The Hayden farm will feature
prominently during the event and,
given that the family has been in
cash crops since a devastating fire
destroyed their livestock operation
several years ago, the land is perfect
for the competition.
This will be the first competition
in the collective memory that will be
held outside the home municipality
of the Warden of Huron County.
Morris-Turnberry Mayor and
Warden Paul Gowing is the first to
be elected under the new two-year
term of Warden. The match will be
held in Morris-Turnberry next year.

Match section on northhuron.on.ca

The Alarmed for Life campaign
began in Morris-Turnberry this
week. In many ways, the program,
which has firefighters visiting
homes to inspect, replace or place
smoke detectors, was a success last
year. However, it has also shown
that there is room for continued fire
safety improvement.
The Fire Department of North
Huron over the next few weeks,
will be going door to door through
parts of Morris-Turnberry. The
goal is to bring homes into
compliance with the Ontario Fire
Code, and to increase fire safety
within the Municipality of Morris-
Turnberry.
“We are starting this campaign
with approximately 500 smoke
alarms to install within homes in
Morris-Turnberry“ explained Fire
Prevention Officer James Marshall.
“We hope to find more homes
compliant this year, we were
disappointed to see that only 11 per
cent of home were up to Fire Code
Standards last year.”
When asked what fire personnel
are looking for during these
voluntary home inspections
Marshall said, “Property owners are
required to have a smoke alarm on
every storey and outside each
sleeping area,” he said. “Make sure
that you have functioning alarms
which are no older than 10 years.
We will also be checking that any
property with an attached garage,
fireplace or fuel fire appliance has
carbon monoxide alarms installed as
per the Fire Code.”
This Alarmed for Life campaign
will continue over the next several
years.
“There are many residents who
want to know when and where we
will be attending each year, the
logistics and limited supplies offer
some restrictions,” explained
Marshall. “The long and short of it
is, just like a house fire an inspection
could happen anywhere, any time in
Morris-Turnberry. Be prepared, and
be proactive, have your home
compliant before we inspect.”
Fire Department of North Huron
Fire Chief David Sparling reminded
residents this is a voluntary
inspection that allows an amnesty
for residents to have their property
inspected without having smoke
alarm charges laid if they are not
compliant.
The door-to-door campaign will
last as long as there are smoke
alarms to install. There will also
be carbon monoxide alarms
available for installation but their
costs will be covered by the
homeowners.
“You have approximately 2:45
minutes to get out alive in the case
of a house fire,” Sparling said. “In
having these alarms installed
properly in your home you are
giving your family time to get out
alive. It just makes sense, even if it
wasn’t the law.”

Lifetime celebration
At the second annual National Cenotaph Day held by the
Blyth Legion late last month, the Branch honoured two of its
most dedicated members with lifetime memberships at the
ceremony held in front of Blyth Memorial Hall. Above,
Thelma Johnston and below, Donna Govier, were both
honoured with the prestigious documents by Branch
President Ric McBurney, who detailed the tireless efforts of
both women over the course of decades of involvement with
the Legion. (Shawn Loughlin photos)
