Yesterday we mentioned some controversy over the Florence city seal which pictures a lily more along the lines of the fleur de lis than the giglio. First we want to thank Councilman Jimmy Oliver for clearing up that the current seal will be replaced not immediately, but only as new artwork is needed due to wear and tear.
Then we have Andy Betterton's statement to Bernie Delinski of the TimesDaily: the old seal had grown stale. Dick Jordan has mentioned that the current seal was established 19 years ago in 2004. That's certainly a long time for many aspects of day to day living.
While fine wine may be better with age, some things fail the test of time: bread and wives are the two which immediately come to mind, at least for some. We find it extremely interesting that Betterton needed to add that comment. Interesting and, for many, possibly disturbing...

This is Louis. He's a one year-old Jack Russell mix. We're a little prejudiced about this breed, but we predict Louis will make one of the best companions that anyone could ever ask for. You can make him part of your family at the Florence shelter in the industrial park on Roberson Road:
