MASONICh.I.P Child ID Clinic – hosted by Britania Lodge #170, Seaforth
10am to 3 pm www.masonchip.ca
Sponsored by the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Canada in the Province of Ontario, the
MASONICh.I.P Program consists of five major components – digital photographs;
digital video; digital fingerprints; vital child information; and a dental bite impression
or Intra Oral Swab for DNA. The photographs, video, fingerprints, and child data are
burned onto a C.D. that is compatible with Amber Alert. The dental impression
provides a virtual diagram of the child’s biting surface, which, like fingerprints, are
unique to each individual and further supplies saliva to provide a DNA sample. Com-
bined, this five part process provides a dramatic, time-sensitive recovery tool for
authorities

M-T hears about airport
A delegation from Township of
North Huron got a warm welcome
during a visit to Morris-Turnberry
Council, Oct. 4, to discuss the
Richard W. LeVan airport.
Questions from councillors
stretched the presentation of Pat
Newson, director of recreation and
facilities for North Huron to more
than 40 minutes.
Newson explained that the airport
is owned and operated by North
Huron but is located in Morris-
Turnberry, east of Wingham. Last
year the airport had revenues of
$66,463 and expenses of $88,841,
leaving a deficit of $22,378.
In questioning from councillors
she explained the biggest source of
airport revenue comes from rental of
farmland on the site.
Sale of fuel for aircraft using the
airport provides the second largest
income.
The deficit is small by comparison
to many municipal airports, 85 per
cent of which are not self-sustaining,
she said.
But the airport provides a boost to
the local economy, she argued, with
estimates from $330,000 with a low
level of activity at the airport to $4
million at a higher level.
The airport committee is trying to
recruit a flying school to use the air-
port and is preparing a brochure to
distribute to pilots using airports that
are likely to reduce access for private
plane operators in the next few
years. Guelph, Waterloo or even the
Buttonville airport north of Toronto
are not a great distance away by
plane, Newson said. More use would
increase fuel sales, she said.
With a 4,000-foot-long runway,
the airport can accommodate about
90 per cent of corporate jets, council
was told.
One of the largest expenses is
snow removal and this is perhaps
one place where Morris-Turnberry
could help out if it has equipment
going by the airport that could do
some snow clearing, Newson said.
Snow removal costs used to be
$25,000 a year until North Huron
began doing some of the work itself.
Noting there was no money in the
airport’s budget for capital work this
year, Mayor Paul Gowing asked
Newson about the state of repairs at
the facility. Newson said the runway
is in good shape but some work
needs to be done on the terminal
building.
Newson issued an invitation for
Morris-Turnberry to appoint a coun-
cillor to be part of the airport com-
mittee.
“I think we should look at the
opportunity to have a councillor on
the committee,” said Deputy-Mayor
Jason Breckenridge.
