BURN BAN ENDED
Henderson County Commissioners did not extend the burn ban during Commissioners Court Tuesday.

Please be careful burning and remember you must stay with your fires at all times and have a water source available. Leaving a fire unattended is illegal. You are responsible for your fire and if property damage results from your fire you can be held responsible criminally.

HOO'S IDEA WAS THIS?
First-grade students at South Athens Elementary recently dissected owl pellets. The pellets are the indigestible parts of an owl’s meal — such as fur, bones and feathers — which form into small masses that are regurgitated by the bird. It’s a great way for students to learn about the food chain, even if some of them, like Emiliana Cleto, are a little leery at first. (COURTESY PHOTO)
