An article that was published in the editorial column of today's newspaper.

I have been an active member of the local police force for many years, and I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like the epidemic that has taken shape over the past few weeks. The reports of dogs (both tame and wild) that appear to be infected with some unmentionable disease are increasing. The number of reported attacks and acts of vandalism are also increasing at an incredible rate. In light of these events, I am going to start a group of volunteers to help protect our community and aid the police force. For all those who are interested, please call me at 207.646.4909.

Officer Walter R. R. Shrock
