METHUEN — In her 10 years of living at 96 Baltic St. in the east end of town, Karen Serafino recalls seeing wild turkeys and deer in the yard.

But never a coyote.

That's until one attacked her family's 10-year-old long-haired Chihuahua yesterday morning. The male Chihuahua, named Cookie, was let out of the home into the front yard around 8 a.m. — like every other morning, Serafino said.

Cookie has been in the Serafino household for about five years after being adopted from a co-worker of Serafino's mother.

While the home has a large back yard lined with trees, the coyote came from the front of the house, near the street.

Driver Says He Did Not See Horse

MILTON, N.H. -- A Sanbornville man was facing a felony charge Tuesday of fleeing after hitting a horse on a rural road in Milton.  The teen rider of that horse was thrown to the ground and suffered injuries, while the horse bled internally due to the impact.

Police said it is important to remind drivers that laws protecting horses and their riders on the roads are very old and very clear: Move over and slow down.

Voices heard! Pipeline rejected.....

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 18, 2012 Contacts: Maggie Kao (202) 675-2384 Eddie Scher (415) 815-7027 Sierra Club Applauds President Obama for Rejecting the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline State Dept. Determines Project is Not in the National Interest Washington, D.C. – Today, the Obama Administration determined that the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is not in the national interest and announced that it will formally deny a federal permit for the proposed pipeline put forth by Canadian oil giant TransCanada. The 1,700-mile pipeline would run through six states, carrying toxic, highly corrosive tar sands crude from Alberta, Canada, to refineries and ports in Texas. In response, Michael Brune, Executive Director of the Sierra Club, issued the following statement: “The Sierra Club and our 1.4 million members and supporters applaud the President today for delivering a decisive victory to Americans who want clean air to breathe and safe water to drink.  Today’s decision represents another down payment on the Administration’s plan to move our country beyond oil.  To paraphrase Vice President Biden, today’s news is a Big…Deal.  “President Obama’s announcement is an outright rejection of Speaker Boehner’s cynical attempt to play political football with Americans’ health.  Unfortunately, we know that Big Oil and their cronies in Congress will not give up their endless pursuit of profits at the cost of Americans’ health and prosperity.  “We thank the President for listening to the concerns of American farmers, landowners and people who care about clean air, clean water and our climate future.” ### Sierra Club85 2nd St. San Francisco, CA 94105 sierra.news@sierraclub.org www.sierraclub.org/pressroom Update My Profile | Unsubscribe | Manage My Email Preferences Connect with the Sierra Club: Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Sign up for the Insider Join Our Activist Network
