Reeve at conference to
"Always be prepared" is a
motto that can be profitably
applied by more groups than
the Boy Scouts.
Hensall Reeve Harry
Klungel returned recently
from a four-day conference at
the Federal Study Centre,
Arnprior, aimed at assisting
mayors and elected officials
in developing plans and Im-
plementing measures to meet
emergency situations such as
fire, flood, explosion, earth -
.%`r.
quake or other disasters.
Kiungel was motivated to
spend four days of his time
gathering knowledge he
hopes he never has to use by
a chance remark made by the
village's'fire chief, Gary Max -

Quality is first in our business
study emergency planning in case of disaster
well, a year ago. The remark
has stuck like a burr in
Klungel's mind ever since.
Maxwell had commented
that Hensall has a potential
- for disaster out of all propor-
tion to its size because of two
factors - the large quantities
of chemicals kept in stocks by
the three mills , and the
railway track cutting through
the centre of town directly
west of the business section.
If some of the pesticides,
herbicides, fertilizers or other
chemicals exploded or caught
fire, the addition of water
from a firehose might
possibly make matters worse.
If a tank car carrying some
deadly cargo•was derailed in
Hensall, or a collision occur-
red at the crossing, the
prevailing winds could carry
noxious fumes back over the
village.
he invitation to attend the
conference .conducted by
Emergency Planning Canada
was welcomed as most
opportune.
The 25 municipal officials
from across Canada (Kluagcl
was the sole Ontario
representative) arrived at the
former military base in Arn-
prior on Sunday evening for
dinner and a relaxed, get -
acquainted time. They got
down to serious business the
following morning. Their
hours from 8:30 a.tn. until
4:30 p.m. on Monday, Tues-
; day and Wednesday, and
Thursday until noon were fill-
ed with lectures, films, slide
shows, case studies and small
workshops designed to em-
phasize the importance of
municipal leadership and in-
volvement in case of disaster
in their communities.
The Mississauga incident
was thoroughly dissected.
That city had an emergency
plan in place before being fac-
ed with a train derailment
and chemical spilt. What
could have been a serious in-
cident was handled with com-
petence and coordination, and
not a life was lost. The
evacuation of thousands of
people was a model of good
management.

The second regular meeting
of the Huron County Youth
Council was hell on Thursday
June 7 at 8:00 p.m. in the
O.M.A. F. Board Room in
Clinton. Attendance was very
good with twice as many
members as the first
meeting. The meeting was
headed by Karen Rodman
and Elaine Pym, who in-
itiated a couple of "Get -
Acquainted" exercises. After
the members all knew each
other, Leadership was
discussed with each member
taking a quiz to determine the
type of leader he/she was.
Various members also role-
played as the types of leaders
possible. A very interesting
slide presentation followed on
Parliamentary Procedure.
The members then discussed
the slides and their applica-
tion to our meetings.
The group split into two
smaller groups to plan the Ju-
ly and August meetings. Each
group is to he completely
responsible for the content of
their own meeting. After the
whole group got back
together again, ideas for pro-
jects and achievement day
were discussed, with more
concrete plans being made at
the next meeting planned for
July 12 at Clinton.

emergency when she was in-
formed by phone that ice had
blocked the flow of water to
her fellow townspeople.
Klungel found the small
groups of five or six working
on case studies most produc-
tive, remarking that "you
really lived out what went
on".
The mutts of a nuclear
blast were touched on briefly
on the final morning. Sonne
delegates were reluctant to
attend, preferring not to hear
about such horrors. Klungel
admits the presentation was
"downright scary".
The conference has made a
lasting impression on
Klungel. He recommends it to
all elected representatives.
The next course for mayors,
reeves and councillors is
scheduled for July. The
federal government pays all
expenses, and "we were
treated like kings and queens
- the meals were fantastic",
`Klungel enthused.
The extremely competent
instructors had been chosen
for their ability to
communicate.
Klungel welcomed the uni-
que opportunity to meet and
exchange ideas with his col-
leagues from across Canada
during the social times in the
evenings.
Klungel has returned home
with a heightened awareness
of his duties as reeve. The
conference stressed the
res. snsibilit of a mayor or
reeve to coordinate opera-
tions in case of a emergency
either by taking control
themselves, or delegating
authority to a competent
person.
The Hensall reeve will meet
with the village's firemen as
soon as the Centennial
celebrations are over. The
Hensall fire department
already has an emergency
gplan "in the infant stage",
and can draw on the
resources of neighboring
municipalities through
mutual aid.
Klungel hopes to work with
the members of the fire
department to draw up a
detailed clan covering
medical assistance, evacua-
tion, large-scale firefighting,
and all other contingencies
village officials might have to
deal with its case of some
emergency or disaster. He
would also like to see the plan
acted out, to probe for any
weak spot.
Klungel knows from
previous discussions that the
managers of the three mills
are scrupulously careful
about the storage and handl-
ing of the farm chemicals in
their inventories. He will
discuss the emergency plan
for Hensall with them.
"If you have planned and
practiced, you are definitely
in a much better position if
disaster should suddenly
strike", Klungel concluded.
