Dogs have other super-powers that, with training, enable them to be seeing-eye dogs. Budding entomologists Cindy and Victoria Rice brought live specimens of insects in jars, while program director Bridget Rohner was well-prepared with placards depicting insects for t...
In recent issues of The Record we have shared the involved paperwork that early homesteaders had to complete and how they even had to involve their neighbors in the successful completion of the “patent” granting them the homestead.
