VR s e ko d Tds Te io o Reform candidate never told association about resignation By ROB KELLY Special to the Beaver he Oakvilleâ€"Milton Reform â€" Party said former candidate Dr. Allan Somersall resigned "for personal reasons" because they couldn‘t contact the Mississaugaâ€" based physician to flesh out any other rationale, replacement candidate Richard Malboeuf said Monday. Asked if he felt the matter was glossed over in the resignation announcement, Malboeuf replied, "yes", and said that perspective came from ©20â€"20 hindsight". "It would have been better not to say anything, but we felt we had to say something." Somersall has said he resigned because morale suffered in the riding after a split developed with national headquarters in Calgary over whether or not Toronto‘s David Andrus should Town hands out sober kits The Town‘s Special Committee Against Impaired Driving have begun a unique promotional camâ€" paign.

Several of the then riding execuâ€" tives, who quit over the dispute â€" wanted Andrus while Calgary did not â€" Somersall said. The former candiâ€" date said he felt morale was scuttled when Calgary warned headquarters would abandon Oakvilleâ€"Milton if Andrus was involved. Malboeuf said Somersall resigned to the party executive in Calgary, not to the local riding association, and although party members knew trouble was simmering,; they were operating in a vacuum once the resignation was set in motion. Regarding Somersall‘s actual resâ€" ignation correspondence, "We had no idea what was in the letter," Malboeuf said. "We tried to contact Allan on several occasions. He never returned our calls. We still have not heard from him." Malboeuf, who served on the local riding executive for a time and was second to Somersall in last September‘s nomination contest said, s . y3 e > . 3 3 ) 3070 MAINWAY DRIVE (at Gueiph Line) UNIT #2 NEC BURLINGTON, ONTARIO L7M 1Â¥1 Fax: (416) 332â€"8145 ALR 486 DXâ€"33MHz 128 K CACHE _ 245 14" .28mm SVGA NONâ€"INTERLACED ©‘375 486 DX/2â€"66MHz +« Real Time Clock with Battery Backâ€"up + AMI Bios "I knew there were other things behind it. But I can‘t put in (the release) what I think happened. I‘m not going to speak for Allan." The controversy also saw riding president Rita Bucher resign and call for a petition against Malboeutf‘s acclamation to succeed Somersall. "For the past three weeks, we‘ve been doing damage control," Malboeuf acknowledged, "when we would have rather been preparing for the camâ€" paign." In terms of healing wounds with those who are angry about Somersall‘s resignation or Malboeut‘s subsequent ascension without another nomination meeting, "We‘ve offered olive branches," the new candidate said. "But no matter what nomination process is used, some people will feel disenfranchised." * Of the four executive committee members who resigned â€" Bucher, treasurer Harold Albrecht, viceâ€"presiâ€" 7. +4 B t O dent Greg Robinson and riding secreâ€" % tary Linda McDonald â€" all but < McDonald still sit on the almost 30 C strong Oakvilleâ€"Milton board of C directors, Malboeuf pointed out. m As far as their continued participaâ€" 2 tion in area Reform direction, "we‘ll % see" if that is workable, the candidate 4 said.

Somersall‘s resâ€" S ignation did not cause the federal deficit to go to $490â€"billion." The matter "has been blown up way out of proportion," he continued. "It happened. Oakvilleâ€"Milton has to deal with it. Everybody admits we‘re going through growing pains. As to how the political game is to be played â€"we‘re still learning that. As I said, with 20â€"20 hindsight, it should have been handled differently." d nf ‘A P t o e o t e o ho s e im n ul nore * Any age, any time * No registration fee Popular styles ___COMPUTERS â€" SOFTWARE â€" SALES â€" SERVICE __ S$AMicrosoft.
