United Paws’ Kittens of the Week: Sully and Simon

Submitted By: website@unitedpaws.org – Click to email about this post
Meet Sully and Simon, United Paws’ Kittens of the Week. These brothers were abandoned, rescued by United Paws, and fostered in a loving home. 

Simon and Sully will fit beautifully in a home with children or other pets.  They have no hesitation playing with the foster’s small dog and children. Although they are curious and unafraid, they know when to back off if an older cat or dog is not in the mood for play. 

These two love to play, chase, jump, and climb towers.  Their world is filled with curious objects and they consider everything a toy! A box, a string, or balls of paper will entertain Simon and Sully for hours. 

Right now, Simon and Sully have two speeds: stop and go, but they are learning to snuggle with their humans. These kittens will bring love, entertainment and fun to a family of their own, and they are ready to find a loving home.

To learn more, please visit unitedpaws.org or call 503-842-5663/email unitedpawsapps@gmail.com.

Elections

Submitted By: Keeks54@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy – but they require investment. In 2020, Congress appropriated $825 million to help states run secure, accessible elections. For 2025, that number has dropped to just $15 million – or less than $300,000 per state. That’s not enough to ensure safe, reliable, and equitable elections for millions of voters.

Across the country, local election officials are being asked to do more with less. They’re facing a perfect storm of challenges: Aging infrastructure, including decades-old voting machines, shortages of trained poll workers, disinformation and declining public trust, cybersecurity threats, physical threats to election workers, and new restrictive laws that make election administration more complex and costly.

At the same time, restrictions on third-party support and the elimination of key federal resources, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) election security programs, have left many local offices with fewer tools than ever. This funding gap creates deep inequities. Wealthier communities can often fund election upgrades through local revenue. But rural areas and lower-income jurisdictions are left behind – making our elections less accessible and less secure.

Election funding has historically enjoyed bipartisan support, and recent polling shows that nearly 70% of Americans believe the federal government should play a stronger role in election funding. This is not a partisan issue – it’s about safeguarding our democracy and ensuring that every American can vote without barriers.
I urge you to contact your members of Congress and ask them to support restoring election security grants to at least $825 million for FY26 and commit to consistent federal investment in the years to come.

Thank you for your attention to this vital issue.

It’s time for another Heart of Cartm Repair Cafe this Saturday, August 16th, 3:00-5:00pm

Do you have a beloved item that needs a little TLC?

Want to learn from the experts how to take something apart, diagnose it’s “illness” and bring it back to life?

Are you interested in keeping your things out of the landfill and thumbing your nose at supply chain delays?

Come to the Repair Cafe at the Heart of Cartm Workshop (next to the store)!

This month we have expert fixers who specialize in crocheting, jewelry repair and sewing projects along with our usual lamp and appliance fixers, so take a look in your basements, garages and dark corners, find something that needs fixing and join us!

RSVP here www.heartofcartm.org/repaircafe so we know what kind of riveting repair we are getting into.

Repair Café at Heart of Cartm serves as a hub for individuals who value sustainability, creativity, and community engagement. The Repair Café isn’t just about fixing broken items; it’s about sharing knowledge and skills, too. When you bring your broken toaster or worn-out work pants to our workshop, you have the opportunity to learn how to repair items yourself, with guidance from our skilled volunteers.

If you can’t make it to Repair Cafe this Saturday, come by the store to see what kind of treasures are waiting for you. We are open Thursday – Monday, Noon-6pm.
