Doug's Diggings: Hard to believe dog track issue began 20 years ago

I happened to open a paper from January 1989 and was somewhat shocked to find that the community was heavily embroiled in the midst of the dog track controversy. I was shocked because I find it hard to believe that it was 20 years ago!
