2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, July 6,1994 Stray Dog at Animal Shelter Finds New Home with Mayor Flag Raising Encourages Employers to Hire Students | » | VBtgjWBBI / by Laura J. Richards He was picked up by the Claring- ton animal shelter for being a stray. Since then, he has strayed into the heart of the municipality's top politician -- Mayor Diane Hamre. He, Buddy, is now a fixture at her home on Concession Road Eight. He has fallen into the routine Hamre keeps and loves her company. company. She told The Statesman she looked at a number of different breeders during her search for a dog, but as luck would have it, Hamre found her dream dog at the local shelter. A habit of dropping into the local animal shelter to look over potential candidates alerted the staff to. what she was looking for. Among the characteristics she wanted were "clean, good with kids, barks when someone comes to the house and loving." "We (her family) had an Airdale Terrier for 15 years," she noted. So, she wanted a big dog. Buddy, a part black labrador and part Newfoundland dog, is definitely definitely big. She also wanted a fairly young dog. However, her job does not allow for the taking care of a young puppy. puppy. Hamre estimates, Buddy is probably probably about one and one-half years old. She also needed a dog that has already already been trained in a manner of speaking. However, the top requirement for Mayor Hamre was something a little more special and demanding of the potential pet "I had to be able to connect with its eyes." And connect they did. Buddy has been a part of Ham- re's life since early April. "He's a big loving teddy bear," she noted. Hamre noted there are times when "Buddy considers himself to be a lap dog." He likes to put his head on one's lap and have his ears stroked, as this reporter found out. Buddy, like all dogs, also enjoys getting off his chain to tear around the property on which her home is located. "The farthest he has gone is down the road to check out the There is nothing but love between these two, Diane Hamre and her recently adopted Labrador crossed with Newfoundlander dog Buddy. From the time he sets his eyes on her to the time she calls him back before he gets into mischief, the bond they have is what many dog owners share with their pets. B.K .

Staff Sergeant Recalls Career Spanning Thirty Years by Lorraine Manfredo In all itis 30 years on the police force, Angus Way has only had to draw his pistol three times. And on each occasion, it was fired reluctantly to put a severely injured injured animal out of its misery at the side of the road. Until last Thursday, Way was the Staff Sergeant in charge of seven patrol officers at the Newcastle Station Station who are responsible for monitoring monitoring traffic on provincial highways highways 401 and 35/115 and for keeping an eye out for suspicious cargo. Although smuggling has dropped off significantly since cigarette taxes taxes were lowered, careless drivers are still leaving accident victims in their wake, Way notes. Ever optimistic, the 55-year-old police veteran leaves his post certain that these wayward drivers can be re-educated. "The vast majority of people on the roads are excellent drivers," he notes. "It's just those who don't care, who dodge in and out, and who follow too close, who create a danger. Photo radar should change the driving habits of the aggressive driver," he says. Photo radar has been approved for use in Northumberland County but has not yet been approved for Durham Region, however, Way feels approval is imminent. He remains convinced the most effective re-education for aggressive drivers is a hefty fine. "If we hit them in the pocket- book the light has got to come on. If we save one life it's worth it." Each OPP detachment takes it cue from the community it serves, Way says. Through the recently formed Community Policing Committee Committee the Newcastle Detachment heard concerns about speeders. One commuter complained to Way that she felt she was literally being pushed along by others as she headed into Toronto along the 401. It's a sensation people shouldn't have to experience, he says. Angus Way first joined the Ontario Ontario Provincial Police force on February February 3, 1964 as a constable in the Whitby Detachment. Since then he has served in Whitby Whitby Division as a plainclothes criminal criminal investigator from 1970-74, and in 1975, he moved to the Intelligence Intelligence Branch in Toronto where he headed up the Data Centre. He spent most of the 1980's in Computer Services, helping to usher in the current communications network network which replaced reams of paper files. "The biggest change live seen over my career was the introduction of new technology," he said. Staff Sergeant Way has headed up the Newcastle OPP station since January 15,1990. His outlook on life has never turned cynical. "I treat all people with respect. That includes the criminals along with the civic leaders." That's not a lesson he learned in police college, but rather a little wisdom passed on from his parents when he was grow ing up on a farm outside'Napanee. Angus Way has a wife, Barbara, - and two children, Michelle and Ryan. He has no firm plans for his retirement retirement but is eager to head out to- the farm at Tamworth. 1 "I'll relax, maybe cut some wood. I'll find something to do but I'm not out busy looking for it." cows," she noted of her friendly animal. animal. Sometimes Hamre says she can't believe her luck in finding Buddy. Not only is he a loving playful dog, he "must have had owners that cared about him," she noted. The only thing that he has done that wasn't up to snuff was to mark his territory when she first brought him home. However, it was an expected move, and he didn't get scolded for it.
