People made some mistakes. The police did a super job, They‘ve cleaned up the problem. The problem is solved. Let the courts do their job now. You just report the news. You‘ve done so. Don‘t ruin people‘s lives by putting their names in the paper. I think that they should definitely put the names of the people committing these sex acts in the paper. They should be absolutely published and maybe it would make them think twice before trying it again. I know one of the people that were charged in this offence and I think that they‘ve been punished enough with their families. Don‘t make it any worse by putting their name in the paper without them having the chance to face a judge in public. Believe me, I think you would just be turning your paper into a tabloid and you face no good to yourselves by doing that. I think it would be very malicious and uncalled for and interested people can always show up at the courtroom if they want to see what‘s going on. I believe responsible journalism is a pillar of the society and to publish those people‘s names would be a grave error. I would suggest that interested people should go to the provincial court if they really want to see who has been charged. They should not be exposed to the public and society for judgeâ€" ment until they‘ve had their day in court. That‘s where judgement happens and not in the newspaper. I would suggest very strongly that you carefully consider any decision before you would release names in the newspaper and damage people‘s families and livelihoods before they‘ve had their day in court. I think the names should be published. It was a public washroom and chilâ€" dren use the park and I find it quite disgusting and I think the people conâ€" cerned should have their names published. I think the names of the Shell Park offenders should be published because if there are any doctors or dentists involved in this I think the public needs to know. Also, If I was involved in any heterosexual activity in public I‘m sure my name would be plastered all over the newspaper. Yes, I believe you should publish the names of those people caught in Shell Park. I am a resident of Oakville and I live in the area of Shell Park. I have two small children, and I really feel that because I do live in the area I would like to know more or less if any of these people are living in the area. I would like to protect my children from this kind of thing. I really feel our children are the innocent and that we shouldn‘t worry about protecting the guilty so much as protecting the innocent. Robert Glasbey Advertising Director Norman Alexander Editor Geoff Hill Circulation Director Teri Casas Office Manager Tim Coles Production Manager It is my opinion that something should be done to stop sex acts in public places. These men, if they are pillars of the community, should have enough money to buy themselves a hotel room to do it nice and clean. If they are busy feeling sorry themselves, too bad. With the AIDs problem that we have, they are taking the chance of killing a lot of people. It starts in one place and it snowballs. Something needs to be done. \QUESTION OF THE WEEK No you should not publish any names. I @ am the wife of one of the men charged. I am standing by his side through all of this. fl We are dealing with this matter in order to save our relationship. Please don‘t cause me or my family any more turmoil or pubâ€" _ A lic embarrassment by publishing my husâ€" band‘s name. We all make mistakes. Our _ children and I did not do anything wrong, CA so please do not publish our family name. Hasn‘t this matter been covered enough in your paper. Ian Oliver Publisher e usually take this space to make our own comments on Wissues of the day but today we‘ve made an exception. The issue of men being charged with sexual offenses at the Shell Park washroom, has seen an unprecedented response from the comâ€" munity to our last question of the week which was: ‘Should newspaâ€" pers name men charged by police for committing sex acts at the Shell Park washrooms? We usually require people leave their names and phone numbers. An exception has been made in this case. Speaking out 467 Speers Road, Oakville, Ont.

If Rufus moved any less he‘d have to be reclassified as a garden plant. Rufus® idea of a perfect day is one spend lying on his back with his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth while he passes Fitting that he should sport the colors of a police car, since he‘s almost as wide as one. That was seven years ago. Now, I know what an Australian Shepherd looks like. And my dog isn‘t one. Mind you, he‘d be the Arnold Schwartznegger of Australian Shepherds if he was one. Australian Shepherds are midâ€"size dogs, built light and wiry for all that shepherding they have to do. My dog tips the scales at 85 pounds. He carries his bulk under a coat of short black hair tastefulâ€" ly touched up at the legs and tail tip with splashes of white. I didn‘t know what an Australian Shepherd was, but it sounded kind of exotic, so I bought him. T his is a column about my dog. Rufus is a pudgy, middleâ€"aged mutt who came into my life under false preâ€" tences. The pet store owner assured me, as he was pocketing my cheque for ninety bucks, that the bundle of fur in the cardboard box was pure Australian Shepherd. He‘s barking up the wrong tree That certainly fits Rufus. I‘ve tried everything from dog biscuits to verbal threats and banishment to the basement. Rufus just keeps on barking. "They‘re immature, like teenagers" says biologist Raymond Coppinger, "very hard to train." It‘s a weird thing, dogs barkâ€" ing. Kind of a neurotic habit they picked up when they became domesticated. Wolves only bark when they‘re young. As they mature, wolves develop a more sophisticated language of guttural growls and snarls. But not dogs. But he does have one unsurâ€" passed talent, my Rufus. He can bark. Lord, can he bark. To knock on the front door of my house is to unleash a firestorm of barks and woofs that shiver the timbers and rattle the windows and cause roof shingles to curl. gas. He doesn‘t sit up, beg, fetch sticks or roll over on command. He‘s scared of cats, not fussy about other dogs and basically a bit of chickenbleep when it comes to anything that moves. If he‘s going to bark, he might as well learn a few languages."" ® Which I guess is all Rufus is doing when he barks. He‘s telling the rest of us â€" members of his "pack" â€" that there‘s a sabreâ€" toothed tiger on the front porch. Did you know that dogs bark in _ different _ languages? According to a report called "A Glossary of Sounds Made by Dogs and Cats," pooches which say ‘bowâ€"wow‘ here in Canada, say ‘hafâ€"haf‘ in Czechoslovakia. In Greece they go ‘ravâ€"‘rav‘; in Spain they go ‘guauâ€"guau.‘ Taiwanese dogs say ‘wangâ€" wang‘; Laotian dogs say ‘voonâ€" voon.‘ I think I‘ll read this report to Rufus. Back in the old days when we hung out in caves and carried clubs and spears, it must have been dandy to have fourâ€"legged burglar alarms sleeping beside you. Dogs smell and hear intrudâ€" ers long before dozy old homo sapiens do. Apparently, I‘m lucky. Rufus only barks when somebody comes to the door. Doctor Coppinger claims that dogs may bark at the moon, at the wind or just for the hell of it. He once clocked a sheep dog in Minnesota that barked nonâ€"stop for seven hours. At, as far as Doctor Coppinger could tell, nothing in particular.
