Stormy Hope City Council stalls new dog tax ordinance
In a stormy session the Hope city council failed to finalize a new dog ordinance hours after adopting the existing law for licensing vaccination and a $2 50 annual fee. Alderman Garner pressed repeal as heated sparring broke out over the measure. A later session will draft a revised ordinance while the current one remains in effect. The council also moved to permit Babbling Brook dairy to continue pasteurized milk sales and to tighten meat license collection with semi annual payments proposed by Alderman Williams, with February 15 set as the next meeting date.

History parallels Finland's victories over Mighty Russia
Historian Willis Thornton draws a parallel between ancient Greek resistance at Thermopylae and Finnish defense against Soviet forces. He likens Miltiades and Leonidas to Mannerheim, noting narrow terrain and brave small forces delaying large invasions. The piece frames Finland as a modern epic underdog in a long tradition of David-versus-Goliath battles.
