DenverPost.com - The cost of growth? One wriggling life: "Not 'that type of town'
The Fraser-Winter Park Police Department has eight officers. Most locals say speeding doesn't seem to be the department's main concern. Police Chief Glen Trainor, who did not return phone calls for this story, told the local Fraser-area newspaper: 'We don't want to appear like traffic Nazis.'
Fraser town manager Jeff Durbin agreed.
'Speeding through our town is definitely a problem,' he said. 'We don't have the perfect answer yet,' he said. 'But I wouldn't say we'll set up speed traps. We don't want to be that kind of town. 'You're going to Fraser? Great. Have fun in jail.' We want to balance it with safety, but we definitely don't want to be that type of town.'
Hooser walked six miles into the forest outside of town the day Jenna died. He stopped in a clearing beside a pine and aspen thicket. There he put Jenna to rest in the ground beside Buddy, who died of liver failure two years ago.
'I buried her with a collar,' he said. 'It used to be Buddy's collar. They didn't know each other, but I thought they should be together.' "

Dead Man Ticketed For Speed
Dead Man Ticketed For Speed: By ANTHONY McCARTNEY The Tampa Tribune, Oct 10, 2006
SARASOTA - When Trooper S.D. Murray pulled over a Kia speeding north on Interstate 75 on Sept. 29, he inadvertently gave a ticket to a dead man.
Murray issued a speeding ticket in the name of Angilo Freeland, who killed a Polk County deputy and his canine partner, DiOGi, about 45 minutes after Freeland was shot and killed while hiding in a wooded area near Lakeland.
The actual recipient of the ticket, Christina Richardson of Englewood, hadn't heard of Freeland until contacted by a reporter Monday. She had wondered why Freeland's name and address were on her ticket, however.
Murray looked at Freeland's information and photo on his in-car computer so that he would recognize the 27-year-old if he stopped him, Lt. Doug Dodson said.
When he pulled Richardson over at about 10:15 a.m. on Sept. 29 for driving 93 in a 70-mph zone, he inadvertently pasted Freeland's driver's license info into Richardson's ticket, Dodson said.
Freeland's license expired in 2003. When he was stopped for speeding in Lakeland on Sept. 28, he presented Deputy Doug Speirs with a fraudulently obtained ID card with the name of another man.
Speirs was suspicious, and Freeland ran into the woods, ambushing Williams and DiOGi. Both died and Speirs was wounded in the leg.
When she was stopped, Richardson was driving with a friend and didn't notice the error until she tried to pay the ticket.
Clerks in Sarasota County and reporters contacted the highway patrol, and troopers worked to correct the error Monday.
Murray's mistake won't be a lucky break for Richardson, who will receive a ticket with the corrected info, Dodson said.

Traffic's Cool - A Student Mockumentary Making You Wish That You Are Always Take Your Traffic School Online at www.eStateTrafficSchool.com
Student Mockumentary Takes Third - Daily Nexus Online
Student Mockumentary Takes Third - Daily Nexus Online: "Produced and directed by third-year film and media studies major Michael Figge and fourth-year film and media studies major Steve Prinz, “Traffic’s Cool” recently garnered a third-place award from TheProject.TV, an online film competition. The mockumentary, which features actors from the improvisation troop, lampoons experiences of traffic school.
“[One] traffic school instructor, who lives out of his van, uses his home to give lessons,” Figge said of the film. “He brags about not living with his parents, but then parks his car and sleeps in their driveway.”
“All the dialogue is improv. It’s the same as ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and ‘The Office,’ with odd camera angles,” he said.
Along with “Traffic’s Cool,” UCSB student Kevin Harman made the final round with “The Dancing Llama,” as did UCSB student Eric Reich with “The Scorpion.” All three films can still be viewed on TheProject.TV’s website, www.TheProject.TV.
To win the competition, college filmmakers had to advance through three voting rounds, with a new, roughly three-minute episode for each round, without being eliminated by the voting audience. Any visitor to the site could vote.
“Traffic’s Cool” gained 3,584 independent viewers, Figge said. However, he said he did not have the full number of votes cast for the film.

Governor reverses his stance by signing bill that requires motorists to slow down and change lanes to avoid roadside emergency
By Gary Richards
MEDIANEWS
Less than a year after he vetoed a bill requiring California drivers to move over or slow down when approaching a roadside emergency along state highways, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed course and signed the 'Move Over, Slow Down' legislation.
The bill sponsored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, mirrors laws in 37 states and goes into effect Jan. 1.
'I am gratified by the governor's signature of this common sense solution to a preventable problem,' Simitian said in a news release. 'This bill is about promoting highway safety, plain and simple. I hope that it will put a stop to the senseless deaths of police officers, tow truck drivers, paramedics, and other emergency personnel who are simply helping stranded motorists.'
The law was the brainchild of tow truck driver Daniel Leon of Hayward.
The governor vetoed the bill last year, saying that forcing drivers to change lanes could pose additional risks in a state where traffic congestion is among the worst in the country. At the time, Schwarzenegger called the bill 'unnecessary' and said it 'could result in the unintended consequences of additional roadway hazards' by causing unnecessary lane changes.
In the past five years, errant drivers have killed a dozen police officers and state road workers. Since 1924, nearly 200 have been killed.
In Florida, a law enacted in 2002 is promoted on billboards and electronic signs, and troopers hand out pamphlets explaining it. No officers have been killed by errant drivers since.
The national "Move Over" campaign took off in earnest, six years ago, led partly by Lara Feinberg, whose husband is a state trooper in North Carolina. After his partner was killed in a roadside accident, she led the effort to enact legislation in that state and others.
