www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday August 24, 2007 - 13 Zemlak wins Halton Liberal nomination By Dennis Smith SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Gary Zemlak says he'll re-focus his campaign now after winning the Halton Provincial Liberal nomination on Tuesday night. The Milton entrepreneur won the nomination by a narrow margin over CFRB 1010 radio host Christina Cherneskey. Cherneskey, of Mississauga, conceded following a recount at the nomination meeting, held at Tansley Woods Community Centre in Burlington. Zemlak says he feels confident going up against Progressive Conservative incumbent Ted Chudleigh in the provincial election on Wednesday, Oct. 10. But he's not giving interviews about issues or the Liberal government's record for a little while. "Right now, the reality is just sinking in," he said Wednesday. "I don't have anything to say yet, there are local issues and there are millions of them. The shock has to settle out. I'm numb from what has happened." He said the focus until now has been getting members for the nomination meeting. "We're going through phases and now we have to get our heads wrapped around what the party wants," said Zemlak. "The campaign needs time." The candidate said he has knocked on a lot of doors and listened to a lot of people. "We're going to have to put our minds on focusing on their concerns," he said. Zemlak has resided in Halton Region for 15 years and is a longtime local Liberal party member. He was president of the Halton Provincial Liberal Riding Association from 2005 until earlier this year and has also been a director of the Halton Federal Liberal Riding Association. Zemlak founded and runs Tykris Inc., which focuses on the design, development, manufacture and distribution of highly sophisticated assistive devices to help persons with severe disabilities. He is married with two grown children.
