THE EDITOR,
I would like to comment on the
Bill Knott Letter to the Editor from
June 11. My wife and I moved to
North Huron (Belgrave) a couple of
years ago. We like the area, but
specifically avoided Wingham due
to its high tax rate. Living in a rural
or semi-rural area is a choice, and,
along with that choice, is the fact
that there are limitations to the
services available – policing being
one.
Comparing the cost of the existing
OPP agreement with Blyth and East
Wawanosh Wards and the costs of
expanding the Wingham Police
Services (WPS) into those wards, is
like comparing apples to rocks as
Mr. Knott explained.
To be fair to all parties, residents
included, the comparison should be
between service of the township as a
whole by both the OPP and WPS.
Whatever the outcome of the
investigation is, an open discussion
with the ratepayers should be held,
especially in advance of any
implementation if the costs for one
area increases, to the benefit of
another.
As for the comment that a couple
of extra officers and a cruiser will
make the community more attractive
to potential new residents, lowering
North Huron’s current tax rate
would do that.
Sincerely,
J. Brown.

Collision with deer claims passenger, closes road
A section of Huron County Road 4
between Summerhill Road and
Winthrop Road was closed off on
June 24 as a fatal accident
was investigated and cleared off the
road.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP),
the Central Huron Fire Department
and Huron County Emergency
Medical Services responded to the
crash just after 3:30 a.m.
According to OPP, a Nissan Quest
minivan was travelling southbound
on County Road 4 when the vehicle
collided with a deer causing the
driver to lose control of the vehicle,
veer off the roadway and come to
rest on its wheels in a shallow creek.
Of the five male occupants of the
vehicle, Errol Brown of London,
who was in the third row of
passenger seating in the
vehicle, died as a result of the
collision.
The other four occupants,
including the driver, were also from
London and were transported to
hospitals with non-life threatening
or minor injuries.
The road was re-opened the
afternoon of the incident.
Anyone with information about
the collision should contact Huron
OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
Fatal collision
One person is dead and several others were injured after a Nissan Quest mini-van hit a deer
and veered off the road into a ditch on June 24. One passenger died as a result of his injuries
while the other four were admitted to hospital with varying degrees of non-life threatening
injuries. (Denny Scott photo)
Bad luck
The Blyth Legion’s Elimination Draw was held on Saturday and, unfortunately for her, just after
spelling her name out for The Citizen, Elaine Fraser, left, drew her own ticket on a non-winning
square. Eerily, her ticket number (36) also matched her place in the order of tickets drawn. It
was up to Legion President Ric McBurney, right, to put the tickets on the board. (Denny Scott
