Readers Write Cats have DEAR EDITOR: This is in response to the recent letter by Keith Timbers criticizing certain cat owners. The letter can't go unchallenged. Believe it or not, this "touchy subjeet" - ietting cats outdoors - has been broached many, many times. So bas the issue of dogs run- ning free and not being on a ieash. What to do? Every creature deserves its share of fresh air, sunshine and the smell of green grass - even cats. It's admirable that Mr. Timbers disposes of the 'crap' - bis term - deposited by his right to go chocolate iab aller its carefree romps through the fairgrounds. Unforîunaîely, some dog owners don'î have bis fortitude to track down and pick up their dogs' 'crap' lefî in a park, sehool grounds or wood lot. Respect for other people's properîy notwithstanding, the trees and shrubs on the boule- vards and in foundation plant- ings are copiously waîered each and every day, multiple tumes by multiple dogs. Wbaî 10 do? A combination of small lot frontages, long leashes (or none at all) and numerous dogs does- n't make anyone's property immune. outdoors Over the years we have had mature fruit trees, flowering shrubs, vines and rose bushes destroyed by raccoons, rabbits and even squirrels. What to do? As for his "squashed on a street remark - regarding roaming cats - thats simply silly Every living thing crosses the street at some time or anoth- er. There are many senious prob- lems and issues in the worid today that need healthy and seni- ous debate. This criticism of outdoor cals is just pettiness. Lîve and let lîve, Mr. Timbers. ROBERTA ROISELLO MILTON Poor planning for vaccination clinics DEAR EDITOR: 1 was wondering what Halton and Milton offi- cials are expecting when the Hi1 N 1 vaccination to the general public kicks off with only one vaccina- tion clinie for more than 70,000 people in Milton. itfs very difficult to imagine the traffic jams and uines that will go around several blocks. Do they îhink that people arent eager to get vaccinated? Can't they learn from what happened in Toronto or yeî fromn what happened in Oakville when only the high-risk people lined up, creating buge traffic problems and hours of waiting? Simple math: If they expect to have everyone vaccinated in, lets say, 10 days, that means 7,000 people pcr day; 875 people per hour, 15i people per minute. Is it difficult to imagine the problems? is there anyone who would agree that this "clinfic schedule to ensure the most efficient and effective administration of vaccines to residents," as it says on the Halton Region website, is really efficient and effective? Dr. David Butler-jones, Ontario's chief public health officer, and Health Minîster Leona Aglukkaq should resign immediately due to their incompetence, and su should the health officiaIs of Milton and Halton. HESLEY TOMAZETTI MILTON Grocery store flot the place to have a walk-in clinic DEAR EDITOR: Like everyone else, I've been blitzed with the media frenzy over the HINJ virus and its potentiaily deadiy results. So bearing that in mind, maybe my fellow Miltonians can enlighten me as to why we have a medical walk-in clinic at the Loblaw Superstore. It baffles me as to why our officers of bealth wouid want to expose our healthy shoppers to an atmosphere of sick people. Before the clinic opens in the morning you can see the line of sick people, mere feet from the cashiers. If this doesnt defy logic, I don't know what does. Who ever heard of putting sick people in a store where you selI food? And how about the exposure to the poor staff at Loblaw? Do they and their [amulies not deserve consideration? Are we trying to prevent the spread of this potentially deadly virus or not? Come on Milton, get in the game. This is worth fighting to change. Write your councillor and voice your opposition to this stupidity JOHN SERVOS MILTON Beer drlnking at Evergreen cemetery resumes; some found drunk there 'Time Capsules' are gems of infor- mation exraéted from past issues of the Champion and other publications in order to provide a window into Mlton s past. &planatory comment is sometimes provided £0pc the situa- tion in context. Juiy 1914 We are înformed that the beer- drinking of lnst suxnmer, in the new (Evergreen) cemnetery reported then in the Chzmpion bhas been resumed, that the beer is brought in nulk cans from, the brewery that it isconsumed in the caretakers toolhouse and that some of the drinkers have been drunk there. The excessive drinking is bad enough but in this case taking the scene of il into account, desecra- tion is added.
