Stifling Free Speech 

Breaking the Law- Opinion

According to readers, there were initially 250 Protect Women No Barbre signs which have now virtually all disappeared. 

Early in the campaign, the signs were pulled out of the ground and dropped. As the signs were put back in the ground, soon they were stolen. 

Reportedly, the thefts occur early in the evening throughout our community.

How to Remove Skunk Smells-Opinion

From a post on Facebook

________________________________

The best way we’ve found to remove the smell of skunk is:

1 bottle hydrogen peroxide,

1 tablespoon dish soap

1/4 cup baking soda

Sponge

Put first two in bowl, have the stinky one ready in sink and just before you sponge the mixture on add baking soda. Be VERY careful not to get it in nose or eyes. Massage through hair. Let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing. Use your regular soap, rinse, dry. You literally can let them sleep on your bed after with no issues.

 I am anxious for a safe, loving, forever home.
