Blyth candidates speak on the issues
THOMAS CRONIN
A resident and businessman in
Blyth for 27 years, Mr. Cronin is
seeking to return two council after
previously serving twjo terms as
reeve. During his time on County
council he also served three years
on the Huron County Board of
Health, one year as chairman and
two years, one as chairman, on the
Roads Committee. He says he quit
council six years ago because he
needed to concentrate on expansion
of his business but now, with com
petent staff in place, feels he can
devote more time to his interest in
the growth and well being of the
village.
His goals on council would be to
keep taxes to a minimum; to keep
administration costs to a minimum
and to discontinue payment for
extra council meetings.
The issues, he feels, are to keep
taxes to a minimum; the proposed
reconstruction of Blyth's main
street which will affect main vil
lage drains; the development of
waste disposal management poli
cies; and restraint in spending dur
ing a time of recession.
DAVID LEE
Dave Lee has decided to run for
reeve after serving three years on
council. He also has four years
experience as a union steward and
served on the joint company-union
committee at Sifto Salt.
"I feel we have a very special vil
lage here and I feel I can help con
tinue it on," he said.
In the next three years he feels
Blyth's interests must be represent
ed at the county level on issues
such as the County's Waste Man
agement Master Plan and landfill
sites and in the County Study on
restructuring. "We must participate
in the county landfill but we must
be allowed to keep our own site
operating as long as possible and
should only have to pay set-up
costs, not operating fees until we
use the county site."
R. JOHN ELLIOTT
R. John Elliott said he decided to
run for municipal office because
people must get involved and the
municipal level is the place to
begin to change or reduce the bur
den of taxation. Decisions at all
levels must be made by responsi
ble, well-informed elected individ
uals, he said.
The owner and operator of Elliott
Insurance Brokers has been
involved over 30 years with minor
sports, the Blyth and District Area
Fire Board, Blyth P.U.C. and spent
14 years as a trustee on the Huron
County Bd. of Education, including
a two-year term as chairman.
He feels it is important to strive
for responsible fiscal controls on
spending and decisions at the vil
lage level and encourage colleagues
at senior levels to practice the same
control.

educate future generations on the
history of Memorial Hall and what
it means to Blyth. I would like to
be instrumental in further planning
and development in Blyth."
ROBIN JAMES LAWRIE
Robbie Lawrie is seeking to
return to council after an absence of
several years. Beginning in the
1970's, he served one term on
council, two terms as Reeve and

SHIRLEY FYFE
Shirley Fyfe says she is running
for a second term on council
because she is interested in the
growth and development of Blyth.
Her experience in the past three
years on various committees is an
asset, she feels. "I would like to see
the work completed that the present
council started such as the streets,
lighting, the main street reconstruc
tion and the many other things that
come up to keep our village a safe
and pleasant place to live."

AL DONALDSON
Al Donaldson says that because
he is retired he can afford to devote
a lot of time to the affairs of the vil
lage. He has been a member of the
village's business and tourism com
mittee, secretary of the Lions Club,
a member of the Blyth Legon and
has been a Mason for 34 years. He
was also involved in getting deliv
ery of perscription medicines to

LORNA FRASER
Loma Fraser has served on coun

feels that the experience on council,
plus her experience in business and
as superintendent of the Sunday
School at Blyth United Church and
her viewpoint as a woman are an
asset to the community. She feels
that her year on council has been a
learning experience to enable her to
