WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1982, PAGE 7 Brok lin Byli nes By ROXANNE REVELER Cali655-4951 with Items for this column. Hi there: I'm going to stop reading magazines. After many years of perusing, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd druther not. DON'T PANIC Perhaps you are not aware, but new lights have been installed at the ball diamond and in the arena which will be much brighter, taking advantage of the extra power which will in turn give extra wat- tage, These lights will be turned on soon, and Wayne DeVeau, director of parks and recreation, has adiv- These lights will be turned on soon, and Wayne DeVeau, director of parks and recreation, has ad- vised that it will necessitate burning them con- tinually for a minimum of two, possibly three days. Don't think that the department of recreation is being foolhardy with your tax dollars by wasting hydro. This burning process is vital to ensure the proper operation of the lights in the future. When this period.is over, the lights will be turned on only when necessary.

She is a crazy coward who tries to be a hero; a half black-Lab, half-Setter who is convinced she is a Chihuahua; a delightful black bundle who doesn't feel she is a dog at all - rather a fuzzy wuzzy person. Even to us, the ones who love her, she occasion- ally can be a proverbial pain. To those who don't know her, especially those who don't care for dogs, she can be much worse. It is to those people we try to be fair. Unless there is someone outside to keep an eye on her when she romps, she is tethered. I wish all animal owners were the same. Unfortunately they aren't. I have received many complaints from residents, both in town and ifí the rural areas, who are sick and tired of animals making a nuisance of themselves. Personally, I knowof a Doberman, and a Spaniel who make the rounds of the main street early every morning. I don't know who they belong to and don't want to, it would probably cause bad feelings. People. cannot put their garbage out the night before, or it is strewn all over Brooklin. The only alternative is to put it out before 7 a.m. Friday mor- ning because of the early pick-up. This is a crummy way to start the day. If you have a dog of your own, you know they start to bark the minute another dog sets foot on the property. This is greatly appreciated·early in the morning or late at night. You can't even get angry at your own animal. They are only doing their job as far as they are concerned. I could go into detail about the problems of killed grass and shrubs, and the inevitable doggie doo-doo heaps, but I hardly think that is necessary. We all know about that. The point I am trying to make is simple. Not everyone likes dogs, and I'm not letting cat owners off the hookeither - they can be just as much of a nuisance. Even those who do have pets have enough to contend with looking after their own animais, let alone anyone elses. Try to have a little more con- sideration. Don't let your animais roam the coun- tryside getting into trouble. You wouldn't let your kids do it ... your pets are your responsibility too, perhaps more so because they can't reason for themselves.
