Huron Expositor, 2017-01-04, Page 11Wednesday, January 4. 2017 • Huron Expositor 11 Year in Review October Agriplex sells out in "spot on" psychic reading The best advice for a new- comer who makes the bold decision to give Kelly Elson's psychic reading a whirl -bring a tissue, because she may just give you some shock- ing data from the afterlife. The sold -out crowd October 27 at the Seaforth Agriplex wel- comed 145 inquisitive patrons who were looking for any infor- mation revolving around lost loved ones, friends that had passed or in rarer cases a pet on the other side. Compared to last year's event, accord- ing to the Seaforth Agricul- ture Society, this event had double the attendance. "That's not uncommon right, it's the kind of thing where people go in there and they experience a little bit of it," stated Elson about the increased attention her group sessions are receiv- ing of recent. "They tell other people about it, so this cre- ates a lot of curiosity." "There is a little bit of a buzz going." Cocaine use among 18-25 year olds is growing in Huron County, says OPP during drug forum The Huron County Drug Office - Community Drug Action Team member said during a public forum the night of Oct. 19 that all street drugs are present in Huron County, but cocaine is becoming more popular with this demographic because it is seen as a party drug that has fewer negative side effects than methamphetamine. "It's hard for us to combat cocaine usage because you can be a functioning addict but hold down a 9 -to -5 job. So it's hard for us to kind of get into the cocaine scene because it's not like meth- amphetamine where peo- ple are doing anything they have to do get it," he said. About 70 parents, teach- ers, healthcare profession- als and other members of the public attended the drug information forum held by the Huron County Youth Jus- tice Committee Program to learn about drug identifica- tion, the effects of drugs on the body, safety concerns and emerging drugs in the region, such as cocaine, which local police say is becom- ing more popular in Huron, but specifically Goderich. "It's hard for us to get into it," Miller said. "We're working on it." Verbal confrontations occur everywhere, not just Huron East In the Canadian government, whether it be federal, provin- cial, municipal or as far dis- tances reaching the Cabinet of the U.S., tension cultivates and verbal exchanges occur, at the municipality of Huron East council meeting October 18 that is exactly what happened. Conferring from sev- eral politicians, this is a regular happening. Not afraid to ever speak up, Tuckersmith Coun. Ray Chartrand spoke by a request from some of coun- cil; he addressed the Mayor of Huron East BernieMa- cLellan relating to an addi- tional initiative compara- ble to the Strategic Plan. It seemed uncertain and confus- ing, according to Chartrand. "We have never ever talked about this topic," Char- trand said to the mayor. "Who is leading this initia- tive? What's the end goal? What other municipalities have you been talking to?" 1 €ncmakcr cw,1 Make Your Own Beer, Wine, Coolers and Fruit Wine (darer hem er a7 morel) 84 Kingston St., GODERICH 524-2323 AW439553 • • "How's it being funded, does staff have to apply for a grant or some kind of pro- gram? We are very unclear." To MacLellan's knowledge, there was not much infor- mation given by Bluewa- ter and CAO of Huron East, Brad Knight said the same in a recent interview. "They're going to do a study on our behalf, they are just ask- ing for a list of things that we would like to have reviewed," explained MacLellan. "What would you want me to report, you're implying that something has been upheld and that's a Toad of crap." The Expositor learned from Huron -Bruce Conserva- tive MP Ben Lobb that compa- rable instances occur in Huron County and the House of Par- liament. Deliberations are part of the government as long as they are professional, he said. However he admitted some- times they can turn personal. "You are going to have good debates, carbon tax is one we are talking about and many others and that's goingto hap- pen," explained Lobb October 28 in a phone interview. "We have many disagreements, both in public and in camera, you know what, that's politics." "And sometimes you have to let the other bunch know that you are not going to be pushed around." November Half Hours rated the third best brewery in Canada Half Hours on Earth has not yet held the astral title for the most paramount craft beer on the planet, hold your breath though because the literally underground jewel of Sea - forth is not far from reaching that mind-boggling status. At a regional level the brewery came up short at the HMA's for the Innovative Product -a cat- egory Huron East's economic development officer called the "most competitive." Instead the local brewery hurled onto a provincial and national realm of a rather different theme. In accordance to Untappd, a popular beer rating review website, the micro brew- ery is comfortably sitting at third out of about 700 brewer- ies in the country with 2,516 votes - a 3.9 out of five stars. According to a Vimeo video, the owners of Half Hours, Kyle Teichert and Kristen Har- burn say about 90-95 per cent of their customers are from outside of Huron County. An impressive widespread appeal, seeing as the place is only open on Saturday. "In the end, it's about mak- ing beer we personally enjoy drinking," as stated on their Facebook page.

An undisclosed source said the episode caught his/her atten- tion when the alleged suspect was observed standing near Main Street and John Street, the man looked suspicious, "it, was weird," the witness said. After that, some back and forth yelling developed, then the alleged suspect ran to a white pickup truck, opened the driv- er's side door and began "rum- maging" through the vehicle. The witness said the police told the man three times, "put your hands where I can see them." The demands were unsuccessful. "Then they shot the man with a Taser, " the wit- ness said the man yelled in pain immediately, describ- ing the chain of events that unfolded last Thursday night. The suspect was charged with break and enter, dangerous opera- tion of a motor vehicle, mischief under $5000, uttering a threat, obstruction of a police officer, pos- session of a substance and an ir'tse= cure load (relating to his vehicle). Rollin Roaster celebrates their one-year milestone Scott Saunders Rollin Roaster celebrated their one-year mile- stone to the date on Novem- ber 18 as the crew prepared their usual Friday special, which is advertised during the week and virtually "sells - out" every time.
