Call Don or Fred. MLS# 72567 acation propertiesV Wanted Vehicles for sale An RR1, Gorrie man will face sentencing for impaired driving, next month, but is already off the road for three years. Murray Kenneth, Thornton, 45, pled guilty in Wingham’s provincial court, Jan. 17 to one charge of impaired driving and to driving while disqualified. Attorney for the Crown Quinn Ross told Judge R.G.E. Hunter that at 8:25 p.m. on June 30 police patrolling in Howick, saw an ATV pulling a trailer on the road. There is a bylaw in place stating that ATV use is not allowed on township roads. Ross said the cruiser lights were activated and the accused drove the ATV into a field. When police caught up with him they noticed an odour of alcohol. Ross said Thornton told them he had had two beers, but not from the cooler which was strapped to the ATV. Thornton was taken to the detachment for a breathalizer test. The readings were 307 and 304 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood. Defence counsel Mike Donnelly asked that sentencing be postponed to the February court. With the accused having four prior convictions, Hunter imposed the driving prohibition immediately. IMPAIRED A Lucknow man pled guilty to driving while impaired. Ross said that Jerret Nathan Sparks was charged Aug. 18 after Wingham police stopped him at 2:46 a.m. “When police followed him, he made several right turns. There were stop signs at some he never stopped for,” said Ross. The breathalizer readings were 152 and 147 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood. Sparks has no record. He was fined $750 and lost his licence for one year. Hunter gave him six months to pay the fine. CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE Shawn Michael Tedesco of Wingham pled guilty to mischief under $5,000 and to assault. Ross said police were called to a Wingham residence on Sept. 12. The victim said the accused punched him in the head. He also broke a window and upturned some furniture. The 20-year-old had been drinking and “got stupid,” said duty counsel Grant MacKinnon. He has no record. Hunter granted a conditional discharge and placed Tedesco on 12- months probation. He is prohibited from owning weapons for five years. Court newsMan pleads to impaired Jesse Imeson, the young man accused of a triple murder, including those of a Huron County couple, made a video court appearance in Goderich last week. His case has been adjourned to Feb. 29. Imeson faces first-degree murder charges in the deaths of Bill and Helene Regier of Mount Carmel, and Carlos Rivera of LaSalle. Imeson was charged after he sparked a massive eight-day manhunt. It ended July 31, when Imeson was captured without incident in a small Quebec community just across the Ontario border. Imeson's case is going through courts in both Goderich and Windsor, and his next date in Windsor is Jan. 29. Imeson is being held in custody at the Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre in London. The Office of the Fire Marshal and the local fire department are advising homeowners that homes with heat recovery ventilation (HRV) systems manufactured by Venmar Ventilation Inc. may be at risk of fire. The thermal protector in the motors of these systems can fail and pose a potential fire hazard. Certain HRV models produced and installed between 1991 and 2001, and between October 2006 and August 2007, are affected. While Venmar manufactured these models, to date, the affected units were identified with the following brand names: • Venmar Brand • Venmar AVS Brand • Flair Brand • vänEE Brand • Conformax Brand • Carrier, Bryant Brands • Payne • Day & Night • NuTone Brand • Heil Brand • York Brand • Sears Brand • Guardian by Broan Brand • Rheem Brands • Ruud-Protech-Weatherking • Bryant, Carrier Brands (standard model) Homeowners with Venmar HRV systems manufactured and installed during the above periods should immediately turn off and unplug their unit. Homeowners should then contact Venmar at 1-866-441-4645, or at www.venmar.ca, to determine if their unit is affected. Following investigations of two home fires in Burlington in 2006, Venmar is supplying a power plug adaptor to homeowners with affected units. Venmar asks homeowners to install the power plug on the HRV’s power supply cord. The adaptor is intended to cut the power supply to prevent a fire. Venmar has confirmed that about 10 per cent of Ontario homes with affected HRV units have been contacted and provided with power plug adaptors. That leaves over 51,000 Ontario homes at risk of potential fire. Furthermore, independent tests have shown that even with the adaptor installed, when the internal fan motor reaches end of life or a locked rotor condition, homeowners can experience strong electrical or burning smells and smoke conditions in their homes prior to the activation of the plug adaptor. These conditions can continue for extended periods of time. If you have an HRV in your home and you experience strong electrical or burning smells and/or smoke conditions, immediately unplug the unit and call 9-1-1 to have the fire department respond to confirm the source of the smells or smoke. Homeowners are also reminded to install and maintain working smoke alarms on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. It’s the law. For more information contact your fire department. Potential fire hazard due to heat recovery vent systems County council at its Jan. 9 meeting approved salary increases for themselves. The councillor honorarium was raised from $2,500 to $4,000, while the warden will receive $11,500 up from $10,000. In November, council had requested a report providing information on council remuneration. Grey County assembled the information from surrounding counties. The average annual salary for wardens was $36,943. Removing the cities and regions left an average of $33,952. The average annual salary for councillors is $12,155. Removing the cities and regions left and average of $11,751. *** Councillors approved appoin- tments to the new tourism signage subcommittee. At the June planning, agriculture and public works committee a resolution passed that a subcommittee be formed to develop a tourism signage proposal for 2008. Representation would come from the highways and planning departments, as well as county council. The resolution was a result of an inquiry from South Huron councillor Ken Oke at the June county council meeting. County staff plan on presenting a report with proposed options in the spring. It was recommended that two councillors be appointed. They are Oke and Bluewater councillor Bill Dowson. *** Members of the cultural services and seniors committee were given a tour of the Huron County Museum following the December meeting. At county council, committee chair Jim Fergusson of Bluewater said the tour had been very interesting and urged every councillor to ask about a behind the scenes tour. “It’s quite something, and easier to understand the challenges they’re facing when you see things hanging because there’s not enough space.” Dowson suggested that a tour be arranged for council. *** The county budget will be taken on the road again this year. There was a general consensus that the presentations conducted last year were worthwhile. Dates will be arranged for meetings in Exeter and Wingham. *** The warden’s task force for 2008 will be comprised of war- den John Bezaire, Central Huron; chief administrative officer Larry Adams; the three committee chairs, Bert Dykstra, Central Huron, Jim Fergusson, Bluewater and John Grace, Goderich; past warden Deb Shewfelt, Goderich and second past warden Bill Dowson, Bluewater. *** The issue of county council restructuring will be discussed at a strategic planning meeting this month. Bezaire anticipates there will be three options for consideration. The intent is to move forward before the next election and give the lower-tier municipalities a year to be part of the process. At committee of the whole, it was noted that a working group, comprised of a group of nine, heads of council or the warden’s task force could be established. If the group of nine is chosen, councillors said they wanted the option of naming a delegate. Fergusson reminded that governance is defined by population and urged council to keep that in mind.
