WM. H. KING — Returning Officer TOWNSHIP OF GREY DUBLIN AND AREA ROY SWART DON JOHNS Roads concern Hibbert Roads in the township were the largest concern/ of both the candidates and the taxpayers, at the public meeting of the ratepayers of Hibbert Township, on October 22. The main purpose of the meeting was to give Hibbert residents a chance to meet the candidates for, and those already acclaimed to positions on township council, local school boards; or as police village trustees. With all other positions on council filled by acclama- tion, most of the attention was focused on the three-way battle for the reeveship, between incumbent Ivan Norris and chal- lengers Don Johns and Roy Swart. DON JOHNS Mr. Johns, a veteran of nine years on council, the past five as deputy reeve, was the first of the three candidates to address the meeting. Mr. Johns said the highlight of his years in office was that council had been able to "build up a lot of roads." He pointed out the council had been fortunate during that time because they faced no setbacks, such as need for new machinery so the entire road budget was available for building purposes. If elected, Mr. Johns said his priorities would include the continuation of the road -building program and replacement of the township's road grader. In addition to his positions on council, Mr. Johns served two years on the Mitchell Area Fire Board, has been a member of the Seaforth Fire Area Board for the last three years and has a keen interest in sports, as evidenced byhis arena board membership and membership on the South Hibbert Athletic Association, of which he has been president the past two years. IVAN NORRIS incumbent Reeve Ivan Norris told rate- payers to consider re-electing him for another term, as the current council has "worked fairly well," under his direction. One of his proudest accomplishments was the establishment of a township plan, logo and motto, during' his past term. The ,township's motto is a. fitting one, "because the pep'ple Of Hibbert have worked together and grown together for the past 135 years," Mr. Norris said. r The success of the township's bicentennial celebrations last summer and the completion of the review of the Hibbert Township 4 Official Plan, are two more notable events which occurred during his term, said Mr. Norris. The township is currently in good financial shape, stressed the reeve, with approxi- mately $100,000 in a reserve fund. "I don't take all the credit for that (the surplus)," said Mr. Norris, pointing out that long-time Clerk -Treasurer Charles Friend (who is retiring in' M'ay, 1986) has worked hard at keeping finances in order. The challenge of serving on county council and the Stratford -Perth Archives Board has helped Mr. Norris gain important political experience, he said. I feel I am better qualified at the present time, than I was three years ago. I think the experience has helped," Mr. Norris said. ROY SW ART Former Reeve Roy Swart, who was unseated by Mr. Norris in the last municipal election told the 40-50 township residents present "I wasn't -ready to quit, really," when he lost the position in 1981. He, blamed a series of snags for the township's inability to make significant progress with the road building plan during his time in office. The first year of Mr. Swart's term, it was necessary to replace a bridge and a grader broke down during the second year. "Road construction sort of fell by the wayside," said Mr. Swart. "I don't make very many promises -- I'm not that kind of guy," Mr. Swart said, adding "But, I will do my best." While the three contenders for reeve were the main focus of attention, the other council -elects, who were acclaimed to office also gave brief presentations to the gathering. Deputy Reeve -elect Walter McKenzie indicated his disappointment with the turnout of candidates for the election. "Perhaps the three-year term (initiated in the last municipal elections) has affected the number of people who are willing to let their name stand," he said. "Or maybe everyone ,just feels the present council is doing a good job " Councillor -elect Tom Schoonderwoerd echoed Mr. McKenzie's sentiments and suggested a plan to improve the situation for the next election. IVAN NORRIS taxpayers "I was wondering if perhaps council or a committee couldn't take some time near the end of their term to try and convince more people to run (for , office)," said Mr. Schoonderwoerd. FIRST FEMALE Councillor -elect Florence McPhail said she had been "looking forward to meeting voters on the campaign trail," although she is pleased to have been acclaimed to council. "I was prepared to face an election," said Mrs. McPhail, the first female council member in Hibbert's history. Mrs. McPhail said she was looking forward to learning the routine of council work. "I am not aware of the issues facing ciiuncil, but, I am sure that I will become aware of them soon enough," she said. The other councillor -elect is Jim Parat- diek, a Michigan native, who has lived in Dublin for the past 15 years. A former member of the United States Air Force and a charter member of the local Lions Club, Mr. PaMtchek has never held public office • before. The only questions the candidates faced during a brief question period dealt with apparent violations of th,e road allowance by-law by Hibbert farmers. The allowance, which is supposed to measure 33 feet, from the center of the roadway to the fenceline, is down to 26 feet in some places, said one inquisitor. "I realize we do have a problem with people encroaching on the road allowance in certain instances,' said Mr. Norris, in reply, However, neither Mr. Norris, nor the other candidates volunteered an immediate solu- tion. The rest of the meeting dealt with village trustee and school board candidates. Running for three Police Village of Dublin trusteeships are five candidates: Herb Brown, Jerry Fuhr, Donald MacRae, Jerry Murray and Frank Williams. Candidates for two positions representing Fullarton, Hibbert, Logan and Mitchell on ' the Perth County Education Board are: Bill Cox, Anna Marie Heckman, Ted Loughrey and Carl Vock. Louis Maloney is the Logan -Hibbert Huron -Perth Separate School Board repre- sentative by acclamation. Crafts available at annual bazaar The prizes for the main draw were won by Tim McCure of Brucefield (baby quilt): Joan Murray of RR 5. Mitchell (queen size quilt); and Judy Elsdon of RR 2, Staffa (ceramic nativity set). Lunch, served by the C. W . L dosed the evening. Neighbors and friends had a chance to buy some of the many crafts and produce donated by the St. Patrick's Catholic Women's, League at its annual bazaar last week. The hall was filled with the aroma of the many home baked goodies offered at the Bake Table, a penny sale table was also popular and numerous draws were held throughout the evening.
