seizure and laying of charges.
Moody said he read it and didn't think
anything more of it because it was his ex-
perience that, in the ministry, the right
hand doesn't know what the left hand is do-
ing. Moody said he had contradictory in-
formation from the ministry and his
lawyer had advised him the quotas were
off.
NO CHARGES
Ministry conservation officer Blake
Evans testified Friday he told Moody as
exactly as he could that, to his knowledge,
quotas would not be enforced and no
charges would be laid. Evans said he told
Moody the ministry would be appealing
Judge Smith's decision and no charges
would be laid for over quota fishing until
the results of the appeal.
Evans said on Oct. 18, 1984 he had no
authority to refuse Moody t e right to fish
because he had no informati -at that time
that he had fished his quota. he October
returns are not available to Evans until
Nov. 8, he said.
"I had no information that Moody ex-
ceeded his quota in October, 1984 or for the
month of October. I had no reason to tell
him not to fish on Oct. 18 or for the month
of October." said Evans.
ecision in Moody trial
Evans told the court he was not aware on
Oct. 18 that fishermen would be charged
for fishing over quota. He said he did not
have any input into the laying of the subse-
quent charges. Evans said he did not lay
any charges because his superiors advised
him not to, based on the ruling of Mr.
Justice Smith.
When asked by Moody's defense lawyer
Frank Montello if he did not become
alarmed when he saw Moody's October
figures which indicated Moody had ex-
ceeded his perch quota, Evans answered
no. After receiving Moody's October
figures, he did not contact Moody and tell
him he was catching too much fish because
"adhering to the quota is the responsibility
of the fishermen."
When asked by Montello if there was any
enforcement of the quota restrictions, as
outlined in the letter Moody received from
a ministry official subsequent to Oct. 24,
Evans said there was not.
When Montello suggested the letter was
pretty well meaningless and normal en-
forcement, procedures were not followed,
Evans told the court there had been a ver-
bal communication from his superiors,
reiterating that no quotas would be enforc-
ed based on Mr. Justice Smith's decision,
about a week after the letter had been sent
to Moody.
In summation, Montello told the court
Moody felt the quota system was unfair
when it was imposed in 1984. He fought a
fair battle in court and won. He did not
take the matter into his own hands. He
fished within the quotas until the decision
by Mr. Justice Smith and then he sought
legal advice before fishing more than his
quota.
He met with his ministry liaison of-
ficer Blake Evans who clearly advised
quotas were no longer in effect and n
charges would be laid.
"Evans unequivocally indicated 'ttrd
was so," said Montello.
It is abundantly clear he was well within
his perch limit in September and only ex-
ceeded the quota after the Mr. Justice
Smith decision, said Montello. The letter of
Oct. 22 which stated quotas would be en-
forced is an "utterly worthless document.
It's meaningless as testified by liason of-
ficer Evans.
Montello further pointed out that no
charges were undertaken, until after Feb.
8, 1985 when the Smith decision was over-
turned by appeal court.

Unit seeks public input about rabies
The Huron County Health Unit would
welcome public input about a proposed
compulsory rabies program for dogs and
cats in the county.
The program would provide low cost
rabies clinics throughout the county in
cooperation with local veterinarians. All
owners of dogs and cats would be required
to have documented evidence of adequate
rabies immunization.
"The majority of people have their pets
immunized. We're going after the people
who ignore it. Since most people do pay for
immunization, why should some get off the
hook?" says Dr. Harry Cieslar, Medical
Officer of Health for the county.
Puppies that haven't been immunized
have exposed as many as 200 people at a
time to rabies. In such situations, those
people exposed should be vaccinated,
which is always a risky procedure.
Dr. Cieslar says the cost to immunize all
pets in Huron County would total about
$20,000, $10,000 less than the amount of
money the county spends every year to
vaccinate people who have been exposed
to rabies.
The Ministry of Health recently in-
troduced legislation to deal with the im-
munization of companion animals which
can be successfully immunized and
predominate in rabies exposure to
humans.
,The majority of human rabies exposures
occur from domestic cats and dogs. In
Huron County, there is an average of 25 to
30 human exposures to animals either pro-
ven or suspected to have rabies. The
subsequent immunization cost for the peo-
ple involved is estimated to be $1,000 per
person for the investigation, vaccine and
treatment services.
Dr. Cieslar has made a recommendation
to the Huron board of health for the im-
plementation of a compulsory rabies clinic
in the county.
He invites the public to write or call the
health unit or local council representative
with concerns or support. To contact the
health unit, call Dr. Cieslar at 524-8301 or
Ed Harrison at the inspection department
at 482-3416 or 1-800-265-5184.
