There was a flurry of
excitement at the Castlegar

Parker and his wife Peggy
paid a call,

John Parker is the only
son of Dorothy Farmer
Parker and grandson of
William John Farmer and
Gertrude Farmer, Castle-
gar’s first pioneers and
shopkeepers

The excitement increased
when Bill and Mary Timms
of Penticton arrived with
their daughter Lynn from
Mexico.

Mr. Timms had been an

His mother Dorothy,
who is a resident in Cali
fornia and has just cele
brated her 92nd birthday
had gone to Castlegar's
first school with Mrs. West
when she was six and Mar
jorie was four

All during the visit he
had been researching the
Castlegar News files for
his book on the history of
Castlegar and was happily
taking notes on this new
source of information

This and other increas
ingly numerous visits by
interested visitors to the
Station Museum is proving

. not only as a

action but as a
constantly expanding focus
for history and a valued
adjunct to local education

Recent visitors to Castlegar were (I-r): John Parker, and Peggy Parker. The
Parkers were squired around Castlegar by local historian John Charters, (r).

Are dogs a tax deductible item?

of a four-legged baby. No, the
supermarket tabloids won't be
interested, Our baby is Sprog
(the Dog), an eight-week-old
Jack Russell terrier

While my wife Mandy had
dogs when she grew upn Aus-
tralia, I've never had a pet

“You really should have a
dog,” said son Matt, 22, as he
moved out even more of his
possessions during his latest

visit home

She'll be good company
I'll donate some of my old
stuffed animals as toys for
the dog so you won't have to
buy any.”

That argument did have a
certain appeal, and | admit the
house has been very quiet with
Matt gone

We called in dog behaviour
expert Ann Jackson for a pre
puppy consultation. An hour
and pages of notes later
(“Never let her see you clean
up her ‘accidents’ in the
house;” “Put coat hangers on
the sofa if the dog sneaks up
there when you're away:”
“Anything you allow becomes
a duty to the dog;” “Don't
repeat commands, the dog will
edit you out”), I began to real-
ize what Mandy meant when
she had said: “It will be a lot
of work.”

I hasten to assure you even in
this (ad) venture I’m practising
what I preach

+ Economy

Sprog drinks tap water and
eats only about a cup of dried
dog food a day. “And usually
not too much goes wrong with
this type of terrier,” said veteri-
narian Dr. George Foukal. Low
maintenance, few repairs - what
else do you need”?

We have just t

+ Yield

I forget about current low
financial returns - and all other
concerns when Sprog, tail wag
ging furiously, wriggles and
licks out her love and excite
ment at seeing me

She's great company any
time. Happiness is indeed a
warm puppy on your lap or
stomach. And all these are
guaranteed, tax-free benefits.

+ Portability.

Her “puppy palace” should
just about fit under the seat when
we fly, so she can travel as per-
sonal b: e at no extra Cost

+ Diversification.

Walk a puppy and meet the
world. Almost everybody turns
to look and many strangers stop
to talk. One 15-year-old girl
sat down in the middle of a
crosswalk to cuddle Sprog.

*Recyclability

She's energy efficient. Much
of what goes in one end comes
out the other. That should help
cut fertilizer costs in the garden.

+ Tax deductib

I'm still working on this one
“If you use a dog in your busi-
ness - like a guard dog - you
may deduct all operating
expenses and you also get a 100
per cent writeoff on the cost of
buying the animal, you aren't
restricted to only depreciation
as with most other business
assets,” said Maria Bender,
public affairs officer with Rev-
enue Canada, Taxation. Trou

The Joimt Advisory Committee
reports that although they are
encouraged by current use of the
Centre, it is still not as high as
they would like 10 see

Now that @ncertainty sur
rounding the collective agree-
ment is over, it is hoped that
clients will more actively inves-
tigate and ask for the support
services they need. There are
processes, for example, to help
people identify unsuspected per-
sonal strengths and interests
which will help them when
looking for a job in today's
workplace

Staff, including the new Con
sultant, are encouraging laid off
employees to come into the Centre
and see them as soon as possible

in advance and we need to know
what will be most useful.”

ble is, “guard dog” Sprog will
never weigh more than about
five kilograms and will stand
only 30 cm by 30 cm
But perhaps a tax auditor
would be satisfied if I got a
bass amplifier and echo cham
ber to boost her barking, and
spotlights on the ground to
throw a large shadow
Sprog has quickly taken us
back to Matt's baby days. We
get up between five and six
every morning, hoping to
empty her outside before she
does the job inside
We exercise and run her hard
so she'll take a sleep break and
give us a rest, too. She com-
plains bitterly if left alone
unless diverted by something
she shouldn't be chewing
After one particularly har-
rowing day of puppy stress,
Mandy asked: “Do you think
ny?”
an article I
wrote when Matt was nine
“Invest the time and effort to
enjoy your children while you
can,” I reminded myself and
othe TS
“They'll be grown up and
gone all too soon.” Matt has
indeed gone; now we're grate-
ful to have another chance “for
a romp, a run or a quiet
moment,” and to be loved and
needed by a small bundle of life
- even if this one does have
very sharp teeth and a cold, wet
nose
