John Bezaire wins election for 2008 Huron warden
Central Huron's deputy reeve has
the key to the county — though it is
wooden, so it wouldn't work.
John Bezaire was presented with
the key, county crest, pin and offi-
cial chain of office Wednesday after-
noon, after being elected warden in
the first official contest the county
has had for the one-year position in
recent memory.
Before the vote was cast, outgoing
warden Deb Shewfelt, Mayor of
Goderich, noted the unusually
sunny weather was in contrast to
years past.
"Usually on Election Day, there'. s
a mighty storm," he said. "I think
we're all looking for a little excite-
ment."
Bezaire was nominated for the
position by Ben Van Diepenbeek,
Reeve of Ashfield-Colborne-
Wawanosh (ACW), who noted
Bezaire is a veteran municipal
councillor who has sat on several
county committees, including acting
as chairman of the Health, Social
Services and Ambulances commit-
tee this past year.
Van Diepenbeek added Bezaire, a
businessman, has the full support of
his wife, Sherri, three children, par-
ents Ed and Cathy and in-laws,
Norma and Gary Preszcator.
"I think John will do an excellent
job as Warden of the County for
2008," he said.
Meanwhile, Bill Dowson, Mayor of
Bluewater, took to the podium to
nominate Dorothy Kelly, Reeve of
Morris-Turnberry, for the spot.
He noted the retired municipal
clerk -treasurer has hands-on expe-
rience with the inner -workings of
budgets, and that she "has served
her dues with county clerks and
treasurers."
During their respective speeches,
Bezaire told councillors he was com-
pelled to run out of a strong belief in
the importance of the office.
"We all have a contribution to
make as we attempt to meet our
challenges and seize our opportuni-
ties," said Bezaire, who added as
warden, he'd like to see the county
"adapt and evolve" to its full poten-
tial.
Kelly said as warden, her main
goal would be to do an efficient and
professional job "of promoting the
County of Huron."
The only failure in life, she said, is
"the failure to try."
Kelly, who also has experience
serving on a number of committees,
including chairing the county's
Accessibility Advisory Committee
this past year, added it would be her
goal to see county taxes kept within
a "reasonable range."
As is protocol, the vote for warden
was an open, recorded one.
Those voting m favour of Bezaire
were Van Diepenbeek, Neil Rintoul
(ACW), Dave Johnston (Bluewater),
James Fergusson (Bluewater), Bert
Dykstra (Central Huron), Bezaire,
Tim Collyer (Central Huron), Max
Demaray (Howick), Joe Seili (Huron
East), Neil Vincent (North Huron),
Ken Oke (South Huron), George
Robertson (South Huron) and Jim
Dietrich (South Huron).
Those favouring Kelly were
Dowson, Shewfelt, John Grace
(Goderich), Bernie MacLellan
(Huron East), Bill Siempn (Huron
East) and Kelly.
Murray Scott (North Huron) was
absent for the vote.

the great room offers an expansive
area for casual day-to-day living,
while a separate dining room pro-
vides a location for more formal

will never feel isolated. Ample count-
er space and an island with a cook -

responsible for meal preparation.
Windows over the kitchen sink, set at
an angle, overlook two covered patios.
A good-sized carousel breakfast room
will be ideal not just for breakfast,
but for all informal meals. A door
opens on to a second covered patio,
perfect for al fresco meals during the
warmer months.
The home measures 52 feet, 8 inches

1,986 square feet of lining space. An
unfinished basement is included in
the plans.
