Rocky and Lila are
Cindy s Underdogs of the week and require an experienced dog owner that understands Huskies. They must go to a home with a fenced-in yard as they are escape artists!
Hillary Snogles-Dunn for Stevens-Swan Humane Society
Rocky is a 77 lb 6-year-old male (Black / White), and Lila is a 2-year-old 58 lb female (Red/White). They are highly prey driven and cannot live with other animals. Due to their previous history, they don t recommend them for homes with children. Stevens-Swan Humane Society says:
They have been friendly with us but they are escape artists, they need a home where they will be secured in their yard when outdoors so they don t bother neighborhood animals.
“Christmas in the Valley” Song Turns 30
Hard to believe A favorite CNY Christmas hit is 30 years old!
In November of 1991, local celebrities, musicians, and their family and friends flocked to Acqrok Studios on Genessee Street in Utica to record a Christmas song to benefit the Stevens-Swan Humane Society.
Some of the local musicians who participated in the song’s chorus include Jon Liebing, Mark Bolos, Paul Angerosa, Al Galime, Jim Kelly, Dan Budzynski, Jim Palitti, Dare Riegler, and Paul Case.
“Christmas in the Valley” was written by Mark Werchowski and is still played on local radio stations every holiday season. The tune is a favorite as it reflects on the beauty of The Mohawk Valley during the holidays.
