Few registered for election
By Shawn Loughlin
The Citizen
Despite nominations opening on
May 1 for this fall's municipal
election, very few candidates have
officially filed papers to let their
name stand this October.
Colleen Schenk, the incumbent
trustee with the Avon Maitland
District School Board for North
Huron, Morris-Turnberry and
Howick, is running again, hoping to
win a seventh term on the board.
In Central Huron, while he has yet
to officially do so, Mayor Jim Ginn
announced that he plans to seek re-
election for the municipality's top
spot.
Ginn told his council at the
Monday, May 7 council meeting that
he planned to run again this October.
In Morris-Turnberry, Andrew
Somers has filed to run for a
councillor position, while in Huron
East, Curtis McKinnon has
submitted his name to be a
councillor in the Grey Ward.
As of Tuesday morning, no one
had filed papers in North Huron.
The Citizen will update the list of
candidates every week until the
election, which is set for Oct. 22.

Now pitching...
Londesborough Minor Baseball players will be facing a new pitching machine this summer
thanks to the generous donation of just over $2,000 from the Londesborough Lions Club. With
the warm weather finally here, the players should now be able to take advantage of the new
equipment on the hamlet's fields. Jen Elliott, left, and Dawn Smith, right, of Londesborough
Minor Baseball were on hand for the presentation from Lions Club President Kevin Wright,

Committees coming
Continued from page 1
immediately after the public
meeting, board members thought it
would be best to seek public
committee members.
Going back several years,
McLellan said the priority laid out
for the centre was the expansion and
addition of dressing rooms at the
centre. While those remain a
concern, he said, the public needs to
have its say about what else they'd
like to see improved at the centre
and what they'd be willing to
fundraise in order to help out.
The decision was made to
advertise for a building committee,
he said, so the board could get to
work on making recommendations
for the renovation of the centre.
He said that initially the board
didn't feel that a fundraising
committee needed to be struck right
away. However, members felt it
wouldn't hurt to begin that process
and called for members on that
committee as well.
Board member John Lowe said
that the board has received an offer
from Nicole Jutzi, who was at the
head of fundraising for the Wingham
and Area Hospital's Our Hospital
Our Future campaign, to come and
advise the committee on potential
fundraising avenues.
With letters of interest due to the
board by June 1, McLellan says the
board is aiming to strike the two
committees at its next meeting in
June.
