Public Asked To Participate In
Monday’s Animal Control Meeting
CLIFTON — Citizens who are
interested in helping to review and
redesign Clifton’s animal control
program are encouraged to a
meeting on Monday, Oct 28, at 6:30
p.m., in Council Chambers at City
Hall
Clifton Mayor W Leon Smith,
who at a recent city council meet-
ing offered the possibility of estab-
lishing a shelter for these animals,
asks that anyone in the area who
is interested in helping “please
show up.”
“We need ideas on what to do
and how to go about it,” he said.
“We also need people who care
about animals to help, so that this
program is a success. It is a com
wunity problem and needs a com-
munity answer”
Smith contends that with an
adequate shelter, the lives of or
phaned animals will be improved,
plus the number of animals put to
death can perhaps be reduced or
virtually eliminated “I see this as
very much a ‘no kill' facility,” he
said.
“We are creating a task force,
that is still being formed,” the
mayor explained. “Everyone who
loves animals is welcome to sit on
this task force. It will become as
big as hearts of our citizens.”
“People are already calling City
Hall, asking to be on it,” he said,
“and I hope plenty of concerned
citizens snow up at the meeting,

High School’s band was the only
one to walk away with a Div. I rat-
ing. A majority of the bands per
forming at Burleson High School
Stadium received Div. II ratings,
while two took a Div. Ill and one a
Div. IV.
“And it was straight ones. No-
body else even got that close,”
beamed first-year CHS Band Di-
rector Keith Zuehlke.
Under the leadership of Zue-
hlke and Assistant Director Bryan
Bronstad, with Director Angie
Zuehlke in charge of the flag
corps, the crew performed their
show consisting of “Crazy,”
“Margaritaville,” “Rocky Top,”
and “Blue Bayou.”
“Our kids have fulfilled our ex-
pectations and then some,” said
Zuehlke of the band’s perfor-
mance, not just Saturday, but all
year long.
Zuehlke said that the youth of
this year’s band was a concern,
but the musicians stepped up and
performed very well.
“We’re a very young band,” said
Zuehlke. Of the 80 kids they took
to Regionals last weekend, some
three dozen were freshmen.
“That’s a good mix, and they
played very well Saturday, espe
dally for such a young band.”

Following the presentation of
awards, Dr. Pierce address the
school’s funding program and ex-
plained to the trustees, “The more
you raise taxes, the less they have
to give you.”
Dr. Pierce said that schools are
funded by three entities; the state,
federal, and local funding. He ex-
plained that federal funding only
amounts to about 10-percent of a
school’s funding, and that it can
only be spent on certain things.
“Each school must determine
its revenues including the funding
from the state on the numbers and
kinds of students; the local tax
