Wednesday, August 30, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 9 Lifeline project progressin well enough to order units Members attending the August 17 meeting of the Disability Action Group in the McCausland Hospital Lobby were welcomed by President Shirley Mikus. A letter from the Township's Recreation Department outlined guidelines for the Fall Fair. Shirley requested assistance in manning our table. It was decided to emphasize what DAG had achieved in its initial efforts to obtain Homemakers and Lifeline and its future goals towards a Handitransit System and barrier free accessibility. A lottery license had been obtained and tickets will be sold as well as memberships. Balloons will be given to children. Reporting for the Lifeline Committee, Gertrude Cotton stat- ed they had progressed sufficient- ly well to order the monitor for the hospital and the first 25 units. Names will be taken for these units and assistance will be required towards the installation of the units when they arrive. Transit Committee member Shirley Mikus reported on the last meeting she had attended together with several Councillors. A reply had been received from Trottier Bus Lines confirming the figures we had given on operating costs. This will be under further discus- sion at the joint mceting in September and the outlook appeared very positive, Alma Hart, Social Convenor felt there was a need to develop the social aspect of our organiza- tion, and her enquiries brought forth many lively suggestions. An oral reply had been given concerning the accessibility at the Terrace Bay Public School. Since the last. meeting, information had been received from the Ontario Human Rights Codes pertaining to the Access Amendment of the Ontario Human Rights Code, sec- tion 10, 16 and 24 and the Ontario Building Code 1986 sec- tion 3.7. A motion was passed that DAG write to the Lake Superior Board of Education with refer- ence to the accessibility at the Terrace Bay Public School. It was also recommended: DAG request a meeting with the new Town Engineer in the near future. Following a discussion with the author of the book, "In Search of Light" it was felt this book could be helpful to anyone with disabilities. DAG agreed to pur- chase this book to keep for any- one within the club who might be helped by reading it. The September meeting was changed to the 14 due to conflict- ing obligations of several mem- bers. Everyone is welcome and the meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the McCausland Hospital Lobby. Coffee and social hour con- cluded the meeting. By Alice Scott Each year, thousands of ani- mals are destroyed in animal shelters across Canada and the U.S. Many of these dogs and cats could become wonderful, loving companions if given the chance. Adopting an older dog or cat can have many advantages. But, you must be prepared to use patience and understanding when adopting these pets. The same rules should apply to picking an older dog, as you would use when picking a puppy. Decide if you would like a purebred or mixed breed. Most shelters have a high percentage of purebreds in their kennels. | PREPAID IN ADVANCE Classifieds 25 words or [ess 1 week...$3.50 2 weeks...$6.00 4 weeks...$10.00 20 cents extra for each additional word .

Countless people must give up their pets because they are mov- ing into an apartment or because of a death in the family. I know of many kennels who adopt older dogs temporarily because their previous owners have passed away, or because they are no longer wanted. Contact kennels that have the breed you are interested in. Even if the dog is six years old it will adjust to a new home, if he is treated with kindness. An older dog is already house- broken. You also can tell the type of temperament that he will have and his trainability. If the dog did s Save an animal - adopt come from a home where he was abused, then you will have to use patience in convincing him that you are not going to mistreat him. I know of a doberman that was chained to a hotwater tank with a six foot chain, and beaten when- ever he had an accident in the house. He was eventually adopted by a new owner, who spent hours with this dog. He responded so well that his new owner started obedience training with him. ' This dog became a member of a highly trained drill team, and learned once again to trust peo- ple. Give an older dog or cat a chance at a happy life. o we: ey | % -* . 100 year old Railroad Inn.
