------ 50 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 15, 1988 Malcolm tradition continues in Ward 4 The Malcolm tradition will con- tinue on Scugog Township Coun- cil for the next three years. Glenn Malcolm, the 36 year old son of retired municipal politician Lawrence Malcolm, was swept to victory in Ward 4 last night, claiming 647 votes and beating his closest competitor, Jim Mac- Leod, by 272. Malcolm remained straight-faced throughout election night, sitting with his wife Arlene and showing no emotion as he won every sin- gle poll in the ward. In fact, he hardly allowed him- self a smile until the final poll was tallied--and then he grinned ear to ear. "I'm really excited," he told the Star shortly after his win was con- firmed. "I don't want to be con- ceited, but I thought I might win. 500 houses I went to told me they wanted to see me in. And they were people I didn't know--I didn't have time to see people I did know." Malcolm, a father of three, oper- ates a hog farm in North Nestle- ton. There was a "big celebration" planned at that farmhouse election night. "We had a party planned no mat- ter what happened," he said with a smile. "Now, people will just stay longer." ne of his top priorities will be seeing to it that anyone can call him with ideas, questions or con- cerns any time of day or night. "There's a lot of people out here who want some attention." During his canvassing, he claims nobody in Cartwright real- ly cared about a new arena. What they wanted to talk about, he says, is roads, street signs, side- walks and garbage pick-up. He says there isn't a lot of mon- ey to go around for road recon- struction, but he wants to see to it that roads are maintained. Malcolm said he's been thinking about running for election for many years, but wanted to stay out of politics until his father re- tired. It was his wife Arlene who gave him the final push to register as a candidate. She was the first person he thanked in his accep- tance speech. Jim MacLeod, a lifelong resi- dent of Ward 4, gave Malcolm the biggest competition with 375 votes. His campaign stressed the GLENN MALCOLM need for road upgrading, garbage disposal, planning and mainte- nance of parks and recreational are- as. Benny Witteveen came third int he Ward 4 race with 282 votes. Witteveen, a 36 year veteran of General Motors, was concerned with taxes and services. Tom Vanderende, whose cam- paign slogan throughout the race was "Don't Worry, Be Happy," didn't look worried at all on elec- tion night, even though he came last with 135 votes. He sat at the back of the Latcham Centre all night long, most of the time with a smile on his face. SH The Latcham Centre crowd waited anxiously for poll results. Although Allan Goreski won Ward 3 by only 52 votes, there was really no question on election night that he would land a seat on Scugog Council. Goreski won five out of seven polls. His only competition on the Island, James Tower, gave him a close race in a few cases, but two big wins in polls 1A and 3 assured Goreski a victory. When the final results were tal- lied, Goreski had 404 votes while Tower had 352. Ward 3 was the first ward to be declared, and many people in the audience assumed Goreski was gone for the night when he disap- peared from the Latcham Centre the moment the ward was decided. He returned shortly, however, after checking with his campaign workers, and made an acceptance speech. ; He said he felt "good" about the whole campaign, and added, "It was a close race, but I was hop- ping things would turn out all- ~ right. His family was thrilled with his win, ially his father Phil Go- reski who is in Florida. "Dad called me from Florida three times to find out how things were going," he said with a wide smile. Goreski says "things are fairly quiet on the Island right now," so he feels there are no burning is- sues to be dealt with immediately. However, he would like to see some of his new constituents' concerns looked after, including finishing the re-alignment of the 10th concession and giving all the concession roads "names" (such as Fralick's Beach, Sunrise Beach etc.) "That's how most people know them anyways," he said. Goreski has arranged with his family to take over some of his duties at the family-owned marina Island seat won by Allan Goreski business, so he can concentrate on his new job. Tower came close to taking that job for himself, and the longtime Island resident watched the polls closely as they came in at the Latcham Centre. His platform for the election included expanding recreational facilities, resolving sewage problems, improving road conditions and keeping an eye on development and water quality.
