4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 28,1990 Animal Lovers Show Off Best Friends at 4H Pet Show by Lisa C. Brown What do you get when you bring together three dogs, three hamsters, a raccoon, a budgie and a horse? Why, a 4-H pet show, of course. The Animal Lovers' 4- H Club held their first pet show and display on March 17 at the Enfield United Church. The kids spent the last six weeks learning that animals require a lot of care and attention. They had to accept responsibility responsibility for the care and management management of a companion animal and finish one project in order to complete complete the program. The leader of the club, Louise Alloway, taught the kids how to groom animals: animals: "I. have my own dog and the kids put drops in his eyes, groomed. him and even clipped him. The dog looked amazing," she said. The group also went on several field trips to kennels kennels and animal hospitals in the area. They went to the Taunton Road Ani mal Hospital as well as the Tagamar Kennels. Paul Heard, who brought his golden hamster, hamster, Harry, to the recent show, was able to list seven seven or eight different types of hamsters right off the top of his head. According to Paul, "hamsters are like vacuum vacuum cleaners because they will suck food right up, especially sunflower seeds." Lisa Bortolazzo's project project centred around her pet raccoon, Booboo. The kids were thoroughly thoroughly enjoying themselves themselves at the pet show, even if Bud, a border Collie, Collie, was dragging poor Asa all around the churchyard and Booboo was running out of junk food. All the kids did agree that of the many things they had done together, the show was their favorite. favorite. Dannielle Alloway liked it best because she got a chance to see every one's pets and touch, them. In addition, the pet show consisted of participants participants walking their animal animal friends and demonstrating demonstrating any tricks they could do. Participants also had to answer questions questions from the judge, Walter Walter Vice, who has been in-. volved with 4-H for a number of years and had a lot of questions for each club member. Although the Animal Lover's Club is a new 4-H program, it's part of a long tradition of learning which 4-H has fostered for the past 75 years. During that time, young people across Canada Canada have taken the 4-H pledge which commits: "My head to clearer thinking, My heart to greater loyalty, My hands to larger service, service, My health to better living, living, For my club, my community, community, and my country." The programs that 4-H Asa Schoonderbeck and his border collie, "Bud" were among the participants participants in the recent 4-H program for pet-lovers. On Saturday, March 17, the group got together at the Enfield United Church to display their pets. ||| WINDOW AND DOOR CENTRE □ASH WOOD A ,'V . X./' _ :■■■.> /./.

We had three sons born in the same delivery room at Memorial Hospital. Two have birth certificates stating stating Bowmanville and the third says Newcastle. It never never settled well with us. It was sort of like saying two where born in Canada and the third elsewhere. The birthright had been taken away. Ha aving operated a busi ness that drew clients from other communities, we too can attest to the confusion created giving directions with two Newcastles. One of your recent editorials editorials suggested a name change from the current Town of Newcastle, to The Pine Ridge District. This seems like a good idea to us as it would allow all of the communities to be recognized recognized as belonging to an area, yet still retain their individual individual community names that they're so rightly proud of.
