We Need Breakfast Clubs!

                                                                                                                                          Fallon

Sir: Have you ever heard about young students not having breakfast, or being extremely hungry due to no breakfast. If you have, didn't you feel as though those kids needed a breakfast club. Well, I think Zone needs a breakfast club, because there are lots of hungry kids and economy affected families here!

Firstly, Zone should have a breakfast club because we are a small school in the country, which means a majority of our school comes on the bus. Also, with having a lot of kids on the bus, most kids get picked up quiet early, and this means that the kids can easily over sleep and not have enough time for breakfast, which can cause drowsiness, lack of concentration, and lower grade point average or test results.

Secondly, we should have a breakfast club because of the economies condition. These days the economy is in bad health and jobs are being cut everyday, this means not everyone can afford the expensive and rising prices of food. This food depravation can cause malnutrition, lower test results and grade point average, and decreased alertness.

Thirdly, some parents are not there to cook for their kids, because they may not care due to other priorities or are to busy working extra jobs to make ends meat. These parent can cause many of the things that the other reasons can cause except for recklessness which can cause severe grade point average loss because they are not there to do their job as a parent.

Did you know that the Thames Valley Board of Middle-Sex, Ontario did a experiment that that involved breakfast clubs. After, this experiment was finished the board reviewed the results and found that at least 70 percent of the students that used the breakfast club had improve in most or all of the subjects they were doing badly in.

So, next time you hear about hungry students Bothwell, take a stand and propose a breakfast club at Zone and feed those hungry minds.

• Animals Removed From Lickety-Split
  The Ministry of Natural Resources visits the Lickety-Split Ranch and executes a search warrant. Animals Removed From Lickety-Split The Ministry of Natural Resources visits the Lickety-Split Ranch and executes a search warrant.

The owner of Lickety Split Ranch south of London was found guilty of keeping animals in captivity without a license this morning. Justice of the Peace Robert Seneshen ordered the forfeiture of the wildlife, but no additional fines. Animals were seized from the roadside zoo in August, 2008, and will not be returned to the ranch. The seized wildlife include a white-tailed deer, a raccoon, four lynx, three foxes and a bobcat.

Ranch owner Shirley Campbell had received a license for owning the animals from 1999 to 2006, but didn't apply for a license in 2007 or 2008. A licence is required by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.

Prosecutor Brian Wilkie said a ticket was issued to eoncourage Campbell to move forward and get the license.

"Removal of the animals is certainly the last resort and that's where we are today," he said.

Seneshen said he would like to see more protection for these animals than the law provides today.

Campbell wasn't in court today.

About a dozen demonstrators outside the provincial offences court said they were pleased with Seneshen's decision. But they too are looking for a better way to protect animals in roadside zoos.

Be Your Dog or Cat's Best Friend!

So, how well are you treating your best friend? You know, the one who's faithfully waiting for you at the door when you get home, the one who curls up at your feet and thinks that you're the most perfect person on the planet no matter what Mom and Dad might be thinking at the time.

When you choose to share your home with a dog, cat, or other animal, you're making a life-long commitment. They rely on you to take good care of them and keep them safe from harm. They need fresh food and water, proper veterinary care (and that includes being spayed or neutered), and lots of TLC from you and the fam! Plus, our canine friends need lots of walks, and our cats need clean kitty boxes.

Remember, dogs, cats, and other companion animals want to be inside with you and your family, not stuck outside in a cage or pen or tied to the end of a chain. And they should never be allowed to roam around freely-the outside world is no place for our furry friends because not everyone is kind to them. They'd much rather be inside with you anyway-after all, you are the center of their universe!

Here's something that I'll bet you didn't know about dogs: They can't sweat! Instead, they pant to cool themselves off. And did you know that dogs can get sunburned? Yep, it's true. So when it's hot, be sure that your dog has lots of fresh water to drink and isn't out in the sun for too long because not only can dogs get sunburned, they can also suffer from heat strokes. Remember, they're wearing fur coats in the summertime! And never ever leave your dog in the car when it's even the least bit warm outside (again, think fur coat) because the heat inside a parked car can cause a dog to suffer brain damage and die in less then 10 minutes, even with the windows down! When the temperature is soaring, it's best to leave your canine pal at home. 

Always look out for our animal friends, and never turn your back on lost, stray, or injured animals! If you find an animal, quickly ask Mom and Dad for help, and call your local animal control office right away so that they can come and get the animal off the street.
