_Feedback LETTERS Urge proper kennelling for dogs It is a sad and unacceptable fact that every year thousands of dogs suffer through long and harsh Canadian winters with inadequate shelter or no shelter at all. These dogs cannot obtain shelter and are forced to endure terrible weather conditions. Tremendous cold spells, viâ€" cious blizzards and freezing rain can prove fatal for even the hardiest of dogs. Most of us would not even consider being out in these elements, even for a short period of time, so how can we expect dogs to live in these conditions? What kind of existence is this anyway? When we look good we feel good. When we feel good we look good. A simple, yet realistic statement which should govern our every thought and movement. Let‘s start with the looking good part. Better yet, let‘s start with the most important part of the body which reflects good looks. The face. Our faces and the expressions time and age have given us are like windows to the soul of our bodies. Some faces are terrific, radiating a warm feeling makâ€" ing us smile when we see them and others are drawn in, baggy, lack color or warmth, generally not so pleasant to look at. When we see a face that makes us feel good, it‘s generally due to basic good health and beauty tips; good diet (lots of water), exercise, fresh air, and proper skin cleansing techniques. When these steps are not adhered to, the bags, the puffiness, the pale color, the wrinkles, the large jowis and double chins seem to appear miraculously with age. It‘s faces like these which need the help of Karen Sood and Howard Farâ€" rell. Farrell, known in the fitness industry as a jackâ€"ofâ€"allâ€"trades, is a Britishâ€"borm physiotherapist. He has been involved with fitness most of his life, owning a fitness club (The Matador in Kitchener), touring as a guest speaker on various occasions, and the prime organizer of literally 5,000 fitness and health related programs. One of his mottos is "It‘s the nature of the body to move, and if you don‘t . . . you lose it."" And right now he‘s working with Sood on a new project While winter emphasizes the need for they first start driving, are more prone to accidents, so insurance should cost them more," se h / ‘. it‘ ’*l‘{ k iA 23 ; p j M . 8 stt . ~ i "f ‘ l i ' § & ‘-‘ ) <€ wl Â¥ _ _] Fitness Forum Y oung Apeople‘ Marilyn James Waterioo Kathy Hammond Fitness Instructor Professional Face and Body is marâ€" keting locally a new approach to facial care and skin toning. Uncomfortable with surgical face lifts and the scarring and lifelessness which is created, Sood and Farrell are prepared to service our faces with "nonâ€"surgical face lifts." Sood, once a prothesist and highâ€" fashion model, works with Farrell doing the initial facial. The next step to the "lift‘" is the placement of an electronic muscle stimulator on various points on the face and neck, "maximizing the sculpting of the face.‘" The 10 to 15 minute sessions stimulate the face, helping to clear impurities, create a faster rate of cellular renewal and tone the muscles, helping to eliminate the moving something different.

The procedure is explained by Farrell as "fixing tiny barbells all over the face. bigger, making the facial muscles stronger." (Facial exercises can also do this yet take longer because of the decreased intensity of stimulation). The feeling good part of the statement I started with comes with knowing you are radiating your best personality, without having to force it through the bags, puffies, and wrinkles. As Farrell quoted Miss Piggy, "Go with what you‘ve got!" Get going! adequate shelter, ‘"outdoor‘"‘ dogs also need adequate housing the rest of the year to protect them from the intense heat of the sun as well as the rain. Under the Criminal Code of Canada all dogs are, by law, required to have "adequate‘‘ shelter. A doghouse should be large enough for the dog to stand up, sit down, turn around and stretch out comfortably to the fullest extent of its limbs. It should be insulated, have an interior windbreak, exterior door flap and be elevated 6 inches off the ground, facing away from the prevailing winds. These are the minimum standards the Ontario Humane Society has set regarding a doghouse. Realizing «"at not all dogs are ‘"indoor‘‘ dogs, the Ontario Humane Society has published a pamphlet detailing how to construct an ‘"ideal" doghouse. The pamâ€" "I don‘t believe there should be as large a discrepancy as there is. It‘s too much of a difference in rates," Should insurance rates for drivers be based on age and sex? phiet, ‘"Ideal Doghouse for Ontario‘s Outdoor Dogs,‘" provides the dog owner with all the necessary information to construct a "custom fit‘" doghouse that will, if constructed properly, provide an outdoor dog with good shelter.

You know, there are any number of people who will tell you that they want to be successful, if you go to the trouble of asking them, but the facts seems to indicate that most of them look for success in the common, ordinary course of their lives. They don‘t seem to understand that Above and beyond the call of duty means insisting on aboveâ€"average efâ€" forts to achieve aboveâ€"average results. Life has often been compared to a battle. Many a man, on leaving home in the morning, says: ‘"Well, off to the wars." And his wife might say on his return home: "How went the battle?" Life is a contest in which each of us wants to see how well we can do. Some call it a race â€" often a "rat race." Regardless of what we call it, it is something each of us must enter, and our rewards and satisfactions will be determined by the sort of effort we put into it. about success. It has been said that to do only what is required of you is to be a slave; the moment you do more than is required, you are a free person. And this holds good whether the requirement be a code of discipline, an oath of office, or a job description. Distinction comes to those who do more than they are getting paid to do and promotion comes to those who show When a member of the armed forces Question asked on King St. ‘"I think they should be based on your driving record not your age.
