Firefighters struggle to contain Jerusalem blaze
Jerusalem fire 370.
(photo credit:Melanie Lidman)
A large fire erupted outside Jerusalem on Sunday, forcing large number of firefighting crews to rush to the area in an attempt to contain the blaze. Firefighters gained partial control over the blaze after hours of activity during one of Israel's hottest days of the year, with temperatures reaching a high of 34 degrees (93.2 degrees Farenheit) in Jerusalem. Around ten people were lightly injured as a result of the blaze, including one firefighter. Thirty-seven firefighting crews, among them around 82 firefighters, as well as five planes were dispatched to the scene to battle the blaze, which threatened nearby homes in Mevaseret Zion and Jerusalem's surrounding environs. Around ten civilians were lightly injured from smoke inhalation; Magen David Adom paramedics rushed them via ambulance to nearby hospitals, including Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Kerem and Shaare Zedek Medical Center. In addition, a firefighter suffered light injures after falling from his ladder.A Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund official said the biggest fear right now is the wind, which is blowing to the south-east, threatening the Ein Hemed neighborhood of Mevaseret Zion.The fire started in three separate locations. The KKL-JNF official also said that on Saturday a fire was started in the same spot in the Ein Hemed neighborhood. In early July, Police arrested two Palestinians suspects from the village of Katanna in connection with the large fire that raced through the wadis near Jerusalem two weeks earlier.Firefighters and police had immediately suspected that the part of that fire that started near Ma'aleh Hahamisha was the result of arson.

Sutherland got the penalty but Weber didn't get the goal. The USU Raging Bulls beat the Wildcats 9-4. The club has yet to win a game in their inaugural season. The Wildcats will host Northern Arizona University Friday and Saturday night at the Ice Sheet. Face-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. both nights. students of ATC denied )ower by administrators P. j Hillary S. Lundgreen 1 :;;npost editor in chief Student leaders at the Ogden-'.V'cber Applied TechnologyCen-!.-r say they have been held pow-vi loss by the ATC administration. In fact, students at the ATC have no input in the policies and procedures at the technological institution, said an ATC student body president who says he was iorced out of office by the ATC .lilministration. The first indication to David lT.mk.lin former student body president of the ATC that not e nough emphasis was placed on 'Indent's rights was when he re- ji icsted a copy of the school's con- til ution. Theadministrationgave him four different versions. "For all practical purposes, the constitution has neverbeen imple-'.icnted," Franklin said. The constitution was drawn up 'y the school's administration and '.wis never ratified by the student body, he said. The constitution was ratified by the student council, but the student body is not involved in electing student coun-. il members. When Franklin began working toward amending the constitution to include student representation on an administrative level, the administration began tofighthim, he said. "They threatened to sue me for slander," he said. Franklin, who was told his term as president would last until March 1995, said he was asked to resign by the administration when he refused to back down. He had contacted ASWSU President Chris Hatch for some pointers on how to effectively head a student government program. "David came to us concerned about the way student government is run," Hatch said. Hatch said he agreed to offer some assistance in building a stronger, more unified student government. Hatch attended a student council meeting with Franklin Wednesday at the ATC. After the meeting, Hatch said he was very disturbed by the events that took place in the meeting. "One of the advisers said to me during the meeting that students (at the ATC) have no power," Hatch said. "The administration intent is to keep the student voice to be activities only." See ATC pave 2 Pediatrician encourages womens' involvement By Candice Caldwell Signpost staff writer There is a growing need for women to be involved in crucial decisions on population, development and the environment, said pediatrician Helen, Rodriguez-Trias during a special lecture last week. "I hold a firm belief that women's participation in discussions on population, development, and environment and their full partnership are crucial, notjust toachieve a clearer understanding of interrelationships, bu t to era f ting pol icies and programs that will work," she said. Rodriguez-Trias addressed the link between "Women and World Population" during a special lecture at the Marriott Allied Health Sciences Build ing Thursday. She is president of the American Public Health Association and spent the past two years in Cairo, Egypt at an international conference on population. According to an editorial in the "American Journal of Public Health, it is " """"i crucial that women are involved with decisions on population and environmental issues, she said. "Women live in households, communities, and cities, Helen Rodriguez-Trias and in times, places, and cir cumstances that spell health or disease, life or death, with greater certainty than does access to health care," Rodriquez-Trias said.

Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1995-01-23, Vol. 57, No. 45
|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Product #: 664889 Birchwood Casey #: 34550 UPC #: 029057345506
Product Information
Birchwood Casey has been making products for serious shooters since 1948. The Shoot-N-C line of targets revolutionized the way shooters think about shooting targets. Each Shoot-N-C target has a special composition that allows the shooter to see bullet holes instantly without the aid of spotting scopes or binoculars. When the target is hit, the black coating flakes off, leaving a bright halo effect that is extremely visible. Pasters are available so targets can be reused.

This was a really good one!
Daver a Rooney, 2013-01-12 22:43:13
A step-father leaves a bad taste in his step-daughter's mouth. She, a very successful freelance photographer, does not trust him, and cannot believe he loves her mother for any more than her estate. She learns that within the short time they've been married, he has already had her take out a sizable insurance policy on her life. When they go upstairs to see the mother, they find she has drowned in her bathtub after an apparent seizure, something she has never had before in her life. The photographer seeks to take her younger sister, who is still living with the step-father and mother, away to safety. More surprises are in store at the reading of the will and the photographer, always looking for a story to shoot, finds one in her own life.

opt-in e-mailA term that refers to promotional e-mails that have been requested by the individual receiving them. Unlike spam promotional e-mails that get sent out to large lists of recipients without regard to whether or not they want the information, opt-in e-mails are only sent to people who specifically request them.
Opt-in e-mails are targeted and often personalized and carry information about specific topics or promotions that users are interested in learning about. Typical opt-in e-mails contain newsletters, product information or special promotional offers. For example, if a user frequented a Web site that sold books and music online, that user could "opt in" to receive announcements when his favorite author or musician released new material. The promotional e-mail may even present the recipient with a special promotional offer to purchase the product at a discount available only to those on the opt-in list.
Spammers, however, have found a way to use the opt-in feature to their advantage. Spam e-mails often come with opt-in features in fine print or obscured somewhere in the body of the e-mail with text that reads something to the effect of "Failure to respond to this e-mail will automatically opt-in the recipient to future mailings." The strategy of responding to the spam and asking to be removed from future mailings also has critics as some claim that responding to a spam e-mail with a request to be removed from the mailing list signals that the e-mail address is a working address and the address can then be passed on to other spammers.

All my friends know that I've been a "ukulele nut" for most of my life. A girlfriend in college gave me my first real uke, a mahogany Martin Style 0 that she bought at a thrift store for the whopping sum of one dollar. For years, I carried that uke everywhere, strumming it on backpacking trips in the Sierras, at parties (much to the chagrin of revelers that found the sound only a little less pleasant than an accordion/banjo duet), and when my friends sang on the streets of downtown Santa Cruz for spare change.

Oak Lumber – White or Red?
As promised many moons ago, here are the sure ways to tell the difference between red and white oak after they are sawn into lumber. Since my last post here I have been asked exactly why you need to know the difference if it is so hard to tell them apart. There are a couple of subtle reasons including the woodworking qualities of each:
Three-quarter Inch Paradigm
The other day I was surfacing some lumber for a project, and I reached for the depth stop on my planer. In a few clicks I was once again locked into the usual 3/4-in. thickness setting. I bet it's the one that gets used the most on your planer, too. I wonder if that's a good thing?
Gibson Guitars, the Lacey Act, and You
I would guess we all have heard about the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's raid on the Gibson Guitar company on August 25th. If you haven't, you need to push back the rock a little.
The U. S. Attorney's Office in Tennessee originated the warrants for possible violations of the Lacey Act, as amended in 2008. This act makes it illegal to import any wood or any item containing wood that was harvested, manufactured, or exported in any way contrary to the laws of the originating country. In other words, when Gibson imported wood from India, if any Indian laws were broken in doing so, then the wood becomes contraband and then Gibson is liable for illegally importing that wood into the United States.
It's Not Cedar
Cedar is used in many different projects in woodworking. There are humidors and cigar boxes made of Spanish cedar, closets and blanket chests lined with Eastern red cedar, and even your carpenter's pencil is more likely than not made of incense cedar. There is one small problem, however; none of these commercial woods are, in fact, cedar.
Buying (or Selling) Logs for Lumber – Log Rules Part 3
Log purchasers use many reasons for the differences in log rules. For example, users of the Doyle Rule, which underestimates volume in smaller logs, say that this is the very reason it is a fairer rule in that it costs them more to process smaller logs. This is logical since the logger will have to cut more trees, the sawyer will have to saw more logs, and the yard crew will have to move more logs to the sawyer, to equal the amount of lumber in much larger logs. However, if he cannot efficiently utilize smaller logs, he should base his offer on that, not on a biased estimation of yield. There are other reasons given to justify variance in log rule use, but frankly, none hold much water for me. As we can see, there is the potential for dishonesty when choosing log rules.
Buying (or Selling) Logs For Lumber – Log Rules Part 2
From the time the very first Europeans set foot on American soil, we have tried to develop systems to estimate the board feet of finished lumber we can obtain from a green log. It seems straightforward: figure the number of 1-inch thick planks that can be sawn, subtract for the width of the saw blade (kerf) and for waste (trim), and there you would have it, what is known as a "log rule." However, it is not that simple, because that does not take into consideration the high variability between logs, equipment used to saw those logs, and the operators of that equipment. The Forest Service's Forest Products Lab in Madison, Wisconsin reports that over 95 log rules with about 185 different names have been developed in our brief history as a nation.
Red Oak, White Oak: Telling the Difference
As a forester, I field plenty of questions from friends and acquaintances about trees in general. However, by far the most common question is "how can I tell the difference between red oaks and white oaks?" Well, here's how.
Oaks are in the beech family and in the genus Quercus which is the very literal Latin word for "oak tree." The oaks are identified as belonging to one of three different subdivisions: the white, red, and intermediates. Only the red and white oak groups are found in North America. I don't know the real reason white oaks are named such except that the namesake of the group Quercus alba (alba means "white" in Latin) has a white bark. However, the underside of the leaf is whitish as well. In addition, the namesake red oak Quercus rubra (yep, rubra means "red" in Latin) has a reddish wood, a red/orange inner bark, and its leaves turn a brilliant to rusty red in the fall. So, you see the problem?
An interesting fact about oaks is that from the time red oaks bloom, to the drop of the acorn, is two years. If those acorns aren't eaten by squirrels, deer, raccoons, turkeys, wild hogs, and any of the other numerous species that eat oak acorns, when they drop to the ground, then they will sprout the following spring. The white oaks, on the other hand, bloom in the spring, grow acorns, and drop them in the fall of the same year. When those acorns drop to the ground, they immediately begin the sprouting process and try to establish a beginning root system before winter sets in.
There are some major differences between the two groups and some more subtle ones. Although the wood can sometimes prove difficult to distinguish, especially if it was flatsawn, bark, leaves, and acorns are very useful in telling the difference between live trees of the two groups.
Aside from the obvious whitish bark of the White Oak and Swamp Chestnut Oak (both white oaks) and the darker bark of the Northern Red Oak, Cherrybark Oak, and Blackjack Oak (all red oaks), the leaves are the telltale indicator between the two groups. Look closely at the two oak leaves in this picture.
You have to look closely to find the one sign that quickly distinguishes the red oaks from the white. At the tip of a red oak leaf or the lobes of the leaf, you'll find a spine or bristle.
They may be almost microscopic, or very visible; however, you will never find them on a white oak leaf. So, as simple as it sounds, THAT's how you tell the difference between a red oak tree and a white oak tree.
Next time we will attempt to find the difference between the wood of the two oak groups. See you then!
Making Sawdust: The Weird Way
It all started with a cry for help.
Early last year, I read an interesting entry on a foresters' forum. A reader explained that she was given a wooden chainsaw-carved bear by her father. A few days after she received, it she noticed that it was growing "hair." Lauren wrote, "I noticed some things growing out of the sides of the bear that look like little white strings, about 2 inches long. I got a broom and brushed them off, and within 2 hours of me brushing them off, they had already started to grow back!" She had no idea what was happening with her new gift, and most of the good folks who replied didn't either. Most of them guessed it was fungus of some sort. They were close, but it was far too early to call it a fungus. Confused yet? Continue reading
A Trip Down Lumber's Memory Lane
I was perusing my shop's lumber inventory the other day when I started to recollect how long some of those boards had been collecting dust on the racks. You know what I'm talking about, right? You plow through massive piles of wood at the local lumberyard until you find a board that just shouts, "Hey, it took 200 years for me to develop my gorgeous color and unbelievable figure, so take me home with you!"
So you plunk down some serious cash and take that lignin beauty home, only to slide it into a rack where it must sit patiently, waiting for just the right project to come along. Trouble is, the longer you hang on to those glorious planks, the less likely it is that ANY project will ever be good enough to justify using them!

In their regular meeting Monday, Blaine City Council reviewed a recent parks and recreation committee recommendation to remove most of the skate park's aging plywood ramps that pose possible safety hazards to users.
Rather than making a decision, however, the council postponed their vote to allow for a town hall meeting later in January to allow the public time to speak on the issue.
The city had closed the skate park before for vandalism in April, 2007, after an individual threw an object through the window of a parked SUV.
Police said it was not clear if the individual was a user of the park.
Following that closure, parents and youth rallied at subsequent council meetings pledging to clean up the park and make sure such problems don't reoccur.
Volunteers and parents bought several cans of spray paint to cover graffiti, as well as a 25-gallon bucket of coated ceramic deck screws to tighten deck surfaces. Several users of the park, meanwhile, said they were enthusiastic at the new relationship forged with city officials.
But nearly two years later, the park continues to deteriorate and vandalism continues to be a problem.
And while the concrete structure supporting the ramps appears structurally intact, the ramps were constructed with a mix of treated and untreated lumber as well as OSB plywood. City officials say that while this provided for lower up-front costs, the life cycle of those materials is much shorter and are in dire need of replacement.
Blaine planner Alex Wenger said the city agreed to provide the land for the site with the understanding that the Extreme Sports Club would manage and maintain the facility. On November 14, 2003, the city and the Whole Town Team, Inc. signed a lease that secured the land for the skateboard park for a period ending November 15, 2013.
For the first few years the park was maintained through the combined efforts of volunteers, youth, and the city. However, during the last few years, the Extreme Sports Club has disbanded and the city has been required to increasingly take over operation and maintenance responsibilities.
"No one is carrying the torch," Wenger said.
He added that some of the siding on the ramps was constructed using OSB plywood, which has now rotted and may encourage more vandalism.
Council member Jason Overstreet said he did not support any future funding from the city and instead thought the money should come from the private sector.
"I think the city has done enough to donate that land. Let another group keep it clean and provide the insurance and raise the money to keep it going," he said.
Overstreet added that although he could empathize with park users because he was a skateboarder in his younger years, he said "a portion of those folks lean toward that sort of behavior."
"It's not a large group of them, but unfortunately, they ruin it for everyone else," he said.
Some, however, such as Andrew Ryser, a Blaine resident and former president of the club, say another problem is the lack of supervision and parents using the park as a de facto day care.
Ryser told council members last year that parents need to take a more pro-active approach to their children's activities rather than using the park in place of a child sitter.
"Little League parents are out watching their children play baseball but here the kids just get dropped off," he said.
Council member Charlie Hawkins echoed those sentiments in Monday's meeting. Hawkins said he thought it was unfair that the needs of a particular segment of Blaine youth were being dismissed.
"I thought we were a community, and as a community, it's our job to deal with people that are a part of us," he said. "I agree we should remove the dangerous and rotting equipment, but is it our job to shove them off to the side or is it to include them in what we do?"
Council member Paul Greenough agreed, adding that removing dangerous equipment was only the first step to creating another opportunity for Blaine youth.
"This town offers too few opportunities for people like me or not like me to do things," he said. "Those kids who have nothing to do will find something to do. Perhaps a skate park is a better alternative."
Greenough said he would like to look into finding available grants or matching funds.
"I don't think it would cost a lot to do just a minimal skate park," he said.
In the meantime, Blaine community development director Terry Galvin said he recommended removing all wood structures and dangerous fixtures and consider closing the park until officials can chart a better long-term solution.
"I know they want something more permanent but this could be more permanent if they would fund steady maintenance," he said.
Bonnie Onyon said she agreed but favored installing a series of inexpensive steel rails so that skateboarding youth are not completely disenfranchised from extracurricular activites.
The council has scheduled a public hearing for January to discuss the issue.

-- Robert Preidt
SATURDAY, Oct. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Head injuries are a major
cause of children's hospitalizations due to sledding crashes, a new
study finds.
Researchers examined data on 52 children younger than 18 who
were hospitalized for sledding injuries at a pediatric trauma
center between 2003 and 2011. The 34 boys and 18 girls were an
average age of 10 and the most common cause of injury was hitting a
tree (63.5 percent).
Twenty (37 percent) of the children suffered a head injury, and
70 percent of those children were admitted to the intensive care
unit. Three of them suffered permanent disability, such as
cognitive impairment, and two others required long-term in-hospital
Other sledding-related injuries suffered by children in the
study included fractures (17 children), solid organ injuries (10),
vertebral fractures (3) and chest trauma (1). Nine orthopedic
injuries required surgery and eight patients went home with a
The study was slated to be presented Oct. 15 at the American
Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition in Boston.
The findings show the need for public education campaigns to
highlight the potential dangers of sledding and to encourage helmet
use, according to lead author Dr. Richard Herman.
"We've seen a large increase in severe injuries resulting from sledding over the past year," he said in an AAP news release.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data
and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in
a peer-reviewed journal.

Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Danaher Corporation as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, growth in earnings per share, expanding profit margins and good cash flow from operations. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- DHR's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 5.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- DHR's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.16 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.25, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- DANAHER CORP has improved earnings per share by 9.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, DANAHER CORP increased its bottom line by earning $3.23 versus $2.77 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.41 versus $3.23).
- The gross profit margin for DANAHER CORP is rather high; currently it is at 56.76%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 12.78% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $971.40 million or 1.06% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, DANAHER CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -53.35%.

Conventional wisdom claims that goose down is better than duck down. And that is true. It's possible to achieve a higher fill power with goose down than duck down. But when the fill power is the same, the quality is the same.
Fill power is the number of cubic inches occupied by 1 ounce of down. Down with higher fill power is of higher quality; down with lower fill power is of lower quality. Or to say it another, more simple way: high fill power down is puffier and better.
There are a couple main things that make down puffy. First, the ratio of down to feather in the mixture has a big impact on how high the down lofts. Feathers do not loft, and have no fill power. If there are a lot of feathers in the mix, then it prevents the down from lofting as fully as possible. Down / feather mixtures range from 50% down / 50% feather all the way up to 95% down / 5% feather. Less feathers in the mix, allow the down to loft higher.
The second factor, determining loft ability, is the size of the down cluster. Larger down clusters are generally stronger and able to loft more fully. This is where goose down has the advantage over duck down. Goose down has larger clusters, and is able to achieve a higher fill power rating. That means more warmth with less weight in your down comforter.
So goose down comforters are capable of a higher warmth to weight ratio, but in practice this is not always the case. For example the Williams Loft Classic Duck Down Comforter uses a duck down fill. It has a 690 fill power and uses a 92% down mixture. But there are many goose down comforters on the market with with only a 550 fill power and 75% down mixture. In this case the duck down comforter offers a superior warmth to weight ratio.
Simply put, the down comforter with the highest fill power is the best, regardless of whether it's filled with goose or duck down. However comparing down comforter fill power from different companies may give an apples to oranges comparison. Quality varies widely and may not be as stated on the packaging.
Only companies with stringent quality control procedures in place are able to verify their claims on the product labeling. Good down bedding manufacturers verify their quality with 3rd party services like the Downmark Certification or testing by the International Down and Feather Laboratory.

Publication: The Day
Preston - Thursday's town meeting on a proposal to borrow $8 million to continue the cleanup of the former Norwich Hospital property drew only a slightly larger turnout than at the two informational meetings, but residents asked numerous questions about the plan.
About 30 residents, with perhaps half being town officials on various agencies, asked rapid-fire questions on details of the loan package, including projected interest rates, jobs that could be created, tax impact and what the state's reaction might be if the town rejects the loan package.
Residents will vote in a referendum Nov. 27 on an $8 million borrowing package for the cleanup of the former Norwich Hospital property. Polls will be open at Town Hall from noon to 8 p.m.
The proposal includes a
$4 million low-cost loan from the state Department of Economic and Community Development and $4 million the town would have to bond as the town match for the state loan. If residents approve the loans, the town also would obtain a $964,000 federal Economic Development Administration grant.
State Rep. Tom Reynolds,
D-Ledyard, whose term ends in early January, told residents he and state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, worked closely with the Preston Redevelopment Agency to secure more than $6 million in state grants and loans for the package. He said the loan package on the table is more generous than other major projects in the state, and he was "pleasantly surprised" at the deal.
Given the newly released projected state budget deficit of $365 million, Reynolds said the DECD would be affected by upcoming budget cuts and an expected push to reduce state bonding.
"It makes no difference to us one way or another, but there's a long line of people waiting for a deal like the town would be receiving," Maynard said.
The state loan calls for an interest rate of 1.5 percent - half the initial state offer of 3 percent interest - and deferred payments for the first five years. For every 100 permanent jobs created by future development on the property, $1 million of the loan would be forgiven. And if the town sells portions of the land, the town would be allowed to pay off the town's bonded debt and past legal bills before starting to pay off the state loan.
No presentation on the loan package was given during the town meeting. At an informational meeting just prior to the town meeting, PRA member William Legler presented slides showing potential tax impact of the loan package on residents.
Town bond counsel used estimates for both tax-exempt and taxable bonds for the estimates. The town would use taxable bonds only if prospective developers are waiting in the wings to purchase the newly cleaned property. Tax-exempt bonds cannot be used to benefit private developers, officials said.
Using taxable bonds, the worst-case scenario would see a homeowner with a house assessed at $100,000 paying an additional $42 in taxes to cover the town's portion of the loan in 2014. That would jump to an estimated $140 in 2020, followed by a decline in tax impact. Tax-exempt bonds would carry lower tax burdens, officials said.
If voters reject the package, the town still owns the property and would have to pay an estimated $165,000 per year - amounting to 0.42 mills - for maintenance, security and insurance.
During the town meeting, Board of Finance member Norman Gauthier, a strong opponent of the borrowing package, objected to the term "do nothing" as applied to a vote against the loans. Gauthier said the PRA has worked too hard to give up, and he would expect progress to continue, albeit at a much slower pace.

May 21st Update
The American Kennel Club continues to strongly oppose California Assembly Bill 1634. While AKC expects more amendments to be offered by the bill's sponsor, Assemblymember Levine, we believe that any attempt at restricting the rights and liberties of responsible breeders—especially via mandatory spay or neuter laws—must be defeated.
The AKC would like to thank the following members of the California Assembly who have respected the rights of responsible breeders by voting against or voicing strong concerns regarding the unreasonable and misguided proposals contained AB 1634.
Assembly Business and Professions Committee:
Voted against: Assemblymembers Emmerson (R), Horton (R), and Maze (R).
Voiced strong concerns: Assemblymembers Price (D), and Carter (D).
Assembly Appropriations Committee:
Voted against: Assemblymembers Walters (R), Emmerson (R), La Malfa (R), Ma (D), Nakanishi (R), Runner (R).
Voiced strong concerns: Assemblymembers Lieu (D), and Davis (D).
The AKC continues to urge all California breeders and concerned dog owners to write or visit your Assemblymember and voice your strong opposition to AB 1634. Don't forget: Fridays are the best day to visit with your Assemblymember at their district office!
To find your Assemblymember, click here.
For more information, contact AKC's Canine Legislation Department at (919) 816-3720, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
As always, the Canine Legislation Department will continue to monitor developments in California, and will issue Legislative Alerts as they warrant.
