THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT —
- Health rtiolor concern at-the IPM:
•
Any exh• ,it• has lots of
food,, t e • s and goodies of all
ailable and the Inter-
, io I Plowing Match is no
e* •tion to the rule.
A. the Match September
26-30 there will be over 50.
caterers, As well, man of
the exhibitors will be off ring
cool drinks to those wa kin
the seven long streets iewin
• its.
All that foo and drink
brings the Huron County
Health Unit in co-operation
with the Health and, Water
Committee of the plowing
tch into the picture.,
h the, expected crowds
of over. 50,000 : per day
arrivingithere will have to be
plenty of washroom facilities
and Water on the site.
The recent polio scare
means people will b< even
more cautious and cone ned
than usual about the cl
liness of boil., food han filing
Maces and washrooms.
Over a year ago local
health officials were working
with the Health and Water
committee making recom-
mendations as to what -was
required to protect people
Ate attend the match..
Ed Harrison. director of
Palk Health Inspections for
Huron County Health Unit,
says the main concern of the
unit is to provide safe
drinking water and sanitary
washroom facilites,
#1 Concern
The number one concern is
the water. The location of the
site means the match can use
VVingham water. Pipes are
bieng laid from • VVinghiM
and health authorities will be
on hand to fhrsh out the pipes
'th disinfectant before the
st water is run • through
them and then to take routine
water checks •-to test for
eleanlinesS, .":. ,
Water is usally either
tucked in by. tanker truck
Wm the nearest location or a
well is drilled for the 0.C-
casion.Both are either not
perfectly sanitary pr ek-
pensive. ..,. •
The Health and' Water
Committee headed by Doug
'McNeil will be on the site
helping install the water
system,
The chairman has allotted
all of September to work
involys d match.
The other • comittec
members are Norman Dorsi,
Clinton; Jim—Maii, Brussels,
aiff Bray. Ethel, Ed Har-
rison from the Huron County
Health Unit and Jim McCaul,
Goderich.
Roughly 250 portable
washrooms will he on the site
and they are aptly, called
"Johnny on the Spots" In-
spectors on the site will
check these facilities for
cleanliness and they are
hsinfectd daily.
With the basics taken care
of there are the caterers to
consider. The last thing
anyone would want is a • case
of food poisoning.
Inspectors are available to
speak to any groups catering
at the match but all are.
advised Ito avoid serving
hazardous foods that cannot
be heated or refrigerated
properly.
"A majority' of them
(caterers) are old hands or
repeat operators and have
been with the event for a
number of years and are
good with complying with the
regulations," Mr. Harrsion
says. "They know what is
expected of them."
Every caterer must comply
with the same' regulations as
any restaurant..
Rest Areai
At a previous meeting the
health unit authorities sug-
gested that rest areas, be
designated for mothers and
children and older people
who may need some place to
sit down after* walking great
tfistances.
As Mr. Harrison says.
"You consider the pa'rent
who 'carries around a ', 30
ifOlind child and htey can get
pretty tired.". • .
But the plowing match,
-committees have limited
space and noted that people
could sit at the tents where
caterers were serving or
.maybe exhibitors could have
something to offer.
"It Would be something to
consider for other years,"
says M.r, Harrison. "Maybe
a county could sponsor a rest
area."
Another first for this year.
is the area allotted at _the
match to campers and
Trailers.' The area is,located
'south of the tent ;city. For a '
foe exhibitors., workers and
people planning to stay more
than one day, can camp near,
the site and hopefully avoid..
• the frustration of not 'finding .
aplace to stay over night and
traffic snarls. •
In Shift(
Local health authorities
will'be on duty at the match •
all day every day until it
closes in the evening,
operating in two shifts. The'
seven inspectors and two
,. students will work out of a
bialer as an office on the''
site. Any complaints about
unsanitary conditions, food. '
water, garbage' can be
directed-to them.
The first inspectors 'will be
on the job protecting aliC
public two weeks' before the--
' first day when the water
pipes, are laid:
As. a final summary .Ed
Harrison said that "there
will be complete coverage by
the. Huron County Health
'fin in all areas. We.will be
working closely with the
committee which has been
coloperating one ,, hundred
per cent."
THE INSPECTORS' -- Maryanne and Patrick
Moylah of R.R.,5, Seaforth and Billy Kinahan ,
their guest from Wingham, may not have been
the official judges at the Huron County. Plowing
Match but they still know a dood furrow
when they see one.
