Save a pet in need of a good home The Coulee Region Humane Society hopes to � nd homes for about 20 animals when it holds its sixth annual adoptathon from noon to 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday, June 4-6, at the society's facil-

animals enter shelters each year. Only about half of these animals � nd homes. For information, contact Heather Schmid at [email protected] or by phone at (608) 781-4014.

Let's give it up for Orwell, La Crosse's favorite rock band as voted by you, the readers of Second Supper! This heavy quintet has a mammoth, two-month summer tour planned that will take it to New York, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, as well as many places in between. But before they pile in the van and ride out of town, Orwell is hosting a huge tour kickoff show this Friday night at the Warehouse. The concert begins at 7 p.m. and includes likeminded supporting acts Deception of a Ghost, A Past Unknown and Australis for only $8. This will be Orwell's last La Crosse concert for quite a while, so get your butt up to the Warehouse this weekend and support your local metal scene.

A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes roll to the back of his head, so the other guy whips out his cell phone and dials 911. He gasps to the operator, "My friend is dead, what can I do?" The operator says, "Just take it easy. I can help you. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. "OK, now what?"
