OPP give winter driving advice By Doug Richards Swine Advisor Clinton Field Omce 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.
