Multiple snow storms bury North Buncombe


By Matt Tate Old Man Winter did not wait


long to make his presence known in 2011. A massive snow storm moved into


the area late Sunday (Jan. 9) and early Monday (Jan. 10), blanketing North Buncombe with a half-foot of snow or more in most areas. Tat storm was sandwiched be-


tween a system that dumped several inches Friday (Jan. 7) and another on Wednesday (Jan. 12) that covered freshly plowed roads with a smatter- ing of frozen precipitation. School schedules were again dis-


rupted. Including Monday, Tuesday (Jan. 11) and Wednesday, the North Buncombe district of schools has missed 10 days. Buncombe County Schools announced several changes to the school calendar in order to accommodate days missed due to inclement weather, and the need to shift the end of the semester, includ- ing the high school exam period, tentatively scheduled for Jan. 20-21. Optional teacher workdays on


Feb. 14 and March 3 are now regu- lar instructional days for students, Friday (Jan. 14) will be a regular instructional day provided schools can operate, North Buncombe stu-

puppies and kittens into our families. Along with the fun of having a new pet, comes the responsibility of keeping them healthy. Puppies and kittens need vaccinations, deworming, screening tests, heartworm and flea preventatives, and spaying or neutering. Parvovirus, panleukopenia, respiratory infections, and intestinal parasites can be poten- tially devastating problems in young animals. Since every pet is different, call your veterinarian to discuss their recommendations for your new furry family member.
