Four township residents, two incumbents and two newcomers, are fighting it out for the available positions. Incumbents Fran Lannin and Barb MacLean are seeking re-election, while newcomers Lou Maloney and Cinth Vogels are out for their spots. Reeve Walter McKenzie and Deputy -Reeve Robert I. Norris were acclaimed, as were the three trustees in the Police Village of Dublin --incumbents Don MacRae and Jerry Murray and rookie Larry Parsons. Lannin, of RR 2 Dublin, is seek- ing her third three-year term on council, having sat for her six-year political life on the Mitchell & District Planning Advisory Commit- tee, this past year as chairperson. She also represents Hibbert on the Mitchell Mobility Bus board, and has spent three years with COPS. The school bus driver and farmer, Lannin and her husband Blythe have three children: Gary, Wendy and Lee Ann. Lannin said that because Hibbert is an agricultural community, she hopes to continue to preserve that identity, as well as encourage busi- ness into the hamlet areas to increase the overall tax base. MacLean, of RR 2 Staffa, also farms with her husband Andy. The mother of three children, daughter Terry Lynn Walkom and sons Rob and Scott, they also have three grandchildren. She is completing her first three-year term on council. Extremely active in the women's institute at both the local and dis- trict executive levels, MacLean has also canvassed for many years for various charities, making her visible in the township. During her term, she has served on the Mitchell & District Arena board, and worked on both the Fare' Safety Association and South Hibbert Athletic Association. MacLean notes that she has always been interested in politics, and now that she has the time "I believe I have valuable insight to offer. "We need to keep our local input and not be governed by Toronto," she said. She added that since her entire Pauline Siemon Public school trustee acclaimed Pauline Sicmon is interested in education because she has four children in the Huron County system. That is why she became involved and was recently acclaimed as a Public School Trustee for Scaforth and McKillop. Mrs. Sicmon, 42, is married to Keith and lives at RR 4 Walton with children: Jennifer, Amy, Erin and Christopher. She describes herself as self- employed for a farm equipment dealership. Mrs. Siemon has been on the executive of .the Scaforth and District RingcUc Association for the past seven years, has been the leader of a tern's group at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Brodhagen for -. (aught Sunday 'school for sit years prior to that. immediate family lives in the town- ship, she'd like to continue to be a part of the future planning and development of it. Maloney, of 139 Ontario St., Dublin, is vying for his first term on Hibbert council. He did, how- ever, serve six years with the Huron -Perth Separate School Board as a trustee as well as 10 years as a trustee for the Police Village of Dublin. Part-owner of M & M Quality Vealer Ltd., a veal calf operation, Maloney is the former owner of the Dublin Feed Mill Ltd. He and his wife Therese have two married daughters, and is active in both St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Dublin as well as the Seaforth Council of the Knights of Columbus. He, too, has always taken an active interest in all elections, and now has more time to participate as a candidate. I do not have any election prom- ises, but will do my best to serve the residents of Hibbert," he said. A brand new candidate, Vogels, of -RR 2 Dublin, is confident his experience as a hog and cash crop farmer will benefit the township as a cot ncillor. Vogels, 46, has served on the executive of the Pork Producers for the past decade, and served on the executive of the St. Columban Parish Council for six years. If elected, he hopes to pressure government in keeping the farm tax rebate program at current levels, to be a strong voice for agriculture, to supply the best service for the money available in the township's road, drainage, buildings and machinery programs and cut down on social services abuse. He and his wife Maria have four children: Christopher, 22; Mark, 20; Leanne, 17 and Julie, 15. THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
