Floridians wanting to know more about black bear populations in the state and another possible https://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2016/05/26/state-plans-black-bear-webinars/

Officials in Seminole, Volusia and Miami-Dade counties all have passed resolutions asking the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

to leave them out of any future bear hunts.

The Eustis City Commission also recently approved a resolution asking the FWC to reinstate the ban on bear hunting.

The FWC in October held the state's first bear hunt in more than two decades.

The state commission is expected during a meeting June 22 and June 23 in Apalachicola

to discuss the possibility of holding another hunt.

The October hunt saw 298 bears killed in four areas of the state,

including 139 in the central area of Alachua, Bradford, Brevard, Clay, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Orange, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns, Sumter and Volusia counties.

Marion had the most kills with 55,

followed by Lake with 36.

Sumter had none.

The FWC plans webinars on Thursday, on May 31

and June 2.

Wildlife officials will discuss the state's new bear population estimates,

updated bear ranges, results of the 2015 black bear hunt and another possible hunt this year.

The calls will also include information from the state's program for helping communities be "bear wise."

“These webinars give the public an opportunity to have their questions answered in real time,”

stated David Telesco, bear management coordinator.

“They also add to the FWC channels already in place for gathering public feedback including email, social media, phone, ASK FWC,

bear stakeholder group meetings and commission meetings.”

Registration is required for the webinar

COLLEGE PARK, Fla. —

A bear cub was spotted lounging in a tree in College Park Tuesday.

Even though the bear has not returned, residents remained leery about the possibility that it could still be in the area.

A bear was spotted in a tree Tuesday on the 1200 block of Country Club in College Park.

The bear spent some quality time hanging out in a tree in the back yard of a College Park home before it was scared off with a paintball gun Tuesday.

The Orlando Police Department first reported reports of a bear sighting in College Park at about 9 a.m.

The sightings took place in the 1000 blocks of Bryn Mawr and Smith streets, and the 900 block of New Hampshire Street.

"I was actually in the laundry room doing, folding laundry and I looked out the window and I saw a shadow, and I thought, 'That is a very large dog,'" resident Arden Magee said.

Magee said the bear caught her off-guard and her heart began racing.

The bear hung out in a tree for hours until officials shot a paintball gun near the bear, but not at it, in hopes to scare it off. The bear fled the area, according to officials.

Officials were waiting to see if the bear would leave the tree and move on without help. They didn't want to tranquilize or capture the bear because of safety risks to it and people.

At about 9 p.m. Tuesday, the bear was spotted again in a yard near Golfview Street and Orange Blossom Trial.

The bear then ran off and was nowhere in sight, officials said.

The bear appeared to be a juvenile traveling south through College Park, OPD said on its Twitter account.

“Please keep pets indoors and don’t approach (the bear),” the posting said.

Officials said they haven't received any additional calls about the bear. They also advised residents to keep trashcans and pet food inside.

VA secretary just compared hospital to Disneyland

If you truly want the VA Hospitals to run smoothly,

hire a military grunt to be in charge!

Someone the likes of me comes to mind?

VA Secretary Bob McDonald, 85 to 95% of the visitors to the Disney theme parks

are families with young children on vacation and well 'capable' and 'use to' waiting

for an enjoyable ride or two during their vacation.

95% of the veterans, while not on a vacation or a picnic,

are waiting for you and your staff to do your jobs.

https://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2016/05/24/va-secretary-just-compared-hospital-to-disneyland/

Jobs that you are well pay to do I might add,

and are old and or crippled one way or another

from wars that allowed you,

VA Secretary Bob McDonald,

the freedom to poke fun at,

your "Heroes!"

VA secretary just compared hospital wait times to Disneyland lines

by: Katie Link, Newsy Updated: May 23, 2016

McDonald took over as secretary for the department after a 2014 investigation revealed veterans were dying while waiting months to receive care at VA hospitals.

But more recent reports indicate wait times are still an issue.

In April,

the Government Accountability Office released a report indicating nearly half of surveyed veterans seeking medical care were forced to wait more than 30 days for treatment.

Disney Ride Wait Times Compared To VA Wait Times

May 24, 2016 by Benjamin Krause —10 Comments

http://www.disabledveterans.org/2016/05/24/disney-ride-wait-times-compared-va-wait-times/

VA Secretary Bob McDonald was idiotically caught with his shoe in his mouth when he conflated the VA wait times were veterans died to Disney’s ride wait times.

Most people would never think these two issues could ever be compared to each other in any manner, but Secretary Bob thinks the wait list should not be discussed just like wait times at Disney rides are not discussed in the press.

VA SECRETARY ON WAIT TIMES

Here is what CNN cited concerning Bob’s idiotic statement:

“When you go to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line?

Or what’s important?”

McDonald told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington.

“What’s important is what’s your satisfaction with the experience?”

Somehow, nonsense like Disney amusement rides are now the standard by which American should be informed about veterans dying while waiting for health care – never talk about it.

I do not have a lot to say about this since it would be an insult to my intellect to burn time on the subject.

Disney ride wait times are not the same as wait times for sick and dying veterans to see a doctor.

Apparent Secretary Bob missed the memo… or he screwed up the math.

Veteran's affairs

Instead, Secretary Bob said that

“satisfaction with the experience”

is what is

“important.”

Of course, how can they adequately measure the satisfaction of dead veterans who died waiting for health care?

Since when did we become such a country of ninnies, anyway?

Somehow if we feel good about being defiled that is sufficient to justify ignoring the violation?

If we do not turn this country around soon, I think it is time we all start to consider moving somewhere that takes the plight of its citizens more seriously than Mickey Mouse.

We live in central Florida.

Florida Tropical Paradise

Pet dinner at the pond?

We live in central Florida.

Florida is a Tropical Peninsula close to the Equator, hot and rainy.

Florida is and has been a home to tropical plants, birds, animals and reptiles millions of years before humans.

This Lakefront subdivision means that in Florida it is next to a home of Alligators among many other things.

This lake has a sign

"No Swimming Dangerous Wildlife!"

What is "COOL?"

Country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef, pork, and chicken.

House Votes to Repeal Country-of-Origin Labeling for Meat

Remember my past postings?

This is just a few of what has been happening and now will continue to happen because "You" have not been paying attention to "Your" Federal and State Congress!

The House of Representatives just voted 300-131 to remove "Country of origin labeling" known as (COOL) on chicken, pork and beef sold in the US.

YES!

As seen on 'twitter' yesterday.

The House of Representatives has voted to repeal country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef, pork, and chicken.

Texas Republican Rep. Michael Conaway’s Country of Origin Labeling Amendments Act of 2015 passed late Wednesday night by a 300-131 vote.

Conaway introduced the bill on May 18 — the same day the World Trade Organization rejected a U.S. appeal of its decision that COOL unfairly discriminates against meat imports and gives the advantage to domestic meat products.

http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photo-us-capitol-building-spring-west-front-dome-under-scaffolding-restoration-image53398765Two days later, the House Agriculture Committee passed the bill by 38-6.

COOL, which went into effect for meat in 2013, require that packaging indicate the country, or countries, where animals were born, raised and slaughtered.

Supporters of repeal don’t want the U.S. subjected to the $3.6 billion in potential retaliatory tariffs sought by Canada and Mexico.

They also argue that the rule has already burdened the U.S. meat industry.

House Democrats who spoke on the floor in support of the bill included Reps. Costa, Scott, Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Mike Thompson (D-CA), Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) who said that, “COOL may have been well-intended, but we’ve lost four times at the WTO … let’s repeal it, let’s move on.”

I know "We do not care about our life, health, family, or country!"

Let us just keep voting these bums back in to office?

P.S.

Remember, Bernie Sanders has been in an office of government for 35 years and today he is demanding that congress, of which he is a member, pass laws?

35 years and he did not know that he should be one of those that he is now demanding to past a law, any law?

Please think and vote?
