Green not seeking Grand Bend re-election
GRAND BEND. - Recvc Harold
Green, who has served the commu
nity of Grand Bend for 14 years in
some capacity_ on council, an-
• nounced reeently that he will not be
running for re lection this fall.
"I've. been there .14 years and I
_think ,it's time for me to get out,".
Green said Thursday. "It's brie for
somebody with some fresh ideas to
get -in there.
. His primary reastn for retiring
from public office is a. municipal
rule which requires councillors to
own property in their municipality.
Green is building a house on prop-
erty_outside Grand Bend because'he
was unable to find a suitable lot in
the village.
.Another factor.in Green's decision
is the increased pressure council has
:been under in the past two .years. -
"The.way we arc right now, -with
all the development going on;- it
was almost like a full-time job,"
_Green' explained: "I haven't -had a
. good holiday in 13 years."
• The Reeve expressed regret over
leaving several items of business
unfinished, such as the annexation.

'Td like to see somebody new and
fresh with some good fresh ideas,"
he -said.. "It's time somebody came
up with a whole new approach to
it.,
. One Of the natural -choices to take
over where Green left off is.Deputy
Reeve Dennis Snider. Snider said
-Thursday that he..would definitely
stand for re-election, but he was un-
sure_which position he would .pur-
-- sue.
"I've got to figure out how much
time -I've got for other activities.
That's my .problem -- that's my
only problem."
Snider added that he would never
run against Green. Despite frequent •
disagreements between the two _in
-the council chambers, Snider said of
Green, "council business has al -

where it belongs.
After -her first term on council,
Marsha Lemon is•also considering a
second kick at the can..
"1'm thinking about it -- I'm. seri-
ously thinking about it," Lemon
said at her place of business Thurs-
day. .
The commitment council requires
will be a factor in her decision,
which she expects to make ;n the
next few days.
"The work -load has increased dra-
matically over the last three years;"
she said. .
For Bruce Woodley, the decision
has already been made. •
"Yes, I am going to run in the
election as a councillor, but noth-
ing more," Woodley said Monday,
noting that family responsibilities
and various other community Com-
mitments prevent him from going
after the position of Reeve or De-
puty Reeve. .

much and I, want :to continue as
councillor,"itic added.
Shirley Mitchell, who took over
for an ailing Barb Southcott earlier
this year, originally had no inten-
tion of running for council. But she
may respond to the positive feed-
back she has received from the pub-
lic.
"A' lot -of people want me to
run," Mitchell said. "I'm sort of be-
ing pressured into it."
Mitchell, who usually spends a
portion of the winter in Florida,
finds the three-year term a bit in-
timida ing. She would have to re-
organize her winter holidays into
shorter stints.
"You don't mind one or two
years, but you think -- three years --
it's a long time to give up every
winter." •

"There's a lot going on in town," .
Mitchell said. "We need somebody
in council. I'm going t� live the
rcst of my Life here."
Rumours have been circulating
through the village that former
Reeve Bob Sharen will be running
for the top position on council in
November:
Sharen said Monday that he was
considering throwing his hat into
the ring, but would wait until th¢
last couple of weeks to decide. -
"I am being approached quite a bit
but I have -not made a decision,"
Sharen said. "It takes quite a bit of
discussion with the family before
you make a decision like that."
