Under a Huron County by-law, you can be fined up to $5,000 if you own an animal that hasn't been vaccinated. "A county by-law makes it mandatory for all'pets to be vaccinated," said Klaus Seeger, a senior public health inspector with the Huron County Health Unit. The by-law makes no distinction between pets that are kept indoors and pets that roam, he added. The anti -rabies clinics being held throughout Huron County on Saturday, Oct. 21, is an annual event, Seeger said. The HCHU sets up the clinics in conjunc- tion with the various veterinary hospitals. "The vets are good enough to cooperate with us," he said. It's up to each hospital whether the anti -rabies clinic is a "drop- in" or whether an appointment is needed Incidents of rabies have been "low this year, but we have had problems In the past," said Seeger. Rabies, which is caus- ed by a virus, is contagious and is fatal if neither vaccination nor treatment is sought. It's spread by biting, but it's car- ried in the saliva, so it can also be spread just by getting the saliva of an in- fected animal on broken skin. Once within the body, the virus travels through the nerve cells to the brain. "You can get it from infected pets. livestock, wildlife -- any warm-blooded improved access p The Management Committee reviewed proposals related to building modifica- tions at Holmesville Public School to pro- vide improved access and mobility for physically handicapped persons. These upgrades included ramps, washroom alterations, revised entry systems and changes to the office and reception area for the school. These works are con- sidered to he routine and will be under- taken as funds permit. The committee also reviewed preliminary space load calculations for a number of elementary schools subject to overcrowding. These include Hullett Cen- tral P.S., Wingham P.S., Hensall P.S., Seaforth P.S., and Holmesville P.S„ where additional space is required as soon as it can be made available.

Rabies treatmen shots now consist of five shots over thr space of a month. "Once the symptoms show up it person or an animal -- it's too late to d anything," he said, There is no similar treatment se animals; they depend on the proteetim the vaccine. The Goderich Veterinary Clinic th, Seaforth Veterinary Clinic ano th. Clinton-Seaforth Vet Service are all par ticipating in the anti -rabies elinin creed for school Grade 6 at Victoria P.S. to re-establish a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school there over the next two years. "The Board Is trying to respond to dif- ficult accommodation problems in the Goderich Area," commented director' Boh Allan. To this end the Board passed a motion "that detailed planning commence for the renovation and expansion of space at five additional elementary schools, and that applications be submitted to the Ministry of Education for financial assistance as applicable." The Board was apprised of discussions with Hullett Township Council in the mat- ter of the possible coordination of an- ticipated school expansion with the Con- struction of a new Township Hall. The Management Committee welcomed the cooperative venture, and the school prin- cipal has been encouraged to pursue discussions at the local level to keep communication open between the Board and the Township officials. As a 'solution to a serious space pro- blem at Hensall Public School the trustees authorized the rental of a tem- porary office trailer . accommodation to meet current special education and related space needs at the school. The authorization was given for the balance of the 198990 school year on a trial basis. Superintendent of Operations Paul Carroll said the board is looking for a more per- manent solution to space problems at the school. The Huron County Career Fair will be held at Centralia College on Wednesday, November 8 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.. The• purpose of this fair is to provide informa- tion about educational and career oppor- tunities for elementary and secondary school students, their parents, and the general public. The career fair will feature displays ar- ranged by college universities, private schools, government agencies and local companies. These displays will represent careers in business, health, social ser- vices, trades, hospitality, protective ser- vices and the professions. Also on hand will be experienced personnel from their respective industries with firsthand infor- mation for students. The career fair is sponsored by the Huron County Board of Education, Con- estoga College, Centralia College, and the Huron Industrial Training Advisory Committee. The Huron County Board of Education reviewed the renovation cycle for further work. at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. The most pressing problem at the school is related to the long-term ilia fieuity of water intrusion and flooding it the music room. Management Committee Chairmar Brian Jeffrey' told the Board last weel that it might be economic to abandon th, area for the time being. He said ; number of alternatives to relocate the program have been explored The Board approved $125,009 in the 199 estimates to relocate the music progran in the most cost efficient manner The HCBE has developed genera reserves "to keep and str- 'ter f re n - special use." On the topic of flnancia, ves thr Board passed a motion to place minimum of $50,0011 in both elementar and secondary panels in its estimates or. an annual basis until such time. as its reserves equal five per cent of its tots budget. The Board further decided that u any year that there is an under levy, the current allocation for reserves be used tr cover any amount under levied -as oppos ed to carrying the under levy into thr following year's budget and tax levy So far this year the board anticipate: being over budget, due to low estimate: on a number of projects. The difference between the 1989 estimates and the actua costs is $430,643. But Director of Educa- tion Bob Allan says by the end of ' ttte year the under levy won't be so hist based on the Board's history, we've typically over -levied by two or $300,001, think we'll be over budget, but not b' $430,000. ' The process and costs associated wife the recent by-election for the Township 0: Tuckeramith and the Village of Hernsal. was reviewed. The by-election wa: necessary to fill a position on the boars filled by the resignation of Sall} Rathwell, and resulted in the election o: Trustee Allan Carter. At the time of 13athwell's resignatror, the Board decided there was enough time left in the term to justify electing e trustee. The cost exceeded $5.,000 for both • municipalities, and director of educatior. Bob Allan commented that the byelectiop was conducted efficiently. The cost of the election was charged to the board. The Board considered whether it' is beneficial to have a recognized process• for the selection of a trustee to fill vacancy, but concluded it would be wise for the Board of the day to consider eaci: . circumstance on its own merit. Rather than holding an election a board may opt to leave a vacancy until the end of r' term, appoint a trustee, or set ant precedent.
