Attendees of the July 19 Seaforth Community Oriented Policing information evening learned that the residents of a community are one of the best sources of information to help police in identifying marijuana grow operations. Huron OPP Const. Dave Gillan said characteristics which may identify a marijuana grow operation are a house with: • all the windows covered with cardboard, foil, foam, blackout drapes Community Policing • little or no garbage put out for curbside collection • a neglected yard (grass/garden not maintained in summer, snow not shoveled in winter) • the house occupant(s) always entering and leaving house through garage door and at odd hours • no snow on the roof or on the ground close to the house walls. Grow house operators set up shop in all types of houses - large or small, old or new, in town or in the country. Once a house has been used as a grow house, it may be unfit for habitation. Toxic mold in the walls and extensive, illegal rewiring of the electrical system make the house unsafe for future occupants. Marijuana grow operations can also he set up in corn fields, without the owner's knowledge. Activity such as a person parked by the corn field, going into the field with shovels at odd hours and marking specific corn rows may indicate that more than corn is being grown. To help police in their efforts to identify and eliminate marijuana grow operations, report any suspicions to the OPP at 519- 524-8314 or 1-888-310-1122 or to Crime Stoppers at 1- 888-222-8477. The next Seaforth Community Oriented Policing information evening will be on Monday, Aug. 16, 7:30 p.m. at the town hall. The information evening will deal with domestic abuse issues, including physical aid psychological abuse. Everyone is welcome to attend. by Cathy Elliott Trial date set for former Clinton resident charged with impaired driving causing death By Cheryl Heath News -Record Editor The trial for a West Perth woman charged in connection with the death of a former Clinton resident is set for Oct. 5 in Goderich. Sherri Kyle is charged with impaired driving causing death and three counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm in connection to an Oct. 19, 2003 crash that claimed the life of 31 -year-old Bradley Jewitt. Kyle is also charged with driving a motor vehicle with over 80 miligrams of alcohol in her blood. OPP report the single - vehicle crash occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. on London Road, just south of the intersection of Short Horn Road in Huron East. Police allege Kyle was driving northbound in a black 2001 Chrysler, at a high rate of speed, when she passed a vehicle heading in the same direction. According to police, the driver lost control, entered the ditch and struck a tree. One person died and three others were injured. Police say alcohol was detected on the driver's breath, but officers could not obtain breath samples at that time. As a result, blood samples were obtained and sent to the Center oI Forensic Science for analysis. The Crown has elected to proceed with indictable charges. A preliminary hearing was set for July 26, but the defence waived that right in favour of heading to trial.
