For the first time in The Citizen’s
history, the area had two nominees
for Junior Citizen of the Year.
The first was Teaghan Coultes, a
10-year-old student at East
Wawanosh Public School whose
goal was “to make others happy”
and the second was Brussels resident
Brianne Wheeler, who had recently
spent two weeks working at an
orphanage in Kenya.
Blyth’s Janice Henry was
presented with the Legion Ladies
Auxiliary’s highest honour, the
Meritorious Service Award. Both her
mother and sister had received the
award in the past.
Firefighters from Clinton,
Goderich and Seaforth spent the
better part of a day battling a blaze at
the Salvation Army Thrift Store in
Clinton. No casualties were
reported, but the store sustained
extensive damage.
Despite frigid temperatures, there
had been little snowfall and many
area snowmobile trails were closed
due to the lack of snow.
Huron-Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell
was added to the provincial cabinet
by Ontario Premier Dalton
McGuinty, who named Mitchell
Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs.
The Belgrave Kinsmen celebratedthe completion of their arena floorproject at the Belgrave CommunityCentre. The Kinsmen had been
working on the project and raising
funds for months. The floor was then
complete and the ice was ready for
skating.
Londesborough-area farmer
Harvey Hoggart stepped down as the
president of the Huron County Beef
Producers, passing the position onto
Matt McCall.
The North Perth-Huron East
Accommodation Review Committee
(ARC) had been charged with the
potential closure of Brussels and
Grey Central Public Schools by the
Avon Maitland District School
Board (AMDSB).
Blyth’s Justin Peters played in his
first NHL game for the Carolina
Hurricanes, making 34 saves and
beating the New York Islanders by a
score of 3-1. Peters was the first star
of the game.
Peters fought back tears in his
post-game interview, saying that his
family being at the game was “pretty
special”.
The North Perth-Huron East ARC
was left with three options at a
meeting held at Eastdale Public
School.
The Huron Pioneer Thresher andHobby Association won the BestCultural Event/Organization Awardat the first annual Huron Cultural
Awards, which were held in Blyth.
Chris and Ronald Ward were
charged in the death of Wingham’s
Scott Hayes. Hayes was found in a
Wingham parking lot and at the
time, the cause of death was
undetermined.
Students in the Grade 1, 2 and 3
classes at Brussels Public School
celebrated their 100th day of school
by collecting 100 cans of food for
the Salvation Army in Clinton.
A fire made its way through the
Blyth Corner Café, destroying much
of the interior of the restaurant, but
North Huron firefighters were able
to contain the blaze before it could
spread to any adjacent buildings.
Wingham OPP officer Vu Pham
was shot and killed in a gunfight just
north of Winthrop.
The incident occurred when Pham
attempted to stop a truck when the
driver exited his vehicle and began
shooting at Pham with a hunting
rifle.
Eyewitnesses said there were as
many as 20 shots fired between the
suspect and other responding
officers.
The North Perth-Huron East ARCapproved two options, the majorityreport and the minority report at ameeting at Elma Township Public
School.
Both Central Huron and Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh Council received
the updated figures for fire service
from the North Huron Fire
Department and began to question
the costs.
Neither council made a decision,
but both were considering other
options at the time.
A funeral for Pham at the North
Huron Wescast Community
Complex was attended by thousands
of uniformed police officers, in
addition to OPP commissioner
Julian Fantino and Ontario Premier
Dalton McGuinty.
The Blyth-Hullett Landfill was
slated for closure on May 1 for as
long as two years.
A Belgrave church group
collected over 150 teddy bears to be
sent to Haiti as part of the
earthquake relief effort. Forty of the
bears were collected by the Grade
3/4 class at East Wawanosh Public
School alone.
The 2009 “Sunshine List” (a list of
public servants making over
$100,000 per year) was released
with 74 AMDSB employees listed.Topping the board’s list wasdirector of education Chuck Reid at$176,022.
Also on the list were 27
employees of the Huron Perth
Healthcare Alliance, including CEO
Andrew Williams, who made
$304,912 in 2009.
The AMDSB made the
recommendation that Brussels
Public School be expanded with a
four-classroom addition, but
converted into a K-6 facility under
the proposal with Grade 7 and 8
students being implemented into the
F.E. Madill Secondary School
campus.
After a discussion with local
insurance partner Rick Elliott, it was
determined that due to fire coverage
concerns, insurance rates in outlying
areas such as Hullett and Auburn
could skyrocket.
The Emergency Services Training
Centre, just south of Blyth, received
$1.5 million in funding from the
provincial and federal governments.
The funds would go towards
upgrades and expansion.
The Blyth Festival received a
Trillium grant to upgrade its
