Man Gets Stuck In Schenectady Tree In Cat Rescue Attempt
A good samaritan got stuck in a Schenectady tree who was trying to rescue a cat who had been in the same tree for a week.
When I read this story, my first thought was this is totally something that would happen to me. I ve been known to accidentally knock over a ladder when working on my roof! So when I read about the good-hearted guy trying to rescue a cat 100 feet up in a tree then got stuck himself, I could kind of relate.
According to the Daily Gazette, the cat had actually been up in the tree for about a week when the samaritan made the first rescue attempt. He climbed the tree using spike shoes and caught 60 feet up in the tree when a rope he was using fell to the ground. He was eventually rescued by firefighters, but one problem remained: the cat was still another 20 to 40 feet up and the fire equipment could not get that high in the tree.
Take A Trip Back In History With The Pettis County Museum
The Pettis County Museum has been closed for a while, naturally. A lot of things have been closed the last year and half or so. But now, they re ready to re-open with an Open House. It ll be going on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Museum, which is at 228 Dundee Avenue. It s kinda behind the new location of Little Big Horn. You ll know it when you see it.
Anyway, you can stop by and see some awesome exhibits, but you can also get interactive. Becky Imhauser (you know, the local Sedalia history expert) will be there to portray Clemence Kahn, who was the founder of the Pettis County Red Cross. She was also a local Jewish community leader! I bet you could pick her brain on how a lot of things used to be back in the day.

With a spirit of optimism beginning to envelop us all, what with the slow ending of the pandemic of 2020, I ve turned my focus to resuscitating projects left for dead in wake of the pandemic. There are a fair number of properties that are now up for sale or lease around Kalamazoo, having been left for dead. Maybe the highest profile of which is the former Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, (most recently operating as the AMC Movie cineplex).
