King

**Application/interview only and multiple meets**

Hello!  My name is King. I am a very, very high energy guy. I would be great in a home as active as I am. I love to learn and am very food motivated, so anyone who is interested in furthering my education would be ideal. Breed experience would be preferred! I would do best in an adult only home, I am super happy-go-lucky, but I can be a bit of a bull and I don’t always realize how big I am (this is why adults would be best for me)! Right now I have been working on my manners, but I aim to please and am a very willing student. I’m as physically strong as I am strong willed! I just get so excited when I see something I want/like that I just can’t help but try to get it. I would do best in a home with no cats. I do play with a very select few dogs here at the shelter, so I would need to meet any house/play mates I would have in my new home. I also require a fenced in yard. Please come visit me today! I’m just an awesome young man who wants to find a home of my own!

Leeland

Hello!  My name is Leeland!  I came into the shelter in November as a stray.  The staff at first thought I was a little wild cat.  I didn’t want anything to do with anyone.  But they’re stubborn here.  They worked and worked with me and never gave up!  And guess what?  I’ve learned that people are here to make me happy!  They feed me and pet me when I’m friends with them.  I need a special family that can go really slow with me and teach me to love them!  I’m a lover boy when I love you and want petted and snuggled.  But you have to earn my trust.  I will do best going home and initially being in a smaller space until I get used to my new home.  I need an adults only house.  I seem to like other cats, so I’d probably do well going home with some outgoing friends!  Come visit me today!  I am ready to go home!

New Glass Recycling Initiative Introduced At Commissioners’ Work Session

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

At a brief commissioners’ work session on Wednesday, Waste Management Director Holly Vogt brought forth a new initiative for recycling in Beaver County called “Glass Back To Glass”. She explained the basics of the new initiative to the County Commissioners and meeting attendees:

 

 

This new initiative came after a series of complaints by county citizens about the inability to have their glass collected when the Waste Management Department ended such collections earlier in 2019. Vogt sees this initiative as a solution to that as well as other issues the county has yet to fix:

 

Meanwhile, the Commissioners agreed upon the cancellation of the May 22 work session, and Chairman Dan Camp explained why:

 

The scheduled public meeting for May 23 is still set to occur, and that is when the Commissioners will again meet publicly.
