(CCI) on February 16 at the Center on East Winona Ave. was given to serious consideration of several possible re alignments of functional repor ting as the subject of possibly for ming a holding company was discussed. Steve Gerber, president of CCI, led the discussion of positive and negative points if any one ol several corporate alignments is adopted.

You and your pet — What to do when mother rejects a litter of puppies

Dear Dr. Wise: Our famih is excited about the coming birth of our boxer’s puppies. This will be Fudge’s first litter and we want to be prepared. The neighbor's dog rejected her pups. Could this happen to us? How do we raise the pups on our own if we have to? Answer: Mother Nature teaches a mother .dog to provide

overhead costs; and ability of a holding company to provide financial assistance for new business start-ups and expansions. Drawbacks were reduced autonomy, multiple meetings to attend and possible confusion over who is ultimately in control. Gerber stressed that reorganization would be transparent to the community and that the responsibility of the CCI board would not change. Member Kevin Zachary, who was board president when Human Services of Kosciusko County was Incorporated, said the organization of that corporat ion in no way had any pdrpose of diminishing the functions, or image of Cardinal Center. After members commented on the importance of maintaining the good image of CCI in the community, the board voted to allow further investigation of the holding company possibility. As the board meeting opened, Lee Heyde introduced Lee Dagnall, of Zimmer Inc , as a new board member on the CCI board. Gerber then reported that this is the 35th anniversary of Cardinal Center, which began

The mission of a newly established corporation, Cardinal Center Foundation Inc. was defined by Gerber as working to provide funding for Cardinal Center. The board voted to approve the planned expansion of Kosciusko Area Bus Service (KABS) routes, which will grow to include areas on the north, south and east sides of Warsaw including access to Warsaw Municipal Airport and additional residential areas. KABS director Klosowski said three new 14-passenger buses are now in service and, with a backup bus available KABS has adequate equipment to serve the larger area Gerber added that calls for service have been tracked over the past two years Klosowski said KABS, which is 100 percent accessible to handicapped riders, is a role model for other areas in the state for improving their facilities. A project is currently in progress to computerize the preventative maintenance under wa new records of the transportation facility.

once or twice right after the birth. The first milk (colostrum) is very important because it provides proteins helpful to the immune system. Without colostrum, a pup is more likely to get sick. ■a It also is important to keep the pups warm. The mother acts like a heating pad with a built-in thermostat. When she 'is not available, we must substitute a heating pad The newborn’s pen should be isolated from other pets and household traffic. It should have high sides to ward off drafts and include heated and unheated areas Pups must be able to move to a cooler area if they become too warm since their internal temperature regulators are not developed The smaller the pups, the higher the temperature should be.
