New central
OPP dispatch
Radio dispatchers in Lon-
don will direct the moves of
OPP officers in St. Thomas,
Dutton, Glencoe, Tillsonburg,
Woodstock, Strathroy and
Lucan by year-end.
Insp. Robert Johansen,
assistant to the director of the
telecommunications branch
at OPP headquarters in
Toronto, said Wednesday the
switch is part of a $20 -million
plan for centralized police
dispatch in each of the 16 OPP
districts.
He expects the hew system
to be in place in London
before year-end and by
January in Chatham, which is
another district headquarters
for the OPP in Southwestern
Ontario. He said the new
system, being setup first in
Southern Ontario, should be
operating across the province
by the end of 1983.
tinder the system, the public
•,vill continue to call their local
OPP detachment but if no one
is there, the call will go direct-
ly to the district's central
dispatch centre.
Johansen said some
smaller detachment offices
are expected to cut their
hours under the new system,
but a decision has not been
made on which ones. Cutting
hours will allow the officers
normally staffing the station
to work on patrolling duties,
he said. Affected civilian
dispatchers are being offered
jobs at the central dispatch
centres and no one is ex-
pected to lose a job,. he said.
The system will mean
faster response time for
police, Johansen said. Every
OPP vehicle in the province
will receive a new radio
system with access to as
many as six channels. At pre-
sent, the OPP uses a single
channel across Ontario which
is no longer considered ade-
quate. If one officer is using
it, another nearby has to wait
until the conversation ends
before placing a call.

QUEST FOR DETAIL - George Wickham of RR 1, Lucan, painstakingly adds detail
to a miniature carved bird. The result is a life-size, highly -detailed carving of the
bird. Wickham odds detail with a converted soldering iron, actually burning the detail
into the wood.
Meticulous wood carver
creat�s lifelike birds
Wood carver George
Wickham spends hours and
hours and hours in his quest
for detail in his work.
Wickham, of RR 1 Lucan,
makes his living in the fami-
ly business, Wickham Televi-
sion stores in London, but his
hobby is carving intricately
detailed birds.
A fanatic for detail,
Wickham doesn't settle for a
carving that looks like a bird.
"When my bird is done, it
should fly away," Wickham
quips.
A basic shape is carved in
basswood and when smooth-
ed, each and every feather is
burned into the surface with
a sharpened soldering iron.
The result is raised detail
that Wickham compares to a
three dimentional pen and ink
drawing. Every line is mark-
ed on the carving.
While the actual carving
process takes hours and
hours, Wickham also spends
hours on his research work.
On ten acres of land near
Lucan, Wickham keeps a
variety of ducks, 'geese,
chickens and even a pair of
wild turkeys.
If one of his birds happens
to die, Wickham will make
detailed acetate overlay trac-
ings on the bird. The
diagrams record size and
shape of the bird in various
positions, note color patterns
and the flow of feathers and
textures.
Wickham has a portfolio of
sketches and notes for each
bird . he carves. The
sculptures are life size and
Wickham says with his
methods of research and car-
ving, there are no mistakes
in detail either.
Wickham's quest for detail
keeps a couple of taxider-
mists busy too. Numerous ex-
amples of mounted birds and
sections of birds are used as
research guides. The stuffed
birds can be used to check the
anatomical positions and the
surface detail of the carved
birds.
The wood carver has
friends who take bird
photographs for him and he
collects any picture books on
birds he can find.
But, "you can't just open a
book and get the detail you re-
quire, "Wickham says. He il-
lustrates his point by showing
a close-up picture of a small
bird. The head and eye are in
focus but details of feathers
and wings are not clear. At
least six pictures from vary-
ing angles are required.
Wickham said he has
always had an interest in
birds and began carving by
making duck decoys.
He worked for a time in a
silk screen shop but most of
his art training is "strickly
school of hard knocks and
observation."
Wickham also has an in-
terest in Indian wood carv-
ings. A back trail at his pro-
perty is dotted with Iroquois
or North West Coast style
masks and totems.
Wickham used to have a
cottage up near Wiarton and
at one time ran a shop to sell
wood carvings in Wiarton.
He points to a totem that
was the figure head on his cot-
tage and points to another
taller totem pole carved from
a tree that had to be cleared
when the cottage was built.
Wickham still carves some
of the larger pieces. His
Christmas decorations -- the
Three Wise Men carved in
stumps with a chainsaw --now
decorate his garden.
His wood carving has gone
through a variety of interests
and media. His home is
decorated with bird carvings,
some soapstone work, a carv-
ed antler and wooden carved
walking sticks sit in the front
hall.
"I work with my mouth and
brain all day," Wickham says
of his job in the television
store. He explains he relaxes
with his carving and hard
physical work around his
house.
Moving to Lucan several
years ago proved to be an ad-
vantage to his carving.
Snowed -in during a
January storm, Wickham had
very little woodin the house to
carve a large bird, so he
started one of the smaller
styles. The small birds "are
a real love now'" Wickham
says.
Wickham is also surprised
by the prices collectors are
willing to pay for the small
highly detailed carvings.
He noted a duck decoy us-
ed to sell for about $75 to $150
which is the price the small
birds start at. People will pay
$300 without blinking an eye
Wickham says.
He plans to show his work
at craft shows in the region
and may try some com-
petitive carving. •
Wickham said he was think-
ing of perhaps opening
another shop to sell the carv-
ings and may offer cor-
respondence courses on wood
Summer fly control methods
Well. drained yards and
clean, dry pens and barns
which do not provide
breeding places for flies on
the farm are the first line of
defence against these in-
sects.
"Good fly control depends
on eliminating places where
adult flies rest and feed and
where maggots hatch and
develop," says Dr. Jim
Jowsey.
"Chemicals should need to
be used only in problem
areas such as fence edges,
eaves, doorways and
manure storage areas," the
specialist with Saskat-
chewan Agriculture's
animal industry branch
says.
The two species of flies
which are most often a
problem in Ontario,
the common house fly ana
the stable fly, each prefer
slightly different conditions
for breeding and feeding.
While the house fly prefers
manure, wet bedding,
spoiled feed and dead
animals, the stable fly
prefers strawy manure,
spilled feeds, old hay piles
and straw bedding. Both
types of flies like to rest in
tall grass and weeds.
Therefore, removing
• manure and cultivating it
into the soil promptly keeping
carving techniques.
Most of his carving work is
done in the winter Wickham
says, as much of his time in
the summer is spent planting
trees, doing yard work and
just enjoying the outdoors.
The major cost in the carv-
ing is the costs of the wood. A
six inch by six inch by three
foot beam of basswood costs
about $50 and is hard to find.
This piece will be good for
three large birds and several
smaller ones, Wickham said.
Wickham uses Japanese
style carving tools which are
designed for the user to hold
close to the blade for finer
detail.
The finished carving is then
painted to authentic colors
and patterns, glass eyes or
tiny beads are put in and the
bird is mounted on a base.
The birds are generally carv-
ed in one piece, including the
tongue on the robin Wickham
is currently carving.
Feet are made of wire and
putty.
But Wickham says, there is
just no way around the time
spent in research and detail-
ing a carving.
Often in the summer, when
he is outside working on
something else, Wickham
says he can hear a little voice
saying "Make sawdust".
grass and weeds in far-
myards trimmed, cleaning
up spilled grain and
removing dead birds and
animals eliminate the
conditions that attract both
species.
Several insecticides are
available for fly control.
Permethrin, sold underthe
brand names Ectiban,
Sentinel and Sanbar give
good control and may be
used to spray walls, ceilings,
stalls and stanchions.
Malathion may also be used
to spray walls, ceilings,
buildings. . Dimethoate
(Cygon or Logor) and
Exthion (Baytex) are useful
on manure piles and
stagnant pools, but must not
be used inside buildings.
"Several hazards are
present whenever in-
secticides are used and one
of the most insidious is flies
can develop resistance to the
insecticide if they are ex-
posed to it often," Jowsey
says.
"To prevent this
resistance developing,
switch insecticides every
year," he says.
Insecticides are dangerous
poisons too. Whenever they
are used, precautions are
necessary to keep them from
contaminating feed, water,
milk, and feeding and
milking equipment. Those
who mix and apply in-
secticides should follow
manufacturer's instructions
concerning protective
clothing and should wash
thoroughly after handling
the chemicals.
