The Citizen, 2009-10-22, Page 3THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2009. PAGE 3. Interviews will be held prior to the Nov. 2 meeting of North Huron council to find two new Blyth ward councillors. At the Monday night meeting, clerk-administrator Kriss Snell said that four applications had been submitted for the positions. Seeking the position are Ray Hallahan of RR3, Blyth, Brock Vodden of Blyth, John Roe of Blyth and James Woodley of RR5, Wingham. To represent a specific ward the person need not live there, but must be a resident or property owner of the Twp. of North Huron. “The ward system is not recognized under the Municipal Act,” said Snell. Snell said it is hoped that the decision will be made after the interviews, but council does have until Nov. 21, 60 days from the time the seats were declared vacant. The two vacancies occurred when Blyth councillor Greg McClinchey resigned his position this month, shortly after councillor Murray Nesbitt passed away as the result of an industrial mishap. Sympathy is extended to Anne and Rick Elliott in the death of Anne’s father this past week. Happy birthday to Cliff Snell who celebrates on Oct. 22.
