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.

Residents express frustration with lack of snow removal
By Robin Wilson At Weaverville’s Town Council
meeting Monday (Jan. 24), three residents living on Hickory Lane expressed their frustrations in the public comment portion of the meeting about the lack of snow re- moval on their road. Joan Moran, Harlon Hensley
and Chuck Chavaras all addressed the town council about their pri- vate drive not being plowed in the recent snow storms. Teir property was part of an involuntary annex into the city limits of Weaverville that occurred in 2010. During the first snow this win-
ter, their road was plowed but not any time after that. Larry Sprinkle, the town’s public works director, told them it was the town’s policy not to plow private roads and that they did not have authority on pri- vate roads. Te only service these residents

feel that has been provided with their additional tax money is trash pickup. Hensley suggested they could hire someone themselves to plow their road, and the town could reimburse them for that expense. Mayor Al Root told them he
would look into the matter, and they could follow up with him. In other news, the Firecracker
5-K Race organized by the North Buncombe Kiwanis Club every In- dependence Day, will once again be held in downtown Weaverville. Te race had been moved to North Buncombe High School the past two years because of the town’s budget cuts. Kiwanis Club members request-
ed that they be allowed to hold the race in Weaverville as they have done in the past. Te rough esti-
mate of the cost involved to have the police and fire department available for the event was about $2,000. Te council voted to have the race moved back into Weaver- ville as part of the Fourth of July celebration. Former mayor Bett Stroud
stepped down as chair of the Weav- erville Tree Board after 21 years on the job. Under her helm, the town received Tree City USA awards 20 straight years and 17 straight Tree City USA Growth awards. A report was given by Scott
Hughes with Johnson, Price and Sprinkle P.A. regarding the town’s audit. He reported that it was a clean audit. Te full financial audit is now available on the town’s web- site,
weavervillenc.org. An amendment to establish a
procedure for property owners who want to request an amendment for the zoning of their property was ac- cepted. Another amendment to clear
up confusion regarding ordinance violations was also discussed. Te current Code of Ordinance has inconsistencies about civil or crimi- nal penalty fines. Currently crimi- nal penalty fees collected go to the school system but civil penalty fees would go to the town. A public hearing is scheduled at
6:45 pm on Feb. 21 to address the issue. A motion was made to move
forward with the construction of sidewalks on Highland Street. Te town received favorable bids for this project, and the funds are available to begin building.

College Choral Festival was estab- lished in 1949 by the late J. Elwood Roberts as an effort to improve choral music in the high schools of Western North Carolina. While in the begin- ning the “clinic” was comprised of about 15 schools in the closely-sur- rounding area, this annual event has grown into one of the premiere choral festivals in North Carolina and, as far as is known, is the longest con- tinuously-running festival of its type in the region. Each year more than 800 students from approximately 100 high schools audition for the Festival

Choir. In the early years students were se-
lected by their directors to sing in the choral clinic. Quite often, a double quartet from each high school would participate. As the event continued to grow, reaching a size of 400 non- auditioned singers, it was decided that a better format would be to reduce the size to approximately 300 voices and have the singers audition at selected high school sites. Tis practice was put into effect for the clinic of 1970. Guest conductors have included some of the most prominent choral
musicians in the United States. Tis year’s conductor, Dr. Jonathan Reed, is professor of music and associate direc- tor of choral programs at the Michigan State University College of Music. J. Elwood Roberts came to Mars
Hill College in 1944. He served the music department in several capacities, most notably as an instructor in music theory. He also directed the choir at Mars Hill Baptist Church. For more information call 828-689-
