ROSWELL, N.M.(KRQE) A family on a weekend outing could not believe what they saw. Two dead elks; a result of a project designed to study and protect the endangered jumping mouse in the Lincoln National Forest. The study may be causing more harm than good.

The family asked KRQE News 13 to hide their identity. You could tell they both had struggled for quite a while, said the family.

A family on a camping trip over the weekend came upon an upsetting and disturbing scene in Wills Canyon in the Lincoln National Forest. So we were driving, my wife and myself and our two kids, we have a boy and a girl; Driving up a canyon coming across elk that have been tangled up in this electric fencing, said the tipster.

They say they came across the two bull elks that where tangled in a fence that killed them. At first, they did not know if the elk were caught by poachers or got stuck in a farming fence. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish says it was something else.

There were two bulls who got tangled in an electric fence at the head of Bulls Canyon in the southern part of the Lincoln National Forest, said Tristanna Bickford Communications Director for the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.

The electric fence was placed earlier this year by the United States Department of Agriculture in an effort to monitor the endangered jumping mouse. The project is to study its habitat and see if what can be done to preserve the animal. In the press release from July, the USDA hopes they could build permanent fences to improve the living conditions of the jumping mouse, but for the family, they think this was a tragedy that two elks where killed in such a way.

For them to be killed like that and be wasted, is I dont know, Its frustrating from a recreation standpoint and inhumane from a conservation standpoint, the tipster said.

KRQE News 13 reached out to the Lincoln National Forest and the USDA for comment. They declined to comment because of a current lawsuit about the jumping mouse. The environment group believes the government is not doing enough to save the mouse.

Big Bachelor brood! Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert have been vocal about their future family plans since tying the knot in 2016.

The Bachelor in Paradise alums announced their first pregnancy in March 2017. Feeling crazy grateful to finally share a little secret weve been keeping! Were already absolutely head over heels in love with our little one, the Colorado native captioned her baby bump debut at the time. #babyjanner #hanginthereTanner #eatingfortwotherightway.

The Bachelorette alum shared the same shots via Instagram, writing, Dad Bod. Check. Dad Jokes. Check. Becoming a Dad. Check.

Their daughter, Emerson, arrived five months later, and she became a big sister in July 2019when her baby brother, Brooks, was born.

Roper gave birth to her son at home in her master closet. The moment I realized that we werent going to make it to the hospital, I was, like, screaming, the Mommies Tell All podcast cohost told Entertainment Tonight the following month. It took my painto a whole other level because it became fear.

Her husband chimed in at the time: I could see the whole head [before the paramedics came]. He was crowning. I was there by myself [and saw] a head of hair, and I was like, Oh, my God, this is actually going to happen.

In May 2020, the former ABC personalities announced that Roper is pregnant with baby No. 3.

HERE WE GROW AGAIN, the Bachelor alum captioned her Instagram announcement. It feels so good to be able to finally talk about this pregnancy! If you noticed I havent been on social media much the past couple of months, its because I was dealing with terrible nausea and fatigue, on top of taking care of two kiddos during a pandemic. Although this time has its uncertainties, we are so thankful and excited for this baby. I truly believe babies being born during this time are here for a special reason, to be light workers.

Well, when good fortune turns your way, all you can do is celebrate your good luck and hope it continues. Im talking about the Fishing Gods. Youll recall that last week I recounted my catching of the biggest fish of my lifetime on a rod and reel a 13-pound channel catfish.

Just a few days after that personal record catch, me and my good young fishin buddy, Gilson Scales, went to a pond to see how my aquatic weed and algae management in the fine Flint Hills fishing hole wuz progressing. Im so old these days that I wont venture out to fish or hunt alone. Gilson is not only my good outdoorsman friend, hes also my insurance policy just in case I take a header and incapacitate myself.

When we arrived, the water wuz plenty fishable and the wind wuz white-capping the pond. But, as I told Gil, the wind aint blowin under the water so the fish dont mind it. To deal with the wind, we had to fish on the upwind side of the pond (north) and throw our bait and lures with the wind.

Now my friend Gilson has a personal favorite fishing plug that looks like a monstrosity to me, but for some reason usually the fish like it. Its got bells, whistles, lights and rattles in the plastic lure. And, there aint hardly nuthin that will get him to change lures because hes had such good luck with it.

So as he wuz confidently throwing his monstrosity, I tied on a small translucent golden-colored, curly-tailed soft plastic lure called the Eclectic Electric Chicken and started throwing it with the wind. On about the 10th cast, a big ol bucket-mouth black bass slammed my chicken and the fight wuz on.

Luckily, after a good fight of about 5 minutes, Gilson wuz there to help me land ol bucket-mouth and when we weighed it on Gilsons electronic fish scale it weighed just short of 5 1/2 pounds. Thats not a record bass for me by far, but it wuz the biggest bass Id caught this year.

And, as it turned out, it wuz the only sizable fish we caught that day. And, for once, my Electric Chicken outperformed Gilsons monstrosity.

Thank you, Fishing Gods.

Fall has arrived for sure. We had a light frost on Oct. 2, the earliest date in recent years. But it didnt kill my garden plants and only killed a few leaves on the sweet potato vines.

Its fine fall Indian summer harvest weather and my neighbors are making good progress on their corn harvest and some have started combining soybeans.

As for me, Im waiting for some moisture so I plant my fall wildlife food plots. The ground is ready, the seed is bought and mixed, and all I need is a good rain.

All the migrating birds are gone except for the killdeers and a few doves. The purple martins left about two months ago. The barn swallows left about 10 days ago. And the hummingbirds left a few days after the frost. A few teal ducks have lit on my pond and the archery deer hunters have their blinds set up and are in the field eager to harvest a big buck. Plus, leaves are coloring and falling every day.

Ol Nevah and I went to Manhappiness last Sunday for a family visit. We took our grandson, his wife and great-grandson The Hudster on a picnic at the beautiful Pillsbury Crossing park and wildlife area east of town. There aint a prettier spot in the entire Flint Hills.

Before we came home, we went to Wamego and visited with old family friends the Joneses. They are a Jones family we will never be able to keep up with when it comes to kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. Theyve got us way more than doubled. But we agree with them: Grandkids and great-grandkids are really great.

Ill finish off this column with some more recollections about play time and play things during my callow youth seven decades, or so, ago. That wuz back in the day when every family raised at least a few hogs. Hogs were prolific and known as mortgage lifters. Im not sure they lived up to the mortgage lifter moniker, but they sure were tasty.

And, they became a source of fun for us rambunctious boys looking for things to occupy our time. Everyone fed their free range hogs ear corn as part of the daily ration. In the course of time, the hog lot became littered with more than baby pigs. It got littered with heavy manure-packed corn cobs.

And, those heavy corn cobs became missiles in epic corn cob wars. Yep, we boys ignored the stink and the uncleanliness of those corn cobs and threw and lobbed them at each other.

As I recall, most of those cob fights ended up with somebody crying and somebody mad after a well-placed or lucky cob found its target.

But, we all survived and so did our friendships.

Ive related this philosophy of life before, but after a prolonged, less-than-satisfactory run-around by medical and health insurance professionals this morning, I want to state my philosophy for life again.

These are my wise words for the week. Rest assured that any day of your life that intersects in way, shape or form with the medical, legal, insurance, utility, cell phone and automotive industries will not be one of the best days of your life. You can throw in government at all levels, too, just for good measure.

Have a good un.

A fence will be placed at the end of Whistler Street as part of efforts to deter the movement of transients, who sometimes engage in unwanted behaviour, through the troubled area.

Duncan city council voted unanimously at its meeting on Oct. 5 to contribute at least $5,000 for the approximately $10,000 fence.

Peter de Verteuil, Duncans CAO, said in a report that, after consulting the community, most of the concepts developed for the Placemaking design for Whistler Street that was presented to council last month had some form of fencing at the end of the block to deter transient movement through the area, at least until the street becomes the attractive destination for the community uses that are envisioned in the new draft plans.

RELATED STORY: SUGGESTED DESIGNS REVEALED FOR DUNCANS STATION STREET PARK, WHISTLER STREET

He said the idea of placing a fence there is not new, and had been discussed with local businesses and the community before, so staff viewed it as an opportunity to discuss the fence again.

Staff reached out in September and were surprised to learn that several individuals had already gotten together to raise funds for a fence at the end of Whistler Street, de Verteuil said.

The plan was ad hoc, grassroots, and very inspiring. Approximately $11,000 had been raised to date, as well as a lot of donated labour and some materials at cost. The design used rebar, and was planned to be installed on approximately Oct. 9.

De Verteuil said the city decided to contribute financially to a fence and staff looked into its costs, placement and design.

He said the city received a quote of approximately $10,000 for Montage Plus Spear top fencing, that will see a wrought-iron look ornamental fence placed at the site.

It will be six feet high and cover approximately 86 feet near the boundary that separates the city from the Municipality of North Cowichan at the north end of Whistler Street.

De Verteuil said the city will contribute $5,000, which will cover half the cost of the fence, with the money coming from its COVID-19 grant program, that still has $70,000 from the original $100,000 that was allocated for the program.

He said the rest of the money that the local residents raised for the rebar fence that was originally planned will be left with the fundraisers to allow for any repairs in the early days of the new fence, as well as for other improvements the group has been organizing for Whistler Street.

We found a way to work together with property owners and marry their concepts for the fence with the Placemaking concepts for the area, de Verteuil said.

This a good first step [in the plans for Whistler Street].

Mayor Michelle Staples thanked staff for reaching out to the neighbours on the issue, and council for trying to find ways to come up with solutions for the neighbourhood.

I also want to thank the business community for the grass-roots work that was done, she said.

As many communities look ahead to a 2021 spring observance of Arbor Day, your local treecommission has taken a bold step. It has made a decision to stage an autumn version of this tradition. Next Tuesday at noon, Bucyrus Tree Commissionmembers haveinvited the community to "come as you are" to Aumiller Park, near the pool and foot bridge. There isa proclamation for the very first Arbor Day in Autumn from Mayor Jeff Reser. Time has been set aside to salute our Bucyrus Fire Department for service beyond its normalchallenges.They are coming.Their bond with the tree commission will be clarified duringthis Arbor Day gathering.

Oh, sure there are two trees being planted. It would not be an Arbor Day without thistaking place. President Jeff Panovich will be summarizing all the tree planting effortsaccomplished since November 2019. He will share what is ahead in 2020 for SpringStreet and Aumiller Park.

The Bucyrus Tree Commission meets regularly. We walk long streets devoid of trees and decide whether a replacement tree should be of small size orcould be a medium one. Small trees are those that end up being less than 30 feettall. Mediums range anywhere from 30to 50 feetin height.Large ones grow on past 50 feet. Where power and communication lines are notpresent, large trees can go in.

Wecommission members travel to nurseries and actually look at the growth habits and physical characteristics of trees.Because we make choices for both parks and tree lawns intown,we listen to advice about which trees lend themselves to being tough along citystreetsandthose which need the unrestricted spaces afforded by Aumiller Park.Seedlingsare not in the plans. Rather older trees, which have a better chance to reach maturity, arebeing selected. All of this work is about replacement and restoration.

One of the goals is to bring variety to neighborhoods throughout town.Besides Japanese tree lilacs, honey locusts and several maples, we consider ginkgo, redbuds and London planetrees, which do well in urban settings.

In Bucyrus, where we survey tree lawns, letters have been sent to residents along theintended planting route, asking if they are in agreement with the tree plantings. Wecertainly want people on the support side of this venture.If you think trees are a waste oftime, think about the fact thatstreets are like a public face of a town, Bucyrus. They bring lifethrough foliage and perhaps blooming to welcome spring. In summer there is shade relief.Fall offers foliage colors. As leaves, flowers and fruit fall, a layer of humus protects the soiland slows temperature changes.

In heavy rainfall, foliage cushions the force of the downpour. This slows erosion. Tree rootsbind soil and hold huge quantities of moisture. Even bark stores water.

The Bucyrus Tree Commission members take seriously the chargeof acting like a community forestry program. We work through several steps to use funding wisely. If youfind pleasure in trees or want to understand more about supporting the program, do plan tobring your lunch and head for Aumiller Park next Tuesday at noon. Add your applause to the service of our local fire department.

This autumn Arbor Day is a standing-room-only eventsharing, which will be kept short andsweet.

EDMOND, Okla. (KFOR) An Edmond family is stepping up security after brazen thieves stole one of their vehicles and crashed through an iron fence to get away.

Two juveniles have since been arrested for the wild weekend crime caught on camera.

It just goes to show you that people who are dead set on doing this they dont really care, said property owner Scott Adams. They dont care about the damage, they dont care about themselves.

Adams, a local attorney, says his family slept through the whole thing getting a call around 3:15 Saturday morning.

My daughter came in the room and told me that the police were on the phone and her car was at Danforth & I-35 upside down, thats how we found out, said Adams. The thing that was really disturbing though was when I went back and looked through all the security video.

In the video, you can see one suspect checking out the property even on Adams front porch.

The issue is the safety of my family and thats what really has me upset, he said. Quite frankly, theyve very lucky because had I seen them, I can assure you it would be a whole different set of circumstances then what were dealing with today and Im glad I didnt.

Adams has beefed up security on his property since the incident.

News 4 is not identifying the suspects because they are juveniles.

Focused on telling groundbreaking stories throughout 2020, TNT will air the network premiere of Fences on Sunday, September 27th, at 10 p.m. ET. Fences joins TNT's growing diverse line up of poignant films that showcase the world in which we live.

Based upon August Wilson's 1983 play, Fences follows THE JOURNEY of Troy Maxson, a cynical patriarch with a backbone of pride that rules and defines him. Troy works as a trash collector in the city of Pittsburgh and finishes his Friday shift the way he always does, with a pint of gin. Finding failure in his professional baseball pursuit, Troy believes society will never change for the black man and attempts to impose this belief on his son's athletic pursuits. Starring Denzel Washington, who also serves as director and producer of this powerful film, and Viola Davis, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role.

Denzel Washington received his first Academy Award for the historical war drama Glory (1989) and his second for the crime drama TRAINING DAY (2001). In addition, he has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in Cry Freedom (1987), Malcolm X (1992), The Hurricane (1999), Flight (2012), and August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Fences, in which he reprised his Tony Award-winning role opposite Viola Davis.

Davis made her Broadway debut in 1996's production of August Wilson's drama SEVEN GUITARS. She received a Theatre World Award and Tony and Drama Desk noms for playing spurned lover Vera.

JACKSON, Wyo. The Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation will launch another fence removal project next weekend with the option to camp overnight.

JHWF is asking for volunteers to join them as they begin two days of fence removal in the Upper Gros Ventre on September 19-20.

Well be helping the U.S. Forest Service dismantle multiple obsolete fences over the course of the weekend, starting with a buckrail fence on Saturday and moving to a barbed-wire fence on Sunday, the foundation stated.

JHWF has also been given special use of amenities at theGoosewing Guard Stationfor volunteers who wish to camp overnight at the station This includes use of the indoor bathroom, possible use of bunkhouse, and hot water, as well as permission to pitch tents on the lawn of the guard station which is generally not available to the public.

There may be limited availability for staying in isolated bunkhouse rooms overnight, so RSVP is required.

The fence team will finish work by midday Saturday to allow time for volunteers to enjoy exploring the area. Sundays work should be done by mid-afternoon to account for the 1:45 drive time from the project site back to Jackson, and ensure volunteers return at a reasonable hour.

Anyone who plans to camp will be responsible for their own food, tent, and overnight materials. An indoor stove will be available, but volunteers may want to consider bringing their own camp stove to minimize indoor use. Water and indoor bathrooms are available to us as volunteers.

PROJECT DIFFICULTY:This project rating has a 7 in difficulty (on a 1-10 scale).

Most of the work will take place in open, sagebrush flats.The majority of heavy lifting will occur on the first day while removing the buck and rail fence.Water will be available onsite, but the conditions during the day are likely to be hot with no shade.

Overnight, expect temperatures to drop to near or below freezing. Expect to be working in primarily flat terrain, with the possibility of more varied terrain depending on how much ground is covered.Please bring a mask, bandana, or other face covering.

DRIVING DIFFICULTY:This project rating has a driving difficulty rating of 8 (on a 1-10 scale).

Project sites are along the Upper Gros Ventre Road above Upper Slide Lake. A mile up the road from Kelly Warm Springs, the Gros Ventre Road begins to significantly deteriorate as it hits the USFS boundary. JHWF recommends four-wheel drive and/or high clearance vehicles for making this trip.

Rain is not anticipated but JHWF will be watching the weather as these dirt roads can significantly degrade during and shortly after storms.

Gros Ventre Road closures

The Upper Gros Ventre Road is currently undergoing construction, which means that on days when the road is being fixed, closures are in place which prevent travel between 8 a.m. 12 noon, and 1 p.m. 5 p.m. Road closures are not anticipated over the weekend but volunteers who RSVP should check their emails on Friday evening to make sure plans havent changed.

Gear

You should wear layered clothes, long pants, sturdy shoes, and bring a rain jacket.Sun or eyeglasses are also amust.Sun protection (hat andsunscreen lotion) and bug spray is highly recommended.

JHWF also recommends that volunteers check the status of their tetanus shots in case of scratches or punctures from old fencing especially barbed wire.JHWF will provide work gloves and will have tools onsite.

COVID-19:

RSVP to[emailprotected]if youd like to join.If you have not filled out JHWF waivers before, they will send you the fence volunteer waiver for 2020, along with a COVID-19 waiver. Both are required.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) On the streets surrounding Lambeau Field, fences have long been converted into murals, celebrating the Green and Gold.

You see all the history in the field, but then these all bring a whole new history, Krystal Conley, a fan from Appleton said. It just brings all of the fans together, it;s awesome.

Its a living history lesson, lining the streets surrounding Lambeau Field.

Then they change them every year, its kind of cool seeing all of the artwork, Conley said.

This year, those changes are not coming.

The original Packers Fence, located across from the field along Lombardi Avenue, is taking a year off due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Traditionally, the fence is painted by a group of fans, coming together to ring in the season on Labor Day.

Thats what everybody comes here for, Chris Handler, the Packers Fence Painter said, to see the fence, to see whats on it, to have a great time, to have a beer and a brat. Thats what Green Bays all about.

Handler has had a lifelong passion for the Packers and fences.

I used to hop the fence to get into the game and watch the third and fourth quarter for free. It was a blast, he told Local 5 Monday afternoon.

Over the years, Handlers been commissioned to paint three of the fences along Lombardi Avenue several times.

I usually do it the home opening game here in Green Bay, so that Saturday before the home opening game, he explained.

He hasnt given up on this season yet.

If anybodys out there that wants to have a fence in their backyard, Im willing to paint it and build it and pay for it all, Handler offered.

Hes willing to fund the project out of love for the Green and Gold.

You have to create something new to keep the fan base going, he said.

Hes not exactly sure what saying hed choose if commissioned to paint a fence, but he thinks it should reflect on whats happened so far in 2020.

[A] Portrayal of some kind of slogan with whats going on here in the world, something football related, Handler said.

Anyone with property around Lambeau Field who is interested in a fence mural commissioned by Handler can email thepackerfencepainter@gmail.com for more information.
