bacteria. previously undetected in the region. that pathogen can bring on flu like symptoms in humans. like relapsing fever and severe aches and pains. as many as 300-thousand americans get lyme disease every year. it's often tough to diagnose. some of the tell tale signs include fever, headache, fatigue, and a rash that looks loke a bull's-eye centered around the tick bite. if you don't treat the disease. more serious

1 in about 175 million. the city of berkeley has a problem on its hands. too many gophers and ground squirrels. are living in caeser chavez park. near the marina. and they could be causing an environmental hazard. kron 4's jeff bush explains why there are so many rodents. and how the city is taking action. caesar chavez park is a popular spot for an evening walk or throwing a football with your family. but, an overpopulation of gophers and ground squirels, caused by people feeding the animals has become a real problem. robert young in favor of getting rid of

gophers i was playing frisbee with my little brother and almost tripped and fell in a gopher hole about the size of my small frisbee and it was all bad. i almost fell. it would be pretty cool if they were gone. but, there is a bigger problem than holes interfering with a game of catch. the regional water quality control board says that the little critters could be putting the bay at risk to dangerous toxins and contaminations. the park was a landfill for decades and when the city turned the space into a park a layer of clay was placed on top of all the garbage and then, soil and then grass. the problem is the earth burrowing animals are

digging deep enough to get to the clay level and water experts say that could mean that, when it rains, the water could mix with the trash and leak out into the waterputting wildlife in danger and upsetting the delicate ecosystem that so many animals and humans depend on. the city has drawn up a plan to cut the population down one acre at a time. an area will be fenced off and the varmits will be trapped and killed. as you can imagine, there is some opposition to the plan but the overriding concern about the environment seems to have kept most people on board with the plan, even if they don't like the idea of killing off the little creatures. little creatures that are causing a big problem. the city has already hired a contractor and the eradication will begin soon. they are going to do it one acre at a time. i'm jeff bush, at caesar chavez park in berkeley, kron four news. a former u-s soldier convicted of murdering an iraqi family died two days after a suicide attempt. the medical examiner says steven green hanged himself. he was found unresponsive last thursday in his prison cell and was pronounced dead on saturday. green had been serving life in prison. in 2009, a jury convicted him of raping a 14-year-old iraqi girl and murdering her, her parents and her

six-year-old sister. green issued a public apology, which the victims' relatives did not accept. a utah mother was so disgusted by a t-shirt display that she bought every one they had. kimberly nelson reports the store wouldn't take down the explicit t-shirts, so the woman took matters into her own hands. judy cox wasn't expecting to come home with bags of t- shirts from pacsun when she went to the university mall with her son, saturday. "on our way to another store we passed the pacsun store, and i just stopped dead in my tracks." that's because in the store window there were four t- shirts on display and each had a picture of a nearly- naked woman. some are even too provocative to show on television. "the bottom of one woman is completely uncovered and it's a very provocative pose that she's in." judy went in and spoke with the manager about taking the display down. the manager, while she agreed with judy, said the only thing she could do was email the complaint to her corporate managers. "as i was leaving the mall i just had this thought come to me that i can't leave it, i can't let it stay in the window for three or four more days while someone makes a decision." so judy did the only thing she knew to do: she bought every single explicit t-

shirt in the store. "i asked her, told her it didn't matter what the cost was that i just wanted every single one, including the displays, to be out of the store." fortunately, judy says, they didn't have any stock in the back, so she walked out spending just close to six- hundred-dollars. "she really did? i would help pay for that, if i knew her. i think she's great." i showed some shoppers pictures of the t-shirts." "it was so disgusting to me. it's pornography." "shirts like that should not be where kids can see 'em. if you're an adult and you want to buy 'em, that's fine, but that's something that everybody has to go by, and i don't want my kids and my grandkids to have to see that." we weren't able to film inside the mall or the store, but i did speak with the manager, who told me the display went up on wednesday and judy was the only one to complain. .but judy's not stopping with that complaint. she plans on meeting with the city attorney to find out if she can have the t- shirts or any similar campaigns banned from the store. "i hope it sends a really strong message to pacsun that, at least in this community, this is not a standard for us. this is not something we approve of." judy cox says she plans on returning the shirts at the end of the store's 60-day return policy for a full refund.
