Munro unable to travel to Ceremony,
daughter travels, receives Nobel Prize
Wingham-area native and Central
Huron resident Alice Munro was
officially awarded the Nobel Prize
for Literature on Dec. 10 in
Stockholm, Sweden. Munro’s
daughter Jenny was in Stockholm on
behalf of her mother to accept the
award.
Munro, 82, declared herself not
well enough to make the trip and
told The Globe and Mail on Tuesday
that she didn’t regret making that
decision.
“Munro writes about what are
usually called ordinary people, but
her intelligence, compassion,
astonishing power of perception
enable her to give their lives a
remarkable dignity,” said the
Permanent Secretary of the Swedish
Academy during a formal ceremony
at the Stockholm Concert Hall. “The
trivial and trite are intertwined with
the amazing and unfathomable, but
never at the cost of contradiction. If
you have never before fantasized
about the strangers you see on a bus,
you begin doing so after reading
Alice Munro.”
As part of the award, Munro has
now been presented with the Nobel
Medal, a diploma and a document
which certifies the $1.2 million
award.
“We send our warmest greetings to
Alice Munro, who was unable to
come to Stockholm. We are glad that
Jenny Munro is here to receive the
prize on behalf of her mother,” said
Professor Carl-Henrik Heldin,
chairman of the board of the Nobel
Foundation.
Alice Munro told The Globe and
Mail she felt the Stockholm
ceremony was “marvellous” and she
was surprised by how extravagant it
was, as she watched from home.
This year’s award winners were
named on Oct. 10. Munro became
just the 13th woman to win the
award.
Her Nobel Prize is joined by the
Man Booker International Prize she
won for her body of work, her two
Scotiabank Giller Prizes for The
Love of a Good Woman and
Runaway, her three Governor
General’s Literary Awards for Dance
of the Happy Shades, Who Do You
Think You Are?and The Progress of
Love, the Commonwealth Writers’
Prize, the Marian Engel Award and
the American National Book Critics
Circle Award.
Munro was honoured locally last
week in a joint celebration at the
Wingham Golf and Curling Club
hosted by the Municipalities of
Central Huron and Morris-
Turnberry and the Township of
North Huron where a group toast
was filmed and sent to Munro on the
day of the ceremony.

Police costs remain a mystery until 2014
It will be well into 2014 before
Central Huron Council finds out the
full cost of its looming contract with
the OPP.
Representatives from the Ontario
Provincial Police’s Huron County
Detachment were at Central Huron
Council’s committee of the whole
meeting on Dec. 10 to answer any
questions council had on the
agreement, which brings with it an
eight per cent increase over last year.
Staff Sergeant Rod Case and
Sergeant Kevin Hummel made the
Central Huron stop as part of their
“magical mystery tour,” which
Hummel said will take them to 14
districts within Ontario.
Case said there are some loud and
clear messages coming back from
municipalities about the cost of the
contract renewals, however, they
won’t have hard numbers until the
new year.
Many municipalities are looking
for offset or mitigation funding, he
told council, as some will see their
costs rise significantly while others
may be reduced.
Those paying less than $300 per
household for policing can expect
that number to go up, while those
paying more than $400 could likely
see their rates reduced, he said.
Central Huron currently pays
about $260 per household with an
additional $90 charge per call. So
what constitutes a billable call? The
question was put to officers by
Councillor Alison Lobb. Case noted
while the current agreement handles
about 80 different categories of calls
coming in to police, the new billing
model contains 354 categories. Of
those, it is expected to be pared
down to 150-175, he said.
Under the new billing model,
Central Huron will also be able to
see how and where policing money
is spent – an issue which has been
discussed at length during regular
council meetings.
The total amount will depend on
the Municipal Property Assessment
Corporation’s survey of households
in the municipality. The more
accurate the reporting, the more
accurate the billing estimate.
Central Huron is looking at a cost
of $1.34 million in its 2014 police
budget.
