North Huron welcomes Ladner at council meeting
A new dawn
It was the dawn of a new era Monday night as North Huron Council officially introduced Ryan
Ladner, second from right, to the community as the new chief of the Fire Department of North
Huron and the head of the Emergency Services Training Centre in Blyth. Outgoing Fire Chief
David Sparling, right, has blessed the hire and thinks Ladner will do a great job. From left:

"Around the World in Song" is the
of two Blyth Festival Singers
concerts that will incorporate a
sesquicentennial theme this year.
The popular dinner cabaret concert
and auction is also coming up on
Saturday, May 27 at the Stanley
Township Hall. Entitled "Huron
Shores and Beyond" it will feature
guest musicians who will bring an
eclectic blend of acoustic folk,
bluegrass, celtic and country to the
Canada celebrations!
The Blyth Festival Singers is a
mixed community choir under the
professional direction of Sharon
Poelstra with Jill Wright as
accompanist. Choir members come
from all areas of Huron County and
have worked to develop a high
standard of performance in various
repertoires, under the umbrella of
the Blyth Centre for the Arts.
The sky's the limit
At the annual Brussels Optimists' spring dinner and auction,
tables of guests were challenged to build the tallest
wooden -stick -and -marshmallow structure and it was Doug
Koch, left, and Neil Warwick, centre, who would prevail.
Optimist Tyler Deitner did the measuring to ensure their
victory was legitimate. (Vicky Bremner photo)

redefined by North Huron. This will
allow the new fire chief additional
time to focus on the fire department
and the ESTC.
"Under Chief Sparling's
leadership, the Fire Department of
North Huron (FDNH) has become
one of the most respected fire
services in Ontario and it is my goal
to continue with this success,"
Ladner said in the same press
release. "I am honoured to accept
this position and look forward to
working with and supporting the
volunteer firefighters that proudly
serve the community."
Sparling said North Huron made
the right choice in using former Fire
Chief Phil Eagleson as a consultant
on the hiring process and that he felt
Ladner was the right choice for the
position.
Sparling said he has had a great
three -and -a -half years as chief and
enjoyed working with North Huron
council, its partner municipalities
and, most of all, his fellow
firefighters.
"I'm fortunate to have outstanding
people underneath me," he said. "It's
been a really rewarding three -and -a -
half years"
Sparling said he would be "next
door" to Ladner, speaking about his
plans to work for the Blyth Cowbell
Brewing Company, and said he
would be available for help if it was
necessary.
