Return to Story IndexWATERFOWL SURVEY
BUT AS EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY EXPLAINS IN THIS WEEK'S WEST VIRGINIA WILDLIFE REPORT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED ONE SNOWY JANUARY MORNING. Nats of chopper taking off DNR biologists take off making their 30th annual winter water fowl survey, migrating, much like the birds they are tracking, along the rivers of West Virginia. :08Gary Sharp/DNR Biologist says: "This is the mid-winter waterfowl survey. We do it in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The purpose of it is it's another tool to manage wildlife populations. The timing is crucial, if they go too early or wait too long, they'll wind up counting ducks and geese already counted in other states. That's why we braved freezing temperatures, heavy ice and low visibility to go up in the chopper and count birds on the water below. :44Gary Sharp/DNR Biologist says: "There are 7 segments in West Virginia, we'll fly 4 of them today, 2 on the Kanawha and 2 on the Ohio. We fly the main stream of water and the embankments as long as there is backwater. 1:06 We're gonna see a lot of Canada geese, mainly black ducks and mallards, but also do an eagle survey in conjunction with this." While the eagle survey gives biologists a lot of useful information, the stuff they get on ducks and geese translate directly into your hunting opportunities. :26Gary Sharp/DNR Biologist says: "This and other surveys are used to set hunting regulations and we've been conducting this survey in early January for 30 years." So, thanks to the cooperation of the pilots who take us up, the survey gets done despite the tough conditions we seem to run into every January. For West Virginia Wildlife, I'm Patrick McMurtry, Eyewitness News. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE WINTER WATERFOWL SURVEY, GO TO WCHSTV dot COM, OR YOU CAN E-MAIL PATRICK DIRECTLY.

Return to Story IndexEND OF WHITE PAGES
TONIGHT WE LOOK AT HOW ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND LAWMAKERS WANT TO STOP CIRCULATING WHITE PAGES. 147 MILLION WHITE PAGES ARE SENT TO PHONE CUSTOMERS IN THE US EVERY YEAR - CHEWING UP 5 MILLION TREES. NOW ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND SOME LAWMAKERS IN CALIFORNIA ARE TRYING TO PUT AN END TO THE RESIDENTIAL LISTINGS: YEE SAYS: "its not used, and what will happen is that people will take them and just dump them in their garbage can." SENATOR YEE SAYS DISPOSING AND RECYCLING 165-THOUSAND TONS OF PHONE BOOKS COSTS STATE TAXPAYERS $17- MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR WHEN THE SAME INFORMATION IS READILY AVAILABLE ONLINE. HE'S WRITTEN LEGISLATION THAT WOULD LIMIT DISTRIBUTING WHITE PAGES TO PEOPLE WHO SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR IT. THAT CONCERNS SOME RATEPAYER ADVOCACY GROUPS: SPATT SAYS: "we can't make public policy on the basis of the assumption that every consumers has fast broadband access and a working computer. that's simply not the case." SPATT SAYS MANY AMERICANS STILL RELY ON THE PHONE BOOK TO CONTACT GOVERNMENT OFFICES, LOCAL MERCHANTS AND FRIENDS. COWAN SAYS: "critics argue instead of taking the directory away, better to let people know they can cancel their delivery with a call to their phone book provider. such opt-out programs have worked well in states like alaska and new york." ENVIRONMENTALISTS SAY REQUIRING PEOPLE TO REQUEST DIRECTORIES WOULD ENSURE FEWER ARE PRINTED, POINTING TO PILOT PROGRAMS IN MIAMI, ATLANTA AND AUSTIN WHERE "OPT-IN" RATES ARE AS LOW AS 1-PERCENT. WITH GOVERNMENT AND TELECOMMS LOOKING TO SAVE MONEY, THIS PLAN IS LIKELY TO GET A LOT OF SUPPORT BUT EXPERTS DON'T EXPECT THE *YELLOW PAGES TO GO AWAY ANYTIME SOON - THOSE GENERATE $14 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN AD REVENUE.

THEY'RE CALLING IT THE 'SAVE DAVE' CAMPAIGN. I believe you should save Dave. SAVE DAVE'S JOB... I don't think dave should be fired. DAVE KIELY'S THE GUY WHO GOT NABBED ON AN AUSTRALIAN NEWS BROADCAST. Which is where they were at their low. DURING A LIVE INTERVIEW AT MCQUARIE'S BANK. HE WAS IN THE BACKGROUND OPENING PHOTOS OF A NEARLY NAKED, FAMOUS MODEL, MIRANDA KERR. Now the pictures he's looking at...oh my God. It's just nude pictures. Were we born with clothes on? "TAKE IT OFF" STRIPPER MUSIC PLAYED... The problem was he did it during a live interview here on 7. AS LOCAL ANCHORS CHORTLED OVER THE STORY. BUT NOW THE "SAVE DAVE" CAMPAIGN HAS COME TO HIS RESCUE, STARTED BY A FINANCIAL NEWS WEBSITE IN LONDON.... And I think the world is going politically correct mad. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF SPECULATION THAT DAVE WAS SET UP, THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A PRACTICAL JOKE, WITH THE PHOTOS E-MAILED TO HIM SO HE'D UNWITTINGLY OPEN THEM DURING THE LIVE BROADCAST. The theory goes that as he opened the third attachment and he scrolled down there was a message at the end of the e-mail that said turn around now. THAT'S EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE PART, WHEN HE TURNS AROUND. nat anchors totally crack up on set watching. NOW HE'S GOT SUPPORT GROUPS ON FACEBOOK...'WHO HASN'T DONE THAT?" ASKS ONE FAN. "POST A PHOTO OF YOURSELF CHECKING OUT MIRANDA KERR TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. Save Dave definitely. "THE AUSTRALIAN" REPORTS DAVE IS WAITING TO HEAR HIS FATE AS THE BANK FORENSICALLY EXAMINES HIS E-MAILS. Next time, Dave, be a little more careful and company--don't fire him right off the spot.
