Sheriff's report

A couple of items to note in the county sheriff's report this week (via the WTCN):

Bevington Kum & Go store reported antifreeze, valued at $12.50, was shoplifted from the business.

G--- F----, of rural Norwalk, reported being bitten by a dog in the 2000 block of R63 Highway. The dog was apparently loose and several people were trying to catch it when F---- was bitten; the dog was taken to Indianola for examination.


And the following note from the Norwalk Police Chief, all errors left intact for your interpretation:

Dog licenses are due as of January 1. It is time to go to the Police Station with proof of rabies vaccination and bring $10 ($5 if spayed or neutered) to license old Shep. There is a $10 penalty for late registration after March 1. Last year we licensed 593 dogs, 549 in 2003, 570 in 2002 and 580 in 2001 the first year of the program.

That program is an assurance to you that 593 dogs we know were vaccinated and cared for. Those owners also saved about $100 impound bill and a $45 fine and Court Cost. This program promotes not only the safety of our people in our community, but the safety of the pets as well.

I license my two dogs; well they're actually my kid's dogs each year. You see they told me 12 years ago that if we took them they would always give them a good home. I just didn't know it was going to be mine.

We'll be registering and licensing Monday through Friday 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day.


Yes, I really was curious to know how many dogs have been registered in Norwalk for the past four years.

Actually, most of the articles in this week's WTCN are devoted to the school's $6.3 million bond election, so it's not quite as entertaining as last week's. I was hoping there'd be some more recipes, as I'm needing something to include in this week's Carnival of the Recipes.
