In 1957 he was hired again at the shoe factory, where he worked in pro- duction until June 1964. In August of that year he became a district manager of Forester's Life Insurance Co. where he stayed until 1968. In 1969 took a sales position with Metropolitan Life, and in June 1976 represented Crown Life of London in the Seaforth area. Reeve Bennett returned to the shoe fac- tory, and worked in the plant as assistant manager and then foreman of the cutting room until 1985. Now he is in the horse business - racing seven horses in local contests. Reeve Bennett became interested in runn- ing for council in 1974 because he has always lived in Seaforth and was interested in the way the town worked. Ile was a council member from 1974 to 1985. In 1985 he became reeve. As reeve, Mr. Bennett represents Seaforth on Huron County Council, and is a member of its library committee and its ilason com- mittee to update sewers. In 1986-87 Reeve Bennett was on the roads committee for Huron County Council. Locally Reeve Bennett has been a chair- man of the public works committee, the transportation and environment committee and the arena board. He has also been a member of the police committee, the finance and general government committee and the reconstrucion and development committee. Reev Bennett said council and the town of Seaforth have advanced a lot over the past five years, with the economic and develop- ment committee bringing in industry to what had been for years a dormant town. His goal while on council is to make Seaforth better for the younger generation so they will stay and create a better future fo Seaforth. He said people want more and better services and it is a battle to keep these things and still stay within the budget. "Our town is run as well as any other town," he conceded. Reeve Bennett said he likes the challeng- ing work on council and the rewards that sometimes come with it. Some of the rewards he is proud of are street repairs and new businesses that are changing the face of Main Street almost every six months. One thing he does not like to see is industry, such as the pants company, folding. Reeve Bennett is married, and he and his wife Betty have three children, Stephen, Kevin and Karen. Third in line to the top member of council is Deputy -reeve Hazel Hildebrand. She grew up in Tuckersmith Township, attended SDHS, but left to help out on her family's farm in 1942. From 1947 to 1962 Mrs. Hildebrand was a part-time operator for Bell Telephone. Among other small jobs, she worked at McCormicks for six months in 1945 and at Stewart Brothers for one year in 1946. In 1962 she and her husband opened a paint and paper store in Seaforth. Mrs. Hildebrand became interested in town council because of her husband's in- volvement and because she was interested in municipal affairs. She was elected as a council member in 1990 and has spent eight years on council in one, two-year term and two, three-year terms. In 1985 she was ac- claimed deputy -reeve. Some of Mrs. Hildebrand's duties as deputy -reeve include a position on council on much the same level as other members, but also the responsibility of filling in for the reeve at the county level whenever necessary. One thing Deputy -reeve Hildebrand en- joys about council is keeping informed of the town's business. She is married to George and they have three children, Joan, Steve and Doug. Peg Campbell Is a council member who grew up in Toronto and Wingham. She graduated from the Wingham High School in 1963. For two years following her graduation Mrs. Campbell worked as a teller in the Wingham Bank of Commerce. She married in 1964, raised her children, then in 1974 once they were all in school, founded a clothing store called Jack and Jill's. She stayed there for two years. Following that Mrs. Campbell worked as a clerk for the Canadian Tire Corporation, before going to work for the Seaforth Veterinary Clinic in 1977, where she remains. Mrs. Campbell decided to run for council in 1985 when her three children were packed off to school, and because she had an avid in- terest in the town, and wanted to know how council worked. She had previously been a member of the town's recreation committee. As a councillor she has been kept busy as a member of the arena, police and negotiating committees. But her favorite project is the Streetscape plan for Seaforth, and she is a public member of.the commit- tee formed to enact it. She said she is keenly interested in keep- ing Seaforth beautiful, and in learning more about her duties as a council member. She acknowledged there are times when decisions prompt discontent among the community, or when projects aren't com- pleted as fast or as well as they should have been, but she never gives up. She just keeps on reading and learning. She and her husband Charlie have three children, Jim, Barry and Chris. Harry Hak is another active member of the community and a member of Seaforth Town Council. Originally of Holland, Mr. Hak emigrated to Canada in 1953 and took up farming. He had been a farmer in Holland as well. In 1956 Mr. Hak took a job as foreman at the Jack Hood School Supplies in Stratford for five years. In 1959 he married and one year later was hired at Henderson Starter Chicks, where he remained until 1966. From 1966 to 1968, he worked at his own construction business, but when that failed, he turned to custodial work at St. James Separate School. In 1971 Mr. Hak joined the local volunteer fire deartrnent and was chief from 1978 to 1986. He joined council in 1985 and his reasons for doing so are different from most. Age was a great factor in his decision. Mr. Hak said he wanted to run for council before he became too old. He also wanted to pay the town back for everything it had given him in the past. As a councillor Mr. Hak is also a member of the transportation and environment com- mittee, the planning and advisory commit- tee, and the economic development commit- tee. He is chairman of the protection to per- sons and property (police) committee. Some goals Mr. Hak has include: serving Seaforth to the best of his ability, staying in- formed of local events and donating something back to the community. He said although these tasks sound easy, they are more difficult because of government limits on money. Mr. Hak agreed with Mrs. Campbell when he said the job had few rewards, but added there is satisfaction in seeing the good results and hearing the positive comments from the town's residents and visitors. He is married to Catherine and has six children. Garry Osborn grew up in the township of Logan, and graduated from the Stratford High School in 1962. After graduation he went to work for United Auto Parts. He worked for them for 15 years. Five years ago he started work as a mechanic for Boyes Farm Equipment, then two years ago opened a branch of the Becker's chain of convenience stores in Seaforth. He was acclaimed to Seaforth council in 1985, after becoming interested in town affairs. Mr. Osborn now sits on the transportation and environment committee, the Seaforth Hospital board and Van Egmond foundation. One of his goals while on council is to educate the people of Seaforth about the town. He and his wife Barb have one child. Carolanne Doig joined council in 1984, after another of the councillors vacated his seat. At that time she was active in the land- fill issue and had become immersed in the workings of government - on both the local and provincial level. She felt she could make a positive contribution. By the time the term was up Miss Doig said she was starting to feel comfortable with being on council and decided to stay another term, if possible. She retained her position as councillor by favor of acclamation. One of Miss Doig's primary objectives is to see an end to the landfill dilemna and to see Seaforth maintain a more stable Main Street.,,She said Seaforth has a lot to offer, and the town needs to ensure it stays intact. Bob Dinsmore has been anuneber of coun- cil for 11 years, although not consecutively. He sat out for the 1982-85 term after failing to capture .the mayor's seat. Professing a great interest in politics, Mr. Dinsmore recently received his AMCT cer- tificate which gives him the qualifications of a town clerk. He enjoys his position on coun- cil since it gives him the opportunity to talk to people and to get involved in the community. As a councillor he would like to see Seaforth keeps its administrative costs down while at the same time continuing to provide the services it is supplying now. Mr. Dinsmore is council's representative on the recreation comittee and He is married to Shirley, has three children, two foster children and four grandchildren. Bill McLaughlin, owner and operator of the McLaughlin Chevrolet -Oldsmobile auto dealership in town, was attracted to council in 1985. At that time he said he felt taxes were too high and Seaforth should do something to remedy the situation. One of his concerns then was to see more industry brought into town. He also wanted the town to make more efficient use of its resources, and streamline its operations through the elimination of unnecessary meetings and other expenses. His other area of interest Is Main Street and Mr. McLaughlin said he would like the town to make more of an ef- fort to get people to shop locally. Mr. McLaughlin is the father of two children, and has been active in the com- munity in both the sports arena and through the set -vice clubs.
