Huntsville Insider Info

Friday July 4, 2008
Here's what I learned in Huntsville this week:
  • The family of the late Jerome “Buddy” Cooper has preserved forever 23 acres in the Mentone area – including about ¼ mile of riverfront on The Little River West Fork – by donating the land to The Land Trust of Huntsville & North Alabama. Buddy Cooper had a long distinguished career as a labor and civil rights lawyer. The Land Trust is dedicated to the preservation of natural lands for public enjoyment and prosperity in ten counties of North Alabama and, since 1987, has protected and maintains over 5,100 acres and has created 33+ miles of public trails on three land preserves – each larger than Central Park and all within Huntsville city limits.

    This week Huntsville Animal Services is featuring "Cindy" as their Cat of the Week. Cindy is a domestic short-haired cat and is about 13 weeks old. Cindy is litterbox trained and is up-to-date on her shots. She is actually kind of calm for a kitten. She has that classic purr that is so sweet. Cindy gets along great with all the other kittens just great. Stop by to meet her and any of the other 20 kittens that Huntsville Animal Services have available for adoption.
