The car was îowed [rom the scene, so the question was what to do with our German shcp- herd, whîch was also iii the car but fortunatcly unhurt. What would usually happen in this situation is that the dog would be picked up by animal conîrol and taken to the Oakville shelter. But it turncd out that our dog, Hemi, had an angel waîching over him that day lnstcad of sending him off to the pound, Const. Tara Craig îook the lime and trouble to get Hemi home safcly Our house wasn'î far from the accident scene, and Const. Craîg drove Hemi there, let him in and brought the keys back 10 my husband at the hospital. I catît express how much this kindncss meant 10 us. I lcfî an out-of-town business meeting afîer hearing that my husband was at the hospital, so I was able 10 gel there and jusî focus on him. There was no added stress in arranging to gct our dog back home [rom a different îown. And there was no added stress for my husband, who didn't wanî to go off in the ambulance bel ore knowing the dog was okay And there was no added stress for Ilemi, who Bad proba- Bly been trauinatizcd enough alrcady Ils great 10 know that Milton has such wondcrful and caring police officers Thank you Const. Craig. You made a real difference, and us people lîke you who make our town such a great place 10 live.

Higher-density proposai for Milton Heights concerning * from WHERE on page A6 to the cars being parked there I don't know if the com- plaints were based on environ- mental concerus, aesthetics or anti-car ideologies, but they led to the discontinuation of the car parktng agreement. And thus $60,000 of much- needed support for the park was lost. I have 10 wonder whcre the outrage and environmcnîal con- cern bas gone now that theres a proposed highcr-densiîy amendmenî of 40 units per hectare, wbicb is being scriously considered 10 overturu the pre- vious low-density plans oU 1997 and 2004 in Milton Hcights. Maybe the much larger amounts of money involved have somehow gagged and sti- [led the previous outrage and concern for our village-like community that once prevailed. And where is lIte mayor and council in ail Ibis? JusI wondering. DARRYL EZEARD MILTON Packed house seen for memorial service tri Julien mark uarne oï >t.
