Mary Novak chosen to lead Liberals into next election battle By David Stell Port Perry Star The next provincial election could be called any day now and when it happens Clarington Councillor Mary Novak will be the Liberal candidate for the rid- ing of Durham East. She earned that right Saturday night at Bowmanville High School when 428 members of the Durham East Liberal rid- ing Association gathered to nom- inate their representative. Mrs. Novak will run against another Clarington Councillor, John O'Toole, of the Progressive Conservative's and the riding's current MPP, Gord Mills, of the NDP. The new candidate has a tough task ahead of her, as she attempts to be the first 'Liberal candidate elected in the riding of Durham East in 60 years. Mrs. Novak was asked about the past pointe of Liberal candidates fail- to win the riding, but she di n't think there was any one reason to explain it. "I think it's a combination of reasons, but those reasons are gone completely," Mrs. Novak said. "There's no reason right now that we won't win, and we will win." She was confident she would be selected to carry the party of her back- ground 'in politics and she said that hard work was the key to her victory. She has one main - goal in mind to prepare for a pro- vincial election. "I want all the Liberals to pull + together, put together a dynam- ite team," she said. "We're going to have a Liberal win the Durham East riding." Dave Robinson, Douglas Bird and George Khouri were also seeking the nomination for Durham East. Mr. Bird, a Bowmanville ambulance worker talked about the need for someone who could Mr. Khouri, a Whitby furni- ture store owner, offered a por- tion of his speech in French and he was very confident that he would win the candidacy. Mr. Robinson, a High School teacher from Port Perry, is also the executive vice president of the Durham East Liberals. He has previous experience cam- paigning as a Liberal nominee after running against Alex Shepherd for the federal Liberal candidacy prior to the last feder- al election. Saturday night Mr. Robinson talked about Mrs, Novak's cam- paign for the candidacy. "Mary did a very good job i in getting her vote turn out," he said. "She worked. hard, she deserves to win." : He was also asked about the Liberals inability to win the Durham East riding at the pro- vincial level. "Last year's Federal election with the election of Alex Shepherd proved that people are - willing to listen to the platform, policies and issues," he said. "They no longer just vote some way because that's how they've always voted." The voting process used Saturday was a preferential bal- lot system which asked mem- 'bers to list a number beside each candidate's name. Their 'first choice was to be listed as number one, their second choice as two, third choice as number three and forth choice as number four. If no candidate takes a majori- ty of first place votes when they are tallied, the candidate with the least amount of first place votes is dropped from the list. The second choice on each of these ballots becomes their first choice and is then added to the remaining candidates tallies. There were three tallies of the votes Saturday night before Mrs. Novak was declared the winner. > Stonemoor hh Centres Inc. 152° Additional Toppings Available OO 000 O00 OOO OOOO OO O00 0000000 ONYOGOINODYOBGBOLOOLOLONEOSLEOGPEOIOG®POOSEG®OSLO WE DELIVER TO THESE AREAS -- Port Perry, Blackstock, Nestleton, Caesarea.
