JOHN JEWITT In 1980 I decided to seek election to the Huron County Board of Education. Having served on Hullett township council for 13 years, four years of which 1 was reeve, 1 became aware of the criticism many people. including my- self. had of the education. system. 1 felt that 1 could contribute some of the com- mon sense approach which 1 feel is present in municipal government in our area. Being the father of five children, four of whom 'were receiving their education at that time, one in public school one . in high school, one at. college and one at university. I felt, 1 was qualified as a concerned parent. As a result of placing my name to stand for office 1 received an acclamation to the position of trustee repre- senting Seaforth, McKillop and Hullett. During, the last two years I have attempted to fulfill this positiorf in a. competent manner, Also I have expressed my views on the necessity of restraint in our spen 'ing. 1 have stated that any cuts in our education program must not be directed at our basic subjects such as maths', sciences, English. In discussions with ratepayers in our area I feel many people share these same concerns. I would suggest that I have the confidence of t e other trustees and the adm stra- tion. This has enabled me to solve many problems the ratepayers have had, in an biin LEO KKROONEN of Raglan Street. Dublin is running for Hibbert council. 1 have -un for this office for the past two .terms but unfortunately it was without success. I have farmed in Hibbert Township for the past 30 ° years. In 1960 we started a farm supply retail under the title of Lim Bent Farm Supply and now in 1982 we have` expanded to a new facility on Highway 8. east of Dublin. I am married with three grown children and consider that I now have the time to devote to an office of this nature. For 20 years 1 have repre- sented Hibbert at the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board, one term as commit- tee man on the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, six years on the Perth County Safety • Council. Township Director for the past eight years of the Federation of Agriculture and prior to that the county director of O.F.U. We belong to St. Patrick's Church of Dublin. If elected. 1 would like to see expenditures kept at their present level and if the depressed economy contin- ues, to introduce roll backs. 1 would like to see less red tape and have more communica- tion between ratepayers and council. James Paratchek Running' for his first term as a trustee for the Village of Dublin is James Paratchek. Residing on Mill Street in Dubli with his wife, Donna and thirtwochildren.Bever- ley and Gregory. Jim has owned his own maintenance business in the area for the past five years. He has been very active in'the community in the past ,as a Charter Member of the Dublin Lions Club and an advisor to the Dublin Leo Club. As a Canadian citizen, Jim says he wishes to serve his community of Dublin and the people therein. He is very proud to be a candidate for this position and if elected will find this a new and challenging experience. TOM SCHOONDER- WOERD is running for the position of councillor in Hib- bert for the first time. Spend- ing restraint is the main issue in his campaign. He feels that the new council will have to be careful with the way it spends ratepayers' tax dol- lars. It is his opinion that it is time for new faces and ideas to be brought to council. although he acknowledges the fine work done by pre- vious council members. Thor does not believe in making election promises, but is willing to look at individual issues as they arise in council. He would like to assure the residents of Hib- bert that he will be vocal on issues concerning tatepay- crs. efficient way. 1 thank you for the oppor- tunity to serve you for the last two years and if elected will work to the best of my ability. FRANKLIN M. FALCONER . I chose to run for the Huron County Board of Education because 1 have served one term on this board. l also have 11 years of experience as a councillor in Tuckersmith. I " still like to be with people and attend meetings. All issues .are important with the Huron Countv Board of Education, Salaries, teach- ers, bus services, harmony with all the employees and the mill rate. 1 have been a farmer in Tuckersmith Township for 34 years along with my wife, (Eleanor; we have four daugh- ters, (Janet, Joyce. June. Jean), all married and one son Leslie, at home. 1 am a past president of Huron Central Agricultural Society; past presidednt of Huron -Perth Shorthgrn Club; past master Loyal Orange Lodge for South Huron; Se.ifor DAVE DEVRIES 1 • am Dave Devries. 33 years of age. 'I am married. My wife Marlene is a R.N.A. at Seaforth Community Hos- pital. We have a son bprn last. March. We reside at 63 Gouinlock Street in town. I am a member of Sea Birt fire Dept. and am owner-operaator of Seaforth 'Contract Clean- ing, a small janitorial busi- ness. This is my third attempt at council. , Being a young family man, 1 feel) am able to represent the average family in Sea - forth. 1 would like to see the unique character of our main street preserved as well as being an excellent retirement community, 1 would like to see Seafortlf in a position to attract industry. However, the main pur- pose in the immediate future is to try to continue the existing services and pro- grams without having to increase taxes. 'We all are affected by the economy. 1 feel that the street recon- struction program is impor- tant, as we all benefit from it. 1 would like 'to see Seaforth prosper fpr my son's genera- tion, just as someone did for ours. Unfortunately, time does not permit me to canvass door to door as others are doing. 1 will be circulating flyers through the mail. Please read them before destroying them. If elected 1 will do my best to look after our mutual intet't ests in our community. 1 humbly ask for your vote on Nov. 8. Grey CHRIS LEE My name is Chris Lee and t am a candidate for the posi- tion of deputy reeve of Grey Township in our municipal elections this Monday. No- vember 8. While this is a particularly hectic season of the year 1 encourage you to both participate in the elec- toral process and to support me in my bid for deputy - reeve. 1 hope you can find time for both. I reside near Walton with my wife and two children. We farm 300 acres which sup- ports a dairy and a farm equipment supply and cus• tom work business, As a result of being ' ex- posed to a variety of farm situations across a large area I have become increasingly concerned with' the lack of effective leadership exhibited in rural communities which seems to be propelling rather than arresting the gradual deterioration of the tradition- ally cooperative social nature of rural life. At the same time excessive governmental meddling and interference in the market place has resulted in the stagnation of the entrepre- neurial drives which have brought us to our present state of development. While most may feel that social and economic issues are too generalized for con- sideration in municipal poli- tics, I beg to differ. For those who feel these issues are beyond the influence of mun- icipal decisions 1 suggest reconsideration. 1 personally feel that the blame for most of our prob- lems lies much closer to home than most of us would like to admit. and 1 believe that municipal council can effec- tively stimulate and enhance the environment in which many of these challenges may be met and overcome. 1 ask for your support in helping create such a council. I would be glad to answer any enquiries if you wish to call 887•9378 or 887-6735. Morris DOUGLAS FRASER Douglas Fraser of RR2.

SAM PLETCH I feel there should be more communications between the council and the ratepayers. It's my belief that the public is not aware of the wide range of problems and decisions the council handles. In my opinion. the main issue facing not only the council but also the ratepay• ers this year is the economy. There will have to be adjust • ments and probably cut backs. How do you determine what is to be done? This is where 1 truly believe the communication between council and ratepayers is vitally necessary. I am a farmer in Morris township and have served on council before. My wife Thelma and 1 have raised six children. It's a good place to live and we hope to see our grandchildren grow up here also.
