A performance by some of
the area's new care clowns
and a chance to learn how
rope is made were among
the family events that took
place at the VanEgmond
House in Egmondville
Sunday for the annual
Ciderfest event. Good
weather brought out great
crowds with Dorothy
Williams reporting $300
raised just from the sale of
apple fritters.
Steckle acclaimed as Huron -Bruce
Liberal candidate for federal election
By Amy Zoeqout

Lucknow Sentinel Editor
The Huron -Bruce Liberals
hive onch-again chosen MP
Paul Steckle to represent
them in the next federal
election.
Incumbent Steckle was
acclaimed at a Huron -Bruce
Federal Liberal Assofiation
meeting held in .Lucknow pn
Sept. 13.
"I am responsible for one
of the greatest ridings and I
take this responsibility very
seriously." Steckle told the
shtall group of supporters
gathered at the Lucknow
Legion. "I treasure the
honour you have bestowed
on me."
While Steckle said only the
Prime Minister knows when
an election will be called. he
thought an election may be
called for next spring or fall.
Steckle was first elected to
represent Huron -Bruce in
Ottawa in 1993 and was re-
elected in 1997. Prior. to
enterini federal politics,
Steckle served on council in
his native Stanley Twp. He
was reeve in the township
from 1980-85 and warden of
Huron County in 1985.
"I hope I can live up to
what people think I can
deliver," said Steckle. "It's
always a challenge as we as
elected people go forward to
represent our constituencies
and to try and bring some
sort of balancg to what
people would want us to do
for them because everyone
has an issue that seems very
important to them and we try
to bring representation to
those issues."
. He added that. from time
to time, issues are brought
before members of
parliament that are difficult
to support, even though
constituents wish to support,
making it "difficult to know
what we should do." Steckle
noted,that some politicians
feel polls should be used to
settle issues.
"Elections areimportant
recall mechanisms," said

Steckle, adding that they
work and are very effective.
"I feel it's important that
those who represent
constituents for re-election
purposes ought to know what
is going on...not 30 days
before the electionbut the
number of years before -
when we represent the
constituents on a day to day
basis, when we meet the
people in our office and on
the streets and on the back
roads. These are the kinds of
times when we find out what
people are thinking. I have
tried to bring that kind of
representation to this riding.
"I realize I have failed at,
times," he said. "I am only
one member and only do
what one member can do."
In the last seven years
since the Liberal Party came
to power, the.deficit has been
eliminated but they are now
faced with a sizable surplus.
Steckle noted that the
difficulty is knowing what to
do with the money. Many
believe the surplus should he
spent to enhance government
programs. he said. while
others believe the
government should he
fiscally responsible and use
the surplus towards the
national debt.
"I think the consensus was
that it is time to do what we
can to pay back some of the
debt as quickly as possible."
said Steckle. adding that
along with that must come
some tax deductions.
"It is our responsibility to
bring good government.
provide safe streets. and
provide an economy where
people wish to move forward
and not constantly wonder if
they s ould move across
border tb the United Sta�es."
