Police to fire
noisemakers
to rid Mayfair
of birds
[SEPT.
6, 2000] A
program to disperse the large flocks of birds that have become a
nuisance and a health hazard in Mayfair may begin as early as this
evening, with the firing of "bird-bangers" that explode
with a loud noise, according to Lincoln Police Chief Richard Ludolph.
The noise-making devices will be fired approximately every five
minutes from about 6:40 to 7:20 p.m. to discourage the birds from
roosting in trees in Mayfair and send them out into the countryside.

"Make
Your Own Living Trust"
[SEPT. 6, 2000]
In
his book "Make Your Own Living Trust," Denis Clifford explains how to
create a legal document known as a living trust. These documents help you
maximize the amount of your estate that you can leave to your heirs by avoiding
the costly and time-consuming process of probate court and estate taxes. The
author writes that a living trust "enables people with small or moderate
estates…to transfer their property after their death to whomever they want to
have it, without any attorneys or court involvement."

[SEPT.
6, 2000]
September wasn’t looking
like a great month for movie rentals. This week’s releases included only two
movies at my local video store: this movie about football, and a slasher movie
with a guy on the cover holding a big knife and sporting a moronic look on his
face. It felt a little like choosing candidates for the upcoming presidential
election. So, I flipped a coin and checked out with the football film.
