B2 Thursday, January 29, 1998 METRO The Cincinnati Enquirer Hall honors heroic animals TRISTATE EPORT BETHESDA COMPILED FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS MR ex 4V The Associated Press COLUMBUS Celeste rescued someone from a fire. Argo prevented a shooting. Those two dogs and other pet heroes or survivors will be inducted into the Ohio Animal Hall of Fame next month.

Nicole Hird, a veterinarian in Columbus, said animals deserve praise for their acts.

"I think it's really significant." Although many of this year's inductees are dogs, they don't have a lock on the honors. Stripy, a 1-year-old gray cat, lost his hind legs when he was run over by a hay mower last September but managed to crawl a quarter of a mile up a hill to a barn and survived, said his owner, Bonnie Crawford, of Utica. For now, the hall of fame exists only on paper. The animals will be inducted teb. 22 at a meeting of the Ohio Veteri nary Medical Association.
Scott strikes up band for trip to D.C. BY DARRELL S. PRESSLEY The Cincinnati Enquirer TAYLOR MILL Students in Scott High School's concert band are tuning up their horns and practicing their tempo for a performance in Washington, D.C, this spring. The concert band has been invited to represent the commonwealth in the "American Musical Salute" in May to commemorate the 150th anni versary of the Washington Monument. One band from each state will perform individually at the U.S.
Capitol. The concert band was recommended by state and local music educators based on the group's success in state competitions. The 60 Scott musicians are now trying to raise money for the trip. Cost $275 per student "It's very flattering. It's a real good opportunity for me to show off the kids' talents," said Shannon Stephens, band director.
Freshman Kelsey Miller, 14, who plays the contra bass clarinet, said she's nervous about getting enough sponsors to raise the $275 each band member needs for the trip. With the help of the Scott High School Band Boosters, students are holding Avon sales, a 12-hour play-a-thon in February, and other fund-raisers. One of the events was a rock-a-thon, where students sat in rocking chairs in the band room one weekend for pledges. "They just sat and rocked all night long," said Mike Schmidt, vice president of the band boosters. On Wednesday, the band practiced one of the songs it will play in Washington, "Flourish For Wind Band" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Junior Lindsay Spaulding, 16, who plays the French horn, said the band has the potential to be pretty good if students really work hard before the big event. 'Already nervous' While the performance is several months away, "I'm already nervous," said freshman Jennifer Dodson, 14, a flutist. Along with the performance, the band will tour the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court buildings, the Smithsonian Institute and other sites. The name of the group will be inscribed on a plaque that will be presented at the monument during a ceremony in July that will re-enact the laying of the cornerstone of the Washington Monument.
While excited about the trip and the performance, there's one thing the band won't be looking forward to experiencing: the 12-hour bus ride. To send donations, call the high school at 356-3146.
