We usual- - ly do not expect a rabid animal to ‘act calm aud quict as it may with this type of rabies. -Every:.dog and cat. — even “those.wha never: go outside — should be vaccinated for rabies, “While itis still-rare for pets to get rabies even with such an out- break as we are having now, there is great potential for legal liability ‘in a;pet that hasn't been vac- cinated for rabies, ~The: first: cat discovered with 7 rabiles { in Tsawassen was a stray that ..was.- taken to Glen Eden ~ Elementary School.

If this. happens, you will be defenseless against _ liability if your pet is not current- ly vaccinated for rabies. If your unvaccinated pet is ex-. posed to a wild animal bite, it could be quarantined - for six months. These are all. good reasons to have your cat or dog vaccinated for rabies.

Cal students | lend a hand Poor people thousands of miles apari will benefit from the latest fundraising brainchild of the Caledonia Student Council, The council is donating $100 to the Terrace Anti-Poverty Group Society and another $100 to the Olinda school for the poor in Bra- zil. Most of the money was raised last November at a ‘‘butler auc- tion,”’ Students donated money to “‘buy’’ a student council member for the day. The butler then became that stu- dents scrvant for the day — and the butt of many jokes, “It was kind of embarrassing,”’ said Ray, ‘We had to bark down the halls, and sing Christmas carols while piggybacking cach other around.”’ , Roiary gives gift of learning LOCAL ROTARIANS were in Prince George Jan. 9 to celebrate what University of Northem B.C, president Geoffrey Weller called ‘a gift for all time.” The first contributions to the Rotary Endowment Fund were made when. Prince George's Downtown Rotary Club and Nechako Rotary Club each con- tributed $50,000. The $100,000 total pledge will be: matched dollar for dollar by the provincial government. Although the funds came from Prince George clubs, the money was contributed in the name of all northern B.C. Rotary clubs, and Jepresentatives from Terrace, Smithers, Prince Rupert and Mackenzie were ‘also in at- tendance, Future contributions are Cx- pected to boost the Rotary Endowment Fund, which will provide scholarships and bur- saries to help northern students study at UNBC’s teaching ceulres across northern B.C. says Caledonia council so- - cial convenor Gerry Ray. ----- LUCKY DOLLAR BINGO JANUARY 1993 PALACE sanuary 1993 ‘Sat. & Sun.Afternoon Games Evening Games ; Thurs., Fri., Sat.
