NH to investigate legalities ofACO’s
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
North Huron council is going to
look into the legalities of allowing
the animal control officer to put
down any dog that’s a threat.
Bob Trick asked council’s
permission at the Nov. 21 meeting
saying, “it’s not my intention to get
chewed up. And 1 would like
permission to put down a dog in case
I run into a serious situation.”
The animal control officer
underlined the fact that this wouldn’t
mean he’d act irresponsibly. “Over
16 years I’ve only put down six
dogs. But it was brought to my
attention this year that dogs can be
quite vicious and I want to protect
myself.”
Clerk-administrator John Stewart
explained to council that currently
the contract does allow Trick to
discharge a firearm.
Reeve Doug Layton then
wondered if that didn’t mean Trick
had permission to shoot any dog that
he felt threatened by. The animal
control officer stated, however, that
this was usually for the purpose
of wild animals or for humane
reasons.
“It does say I can shoot a dog with
the reeve’s permission, but if I have
to hunt up the reeve in a serious
request
situation it may be too late.”
Questioned by councillor Murray
Nesbitt as to whether or not council
could legally give him the authority,
the matter was turned over to the
health, social and cultural committee
for consideration. The legal
implications will also be
investigated.
North Huron council learns township has pythons
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
There may be as many as eight
pythons in North Huron.
That was the news from animal
control officer Bob Trick when he
delivered his annual report to
council at the Nov. 21 meeting.
Trick told council that there was
one python in the township, but he
had learned “there may be seven
more”.
As well there are 10 pit bulls in
the township, eight have complied
with the registration and one
“almost” said Trick.
A total of 557 tags were sold,
which is down about 55 from last
year. Thirteen dogs were picked up
and taken to the vet, and another two
were returned to their owners with a
warning.
There were three sick cats dealt
with and one vicious dog. Trick
handled attacks on people by three
dogs, while two dogs had attacked
other dogs. There was also a case of
a horse being attacked by dogs.
There were reports of 10 skunks.
Trick sent one away for testing
which came back positive for rabies.
“So I presume they all had rabies,”
Trick added.
One kennel licence was sold.
And as bylaw enforcement officer,
Trick said he spoke to six
skateboarders in Blyth, where
boarders are not permitted on the
street.
North Huron council briefs
Clerk says campground issue seems to be resolved
North Huron clerk-admnisitrator
John Stewart told council at the
Nov. 21 that everything seems to be
in place for the Bluewater Kennel
Club dog show and Campvention
this summer.
An overlap in use of the Blyth
campgrounds had created a conflict,
which with co-operation on both
sides, said Stewart, appears to have
been resolved.
***
It was a difficult decision but
council finally agreed to treat the
staff to the Christmas dinner and
dance at the Wingham Columbus
Centre, Dec. 3.
At the Nov. 7 meeting council
lor Murray Nesbitt stated his
feeling that council needed to do
something more significant than
in the past to show staff they
areappreciated.
The idea of the dinner and dance
concerned some councillors as they
felt' it would leave out employees
who chose not to attend.
The matter was deferred to Nov.
21 for a decision.
That night Adams stated that
paying for the dinner and dance
would cost approximately double to
what was normally spent.
Nesbitt, however, stressed that
this was not the time of year to
pinch pennies, adding that council
does not do enough for its
employees.
It was also decided that those not
attending would receive something
in lieu of the dinner.

From the public works committee
a recommendation was accepted to
purchase a heavy duty rotary brush
