...Their Trondheim base may be off the beaten path to Stockholm, but does it matter? Hallgeir Rustan, 34, Mikkel S. Eriksen, 28, and Tor Erik Hermansen, 28 - known collectively as Stargate - are making Norway the next big place for pop. For some artists, the trip is obviously worthwhile. Billie Piper scored a British No. 1 with Stargate-produced Day and Night, and S Club 7 got to No. 2 with S Club Party. Others don't even make the trek. Stargate's remixes include radio edits for Sisqo (Unleash the Dragon) and Mariah Carey (Thank God I Found...
...state is clamping down. Next week, for the first time in 30 years, hunters will be allowed to shoot bears. The two-day target harvest is 175, and if that's not met, archers will try for kills in October. "People are fed up," says state wildlife biologist Bob Eriksen. "The bears are attacking dogs, disrupting barbeques. We handled 1,700 complaints last year--up 85% since 1995. All I do is bear control...
Driving upstate one afternoon, Eriksen, a soft-spoken, bearded 50-year-old, made several stops to appease residents. In Hope Township, he calmed Wayne Forte, whose English pointer, Bonnie, had tangled with a 300-lb. bear in the woods behind his house (the dog escaped unscathed). In Warren County, Eriksen surveyed John Suk's 140-acre cornfield, where another bear had chowed down, leaving a swath of husks in her wake...
...which sounds perfectly unreasonable to Hamburg resident Ethel Martin, 88, shaking her head as she watched Eriksen and his assistant Mike Madonia remove the 140-lb. sow they had trapped in her backyard with the shirtful of doughnuts. "I've lived here 62 years, never seen bears this much. One ripped off a window screen trying to get in. I was hospitalized with frayed nerves the last time it happened," says the widow...
...dismay the bear in her yard will live, for now. When biologist Eriksen arrives, he finds the animal barely whimpering. Madonia shoots her with a tranquilizer and pours water over her belly to cool her down. They tag her, fit a radio transmitter around her neck and extract a baby tooth to study. Then they release her in a wildlife-management area, shooting her with rubber buckshot as she scampers off. That's what Eriksen calls "attitude conditioning," intended to instill a fear of humans. But that fear is often overcome when hunger meets the smell of stale baked goods...
