Richard Parks was the editor of the Martinez News Gazette who first published my beaver articles way back when. He is now a graduate student at the UCB school of Journalism. He chose to cover this story for some quirky reason. It appeared yesterday in the East Bay Express. The beaver/muskrat footage should be familiar. It’s mine.

Some love them because they’re cute and snuggly; some hate them because they allegedly add to the flood threat in downtown.
