After ,his first unsUeeessf> ' ate�x'� .pt t being elected to Goderich council to 1982, Dave Harrison says he's more prepared the second time around. "I've beenattending council for a year. and a half and hopefully, I'll be able to do the town some, good. I thunk I'll be able to help people out with,their problems and be able to work but compromises as situa- tions arise," he says. A driver for the Goderich District Am- bulance Service for 14 years and a Goderich native, Harrison has also been involved with the bicentennial committee and the tourism committee.

He is also in favor of annexing more in- dustrial land,. "We need laud to attract mere industries and we don't have enough land already in our industrial park." If elected, Harrison would like to see council make its decisions faster. "The BMX track was on the burner for one and a half years and the hot dog wagon issue took four or five.montbs and that's too long. I'd probably be able to give the person a straight answer by the next coun- cil meeting or at least a month later," he says. Dave Harrison McLean says its time for him to get involved WAYNE MCLEAN Working with Court. Jim Searls for 13 years at the Goderich A Sr P grocery store has sparked an interest for municipal politics in Goderich native Wayne McLean. "I just got the feeling I'd like to try coun- cil. I think it'd be interesting. In fact, I decided. it was time I did do something. And, I'll give it a good, honest try," he says. Attracting industry to town and improv- ing the job situation in town are two things McLean wants to accomplish on council. Developing industry is not an easy thing, though since it must mould with the town scheme, he says. Annexing land to attract industry depends on which industry the town is try- ing to attract. Experience means a broader viewpoint JIM SEARLS Seeking a fourth term on Goderich coun- cil, Jim Searls says he's mellowed from . the councillor whose only concern was financial restraint. "I'm taking a broader view than I did five years ago. I now feel more comfor- table looking at the overall picture." "Council spending was excessive at one time but it's been cut down. I've mellowed quite a bit but I still keep an eye on spen- ding and make sure it doesn't creep back in," he says. A 25 year resident of Goderich who's served on council for the past seven years, Searls says the town "has progressed at an even keel which is a lot better than if it boomed all at once." To continue the growth, Searls said he recently voted against an increase in the price of industrial land in Goderich. "Cheap land is the o><tly thing we have to offer. There are no grants available for us since we have such low unemployment in our area," he says.

"If the land was added to the industrial park, we'd have something to offer," he says. As well as attracting new industry, the town should continue working with downtown's businesses and increase their budget rather than cutting it in half as council recently did, he says. "We should give businesses credit for improving their buildings and enhancing the municipality," he says. Another priority for Searls is protecting the beach area for Goderich's public. "There's no way I'm going to sit back and see public access denied 'at the beach," he says. Searls gives credit to every member of council for the past several years for the progress Goderich has made. "We're definitely on the upswing. The tax base is getting better all the time but we can't spend money like drunken sailors in case everything,goes flat," he says.

If we start building industries all over the place, we won't be the same anymore. Growing at a nice, steady pace is the way to do it," he says. Another concern of McLean's is plann- ing the town's spending to benefit as many people as possible. "We don't want to throw money away on frivolous things that aren't of benefit to everyone," he says. Though he has not attended any council meetings, McLean says he'll "soon learn the ins and outs of it." And, be says he hopes he can handle the public scrutiny that goes with the job of councillor. "If you're diplomatic about it, you can pretty well please everybody most of the time," he says. , Jim Searls Searls says his strengths he in his ex- perience of serving on every committee on council (except the fire committee) and his consistency.. _ _ .. "I say what 1 think. Sometimes it may not sit well with a person but if 3 think something's wrong, it's wrong," he says. "I'll still represent the public as a whole and will continue to do so."
