World War II veteran Dave Armstrong turned 100 years old last Monday, and the local living legend was treated with a Zoom birthday party with several of his closest friends to celebrate the occasion.

“To distract from the guarded corridor, Ink Prayer raiders track and harass unethical sportsmen caught in the act of poaching.
