By Monty Siekerman
A Responsible Pet Workshop will be held at Community Health Professionals, 1200 S. Main, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21. The workshop is for owners of dogs, cats, and other small animals.

Melanie Butterfield, a Girl Scout ambassador for Alger Troop 20301, has organized the event as part of her gold award, which is the highest award given in Girl Scouts.

She is the daughter of Randy and Angie Butterfield, and is a senior who is homeschooled.

A veterinarian from Metz Pets and Amanda Sloan, from Open Heart Bully Rescue, will speak.

They will describe how to care for pets and tell pet rescue stories.

USV elementary teachers will be helping at Ada McDonald's on Monday night to help raise money for the school.

They compete against Ada, which had a large number of people turn out last Monday. The schools all share in a percentage of sales, but the school system with the most sales gets an extra $150.

So, now it's up to Rams to try to top Ada's sales between 5-8 p.m. on Monday
