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. • JUNIOR WINNERS In the elementary school division df the Zone 01 Legion public speaking contestheld at the Clinton Legion on March 7, the winners were: Junior (front, left), Nancy Lobb, second; Holmesvllle Public School; Jeff Bowen, first, Exeter Public School; Jason Hayter, third, Robertson Memorial School.
