Residents of Farmers Branch, Texas, say they're torn over an injured coyote who has thrived in their midst for nearly three years. Dubbed Limpy, the coyote brazenly sunbathes in driveways, roams the local country club and easily evades animal control officers, despite his injury, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. Limpy is one of several coyotes roaming Farmers Branch, a city near Dallas, but most of the 39 coyote sightings reported in October have been attributed to him, the Morning...
A left shoulder injury will cause Phoenix Coyotes center Olli Jokinen to miss at least two weeks, ending his streak of 397 consecutive games played. The 11-year veteran remaining in the first period of Wednesday's 3-2 win against Columbus when he was checked into the boards by Blue Jackets defenseman Marc Methot. The 215-pounder, a first-round draft pick by Los Angeles in 1997, last missed a game during the 2002-03 season while with the Florida Panthers. This gives other guys opportunities...
By Gary Bogue It definitely feels like fall. Dear Gary: I moved to beautiful Dana Hills, in Clayton, 15 years ago, in order to be next to open space at the base of our majestic Mount Diablo. I treasure the bountiful flora, fauna and assorted beasts here, and I cherish the opportunity for harmonious co-existence, side-by-side, with Nature. I'd like to think most people who reside here have a similar appreciation and respect for wildlife. We're blessed with a wide range of wild birds,...
By Joe Segura LONG BEACH - When a gopher - call him Ishmael - pops his furry frame up from its habitat, he sees a sea of green. From horizon to horizon, at the sprawling El Dorado Regional Park, the lush landscape is prime turf for Ishmael and his furry family - thousands strong. The exact number in the gopher family isn't known, but the rough educated guess is that there are about 100,000 calling the city's 3,000 acres of parks home, according to Ramon Arevalo, superintendent of grounds...
By Jeff Vice Deseret News All Roads Lead Home -- * 1/2 -- Vivien Cardone, Peter Coyote, Jason London; rated PG (violence, drugs, vulgarity, mild profanity, slurs, nude artwork) "All Roads Lead Home" is more hackneyed than it is heartwarming. It's considerably more annoying than it is enjoyable. The reasons for that assessment include the overlong movie's series of false endings and its series of treacly, false-note sentiments. Also, it's a confused muddle, and its often-confusing,...
By Dave Peyton AND now it's wild turkeys. I am beginning to wonder just how wild Peyton Place will become. It began a few years ago when the property was overrun by deer. That phenomenon continues. Then the coyotes arrived. Some claim they were imported into West Virginia by the state wildlife folks. From what I have read, however, they have established themselves in most of the eastern states. In fact, there are reports of coyotes in New York's Central Park. However they got to West...

By Joe Segura LOS ALAMITOS -- Startled residents have been been raising Cain more regularly, following continued coyote sightings near the massive San Gabriel River channel this year. However, Los Alamitos raised the ante this week, when the City Council unanimously decided to hire a private certified contractor to trap and kill the coyotes, a control strategy that's been avoided elsewhere. Los Alamitos Mayor Ken Parker said the decision was made after several residents complained of...
