THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2006. PAGE 7.
MI residents to be charged for late pickup
By Bonnie Gropp
The Citizen
Property owners in North Huron
who left garden refuse and leaves at
the road after the Nov. 13 deadline
will be charged for pick up.
That was the decision of council
on Dec. 4, following a
recommendation from director of
public works Ralph Campbell. "I
have been getting calls from
residents who are inquiring whether
the ones that didn't have the leaves
at the road by deadline will be
charged," Campbell told council.
An ad was put in the local papers
notifying residents that there would
be a charge if any refuse was left at
the curb following Nov. 13. "I would
like a decision of council on this and
how much the fee should be," said
Campbell.
Councillor Arnold Taylor
wondered if there needed to be a
different method in the future. "We
did put a notice in saying the
deadline was Nov. 13. But about
three weeks prior to that we put in a
notice with an earlier deadline as
well. I agree there has to be a
deadline, but I wonder if there was a
bit of confusion. I realize Mother
Nature does play a role in this."
Campbell said the first deadline
was to try and clean up the refuse
and leaves before Halloween to
eliminate the potential for mischief.
Clean up was done on a regular
basis between the two notices.
Campbell added there would only
be about five property owners in
Wingham and half a dozen in Blyth
who would be affected by the
decision.
Taylor suggested that different
wording on the final notice in the
future might be worth considering.
A fee of $20 per household was
agreed upon.

78 headstones knocked over at Wingham cemetery
North Huron council expressed
sincere appreciation at its Dec. 4
meeting to Mac Anderson of
Wingham Memorials.
Council was informed that 78
headstones had been knocked over at
the Wingham Cemetery. Ten had
been damaged.
Deputy-clerk Kathy Adams said
that Anderson had "come out and
put them up free of charge."
***
The• list of committees and
appointments was reviewed with
minimal changes.
***
Council decided that there will be
a Christmas tree pickup as last year.
A date will be set and advertised.
***
Bills and accounts totalling
$316,844.83 were approved for
payment.
.***
Council said no to a request from
one snowmobiler that snow fencing
not be placed on a road allowance
from Drummond Street to the old
railway line in Blyth.
Clerk administrator Kriss Snell
said the fence had been placed by a
neighbouring landowner to keep
snow from blowing onto his
shed.
Snell said he checked with the
township solicitor and they are under
no obligation to have the road
allowance for public use.
Also, he said, the Blyth
snowmobile club does not want to
have it open because the current trail
is close-by.

There will be a council orientation
on Dec. 21 at 7 p.m.
Marcy new HPCDSB chair
By Stew Slater
Special to The Citizen
Commitment to education runs
thick in the blood of Stratford's
Marcy family, and when it comes to
Ron Marcy, that's particularly
evident.
Marcy was the unanimous choice
of trustees on Monday, Dec. 4 to
take over as 2007 chair of the Huron-
Perth Catholic District School
Board. It's a post he has held six
times since first joining the board in
1974, most recently in 2004.
"It's still pretty much the same as
last time. Declining enrolment is still
our major concern, but we've also
got the addition to complete at St.
On Dec. 7 Huron OPP were
informed that a Huron County
student was travelling on a school
bus when he discharged a pellet gun.
The 16-year-old boarded the bus
in the morning and while enroute
discharged the weapon on the bus.
The pellet struck the front bus
window and ricocheted striking the
dnver's hand. At the time of the
incident the youth could not be
identified.
At the end of the school day the
same youth returned home on the
bus. The youth again discharged the
firearm on the bus this time striking
a youth.
The youth was caught and has
Mikes (high school in Stratford),"
the long-time trustee said following
the board's inaugural meeting.
He also noted there's a relatively
new Education Minister at Queen's
Park, and it's never possible to
predict everything that might filter
down from the provincial
government.
Marcy is a former high school
math teacher, having followed in the
footsteps of his father. And three of
his children have also chosen the
teaching path, two in the Huron-
Perth board and another in the
Halton Catholic board.
Joining him on the board for 2007
are three other long-time trustees:
Mike Miller from South
been dealt with by the school board.
Police are investigating the incident.
Huron OPP wish to remind
parents, if they have one of these
Huron/Bluewater, who was
acclaimed as 2007 vice chair,
Bernard Murray from Perth South,
and outgoing chair Vince McInnes of
North Perth/Perth East/Huron East.
The one newcomer will be Jim
McDade, also a former teacher but
also former principal and
administrator who spent 31 years
with the Huron-Perth board before
retiring in June, 2005. Many in
Huron County will recall the
Goderich resident from his stints as
principal at St. Marys (Goderich),
St. Joseph (Clinton) and St. James
(Seaforth).
For the past six years of his career,
he served as the board's special
education co-ordinator.
