The Ausable-Bayfield and
Maitland Valley Conserva
tion Authorities have an
nounced plans for a
municipal drain manage
ment seminar to be held
June 5 at the South Huron
rec centre.
The purpose of the
seminar is to initiate com
munications at the local
level between various
groups and agencies in
volved in municipal drain
design, plan review, con
struction and maintenance.
“Hopefully the result will
be a greater understanding
of the concerns and respon
sibilities of all bodies in
volved in land drainage,
leading to an increase in
cooperation between these
groups in the future,” com
mented Ausable-Bayfield
planning technician Theresa
Whalen in a joint letter to
area municipalities.
The seminar is intended
for the agencies,
organizations and
municipalities involved in
municipal drainage, but it is
expected a public meeting
will be held on the same
topic later this fall.
Several experts have been
lined up to deal with a varie
ty of topics for the seminar.

Local radar equipment
to be reinstated quickly
Accuracy in forecasting
and plotting severe storms
is expected to improve in
this region with the
reinstatement of the line
between the federal weather
office in London and the
automated radar station
near Exeter.
London weather officials
said Monday the service is
expected to be back in
operation in about a week.
The radar, located in a
bunker on Highway 83 just
east of here, was installed
last July with land lines run
ning to London and Toronto
weather offices.
George McPherson,
regional director for At
mospheric Environment
Services in Toronto, said
Monday the radar system is
.................... " 1 ,l—
capable of providing detail
ed information on severe
storms in a radius of about
240 kilometres.
It’s one of five such radar
units in Canada. The others
are located in Toronto, Ot
tawa, British Columbia and
Newfoundland.
The London line was dis-

Middleton placed a value on
the barn at $60,000.
The building was insured
to some extent Mason said
and added they plan to
rebuild on the barn’s site or
add onto the horse barn.
Firemen who remained on
the scene until 4 a.m. were
back on the job 12 hours later
when a small fire at the
Wally Tomasiuk residence
on Sherwood Crescent
caused between $800-$l,000
damage.
Tomasiuk said a rag
caught fire and caused some
damage to the patio deck and
the house’s siding.
Middleton said by the time
firemen arrived, a neighbor
had the fire under control.
The Tomasiuks were out of
the house at the time.
continued last November
because of its cost. McPher
son said the system, leased
from CN-CP Telecom
munications Ltd., cost about
$10,000 annually.
The direct line to Toronto
was maintained and the
radar information passed on
to London in numerical code
by teletype.
McPherson said the
coding takes about 20 to 30
minutes, a significant time
considering storm watches
are initiated six hours in ad
vance and storm warnings
issued only an hour before
they reach a community.
'Hie quality of the infor
mation also suffered, he
said. “You can’t relay that
precise information in a cod
ed teletype message.”
He said his office has been
able to reinstate the line to
London because a Connec
ticut firm, Alden Corp. Ltd.,
has offered to lease the
same service for about $1,-
500.
While McPherson said the
new line “won’t provide all
the answers,” it will im
prove the service private
pilots, airlines, truck
drivers, farmers, sailors
and other groups depend on
for weather forecasts.”
Board gets tough

on a train and a ticket to
“watch the Expos play”. He
said the next day will be
spent on a bus going to
Quebec City.
Kenwell outlined the
itinerary of the students. The
first day will be a rail trip to
Montreal where they will
attend an Expos baseball
game. The next day the
students will be travelling by
bus to Quebec City in the
morning and touring the
Parliament Buildings and
the National Assembly in the
afternoon. The next day will
include a tour of the city to
such sites as the Plains of
Abraham, the Citadel and an
electronic display showing
the six seiges of the city. The
next day the students will be
taken on a walking tour of
the city and then will come
home.
Zurich trustee Herb
Turkheim suggested that the
trip gave the students too
much free time. He asked
the board what had been the
final judgement for six
students sent home from a
class field trip of Exeter high
school students that went to
Ottawa.
He said he understood
parents were a little upset in
that town after half a dozen
students “got loose” on a
field trip to the nation’s
capital and went in a liquor
store to stock up. He said the
teachers supervising that
trip sent the students home
early.
“All it boils down to is too
much free time for the
students,” said Turkheim.
“You know how you can
find out about a place on a
walking tour,” added John
Henderson.
Goderich trustee Dorothy
Wallace defended the field
trip telling the board the only
way one can “get to know
Quebec City is on a walking
tour”.
Henderson said one of the
concerns he had about the
Seaforth trip is the ratio of

The only thing I could think
was to jump.”
He said he couldn’t
remember what happened
after he was on the car, but
he didn’t intend to damage
it. “I believe in the labor
movement. I believe in
strikes and supporting
strikers. But I don’t believe
in all this malicious
damage.”
Stilwell broke down at one
point during his testimony,
sobbing that he had had a
nervous breakdown in 1970
and his nerves were still not
good.
Stilwell’s lawyer, Murray
Neilson of London, asked for
only a fine, saying the inci
dent was out of character
for Stilwell.
But acting crown attorney
Owen Haw said a jail term
was needed to act as a
deterrent to both Stilwell
and other unionists “engag
ing in an act of labor
terrorism. As the union pays
for the damage to the car,
it’s likely they would pay for
the fine.”
He noted that Stilwell was
convicted in 1968 of
malicious damage.
Charges of obstruction
were dropped against Fisher
and Stilwell.
Stilwell is the second per- •
son to receive a jail term on
charges stemming from the
162-day Fleck strike which
ended last August. The union
is planning to appeal the 60-
day sentence given Ken
Pickering of Brantford, who
plead guilty in March to a
mischief charge.
However, a union
spokesman said he didn’t
know if the Stilwell sentence
would be appealed.
Stilwell is the last of about
25 picket line supporters to
appear before the courts in
Fleck-related incidents.

teachers and students. He
said when the trip was
originally proposed and
parents asked for approval
there were four teachers
accompanying the 42
students. He said that
number has been reduced by
one since parental approval
was given.
“You want to go on a
walking tour some time with
a bunch of students and see
how far you get,” said the
Seaforth trustee.
“I suppose with three
teachers and 42 students
somebody’s going to get

minated. He said there were
several reasons the board
would have to start turning
down the requests and one
was money. He added that
small numbers of super
visory staff created
problems like the ones that
occurred on the Exeter trip
but he said to turn down the
Seaforth trip now would be
“unfair”. He said the board
should begin taking a hard
look at the trips.
He told the board’s ad
ministration parents had
obvious concerns about
supervision of the students
and the superintendants may
have to “scrutinize the trips
a little more”. He said the
administration could offer a
little more input into the
trips in the planning stages
with suggestions on staff
supervision, itineraries and
other “constructive ideas”.
