gas for customers who are not
long term patrons of the station

local Circle K ran out of gas he
has had more customers and
also some from another service

Ranch . . .
Cont’d from Page 1
sanctuary Mrs Haskett said a
great number of these were
donated when as Faster pets
they became too large for the
back yard and for various other
reasons She said they recently
discovered a family of seven
ducks which had been turned
loose on the ranch by someone.
There are now more that 50
chickens, where they began
with three of their own. The
goat herd has enlarged from
three to 11, five of these were
donations.
In the wildlife category, the
deer have increased to four, the
ranch has produced one fawn,
and the pond boasts of its own
red head duck which has
recovered from a hunters shot
which damaged its wing
Mrs. Haskett has a game
breeder’s license which allows
her to keep wild animals
otherwise forbidden by State
law to be owned or kept She
also holds a migratory b ird
permit which enables her to
care for migratory birds which
are found to be sick or injured.
In her caring for injured birds
she has had snow geese, coutes,
male and female red heads,
numerous varities of sea gulls,
great blue herrons, auspreys,
and numerous varieties of
doves. She is presently caring
for two owls about six weeks old
that were left homeless when
the mother was killed
The Hasketts ask that if a
person has a bird or animal that
he doesn't want that fits into
their ranch style that he contact
them and they will give it a
place on the preserve.
