Taser the Bloodhound on the trail at Columbia's National Night Out
Owner Robert Hetter attaches a harness to Taser the bloodhound at the start of a tracking demo.
After allowing Taser to smell an article of clothing of a "missing girl," they're off and running.
Within a minute or so, Taser has found the "missing girl." His reward is a can of cat food.
Yes, cat food! That's not a misprint.
Go HERE to see a video of Taser in action.

Another river rescue
Several rescue units responded to an incident Sunday morning involving a kayaker who went missing for a brief time on the Susquehanna River near Columbia River Park. He and his wife had been in their kayaks when he became separated from her. He was later found downriver by rescue personnel, offshore from Manor Township. He and his wife were reunited on shore at River Park after he was rescued.
Fortunately, this story had a happy ending.
Go HERE for more information.

What did I hear/see?
Yesterday morning, right after 11 o'clock, it sounded like several large planes thundered over my house, heading south. The house shook. By the time I got to the window, all I could see was a plane in the distance, trailing exhaust, as it flew low over the Susquehanna. I don't think it was an airliner. I wonder if it was a C-130 on its way to Dover Air Force Base, in response to the latest terrorism alert.
