Sheriff doesn't tote gun here
Huron County has a
sheriff. But he doesn't
wear a tin badge or
engage in high speed
chases. And although he
is permitted to carry a
gun, he seldom does.
While speaking at a
meeting of the Wingham
Business Association
recently, Huron County's
sheriff, Fred Jewell,
dispelled all television
and movie myths about
sheriffs.
He explained that his
office is an ancient one
with its roots in the
beginnings of the English
Common Law. Once upon
a time, the sheriff was the
chief officer of a town and
his position was one of
great authority.
However, the sheriff's
powers were somewhat
reduced when the Nor-
mans introduced jury
trials.
In Ontario, the sheriff's
office is the oldest office
in the province except for.
the justice of the peace,
Mr. Jewell pointed out.
School,
news::...
very -long but-each-iay-it
In Huron County, the
sheriff is a court official
who enforces the orders
of the court, primarily in
civil actions. He is a
peace officer under the
Criminal Code but in
practice, he is seldom
called upon to make
arrests.
One of the sheriff's
main duties, is looking
after court security, said
Mr. Jewell who is also the
registrar and county
court clerk. Other duties
involve collecting debts
under a writ of execution,
which allows the seizure
of property or enforcing
evictions through writs of.
possession issued by the
court. A sheriff is the only
official with the authority
to carry out an eviction,
pointed out Mr. Jewell.
The sheriff also has
responsibility for the
selection of jurors to hear
civil and criminal cases
and frequently is em-
ployed in the service of
legal documents when an
affadivit is required_ to
prove that the document
has been served per-
sonally.
Unlike earlier times, a
sheriff no longer has
authority over jails,
though he may still be
called upon from time to
time to transport
prisoners, particularly
from one jurisdiction to
another.
' A sheriff is required to
use tact and diplomacy
and relies heavily on the
goodwill of his staff, Mr.
Jewell explained.
Seaforth meters knocked
SEAFORTH - If the
recent ratepayers'
meeting was any in-
dication, the major issue
facing Seaforth voters in
the November 10 election
will be the question of
what should be done
about the Main Street
parking meters.
The parking meter
issue was introduced by
resident JimKelly who
asked what the an-
ticipated revenue from
the meters was and
whether the income they
provide is worthwhile.
Mr. Kelly said he thought
M ----
1 ain Streetmerchants-
were losing customers
because of the meters.
Seaforth Councillor
Henry Mero explained
that the expected revenue
was $8,000, but after costs
were deducted the net
got longer and longer.
Finally the last day of
practice, it was real long.
We didn't always run
though. Some days we
had games in the gym -
and the day before the
meet we saw a film about
cross country. By Janice
Moffat - Grade 5.
At school the practice
was fun
Without any very hard
run,
Although at the meet
There were some wet
feet.
It wasn't that hard to be
done. By Bonnie Turner
Grade 7. °
Cross country is but
when we have a long run.
It's my best activity. I'd
like to be in it next year.
By Tricia Cooper Grade
3.
The people are nice in
cross country and you get
to die with your, friends.
By Sherri Chappel Grade

When I started prac-
ticing this fall I couldn't
run all the way but I kept
getting better the more I
worked at it. By Debbie
Harnett Grade 6.
We worked hard for
about three weeks and it
was great that our school
did Id well. By John
Parke Gr. 5.
total would be about
$2,658.
"People come here to
shop, spend money, then
they come out and have to
spend another $2," said
Mr. Kelly. "I don't think
that's very friendly."
The town has three
years remaining in its
contract for the meters
and Clerk Jim Crocker
added it would cost about
$7,000 to pick up the
balance if the agreement
w ere terminated .
•
Mayor John Sinnamon
told the ratepayers that if
the proper presentation
were made to council, the
matter of removing, the
meters would be given
serious consideration.
