Ringettes get
squashed in PG

OUR JUNIOR ringette team was in Prince George two
weekends ago for the Provincial Championships.
Unfortunately the 13 to 15-year-old squad didn’t fare
as well as was hoped, and they failed to post a victory
in the four-game tournament.
“They went and they played really hard,”’ says
ringette coach Roger Tooms, ‘‘But it just didn’t show

Tooms says the team only found out they had a berth
at the Provinciais three weeks ago, when another team

Hiking season starts

SPRING IS HERE and that means the Terrace Hiking
Club is gearing up for another busy season.

All hikes are informal gatherings of people wishing to
explore the local area. The club wants to point out that
hikers hit the trails at their own risk, That means sturdy
footwear, food and water and layered clothing is a must.
Rain wear and a hat should also always be considered.

The first hike of the year will be April 13 at Kitselas
Canyon. This is an easy 2-3 km hike offering a variety of
cultural, historical and natural history points of interest.

Those interested can meet at the library at 10 a.m. For
more information, call Shannon at 798-2268,

Environmental Health Issues: Zoonoses.

Humans and domestic animals
have shared food, water, shelter,
work and companionship lor centu-
ties. Unfartunately that’s not all we
share. People ond their animals also
octasionally share diseases, Any dis-
ease thot is possed fiom olher ani-
mals fo homans is called a zoonosis...
zoonoses if you are lucky enough to
get more than one,

The consequences resulting from
an infection con range {rom the
uncomfortable singworm rash, to
explosive diarrhea, {I love saying
thot one), to spontaneous abortion
and death from the aggressive

erms. |'Il quickly touch on a lew of
the more abundant illnesses we are
likely to encaunler inour daily lives
their sourees, and controls. Your foca
veterinarian con give you more
information on zooneses and cnimal
care.

Compyfobacter is one of the most
common causes of diantheo and
vomiting and is oftea found os pup-
pies, kittens and poultry. Noi mon
of us would think fo wash our hands
after petting a kitien, chicks or duck-
lings, (my Easter theme). Formers
must always scrub up after handling
livestock.

Cal-seratch disease. As mony as
half of col scratches ond bites
become infected. Wounds should he
ceoned out with hol water and soap,

then give your doctor a call. There
are more serious concerns that might
need to be addressed like tetanus
and rabies, The Health Unit shauld
follow up all these expasures.

-Cryplosparidiosis can be very seri-
ous in the immunosuppressed ond
usually originates fram cow manure.
However, we've seen lo! from the
consumption of surface woler and

Lyme Disease is spread from the
bite of a tick. It cin couse serious

thronic health effects so it is vital to
caver oll exposed skin while biking in
grassy areas.

Rabies, Most paopfe believe this is
nol of concen in BC but each yeat
we lind up 10 14 cases, especially in
bats. The petential problem arises
when your cot gets bitten by the bat
then spreads it to your family. It's
100% fal iflefl untreated, so this is
the most Important zoonosis. Keep
all jou pet’s shots up lo date, Report
ail bites ond scratches to your doctor
and local Health Unit and keep a
safe distonce from all wildlife or oth-
ef animals orting out of character.
Ringworm is a fungel infection we
can pick up {rom our pet’s fur, Again
this is @ good reason to wosh after
petling an animal.

Roundwarms can be very nasty,
especially when treated with the
incorrect medication. I} sort of makes
them med so they bolt and damage
vilal organs, eep your pels

Toxoplasmosis is another cal dis-

potients should nat handle cat litter
or gorden soil without wearing
gloves.

Holy cow, what a list!
