Pets of the Week: Meet Titan and Sangha
The Gaston Gazette
Titan (tag 46612140): I m a very friendly 2-year-old male terrier mix who loves people. I m the perfect size at 49 pounds. I have a lot of energy but I do know how to calm down and wait patiently for a treat. With a little patience, you can teach me to walk well on the leash. Since I m cooped up in a kennel most of the day here at the shelter, I m naturally excited to get to go outdoors. I hope I can find a family to keep me busy and take me on adventures.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Economic development was the star of the show during Monday’s Albuquerque City Council meeting, with most of the votes centering on large projects that sailed through without dissent.
“This is a great agenda,” Councilor Diane Gibson remarked at one point. “I wish we had agendas like this every single meeting.”
El Encanto better known to most of us as the tortilla-making, chile-processing Bueno Foods had two pieces of business on the agenda. The council approved both: $10 million in tax-exempt, city industrial revenue bonds and the city’s management of Bueno’s state-funded $500,000 Local Economic Development Act grant.

Gaston County Police Department’s administrator of Animal Care and Enforcement resigned last month after six years in the position.
Dr. Kristine Blankenship, a licensed veterinarian for more than two decades, began her role with Gaston County on Jan. 5, 2015. She resigned on March 5, 2021, according to county records, upon starting a new position elsewhere, according to Gaston County Manager Kim Eagle.
Blankenship, a former instructor at Gaston College’s Veterinary Technology program, earned a salary of $97,924 when she left the county.
As administrator, Blankenship was responsible for managing operations at the county animal shelter, where dogs and cats are available for adoption. She managed nine employees directly, including the shelter s supervisor, Tyler Moore, who also supervises a staff of nine.
