Huron considers OPP proposal By Bonnie Gropp Citizen staff Councillors for North Huron are taking time to consider a proposal for policing following a presentation at the April 2 meeting. Sgt. Rod Case of the OPP Contract Policing Bureau referred to the proposed service for North Huron as one of "pro-active and re-active policing". The model presented reflects an integrated policing .concept which incorporates the policing services contract for the township with OPP municipal and provincial responsibilities under one administration, Case said. Public input from meetings was considered in putting together the model, he noted. From that came the inclusion of a "dedicated" sergeant and clerical staff for the office. "We would not have put in a full-time sergeant and clerical person. but people wanted access to police services during the day." Continued from page 15 Gosnell which sold to Bill Patterson of Rodney for $3,800. The runner-up Cattlemen's Choice was Birchlawn William Tell, a Red Angus consigned by Larry Smith. This was purchased by Shawn Piggot of Brigden for $4,700. The third bull in the ring was a polled Limousin, BrownEden Knockout, consigned by Neil Brown which sold to Mabel Diehl of Milverton for $5,000. The highest selling bull of this event, for $6300, was a Full Fleck vieh, Silver Springs Maurus, consigned by James and Joan McKinlay. This bull was purchased by Rene Racicot of St Vital-De-Clermont, Quebec. Without these the cost could drop by $120,000 to $140,000, Case said. Sgt Rick Sinnamon, however, spoke in favour of the sergeant's position, likening it to that of current Wingham Chief Jim Dore. He acknowledged the chief's contributions to the community, adding that his position was not something on which a price could be placed. ' The estimated costs associated with the model based on the 2001 salary schedule for OPP officers is $709,962. In addition there would be capital costs of $29,845. Noting that the budget for Wingham Police Service was in the half million dollar range, Case said the OPP proposal, which has an addition of two constables over Wingham's, is "right where it should be." Deputy-Reeve Jeff Howson questioned the level of service and was assured by Case that current levels would be maintained in each of the three wards. This year's. Pick of the Crop sale averages were as follows: number of bulls, breed average pfice, price range, five Black Angus, $2,690, $1,750 - $4,200; three Red Angus $3,700, $2,800 - $4,700; one Blonde, $2,500; one Charolais $3,400; 19 Composite, $2,908, $1,700 - $4,000; one Gelbvieh, $2,200; seven Limousin, $3,379, $2,000 - $5,000; one Maine, $2,400; 14 Simmentals, $2.332 $1,450 - $6,300; 52 bulls $2,819.

The one impact which may be seen is lower fawn numbers this season, he said. There was some concern for the wild turkey population in the heart of winter bechuse the deep, fluffy snow can cause problems. However, other than predator losses., there were no mortalities that were unusual.
