Dr . Wendy Korver addressed Council with respect to the recent decision to
withdraw the after-hours emergency service of the Animal Control Centre.
She indicated that with the withdrawal of this service there is an increased
risk of physical injury to police officers, fIremen and members of the public
who attempt to handle injured animals found on the roadside. In an
attempt to keep costs down, Dr. Korver made the following suggestions:
Animal Control Officers be required to pick up only injured pets
after hours. The person making the call to Animal Control could
visually assess the condition of the animal and Animal Control
OffICers could respond accordingly.
Veterinary Hospitals are willing to waive the customary $37.00
emergency fee charged for after-hour services. Also, a flat fee of
$10.00 would be charged for euthanasia for animals who are
suffering or are too severely injured to warrant extensive treatment.
If the veterinarian and animal control offICer decide to treat the
animal, a charge of $60.00 per hour plus drug costs would be billed
to the Town.
If the owner of an injured animal brought in by the Animal Control
Officer comes forward while the animal is still in hospital, the
hospital would request the owner to pay all costs incurred. In this
way the Town only has the cost of the wage payable to the Animal
Control OflIcer to absorb. If the owner comes forward after the
treated animal has been released to Animal Control, the Town would
be billed for the veterinary costs at the reduced rates indicated above.
Mr. Hugh Coutts, Adventure Advisor, appeared before Couocil and asked
permission to operate a food vending stand on the east side of the parking
area south of King Street (Highway #2) on April 24 and 25, 1992 which is
opening night of the trout fIshing season. The funds raised from the ssIe of
hot dogs, hamburgers and pop will be used to fmance some of the Venturers
summer activities. Mr. Coutts stated that written permission has been
received from the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority for operation
of the stand.

Mr. Sam Gust, 138 Queen Street, Bowmanville, L1C 1M9, addressed Couocil
with respect to the Development Charges By-law 92-105. He indicated that
he has received notice that additional development charges are required on
lots in his subdivision for which permits have been taken out. He believes
that, under the circumstances, his development should qualifY for an
exemption under the Development Charge Policy. Mr. Gust distributed to
the Mayor and Members of Council a history of his development together
with a listing of cash expenditures paid to date.
Mr. Joseph Hand, together with Mr. Ian Miller, representing the United
Food and Commercial Workers Local 175/663, addressed Council and
requested permission to hold a Walk-A-Thon, ''Walk For A Cure' on
June 14, 1992. The Walk-A-Thon is a charitable event which will raise
money to benefit the Leukemia Society and Leukemia Research. The
proposed route for the Walk-A-Thon is from Bowmanville High School south
on Liberty Street to Baseline, east on Baseline to Simpson Avenue, north on
Simpson Avenue to Highway #2, west on Highway #2, north on Liberty,
returning to the High School. Local businesses have been approached and
are offering their support by donating items that will be put into an auction.
Mr. Laverne Nimigon, representing the Kinsmen Club, P.O. Box 5,
Bowmanville, advised Council that, in celebration of Canada's 125th birthday,
on January 1, 1992 a Peace Tower Flag left Newfoundland on the East Coast
and British Columbia on the West Coast, with the intention of meeting on
June 20th at the Terry Fox Memorial in Thunder Bay. Six hundred
signature flags are being taken through communities across Canada in an
attempt to collect at least 1.25 million signatures. On July 1, the 600
signature flags will be taken to Ottawa and presented to the Governor
General, The Queen and the Prime Minister. These signature flags will be
going through Bowmanville on April 23 and Mr. Nimigon requested that the
Peace Tower Flag be flown from the Municipal Administrative Centre on
that day and requested Council's permission to hold a celebration on the
Town's Square consisting of a booth to sell hot dogs and pop, with the
Bowmanville High School Band and various dignitaries in attendance.
Ms. Victoria Dove, Big Sisters Newcastle-Oshawa-Whitby, addressed Council
in opposition to the recommendations contained in Item # 13 of Report # 1.
Ms. Dove indicated that Big Sisters have raised $52,000 over the last ten
months through the ssle of Nevada Tickets, however, they are now fmding
themselves in a position where their application for a licence is being denied
because of the fact that their office is not based in the Town of Newcastle.
Many of their programs, however, benefit residents of the Town. Ms. Dove
requested Couocil's assistance in resolving this matter.
