Assistant County Manager End: Letter from Maddie’s Pet Project Repors from Maddie’s Pet Project staff 17-0267B0CC Nye County is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Provider To: Tim Sutton, Nye County Manager and Town of Pahrump Manager, and John Koenig, Chairman of the Nye County Board of Commissioners • re-n. ,.. a ies From: Diane Blankenburg, Bonney Brown, and Mark Robison of Maddie’s Pet — ! Pet Project Project in Nevada SavingNevada’sPets Oct. 31, 2018 We are writing to express our concerns about the future of Desert Haven Animal Society (DHAS) in Pahrump and the health and safety of the animals housed there. Our concerns are serious and time sensitive as the suffering of animals is dire. Additionally, the reasonable expectation of residents for quality sheltering for lost and homeless pets is at stake. In the short term, we seek the reinstatement of our presence at the shelter with the authority to make animal care and outcome decisions without interference from DHAS board members. In the long term, we ask the county to end its contract with DHAS so that a new organization can be recruited or created to take over animal sheltering for Nye County and the town of Pahrump. Maddies Pet Project in Nevada (MPP-NV) — an organization funded with $15 million for three years to support lifesaving at Nevada animal shelters and expand access to veterinary care in underserved areas — had been working with OHAS regarding grant funding and consulting services to help them improve their adoption marketing and fundraising that would improve their lifesaving and sustainability. After the shelter manager was let go and a number of other key employees and volunteers left, our team reached out to board president Ellen Arntz to offer additional help with filling the leadership and staffing gaps. The support was gladly accepted as the new board lacked adequate time, expertise and experience to run the shelter. We had multiple conversations with Ellen, and as she accepted our help, she agreed to support needed changes to meet the standards of the animal welfare industry’s best practices. We had also been contacted by two national animal humane organizations that had received alarming reports by community members about conditions at the shelter and the treatment of animals. They agreed to hold off taking action when they learned we were trying to help. On Aug. 6, we sent consultant Don Jennings to serve as acting shelter manager. Over the course of the next 10 weeks, we sent additional help from among our own staff, past employees from Nevada Humane Society, and experienced individuals from other animal care organizations. (All of this support was provided at no expense to DHAS.) Without exception, the individuals reported grave and disturbing accounts of what is happening at DHAS, related to animal care and management practices. The team we sent in attempted to address numerous short-term crises — including transferring numerous cats and dogs to Washoe County for care and adoption — and Don specifically tried to set DHAS on a long-term path toward stability. They were thwarted at most turns, often with outright hostility, erratic behavior, and behind-the-scenes sabotage. Through it all, those sent in by Maddies Pet Project in Nevada persevered in order to help the animals. Finally, on Oct. 23, Don was ordered to leave, and Ellen announced that DHAS was ending any relationship with MPP-NV. Two board members have since resigned. As experts in animal shelter management — including running Nevada Humane Society for seven years while making it a national model for lifesaving and teaching the Animal Shelter Management Certificate Program for the University of the Pacific — we know the situation at OHAS is dire and needs immediate attention. Below are three sections of highlights about animal concerns, financial and legal concerns, and what we accomplished before ties were severed —these are just highlights; many more details and examples could be offered. In addition, we have included photos and attached separately eyewitness accounts of activity at DHAS. Finally, we urge you to call in all four county animal control officers and their lieutenant to hear their perspectives on the poor shelter conditions, board member behavior, and progress made by MPP-NV. Respectfully, Diane Blankenburg, Banney Brown, Mark Robison £e€ t/OAhL&i1 F----- 7250 Pembroke Dr. Reno, NV 89502. 858-395-3677 Animal Care Concerns While numerous actions (listed later) were taken by Maddie’s Pet Project in Nevada (MPP-NV) to improve conditions for the animals at Desert Haven Animal Society (OHAS), many animal care issues persist. • At least eight dogs deemed too aggressive for adoption because they would be a danger to the community are languishing in small kennels with little room to move and no social interaction or enrichment because they are too dangerous even for the staff to handle. By standard animal sheltering protocols, this is considered inhumane. These dogs were assessed by the chief operations officer of Nevada Humane Society (Art Westbrook) who agreed that the dogs should be euthanized. Don’s repeated efforts to provide humane euthanasia for these dogs were rebuffed by Ellen Arntz and other board members. • Basic disease prevention and cleaning protocols are not followed and not understood by staff and board members.

  • Goln' to the DOGS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 6 (1998) GOlN’ TO THE DOGS By Paul M. Bennett They're off and running excitedly and enthusiastically chasing that elusive rabbit. The long since departed and all but forgotten, All-America Football Conference was a professional football league that had "gone to the dogs." Literally! Some football fans, such as those dour National Football League diehards (you know who you are), would say that "going to the dogs" definitely had described the AAFC's level of play during the league's all too brief, four-year tenure as a fiery competitor to the established pro league. Their argument was further reinforced after the league finally called it quits following the end of the 1949 season, when three of its teams (Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts) were absorbed, or merged (if one is kind), into the NFL commencing with the 1950 season. AAFC fans would simply say "pooh" to those NFL naysayers. What did they know? Haughtiness and arrogance seemed to have been their credo. Conservative to a fault. A new idea must be a bad idea! The eight-team AAFC had played football at a level that was both entertaining to the viewing public and similar in quality to that of the older, ten-team league. The only problem the AAFC seemed to have had was its overall lack of depth, talent-wise, and, more importantly, its lack of adequate team competition. The AAFC's chief asset had been the powerful and innovative Cleveland Browns, arguably one of professional football's most dominant franchises.

  • Forty Years Later: Where the '72 White Sox Are Now
    Forty Years Later: Where The '72 White Sox Are Now By Mark Liptak and Paul Ladewski Posted on Friday, May 17 Forty years have passed since the 1972 White Sox team breathed new life into the franchise in one memorable season. Here's where the core players have been since then and where they are now: Cy Acosta, pitcher. The reliever spent three of his four major league seasons in a White Sox uniform. In 1973, his 18 saves ranked fifth in the league. The same year he became the first American League pitcher to bat in the designated hitter era. The 65- year-old resides in Mexico. Dick Allen, first base. He was the runaway winner in the 1972 American League Most Valuable Player vote, as he had career-highs in RBI (113), bases on balls (99) and on-base percentage (.420). The career .292 hitter played for five teams in15 seasons, after which he served as an advisor and instructor for several years. Now 70 years old, he resides in western Pennsylvania. Luis Alvarado, shortstop. In 1972, the Puerto Rican utilityman took part in a career-high 102 games. Two years earlier, the former International League Most Valuable Player was acquired in the trade that sent shortstop Luis Aparicio to the Boston Red Sox. Died at age 52 on March 20, 2001. Mike Andrews, second base. Also a part of the Aparicio trade, he started 143 games in the 1972 season, his last as an everyday player. One year later, he became the first DH in franchise history.

  • Indians Catch Spring Fever on Truck Day by Jordan Bastian / MLB.Com | @Mlbastian | February 5Th, 2016 CLEVELAND -- a Pair of Mo
    Indians catch spring fever on Truck Day By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | February 5th, 2016 CLEVELAND -- A pair of moving trucks pulled out of Progressive Field on Friday morning, beginning the annual cross-country journey from Cleveland to Goodyear, Ariz. There is no word yet whether the trucks saw their shadows, but spring is definitely arriving fast for the Indians. "I don't know what they're talking about with this Punxsutawney Phil," quipped Marty Bokovitz, the Indians' assistant home clubhouse manager. "This is the first day of spring right here, isn't it? When the trucks roll out, everybody gets excited. Spring is starting. Baseball's back. It should be a holiday." Each year, Truck Day signals that the offseason is nearly over. The two 53-foot trucks will roll through enemy territory across the Midwest with large Indians decals covering the sides of one of the trailers. Ed Fisher, who has been driving one of the trucks for the Tribe for the past nine years, said the artwork that was placed on the truck last year led to some fanfare during his 2,000-mile drive through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. "I've had a few people honk their horns and wave and take pictures," Fisher said with a smile. Fisher will haul the lead truck once again this year, pushing through 11-hour days along Interstate 40 with a handful of stops. Barring any obstacles with the weather, he typically takes breaks near the Illinois border, and then in Joplin, Mo., and Amarillo, Texas, before completing the final leg into the Phoenix area.
