This Week's Helmeteer #1 is (like Lyman Joseph) also a victim of our dangerous profession. He took a fall off of a semi tractor and is laid up pretty good right now. With all that bad luck goin on I'm hopin he'll bring the Bears some good luck for their game this week with the Rams. Good Luck with the recovery Mark!!
Helmeteer #2 is , of course , very upset with the Bears performance against those nasty Packers. She is probably sending a strongly worded email to the Bears front office and I'm sure that the Bears will be much better prepared for the Rams this week.


11/19/08 Mole leader alert !!!!
 
 this morning Keith "Mole Man" Carton brought another mole in from Ninette's freezer to take the solo lead!!!!! He won't give up and he says he's tracking another as we speak!!!!!! But, although Tim "Mole Hunter" Anderson says he's got no tracks, he's not giving up!!!!! the race is still on....come on everybody, only "Player of the week" and possible "Rookie of the Year" candidate Rich VanWynsberg has brought in more moles over the last 2 weeks than Keith!!!! 
*******OK.....we just got word at AGF that  the makers of the "Easy Set Mole Eliminator" ( the official mole trap of AGF) have jumped into the mix for the mole catching competition!!!!!!!! They are willing to throw in $50 and a new mole trap to the winner of each category of our contest!!!!!!! Biggest Mole...Most Moles.... and Most Total Weight of Moles!!!!!! Many thanks to our friends at The Mole Trap.com for making our contest that much more fun!!!!!!!

 
********For all you trappers without any freezer space for mole storage*********Sid Magerkurth has most graciously offered his deep freezer for anyone that would wish to drop off their prize catches for frozen storage!!!!!!!!!! His address is 15805 Ill Hwy 82, Geneseo  and I'll try to get his mobile # for after hours delivery.......

If anyone has any information about any of the subjects that are under discussion on this or any other website or any newspaper or TV show or conversations between you and AGF employees or customers or anyone else that you might have talked to about anything, like moles, you can e-mail me at
agfinc@nbsmail.net  .....thank you.
