Can something as simple as a rain
barrel help to reduce sewer over-
flows and conserve water? To find
out, more than 1,000 Wingham

rain barrel as part of the
IBC/Wingham Rain Barrel Pilot
Project. The pilot is a partnership

Congrats to Atom LL
Dear Editor,
As the hockey
season in Lucknow
is coming to a
close, the Lucknow
Atom Local
League team
reflect on a season
that can only be
described as once
in a lifetime.
The group of
kids on this team
had the benefit of
being coached by
the most remark-
able coaching staff.
Head coach David
Errington along
with Chris Irwin,
Pat Murray and
Lynn Murray led
their team to, an

Signal -Star Staff
Kennel sizes are
up for debate in
A s h f i e 1 d-
Colborne-
Wawanosh for the
third year in a row,
and this time,
council decided to
react and change
their standing
bylaw.
The debate over
kennel size was
instigated by cor-
respondence from
Ina Jurjens, a resi-
dent of RR 7
Lucknow, who is
interested in run-
ning a licensed
kennel for the lap
dogs that she
breeds.
ACW's current
bylaw requires
walls in kennels to
be six -feet • tall,
which Jurjens does
not feel is fair, say-
ing her smaller
breed is safe in her
own 42 inch ken-
nels.
ACW's bylaw is
a simple one,
which has a stan-
dard for all ken-
nels, versus rulings
for different size of
dogs, which
Jurjens feels is not
adequate. She
claims that A Code
of Practice for
Canadian Kennel
Operations has
more favourable
conditions, like a
graduated system
for different size
dogs.
Bob Trick, the
Animal Control
Officer for _ both
ACW and the
Township of North
Huron, addressed
the issue, stating
that he is simply
enforcing rules
that ACW sets.
Trick also
claimed that while
her current breeds
may not be able to
jump Jurjens' cut-
rent pens, other
breeds that fit ito
the same weight
class (less than 12
kilograms) like
Jack Russel
Terriers, can jump
that high.
Coun. Carl.
Sloetjes points out
that Jurjens is
pulling specific
parts of the Code
to fit her reason-
ing, and that if they
adopt it as a whole,
it will require
changes across the
township, which
Trick echoed,
warning that exist-
ing kennels might
need to change, as
square footage and
height is different
for big breeds.
Sloetjes 'men-
tioned that this is
the third year
Jurjens has
requested this, and
questioned the
logic in changing a
bylaw because of
repeated requests.
He also warned
that people have
tried to cheat the
system before, and
that a woman in
North Huron,
whom Jurjens cites
as an :example, is
guilty of that.
"I got onto [the
cited breeder's
property], and she
said that she only
had small bleeds. I
got as far -as the
kennel and saw
that she had black
labs, so I didn't
renew her license,"
Trick explained.
ACW residents
are also given an
opportunity to own
and breed dogs
without having a
kennel license,
provided they : buy
tags for each of
their dogs (which
can be far more
expensive).
"In ACW you
can have four dogs
in urban areas, but
out in the country
you can have as
many as you
want... last year
[Jurjens] bought
tags for 55 dogs,"
he said.
Coun. Doug
Miller hit on a
workable solution,
where ACW would
simply enforce a
graduated height
system, where a
gate
kennel. has to be a
certain height for
dogs of a certain
weight.
Council also dis-
missed the fact that
Jurjens built her
kennels knowing
the rules, and
decided not to fol.
low them.
Wishing to deal
with the issue
instead of having it
come ' up in the
future, Council
decided to have a
bylaw that allows
dogs less than 12
kilograms to • be
kenneled with at
least 39 inch walls.
