When twice in July ducks had landed on the Big Sandy swimming pool, we at "The Mountaineer" took it as a sign. Were the ducks telling us we needed a larger and newer swimming pool or were the ducks telling us that the present pool is just fine?
Neither, we deduced. Rather the ducks were telling us we needed a mascot. We decided the mascot had to be a female duck which Leslie promptly named Beatrice. You will hear from Beatrice frequently. She will lend a couple of quacks to many stories and give us her opinion of many things going on in and around Big Sandy. So, say hello to the next member of the "Mountaineer" team. We hope you enjoy the antics of Beatrice half as much as we are going to enjoy reporting on them!
