2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 15, 1986 (From page 1) week she is angry because residents of the area were not notified by of- ficials that rabies was confirmed in the animal. She believes that if the Health Unit had confirmation of rabies on Monday, a notice should have been placed in the local newspaper warning residents of the community. She said people in her neighbourhood found out by word of mouth that the dog was rabid. Mr. Robertson told the Star the dog was picked up about two miles north of Cawker's Creek subdivision and while the Unit does make efforts to notify people within a two mile radius, he said they haven't got enough staff to go door-to-door in residential areas telling people that a rabid dog was found. Several neighbourhood dogs will have to be quarantined because of the incident, for three months if they have had rabies shots in the past year, and for six months if they haven't had shots in the last year. According to Mr. Robertson, the dog in question did not bite anyone and the contact was by "indirect exposure." Ironically, this incident happened within a couple of weeks of a Health Unit sponsored "Rabies Awareness Week"' in Durham Region. «Mr. Robertson said incidents like this are the reasons why all dog -- TIRE SALE owners should make sure their pets receive rabies shots, and that dog owners must not let their pets roam at large, especially in rural areas. He also said that parents have a responsibility to try to keep their kids away from stray dogs, no mat- ter how friendly they may appear. Anyone who-may have come in contact with a stray dog matching the description of this one should get (From page 1) | students enrolled. The Ministry rates the school for 336 students, while the Board rating is for 275. At R.H. Cornish, there are 1,049 students (enrolled as of Jan. 1/86). The rating capacity by the Ministry is 979, while the Durham Board rates the school for 734 students. The Board is projecting that four more portables will be needed in Scugog Township schools this fall to accommodate further increases in enrollemnts. Durham York MPP Ross Steven- son issued a statement Monday morning that he is "pleased' with the allocations for Port Perry.

Rabies is a contagious disease which can be transmitted to other animals or man. The virus causing this disease is present in the saliva of infected animals. To cause infec- tion in humans the virus enters the body mainly through a bite, scratch or other skin abrasions. Anyone who feels that they may have been ex- classes in September, 1987. Over the past few weeks, the Board and Scugog Township coun- cil have worked out an agreement for seven acres of land in the nor- thwest corner of the Port Perry Fairgrounds. The Board has agreed to pay the Township $102,500 for this piece of municipal land. However, this would mean the Port Perry Fair would have to re- locate to a new site adjacent to the Scugog Arena and at this moment the proceedings have hit a snag as ~ the lease agreement between the Township and the Fair Board on the present Fairgrounds property has not been broken. The directors of the Fair Board at a meeting last week decided to seek legal advice on how the lease should GULF MEANS MORE All-Season Steel Belted Radials SUGG.

Money for new school the land to the Durham Board until the existing lease with the Fair Board has been surrendered. According to several sources con- tacted by the Star last week (who asked not to be named) the whole issue of the lease breaking has become "very sticky' and complicated. Fair Board ina legal wrangle (From page 1) Meanwhile, the Durham Board of Education and Scugog Township council have come to terms for the sale of seven acres (northwest cor- ner) of the existing Fairgrounds as the site for a new elementary school. But if there are legal problems sur- rounding the lease between the Fair Board and the municipality, this land cannot be sold to the Board. "It has become a very sticky issue," was the way one person close to the issue described it last week. Also on Monday of this week, the Durham Board officially announc- ed that it has approval from the pro- vincial government for the grant money to build the new school. The Board wants to build on the Fairgrounds site and wants to get construction started this fall with the school open for classes in September 1987. Much of the opposition to moving the Fair to a new site stems from horse owners who fear a new site will not include a race track. Others opposed to the move say developing a new fair site adjacent to the arena could be very expensive and they want to know where the money will come from. Opponents also say there has not been enough information about the proposed move and that events have happened too quickly to allow for proper planning. The impasse has left the Board of »-§ Education hanging in limbo with its plan for a new school on the Fairgrounds site. The Star has learned that the Board wants the transfer of land completed no later than June 1. If it is still held up by that time, the Board could be forc- ed to scramble to find a new site elsewhere or delay construction of the school for another year.
