Canacra Aocna Member of the Canadian Com munfty Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Take the Dog Bites out of Summer Summer brings everyone outdoors. Unfor- tunately, this can cause higher probability of incidents occurring when various factions meet. A hot issue in the area right now is dog bites. There are details given in the Huron -Kinloss Council report in this edition concerning the two main cases being addressed in Ripley and Lucknow, therefore I will not repeat them in this column. However, it was pointed out that this is a very delicate issue that triggers high emotions that draw out responses which can have far-reaching effects on a lot of people when allegations begin to fly. Of course it is the dog owners' responsibility to be in care and control of their pet. As humans, it is not always possible to be perfect at all times. Bad things happen. It is what takes place after the incident that makes all of the difference in the world. Responsible owners do their part to remedy any issues to ensure that it is safe for both their pet and others in the future. However there are also irresponsible owners who do not concern themselves with those around them. They choose to ignore the problem and treat all recommendations with total disregard. It is human nature to retain memories that have great impact. Unfortunately, it is most often the negative things that happen that remain the strongest memories. Although this is human nature, it does not follow that these remembered instances should colour all future actions and decisions. Truth and fact should prevail over insinuation and emotion. In a perfect world this would always be the case. In reality many grave injustices take place when emotion is allowed to rule behavior and responses. As members of a larger community, it is also a responsibility to educate ourselves. To this purpose, Lary Lindsay of Dream Dogs Groom- ing and Training in Lucknow has teamed up with the Lucknow Public Library to offer train- ing on dog bite prevention. As a reminder, the "Be A Tree" program takes place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 31 and "Safety with Dogs in the Community" at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 7 at the library. Register for these programs at Lucknow Public Library 519-528-3011 or at DreamDogs at 611 Campbell Street, Lucknow. Learn what you can do to prevent a bad situa- tion from becoming much worse. Have fun at the fair Lucknow Fall Fair Facts Submitted Saturday afternoon at the fair is a fun time! It's the perfect time to socialize by visiting or participating in games for individuals and teams. There's entertainment inside the arena if you want to sit and listen to some oldies from the 40's, 50's and 60's provided by "Two of a Kind': Youngsters, or those young at heart, can meet Barry 0; a musician, magician and ventriloquist. There are two shows: 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Don't forget the pedal tractor pull, bale rolling, bale tossing, and arm wrestling events. The volunteers of the Lucknow and District Fire Department will once again be putting on an impres- sive demonstration. Check it out too.

Several members of the Luckow Sepoy Ranees (pronounced raw knees) travelled up to Southampton last week for a days outing. We stopped for coffee in Paisly at Marty's, a great place for a coffee or lunch, and then proceeded to "The Market" for a bit of shopping. We then had a great lunch at the Elk and Finch in Southampton and then spent some time at the Amphitheature, a beautiful spot currently undergoing renovations which should make it even more lovely. We then spent some time at Fairy Lake (behind the museum) in Southampton where some of us walked around the lake while the rest of us watched the ducks, turtles, and really huge carp enjoying the lovely cool water and being fed by the trained people. All in all, it was a lovely day, hot, but lovely. On a personal note, that sprained wrist of mine (yes, it's still bothering me) isn't a sprain after all. After all these weeks, I finally went and got it x-rayed, and lo and behold it's a fracture, but it is healing up in it's own time.
