June 2013 saw a larger than average number of lost or abandoned dogs in some areas within Lincoln County. While our numbers are still comparatively lower than surrounding counties, the need for a protocol became apparent. Through volunteer efforts, Lincoln County Lost & Found Pet Network was formed as a communications network, utilizing a Facebook account as a central clearinghouse in which to post lost or found animals, in hopes of reuniting owners with their lost pets. This is not a rescue facility, only volunteers willing...

By KATHY TAYLOR I arrived at the tidy home of Clarene Haynie and we immediately got into a discussion of the huge creek fire that had once raged outside her residence while she was blissfully sitting on her sofa (probably knitting), completely unaware until a neighbor phoned her. She is a woman who can find humor in almost any situation, even a fire. Despite life's ups and downs, she considers herself blessed and happy. It is difficult to leave her presence without feeling...

After a lengthy discussion about the pros and cons of the town controlling its own garbage pick-up versus contracting with Consolidated Disposal Services, the council decided they would like the Town of Odessa to keep control of the garbage collection process. The Council wants to continue the service of collecting leaves, grass and other organic materials, because its a good service for the residents of the town, emptying containers can be scheduled as needed, and if the Town owns its own truck, bio-solids can be hauled as...

If there were an infinite number of lines on an infinitely expanding plane, positioned in every direction, each line would intersect with an infinite number of other lines, yet it would still never meet every line that exists on the plane. Imagine each of these lines as a human. We are met with infinite possibilities in our life, yet there are some things which we are moving parallel to. There are some people we will never meet, some things we will never do, some places we will never go. Yet, should that stop us from continui...

My household accumulates quite a number of plastic shopping bags. Most come home with me from the grocery store. I use them to line the little garbage pail that sits under the kitchen sink and the wastebasket that's in the bathroom. I also have the joy of using them to pick up poop deposited by Buster Brown, my faithful mutt from the pound. But if you don't have uses for the plastic shopping bags you bring home, what do you do with them? Researchers hope that one day -- perhap...
