2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 25,1985 Cameron-Hill Runs in Ward 1 Bernice Cameron-Hill has announced that she will run for election as Regional Councillor in Ward One in the Town of Newcastle. Mrs. Cameron-Hill attended Law School in Toronto and has specialized specialized for many years in real estate, taxation, government laws and bylaws. bylaws. She worked for Fred Gardiner who designed Metropolitan Toronto. She spent years working with a large Toronto Real Estate Law Firm which specialized in construction corporations. Her background in the study of law construction would be an asset to the Regional Government Government of Durham. "The Town of Newcastle has been in difficulties with taxes, hydro and services, since it's inception as a Town," states Mrs. Cameron-Hill. Regional Government was designed to alleviate the problems of the towns within Durham Region.. Through mismanagement and apathy, the Regional Government only succeeded in adding to the taxation and monetary problems of the area. Ward One is bearing the largest burden of taxation and hydro costs. "Wake up Newcastle," Mrs. Cameron-Hill said in her announcement announcement this week. "Look toward changes in the Council in the Town as well as the Region, With the present Councils you have deteriorated. deteriorated. You can only improve your lot with complete and total changes." Pup Donated for Guide Dog From Page One Nicky, a rolly-polly Labrador Labrador puppy from Labwell Kennels, in Newtonville, has embarked on a career as a dog guide for some visually visually impaired Canadian. He left his home this month to join the training program of Canine Vision Canada, the country's new dog guide training centre in Oakville. Meira Wheeler, of Lab- well Kennels, explains that although he's only eight weeks old, she believes he has what it takes to become the "eyes" for some visually impaired person. The pup has a "laid back" personality and is not easily frightened. In fact, he might even be described as a "plodder" but that's the kind of animal the dog guide school is looking for. In addition, Nicky isn't the least bit shy--another personality personality trait that should make him a successful guide. Mrs. Wheeler explains that the Canine Vision Canada Canada training centre in Oakville Oakville was founded in 1983 and a former school is being renovated to accommodate the canine and human clients it will serve in years to come. The school is a project of Lions International. And although although the cost of taking a visually impaired person and his dog through training training is approximately $5,600, the school plans to provide instruction, transportation, room, board, and dogguides to qualified Canadians at no cost. "They hope to have 20 graduates by the end of the year," explained Mrs. Wheeler. She adds that the goal of the school is 120 dog and owner teams per year. The formal opening of the school is November 9. Nicky, the Labrador puppy donated by the local kennel, is one of many golden retrievers, Labradors, Labradors, and German Shepherds provided for the school. Most come from professional professional kennels such as Labwell. These kennels can ensure each dog is healthy and has the required tem- perment. But Nicky will have to do some growing up before he becomes a dog guide. He will spend the next 12 >< MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY S S Q § Ci Q f : EIED M'tJV.'AV MO ions -1, •tk o $ *< S o Ï MIDWAY MOTORS : 1300 Dundas ot.

Then he will go through three months of rigorous training required for all dogs entrusted with the important task of guiding guiding the blind. If he successfully successfully passes the first stage, he will participate in the final phase of training. That's when a visually impaired impaired person will work with the dog over a four week period and the two will leave the Canine Vision Vision Canada headquarters as a team. "They learn to build their trust and experience by working together," explains Mrs. Wheeler. Mrs. Wheeler said that an upcoming Walk-a-dog-a- thon will be held in Ajax to help raise funds for the dog guide school. She will be walking one of her own dogs in this event and would appreciate donations donations from anyone who would like to sponsor her in the 10 kilometre walk.

Son Rise Factory Activities From Page One "Our primary concern is youth," he said, "and the youth in this community community need attention.

Reverend Reilly told the council that he had never received any di rect complaints about the activities 1 at The Factory. Councillor Hubbard said she had often been impressed with the number number of young people at the centre. Unfortunately, the use of the building on Wellington Street in Bowmanville as a "drop-in" centre for young people contravenes the zoning by-law, and the group have had to apply for an amendment to the by-law and an amendment to the official plan. Barry Reilly asked the Council to consider refunding the fees charged for amendment applications, applications, given the charitable and nonprofit nonprofit status of his group. 1 But his main point in appearing before the elected officials was tb inform them of the Son Rise Christian Christian Ministries' activities and to ask Council "to assist us to continue to provide programs for youth."

The councillor cited the impact of new development on existing taxpayers taxpayers as one of his major concerns and he noted that these impacts must often be resolved at the regional regional level. Councillor Taylor noted that while the Town of Newcastle has been quite effective at keeping taxes down at the local level, he feels the regional government has not been as effective in controlling the tax rate. He said the town needs industrial and commercial assessment and added that such projects require the co-operation of the regional level of government. The planned Energy Park associated associated with the Darlington Nuclear Nuclear Generating Station is one example of a new development which the councillor hopes to see.
