For children’s time Brian
illustrated with an elastic band; when
stretched there is more tension,
which causes trouble with other
people. When you don’t stretch it as
much you lose the tension. Jesus tells
us to love our enemies.
Larry Harper read scripture from 1
Corinthians 15: 35-38, 42-50 and
Barb Harper read from Luke 6: 27-
38.
Brian reflected on the scripture
lesson Luke 6: 27-38. Our job is to
spread the word of Christ. We should
love our neighbour and our enemy.
Jesus wants us to change and follow
him. We need to face our enemies
and get along with them. The hymn
of response was “For the Healing of
the Nations.”
Nancy Jardin reported on the

NH honours Wingham Police before OPP takeover
North Huron Township Council
honoured the Wingham Police
Service last week with a special
moment of recognition just ahead of
the disbanding of the service.
During Council’s Feb. 19 meeting,
days before the Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) took over police
services in the town of Wingham,
council members shared their views
on the change and thanked the
Wingham Police for their service to
the community over the years.
Deputy-Reeve Trevor Seip was
first to speak, pointing out the wealth
of police experience that was
represented by the officers in
attendance.
“In this room, we have more than
70 years of policing experience,
probably pushing 80 or 90 years,” he
said. “This is [an] historical day for
North Huron and the Wingham
Police Service.”
Individuals being recognized that
evening were Chief Tim Poole,
Sergeant Murray Foxton, Constable
Jamie Leslie, Constable Wade
Smith, Constable Bryan Verharghe,
Constable Kevin MacAdam,
Constable Mark Kirkby and Pat
Fraser.
Seip said that, as Police Services
Board chair, it had been his honour
to represent the township when
dealing with the police. He went on
to say that, as a municipality, North
Huron thanks them for their efforts.
“You, as members of the
association, and those no longer with
us, have served over the past 140
years,” he said.
Seip wished the officers well in
their coming endeavours, as all
except the retiring Chief Tim Poole
had been signed on with the OPP.
“On behalf of the police services
board and the ratepayers of North
Huron and Wingham, I especially
want to say thank you for your years
of service,” he said.
Before passing out plaques
honouring the commitment of the
officers attending the meeting,
Reeve Bernie Bailey said that history
was being made with this change
and that this marks the
disappearance of something that was
unique to Wingham.
Seip then spoke again, thanking
the families of the police
officers,many of whom were in
attendance.
“You have lived through the good
times of the Wingham Police Service
and the hard times of hours away
from family,” he said, thanking the
families and the officers once more.
For the next three years, a
dedicated OPP force will cover the
Wingham area out of an office
located at 30 Bristol Terrace in
Wingham. After those three years,
service will be tied into the larger
OPP service provided for most of
Huron County.
Going forward, Wingham
residents can continue to dial 911 in
case of emergencies. For non-
emergency, 24 hour a day, seven-
days-a-week service from the OPP,
residents can call 1-888-310-1122
and for administrative services,
during business hours, Wingham
residents can contact the OPP at
519-524-8314.
The impact of the move on the
municipality’s budget will become
more apparent once final transition
costs are paid and the municipality’s
2019 budget is finalized.
