Animal officer honored

Selectmen last week issued a proclamation to retiring animal control officer Linda Kippenberger, who has left the Milton Police Department after 16 years. Officials acknowledged Kippenberger’s years of service to the town, said she had demonstrated a work ethic that is hard for others to emulate, and had easily won the respect of everyone around her. Kippenberger began her career as a volunteer at the Milton Animal Shelter. A retirement party was held recently. - Michele Bolton
