With quarantine protocols still in effect, it wasn't simple for area children to Trick-or-Treat this year. Neither is it simple to merely drop by the animal shelter to adopt a dog or cat. On Friday afternoon, Florence-Lauderdale Animal Services held a major event that helped remedy both situations - the drive-by pet parade.
One would think that the mayor elect and the District 5 council representative would have at least put in an appearance. Those who have contacted us have said neither one was there. No Handy Dandy Andy Betterton or Blake Edwards (the shelter is located in District 5). The event wasn't over until 6:00 p.m., so work shouldn't have been an excuse.
No, simply not caring about the shelter is the true reason that some didn't bother to attend. How sad. Now don't act surprised when Handy Dandy Andy tells the city that he's cutting funds to the shelter - especially if you voted for him.
