This evening at 6PM in Judge Spofford’s courtroom in Carmel, Lori Kemp will once again be called to answer a charge against a man she directly ordered to leave her property. The man “fell” and allegedly hurt himself so bad that he would not go through the hassle of filing charges against her. But the cop on the scene (there was a cop on the scene?) decided that he would instead and the case moves forward from there.

State Police charged Robert Robar, 52, with felony reckless endangerment in the first degree. Robar was hunting in a wooded area off Rio Dam Road in the Town of Lumberland at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, November 24 when he saw what he thought was a deer about 350 feet away. He fired one round from a Savage 30-06 rifle, shooting Terry Pelton, 50, of Sparrowbush, in the pelvic area. Pelton was hunting alone, dressed in camouflage, said State Police BCI Lt. Brian Shortall. “He’s claiming at this point that he did not see anything, that he simply fired in the direction where he heard sounds coming from believing it was a deer,” he said. “Maybe a little more thought should have been put into it and he should have waited until it came out of the bushes so he could see what he is actually shooting at was actually a [...] Applicant: Blue Chip Houses Ltd 1230 Gulf Blvd Unit 502 Clearwater, FL 33767 -0472 Facility: Blue Chip Houses Subdivision Hilltop Dr Carmel, NY Application ID: 3-3720-00356/00001 Permit(s) Applied for: Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Project is Located: Carmel, Putnam County Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a total of ten (10) stormwater outfalls to the 100 foot adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland ML-10 (Class I) in conjunction with the construction of a 660 linear foot common driveway and development of a 5-lot residential subdivision, Blue Chip Houses, Ltd., on a 24+acre parcel.

DEC PROPOSES AMERICAN SHAD FISHERY CLOSURES
With the American shad population in the Hudson River at historic lows, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced draft regulations to prohibit commercial and recreational fishing for American shad both in the Hudson River and the Marine and Coastal District of New York. The closure is necessary because the Hudson River shad stock has declined dramatically since the 1990s. Juvenile production dropped to below average in 2002 and has not rebounded. Hudson River recreational and commercial fisheries were restricted in 2008 with the hope that it would trigger some improvement in production of young American shad. With no improvement in stock status, a fishery closure was the only remaining alternative. DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis said: “New York is proposing this measure because of the severity of the declines in the American shad population throughout the region and the importance of protecting this species. DEC has thoroughly evaluated all the data available and a closure is the most appropriate step to help this fishery recover.” Last year the DEC adopted the Hudson River American Shad Recovery Plan (www.dec.ny.gov/docs/remediation_hudson_pdf/shadrecoveryplan.pdf) to help rebuild the stock.

[...] Cop Tasers girl for resisting bedtime November 20, 2009 Cathal Kelly The local police chief in Ozark, Arkansas is standing behind one of his officers who tasered a 10-year-old girl who was refusing to go to bed. The bizarre story is laid out in a police incident report obtained by website The Smoking Gun. Officer Dustin Bradshaw was called to the home by a woman complaining that her daughter was being unruly and refusing to go to sleep. Bradshaw wrote that when he arrived at the home, he found Kiara Medlock “balled up in (sic) the floor crying and screaming.” After watching her mother attempt to get Kiara into the bathtub with little success, Bradshaw took the girl into the living room and threatened her with jail. That didn't settle things down. At some point, Bradshaw claims Kiara's mother told him to “taser her if I needed to.” Bradshaw then tried to handcuff Kiara. But he couldn't manage that either. To hear Bradshaw tell it, he was now in the midst of a full-on brawl on the living-room floor with Kiara, a Grade 5 student. The 65-pounder was “verbally combative … struck me with her legs and feet in [...] |

These Rates Would Shock a Loan Shark
By JIM DWYER
Just in time for Thanksgiving last year, a credit card offer arrived in the mail. The (introductory) rate was 2 percent. Malcolm S. jumped. A student at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, Malcolm was looking after the affairs of a grandfather in a nursing home.
Soon, he had run up $2,000 in charges. Even sooner, the 2 percent rate vanished.
On Tuesday morning, he was on the 11th floor of a courthouse in Brooklyn, facing a lawyer for the credit card company, a judge and a debt balance that had metastasized to $4,300 with interest and fees.
The interest rate was around 29 percent. The judge, Noach Dear, held his head. “John Gotti must be looking down and smiling,” Judge Dear said. “Even he wouldn’t have the chutzpah to charge that interest.”
The lawyer for the bank, JPMorgan Chase, said he himself had been charged 29 percent interest on a credit card. “And I made the payments,” the lawyer said.
After the judge said he would hold a trial in January if the case wasn’t settled, Malcolm, 21, walked to the elevator. “It was mostly for Christmas and my [...]
