CSU team to show its bulls today

With his thick brimmed black cowboy hat above his brow, Scott Martell proudly follows in his grandfather's boots. Martell describes his grandfather as a really good cowboy and believes the cowboy lifestyle was bred into him.

Though it's not always a leisurely life, it suits him well. Originally from Hudson, Martell has been around horses and cattle his whole life. So when picking a career, working with animals seemed natural.

"It's easier to get along with animals," he said. "They are a lot simpler and I'm a simple guy."

And while that may be the case, the cattle industry is not nearly as simple as one would think. As Martell puts it, people don't always realize the education that is needed to stay competitive within the industry. At one point, Martell considered becoming a veterinarian, but ended up switching paths.

Businesses left sweltering, paying big for copper thefts

On the roof of a strip mall near Hollenbeck Street and the 10 Freeway, burglars stripped six air conditioners of their copper coils in recent weeks. Then they returned to pull apart three more.

Although the thieves may have made about $900 for two nights' work, businesses like World Gym, Dental Fun Zone and several others were left sweltering - and facing an estimated $100,000 in damage, said one expert called in by police.

"We have a rash of copper thefts - and not just in our city," said Cpl. Rudy Lopez.

Thefts of copper, aluminum and other metals have increased in recent years as their value has soared, but their worth to the burglars is far less than the damage done to the victims, authorities said.

The nighttime game lights are dead at Little League fields in Montclair and Hacienda Heights because of copper stolen in the past two weeks.
