The first thing you will notice about me is that I just want to cuddle. The second thing you will notice is that when I play with toys, my whole personality comes to life. But I am a good girl who gives up toys quickly and easily. I also love riding in the car, and I get along with other dogs, although I can get a little vocal about it! I have a sweet little deer hop that I use to bounce from place to place. I am short in stature and although I am a physically fit girl, I do great on my leash and don’t pull too hard. You will enjoy your walks with me as they will be full of happiness and joy! Come see me at Pets4Ever, 6311 Nicks Road, Mebane, or call 304-2300. You can also go online at www.animalprotectionsociety.org ORANGE COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES — Meet Simon! This cute Orange Tabby boy is around 2 months old and full of spunk!

up behind the Cane Creek Baptist Church Activities Center, perhaps the prettiest polling place in the county. She always likes working at the poll behind the church, where even on a morning like Tuesday’s the farms and fields visible from the vista are like something out of a postcard. In town, the turnout story Tues- day was similar. There was no waiting at the North Carrboro precinct, but not for lack of interest. An estimated 77 percent of the precinct’s 2,464 reg- istered voters had already cast their ballots. That left about 450 residents eligible to vote on Election Day. A poll worker at the precinct reported that this included a teenager casting his first presidential ballot and an 80-year-old woman who wanted to help make history. By day’s end, 309 precinct residents voted. Though larger than most years, a heavy turnout in Orange County is not all that unusual. Neither is a tally that skews Democratic. Results from Tuesday night show that 30,364 Democrats voted a straight ticket compared to 8,952 Republicans and 283 Libertarians. At the top of the ticket, Demo- cratic nominee Barack Obama drew 53,712 votes in Orange County, con- photos by kirk ross tributing to a razor thin and, at press H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H (Above) Democratic Party canvassers John Betts (left) and George Hoag braved the rain and cool temperatures while working at a polling site on Weaver Dairy Road Extension. time, unofficial victory in North (At left) Voters line up during Saturday’s last hour of early voting at Carrboro Town Hall.
