Small gray kitten needs a good home

A small kitten was dropped off at our home last Thursday. He needs a good home. We have been feeding it (don't know if it is male or female) and it is very friendly and just as cute as a button, but I am allergic to cats. We don't have anyone to care for him. It is a gray with stripes of a bit darker gray going around him. Please, someone take the kitten and make a good home for it. -Betty Thorsen.

Great American Smokeout is November 20, 2008

By Jelaine Phillips

The Great American Smokeout is Thursday November 20, 2008. This day is set aside each year to bring awareness to the issues of smoking and to encourage smokers to quit, at least for the day. An estimated 46 million adults in the United States currently smoke, and approximately half will die prematurely from smoking. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women and more than 80% of lung cancers are thought to result from smoking. Smoking causes one in five deaths from all causes. For more information on the Great American Smokeout go to www.cancer.org

Camera found

A guest in my home over the weekend found a nifty little digital camcorder in the grass while taking a shortcut to visit a friend. The cover to the batteries is missing, and I'm not sure if it works, but it does have a memory card with 33 jpg. files, and including pets, kids, and a baptism. I don't recognize anyone in the pictures, but some are labeled. If someone can tell me the labels. probably first names of the kids in the pictures, they can claim their camera. -SHELLIE ELMORE
