CALIFORNIA toll-fre- e, A still open to hunting. The camper in the Angeles National Forest ld learned the hard way that black bears don't like being interrupted when they're eating. The camper wanted to distract the bear, which was rummaging through the familys food chest at 2 a.m., so his wife and two daughters could make a break for their car. So he threw something at the bear; this, the bear did not appreciate. He (the bear) swatted at him, and that threw the man against the picnic table, reports The Associated Press. The bear resumed its search for food, allowing the man to escape with only minor cuts to his chest. The state Game and Fish Department said it would kill the bear for being aggressive. COLORADO Our favorite police blotter column lately is Crime Waves from the Four Corners Free Press in Cortez, Colo. Often, erratic drivers pulled over by police just give up and flat-otell the truth. Two examples: A man stopped for driving too fast told police he would not bother to attempt sobriety maneuvers because, he confessed, I'm drunk. Another man who ran a stop sign explained that he did not have time to stop because he was in a hurry. IDAHO phone line is updated by 8 p.m. daily, providing hunters with closure information for the next days hunt. ut Santiago. Santiago was wanted in Colorado when he was picked at Cresup on Interstate-7cent Junction on October 18. Utah Highway Patrol officers said they found the suspect in possession of Oxycontin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Santiago appeared before Seventh District Court Judge Lyle Anderson Tuesday morning, where he told the judge he wanted to plead guilty to the local charges and represent himself. Judge Anderson told Santiago he could face five years in addition to any sentence received in the event of a murder conviction. County Attorney Happy Morgan said Denver homicide detectives were struggling to get him, and that she is prepared to withdraw the local charges when they do. 0 A Western scourge no longer speaks for the region. Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler, who insisted on being called by the honorific pastor, died recently at age 86. For 30 years, Butler spewed hatred against Jews, and other minorities until his bankruptcy in 2000 put a crimp in his activities. According to the AP, Butlers legacy may be the opposite of what he stood for. To counteract his influence, Idaho passed tough laws against malicious harassment and adopted a Martin Luther King Rights holiday. And in Boise, a memorial financed by private contributions opened in 2002 to celebrate the life of Holocaust victim Anne Frank. Politicians also backed a slogan of tolerance to counteract Butlers whites-onl- y ideology: Idaho, Too Great to Hate. COLORADO Firefighters in Delta, Colo., recently parted with their old yellow fire truck. It was considered an ugly duckling, and d would almost tip over when a fully equipped firefighter jumped on board. But the truck, which featured a extension ladder, helped train some 60 firefighters during its 21 years of service, and carried one firefighters wedding party down Main Street, reports the Mountain Valley News. Firefighter Radford Mansker, who liked to prepare and polish the yellow vehicle for the Deltarado Days parades, says he felt sorry for the truck because it wasn't red like the others. Embarrassing or not, he admits, I liked it! Really liking the truck these days is the Artesia Fire Department, which welcomed it to a new home in Dinosaur, Colo., population 324. Delta now sports a shiny red truck that needs no pity. TIIE WEST Get ready for the $115,000 CXT, International Trucks long, 14,500 pound ultimate toy for extreme work and play. If you brought this truck to the playground, you'd be king of the dirt pile, boasts the manufacturer. All of this behemoth infuriated San hype for a Francisco Chronicle columnist Mark Morford. Morford said this newest monster truck , which he calls the size of a studio apartment, symbolizes what were doing all over the world, so, Lets just get it over with. Lets just give in and stomp around like we own the goddamn place and bum up all the remaining oil as fast as possible, maul the roads and gag the air and wipe out all those silly Priuses and Mini Coopers and all those annoying gnat like bicycles In Hell, he concluded, its all off road.

Following the lead of other Western states, Utah established harvest objective units in 1996 to help speed the recovery of deer herds in regions where predation is one of the factors limiting deer population growth. By selling an unlimited number of permits and setting a large desired harvest, cougar hunting pressure can be increased on selected units, reducing cougar numbers and their predation on Murder suspect appeared in court to face charges to includs: Topics Heard Around the West izz ' .Ir r i It. ; ' twiigiKi: |
