Susanville Ace Hardware Helping to Raise

Funds for Monticola Scholarship Program

Want to get some great spring deals on hardware while supporting a great cause? Susanville Ace Hardware is using their “Round Up” program to raise money for the Susanville Monticola Club all month long.

Each time you purchase something at ACE during the month of March, the staff will ask you if you would like to round-up to the nearest dollar for the Susanville Monticola Club Scholarship program.

“Each year we award three scholarships to local Lassen High School graduates, and one scholarship to a local Lassen College graduate,” explains Monticola spokesperson Naomi Turner.

“We would like to thank our community for visiting and rounding-up their purchases.”

Turner thanked Susanville Ace Hardware Manager Rick Buck and his staff for the opportunity, saying that the club greatly appreciates it.

Corral staff will limit movement of animals inside the multi pen facility.

“This disease is highly contagious among horses,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office which oversees the corrals.

“Because it is so easily spread, we need to close the facility to the public to prevent people accidently spreading strangles to their own horses after visiting our corrals.”

Affected horses will be isolated in a large holding area at the corrals until the disease runs its course. The BLM corral staff will be consulting closely with a veterinarian in caring for the horses and determining when it is safe to reopen the corrals.

Daily care and feeding of the horses and burros in the corrals will continue as normal.

Strangles is a bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract. It presents as nasal discharge, fever and swollen lymph nodes around the throat. In most cases, the disease runs its course in two to four weeks.

General seating is $30 per ticket. For more information call the Symphony hotline at 530-310-8111 or logon to www.susanvillesymphony.com to find out more.

You can purchase tickets at Margie’s Booknook, 722 Main Street, or Axia Home Loans at 2940 Riverside Drive Suite C.
