Ministry of Health wants compulsory rabies vaccination in Huron County B Y BOB MURPHY The ministry of health has requested the Huron County Board of Health to initiate a preliminary proposal for a compulsory rabies vaccination program. The board informed Huron County council of the ministry approach during a report present- ed Thursday during the last session of the current council. Such a program would include an arrangement with the Huron County veterinarians and it is estimated that the preliminary BY BOB MURPHY Huron County council learned Thursday that the cost of its insurance program has increased nearly 100 per cent. Beginning Jan. 1, 1986, the county will pay a "tentative" annual premium of $102,292. In comparison to the 1985 premium of $55,000, this year's insurance costs have nearly doubled. News of the premium hike was reported to council by its executive committee which recommended renewing the insurance coverage at the new premium. The acting executive committee chairman, Coun. William Elston (Morris reeve) told council the major portion of the overall increase was in its liability cover- age. In spite of the hefty increase, Elston said the county "was very fortunate to have our insurance go up only by this amount." The committee in reviewing the new rates as proposed by its agent, heard of cases where the liability coverage rates had been increased by considerably larger percent- ages. Coun. Bill Mickle (Exeter reeve) said some municipalities might be facing increases as high as 300 per Cardiff Continued from page 5 There may also be a market for grain bins and aerators in the future. He is sometimes asked, Mr. Cardiff said, what all this talk of trade with China means right here in Huron county but any trade in Canadian agriculture will benefit everyone eventually. In addition he can see possibility of sales of road graders from Goderich or farm milling systems from Gorrie. Twinning of Canadian provinces and Chinese provinces has taken place. There has also been twinn- ing of universities between the two countries, something he sees as beneficial to Canada in the long run because Chinese young people educated in Canada will go home and take up positions of reponsi- bility and hold Canada in favour because of their familiarity with this country. The Canada-China agriculture committee was also discussing possibilities of further trade in the livestock sector. Last spring the two countries signed a health agreement for trade in livestock, dairy cattle semen poultry and some plant quarantine arrange- ments. While in China he had a senior government official approach him about the availability of ginseng from Canada, a crop now grown in small quantities in Ontario but with potential for much growth. "I never thought of China being a market for ginseng grown in Ontario," he said, "but just being there we get those opportunities." "People say what's going to happen down the road but if we establish a good relationship, and we have a good relationship with China, that we'll continue to be favoured to any country in the world to do business with. We still have to be competitive but we certainly are favoured." phase of preparing the program could take up to two months. Formal submission for board approval is expected to take place sometime in January, council was told. The board acknowledges that one of the drawbacks to such a program is the difficulty in policing and enforcing its regulations. Huron County Medical Officer of Health H. R. Cieslar told council that although the species with the highest frequency of rabies has been the fox, the most human cent for liability coverage and pointed to a "judiciary system run amok" in its granting of awards in liability suits as the cause for the skyrocketing rates. "I hope that in 1986 the new council will take a serious look at the problem and perhaps try to find some way of petitioning the government for assistance," Mic- kle said. exposure to the disease comes from "companion animals -- the family dog or cat." Dr. Cieslar said this factor could be "greatly controlled through a program of compulsory immuniza- tion for family pets yet he allowed that such a program would be difficult to police. "It would not be the intention of the health unit to police the program," he said, "itwould be an almost impossible task for our staff with the responsibilities they have now." Coun. Jack Stafford (Howick reeve) suggested that "going to all the trouble of drawing up a compulsory program that you are not going to be able to police is just wasting your time." Coun. Dave Johnston (Bayfield reeve) pointed out another pro- blem area should the program be instituted to include all dogs and cats. "What about the farmer," Johnston asked, "are we going to force him to bring in all of his cats -- field cats and barn cats -- and how do we do that."
