He proclaimed that a building is like a woman: "high maintenance." He seems to see his job as waiting around and voting as he's told to vote. His most memorable comment was during the debate on moving City Hall to One Technology Center. Boggs spoke of taking up Mautino's effort to get an audit of the city's public works department, to investigate the way the department does business and how that may be hindering the most efficient use of our tax dollars to maintain our public infrastructure.Īs I mentioned in my column this week, Troyer hasn't done much more than keep the seat warm. Replacing the incumbent, Dennis Troyer, with Kevin Boggs would replace someone willing to acquiesce in any tax increase with someone who will oppose tax increases and work for accountability in government. Boggs gave a good interview - unfortunately it doesn't seem to be up on the KFAQ podcast website. Kevin Boggs, the Republican nominee for Tulsa City Council District 6, was on 1170 KFAQ this morning, accompanied by former District 6 Councilor Jim Mautino (the only real representation District 6 has ever had).

It was great fun to watch these talented dogs and their handlers zip around the course. We watched as the dogs positioned themselves in a hexagon around a group of sheep and herded them into a pen. Neil Ross, a champion herder, controlled six dogs with a combination of whistles and spoken commands. Way back in 1994, my wife and I were in Scotland on vacation and saw a border collie demonstration at Leault Farm near Kincraig, Inverness-shire. Here are the results from the final day of competition, with photos and links to diagrams of the courses.) Border collies are one of the smartest breeds, as well as being fast and agile.
(A papillon won the 8" class, and a shetland shepherd was the 12" champ. It wasn't surprising that of the six size classes (8", 12", 16", 20", 24", 26"), the four top classes were won by border collies. I had expected to see so many penalty seconds added to a dog's time, but that didn't seem to be the way it worked. (I never did get a clear understanding of the rules and the penalties. Going across the wrong obstacle or hesitating to jump the right one resulted in a disqualifying penalty. It was impressive to watch the dogs navigate a difficult course, but I was just as impressed by the trainers, who had to reposition themselves and give hand and voice signals so that after every obstacle the dog knew exactly where to go next. Admission was free, and the event drew big crowds. Saturday and Sunday afternoon our family spent some time at the American Kennel Club Agility Nationals, held in the Ford Truck Barn at Expo Square.
