A rough figure as to cost of the new building was put forth by Stanley Township reeve Ho- ward Armstong as 8275,000. The hall would be similar in de- sign to that of Bayfield and would be 4,800 sq. feet with four bays to house the village's pumper, tanker and emergency van. Residents have been offered a free piece of land approximately 1/l mile outside of Brucefield by owner Paul Cormier, but rut - men have expressed concern over an increase in response time because of the location. In addition, the property would re- quire a new road and additional landfill. Second ice pad needed in St. Marys ST. MARYS - Two young hockey players approached town council last week to build an ad- ditional ice pad in the town of St. Marys. Kyle Trott and Ian Young, both peewees, came to council armed with a letter to help them voice their opinion. The duo noted their grueling schedule which many mornings has them playing at 6 a.m. or di- rectly after figure skating when the ice has become choppy. Ice time is also a factor as most teams are granted only two slots per week. Councilor Ker- ry Campbell said officials with minor hockey have introduced a schedule which will free up an- other five hours of ice time. Campbell also said that while a second pad hasn't been ruled out, it is not likely to happen too soon.

Pets at Christmas holiday hazards • 1\ff;WMARI4t' - The holiday season is almost upon us. This is a joyous time of the year, and certain important considerations should be given to your pets.For example, did you know if your dog or cat ingests too much chocolate (you would likely consider the amount very lit- tle), it could have a toxic affect on your pet, possibly causing death? Dogs are more often the victims as cats are usually too finicky to eat chocolate. Obvious symptoms to be aware of are: vomiting, diarrhea, depression, incoordination. muscle tremors and eventually seizures, coma and death. Monitor your guests so they can not quietly slip "Fluffy" or "Duke" the occasional jelly bean, cookie or ' other sweets. This "junk food" can -diarrhea and discontentment for your pet. Fatty or spicy food should be avoided, as they can lead to gastrointestinal upsets for your Pets. Turkey and chicken are tradition- al festive favourites enjoyed by people as well as their pets. How- ever, turkey and chicken bones can prove very dangerous if they splin- ter and get lodged in your pet's Last Chance to Dress your windows at 50% off �.:., 1)IA••Ilt(C(• Whether you want the layered look, '• i• or the bare essentials, Hunter Douglas will dress your windows for success.

Oni. 235-0173 throat or intestine. If you do treat your pet to chicken and turkey, en- sure the portions are small and completely free of bones. Small portions are less likely to cause up- set to your pet's digestive system. If your pet is on a special diet, it would be wise to check with your veterinarian before giving them any treats. Felines are especially sneaky; they can quickly and quiet- lyump onto a counter or table, grab a bite and be gone before you know it. Tinsel is a common adornment for a beautiful Christmas tree, but it can also prove deadly to your fe- line. If your cat plays with string or tinsel, the material could get trapped by the feline's rough tongue and swallowed String_or tinsel can - block the animal's intestine and this can be fatal. Signs to watch out for include: lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and pain in the abdomen. If you suspect your cat has ingested tinsel seek immediate veterinary care. If this is the case, emergency surgery will be neces- sary to remove it. Cats, being naturally curious creatures, are often attracted to the decorated Christmas tree and may attempt to climb the tree. Safely se- cure the tree at the base and the top. Be sure to conceal all electrical cords to prevent your pet from chewing them. Some common holiday plants are toxic to pets. Three of the more common being the poinsettia, and the berries of the holly and mistle• toe. Often cats will find these plants enticing, but if they are eaten they can cause severe vomiting, di- arrhea and abdominal pain. Keep this in mind if you plan to purchase such a plant for a pet owner. When shopping for pet gifts, re- member to assess the safety of a toy. Do not purchase toys that have ribbons, bells. strings or other re- movable pieces such as squeakers The tiny parts could be easily swal- lowed. If you are unsure about the safety of a pct toy check with a qualified pct store supply attendant. Do not forget your pct at Christ- mas. Animals are often ignored during this hectic time of the year as their human guardians are at par- ties and other festive events. Try in- volving the animal in some of the festivities, remembering that your pet's daily routine has likely been disturbed. These disturbances can be especially upsetting for puppies and kittens. Escape from that hectic environment and spend some quiet time with your pct. rf e Mernf We're tuning up to wish all our many customers and friends a Christmas that's perfect in every way!
