Wingham’s Brayden Fischer (Teeswater) put Wingham ahead again with an unassisted marker, however Mitchell was once again able to even the score before the period ended. Wingham took full advantage of penalties in the third period, earning three power-play goals to claim the 5-2 victory. Grant Stevens (Kincardine) struck first, assisted by Collinson and Meurs.

By Denny Scott The Citizen Continued from page 16 road, resulting in the Gowing’s concerns. They also lamented the lack of an established school zone on a street home to many schools, which they felt might curb some of the speeding they were seeing. Councillor Dan Colquhoun, however, disagreed, saying he had lived in Clinton for 60 years and drives on Princess Street every day and has never seen any evidence of the excessive speeding the Gowings were reporting. Colquhoun’s disagreement resulted in a heated exchange about traffic on the road between him and the Gowings, who said their complaint was not simply a case of a new couple moving to town and complaining. They said there is a very real problem with traffic control on Princess Street. Councillor Marg Anderson, who is the municipality’s representative on the local police services board, said she had been in touch with the OPP in regards to the complaint, suggesting they step up their presence in the area. Mayor Jim Ginn agreed with that approach, saying that if police hand out a number of speeding tickets in a short period of time, that word will get around schools rather quickly and that may help to curb any speeding along that stretch. He also told the Gowings that to declare the street a school zone would have to be confirmed with a bylaw, involving more work for council and staff, whereas the other measures could be completely rather easily. Council vowed to look into the issue further. HOLY COW HAVE YOU HERD!!!
