The batteries out of a number of ICS Head Start buses were taken when thieves cut through a chain-link fence, after breaking away the exterior board fence that serves as a privacy fence. Street said he lets ICS store its buses there at no charge and when a bus is out of service another stored on his lot is pulled into service. The big buses hold two batteries in a side panel and the smaller buses have one battery under the hood. Both types have been taken.

Field Trial Hall of Fame ceremonies set for Feb. 11 Sporting dog fans from all over the country are heading to nearby Grand Junction, Tenn. They will have plenty of reasons to celebrate this year since new milestones have recently been accomplished at the National Bird Dog Museum. Little did anyone realize in February 1991, that the small structure then being dedicated as a “start-up” museum for bird dogs would grow and prosper to such an extent that it is today – a spacious, modern facility, and a destination for sporting dog fans from across the continent.
