FOOLER THE Cat is healing nicely from injuries he suffered a few weeks ago when he was attacked by another cat. Most of the fur has grown back on the left side of his head so he doesn’t look so lopsided. All the phone calls and other inquiries as to the state of Fooler’s well-being are greatly appreciated. His disposition is healing a bit slower than his wounds. Just this week he stopped growling at the rag doll that lives in the bedroom, and he has started sleeping on the settee instead of under it.

North Webster Town Board is not the town council

By MITCHELL STINSON Staff Writer

The North Webster Town Board announced last Wednesday that it will never meet again, thanks to recent state legislation. There hasn’t been a change in town government, however. Myron Clark, Kay Andrews, Peg Lawrance and Ken Wagner will still attend their monthly meetings at the North Webster Town Hall. Only now they will be called the North Webster Town Council. The state bill was designed to help avoid confusion between town board trustees and township trustees. The town board trustees will now be called council members. Council president Clark announced that there have been some irregularities reported on the town’s new map, which was developed in anticipation of a “911” system. Most of the addresses on the map are correct but a few appear to be wrong. Council members agreed that it would save a lot of trouble down the line if they corrected the errors soon. Speaking on behalf of the Webster Lake Ski Bees, Chuck McLaughlin was given permission to hold a recycling day fundraiser in North Webster. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept 2. Aluminum cans and batteries will be collected at drop points, and no glass or newspapers will be accepted. Park Board President Howard Ziegler announced that a Family Park Day will be held at the city park from 11 a m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9. He said the board is hoping to have Dixie boat rides and drawings for prizes.

New Shelter Ziegler attended the council meeting sporting pictures of recent city park projects. He also distributed a press release regarding the ongoing construction of a new 1,200 square-foot pavilion at the park. The park board is trying to raise $2,500 to complete the project. In the summer of 1990, the board plans to use the pavilion for special nights of entertainment such as music, puppet shows, singing groups and magic shows. The main purpose of the pavilion, however, will be for the comfort of community members as they picnic, swim, ride the Dixie boat, eat meals at the waterfront and just enjoy the park atmosphere in general. “While the enthusiasm for completing the project is there we would like to complete it by Labor Day,” Ziegler said. Car repairs Testers for Consumers Union recently compared prices for the repair or replacement of car mufflers and brakes and found that the big chains, which claim to be the best, are often not. For both repairs, it was the independent garage which most often satisfied customers. Big chain outlets often charge more than advertised prices —a third of those questioned complained on this point.
