The city of Longview has proclaimed March 9-11 as "Dana Brown Remembrance Week," Mayor Dennis Weber announced at Thursday's council meeting.

The long-time R.A. Long High School drama teacher and Mainstage Theatre director at R.A. Long High School died of cancer March 1 at the age of 61. In Brown's memory, Weber requested that flags be flown at half-staff and that all patrons of the arts "leave a light on." Brown's memorial service is 3 p.m. Sunday at Longview Community Church.

Weber's flag request is unusual --- according to Federal Flag Code, only the President and state governors have the right to order the flag at half-mast and that's upon the death of a national or state figure.

Friday, Weber said he knew that, which is why he worded it as a request and not an order.

" If they were in bad condition , it would seam that the neighbor who saw them in the woods would have immediately rescued them, and asked questions later. Obviously they were not in bad condition, only crates(not a crime) or carriers. Maybe he did take his animals with him on a trip. I have taken mine before,and know many people who take thiers along(even in RVs. Sounds like extreme tree huggers to me. Or maybe the PETA people who think a dog should never be crated.I guess it is more humane to go to dog shows and let other peoples dogs out in protest to them bieng in thier crates. I guess if this results in them getting hit by a car, lost, or running at large , this is acceptable. Most vet's require that an animal is crated in the waiting area. I hear no mention of whether or not they had food, or water. I think the humane society also must have someting better to do than chase after a guy and 18 dogs that are not in unsavory condition, even by the accounts of the neighbor who saw them in the woods. If they were in bad condition shame on that neighbor for leaving them there. "
