Reeve Douglas Jackson has served as reeve of that council for the past four years, and when asked if he in- tended to run again replied, "all things being equal, I intend to run."'

Jim Eplett has been on the council before serving six years, then staying out of it for four years. His last term spanned the years 1979 and 1980.

Counsellor Bev Juneau says that, "'It'sa good question, I'm thinking about it all the time', adding, "as far as I know, lam." She views the term as a learning experience and hopes to learn a lot more should she decide to run.

She had two small children of her own. When the friend's child went to live with an aunt, she applied to teach, and was not successful, although other teachers were hired.
