Sheriff Jim

 

As you can probably tell, Sheriff Jim Alderden spoke with us on Friday.  He spoke a little bit, then took questions.
Jim told us that Fort Collins is one of the leaders in the United States in alternative sentencing programs.  We have 179 per 100,000 in Fort C, while Colorado has 279 persons utilizing the program.
The jail even has Inmate job fairs, using inmates for harvesting, highway work, working with agriculture, etc.  The money raised is split three ways to the betterment of all.
As we've been told before, Jim thinks that Meth, Mexicans, and the Mob are our worst problems.  OK, I paraphrased that a bit, but with gangs, the meth trade, and illegal aliens, his department has more than their hands full.
He has no good solution to the problem.  He has suggested that faith-based jail programs seem to help, but more needs to be done outside the jail.  He has been told by inmates that they think a good way to reach people is for the inmates to speak directly with those most impressionable ~ children.  Somehow, he didn't think that would happen, though.

10.  . . . . while in grad school was arrested for stealing a parking pass.  He put up a fight and spent several days in jail where he led a riot and eventually broke out.  Consequently, we all know him by an alias.

NINE Months ALONE: A Canine Story of Survival
                                                     By Jim Bernecker

We had ONE brag today:  Dave Blomberg bragged on everyone who put up flags last week.

Of course, it could be considered a brag that Jim Manning received a check from John Arnolfo of The Silver Grill.  Jim tried to sell him on the flag program, but John told him that he had a flag inside, so he wasn't interested.  Silver-tongued devil that he is, however, Jim managed to wrangle a check for $100 anyway!

Brad Burns is helping CASA to put on a golf tournament at Highland Meadows Golf Course on Friday, September 17th.  He had a lot of technical terms, like morning shotgun, afternoon shotgun, GPS cart, two flights, green fee, 2 shotgun minimum, etc. 
(I guess this must be some kind of huntin' thing)  Anyway, he's hoping to have maybe
10 - 15 people to help him do this to help raise beaucoup bucks for CASA.

There was some discussion about our upcoming golf tournament.  We WILL continue the tournament as a fund raiser, but will not earmark any specific recipient.  Instead, we will just advertise it as a fundraiser for all of our charities that we donate to.

The 38th Anniversary of our club is coming up on March 15th.
PARTY!!!!!

If ya' weren't there, you missed a good story told by Bill Brown about Lutheran Air.

Frank Johnson had a correction for me ~ seems I said he is 61, not the 66 he really is.  Sorry, Frank, on both counts.

 

 
St. Pat's Party at John McLean's 4248 Eagle Lake South   Sat.  March 17th  6:00Pm. Live Irish Music, Singing, Story Telling, Jokes.  Bring an appetizer, booze, or just yourself.  Friends invited.

  Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the canines.


See the remarkable photograph below
courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not for the squeamish!


Final resting place for Anna Nicole


. . . . speaks for itself

   
Two good ole boys in an
Oklahoma trailer park were sitting around
   talking one afternoon over a cold beer.  After a while the 1st guy
   says to 2nd, "If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday &  make
   love to your wife while you was off huntin' and she got pregnant  and had
   a baby, would that make us kin?"
   The 2nd guy crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his
   head, and squinted his eyes thinking real hard about the question.
   Finally, he says, "Well, I don't know about kin, but it sure would  make us
   even."
