Colborne Reeve Russell I{erpighan, who
had been on a vacation to southwest Asia,.,'
said he was immediately confronted: with
the article when' he returned. He claifns lie"
is happy with the county situation as it cur-,
rently exists.
"I wouldn't change a•thing, not even the.,
press," said Mr. Kernighan.
He said his travels in Asia gave him a.
perspective on the situation happening in
the county, with the troubles in Huron
County paling in comparison 'to the daily
news which comes out of Asia.
"Every day in the newspapers you read
about someone shot. or assassinated by a
group," he said.
Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston said the
nature of,beirig—tn pub-lie—office—leaves
politicians open to public scrutiny and
criticism, but he took exception to the ac-
cusations aimed at the county administra-
tion in the Free Press article.
"I'm quite sure we've made mistakes in
the pat and I'm sure we'll make some in
the future. But, in the 91/2 years I've been
on ;council I've never seen an employee
vote nor tell me how to vote. We ask for ad-
vice, but' that's only natural. If there is
criticism, it should be directed at the
1, politicians and shouldn."t be levelled at the
staff and employees. That's totally out of•
• line. It's a personal vendetta against the,_^ _
county," said Mr. Johnston.
Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling
said the press have an important role to
play as long as they display fairness when
dealing with county matters. He also said
he has worked for a number of years with
the county administration and found them •
to be of "good calibre" with "nothing to
my knowledge done under the table".
Hensall Reeve Jim Robinson said his
local council has, been covered well by the
two local newspapers in the • area and
"should not be judged by the antics of the
Free Press."
Referring to the Free Press article as
"`garbage", he agreed that the county
, should not' respond to the- accusations in-
cluded in the article. -
Former Warden Leona Armstrong,
reeve of Grey Township, concurred with
Mr. Robinson that no action should be -.
taken towards the article. She also took of-
fence to the criticism of the administration
in the article, saying she was "shocked at
how it was degraded in the paper."
Hullett Reeve Tom Cunningham said,
because of a changing society, councillors
today must be more willing to accept
criticism. He also expressed high regard
for both the county -administration and,
with the exception "of one , newspaper.
which I never read" meaning the Focus ,
newsmagazine which features a column by
Huron County opponent Elsa Haydon, he
commended the local press for . their
coverage of the council:
"It seems society is in a mode today of
being more conscious of what's going on
and are more liable to criticize. We have to
accept that even though it's hard to take.
I've nester once had any problem with the
press, with the exception of one•newspaper
which I never read, and I hope that it will •
, continue that way." he said.
