There is a missing African Gray parrot flying around in this area. A couple from the Bay Area were camping at the Horseshoe Recreation area on Orange Blossom Road and the parrot escaped. They stayed a few days to try and find it but no luck. It is 12 inches tall, gray with a red tail. The parrot talks and imitates kitchen appliances. His name is Bird. Call your reporter at 881-3314 if you see or hear it.

At the Knights Ferry Community Club meeting last Thursday, all enjoyed the lovely desserts before the meeting. The movie night was discussed. This month it will still be on the second Tuesday but with school starting it will have to change. At this August movie night they will poll the crowd to see if a Friday or Saturday night would be better. Also discussed were the broken steps in the Plaza. The Masons will fix them. Miles Shuper talked on the car show plans for April 5, 2014. It will be called the Knights Ferry Classic. All in attendance were encouraged to come to the August 22 MAC meeting to hear the plans on a dam failure. The next meeting will be a dinner meeting on September 5.
