Area Varmints Take Notice!

    

     The red squirrel menace has begun to be dealt with in the greater Hubbard County area.  Resident Jamie Miller has successfully lobbied the Hubbard County Board to modify their rodent policy.  For years, the county offered residents a .25 cent bounty for gopher, red squirrel and other destructive rodents.
     "Mrs. Miller began to contact us last winter to discuss this policy.  I thought she was going to press for removing the bounty policy.  Turns out she wanted the bounty increased" said Board member Tom Winters.
      "I got them up to $1 a piece..." Miller said slowly raising her riffle towards a White Oak tree just outside her kitchen window.
