| The city council, who votes on appointments here, has their own twice monthly meetings where such business takes place. We don't have alot of direct contact with them unless a situation arises or one of us has NOT been reappointed! Our agenda doesn't include reappointment items--that is found on the city council's agenda--and I rarely attend those meetings! We worry about the need for cat ordianaces, pet shows and whatnot. But you have a valid query--but such are the politics of small town government...oh, and me taking minutes of the commission's meetings and not wondering about my reappointment is called 'no news is not changed news' because it wasn't on our agenda! And no, Animal Control in and of itself is very different. I was chair of the Bull Terrier Club's legislative group--our focus was fair dog laws. As a concerned pet owner with experience working with city councils who were recodifying their laws, I got more involved with West Branch's recodification process which involved a tremendous amount of education. In 2002, our chief animal control officer, the then police chief, shot a dog (in the dog's fenced yard)which he thought to be the dog at large in question. It wasn't and all hell broke loose over where our 4 yr old dog laws went wrong. West Branch was under scrutiny of the entire state, so our little group was formed at the-then mayor's request. Animal control per se is not something that I'm really involved in to a meaningful degree--the education of cities in regards to breed specific laws, especially as they pertain to my breed is what I'm better versed in. Other people do animal control, I don't I advise our animal control here as a hobby. I do apologise if I have misled you--you thought I was IN /wanted to be IN animal control and was a PART-TIME Iowa resident. Do you have any idea how many people in Iowa fit that more specific bill? We have 2 other 'Leesa's in West Branch alone! As soon as gallytrot/ter was mentioned, hey, that's me. Sorry for confusion. And as for the phone number, oh good god--319 is the area code--that's an Iowa landline area code. You call, someone picks it up---have a little faith--odds are it's eastern Iowa. Again, why would someone like me put in the added effort to hide my damned location? I mean after a while you just have to trust...if I didn't want to be tracked, I'd list my cell number! Call Liberty Telephone in West Liberty, Iowa--I've had the same landline since 1984--why would I reroute it? Believe me--if that number rings, it's ringing in Iowa. I again don't have a clue about a Dennis Radar--he was involved with animal control in Kansas? I have most contact with the Bull Terrier Club of America, the AKC club affiliate--names in our club I can trace and recognise. Our breed club hasn't had tremendous problems with Kansas, say opposed to Ohio...but individual names in different states/cities don't really matter with the involvment I've had with this situation. I honestly have no connection with Wichita--been there once driving through on a family vacation about 40 years back---just a coincidence. Again, why should I lie? I'm glad you found the Yearbook--that was such fun. My 'Elvis' was placed with Andy Hamen (a pretty famous wrestler fron U of Iowa) and his family had such fun with that puppy! They never showed him, but they did dress him up and printed tons of stationary-type things with his image. Palm Press bought that wonderful likeness and he was such a marvellous breed ambassador. So yeah, I wanted Jim to see MY life's proudest work--my 'Bad Moon', my 'Bat'...and yeah, I did flirt shamelessly. I'll never stop loving Jim...I'm glad you found that site--the Yearbook was a labour of love. As for my driver's license, I just rather not have that on the internet. If I'm so clever as to be rerouting landline phone numbers and whatnot, I could forge photos on a supposed license posted online. I don't want some numbers out there--actually, who cares how I look? What added proof is that? I think there might still be an old photo on the West Branch Government site--or e-mail any prominent sounding person on the BTCA's site and ask who/what I look like! I do still look much as I did on the Yearbook photo. But I did give you about as much proof as to who I am/not as I can. I've been honest and positive. I deny nothing that is true and have elaborated willingly as I have nothing to hide. I only get my back up when you accuse me of something I know nothing about. Don't know what else to do...
