They had no idea how long the jar had been stuck on the cub’s head, or how much longer it could have survived without being able to eat or drink. Once out of the tree, Stinson held the cub’s head so Bassinger could cut the jar off. After the tranquilizer’s effect wore off, the little cub woke up and ran off into the woods to find its momma, Berry said. “We would like to thank Stin- son and Bassinger for their help,” said Berry. Wednesday evening, Berry said she spotted the momma bear and four cubs in her field again. “The cub had found its mother and all seemed well,” she said. PSA lists

He easily won reelection in 2017 as voters unhappy with Pres- ident Donald Trump gave Demo- crats a huge boost at the polls. Herring has been a frequent critic of the president and a vocal supporter of same-sex marriage, immigrant-friendly policies and stricter gun control. He was one of three high-ranking Democrats caught up in a wave of scandals last year when he acknowledged he had worn blackface in college. Since then, Herring has posted lackluster fundraising totals and his future in public office has been unclear.

Jeff Bourne, a Democrat from Rich- mond, would make it easier for people to sue police officers and col- lect money damages in state court for alleged violations of their civil rights, ending the immunity that shields police from liability. The legislation was defeated Monday when two Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee voted with Republicans against it. But on Tuesday, the committee reconsidered and approved the leg- islation, sending it to the full House for a vote. The bill is a top priority for Democrats during a special legislative session focused on police and criminal justice reforms. Republicans have opposed the legisla- tion, arguing that it could invite frivolous lawsuits and make it more difficult to hire and retain police officers by exposing them to civil liability. A similar bill failed in the Senate last week when the Judiciary Committee voted to send the proposal for further study.

Armstrong disguised his son as a Tory and sent him north to the New River Valley. He told his son to go to Back Creek farm and ask Major Joseph Cloyd for help. Cloyd was concerned for the safety of the New River Valley and requested that he be able to aid in the suppression of the Tories in North Carolina. NRV SEPTIC TANK SERVICE
