Nine of these animals had rabies. The distribution by species is as follows: fox-three, skunk-three, cattle-two, sheep- one, total-9. Citizens are cautioned to stay away from wild animals, espe- cially foxes, skunks and rac- coons that appear to be "tame", sick or injured. 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 rac- coon rabies just 20 km. from the Canadian border at Niagara it is a good time to encourage the public to stay away from rac- coons and to avoid hand raising raccoon young that appear to be abandoned. Raccoon stool is also a potential hazard to hu- mans as it may contain para sites that can infect people, a disease known as VLM. Con- taminated hay bales are the most likely source of contact. This information should also be communicated to children who sometimes believe that wild animals act like cartoon characters. Children have often been known to approach sick or injured wildlife and are some- times bitten. This is especially true for small rodents such as mice, moles, squirrels and chip- munks. Owners of domestic ani- mals should ensure that ani- mals under their care have been recently been vaccinated against rabies.

By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star Policing in northern Durham- communities will see a more personalized approach from its senior officers. Durham Regional Police is set to implement a series of changes in the methods of polic- ing, including a number of pro- posals for the northern commu- nities of Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock. A report is in the final stages of completion which will see a series of recommendations im- plemented across the police force. According to Deputy Chief Alex McMurray, under the plan expected to come into effect on June 13 in 26 Division, a ser- geant will be assigned the re- sponsibilities of an individual station and its manpower. Presently, sergeants work under a platoon situation in which time is divided per shift between the three stations in Port Perry, Uxbridge and Sun- A010) (0) 00) \ TAT 0's (1 v Computer Supplies v Office Equipment v/ Letterhead & Envelopes v/ Wedding Invitations v/ Specialty Printing Products derland. The new method would place the sergeant solely responsible for the operations of the single station in one of the three areas. These sergeants would report to the inspector in Sunderland. A detective will also be as- signed to one of the three areas as well. And as a sergeant and detective are ranked equally, the detective would provide su- pervision when the sergeant is off duty. The sergeant would continue the responsibilities concerning manpower, while the detective would supervise criminal inves- tigations. "It's not a dramatic change, but it's a change in the right di- rection," Deputy Chief McMur- ray said. With the new plan, the ser- geants will ¢'30 be more visible in the community on patrols, at functions and at the schools. Deputy Chief McMurray said it is the intention of the plan to increase the awareness and 1 Police to implement changes in Scugog community's co-operationin the functions of policing. Police officials are also hoping the new system increases the ef- fectiveness of the local police. "What we're hoping for is team spirit in the three areas and that they work as a team," he said. is plan is part of a multi- page report prepared by a com- mittee looking at all aspects of policing in the region. Deputy Chief McMurray said a number of recommendations were made for 26 division in- cluding closing at least one sta- tion in the area and reducing manpower, but noted these op- tions were ruled out. He said the numbers current- ly serving the north are war- ranted due to the distance trav- elled by the officers. The report has been approved by the Police Services Board and will be implemented over the next few months, Deputy Chief McMurray said.
