Super Hero - Bob Tarlau

Make that four super heroes.

The first super hero of 2006 is Carole Hunter. Starting in July of 2005 Carole tirelessly led the way and tried to reason with the Camarillo, Somis, Pleasant Valley Lions Club along with the City of Camarillo and the Pleasant Valley Parks and Recreation Department. Unfortunately the Lions Club, in their great wisdom decided not to listen to Carole and they still think that it’s appropriate to follow through with their plans to set off community 4th of July fireworks within 500 yards of the Ventura County Animal shelter which houses 400 lost and abandoned pets.

Super hero number two is the manager of the Ventura County Animal Shelter Kathy Jenks and her staff who work tirelessly 365 days of the year helping lost and abandoned pets!

Barbara Tarlau noticed a write up about the fireworks situation on the Poodle Club of Southern California website and called upon her husband Emmy Award winning Senior Producer at Fox 11 Bob Tarlau to do a story. She and her husband instantly both became super heroes of every one of my feline and canine friends and their 2 legged friends. Bob started researching a story on June 12th and tonight when his story aired on the 10:00 P.M. newscast it included points of view from both sides. Barbara and Bob I love you both! ~ Hunter oxox

P.S. To all those Lions lurking out there -- hear US roar! Today was a banner day. This morning on Good Day L.A. on Fox Sky brought up the fireworks Fiasco, ABC ran a story during their 5:30 P.M. news report with "teasers" leading up to it starting at 5:00, not to mention Fox doing the same at 10 tonight! The Ventura County Star printed 4 more letters all from local citizens calling for a boycott of your fireworks while they remain at the airport/Freedom Park location.

Hmmm.... let's see now:
CBS2/KCAL9,
KEYT Santa Barbara,
The Ventura County Star,
ABC
and Fox 11/UPN 13
have all done stories with commitments in place to follow up on the nights of the fourth and the fifth.

Rumor has it that the
L.A. Times,
KTLA,
and NBC are all gearing up to do stories.

Purrrrrr away... we are not going to go away until you agree that fireworks at this location are not appropriate!

Want to make the negative publicity go away? Simply commit to not setting off fireworks at this location ever again!

P.S.S. Ventura County Animal Shelter manager Kathy Jenks reminds all of us that there are currently LOTS of highly adoptable animals at the shelter in desperate need of homes...
