scott said, "By and
large I have given this considerable
thought, looking at the four years
again and my to do list at home, if
anyone else wishes the position I
won't be offended. If it is the wish of
this council that I take this position I
will accept... and hopefully last four
years."
Sympathy is extended to Lynn and
Bill Logue and family on the death
of Lynn's mother Margaret
Donaldson.
