SOME RELIEF
Jerry Clower (1926 – 1998) was a Mississippi storyteller whose most famous story involved some raccoon hunters. According to Jerry he and some friends treed what they thought was a raccoon but it turned out to be a lynx. The lynx was not amused when Jerry’s friend climbed the tree and poked the perturbed cat with a stick. When the lynx counter-attacked with teeth and claws Jerry’s friend called for the men on the ground to fire a gun up at the fighting twosome. Jerry told his friend they couldn’t shoot because they might hit the friend. The man yelled back, “Shoot anyway, one of us has to have some relief.â€
I thought of this homespun wisdom when Peg and I noticed our only peach tree was devoid of every one of the large succulent peaches we had planned to pick this coming weekend. A whole family of raccoons gorged themselves on the golden delights I had saved from the Japanese Beetles, the crows and the opossums. Fifty dollars worth of Savin and two hours of work had been invested in saving those peaches until the perfect moment. Apparently the raccoons did not allow the good to be the victim of the perfect. Four days earlier than perfection was quite satisfactory for them.
I was so angry I called my friend Paul Axton, a Department of Natural Resources officer, and asked for help. He brought me a live trap and advised the best bait for raccoons is large marshmallows. I would have made Smores for the little devils if I thought it would help.
After about an hour of examining the trap and calling upon my college physics classes to figure how to set it, I proudly placed the trap on our front porch with large white marshmallows prominently displayed. After furnishing free marshmallows to the whole raccoon family for a week, I finally caught something last night, our cat. He was not pleased.
It only cost me a couple of Band-Aids and a bottle of rubbing alcohol to treat the cat’s revenge for a night spent in the cage. As for the raccoons, I hope there is some kind of special diabetes they get from overstuffing themselves on our peaches!

Specialty Pet Grooming Is A Cut Above The Rest
Specialty Pet Grooming Is A Cut Above The Rest
by Bryan Fox
When you google Evansville pet grooming, a number of establishments will pull up in that search request. While all of these businesses will advertise they are the best in town, Specialty Pet Grooming offers not only grooming services, but they also offer daycare and boarding for pets as well.
Located on the corner of Hwy 41 and Lincoln, Specialty Pet Grooming will give your pets special attention when you take your dogs/cats in for a grooming or just want to drop your pets off for the day while you’re at work. Their pet daycare hours are from 6:30 am to 6 pm Monday thru Friday which is during regular business hours. Thus, you will not have to worry about being late to work in the morning or late picking up your pets after work. There are 2 people on staff during these hours who work in the doggy daycare. There are also 2 employees who have the responsibility of bathing the dogs.
Specialty Pet Grooming’s owner, Jamie Hubiak, is living out her dream. “I’ve been wanting to do this my whole life,” Hubiak says.   Hubiak has been a certified pet groomer since 2012. She attended the Animal Arts Academy in Carmel where she obtained her certification. Her love of animals along with her entrepreneurial spirit is what helped the business develop. Hubiak started grooming at home until she eventually had to add space and staff for her rising business.
Laurel Hinten takes her dogs into Specialty Pet Grooming regularly for a haircut. “Jamie is a high quality groomer who cares for all the animals she works with. You know when you leave your pets with her, she will treat them like one of her own.” Hinten says.
