Wroxeter man gets jail
for drinking and driving
A Wroxeter man was sentenced
to jail after pleading guilty to
impaired driving and driving while
prohibited in Wingham's provincial
court Wednesday, Feb. 17.
Raymond Law was arrested Aug.
14, in East Wawanosh Township
by Wingham OPP Constables
Hunter and Schute following a
series of incidents.
Attorney for the crown Liz
Maguire told presiding Judge
R.G.E. Hunter that on that evening
Don Scrimgeour, owner of Scrim-
geours Food Market in Blyth, had
called police after seeing a car
strike a guard rail. Mr. Scrimgeour
provided a description of the late
model car and told police there
were three males in the car at the
time.
Later that evening a second inci-
dent involving the same car, was
reported by a Morris Township res-
ident, the court was told. Then
police were notified of a car driving
erratically in East Wawanosh
Township by Elaine Cook.
Ms Maguire said, officers
West Wawanosh Township coun-
cil gave their clerk and road super-
intendent a $500 raise for 1993 at
their Feb. 2 meeting.
The salary increase is $130 more
than last year's increase.
The full-time grader operator was
also given an hourly rate increase
of 25 cents.
A recorded vote was taken on the
motion to increase wages with
three council members voting yes
and two no. Reeve Alex Chisholm
voted against it because he felt
there shouldn't be any increase.
Councillor Robert Snowden also
voted against because he felt the
increase was not sufficient.
In other council news, council re-
appointed Rhea Hamilton-Seeger
as the township representative on
the North Huron Community
Development Committee to the
conclusion of its mandate.
Clerk-Treasurer Joan Armstrong
was authorized to arrange a dinner
engagement for the chairman and
sub-committee heads of the War-
rior Days Celebration Committee in
recognition of their work in plan-
Ratepayers and students of the
Huron-Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
expressed their concern with the
Youth News Network (YNN) at the
board's Jan. 25 meeting.
Two men, representing con-
cerned parents, students and
ratepayers said they disagreed with
the board's decision to sign a con-
tract with YNN for St. Michael
Catholic Secondary School.
A petition containing the signa-
tures of 378 adults and 156 stu-
dents requested that the board
reconsider its decision.
Later in the meeting, the board
said based on concerns by the
administration regarding technical
aspects of YNN, it had been decid-
xl to defer signing a contract with
YNN at this time.
However, the board said it would
install the necessary technical com-
ponents (for example, cabling and
mounting hardware for the satellite
fish and television monitors) at its
)wn expense, to the extent that it
;ould afford to do so.
The Board instructed the Director
)f Education to arrange a meeting
with two trustees and Huron MPP
3aul Klopp to clarify and share the
board's point of view regarding
stopped the car, Mr. Law was driv-
ing and was alone in the car. The
officers, she said, noticed signs of
impairment.
Ae station, where he had been
taken for a breathalizer, Mr. Law
yelled obscenities and was unco-
operative, Ms Maguire said.
It was also learned that Mr. Law
was driving while under suspension
for a previous drinking and driving
violation.
Speaking on behalf of Mr. Law,
defense attorney John Myers said
that while it was obvious Mr. Law
had a severe alcohol problem he
was currently undergoing a two-
year alcohol counselling program.
Further, Mr. Myers said, the
accused only remembers the early
stages of the evening, but believes
his unco-operative manner may
have been due to an earlier con-
frontation with one of the other
men in the car.
Judge Hunter gave him three
months on the impaired charge and
45 days to be served consecutively
for driving while his license was
suspended.
ning and executing a successful
event.
George Dodds of RR 2, Lucknow
was appointed the new Site Super-
visor at the West Wawanosh Waste
Management Site. The former man-
ager, Bob McCallister held the
position for five years but resigned
due to health reasons. The job is a
one-day-a-week position.
Council decided to contact Jim
Finleon to count dogs and sell dog
tags in the township.
A special allowance was set up
for the reeve for when he responds
to complaints regarding stray or
problem dogs. When he's called
out, the reeve will receive $10 per
trip plus a travel rate of 30 cents
per kilometer.
Council authorized Councillor
Chisholm to install a dead-bolt on
the west door of the office building
and to repair the council chamber
door which has become warped.
Council decided to donate four
dozen 125th anniversary souvenir
hats to Brookside Public School for

the Cousineau report.
The Board approved a resolution
to continue the current trustee's
honorarium of $6,000 annually and
the meeting allowance of $30 for
all meetings in excess of three
monthly for 1993.
Morris looks
at earlier
tax billing
To improve cash flow, Morris
council is considering changing due
dates for taxes.
When the subject of 1993 taxes
came up at their Feb. 2 meeting, the
idea of interim tax billing was first
discussed.
Interim tax billing allows munici-
palities to collect 25 per cent of the
previous years' tax bills prior to set-
ting the budget to improve cash
flow, explained Clerk-Treasurer,
Nancy Michie.
Morris has never used interim tax
billing and council decided they
would not in 1993 either.
Council then looked at the option
changing the dates of tax collec-

Heritage contest still open
Whew! Maybe this heritage business is tougher than we expected.
Plenty of people seem to be stumped by the heritage contest pictures
in last week's Citizen. The contest showed pictures of various house-
hold objects from years past and asked readers to identify them. So
far there hasn't been a flood of entries.
The contest is still open, however, with entries being accepted
until Friday night, February 26 at 4:30 p.m. There are two prizes: two
tickets to the Blyth Festival and two dinners at the Brussels Country
Inn. Remember, you don't have to be correct on every one of the
objects to win. Those who correctly identify all the objects will have
first chance of winning (all correct entries will be put in a draw for
the prizes) but if no one is 100 per cent correct, the entries with the
most correct answers will be chosen.
