From Sue Rhoades:

According to one independent rescue volunteer, she went in to Arnold Animal Control to see (God forbid, not photograph) the animals. She was told that Jeff was at a meeting at City Hall and Gary was off that day.

Since nobody can go back into the now high-security-protected-from-all-liability-due-to-a-rash-of-photography-loving-public-security vault a/k/a the KENNELS without proper supervision by a member of the MALE species, this citizen was turned away.

So I ask again of Mary Holden -- you say we are "welcome any time, welcome any time!" to come to see the animals? How many false statements can this woman make in 3 months' time? Apparently a LOT.

What do you think? Sound off in the forum .

I think it's no secret that Arnold Talk has had a great impact on the Arnold community.  More and more Arnold residents are using it as a tool to reach out and help their fellow residents in our great town.

Arnold Talk currently averages over a half million hits a month (stats below).  The site has a huge potential to reach thousands more every month.

Arnold Parks and Recreation will host a free Aquafina Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run Competition for area youth. The Event is scheduled for March 29th 2008 at the Fox High School baseball field with registration beginning at 8am...

There was a rumor circulating that there would be a shooting at 1:45 today.  I called the police chief and he said it was "just some kids messaing around".  Well, I thought I'd drive through and check out the campus (around 1:30) and it was silent.  Only one cop, the DARE truck.  Chief Shockey assured me that they had it under control, but I don't think I'll be taking any chances.

Thank God for text messaging and teenagers.
