n March, North Huron OPP
arrested a man and woman
m the Wingham area for
conspiring to commit a murder.
The couple, dubbed Plot Pair in
headlines, were arrested Mar. 12
facing charges of conspiracy to
commit murder and counseling
to commit murder, and began
a string of appearances in the
county's courthouse for months
to come. In June, the pair were
granted bail with conditions in
Superior Court in Goderich.
Valentine's Day got off to a
rocky start for one Goderich busi-
ness after it was discovered that
goods totaling $40,000 were tak-
en from the local Sears store on
Huron Road. Feb. 18.
Canine units, helicopters, foot
searches and roadway patrols
splashed across GSS pages be-
ginning April 1, after 66 -year-old
Dungannon resident Ronald Hal-
lam was reported missing: Mas-
sive efforts were put forth from
both the police and community
for weeks after Hallam walked
away from his home and never
returned. A crime unit was as-
signed to continue the search for
Hallam after he left his home and
entered the nearby woods at Sara-
toga Swamp on the morning of
March 25. Police said Hallam, an
avid hunter, may have been armed
at the time. In the April 15 .edition
of the GSS, Hallam's sister, Kathy
Driscoll made a passionate plea
for her missing brother to come
home safe. Driscoll said she be-
lieved her brother was "alive. and
well," however no new informa-
tion came to light. On April 23,
Ronald Hallam's brother, Bob
Hallam, was aided by nearly 100
friends, family and community
members as he led one of many
volunteer search efforts about the
area. In late May, Huron OPP
said they had exhausted every av-
enue and option in the search for
Hallam,, and said they would rely
heavily on tips from the public
from that point on.
Uh-oh! Local daredevil,
14 -year-old Connor Nyman, was
making plans for a whitewater
rafting adventure just hours after
being plucked from the swollen
waters at Sharpe's Creek Feb. 12.
The rescue by a 'human -chain'
of emergency response . workers
was big news after the boy .be-
came stuck under a culvert in an
inflatable dinghy, rushed by deep,
fast water just south of Goderich
on Highway 8. The rescue took
police and firefighters about 15
minutes. Connor said that in all,
he. spent about an hour rafting
the wild Sharpe's Creek. He was
treated at Clinton hospital as a
precaution.
An argument at an area fish and
hunt club resulted in the stabbing
of a 28 -year-old Clinton man
April 4. He suffered serious, but
non -life-threatening injuries and
was treated at the London Health
Sciences Centre.
It was a sad day for many on
April 14 when Ontario's old-
est Roman Catholic priest, and
Goderich-area native, Rev. Mi-
chael J. Dalton passed away at
the age of 106. Dalton was born
May 5, 1902 near Goderich. In a
2004 interview with the London
Free Press, Dalton was asked the
secret to his longevity. "God only
knows," he replied with a twinkle
in his eye.
A daring midday robbery net-
ted a thief $1,000 in cash after a
suspect walked in to the Bank of
Montreal on The Square Tuesday,
July 21 around 1:30 p.m. and de-
manded cash from a teller under
threat of a weapon. The suspect
was arrested less than two hours
later in a police takedown near the
Sebringville OPP detachment on
Highway 8 after the robber left
Goderich in a local taxi headed
for Kitchener.
After a five-hour manhunt, an
escaped Bluewater Youth Cen-
tre inmate is back in custody. A
17 -year-old male broke free of the
youth. detention centre at 12:45
p.m. on September 9. A witness
to the incident immediately called
OPP, who put in place a massive
search effort that resulted in the
male being detained just before
6 p.m. Road blocks. were set up
at major roadways surround-
ing Goderich, including points
at Highway 21 and Highway 8.
An OPP helicopter was sent in
from Orillia within minutes of
the escape alert, and the Cana-
dian Coast Guard was also put
on standby. Along with air, water
and road surveillance, two canine
units were also dispatched to the
area.
