Show Westside Science Fair Friday The Pet Dish Homeless animals Dr. Harold Davis D.V.M. Homeless dogs and cats live (; all around us and rely on the kindness of strangers to help them survive. No one likes to see these animals suffer and I'm sure we all wish they had a home. Next time you come upon one of these stray or abandoned animals here are some things you might do to help. 1. Find the owner- If the cat or dog seems friendly (tail wagging for dogs, rubbing against your leg or purring for cats) check to see if they have a collar andor tags. You might even take them to your veterinarian to have them checked for a microchip. Putting up fliers in the area you found the animal or checking for a lost animal notice at the local shelter may help find the owner as well. Never approach an animal that seems feral or unfriendly. Our animal control officers here in Springville are wonderful. They are always willing to help. 2. Find help if you need it- If you can't look after the animal yourself, try to find a friend to help. Locate a no-kill organization to take the animal into their program. Be patient, these organizations can't always accept an animal immediately. immedi-ately. One place to help is www.pets911.com. 3. Foster until you can find a home- This can be a great experience for you and your family. Especially for abandoned puppies or kittens. 4. Spay arid neuter-All neuter-All rescued animals should be spayed or neutered to prevent continued over population of dogs and cats. This is especially important with cats because they can get pregnant at just 4 to 5 months of age and can get pregnant even when nursing kittens. They also go into heat frequently. Neutering just one cat can.greatly help to reduce the number of homeless home-less and feral cats. 5. Help stop the cycle of animal homelessness- v Unless you want to find many more cats around your home and neighborhood, help educate your neighbors, friends and family about the importance of spaying and neutering their own pets.

Five years from now you will pretty much the same as you are today except for two things; the books you read and the people you get close to. - Charles Jones Every year the third graders at Westside Elementary spend the year learning and memorizing their multiplication facts. It takes a long time, but they are all very excited for the reward at the end. After all the work they are rewarded with a multiplication pizza party. The thing about this particular pizza party is that the pizza doesn't come already made. The students make their own pizza, but the catch is that they only get ingredients based on the facts that they have passed off. For example, O's and 1's are the plate and 2's are the crust and 10's are the cheese, etc. all the way to the drink and treats for the harder facts. The party is a lot of fun, but the best part is knowing all those multiplication facts!

Open M-F, 12-6 p.m. r 4 i A O Everything Deal GgC'gSg Presented by Mike and Julie Pierce FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW Many people buy homes, partly or wholly, on the basis of the view that they afford of the surrounding landscape. If you are about to make a purchase of property prop-erty with a "million-dollar view," you might want to take steps to assure yourself that this important feature will be preserved. With this in mind, have your agent ask the present owner or the city zoning and planning office if the property is protected by a view ordinance. In addition, your agent can find out if neighbors are subject to restrictions that would protect your view. If the property is in a planned unit development, check whether a homeowners' association actively enforces restrictions. Lastly, check local zoning laws for building restrictions. . Buying a home will probably rank as one of the biggest big-gest personal investments one can make. Being organized orga-nized and in control will contribute significantly to getting get-ting the best home deal possible with the least amount of stress. UTAH VALLEY REAL ESTATE is here to assist you with this part of your future home purchase. Conveniently located at 31 5 South 500 East, American Ameri-can Fork, we will work with you to discover your dream home. Contact our office at 801-830-9292 or visit our website.
