MISSING CAT – Whisk — REWARD for safe return —

Drive (off North Williston Road) and near the Williston Golf Course. She is friendly, mostly gray with some white on her chest and legs, and has double paws in the front. She is very tall and thin. We were fostering her from the humane society and loved her so much that we recently adopted her. Our family is devastated that she has not come home for this long. Please reach out to Carolyn with any sightings. carolyn@trapeni.com or text at 802-881-9902.

Watch the setup for Iroquois Ice Out challenge

The Lake Iroquois Association invites the public to watch as a pallet and cinderblock — attached to a clock on shore — are placed on the ice of Lake Iroquois for the third annual IceOut Challenge at 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 6. Association board member Ernie Rossi will set up the pallet and clock to record the ice-out date and time. Last year’s ice-out date was April 2. Participants in the Lake Iroquois Ice Out Challenge pay $1 per ticket to guess the date and time a concrete block mounted on the pallet will break through the ice on Lake Iroquois. Tick- ets for the Ice-Out Challenge are available until March 1 at www. lakeiroquois.org. Ice out dates recorded on Lake Iroquois since 1987 can be found on the site.

All funds raised by the IceOut Challenge are used to improve water quality and protect the lake from invasive species, including a greeter and boat washing station at the state fishing access.

Parking on Monday is available at the Rossi’s home, 802 Beebe Lane in Williston — either in front of the house or across the road from it. Beebe Lane is accessed from Oak Hill Road.
