Yes, David Attenborough is a national treasure. These days, he is funneling all his star power and gravitas into the fight against climate change, because it’s his opinion that people won’t care about saving things they don’t know anything about – and if there’s anything Sir David is good at, it’s showing us things we’ve never seen before.

He stated his opinion that the commission has a statu- tory right to declare activities a nuisance and would need to provide due process (the con- stitutional right to be heard) throughout. The board will first need to create the process to consider and declare a nuisance, he added. “If the board decides to act on this landowner’s nuisance complaint, then the board would first need to create the process to proceed and then follow through with the matter to be considered,” said Baron in his submitted opinion. After explaining this to the complainant, Commissioner Kelly Dennis stated that the issue will be considered in one month after the accused, sub- division developer, service dis- trict and landowner have been informed. “We will set this up on the agenda at the December meet- ing,” Dennis said.

Sully won Best of Breed Award. The second half continued to see the offenses struggle against the stellar defense from both sides. With the Pa- triots facing near certain defeat, the Panthers inexplica- bly heaved the ball deep, where Patriots’ Kye Taylor was waiting at the goal line for an interception and returned it 60 yards to the Panther 40-yard line. Unfortunately, there was a Patriot penalty and the ball was brought all the way back to the 10-yard line. Facing a lot of field and not much time, the Patriots dropped back to pass and the Panthers were able to sack Kruger in the end zone for a safety, making the final score 16-7, and ending the Patriots drive to Laramie. Even though the Patriots will not be playing on Satur- day, they can take solace in the fact that the only two teams they lost to will once again be playing in the state championship game.
