Neighborhood
Dogs Running Loose
|
Hi Ted,
I dont know if you will mention this or not, but I have to say that lately the amount of dogs running loose in my neighborhood is increasing. I walk my son Kevins dog Slugger almost every evening, & I am constantly being chased by dogs not fenced or leashed. I walk from 17th & Oak, down to 13th & Walnut & all around this general area. I thought I saw a position opening for Animal Control Officer, they might want to check this out. I am constantly detouring if I can see the loose dog before they see us, if not we start running when they come charging us. It does raise the heart rate, but not the intended cardio Im looking for.
Thanks for all you do,
Karen Phillips (Sept. 17, 2010) |
Middle
School Science Grant
|
Ted, We received a K20 grant for $40,000 for our science department and the teachers involved will be involved in professional development on Sept. 22 all day at the Middle School. If you would like to stop by you may. Later the teachers and students will be using the FOSS science kits for experiments and I will also let you know that schedule. I will be attending a conference on Sept. 22 & 23 in Norman for this same science grant. I will bring back additional information for you. If you are interested let me know. -- Thanks, Kelly Hamlin (9/21/2010) |
These Collinsville Middle School teachers were working on details associated with the science grant Wednesday Sept. 23, 2010. |
Loose
Dogs Followup

Hi Ted,
As a volunteer with
Ward-Wiseman Animal Haven, I just wanted to respond briefly to Karen's
concern about loose dogs running around, which is completely justified.
Section 4-102 of the City Ordinance reads"It is unlawful for any
person having control of any animal, except a cat but including fowl,
to allow or permit the same to run at large within the corporate limits
of the city." We do in fact have a new, very friendly ACO that
was just hired on with the city, but he keeps regular hours like many
of us on Monday through Friday. If it is after 5PM, you can still call
the police department to report any animal you feel threatened by. The
number is the same for either the ACO or CPD: 371-1000. Make sure to
note some general features of the animal (color, approximate size, collar?,
etc.) and where you saw it last. Chris (9/24/2010) |
