The day Junior, age 6, came home from school talking about the movie, “Star Wars,” I have to admit I got a little excited.
It seems his best friend at school is an authority on the classic science fiction film of my childhood. When interested in something, both boys totally immerse themselves in the subject, analyzing and discussing the fine points. I was immediately instructed that we needed to “watch all the Star Wars movies as soon as possible.”
Earlier this week, I had a chance to visit the Nash County Animal Shelter and visit with some of the many volunteers who visit each day to take pictures of and get information on all the animals that are brought in so that they can promote them and ultimately get them adopted.
These volunteers go to the shelter at least twice a day to make sure they have the latest information on who has arrived and who has been adopted.

My name is Ashley Michael, I am 9 years old and attend 5th grade at Splendor Road Academy (homeschool). Today while my mom was driving by the Nash County Courthouse I noticed the American flag was upside down. It worried me at first because I learned in school that when the flag is displayed with the union side down, it is a signal of distress for the US and there is or has been extreme danger to life or property from another country.

Paws to think about this… The State of Minnesota found that every $1 invested in a low-income spay/neuter program resulted in a $19 savings in animal control costs. According to Peter Marsh of Solution to End Overpopulation of Pets, “Any system that spends 19 times more to treat a problem than to prevent it in the first place is doomed to an endless struggle.”
