With a renewal for the contract
that North Huron has with Huron
Tractor for the large Blyth sign
coming up, councillors are
questioning the amount spent for
the sign.
North Huron pays a yearly fee of
$325 for the right to have the sign,
which some councillors felt was
too expensive.
With the renewal upcoming,
Chief Administrative Officer Gary
Long stated he would advise
council as to when the contract can
be discussed.

North Huron township has
agreed to place a plaque at the
Wingham Cenotaph for Matthew
Dinning, a local soldier who was
killed in Afghanistan.
As the township owns the
cenotaph, they made the decision,
but decided to talk to the Wingham
Legion as a courtesy to the group.
The decision came as a result of
a letter included in their Jan. 17
council package from Dinning’s
family requesting the honour.
Plaques are put on the cenotaph
by request of the family.

North Huron Township has been
assigned a new planner from the
Huron County Planning
Department: Sally McMullen, and
her first task was to present a
consent application for Bonnie
Brak to council on Jan. 17, who are
building a senior’s housing
complex on Gypsy Lane in Blyth.
Unlike previous applications, the
consent went through without
contestation, which McMullen
believes is due to the conflict
surrounding the project in the past.
“There were no objections raised
when we circulated the consent
application to those within 60
metres of the site,” she said. “I
suspect that is due to thorough
process the zoning bylaw
amendment went through.”
Council passed the consent
application.
Provisional bylaws for two
Morris ward drains were approved
at the Feb. 1 meeting of Morris-
Turnberry council.
Reports to the McDonald and
Mustard Drains were presented by
Bill Dietrich of Dietrich
Engineering Limited. Two
landowners were present for the
McDonald report and only Mayor
Paul Gowing, who stepped down
from the chair because he’s a
landowner involved in the Mustard
Drain, was present for that report.
Dietrich said the McDonald
Drain, which dates from 1949, will
be replaced by a much larger-
diameter tile.
“The drainage in the old drain
was quite inadequate by today’s
standards,” Dietrich said.
Cost of the replacement of the
main part of the drain is estimated
at $112,500 while replacement of
Branch A will cost $9,800.
The Mustard Drain dates from
1924 though it was extended in
1956. Again the drain will be
replaced with large tile while an
open portion of the drain will be
cleaned out.
The estimated cost of the
improvements to the underground
drain is $185,900 while it’s
estimated cleanout of the open
drain will cost $34,400.
Court of revision for both drains
will be held at the March 8 council
meeting. Tenders will be called to
be opened the previous day.

Locals caught driving drunk
On Feb. 4 at approximately 3:30
p.m. an OPP officer initiated a traffic
stop after observing a driver not
wearing his seatbelt on Jordan
Drive in Morris-Turnberry
Township.
Upon speaking to the driver, the
officer suspected that the driver had
alcohol in his system so he read a
demand for the driver to provide a
roadside sample of his breath. The
driver complied and failed his test.
He was then arrested for driving
with over 80 milligrams of alcohol
in 100 millilitres of blood.
The driver was transported to the
Huron OPP Detachment where he
met with a qualified intoxilizer
technician to provide two more
samples of his breath. The readings
confirmed that the driver had a blood
alcohol level that was above the
legal limit of 80 milligrams.
As a result of the traffic stop and
investigation, Bert Sanders, 56, of
Belgrave has been charged with one
count of Drive With Over 80
Milligrams of Alcohol and one count
of Fail to Wear Seatbelt. He will
answer to his charges in the Ontario
Court of Justice in Wingham on
April 21.
His vehicle was impounded for
seven days as per statute.
Goderich driver arrested in CH
On Feb. 5 a Huron OPP officer
was conducting radar patrols on
Base Line when a speeding vehicle
entered the radar. The vehicle was
stopped by the officer and upon
speaking to the driver, the officer not
only detected the odour of an
alcoholic beverage coming from the
driver, he also observed a bottle of
liquor on the floor behind the
passenger seat. The officer formed
the necessary grounds to read the
demand for the driver to provide a
roadside sample of his breath. The
driver eventually complied and
failed his test.
The driver was arrested and taken
to the Huron OPP Detachment
where he met with a qualified
intoxilizer technician to provide two
more samples of his breath. The
readings confirmed that the driver
had a blood alcohol level in excess
of the legal limit of 80 milligrams.
As a result of the stop, Roger
Archambault, age 66, of Goderich
has been charged with one count of
Drive With Over 80 Milligrams of
Alcohol. He will answer to his
charge in the Ontario Court of
Justice in Goderich on March 21.
The vehicle he was operating was
towed and impounded for a period
of seven days as per statute.
Impaired driver flees OPP
On Feb. 5 at approximately 10:30
p.m. a Huron OPP officer was on
patrol in Seaforth when a pickup
truck with a burnt out headlight
caught the officer’s attention. The
officer activated his emergency
lights and attempted to stop the truck
but initially the driver failed to
stop.
The driver did stop his vehicle but
then fled on foot into a field where
he was apprehended by the officer.
Upon speaking to the driver, who
was now under arrest for fleeing
from the police, the officer detected
a strong odour of an alcoholic
beverage coming from the driver in
addition to other signs of being
impaired by alcohol. The male was
escorted back to the cruiser and also
arrested for Impaired Driving. A
search of his vehicle turned up
alcohol.
The driver was taken to the Exeter
OPP Detachment where he met with
a qualified intoxilizer technician to
provide two samples of his breath.
Both samples confirmed that he had
a blood alcohol level in excess of the
legal limit of 80 milligrams.
As a result of the traffic stop, 19-
year-old Brandon McGavin of
Walton has been charged with one
count of Impaired Driving, one
count of Drive With Over 80
Milligrams of Alcohol and one count
of Flight from Police.
He will answer to his charges in
the Ontario Court of Justice in
Goderich on March 28. His driver’s
licence has been suspended for 90
days and the vehicle he was
operating has been towed and
impounded for seven days.
Cell phone stop leads to arrest
On Feb. 6 at approximately 4:30
p.m., two Huron OPP officers were
patrolling on Bluewater Highway
when they observed a driver talking
on a cell phone. The officers
initiated a traffic stop and while
speaking to the driver, they observed
empty liquor bottles inside the
vehicle. A subsequent search of the
vehicle led to a bag of suspected
marijuana being located under the
driver’s seat.
The driver was subsequently
arrested for Possession of a
Controlled Substance. Due to
extenuating circumstances, the
driver was held in police custody
for a bail hearing in the Ontario
Court of Justice in Goderich on Feb.
7.
Forty-one-year-old Dean Dobson
of Central Huron is facing one count
of Possession of a Controlled
Substance, one count of Breach
Probation and one count of Drive
Motor Vehicle Using Handheld
Device.
