Symphony Season Begins
on SundayStory & PHoto By Karen BoSSicK
Journey from darkness to light when the Edgar M. Bronfman “In Focus” Series explores “The
Sacred and the Profane.”The chamber music series, which
precedes the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s regular season, will fea-ture works by Bach and Stravinsky.
It will start at a new time—6 p.m. each night at the Sun Valley Pavil-ion—and each performance will be about 90 minutes.
Symphony Music Director Alasdair Neale will have a young sidekick in new co-host and conductor Teddy Abrams. An accomplished pianist and clarinetist, Abrams has appeared as a soloist with several orchestras. He was a member of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra for seven seasons and in 2012 was appointed assistant conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
“He’s precociously gifted, extremely talented and bright and he has an unslakable thirst for music. I first became acquainted with him when he played with the San Francisco youth orchestra and it’s been my pleasure to see him grow up,” Neale said.
Abrams has been working with Neale behind the scenes for the past two years, as well as offering a few of the free preconcert talks.
“He will share the podium with me during our ‘In Focus’ Series. He’ll introduce some of the music; I, the others. And he’ll conduct some pieces,” Neale added.
The free four-program In Focus Series kicks off on Sunday with a young tenor, Nicholas Phan. Phan will sing J.S. Bach’s “Ich traue seiner Gnaden” from “In allen meinen Tat-en,” Britten’s “My Beloved is Mine,” and Handel’s “Descend, Kind Pity” from “Theodora.”
The evening will also feature Ives’ “The Unanswered Question” and Bach’s “Prelude from Cello Suite No. 2,” as well as music by Debussy and Mihaud.
Phan was named one of National Public Radio’s Favorite New Artists of 2011. He is considered one of the rising young stars of the opera world, and his first solo album, “Winter Words,” made many “Best of 2011” lists, including those of The New York Times and The New Yorker.
Monday night’s performance will feature pianist Orion Weiss playing “The Devil’s Trill” sonata with vio-linist Juliana Athayde. He will also perform selections from Granados’ “Goyescas” and St. Saens’ “Danse Macabre” and Messiaen’s “Louange a Immortalite de Jesus” from “Quartet for the End of Time.” Weiss will play the latter two pieces with violinist Erin Schreiber.
Weiss is one of the most sought-af-ter soloists in his generation of young American musicians. He graduated from the Juilliard School where he studied with Emanuel Ax.
The Wednesday, July 31, concert will feature Balinese ceremonial music.
The series will conclude with Igor Stravinsky’s retelling of the Faus-tian legend, “A Soldier’s Tale,” in a performance that will include a narra-tor and dancers, in addition to the musicians. tws
Frisbee FunStory & PHotoS
By Karen BoSSicK
When Hank Nico-lais goes flying, Daisy goes flying,
too.While her 17-year-old
master Hank is flying off Baldy on the wings of a paraglider, Daisy is flying through the air jumping and twisting in pursuit of a purple Frisbee at the landing zone at Sun Valley’s upper River Run parking lot.
“We throw the Frisbee to Daisy while we’re wait-ing for our son to land,” said Jane Nicolais. “She jumps eight feet in the air, she can catch anything you throw, and she’s got a lot of fans in the landing zone.”
The Nicolais family were not in the market for another dog when they went to the Animal Shel-ter’s Dog Days of Summer benefit last summer. They already had a 10-year-old Lab-border collie cross named Zeke that they’d adopted from the shelter nine years ago. And they had a 9-pound rat terrier named Star that rules the roost.
But they couldn’t help but fall in love with Daisy, an 11-month-old Lab-border collie that was homeless and living at the shelter.
“She was so very charming. My son said, ‘Mom, we need her.’ I said, ‘But we have two other dogs.’ But he was just so insistent, we ended up adopting her,” said Jane.
Daisy is totally obsessed with the Frisbee when it’s within sight. Try to get a word in dgewise and she ignores you, her attention zeroing in on the Frisbee like a laser.
All she can say in that moment: Throw
it again!But when the Frisbee is put away, Dai-
sy becomes a total lap dog—calm, loving, cuddly, warm.
“It’s like she has two personalities,” said Mike Nicolais, “one that’s obsessed with the Frisbee and the other a dog who was housetrained almost overnight and is totally protective of our little dog.”
“She’s the perfect dog,” said Jane. “She wakes up in the morning and is so joyful and happy. She makes us laugh every day
because she’s so exu-berant. And, while my husband was the one who was most adamant that we didn’t need another dog, now he’s the biggest cuddler on the couch when it comes to Daisy. She’s really added to our family.”
GALA EVENT This FRiDAYThe Animal Shelter
of the Wood River Val-ley will parade adopt-able dogs like Daisy was during its annual gala fundraising event Friday at Trail Creek Pavilion in Sun Valley.
The event is the largest fundraising effort by the 31-year-old shelter, which is a no-kill shelter.
This year’s live auction will feature an African safari, a trip to the Arctic to see the polar bear migration and animal art by Wood River Valley art-ist Brandis Sarich. A scooter package for two will be drawn in a raf-fle contest, and a couple dozen one-of-a-kind homemade birdhouses will be available in the silent auction.
The shelter has facilitated the adoption of more than 12,000 an-
imals. It provides a free spay/neuter clinic, community education programs, a Paws for Hunger pet food bank and more.
Tickets to the benefit are $175 per person and reservations are required at animalshhelterwrv.org or 208-788-4351.

The sego lily is a large white-flowered member of the Lily family, commonly
seen in the high desert country in much of the western U.S. Meriweather Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition collected the first plant of this genus in 1806, near Kamiah, Idaho. The scientific name given this plant translates literally as “beautiful grass,” referring to the grass-like leaves and the showy flowers. Growing about 10 inches high from an onion-like bulb, the sego lily’s slender stem bears only a few narrow leaves and a few flowers at the top. The goblet-shaped flowers have three large satiny white (sometimes tinged lilac or yellow) petals with yellow bases and three narrower sepals arranged alternately with the petals. Inside the flower are cherry red and yellow markings. Western Native Americans deemed the bulb-like roots of
the sego lily a great delicacy and shared this knowledge with the Mormon pioneers in Utah. The name sego comes from the Shoshone, meaning edible bulb. The pioneer families ate the bulbs of the sego lily during a famine caused by crickets devouring their crops between 1840 and 1851. The sego lily was later designated as the Utah State Flower. Amateur wild food enthusiasts should be warned that in the pre-bloom state, the sego lily could be confused with the death camas, with perilous results. The Lily family includes many important food and orna-mental plants, and several other local wildflowers including the blue camas and death camas.
Want to learn more? Join the ERC for the last Wildflower Walk of the season on July 25, meeting at the Sawtooth Botanical Gar-den at 9:30 a.m.
Sego Lily in the High Desert
Rush skeletonweed is one of Blaine County’s newest noxious weed invaders. It
has been in the southern part of the county for several seasons, but this year is slowly creep-ing farther and farther north. Skeletonweed, a perennial or biennial up to three feet tall with wiry branched stems and milky sap, is originally from southern Europe. It is characterized by bright yellow flowers and ro-settes very similar to dandelions. Skeletonweed disperses long dis-tances and has so much energy that it can bloom and seed after being pulled. (Because of this, please bag and throw away after pulling!). Soil disturbance and establishment, and the exten-
sive and deep root system make Skeletonweed difficult to control. We encourage you to learn about skeletonweed and help stop it be-fore it finds its way to even more areas of our beautiful county. If you think you have skeleton-weed, or any other noxious weed on your property (remember, it is state law that property owners manage the weeds on their property), call the Blaine County Weed Department. We can help identify weeds and come up with a management plan that works for the land. We are located in the Blaine County Annex build-ing in Hailey, or give us a call at 788-5516, or find us online at www.blainecounty.org

“God called the dry land earth and the gathering of the waters He called seas, and God saw it was good. Then God said, “Let
the earth sprout vegetation yield-ing seed and fruit trees on the
earth, was so. The earth brought forth vegetation… and God saw
it was good.” –Genesis 10-12.

For once I agree with God. It took the city a little longer than two days (about 100), but I’ll take it. There was a palpable sign of relief as the spray from the hose landed on every waiting leaf, stem and root. The garden looked as if it was resigned to its fate, hundreds of plants huddled in their defensive stances, cry-ing. After the hose was hooked up, I had to water for about 1 1/2 hours, to much applause. The first sign of a return to life was immediate. The birds got loud and soon followed in the hose’s wake, sipping from leaves, look-ing for bugs and worms. With the dust of despair washed off, everything looked greener, rising from the water-darkened earth. As I sat down, satisfied, dozens of blackbirds and songbirds descended into the meadows and brush, into the aspen trees and willows and plums, or just pecked at the open ground. In two hours the Habitat was trans-formed from subsistence to the bounty of hope. I could both see and sense a renewed life energy.
Because this garden was designed to be a rugged, low-wa-ter Idaho expanse, basically everything survived, and some thrived, mostly protected by shade cast by taller neighbors on their western side. They escaped the brutal, long afternoon sun. For a handful of species the late May and June rains were enough. Gaillardias (Indian blanket flower) absolutely loved this Spartan regimen. Xeric
plants will grow taller and be more abundant with some water, but they still come up and go through their life cycles, though in an abbreviated form. These conditions were also ideal for the mountain mahoganies, which had significant growth spurts. The older, well-rooted inhabi-tants kept right on growing. The shade providers took the brunt of the punishment. Their leaves were curled and dry at the edges. They sacrificed themselves and allowed the fescues, the elderberries, the carpet of wild strawberries and a lone Rocky Mountain maple to do just fine, along with the Osier dogwoods. The sky-blue mountain pentste-mons prospered everywhere. The scarlet gilia were undaunted, the sunflowers sprouted (though they would stay small unwa-tered), the cornflowers (bachelor buttons) proliferated normally. The columbines simply short-ened their cycles from bloom to seed. A lot of plants simply did not linger. Some passed on the whole experience. The unhappy outnumbered the happy about five to one, but that’s because there are a lot of species here, and each has specific require-ments. In gardens, like in our lives, one size does not fit all, no matter what Henry Ford said about his black Model-Ts.
I feel like Ben Bernanke, watering the financial markets with printed dollars. Watering with a hose is a thrill because I can see things come to life. Day lilies are shooting up their buds. Rose blossoms are lasting longer. The meadows, seeded in May, are coming up. The starving know there’ll be a tomorrow. They can expand their roots and plan for an abundance. May we say the same.

A Trial By Jury by D. Graham Burnett, hardback, 183 pages,
2001, autobiographic
By margot Van Horn
In looking at the reviews about this book on the Amazon book website, I
encountered a great diversity of opinions—no middle ground. Many reviewers thought that the author, who was the Jury Foreman, was a pompous creature and missed the point of the American trial by jury, yet others thought that it was a very revealing and well-told true tale of how the jury system does work in our country. I fall in the latter category and, in thinking about the recent Zimmerman trial as well as other controversial trials, I thought that this book was of great interest. Whether you have or have not ever been on a jury, I hope that if you have not read this book, you might also find it very interesting.
I felt this book offered a very thought-provoking narrative of the author’s encounter with the details of an awful, brutal crime involving some very unique people, an acerbic judge, and the trials and tribulations of a se-questered jury trying to come up with a decision that they could live with. It also delves into the jurists’ various personalities and the hardship of trying to get along with each other under
truly restrictive circumstances that made the atmosphere claus-trophobic. It portrays how messy our jury system can be.
The author holds a Ph.D. in history and teaches history and the history of science at Princeton. Consequently, he is a thinking man and some of his questions and conclusions bring up some very interesting and basic issues of democracy in this land as pertaining to law and our legal system, such as: the definition and difference between law, justice, and force; the law regarding the proving of a case beyond a reasonable doubt (should it be ignored?); does justice really just belong to God, and men only have the law to rule?; the terrifying power of the state so that the burden of proof was a way to protect the citizens from the power of the state; and what not guilty really means.
I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in democracy, law, and our jury system.
Additionally, Burnett has since written two other books that have gained good reviews and could be very interest-ing. They delve more with his expertise. The latest one is The Sounding of the Whale: Science and Cetaceans in the Twentieth Century.

It’ll include rodeo clowns, bull riding featuring bucking Brah-ma bulls from the Silver Spring ranch south of Bellevue and a Texas country music concert after the show.
And it’s all about eight seconds. Sitting on the bull for
eight seconds is all it takes for a cowboy to take home a big shiny belt buckle and a sack of money in his pickup truck. But eight seconds seems like an eternity on those feisty Brahma bulls.

Rescue Dog Makes Believer out of SkepticBy Karen BoSSicK
They found her in the dumpster at the old Red Elephant Saloon in Hai-
ley—a puppy that had apparent-ly cultivated a taste for prime rib two months into her life.
She came into our lives four months later when everyone convinced us newcomers to the Wood River Valley that you can’t live here without a dog at your side.
I was reluctant—I’d never had so much as a goldfish before and I was uncertain whether I was up to the task of having a pet. Nevertheless, I followed my husband to the animal shelter one Sunday afternoon in early March.
The little reddish dog imme-diately greeted us with a little dance that would become her signature “Welcome back” greet-ing and “Yippee! We’re going on a hike!” celebration. And my husband was smitten.
I, however, wanted to see the other dogs first.
“You don’t shop for a dog like you shop for a couch,” my husband told me. And, so, a bit reluctantly, I agreed to his “love-at-first-sight” hunch.
“We have to change her name,” said Michael, as we walked her home. “I don’t want to feel like I’m calling a hooker every time I yell ‘Sheila!’ ”
“She’s plucky,” I responded. “How about Banjo?”
The name stuck and I stuck to her like glue that night, curling up on the floor with her to let her know she was now a welcome part of our home.
All seemed well until my husband took her out to pee just before bed a few nights later. In a flash, she disappeared into the pitch black.
“We’ve lost her,” he wailed. “She doesn’t know her home well enough to find her way back.”
He was wrong.At 2 in the morning, he awak-
ened to a thump on the porch. There she was with her show-and-tell prize—a cow bone that looked like a dinosaur bone next to her tiny body.
Bear be gone!Banjo was the perfect starter
dog, as she never dug, chewed or barked. She loved running around the house at breakneck speed and she loved meeting other dogs, defusing even the meanest ones. She relished cross-country skiing as much as we did and she would rather go hiking than eat.
Banjo was more modest than most people, wandering clear off trails and hiding behind bushes so no one would see her pee. She would walk three feet around a puddle to avoid getting her paws muddy. And the thought of crossing a creek a half-foot wide terrified her at first.
Eventually, she made peace with water, becoming a prized member of our rafting and kayaking circle. She’d stand in the front of my husband’s raft, putting her paws on the tube and trying to bite the waves as he moved through the rapids.
When a bear tried to invade our camp on the Middle Fork of the Salmon, she alerted us with a nervous growl and helped us run the bear off. The next day a fisherman using the camp had to be taken out by helicopter after he became injured in a run-in with the bear.
Look, Ma!Banjo never let me sleep in
on a camping trip. As soon as a glimmer of light informed the sky, she snuggled up to me with her pleading brown eyes: “Let’s get a hike in while we’re waiting for everyone else to wake up.”
Some critics say that you don’t get to see as much wildlife with dogs—that they scare the wild-life away. Not so. Banjo alerted
me to wildlife I might otherwise have missed by planting her feet in the middle of the trail and nodding her head to one side or the other.
My husband said she often made a high-pitched sound as if she was trilling her Rs, especial-ly when she saw deer.
One hot afternoon we were walking back to camp from the Flying B Ranch along the Middle Fork of the Salmon when she spotted bighorn sheep on the rocks above. Curious—perhaps because of her trilling—they came down to inspect her, going nose to nose with her.
Caught!My husband’s early dictum
that Banjo would not be allowed on the couch quickly came to an end one night when I returned home from covering a story to find the two on the couch, my husband looking as guilty as if he’d been caught with another woman. From then on, Banjo owned the couch and guests would find her staring them down if they happened to sit in her spot.
As much as she loved to hike and ski, she was equally happy being a lap dog, putting her head in my lap while I read or watched TV. She never once acknowledged the presence of the TV herself, save one time she ap-parently heard wolves howl on a nature program I was watching.
She sat up, pursed her lips, looked around. Then she retreat-ed to my lap again.
My husband’s folks spent two summers with us, escaping the heat and mosquitoes in Florida. To heck with the grandchildren. They snapped a thousand photos of Banjo (we counted them), put-ting her face on T-shirts, coffee mugs, in between picture frames and even on clocks.
She knew how to smile for the camera—when she greeted friends she often grinned so hard that those who didn’t know her thought she was snarling. Woe to you, however, if you wanted to turn back on a hike before she was ready. She’d plant her feet and pout and there was little to do but trot another quarter-mile down the trail.
This is where it gets sadA year ago last winter we no-
ticed Banjo was getting extreme-ly thin. She had stomach cancer, which was sucking the nutrients away from the rest of her body, local veterinarians Scott and Randy Acker told us, and had at best a couple more months left.
I couldn’t bring myself to go hiking last summer—she’d been with me on nearly every hike since I’d moved to Sun Valley.
But I found easy, shady, well-watered hikes for her, like the Greenhorn Trail, and she happily plodded behind me at her own pace with the help of pain pills. We planned one last vaca-tion with her—a trip to Canada where we knew she would see all the animals that had fascinated her over the years, from moose to wolf.
When the tears came, Kim Nalen and Barbie Crandlemire
told me about the Rainbow Bridge—a mythological place pet owners hope is true where a pet goes upon its death eventually to be reunited with its owner.
And my friend Marly remind-ed me of Robin Williams’ movie, “What Dreams May Come,” where he died and went to Heav-en and the first greeting he got was from his childhood dog. Any theology coming from Holly-wood, I figure, is a bit suspect. But I appreciated the sentiment, nevertheless.
As summer neared its end, Michael started opining that we should get another dog. I wanted nothing to do with getting anoth-er dog—it’d just break my heart again. It made no sense, I said, for God to allow elephants to live 70 years and giant tortoises 200 years and man’s best friend, a mere eight to 15 years.
On the day Banjo stopped eating and drinking, I gave in—for Michael’s sake more than mine. With Banjo’s approval we returned to the shelter and came home with a 3-month-old black Lab mix. She had a funny looking long, low-slung body and a big butt. But she was full of the joy of life and she came as close to making us laugh as anything or anyone had done since Banjo started her downhill slide.
She curled up against Banjo’s stomach while she tried to sleep. And together we walked a single block—a too-short walk that would prove to be Banjo’s last. A few days later, I helped Banjo out to the front yard where she could watch the world go by as she loved to do. When I returned, she was unable to walk back into the house and I was unable to carry her—the best I could do was to wrap her in a blanket and drag her back in.
Michael returned from work-ing in Boise the next day and we put her down, months after she had been expected to die.
The end was actually easier than the mourning leading up to it.
As I reviewed her life, I real-ized Banjo had given me so much more than I expected from a dog. With her loving nudges, she had taught me how to touch and be touched. With her steadfast unconditional devotion, she had taught me much I did not know about how to love and be loved.
And, in the end, I realized I had been very blessed to have loved someone enough to mourn her, even if it did hurt so bad.
Shiloh, the little girl Banjo helped pick out, gives me a skep-tical eye now and then, as if to say she’s not sure I can measure up to her expectations of her.
She’s not the least bit modest. She can’t fetch a ball any better than Banjo. And she’s practical-ly idiotic about dragging trees down the bike path. But she’s extremely affectionate, kissing me on the ear every morning. She has a joie de vivre that’s contagious. And I know she likes hikes as much as Banjo.
And, every once in a while, as we walk down the trail, I get the feeling that Banjo is right there with us.
never one to sit still, Banjo protests that i’m killing her in this picture taken by Kaz thea at lost lake.

Scarbrough’s Southern RootsBy JonatHan Kane
Caroline Scarbrough, Wood River High School junior, is a Southern girl through
and through. That’s because she was born in Charleston, North Carolina, and moved to Opelin-ka, Alabama, at the age of two.
Scarbrough has only been a resident of the Valley for two years but, amazingly, has no trace of a Southern accent. “Opelinka is a city of about 50,000 that is right near Auburn University. Kind of like how Hai-ley is to Sun Valley. It was great growing up near a college town and I was always going there for band camps.” Has Scarbrough had any culture shock since moving to the Rocky Mountains? “Where I come from is really flat,” she said. “My grandma always said that if you can see mountains, they are really far away, but here you can reach out and practically touch them. Also people in the South talk really slow so I’ve had to adjust to that. What I miss the most is Southern food – especially fried food. If you don’t like fried food, it’s a sin!” she says with a laugh. “I especially miss Southern fried chicken and fried okra. My mom’s new co-workers had no idea what she was talking about
when she mentioned fried okra, so that was pretty funny.”
“The other really different thing between the South and here is all the manners we have in the South. I always say ‘yes, ma’am’ and ‘yes, sir.’ It’s just force of habit. I also always say ‘may I be excused?’ when I have to leave the table. In the South we have the stereotype of always moving a lot slower but I still think we get more things done that way.”
Scarbrough’s family moved here because her father works at Marketron. “At first I wasn’t too happy, but now I’m really glad we moved to Idaho. There are so many more opportunities here, especially for kids. I’ve been able to throw myself into things like theater and band, and when you graduate, if you have excelled in academics, you really get noticed. Also when I moved here it was the summer and I didn’t know anyone and that first winter was really cold. I used to think that 60 degrees was cold. But people were really friendly. You can hear horror stories that no one will talk to you, but they couldn’t have been more welcoming. It was the exact opposite of what I had feared. I started hanging out with theater people and I really felt accepted.
My first day of school my English teacher told everyone in the class to hang out with me and that lunch I had a lot of people surrounding me.”
Scarbrough continued, “I can’t compare here to Alabama. It’s like apples to oranges. My school in Alabama was so big that all the real opportunities only went to the upper classmen. Here it’s so different because anyone can participate.” And participate she does—throwing herself totally into any new, exciting challenge.
Have you Heard of AmeriCorps VISTA?Have you ever heard of
AmeriCorps VISTA before today? Did you know
that we have VISTA volunteers right here in Blaine County? AmeriCorps VISTA is the na-tional service program designed specifically to fight poverty. With the help of President John F. Kennedy’s vision, and carried through under President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration, VISTA was authorized in 1964 and founded as Volunteers in Service to America in 1965. VISTA is 5 million Americans doing community service to im-prove the lives of fellow citizens. VISTAs volunteers perform indirect service, which means they help build the capacity of organizations to deliver valuable direct services to people living in poverty or in need. They typi-
cally create new programs, write grants, and recruit volunteers.
Working hand in hand with local partners, VISTA volun-teers: serve, build, and make an impact that changes lives and communities. VISTA volunteers create projects and programs that take on the fight against illiteracy, improving health services, creating businesses, in-creasing housing opportunities, improving college access, and bridging the digital divide.
The commitment made by each AmeriCorps VISTA member is captured in their pledge:
“I will get things done for America to make our people safer, smarter, and healthier.
I will bring Americans togeth-er to strengthen our communi-ties.
Faced with apathy, I will take
action.Faced with conflict, I will seek
common ground.Faced with adversity, I will
persevere.I will carry this commitment
with me this year and beyond.I am an AmeriCorps member,
and I will get things done.”As you go through your day
here in Blaine County be on the lookout for our local Volunteers in Service to America. These community advocates, VISTA volunteers, strive to make our county—and country—a better place for everyone.

Flourish Foundation to expand ProgramsStory & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
The Wood River Valley is about to get a lot more mindful.
The Flourish Foundation, which began four years ago to teach mindful awareness to fifth-graders, is expanding its programs in a big way.
Look for a mindfulness pro-gram for adults called “Cultivat-ing Emotional Balance” to start up this fall.
The Flourish Foundation is going to offer a mindful parent-ing program in conjunction with St. Luke’s Center for Community Health.
And they’re talking with Higher Ground about introduc-ing mindful awareness programs to their camps for wounded war veterans and children with disabilities.
All this in addition to ex-panding their teacher self-care program and their programs for middle school and high school students.
“We’re flourishing,” said board president Dr. Glen Shapiro. “I think we’re making a real im-pact in the community.”
The Flourish Foundation unveiled its goals for the coming year at a luncheon held for 121 supporters at The Valley Club last Tuesday. They had hoped to raise $62,500 for their different programs.
Among the attendees: Hailey resident Marcia Liebich.
“I think they bring a new way of dealing with stress for young people, teaching tools to make people calmer and kinder. And I’m impressed that even as young as this organization is, they’re working with profes-sionals to try to quantify their
results,” Liebich said.Ryan Redman, who founded
Flourish Foundation, told about Etty Hillesum, the adult coun-terpart to Anne Frank, who died in an Auschwitz concentration camp in 1943 at the age of 29. Before her death, Hillesum made meticulous notes about how she was responding to what was going on around her—notes that have been compiled in a book titled “An Interrupted Life.”
“Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it toward others,” she wrote. “And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.”
Redman led the audience through a brief meditation exercise similar to that which the Flourish Foundation uses with 500 fifth-graders. The idea: To empower students to achieve emotional balance. Also, to help them understand that what they think and do does matter and that they can influence life around them with random acts of kindness.
Elizabeth Sturges, a Bellevue Elementary School teacher, told of one boy in her class who didn’t know how to control his anger. Following Redman’s presen-tation to the kids, she spotted him deliberately closing his eyes
and taking three deep breaths, rather than lash out as he was used to doing.
Rain Filbert, a seventh-grad-er at The Sage School, said the contemplative practice exercis-es have helped her look inside herself to find solutions. They also help her find calmness when she’s tempted to exhibit her frus-tration with her little sister.
“It’s a very good experience for me because I get stressed and this has shown me how to calm down by taking a few deep breaths,” Filbert said.
The Flourish Foundation is expanding its Compassionate Young Leaders Program to an-other group in Oakland, Calif. It also plans to do its first domestic service project in Mississippi, in what is one of the most impover-ished areas in the United States.
Emilie DuPont, who had just gotten off the plane from the group’s second project in India,
told how her group built a bench out of 200 plastic bottles next to a greenhouse that another group had made of plastic bottles last year.
“In India, you really have to learn patience because you can wait for a bus for two hours and it still might not come,” she said. “You learn to live in the moment.”
The young leaders also learned to communicate with people without talking, she said. They learned the joy of unplug-ging from cell phones and the Internet. They learned to be self-motivated, getting up at 6 a.m. to meditate and practice yoga. They learned acceptance of other people. And they came to understand that what they have is enough, as they encountered kids who hardly had anything
but were still eager to share something as small as a stick of gum with those who had so much.
“Here, we think happiness a lot of time comes from outside,” she said. “There, we encoun-tered people who don’t need things to be happy. They just are happy. We came away with the idea you don’t need to have more. You just need to be more.”
NeW bOArD MeMbersThe Flourish Foundation has
added a few new board mem-bers—Laurie Sammis, Kathleen McCabe and Dr. Scott McLean. The board was formerly com-posed of Dr. Glen Shapiro, Patty Tobin, Mary Ann Chubb and Chris Callahan.
“i’m young. i’m compassionate. and i know the power i hold in the world,” said lena roebuck, who recently graduated from Wood river High School. “(Flourish Foundation) doesn’t push these things on you. they let you figure them out for yourself,” added colby Werley (on the left).
“if you’re feeling restless or unsettled, grab one of these monkeys and hug it to your body,” ryan redman told lunch attendees.
“I think we’re making a real impact in the community.”–Dr. Glen Shapiro

Fishing RepoRtTHE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR JULY 24FROM PICABO ANGLER
Fishing is great all over right now! With the appearance of our
summer hatches happening on all our major waters the fishing has taken off. Trico and the summer Baetis fishing on Silver Creek is good and getting better by the day. A new wave of Baby Hoppers has hatched out on the Creek and the hot weather has brought them quickly to the water’s edge. Many of them are still a size 18, but they grow fast. Fish small Hoppers in the coming weeks, and you may be pleasantly surprised. Hatches and Spinner Falls get started on the Creek around 8 a.m. The afternoon is Damsel Fly time and the evening hours are a smor-gasbord of all the day’s bugs.
The Big Wood is fishing really well. The Caddis activity is strong enough to keep fish rising throughout the day, especially on the shady runs. If you want to throw big foam, try big black Terrestrials. The fish are obsessed with it, and many fish are sitting shallow waiting for this opportunity. Even if they don’t eat the fly they will come up and give away their position. When this happens simply go back over the fish with a Caddis or Adams and hold on. Just be sure to only show them the big fly once. If they don’t eat it, don’t scare them with multiple presentations, just change the fly.
The Big Lost is Crane Fly madness these days, and you can expect the Trico there anytime. The upper Lost River is fishing really well, with large to medium size attractors doing the trick. Royal Trudes, Yellow and Orange Turck’s Taran-tualas, and Chernobyl Ants are all favorites.
On the South Fork of the Boise the Stonefly action is winding down, with the Hopper and Pink Albert action about to ramp up! Anglers may also find some quieter days down there right now as the rush to fish the Salmon Fly abates. Cica-das are still present and are a great choice for casting big foam out of the drift boat.
All in all, the fishing is fantastic. Expect the hours to keep getting earlier and earlier and later and later in the day, for the best fishing, but once the fish lock onto Hoppers we’ll have great fishing no matter when you go. Have a great time on the water, be safe, and we’ll see you in Picabo!
Happy Fishing Everyone!

Galena Peak Hike Showcases Idaho Conservation League’s Birthday
Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
At 11,125 feet, Galena Peak doesn’t endow its climbers with the halting, head-
achy feeling you get trekking to base camp at 29,035-foot Mount Everest or the 26,545-foot Anna-purna.
But with a 3,386-foot elevation gain in 2.4 miles, the steps at the top become more plodding, more measured, as hikers sink footstep after footstep into loose shale.
Muffy Ritz didn’t appear the least bit fazed as she moved onto the top of the peak towering above the Galena Nordic trails. She pulled out a rock that she had carried up in her small day-pack. Then she dropped onto all fours and performed 40 pushups.
“It’s the ICL’s 40th birthday so can you guess what we’re going to do when we get to the top?” she had told a dozen hikers assembled in the Galena Lodge parking lot a couple hours earlier.
“Sing happy birthday?” one asked.
“Not!” said Ritz, who was guiding the trek up Galena Peak for the ICL. “In true Vamps fashion, we’re going to do 40 pushups.”
Supporters won’t have to drop to the ground and do 40 pushups when the Idaho Conservation League celebrates its 40th anniversary Thursday. They just have to raise their glasses in salute to a non-profit organiza-tion that has spent four decades at the forefront of conservation in Idaho.
Last week’s trek up Galena Peak was one of a series of hikes the ICL offers each year to acquaint Idahoans with parts of their backyard that they might not be familiar with. Over the years, ICL guides have led hikers to Mormon Hill in the backcountry north of Carey, to the headwaters of the Salmon River at the base of Galena Pass, even to Driveway Gulch, a not-so-well-known hike on the back side of East Fork Canyon just south of Ketchum.
“People who try to climb Gale-na Peak get discouraged because the trail is pretty sketchy. So you’ve got to be confident that when you get to the ridge there will be a trail,” Ritz said.
The trail is like climbing the stairs of a 310-story apartment building—without steps. In many places, it’s so steep that you have to make your steps as quick as possible to keep from sliding backwards.
“Up, up and away. Up it goes,” said Joney Otteson, who works at Atkinson Park.
Fifteen minutes into the climb Ritz stops to give those bringing up the rear a chance to catch up. To kill time, she asks those in the forefront to guess how high they’ve gone.
“I can tell how high we’ve gone by how much I’m sweating,” said Brenda Spackman as she guess-es 768 feet.
Only 2,600 feet to go.We continue our Stairstepper
climbing, grateful that we have moved into the woods—the trees shading us from the heat of a day that will top out near 90
degrees in Ketchum and Hailey.Ritz shows us how we can
reduce the strain on our quads by stepping onto one foot, nearly straightening the leg before repeating the measured process on the other.
“This puts your weight on the bone structure, instead of your muscles,” she said.
Brilliant stands of trum-pet-like scarlet gilia, bright purple penstemon and lavender lupine line the ragged path. They’re still in their prime, in contrast to the wildflowers that are beginning to look frazzled in the summer heat that has beset Sun Valley.
These flowers give way to oth-ers, including the lighter colored mountain penstemon at top—all of which make us wonder how they can possibly survive in rocky, high-elevation surround-ings constantly raked by wind.
As we emerge from the woods, we can see clearly the prize—Galena Peak. But the prospects of getting there seem daunting. It goes up and up at a rakish angle and, at a distance, there is no hint of a trail.
But we plug away, one step at a time, glad we have hiking poles to keep us from sliding backwards in some of the steeper portions of the trail as our feet sink into the loose rock.
About two hours after we started, we top out.
Muffy drops to all fours and does 40 pushups, as promised. Only Brenda Spackman and Joney Otteson seem of any mind to add to the count.
The rest of us are busy scan-ning the 360-degree panoramic view that encompasses Castle Peak in the White Clouds, Ryan and Kent peaks in the Boulder Mountains, the Sawtooth Moun-tains and even Galena Summit, which for the first time in my life
seems way below.The ICL has been working
with Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson to protect the Boulder-White Clouds, which are part of the largest unprotected roadless area in the lower 48. Official protection in one form or another remains a dream.
But the ICL, which was found-ed in 1973, has accomplished a number of other goals, including working with phosphate mining companies to dedicate profits to improving habitat in the Black-foot River; defeating a proposal to burn garbage at the Ada County landfill that would have resulted in tons of toxic air pol-lution and ash; and working with private donors and ranchers to permanently remove cows from the fragile Owyhee Wilderness area.
It passed Idaho’s first county-wide open space measure for Blaine County; helped defeat the Sempra coal-fired plant in the Magic Valley; and helped create Wilderness designation for the Owyhee Canyonlands.
“Forty years is a long time for an organization like the ICL,” said Dani Mazzotta, who heads up the ICL office in Ketchum. “The organization has grown from a bunch of volunteers to 18 staff in three locations who deal with a whole gamut of different issues, including protecting our water and air. We kicked off our 40th anniversary celebration in January at Boise State Universi-ty and will finish it in Sandpoint in September.”

By Karen BoSSicK
He was running low on zzz’s. But that didn’t prevent Ketchum para-
gliding pilot Gavin McClurg from shattering the North American paragliding record for distance last week.
McClurg flew 240 miles from the top of Baldy to the edge of Canyon Ferry Lake outside Helena, Mont. The 7.5-hour trip broke the previous record of 204 miles set by his friend Nick Greece of Jackson Hole, Wyo., last summer.
“I want to beat my own record. I want to go farther,” McClurg said. “I landed at 6:20 p.m., when I could have flown for at least three more hours. But there was a huge overdevelop-ment—rain—to my south, and the wind from the west was too strong to head north, so I ran out of options. On a good day, I could have easily flown another 60 to 80 miles.”
McClurg, 41, nearly didn’t launch on July 15, the day he broke the record. Just the day before, he had achieved a personal best, flying to a spot near Bozeman, Mont., where he just missed beating Hailey pilot Nate Scales’ state record of 319 kilometers.
He returned to Ketchum at 3:30 in the morning and Mc-Clurg was on his way home to go to bed when he heard from fellow pilots that launch conditions looked good.
He borrowed a tank of oxygen from Mike Pfau, grabbed a sandwich and can of Red Bull and jumped on the gondola to race up the hill before the launch window slammed shut.
Launching 20 minutes behind the other pilots actually proved fortuitous, as Matt Beechinor and Mitch Riley had to land because the thermals weren’t happening. By the time McClurg launched, the clouds had cleared up.
He got plucked up like a feath-er to 12,000 feet, gliding over the back of the Boulder Mountains, then the north end of the Big Lost Mountains and, finally, over the Lemhis. He cruised into Montana, watching “one stun-ning moment after another” from the platform of his body harness, his supplemental oxygen protect-ing him against hypoxia which could have shut down his ability to make sound decisions.
He sailed over the Beaverhead Mountains and past Butte while Ketchum pilot Matt Beechinor chased him 18,000 feet below in his Subaru Outback, following McClurg with a GPS tracking device.
Beechinor put 840 miles on his car in the 16-hour round trip.
surviving downward spirals
When McClurg touched down there were 40 folks from the Helena Mental Health Facility there to greet him, serving up
a burger from their barbecue while he waited for Beechinor to catch up. The two pilots topped the night off with “a few weirdos singing karaoke German death metal” in a Butte bar.
The lack of sleep actually helped, McClurg said.
“I was flying in the strongest conditions I’d ever flown in,” he recounted. “It was really windy, which tends to be dangerous for paragliding. I was going through these amazing pendulums going way high, then pitching way low. Having little sleep tamed every-thing down. If I had had more sleep, I might have been more ramped out. Being a little sleepy desensitized me.”
A self-confessed adrenaline junkie, McClurg didn’t start paragliding until a few years ago, preferring rock climbing, kite surfing and other sports that he thought would keep him more grounded. But his wife, Jody MacDonald, persuaded him to try it. He quickly became hooked, even moving to Sun Val-ley last July after a paragliding trip to Haiti in which Greece had told him the three best places to fly were Sun Valley, Jackson Hole and an area in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Mam-moth, Calif.
“I’ve flown in the Himalayas, in South and Central America, in Africa and all across the European Alps. But I haven’t flown anywhere as intense as Sun Valley. In the middle of the day it’s the strongest site I’ve flown. I truly believe it’s the best mountain site in the world. And hopefully this record flight proves it,” said McClurg, who had been living in Morocco while he and his wife worked on a coffee table book with Red Bull about around-the-world kite surfing.
An alien worldBefore moving to Sun Valley,
McClurg and his wife owned a company called Off Shore Odys-seys that was based around the sport of kite surfing. During that time they circumnavigated the globe, visiting 50 countries and sailing 54,000 miles.
But nothing beats paragliding, said McClurg, who now skippers twice a year for his new exhibi-tion, The Cabrinha Quest.
“It’s like being in an alien world—a place you don’t feel like you belong. But it satisfies your dream if you dream of flying like a bird,” he said. “Beating the record was pretty surreal and incredibly exciting. Now my goal is to beat my record as soon as possible.”

JON rATeD THis MOvieBy JonatHan Kane
Some movies are bad and then others are aggressively bad. Such is the case with
the new indie flick The Kings of Summer that became the darling of last year’s Sundance Film Festival. In the summer of terrible Hollywood blockbusters I guess we can have a small-bud-get art film that is also truly awful. Where should we start? The movie — a boy’s coming of age story fails so miserably in comparison to classics of the genre, like Stand By Me and Risky Business, as well as the sensational new movie MUD. Badly cliché ridden and having characters with no interest to speak of, The Kings of Summer pretty much fails on all levels. In MUD we have two teenage boys with tremendous depth and in-credible range. In this movie all we are given is generic, one-di-mensional characters that you can neither root for nor even care about. There are also the oblig-atory bad indie rock montages that offer nothing to the story, as
well as arty interludes of what is supposed to be gorgeous cinema-tography of nature at work.
Much of the blame is laid at the feet of first-time (and maybe last-time) director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and the weak screenplay of Chris Galletta. The story follows three boys who run away from home to build a retreat in the woods and become men. Nick Robinson hates his widower father and his best friend Gabriel Basso hates his overbearing parents. Along for the ride is a really weird kid played by Moises Arias who is there, I guess, for comedic relief even though nothing he says or does is even remotely funny. Interject a cute blond that comes between the two boys and there you have it. If you have a chance, skip this one.

Kendall Kinghorn InsuranceFor tHe WeeKly Sun
Kendall Kinghorn Insur-ance has been an estab-lished insurance agency in
Hailey since 1972. Kendall King-horn is a native of Idaho. He first started at Farmers Insurance as an underwriter but found he wasn’t enamored of underwriting and decided to market as his own company. He was an agent in Twin Falls for two years when he had a chance to take over for Russ Horn and move to the Wood River Valley.
Kinghorn loves being a part of the Valley. He has raised three children here and loves the quality of life, the community, and interacting with people. He is an active Rotarian and a member of the Hailey Chamber of Commerce. He intended to go
into management, but being an agent has been a greater reward for him. Farmers writes all lines of insurance, not only for Farm-ers Insurance, but also for other companies. They can cover prop-
erty, casualty, health and life, commercial and recreational. Whatever your insurance needs, just call and talk with Kendall Kinghorn. In speaking with him, it was obvious that he is a mod-est man who really wants to help look out for the people of this Valley. He has a strong sense of ethics, and he looks at and sees the current health issues from both sides. Kinghorn is someone you can count on to help set you up to protect yourself and what is important to you. He doesn’t view his job as a commodity but, rather, as a means to be there for the people who need him. It was a pleasure to listen to his views on insurance and the patterns that he has seen in the past and what the future may hold.

Wine Auction Nabs Record LotStory & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK
They scarcely had time to put a bite in their mouths for all the cheering they
were doing.And it was small wonder as
the bids on a fly-fishing trip in the Pyrenees, a private facto-ry tour of Tesla Motors and a private tour of glassblower Dale Chihuly’s Boathouse climbed past $12,000 and $15,000.
Then came a private dinner party and concert for 40 fea-turing country pop group Lady Antebellum and the crowd went nuts as the bidding climbed past $300,000, past $310,000… all the way up to $320,000.
Ka-ching! It was the larg-est bid ever for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Wine Auction Gala, said The Center’s Exec-utive Director Sally Boettger, outdoing an earlier bid for a Lexus of $130,000.
And it meant more money to introduce the children of the Wood River Valley to art classes, music performances, theater camps and lectures.
When I was 19 one of my professors said that young people are our nation’s greatest natural resource. And students who are given the opportunity to explore their imagination through music, art, dance and theater do better academically, being more likely to go to college and finish, the Gala’s co-chair Robert DeGennaro told the 300 diners sitting under the tent outside Carol’s Dollar Mountain lodge.
Cirque Berzerk performers encouraged patrons to let their imaginations run wild as they posed for pictures with them in-side picture frames they brought to the cocktail hour. Patrons walked through picture frames en route to the tent and dined by the light of chandeliers made out
picture frames.“I used to go to celebrity fund-
raisers and this is more fun,” said Suzie Pearson. “Celebrities need to be stroked. These folks don’t.”
Several youngsters who had received Center scholarships to attend music camps and pursue other art interests returned for the evening to perform for the crowd. “It’s been neat seeing the changes in my body, like the muscle cuts,” said Mariah Davis, who has been studying dance at a West Coast college. “It’s kind of vain, but we work so hard.”
Then the performers finished the evening with an imaginative performance that featured a woman twisting and spinning her way up and down silks draped from the ceiling and a contortionist who could bend her body in incomprehensible ways.
“Our plan was to give people a completely different experience
than they’ve had at previous auctions,” said co-chair Andria Friesen, who owns Friesen art gallery. “I can’t wait until tomor-row to see what people thought of it tonight.”
Another 1,500 people turned out for Saturday night’s com-bination wine tasting/picnic/concert outside Dollar Mountain lodge.
CavaCava’s new executive chef Andrew Nix upped the entertainment factor by stirring up Huckleberry Blue Shakes in a marvelous alchemy of liquid nitrogen. And Christina Cook proved the crowd pleaser once again in the dessert line with a rich, tantalizing chocolate mousse.
Trudi Syferd won a bottle of wine moments after the picnic started, tossing a ring over a bunch of wine bottles.
“We’re talking massive amounts of luck,” Syferd said.
Jack Sept and his wife Anne Jeffery were feeling pretty opti-mistic about the whole thing as they ate the first of five cours-es—wood-fired pizza served up by the Ketchum Grill and chick-en with lemon-thyme vinaigrette proffered by The Sawtooth Club.
“Last year we felt like we didn’t get enough good wine. It’s hard to go drink wine at one in the afternoon, which is when they had the tasting before,” said Sept. “Here, we can eat while other people are tasting wine and then we can enjoy some wine while other people are eating.”
And what kind of feedback did Andria Friesen get about the performance the night before?
No words were needed. Just two thumbs up and a huge smile on her face.

Fennel and Rosemary Beef Tenderloin with Creamy
Mustard sauceServes 6-8
ingredients:1 Tbsp. olive oil1 Tbsp. finely chopped rose-
mary1 1/2 tsp. ground fennel seed1 tsp. salt1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper2 1/2 to 3 lbs. beef tenderloin
roast1/2 C. crème fraîche2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard2 tsp. lemon juice
Directions:Position rack in center of oven

Delicious Tenderloin elder Financial AbuseBy Wendell cayton
Another ugly case of elder abuse made headlines this week involving the rich
and famous. A younger member of the Scripps Media family embezzled millions from the for-tunes of his elderly mother and uncle… investing in wine, wom-en and song and got nine years in the slammer for his efforts.
The story, sad that it is, should focus our attention on a growing problem as our population ages and we live longer. America’s elderly population is expected to explode in the next several generations as baby boomers hit midlife (that’s the sixties and seventies for those who plan to live forever).
Our life cycle goes from total dependency as a baby, to total in-dependence as an adult and back to total dependency as the very elderly. Ask anyone who has ever tried to take away the driving privileges of an aging parent and they can tell you how difficult it is for the elderly to accept this loss of independence. This is the very thing that makes them vulnerable to all forms of abuse, especially financial exploitation.
The problem is exacerbated by our societal reluctance to discuss our financial affairs with anyone, least of all our parents or our children!
Over my career I had been witness, up close and personal, to a number of cases of financial abuse perpetrated on the elderly by family, friends and outsiders. Some of the stories are humor-ous, but most are sad.
The problems are widespread and not limited to race, gender, socioeconomic background or geographic location. The prob-lems occur in nursing homes, extended living facilities and personal residences.
It is not uncommon for elder abuse victims to remain quiet, either out of embarrassment, fear of physical violence, inability to trust anyone who could help, or fear that they will be considered demented. As a result, such abuse can go on for years, undetected or until it is too late to repair the damage.
The best defense for yourself, your parents and your children is an open and frank discussion about financial matters. If you are the adult child, have a talk with your parents about their estate plan. Do they have one? Have they written a durable power of attorney for financial and health affairs? Do they have a financial advisor, attorney or accountant with whom they have confided their wishes and who know or have access to their im-portant papers? Ask for permis-sion to talk with those advisors if the need arises.
This talk should touch on long-term care insurance and the wishes for long-term care when the time comes.
Understanding Social Security benefits and existing retire-ment plans, including company pensions, IRAs and 401(k) plans, is a must. Keep in mind that defined contribution pensions and IRAs require minimum dis-tributions upon reaching age 70 1/2. Significant tax penalties can
result if these are overlooked.
The elderly are especially vulnerable to fi-nancial scams. They fear running out of money so they are fair game to fast-talking scam artists with an investment that purports to return more money at less risk than they might be currently earning. If you have a parent who mentions such a program, start digging immediately and contact a repu-table professional for help!
Finally, make a plan… for yourself, your children or your parents. Get all to sign on to the plan while they understand it. It’s too late when the mind and body break down!
If you are alone and have no family or close confidante, devel-op a good relationship with an attorney, accountant or financial advisor you can trust. Let them know your wishes and keep them apprised of your situation.

Petting ZooMy friend has had many dif-
ferent pets over the years, butmost recently adopted an olderdog she found in a newspaperad. Although she's had her catfor years, she explained that shewas becoming more and morefond of the dog.
When she called to the ani-mals, the dog came running andsat on the sofa next to us. Thecat, on the other hand, lifted itshead to look at us and thenwent back to sleeping on thewindowsill.
"Is that why you favor thedog?" I joked.
"Kind of," she explained."At least the dog comes whenI call. The cat seems to put meon hold and check itsschedule!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,Not long ago I found an ad in theclassifieds where someone wasgiving away free kittens. Idecided to go look since I had acat growing up and loved theidea of getting one again. I mustadmit at three weeks old, theywere all very cute. One was tanand orange like a tiger, anotherwas white with black patcheslike a cow. There was one thatwas all black with white pawswho looked like it was wearing atuxedo. After playing with themall, I settled on one that was allwhite, and called it Casper likethe ghost. The funny thing wasthat I was told the motherwas a purebredAmerican Shorthairand the father was justa neighbor's house petthat got loose. How is itpossible for all the catsfrom this litter to have suchunique coloring? Neithermyself nor the person givingthem away really had anyanswers. Can you help shedsome light?
Carry: Cats are similar to peo-ple in many ways. In addition tothe fact that many of us would liketo sleep all day in the sun, we bothcome in all shapes, sizes and col-ors.
Cash: For cats, the color oftheir fur, eyes or even nails makesthem unique. Although there issome consistency within a breed,their coloring is a function of theirgenetic makeup.
Carry: Pedigreed AmericanShorthair cats naturally come in avariety of colors and patterns.However, true pedigrees shouldproduce kittens with the samephysical characteristics as the par-ents. Once they mate with amixed breed, like the neighbor'scat, you never know what willhappen.
Cash: Those fun fur colors thatyou see are determined by thedensity of melanin in the cat's hair.As the density changes, it reflectsmore or less light, changing the
appearance of the hair color.Carry: Some cats get lucky and
look like they're wearing a tuxedo.Others get stuck looking like acow!
Cash: Much like the hair color,the temperament of the cat isinherited from the parents as well.So it's wise to play with each catto see which one is a good matchfor you.
Carry: American Shorthairs,whether purebred or not, makegreat pets and are among the topten most popular breeds. They arewell known for their good looks,strong health and friendliness withchildren and dogs.
Cash: So with any luck, bothyou and Casper should be baskingin the sun in no time.

Purr-fectAmerican Shorthairs have
always been one of the most popu-lar breeds among cat owners. Notsurprisingly, they have a very longhistory in the United States. It'sbelieved that several Shorthairedcats arrived in America on theMayflower with the Pilgrims.They allegedly snuck onto theship, but were quickly embracedfor keeping the rodents on boardunder control. Later when thePilgrims settled onto farms, thecats were once again welcomed formanaging the rodent population.To Dye For?
Could genetics soon makeblonde jokes a thing of the past?An alleged study was publishedthat claimed naturally blonde-haired people might one day beextinct. Blonde hair is a result ofa recessive gene that must be pres-ent in both sides of the family.However, as people of varioushair colors reproduce, the genebecomes less prevalent. Expertsagree that the proportion of natu-ral blondes may diminish, but alsoagree that there is no truth to thesupposed study. Just in casethough, maybe everyone shouldbrush up on their brunette jokes.
