Notice first issued on Wednesday, September 21, 2011. County eyes salt storage lots with Sifto Salt Cheryl Heath OMI Agency The County of Huron is ready to cut a deal with Sifto Canada Inc. so that it has a place to store its salt in the months to come. At the behest of the company, which is still grappling to find ways to bestmeet salt demands following an Aug. 21 F3 tor- nado that devastated much of its opera- dons, county public works director Dave Laurie asked county council to consider leasing the company what is known as the Grand Bend patrol yard, though the site was about to hit the auction block. While some concern was expressed about the condemned storage dome on site, Laurie confirmed the company would not require that building. "They really need storage or they will have to lay miners off," said Coun. Deb Shewfelt (Goderich), who supported the request. "It would be good if You can help them out." When Laurie noted truck traffic in the impacted area might be heavier than usual for the "short term," Donn. Jim Diet- rich (South Huron) says it is quite likely the impacted residents will understand the need. Fire safety booklets help families The Goderich Fire Department is once again giving local Grade 3 stu- dents the opportunity to participate in an educational fire safety program designed to prevent fire -related injuries and fatalities. This will be the fifth time that the Goderich Fire Department has committed to bringing the safety pro- gram to area kids. :Produced by Gateway Community Safety Net, Fire Safety for Kids is a 116 - page book that features information on how to avoid fire, plan an escape route from your home and .what to do if fire breaks out. It also offers health and first aid information, along with important safety tips for parents, teachers, and babysitters. Also included is an educa- tional DVD that features animated char- acters, interactive games, and quizzes. It connects to the Community Safety Net web site, where kids can enter online contests and win great prizes. The materials have been provided thanks to the generous support of local businesses and organizations. An excel lent resource for parents, the programs contain important information .and websites for More help. House fires are the third leading cause of death among children -- mostly as a result of smoke inhalation. Kids start 30% of these fires. Such sober- ing statistics illustrate the need for fire safety education among young people. 4/1 t' .. • r • ie ♦ rr . tr . ! .111.441k 41.111, . . .-. •=f'.i.... - ,,...rs.A. r... +..s..s...... ..
