Former resident dies after slipping on ice A night at a Bradford pub ended in tragedy for a 21-year-old former Georgetown man over the weekend. Shayne Pepper, of Barrie, and other members of his family were at The Main Eatery & Bar, located on Holland Street West, on Saturday night to hear his mother play in a band. According to South Simcoe police, he stepped outside around 1:30 a.m. early Sunday morning to speak with friends when he slipped on the ice. Pepper fell backwards, striking his head on the pavement. He was rushed to Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, suffering from head injuries and was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit. He succumbed to his injuries Tuesday morning. South Simcoe police Staff Sgt. John Van Dyke called it a "terrible accident," adding that meltwater from a snowbank at the curb had spread onto the sidewalk and then froze into slick ice. "This young gentleman slipped on a SHAYNE patch of ice. It's very PEPPER tragic," Van Dyke said. Officers interviewed witnesses and found no evidence of any horseplay or pushing that could have contributed to the fall, he said, adding Pepper had been drinking that evening. "We've ruled out foul play. It's a very tragic accident," said Van Dyke. Pepper is the son of Diane Pepper and Mike Pepper, stepson of Dale Cooze and Deanna Jackson, and brother of Dustin, Shannon and Aaron. He is grandson of Barbara Lucas, Ralph Melton, Joan Pepper and the late Gordon Pepper, nephew of Cheryl Westlake, Larry Melton, Laura Stewart, Kim Hardcastle, Dianne Pepper, Alex Pepper, Jennifer Pepper and Helen-Lee Meredith. Visitation will be at J.S. Jones & Son Funeral Home Friday from 3 to 5 p.m., and 7 to 9 p.m., and a celebration of Pepper's life will be held in the chapel Saturday at 2 p.m. Cremation has taken place. --Metroland Media Group with files from Lisa Tallyn, staff writer Acton vet clinic not opposed No one attended a public meeting Monday about changing zoning and the Official Plan to allow a vet clinic just outside Acton.
