Most dogs will go to great lengths in pursuit of the ever-elusive feline, but Zuse went beyond the call of duty in defending his master's property recently. The rottweiler, owned by Mike Kreider of Warsaw, was spotted in a tree - about eight feet up - by Mike's mom, Jodie, and wife, Cindy. The Kreiders at first thought Zuse had treed a 'coon, but as they got closer they could see that the quarry was a black cat.

Randy Rodgerson, Nappanee, received United Telephone Company's October Customer Relations Award.

Upon completing a work assignment, Rodgerson noticed smoke billowing from a nearby house. Rodgerson entered the burning structure to investigate after no one responded to his knock. Through the dense smoke, he saw an apparently stunned woman who had been sleeping and her small child in a hallway. When they didn't respond to Rodgerson's shouts to leave, he led the mother and child to safety.
