Location difficulties have been solved, and three possible sites in Clinton are under serious consideration for the country wide shelter. Money is now the main concern. At the Huronia Branch annual meeting in Clinton, the few members in attendance learned that the shelter reserve fund now has $6,660 in savings. OHS determines that it costs between $50,000 and $60,000 to pur- chase land and build an animal shelter. Rick Koury, OHS senior inspector from Newmarket 'noted, "We're very concerned that there is no animal shelter available in the area for boarding, adoption or eu- thanasia.” "The branch must now decide if they are in the position to set up continual fund rais- ing to finance the shelter," he said. Mr. Koury .said that the branch needed "members' rr support to help build and maintain the shelter. Currently there are more than 200 members in the Huronia Branch. He advised branch members to use pro- motion and fund raising as the major aims f the year. "It's only through membership fees that the Humane Society exists. We are a charitahle, non-profit agency," he noted. Mr. Koury said that even before a Huronia shelter i ; established, the local OHS branch can takt action to protect animals by ap- pointing area agents. Agentsinvestigate animal complaints and take the necessary • action to remedy them. Mr. Koury said he is looking for people who are interested in the job. Investigation work averages three to four hours a week. Agents must be mature individuals who have some knowledge of the law. OHS pro- vides the training coursefor agents. • Animal abuse investigation can be time consuming work, and there aren't enough agents in, the province to carry ,the workload. Additional assistance comes from the Ontario Provincial Police, municipal police forces arid animal centrol. officers, he explained. "We get a lot of unwarranted com- WEEKLY WEATHER 1985 1984 Feb. 5 - 6 -22 0 7 -7 -11 - 4 11 -9 20 -9 -16 -7 21 -5 20 7 -11 - 2 14 - .5. 15r-' 3 0 0 -9 4 2 Rain • 14 mm Snow 14 cm plaints," Mr. Koury noted. "Eighty per cent of the complaints fall into this category." Neighbors complaining about barking dogs is one of the most common problems. "The shelter may have to wait a wnue, put an agent could work immediately," Mr. Koury said. "You don't heed a shelter to vono„rp b"1., \/n., "' ' ,tjfl CPIi4 nnlM"�c rr Presently, ig anyone has a complaint about animal abuse, they are asked to con- tact a board member of the Huronia Branch OHS. The board member in turn contacts Mr. Koury and he assts police to make a preliminary investigation. Mr. Koury noted that Tillsonburg doesn't have an animal shelter, but he travelled to the area to'seize six horses after complaints were received. When animals have been abandoned, the local animal control officer should be advis- ed. As well, people may take animals to the OHS animal shelter in Woodstock. The Woodstock shelter is the only one in the area. ` Establishment of a Huron County shelter has been the aim. of the local branch 'since it was formed over two years ago. "People will support you once the shelter is established. They will bring in animals, will adopt animals and will also bring in revenue," Mr. Koury advised. He noted that a high profile location for the building would encourage people to use the shelter and would promote a quality reputation: He advised that once the land is purchas- ed, the local branch should send out a major appeal throughout the county to help finance construction or renovation of the building. Fund raising efforts would be directed at all segments of the population, through the general public, businesses, corporations, and municipal councils. Individuals, service clubs and organizations are also welcome to make donations to the shelter fund. OHS will provide financial assistance to mortgage the purchase. Once the shelter is established, a deficit position can be ex- pected for one to three years, Mr. Koury ad- vised. If the shelter isn't operating in a pro- fitable position by that time, OHS will close it. ' Fund raising and promotion towaras the establishment of an animal shelter will be the aims of the Huronia Branch in 1985. "We're hoping that in 1985 we can get some property.andtart making a go of it," - encouraged executive member Catherine McKnight of Clinton.

(Shelley McPhee photo) By Stephanie Levesque There is no individual sex education cbunselling by public health nurses in elementary schools, Dr., Susan Tamblyn told the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board. The Perthmedical officer of health and her Hurongounterpai-t, Dr. Harry Cieslar, were at the school board's Jan. 28 meeting. The two were there to discuss the health unit's activities in schools before the board signs an agreement to allow health unjtstaff into the schools. Trustee Ron Murray said that as ling asr the public health nurses are aware of the Roman Catholic philosophy when involved in health counselling he is not worried about the counselling. Last fall trustees talked about individual counselling and wondered what the nurses were saying to the students, particularly in the area:of sex education. Dr. Tamblyn said counselling in the elementary schools' is usually about emo- tional problems or headaches. Director of education William Eckert said there have been no problems with the public health nurses in the past. The health unit does a pre-schoolassess- ment of each child entering kindergarten. This includes a vision and hearing test as well as recording medical history. I • In succeeding school years, the health unit staff immunize the students as needed,' con- duct further vision and hearing tests and run a dental program. Both medical officers of health said the health units' professional staff is available as a resource to teachers.
