This is one of the four meals she is served each day at the Bowmanville Zoo. coat. By Michele DeLorenzo The Bowmanville Zoo is experiencing a spring population explosion and several species of newborn animals can be seen exploring exploring their new surroundings. On a visit to the zoo you may run into Clementine, a delightful, six-month-old dromedary. Or Dudley, a zebra who is approaching the tender age of four weeks. There are approximately 120 species of animals at the zoo's 45 acre site, according to co-director Alan Connell. Such rarities as the Indian Muntjac, the world's smallest smallest deer species, the Vietnamese Vietnamese pot-bellied pig and gibbons, members of the ape family, can be seen Soup's on. Dudley, a baby zebra, is always happy to see Alan Connell, co-director of the Bowmanville Zoo. Especially at lunchtime. thriving in this natural environment. environment. "People come to see the exotic animals and they like the open concept," Mr. Connell Connell said. "The only animals in pens are those that may hurt people or those with a tendency to run away." Connell pointed out the fact that monkeys can be very vicious, yet he has seen parents lift a small child over the fence to get closer to these animals. "A child could suffer a serious bite as a result." The care and feeding of the baby animals can be a full-time job. This year the zoo's co-directors Alan, Thomas and their father Keith have hired a full-time exotic animal trainer. Jamie McLeod hails from Santa Barbara, California and is a graduate of an exotic exotic animal training and management course at Moorpark City College. "We want to offer the public public something extra with improved improved animal shows this year," Mr. Connell said. Jamie McLeod will demonstrate demonstrate training techniques and explain how training evolves. "I will also answer questions and discuss the care and habitat of the animals." The new babies must be treated with tender, loving care Alan said. "It's still a thrill seeing new animals being born, even after 27 years!" Clementine and Dudley are among the young animals animals who must be bottle- fed. Though the newborn animals must have mother's first milk to inherit the necessary antibodies, mother and offspring are usually separated at a very early stage. "Without the antibodies the baby may pick up diseases. diseases. Mother's milk is full of colostrum and builds up their immunity," Connell explained. Being bottle-fed, the animals animals become totally dependent dependent on people. "This tames the animal completely and they recognize us. The mother gets very worn down if she has to feed her young and'we lose a year of breeding," breeding," he said. Clementine consumes 80 ounces of Borden folac, a heated milk supplement, at each of her four daily feedings. feedings. The animals of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Zoo are under the expert care of Dr. John Hig- ginson of the Bowmanville Veterinary Clinic. "John will never give up on an animal animal if there is a chance it can be saved," Alan said. You can tell animals are happy if they breed. We are the first zoo in Canada to successfully breed gibbons. The Metro Zoo has a couple of our babies on loan and will eventually try to breed them." According to Mr. Connell the weather has been the zoo's worst enemy this year. "People want to get out in the springtime but there hasn't been much opportunity. opportunity. We had a very good year last year selling 500 season tickets. Attendance will improve with the weather." weather." The zoo, located on Highway Highway 2, is open every day from 10 a.m. to dusk until October 15. Admission prices are $25 for a family season membership or adults pay $3.50, seniors $2.50 and children $2 for a daily pass. men : RADIO SHACK COLOR COMPUTER 64K (J Fftff '7 draw u.y; BOWMANVILLE AUDIO VISIONS ■ «■SîfSS'K. -rfSïggfiX en«frn Am véMsiSb E*a n F0 * q *SBBQ Xu, ■■ \ -V \ !

Problems in the plan include the depth of the storm sewers and the maintenance of the required storm water retention ponds. Difficulties in the 1981 document were first uncovered when developers developers applied to CLOCA for permission permission to proceed with projects in the Courtice area. Mr. Campbell explained after his meeting with council members that the Authority is dealing with four to six plans of subdivision at the moment and he added that other plans are expected. Based on the recommendations of the storm water report, some development development proposals have been approved approved by CLOCA. But the general manager stressed the importance of a comprehensive plan to handle the water runoff resulting from increased increased urbanization. "We are very quickly reaching the limit on what can be approved in that manner," he said. As an example of the kind of problems problems the town could face if it proceeds proceeds without proper planning, he noted that Oshawa has faced a $400,000 expenditure just to repair 100 yards of a creek. The general purpose committee agreed that the original drainage plan is onerous. However, it has adopted a course of action which would still allow growth to occur. The committee is recommending that council require development to conform to the general objectives relating to water quality as corf- tained in the Courtice Storm Watef Management Study. CLOCA will be advised that the town will consider provisions for storm water quality in development proposals in the Courtice Urban Area only where proposals are practical and can be easily maintained. maintained. As a general principle, council would require developers to keep water runoff rates after development development equal to what they were before before development occurred. During discusion at the committee committee meeting, Councillor Marie Hubbard Hubbard spoke of the need for development development in Courtice. She noted that the Durham Region Region has invested $15 million in water and sewer facilities necessary necessary for the urbanization of the Courtice community. "I think it's critical that we proceed with some development in Courtice," she said. She also added that the existing report on storm drainage for the area would not allow such development development if each detail of its recommendations recommendations were followed. "If we were to adopt this report, no development development could proceed in Courtice."
