CASKANETTE NAME: Perry Caskanette ORGANIZATION: Deputy Mayor Township of Lucan Biddulph. 2004 WILL BE A YEAR OF: The half -full cup. Lucan Biddulph council will be looking at changing a couple of major things. When people see change, They immediately see the negatives and vocalize them. Do not forget to look for the positives as well and celebrate those as loudly as you do the nega- tives. The mayor's initial address focused on several issues including communication between council and the people, the structure of the arena board, fiscal government and I would add garbage to the list. All of these issues will be met with open, logical debate resulting in reasonable, thought -driven solutions. I look forward to serving on this council and I encourage you to contact me or someone else on council with thoughts and ideas. The Exeter Times -Advocate surveyed prominent members in our community asking for their forecast of 2004.Will it be a year of development, change or challenges or will it be a year of cutbacks, hard decisions or hard work? NAME: Dave Urlin ORGANIZATION: Deputy Mayor, Town of South Huron. 2004 WILL BE A YEAR OF: everything from cutbacks to balancing the financial future of our diverse town to the day-to-day challenges of society with the things that we have no control over: SARS, BSC, trade wars and the world economy. The coming year's challenges and how to meet them: We will be doing our homework on a number of pro- jects, sewers in Crediton and Centralia, waste from the lake, keeping our wells and selling the water, doing more road work, looking after our buildings, attracting new development to the south end along Hwy. #4, the purchase of Huron Park from the provincial govern- ment just to name a few and there are many others. Always trying to remember that there is only one tax payer. Additional comments: I take this opportunity to wish everyone in South Huron, from my family to yours, all the best in 2004.

NAME: Harvey Ratz ORGANIZATION: South Huron Council (Ward 1) Member 2004 WILL BE A YEAR OF: Continued growth as we enter year four of amalgama- tion. Being a member of council for the third year we have many good accomplishments and many good things in the process stage. As usual council and staff will have to work hard to keep tax increases to a minimum and yet maintain past services and provide ser- slAj deJ HARVEY RATZ vices as we go into the future that most residents and ratepayers want. Continue to co-operate with present and future residents to continue the suc- cess South Huron has had in building and devel- opment permit total. The total for 2003 is estimat- ed at $17-18 million. Continue with residents of Crediton and Centralia to get government funding and try to arrive at a solution that is satisfactory to residents of each village. Continue in our efforts in getting Huron Park from government owner- ship to private ownership. NAME: George Robertson ORGANIZATION: Councillor Ward 2 Exeter 2004 WILL BE A YEAR OF: The Municipality of South Huron had three years to bond and get to know the three wards of Usborne, Exeter and Stephen could work as a unit. I think now that municipality will need to grow and move forward. If this part of Huron County is to grow and prosper, South Huron must lead the way. We now have all the tools in place, a keen workforce, the best equip- ment for them to work with and the backing GEORGE of council. ROBERTSON We as council must focus on keeping South Huron running smoothly. We must not lose sight of the existing problems such flooding in Exeter, making the right decisions on sewage problems and taking care of the municipality's water far into the future. With all this in mind, we must also remember who will be paying for this. It will be a year of decisions and hard work. That being said I would like to take this oppor- tunity to wish everyone health and happiness over the holidays and a safe and happy new year.
