12 -- Sei Citizen May 31, 1994 Safety more important than parking spaces To the Editor; Regarding Mr. Kneale's letter on staff parking at the plaza, May 25: I appreciate your concern over the parking of staff in the front lot and I agree that it is a concern. However, a concern of mine is the safety of parking in the back lot. Being a 16-year-old female, I am aware and frightened by Lots of concerns To the Editor; As a parent and resident of . Scugog Island I am concerned about the proposed Gaming Facility at the north end of Scugog Island. I have read Chief Gary Edgar's Background Information letter and my concerns are: 1. Residents are upset and this could eliminate any hope of good relationships. 2. The traffic is a main problem as there is one road in and out. This could result in congestion and cause many accidents. To upgrade the road to hold more cars will be in our hands as taxpayers. Also, with traffic ngestion it will be difficult in emergency situations. 3. Hydro, 1 understand, is at a maximum already and changes in hydro up here will increase -- Tis "Tle Season -- Garden and Pruning Specialist GARDEN PRUNING HW Design MW Evergreens MW Shade Trees H Planting HW Flowering Shrubs HM Maintenance ® Ornamental Cedars our hydro costs. Septic system for a building of that size could also be a problem. 4. It's a beautiful unique area here, quiet and peaceful, moderate change would be acceptable, but not extreme change. 6. Additional problems will result if liquor is involved. 6. People aresalready upset with the NDP government spending money while others are in big-hardship. Let us have our say as Saspayers and concerned As one last t let's be realistic, Scugog Island with its limited access is definitely not the place to have this large Gaming Facility.

To a man this may not seem like a big deal but as any female will tell you, it is a concern to us. I do not feel safe walking to my car in the back lot on days when I finish after dark, since there are no overhead lights behind the stores. Perhaps you should id when I finish work before dark, but on Thursday or Friday evenings when I finish after nine o'clock, I will park in the furthest corner of the front lot where 1 have been parking on such evenings, unless lights are installed. 1 am sure that patrons of the plaza would not object to this, since it is. ensuring the safety that safety factor of your employees and the employees within the plaza, because I'm sure it's on the minds of most of your. female employees. I will be more than happy to comply with the rule on days of the employ of the stores they shop at, and since I am not parking in any prime spots close'to the buildings. I resent your comment of being too lazy to park in the back lot because that simply is not the case. I know of women Rabies cases in Fifty three animals have been submitted by Agriculture Canada from Durham Region for rabies testing since January 1st 1994. Nine of these animals had rabies. The distribution by species is as follows: Fox 3; Skunk 3; Cattle 2; Sheep 1; Total 9.

Raccoon Rabies is not known to be in Ontario at the present time but raccoons are also susceptible to the fox rabies virus strain. With raccoon rabies just 20Km from the Canadian border at Niagara it is a good time to encourage the public to stay away from raccoons and to avoid hand raising raccoon young that appear to be abandoned. Raccoon stool is also a potential hazard to humans as it may contain parasites that can infect people, a disease known as VLM. Ci who have been attacked behind such buildings, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, especially not over a parking spot. This is a scary reality but it is happening in Port Perry and I think it's time everyone including you, opened their eyes to it. Perhaps you should concentrate more on your public relations rather than busying yourself monitoring who is parking where, because in reality safety is more important than convenience. Thank you, Kristi van Kessel, Port Perry Durham wild animals act like cartoon characters. Children have often been known to approach sick or injured wildlife and are sometimes bitten. This is especially true for small rodents such as mice, voles, squirrels and chipmunks. Owners of domestic animals should ensure that animals under their care have been recently vaccinated against rabies. Two low cost Rabies Vaccination Clinics will be held in Scugog Township in June. 1. Prince Albert Hall - June 4 1994, 10 am to 2 pm 2.
