James Taylor, Contributor
I write about energy and environment issues.
President Barack Obama in his second inauguration address called for new action to "respond to the threat of climate change." Taking advantage of the bully pulpit and a huge national audience, Obama mustered his best possible arguments in a brief case for why addressing global warming is supposedly necessary. Unfortunately for global warming alarmists, Obama's case was exceptionally flimsy. Then again, Obama did not have much to work with, as the overall case for global warming alarmism is exceptionally flimsy.
Obama presented his argument as follows: "Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms."
Given a fresh canvas on which to work, Obama sought the most compelling examples of an asserted global warming crisis. He chose wildfires, drought and powerful storms. At the same time, he urged us to defer to the "overwhelming judgment of science" on these matters.
President Obama, I agree we should strongly consider the overwhelming judgment of science. Let's apply the overwhelming judgment of science to your three cherry-picked examples and see what the science reveals.
Leading off the Obama "Big Three" is wildfires. What does the overwhelming judgment of science reveal?
The National Interagency Fire Center reports the number of annual wildfires in the United States has been declining for more than 30 years. In fact, the "overwhelming judgment of science" reveals the number of wildfires rose from the 1950s through the 1970s, as global temperatures declined, and has been declining ever since, as global temperatures have modestly warmed.
The really interesting part about wildfires in the United States is a recent increase in the number of acres burned per wildfire after the federal government reversed a decades-long policy of putting out as many wildfires as quickly as possible. In the 1990s, environmentalists and federal forest officials reported forests had become overgrown as a result of firefighters putting out too many natural fires too quickly. Since then, firefighters are responding to fewer forest fires and letting more acres burn. As a result, even though wildfires occur less frequently as our planet warms and as soil moisture improves (more on that coming right up), our global warming Alarmist in Chief presents the misleading assertion that global warming rather than a change in federal wildfire policy is causing a recent increase in acres burned due to wildfires.
Next in Obama's "Big Three" of asserted global warming crises is drought. What does the "overwhelming judgment of science" reveal?
U.S. and global soil moisture improved throughout the 20th century as our planet warmed in its recovery from the Little Ice Age. According to the Global Soil Moisture Data Bank, global soil moisture increased throughout the 20th century at almost all sites. Moreover, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that 20th century droughts were quite mild when compared to droughts in previous centuries. This "overwhelming scientific judgment of science" was confirmed in November when a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature found "there has been little change in drought over the past 60 years."
Finally, the President asserts that global warming is causing more powerful storms. This assertion is particularly fictitious. NOAA reports a long-term decline in strong tornadoes striking the United States. The National Hurricane Center reports that the past 40 years have seen the fewest major hurricane strikes since at least the mid-1800s. Even Hurricane Sandy reminds us that the U.S. Northeast has experienced only one major hurricane strike since 1960, but experienced six major hurricane strikes during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, when global temperatures were cooler.
Clearly, the "overwhelming judgment of science" contradicts President Obama and global warming alarmists. This is a good thing.
Now let's play a game of "pretend."
Let's pretend that none of the overwhelming scientific evidence presented above actually existed. Let's pretend that science supported rather than contradicted President Obama's assertions. The question is, what would Obama have us do to solve the problem?
Obama's solution is to impose still more economy-killing carbon dioxide restrictions on the U.S. economy. This makes about as much sense as losing your car keys in Boston but insisting on searching for them in Los Angeles. True, global carbon dioxide emissions have risen more than 33 percent since the year 2000. However, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have declined during that time and will continue to decline for the foreseeable future. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that during 2012 alone, U.S. carbon dioxide emissions declined by 8 percent compared to 2011.
China by far emits more carbon dioxide than any other nation and Chinese emissions are growing rapidly. China alone accounts for 75 percent of the global increase in carbon dioxide emissions since 2000. If the United States completely eliminated all of its carbon dioxide emissions today (something that is impossible to do), the only thing we would accomplish would be to delay by about five years an equal increase in Chinese emissions. And China has repeatedly and emphatically insisted it will not agree to any restrictions on its carbon dioxide emissions.
Thankfully, President Obama, the "overwhelming judgment of science" shows the asserted global warming crisis exists solely in the minds of global warming alarmists.
Reformed groupthinkers should as a rule try to use less that one cliche per sentence.
———" The Overwhelming Judgment of Science Rejects Obama's Global Warming Claims"———-
Things getting a little close and stressful down in the Heartland bunker? Mother Nature not cooperating by agreeing that physics takes second place to Right-Wing, Capitalist-Adulatory ideology.
What to do? How are you going to get the TRUTH out.That reality is wrong, the boys in the bunker are right.
I bet the Koch's are getting a bit testy. "Storms, Droughts, Floods, Ice Melting – didn't we pay you guys to make sure this s$!t doesn't happen. What sort of B-Grade spin-doctors are you! If you were a real professional PR outfit, your words would STOP THE ICE FROM MELTING."
So WHAT TO DO. HOW TOSAVE HEARTLAND'S BACON?
I have given you a hint James….
…. try using ALLCAPS. IT LETS YOU SOUND ALL SERIOUS AND EARNEST AND STUFF. THEN PEOPLE MIGHT TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK ADD BOLD, UNDERLINES, BRIGHT RED, BIGGER FONTS.
But be careful. It might also make you sound SHRILL and DESPERATE!
All so very scientific there, Glenn.
Thank you for demonstrating that you have not a morsel of science in your body.
I guess we should listen to Taylor and throw science out the window.
No you should listen to the science or throw yourself out the window.
Dear Sir,
The tone of your article seems to be retrograde. Forbes has editorially demonstrated in the past that "cool heads should prevail", and I personally
feel that good leadership entails a concept of what the future may hold, not squirreling away disputes from the past.
Yours sincerely,
Gordon Hervey.
Proof of global warming does exist.
Mr. Taylor's unique perspective can be very reassuring to those who are alarmed by the dramatic changes in global climate statistics. For instance, I was quite concerned when, in the 90s, the 32.7 million acres lost to wild fires (up nearly 3 mil from the 80s) suddenly doubled to 68.5 million lost last decade, until he explained that firefighters were just letting it burn. What a relief! …and here all the liberal media was making them look so exhausted and worried.

Suspect Sought in Murder at Super 8 in Brooklyn Center
Photo: MGN Online
Brooklyn Center police are looking for a suspect in a deadly shooting near a motel.
Police found a man bleeding from a gunshot wound around 3 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 22. He was lying in the back parking lot of the Super 8 Motel on the 6400 block of James Circle, just north of Interstate 694.
Police say the man died at the scene. At this point it's unclear if the man was staying at the motel, but police say the man initially tried to get into the motel through a back door and a clerk at the front desk noticed him and called police.
There are no suspects. The Hennepin County Crime Lab and Brooklyn Center Police are investigating the incident.

EXTER —Reverend Steve Magee will deliver a sermon from Acts 23:12-35 on Sun., June 30 at Exeter Presbyterian Church, 73 Winter Street, Exeter.
In these verses it is discovered that over forty Jews have made an oath together to kill Paul and plan to lay in ambush against him. However, this plot is discovered by Paul's nephew, who runs to inform the tribune who is in custody of Paul. The tribune, alarmed by this hatred of a man who does not deserve death, writes a letter and sends it and Paul to Felix, the governor of the province. In the letter he informs Felix of what has happened at Jerusalem and says that he is sending Paul's accusers after him to give their side of the story.
All are welcome on Sunday to hear more about how God rescues his people from danger and will bring them to a place of eternal security. Sunday school for all ages begins at 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning worship begins at 10:30 a.m. with an evening worship service beginning at 5:00 p.m., including a discussion of the sermon from morning worship.

I cover the economics of the sports industry.
What's that line from Forrest Gump? Stupid is as stupid does?
For a sport that is losing ground to MMA and UFC fighting, the only way to maintain integrity and respectability is to ensure fair play and fair assessment of play.
On Saturday night in Vegas, undefeated Timothy Bradley earned a split decision victory versus the much celebrated Manny Pacquiao. The fight scoring was 115-113 by all 3 judges, but 2 sided with Mr. Bradley while only one sided with Mr. Pacquiao.
Judging from experts and social media feedback, the official scoring was inconsistent with others' perspectives:
- Yahoo! Sports scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao;
- Tim Dahlberg of the AP scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao;
- Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao;
- Dan Rafael of ESPN scored the fight 118-110 for Pacquiao;
- HBO's Harold Lederman scored the fight 119-109 for Pacquiao.
Furthermore, live streaming feeds which I followed on Yahoo Sports and ESPN during and after the fight were overwhelmingly lopsided in favor of Pacquiao.
According to CompuBox, Pacquiao landed 34% of his punches compared to 19% for Bradley. Furthermore, Pacquiao landed 82 more power shots.
Unfortunately, it's these sorts of results that make skeptics of us all. Make us wonder if someone within the sport thought they could drum up greater interest in a Pacquiao-Bradley rematch if Pacquiao lost the first bout. Seems far-fetched, but in light of the circumstances I wouldn't blame anyone that draws this conclusion.
Boxing was a dying sport. In the '70′s, the Heavyweight Division dominated the boxing scene. After Muhammad Ali, people were starting to lose interest in the sport. Not even a Mike Tyson or an Evander Holyfield could revive the waning attention of the public. Does anybody know who Alexander Povetkin is ? He is the current WBA Heavyweight Champion. And then came Manny Pacquiao, an impoverished prizefighter from Southern Philippines. The young Pacquiao showed a lot of promise. His life story makes good copy. People slowly took notice of him until he caught the eye of the high and the mighty in the boxing world who eventually managed his professional career. The rest is history.
Rounds 1-9 bradley always got wobbled..he only needs a knockout 2 win..maybe pac's age taking effect that's why he slowed down the last 3 rounds..not the vintage pac who devastates from 1-12..but not the reason to lose..not evn a close fight..
I watched the fight twice. Once live and then the replay. Pacquioa crushed him. It wasn't close. Only a blind man would think otherwise,
A Day of Infamy! If I were Pacman, I should fight in Vegas no more,instead next fight should be held in Cowboys Stadium in Texas or anywhere in the US except in Vegas to rob them of income!
When you say "it's no skin off my nose if boxing doesn't care enough about its own image problem…", the real problem is there is no such thing as "boxing." no commissioner or league or board of directors…..the alphabet soup of boxing sanctioning bodies — WBO, WBC, etc, etc. — is a meaningless joke, which has been corrupt for decades. the promoters only care about the interests of their cash cows. it's hard to fix problems when there's anarchy…
If there is ever a time to clean up a sport this would be it. Judge Duane Ford and CJ Ross need to be held accountable for destroying what could have been an epic match up between Mayweather and Pacquiao. I'm actually a Bradley fan and don't want to see him win like this. who want's to be a paper champion?
There is a reason boxing is irrelevent and this is one of them. What a joke. Enjoy not even being on the American sports radar boxing.

By GARY POPP
Clarksville firefighters strapped on head-to-toe radioactive protective suits equipped with air-filtering face masks and carried Geiger counters during a simulated terrorism attack Friday.
The radiological training session at Clarksville Fire Department headquarters off Veterans Parkway was orchestrated to get firefighters prepared to respond to not only terrorists using radioactive weapons, but other incidents such as a automobile accident or overturned trains transporting radioactive materials or a incident at a cancer-treatment facility.
While the day's training was focused on radioactive materials, it was another step toward establishing a Clark County Hazardous Material Task Force.
Clarksville Fire Deputy Chief James Hendrick and Jeffersonville Fire Chief Eric Hedrick were both on hand to oversee the training session. Both men are advocating for the formation of a countywide HAZMAT response team.
Hedrick said for years, Clark County has leaned on Louisville officials for hazardous-material responses, and it's now time for Clark County to be able to handle those personally.
"We have grown to a point where we need to be able to take care of our own calls," Hedrick said, adding that doing so is only possible if the county's fire departments share resources and the financial burden.
"One single department can't do it," he said.
Hedrick said the Clark County Local Emergency Planning Committee is leading the way to establish the Clark County Hazardous Material Task Force
"The one hurdle that we have had is funding," Hedrick said. "We are going to be reaching out to some different areas for some funding, even into the private sector."
While it's expected other county fire stations will be involved in the HAZMAT task force, he said JFD and CFD firefighters will make up the majority of the manpower and staffing costs.
"We plan on using the volunteer departments in a support role for elongated incidents, but as far as an immediate response, it would probably be in the technician levels, which will be in the professional departments of Jeffersonville and Clarksville."
Hedrick explained that there are three personnel levels of HAZMAT preparedness: awareness, operations and technicians.
The awareness level allows a person to recognize a possible HAZMAT incident, operations level provides the knowledge of how to properly attack the incident and identify the materials on a scene and technician level prepares a person to approach the situation and mitigate the problem, such as plugging a leak.
Jeffersonville and Clarksville firefighters already hold certification in awareness and operations of HAZMAT responses, and the training that took place Friday was for radiological material response training.
The Clark County Hazardous Material Task Force, if and when it comes to fruition, would respond to traditional HAZMAT incidents and radiological incidents. Hedrick said in the coming months, both fire departments are expected to receive technical-level HAZMAT training.
The emergency planning committee has hired Bill Banta, a HAZMAT specialist, to coordinate efforts and help create the Clark County Hazardous Material Task Force. Banta said he has worked with firefighters from both departments who are eager to be part of the HAZMAT team and to make the county more safeguarded against emergencies.
"These men and woman signed the list, they weren't told they have to do this," Banta said. "They said, 'We want this.' They realize there is a need."
Banta said the ultimate goal is to have the HAZMAT team established before the end of the year, but funding remains a significant deterrent. He said the majority of the costs associated with the team is equipment, which includes an array of HAZMAT meters, protective suits, and, at least, one vehicle to transport the equipment.
Banta estimated the equipment costs at $125,000
"Equipment-wise is going to be our hurdle. It is going to be our challenge," Hedrick said. "That is where we've got to get the funding assistance."
He said if the funds are not received, the effort to assemble the HAZMAT team will continue, and organizers are willing to put the team together one piece of equipment at a time, if they are forced to do so.
"To be quite honest, I am still campaigning, hoping that this need gets met," Hedrick said. "We are taking care of the things that we can do internally and that is through the education and the training."
Banta said he hoped more funding would have been received at this point, but not all possible funding resources have been exhausted.
"There is a definite need for a HAZMAT team," Banta said.

President Barack Obama will take center stage tonight to deliver his third State of the Union address, a speech that takes on heightened significance in an election year. With anywhere from 43 million to 52 million viewers, tonight's address is as much a 2012 campaign speech as it is an opportunity for Obama to size up the state of the country and lay out his plans for the year to come.
What will the president say? Yesterday, Politico reported that in preparation for tonight's speech, President Obama was looking for something bold and iconic, his own version of the Hoover Dam, but incoming Council of Econmic Advisers Chair Christin Romer steered him away from big initiatives for the stimulus that are not feasible. Romer apparently coached Obama to pursue less sexy, but more effective ideas like sending hundreds of millions of dollars to the dozens of states that are struggling with budget crises of their own.
Thus, tonight we can expect a reprise of many of the populist economic themes that Obama articulated last month in Osawatomie, Kan. The president is likely to convey the frustrations of the middle-class and demand more sacrifice from the wealthy. White House senior adviser David Plouffe said that Obama will specifically outline a plan to make sure that wealthy Americans pay.
When asked about Mitt Romney's tax returns, which indicated that the Massachusetts governor paid a 14 percent effective income tax rate in 2010, Plouffe said, "One of the things that the president is going to talk in the State of the Union tonight is something what Warren Buffett famously talked about — that he should not pay less in taxes than his secretary does." He continued, "The president, as you know, has talked about something called the Buffett rule. We're going to outline that specifically tonight — what that would mean, so that we make sure everybody in this economy is doing their fair share."
At some point in the speech, you can also expect the President to tout his foreign policy successes from the past year. Obama would be silly to waste an opportunity to remind that American people that since he took the stage at this time last year, he has killed Osama bin Laden, followed through on his promise to withdraw troops from Iraq, and successfully managed the Arab Spring (including the war in Libya).
What should he say? The theme of last year's SOTU address was "Winning the Future." Obama talked about our generation's "Sputnik moment," advocating for infrastructure spending and investment in education, technology, and science. He also made it a point to stress the need for bipartisan cooperation in Washington.
The theme of this year's address should be "Winning Today." We need to hear a real, clearly-articulated economic vision from President Obama, a specific plan for how he will jump-start economic growth and curb unemployment this year. More importantly, we need to hear Obama's plan for how he plans to implement this economic vision. If bipartisan compromise was last year's theme, this year's emphasis should be on doing whatever it takes to get the economy moving again. We need to hear that Obama will not get bogged down by a dysfunctional Congress, that he'll be able to sidestep through Washington bureaucracy to spark economic growth.
How will Obama reach a budget deal with Republicans this year? Will he revive his jobs bill and if so, how will he be more successful getting it passed this year? How will he avoid another prolonged battle over payroll tax extensions?
Obama should not make class-struggle the theme of the night; he should avoid the temptation to depict himself as a 99 percent supporter and condemn Romney as part of the 1 percent. Republicans will pick up on this kind of rhetoric as evidence that Obama supports "class-warfare." After all, attacking Romney as representing the 1 percent is a tough sell for the president, who took heaps of money in 2008 from all the major banks and bailout recipients (Goldman Sachs ($1,013,091), JPMorgan Chase & Co ($808,799), and Citigroup Inc. ($736,771)), along with high-dollar defense lawyers from firms like WilmerHale and Skadden Arps who make their money representing those same banks.
We need to hear a straightforward, non sugar-coated answer as to why President Obama is the right choice in 2012 to get our economy working again. Beneath the clapping from Congress and the rhetorical flourishes that regularly characterize these addresses, this message alone will set the President up for victory in November.

Hawks Helping Haiti
"Hawks Helping Haiti" was comprised of students from Dr. Darrell Irwin's two CRM 110 Issues in Criminal Justice classes in the Spring 2010 Semester. Every semester, Dr. Irwin includes a public service project which requires students to become involved in community service or meet a community need. Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Dr. Irwin asked the class to assist Haiti's Earthquake victims for their service learning project. It was later decided that the class would hold a candy sale in the University Union to raise money for Haitian earthquake relief.
"Hawks Helping Haiti" raised $636.35 for the Haiti Connection, a non profit organization working to help people in the earthquake ravaged country. That money was later used to make a family in Haiti's home livable again by building them a new roof!
Students Involved in Hawks Helping Haiti:
Andrew Abernathy, Angela Austin, Thomas Brantley, Adam Charity, Dominique Clark, Jessica Copeland, David DeMolet, Robert Floyd, Joseph Flynn, Daniel Fortier, Garrett Gibson, Cecelie Gonsalves, Andrew Gordon, Adrienne Grice, Aaron Hopkins, Samantha Kelly, Megan Mintac, Lauren Powers, Brittany Smiley, Daniel Spreacher, Brittany Turner, Jonathan Vickers, Amber Baker, Ross Benton, Nathan Cheek, Cody Clark, Shakoria Clark, Krista Deitz, Scott Ferris, Christina Higgins, Chad Holderness, Phillip Holland, Adrienne Jarrett, Chrishonda Jefferson, Kimberly Jordan, Elliot Lane, Michael Lawrence, Mitchell McCarley, Joshua Mulvehill, Sara Nussman, David Porter, Melissa Poteat, Mariquetta Reaves, Jennifer Richardson, Gregory Rizzo, Valerie Scialabba, Kimberly Smallwood, Robin Smircina Forminaya, Erica Torkildson, Scott Townsend, Jonathan Williams.

An amazing 407 canoe, kayak and stand-up paddleboard racers took to the river Saturday for the
"That's about 70 percent more than last year, when we had 251 racers," said Russian Riverkeeper Don McEnhill, one of the organizers. "We had 35 sign up first thing this morning."
McEnhill said a buzz spread in the paddling community after the inaugural event last year.
"What this race is really about is building community around the Russian River," said race director Tony Hansen. "This is a world-class river; it's one of the best to paddle in the world."
Hansen said he was thrilled with the day's success.
"Beautiful river, beautiful day -- and rave reviews from our sponsors," Hansen said.
At least 70 percent of the racers came from out of Sonoma County and from places like Santa Barbara, San Jose, San Diego and even the East Coast, McEnhill said.
"We came to visit my sister, who lives in Berkeley," said Sean and Nate Conroy of Maine. "She and her husband were in the race, so she signed us up."
Sean Conroy, 24, and Nate Conroy, 27, won second place in the men's doubles for the 5-mile canoe race.
"We had a big hunkin' canoe," Nate Conroy said.
Sadly, the Conroy brothers missed out on the "Best Dressed" award, even though they were decked out smartly with Superman bottoms and Melvin cartoon sleeveless tops.
"Best Dressed" honors went instead to Beth Rypins of Napa, who also won overall first place in the 5-mile kayak race. Rypins, a former professional river rafter and paddler for 25 years, said she had been off the river for a while, but when she heard about last year's event, she decided to dust off her paddling chops and jump in.
"Since I had the advantage of experience, I decided to start way back and work myself up, picking people off," said Rypins, who sported a blonde wig, bikini and pasted on tatoos. "I had to work really hard to pick people off, but I did it."
To see all the race results, click on the attached PDF. Tune back in later in the weekend for full photo coverage of the races.
Colin Grill and Tyler Norris of Healdsburg won first place, recreational doubles in the 15 mile canoe race paddling a 1971 Old Town Canoe called "The Tripper."
"We were persistent," said Norris. "We didn't stop -- my arms hurt."
They both took home backpacks equipped with a water feeder from Camelbak, one of the major race sponsors. And of course, a bottle of wine.
"I watched the race the first year," Grill said. "This year, I said, 'I gotta do it.'"
First place in the professional doubles for men went to Shaun Kajiwara and Graham Weerts who both work for Jackson Family Wines, a gold race sponsor. Kajiwara, assistant vineyard manager in Napa, and Weerts, winemaker in Healdsburg, paddled a kayak.
"We had a very tippy boat," Kajiwara said.
Among other major sponsors were Marmot and
"Our sponsors really stepped up," McEnhill said. He said he expects to give about $5,000 of the proceeds to Sonoma County Regional Parks for helping to maintain the compared to about $3,800 in proceeds last year for the park.
"This is a really important beach," he said. "It's one of only two beaches on the whole river that has a lifeguard, and so allows people to have fun on the river and be safe."
The balance of the proceeds go toward river education programs, such as teaching high school students about urban stormwater pollution.
"The turnout today was really great," McEnhill said. "It really speaks to what an awesome resource we have here.
"So many people don't have access to a great river like this," McEnhill said.

CHAPEL HILL — It was dark and raining hard, but Dorothy Verkerk drove her Mercedes with the window open and headlights off.
Fortunately for everybody on the street that night in 2011, Verkerks erratic driving caught the attention of Chapel Hill Fire Department Lt. Gordon Shatley.
Verkerk has two reasons today to be especially grateful that Shatley stopped her car:
The firefighter may have prevented her from causing a crash and hurting herself or someone else. And his action that night might now help Verkerk avoid being punished for driving after she had done too much drinking.
It was a Chapel Hill police officer who actually arrested Verkerk that night on a charge of driving while intoxicated. But the N.C. Court of Appeals says Shatleys stop may have been an illegal search and seizure that violated her constitutional rights. It has vacated Verkerks 2012 DWI conviction.
An Orange County judge will schedule new hearings to resolve complicated Fourth Amendment questions in the case. Verkerk, 54, a UNC-Chapel Hill art professor and former Chapel Hill Town Council member, could ultimately be convicted again of DWI. Or she could go free.
Firefighters decision
Shatley was in charge of a fire crew heading back to the station at 10:30 p.m. on May 27, 2011, after a call that turned out to be a false alarm. His fire truck followed Verkerks Mercedes as it veered back and forth across two lanes and the center turn lane.
He radioed police twice to report that he was following a driver who might be impaired. Then the Mercedes narrowly missed a passing bus. Still, police had not arrived.
I had to make a decision, Shatley, 44, a 20-year veteran of the fire department, told the Road Worrier. Do we just let her keep driving down the road the way she was going, and risk something happening?
Shatley flipped on his fire-truck siren and flashing red lights. He testified later that the Mercedes lurched to a stop at the side of the street. Sparks flew as the wheel rim scraped the curb.
The first thing I said to her was, Maam, are you OK? Shatley said. She was really confused.
Verkerk stumbled from her car. Shatley offered to have someone drive her home. She agreed at first, but then she drove off and left him standing in the street.
Police officers arrived a few minutes later, and Shatley spoke with them. They caught up with Verkerk and arrested her.
Her blood-alcohol breath test registered .23 percent. Thats a lot of alcohol, nearly triple the .08 level that establishes, under state law, that a driver is illegally impaired. Verkerk had been convicted of DWI previously, after a 2010 arrest, and in the May 2011 case she initially was charged with driving while her license was revoked.
Her lawyer, Matt Suczynski of Chapel Hill, sought to suppress the evidence police got from Shatley, citing her Fourth Amendment protection from illegal search and seizure. The argument was that the fire department officer acted as a government agent but did not have authority to enforce traffic laws.
Review ordered
Superior Court Judge Elaine Bushfan denied the defense motion. She accepted Verkerks DWI guilty plea while reserving her right to appeal on the Fourth Amendment claim.
The 51-page Court of Appeals ruling, issued Sept. 3, said Bushfan should have considered the issues more fully. The appeals court ordered a new hearing to determine whether Shatley had acted as a private citizen or as a government officer when he stopped Verkerk, whether the stop was illegal, and whether there was enough evidence gathered legally by police to justify the DWI arrest.
The Court of Appeals order has sparked worry among some firefighters here and across the country.
We have people asking, Am I not allowed to intercede when I see something like that? said Dan Jones, Chapel Hills fire chief since 1990. As his supervisor, I commend his action. I think he did the right thing.
Curt Varone, a lawyer, blogger and former deputy assistant fire chief in Providence, R.I., said the case raises two questions with two different answers about the proper behavior of a firefighter.
From the criminal defense perspective, about whether it was an illegal search and seizure, you come up with one answer, Varone said. But if you have a victim killed by a drunk driver, and a firefighter had an opportunity to pull the drunk driver over but chose not to do that, that leads you to a different way of looking at this problem.
Could that firefighter be held guilty of negligence? Is there a duty to protect citizens in that way?
Suczynski said Verkerk is very grateful to the Chapel Hill Fire Department.
Ive always felt, and Ms. Verkerk felt the same way, the firefighters actions were proper from an ethical and moral standpoint, Suczynski said. I think he did whats right from a societal standard.
But, Suczynski said, to be held criminally liable from something a fire department should not be allowed to do is wrong. The fire department shouldnt be allowed to execute a traffic stop. They arent trained law enforcement officers.
Shatley said he would never try to do the job of a traffic cop.
I think you look out for your neighbor and you look out for the innocent, Shatley said. That night I personally feel we did what any citizen would have done.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Jazz composer and pianist Dave Brubeck, whose pioneering style in pieces such as "Take Five" caught listeners' ears with exotic, challenging rhythms, has died. He was 91.
Brubeck, who lived in Wilton, died Wednesday morning at Norwalk Hospital of heart failure after being stricken while on his way to a cardiology appointment with his son Darius, said his manager Russell Gloyd. Brubeck would have turned 92 on Thursday.
Brubeck had a career that spanned almost all American jazz since World War II. He formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 and was the first modern jazz musician to be pictured on the cover of Time magazine — on Nov. 8, 1954 — and he helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and '60s club jazz.
George Wein, a jazz pianist and founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, had known Brubeck since he first worked in Wein's club in Boston in 1952.
"No one else played like Dave Brubeck," he said. "No one had the approach to the music that he did. That approach communicated."
Brubeck "represented the best that we can have in jazz," he added. "The quality of his persona helped every other jazz musician."
The seminal album "Time Out," released by the quartet in 1959, was the first ever million-selling jazz LP, and is still among the best-selling jazz albums of all time. It opens with "Blue Rondo a la Turk" in 9/8 time — nine beats to the measure instead of the customary two, three or four beats.
A piano-and-saxophone whirlwind based loosely on a Mozart piece, "Blue Rondo" eventually intercuts between Brubeck's piano and a more traditional 4/4 jazz rhythm.
The album also features "Take Five" — in 5/4 time — which became the Quartet's signature theme and even made the Billboard singles chart in 1961. It was composed by Brubeck's longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond.

I'm not really sure I understand why you left. I realize it's probably too late now but did you consider counselling?
I realize that this must hurt like heck and I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Do you still speak to him?
I know this is going to sound hackneyed but only time will help - that and spending time on yourself. Maybe counselling would be of assistance - if it helps you identify what went wrong in your couple you could avoid doing the sale thing over and over. Definitely look into finding another place to live. you don't want to have your nose rubbed in it every time you go out, do you?
Your moving out was a signal that you believed the marriage was over and one should move on. Obviously your husband did exactly that.
Get dressed up and go out tonight. Dance away your anger. It's only a short fix but it is better than being miserable. Things happen for a reason.
If moving is an option I'd jump on it! Otherwise find other things to do and focus on...try not to look down the road and see them. You are only making yourself miserable. Both of them are showing no regard for you or your feelings, so that means neither one of them was ever good enough to be in your life in the first place
I will like to say is that you are strong you may not think you are but you are God is with you through all of this he will help you trough this and work on your situation everything will be ok and I pray that you will find love again with someone that will cherish you and only you and not your friends. God Bless You.
It would be healthier for you to move and start over. This must be very hard for you. Be the strong woman that you are, and handle it with dignity and class. Karma will come back to them eventually. No one escapes karma.
Why be hurt....You left him. You got your own appartment. A man can give himself very quickly.... I have a gf and a wife and another gf. My wife and my gf's all know about each other, oh, and one is married and her husband and my wife and she and I are good friends. If you wash your laundry outside..... the dye can rub off on other garments....It's now time to clean up the spilled milk and not cry over it. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I'm sorry if I sound like I'm not on your side...It sounds like you've made your bed and don't like lying in it. It sound like it's a done deal and weather or not they had something going before is now a moot point... Maybe she encouraged you to leave because of what you had told her.... Maybe Nothing was going on between them until you left. Maybe he was trying to find out how you were doing and they found each other. Sometimes friends become more than friends...it happens...
It's now time for you to realize the real reality... It's over. Get on with your life and nex time you won't fight with your lover/mate/lover/SO . There are ways to fight and there are ways to fight where everybody wins....What happened in the past is past What happens in the future is what you make it.
Good luck

Retiring from the Statehouse
By Ben Kieffer
At a time in our politics when every debate seems to be dominated by rancor and partisanship… retiring Representative Kurt Swaim of Bloomfield got up on the floor of the Iowa House last month and proclaimed his love for his colleagues, their staffs and the political system. Host Ben Kieffer talks with Rep. Swaim and Representative Lance Horbach as they prepare to leave lawmaking behind. He also speaks to Mike Glover, who recently retired as Senior Legislative and Political Correspondent for the Associated Press in Des Moines, about his long career covering Iowa politics.

State police are investigating racist grafitti and a report of ethnic intimidation targeting a Jewish resident.
More than 190,000 such hate incidents and crimes occur each year in the United States, according to a 2005 report.
KKK Sprayed on Garage
A Lower Macungie Township woman -- Chermay Michelle Bullock, 31 -- told police that someone sprayed "KKK" on the door of her garage on Sequoia Drive, according to state police at Fogelsville. The act has been classified criminal mischief and occurred between 10:30 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7:30 a.m. Dec. 7, police said.
Jewish Teen Targeted
Earlier this month, an ethnic-related message sent to a Lower Macungie Township teen on a social media site is being investigated as a criminal offense, according to a news release from state police at Fogelsville.
A 14-year-old girl who is Jewish received ethnic intimidation remarks from two unknown people about 7 p.m. Dec. 2, police said. Police have not released details of the content.
Anyone with information about the Lower Macungie incidents is asked to call police at 610-395-1438.
An online database of hate incidents includes eight reports from Pennsylvania this year including these:
- Racial slurs and graffiti spray painted on more than 20 vehicles in a Philadelphia neighborhood.
- Five people allegedly yelled racial epithets, destroyed property and shot paintballs at campers at a Jewish summer camp in the Poconos.
- Fliers from the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were left at mobile home parks in Butler County north of Pittsburgh.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., September 2, 2006 – The Springfield College field hockey team opened its season today with a 2-0 victory over cross-town rival Western New England College (WNEC) in a first-round game of the Zenaty Invitational at SC's Benedum Field.
In the other first round contest, Rensselaer (RPI) defeated Endicott, 3-2.
As a result, SC will meet Rensselaer in the championship game at 1 pm tomorrow (Sunday) at Benedum. In the consolation game at 11 am, WNEC will take on Endicott.
Dotty Potter Zenaty, for whom the tourney is named, is a legendary coaching figure at Springfield College. In a 34-year period before retiring following the 2003 season, she finished with 377 career victories, most ever in New England, and fifth-most nationally. Her SC teams reached the NCAA Division III national semi's in 1999, and the NCAA Championship game in 2000.
The SC-WNEC match was 0-0 for quite a spell, despite the Pride's dominance in shots (21-5) and in short corners (11-6). Neither team was able to score until sophomore Jane Kelleher (Chatham, Mass.) managed to push the ball across the goal line with just 15:26 left in the game. She was assisted by senior midfielder Ashley Burns (Falmouth, Mass.).
A key moment in the game came with approximately three minutes left when SC junior goalkeeper Emma Kaplan (Ridgefield, N.J.) repelled a Golden Bear shot from point-blank range, preventing what looked like the tying goal.
Moments later, with 1:25 left, SC senior forward Christine Gibbins (Eden, N.Y.) capped the scoring with an emphatic laser from about 10 yards out. She received a nice pass from junior forward Brittany Veazie (Dexter, Maine), setting Gibbins up with a straightaway look. Gibbins then simply turned and fired.
Kaplan recorded five saves, plus the shutout, for the Pride. Junior goalkeeper Emilie Donka (White River Junction, Vt.) made 19 saves for WNEC.
In the second game, junior forward Michelle Clemente (Rensselaer, N.Y.) scored the only goal of the first half at 6:43, giving RPI a quick 1-0 lead. But just three minutes into the second half, Gulls senior midfielder Caitlin Murray (Templeton, Mass.) tied it at one-all.
RPI sophomore forward Lisa Pak (Methuen, Mass.) then took advantage of a pair of Endicott miscues by scoring two consecutive goals on penalty strokes in a three and a half minute span. Pak scored her first goal with 16:44 left, her second with 13:16 left.
Endicott did not go away, applying pressure for much of the remainder of the contest. Junior forward Jennifer Rheaume (Blackstone, Mass.) tallied for the Gulls just 1:30 after Pak's second goal to cut it to 3-2. Endicott outshot RPI, 14-13. Each team had six short corners. For Endicott, senior goalkeeper Erin Curry (Hampstead, N.H.) was credited with 10 saves. For RPI, senior goalkeeper Liz Szewczak (Enfield, Conn.) made 12 saves.
SC, which reached the 'Elite Eight' in NCAA post-season tournament play last year, and RPI both start the season 1-0. WNEC and Endicott fall to 0-1.

A new study reveals the most common lies parents tell their kids in an effort to get them to change a behavior. Researchers surveyed 200 families in the US and China. In both countries the most frequent fib had do to with what parents say to a child who's throwing a tantrum in public. "Stop now, or I'll walk away and leave you here," is the threat. "I've also used I'm going to call the Police if you don't behave," admitted Vancouver area mom Jenny Wigglesworth.
The study, published in the International Journal of Psychology examined the use of "instrumental lying." Another common fib had to do with leaving a store without buying a toy. Parents often said, "The store is closing or I don't have any money. We'll come back another time." Lies seemed more acceptable if they encouraged a positive behavior like, "Eat your broccoli. It will make you taller."
Portland Licensed Clinical Social Worker Nicole J. Carroll has a warning about half truths.
"Eventually, they figure it out and then might wonder what else you've told them that isn't accurate and all of a sudden your credibility is flattened."
The study also showed moms and dads fib at about the same rate, but the incidence is higher in China than the US.
Tell us, what little white lies have you told your children?

The 2012 Honda Silver Wing is a sleek and stylish scooter that is perfect for cruising across town or hitting the open road and going from coast to coast. The 2012 Honda Silver Wing has a full list of luxury and comfort features that allow for supreme rider and passenger comfort no matter how long the ride is. The Silver Wing has been in production in some form or another since 1981. Honda put the Silver Wing in hiatus in the early 1990's and was resurrected in 2001. At that time, many changes were made and two versions of the popular scooter were introduced.
Today, the present model is a sleek and powerful scooter that is powered by a 582 cc two cylinder twin engine. Being able to keep up ahead of the traffic wave is no problem at thanks to the fuel-injected engine and the power and performance of the automatic transmission helps deliver a smooth and comfortable ride. Honda's programmed fuel injection comes standard on the Silver Wing. This ensures that you can always count on easy start ups no matter how cold it may be outside. Even in higher altitudes, you can count on the Silver Wing to start.
Another key feature on the 2012 Honda Silver Wing is the Combined Braking System (CBS). The unique braking feature is designed to ensure that even when things don't go according to plan, your scooter will stop without any issues. The CBS system works due to the fact that the front and rear brakes are linked in a rather rare fashion so that when you apply the front brake lever, two out of the three pistons in the front are activated. When you apply the rear brake level, the remaining piston is activated. And when you use both levers together the end result is ultimate stopping power. In short, the 2012 Honda Silver Wing ensures precise stopping power, whenever and wherever you need it.
The Honda Silver Wing is a pure pleasure to ride and will likely please any rider. With more than enough room for two and a sleek and stylish design, the 2012 Honda Silver Wing will not leave one feeling disappointed.

It will not be a surprise to learn that Apple is working on some new iPhones. The interesting question is what direction they'll take.

The paper also sees the much discussed iTV going into production in 2013.
Misek himself thinks there will be three new iPhones this year, but he disagrees on the details. He expects:

As a local news organization, Patch covers stories of all kinds, from heartbreaking tragedies to inspiring tales of community brotherhood. But some stories are just plain weird. Here are some of the stranger headlines from the past seven days.
This week, hundreds of dead crabs washed up on a beach in Hampton Bays, and depending who you talk you, either Mother Nature or our own pesticides are to blame.
Some authorities are blaming warm waters and this year's early arrival of red tide, an algal bloom that's known to harm sea life. On the other hand, the local baykeeper is saying that this year's heavy pesticide spraying due to an active West Nile season is the likely culprit.
And then there's the smell.
Quogue police last week pulled an East Moriches man driving a car they said resembled the Batmobile. Unfortunately, the caped crusader was allegedly driving without a license ... and his tail light was out.
Authorities in Hampton Bays are trying to figure out how to get a decaying whale that washed up on the beach out of there, and so far it's not going too well.
On Saturday, the county attempted to move the whale, but the weight kept snapping the chains, according to Kim Durham, rescue program coordinator at the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research & Preservation.
The dead animal, which experts think is either an endangered sei whale or a finback whale, a threatened species, was spotted off shore Friday. Though it could have continued to drift out to sea, the currents instead brought it ashore.
Attempts to remove the animal will continue, but let's hope they don't resort to blowing it up. (UPDATE: On Sunday, in a secluded spot near the beach.)

Nebraska has been hard hit by snowstorms this winter season, but climatologists say all that white stuff could amount to some good eventually.
Recent storms have dumped more than two feet of snow in some areas of the state.
But climatologists say more snow means more water once it melts and that could help ease the state's drought concerns.
Mark Svoboda with the National Drought Mitigation Center says that's good news for the tourism and agriculture industries.
Svoboda says in past years, water sources ran dry which resulted
in higher irrigation costs and decreased crop production.
The state lost nearly $1 billion in the worst years.

ATHENS - They can't help right away, but two players have made it official, signing with the Georgia men's basketball team.
Point guard J.J. Frazier, a point guard from Glennville, and Juwan Parker, a shooting guard from Tulsa, Okla., sent in their letters-of-intent on Wednesday.
Both players are rated three-star prospects by 247sports, Rivals and Scout. But they fill a need, with Georgia set to lose senior point guard Vincent Williams and senior shooting guard Sherrard Brantley.
We needed to add more backcourt players and I am excited to add these two guards to our team, Georgia head coach Mark Fox said in a statement.
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound Frazier, who is beginning his senior season at Faith Baptist Christian Academy, averaged 26.2 points, 4.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 3.9 steals last year.
"J.J. is a quick and dynamic playmaking point guard, Fox said. He has the ability to create plays for himself and other people. I really like his natural instincts for the game.
The 6-foot-5 Parker, who attends Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, averaged 20.5 points and 9.4 rebounds as a junior, and is rated the nation's No. 30 shooting guard by Scout.com, and No. 39 by Rivals.com.
Juwan is a very complete shooting guard, Fox said. His ability to shoot and score will be welcomed on the wing. I feel good about the versatility he will bring to that position for us.

Jane Seymour said that she "was not even remotely surprised" to hear that Arnold had fathered a child out of wedlock. She thinks that the only reason he came forward to announce his infidelity was because he wanted to be the one to tell the story "before everyone else told the world of the news." She didn't stop there, though. She went on to say, "From what I gather, I think there will be lots of information coming people's way. I heard about two more [children] somebody else knows about. I even met someone who knows him well."
Ouch! If Jane was ever a pal of Arnold's, you can pretty much assume that friendship is over. Although a few more women have stepped forward to claim that they had affairs with The Terminator, no other illegitimate kids have sprung up yet. Here's a thought. Perhaps Jane Seymour decided to use Arnold's scandal to bring publicity to her relatively unknown film. Schwarzenegger is certainly no angel and he deserves every bit of bad publicity that rains down on him, but should Jane really be airing his dirty laundry on a red carpet premiere for her film? It was a bit tacky to say the least.
What do you think? Did Jane Seymour cross the line in her outrageous statement about Arnold Schwarzenegger? Share your thoughts below!

FORT WORTH -- Dallas Jesuit grad Jordan Spieth finished his second high-quality round at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, but it wasn't without a big helping of adversity.
On the sixth green, just before he was ready to making his putting stroke, his golf ball moved and he incurred a one-stroke penalty. But he bounced back immediately on the next hole, despite admittedly being emotionally upset after the bad break.
"Number seven was definitely the key hole of the day," Spieth said. "I hit a great 3 wood and then hit a 9 iron way up in the air and it came down to about a foot. That was very, very important."
Spieth cards a second-round 67, that included five birdies and a pair of bogeys. He three-putted the 16th for his second bogey of the day when he had a shot to grab the lead outright at 9-under.
"I was just a little too focused on the line," Spieth said. "It was a tricky little putt. Yeah, I'll learn from that if I'm in that position again."
In his first year as a professional, Spieth showing he's a quick learner.
In the bigger picture, he's put himself in position to earn full-time playing privileges next year, and in the short term, he's in position to win a PGA Tour event 45 minutes from where he grew up.
"Yeah, it's very special," Spieth said. "You try not to think about it too much - you try to think of it as another tournament, but its nice to have extra support seeing my family and close friends out here egging me on. It's like a 15th club in the bag."

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Forget the overall records, the playoff implications.
This one has the makings for another classic.
The Clinton Community College men's basketball team plays host to rival North Country Community College in a battle for area bragging rights tonight at 7 p.m.
The Saints (15-8), who received contributions in large part from Ian Henderson (29) and Steve Carder's (28) combined 57 points, grabbed a thrilling 100-94 double-overtime victory over the Cougars (11-10) in the first regular season matchup Nov. 2 in Saranac Lake.
North Country stands at 5-4 since resuming play for the second semester, losing three of four contests by a combined 13 points.
"We lost Brody Douglass just a couple of days before we got back from break, so it has taken us a little while to make some changes and have different people step up," Saints coach Chad LaDue said. "We still feel we can be one of the top teams in our region. We're always excited to play Clinton, and it's typically a classic. Our first game was just that."
Clinton, however, is fighting for a playoff berth in the Region III Tournament next month. After concluding the first semester on a five-game winning streak, the Cougars have only managed to win four of their last nine games.
During a three-game span beginning Jan. 20 and wrapping up Jan. 26, the squad lost all three contests by a combined five points.
"We got back on track last week with back-to-back wins over Fulton-Montgomery and Hudson (Valley)," Clinton coach Kevin Daugherty said. "The three close games that we lost, they were tough to take, but we played well. All considered, we've played well our last five games in a row."
The Saints are led in scoring by Carder, who ranks first in Region III with 23.2 points per game. The former Northeastern Clinton standout recently eclipsed 1,100 points and is the program's all-time leading scorer, while leading the team in rebounding at 12.6 boards per game.
North Country owns three players among the top-10 best 3-point shooters in the region. Ian Henderson, Steven Poulter and Jared Heden have all shot over 42 percent from the perimeter.
"It's a game that comes down to the final few possessions," LaDue said. "We're just excited and hopeful everything goes well. I'm sure they're looking to get us back."
With a win, the Saints would clinch a Region III playoff spot with four regular season games remaining.
Kyree Hull and Mykell Crecko lead the Cougars in scoring at 14 points per game, while Chris Miller is second at 13.4.
Crecko is tied for first with Carder in Region III for rebounds per game (12.6) and Jamie Davison ranks sixth with five assists per contest.
Hull, who is sidelined for two weeks with a concussion, will be out of tonight's lineup.
"Obviously, we want to control 3-point shooting and try our best with (Carder) inside," Daugherty said. "He has created matchup problems for everyone in our region for the last two years. They have great balance and take care of the basketball. Their experience is a plus, too.
"I'm hoping there will be a playoff-like atmosphere. There should be excitement on campus. In my eight years at Clinton, I could tell you numerous stories about different games and strange outcomes, or a certain player that wasn't a premier player stepping up. You just don't know what to expect in these games."TWITTER For live coverage of tonight's contest between the Saints and Cougars, follow @Ricky_PRSports on twitter.

The city of Arvada, not unlike most urban cities in Colorado, has a diverse population of wildlife. Arvada is home to raccoons, beavers, coyotes, skunks, squirrels, bats, woodpeckers, snakes, and fox, just to name a few.
Many of the wild animals that live in the city, however, are rarely seen, unless there is some sort of conflict. Conflict usually occurs when the wild animal causes damage to property, or makes its home too close to human habitation.
The space available to our wildlife is shrinking and it's not uncommon to have some encounter with Arvada's wild side. Nevertheless, in most cases people and wildlife can coexist.
Nearly any wild animal, given the proper food source, water and cover, can make a home among humans. Intentional or inadvertent feeding is the major cause of most wildlife problems. Animals will find easy ways to accommodate their needs if they can, it's easier to get into garbage or eat out of the dog/cat dish then have to hunt or dig for food. Wild animals also make their home close to their food source and in some cases that means the invasion of human dwellings.
Don't give wildlife the opportunity to get into your garbage. Store it in metal or plastic containers with tight-fitting lids, and put trash out only when it's scheduled to be picked up. Always feed your animals inside.
Keep in mind wild animal's behavior changes with each season.
Babies are typically born in the spring and become most active during the summer. There are very few cases of abandoned wildlife, and usually the parent is near by; for example, when baby birds began to fly they often spend time on the ground before they perfect their flying skills.
Humane Solutions:
In most cases, the damage caused by wild animals is avoidable.
A pro-active approach to preventing damage from occurring is the most humane method to wildlife problems.
The key to preventing problems is to animal proof your house, which is excluding the animal from unwanted areas. Animal proofing should be an on-going household chore and become part of the maintenance schedule for homes, out-buildings, and yards. Here are some animal proofing tips:
- Cover window wells with commercially available grates or bubbles, or make a cover yourself using inch hardware cloth or chicken wire.
- Close holes around and under the foundation of your home and out buildings, so that animals will not be tempted to homestead. Bury wire mesh one to two feet deep in places where animals might gain access.
- Screen fireplace chimneys and furnace, attic and dryer vents, and keep dampers closed to avoid "drop-in" guests. Chimneys are just like hollow trees and make an ideal home for raccoons. For this reason alone chimney caps, either commercial or homemade, should be checked annually.
- Fence gardens and cover fruit trees with commercially available netting to protect your harvest. Scare crows, hardware ground cloth and lights are other deterrents that can be effective in gardens. Also, cover homemade fish ponds at night.
- Check locations near the roof for rotten or loose boards, sealing overhangs where a determined squirrel would gain access to your home. If you find a location where you have a hole, seal it with either 1/2" metal hardware wire or sheet metal flashing.
- Seal all cracks and holes larger than inch wide to keep out rats, mice, bats and snakes.
Never feed the wildlife! (Even bird seed can attract raccoons and skunks, which are the most adapted urban wildlife animals.) Wild animals can find food on their own and will cause fewer problems for you and your neighbors if left alone.
Never touch or pick up injured, sick or dead wildlife.
If an ounce of prevention is still not enough and an unwanted animal moves in, please call Arvada Animal Management for more specific ways to humanely encourage them to leave. You can also call the Division of Wildlife at 303-297-1192.
Wildlife Fast Fact:
Many wildlife populations increase and decrease naturally, in response to available food, nesting areas, etc. Trapping or relocating wildlife leaves a void for other wildlife to move into the territory.
If too many voids are created by trapping and relocating the animals, pregnancy rates and the number of young born per litter will increase in order to fill the voids. So, this quick fix to wildlife problem's, may actually cause larger problems down the line.
In addition, trapping and relocating animals may result in unnecessary suffering, starvation and ultimately their death.
