Volunteers Seek Donations Today To Help Feral Cats At Molino Store
November 9, 2013
The Junior Humane Society will be raising funds today to spay a neuter a feral cat colony that lives behind the Dollar General in Molino.
Volunteers will be collecting donations from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Jimmy’s Grill, next door to the Dollar General on Highway 29 near Molino Road. Junior Humane Society volunteer Ashley Sui estimates there are at least a dozen of the feral cats.
“The kittens can be socialized and adopted out but the older cats are completely feral so we are trapping, spaying or neutering and releasing them back to the location where we trapped them,” she said. ” We just have to get them to stop reproducing.”

Workshop Tonight: Century To Debate Possible Barnyard Animal Ban
November 4, 2013
The Town of Century will hold a special workshop tonight to discuss an animal control ordinance that will potentially limit or prohibit barnyard animals in the town limits.
Back on October 21, the town considered an ordinance that would make it illegal to keep any horse, mule, donkey, goat, sheep or cattle within the town limits, except on property zoned as agricultural. There are only three parcels of land in the town currently zoned agricultural.
But that barnyard animal ordinance was put out to pasture over numerous unanswered questions. There were concerns over if, and how, current animals might be grandfathered in and the possibility of variances being issued for some property owners.
Council President Ann Brooks said any barnyard animal ordinance should include provisions for minimum acreage and fencing.
Town consultant Debbie Nickles was tasked with researching options and returning with ideas and possibly a new ordinance for consideration during tonight’s workshop. The workshop begins at 6 p.m., just prior to the council’s regular meeting at 7 p.m.

Tate, Crestview, Niceville Shootout Tonight To Determine Playoff Spots
November 4, 2013
Update to this story….click here.
A three-way “shootout” between Tate, Crestview and Niceville tonight will determine which of the two teams will head to the playoffs.
The shootout, to be held at 7:00 at Niceville, will determine the district champion and runner-up.
The night will begin with one quarter of play between the Tate Aggies and Crestview. The winner advances to play one quarter against Niceville.
If Niceville wins, they take the district title and their opponent (the winner of the Tate-Crestview quarter) will be district runner-up with both teams advancing to the playoffs on November 14.
If Niceville loses, the winner takes the district title and Niceville would then play the loser of the Tate-Crestview quarter with the prevailing team named district runner-up.
