N. 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."

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.

averages were as follows: number of

"The animals appear to be in
excellent condition. they are well
adapted to our weather conditions."
The one impact which may be
seen is lower fawn numbers this
season, he said.

Council selects street names
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
In spite of what may have seemed
to be a long, hard- winter, the wildlife
population in Huron County has not
noticeably been effected.
Biologist Mike Malhiot with the
Ministry of Natural Resources said
that while the depth of snow and the
length of the season varied across
the region, it seems the deer
numbers did not decline drastically
