Mine owner Compass Minerals says the man was a contractor who was working at the mine Saturday morning. Police and Compass provided few details, but say emergency treatment was provided and the man was taken to hospital where he could not be revived. Huron County OPP reported the labour ministry — it investigates workplace deaths — was on site Saturday. The scene was secured and the mine cleared of underground staff by the company, pending the results of the investigation. Compass Minerals is the parent company of Sifto Salt, which Com- pass bought in 1990. The Goderich mine, active since 1867, is located 1,800 feet under Lake Huron. One worker at the mine site was killed in 2011 when a late -summer tornado struck Goderich, badly damaging the historic centre of the Huron County town. seaforthhuronexpositor.com Seaforth helps with fire in Clinton Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor The early -morning fire March 18 in Clinton had the Central I luron, Seaforth and Goderich fire personnel at the scene as well as members of 1-luron County Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Police were called to a blaze, in a building at the intersection of Highway 8 (Ontario Street) and Highway 4 (Victoria Street) in Clinton, at about 5:30 a.m., stated a release from Huron OPP. Ontario Provincial Police shut down a main intersection in Clinton, following the early morning blaze. Marty Bedard said he didn't know how many of his crew members helped with the situa- tion, but said, "the aerial truck, rescue and pumper," were on scene, which would be supplied with a crew of fire fighters. When this type of assistance is necessary from neighbouring fire departments, Bedard said it's a request called mutual aid. The fire affected no other buildings. No one was injured. The intersection was closed last Saturday. "We were up there last year at the same location, this is the same buildings that were on fire last year," Bedard said. # C'HURC'H R.EicToRy You are invited to attend these area churches ST.
