NOVEMBER 9. 1988 — 5A Ivan Norris declares candidacy for Perth warden At an all -candidates meeting for Webbed township in Staffs Wednesday night, ac- claimed reeve Ivan Norris publicly declared his intention to be a candidate for the wardenship of Perth County. "It's a desire roe had for some time," said Mr. Norris at a later interview. "It would be a great honor, and it has been 18. years since Hibbert Township had the warden." The last reeve of Hibbert who served as warden was Ross McPhail in 1970. Mr. Norris first became involved in municipal politics in 1973 and has been both a councillor and reeve in Hibbert. Most recently he served as reeve from 1983 to 1985. He was defeated in the last election by Roy Swart. Mr. Norris' past involvement with county council and county council committees, sup- plemented by work with the Mitchell and District Arena Board and the arena building committee, gives him experience which he feels makes him able and qualified to take the warden's chair. Mr. Norris says he is sure there will be other candidates for the position. A new warden will be selected in December by the reeves on county council DEPUTY REEVE CANDIDATES The two candidates for deputy reeve were the next to speak. Leo Kroonen noted the problem with weeds in the township, and the fact he had already been complaining to the township about them. "If you don't agree with something, you should do your best to change it," said Mr. Kromnen. "And my only promise is if Pm elected I'll clean up the weeds in Ribbert Township." Mr. Kroonen also said his involvement in many agricultural and other organizations in the township since 1960, help to make him a qualified candidate for deputy reeve. Incumbent deputy reeve Walter McKen- zie spoke about improvements in the township over the past three years - im- provements such as roads built up and pav- ed, a new truck purchased, a new heating system in the township shed, and $183,000 which was spent on the roads system. In the future he said he would like to see another 11-12 roles of road done, culverts put in, renovations to expand and insulate the township shed, and the recycling program getting off the ground. The candidates for council, Herb Brown, Frances !Armin Robert L Norris, James Paratchek and Tom Schoonderwoerd also each had an opportunity to address the public. Most of the candidates generally spoke about the maintenance of the township and the recycling program, and said there were no major issues on the horizon to be dealt with. During the question period it was asked why the public is only now at election time finding out what has gone on in the township, and it was suggested the ratepayers could be better informs( Ivan Norris said it was up to the press to cover the meetings, and if there were no lively issues to spark reader interest the press did not seem to be interested. James Paratebek added the minutes from the council meetings were available to ratepayers, and said a council newsletter is possible and could be discussed. Mr. Parat- chek also suggested ratepayers contact the press and let them know they want information. Three of the six trustee candidates for the police village of Dublin: Jerry F uhr, Betty Mammal and Jerry Murray also attended the meeting and spoke about their hopes for the village in the coming three years. Steve Murray, was the only HPRCSSB candidate at •,, emeeting and he spoke about class sizes, and the amalgamation of St. Col- umban and Dublin schools in order to save $80,000 in teachers salaries. Mr. Murray says he would like to see that money in- vested for St. Coluenban and Dublin students. The turnout at the meeting was about 30 people. Those 30 people had little to ask of the candidates. "It doesn't look like we have too many problems in the Township of Hibbert," noted clerk Pat Taylor who chaired the meeting.
