Saucier repre- sents the developer. (News Photo) LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer Nothing like a tape to set the re- cord straight. Or so two county officials learned last Thursday, when what they said they hadn't said at a public hearing was dramatically contradicted by an audio tape a citizen played for county commissioners. Planning Commission Attorney Scott Shirley and Planning Official Bob Arredondo ultimately had to admit that yes, they had indeed said, what the citizens claimed they had said. And they would, they said, abide by their recorded statements, 1. their credibility suffer. The issue revolved around the re- quested rezoning of a 73-acre prop- erty just south of 1-10 and east of US 19 from agriculture-5 (Ag-5) to residential-1 (R-l). Ag-5 allows one house per five acres; R-l allows one house per acre. The rezoning is part of a Compre- hensive Plan Amendment that com- missioners have had to reschedule twice because the public hearings have been improperly advertised. Last Thursday's hearing began with an immediate challenge to the appropriateness of the latest adver- tisement. The sum of Cindy and Don Lee's charges: the advertisement failed to identify the specific property by sec- tion, township and range as required by the county's rules; the advertise- ment erroneously cited an ordinance dealing with linear transmission lines, not the subdivision of land; and contradictory to their public statements, Shirley and Arredondo had failed to post the appropriate signs on the property to alert area residents of the coming change. In response to commissioners' questions concerning the validity of the Lees' objections, Shirley labeled each charge immaterial or irrelevant. "The advertisement is sufficient," Shirley responded time after time to Commission. Chairman Skeet Joy- ner's questions about the appropri- ateness of the advertisement. That's when the Lees produced their ace in the hole -- a tape record- ing of an Oct. 14, 2004, Planning Commission meeting in which, the Lees said, Shirley and Arredondo had repeatedly promised that signs would be posted on the property. The Lees said they could provide' the. tape, .Aoinile l. i atiape player, in a matter of minutes if commission- ers wanted to hear it. They were cer- tain that commissioners would find the discussion most entertaining, they said. "I don't think you should conduct this meeting because .you're in vio- lation," Don Lee warned. Shirley and Arredondo back- tracked a little. It was possible that they may have stated what the Lees claimed they had said, they said. But if they had, they didn't remember it. A great many things- had been dis- cussed at the particular meeting. If they had made such a promise, it had been a misstatement on their part, they said. "It would be surprising to me if that's the way the discussion went," Shirley said. "But I haven't listened to the tape." "It's possiblethat I misstated the situation," Arredondo said. "But then, looking at the state statute later, I followed the statute, which does not require posting." Commissioner Jerry Sutphin and Alan Saucier, spokesman for the de- veloper, argued for continuation of the public hearing. The mistakes made in the advertisement, if they were mistakes, were minor scribners errors, they said. The errors could be corrected in the advertisements for the second required public hear- ing. But the project shouldn't be de- layed yet again, they said. Bob Tirelli, an area resident, dis- agreed. He didn't consider the errors or the proposed changes to be a mi- nor matter., Rather, he saw the lack of posting as a "breach of faith", and the proposed rezoning as the first of a planned series of land-use changes amounting to spot zoning. "There are hundreds of acres for sale in this area that are intended for development," Tirelli said. "This is not an individual parcel. This is spot zoning at its worst. The last time the citizens of this area were asked what they wanted during the last Comp Plan amendment, the people spoke loud and clear and said they wanted five-acre parcels. This is nibbling away at the zoning and the whole area is changing without a plan. This is not just one parcel. Don't be deluded. This is a like a stealth change and the will of the people is being thwarted." Arredondo reiterated that he had followed state statutes in advertising the Comp Plan amendment, and state statutes did not require the posting of signs of the land to be re- zoned. "I've been to Planning Commis- sion meetings and we've been told directly that signs would be posted," countered Tirelli. "This is a breach of faith with the residents to now say that signs don't have to go up." The Lees again offered to play the tape. "Mr. Arredondo says the placards are not required by state statute," Cindy Lee said. "But on Oct. 14, Mr. Arredondo and Mr. Shirley were asked and we were told that signs would be posted. The Plan- ning Commission asked over and over again that the signs be posted. (See Recording Page 3) Memorial Day Will Honor All Who Made Supreme Sacrifice RAY CICHON Managing Editor Memorial Day is a day of remem- brance for those who have died in the service of our nation. On the 50th anniversary of World War II, Paul A, Spera, National Commander-in-Chief, of the Veter- ans of Foreign Wars, wrote that more than 12 million Americans served overseas during World War II. The cost to the United States alone, was more than $288 billion, with more than 786 million indi- viduals perishing around the world, Spera wrote. "Because of the sacrifices of more than 12 million Americans, who served overseas, and another four million who wore the uniform state- side, would-be world dictators rec- ognized that free men and women will fight and prevail when their freedoms are at stake. "Because of these sacrifices, Americans were never forced to de- fend their own homes," Spera wrote. Memorial day was originally called Decoration Day, and began in the spring of 1866, when Henry C. Welles, a pharmacist in Waterloo, NY, suggested that patriots who died in the Civil War should be hon- ored by decorating their graves. Townspeople made wreaths, crosses, and bouquets for each vet- eran's grave. The village was decorated with flags at half mast and a processon to the town's cemeteries was held. Decoration Day was officially proclaimed by General John Logan, May 5, 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. By 1890, it was recognized by all of the northern states. As late as the 1940's, it was com- mon for Northern cities and towns to decorate the downtown area with red, white, and blue bunting, in pa- triotic displays. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring its dead on sepa- rate days, until after World \'i r ', when the holiday changed .1,cr2 honoring just those who died in the Civil War, Americans who died in any war, and the day was renamed Memorial Day. Of all the County residents who died in the service of the country, Sgt. Ernest "Boots" Thomas is im- mortalized by the monument on US 90 West, commemorating the rais- ing of the US Flag on Mt. Suribachi, Feb. 23, 1945, signifying the US victory over Iwo Jima. Following the capture of Lvi. Suri- bachi, Thomas and th. 28th Ma- rines moved to battle on the opposite side of the island, where he was killed by enemy fire, March 3, 1945. Though no complete listing of County natives who died in the serv- ice of our country is known, this much is known: *During the Civil War, three men were killed in action: George John- son, William Johnson and Augustine Kyle. *In the Spanish American War, William Denham Pasco was killed in action. *Other County natives who made the supreme sacrifice include: Clemon Alexander, Leroy Bell, Homer Bird, Will Bolen, Marion Bradshaw, Caradine Braswell, David Chancy,, Harrison Connell, Earl Cooksey, and Olin Cooksey. Also, Thomas Daniel, Alphonzo Ganzy, Robert Hair, George Hamp- ton, Raymond Hatcher, Eddie Jack- son, Sammy Jenkins, Sylvester Johnson, Haywood Jordon, and Railford Kersey. Also, Craig Knight, William Lloyd, Russell Malloy, James Mas- sey, Ernest Mills, Maynard McCleod, Russell Platt, Richard Plummer, Kenneth Rector, Joe Reg- ister, Richard Russ, Fleming Thompson, Harold Thompson, Ray- mond Thompson, and Otto Walker.

Farmers & Merchants LAZARO ALEMAN Senior Staff Writer ,,'Justin Wainright, a US Navy SEAL on temporary leave from his assignment in war-torn Iraq, shared srtne. of his military experiences wI"th.Kiwanians last week. ;Wainright, in fact, was part of the eg te unit charged-with the protec- ti n of Iraq's top five government lcders, including the country's prime minister. g-n the whole, Wainright said, the media's portrayal of the situation in Iraq "is pretty accurate." "You're not seeing everything," he said. "It depends on who you're watching. But they're pretty accu- rate. They're not showing all the bd things or all the good things;. tit overall, they're pretty much on the mark." pWainright described Iraq as a place where car bombs, rocket ex- plosions and mortar fire are a daily and almost common occurrence. ,!, S"We get 15 to 30 car bombs a day," Wainright said. "And the mor-' tars land nonstop. Any time can be your time...At any moment, a 'ehi- cle can blow up. When they blow up, it goes right through the armor. Any time can be your time to go." He called the protection of the Iraqi prime minister and the coun- try's four othdr top leaders an in- tense and demanding job that quickly burned out those charged with providing, the protection. Hence the rotation of the details every three months, he said. "We wrapped up guys that were the prime minister's own guards and they were trying to kill him," Wain- right said, explaining that wrapping up meant arresting or bounding sus- pects in tape to restrain them. One of the high points of the job, he said, was getting to meet high- ranking US officials, such as Secre- tary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Senator John McCain and Senator Hillary Clinton.' "You are right there," he said. "It was a great experience. But I rather do SEAL work." He talked of participating in night operations to arrest suspected insur- gents. This entails going out past midnight, blowing down doors, and rushing into suspect's house to ar- rest them. "It's pretty crazy," Wainright said, describing bursting into dwellings that are full of people, including children and elderly folks. The idea is not to shoot unless it's absolutely necessary, he said. But sometimes, they had "to deal" with people. "You get more intelligence out of someone alive than dead," Wain- right said. "Most people we take down, their families don't even know that they are insurgents. Peo- ple who get in the way, we deal with with deadly force. We have got the best target identification system in the world. We don't go in there praying and spraying. We surgically remove." Wainright, who has re-enlisted for another four years, also talked about the toughness of the Navy SEAL training, which he described as "nonstop hammering to get you into shape". "The first few weeks, the instruc- tors are really cool and nice," he said. "Then they slam you, and peo- ple start quitting." Indeed, out of the 187 SEAL candidates who started in his class, 17 actually graduated, Wainright said. The others quit along the way, unable to withstand the rigors of the training. "The best of the best came there and they had the intention to be.- come a SEAL," Wainright said. "But you can only take it for so long. During hell week, you. lose. most of the'guys." He described hell week as lasting, sun. It's called surf torture. Guys get pneumonia. My buddy was dying. They pull him out, made him better and put him back in. After six months of training, I lost eight guys right before graduation." Wainright said those who qualify then go on to the basic SEAL train- ing, followed by airborne school and cold training in Alaska. Once that training is completed, the rluates are assigned to 16-men 5-2 days, during which time train- platoons that then train together as a ees are allowed 2-V hours of sleep, team for another year before they "You run over 120 miles in sand are deployed. carrying boats," Wainright said, de- "We can go into a house and we scribing some of the exercises. "It's all know exactly where we're going tons of fun. At night, you crawl to go," Wainright said. "We all re- down into the water to chase the ceive the identical training."

Bud Wheeler, a Planning Com- mission member, confirmed the Lees' assertions. "We have askci, demanded, that signs be posted on every change that comes before us so that the public does not feel that they've been hoodwinked," Wheeler said. "The Planning Commission has de- manded that that be done hundreds of times." Commissioner Danny Monroe, a former member of the Planning Commission, supported Wheeler. "It was the intent of the Planning Commission to have signs posted for every change," Monroe said. "How it's written in the minutes, I don't know. But I know it was the intent that every land-use change have signs posted." Lloyd area resident Tom LaMotte pointed out that notwithstanding the benign seeming nature of the proposed change -- a rezoning rather than a preliminary plat for a subdivision -- the end result was the same. A developer, in other words, would not be asking for a rezoning unless the ultimate aim was to develop the property, he said. "This is a development," LaMotte said. "This is a movement .to a big change out there, even if we call it something else like a Comp Plan amendment. I'm concerned about the density change. And once the change' is made, it's too late to change it back. This is putting the cart before the horse. There should be protection for area residents." Faced with ,the overwhelming testimony -- including the tape, which commissioners finally agreed to listen to and which confirmed the Lees' assertions -- the board voted 4-1 to postpone and re-advertise the hearing. Sutphin cast the lone vote. "If the Planning Commission requested that signs go up, I'd like to see the signs go up," Commissioner Junior Tuten said. "If we told folks that we would put signage up, it's the fault of our department that they are not up. We should be responsible for our actions." Joyner concurred. "If the Planning Commission re- quested that the signage be put up, we need to do exactly what we said we would do," Joyner said. "We've got to bring clarity to this issue." Shirley pointed out that the re- advertising would delay the matter several more months, as the Depart- ment of Community Affairs ulti- mately had to review and approve the change. Even so, he thought the delay was warranted. "In terms of the credibility of Bob Arredondo and myself, I feel the signs should be up before the hear- ing," Shirley said.

BROWN American Legion Chaplain More than 1 million men and \x omen have lost their lives fighting for freedom in the U.S. Armed forces. We can never reimburse the price they paid. We can summon no words to allay the pain of their loved ones. We can. and we should. honor America's war-dead on Me- morial Day. SWe, as beneficiaries of Ameri- can's departed heroes, should make three pledges on Memorial Day to ensure that the Supreme Sacrifice of our nation's war-dead never will be in' vain. .The first pledge we should make is to; fly the U.S. Flag and to partici- pate in our community's commemo- rative events. America's patriots shed their blood in defense of our nation's .core -.alu '.:f tiedi m. j us-.,. rice and equality as well as the U.S. Flag that symbolizes our values. Memorial Day should unify all Americans in solemn tribute to those who did not come marching home and to consecrate the principles for which they fought. The second pledge we should make is to teach our 'children and grandchildren that the freedom they may take for granted were pur- chased by incredible sacrifice. When we lead by example, by bringing our children and grandchildren with us to Mepiorial Day public observa- tions. we teach the leaders of tomor- row that freedom is not free. The third pl I- 'r; to participate in our dem( c'-c in order to give patriots-present the best opportunity to triumph against evil. Today's troops form the light of hope that pierces the darkness of tyranny. These contemporary pledges flow from the earliest -iaditic'ns of Me- morial Day. Southern women in the spring of 1865 planted flowers on the graves of Confederate war-dead. Gen. John Logan, commander, in chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public, an organization of Union veterans. ordered his group to deco- rate the graves of Union troops on a uniform date in 1868. These and, other commemorations would give'rise to the first national Memorial Day observance on May 30. 1868. at Arlington National Cemetery. Gen. James Garfield,. key.ie ",p.g ..foiO,, die observance. .... iln.'l,, i ,'-e l, ,r.t ibrll,.,l~ives-'.figlht- ing for freedom engaged in the ulti- mate expression of humanity's "highest virtuess" The general was right! More than 1 million men and women, preponderantly of modest means and infinite courage, sacri- ficed all of their tomorrow's while fighting for American's unifying "virtues." Surely we can honor their sacrifice. transmit the values for which they fought and preserve the "common defense" that is liberty's backbone. By our vigilance, the sac- rifices of America's departed heroes shall never be in vain. Steroid Use Besmirches Major League Baseball BY REX M.

Tills is it. *MLB's steroid-mess did not start w ith McGwire. Names like Jose C'anseco and Jason Giambi also headline this story. Steroids and other illegal chemical substances are, plain and simple, a form of cheating. Increasingly common use of performance-enhancing drugs nieans fans cannot trust any of baseball's statistics in the past 15 years. Who's to say that a player achieved greatness or that lie hit his loftv plateau only because he was juiced'.' -MLB steroids is not yet old news. Stay tuned for more developments. Itrs a story that involves selfish am- bition. cheating, lying, squandered talents, and fallen heroes -athletes we hoped would be role models for our children. And they are. just the wrong kind. God tells us to "Avoid every kind of evil" (I Thess. 5:22). Not even superstars are above this injunction: Illegal steroids use breaks sports' code of honor. It threatens both the integrity of the game and the will- being of the athletes. It robs sports. in this case baseball, of its purity achievement that lifts the soul. Baseball will survive this crisis. But the MLB needs to clean up its act, adopting and especially enforc- ing appropriate policies, holding high 'the standard of fair-play. Dat- ing to at lease ancient Greece, one of the great glories of sport is its many metaphors for real life. This is another one: character mat- ters. Major League Baseball is a mo- rality play. It's time to put morality back in play. Rex M. Rogers, Ph.D., book author and president of Cornerstone University,. Grand Rapids, Mich., pens this column, which appears in 89 newspapers..

(News File Photo) Opinion & Comment U Short Takes & Other Notions BY MERRY ANN FRISBY Tie weather this spring has been wondrotisly cool. So cool and lovely that many folks are out working in, their yards. The large piles of yard waste on the curbside is evidence of this work. It is pleasurable to talk to the neighbors when you see them in their yards. The resulting yards ate 'a glorious' 'sighi- Camellia's'' fade "as'the bullbsi spring up, flowering tress sport' showy blooms. As much as I dislike honeysuckle vines, which tangle and snarl up the azaleas, the flowers or drive around and just peek at the folk's yards. It almost feels like snooping, but I expect the gardeners want spectators. Heart thanks to everyone who works at making their homes look like art. Spring causes other behavior.

I have noticed that their display ot choice may be a truck with loud tailpipes, or a truck plas- tered with mud. An alternative is a car painted so brightly tlat it looks like a bowling ball on wheels. The bowling ball car is frequently blar- ing very loud music. I have never seen a girl in any of these cars, and I expect that the young man who drives such a vehi- cle is hoping to attract some girl's attention. -Hlappy Sprin g to you all.

Teach Kids Value Of Trees It's easy.to forget, how books and magazines are mad" and where newspaper come from. It's even harder for kids to grasp how many trees are used just to pro- duce cereal boxes and colored con- struction paper'. Even with computers and elec- tromec devices, it's estimated more than four billion trees are cut down in the world each year a number 10 times larger than that of the U.S. Population. These startling facts certainly raise the issue of the importance of trees and how they contribute to the earth. As adults. remembering to con- serve and recycle is an important way of life. What's just as important is to teach our children about the value of trees. As parents and mentors, it's criti- cal that we ingrain these lessons at an early age. For the second year, one hotel company is stepping up to the task, helping kids get to the "root" of, community service bh' e,.ialtl'. ihem on the significance of planting trees and caring for the environment. Doubletree Hotels, with help from The National Arbor Day Foundation, has created an interac- tive lesson plan on environmental responsibility for teachers and will provide evergreen tree seedlings to thousands of elementary school stu- dents. This educational initiative is an extension of Teaching Kids to CARE, a community outreach pro- gram which pairs more than 100 boubletree Hotels with local ele- mentary schools and youth groups to educate the empower children about making conscious decisions, including caring for their commu- nity. This year, Teaching Kids to CARE volunteers and children .will plant more than 10,000 seedling trees across the U.S. And Canada. For parents (and mentors) wanting to remind kids how important trees are and involve them ini environmentally-conscious activities, here are a few tips: 1. Plant A New "Family Tree" - Take your kids to a garden or home store and allow them to select a young tree to plant at home. Plant the tree in ja .p'cIal location as a family, Ja:...:i iInIL' a different task (digging pamnink watering) to each family member. Make sure to docu- ment the activity with a photo, so kids can remember how small the tree was when they planted it. 2.Think Globally. Act Locally - Kids should learn that planting even one tree makes a difference a full- grown tree provides enough oxygen for four humans each day. Chal- lenge your kids to create enough oxygen through new trees to support your entire street...or neighborhood...or town. 3. TREE-butes The next time a family holiday (birthdays, Mother'siFather's/Grandparents' Day) rolls around, suggest to your kids that they plant a tree in that per- son's honor. Then help them decorate a special "TREE-bute" greeting card to let the family member know about the gift. 4. Memor-Trees Just as trees can be planted to honor someone important, in your child'slife, re- mind them' that a new tree symbol- izes new life and can serve as a memory of someone (family mem- ber,/ friend, pet) that has passed away. Additionally, groups of Memor- Trees can be planted to remember members of the military. 5. Give The Gift of Clean Air - The next time your child needs to take a creative gift to school send a tree seedling for each classmate. Seedlings that are indigenous to your region can be obtained inex- pensively (or free) from the depart- ment' of forestry, or you can (See Teaching Page 5) Delaying Oral Care Harmful R',al residents are nearly twice as likely as their urban counterparts to postpone timely trips to the dentist, seeking help only after they develop. a problem and oral pain is severe. University of Florida researchers re- port. The delay in widespread dissatis- faction with treatment and less than optimal outcomes. "What we found is there is a group of people who wait until their condi- tion is of sufficient painful intensity and duration before deciding that it's bad enough to pick up the phone and call the dentist," said study in- vestigator Joseph Riley, Ph.D., an assistant professor of public health services and research at UF's Col- lege of Dentistry. "There is evidence that these people assume this problem-oriented approach to oral health, because of low access to care, whether that be due to an inability to pay or the lack of dentists practicing in rural areas." Riley added. UF researchers, writing in the April issue of Public Health Reports. noted similar trends among blacks and women, though men with pain- ful symptoms were the group most likely to entirely avoid dental visits, possibly attempting to self-medicate their pain at home to avoid going to the dentist. Over a four-year period, the re- searchers studied patterns in access to dental care among 703 randomly selected people aged 45 years and older living in rural or urban coun- ties in North Florida. Researchers interviewed each par- ticipant and conducted an oral ex- amnination at the beginning of the study. They then conducted follow- up telephone interviews at six- month intervals to track financial status, symptoms of oral pain, and usage of dental services and treat- ment. Study participants were also interviewed in person and under- went additional oral examinations two and four years into the study. Study investigators found rural residents and people who take a problem-oriented rather than pre- ventive approach to oral health care were more likely to need emergency dental care for oral pain. People who live in rural areas and take a problem-oriented approach of opt- ing to wait until oral discomfort worsened were at the highest risk of anyone for needing pain-related emergency treatment. Over the course of the study, 23 percent of the participants experi- enced at least one emergdhcy dental visit because of painful symptoms due to afflictions such as toothaches and abscesses. Sixty-seven percent of those who reported an emergency dental visit due to pain rated their discomfort severe. Overall, men were 20 percent less likely to seek and receive dental care at all, even when suffering from severe oral pain. Only 56 percent of patients who visited the dentist for emergency treatment of painful oral conditions described themselves as "very satis- fied" with the outcome of their treat- ment, versus 79 percent of those who sought urgent care but were pain-free at the time. "What we found is that patients (See Delaying Oral Page 5) MONTICELLO, (FL), NEWS, FRI., MAY 27, 2005 PAGE 5 Maggie's Beauty Shoppe Plans Grand Opening MAGGIE SHOFNER does her hair in her new shoppe.

(News Photo) Delaying Oral Care (Continued From Page 4) who had urgent dental visits because of ,ain were less likely to be satis- fied by the time it took to be seen, the dental treatment they received and by the actual outcome of the visit," said Riley. Riley said there is nothing unique about the dental choices people in rural North Florida make compared with residents .living elsewhere. The UF study findings are consistent with data gathered by the National Center for Health Statistics, wherein minority and poor populations carry the burden of oral health problems, he said. "The recent Surgeon General's re- port on. oral health underscores the public health impact of oral health problems in the United States," said study co-investigator Gregg Gilbert, D.D.S., M.B.A., F.A.A.H.D., a pro- fessor and chairman of diagnostic sciences at the University of Ala- bama at Birmingham School of, Dentistry. "Unfortunately, in tihe oral health area, thosemopst in need of care are the least likely to get it, and a significant amount of suffer- ing and embarrassment, is part of everyday life for certain segments of our population." The U.S. Surgeon General's land- mark 2000 report on the country's oral health outlines substantial suc- cess to care barriers, such, as ability to pay and a shortage of dentists in certain areas, and notes 11 percent of the nation's rural population has never visited a dentist. The report also calls the oral cavity the "mirror of health and disease." More than 90 percent of systemic diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, cardiovascu- lar disease and anemia have oral manifestations, and people who have neglected their oral health are more likely to also have other medi- cal problems. Riley said he believes that access to care is not the only factor at play in determining why people with oral pain delay seeking dental treatment. "Dentistry is really about social and psychological factors: it's per- spective, and the preventive versus problem-oriented approach to dental care is an attitudinal belief," he said. "Therefore, it's something that can be changed." AFFORDABLE VENTURES $500.00 Complete Upper and Lower Dentures BEACHTON DENTURE CLINIC NOW OFFERS .

Students are chosen to attend lthe seminar based upon demonstrated leadership and potential for contin- ued growth in leadership. HOBY Leadership Seminars bring together a select group of high school sophomores with groups of distinguished leaders in business, government, education, and the professions, to discuss pre- sent and future issues. The goal is to provide the youth with a stimulating forum for learn- ing about critical issues, while broadening their understanding of their leadership potential and quest for self-development. HOBY Leadership was estab- lished in 1958 by the popular actor Hugh O'Brian, following a visit to Africa, where he was inspired by a meting ,..ith Dr. Albert S&> izer.- '"Oie of the things that Schweit- zer said to me was the most impor- tant thing in education is to teach young people to think for them- selves," O'Brian said. "From that inspiration, and with the support of others who believe in youth and the American Dream, I started HOBY to speak out, rec- ognize, and develop understanding leadership potential among our na- tion's youth," he added.

Four canines were eutha- nized because of aggression and one canine was returned to the owner. Ames expressed appreciation to Bobbie Golden who got people to come and wash canines before the Adopt-a-thon. She reported that fence repairs had begun in the dog kennels and the work is progressing well. Ames' stated that due to the ani- mal baby boom, there was need for another part time person at the shelter.

She added that Karen Moore had volunteered to conduct adoption call backs to check with those who have adopted animals from the shelter. "We have some great foster homes," said Martin.
