New taxidermy class a hit at Michigan
high school
CROSWELL, Mich. (AP) - Students all over the U.S. dissect animals as a kind of high school rite of passage.
Not many, though, stuff and mount the critters afterward.
A Michigan high school is teaching students to do just that.
Croswell-Lexington High offered a taxidermy course for
the first time this school year. So far, it’s been a hit.
Sixty students enrolled in the first two sections, and about
a dozen had to be turned away, said Ryan Cayce, the principal at the school about 80 miles north of Detroit in a community near Lake Huron that long has embraced hunting and
fishing.
Teacher Kyle Tubbs, who owns a taxidermy business, last
year pitched the idea of a stand-alone class to Cayce, who
gave it the green light.
Senior Matt Barker, a trapper and hunter, said the course is
perfect for him.
“This is one of the best classes that I’ve had, because it’s a
very hands-on class,” Barker said, taking a break from fleshing an opossum he trapped in his grandfather’s backyard.
Students in the 13-week class must bring in an animal that
they hunted, trapped or found dead. Road kill counts.
In Mieyah Brenton’s case, the red-bellied woodpecker the
senior worked on was a gift from the family cat.
“I just want this eye to be where it’s supposed to,” an exasperated Brenton said to her lab mates before jamming a blade
into the bird’s eye.
Brenton said many people think the class is gross, but “it’s
just kind of something that’s cool to learn, especially if you
like biology.”
The class meets state standards for science instruction,
Tubbs said. Many students in the taxidermy class already
have taken biology, Cayce said.
“It fits in and integrates well with the other physical science
courses,” he said. And art, said Tubbs, who points out that
students who mount a full-bodied animal are asked to create
its natural habitat, which could include representations of
water, dirt and plants.
“Trying to make something dead look like something that’s
living again takes ... skill,” said Claire Knapp, a junior who
was drawn to learning about taxidermy after taking an anatomy course.
For the students who didn’t make it into the inaugural offering, there’s always next school year.
“I never thought that it would be this popular and (have) this
much interest,” Tubbs said. “It’s just really cool for me, doing
taxidermy and as a teacher, to see the interest that we have
with this class.”
Doggone good tale: Pup found 5 weeks after falling overboard
SAN DIEGO (AP) — It sounds like a pitch for a far-fetched movie: "Cast Away," but with a dog instead of Tom Hanks. Only
this sea tale is true.
A California fisherman's beloved German shepherd fell overboard and was presumed drowned. More than a month later, she was
found.
The 1 ½-year-old dog named Luna was spotted this week on San Clemente Island, a Navy-owned training base 70 miles off San
Diego.
The blue-eyed pup disappeared Feb. 10 as Nick Haworth, a commercial fisherman from San Diego, worked on a boat 2 miles
from the island.
"They were pulling in their traps, and one minute Luna was there, and the next minute she was gone," said Sandy DeMunnik,
spokeswoman for Naval Base Coronado. "They looked everywhere for her. They couldn't see her. The water was dark, and she's
dark."
Haworth notified Navy personnel.
"He insisted that he was 90 percent sure that she made it to shore because she was such a strong swimmer," DeMunnik said.
Haworth searched the waters for about two days and Navy staff searched the island for about a week but found no sign of Luna.
She was presumed lost at sea. That is, when staff arriving for work at the island's Naval Auxiliary Landing Field spotted something unusual — a dog sitting by the side of the road. Domestic animals aren't allowed on the island for environmental reasons.
It was Luna.
"She was just sitting there wagging her tail," DeMunnik said. The staff called to Luna, and she came right over.
A biologist then examined the dog and found her a little thin but otherwise healthy.
"It looks like she was surviving on rodents and dead fish that had washed up," DeMunnik said.
Officials called Haworth, who was out of state, working in the middle of a lake.
"He was overwhelmed. He was so happy and grateful and thrilled," DeMunnik said.
Luna was flown to a Navy base on the mainland and handed over to Haworth's best friend, who will care for the dog until Haworth
returns.
Luna, meanwhile, has a souvenir of the experience. Her dog tag was lost but the Navy gave her a new one, DeMunnik said.
Along with her name, it bears a key lesson in the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape course taught on the island to Navy
and Marine personnel. The tag reads: "Keep the Faith."

More than 40 lighthouses
Along the U.P.’s Great Lakes coasts you will find more than
40 lighthouses, most built in the mid 1800s. Several are open
for public tours. A few welcome you to spend the night and stay
for breakfast. Other stations invite you to volunteer to be the
lighthouse keeper. Some require hiking in to reach them. For
sure, if you explore the coast by boat you’re guaranteed a view.

Italian court: homeless man stealing hot
dogs did no crime
ROME (AP) Italy’s top criminal court has ruled that a hungry homeless man who took a package of hot dogs from a supermarket committed no crime.
The man had been about to leave the store after paying for
breadsticks but not for the hot dogs and some cheese he had in
his pocket. He was convicted of theft, and sentenced by a lower
court in Genoa to six months in prison and a 100-eur ($115)
fine.
The Rome-based Cassation Court ruled that man was driven
by necessity to take a small quantity of food.
A columnist in Turin newspaper La Stampa wrote the high
court’s ruling “reminds everyone that in a civilized country not
even the worst of men can die of hunger.”
Man charged with urinating on jet headed
to North Carolina
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A Kentucky man has been arrested in North Carolina after witnesses say he urinated on the floor
of an American Airlines flight from San Francisco to Charlotte.
A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police report states that 28-year-old
Jordan Gardner was arrested when the flight arrived.
Multiple media outlets reported that witnesses said Gardner
pulled down his pants, arched his back and urinated on the floor.
A flight attendant was notified and sent him to the bathroom.
The flight attendant used club soda to clean the mess. Gardner
returned to his seat about 15 minutes later.
Charlotte police and the FBI met the flight.
WBTV reported the Ludlow, Kentucky, man faces a criminal
complaint of destruction of aircraft. He’s to appear in federal
court.. It was not known if he has an attorney.
Diamond the size of a tennis ball could
fetch $70 million
LONDON (AP) — It’s a rock for the ages.
A 3-billion-year-old diamond the size of a tennis ball - the
largest discovered in over a century - could sell for more than
$70 million, auctioneer Sotheby’s said.
The auction house plans to offer the Lesedi la Rona diamond
in London on June 29.
The diamond was unearthed in November in Botswana at a
mine owned by Canada’s Lucara Diamond Corporation. It
measured 1,109 carats, the second-largest gem-quality rough
diamond ever discovered. Its name means “our light” in the
Tswana language of southern Africa.
The auctioneer said the rough gemstone “of exceptional transparency” could yield the largest top-quality diamond ever cut
and polished.
David Bennett, chairman of Sotheby’s jewelry division, called
the discovery “the find of a lifetime” and the auction unprecedented.
“Not only is the rough superlative in size and quality, but no
rough even remotely of this scale has ever been offered before
at public auction,” he said.
The largest diamond ever found was the 3,106-carat Cullinan
diamond, unearthed in South Africa in 1905. It was cut into nine
pieces that form part of the U.K. Crown Jewels.
The Lesedi la Rona could smash the record price for a diamond of $48.5 million, paid at a Geneva sale last year for the
12.03-carat polished “Blue Moon” diamond. Hong Kong billionaire Joseph Lau picked it up as a gift for his 7-year-old
daughter.

Purse stolen 14 years ago found in
garbage can and returned to owner
SEABROOK, N.H., (AP) -- A New Hampshire woman
received a resolution to an old crime when her stolen purse was
returned to her after more than a decade.
Lisa Hall Mazzaglia shared a photo of the purse which was
returned to her after 14 years when it was found in a garbage
can at Market Basket in Seabrook, N.H.
She was initially confused when Seabrook police informed her
that they had her purse and thought they had contacted her in
error.
"I figured it must've been a mistake, or perhaps I'd been the
victim of identity theft," she wrote. "I'll admit the thought of my
stolen purse from years back crossed my mind, but I quickly dismissed it as a ridiculous thought."
"The bag was basically as it was 14 years ago," she wrote.
"Wallet still stuffed with credit cards and ID's and receipts from
my Christmas shopping done in previous weeks."
Mazzaglia said that the purse was stolen in December 2002
while she was out Christmas shopping for gifts to donate to charity.
"I was putting the gifts in my car and my bag was lifted out of
my cart when I turned my back," she wrote.
She felt a sense of nostalgia as she rifled through her old
belongings, including her cell phone, pager, undeveloped rolls
of film and even $4 the thief neglected to find.
"Such a strange thing to have happened," she wrote. "But
thanks to the twists of fate and thoughtfulness of a Good Samaritan I got to open a 14 year old time capsule."
Developer apologizes for using forklift to
move legally parked SUV
NEW YORK, NY, (AP) -- A development firm apologized
to a New York family after a neighbor recorded construction
workers using a forklift to move their legally-parked SUV.
Susan Pellegrino and Tom Nahrwold said they were baffled
when their recently-purchased 2004 Infinity SUV somehow
moved up onto the sidewalk when it was left legally parked on
the street around the corner from their Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
home.
They also noticed damage to the bumper and undercarriage of
the vehicle, which they had purchased for $9,000 only a few
days earlier.
"Well, we didn't know until we walked down South 3rd Street
the next day and ran into someone who had this footage," Pellegrino told WPIX-TV.
The footage shows a construction worker using a forklift to
raise the vehicle off the ground and place it on the sidewalk.
The couple brought the video to the attention of Two Trees
Management, the company responsible for the development
project.
The company blamed the incident on subcontractor RNC
Construction.
"We pride ourselves on being good neighbors and have reprimanded our subcontractor for this unacceptable behavior," Two
Trees spokeswoman Nicole Kolinsky told the New York Post.
"We have been assured that the subcontractor will fully pay for
any damages."
Nahrwold's son, Henry, said the damage to the vehicle is substantial.
"When it brakes the steering wheel will turn almost perpendicular to the car," Henry Nahrwold told CBS New York.
The family estimated the vehicle will cost at least $2,600 to
repair.

54th Annual U.P. Trappers
Convention/Outdoor Expo
ESCANABA - The U.P. Trappers association would like
to announce its 2016 Convention/Outdoor Expo coming
up on July 15th – 16th 2016 at the U.P. State Fairgrounds
in Escanaba, MI.
Hours of operation have been adjusted this year, 8:00
a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Friday, and Saturday hours are 8:00
am – 3:00 pm. (All times EST). These hours are intended
to give more people a chance to get to the show after work,
and to provide the vendors, tailgaters and presenters the
opportunity to get to their next destination.
Many “big name” outdoor experts will be on hand giving demos throughout the event. Harry Nestell of F&T,
Steve Gappa of “Coyotes R US”, Richard Clark of
“NAFA”, Les Johnson of “Predator Quest” and Lesel
Reuwsaat of “Freedom Outdoor TV”, Greg Schroeder of
“Fur Harvesters” along with John Chagnon are all scheduled to be there. Veteran trappers, hunters and newcomers to the sports will surely gain valuable knowledge and
tips from these experts.
This “family friendly” event once again takes on the
theme “something for everyone.” Hundreds of vendors and
tailgaters will be on hand. In addition, there will be hunting and fishing gear, gun and knife dealers and for the
ladies: crafters and quilters. This is a good place to stock
up on supplies and take advantage of sale prices, along with
no shipping charges.
Many activities for kids are planned, including free fishing at the pocket park. There will be dinner at 5:30 pm on
Friday evening (pulled pork and stacked turkey sandwiches), followed by a dance featuring music by “Tune in
Tokyo”. Cost is only $5.00 for the dinner and $5.00 for
the dance. All proceeds will benefit the Escanaba High
School Bowling Team. Food and refreshments will be
available on the grounds throughout the convention.
“Having had the opportunity to host the National Trappers Convention in Escanaba in 2014 (with record numbers in attendance), a lot of interest in trapping, outdoor
gear and activities was generated. This carried over to last
summer where we had over 2,500 people attend the U.P.
Convention. We are expecting this summer’s convention
to attract even more visitors” said Jim Fornetti longtime
member of U.P. Trappers.
Admission is $5.00 for both days, kids 16 and under free.
Camping is available on the fairgrounds. For further information contact Roy Dahlgren at (906) 399-1960; or [email protected]
Find the right Father’s Day gift
Metro - Father’s Day is an annual celebration of fathers
and the contributions they make to their families. Dads get
their due on Father’s Day, when sons, daughters and wives
typically give dad a few gifts to show their appreciation for
all he has done for them and how much he means to them.
Finding the right Father’s Day gift is not always so easy.
No two fathers are the same, so while a silk necktie might
bring a smile to one father’s face, such a gift may fall flat
with other dads. By asking themselves a few questions in
the weeks before their dads’ big day, Father’s Day shoppers can narrow down their options and find gifts that Dad
will appreciate.
What are Dad’s hobbies?
Even if your father or husband loves what he does for a
living, a gift that indulges one of his favorite hobbies may
be just the thing to make this Father’s Day extra special.
Outdoorsmen may prefer some new camping or fishing
gear, while fathers who have an artistic side may prefer
some new paint brushes and canvasses. If Dad’s a car guy,
book a day at a nearby racetrack where he can race around
the track and embrace his inner race car driver.
What does Dad need?
Sometimes the best gifts are what a recipient needs as
opposed to what he wants. If you no longer live at home,
ask your mother if there’s anything your father needs that
would make his life easier or more enjoyable. If you live
at home, pay close attention to your father to see if there’s
anything that could lighten his load. For example, if Dad
loves spending time in the garden, take a sneak peek at his
gardening tools and replace any that have grown dull or
rusty.
What does Dad want?
For the Dad who doesn’t seem to need anything, consider something he may want that he’s never had before. If
Dad loves to cook but has never had formal training, enroll
him in a cooking class. If Dad loves a local sports team but
hasn’t been to a game in years, purchase tickets to a game
and go with him to make the day even more special.
Is Dad a techie?
Dads with a love for technology are living in the golden
age of gadgets. Father’s Day shoppers looking to satisfy
their fathers’ love of technology have a host of possibilities at their disposal. Even if Dad is an early adopter who
tends to get all the latest gadgets before anyone else, the
tech industry evolves so rapidly that you’re bound to find
something new on Dad’s wish list that he hasn’t purchased
yet.
Finding the right Father’s Day gift can be challenging.
But shoppers who stop to think about their father and what
makes the family patriarch happy can unearth a host of gift
ideas that Dad is sure to love.

Google offers $250,000 for Flint research,
local nonprofit
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Google is offering $250,000 to
help with the ongoing response efforts in Flint as the Michigan
city reels from the effects of a lead-contaminated water supply.
Google spokesman Patrick Lenihan announced the two grants
to reporters. He says the first $150,000 grant will help
researchers from the University of Michigan predict which
homes are likely to have water with high lead levels without
physically testing it.
University researchers will also build a mobile app and online
tools that can help Flint residents visualize data, report concerns
and request testing kits.
The second $100,000 Google grant goes to the Community
Foundation of Greater Flint. Kathi Horton, the foundation’s
president, says she doesn’t know what that money will be used
for yet. The foundation gives grants to other area nonprofits.
New law lets some access Facebook,
email of the dead
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A new Michigan law offers ways
for certain people to access the online storehouse of memories
in Facebook and Google accounts after the owner dies, but the
bill sponsor says it wasn't easy to get tech companies and
lawyers to agree on the new rules.
While mega tech corporations like Google and Facebook tout
privacy concerns, lawyers representing families or loved ones
fought to access electronic communications like emails and
other digital assets.
Republican Rep. Anthony Forlini credits himself for getting
all the lawyers to hash out the bill which creates a legal avenue
for those designated to access social media accounts and emails
of loved ones. A Google representative says the new law offers
the "right balance" between privacy and access.
1 million goldfish dive into Tempe Town
Lake near Phoenix
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) î More than 1 million goldfish now have
a giant fishbowl to call home in a Phoenix suburb.
Tempe officials dumped roughly 1.2 million goldfish and
minnows into Tempe Town Lake.
They say the fish will serve as a natural insect control for midge
flies’ larvae, which are at the bottom.
KPNX-TV in Phoenix reports (http://bit.ly/1YYhv07) that
the fish were transported from Arkansas by truck.
The man-made lake already has a variety of fish including bass
and carp. The goldfish are expected to be a food source for the
larger fish.
The lake was drained in March to replace a dam its west end.
Officials say the new dam will be more cost-effective, dependable and last for at least 50 years.
Vegetable Garden Planning
Metro - Whether you’re a beginner or an old hand, planting in
a pot or a plot, this advice will help you to plan and grow your
tastiest vegetables ever.
Why garden? If you’ve never tasted garden-fresh vegetables
(lots of people haven’t!), you will be amazed by the sweet, juicy
flavors and vibrant textures. There’s absolutely nothing like
them, especially if you grow the vegetables yourself—and you
can!
Remember this: It’s better to be proud of a small garden than
to be frustrated by a big one!
One of the common errors for beginners is planting too much
too soon and way more than anybody could eat or want. Unless
you want to have zucchini taking up residence in your attic, plan
carefully. Start small. Start smart.
Plant in a sunny location. Vegetables need at least 6 hours
of direct sunlight per day. The more sunlight they receive, the
greater the harvest and the better the taste.
Plant in good soil. Plants’ roots penetrate soft soil easily, so
you need nice loamy soil. Enriching your soil with compost provides needed nutrients. Proper drainage will ensure that water
neither collects on top nor drains away too quickly.
Space your crops properly. For example, corn needs a lot of
space and can overshadow shorter vegetables. Plants set too
close together compete for sunlight, water, and nutrition and fail
to mature. Pay attention to the spacing guidance on seed packets and plant tabs.
Buy high-quality seeds. Seed packets are less expensive than
individual plants. If seeds don’t germinate, your money—and
time—are wasted. A few “extra” cents spent in spring for that
year’s seeds will pay off in higher yields at harvesttime.
A good-size beginner vegetable garden is about 16x10 feet
and features crops that are easy to grow. A plot this size, based
on the vegetables suggested below, can feed a family of four for
one summer, with a little extra for canning and freezing (or giving away).
Make your garden 11 rows wide, with each row 10 feet long.
The rows should run north and south to take full advantage of
the sun.
Vegetables that may yield more than one crop per season are
beans, beets, carrots, cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce, radishes,
rutabagas, spinach, and turnips.
The vegetables suggested above are common, productive
plants but you’ll also want to contract your local cooperative
extension to determine what plants grow best in your local area.
Think about what you like to eat as well as what’s difficult to
find in a grocery store or farmers’ market.
When to Plant? Check your local frost dates—covering both
sowing indoors as well as planting in the ground.
In the end enjoy the benifits and enjoy.

Man stole $200G in
quarters
AP - A former Alabama
armored transportation company worker has agreed to plead
guilty to stealing nearly
$200,000, all in quarters, federal prosecutors said.
The U.S. attorney's office in
Birmingham said 49-year-old
Stephen Lancaster Dennis of
Harpersville agreed to plead
guilty to theft.
A statement released about
the case said Dennis has to
repay $196,000 to Brink's Co.,
the armored transportation
company he worked for at the
time of the heist.
Prosecutors said Dennis was
a money-processing manager
at a Brink's facility in Birmingham, where coins were stored
for the Atlanta Federal Reserve
Bank. They said the man took
784,000 quarters in early
2014 by using beads to fill
bags that were supposed to
contain $50,000 each in quarters.
Dennis faces a maximum
sentence of 10 years in prison.

Selfie sticks were
prohibited
ANAHEIM, Calif., (AP) A roller coaster at Disney's
California Adventure was
shut down for more than an
hour after a rider was seen carrying a selfie stick.
The Anaheim Disneyland's
California Screamin' Rollercoaster was stopped in the
middle of the tracks just
before the drop when park
staff noticed the selfie stick on
the ride.
Riders were left stalled in
the middle of the ride for more
than an hour before being
evacuated as park staff
worked to confiscate the selfie stick. In May of 2015 several signs were seen posted at
Disney parks warning that
selfie sticks were prohibited
on rides such as Big Thunder
Mountain and Space Mountain.
"We strive to provide a
great experience for the entire
family, and unfortunately
selfie sticks have become a
growing safety concern for
both our guests and cast,"
Director of Media Relations
for Disneyland Resort Suzi
Brown told KTLA.
