The Citizen, 1991-11-06, Page 13THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6,1991. PAGE 13. West Wawanosh candidates seek office Continued from page 12 Nimrod Gun Club. Mr. Chisholm wants to get the taxpayers working together. "We need to get more harmony in the township. This is a fanning town­ ship and I would like to see it stay that way. I do not believe in region­ al government," he said. He sees the most important issue in this election as finishing the sec­ ondary plan so the township can apply for PRIDE grants for the vil­ lages and hamlets. If elected to office Mr. Chisholm will strive to continue the upgrad­ ing of roads, bridges and drains, while trying to keep taxes down. As well, he says, he will try to farm our natural resources in a manner that will see some left for the next generation. E. Wawanosh Reeve candidates JAMES HUNTER As a resident of East Wawanosh Twp. for 26 years and a dairy farmer, Jim Hunter would like to move up to the position of reeve after serving on council for several years. He is presently chairman of the Wingham and District Fire Board and serves on the Belgrave recreation board. In the past he has been a director on the Huron Coun­ ty Federation of Agriculture, direc­ tor of the Huron County Milk Committee, serving as secretary­ treasurer for four years and is past president of the Brussels fair board. If elected as reeve he says he hopes to work closely with people of the township dealing with issues and concerns in a sensible manner as they arise and to work in harmo­ ny with the councillors. NEIL G. VINCENT Neil Vincent brings experience as three years as reeve and eight years as councillor to his quest for the reeve's job. As the township's representative to county council he also served on the social services and planning and development committees and represented the county on the Huron County Chil­ dren's Aid Society and the Huron Centre for Children and Youth. He has been active in community sports as a player and coach and has been a 4H leader for 14 years. "I believe in democratic choice being the protection of our free­ doms," he says. He feels better communications are necessary to understand the economic pressures that many farm families face and to represent their concerns. His goals, if elected, are to get value for money spent, especially at the county level; to do what the ratepayers want in reviewing the secondary plan in 1992, to work with council to have good debate but sound rational decisions and to produce as much moral support for agricultural initiatives as possible at the county level. Council candidates on page 16 WALTER ELLIOTT Candidate for councillor Township of West Wawanosh Walter Elliott believes in respon­ sible government and achieving Ernie Snell says he is running again to be reeve because ratepay­ ers asked him to serve for another term. He has served 10 years as reeve and two years on council. "It takes dedication and time for this position," he says. He feels the important issues in this election are waste management, welfare and health programs. "To maintain roads in the township with less people and provincial grants will be difficult." His goals in the next term will be economic growth and development, he says. NEILG.
