A Bayonne man with a history of stealing packages from people's porches has been arrested after being caught in the act yet again, according to Bayonne police.

Yesterday at 3:34 p.m., an off-duty Bayonne police officer saw Damien L. Baker, 45, removing a package from the porch of a home on Avenue A in Bayonne, Bayonne police Lt. Janine Foy said.

While walking away from the home, Baker opened the package, took out an energy drink that was inside, discarded the packaging and continued on his way, Foy said.

The officer, who was familiar with Baker from previous arrests, then arrested him for theft, she said.

Upon searching Baker, the officer found items that police believe to be from other people's packages, including a sweatshirt with a tag still on it and a pair of earrings, Foy said. It's not known who those items belong to, she said.

While Baker was in custody, the officer also discovered that he had an outstanding warrant for a theft reported Nov. 14 by another Bayonne resident living on Avenue A, whose package was also stolen.

In that incident, the homeowner had a security camera that captured footage of Baker removing the package, which police used to obtain a warrant, Foy said.

Baker was charged with two counts of theft and taken to the Hudson County jail in Kearny on a $15,000 bail with a 10 percent option. He made his first court appearance today at Central Judicial Processing in Jersey City.

Foy said he was arrested four separate times in Bayonne between January and March this year for taking packages off people's porches.

Baker did not steal from any one neighborhood in Bayonne, Foy said, adding that one theft took place on 35th Street, another one took place midtown on Avenue C and two took place "all the way" downtown.

Man with record of stealing packages from porches in Bayonne strikes again: police

The flow of the mighty Cocasset River under West Street afforded early pioneer settlers yet another opportunity to harness the river as a source of power to turn the wheels of industries.

They seized the moment in ways as varied as the imaginations of the dreamers who saw potential for success in making needed goods, creating industry in a farming community, and moving beyond dependence upon the land.

The challenge was unique, but no match for their creativity in taming the land and maximizing the utilization of raw materials they knew and respected.

There in that wooded area where they built a dam to impound water to ensure a continuous stream to power the mill, they found a creative solution for most every problem.

Cocasset River

The Cocasset River is a wonder unto itself, rising from a deep bed of peat across Route 1 from the Lafayette House that would be like liquid gold when used to power many early industries in a town that had only one natural pond, the original Shepards Pond, now Lake Mirimichi.

An early use of the Cocasset River was a dam on what was then Granite Street (now Lakeview Road) which filled Carpenter's Pond (now Lakeview) and a second dam upstream would fill Upper Dam to ensure an even more abundant supply of water for power.

The dam at Water Street was authorized to fill what was called Factory Pond to a depth of 14 feet and that body of water, now Cocasset Lake, was in continual demand for a series of various manufacturing operations.

As Cocasset River continued downstream, another dam created Foundry Pond from which a portion of the outflow was directed into Foxborough Foundry to cool the large iron castings such as sections of the Common Fence that were created there.

One more opportunity remained, and that was where the Cocasset River would fill yet another pond before passing under West Street. After filling five ponds for industrial purposes, the mighty river that started in Foxborough when it rose out of a bed of peat ended here in town as well, flowing into Wading River.

A plumber has been acquitted of the manslaughter of a woman who died of carbon monoxide poisoning at a Cork Hotel following her cousins hen party.

Richard Davis (46) a heating and plumbing contractor of Serenity, Killanully, Ballygarvan, Co Cork, was charged with manslaughter over the death of Miriam Reidy (35) from Ballyhahill, Co Limerick, who was found dead in the Trident Hotel, Kinsale, on January 9th, 2011.

Plumber acquitted of manslaughter over death in Trident Hotel

A heating and plumbingcontractor has been found not guiltyof the manslaughter of a woman who died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

46-year-old Richard Davis of Ballygarvan in Co Cork was also acquitted of two charges under the Safety,Health andWelfare at Work Act.

The company he was a director of - Davis Heating and Plumbing Contractors - was also acquitted.

Miriam Reidy was found dead, and her sister Patricia in a distressed condition, in a room of the Trident Hotel in Kinsale in January 2011.

MsReidy, a bank official from Ballyhahillin CoLimerick, died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Throughout the three-week trial, MrDavisdenied all the charges.His companyalso pleaded not guilty to two similar charges under the act.

After deliberating for more than fivehours, the jury of ninemen and threewomen returned a majority verdict of not guilty on all fivecounts.

Speaking afterwards, a solicitor on behalf of Mr Davis said he did notwant to make any formal statement out of respect to the lateMsReidy and her family.

The State had argued that while MrDavis did not set out to harm anyone, he had been grossly negligent in the conversion of a new boiler from natural gas to liquid petroleum gas, and had left it spewing out lethal quantities of carbon monoxide gas.

He had failed, they argued, to convert it correctly, to follow manufacturer's instructions, and to carry out a safety test with a meter when he finished the job.

Plumber not guilty of Cork manslaughter

I was on St. Simons Island last week scarfing down massive amounts of corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill when someone came to the table to inquire if Junior E. Lee had finished his analysis of the recent election. That really puffed Junior up when I told him that.

Part of his delay was due to time he spent treating Arveen Ridleys bull, Lou Gene, who had ticks in his nose and therefore was not interested in a bunch of cows trying to woo him into the pasture for some boy-girl stuff. I asked Junior how that all went. He said it went well and that when he left Arveens place, there were a lot of cows giggling and winking at each other and Lou Gene was leaning against a fence post trying to catch his breath.

Back to the analysis, Junior said that in his opinion the most positive thing that Georgias Democrats can take from the elections is they only have two more years to endure Barack Obama, who makes Jimmy Carter look like George Washington. I told Junior I thought that was a little strong. Junior said Malathion is strong. This is fact.

Was he surprised that both incumbent Gov. Nathan Deal and Republican U.S. Senate candidate David Perdue won so handily after all the talk by pollsters about how close their races were going to be? Junior said I know about as much about polling as I do about sheep dip fungicide. Junior and his pest control analogies.

Junior said polling firms do that kind of thing so candidates will commission more polls and pollsters can make more money before they disappear until the next election cycle. He says pollsters are like cicadas who are here for a short time and then gone; particularly those pollsters who have no other skill sets to fall back on like the pest control profession. While cicadas stay underground for 17 years, pollsters show up every election cycle. Junior says that is why he prefers cicadas. You dont see them as much and they arent as noisy.

Junior says now that the elections are over, I should have a lot of column material with liberal weenies whining and making excuses and right-wing wingnuts convinced that moderate Republicans are a bigger menace to society than left-wing Democrats and who will probably self-implode before the cicadas return.

Toronto does not have a rat problem.

The spectre was raised last week when a pest control company reported that an army of rats fleeing construction at Union Station was invading downtown homes and businesses.

The company, which does not service Union Station, made its declaration after receiving a lot more calls from area residents and business owners.

But TTC spokesman Brad Ross said the agency hasnt noticed any more rats than usual, and the citys pest control contractor, Orkin, actually reported a slight decrease in the number of rats around Union Station, said city spokeswoman Tammy Robbinson.

Toronto is a big city packed with people, garbage and food, but apart from a few high-profile restaurant closures and rat-infested homes, residents have little to fear from their rodent neighbours, city officials say.

Even squirrel bites are more common than rat bites, said George Matsumura, head of the citys rabies control program.

Matsumura said he could probably count on one hand the number of rat bites weve had since he started in the public health department in 1978.

Even if all of those rat attacks had happened in 2013, a person would still be more than twice as likely to be struck by lightning that year than bitten by a rat.

Toronto Public Health tracks dog, cat and raccoon bites and scratches, but not rats. Theyre almost non-existent, Matsumura said, and are counted in the same category as mice and gerbil attacks: other.

Its rare to see people enjoying a sunny day in High Park or Trinity-Bellwoods while throwing scraps of bread to rats, Matsumura noted, which is how most squirrel bites occur.
