my coyote jihad
Central Kansas was no different than much of the country this past summer. We suffered through a miserable drought and scorching temperatures. This obviously put quite a strain on the food supply for our abundant coyote population which in turn made them take risks I have never before seen them take. Like many of us, I live in the sticks and am surrounded by open area.
One evening back in august my little mini Aussie was outside romping like every evening. Chasing cats, barking at the calves, etc. She was right outside a window when i heard her squall and yelp like never before. I knew immediately she got ambushed and was out the door with my 45 in a flash.
I assumed whatever had her was either killing her or had finished the job and was carrying her off. As soon as I cleared my porch I sent two rounds into my shelter belt to get the attacker's attention and hopefully get it to drop Maggie if that was the case. As I rounded the corner I saw a coyote loping back to the shelter belt. I had to wait for a clear line of fire before unloading the magazine but none of my rounds connected.
I saw Maggie laying in a heap and ran over to her. Knowing how dogs or coyotes attack each other, I assumed the trauma would be to her neck area. I was definitely correct as I found out when i assessed her condition. At first I thought she was dead but luckily she wasn't. I did the best one handed log roll I could manage and used my left arm as a spine board to keep her neck stabilized as best as possible and made tracks back inside.
The blood started pouring out of her wounds as soon as I picked her up. By the time i got back inside, both my hands were covered and it was dripping off of us both. I laid her on her favorite blanket and folded it in such a way as to stabilize her neck then used the rest to tightly cover her up. I wanted to keep her as warm as possible to hopefully slow the onset of shock.
Into the pickup we went and the old cummins diesel spared no dinosaur juice getting to the veterinarian. We were rolling coal the whole way. A few times during the thirty five mile trip I thought Maggie had died but a sternal rub would reveal some signs of life so we pressed on.
Upon arrival at the veterinary clinic, the prognosis was no bueno. The vet did an excellent job but we both knew she probably wouldn't live through the night. Regardless, he cleaned and dressed the wounds (left them open to drain) and started an I.V. with pain meds so she could be comfortable. He took some X-rays of her neck and showed me the damage. He told me if she made it through, she may be paralyzed on one side because it looked like she had a fracture in what would be the equivalent of the c2 vertebrae.
By this time the pain meds were taking effect and she was relaxed so we placed her in a kennel and i went home feeling quite powerless to help my best friend. The vet assured me he would call in the morning and let me know how she was.
When the phone rang the next morning I fully expected to have to make a return trip to bring her home and bury her but she made it through the night! It was two days before she ate or drank anything and by day five she could sort of prop herself up on her right front leg. At that point the vet said I could bring her home if i felt comfortable with taking care of her.
It was about two weeks before she was even strong enough to hold herself up to go potty and about three weeks before she could get around a little on her own. Two months later she is doing better than I ever could have hoped and can jump in the pickup to go along with me again.
Why is this in "the hunt" forum you may be wondering. Because I have taken it upon myself to kill every coyote I see. I have been calling for a few years now and can do reasonably well in bringing them to me. Also I have stopped passing up chance opportunities as I go about my day to day work around the farm. I am going to post pictures of the coyotes I remove from the gene pool as I can. These photos may be graphic so I am giving fair warning now. The first few pictures will be of Maggie so you can see the story a bit. Here goes.
So many coyotes....so little time....

This was Maggie before:
This was Maggie at the vet's office:
Obviously she should not have been outside unsupervised. That part is perfectly clear to me and I do not need further assistance deciphering that bit of wisdom.
Luckily she is doing well and here is a more recent photo of her:

As for the coyotes i have encountered since then, I cannot say the same. The first one I saw was while she was still in the vet's care. I can't post that photo because my hand.
is in the photo telling the coyote i think he is number one if you get my drift. He caught a 40 grain vmax in his exit portal as he ran away. I finished him off with my LCP.
The second one i ran down in the middle of a 500 acre field and beat to death with a shovel. Let me be perfectly clear when i say that Kansas has no limits on coyotes. I can use any manner I choose to dispatch them with the exception of artificial light or night vision. Beyond that to quote my game warden, "I don't care if you a slingshot, a rocket launcher, or anything in between. Just get out there and kill some coyotes!"
Here's number three. He just went down today. He was about 200 yards away on the run away from me. He ran straight away which made my job easier. Not to mention a 223 is more convenient than a spade. He was kind of a pretty one...lot prettier dead as far as I'm concerned.
That's where I'm at so far. Its fall harvest time here and I'm greatly looking forward to when the soybeans are cut and the fields are opened up again. Saw a lot of them last year mousing on the bare soybean ground in the early mornings. There will be more photos to folfollow as they become available. This is gonna be fun. Also, Maggie watched me shoot the last one today and seemed quite interested....almost as though she wished she had thumbs to manipulate the trigger and bolt herself.

Dang man, sorry to hear about your dog. Glad she's doing better though.
Good work with the shovel, sometimes you just got to get nasty and use what is at hand.
These dang trash dogs are running all over the place. Kill every one you see. I got two last Friday evening myself.
Oh and could you change it from jihad to maybe "war" or "crusade" or "mission" or "wet ops". Thanks, just not real big on using anything related to islam in the vernacular.

Coyotes kill all the fawns in the spring. Every one of them needs to be killed.
We now have wolves on our hunting land. They've gotten rid of the coyotes and now we can hunt wolves (as if we couldn't before "secretly"). Last year we had a cougar on the land. Maybe he'll get rid of the wolves.
And this is central Wisconsin!

MDD, what can I say, hope Maggie get's to her usual self.
What kind of tag would one have to purchase to hunt with you for coyotes? I live in Mo. but I'd like to kill some Kansas yotes.
Thanks for coming!

I sure do hope that Maggie returns to full health, she sure does have one heck of an owner. And props to you for your dedication to the coyote removal.... While you might call it a "jihad", A Vendetta might be a better term
Whatever you call it.... Good luck and keep it up!

I take no joy in killing anything, but if anything ever did that to my dog - I would be waging open war as well
Happy Hunting!

Figured out that I can crop and edit photos on my phone. So here's the first one that I shot right after Maggie got hurt sans the one finger salute in the original photo. Was not a full grown coyote but as i said, no opportunities are passed over. There was no mercy shown to my little buddy and none will be shown in return. I know, I know, just nature being nature. Well living out in the country and doing what i do for a living I am a part of nature as well. The difference is this little piece of nature has opposable thumbs and an arsenal.

Funny how all this goes. I live in a sparsely-settled desert area. There's not a lot of anything down here--except bugs. No ranching, not many folks with little kids.
So, yeah, we have coyotes around. It seems to be close enough to what I'd call a reasonable balance that the occasional calling session keeps the numbers down in adequate fashion. I figure that they compete with me for the blue quail. Gotta leave a few for entertainment value, listening to their songs at night.

Normally I would say that is a fair statement for this area as well. Maybe the numbers aren't as skewed this year as it seems. They sure seem to be thicker than I ever remember though. I plan to take advantage of their more aggressive behavior towards food this fall as best I can with my calls...otherwise calving season in early 2013 is going to be pretty rough and expensive for me.

I have to ask, if the coyote(s) did not attacked your dog, would you feel the same way?

I have to admit that i'm on the fence with this. on the one hand, I can truly understand what you've been through. I know if a wild animal like a wolf or coyote attacked and maimed and/or killed my dog I would be furious and I would definitely try to keep my property safe from future attacks. on the other hand, I don't know if I could kill coyotes indiscriminately. I guess I only say this because I live in the city and thus haven't had this experience personally.
my father in-law is a dairy farmer and he has to routinely put down racoons because they destroy his corn crop. this is clearly a case of much needed pest control. I dunno. Killing one coyote is one thing but decimating as much of a single species as possible seems like overkill. couldn't you just build a pen for your dog so that wild animals can't get to her? I know i'll probably get flack for my comment but just wanted to offer my 2 cents

First thing I want to say is, I'm glad to see Maggie is doing well.
I hope Maggie has a full recovery and bounces back to her old self.
Second thing I want to say is I sure can relate to your situation.
I have a small house dog that wants to be with me all the time. He loves going outside with me especially when I go chore and I know how I would feel if I was in your shoes.
I want to thank you for reminding me how fast things can happen.
I will make it a point to be armed every time Spike and I go oustside, I'll also keep a much closer watch on him.
I believe you are correct on how thick the coyotes are, they sure are thick around this part of the country this year.
I had a neighbor call me the other day who knows I like to kill coyotes, he wanted me to come up to his place because he had five get pretty close to him while he was out in his orchard.
I've hunted coyotes with a vengeance for years and will continue to do so.
Keep up the good work, kill everyone of them you see.
Best Regards
Bob Hunter

Twins: to an extent, yes. I have always shot coyotes when i saw them. Sometimes I would let pups go just because they were pups. I hunted them in the past because they can and do kill my baby calves. It was a risk of doing business but i tried to do my part to mitigate that risk. The fact that one invaded my personal space and tried to kill my best friend not ten feet from my house has only served to harden my resolve against them. If i see one now and it lives, its because I missed. Not because I didn't shoot.
Gaseousclay: I agree that it may be the detachment of living in the city. Coyotes are vermin here. You would not spare a rat or mouse if you found it in your home would you? If you happened upon a nest of brown recluse spiders would you only kill one? No, you would try your best to kill all of them before they hurt you or a family member. Much like you wouldnt spare the vermin you encounter, I don't feel inclined to spare any coyotes I encounter.
Bob, thanks for the kind words. Maggie is already doing so much better than i could have hoped for. I hope something like this never happens to Spike. I'll keep posting pictures as i kill these coyotes unless there is disapproval and I am asked to stop. I have some 3" mag 00 buckshot I'm looking forward to trying out. I found out some time ago that a scoped rifle isn't much good when they break out of the brush thirty feet from you and close the gap fast. Its a rush seeing things like that. I am looking forward to finding out just how far inside out I can turn one with the buckshot at 25 ft or so.

Funny how things work out: Just this morning I ran across an article in the LA Times about wild animals in cities. More bears and cougars are being seen than in the past, for instance.
As for coyotes, the collated results from some 500 radio-collared coyotes in cities such as LA and Chicago show that they do well, with ample food. The kicker is that if they are killed out in an area of a city, it is only a matter of weeks before more coyotes move in and start families.
As was said decades ago, all that will be left after a nuclear holocaust will be cockroaches and coyotes.

MDD I am grateful that Maggie has made the recovery she has and I am sure she is grateful for you!
She is blessed to have such a loyal "best friend"!
gaseousclay I won't give you any flack for your comments as I would guess you just haven't had much experience with coyotes. So I am going to throw out some info on them.
They are the ultimate killing machine!
They can run at speeds close to 40 mph for miles.
They can pinpoint a mouse's location from from just a squeak from almost 600 yards!
They analyze over 3 BILLION PPM scent particles each time they inhale and can detect the presence of a scent from just 2 PPM!
They can leap a 6 foot privacy fence.
They are routinely trapped and removed from fenced game reserves with high fences!
They can survive natural events that effect numbers of other species!
They have killed animals just to eat the nutritious entrails leaving the rest of the animal to go kill another.
They are efficient animals, adapting to THEIR world as WE change it. Unfortunately we have created an environment that is in their favor.
They are efficient in that they will make a choice to take an animal that requires the least amount of energy to catch over an elusive animal every time! Don't get me wrong, they kill plenty of wild animals! But while our pets still have the natural ability to detect the presence of the coyote, they aren't bread to register every animal encounter as a threat on their life. Therefore, our pets are like a fast food drive thru for them.
Yes, coyotes have to eat. They are a vital part of our ecosystem! But development and expansion has skewed the things drastically in their favor.
In my area they have no enemy other then the few humans who hunt them. They can have 5-12 pups in a litter and once dispersed, a young coyote can travel over 100 miles to find it's own territory! They literally swarm an area! Because of this, in places on the east coast where they had never seen or dealt with the canis latrans, they are now wide spread. They can wreak havoc on the native animals before they have a chance to adapt themselves!
I have a great bit of respect for this cunning creature God created! But I also believe they need controlled. We CAN NOT eliminate the species by calling, hunting or shooting every coyote we encounter. Studies have show the coyote could handle 60% of the annual population being eliminated!
If we don't keep them in check nature will. Nature does it with diseases. When the coyote population gets infected they spread the diseases (rabies, mange, heart worms and some say lyme disease) to other species. While it could be argued that all the species effected needed a population check. This route is a VERY cruel one!
The population boom we have witnessed since WE eliminated the wolf allowed the coyote to become the top predator in North America. This has greatly reduced other species such as red fox and prey species. Some upland game birds have all but been removed from the wild in some ares.
But, as these pictures show, they effect many other species!
coyote with a fawn
coyote with a turkey
a nice whitetail eventually hamstrung by coyotes
while this little guy may have gotten in a lick or two I am sure it did not end well
possibly like this one
and then fluffy never had a chance
Their existence and population effect ALL other species.
They have every right to be here! But so do the other species.
We have to right the balance!

Here is another game cam pic of two coyotes eating a trophy whitetail while it is still alive. There was a series of pictures that circulated online where they slowly take the deer down. The pictures run from around 10pm to day light the next morning.
It is assumed that, to capture pics of trophy deer, the owner placed some type of nutrient rich supplement as an attractant that the now exhausted deer desperately needed causing it to meet its demise in the view of the camera. There are several pics of the deer, in between the attacks, with its head down to the ground.
The coyotes appeared to have eaten the entrails and left the rest.
So I post all of this to simply say that the canis latrans is not looking for any sympathy nor does it deserve it! It will take what it needs and then some! Sometimes what it needs is an important part of our life!
Sometimes a shot here and there will make OUR yard a bit less inviting causing them to adapt and find another source of food!
Sometimes they need more of a deterrent!
MDD, I want to let you know I am delivering deterrents 55 grains at a time here in Northeast Texas!
Good luck with your endeavour sir!!

Is the black/white photo showing a coyote carrying a cat? If it is, then I'm all for luring/keeping a coyote in my neighborhood. There's a "cat lady" one block away that doesn't personally own any cats but put out cat food for the stray cats (I've counted 14 so far and multiplying). They seemed drawn to the mulch in my yard (hate cleaning up their poo). Since I can't kill them myself (within city limits), need help from mother nature. I have the same feeling about the stray cats as MDD has about coyotes.

Summer has always been my favorite time—the 2011 version notwithstanding.
Summer offered three months of near unfettered freedom to roam the woods, fish and swim in the creek, play baseball most every day and read books that we checked out from the book-mobile that made weekly stops at a nearby store. That was pleasure reading, not school work.
We had a few chores to do—about an acre of lawn to mow and a garden to help weed and harvest. We shelled peas at night while we watched one of three channels on our black and white television. We hauled watermelons and cantaloupes from the field and set up a little stand beside the road to sell to folks passing by.
We went camping a few times every summer. We pitched makeshift tents by the creek, caught fish at night, played in the camp fire, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and cooked bacon and eggs the next morning. They always tasted smoky. We never slept and were grumpy the next day, mostly my brother.
I remember picking blackberries and the wonderful jelly and cobblers mom made from our harvest. I also remember scratching chigger bites until my skin was raw, and I recall taking baths in chlorine bleach to kill the pesky little bugs.
We dammed up the little streams that ran into the creek and made ponds in which we stocked minnows caught in a burlap-bag seine. When we checked the following day the dam had always washed away and the minnows were free again.
We caught bullfrogs and mom fried frog legs. They did not taste like chicken.
Most every afternoon, except for rare rainy days and when we had church-league baseball games, we spent in the swimming hole, a large, deep, cold basin that washed out every year at a bend in the creek. I learned to swim in that natural pool.
The trek up the hill from the creek was a lot harder than the walk down and we could feel the heat rising incrementally with each step toward home. Fortunately, waiting in the shade at home were watermelons. From late-July until mid-September we had scads of watermelons—Florida giants, Congos and Charleston grays, with an occasional midget melon that was the sweetest of the lot.
Most Wednesday evenings we had to be home and washed up in time for Southern Baptist prayer meeting and youth group. Sunday morning and again Sunday evening we were stuck inside a non-air conditioned church, often with a stiff shirt collar rubbing a fresh sunburned neck. I guess it did me some good.
I also guess South Carolina summers got hot. I don't recall temperatures ever reaching 110 or hitting 100 every day for most of the summer, and I don't expect it would have slowed us down much if it had. We probably would have tried to use the heat as a good excuse to get out of hoeing the garden or mowing the grass but I don't expect our dad would have bought into that ruse.
I also remember beginning to dread—on the very first day we got out of school—the end of summer and the return to school and daily confinement. Funny, I'm kinda looking forward to fall this year.

Gameshow host Defending champ Ben Bailey ("Cash Cab") will have a tough act to follow if he is victorious again; in 2011, his ill-timed trip to the men's room delayed his arrival to the winners' podium. He'll compete against Meredith Vieira ("Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"), a previous winner in this category who displays genuine empathy for her show's contestants, energetic Wayne Brady ("Let's Make a Deal") and easy-going Todd Newton of the Hub's "Family Game Night."Overlooked: Drew Carey, who consoles losers and cheers on winners daily on "The Price Is Right."

In this post we provide you a guide to hats, caps and headwear. In this entry we first explore the origin and uses of hats. In the second section we unlock the mystery between the various types of baseball caps. Ever wonder why the world needs so many different types of caps? Just what is the difference between low profile and high profile, what is a structured cap and so on? This is your guide to hats, caps and headwear.
Hats have been around for hundreds of years and their uses and styles are as varied as the options at your local buffet. There are hundreds of different styles of hats but the most popular hat these days is the baseball hat. Hats can be made of cotton, polyester, straw, felt and many more materials.
Brief History
The first known evidence of hats appears in drawings from Ancient Greece. Most of the early hats were worn by the higher society individuals or the wealthy. These people would have their very own hat makers known as a "milliner" – named after Milan Italy – where the best hats were made in the 18th century. Most milliners from that era were women. Early hats were an indicator of Military rank or occupation as can still be seen all over the world today. Among the most famous hat makers in the United States is John B. Stetson of the Stetson hat company. They are responsible for creating what most of us recognize as the Cowboy hat. In some cases hats are required attire at many horse races and formal events. These are among the last places where you will find very high end and extravagant hats. Hats have a deep history and have changed a lot over the generations. It used to be in the 30's, 40's and 50's people would never leave the house without a hat. The men would don a dress hat similar to a fedora or a Cabbie Hat and the women would wear something more extravagant that was often decorated with lace or flowers or combinations of similar accessories. As we entered into the 1960's the custom of wearing hats every time you left the house faded. Now a days you will most commonly grab a baseball cap if you are leaving the house with a hat.
Have a look at a Stetson hat being made:
Hats have a great variety of uses. We have already discussed the hats that identify members of the military. There are also hats for occupations such as a baker's hat, also known as a Toque. Then there are hard hats made of hard plastic to protect construction workers from falling debris. The bishops and Pope of the Roman Catholic Church wear a Mitre, while we may wear a knit beanie in the winter to protect against the cold or a sun hat in the summer to product us from the sun. A baseball player would wear a baseball cap as part of his uniform and to identify his team while I, as a fan, would wear the same hat to show my support. These are just a small sampling of all the uses for hats.
Baseball cap
The Baseball cap is so popular across the world that it deserves special attention. A baseball cap is a soft, rounded-top hat with a stiff bill coming off the front. Almost all baseball caps are made of cotton, brushed-cotton to be exact. This is something most people don't know. The brushed-cotton looks like canvas and has similar properties to it but it is really just the process of making the hat hold up a little better. True baseball caps have the team logo on the front of them and are part of the official uniform but in this instance they do not need to have a logo as we are referring to the Baseball cap as a style of hat and not specifically for the sport. Most Baseball caps these days are worn causally as opposed to being for the game. Baseball hats can be fitted, which is solid all the way around with some flex in them or can be adjustable. In 1860 the Baseball team Brooklyn Excelsior wore the first of what resembled today's modern Baseball hat. In 1940 rubber latex was added to the inside of the hat to give it more structure than the previously unstructured Baseball caps. This gave rise to what we now know as the modern Baseball cap.
Features of the hat:
Hats have many features that are for both style and function. These can be important to know in choosing the right hat for your project. There are a few basic features found in any hat. They are Crown, Peak, Brim and hatband. The crown of the hat is the rounded main section of the hat that covers the head. We also refer to this as the bell. The peak or bill is the stiff portion of the hat coming off the front to shade the eyes. A brim is also a projection but it covers the circumference of the hat. You will find a brim in a fishing or sun hat. The sweatband is a band that runs around the circumference of the inside of the hat for comfort and protection against sweating.
What are the differences in Baseball Caps?
- Structured vs. unstructured:
The shape and structure are possibly the most important. In a baseball style hat you have the options of a structured or unstructured. The best way to think of this is a structured hat will keep its shape when taken off and set on a table. An unstructured hat will not keep its shape and will more or less flop when placed on a table; the crown has a "stiffer feel."
- Profile – low to high:
Another important feature of these hats is the profile. The easiest way to think of profile is how far off your forehead the hat comes. A low profile hat will hug your forehead on up to the top of the hat. A mid profile hat will come off your forehead just a bit and a high profile hat will stick up quite a bit off the top of your head. Professional style baseball hats are high profile and structured.
- Type of Closure:
The next part of the cap is the closure – this is found on the back of the hat and is also known as an opening. There are two basic types of caps in this regard, fitted and adjustable. A fitted cap does not have an adjustment but comes in 2 or 3 sizes, using a form of elastic insert to allow the sweatband to expand or contract to fit different sized heads. Adjustable closures apply to hats that you can adjust. The most common closure is Hook and Loop. Hook and loop is just like Velcro but many manufacturers are not using the trademarked Velcro so they have to use the words hook and loop to describe it. The next closure is the slide buckle closure. This involves a few pieces of fabric and a brass slide buckle that can be used to tighten or loosen the back of the hat. This is just like a belt you would wear to hold up your pants. The final of the common closures is the snap back closure. This is a plastic strap with little button that can be adjusted and snapped into holes on the other side of the closure. Many people will know this closure from the back of a Trucker Hat.Here is an example of a snap back closure:
- Color combinations:
Most commonly, caps are solid colors, meaning the entire cap is of a single color. Sandwich bill caps will have a contrasting color on just the outer rim of the brim; this contrasting color is "sandwiched" between the top and bottom brim color, which is the same color as the rest of the cap. (link example). Two-tone caps will have one color on the crown and a different color on the brim or just the underside of the brim. (link example) Trucker or mesh caps have a different style of crown, where the back half or in some cases the entire crown is made of an open weave or mesh, which allows more flow of air to the head. (link example)
- Panels:
The final in the list of features are the panels. The most common baseball style hat is a 6-panel hat. Panels are sections or segments of fabric sewn together to make-up the hat, similar to segments of an orange. There are mainly just the 6-panel hat and the 5-panel hat, where the front of the hat as one solid, larger panel instead of two panels.
Here is a man wearing a Fedora hat.
As you can see hats have a long and rich history and are more popular than ever. While many hat styles are less formal than they used to be we feel that the options for hats are great. We carry brands from New Era, Port Authority, District Threads and Nike. Come see Outlet Shirts for all of your hat needs.

The motion pertains to a lawsuit filed Feb. 1 by ROAR -- a group formed to formally oppose the project -- against the Bureau of Land Management after it approved the project in November 2011.
The amendment says the purpose of granting the stay is to preserve ROAR's right to challenge the current and any revised final agency authorization for the commencement and construction of the project.
The stay requires that the BLM notify ROAR, through counsel, should the OTR Corp. submit a request for BLM to authorize a Notice to Proceed for any portion of the project within five days of BLM's receipt of OTR's submission.
It also says the BLM shall not grant or authorize a Notice to Proceed for any portion of the project during the pendency of a regulatory appeal to the Interior Board of Land Appeals and for 60 days thereafter, unless otherwise ordered by the court. ROAR had requested that an additional 180 days be added to the time frame for the BLM to prohibit OTR from starting construction
Also in Monday's amendment, Kane granted ROAR's request that BLM be directed to begin preparing the administrative record to support the decision being appealed, which must be compiled within 45days.
"ROAR is very appreciative of Judge Kane's quick action and his amended stay with the conditions and time frames included in the amended stay," said Joan Anzelmo, a spokesperson for ROAR. "The amended stay is clear in its intent and preserves ROAR's right to have its case heard in federal court following completion of the third party administrative appeal being considered by the Interior Board of Land Appeals."
Officials for the BLM on Monday declined to comment while the case is in litigation.
Christo announced July 31 that the exhibition date for the project has been temporarily postponed until three legal cases formed against the federal and state governments are resolved.
The project's two-week exhibition was scheduled to take place in August 2015. Supplies necessary to meet that date would have to be ordered earlier in August to begin construction in December.
Proponents of the project say OTR could significantly boost the hurting local and state economies. Those opposed to OTR say the project could cause irreparable damage to the environment and wildlife in the Bighorn Sheep Canyon.

The group, of seven to eight KKK members, were standing near the McDonald's on Violet Road on Saturday evening.
Some were dressed in robes and hoods.
They were waving to passing motorists and handing out KKK pamphlets.
"It was a peaceful only demonstration," said Trooper David Jones, public information officer for the KSP. "They were asked to leave and they did."

Boomer and others dogs like him are looking for a forever home, but when visitors come to the Grant County Animal Shelter, they often stop to look at him, but they keep on going.
Unfortunately for Boomer, a Pit Bull, his breed has a bad reputation, which is why Marsha Chaney, the shelter director, has started the "Pit Stop Campaign."

Creamy white chocolate hot cocoa with the tingle of peppermint to perk up your hot cocoa drinking routine! So rich, sweet and decadent this not only serves as a warming drink but as a completely satisfying dessert.
Being a partner with McCormick is the highlight of the holiday season for me! The past ten days I've been in the kitchen baking up a storm in preparation for Christmas.
Morning, noon and night has found me covered in powdered sugar, assorted cookie batter, marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, chocolate and a myriad of other sticky, sweet things. I know I can count on McCormick spices and extracts to give me the best-tasting, highest quality results. They never let me down.
Ever have a last minute guest show up for the holidays? Or receive a gift from someone unexpectedly? Or just need a cute, inexpensive gift idea? This recipe is perfect for turning into a gift!
Fill a holiday mug with a bottle of McCormick peppermint extract, a white chocolate bar (or regular chocolate), a candy cane or two, a few marshmallows and the recipe written or printed out on a cute recipe card. Wrapped in tissue paper or clear cellophane then tied with a ribbon, it's a gift I'd be happy to receive. Keep a few on hand so they're ready as needed.
For a special finishing touch add a dollop of marshmallow fluff or whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes to this unforgettable treat. Enjoy with your family and friends!
Merry Christmas!

HATFIELD, Pa. - July 11, 2013 --The lawyer representing a southeastern Pennsylvania man charged in the stabbing death of his wife last month wants authorities ordered to return $45,000 to his client.
Thirty-six-year-old Walid Mitwalli of Hatfield Township in Montgomery County is charged with first- and third-degree murder and possession of an instrument of crime in the June 7 death of his 30-year-old wife Mona.
The (Doylestown) Intelligencer says the money was in a bank safe deposit box under a friend's name, and defense attorney Hercules Pappas says his client needs it to pay attorney fees.
Pappas' petition says the money has nothing to do with the charges filed in the case nor did it stem from any criminal activity.
Prosecutors declined comment but said they would file a response.

The Savannah College of Art and Design is pleased to announce the photography exhibition Jack Leigh: Full Circle, Low Country Photographs, 1972-2004, on view from Tuesday, July 15, through Thursday, Oct. 2, at the SCAD Museum of Art. The museum is located at 601 Turner Blvd. A free public reception will be held at the museum on Thursday, July 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
This is the first museum survey of work by the acclaimed Savannah photographer since his passing 10 years ago. Leigh is perhaps best known for his 1993 photograph Midnight, which depicts the famous Bird Girl sculpture in Savannah's Bonaventure Cemetery. Random House commissioned the image for the cover of John Berendt's 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Leigh's photograph became synonymous with the recordbreaking success of the novel, immediately catapulting him to international acclaim.
The exhibition moves beyond the singular image of the famous statue and explores a thread of influence through Leigh's documentation of low country terrain, industries and people that are presented alongside works by photographers who inspired him, such as Eva Rubenstein, Walker Evans, Helen Levitt and George Tice. They are also in conversation with works by his contemporaries, such as Sally Mann and William Christenberry. Completing this circle of influence, the exhibition presents works by SCAD alumni Tobia Makover, Lisa Robinson, and Marcus Kenney, among others, whose practices continue to be influenced by Leigh's determined perspective.
"While the exhibition's primary aim is to explore and cement the importance of Leigh's work, it also aims to continue his legacy of inspiring a new generation of artists," said Tim Peterson, co-curator of the exhibition and chief curator of exhibitions at SCAD, "Jack Leigh served as a defining influence for SCAD students and alumni, further augmented by important opportunities at the Jack Leigh Gallery."
The exhibition also features a reading room that will provide insight into Leigh's creative process and legacy. Visitors can examine the artist's writings, annotated maps and contact sheets.
"Jack Leigh loved the South, but did not recognize how deeply his inspiration was rooted in the familiar landscapes and people of the Low Country until he returned home to Savannah later in life. He spoke of this realization often, calling it coming "full circle," says Susan Laney (B.F.A., photography, 1996), co-curator of the exhibition, and former director of the Jack Leigh Gallery. "It is this concept that is at the core of the exhibition, in Jack's spiritual return to his roots, the sources of his inspiration, and the legacy of his influence."
Jack Leigh: Full Circle, Low Country Photographs, 1972-2004 is generously supported by Mrs. Robert O. Levitt.
The Savannah College of Art and Design is a private, nonprofit, accredited institution conferring bachelor's and master's degrees at distinctive locations and online to prepare talented students for professional careers. SCAD offers degrees in more than 40 majors.

Career Corner
Angela Copeland
Last week, as I pulled toward my parking space at home, the adorable 3-year-old boy who lives next door ran up to my car. "I haven't seen you in a while!" he exclaimed in the most excited voice I'd heard all week. "How have you been?" I rolled down my window and chatted with him until his grandmother quickly rushed over to sweep him up.
She was, of course, unhappy with his lack of fear, since I was still in the process of driving into my garage. But this experience made me wonder: How much more career progress would we all make if we lived with a little less fear?
I recently participated on a panel about networking at a local university. A question that came up multiple times during the panel was about shyness. How can you network if you're shy? What can you do if you're afraid to talk to people?
Just like public speaking is a fear many people face, so is being tossed into a room with a sea of total strangers. It's right up there with eating alone in a restaurant, or traveling alone to a foreign country where you don't speak the language. Knowing where to start can be overwhelming.
Although the uncomfortable feeling of knowing no one may linger, you can still be a successful networker. It just takes practice.
Start out by packing your business cards. If you don't have any, this is the time to get them. You can order them online for less than 50 dollars. They can be as simple as your name, email address and phone number.
When you attend a networking event, make sure your look is neat and tidy. You don't have to wear a suit, but put yourself together in a way you can feel proud of. Think of what you might wear to work or to church.
Set a goal for yourself before you walk into the event. Your goal could be to meet three new people, to reconnect with three people you already know or some combination of new and old.
Look for opportunities to enter into conversations. Sometimes this will be a group that appears to be open to outsiders. Other times, you may find someone who is standing by themselves. Often, the person alone is both relieved and grateful for your kindness because they're also nervous.
Introduce yourself. Start with your name and a confident handshake. Ask the other person about themselves – both professionally and personally. Find out what they do for a living. Ask them how long they've lived in Memphis and what brought them here. Be genuine. And, as always, avoid topics related to politics and religion. Just a few simple questions can launch you into an entire conversation. Before you know it, you'll have a new networking friend.
After the event, take time to write notes on the back of every new business card you receive. Include the date you met the person, the event where you met them, and any personal information you learned about them. This will help you to remember small details when you reconnect in the future.
Send each person an email to say how much you enjoyed the conversation. Follow up by sending a connection request on LinkedIn.
Practice these simple steps and you'll soon find you've become a master networker yourself. It will help you conquer your fear, and live more like my courageous little neighbor.

The Davidson County Board of Health announced this week the appointment of a new health director for the health department.
The Davidson County Board of Health announced this week the appointment of a new health director for the health department.
Monecia Thomas, who most recently served as the health director for Yadkin County, will take her new post as Davidson County health director Dec. 3.
Thomas, who has also worked for the North Carolina Institute for Public Health as well as the N.C. Local Health Department Accreditation Program, said she is excited to start her new job.
"I look forward to serving as the Davidson County health director, and I am pleased to have an opportunity to work with the great health department staff, to meet the challenges and opportunities to provide high-quality health services to the Davidson County community," Thomas said in a press release.
Thomas was one of more than 50 applicants for the health director position. Despite the dense field, she shined with her qualifications and experience, said Dr. Mark Hamrick, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Health.
"She is intimately educated and capable of understanding all the ins and outs of the health department," Hamrick said.
Thomas has worked as a senior state accreditation coordinator for the state's local health department accreditation program as well as a director of management activity with the state institute of public health.
The native of Concord lives in Yadkin County and plans to relocate to the area in the near future.
"We feel like she is such an outstanding candidate," said Jim Tysinger, Davidson County's human resources director. "She has a wealth of knowledge of all the areas in the health department."
Thomas replaces Layton Long, who served as the health director from October 2004 to May 25 of this year. Long accepted a position as the state environmental health director with the N.C. Division of Public Health.
Davidson County Environmental Health Supervisor Darren Cecil served as the interim health director during the interview process. Cecil will return to his former position.
The Davidson County Board of Health is set to officially approve Thomas' installation at its next regularly scheduled meeting Dec. 5.

Over the top guest, what to do?scottsdale Nov 26, 2011 2:45 PM
I have a guest in my Scottsdale condo that right from the jump has been very demanding. The first e mail that I received from them upon arrival was full of petty complaints. It was hard to find in the dark, I gave them clear instructions which are easy to follow, I had also allowed them to arrive a day early as they found that they made good time driving and this would save them an extra night cost of a hotel. I should have said no and this complaint would have not been received.
They also wanted to know how long the ice cubes have been in the ice maker in the fridge and when was the last time the fridge filter was changed. I really had no idea how long the ice had been there but told them that a renter had been there a few days earlier and likely they were fresh but simply toss them out and start new. They also complained that a light bulb was burnt out. There next complaint was that I did not have a PVR on the Television and that they needed one as they like to record shows while they are out. Nowhere in my listing did it state I had a PVR, and nowhere in our correspondence did it state that they needed one or asked i I had one. I had Cox Communication come and install one. They wanted me to allow them to make changes to my service as this would allow them to contact Cox themselves and make changes, I said no! They were not happy about this.
When I was booking this stay they want to stay for two and a half months and I said I rented by full months only during the prime rental season so they reluctantly booked 3 months. Last night I received an e mail with 3 complaints. One is the downstairs condo owner plays his TV too loud during the mornings and evenings. He gets up at about 9am and goes to bed at about 9pm so there is nothing I can do about this. I suggested that they knock on his door and ask him politely if he could turn down the volume. They next complaint was that they called 911 as they witnessed a traffic accident and spend two hours talking with the police??
Then another complaint was that an inattentive driver almost ran him down while going to disposed of trash in the garbage bin. Not sure what I could do about this as he needs to look both ways as we were all taught as young children.
The last complaint is that they stated that when they arrived back to the complex last evening that the police were there as there was case of domestic violence going on. They said that this is causing them to reconsider the last two weeks of their trip ( which is a month from now)........Really? Seems like a planed event.
The question is what would you d? My rental agreement is clear, no refund for an early departure. I am concerned that if I do not comply they will write a bad review and this could cause me to lose future bookings. I really feel that complaints should be not posted unless there is some validity to the complaint, and if Home away allows such complaints I may consider a legal actions as I feel that we homeowners can be held for ransom without a valid reason, We as the paying costumer of Home Away deserve their support in help to clear up unfounded complaints.

A federal prosecutor says a New Haven developer practiced "urban redevelopment by fire" as his trial began on charges related to a series of arsons.
The New Haven Register reports Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul McConnell told jurors in his opening statement Thursday that Angelo Reyes orchestrated the torching of four properties to collect on insurance claims.
But defense attorney John R. Williams said the properties were underinsured. He says one of the four burned buildings was starting to generate a profit and Reyes "had every motive to protect that property."
Williams says the 47-year-old Reyes tried to improve the New Haven neighborhood.
Prosecutors charged Reyes with wire fraud, aiding and abetting, conspiracy and destruction of property used in interstate commerce by fire and use of fire to commit a federal felony.
