A Look at History: Erie Canal Celebrates 200 Years
Two hundred years ago, the first ceremonial shovelful of dirt was dug on the Erie Canal near Rome, NY. In July 1817, New York officially undertook construction of what would become the longest artificial waterway and greatest public works project in North America. This year marks the bicentennial of the Erie Canal, a milestone that provides a good reason to look back at our history and appreciate the engineering marvel that is the Erie Canal.

Pets of the Week – Jack and Mack
This picture doesn’t begin to do them justice, but Jack and Mack are so bonded with people (all people) and with each other that it is almost impossible to get them to “pose” the way a more aloof and dignified cat will. They are brothers, orphaned at a very young age and bottle fed by one of our saintly foster families so they could survive.
