\"\" Remember Romolo Versaci<\/a><\/em>, the Schenectady lawyer suing an unemployed widow-mother <\/span>
\nfor referring to him as a “so-called attorney” on a local website? [see <\/span>our story<\/span><\/a>] I was <\/span>
\nwondering just this weekend whether he had dropped his $100,000 defamation suit. Well, <\/span>
\nthis morning, Pat Zollinger, the Administrator of the local talkboard website, where the <\/span>
\ncomment was made <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> “Well it happened. I’ve been subpoenaed to appear for <\/span>
\nthis lawsuit in March.” [reply 38] How Romolo’s reputation doing so far?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"tiny Local Watchdogs Save Stray Dogs<\/em>: We <\/span>complained<\/span><\/a> on Saturday about the cynical \"dog2\" <\/em><\/span>
\nTown Supervisor who changed the Guilderland (NY) Pet Shelter from a “no kill” to a “kill” <\/span>
\nfacility right after volunteers finished a $100,000 donation drive to renovate the Shelter. <\/span>
\nI’m pleased to say that dozens of residents went out on a near-zero night yesterday and <\/span>
\n“after much public outcry, the town supervisor and board members of the Guilderhaven Pet <\/span>
\nShelter have come to a new agreement. … Supervisor Kenneth Runion said, ‘It gives the dogs <\/span>
\nthe training they need to become good household pets, and it ensures if they can’t be made <\/span>
\ngood family household pets, they’ll be put somewhere that is safe’.” <\/span>Thanks to those who <\/span>
\ncared enough to take action. (“New policy for local animal shelter<\/span><\/a>,” Capital News 9, 1\/19\/05) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
