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- quake or other disasters. Klungel was motivated to pend 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 - IN CASE OF EMERGENCY' — Hensall reeve Harry Klungel attended a conference conducted by Emergency Planning Canada at' the Federal Study Centre, Arnprior, recently.

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 stock 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: , The invitation to attend the conference conducted by Emergency Planning Canada was welcomed as most opportune. The 25 municipal officials from across Canada (Klungel 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.m. 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 plae before being fac- ed with a train derailment and chemical spill. What could have been a serious in- cident was handled with com- petence and coordination, and not a life was lost. The evacuat'fon of thousands of people was a model of good management.. -- A councillor .from Frobisher Bay had to deal by long distance with an actual Kippen youth service By Margaret Hoggarth The Kippef Youth Anniver- sary service was held on Sun- day June 10 with members of the recent -confirmation class taking important parts in the service.

A piano duet was very capably performed by Jason and Cheryl Turner. Several choir numbers ap- propriate for the occasion were presented in the ministry of music under the capable leadership of the organists Mrs. Gerald Moffatt and Mrs. David Cooper. Julie Consitt pronounced the benediction and the service was closed by singing "Lord we Pray."

Board Room in (7linton. 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 be 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. 'p (Press report K Greg `Hogman' Hoggarth). 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 results of a nuclear blast were touched on briefly on the final morning. Some 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 Cecommends it to all elected representatives. The next course for ma ors, reeves and councillors is scheduled for Jul}. 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 . ' nsibilit 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 plan "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 plan covering medical assistance, evacua- tion, large-scale firefighting, and all other contingencies village officials might have to deal with in 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. -t IN APPRECIATION — Sandra Turner (right) president of the ladies Division of th'e Hensall Fair, presents a plaque to Diana Baskoro for her work in organizing talent show for the past four years. the 41 PLAQUE PRESENTATION — Ken Van Allen and San- dra Turner shore o joke as the president of the Ladies Division of the Hensall Fair presents Van Allen with a plaque for being MC of the talent show for a number. of years. ensall's spry ndredth c E NSALL NT E NN FRIDAY, JUNE 29 • Shriner Fish Fry Official Opening Walters Family Entertainment SATURDAY, JUNE 30 Firemen's Breakfast Antique and Craft Show and Sale Arm Wrestling. and Baseball Trap Shoot. • Horseshoe Pitching Pork Barbecue Dance Featuring - LOGO and SPIRIT SUNDAY, JULY 1 Firemen's Breakfast Church Service Family Picnic Legion Drumhead Service Horseshoe Pitching Tug of Wars .
