"We think it's a perfect location for our business," says -owner Dave Dalzell. Trailcorp Inc., a distributor of trailers made by Jamco in Brucefield, will be closing in Brucefield and moving its 10 employees to the new location. Trailcorp will be located on the first floor of the former car dealership, while Woodway Sign Centre, which is now located in the country between Clinton and Goderich, will move into the second floor. Dalzell plans to hire two former Hart site new employees, one for each business. Trailcorp sells horse, livestock, cargo and flatbed trailers. The new location will offer an indoor showroom and a complete service department where trailers can be fixed and cleaned.' It will also offer complete pick-up truck detailing, including striping, running boards, boxliners and trailer hitches. Woodway Sign Centre offers complete commercial and retail signs, including truck lettering and illuminated signs. Dalzell says the sign business should open during the first week of March with the trailer sales lot opening the second week. An open house is planned for sometime in April. Drivers can keep meat if they, kill a deer FROM Page 1 the close proximity of the Hullet swamp. and o conservation area just a little more than a mile north of the highway. But when travelling any stretch of highway near woodtots, Shropshall advises people to keep a lookout. He said drivers need to slow down in these areas and watch for deer's eyes to catch their headlight beams. He also warns that if there's one deer and it has crossed the road, there will likely be others. "They don't travel singly. As soon as you see one, there'll be more than one." he said. Dusk and dawn arc the most common times of day to see them and if they travel, it will most often be at night or those times. Shropshall said they seldom travel in the day. Right now, the Ministry of Natural Resources estimates there are•about 8,000 deer in Huron County but specific figures are difficult to generate. They look at aspects like the number of deer killed in the annual deer:hunts. "We have a very high deer population. It's probably higher than in all history," said Mike Malhiot, area biologist with the MNR in Clinton.

He said in the 1970s, there. were relatively low deer populations but since controlled deer hunts began in the 1980s, they've noticed a growing population. It has prompted the MNR to,increase the number of hunting license that are issued each fall for the controlled hunt. Three thousand licences were issued for the last hunt. In the last couple years, Malhiot said about 1,000 Board spends X350,000 on Y2K computer issues BY TIM CUMMING Mitchell Advocate Staff The Avon Maitland District School Board has spent more than $350,000 on computers in the past few months, partly to ensure they're free of a Year 2000 computer glitch which threatens hardware and software in older systems, according to Janet Baird -Jackson,. Superintendent of Corporate Operations and Information Technology. The public school board is part of a consortium looking into the computer problem which includes other school boards. The different members are sharing information about the computer bug. she said. "The more we investigate the more find it's really insidious." • The provincial government has provided -no special funding to deal with the Y2K computer problem, she said. • The biggest concern for the school boards is whether the computer hug will affect the supply of heat and electricity. - "(The problem) isn't so much our internal system but our outside suppliers." Other school boards have extended Christmas holidays to give them time to deal with Year 2000 computer problems. The public school board for Perth and Huron hasn't yet decided if it will do the same. "As an executive council we've discussed it," said Baird - Jackson. "We have not come to any resolution yet." Many of the computers which were purchased.would have been replaced anyway, according to the superintendent, and most of them are in the schools.

But deer population levels have not yet prompted them to increase the number of deer a hunter can kill to two. Current license allow each hunter to kill one deer. "I've got a general feeling the population is starting to stabilize somewhat," he said. Malhiot said there arc no specific areas in the county where deer are more common. • He .said the population is spread out across the county's wooded areas. "Typically, a deer is a woodland creature," he said. And those arc the areas where drivers need to take SHURRIE PHOTO the most caution, although they should always be alert for deer on the roads. What people might not realize is that, if there is more than $1,000 in damage. they have to report the accident to the OPP. And anyonekllling a deep must also notify the Ministry of Natural Resources. No matter the damage, if there are injuries, the incident has to be reported to the police. What they also might not know is that the driver is entitled to the deer meat. Shropshall said there arc people who have left their names at the detachment willing to take the meat if drivers don't claim it. • SEAFORTH IN BROKER LTD.
