Hanover man pleads guilty to care and control s A Hanover-area man pled guilty to e care and control of a motor vehicle, when he appeared in Wingham's provincial court, Nov. 15. The e charge is laid if an individual is 3 impaired but, though not driving the car at the time, could drive it. Crown Attorney Bob Morris said police charged Joseph Hill after he was involved in a car crash in Howick Twp. Sept. 29. Judge Garry Hunter was told that police arrived at the scene at 5:50 a.m. and found Hill in the driver's seat with the vehicle's motor running. Noting signs of impairment and the odour of alcohol, they took Hill to the detachment where breathalizer readings were 110 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood. Morris said Hill was found guilty of over 80 in March of 1986. In addition to the 12 months driv- ing prohibition, Hill was fined - $1,000. Hunter gave him six months to pay the fine. Over 80 A Brussels man has lost his license for a year after pleading guilty to over 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood. Alex Leger was charged Sept. 15 after being stopped by officers for the purpose of checking documents and the sobriety of the driver, Morris said. They noted an odour of alcohol. Breathalizer readings were both 110. Leger has no record. He was fined $750 and given 60 days to pay. Cause disturbance A Seaforth man pled guilty to causing a disturbance over an inci- dent in Wingham on Feb. 3. - Morris said police and ambulance attendants were called at 2:15 a.m. over a fight outside the hotel in Wingham. He said the altercation had started in the bar, and after being escorted from the building the accused, Brent Webster, and the vic- tim continued the fight in the parking lot. Defense Counsel Glen Carey said the fight in the bar had been verbal. Morris said Webster has a record from June 27, 2000 for assault with a weapon and from May 15, 2000 for arson and break and enter. Two others involved pled guilty in an earlier court and received fines of $250. Noting that his client was not the initiator, "He certainly got pounded, even lost some teeth," Carey asked that Hunter consider a similar punishment. The judge fined Webster $300. He was given one month to pay. Assault A Blyth man pled guilty to assault. Morris said when the victim showed up at a party, he was not per- mitted in. One attendee, Jerry Mason, asked him to leave and pushed him. The victim punched back and things escalated, Morris said, until "both parties finished up on the ground." Mason sustained a "fat lip" while the victim had a cut over his eye and some swelling. Mason has no record. Defense Counsel Mike Donnelly said there was no "on-going history" between his 23-year-old client and the victim. "It was essentially a one- time affair," he noted, asking for a fine. Also, he said that the victim did not feel a need for a non-contact pro- bation order. Mason was fined $300 and is pro- hibited from owning weapons for a period of five years. He was given 60 days to pay. Peace bonds Two people entered into peace bonds. Douglas Stephenson and Denton Chambers must keep the peace and be on good behaviour fdr 12 months and have no contact with the individual named by the tourt. In an unrelated case, Lauri Trower also entered into a peace bond for a period of 12 months. North Huron council briefs Council learns of pitbull attack in Wingham There was another pitbull attack in North Huron council was told at its Nov. 5 meeting. Clerk-Administrator John Stewart explained that there apparently had been a confrontation between neigh- bours and at some point the dog gott off the leash and attacked a woman biting her arms and legs. The owners have been charged by police and will also be charged by the municipality. The dog was quar- antined on the property for 10 days. It was licensed as a pitbull and had its shots, said Stewart. He added that the resolution recently passed by council asking the province to allow municipalities to ban certain breeds has been get- ting a good deal of support. ** * Stewart advised that he'had met with the six East Wawanosh resi- dents using the Whitechurch water systems. Five have said they would share newly drilled wells with their neighbours rather than be served by the municipal system. North Huron will have to enter into an agreement with Huron- Kinloss authorizing them to provide water to the one East Wawanosh res- ident. " We can do this. It's just a little more paperwork for both municipal- ities," said Stewart. *** Stewart is to prepare an applica- tion for funding to Green Streets Canada, * * * North Huron will advertise in the 2002 season brochure of Blyth Festival for $650. * * * Council had no objections to the Lions Clubs selling tickets for Canine Vision Canada in the munic- ipality. ** * On Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m. Huron OPP were notified of a theft at a res- idence on John Street in Brussels. An officer discovered that sometime during the night a person walked onto the front lawn of the residence and stole an ornamental cement eagle. The eagle weighed between 200 Council also had no objection to the Alzheimer Society decorating forget-me-not trees in Blyth and Wingham. *** Council adopted a recommenda- tion from the Blyth and District Community Centre Board to allow and 300 pounds and would have required two people to move the object and a truck to remove it from the scene. The bird is valued at $500 to replace. Anyone who can help solve this crime is asked to call the local OPP or Crime Stoppers. the donation of two hours ice time for the Santa Claus parade day.
