ATTICS, BASEMENTS & SECRET PLACES – Ep. 3

On this special feature of Attics, Basements, and Secret Places, our correspondent Morgan Koziar managed to get herself and the Home Page crew thrown in jail. Along with being incarcerated, Home Page also had the opportunity to tour the old jail, which is now the Wellsboro Area Chamber of Commerce. Lauren Morral guided us through the historic building and showed us many of the features used in the jail that are still there today.

MAN’S BEST FRIEND AT RISK OF CANCER

Golden Retrievers are some of the most lovable, caring, and loyal dogs known to man. Unfortunately, this great species is fighting an intense battle. Studies have found that nearly 60% of all Golden Retrievers will develop cancer in their lifetime. The Morris Animal Foundation is doing their part to help stop this, but they need your help. The Morris Animal Foundation is heading a Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. They encourage owners of Golden Retrievers to enroll their dogs in this initiative to help diagnose, treat, and prevent this terrible disease.

The study’s success depends on highly committed Golden Retriever owners. Anyone interested in the study must participate in the study for the life of the dog. Complete Online questionnaires regarding your dog’s diet and environment. You must take your dog to its veterinarian for annual examinations and sample collections (blood, urine, feces, hair and toenail clippings). The dog must also be microchipped.
