OPP give winter driving advice

The 17th annual Centralia Swine
Research Update will be held on
Wednesday, Jan. 28 at the Kirkton-
Woodham Community Centre.
Several areas of important swine
research and other current topics of
interest to the swine industry, will
be reviewed. As well, the written
proceedings of the program will
include several topics that cannot
be presented due to time
constraints.
Feature presentations will be
made by Dr. Douglas Powell,
Assistant Professor, Department of
Food Science, University of
Guelph, and Mr. Stewart Stone,
Chief Financial Officer and
Director of Marketing for
Heartland Livestock Services,
Regina, Saskatchewan.
Powell will addiess the topic,
"Consumer Demands for Safe Food
and the HACCP Response - Is it
Enough?" His discussion will
explain how consumer concerns are
driving on-farm quality assurance,
and how to translate this quality
assurance into increased consumer
confidence.
"Something PIG on the Horizon"
is the topic Stone will discuss. He
will review Heartland Livestock's
recent diversification into large-
scale pork production as part of the
extensive expansion occurring in
the Western Canada pork industry.
Other topics on the program are
"FANVENT Ventilation Computer
Software", "High-Oil Corn for
Swine'', "Trouble Shooting A.I.
Problems", "Improved Average
Daily Gain Using Levamisole",
"Post-Weaning Multisystem
Wasting Disease", "Provincial
Packers' Viewpoint on Meat
Inspection", "Serological
Profiling", "Ten Ways to be
Proactive in Planning for Increased
Swine Production in Smaller
Herds" and "Swine Medicines in
Ontario".
For $30 per person, participants
will enjoy the informative program,
be able to interact with the
speakers, receive a copy of the
proceedings and consume a hot
pork meal along with refreshments
during the day.

Living in Huron County, resi-
dents must cope with inconsistent
weather patterns and hazardous
conditions.
To aid in daily travel, the Huron
County OPP have announced three
new weather and road information
numbers as well as a few tips for
safe driving.
OPP advise that, no matter what
time of day drivers should take the
elements into consideration and
drive accordingly.
When confronted by intense sail,
fog, snow, slush, freezing rain or
blowing snow, police advise
drivers to watch their speed and
increase the stopping distance to
prevent collisions.
Driving too fast for road condi-
tions is a major contributor to
motor vehicle collisions in the win-
ter, said Community Services Offi-
cer, Senior Constable John
Marshall with the Goderich detach-
ment. A speed limit of 90 km/hr is
for normal weather and road condi-
tions. Snow, ice and slush change
those conditions, therefore requir-
ing a change in driving habits, he
said.
Though keeping headlights on
during the day will not allow the
driver to see better, it will allow the
vehicle to be seen, particularly in
whiteouts and fog.
Headlights must o on during
rain, snow storms and blowing
snow, including whiteouts and fog,
as well as one half hour before sun-
set and one half hour after sunrise,
Marshall stresses.
When the weather deteriorates
and roads close, residents are
advised that information may be
heard on CKNX 920, AM/102 FM
and CFPL 980 AM litho.
The public is asked not to call the
OPP for further information but
one of the three numbers now
available.
For Huron, Perth, Grey, Bruce
and Wellington Counties, call 519-
524-1593 (Goderich).
Information for Southwestern
Ontario call be obtained from 519-
271-8321 (Stratford).
Provincial road and weather
reports are available at 1-800-265-
5407.
