\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All BRUU
\nmembers are invited to a PBS produced viewing of “OWL
\nPOWER”.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We start
\nat 11:30am and usually go until 1:00pm.\u00a0 Bring your lunch and
\nstuff. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The film
\nis 60 minutes long.\u00a0 We will start the film at 11:15am.
\nDon’t be late!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This way
\nwe can have some time for discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0For
\ncenturies, the mysterious nighttime lives and uncanny hunting
\nskills of owls\u00a0have made them fascinating hallmarks of folk tales
\nthe world over.\u00a0 BUT, what makes owls so special? \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lloyd and
\nRose Buck and their very special family of owls – Luna and Lily
\nprovide\u00a0a unique opportunity to learn more about these unique
\nbirds.\u00a0 Using the latest\u00a0in camera technology, computer
\ngraphics, x-rays and super sensitive microphones\u00a0we take a
\nbrand NEW look at owls in more detail than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These are
\nthe real stories behind how they hunt, how their vision and hearing
\nworks\u00a0and how they fly so silently which is influencing 21st
\ncentury technology and design.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Please come.\u00a0 This is an opportunity to gain
\nsanity and escape The Donald-for a bit.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

On Election Day (11\/07),
\nBrentsville Supervisor Jeanine Lawson – alongside several of her
\nsupporters – accosted Heidi and Evelyn BruMar’s daughter, Rose at
\nthe Limestone polling location.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Ms. Lawson’s supporters told Rose that her beliefs are \u201cliberal
\nbull****.\u201d Supervisor Lawson remarked, \u201cevery child should have a
\nmother and a father in a biblical way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rose is 15
\nyears old.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This conduct is completely inappropriate\u00a0for adults, let alone
\na sitting elected official in our county.<\/p>\n

Please join us as we speak out against Supervisor Lawson for her
\nbehavior at the next Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) meeting.
\nThe meeting starts a 7:30 PM on 11\/21 at the McCoart Building<\/span><\/a>,
