Barred owl hurt during holiday now doing ok The Barred owl couple that became neighbors of Billie Kay and Todd Wilson in their yard in the Town Creek valley of Hurt Street have been making news this year.

Carol Perkins: The Celebration Previous Column: A Sack of Potatoes By Carol Perkins The 4th of July began for me on Thursday night when my friends and I attended a free concert at Skypac called "Star Spangled Spectacular", featuring Broadway star Stephen Amerson and an assembly of local talent as the choir. It was a spectacular night of patriotic music and songs. The highlight was when the orchestra played a song from each branch of the military, and those who served stood for a rousing round of applause. On Friday, Edmonton "put on the dog" for the 4th with a parade, followed by a free concert by the band Otis, followed by The Kentucky Headhunters. With the threat of storms and the fact that none of us could walk well, we sat in the car, watched the crowd, and listened to the music. I loved that a few of our local youngsters opened up for the bands. They will never forget it. Speaking of cars, I wasn't sure about parking. Buses shuttled people from the high school to Bowling Park, and for those who needed a walker or were in wheelchairs, ample parking was available, though the distance to the concert site remained considerable.
