Readers Lend Their Voices...
To the Editor,
I would like to let Banks
residents know that they can now listen
to Braves HS athletics on mixlr.com/
banksbraves Mixlr is a free app that
can be downloaded to any iPhone or
Android device.
I have 10 years broadcasting
experience from Lincoln County. At
this time I am not set up as a fully
incorporated business, but I am willing
to offer free advertising to interested
businesses willing to try me out for
a trial year, until I become a legal
operating business. I may consider
covering Logger athletics as well when
that occurs.
Anyone
seeking
more
information can reach me at 971-330-
8122. Thank you.

Columbia Humane Society
Featured Pet
Meet Crash
I came to the shelter after I had
been run over by a car and left
on the side of the road. I had
very bad road rash on my back
leg that required vet attention
and a lot of antibiotics. I am
now healed and ready to go to
that new forever home that I can
claim as my own. I growl a little at other cats, but once I get used to
them I get over it. Please don't hesitate to stop in and see me today. The
shelter estimates that I am around 3 years old. I am neutered and current
on my vaccines.
