am Running the town The Port McNicoll junior council was elected last week at the village's public school. By Friday they were already checking out the furniture in the coun- cil chambers. Shown here are, from left to right: Coun- Junior reeve set to change The new reeve of Port MecNicoll is 14-year-old Chris Burns, a man who wants to straighten the village out. Burns was elected, fair and square, last week by 47 of his peers at Port MeNicoll Public School. Every year the school holds elections for its junior village council, a mirror image of the real thing (although the Christmas. . Give a little luxury and a lot of allure. Wrap up something from our lingerie selection. Suggestions for students are a_ tad younger). This year, Burns beat competitors Joe Cascagnette (who took 29 votes) and Alex Klages (with 14). "Td like to do something to make my mark," said Burns, a grade eighter at the school and a veteran junior councillor. When he leaves, he says, cillor Joey Rochon, Deputy-Reeve Laurie Marshall, Reeve Chris Burns, and Councillors Jessica Brown and Jewelle Johnson. he'd like to leave behind a brand new baseball dia- mond at Talbot Park, new sidewalks throughout the village and a roof on the ice skating rink. However, he also has other desires for his term in office. For instance, he and his fellow councillors just can't wait for next year's Portarama parade. That's because they get to ride along with the big time politicians in cars. Last Monday the can- didates gave their speeches and voting was held Fri- day. Three ran for reeve, two for deputy-reeve and 10 ran for councillor. They'll hold their own meetings as well as atten- ding the odd real council meeting, presumably to give advice. Board election delayed The election of the chair- man of the board of the Simcoe County Board of Education was one of the events cancelled last Wednesday because of the first heavy snow fall of the winter. The election of the chair- man and vice-chairman for 1988 was rescheduled for Dec, 1. Trustee Roy Edwards, himself a former chairman, last Thursday said he has not heard of anyone oppos- ing vice-chairman Joan Jensen for the chairman- ship. SCBE tradition is for the chairman to get ex- perience as vice-chairman. Jensen is 'the trustee for Penetanguishene and Tiny Township. Candidates for vice- chairman are Bill Scott of Innisfil and Ken Snelgrove of Allison.
