We also enjoy our walk past the Egmondville golf course. One of these days we will drop in for a coffee. We have all become good friends, laughing with some and almost in tears for one who lost her pet dog who was so dear. Isn't this what life is all about? Not worring about buying the necessities (like false teeth:) or whatever, but being glad we are here instead of in a cement vault, when we will, no longer be able to spread cheer. After all we have little time to feel hate - only, love. The Pacemakers will be going on a short holiday in the fall and there will be a few who want to see us go, especially the ones who we wake up easily with our chatter. ) Sorry Joanne): GRADUATES Brenda Wesenberg graduated February 4 from Westervelt Business College with an honors diploma in the Medical Secretarial program.

The board has asked him to Clarify some things on occasion - which may make them assume he's running things. But. that's not the way it is,t1 he said. The staff also felt there was a lack of positive reinforcement by the board,. although the health unit staff "has a reputation among our peers for programs Which are innovative and progressive", the brief stated. Mr. McBurney says the staff, perhaps, feel -the board doesn't get involved in the day-to-day operations. But, because of time constraints, viewing of the operations of the health unit is not possible. Also, Mr. McBurney says staff com- plaint may have something to do with salary negotiations earried out by the board. "It goes back to money. Some may have thought they didn't get the money they should have during negotiations," he said. Pets • .from page l the fining of those who ignore the new Compulsory Rabies Vaccination Program in the county which came into effect on March 2 of this year. Mr. Stirling suggested that perhaps those hired by the municipalities to sell dog tags could also cheek vaccination papers. • • Exeter Reeve 13i11 M ckle asked that the new $50 fine be publicised in the newspapers' to tell the public that if th'e animal is not vac'cinate'd they will subject to a fine. "The county could use this (publicity) as a warning. This would guard against com- ing down on people about vaccinations and them not knowing anything about it,"'he said. Tuckersinith Reeve Robert Bell said he also had doubts about the policing of th'e fine. however, he said it is up to everyone in the county to snake sure that their pets are vaccinated From One of the Pacemakers by Betty McLean What a lovely spring we are having and'it has even. been more pleasant this year We because' e have all shared it together. • The harsh east winds have even heard our 'laughter but were strong enough to make some of us turn back at the first mile and•a quarter. We have had -to use our umbrellas a few times, once when it felt like rain and then turned into a blizzard. But, through it all we laughed and joked, taking time to en- joy 'the scenery, the .first birds - "specially ' all the geese and the ground hogs watching us from their homes near the river. Even the cows gave us the odd moo, likely wondering about these laughing earth people. • It's all been great.
