Make plans to visit craft fair
Christmas craft fair Mark your calendars for the upcoming annual Christmas Craft Market on Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the community hall.

many sponsors, especially 100 Mile NAPA, Davis Leather and the Missing Links Band. A catastrophe One night, the temperature dropped to below freezing. A bitter wind blew against the back of our house. A faint meowing sound came from somewhere nearby, but nothing could be seen. In the morning, a small black cat, little more than a kitten, lay bone-thin and frozen, huddled below the dryer vent where it had crawled for a bit of warmth. The next afternoon an even smaller cat sat at the edge of the field. There are cats and kittens wandering all over the Grove, search-
ing for shelter and food. Some struggle to survive, abandoned at the dump. Cougars and coyotes may take some, but the rest have only starvation and cold ahead of them. This is a problem that will not go away until we put a stop to the number of feral cats in the Grove.
If you are not prepared to take care of a cat throughout its life, perhaps you should reconsider getting one. If you have a cat and cannot afford to care for it or have it neutered, please do the decent and responsible thing. Call the SPCA at 250395-5303.
