Council replaces four sidewalk blocks
Goderich town council
agreed to pay $41,380 for
the replacement of four
blocks of sidewalks on the
Square as part of the
beautification program.
Council accepted a
tender from Global.
Construction, London to
replace four blocks of
sidewalk on the Square
with paving stone at _ a
total cost of $56,730.
Under a cost sharing
agreement with the
Businessmen's
Association the town will
pay 60 percent of the cost
of replacing the sidewalk
with pavingstone or
$41,380 and the
businessmen will pay
$15,350.
The Global tender for
the project was the lowest
of three. bids.. C.A.
Moderator plans extended visit
to International Plowing Match
Moderator Dr. George
Tuttle will spend a good
portion of the Inter-
national Plowing Match's
opening day at the United
Church tent, according to
Huron -Perth Presbytery
officials. It is expected
the church leader will
officially open the facility.
at 11 a.m.
Talking to people, as he
will be doing, is in
keeping with Dr. Tuttle's
style. Since the principal
of St Stephen's College in
Edmonton was elected
moderator this past
August he has shown that
though he may not grab
many headlines he can
talk common sense for
ordinary - -people: More •
than thirty years of
working with students
and young people taught
him to be practical and to
avoid complicated
theology.
Dr. Tuttle has ex-
pressed a desire to
become familiar with the
international event to be
held in Wingham, and its
people.Those who •know'
him say his main con-

Board approves
B '
decision making policy
The Huron Colifity
Board of Education
completed a chain of
commmand Monday
night when it established
how emergency decisions
can be made when an
insufficient number of
trustees can be reached
to make that decision.
Education director
John Cochrane told the
board .that a problem
may arise if action has to
be taken on a matter and
less than a quorum of
board members can be
contacted. Cochrane told
the board that when a
shortage of time does not
permit a board meeting
to be called trustees can
be polled by telephone
and the trustees' wishes
recorded to get around
that problem.
But the director ex-
plained that it may not be
possible to reach enough
trustees by phone to
enable a decision to be
made. He pointed out that
the consensus of most
trustees is that the
director be empowered to
make the decision on
action to be taken but the
board should outline that
practice in board policy.
•
Cochrane suggested the
policy should outline a
descending order of
alternatives beginning
with the telephone poll.
He said the next step
would be to consult with
the chairman, or in his
absence the vice chair-
man to make a decision if
the quorum cannot be
contacted. Should the
chairman or vice
chairman not be
available the director has
the authority to assess
Negotiator
hired for term
The Huron County
Board of Education will
make use of negotiator
Fred Reeves in its 1979
dealings with its em-
ployees deciding Monday
night to honor the second
year of Reeves' two-year
pact with the board.
Reeves was employed
by Huron County in 1978
to assist in contract talks
with the board's
elementary and secon-
dary school teachers, its
secretarial, _ employees
and custodians, all of
which work under con-
tract with the board.
The board hired Reeves
through the Ontario
Public School Trustees
Association on a co-
operative basis with
Bruce and Grey Counties.
The OPSTA pays the
salary for the negotiator
and collects one-third of
those costs from each of
the boards making use of
his services. As well as
their share of the salary
each board is charged for
secretarial help, mileage
and telephoneused by
Reeves while working for
that county and each is to
provide office space for
him.
The Huron board was
required to give six
months notice if it wanted

out of the second year of
the deal and that notice
was to be given this
month. The board agreed
to make use of Reeves in
1979 and also agreed to
pay an extra six percent
salary given the
negotiator by the OPSTA.
Reeves is paid $34,000
by OPSTA and one third
of that, just over $11,000 is
paid by Huron County.
the problem and take
remedial action required.
A telephone poll is
authorized by the
chairmanof the board
and Cochrane. asked that
the board pass that
authority on to the vice
chairman • should the
chairman be unavailable.
If both cannot be reached
the director can also
authorize a poll.
Seaforth trustee" John
Henderson said he did not
object to telephone polls
provided the person
conducting them was
familiar with the problem
prompting the poll. He
said past polls have been
conducted by -a secretary
who was merely told
what the situation was.
Henderson said the
secretary was not
familiar enough with the
problem to be able to field
questions from the
trustees.
The Seaforth trustee
suggested that 'the
director or a superin-
tendant conduct t the polis.
Cochrane said the polls
take a considerable
amount of time and he
would not like to see the
work confined to senior
administration. He said
attempts could be made
to familiarize the person
doing 'the poll with the
problem and if the trustee
wanted to ask questions
he or she could contact an
administrator before
making a decision.
The board passed the
policy and did not
demand that a senior
administrator handle the
poll.
will be his concern for
people. His interest in
camping and bicycling
seem to bear this out.
;, The head of the United
Church has strong
opinions on some sub-
jects. Living in
Edmonton he has studied
the -pipeline -question and
native rights. He's well
informed on energy
matters, environment
and pollution. He's keen
on science but concerned
about some detrimental
human effects of
technology.
The tent, at the corner
of Armstrong and third in
the Tented City, is being
manned by different
areas of the Presbytery
each . day. Besides an
extensive book store,
local interest slides and
the UCW hostess section
serving coffee and
cookies, it is planned to
have a continuous
musical program
organized by each day's
committee.
McDowell of Exeter bid
$68,777 and Timbergate
Engineering of Kitchener
bid $74,390. The engineer'
estimate of the cost of the
project was $48,000,—
The town had set aside
$15,000 , for the initial
phase of the Square
project and , Works
Commissioner Ken
Hunter explained the
town entered into a 60-40
cost sharing agreement
with the businessmen
before the work was
tendered.
Works and engineering
chairman, Dave Gower
said that although council
would now need an ad-
ditional $25,000 for the
project they could pay for
it and justify,the cost.
Councillor Stan Profit
said. it -was--a misnomer -
that the businessmen
were paying for the.
project. He claimed they
were paying for lighting
on the outer portion of the
Square and only 40
percent of the sidewalk
work.
Councillor Don Wheeler
said it was underhanded '
for council to set aside
$15,000 for the work and
then agree to a tender of
whish coiineil's shdre
would be $41,380. Wheeler
claimed council could not
afford to spend the ad
ditional funds:
In .a recorded vote
Profit, Wheeler :and
Eileen Palmer voted
against accepting the
tender.
Condition cattle
Feedlot operators can
avoid health problems
and obtain faster growth
in their herds if new
feedlot cattle are con-
ditioned properly.
"Routine processing of
new feedlot arrivals
varies from farm to
farm," says Dennis
McKnight, lecturer at
Kemptville ' College of
Agricultural Technology.
However, several
management practices
are recommended.
Provide the new
arrivals with feed and
water as Soon as possible.
It may be necessary to
infuse a commercial
preparation of elec-
trolytes directly into the
rumen of newly weaned
calves, if they are
dehydrated or unfamiliar
with feed and . water
troughs.
It is unnecessary to
start calves or yearlings
on a complex starter
ration. Feed good -quality
roughage or roughage -
grain mixtures, com-
bined with antibiotics, if
necessary, for the first
three to four weeks. Don't
switch feeds until all
cattle are acclimatized to
their new surroundings,
and have recovered from
any diseases contracted
during shipping.
Segregate animals' by
origin and isolate them
for several weeks to
prevent spread of
disease.
Contact ' your
veterinarian to deter-
mine what vaccinations
may be nhquired. Many
feedlot operators vac-.
cinate for. bovine
rhinotracheitis, bovine
virus diarrhea, and
parainfluenza -3, says. Mr.
McKnight.
As a precautionary
measure, some feedlot
operators inject vitamins
A.,D, and E upon arrival.
All instruments used for
injections should be
sterilized. Do not use the
same syringe to inject
vitamins and vac-
cinations.
If parasites, such as
Lice, warbles or worms,
are present or suspected,
treat cattle with systemic
insecticides. Growth
promotants, such • as
Ralgro or Synovex, may
be implanted at the same
time.
