cases of beer in the vehicle, but that
there were no open containers.
Duncan admitted to consuming
four beers with his last consumption
occurring 45 minutes earlier.
Duncan was then tested at the
roadside, registering a fail after the
officers had tested the machine and
determined that it was working
correctly.
The officers transported Duncan
to Walkerton where he requested a
lawyer and spoke with counsel.
Dowling reported that the two
tests administered to Duncan
registered him as having 134
milligrams of alcohol in 100
millilitres of blood and then 17
minutes later as having 129
milligrams of alcohol in 100
millilitres of blood.
The officers then served Duncan
with a copy of the test results and
gave him a ride home.
After the testimony of the three
officers, Starkman recalled Hardie
to the witness stand, calling into
question the process through which
a copy of the test results were
provided to Duncan.
Starkman questioned whether the
original and the copy were ever
compared and he also compared the
procedure that is to be followed in
regards to the certificate.
After Starkman couldn’t provide
evidence supporting a regulation
regarding the copying of the
certificate, Hunter told the parties to
return on Dec. 8 when the case
would be recalled.
On Dec. 8 the case was recalled
and another lawyer from Starkman’s
office was present, but had not been
adequately prepared to continue the
case, so Hunter moved it to Jan. 19
for a resolution.
On Jan. 19 Duncan’s lawyer made
the case that because the copy and
the original version of the certificate
were never compared, that would
make the evidence inadmissible.
Hunter, however, said that the
bulk of the evidence presented in the
case was not an issue.
He stated the validity of the
certificate could not be brought up at
the end of the case. He also stated
that when it is acknowledged that a
“copy” of the certificate has been
made, it is acknowledged that the
copy is accurate through calling it a
copy.
Hunter called questioning the
certificate’s validity at the end of the
case highly improper and found
Duncan guilty.
Duncan was sentenced to a 12-
month driving prohibition and given
a $1,000 fine, which he has six
months to pay. Duncan’s driving
prohibition may be reduced to six
months if he qualifies for the
Interlock program

Sixteen years in the making, the Brussels Mennonite Fellowship opened a time capsule that
was placed in the church in January of 1996. The church began taking on members in 1980
when the church bought the Matheson house, eventually building on the chapel and the
gymnasium. In January of 1996 the mortgage was paid off and burned by the Fellowship. The
time capsule was to be opened 16 years later, indicating how long it took to pay the mortgage
off. In the coming weeks the church will prepare another time capsule to be opened in 2028.

Blyth arena switches toCoca-Cola machinesWith two 10-year contracts thatare either about to or have recentlyexpired, North Huron Councillorswere presented with the age-olddilemma: Pepsi or Coke?When both the North HuronWescast Community Complex was
built and the Blyth and District
Community Centre was renovated
sizable donations were made by
Coca-Cola Bottling Company
Limited and Pepsi, respectively,
when contracts were signed with
them for beverage distribution
according to Director of
Recreation and Facilities Pat
Newson.
“With these contracts coming up,
we want to go with one contract to
make it easier,” Newson said. “We
went to both suppliers and requested
that they provide us with an offer.”
After reviewing the two offersNewson decided that the pricingfrom Coca-Cola Bottling Companywas better and that their cash rebatesystem was prefered by thedepartment over the product rebateoffered by Pepsi.Newson explained to council thatthe vendor wouldn’t be the onlypossible change with the new
contract.
“We’re switching to a system
where we are provided the machines
and we fill them, we get more
money that way,” she said. “The
beverage machines and canteen
freezers are currently owned by the
distributors so the [Pepsi] machines
in Blyth will be removed.”
Council approved Newson’s
recommendation and, after existing
supplies are sold from the Blyth
centre the Pepsi machines will
be replaced with Coca-Cola
machines.
ACW waives building fee
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
(ACW) Township Council decided
to waive the cost of a building fee
for renovations to the Dungannon
Seniors Centre at their Jan. 10
meeting.
The centre, formerly a
Presbyterian church, has been under
the care of the Dungannon Seniors
since they bought it in 1984. They
report the operating costs are
approximately $12,000 per year
which they cover through rentals
and fundraising as the group is a
non-profit organization.
The group, a non-religious
organization that belongs to the
United Senior Citizens of Ontario, is
planning some minor renovations to
the centre according to Kirk
Livingston the Chief Building
Official for ACW.
“They’re doing really minor
work,” he said. “They’re just taking
down some walls and installing
insulation then replacing the walls.”
Councillor Barry Millian said he
was in favour of supporting this
project as the centre provides a
location for many different
activities. He made a motion to grant
the request made by the Senior
Citizens Centre which was approved
of unanimously by council.
