Goderich fights skunks
, The population of
Goderich IS being plagued by
a rather smelly problem -.
skunks.
The animals. 'usually found
in more rural ark is,,,, have
taken up residence under the •
verandahs of . some of • the
town's • 'older ' home and
horneoWnei.s are at a loss on
just howl to remove the
unwanted visitors from their
property. •
The skunk~ havecven been
spotted roaming the town
square, council members are
investigating setting a •
bountyon the animals which
will be paid to. local trappers:
Originally some members
orcouncif said the skunks
were e ,..hotrieown er ' s pro:
blest, the same way rats and
'other pests must be attended
to by the individual. •
However, Mayor Deb
.Shewfelt said • council has
been receiving so many calls
about the animals that they
couldn't. help dealing - with
the problem.
In addition to the annoying'
scent . Of the skunks, sonic
people arc concerned that,
the animals are among, the
prime carriers of rabies.
• Dr. Thompson, of the
Agriculture Canada. Health
of Animals branch office
inSeaforth; 'said.oncof the
• reasons rabid skunks arc so
dangerous is the' fact they
can spread the disease for up
to three weeks without
showing any annyr of, the
symptoms of 'rabies.
Dr. Thompson said skunks
are a nocturnal animal and it'
one is seen wandering during
the day, it may be rabid.
Although rabies are
normally spread by an
aninial biting, another animal
or - human, Dr. Thompson
said theoretically it is pos-.
sible f'-„to 'contact rabies
through the spray of a
diseased skunk.
• In the past year, Dr.
Thompson's office in-
vestigated 38 cases of rabies
in Huron County. None of the
rabid skunks came from the
inunediate town of Goderich.
Dr. Thompson said the last
rabies case investigated was
a rabid cattlebeast which
died on June 5.
The last serious outbreak
of rabies •locally was last
spring in East Wawanosh
and Ashfield townships.
Mrs:. Storey is 90,
family gets- history'
It's 'not everybody wno has a boot
written in their honour. But then, it's not
everybody who has a' 90th birthday.
Mrs. Elizabeth Storey experiended both
honours last week when ,members of -her,
family, friends and relatives gathered at
the hOme of her daughter, Mrs. Oeo.
Wasson, R.R.3, Walton, to extend
congratulations on the birthday and to read
the history of the StofeY,famity conipiled by
a granddaughter Laurena Storey.
Mrs. Storey, the former Elizabeth Ann
McLeod, daughter of John Sinclair McLeod
and Sarah Letitia McMann of Ethel, Was
born there August 21, 1888. On October
11, 1916, she was married to John Henry

time" they occupied lot 30 N. half

concession 6 where. they remained until
retiring to Walton in 1947. Mr. Storey died
in 1959 but Mrs. Storey continued to live in
Walton until moving to Seaforth. For some
time now, she has resided with her
daughter Clara, Mrs. -Elmer Dale ` in
Clinton.

Intact and neutered male eats are often
presented .to vet erinary clinics showing
signs of strain inr!andd istress. On palpation
of the abdomen a eery -large distended
bladder is discovered. These "torn" cats
are suffering from a very common
syndrome' called "Feline Urethral -
Obstruction", which .means,; That the
passage of urine from the bladder is
blocked.
The urethral opening in the' Penis of
male cats can be quite small and this fact,
coupled with the predisposition of cats to
develop a sandy type of sediment in their
'urine is.the reason they become plugged so
ftequently y. t`Plugs" develop due to a '
cormplek interaction of many factors
including' lack of fluids, stagnation of
urine, alkaline 'urine and the presence of
urine crystals. Other factors such as .stress,
high ash diets; high magnesium content of
diet, bacteria and , viruses arc • also
implicated in t) is disease.
Treatment
Treatment can be difficult and the
prognosis depends on hoW quickly the' cat °
is discovered and taken to a veterinary
clinic. Generally, the first step in allevi-
ating the problem is to pass a catheter up
In g'ood health despite her years, Mrs.
, Storey continues to he interested in
activities of her family and the community
but recently 'has experienced some dit.
ficulty with her Pvesight.
At the oirthaay party Mr's. 'Storey
greeted the many guests who were present
and received dozens of messages of
congratulations,. Sher-thoroughly` enjoyed
the event and was able to receive mote
visitors. who called at the Dale home in
Clinton the following day. •
Mrs. Storey has • four daughters and
seven sons and they •all -were at the
birthday party as well as many of her
grandchildren. There are 51' grandchildren-1.
77 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-
grandchildren.
Her children are: Kathleen. Mrs.

the urethrta 'to the bladder and drain the
distended urine-filled bladder. The bladder
is then flushed with', sterile saline and
sometimes with antibiotics.
The catheter may be sutured in place for
a few days, thus keeping the bladder
empty and allowing it to shrink back to a
normal size.
'After the cat is nursed back to health,
surgery may be considered to enlarge the
urethral opening to help prevent the cat
from becoming obstructed again.
Prevention ' '
Other means of preventing a recurrence
include increasing water. intake and
encouraging frequent urination. Fresh
water should be always available. Tomato
juice may also be used to increase fluid
intakeand help maintain urine acidity. Dry
foods and whole fish should be avoided.
The cats diet should be moist or 'canned
food containing 3.5 per cent ash or. less.
Antibiotics and urinary acidifiers may be
needed for quite a while after the cat
returns home.
Most importantly, the cat owner should
he aware that a recurrence is quite possible
and if"it _does happen, the situation ,should
be rectified as quickly as possible.
