Box 21 Thedford, Ontario Solicitor for the Executors 30:31:32c 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. results ? you wait . you went 1 classifieds .

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.
