Auburn-area man authors novel
Summer reading
What better summer reading than your own book, Auburn-area
author Paul Rosscansayashesits back in a lawn chair at a book
launching party in Bayfield Thursday. The humorous book on
small town life took one year towrite but it took two years to find
a publisher.
For Auburn-area resident Paul
Ross the coming of the computer
age to his office led to a first novel
which was unveiled to many county
residents at a book launching in
Bayfield Thursday.
“Four Corners on Main Street”
is a comic novel about life in a small
town. It is published by Somerville
House Publishing of Toronto.
Mr. Ross, who with his wife
Heather operates a law office in
Goderich, brought home a compu
ter three years ago to his historic
stone house on the base line south
of Auburn so he could practise
using it before the switch was made
at the couple’s offices. Needing
something to type, he started
composing a story. “I had no idea
there was a novel within me”, he
says.
He had always fiddled with
writing since the days he was a
reporter with the Toronto Telegram
before he became a lawyer. He also
operated a store-front legal office
in Toronto before coming to Huron
where he has operated offices in
Clinton, Blyth and Seaforth before
moving to Goderich.
The story in Four Comers on
Main Street is really about power,
Mr. Ross said Thursday, as guests
drifted by to congratulate him at a
party at Bayfield’s Little Inn. There
is a delicate power struggle be
tween a husband and wife, power
between the people who don’t have
anything and those who do, power
between the town’s police chief and
the mayor.
Mr. Ross says writing on a
computer was an experience he

Tumberry man fined
$500 for assaulting wife
A Wingham-area man was fined $500 after pleading guilty in
provincial court in Wingham Wednesday to assaulting his wife.
Paul H. Shaw, RR 1, Wingham had originally been charged with
assault causing bodily harm but the charge was reduced to common
assault after negotiations between acting crown attorney L. McGuire
and defence counsel Brian Linley.
The court was told that the assault took place in the Shaw’s
Turnberry township home on Dec. 16,1989. When Mrs. Shaw refused
to go to the beer store for her husband he punched her in the face
making her nose bleed. He left the house and she went to the hospital
for treatment. The court was told Mr. Shaw had a previous record for
assault in 1982.
The crown attorney said the fact the couple had reconciled led her to
agree to the lesser charge.
Judge J. M. Seneshen told Mr. Shaw that “if it had been any worse
(an assault) than that, you would have gone to jail for three to five
months. Next time you go to the beer store yourself. Your wife is not
your slave.”
Bluevale man breaches
probation, fined $500
I
A Bluevale man was fined $500 or three months in jail for breaching a
probation from a brutal beating last year when he appeared in
provincial court in Wingham Wednesday.
Paul Gerald Martin pleaded guilty to breaching the terms of his
probation which included that he was not to consume alcohol. Mr.
Martin had been convicted of assault on Kim Tout, apparently while he
was drunk. He had been on top of the pregnant Ms. Tout beating her
when her friend came to her assistance and he hit her. Ms. Tout
escaped the house and he went looking for her and when he couldn’t
find her he beat a barking dog with a shovel.
The court was told he was consuming alcohol in violation of his
probation from Dec. 1,1989 to January 17, 1990. The complaint was
brought by Ms. Tout who said she had witnessed the drinking and even
obtained alcohol for him at one point. She filed the complaint of the
breach of probation when he indicated he would threaten her.
