Our first pets were two kittens that my husband and I got from the local S.P.C.A.. I liked the little black and white one, and he like the tabby, so we compromised and got both Bowling news Continued from page 7 For newcomers let me give you an idea of our bowling lanes here. The lanes house three adult leagues, a Youth Bowling League (ages 6 to 18), a Smurf League (age 2 to 5) and a seniors club (under 100 club). If you're inter- ested in any of these contact the Recreation Centre and they will give you a name of someone to call. The bowling lanes are sanc- tioned and all adult members are card holders of the Canadian 5- pin Bowling Association. The children bowlers are YBC mem- bers and those seniors who wish to be are members of the Golden Age Club. Bowling has become a popular of them. They were great companions for our children but as our girls grew older they wanted a dog. Our excuse (not a very good one) was we lived in an apartment. That worked until we bought a house. Two months later, "Titan", a chocolate Lab puppy arrived. This was only the tip of the sport. Let's get our numbers here to reflect the trend. Bowling is a game of skill (so I am told. My game is more luck than skill) therefore it gives you a challenge to increase your games. It's fun to be with other people. Sometimes the laughter is heard rolling out of the bowling alley throughout the recreation centre halls. As a last note, I'd like to inform the men's team that was cited by the Dubin commission for steroid use that their recent tests were negative. So they may bowl this coming scason but they will be asked to provide periodic samples for testing (ha ha). Yours in bowling, Shelley. Enjoy the charming eee of a 100 year old Railroad Inn.

We have had everything from white mice, hamsters to a rescued budgie that my mother pawned on us. We now have three dogs, a cat and fish. Not everyone is able to have a cat or dog, but there are many alternatives. One of the most enjoyable pets are fish. It has been proven scien- _ tifically that watching fish can lower your blood pressure and stress level. Once your tank is established it is easy to care for. The fish do not have to be boarded out when you go on holidays. You also do not have to use a pooper scooper with them or change kitty litter. To start your aquarium is quite easy. Luckily we have an excel- lent store in our area, "Phil's Pet Bird and Fish Supplies", to pur- chase supplies. Decide what type and size of tank you would like. You can have, a small 10 gallon tank or if you would like larger fish, such as an "Oscar".a 40 gallon tank. Buy your tank a week before: you buy your fish. Treat your water to remove the chlorine and run your tank so that you can establish a good ecosystem. Buy a book on types of fish and the diseases they can get. Ask questions when you are purchas- ing your fish such as: What types of sone to feed your fish? What is the life span of each type? Which fish are compatable since many. fish are aggressive to be together with other types. So, if you're thinking of a pet, and can't have a dog or cat, think fish.
