"We will than continue a three-lane highway to (U.S.) 231 (Lebanon Highway) to provide access to that side of town. The speedway has worked closely with the state to donate almost 150 acres of property for us to build these roads.

Wre anticipate the new interchange and highway will cost $15 million to $20 million, but we think the return we'll get will go a long way toward paying that off quickly." lion in indirect business tax revenues. Tennessee Department of Tourism Commissioner John Wade told the crowd assembled for the groundbreaking that tourist-related dollars will be substantial once the facility is up and running, with $20 million in lodging and $90 million in food services annually Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Bruce Saltzman outlined the highway projects being earmarked for the speedway. "We'll be constructing a new single-point diamond interchange off and neutered," she said However, according to Beesley's agreement with the county, a voucher system is essentially what Beesley has. "Appointments for spayneuter will be made by the adoptee with the Beesley SpayNeuter Clinic (located next door to the county animal shelter) the agreement reads.

"When the animal reaches the age of at least 3 months, or has been in their adopted home for a period of two weeks, the appointment must be made." Morton said that relationship has been a good one. "It's always been that when you adopt an animal, shelter employees walk you over with $32, they keep $14, and they walk over and go ahead and make an appointment right then," she said, While admitting that Beesley is sometimes back-logged up to several weeks on spayneuter procedures, Morton claims what makes it a better alternative than local veterinarians is that if a person misses their appointment, Beesley volunteers will make follow-up calls to bring them in for the procedure. "We'll hound them to'the ends of the Earth, most vets won't do that," she said. "But it really doesn't matter who does it, as long as these animals get spayed or neutered. One of the things we've always been so concerned with is making sure animals that leave the shelter do not come back tenfold Morton feels there has been some confusion among members of Public Safety, and, according to committee Chairman Gary Farley, there has.

"The way I understood it, they were backing out of the whole thing Farley said this week. "Nobody has approached us about any of this, they just sent us a letter saying they were going to cancel their contract." Morton said that is not the case. "We thought we made it clear in all our letters that we wanted to continue the spayneuter program," she said. "If we need to go talk with them, I guess that's what we'll do." Whether Beesley remains an exclusive partner with the county for spayneuter services will be left up to the new Humane-Rabies Control Board, Farley said. "When the board starts to meet again, that's the kind of thing tfey will need to work out," he said.

Parents (Continued from page 1) the county's HumaneRabies Animal Control Board and is separate from its contract for veterinary services. But in the past month, four members of that board including its chairman, vice chairman and secretary have quit over the same dispute that lead Beesley to halt veterinary services. The county is now trying to pick up the pieces and revamp that board by reducing its size from nine members to five. In discussing that action this week, Public Safety Committee members, the panel that oversees animal control, talked of needing a new program for spayneuter services. Discussion centered on creating a voucher system with the local veterinarians association, by which a list of vets would spayneuter animals at a reduced fee just as Beesley has done since 1992.

Morton fears a voucher system will be ineffective in making sure animals are fixed in Rutherford County. "I think, if you're dependent on that type of system, it's going to cut way down on the ones that get spay Celebration (Continued from page 1) a ribbon it is special, but placing in the top three is indescribable.
