Center this April to give landowners necessary information about
high power transmission line property acquisitions and the

attendance. He followed up with another well-attended meeting with
attorneys and land acquisition appraiser in May. |

We said goodbye to Miss Perch,

wasn't "sick", but had a bout with a tick-borne bacterial
infection which caused weakness in the rear-end.

Humble family, Bluejacket, gets a hoof trimming. Oscar,
a rescue by their daughter when he was just born, has been
raised with the dogs and thinks he is one.
