I found this outrageous!!
Two women in the farm areas of Maine seem to be pulling a
scam in order to get expensive animals seized from elderly
owners and then selling them to make a personal profit. The
local SPCA seems to be involved with this scam as well!
The elderly owners who have had their animals taken (based
on lies told to the court system, despite outside
veterinary verification that the animals are healthy, well
fed, and well cared for) are unable to fight this situation
due to their limited income and the corrupt court system
and the corrupt animal welfare system.
One 60 yr old woman (Carol) was able to hire a lawyer for a
consultation, and when he heard she had 30 acres, a ranch
house with barns, and riverfront property and owned the
property, his concern for the case went out the window and
the woman HEARD HIM TELL HIS SECRETARY to get the paperwork
started on the lien for the property --he wanted to take
the case and I guess he was sure she would eventually run
out of money to pay him and he’d get her house!!!
The judge is likely on the take too, as he has been
ignoring veterinary verification about the health of the
animals in question, and signing a seizure order for the
animals (expensive, rare birds and purebred dogs and
Icelandic pony, Arabian horses, etc).
No attempt is made by the SPCA to contact the owners about
any thing questionable, yet the court issues an order for
the SPCA to seize healthy animals and then they report in
the papers that the animals are half dead, and stand back
and watch the donations roll in. Is it that the agents are
getting kick backs? The people who've had their animals
stolen (taken under false pretenses) are hoping to file a
class action suit and they have contacted their state
representative regarding this pattern of "stealing" pets
and animals.
Carol is starting her own legal defense fund, asking
donations to be paid directly to her attorney.
You can get more info about this situation and how you can
help (by letter writing, etc) by contacting Carol, one of
the owners who had her animals and pets stolen from her, at
this address:
fight4animals2004 @yahoo.com
If you've ever posted on endless love or on canines in
crisis or on a canine cancer board, Carol is one person who
would be likely to write or post back to you--she developed
a canine cancer program that's now used at Cornell and she
has always shared her cancer program and information and
research freely with owners of cancer dogs.
Just thought I'd take the opportunity to get this info out
in cyberspace in case anyone wanted to know the details, or
just drop Carol an encouraging word.
Thanks for reading this.

I'm taking the liberty of sharing an email I just received
about the kidwind project. There are still seats available
for a workshop that's to meet on the 24th which I'm
thinking would be of some interest to science teachers in
the immediate area. Contact information is provided in the
email below.

Hello Friends!
Thanks for your application and we look forward to seeing
you at the Wind Energy Workshop at Chewonki on June 24th
A web page on Kidwind has been established with a
tentative agenda, directions and other useful information
about the workshop. Head here to check it out…
[link removed] .
We will provide a snack and lunch at this workshop and
parking is free in the Chewonki parking lot.
We have some great guest speakers planned and lots of
hands on activities to take home so we look forward to
your attendance. If for some reason you have had a change
in plans please let us know right away as we have to
adjust numbers for food and materials.
This workshop still has space for 6 more teachers so if
you have any friends that are teachers get them to sign
up! There is still time! If they are not interested in
wind energy tell them there is free food, materials and
Chewonki is in a great location. We are especially
interested in attracting teachers from the Carrabassett
Valley, Stratton, Rangeley, Kingfield area in ME as they
are planning a pretty big wind farm near Sugaloaf and we
want to do a more in-depth wind project near there.
If you have the time or interest you might want to read
some background information on wind before coming. This
is not required but it may make the workshop more useful
to you if you do. You can check out some preliminary
material here…

Well we look forward to seeing you on June 24th and please
contact me if you have any questions at all!

The following states are still needed to complete our

If you are interested, please e-mail me your school
address. We would love to have you. To find out more about
the Postcard Exchange, read on.
I teach 5th grade and find that a postcard exchange ties
in well as a geography review, as well as writing--the
format of a postcard.
If you choose to join, your job will be to send each
participant a postcard.
Usually I have my class create one postcard and then
photocopy and glue it on individual postcards. In the
letter we include information about our state and our
school.
Then when we receive the various cards from other states
we display them on a bulletin board. I put a U.S. map on
the wall and everytime I receive a card we put a pin in
that city/state and attach the postcard.
My students love receiving the postcards. They have an
opportunity to learn little things about states and
schools.
At the end of the summer I will be e-mailing all of the
participants a list of addresses that will be involved in
the exchange. Usually we have about 30 states, I would
love to get all 50 states, but I haven't had that happen
yet.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if you are
interested so I can add your state to our list.
