Pets of the Week
Meet Bud and Lou, a pair of playful little guys looking for a home. They are 7 weeks old and have been neutered. Bud and Lou are just a few of the animals ready for adoption at the Louisville Animal Shelter. The Shelter is currently over capacity with cats, kittens and large dogs. That means dogs like Goldie need to find a home. She's just one year old and has been spayed and ready for a new owner. For more information on these pets or other animals at the shelter, please call the Louisville Animal Shelter at 662-773-4320 or visit us on 110 Thompson St. Thank you 
Goldie

A contact person at the feeding station at the church is Starla McCarter and her cell # is 662-552-7827There are still many homes without power so ice is also welcome. They also need help putting tarps on houses and cleaning up!
Also, volunteers were to meet at Mathiston First Bapist Church beginning at 8 a.m. Friday morning to map out the clean-up process for Wood Jr. College so that our students from East Webster School will be able to attend school there on Tuesday, May 3.

LFD Joins "Power Those Who Protect Us" Program
CITY OF LOUISVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT JOINS “POWER THOSE WHO PROTECT US” PROGRAM TO BUILD GREATER AWARENESS FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS NEEDS
Duracell and the National Volunteer Fire Council Launch Battery Donation Program Nationwide
The City of Louisville Fire Department today joined forces with more than 23,000 other volunteer fire departments across the country in the Power Those Who Protect Us battery donation program created by Duracell, in partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council.
The program helps build greater awareness around the challenges volunteer firefighters face on a daily basis and the need to help support them. Most fire departments in the U.S. are staffed by volunteer firefighters who rely on approximately 20 percent of their funding to come from local fundraising and donations.*
The Power Those Who Protect Us battery donation program lets consumers give back to local volunteer firefighters, like those in Louisville and Winston County who devote countless hours of their free time to protecting our communities. When consumers purchase specially marked Copper Top battery packs, Duracell will make a battery donation to volunteer fire departments to help power communication devices and life-saving equipment. By going to www.duracell.com/protect, donations can also be earmarked to local departments by zip code.
“With the majority of fire departments in the U.S. being staffed by volunteer firefighters, many of which, like us, struggle to find the funding for basic equipment needs,” said Chief Terry Johnson. “We’re asking everyone to help make a difference and purchase specially marked Duracell batteries so our station can receive much needed support to power our communication devices. From personal alert system devices, thermal imaging cameras and personnel location equipment, to radios and flashlights – batteries help power these critical tools.”

Proper Home Addressing: A Safety Issue
a message from the Louisville Fire Dept.
Have you ever tried to find an address to meet with friends or attend a party or maybe you needed to drop off something important. What was the address? What’s the house number? I can’t see it …….Oh No, we passed it; now we've got to turn around…….
Sound Familiar?
Think of the mail carrier or the delivery driver trying to deliver a package to you……
You dial 911 for an emergency and the Fire Department, Emergency Medical Services, or Police Department are delayed because……… WE CAN’T FIND YOU!
Addressing your home and business is essential to ensure when you need us -we can find you. It is recommended by the International Code Council’s Public Safety Code that an address can be seen from the street and is highly visible. It is recommended that the addressing numbers contrast with the background and are reflective.
If you place the address near the street or on your mailbox, the numbers identifying your address should be on both sides of the sign or mailbox and a minimum of 4” (four inches) tall. This will allow for the address to be seen from at least 100 ft away.
When your address can be seen from the street it allows for better service from everyone you rely on.
