North Huron council has
supported a resolution that will see
the valour of firefighters
recognized.
Councillor Greg McClinchey
presented the resolution at the
regular council meeting of June
23.
He spoke of the national
memorial honouring the
contributions of fallen peace
officers. The names of four officers
killed while on duty were added to
this in 2007, including
OPP Const. David Mounsey of
Blyth and York Regional
Detective Const. Robert
Plunkett, who was raised in
Auburn.
“Fifty per cent of the names
added were directly connected
to North Huron,” said McClinchey.
Firefighting too, can be a
dangerous occupation, he said. In
2007 16 Canadian firefighters
perished while on the job.
“The fear is that here are 16
people, but there will be no place
where they can be registered.”
The resolution, he said, is an effort
to get politicians and peripheral
groups to consider the memorial.
“I’m asking council to support a
motion saying we feel there
should be a permanent national
memorial to honour fallen
firefighters.”
“Firefighters present an essential
service to each and every community
and are routinely required to place
themselves in situations that are
inherently dangerous,” said
McClinchey.
Reeve Neil Vincent felt it was
important to find a way to determine
a definition for those who “die in the
line of duty.”
“Many may be injured, but live out
a year or longer. I woud like to
see that they recognize those
people whose injury ended their
life.”
McClinchey said that the motion
is conceptual, but that there
has been debate as to what line
of duty death means. “If the
injury can be linked to the death
then it’s considered line of duty.”
Happy birthday to Stephen

On Wednesday, June 25, 20 Blyth
Seniors held their regular meeting at
the Parish Hall of Trinity Anglican
Church. They enjoyed a great variety
of food at the potluck dinner.
Plans were made for the club’s
entertainment afternoon at Huronlea
on July 15 at 2 p.m.
Sept. 22 is the annual bus trip. This
year it is to the Geritol Follies in
Hamilton. Anyone wanting tickets
may contact Jean Nethery.
The club is planning to have John
Hardy from Hanover as the guest
speaker on Oct. 22. He has written
two books on railways and will
illustrate his talk with slides of
pictures of trains that passed through
this area.
The club was entertained at a
musical concert by three gifted
young people from the Nicholson
family. Robyn played piano and
guitar, Emily played the violin and
Lucas played the guitar. It was a
great way to close the meeting.
There will be no meetings until
September. All local seniors are
welcome to attend.
