Cookeville Putnam County Animal Shelter
2105 West Jackson St.
Cookeville, TN 38501
(closed Sundays)
A Little About the Shelter....
~Adopt a Pet~ The CPCAS Adoption Outreach seeks to place all adoptable animals in loving, lifetime homes. In fact, we fancy ourselves as matchmakers, actually. Our matchmaking skills are free and are included with the price of adoption.
The care and safekeeping of our area's dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, ferrets and other domesticated animals is our first priority. CPCAS does not turn any Putnam County animal away.
Is your Pet Lost? We seek to reunite pet owners with their lost dogs or cats. Please stop by immediately after you realize your pet is lost! We can go over with you what we will need for a happy reunion! (The only way to be certain if your pet is at our shelter is to come see for yourself, in person!)
Remember that a collar and tag is your pet's best way of being reunited with you quickly! If your pet gets out of every collar tried, you might consider micro-chipping!
Our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) helps area citizens take better care of their pets by helping them vaccinate and sterilize their pets. This is the best and only proven way to stop pet over-population in our community.
Our Helping Hands Program goes into classrooms and teaches humane treatment and kindness for animals. We also encourage group tours at the shelter.
CPCAS works with the Cookeville Police Department and the Putnam County Sheriff's Department's Animal Control personnel in their efforts to enforce our animal control laws and investigate cruelty and neglect cases, and we house the animals they bring to us for safekeeping.
We will work with 501c3 (recognized) Rescue Groups who have applied to partner with our shelter. We will seek out Rescue Groups to add to our Partner List. This will increase the chances our animals have to be placed in another home.

Chris Buckley asks, 'They Eat Puppies, Don't They?'
"They Eat Puppies, Don't They?: A Novel" by Christopher Buckley
Author and satirist Christopher Buckley brings you more laughs after "Thank You for Smoking."
Buckley's newest book chronicles the adventures of "Bird" McIntyre as he tries to pit the American people against China in order to garner congressional approval of a secret weapons system. When he fails to find an actual reason to smear the country's reputation, he and his "sexy, outspoken neocon" cohort Angel Templeton fabricate a story for the Washington Press, alleging that China's secret service has plans to assassinate the Dalai Lama.
Rumor, intrigue, and close-calls abound as Bird and Angel navigate their way through a full-fledged propaganda campaign to pit the United States against China.
Christopher Buckley is here to discuss his latest work, and the art of storytelling.

Asking the wrong questions about the minimum wage
2 comments:
- Norman said...
Given how small a part of the labor force is subject to the minimum wage, combined with the number of aggregate shocks the labor market is prone to have, it never seems surprising to me that it's difficult to accurately identify an aggregate effect.
A much more important approach in my mind is whether introducing slack in some jobs gives employers of these positions enough slack to engage in things like racial discrimination (or to engage more freely than they could otherwise), as conventional theory suggests. Unemployment rates for teen in different racial groups seems to suggest this is the case, but that's far from conclusive evidence. - 10:56 AM
- Alan said...
The minimum wage is an obvious foundation in the eco structure. The distribution of eco activity is or was based on activity at the lower tier of the eco strata. The best example in history was the Souths insistence on the preservation of slavery to support there prosperity. I would not therefore negate the aggregate effects of the that portion, of substail size and its impact on the tiers of our eco system. OOPL

text: A friend of mine suggested the idea of making "Dark" Investigators to replace ones that are devoured, so I made up a few. The design scheme behind them is that they have pretty dramatic effects, but they're only accessible through chance. If you're in for a harder game you can house rule that replacement Investigators have to be chosen from among these guys, or if you want a real challenge you can just start out with them ;P

1. The LPGA Foundation announces scholarship winners
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., July 31, 2009 - The LPGA Foundation has announced their annual scholarship award winners for 2009. Four high-school seniors were selected for three scholarships,which will go toward their collegiate tuition assistance this fall: Lauren Kuhn, of Aberdeen, Wash., and Jordan Redfield, of Ft. Mitchell, Ky., were the recipients of the Marilynn Smith Scholarship, while Alison Pease, of Glastonbury, Conn., and Nicole Mooberry, of Norfolk, Neb., will receive the Dinah Shore Scholarship and Phyllis G. Meekins Scholarship, respectively. Criteria for each scholarship vary, but all candidates must demonstrate outstanding academic performance, leadership in school and community activities and active participation on her high school or community golf team.
Dinah Shore Scholarship
Alison Pease, an honor's student at Glastonbury (Conn.) High School and captain of their girls' golf team, has been named the 2009 recipient of the $5,000 Dinah Shore Scholarship. Since 1994, the scholarship has been awarded to a female high school senior who has demonstrated academic achievement while participating in golf during high school. Given annually by The LPGA Foundation, the scholarship is named in honor of the late entertainer and honorary member of the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame, Dinah Shore.
Pease's weighted GPA of 4.724 includes a straight-A report card during her high school career. Outside the classroom, she excelled in numerous extra-curricular activities, including being named a three-year letter-winner for the girls' golf team. On the course, she was named to the Central Connecticut Conference All-Academic Team and helped lead the team to an 11th-place showing at the Connecticut State Golf Tournament.
In addition to golf, Pease was captain of the varsity volleyball team, being named to the all-conference team. She also found time to be involved in the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS), which won a state competition; National Honor Society; and served as a mentor for the Glastonbury High School Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. For her community service, Pease also earned membership to the Key Club. Her community service included being a role model for the D.A.R.E. program, serving on the Teen Advisory Board for the Welles Turner Memorial Library and volunteering for the Migrant Farm Workers Health Care Project. She also worked as a youth soccer referee for the Glastonbury Hartwell Soccer Club.
During her senior year, Pease was named a National Merit semi-finalist and selected for the Brown book award as the most outstanding Glastonbury High School English student. Looking ahead to her collegiate career, Pease intends to pursue a double major in biology and philosophy at Yale University.
The Dinah Shore Scholarship is granted annually to a female high school senior who is pursuing a college education, but will not be playing collegiate golf. To qualify for the Dinah Shore Scholarship, an applicant must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2; must have played in a minimum of 50 percent of her high school golf team's scheduled events or have regularly played golf for the past two years; must have demonstrated leadership skills and/or extraordinary community affairs work; and must have applied to and been accepted into an accredited undergraduate academic program.
Phyllis G. Meekins Scholarship
The Phyllis G. Meekins Scholarship, valued at $1,250, has been awarded to Nicole Mooberry. The award - established in 2007 - is named after Meekins, a past LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP), and designated for a young woman from a recognized minority background.
Mooberry attended Norfolk Senior High School, competing on the varsity golf and varsity basketball squads all four years. Her senior year, she was selected captain of both teams. Her golf career has included being a four-time qualifier for the Class A Nebraska State Golf Tournament, never finishing lower than 11th with her best finish third place in 2008. She was also academic all-conference and all-state, thanks to her 4.02/4.0 GPA. At Norfolk Senior High School, she owns the record for most top-10 finishes (29) and lowest season average (78.6). She was a member of the NJGA North-South Junior Cup Team (2005-08) and recorded top-five finishes in the following events: Nebraska Girls Stroke Play and PGA Junior Championship (runner-up), Big "I" State Championship (third), USGA Junior Amateur (fourth) and won the NWAGA four-ball competition.
As well as being active in sports, Mooberry was involved in many extra-curricular activities. She was a three-year member of student council, Girls "N" Club, student leadership team and DECA. Mooberry also earned a four-year nod to the Principal's List All A's, while attending Norfolk Senior High School.
Mooberry, who has been accepted to Winthrop University where she will study environmental science, has further ambitions to obtain her Master's degree then attend law school to concentrate on environmental law.
The namesake of the scholarship, the late Phyllis Galloway Meekins, was a talented amateur golfer from 1950 to 1981, when she became a member of the LPGA T&CP. On that foundation, Meekins started PGM Golf Clinics, Inc., in 1973 for youth ages 7 to 18 years old, which has taught thousands of children life lessons through the game of golf.
Meekins was inducted into the National African American Golfers Hall of Fame in 1984 and was nominated for the 1993 LPGA Teacher of the Year. She was recognized by the National Golf Foundation (NGF) with the NGF Outstanding Service Award.
Marilynn Smith Scholarship
The 2009 recipients of the Marilynn Smith Scholarship are Lauren Kuhn, of Aberdeen, Wash., and Jordan Redfield, of Ft. Mitchell, Ky. Kuhn was a four-year member of the Weatherwax High School (Aberdeen) varsity golf team, including two years as the team captain and plans to attend Gonzaga University this fall. Redfield attended Beechwood High School (Ft. Mitchell), where she served as the varsity girls' golf team captain and accepted an offer to play collegiate golf at Georgetown University. This year marks the third time two scholarships were awarded, valued at $3,000 each.
Kuhn's success on her high school girls' golf team led to honors as a Wendy's High School Heisman national finalist, as well as being a four-year top-scholar athlete and all-league honoree. She qualified for the Washington State Golf Tournament for three years and to the league championship team for two years (2008-09). Kuhn also was recognized as the team's best putter for three years and set school records for best team and individual score.
When not on the links, Kuhn was involved in student government and was elected the senior class president. She was also president of the high school FBLA chapter and was elected secretary of the National Honor Society, and vice president of the FFA chapter. In 2006, she was recognized as a Washington State Outstanding Youth Volunteer. She was also was an all-state choir selection and voted "Most Likely to Succeed" by her classmates. Within the community, Kuhn won the 2008 Miss Grays Harbors Outstanding Teen, and gave her time via membership in the Sons of Norway, 7th Street Kids Theater Camps, United Methodist Church and Salvation Army. At Gonzaga University, Kuhn will pursue pre-dental studies and plans to attend the University of Washington for Dental School to become an orthodontist.
Redfield earned a spot on the Beechwood varsity girls' golf team as a seventh grader, qualifying for the Kentucky State Golf Tournament four years, winning the conference championship three times and being a two-time runner up at regionals. She has been successful in her national junior golf pursuits, recording top-five and top-10 finishes in events on the PGA Junior Series, as well in AJGA, FCWT and IJGT events.
Academically, Redfield excelled as an AP scholar (4.222 weighted GPA) and National Merit Commended Scholar. She was president of the National Junior Honor Society and vice president of National Honor Society and also participated in Latin Club and the JETS engineering competition. In the Ft. Mitchell community, Redfield founded the Tigers Helping Tigers tutoring program. She was also the chair of her church youth group's volunteer team. In her spare time, she enjoys classical study of piano, tutoring, literature, writing, and nutrition and fitness. She will attend Georgetown University in the fall, majoring in government with aspirations to later attend law school.

7. Scotland's Catriona Matthew wins RICOH Women's British Open
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, Lancashire, England, Aug. 2, 2009 - Catriona Matthew became the first-ever Scottish LPGA major championship winner at the RICOH Women's British Open. The 39-year-old mother of two carded a 3-under-par 285 (74-67-71-73) to record a three-stroke victory over Karrie Webb (77-71-72-68=288, even) at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club. The victory is Matthew's first major title and third-career LPGA Tour win.
"Coming up the last hole was a feeling I don't think I've ever had before. Just a tear in my eye trying to hold myself together for the last two putts," Matthew said, acknowledging the support she received from the fans throughout the week. "It's just … it really has not sunk in yet."
Matthew's day did not look promising through 10 holes following bogies on holes one, three and 10, but she turned everything around with three consecutive birdies on 13 through 15. Another bogey at 17 was a non-factor as the Scot already had the victory sealed. Matthew survived Sunday runs by a number of players, including LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame member Webb, who snuck into solo second place with a final-round 4-under-par 68. Paula Creamer (74-74-70-71=289, +1) - still searching for her first major championship title - was within striking distance, but a double bogey on 18 ended her chances of taking home a victory, as she tied for third with Hee-Won Han (77-73-69-70), Ai Miyazato (75-71-70-73) and U.S. Solheim Cup teammate Christina Kim (73-71-71-74).
Matthew's victory is even more impressive considering that she gave birth to her second daughter, Sophie, just 11 weeks ago, and this week marked just her second LPGA Tour event since. The Scot is the first RICOH Women's British Open winner from the United Kingdom since Karen Stupples won the event in 2004. With the victory, she takes home $335,000.

With her second place finish and $210,000 payday at the RICOH Women's British Open, LPGA Tour and World Golf Hall of Fame member Karrie Webb (77-71-72-68=288, even) became only the second player in LPGA Tour history to cross the $15 million mark in career earnings. Webb's tally of $15,065,471 is second only to fellow Halls of Fame member Annika Sorenstam ($22,573,192).
Also, 2009 Evian Masters champion Ai Miyazato (75-71-70-73=289, +1) crossed the $1 million mark in season earnings for the first time in her career. Tying her best LPGA career finish in a major championship last week with a tie for third at the RICOH Women's British Open, Miyzato earned $109,500 and is now fourth on the 2009 LPGA Official Money List with $1,030,900.
9. Jang cards final-round hole-in-one
Jeong Jang started her day off on the right foot with a hole-in-one on the 191-yard, par-3 first hole on Sunday at the RICOH Women's British Open. The 2005 British Open champion used a 4-hybrid to record her second-career LPGA ace. The 29-year-old finished the week tied for 25th at 8-over-par 296 (79-73-72-72).
On Friday, eventual RICOH Women's British Open champion Catriona Matthew (74-67-71-73=285, -3) became the 17th person in LPGA Tour history to card back-to-back eagles. The 39-year-old eagled the par-5 11th hole and then aced the 154-yard par-3 12th hole with an 8-iron for her third career LPGA hole-in-one. In doing so, Matthew became just the fourth person in LPGA Tour history to record back-to-back eagles with a hole-in-one included.
Both aces triggered pledges of 1000 trees to be planted as part of the Ricoh GIFT (Green Initiatives For Tomorrow) program. Last week, one tree was planted for every birdie, five for every eagle and 1000 for every hole-in-one or albatross for a total of 3,012 trees.
10. Matthew qualifies for Samsung World Championship
Catriona Matthew secured her place in the Samsung World Championship field after winning the RICOH Women's British Open, the final major of the LPGA Tour season. Matthew joins Eun-Hee Ji (U.S. Women's Open), rookie Anna Nordqvist (McDonald's LPGA Championship Presented by Coca-Cola), Brittany Lincicome (Kraft Nabisco Championship), Paula Creamer (defending champion) and Lorena Ochoa (2008 Vare Trophy winner), all of whom have already qualified to play in the elite 20-player field at the Samsung World Championship.
11. Matthew earns stay at Canyon Ranch
Catriona Matthew celebrated her victory at the 2009 RICOH Women's British Open with a trophy and received an all-inclusive stay for two at a Canyon Ranch resort. In a combined effort to promote health and overall well-being among Tour players, Canyon Ranch will provide every winner of an LPGA event with one all-inclusive stay at one of Canyon Ranch's two destination resorts.
12. Lammrish renews certification
John Lammrish, director of golf maintenance at LPGA International - home of the annual LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament - in Daytona Beach, Fla., has completed the renewal process for maintaining his status as a Certified Golf Course Superintendent (CGCS) with the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA). A 21-year GCSAA member, Lammrish is one of approximately 1,800 golf course superintendants worldwide who hold the CGCS status. To fulfill certification renewal requirements, a candidate must participate in 150 hours of continuing education and professional development.

Hello, I have a service berry tree I just purchased that came with something that appear to be nutrients/food in the form of green little balls. Does anyone know what these are? |

dig hole.. shake into bottom of hole.. plant properly.. and never fertilize a tree or shrub.. ever again .. proper water.. and proper planting is all they need see link on how to do it and the only reason to use it. is because its right there ... but its better in the bottom where the plant can grow to use it in the future .. rather than fertilizing a stressed newly planted plant ... ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Urban, the green color of the slow release prills is indicative of a very long lasting nursery product. Some of these are labeled for as long as long as twelve months. Ken is wrong about his assessment of the long term fertilizer needs of trees planted in the landscape. In many cases, tree roots and turfgrass roots co-mingle, so that trees have access to any products applied to the lawn. But, if fertilizers are not part of someone's lawn maintenance, an urban or suburban tree will need to be fertilized in some manner. |
Whether a tree needs to be fertilized or not depends on how you think. Trees need some nutrients which they get from the soil as well as from the leaves of tree. If the soil the tree grows in is properly fed, not necessarily "fertilized", the tree will grow strong and healthy. Too much fertilizer is as bad as too little. |

trees do not grow in pots.. the function of drenching/watering pots IN THE TRADE .. also makes all the nutrients flow out the bottom.. so a grower must add fert ... because he has to grow a tree in a pot for a long time to make it salable .... i will bet me shiny nickle.. that there are millions of trees growing in all but the most barren counties all across the USA.. and the world.. AND NO ONE FERTILIZES THEM .... so why should I????? if you are independently wealthy ... sure.. go spend the money ... have a bag of food for each your babies.. but to suggest they NEED it.. nonsense..

Ken, there is a huge difference in trees that are growing naturally and trees growing in a cultivated garden. In natural environments, trees (and any other plants) receive the benefit of a continuing organic mulch in the form of leaf and twig debris, dying annual plants and wildlife detritus, including poop and actual decomposing bodies. All the nutrients a plant could need are available. And in areas where there this organic matter is far more limited, the plants have either adapted to the sparser conditions or they struggle. In a cultivated garden, there is little of this organic material available. As gardeners, we tend to be overly meticulous in removing all that stuff because we consider it "messy". And even mulches we DO apply tend to be nutritionally limited. And because of both the manipulation of garden soils and the density and diversity of the plantings in a cultivated garden, often times nutrients ARE lacking. They are simply used up by the plants. As a horticultural consultant visiting 100's of gardens a year, I see it often. And it is often nitrogen that is lacking, especially in plantings away from any lawns. It is the most mobile of the primary plant nutrients, the least stable in the soil and the one most affected by lack of organic matter. To say trees never need fertilizing is far too overly generalized. Sometimes they do! It is not a crime to fertilize when necessary so stop implying that is :-)) And btw, trees most certainly do grow in pots..........All of my collection of trees (25+) grow in containers permanently and quite happily. And maybe you've heard about bonsai.......??? |
It's because you are 'all or nothing ", ken. Many new construction sites, including building sites for homes, have zero native top soil. The fill dirt is typically of the worst possible quality. Trees and shrubs planted in such soil will need nutritional support in order to be healthy. If a soil is deficient in macro or micro elements, a plant doesn't create them out of nothing. Do you think that they do? I've had to address declining trees on such sites countless times in my career. Based on soil testing, of course, as well other outward expressions of decline such as die back, bad leaf color, poor shoot growth, disease incidence, and pest invasion. IF the soil is reasonably healthy, trees can do fine without extra help. Sometimes the simple task of adding compost and/or a layer of mulch is all it takes. But sometimes, the existing soil just doesn't have what it takes. To deny that is simply your lack of experience. We mostly agree, ken. FAR more people abuse fertilizer than not. But you really shouldn't shout "never, ever fertilize trees or shrubs...never " is pretty crappy advice. Better to suggest that fertiliziation be based on the results of a soil test. It's great to encourage people to be conservative and to remind them that their permanent woody plants may not need fertilization. But "never, ever "? In every situation? |

Achieve 'Sporty-Chic' in your workouts!
The Jo Hansford Team are here to add style to your workout and help you achieve sporty chic in your training and Marathon running. Maybe this time it's not in heels, but it is still important to look good and feel great with our top marathon style up do's. Check out Stylist Roxy's top workout styles and follow her 'how-to's' to recreate yourself!
The Sleek Warm-Up Pony
Tie hair high up on your crown and secure with a strong hair band. Use Jo Hansford Illuminoil to smooth hair and comb back towards the hair band for a super sleek finish. Take a 1 cm section of hair from the pony tail and wrap around the hair band to cover. Secure with grips and hairspray. The sleek pony will look great with a headband too.
The Elite Double Braid
Create a centre parting in your hair down to the nape. Braid each side as far as the top of your neck before securing tightly together with bands. Plait the remaining pony tail and secure with a band. Twist the braid into a bun and secure with pins. Spray for extra hold. Try this style with wet hair to be left with relaxed waves after your marathon!
The Side Stride Plait
Prep your hair with mousse to give extra hold. Part your hair on the side and start plaiting along your hairline in a spiral direction round to the back of your head, securing the plait on the opposite side that you started. Finish with hairspray for extra hold.
The Cool-Down Bun
Prep hair with Jo Hansford Illuminoil and tie into a pony tail at your desired height. Place an invisible hair net over the pony tail and twist into a bun. Secure with pins. The hair net holds your hair into place keeping your style neat throughout your workout. Can be styled with a headband too!
It is essential that your hair is kept nourished throughout your training as hair can also become dehydrated. We would recommend using the Jo Hansford Protect & Shine Leave-In Conditioner (RRP £17.00, 150ml) beforehand for UV protection and extra conditioning for your hair when running outside.

A Buffalo man faces between five and 40 years in prison after a federal court jury convicted him Friday of possessing with the intent to distribute cocaine.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas S. Duszkiewicz and Frank T. Pimentel said Jesus Antonio Cotto, 43, was found to be in possession of about nine ounces of cocaine and a digital scale when he was initially stopped by police. They said a search of his home revealed another nine ounces of cocaine, another digital scale and a semi-automatic pistol.
Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny will sentence Cotto on Jan. 9.
Cotto's conviction is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Two of the most recognized financial terms are "Bull" and "Bear" markets – but what do they really mean, and how can you remember the difference between the two?
Like any profession, finance has developed its own colorful language.
Two of the most recognized terms are "Bull" and "Bear" markets- but what do they really mean?
- A bull market is a general rise in stock prices or more specifically, an index such as the "Dow" or the S&P 500. While there is no precise definition for a bull market, it is characterized by a dramatic increase in overall stock prices over an extended time period.
- A bear market is when there is a general fall in stock prices. The classic definition of a bear market is a 15% drop in the value of the stock market that lasts for more than six months.
- You may occasionally also hear about a "correction". These are defined as a drop of 10% in the overall markets.
But, why call it "bull" and "bear"? And how can you remember the difference between the two? Ironically, a good way to remember may be to keep in mind how each animal attacks its prey.
A bull attacks with its horns going upward, and therefore a "bull" market is a consistent upward trend in the stock market. Conversely, the grizzly bear presses down on its prey giving us the term "bear market" which corresponds to a long period of steady decline.
In general, the stock market moves in sync with the broader economy. Thus, over time, the market experiences both "bull" and "bear" phases. A full market cycle refers to the natural alternation of "bull" and "bears" markets. So, as you can see, while investing may have its own specific language, like most things, it's easily deciphered with patience and some rather simple explanations.

you're a recorded version
Titus Andronicus was the show of the weekend for me. Absolutely life-affirming.
LCD Soundsystem was also great, except I fucking hate "Pow Pow," which he played, but he didn't play "Dance Yrself Clean." oh well.
Panda Bear sounded exactly how you'd expect him to in a grass field in the middle of an afternoon — awful — and just like everyone else I'm going to qualify that with a "and and and I LOVED "Person Pitch!"
Surfer Blood sounded really good but dude's got no stage presence, just stands there like Ezra Koenig's slightly pudgier, nerdier cousin, occasionally holding his guitar at a cool angle, but that's just being nitpicky. Surfer Blood sounded great.
Modest Mouse sucked.
anyone else hear the Animal Collective vibe in "Mickey Mouse"?
that was "tight." sorry, but damn that was nice.
i like it more after a second listen (this time with better headphones) but this seams more power-pop oriented and less an amalgamation of punk and classic rock. It's all a little softer – the muted rhythm guitar, Craig seams to be trying to actually sing instead of spitting all over the place. I hope the rest of the album rocks a little harder.
We would all be lucky to see the Pixies perform Doolittle, Jim DeRogatis. Spoiled children don
t appreciate their presents.
"bursting at the seams" is an annoying cliche, so now, it's not funny or interesting, and it shouldn't have been used as a lyric by either songwriter.
I had the exact same reaction … i was ambivalent about DP … but now I know that chick doesn't have an unusual voice, she has a disabled voice.

Firefighters in Morro Bay celebrated their new home Saturday afternoon.
A dedication ceremony was held for the city's new fire station.
It will house administration staff and firefighters.
Although the old building was damaged after the 2003 San Simeon Earthquake, the City Council did not award a construction contract until August 2011.
Fire Chief Mike Pond says, "The community finally did it; you, the community. Morro Bay now has a brand new fire station, and I'm humbled by the commitment, perseverance, and patience shown by this community and the firefighters."
After the Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, a ceremonial unlinking of the old and new hoses also took place.

I have an un paid bill from almost 10 years ago,made by a "friend" in my name. I am still being called daily by the collection agency. Is there a way to stop them? I thought there was a 7 year application of some sort...ty in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pay them? |
7 years is how long you should keep paperwork. The only rule on bills is they haunt you until you pay them. Your "friend" might have created the bill but the bill is in your name so you are the one responsible to pay it. |
- Posted by western_pa_luann (My Page) on Mon, Nov 3, 08 at 19:34
Pay the bill and get better friends. |
The collector wouldn't be Allied Interstate, would it?? Google 'em. |
- Posted by joann23456 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 5, 08 at 12:01
Boy, I sure wouldn't pay them. You're saying that your friend used your name without your knowledge or permission, right? If so, you're not responsible legally or morally. In fact, I'll bet the statute of limitations in your state has run by this time, and the creditor will never be able to get you to pay the debt by going to court. They'll just hound you to death to see if you'll cough up some money to get them off your back. I would make a call to your state's Attorney General office consumer hotline, and discuss whether there's anything you can do about this. I would also stop taking the calls from the debt collector. If you have caller ID, just don't answer, and if you don't have caller ID and happen to pick up a call, hang up. In fact, I have a creditor who's been calling me for years, trying to get me to pay a debt I know I don't owe. They call every month or two, I tell them to send me copies of the original loan document with my signature on it, they say, "C'mon, you know what this is is about," and I hang up. End of story. Periodically, they threaten to bring suit, and I tell them to please go ahead, and let them know what court is closest to where I live.:) |
- Posted by western_pa_luann (My Page) on Wed, Nov 5, 08 at 12:38
"You're saying that your friend used your name without your knowledge or permission, right? If so, you're not responsible legally" For that to be true, she would have to file a police report for identity theft. Or it might be less hassle and less expense to pay the bill that is in her name. |
For that to be true, she would have to file a police report for identity theft. Which IS an option. But several years too late to do that, isn't it? Sue |
- Posted by joann23456 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 6, 08 at 8:36
Why would she have to file the police report alleging identity fraud? I agree it would make it easier to prove, but is it actually required by some code? If the creditor ever filed suit against her, wouldn't her written response read something like, "My former friend, Jane Smith, took out this debt in my name, without my permission. I have explained that to the debt collector every time they've called, for the past X years." I don't specialize in collections, but I would think that part of the creditor's case would be to prove that the debt actually originated with the poster. If she has never accepted it as her debt, I would think that the creditor would need to show some evidence - maybe a loan or credit card application with her signature on it. Then they could argue about whether it's her signature. I'm not saying this will happen, because I can't imagine they're going to take her to court on a 10-year-old debt, even if the statute of limitations hasn't run. All I'm saying is that it would take a court case to make *me* pay something that I knew wasn't my responsibility. |

Ok so, there is this house across the street from me that had this lovely old handmade birdhouse in the back yard. I have admired it from afar for several years now. About 4 years ago the home owner told me that it was hand made by her Father when she was a child around 70 years ago. And it had been up there 20 foot in the air since the day he finished it. Well I'm sad to say that sweet lady passed on last fall. And her house was put up for sale by her surviving family. But the guy who bought it, said he was going to tear it down the bird house and trash it, that he didn't want it there. So naturally I offered to remove it for him if I could take it. He said yes, so after some very intense labor, the house is down safely, and sitting on my back porch for some love and attention. It needs cleaned out very badly, and a new paint job, one perch has come off, but is repairable. The house by itself weighs around 75 pounds, because it is made out of oak, and has a metal top, and took two of us to lift it into the truck... But its mine!!! I can't wait to get started working on it, and get if up for the birds to use for spring nests. Heres a picture of it in the air, and then again on my back porch, what do you all think??? |

You are now the caretaker of the AWESOME Birdie Hotel !!!! Thanks for sharing the Pictures & The Sweet Story!!! I LOVE ~~~ Life ~~~~ Continuing !!! P A S S IT ON !!!! God Bless! SusieSunShine |
Thanks everyone!! I am so excited to have been able to have saved it too. After closer inspection I have discovered the insides of each compartment are made completely of metal too, just like the top. This guy was a real craftsman, the entire house has a metal tube inside that the pole goes inside of, and then treads into the top, and a steeple type cover goes over that to keep the inside from getting weathered. The craftsmanship is flawless, and obviously the design was meant to last for years. I'm thinking white with lavender trim instead of the green. I hope he won't mind a color change as long as the rest stays in tack. LOL!!! |
Ok, so I finally got all the nesting materials out, it took several days, stuff was really packed in there. And now the house is cleaned, the repairs have been made, and a primer coat is on. I still plan to make the majority of the house white, but can't decide between a lilac/lavender purple or a light/medium sky blue for the perches and over the holes trim. What do you all think??? |
What a beautiful bird house! Just my 2 cents, if it's for purple martins then it kinda HAS to be purple, doesn't it? But then, I'm not a fan of blue so I don't know. You could also do some in blue and some in purple. I also like the original green and red would look nice, too. Not very helpful, am I?! :o) But what a great save, I can't imagine someone wanting to trash it! Robin |
Robin, It is definately a purple martin house, but there aren't any of those around my area anymore, so other birds use the houses instead. I don't particularly care for artificial green only the kind that grows, but red is a thought.. great, now I really have no idea what color to use. LOL!!! Maybe I'll get a few more suggestions before I hit the paint store, or something will really just call out. LOL!!! |
- Posted by bright199 foothills NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Apr 25, 08 at 9:55
Why do you have to choose just one color??? You could Paint the roof Green or red and then paint the perches all different colors. That would be pretty. I am soo glad you got to save this wonderful birdhouse. |
Awesome, what a find!!!!! It's going to look great whatever color you choose. |

I just love stories like this! Your neighbor is surely smiling down on you, because you saved her special birdhouse! You did a great job bringing it back to life. It sounds like it was built to last, and hopefully you will pass it down some day! |
I picked up the paint today, decided to go with the Lavender. And picked up sp Chrome metal fence paint for the metal top too... I will post pics once it's all done. |

I am so glad you were able to save this house from it's demise. I would have done the same thing. One of the things I love about garden "junk" is its history and what kind of story it can tell me. It looks beautiful after it's renovation and will probably last another 70 years. I am sure they are both smiling down at you with pride. |
What a beautiful looking home! Some very lucky birds will soon be moving in. You did a great job! |
Thanks everyone!! It was a really cool project, and as soon as the rain stops long enough for me to give it a good clear coat, it will be time to put it up. I'm sure that part is going to be interesting.. LOL!!! |

Awesome,what a save!And a very nice renovation! Before you put it in the air for another 70 years,why don't you write some of it's history on the bottom,and seal it.As it's already had 70 years of history,it can only add to the charm when it's rescued by someone at a later date. |

What i want to know is if the new owner of the house hated looking at it are you going to put the new improved version somewhere in your yard so he still gets to look at it??!!HEE HEE |
Goldenpond- LOL!!! thats so deliciously evil, I wish I had seen your post before putting it up.. LOL!!! - of course since the neighbor is from the house across the street it would have to have gone in my front yard. LOL!!! He did stop by the other day while I was out back working. He just stood there for a minute with a strange look on his face,and then said, "Is that the same house? Gosh I never would have guessed it could look like that. If it had been in that kind of shape I would have kept it." - needless to say I don't think he will be giving away more stuff without really thinking about it first.. Glad I got the old wodden ladder off him before his eye opening visit..LOL!!! |

Lovely save, I am sure the neighbor is green with jealousy. I hope you can figure out a way to get it up and down for cleaning. I don't know anything about purple martins etc but most bird houses they tell us to clean them yearly. But what a beautiful job of restoration!!!! |
Gorgeous job fixing it up. And what a wonderful story. You've saved a bit of history. Can you find out the name of the man who made it? Might be nice to put a little plaque or something on it commemerating his craftsmanship and the approximate date it was made. I think that would add a whole other dimension to it. |
Absolutely beautiful@!!! |

Hi!, I lurk here all the time, have posted some in the past, I saw a comment about getting the house down for cleaning. When I was a kid we had martin houses. They were mounted on a metal pole in between 2 steel plates, then a bolt went thru them, the pole and the plates. this created a hinge. then strapping went around the bottom. to clean it, the strapping was removed and the pole lowered on its hinge to the ground. It took a couple of people to manage and it was a yearly chore. Maybe this can help you. |
To all those who have asked about how I will clean it..... I put the house up using two poles, one is secrured into the ground with concrete, the other is the one the house is actually mounted on, I used a large eye bolt and some u-clamps to secure the house pole to the ground pole. The bolt is through both poles about a foot down from the top of the ground pole. The u clamps go around both poles for stability. This setup allows for me to take the clamps off and then loosen the eyebolt just enough to swivel the house pole down for cleaning. This particular one requires two people for that because of the weight of the house during swivel, but it is really the best way I found to accomplish the cleaning need for all my birdhouses. |
After posting the above pictures I realized that on this birdhouse pole set I put the eyebolt closer to the top of the ground pole, but it still works the same.. - Just make sure you use enough u-clamps to place one about every 2 ft up from each other. There are 4 total on this set. |
Wonderful story, beautiful martin house. Gives a whole new meaning to the word "junk"! |
