WI raises funds for cancer Congrats Gary Caldwell of Blyth was presented his $4,000 cheque from the Wingham Knights of Columbus last week for winning first prize in their elimination draw. Caldwell promptly traded the cheque in for the alternative, a $5,000 voucher available for use at one of the draw’s over 50 vendors.

(Shawn Loughlin photo) Enforcement efforts to catch speeders in specific areas of the county are not over, according to Huron OPP. “They will continue on an on- going basis as the need arises,” said Const. Joanna Van Mierlo. In March, the Huron OPP traffic unit in conjunction with Huron County identified various locations of concern regarding speeding motorists, including Auburn and Blyth. The posted speed in Auburn is 50 kilometres an hour. Police conducted a study of vehicle speeds using hand-held directional radar and found the average speed to be 65 kph. The next month, in April, police focused traffic enforcement efforts on this area and issued approximately 40 provincial offence notices. Police returned approximately a month later to conduct the study once again. The average speed was then determined to be 53 kph. Enforcement was conducted on Queen Street in Blyth during the month of April, with some drivers being charged for speeding. A study of the average speed was conducted and it was found to be 54 kph for northbound and 51 kph for southbound traffic. The third stop was through Hensall on London Road. There the study determined an average speed of 75 kph in a posted 60 kph zone. Over the month of April, police focused on this area and issued approximately 60 tickets. Returning to conduct a similar study, the average speed was 64 kph. “For all of you who choose to speed, consider yourself pre- warned. We may be set up around the next bend in your road and if you come speeding into our radar beam, you could be charged,” said Van Mierlo. “Slow down for your own sake and for the sake of others sharing the road.” Brussels Mennonite Fellowship has granted Pastor Brent Kipfer a sabbatical from May 16 - August 31, 2008.
