October 20, 1907 Objects to expression of logic Dear Editor: In my opinion Heather Robinet showed a lapse in judgement when she submit- ted a letter commenting on Dave Scott's candidacy for mayor. I hold no animosity towards Heather but I believe she entered the public opinion forum with a huge conflict of interest. I don't believe anyone, however honest, could write a fair letter criticizing Dave while holding a seat on coun- cil beside his opponent in the race. The hats of political critic in the town newspaper and town councillor just should not be worn at the same time. This type of logic, of course, I gained by i reading Heather's own letter. It's not her logic I object to so much, oh no, just her expression of it. In fact let's extend her logic further than just criticizing the editor of the Expositor. Likewise, no one with a full-time career should aspire to be mayor since he or she will bring too many biases and conflicts of interest to the job. An entrepreneur, for exam- ple, would be enslaved to the concerns of commerce and so the council would suffer accusations of being in the hip pocket of business. A farmer or teacher might find it impossible not to use privi- leged council information to her or his advantage. Again, to extend Heather's reasoning, being a business owner or farmer or teacher sn't what you do, it's who you are. Any career at all, actually, should be seen as a 24 -hour -day pursuit that excludes any other meaning- ful contribution to the com- munity, such as public ser- vice. Returning to Dave Scott specifically for a moment, he has many other strikes against him besides an alleged conflict of interest. He is energetic and full of good ideas for the town. No one wants new ideas brought to council, that just compli- cates things for the old guard. Plus his job as editor has brought him into contact with many people in the commu- nity and made him well- acquainted with their con- cerns. Why would the people of Seaforth want an approachable, responsive mayor? Sincerely yours, Paul Ciufo Grand Bend Legion launching annual Poppy Campaign Dear Editor: For many years the people .of Seaforth and arca have been most generous in con- tributing to the annual Poppy Campaign of Branch 156 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Funds raised from the pub- lic are held in trust in a sepa- rate account and do not form any part of branch finances. The amount collected in the 1996 campaign was $5657.86 with expenses of $2,010.08. The Poppy Trust Fund is a reserve from which assis- tance can be given to needy veterans, their dependents and the widows and children of deceased ex -service per- sonnel. We trust that the local citi- zens will continue to lend their strong support to the Peer support groups forming in every town in Iifdi ' Dear Editor: Understanding and supp are essential components establishing working pe support groups. The consumer initiative h established five peer suppo groups in Huron count These groups offer suppo encouragement, fricndsh and leisure opportunities those with mental heal problems.
