OLD CHATHAM -- This cat may be down one of its nine lives after he was found frozen to a road in Old Chatham. Little Brook Farm, a nonprofit farm that rescues animals, posted the story of the cat they're calling Valentine on their Facebook page. They say a friend found the cat on the road and thought it was dead. After noticing the cat was still breathing, the friend says he literally peeled the animal off the road and took him to the farm. They warmed him up by the fire and wrapped him in towels. The cat is now recovering and has been given a clean bill of health from the vet. (Photos and videos courtesy of Little Brook Farm)

Here’s what you need to know.

He covered many significant news events during the course of that career and, as a war correspondent, was captured by Iraqi forces near the Saudi-Kuwait border during the opening days of the Persian Gulf war in January 1991.
He wrote about that experience in his 1992 memoir, The title referred to the length of his captivity. Read more from the NYTimes

The Hudson Estuary Trees for Tribs Program offers free native trees and shrubs for planting along the tributary streams in the Hudson River Estuary watershed. We are looking for new sites for plantings. Our staff can help you with a planting plan and work with your volunteers on site.
Trees for Tribs is now accepting applications for Spring 2015 planting projects. Applications received by March 1, 2015 will be given preference.
