FREE WHITEWATER

Daily Bread for 8.8.11

Good morning.

It’s a rainy day with a high temperature of eighty-one ahead for Whitewater.

In Whitewater at 6 p.m. tonight, the Planning Commission meets at the municipal building.  The meeting agenda is available online.

On this day in 1974, President Nixon announced his resignation, effective noon the next day.

A controversial company in Indonesia has helped relocate a seven-year old Sumatran tiger (now named Putri), apparently a victim of a declining habitat:

Asia Pulp & Paper, a company whose logging practices on Sumatra recently caused Lego to stop using its products, and which is alleged by environmental organization Greenpeace to have driven Putri from her home in the first place, helped fund the relocation.

Unfortunate that the rare tiger had to be moved, but better than the alternative.
