Missing cat found. But no head.
I know the chief has asked me before not to post to the Town Announcements, but it's been a very long night and my phone is finally working again and I think you need to know that I found a cat.
I found it sometime after midnight last night, I'm not sure because I don't wear a watch and my phone had died.
It seems to be missing its head.
I looked for it, I did, and let me tell you that was terrible, looking for a cat head in the middle of the night when your phone doesn't work and you've already found the rest of the cat. I don't ever need to do that again. Also putting the cat body in a bag. Never again, I hope. Lots of hand sanitizer once I finally found my squad car, which took all night.
Also, it's Father's Day, which now the chief has us all on duty for even though I worked a double yesterday specifically to have today off. But he said you found it Ronny, you deal with it. I asked him not to call me that. This is your life, I guess.
Anyway, trying to determine owner. Please have patience.

Community Notes
I want to talk to you today, my fellow citizens, of tragedy.
There is a story we tell ourselves about who are and what this town is capable of. I think you know exactly what I’m talking about: the fire of 1921 which destroyed the Town Hall and led to the death of several town councilmen and the Mayor’s innocent nephew who happened to be visiting that day.
Few tragedies have wounded our community more than that single event. And yet, did the town not find a way to march on together, to rebuild, to prosper anew? Of course it did. Because that is who we are: ingenious, resilient, hard-working.
Now some critics might point out, didn’t the newly-rebuilt Town Hall burn down again in 1934? Yes. But out of tragedy comes the possibility of growth and change. There is no avoiding it. All we can do is face it together.
Now some of us are upset today about the gruesome details surrounding the death of one single, possibly unpopular, cat. Is the death of one cat sad? Presumably, for some. For others? Maybe. Was this particular cat missing its head? Ask yourself what kind of person needs to know this. Do not be that person.
I, for one, am not concerned by this unfortunate turn of events, because I have faced tragedy in my personal life multiple times and this time, like those many times before, I choose to see tragedy as an opportunity. I hope you all do as well.
Mayor Elizabeth Zisk

Did You Know?
The Question Mark Town Hall was built in 1908 and rebuilt in both 1921 and 1934, after a fire decimated the building twice. Thankfully, there were very few deaths and, after the second fire, the Question Mark Fire Department was founded.
