ER February & March 2019 Volume 11, issue 2 February/march 2019 Eureka City would like to thank Teri Underwood for publishing the City’s monthly newsletter for the past six and a half years. She has kept our citizens informed of many events that have taken place in our local schools, city and county functions as well as from all the different organizations or businesses in town.; posting the local obituaries, historic photos, calendar of events, etc. Teri is currently pursuing her education and needs to focus her time more on her school work, so she is unable to continue with the newsletter. She has done a great job and we will miss her, but would like to congratulate her on furthering her education. THANK YOU TERI !!! R E M I N D E R T O A L L P E T O W N E R S Eureka City has been receiving numerous calls on dogs running at large within the community, knocking over trash cans and making a mess, attacking other peoples pets, being left out in the cold, etc. We have also received some on the many cats that are running around town. We would like to inform all citizens of Eureka that Eureka City does have an Animal Control Ordinance and it is up to each pet owner to be responsible for their own pets by becoming familiar with said ordinance and complying with all regulations. Our current Ordinance requires all dogs to be licensed with Eureka City, license fees are $15.00 for females, $10.00 for males and $5.00 for spayed/neutered dogs. Before a dog can be licensed, it must have a current rabies vaccination. ALL DOGS ARE REQUIRED TO BE LICENSED!! If a person has more than two dogs, they are required to apply for a Kennel License. All Dogs must be contained on the owner’s property or restrained on a leash or lead. Every year, Eureka City and Nebo Animal Clinic sponsor a Rabies Clinic in May to accommodate the citizens so they can get their pets the required vaccinations and can then license their animals the same day. It is highly recommended that the citizens take advantage of this service. Eureka City now has a Code Enforcement Officer who has been instructed to start citing individuals for any animal control violations. The Animal Control Ordinance is available to be viewed by anyone interested at the City Office during normal business hours.

April’s book will be Dewey the small-town Library Cat who touched the World by Vicki Myron How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library, save a classic American town, and eventually become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer those questions until you hear the charming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa. Call Jackie Jones for a copy 435-433-2217. May’s Book Will Be Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only complete- ly accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Sat- urday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So, the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flar- ing. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist… Call Elinda Nedreberg (801)660-8088 for a copy.

  • Autumn Newsletter
    ELTHAM, SIDCUP & DISTRICT BRANCH Registered Charity No. 203644 AUTUMN NEWSLETTER 2019 MY FAIR SADIE! THERE was a big mystery about Sadie - why was she with us for so long when she was such a nice girl? Every now and then a cat takes weeks, even months, to find a home for some unexplained reason and sadly it has been Sadie this summer. Maybe it’s because a lot of potential owners want kittens or because many people are on holiday and delaying a decision to adopt a new pet. Her website listing made it clear she had a lot to offer as “an affectionate and lovable young cat who will be a super pet”. Jacqui first met Sadie last year in dramatic circumstances, as she recounted: “Picture the scene. The heavens had opened, thunder and lightning, and she was about to give birth hidden under a pile of rubbish in someone’s garden. “In the middle of all this, the people living in the house (who didn’t know she was there) let their large dog out (who did know she was there). “He started barking and pushing his face in while she was having her kittens. “Once the people realised what was going on, they called me. When I arrived, she was soaking wet and so were her three babies. She was a good, protective mum months later she was back in our care. Unfortunately and wasn’t going to let me near them. It’s difficult in sharing a home with youngsters was too much and so this situation because if I try to grab her and it doesn’t she needed a second chance.

  • Mascot for Maine Libraries
    The Story of a Cat - Mascot for Maine Libraries by Sarah Sugden, Director of Waterville Public Library) A blizzard blew in one cold winter night in Maine. The wind cried and howled across the lawn in front of the quiet State House. Inside, the rooms were cold and empty; everyone had gone home. Across the lawn, in front of the library, the statue of Samantha Smith was white with snow. Under the statue crouched a small furry ball. “Meow,” the kitten said, but nobody was there to hear – just the wind and the snow and the cold, cold air. The kitten pulled in tighter to its fur and waited. “Meow.” The sky grew lighter, and soon cars came- red, blue, black, and yellow. People began to walk about, but nobody noticed the kitten crouched small under the statue. A kindly man in big boots, big hat, big coat, and big mittens walked along the path by the statue. His big boots made noise as they crunched the squeaky snow. “Meow.” “Oh, my goodness!” said the man. “My word! It’s a kitten.” He crouched down and looked at the kitten. “Meow,” said the kitten again. “Oh, you poor puss,” the man cried. “Let’s get you inside the library.” He scooped the kitten up in his big mittens, smoothing snow and ice off the kitten’s fur and tucked the kitten into the pocket of his big coat. His pocket was warm and soft and filled with keys and paper and little bits of things. “Off we go, cat!” said the man.
