Bearly There

Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground

News Edition: 08/20/2004

I wonder if the bear had the beer-shits the next day?

SEATTLE, Washington-- A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.

"We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around," said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Seattle.

The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers' coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds.

It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.

Wildlife agents chased the bear away, but it returned the next day, said Broxson.

They set a trap using as bait some doughnuts, honey and two cans of Rainier Beer. It worked, and the bear was captured for relocation.

Becks back at it

08.19.04 (4:24 am) [edit]

David Beckham produced an inspirational captain's performance as England swept Ukraine aside with a 3-0 friendly victory that will send Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad into their World Cup qualifying campaign in high spirits.

Beckham, severely criticised for his lacklustre performances at Euro 2004, responded to his critics with a vintage all-action display in which he scored England's opener and made their second for his new Real Madrid team-mate Michael Owen.

A fine evening's work was rounded off when Manchester City midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips, making his international debut as a second-half substitute, fired in a superb solo third.

Eriksson said Beckham had made his point. "For me he has always done very well for England. If he is not the best on the pitch he is criticised and I can't understand that.

"But of course, his performance today was the perfect answer to anyone who ever doubted David Beckham. It was very positive that he had a good performance. It was good for us and it was good for him."

NORTH PATCHOGUE, N.Y. -- A police chase ended when a Long Island motorist drove into a backyard pond and tried to smoke a crack pipe just before his car sank, police said.

Officers tried to stop Yasyn Abdul-Mattin, 32, after seeing him driving erratically at about 12:16 a.m. Friday, Suffolk County Police said.

Instead of pulling over, Abdul-Mattin took off and went up a private driveway, continuing into a backyard pond, police said in a news release.

Police said Abdul-Mattin refused to get out of the car and tried to light a crack pipe instead. Just before the car sank, he climbed out a rear window that an officer had broken, police said.

Police said they were charging Abdul-Mattin, of Smithtown, with driving while impaired by drugs and several traffic violations.
