The white cat shown in this picture is a declawed, most likely escaped house cat. He has been hanging out in the vicinity of Grand & Pierce Streets the last few days. He is also getting skinnier and is showing wounds from fights. Is this your cat, or do you know whose it is? We would love to see this cat reunited with his family. For more info call 639-0008.

The storm activity last weekend threatened the annual "Kites Over Branch County" event. But the weather cleared up Saturday afternoon and it was a good day to fly kites - at least the non-stunt ones.

Clean-up continues in northwest Coldwater (third ward) from a severe thunderstorm last Friday evening. I toured the area on Saturday and created a large photo album of the aftermath; click here to view it.

St. Paul Lutheran Church held a "Neighborfest" on Saturday, a free event open to the entire community with music, games, food, and even bounce houses. And yes, I made another photo album - click here to view it.

The 2010 Relay for Life of Branch County was a great success - it raised $105,685.16 for research and programs of the American Cancer Society. Click here to view photos from the event.
