We’ve featured Gabrielle before, but she is still hanging out at the OCHS office. She is tired of being an office cat. She wants to be a house cat! Gabby was surrendered to the Humane Society by a well-meaning but not very well-equipped “cat lover” who had acquired 24 cats.

Mayor, Councilor Spar Over Herbicide Debate
Mayor Billy Barlow fired back at Council Vice President John Gosek on Monday refuting claims the councilor made at last week’s committee meetings. Gosek initiated discussion regarding a proposed local law to prohibit the spraying of herbicides on city properties. After a lengthy debate at committee, his attempt to bring the matter to the full council was stymied. However, the mayor pointed out Monday that it’s pretty much a moot point. The city already has a spraying policy in place, adding that for any spraying to be done, the proposal must first be approved by the council.
