( Alan Rivett photo ) Good roads, low taxes highlighted STANLEY TWP. - Road improvements, completion of zoning bylaws and low taxes are among the concerns of the four council candidates here. In the running are.Edward Harrison, Bill Dowson, .Jack Coleman and Richard Erb: Three will be elected. Mr. Harrison wants to see township roads repaired and upgraded, property taxes kept in line with the cost of living, and maintenance of the good services already in place in the township. , A newcomer to municipal politics in Stanley, Mr. Harrison said he is seeking election because, "I feel that it is the respon- sibility of every taxpayer not only to take an interest in the affairs of the municipality, but tU get personally involved through par- ticipation in the management of their township business.", ` His aim as councillor :is to keep open corn- munication lines between council and the ratepayers. Mr. Harrison and his wife. live in Brucefield. He is employed by the Huron County Health Unit as director 'of public health inspectors. He is chairman of the Association of Supervisors of Public Health Inspectors for the Southwest Region. "As a public health inspector I have an ongoing concern in the proper management and conservation of our environment . by municipal leaders as well as individuals." Bill Dowson is concerned about municipal affairs in his township. He says he has the time and ability to be involved in politics in Stanley. • The main issues, he says, "are to upgrade our gravel roads by looking into oilliand chip or asphalt, because of the high` cost of gravel, grading and calcium chloride and the paying for and upkeep of our new township complex, while trying to keep,. taxes from escalating." A lifelong township resident, Mr. Dowson is married, with three children. He worked for 18 years with the Tuckersmith Municipal Telephone System and has been farming full time since 1974. Community involvement includes: seven years on the Hensall District Co-op Board of Directors, including one year as president; 10 year member and two year chairman of the Huron County Bean Committee; direc- tor and president of the Stanley Township Federation of Agriculture; three years on the Huron County Pork Producers'; Huron County Cattlemen's Association; steward of the Varna United Church. Incumbent councillor ' Jack Coleman • hopes to continue serving the electorate in • Stanley. "My personal interest in all ,township ac- tivities and my past two terms on council give me valuable experience which will be an asset if re-elected for another term." • Mr. Coleman would like to see the comple- tion of the township's zoning by-laws, more roads paved, the new complex paid for by 1987 and the recreation program improved through use of the complex facilities. , The 44 -year-old township native is mar- ried and has three children. He owns'a 300 - acre farm and operates a mixed farming business. . He's served on council for five years and recreation committee for seven. Other in- volvements include the Bean Producers' Marketing Board, the Masonic Lodge and the Bluewater Shrine Club. Ratepayers' support urged Richard Erb to run for a council seat. He noted, "I chose 1 to run in' the election because I was asked by I several ratepayers and I felt that I had 'something to offer." He is keenly interested in the repair of poor quality roads in the township and the 1 stability of tax levels. A farmer, in Stanley for 24 years, Mr. Erb 1 also operates a meat market. He is married r and has three children.. • ' Active in the Zurich Lions Club, he •has held all executive offices in•the group and 1 has servedas deputy governor and. zone 1 chairman. He was a director on the Ontario Bean Board for, three years. Voters •in Stanley Township will also choose between two candidates for deputy reeve, incumbent Don McGregor and Howard Armstrong. Neither responded to the News -Record questionnaire. For reeve, Clarence Rau has been ac- claimed for another council term. • Board of Education trustee Bob Peck is being challenged at the polls this year by 'three other candidates, William McGregor, -Abby Champ and Audrey McLellan- Triebner, ( For complete details on the education race, please see the election story on the Village of Bayfield. ) The candidate elected for the education ' board will serve both Stanley. Township and ' Bayfield. Peck challenged by three candidates • from page 5 the past 11 years. He and his wife Elva rais- . ad six children. He is a veteran of the WWII and is a partner of the Peck Appliance Store in Varna. Abby Champ, 25, of Bayfield lists as a priority item to bring the public and the board of education closer together. She says the present board members are not doing enough to educate the public, especially the parents of school children, on the functions of the board. "Our system does not have the parental support it deserves and I feel that that is because the parents do not know exactly what is going on at the board office. They do not know when the meetings are; what com- mittees are meeting; what they are meeting about or who is on the committees. The lines Of communication must be opened," she says. Ms. Champ says she would also imple- ment programs in the school system which will be the "most relevant" to students in the area. A more relevant curriculum, she says, may keep more students in school who might otherwise leave school before gradua- tion. "For example, the emphasis of our com- munity is on agriculture. Many of our students will be involved .in some aspect of agriculture upon graduation. Thus, we should make sure that agriculture as a sub- ject.is properly represented in our schools." Since this is a time of financial restraint, she feels the electorate must get the most from their educational dollars. "Old and new programs have to be ex- amined to see how effective they really are in reaching their goals." she said. Ms. Champ says she is running for the education position because she feels strong- ly about education and the impact it has en' our lives. "The years we spend as students to a large degree shape our lives and opinions dictating what kind of lives we will lead. It is . very, important that caring people are in- volved who are prepared to spend the time to make the system work and inspire the next generation." A graduate of the Huron County school system, Ms. Champ has attended other schools in Canada, England and the United States. Her university degree is in political science. She recently completed a post- Reigellect Robert Bell as Reeve For continued representation of Tuckersmith electors graduate year at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland where she studied Polish Language in Literature. She also taught English conversation in two Krakow hig schools and lead an English speaking camp for high school students. , William McGregor, a lifetime native of � Stanley Township, is another candidate who is also bothered by the low profile the Board of Education has in Huron County. "1 feel that the electors in Huron do not get enough information from the board, (and should) have more openness," he replied in the questionnaire. The 35 -year-old farmer feels themain issues facing the board are, Roman Catholic funding, French immersion and the loss of technical programs. Mr. McGregor's decision to run for the board of education position was based on having a young family in the school system. He said, "I could relate to some of the pro- blems and help with a solution in our school system." He and his wife Mary Lou have three children. Mr. McGregor attended school in Stanley and Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. He graduated from the University. •of Guelph with a diploma in agriculture. He has been a member of the Huron Coun- ty Pork Producers for six years, the Huron County Bean Producers ,for 10 years, direct tor on the Ontario Bean Produce Marketing Board, the Stanley Townsh • Recreation Committee and a steward 0 Brucefield United Church. , In listing the attributes he will bring to thi position, Mr. McGregor says he will provide the board with fresh ideas, a willingness 41 listen to different opinions and fairness. ; Audry McClennan-Triebner, the mothe# of two children, entered the election because she is a mother with a child in the school system. i Her aim if elected would be to work fo" better communication among the to payers, the board, and the teachers. Sh feels the main issues that should be addres ed by the board are, fidances, French ' mersion, class size and separate and priva school funding. Married, she has two sons.
