Nov. 17. (Denny Scott photo) Gowing takes spot on county council hiring committee Morris-Turnberry’s Paul Gowing replaced Goderich’s Deb Shewfelt on the county’s hiring committee. Shewfelt said he simply didn’t have the time to commit due to his busy schedule. “I’ve just been very, very busy,” Shewfelt told councillors, adding that he had already spoke to Gowing, who was in favour of taking over the spot. “I apologize, I just can’t handle it,” Shewfelt said. “I think it’s best I’m upfront with that.” *** The Trees Beyond Goderich program was in full swing over the weekend planting 1,200 new trees in a Benmiller woodlot over the weekend. Ahead of the planting, however, Rachel White from the Huron Stewardship Council made a presentation on the program to Huron County Council at its Nov. 14 Committee of the Whole meeting. White explained that a group of volunteers from all over North America was in Goderich and Benmiller for the planting project, where 15 different tree species would be planted. On Sunday the volunteers re-planted 11 acres of trees.
