Tinsel and Strings Holiday Concert in Ottawa
The Ottawa Suzuki Strings perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Ottawa Municipal Auditorium with tickets 6 in advance at local arts and bookstore outlets and 10 at the door. Separately, the Ben Martin Peck Animal Shelter received a 1000 grant from Wal Mart to fund shelter software as it seeks another 10000 toward a new expanded shelter. In Topeka, Kansas, minors’ cigarette access prompts calls for stricter enforcement as compliance dropped to 62 percent in 2004, affecting federal grants and a 53 million state revenue expectation from tobacco settlement funds.
