Gowing makes way for Ginn in warden's chair
Changing of the guard
Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn, left, was officially installed as the Huron County Warden for the
2017/2018 term on Nov. 23. Running unopposed, Ginn was acclaimed to the position by his
fellow councillors. Outgoing Warden Paul Gowing, centre, held the Bible as Ginn was sworn
into the position by Chief Administrative Officer Brenda Orchard. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

position of Huron County Warden.
Ginn told councillors and the
dozens of spectators in attendance
that he has a number of priorities for
the county going forward, including
the expansion of broadband internet
infrastructure throughout the county
and supporting the IPM. In fact, he
said, the IPM in Huron County was
one of the driving forces behind his
deciding to put his name forward as
the potential Warden in 2017. He
said he strongly felt a farmer should
be the Warden in a year when Huron
County would host the IPM.
Just ahead of Ginn being
acclaimed to the position, Chief
Administrative Officer Brenda
Orchard praised Gowing for his two
years as warden, the first two-year
term since the duration had been
voted to be changed a number of
years ago.
Orchard said that councillors and
staff both felt immensely supported
under Gowing and that it had been a
joy working with him.
"We've really loved working with
you," Orchard told Gowing.
Gowing then received a standing
ovation from councillors and staff
before handing over the gavel to
Ginn.
Petition prepared,

anyone in a collision at the
crossroads is lucky if they aren't
killed or critically injured.
Knott said he was aware of a
Facebook group that was started last
month that has been espousing the
same issue and hopes that many of
the people who have joined the
group will sign the petition as,
currently, Facebook groups are not a
recognized form of petition for the
township or county.
Once there are enough signatures
on the petition, Knott wants to
present the issue to Huron County
Council himself.
Knott said the petition will be at
several locations throughout Blyth
including Scrimgeour's Food
Market and Stitches with a Twist for
the time being.
2017 IPM committee introduces souvenir truck
The International Plowing Match
and Rural Expo (IPM) is a sought-
after event for a community to host
as it brings with it the opportunity to
generate profits that are donated
back to the community. Selling IPM
2017 souvenirs leading up to the
match goes towards covering the
costs of hosting the match,
ultimately increasing the
opportunity for Huron County to
host a prosperous match.
There are many different
souvenirs from jackets, golf shirts,
sweaters, and hats for youth and
adults. There are also cookbooks,
market bags, aprons, garden stakes
and pins to name just a few.
Selected souvenirs can also be
viewed at The Looking Glass,
Seaforth; Brussels Bulk & Bargains,

For the IPM enthusiast, the most
sought-after item is the collector
truck. The IPM is full of traditions
and commissioning a souvenir truck
is one of them. Of course, Huron
County set an example
commissioning their truck.
For the first time, the IPM
souvenir collector truck is a tri -axle
highway tractor with a tri -axle
livestock trailer with a colourful
decal paying homage to the previous
four matches held in Huron County
on the top of the truck. Previous IPM
collector trucks have showcased a
two -axle highway tractor, two -axle
cargo, grain or tanker trailer with
decals on the sides.
