She unfortunately passed away later that year. “I was lucky enough that year to get elected and I’ve been fortunate enough since then to work with some excellent people and I hope I’ve helped out along the way,” he said. “I’ve made some mistakes, I can see that in hindsight, but I’m happy that, for the most part, I’ve been able to help people and contribute something.” While MacGowan has said that his motive is to do what he can for the municipality as a whole, he does have plans to help specific issues. “We’ve always talked about economic development, but the two years I was away gave me some clarity,” he said. “Sometimes you get caught up in the minutiae. Coming back now, I can see that we should only want to deal with two or three very specific goals at a time and that’s it. “From my perspective there needs to be a laser focus on economic development, operational efficiencies and keeping costs as low as possible,” he said. “We know we have a high tax rate and we’re not happy with that, but we would either have to cut into services or focus on economic development to fix that. I hope we do the latter.” He said that the focus on economic development is one that’s appreciated by local business owners and one that will pay dividends in the end. “The few people I’ve talked to about economic development, like the retailers in the Wingham Ward, are happy it’s a focus,” he said. “That’s their focus as well and when business does well in a community, that community is healthy and vibrant. Any investment can help towards that.” Getting back into the position of councillor was not something that MacGowan jumped at. He took some time to think it over. “There was definitely hesitation on my part,” he said. “I found out that Alma would be retiring at John Black’s memorial service [in late April]. She asked me to take time to think about it then. “It wasn’t an easy decision. I’m 100 per cent dedicated to the community but the only way to do this job is with 110 per cent dedication,” he said. In the end he decided to take the job, but he went into it with both his eyes open and with council knowing that he was prepared to draw and hold steadfast lines. “To say being a councillor doesn’t weigh on your family would be a misnomer,” he said. “In my case I’m also running a business which makes it more difficult. I took the time and thought it over and said I would come back with certain things in mind; my family will be a priority and I won’t be running to every daytime meeting that’s called.” As for the future, MacGowan said it’s still in the air. “It’s far too early to tell if I will run in the next election,” he said. “Right now my only focus is on those goals that I’ve set out. I’d like to help out in the next two years and achieve what council looks to do. “We’ll just have to wait and see.” MacGowan said that, regardless of if he runs again or not, he will maintain the same methodology of not limiting himself to working for Wingham Ward residents. “I don’t work for just one ward,” he said. “I know that, as councillors, we get elected to appoint one ward but I represent the people in Blyth and East Wawanosh as much as Wingham.” He said that his message of full- municipality representation must be getting across because he has had calls from people in Blyth and East Wawanosh. “That’s not a slight against the councillors from those wards, it just shows that people are beginning to feel comfortable contacting me as their representative regardless of the ward,” he said. Tetu looks for place on H. East agenda Rob Tetu, co-founder of Huron East Against Turbines (HEAT), was slightly miffed with his placement on the agenda for the Oct. 2 meeting of Huron East Council and was hoping to have it changed in the future. Since he began reporting back to council on the happenings of the Inter-Municipal Turbine Working Group, which often meets near Chesley, he has been listed on the official meeting agenda under the “Delegations” header. As an appointed committee member of council, albeit volunteer, Tetu said he felt he shouldn’t be included under delegations and his appearances should be considered more “official” than that by council. Mayor Bernie MacLellan agreed, saying visitors to council have always been listed as a delegation, but it can be changed to accommodate Tetu and his monthly reports. Later in the meeting Tetu, along with fellow HEAT member Gerry Ryan, requested that council make a member available for the group’s monthly meeting. Ryan said the knowledge being exchanged at the meetings would help keep councillors informed and ahead of the curve in the world of wind turbines. MacLellan, however, has been asked this several times in the past, saying that he would not change the way council has been operating. *** A report was brought to council from Chief Administrative Officer Brad Knight regarding a transmission line that will have to travel through a small portion of Huron East as part of a Grand Bend wind project. Knight said the transmission line is on a larger scale than a similar line running north and south through Cranbrook that has been proposed by NextEra Energy. However, because of the style of the line, the Grand Bend company does not have to meet with and seek approval from abutting landowners. He said the project has applied for 48 wind turbines, but that the final number would likely be closer to 45. *** While stop signs were requested for Victoria Street in Seaforth, council decided to request a greater presence from the OPP on the street in order to deter speeding in the area. Public Works Co-ordinator Barry Mills suggested this was the way to proceed and not stop signs due to several intersections along the street not “lending themselves” to stop signs according to Mills. BIA frustrated with parking bylaw, signs The Blyth Business Improvement Area (BIA) is frustrated with recent limitations on parking areas in downtown Blyth. The group, which held its monthly meeting at the Queens Bakery on Oct. 3, stated that, in a village where attempts were being made to keep visitors and residents in the downtown core longer, limiting parking was a horrible idea. While Deputy-Reeve David Riach explained that the two-hour parking limit that was imposed by a recently passed council bylaw would not be enforced throughout the summer in Blyth to take into account theatre- goers, members of the BIA felt that wasn’t enough. “How will visitors know that they won’t have to move their car at intermission?” Sharon Davis of Sharon’s Miniatures asked. “We’re trying to get people to leave their cars behind, not worry about them or sit in them.” Riach explained that the bylaw was passed for all commercial areas in North Huron which prompted some members of the BIA to comment that, while making sure the townships are treated equally is a valid notion, it wasn’t one that need be applied in all situations. Les Cook, one of the four owners of the Queens Bakery, explained that his business was built around having people come in, sit down and relax, not on having them rushed and stated he was unhappy with the addition of the parking bylaw and signs. The group decided to impress upon North Huron Council a desire to have the signs removed immediately as they are detrimental to business in Blyth’s commercial district.
