Vet opens new clinic By Rod Hilts On August 22, a com- bination small animal hospital -grooming and boarding kennel was opened just north of Blyth. Proprietor Robin G. Wiley, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine says she started "Huron Veterinary Services and Golden Harvest Ken- nels" because local people expressed an interest in the service. "My husband Peter has worked for the Blyth Veterinary Services (larger animals) for about a year. When I first started coming up here, people requested that I start up the business," said Dr. Wiley. Before coming to Blyth, Dr. Wiley worked at Clap- pison's Corners, north of Hamilton, where she worked with mainly small animals and some horses. The business she worked for was also the commissioned WANTED TO BUY 1 Girl Guide Uniform. Size 10. Phone 523-9204 FOR SALE FRESH HONEY in own containers for $2So Kg.

Dr. Wiley graduated from the University of Guelph Ontario Veterinary College in the spring of 1981. "I've always been in- terested in the field but I've been more interested in surgery on animals," said Dr. Wiley. Huron Veterinary Services is equipped with everything to insure your pet gets the best possible treatment. Dr. Wiley says "it's very much like a human hospital." When first entering the hospital with your pet, you are led into the examination room. Here all the vac- cinations and routine work is done. Dr. Wiley . classifies "routine work" as worm infestation in dogs and cats, dentistry, including teeth cleaning and the treating of ear infections. De-fleaing is also included in the above list. If the problem is more serious than first an- ticipated, the hospital is equipped with an X-ray and developing room and a lab where fecal, urine and blood samples can be tested. If 'surgery is required, the facilities are available at the hospital. The animal is given a premixed solution with tranquilizers one half hour before surgery and is in- duced with anesthesia of injectable thiopental and is maintained throughout the course of the operation on halothane gasous. The doctor and assistant use sterilized packs and wear masks and gowns while operating. Dr. Wiley said she had an unusual case last week in- volving a white cat. The cat had developed Squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer in the ears. This disease is exclusive only to white cats and is caused by a sensitivity to sunlight. An operation was performed in which the tips of the cat's ears were removed. The hospital also offers a 24-hour emergency service to dogs, cats and other small animals. Dr. Wiley said she has been called upon twice with an emergency, both involving insecticide poisoning with a dog and cat. In both cases, the owners acted quickly in contacting the hospital. Dr. Wiley in- duced vomiting with a special drug, administered a combatant to the insecticide and the animals were nor- mal within two or three hours. Golden Harvest Kennels, an extention of the hospital, offers boarding facilities for up to 15 animals. Both indoor and outdoor kennels are available. Dr. Wiley said medicated baths and grooming is available for all breeds of dogs and cats. A recent outbreak of rabies has prompted Huron County pet owners to vac- cinate their pets early rather than wait for the free clinic to be held sometime in September. Dr. Wiley en- courages all pet owners to get their pets vaccinated as soon as possible to protect their pet as well as them- selves. Huron Veterinery Services and Golden Harvest Kennels are open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed for lunch). Appointments can be made after five or on weekends. l (TIfF BLYTR SThND*RD) 10[INIEM David Longstaff Ltd.

All vehicles will stop at Mill and Drummond By Rod Hilts In a complete turn of events, Blyth Council rescinded a motion to erect a stop sign on Drummond Street. After a delegation opposing the move presented a petition to council, a new motion was passed stating that a four-way stop be put up at the Drummond Street - Mill Street intersection. At council's last meeting, Councillor William Manning expressed his concern about the dangerous situation that exists when traffic yields from Mill Street onto Drummond. Councillor Mannings original motion to have a four-way erected at the intersection was put to rest after no one supported it. At the September 6 meeting, seven concerned citizens presented a petition containing 53 signatures opposed to the posting of a stop sign on Drummond. Ironically, seven years ago, the stop on Drummond St. was changed to a yield on Mill. The concerned delegation told council they would support either a stop on Mill Street or a four-way stop. The delegation was in favor of having Drummond a thru- way, as 39 people suggested a stop sign be erected on Mill Street. Fourteen of the 53 were in favor of a four-way stop and no one supported a yield sign on Mill or a stop sign on Drummond. Councillor William Howson said that the saftey of children was council's primary concern. "Traffic coming down that street should be slowed down. I've noticed many fast drivers there. We have to slow down the traffic," said Mr. Howson. Dave Lee, a member of the delegation, told council the problem was "a police concern and not up to council." Discussion surfaced that perhaps the Drummond -Mill intersection wasn't the only problem area in Blyth. A member of the delegation WELCOME TO THE THRESHER'S REUNION "K.W.I.G.

OI oil LISt .HSAUSAG suggested that the in- tersection at the Blyth Public School should also be considered for a four-way stop. Council said that the Drummond -Mill intersection was a unique case because there is a dangerous hill at the southern edge of the intersection. Councillor Albert Wasson said that although he didn't support stop signs he was willing to consider a four- way stop at this corner. "If there is any place in Blyth that a four-way stop is deserving, it's at that corner, but not all over town," said Councillor Wasson. ' Councillor Wasson sum- med up council's decision by saying, "If they're ( the delegation) genuinely concerned about safety,' they shouldn't oppose a four-way stop." The proposal will be sent to the Ministry of Tran- sportation and Com- munication for their ap- proval. p- prova1. Fire eh .lrges raised In an effort to lower its operating deficit, the Wingham and Rural Fire Committee has decided to raise the hourly rate charg- ed to municipalities for calls by the Wingham Fire Department. At a meeting last week, the committee adopted a new formula for the hourly charge, tying it to actual operating costs the previous year. The rate now will be calculated based on three- quarters of the previous year's costs. With costs last year runn- ing at about $400 an hour, that means the rate will go to about $300 an hours, up from the $200 charged last year. This is the rate municipalities using the fire department are charged for time spent fighting fires. Any portion of the operating costs which is not covered by this charge is divided among member municipalities at the end of the year according to a cost-sharing formula. That formula has recently been revised as part of a plan to transfer ownership of the fire department from the Town of Wingham to an area fire board. In accepting the new formula, which con- siderably raises the town's share of costs, Wingharn council had asked the fire committee to review its hourly rate to make sure it reflects the actual cost of firefighting. The committee has retain- ed its policy of charging no more than 10 hours for any one fire call. This protects a municipality against an unexpectedly high bill as the result of a major fire. The committee is continu- ing to work toward the for- mation of a fire area board. The plan has received ap- proval in principle from all member councils, though some details remain to be worked out. Cheek lour Spare Your spare tire may be a hero and come to your rescue some day. Make sure it's ready to do the job, says the Ontario Safety League. If the spare isn't rotated with the rest of your tires, check it regularly to be certain that air pressure is correct. While checking your other tires each month, why not test your spare? Squeeze Play Be alert for cyclists mak- ing turns across traffic from the right lane, the Ontario Safety League warns motorists. And when you make a right turn, be sure not to squeeze a cyclist against the curb. Groceries Kraft 22")g. "regular or spiral" MAC & CHEESE DINNER 2/$1.00 Fac elle FACETTES White 400's $1.89 pkg.
