Times Advocate, 1991-02-13, Page 2Page 2 Times -Advocate, February 13, 1991 Break-ins at Grand Cove under OPP investigation GRAND BEND - The Exeter OPP are currently investigating a series of 11 break and enters and three, attempted break-ins at the Grand Cove Estates trailer park in Stephen Township. Police say the break-ins occurred between last Wednesday and Friday and an un- determined amount of property has been stolen, including liquor, cash, jewellery, and at least one television and VCR. Because Grand Cove Estates is a retirement community and many ' residents spend the winter months in the United States, the empty homes may be attractive to thieves. The OPP are continuing their in- vestigation of these crimes and are asking the public for any informa- tion they may have about suspi- cious persons or activity in the area last week.

Monday night, council received letter from Ian McQueen sayin due to difficulties with the Hum County planning department, h will not be bringing his business to Hensall.

The dealership was going to go right next to the municipal building in what used to house a gas station.

Doug Wright GRIP facts on coverage EXETER - The new Gross Rev- enue Insurance Protection pro- gram can be confusing, admits Corn Producer Association direc- tor Gerry Wallis of Whalen Cor- ners. Wallis, who is also a member of the Crop Insurance and Stabiliza- tion Committee, said GRIP which replaces the Agricultural Stabiliza- tion Act (ASA), guarantee 80 percent of Huron County corn pro- ducers' yields. Farmers who have been in- volved with insurance programs in the past, will be insured for 80 per- cent of their historic yield whereas farmers who have not been, will be guaranteed for 80 percent of the township's average. Once a farmer is perceived to be or can prove he/she is producing above the township average, he/she can be underwritten for 110-115 percent of etownship e. Wallis said members of tif Com Producers are hoping that the basAssociation, yiel will be fast -tracked to their own farm yield. HowDoesyour RRSPRate?

JP court hears charges on traffic offenses • EXETER - Operating a vehicle while .%0In 1 under licence suspension, and a care- less driving charge resulted in two fines of $253.75 each for Kevin G. Thomas of R.R. 1, Thedford. Police said they were on routine patrol on October 31 in Stephen Township, when they received a call regarding an accident, and the in- jured party had been taken to South Huron Hospital. Thomas identified himself verbally to police at the hospital. Police then went to the accident scene, and saw a vehicle on the north -side of the road in a field. Police said the vehicle had gone off the road, strik- ing a hydro pole which severed it from its base. Po- lice said the car had rolled twice and landed upright - it was completely demolished. The court heard that the road was straight and lev- el, and there had been sign of Thomas attempting to stop. Police said a sideways skid indicated the -phi. cle milst have been travelling at an excessive speed. 1 nomas initially stated he had been a passenger, `but later admitted to being the driver. Thomas' licence had been suspended since 1985 for unpaid fines, and the owner of the vehicle had not given Thomas permission to drive. 49 km/h over the limit Driving 49 km/h over the posted limit result- ed in a $297.75 fine with three mon s to pray, for Norman J. Alsop of 84 Oxford St., Hensall. Police said they activated radar on October 14, when they spotted a vehicle which was visibly speed- ing on Highway 84 in Hay Township. Police say Alsop's vehicle locked in at 136 km/h when it was 50 metres away from the cruiser. Alsop told the court that he was approaching a stop sign when the incident occurred, and feels the 136 km/h reading must have 'been another vehicle which was on the highway. Alsop said he was only driving 95 km/h before he was pulled over. Alsop told the court he will appeal the charge. DrivingS95 km/h in anp 80 ung km/h zone resulted in a $41.25 fine for Elizabeth D. Liberty of 217 Tecum- seh Ave., London. Police said they were operating mobile radar on December 18, when they spotted a vehicle on High- way 4 which gave three readings of 105 km/h, and locked in at 104 km/h. Liberty told the court she was speeding, but said she was doing 90 km/h. Liberty also told the court that her ticket was timed at 10:25 p.m., when the inci- dent actually occurred at 10:25 a.m. The Justice of the Peace stated by the evidence giv- en, it was obvious the ticket was issued in the morn- ing. ', 'Unnecessary nope' Causing unnecessary noise resulted in a $78.75fine with 90 days to pay, for 'Jeremy F1hklibind of CYttdiu ton. The court heard Finkbeiner was pulled over be- cause he had accelerated his car at a stop sign causing the motor to roar and tires to squeal. A police officer said he was getting out of his cruis- er when the noise drew his attention to the vehicle. The officer said the noise was so loud he thought an accident may have occurred. Fine A $78.75 fine was handed to Ray Wilson of Blue - vale for doing 100 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. Wilson was stopped in Usborne Township on High- way 23, after radar locked in his tractor -trailer at 109 km/h. IF Yoti4 ON LOW YIELD 41+ TERM DEPOSITS AND 14 G.I.C.'s FOR YOUR R.S.P.
