We have to keep our young people.in town. They shouldn't have to go out of town to work." Mr. Johnston noted he was also quite in- terested in the issue of garbage disposal in the town, ancf how it's going to affect people financially, and in terms of availability in getting rid of it. "I also have some concern over taxes in town, and would like to make sure every dollar taken out for taxes is used wisely," he said. Although he expressed interest in the work the mainstreet coordinator has done in town over the last two years, Mr. Johnston also expressed concern about the number of government grants the town has been get- ting, grants which may in fact have to be matched by the town. "I'm very much interested in the town coordinator's work but a town can only sup- port so much. We're a small town and the ratepayers can only support so much," he said. Mr. Johnston said he found the town sidewalks and streets to be in "reasonably good shape" , but added there was room for lmprovenient. "I have no chip on my shoulder about what has been done in town. I'm just here as a ratepayer to work along with council members to make the town a better place to live and work in, he said. "Personally I feel the town has progress- ed over the last three years. There's evidence of the town being busier, stores are occupied and just generally speaking there is an improvement." Mr. Johnston added he regards Seaforth in a "very positive manner", and cited the arena, the high school, the hospital and the nursing and rest homes as some of the DOERR'S' Appliance & TV G.E. and ZEN,- '1 Phone 348--,,,33 Open 6 Days a Week MAIN ST.

He said he was pleased enough interest had been shown in the town this year to force an election, but added he'd like to see even more people interested in running for council. "It shows there is an active interest in the town," said Mr. Johnston. "People should be well informed and be- ing on council is one way to do that." Mr. Johnston is married, and a father to two grown children. PAT MALONE Pat Malone is a newcomer to the political arena and if elected, said he is looking for- ward to serving the town he was raised in, in the capacity of councillor. Married and a father to two young children, Mr. Malone was first prompted to rim for council by a curiosity about the workings of local politics. "When you're single you have no interest in those kind of things, but once you get mar- ried and have a family you start to get more involved in the community," he said. "I'm not a member of any other group, and thought this would be a good way to get involved in the town. I had heard several people were not running again, and thought this would be something I could do for the town, and do at least as well as other councillors." Mr. Malone admitted he would be a rookie at the job, and doesn't know for sure what he could offer the town, aside from his en- thusiasm and general interest in the well be- ing of Seaforth. I was raised here, and am interested in this community. You always have a soft spot for the home town," he said. "I'm married. I have a family. I'm established and responsible. And if you're doing a good job administering a household you should be able to expand on that, and help the town." Mr. Malone said there was no one big issue that concerned him, but added he'd like to see the town continue with its street resurfacing project, rather than divert dollars elsewhere. "Not to say I don't want progress, but I want to see the streets taken to completion. I'd also like to see the other programs already started by the town ( landfill, sewers etc.) finished." Like Mr. Johnston Mr. Malone was pleas- ed there was enough interest in municipal politics to warrant an election this time around. "It's more democratic ii' you're given a choice rather than have people thrust on you. I would take it as being an honor if I was elected, because it would mean a lot of people believe in me, and that I could do the job," he said. "And if I am elected I would hope to carry on the works of past councils." GARRY OSBORN Incumbent Garry Osborn enjoyed his first term as Seaforth Town Councillor so much, he is seeking re-election on November 14. "Although he admitted being a town coun- cillor was different from what he had ex- pected, Mr. Osborn said it proved to be a "great experience" for him. "It would be great for everyone to try it. It makes you aware of what's going on in town. There's a terrific amount to learn about things that normally wouldn't even affect you," he said. As a member of council Mr. Osborn has served on Seaforth's Transportation and Environment Committee and Sewer Liason Committee, as well as being council's representative on both the Seaforth Com- munity Hospital Board and the Van Egmond Foundation Board. Outside of council he is an associate member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 156 Seaforth, and serves on its entertainment committee. If re-elected Mr. Osborn said he would like to see the town's street and sidewalk pro- grams completed as soon as financially possible, and the sewer project completed so the town can accommodate new industry, business and housing expansion. He would also like to continue on as council's representative to the hospital board in order that he might see the hospital expansion through to completion. "There's also the landfill site, but hopeful- ly we've go that under control," said Mr. Osborn, adding however that recycling might be an issue the Town of Seaforth will have to address in the near future. "The present council did a really good job. they kept the local taxes pretty reasonable compared to other places, and finally, at the end of our reign, there's industry back in town." Like others running for council, Mr. Osborn said he favors an election over ac- clamation, but added he thinks there should be a lot more than seven people vying for the six council seats. "It'd be better if there were 10 to 15 runn- ing," he said. Mr. Osborn and his wife Barb manage the Becker's Milk store on Seaforth's Main Street. They have one son. BILL PINDER Bill Pinder served the Town of Seaforth in the capacity Of councillor for five years from 1961-1965, before a self-imposed political exile of 13 years. Now, with his two children fully grown and pretty well on their own, he is making a comeback. "It's time to get back into trying to do something for the town again," he said. "It is something I've been thinking about for the last couple of years, and now just seems a good time for me to run for council." "On a general basis, I've lived here all my life, and being on conned you get the advan- tage of knowing more about your town, and it's amazing what you learn when you get on council - the small things you don't expect." Mr. Pinder said he had no main concerns with the present council, and added he thought the town had been running pretty well. He did however, express interest in get- ting more industrial land for the Town of Seaforth, land that was closer to that already being used for industrial/commer- cial purposes. "There's the land on the southwest side of town, but I don't agree with that being put into industrial use. It's not on the same side as the other industrial land, and I don't like the idea of floating industry from one side of the town to another," he said. Another issue in the Town of Seaforth Mr. Pinders believes will have to be resolved soon by council is the sewer works. But having been out of municipal polities for 13 years, Mr. Pinder said he doesn't ex- pect to be able to pick up where he left off. "It'll be an asset having been on council before, but I'll need time to update myself. It'll be a new experience again for me. By thb sounds of It it's a whole new ball game from s hat it was years ago. A lot more time is involved," he said, noting the entire tran- sition of council could be tough this time around, since Seaforth could have a minimum of four and possibly five new members of council. "To just get up nand say you'll do everything right is not the right thing to do either, I think you have to feel your way into council first, especially with four new councillors." "Seaforth is a good town and it's got good people. The government and council have really been promoting town well. I think. you have to keep your town active - and in the past we've been able to do that." Mr. Pinder said the town has to continue to promote itself, and at the same time generate new ideas. He added he, himself, has some ideas for the town that he would like to bring in sometime in the future - ideas he hopes will prove advantageous to the town. "Then again, as the saying goes, I could offer them the world and give them nothing. You just have to try these things." Mr. Pinder is the chief custodian at the Seaforth District High School and has spent 10 years on Seaforth's volunteer fire depart- ment. Other interests include sports. DAVE STAFFEN Dave Staffen is another Seaforth resident who wants to give something back to the community where he was born and raised'. Recently returned from a 111 year leave of absence to "chs „ adventure" which he claims he's not surlhe found, Mr. Steffen said he would like to see Seaforth progress, but maintain its small town charm in the process. Having lived away from Seaforth, then moved back, Mr. Steffen said he has developed a whole new appreciation for his hometown. "A lot of people my own age; and from the up and coming generation, have the idea that there's nothing here. That Seaforth is this dead place. But I'm looking at Seaforth in a different light," he said.. "I've lived in a big city, travelled fairly extensively, and seen quite a bit of how the rest of the world lives, and what cultures other towns offer, and I've decided Seaforth is a nice place to live. The people are basically friendly, they have time to talk to you on the street, and the town itself is also developing. Seaforth has a lot to offer, it's moving into the future." Mr. Staffen said he is somewhat concern- ed about the industry situation in Seaforth, and would like to see that developed and more employment opportunities brought to town so the option isn't to go to Stratford or London. "It's nice to see different industries, like the spring factory, come to Seaforth, and of- fer apprenticeships - chances for people to develop their potential and expand their horizons, not work in a dead end job," he said. Mr. Staffen also expressed his apprecia- tion for the town's effort in recording and preserving its history, through its participa- tion in the heritage program. As a carpenter, he said, he could appreciate the workmanship of the buildings, something he said is a lost art today. The old people, who were the master craftsmen, are dying, and their art is not taught in schools now. To have the heritage program is good, because these buildings are as fascinating as the tradesmen." In addition to working at developing a small business in home maintenance and decorating, Mr. Steffen works part time at Mac's Milk. A self-proclaimed lover of peo- ple, Mr. Staffen has in the past, worked to establish and provide leadership to youth groups in the church, held a position on the Christian Board of Education, and played an active role in the Big Brothers organization. "I like to be involved and helping out in some way. I feel I have some organizing talents and abilities, which help things move along," he said. "I'd like to be active in Seaforth, more than as someone who just lives here. Things are happening in town, and I want to be ac- tive in what is happening, so Seaforth does move on and is a good place to live." Mr. Staffen's constant companion is a Black Labrador Retriever. BILL TEALL A desire to put something back into a town that has served him well, was what motivated Bill Teall to run for a position on Seaforth Town Council. A lifelong resident of Seaforth Mr. Teall ran the G.M. dealer- ship in town for a number of years. In 1974 he sold the dealership and returned to university, where he eventually earned the right to teach school. Mr. Teall is now a primary school teacher in Holmesville. "I felt it was time I didn something for the Town of Seaforth. It has certainly served me well, and I haven't put that much back into it so far," said Mr. Tenn. "I have energies that haven't been tapped out because I haven't done a lot of public service," said Mr. Teall, "but the style of being a teacher lends itself to being on coun- cil, because of the leadership skills it develops in an individual." Concerned primarily about the environ- ment, and particularly about the landfill situation in Seaforth, Mr. Teall has been looking at recycling as an alternative for the Town of Seaforth. "Recycling is where we should be. A lot of other people have already started on it, and in light of the dump closing, and us having to truck our garbage, recycling not only seems the way to save the environment, but the way to get closer to a solution to waste in general," he noted. "Council will have to come to some resolve along those lines." Like the other candidates in this election Mr. Teall welcomes a fight for the council seats. "It's an unfortunate situation when you do have apathy because you're put into a situa- tion where you get what you deserve, because people are not willing to put in time to do volunteer work. When there's an elec- tion people are going in because other peo- ple want them in, not because they're scrounging around for someone to fill the seats. It downgrades the position when there's not enough people to contest the posi- tibn. The only exception, of course, is when the people in the past have done such a great job they shouldn't be replaced." Mr. Teall is married and has two children. He is also this year, involved in a volunteer capacity, with ringette. Next week meet Seaforth's candidates for mayor. •
