Letter: Use Care When Giving Away Animals

Wanda Kerns writes:
I have noticed lately that people post ads giving away free puppies and little dogs. There are dog fights around, and some people act like they want a little puppy or dog when actually they are used in dog fights to train them to kill and are ripped to shreds. Ask for references and possibly even visits in the future. --Wanda Kerns

I pray law enforcement follows up and takes this seriously. Those that start on killing and torturing helpless animals may soon graduate to two-legged prey. - Karen Roland

Commentary: Bill Troutwine pledges $50 toward $1,000 reward

Reward would be offered catch the heartless jerks who killed the defenseless nanny-goats. Remember, law enforcement is not just the responsibility of law enforcement officers, but it is the responsibility of all good citizens. - BILL TROUTWINE

Personal commentary

Melissa, incidents such as this deeply anger me. I am sure the Sheriff's office has already been contacted, and that is the proper thing to do, but unfortunately crimes like this are hard to solve unless someone talks.

A.J. was the sole survivor of a litter of nine. The others died of pneumonia. She's so active and mobile now she's earned the nickname Miss Independence. 'At seven weeks old A.J. has already attended college. Who knows - maybe as she gets older she'll get a degree in Dog Psychology. - PEG SCHAEFFER

Sugarfoot Farm Rescue

Someone called me about a dog that had been roaming in her neighborhood. The dog was pregnant and she was concerned for the dog's welfare. She asked if I could take her in. I love the puppies so I said "yes" without any hesitation. She brought the dog to me at the end of February and in less than a few weeks she had nine puppies.

Chuck Hinman: IJMA. My First Car

Chuck Hinman: My First Car. Chuck gets his first car at 28 and says, I don't remember being fit to be tied over not having a car.
Next earlier Chuck Hinman column - Me And My Hair

By Chuck Hinman

My First Car

How old were you when you got your first car? I was 28. That's hard to believe. Both our kids, Paul and Mary Ann, had their first cars soon after they were licensed to drive at 16. And at the time it seemed that was none too soon.

But why didn't the same need for a car exist when I was a young teenager? I can think of a couple of whys. One is that kids now have after-school jobs which were unheard of when we were their age. Also there is a beaucoup of activities that didn't exist when we were youngsters.

Tom Chaney: Confluence of Memory: Continuity of Love

Of Writers And Their Books: The Confluence of Memory: The Continuity of Love. Tom tells us that Eudora Welty wrote, "....the greatest confluence of all is that which makes up the human memory -- the individual human memory. . . . The memory is a living thing -- it too is in transit." This column first appeared 3 May 2009.

By Tom Chaney

The Confluence of Memory: The Continuity of Love

I must confess to a love affair with an older woman. She was at least thirty years my senior and never knew of my affection. It was a serious affair of the heart on my part. Her part was made up of stories which entwined themselves into my very being.

My first encounter with Eudora Welty came in the spring of 1963 -- all such affairs should begin in the spring -- in Jackson, Mississippi.
