Huron OPP said the July 7 crash happened around 7:15 a.m. on Mor- rison Line in Thckersmith Township. The officer had minor injuries. The cruiser was destroyed.

DRUG CHARGES (Goderich) 'Three Godrich residents are facing drug related charges after OPP pulled over their vehicle early July 19. At approximately 12:30 a.m. an OPP officer observed a vehicle trav- elling southbound on Gibbons Street in Goderich with daytime Winning lights and no taillights. The vehicle was stopped and a strong odour of marihua- na arihuana was detected inside. OPP say the driver of the vehicle showed obvious signs of impairment, and a subsequent search of the vehicle and its occupants lead to a seizure of suspected can- nabis marihuana. All three Scanner will enhance area healthcare From page 1 While there was considerable debate at the county level over Huron's financial commitment to the scanner, Warden Ken Oke said he was proud that county government played an integral role in the project adding that the acquisition of a scanner po- sitions Huron well to provide adequate healthcare and attract physicians. "Congratulations to all in- volved and Huron is proud to be a part of this project," he said. "We have to look after health care and put our money where our mouth is .because it is a dif- ferent era. If we equip hospitals now, all our hospitals will remain vibrant and doctors and nurses will be proud to work in this area. I'm proud the county was part of it and we need to make health care great in Huron." While the province's health ministry does not fund capital equipment projects, it had to clear the way for the founda- tion to commit to the fundrais- ing effort. Huron -Bruce Liberal MPP, Carol Mitchell, lauded the efforts of local volunteers who saw the project fundraising ef- fort through to a successful con- clusion. • "I'm so proud of the commu- nity and there was a strong, de- termined group effort to see the CT project get done,' she said " This is an important diagnostic tool and it will help attract phy- sicians. Hats off to all of you. I am proud of this community and I am proud of the healthcare we provide." For county physicians and medical staff, the availability of a scanner will greatly enhance the provision of healthcare and eliminate the need to send pa- tients out of the county for diag- nostic scans. "This renovation and renewal will provide services far supe- rior to what we had," Dr. Don Neal said on behalf of the hos- pital's medical staff. `The medi- cal staff thanks the community, board and staff for developing a vision into reality. Finally, the great black hole will be filled in Huron County. The medical staff is thankful and pleased." Ashfield Colborne Wawanosh Reeve, Ben VanDiepenbeek also credited staff and volunteers for following through on a vision and generating the $5 million required for the project. "The townships donated $100,000 for this important health tool that will assist physicians and residents," he said. "Con- gratulations to all involved. It's great to be a part of the project" Construction on the addition and renovations to the hospi- tal will begin in the next few weeks. Drop by and see Judy for all your quilting supplies.
