I listened to CNN news on the hour today. USA announced 8000 troops will be pulled out of Iraq by Feb. Good news! Except on CNN. Instead they said things are so bad there we can't have a full pullout. I turn your channel off at the top of every hour. CNN is the worst news service you could have. Can you replace with something that is not so biased?

The anti-smokers are guilty of flagrant scientific fraud for ignoring more than 50 studies, which show that human papillomaviruses cause over ten times more lung cancers than they pretend are caused by secondhand smoke. Passive smokers are more likely to have been exposed to this virus, so the anti-smokers' studies, because they are all based on nothing but lifestyle questionnaires, have been cynically DESIGNED to falsely blame passive smoking for all those extra lung cancers that are really caused by HPV.
The anti-smokers have committed the same type of fraud with every disease they blame on smoking and passive smoking, as well as ignoring other types of evidence that proves they are lying, such as the fact that the death rates from asthma have more than doubled since their movement began.

Cancer of all types is always about carrying "emotional rage" within the subconscious mind. There is an emotional piece of the ego that acts as a barrier or emotional block. Through personal growth work… healing and forgiveness can take place and the dynamics that cause the cancer can slowly and incrementally be released from the body. You have to get to the emotional root of the dis-ease within the psyche. It helps to have a wise holistic spiritual teacher who can help you get into communion with your Higher Self. Raise your energetic vibration to experience wellness and joy.

Kevin Schamehorn had impressive numbers 45 Goals and 345 PiM the same year year with the k-wings and Neil Meadmore racked up good numbers throughout his career 48 goals and P.I.M. totals of 380 P.I.M. and 267 P.I.M. both with the admirals and k-wings. However there is never any real proof of the value of a player as the Pro Game is a Fine Line a cutting edge of intense competition not easily defined by just statistics. They are real gladiators in a Hockey Arena that sometimes play 90-100 games in the I.H.L. I played Major Junior Canadian Hockey and I salute all Pro Players especially the Minor Leagues and how about Coach Bruce Boudreau getting to the N.h.l. after serving most Minor Leagues as a player.

Do we Care about our Fellow Citizens?
"Yes" is the answer that most people would provide. However, is it actually true? If that was the case, there would have been no hungry, unemployed, or deprived people. As long as a society has people who are deprived of basic needs such as job, food, home, and medical facilities, we cannot state that we care about our fellow citizens. A perfect example, where a few of us show our uncaring attitude towards deprived fellow citizens, is the opposing of a casino in a place where thousands of people are jobless. In a place where more than 20 percent of the population is unemployed, the setting up of a casino is seen as the only ray of hope. By opposing the establishment of a casino in such an area, we are in fact taking away the only chance that the jobless people have to earn legitimate money. We are bluntly letting all these jobless people know that we do not care for them.
If you sit back and think in broader terms, a casino in a place where thousands of families do not get to eat one square meal in a day, is a boon. It is a gift to all the jobless people and will present them with an opportunity to earn bread and butter for their family. A job at the casino will help thousands of parents send their children to good schools and colleges so that the children do not face the same plight in their lives. In addition to all this, a casino will also thrust millions of dollars into the local economy. With an abundance of funds, the local authorities can provide superior medical and health care facilities to people. Better schools and colleges can be set up in the area and more shops and utility stores can be established. The local authorities will also be able to set up small scale industries in the area that will provide more job opportunities to the locals. All this is possible with a right beginning. Yes, the setting up of a casino in such an area is the beginning that can lead to a prosperous future.
Therefore, instead of opposing the establishment of a casino in such a place, we should rather support it. We should make our jobless fellow citizens believe that we care about them and want to help them. We should assist them in getting out of this financial crisis so that even they can live like we do. By doing so, we will present a much more responsible and mature picture of the present generation. We can set an example for others to follow so that even they can extend a helping hand towards the needy fellow citizens. By simply supporting the setting up of a casino in a place where thousands of people are jobless, we will prove it to the world that we care about our fellow citizens. Let us take up this opportunity to help all jobless people and present them with a new and happy beginning.

If that were the case, he would not have put America, and those American lives he sacrificed in his invasion of another country. His Presidency was by far the worst in American history, next to those who presided over the Viet Nam war. He caused too much destruction in America and the world. They should put an asterik next to his name like they now do in baseball stats. He literally sucked all the feeling out of being an American, he stole the neighbor out of the neighbor hoods in America. Will we as Americans actually take the time to think, to reflect and feel what it is like to know the useless loss of life Bush and his cronies literally wasted? The next great Artist, father, Pope, uncle, some family has a loss, a hole in their family, someone is missing from the picture. But we do not really get it, after all we have seen and become a part of what we allowed this individual to cause, the destruction he has created socially for all Americans. One thing we should all be glad of, and that is that he no longer is President.

I just don't know where they will end up. If they end up in the USHL, the fan base will be in for a disappointment. Low American juniors isn't exactly great hockey, it's a step up from Michigan high school hockey. And the AHL already has their max number of teams for the upcoming year. Furthermore who is your rival, what team will come in and give your attendance a boost when you have a losing year. The closest teams are Toledo & Cinncy… these are also the only other teams in the midwest. Are these teams going to give the fans the same emotion as Fort Wayne, Muskegon, Port Huron…
But to an extent I'm a jealous hockey fan… I have wished Ft. Wayne would move leagues. I grew up in Fort Wayne during the 90's when the hockey in the IHL was beyond words, and now I live in Augusta, Georgia where our local ECHL hockey team folded this past year and it looks like we will be with out hockey for at least another year… or until the no name SPHL accepts the city into there league. Just for s&g's the ECHL hockey that I saw here in the south was not great hockey, not even good hockey.
Stephen Heisler on

How do you figure that the USHL is "low American juniors"?? The USHL is at the top of USA Hockey's Junior program. Is it on par with the OHL. Maybe.
If that is the way the Wings go, it would almost be a step up from the IHL. USHL players are pure prospects and are often drafted. The K-Wings would instantly become one of the jewels of the level of play.
Maybe you should do just a bit of homework before posting like this.
Smacky McConverse on
June 6th, 2009 12:26 pm
USHL is low American juniors? It's at most a half-step below the major junior hockey being played in Saginaw and Plymouth. Go look at their recent NHL draft record. It's only going to get better with the NTDP coming into the league.
Michigan HS hockey isn't much to look at. If those players had any serious talent they'd be playing for the best midget and junior (USHL and NAHL) teams.

about 2/3s of the USHL players go on to NCAA hockey, so it isn't a terrible league, saying it is a half step below the OHL would probably be right. Best case would be that K-Zoo, Muskegon, Flint and Fort Wayne, joined up with the ohio teams of the ECHL to develp a centeral division of that league.

I don't understand how Paul Pickard was one of the people that voted Elmira out of the new IHL because of travel concerns. Yet now they are going to be in the same division as Elmira. Oh yeah and having to travel a ton because only 2 other teams are in the same proximity as the other 5 in the IHL were. Also does K-Zoo expect to win at all, they couldn't win in the IHL.

We in muskegon will miss the rivalry and maybe someday meet again….good luck

I went to the meeting at Morepark school and it did not appear that anyone was in favor of the sewer system. I guess that I get as many people as I can to write our Congressman as possible.

Actually, Indianapolis just voted down a smoking ban. States are becoming more wise to the propaganda of tobacco control.
In 1998 the World Health Organization completed one of the largest international case-control studies of secondary smoke and lung cancer ever undertaken. When the report was finished however it didn't get the usual big flashy press release and news conference most of these reports do. Instead it was up to a UK Telegraph reporter, Victoria MacDonald, to uncover what it had found and publicize it.
This huge study, the one that had been counted on to deliver a final condemnation of secondary smoke's connection to lung cancer instead found NO significant connection for adults. And when it looked at children the news for Antismokers was even worse: the one, single, significant result of the entire study was that children of smokers eventually got 22% *LESS* lung cancer than children of nonsmokers!
The WHO was not happy with the results of its study being released in that way so they immediately turned around and issued a big bold headlined press release declaring 'PASSIVE SMOKING DOES CAUSE LUNG CANCER, DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU', " despite the fact that their own study was not even able to find minimally significant support for such a claim.
The abstract, some analysis, and the link to the full study for your own examination can be found through the courtesies of Michael McFadden and Audrey Silk at the NY Clash site at the bottom of:
So take one thing from the WHO's antismoking press release as fact: "DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU!" Their actual study did NOT support smoking bans

what took so long. congratulations to the board to finally attempt to balance the budget. better late then ever.
Maybe the city of Three Rivers should do the same.
The county would not be in a budget shortfall if the county commission would do what we voted them in more and do what is best for the whole county, not just for a selected few.
it is clear that its long past due that they should of start cutting some of the fat from these departments and more, a long time ago.
go into any of these office's. 10 people standing around or sitting around gabbing and 1 person waiting on you with a line 2 miles long.
or try to call one of these offices where everyone is sitting around gabbing and all you get a answering machine and if they do answer or do call back you get the drift from them like "why are you bothering me"
its time a cost effective expert comes in and finds out what position should go or what person should go.
Never have or pay 5 people to do a job that one person can do. Especially since 4 of them are not working while on the payroll anyway.

It appears that unless benefits from Tier III are receivable in the first week of December that there could be at least a week's pay that will not be retroactive due to the one week extension to Tier II. Otherwise, from November 8th to lets say December 14th (mid December) would be a 5 week retroactive check. Nice ; )

the presa was not specifically bred for fighting, it was originally bred for guarding of castles/farms and holding/herding farm animals. I've been breeding Presa's for years, they carry a docile temperament (yes, they can get aggressive, just as they can be adorable.. just the same as any other k-9), proper training is a must.. undeniably one of the top guard dogs for your home you can purchase !!
the presa is nothing like the "pitbull".. only true similarities are looks, and even those aren't exact, being thst the presa is much taller (2.5 ft) and weighs much more (115-160lbs)..
I can go on & on

This sewer system is such a joke, for future growth is how it is being sold. The only people that are getting a vote in this are the lake property owners. I own property across the street from the lake and have been paying taxes for 30 years. I haven't recieved a survey card yet so I guess I am not included in the 250 people that are being asked for an opinion. This is funny cause 250 people are about the amount that live directly on the lake, lets survey the total tax payers that are effected by this farce.
If any of you went to the meeting at Moorepark Elementry School you could obviously hear that the majority didn't agree. Some silly woman got up and tried to sell some story about her grandfather not wanting the lake polluted. I would like to see were she lived and how she has been contributing to the sewage problem. Her house is probably over sized for the lot it is in. That story she tried to sell was the best Dale Carnegie story I ever heard,

Asian carp have ruined some great idaho fly fishing streams by infiltrating the headwaters for spawning. After they get in the stream systems they fill up all of the big holes and runs in the stream and displace the native trout. Preserving the Great Lakes from these fish is important because once they are in, good luck getting them out!

I hope you beat it. I'm from Central Ohio and we beat one down here. They talk about some perceived milk shortage that doesn't exist. Make no mistake, the number one product from these places in manure, NOT milk. Vreba Hoff has more environmental spills and fines that they can't pay. This company is in serious financial trouble and if they can cut corners, you bet they will. Also, think about your water supply. A lactating cow drinks about 40 gallons of water per DAY. That's ONE cow. They wanted to put 5000 of them down here. It would have generated more waste than the entire city of Dayton, OH. CAFO's are bad for everyone including the animals. I'm no environmentalist, but I prefer family farms where the owners have been here for years and have a genuine interest in the community where they live.

The state can't balance the budget, yet we continue to spend tax money on projects that duplicate services. We already have guardrails. The new system costs car owners more in repairs when we come in contact with these new barriers, plus we have to pay more in taxes to put them up. If you can't stop this project at least put the barriers down the middle of the median to keep vehicles from crossing over. This would also greatly reduce the damage the new barriers cause because they would be further off the road.
I truly feel very bad for anyone who has had a loved one killed or injured by a vehicle crossing over the median and hitting a vehicle going in the opposite direction, but I seriously wonder if the frequency/percentage of that happening is great enough to spend so much money on something that seems to have such a low probability of happening. Folks, if you're tired of your taxes going up to pay for such boondoggles, tell your state representatives you've had enough.
Stupidity shouldn't be license to spend our tax money.That person that sued McDonald's because the hot coffee burned their legs should have been thrown out of court right along with their lawyer. Our planning commissions seem to be so afraid of someone suing them that they are willing to go to any expense to avoid litigation and it is at our expense. Please tell your planning commissions to stop the madness. Hold people accountable for their own actions.
Use that two million dollars to put our police and firefighters back on the job.

I really feel that this child was let down in every way. She lived in a negative environment that seemed to show no positive reinforcement, and there was no compassion for this precious child with special needs. From what I have observed during the trial they acted as though they were inconvenienced by the child (Calista),because she had special needs. She didn't seem to have the pleasure of experiencing a loving, caring home that cattered to someone with her special needs. That was very unfortunate for her and I just hope she is at peace now.
God Bless You Calista!

leave the kids alone mr lori. we already have enough laws on the books. at some point we need to draw the line and i think that time came and past some time ago. the texting while driving ban is a perfect example of an unnecessary law. people should know better, and if they don't, police already had every right to pull the person over for driving carelessly. all this bill will do is put more young drivers on the road at the same time since they can no longer carpool with their buddies. stop wasting our tax dollars with this crap!
number one reason you don't talk to police – there are thousands of laws on the books and if you're like me, you only know a tiny percentage of them, so the last thing you want to do is open your mouth and unknowingly incriminate yourself. too many freakin laws people…

here is some news the reason that Kellie Pickler and Chris Young cancelled their concerts in St. Joseph Mi at the fair is because they had prior contracts with Rascall Flatts. funny thing is the tour is being called the unstoppable tour. you know I love all of these singers trully but I cant imagine cancelling on true die hard fans, who are willing to sit in the rain and watch these performers. Atleast thats what the past residence of St. Joseph county mi have done to see their stars. it always rains on fair week
Maybe rascall flatts should perform with all of them and make it up to the poor folks of michigan. but I dont think there is enough money in it for them.
Home town artists seems like they want everyone to believe this but they dont want anything to do with them once they make the big time…

Hi, I am a 58 yr. old paramedic attending a community college in southeastern Michigan. I am currently applying for nursing school in the fall of 2011. I feel quite vulnerable when I have to leave my handgun in my vehicle when attending classes. I am quite pleased to discover that Sen. Richardville is introducing this legislation, and pray it will be passed into law. The fact that the terrorists are going to carry out their objective, and have in the past, leaving psychological scars on those who have to endure the outcome, should not occur in this country. The law-abiding citizens who have achieved the right to carry concealed, can only add to the security of the colleges in Michigan. The students who were involved in these terroristic events (dead or alive ) must have felt totally helpless as the tragedy unfolded in front of them. The chance of more of these horrific occurances may or may not happen in the future, hopefully with this kind of legislation adopted, the outcome will give students a chance to protect themselves and their fellow students. Thank you for all you are trying to accomplish in the name of self preservation for the students and future of tomorrow.

Dear Kathy, Richard and Sharon,
Heartfelt prayers of comfort to you at the passing of your dad. He was such a generous and kind soul, and the measure of integrity. His presence will be missed, but his essence remains with all of us.

Thank you for your recent story on the use of gas chamber euthanasia at the St. Joseph County Animal Control shelter. However, I did want to point out that while Tom Miller, director of St. Joseph County Animal Control, states that "…it costs about $2.50 to gas up to four animals, while an injection costs $5 per animal," in fact a recent study by the American Humane Association found that the use of Euthanasia by Injection (EBI) is not only more humane, it is less costly than gas for shelters to use.
Using data from an animal sheltering organization in North Carolina, American Humane Association found that the number of dogs and cats euthanized in 2007 was 5,427. The study shows that the cost to use carbon monoxide gas is $4.98 per animal. The cost to use carbon monoxide poisoning without a tranquilizer is $4.66 per animal. The cost to use EBI, however, was only $2.29 per animal. Cost figures from North Carolina are comparable to other states, including Michigan. Thus, the assessment was that EBI is more cost effective than gas.
I have attached the cost analysis worksheet with more detailed information about this study, as well as a factsheet with information about the use of gas euthanasia in Michigan shelters. I also invite you to visit Michiganders for Shelters Pets, at http://www.voiceless-mi.org/m4sp, to learn about our campaign to end this inhumane method of euthanasia.
Thank you so much, and please don't hesitate to contact me at 517-515-3839 or email@example.com with any questions.

What a disgusting attitude you have, Tom Miller. Please join the rest of us in the 21st century and stop inhumanely gassing animals. I hope the citizens (who pay for Tom Miller's salary and the painful and long deaths of each animals killed by gas) stand up against this atrocity. Time for a new animal control officer in St. Joseph County!

The article quotes Miller as saying he would "take up the financial offer" if a law is passed to outlaw gassing. Say what? Hmmmm, does he mean when the county by law has to stop gassing animals and has to use lethal injection, then he would take the incentive of $5,000 to stop gassing the animals at the pound? What exactly does the word "incentive" mean to Miller anyway? Isn't an incentive something which is given to someone to either do or not do something voluntarily?

This is a sad day when someone who is responsible for sheltering animals has to resort to this sadistic behavior. We are fourth from the bottom on the list of shelters in the state for adoptions–I don't like what I see-I will be calling my commissioner. HSUS will come in to help set up a new system, American Humane will buy back the gas chamber, ARF will pay for injections if they are needed–why is AC not using every available channel to change the current system?? They are not animal friendly –and there a lot people out there willing to help, so what's the problem? Let's work together to solve this.

Half of all animals who enter shelters do not leave alive. I think the least we can do as a society is make their deaths peaceful and humane.
But for those who only care about humans, you should know the shelter workers are put in danger by the gas chamber. One of the costs Tom Miller is not including in his assessment is the maintenance involved with the chamber. An old or improperly maintained gas chamber can leak poisonous gas and even explode.
The gas chamber is a cruel and dangerous method of euthanasia. St. Joe County would be better off without it.

I was really hoping that legislation that fizzled in committee in December would have passed, out lawing the use of gas in all Michigan Animal Controls'. There has been an arrangement established with my help between Tom Miller and Dr. Sands' to humanely euthanize unadoptable dogs due to aggression, health or age at Dr. Sands' Crossroads Veterinary Hospital. 2,000 pounds of the chemical needed for this operation to begin was purchased through Dr. Sands'. I was under the impression that it was working out smoothly and that soon we would be asked to purchase more of the chemical. For various reasons a dog being euthanized humanely is still a rare occurance. If you are interested in animal welfare you may want to address Tom Miller, of animal control and Dr. Sands' of why, after the chemicals were ordered and PAID for so few dogs are receiving lethal injection rather than carbon monoxide gas.

Once it is requred by Law to switch to injections, Why would Tom Miller expect the $5,000 offerd by AHS…..seems that once the law is in effect, you should not get anything for having to switch as you would be required BY LAW to use it anyway.
D. Hamilton on
April 13th, 2011 7:20 pm
I think St. Joe Co.needs to do what is humane for the animals and not use the gas.
It is bad enough that we have to kill the animals at all.
Tom Miller have you even looked into the cost. I bet you have not sat down and done a study this year. Maybe it is time for a new leadership in Animal Control.
Kelly on
April 14th, 2011 4:12 am
First of all I want to say thank you to Jill Fritz. Thank you for the information about the costs to euthanize.
And second of all, I DO NOT understand Mr. Miller!! He is being offered $5,000 toward a new way to euthanize….and he won't take it??? What is wrong with him?! How has he been the animal control officer for this long? I also believe it is time for a new AC officer.
To: Mr. Miller- please, please, PLEASE if you care, or have ever cared out these lost abandoned pets, please change the way they are put down. It's bad enough they have had to suffer physical and emotional pain from being tossed aside like garbage, why make their last moments on earth painful and scary as well?

It is amazing that gas chambers were outlawed for prisons because they represent cruel and unusual punishment because of the practice of gassing is inhumane.
An animal gets lost or turned in and not claimed we punish them in the most in humane way we can. Way to go Tom Miller!!
allison lee on
April 14th, 2011 9:56 pm
This practice of gassing is despicable. It is not a question of medical technology or funding. The only impediment to the animals' humane demise is Mr. Tom Miller. This is an example of small town government gone wrong. Resistance to change stands in the way of humane euthanasia. Write to your county commissioners at

I have been told by someone who has been in the vicinity of the St. Joseph County Animal Control that the terrible agonizing sounds from the animals being gassed are almost more than can be borne. That doesn't seem humane to me.
Lynda Molter on
April 15th, 2011 8:12 am
Let's go a step beyond humane euthanasia. We need to work together as a community to make destroying these wonderful animals unnecessary. Our county needs a new facility. I am working on a foster care network to facilitate getting the animals out of AC, to the vet, s/n operations and into foster care to prepare them for their forever homes. I need your help, there will be openings for volunteer foster homes, transporters, and office workers. I am sure that every single person commenting on this news article has a talent that can be used to help the animals that are in the county's custody. It is useless to play the blame game. Join me to take positive action. Feel free to contact me via e mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

With the incredible efforts of the volunteers of the Animal Rescue Fund for St. Joe County, they have saved so many animals from being "gassed". Inmates are sent from the county jail to work at animal control and I doubt they enjoy this part of their job either. No choice there either. Tom Miller actually seems like a compassionate man. But, his compassion is misplaced. He lets the animal owners of St.Joe County get away with far too much. Perhaps if the abusive, cruel pet owners could be gassed. The ones who have choices are not making the right ones. We need stricter laws, judges and prosecutors who will follow through against the ones who put the animals in this situation. IF I wanted to die, I have a choice to go out with a bang or go quietly. Dear god, don't let me end up at animal control. 2011—really?
Nancy on
April 15th, 2011 8:47 am
It breaks my heart to think that the dogs and cats in our county that are unfortunate enough to end up at Animal Control are being tended to by someone that has to be ordered BY LAW to be compassionate. I'm glad this is finally out in the open and the citizens of St. Joseph county know the mindset of Tom Miller and others at Animal Control. As caring, taxpaying citizens, we need our voices heard and we need change!

The enforcement of regulations set by entities other than the St. Joseph County Animal Control may not be performed by the St. Joseph County Animal Control.
The St. Joseph County Animal Control does not enforce pet or animal rules, provisions and/or regulations set by neighborhood charters, apartment complexes or mobile home parks.

I think this is awful. All animals deserve a chance. My niece talked her mom into taking a dog in to find it a home that was headed to this awful place. I adopted this dog & she is wonderful. I wish everyone with a pet whether it be a dog or cat would get it spayed/neutered. I am a part of Animal Rescue Fund and anyone needing help can contact us and we will help them so there is no more unwanted Puppies, Dogs, Kittens & Cats to end up at Animal Control. Besides eliminating unwanted pets it helps prevent some types of cancers also. firstname.lastname@example.com To get help with spay/ neutering I will get you names & phone numbers of who to contact.

Please check the facts in the first two statements quoted in this report. I know from talking with the trustees from the St Joe County jail that they put the animals into the gas chamber. They are normally not even supervised. Please ask for the name of the county vet that alledgedly goes over to animal control and places the animal into the chamber.
D. Hamilton on
April 18th, 2011 11:33 am
What is the name of the vet and does he or she have a schedule as to when they come?
D. Hamilton on
April 18th, 2011 11:37 am
Also to add, maybe it is time for a different vet and if it was so easy why do we give injections on death row? They say it is more humane. Is it just humane for the death row inmates and not the animals?
Nancy Eigenhouse on
April 18th, 2011 11:54 am
I am not sure how anyone could reasonably defend using the gas chamber over "lethal injection."
I would recommend that those who are opposed to the use of the gas chamber (which by the way only a minimal number of Michigan counties still use) consider contacting State Senator Rick Jones (R) who was a sponsor to House Bill 6042 in the 2010 session. That bill would have outlawed the use of gas chamber for pets. Senator Jones is now the Majority Caucus chair!
According to "Michigan Capitol Confidential" (A News Services for the people of Michigan from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy), July 11, 2010 , Jones was quoted as saying "How some counties in Michigan euthanize their pets can give the state a black eye and hurt tourism."
Hopefully, with active support from constituents, the Michigan legislature will finally pass a bill this year!
A. NONY Mous on
April 18th, 2011 12:07 pm
Someone might want to check this out for themselves…because unless something has changed recently, it's simply not true. I'd like to know when this new practice was put into place with the vet. When (what date) did a vet start putting the dogs in the chamber? And who is this vet? I'd like to know the name of him/her. This must be something that just took effect because it's always been the trustees from the jail who were responsible for that job along with feeding the animals and cleaning their cages. I've been there on days when I've been told not to go in the garage because they were putting animals down. And I applaud those trustees who really cared for the animals like their own. They HATED gassing them in the chamber and it's my understanding that it's not always one at a time, either. Put a bunch in and turn it on. Take them out..stick them in a plastic bag and throw them in a freezer to await a trip to the crematorium. It might just be time for new blood at Animal Control and ones who really care about the animals. It's pretty sad that there are workers at Animal Control who don't even like animals and can't stand a barking dog. Dogs in quarantine, which is close to the office, who bark too much get sprayed in the face with a water bottle so as to not upset employees. So,all you humans tell all your dog friends that if they are going to get lost and they end up at Animal Control…don't bark or you'll get a face full of water, and your days might be numbered. Barking dogs are not liked well there…imagine that…a dog who barks, especially one who is nervous about being there in the first place. I believe it's time for some changes.
Nancy Eigenhouse on
April 18th, 2011 12:22 pm
Oh, YES! I just talked with State Senator Jones' office. It is my understanding that after May, Senator Jones plans to re-introduce a bill to outlaw the use of the gas chamber!!!
Pease, after this bill is introducted, contact your representatives (both state house and state senate) and ask that they join in supporting this bill to its final passage into law! : )
Nancy on
April 18th, 2011 12:39 pm
Mr. Miller, please name the veterinarian that is under contract with the county to perform euthanizations, and please publish that written, signed contract between he/she and the county.
Give us facts, Mr. Miller. How often does this veterinarian come to the shelter to perform euthanasia by method of gassing?
According to the Michigan Department of Agriculture, in 2009 intake was 1134, 315 adoptions, 176 return to owner, and 356 were euthanized. Your Animal Control is listed with a 43% save rate, all public record.
What are your statistics regarding cats?

Somehow, I find this whole news announcement rather odd. Didn't the city just enthusiastically endorse spending money for a skateboard park?
Unfortunately, as my memory serves me the "petting zoo" ( or actually in general the "park animals") have been the target of cut backs off and on for decades. Perhaps before I die, the issue of caring for and maintaining the well being of those animals which the city "accumulates" at Scidmore Park will either be guaranteed without question (by being written into the city's charter) OR the city will once and for all rid themselves of ALL those animals which are held "captive" at Scidmore Park by placing them in reputable and regulated animal sanctuaries throughout the nation!

|Diamond Hawks Earn At-Large To NCAA's
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Regular season Colonial Athletic Association champion UNCW earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Baseball Championships on Monday and will compete later this week along with Elon, Army and host Virginia at the Charlottesville Regional.
For the Seahawks it was their third at-large bid and marks their sixth trip to the postseason overall since 2003. In 2003, the Seahawks also earned an at-large bid and reached the finals of the Baton Rouge Regional hosted by LSU.
The Seahawks will face longtime rival Elon, who made a tremendous run through the Southern Conference tournament to win the league's automatic bid. In a bit of irony, the Phoenix also announced last week that the school will join the CAA beginning in 2014-15.
Joining the Seahawks in the NCAA tournament from the CAA are tournament champion Towson and tournament and regular season runner-up William & Mary. Towson will compete in the Chapel Hill regional with top-seeded North Carolina while the Tribe plays in the Raleigh regional, hosted by NC State.
The last time the CAA had three schools playing in the NCAA tournament was 2001 when William & Mary (Clemson Regional) won the tournament title and advanced to the postseason along with East Carolina (Wilson Regional) and VCU (Baton Rouge Regional). The CAA also sent three representatives in 1995 (James Madison, Richmond and Old Dominion) and 1999 (East Carolina, Richmond and VCU).
All games of the Charlottesville Regional will be broadcast on ESPN3. A schedule with times will be released later on Monday.

Beni Ourain Rug
