Fire
Continued from page 1
By Monday the dairy herd had
been relocated in a barn on the farm
of Andy DeVries of Auburn who had
recently sold his farm. The barn on
the farm is still set up for dairy.
Chief Josling said the cause of the
fire is unknown but the suspicion is
that rats may have damaged wiring
causing a short. There had been
problems with rats in that area of the
barn and the fire was first seen in the
area right near the main electrical
panel for the buildings, he said.
Firemen battled to save a hiefer
barn attached to the barn and most of
it is undamaged, Mrs. Siertsema
said. Lost, however, was a newly
constructed addition to the barn as
well as the milk house and tools that
were in the barn because of work
being done on the recent renova
tions.
Blyth firemen were assisted by a
tanker from the Wingham and
District Fire Department as they
poured thousands of gallons on the
flames in an effort to save the
addition. The Blyth pumper eventu
ally went back to the station about 2
a.m. but the tanker, along with a
skeleton crew, stayed at the scene
until 6a.m. to make sure the fire
wouldn’t flare up again.
Mrs. Siertsema said Monday
nighttheremainsofthefire were
still making it too hot for people to
get into the remaining buildings to
see what equipment could be
salvaged. Shesaidthefamily had
good insurance on the building but
probably not enough to cover all the
costs of rebuilding. She said neigh
bours and friends have been very
helpful bringing hay for the cattle
and food for the family.
Forty-one members of the Knight
family held their Christmas in
Cranbrook Community Centre on
Saturday, Nov. 26. The Country
Cooks catered to their supper and a
surprise visit from Santa added to
the evening enjoyment.

Recounts called for as the result of
close counts in the November 14
municipal elections in two munici
palities in north Huron County have
been held, with both results remain
ing unchanged.
Grey Township assistance clerk
Rhonda Fischer said that the recount
called for by former councillor Fred
Uhler as the result of his 319-324 loss
to Graeme MacDonald in the race for
the position of deputy-reeve was
held at the township office on Friday,
with the results remaining unchang
ed. Mr. MacDonald replaces retir
ing deputy-reeve Lyle Pettapiece in
the municipality's second-highest
office.
In the Ashfield and East and West
Wawanosh race for the position of
public school trustee, Vicki Culbert
called for a recount when November
14 polls showed she had been
defeated by incumbent trustee Tony
McQuail by a margin of only two
votes. However, a November 28
recount at the Ashfield municipal
office saw the result of the vote
unchanged, although Ashfield
clerk-treasurer Linda Andrew said
that each contestant had picked up
one more vote, for a total of335 to 333
for Mr. McQuail.
Mr. MacDonald was sworn in at
Grey Township’s inaugural meeting
on Monday, while Mr. McQuail was
sworn in at the Huron County Board
of Education’s inaugural meeting in
Clinton on the same day.
