Carey submitted sections
from the code and examples
of cases to try to sway Hunter.
The judge, however, said that
even if he accepted what
Carey was saying, Good
should still be facing some
jail time as a second offence
in Huron results in a 14-day
sentence.
"The Crown did not renege
on any pre-trial agreement.
note that the seven days he
got the first time is highly
unusual. But the function of
this court is that justice is
administered equally to one
and all."
Asked his feelings, Morris
said he was obliged to contin-
ue the joint submission for a
monetary penalty that
Cameron had set out.
After further consideration,
Hunter fined Good $1,500,
more than double what he
would have been fined in a
first offence in Huron. Good's
licence has been suspended
for two years. He was given
six months to pay the fine.

North Huron council and
staff will continue to follow
up on concerns from some
Auburn residents regarding
the local Co-op.
At the March 18 meeting,
council considered a letter
which complained about the
use of residential land for
commercial purposes by the
business, about litter and
problems with trailers and
skids parked in the area.
Clerk-Administrator John
Stewart said after speaking
with the individuals he
brought their concerns to the
attention of Chief Building
Official Byron Ellis who
looked into the matter. Ellis
reported to council that since
the complaint the property
standards concerns have been
cleaned up, though there are
still dumpsters located across
the road, which don't belong
there, he said.
Also, he said, the Co-op is
planning to erect a greenhouse
officer noted signs of impair-
ment.
Breathalizer readings were
160 mg of alcohol in 100 ml
of blood.
He was fined $750 and had
his licence suspended for one
year. He was given six
months to pay the fine.
Probation breach
In unrelated incidents two
men pled guilty to breaching
probation orders made when
they were young offenders.
For this reason they cannot be
identified.
The first, who is now 19,
was sentenced to 30 days in
jail.
The second, who is now 18,
received a $260 fine.
on property currently zoned
residential. Ellis explained
that currently the municipality
has not required a building
permit for greenhouses, but
under the Building Code Act
it is required.
Councillor Jim Campbell
spoke of other greenhouses
being erected within the town-
ship and stated that he thought
it was time council did some-
thing about it. "We need to
seriously look at this," he
said."
Stewart cautioned that
whatever decision council
came to, they would need to
treat the entire municipality
equally.
Ellis is preparing a report to
bring to council about green-
houses.
