Local
artist begins new endeavor
Bill
Lester, professor of art at Delta State University,
has combined his artistic talents and his
eye for detail to create duck and turkey calls
that are as beautiful as they are functional.
"I began making calls several years ago
for myself and a few friends," says Lester.
Today, having mastered the art, Lester is
making truly original calls that will last
a lifetime. The calls, which are made of acrylic
with brass trim, are hand-turned and hand
polished. In addition, each call is tuned
on the banks of the Sunflower River. For more
information on Bill Lester's duck and turkey
calls, please contact him at the DSU Art Department
(846-4720) or at his studio (756-2996).

/Bolivar County Animal Shelter hosts Rabies Clinic
Sponsored by the Bolivar
County Health Department, the 5th Annual Rabies Clinic
is scheduled for November 2, at the Bolivar County
Animal Shelter. The Rabies Clinic provides rabies
vaccinations to your pets for only $5 and provides
a 20% discount for multiple animals. Director of the
Bolivar County Shelter, Sherri Norquist, says, "We
began the clinic because of the need for affordable
vaccinations to help prevent rabies, especially for
multiple animal households." In Addition, Dr. Rich
Weatherly, of the Animal Medical Clinic, volunteers
his time to help vaccinate the animals, and all proceeds
from the Clinic go to the Bolivar County Animal Shelter.
As always, there are plenty of potential "friends"
to be made at the Shelter
