Late Washington Man Fond of Cats

Late Snohomish, Washington resident Michael J. Capretta liked cats, he must of, at one time he had accumulated so much cat feces that he’d needed an earth-moving machine to move the pile of it into a ravine near his rural property near Seattle. Maybe he was protecting the cats, maybe that’s why he shot the dogs, at least two by the count of one of his neighbors, probably more. He shot the dogs and drug them away with his ATV so that he could dispose of them in a manner befitting a dog, joining the cat feces in the ravine. And his cats were secure, both freezers full of them.

Capretta killed himself on February 24, 2010 and his neighbor, whose dogs he shot is suing his estate forthe loss of the dogs, emotional damages and damage to thier property. His estate has not commented on the suit.

Donations for considering the purchase of an additional freezer and perpetual upkeep expenses can be made to: The Yellow Press, a certificate of appreciation will be mailed to all contributors of $20 or more.

Glenwood’s Club Roxie to close.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado — Franck Lemarié, owner and manager of the Club Roxie in downtown Glenwood Springs, said that he is closing the nightclub on Sept. 5, due to declining business over the past nine months.

“December is when we saw the numbers really go down,” he said. “They kept going down, down, down, and never got back up. And, it’s getting worse.”

Lemarié, 45, said that when the business opened in December 2000, the club was bringing in 250 people a night. But in the years since, the crowds have dropped. By mid 2007, he said, that a good Friday and Saturday would still see about 150 a night.

“Last night I made $62,” Lemarié said Friday.
