News Police may seek a connection in weekend disappearances of dogs From Pogs 1 owned by Shirley Greener of Missisauga, is believed to have been stolen Friday night from a truck parked near an area bar sometime after 10:30 p.m. Friday. Harley can be seen in the film Fly Away Home and numerous print and television ads. The multi -titled dog (Conformation, Obedience and Hunt Test) has a tattoo in its left ear, which reads EJ2 48A, and has a microchip implanted into its neck. According to Greener, who lives in Mississauga and was in the area for hunter retriever tests at the Hullett Wildlife Management Area on Saturday, most veterinarians and humane societies scan for these chips. If a chip is found the veterinarian can find out who the real owner of the dog is. Harley is a friendly dog, said Greener, and he would go with anybody. She added Harley was in a truck outfitted with canine storage units with six other dogs and parked near a bar near Clinton. Greener said that someone had heard some young people saying, "No that's my dog," and then loading a dog into their car. For safety reasons, Greener said the truck's storage units are not locked and someone would be able open it easily. If Harley did break out of his pen, he wouldn't have run away, Greener said, adding that there is a $1,000 reward for Harley's return and that there will be no questions asked. The second black lab went missing from the Brucefield area. Owner Dymphie Veens said, "It's always walking loose but it's always around the house." The dog, who answers to the name Toby, has had surgery, because of a fight with a raccoon, and one side has a scar on it, which may or may not be visible. Toby was last seen around 9:30 Saturday night, and was missing the next morning. Veens said the animal control officer and police were called. According to Veens, it is a possibility that the dog was stolen. 7YP2CLE is tattooed in one of Toby's ears. Both dogs are neutered, making them useless in breeding. Shropshall said a third dog from Taylor's Corners in Goderich Township was reported missing sometime on the weekend from Allen Shelton. Shropshall said the Shelton's black lab runs at large on their farm and they just reported it missing, asking OPP to keep their eyes open for it. Submitted photo Harley, a black lab (sitting) was stolen from Vanastra Friday night and a $1,000 reward is being offered for his return. Now, Shropshall said OPP will be looking into whether or not their is a connection between the three missing dogs.

Centenaires hope to build community interest if agreement is reached for team to take to ice From Page 1 are being made in the community, not understanding why there is so little moral and financial support for a team that has done nothing but help further the hockey careers of young players coming through the minor hockey system. While there is a fan -base in the community that the Centenaires appreciate, he said there is an element out there who are running them down and spreading rumours without ever talking to the executive or confronting them with their allegations. If people have ideas or criticisms about how the team should be run, he wishes they would get involved. And he can't understand why a debt of $7,300 is Avon DISTRICT SCHOOL SOARD Maitland Learning for a Lifetime The staff of the Avon Maitland District School Board wish to extend a very warm welcome to all students for the 2001 - 2002 school year.

Parsons' said, several players have been able to use the Centenaires as a stepping stone to other junior levels and possible shots at greater hockey careers. Home games provide a regular event in the community in the winter when there is otherwise little to do. Following two successful seasons, the team has taken the Seaforth name to the playoffs and Parsons said they have helped bring the town more notoriety. "We give boys between the ages of 15 and 21 something to look forward to in their hockey careers." said Parsons. He is hoping thc Quoted The arena board is trying and I can appreciate that, -- Dave Parsons, Centenaires general manager. community can come to recognize this and that the Centenaires can find more support for the team in everything from businesses sponsoring periods in a game to more community members joining the executive. Before learning their fate was still in question Tuesday morning, Parsons said the team was hoping to plan more fundraising events this coming season to help pay down its debt while finding new ways to get fans coming out to the games. One idea is to visit the arca schools, talking about the hockey program while giving out tickets to some of the games to attract new, younger fans. He said they would also like to start working with some of the younger teams in the minor hockey system. For real peace of mind,. look tor tin. symbol I,t protection.

"I've got nothing but accolades for the minor system," said Parsons, eager to work more closely with them and try and make the Centenaires a stronger part of the community. Assuming the Cents take to the ice this season, Parsons hopes those he believes are working against the team can start to see them as allies and a part of the community rather than an organization to be looked down on. "The arena board is trying and I can appreciate that. They are attempting to help out the situation," said Parsons. He remains optimistic an agreement can be worked out. understanding the Centenaires intend to continue making payments on their debt.
