Page 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, May 20, I99S New Kid on the Block Faces Eviction Karen Puk was given 24 hours to get rid of this orphaned goat she's been caring for at her Bowmanvillc home after someone lodged a complaint with the Municipality of Clarington. Keeping a farm animal on a residential street is against municipal bylaws. Karen is hoping the town will let her keep the animal animal another couple of weeks, or at least until it's off its bottle and can fend for itself on her family farm near Kirby. V _ My Kid" Front page 1 explain it was just temporary temporary arrangement. The new kid on the block was only staying a couple more weeks until it could be weaned and moved to her family farm near Kirby. They wouldn't budge. Town Clerk Patti Barrie said even if the complainant complainant had a change of heart and agreed to drop the matter, the goat is still facing eviction. "This is totally against our bylaw. Now that we're aware of the situation, we have to follow up on it." Any flexibility in terms of extending the deadline would have to come directly directly from municipal council, she says. Puk doesn't dispute the logic of banning farm animals animals in town. It would be insane, she admits, to have a cow or horse, for instance. . But this is a quiet little goat no higher than her knee. Neighborhood dogs bark louder, she says, and the goat is always on a chain or supervised. As its surrogate mother, she feels it's loo soon to move the goat to the farm. "I've got four kids. It's not like I can go off to our farm and Iced an animal every four hours." If seized, the little goat would wind up at a pound- keeper's farm in Clarington until it could be placed or auctioned off. Hoping for Reprieve Puk is hoping the town will grant her a reprieve at least until the animal is weaned. It angers her that someone someone can complain about something she feels doesn't affect them. "All they had to do was come to me to gel the full story." A devoted animal lover, she vows not to let this anonymous complainant deter her from helping other animals in future. In the past she has come to the aid of injured birds, including a big blue heron for Avicarc Bird Rehabilitation center. She has also rescued raccoons and volunteered at the Animal Shelter. "I'm only doing what I feel is right in my heart." BHS Gets Semesters by Lorraine Manfredo Staff Writer Bowmanvillc High School will switch to a semester system this September.
