THANKSGIVING DAY
Deyo Note:
As one reader pointed out, there are many worthwhile charities, but it is primarily the larger ones that receive huge attention. It is not our intention to overlook anyone, but there are literally thousands of them sprinkled across the Nation. Many are too poor or too busy to maintain websites.
Please help your smaller local charitable agencies where you can. Often they are the backbone and saving grace of communities that are overlooked by national groups. This is especially true for animal shelters. Many people donate their time to keep these facilities open. They run their programs on minuscule budgets, mostly through donations.
When I lived in northern Colo., the Safeways always maintained a 6'x6'x3' wooden donation box where people could contribute pet food or cash. It was a personal joy to help out. Sorry to say, this tradition has not appeared here in southern Colo.
The other day Stan and I were in the veggie department of a national grocery chain. We watched the produce manager pluck various foods off tables and chuck them into a cart. We asked where all the borderline fruits and veggies went once close to their "best by" date. He shared that they all went into TRASH. Throw out. Wasted. Not even saved for compost.
Why can't it go to the poor? To soup kitchens? To needy families? He replied that it used to, that their stores yearly gave away millions of pounds of still-good food. However, one person had picked up a sandwich from their store, which that person left out on his own counter too long and got sick. He then sued the store. As company policy now, this chain can no longer donate any still-viable food and this was all due to the actions of one individual. We have a truly valuable resource here that could help feed literally millions of hungry Americans going to waste. How sad is that.
In the flurry of holiday celebrations, feasting and gift giving, it is often the poor, hungry and homeless – 2-legged and 4-legged alike – who are most overlooked. Please remember to give where you can. It will be the best gift you ever receive.
We wish you and your family a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving holiday. Even though there is much turmoil in the world, never lose sight of the Big Picture. We are here but for a brief time before the Lord puts everything right. Stand strong in Him and be encourged. - Stan & Holly

What the ... ? Lou Dobbs wants to legalize illegals
World Net Daily
Ex-CNN anchor suddenly champions amnesty, ripped as 'pathetic sellout'
Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, the illegal immigration opponent with possible presidential aspirations, is stunning many today as he recasts himself as a champion of Hispanic immigrants, now looking to legalize millions of illegal aliens in the United States. Despite his long-held opposition to "amnesty," Dobbs now actually supports a plan to legalize undocumented workers.

11-25-9 - The Pew Center on the States (PCS) "works to advance state policies that serve the public interest," through "credible research (to) advance nonpartisan, pragmatic solutions for pressing problems affecting Americans." Its new report titled, "Beyond California: States in Fiscal Peril," says the following:
"Many economists are optimistic that America's Great Recession may be turning the corner. States, however, are not celebrating. Plagued by record-setting revenue losses, the housing bust and credit crisis, high unemployment and a host of other challenges, (they've) struggled through nearly two years of budgetary pain - and are bracing for more."
California is worst off, but hardly alone. Others include Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Pew's Managing Director on the States, Susan Urahn, says:
"America's economic recovery and prosperity hinge in key ways on how quickly and to what degree states emerge from the Great Recession." For many, their "fiscal health hangs in the balance." .... FULL ARTICLE - Source:

Bizarre calf mutilations found on Colorado ranch...
SAN LUIS, Colo. (AP) November 26, 2009 - A creepy string of calf mutilations in southern Colorado has a rancher and sheriff's officials mystified.
Four calves were found dead in a pasture just north of the New Mexico state line in recent weeks. The dead calves had their skins peeled back and organs cleared from the rib cage. One calf had its tongue removed.
But rancher Manuel Sanchez has found no signs of human attackers, such as footprints or ATV tracks. And there are no signs of an animal attack by a coyote or mountain lion. Usually predators leave pools of blood or drag marks from carrying away the livestock.
Two officers from the Costilla County Sheriff's Office have investigated the mutilations but say they don't know what's killing the calves.
"There's nothing really to go by," said Sanchez, who's ranched for nearly 50 years. "I can't figure it out."
A spokesman for the sheriff's office told The Pueblo Chieftain that investigators doubt a person butchered the calves because there is no blood at the scene.
"I've butchered a cow before and I know what kind of a mess it leaves," Sgt. James Chavez said.
Some in the area believe the mutilations are the work of aliens. An area UFO chaser, Chuck Zukowski of Colorado Springs, has been to the Costilla County pasture to investigate.
He told the paper there have been other unexplained calf mutilations in the area, including three in March. One of the other calves, found dead on a ranch near Trinidad, had its ears removed, Zukowski said.
"We're trying as much as we can to find a pattern," said Zukowski, who runs a UFO Web site called ufonut.com.
Sanchez said he has sold off his 32 remaining calves out of fear more would be mutilated. He hasn't decided how he'll manage the remaining 40 animals in his herd.
"It's a big loss for a small rancher," he said.

Chile's Mapuche Indians wage war against history
26 Nov 2009 - In his prison cell in Concepción, a town 400 miles south of the Chilean capital Santiago, an indigenous leader dreams of recovering his ancestral lands.

The model for the "Mapuche nation" he foresees in the central southern region of Chile is based on the autonomous rule enjoyed by Basques and Catalans in Spain.
But the hurdles he faces are numerous, including governmental opposition that extends to imprisoning him and other militants, and a division among the Mapuche Indian communities about strategy.
"Recovering our land will cost us sweat, blood and tears," Llaitul said.
The 41-year-old leader of the radical indigenous Auroca Malleco Coordination was one of nine militants imprisoned after a 2008 attack against a state prosecutor and police.
Chile charged several of them under anti-terrorist legislation dating from its 1973 to 1990 military dictatorship, which permitted lengthy preventative detention.
