As I’ve learned from my own experiences in the classroom both as a student and as an instructor, poetry is so often taught badly to us in grade school (if at all).

Payson wins because its officers no longer have to say no to people who just want that dog to stop barking.
And Gila County doesnât have to dispatch an animal control officer from Globe â most often after hours and on weekends.
