The Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-12-07, Page 5Klopp represents NDP
by Amy Neilands
Huron MPP Paul Klopp was
chosen to once again represent the
Huron' NDPs in the upcoming
provincial election.
The Huron New Democratic ,
Provincial Riding Association met '
at the Clinton, Town Hall on
Thursday night to choose their
candidate for the next ,election.
Incumbent Klopp was the only one,
nominated at the meeting to
represent the Huron NDPs.
Paul Ross stepped forward and
made his nomination of Klopp.
"The thing I've always respected
about Paul...his feeling of the wel-
fare of the people. The other reason
is his belief in the in-
dividual...standing up for the in-
dividual. People like you, people
like • me who are just everyday
ordinary folk," said Ross. .
Another thing that Ross said he
admired about Klopp's character as
a leader was his determination to
fight for an idea and to stick with
it.
"He's like a terrier...He grabs
Onto' an idea and the more you kick
to get him off, the stronger he grabs
onto it until he does whatever he
can to achieve the thing that he
believes in passionately."

Johns gets Huron PC nod
by Patrick Raftis
Huron Tories will attempt to ride
a dark horse to victory in the
upcoming provincial election.
Political neophyte Helen Johns
bested 'four other candidates, all
with either extensive experience in
municipal politics or long histories
of activity in the Progressive
Conservative party (or both) at a
nomination meeting, November 30
in Exeter.
Although it required four ballots
to decide the winner, Johns led
from the first ballot to the last,
after captivating delegates with an
upbeat candidacy speech which
focussed on the task of winning the
riding in the upcoming election.
By contrast, all four of Johns'
opponents (Lawrence Beane, Tom
Tomes, John Schenk. and Howard
Armstrong) concentrated on how
an elected Tory party would gov-
ern, basically offering formulistic
interpretations of PC leader Mike
Harris' Common Sense Revolution
platform.
The (Huron) Conservatives have
not electe„d a provincial member of
parliament in 18 years. It is imper-

Zettel said non -chemical weed
control has been done by the City
of Waterloo in its parks for several
years, and is a feasible prospect for
the separate board. The Mildmay
pilot project will be monitored by
the board, and- if. successful could
be expanded to include other board
properties.
Meanwhile, an incident that closed
the Formosa school for a day last
September because of fumes from
maintenance work being done in the
gym has prompted the board to
review its policy. The existing
policy says that such work 'should
be done in summer or on the longer
Christmas and March breaks if
possible.
Weekend work is the last choice,
and if emergency work during the
week results in fumes the school is
to stay closed. Added to that policy
is a provision allowing principals to
moldy parents through a newsletter
of major work projects that could
lead to unacceptable fumes, and
giving parents the decision whether
or not to keep their children home.
Business superintendent Paul
Serre said the expanded policy is
part of the board's "on-going"
effort .to maintain air quality that is
"as pure as possible". But he ad-
mitted it is still a judgement call by
the principal as to the size and
nature of work that may produce
fumes.
