The animal had part of its tail missing and was estimated to be 28 to 25 years old.

Community Policing Workshop Aims to Bridge Gap
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office hosted a two day community policing workshop led by the Community Policing Consortium. Consultants Dr William E Hyman and James Melvey described the program as two pronged with sensitivity training and technical assistance focusing on cultural diversity and community collaboration. The effort seeks to erase stereotypes and promote a multi cultural understanding while guiding officers personal motives and commitments to the community. Police forces nationwide have adopted the program since it began in 1994 with over 1 000 participants. 30 to 40 more cities are expected to join by June.
