Despite the heat the Newton Community High School Varsity football team practiced hard and often.
The Newton Press-Mentor got to enjoy some unique visitors last week. They were Tobi (female), 9 weeks, and Roscoe P. Coltrane, 2 years old. They are Java Mcaque primates, who stopped by with their owner, Shirley and Jerry Novak of Noble, to talk about how the primates can be used to help people with disabilities and S.A.R.A. Tobi and Roscoe are American born. No animals are brought to the U.S. from a foreign country.
S.A.R.A. (Service Animals Registry of America) promotes the use of service animals by the disabled. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. The term is used in 36.302(c), which required public accommodations generally to modify policies, practices, and procedures to accommodate the use of service animals in places or public accommodation.
And the walls came tumbling down. Demolition and clean-up began today (Monday) on two apartment buildings at 906 and 908 West Washington Street.
