County Road 12 designated
'Polka Memorial Hlghway' In
memory of fallen OPP officers
OGiaan Hundertmark
MI Agency
County Road 12, the road
north of Seaford' where both
Huron OPP Constable Vu
Pham and Constable David
Mounsey lost their lives, will be
designated as "Police Memo-
rial Highway" after a request
from the Huron OPP.
"The renaming of the road in
this fashion would ensure the
lives and sacrifices of those
officers are never forgotten,"
said Staff Sergeant RS. Johnson
in a letter to Huron County
council. "Those who visit or
pass through our community
would, while driving on this
roadway, recognize the profes-
sional recognition the signs
would present. Finally, this
memorialisation would further
strengthen our officers' bonds
with the members of our com-
munity and the officials that
serve us."
Huron County council's
committee of the whole agreed
last week to erect eight highway
dedication signs within the
road allowance, sharing the
cost 50/50 with the Huron OPP.
The county's share is approxi-
mately $2,800.
Public Works Director Dave
Laurie told councillors in a
report that the dedication signs
would not change the name of
County Road 12, which is
known as London Road, North
Line and Brussels Line as it
stretches from Highway 4 at
Kippen 63 kilometres to the
Huron/Bruce boundary.
Constable Vu Pham was
murdered last March "while
checking on the well being of
an individual in Huron East"
while Constable David Moun-
sey was killed four years ago "in
a motor vehicle collision while
he was responding to a call for
service," said Johnson in his
letter.
Johnson also pointed out
that Constable Bruce Crew was
killed during a high-speed pur-
suit on a sideroad in Goderich
Township in 1983.
"I am sure everyone would
agree that all three of these
jnen lost their lives in service to
' e citizens of Huron County,
while working to keep our com-
munity safe for us to live and
raise families," said Johnson.
Recorded vote deddes
severance
A 10-8 recorded vote by
Huron County council's com-
mittee of the whole last
Wednesday approved a sever-
ance of a farmhouse from a
Bluewater farm, under the con-
dition that a dispute over the
distance of the northern prop-
erty line from a stream be nego-
tiated between the property
owners and the Ausable Bay-
field Conservation Authority.
Tom Prout, general manager
of the ABCA, appeared at
1 lumn County council's Feb. 16
committee of the whole meet-
ing to point out that the ABCA
has identified the watercourse
on the north lot line as hazard-
ous since it would be subject to
erosion and flooding and wants
the lot line to be 30 metres from
the creek.
Huron County planner Craig
Metzger added that during a
Bluewater council meeting, the
ARCA and the landowners had
briefly agreed to a 10 -metre
setback but the owners,
Steven Miller and Lynn Hay-
garth, changed their minds.
After lengthy debate about
whether or not the creek should
be considered hazardous,
councillors voted to consent to
the severance under the condi-
tion that the north lot line be
set in a way that satisfies the
ABCA, letting the two parties
work out an acceptable
setback.
Voting in favour were Coun.
Brian Barnum (Central l luron),
Coun. George Robertson
(South Huron), Coun. Art Vers-
teeg (llowick), Coun. John
Grace (Goderich), Coun. Tyler
Hesse) (Bluewater), Coun.
