Trees down A storm early Thursday, Sept. 29 caused several trees in the area to fall including one on London Road between Belgrave and Wingham. Some residents in Wingham were reported to be without power. (Heather Crawford photo) Lodge holds installation Blown over A wild storm last week caused power outages and wind damage in the area. The strong winds woke Darryl Hastings in the early morning hours, Thursday. He said he was just thinking about waking his wife, Bonnie, and son, Colton, and heading for the basement when he heard a loud noise. A portion of a tree on the south side of his house fell and knocked down a chimney. (Bonnie Gropp photo) Morning Star Rebekah Lodge #315 held its installation in the Lodge Hall on Sept. 27.

Clerk responds to letter to editor By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor North Huron clerk-administrator John Stewart took a few minutes at Monday night’s council/meeting to respond to a letter to the editor that had been published in the Sept. 22 issue of The Citizen. The writer had been less than pleased with the change of name for Drummond Street East to Brechen Street. The change was a result of a request from 911. “I mean no disrespect to the writer,” said Stewart. “Everyone should be able to express an opinion. But we went through a process.” Residents had been contacted to be given a chance to select the name of their street. The number one choice was Kelly Street. However, this was rejected by 911 because there are similar names within the county, said Stewart. “Any time there is a name already used in the county they won’t let you use it.” The second choice was Brechen and this was the one that 911 would accept. “The writer indicated that council pulled this name out on their own. That was not the case,” said Stewart, adding that he had received a number of calls regarding the letter. “Again it’s misinformation.” Business Directory O'h oldie Insurance Ltd. “Locally owned & operated” P.O.
