Wright, who has been involved in animal advocacy for over 30 years, combines her passionate commitment to animal rights with a riveting whodunit that’s not dependent on murder to sustain interest.” Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) “One of the best-reviewed books of 2018.” Booklife “A powerful tale of the rescue of pets stolen from an upscale Victoria, British Columbia, neighborhood . the best animal book of this or any other year. A terrific rescue story!” Safe Haven Humane Society, Albany, Oregon “Stolen is a mystery that explores animal rights and welfare by giving an honest look at the abuse animals often endure for profit. While containing some hard moments, the story is uplifting, has a terrific ending, and is told through Kieran Yeats’s clear, passionate voice - that of investigator who fights to save animals. Liz Konkel, Readers’ Favorite Book Reviewer “If you have any interest in animals, or are just a mystery buff, you have got to read Linda J Wright’s newest novel, Stolen. All the characters in this book are well-developed, and the story will keep your interest. A great read!” Kathe Stander, Past President, Central Coast Humane Society, Newport, Oregon “Stolen: A Kieran Yeats Mystery was one I quickly got caught up in. The characters were all sharply defined and it was easy to identify, to empathize, and to root for all of them. The author used the story to raise awareness of the need for more protection for animals under the law, and I am always impressed, as a reader, when social issues are able to be promoted in fiction, without taking away from the enjoyment of the story, and this author does it extremely well.” Grant Leishman, Readers’ Favorite Book Reviewer “Linda J Wright has written an exciting mystery that will appeal to animal lovers and mystery lovers from young adults on upwards. Readers are introduced to some of the issues involved in using animals as research subjects, and the heartbreak owners face when their pets are stolen for such research. I look forward to reading more of Wright’s books.” Sandy Calkins, Librarian, Yachats, OR “Wright’s plot is taut and well-constructed. The story’s bucolic setting on Vancouver Island had me wistfully considering relocation. I’m looking forward to reading about Kieran Yeats’s future cases. Stolen: A Kieran Yeats Mystery is most highly recommended.” Jack Magnus, Readers’ Favorite Book Reviewer “We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.” Henry Beston, “The Outermost House”, 1928 For Sheila Crandles ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people helped to bring this book into being. If I’ve neglected to mention anyone, I’m truly sorry. Thanks to my editor Christi Cassidy for being a spelling, grammar, and usage maven, and for saving me from falling down embarrassing rabbit holes. Thanks to my development editor Nancy Fay who told me what worked, what didn’t work, and where to put those bagpipes. Thanks to my beta reader Jac Lambert who told me honestly what was meh, what she liked, and what she really liked. And thanks to my smart and long-suffering partner Martha, for reading and commenting on individual chapters as the book grew. These women are worth their weight in chocolate. Thanks again to some of the poets and writers whose work continues to enrich my life: Mary Oliver, William Stafford, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and the mad medieval genius Christopher Smart. Thanks also to Henry Purcell, whose odd opera “Dido and Aeneas” continues to delight and perplex me, and to writer and psychiatrist Willard Gaylin, whose book “Feelings”, is well worth an annual re-read. And thanks to the people at Cats Paw Books for believing that light needs to be shed on injustices done to animals and that I might be one who could shed such light. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Linda J Wright is a Canadian citizen. Born in Ontario, she grew up in a military family, and spent part of her childhood in France. She lived in Victoria, British Columbia, before moving to Oregon, where she now lives with her partner and their spoiled rotten cat. In the 90s, she was awarded three California Arts Council Artist-in-Residence grants to teach fiction-writing to GATE high school students and won a California Association of Teachers of English Excellence Award for those classes. She is the author of eleven novels, and in 2019 was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Mystery for the first book in her mystery series, “Stolen: A Kieran Yeats Mystery”. An animal rights advocate, Linda has been involved in animal welfare for over 30 years. In 1990, she founded the rescue organization The Cat People, and served as its first president. Since then, she has served on the boards of several animal welfare organizations and has been a consultant to hundreds of animal rescue/welfare groups. In 1999 she was part of the team that rescued Keiko the orca (the real Free Willy) and rehabilitated him in Newport, Oregon, setting him free off Iceland. She continues to advocate for animals through her writing. MONDAY CHAPTER 1 Midnight. I sank a little lower in the front seat of my Karmann Ghia and sipped the last of my coffee. Parked here in the shadows of Murphy’s Auto Repairs, the Karmann Ghia lined up with a dozen wounded road warriors, I was all but invisible. And bored. I had nothing to do but listen to the creak of Murphy’s sign as it swayed in the wind and watch the occasional pair of headlights go past on the highway leading to the ferry docks. And wait. I am not a patient waiter. A particularly icy gust of wind swept across the highway from the ocean, and I shivered, zipping my windbreaker higher and jamming my hands into my pockets. Why hadn’t I remembered my gloves? Late October on Vancouver Island is definitely gloves weather. I wiggled my fingers and found my phone — the phone on which only several hours before I had received the cryptic text that had brought me here to this desolate stretch of highway. The text read: Please help me. I can pay you $500. I have a package I need you to take. Meet me at the Donut Stop on Saanich Highway about midnight. Shrew I’d texted Shrew back immediately but she hadn’t replied. High melodrama indeed! Ordinarily I might have ignored such a strange proposition — after all, I’m an animal crimes investigator, not a parcel retrieval service — but October had been a rough month. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I hadn’t seen hide nor hair of a paying job in thirty days. So I made an exception to my own First Commandment (Thou Shalt Take No Off- The-Wall Clients) and agreed to this nocturnal rendezvous. Just to be on the safe side, however, I parked one establishment down from the Donut Stop at Murphy’s. Caution is one of my middle names. When Shrew drove up to the Donut Stop, I’d assess things, then decide if I wanted to take this mysterious package. “C’mon, Shrew,” I muttered. “It’s past midnight. I’m freezing my hindquarters off and missing my sleep. Let’s get on with it.” But nothing happened. The wind moaned a little louder in the branches of the Garry oaks, Murphy’s sign creaked even more ominously, and a tangle of paper cups, hamburger wrappers, and newspapers went scudding across the Donut Stop’s parking lot in a crazy tarantella. Somewhere nearby an owl hooted, a mournful, tremulous sound. I turned, checking out the shadows for gremlins, and saw the bulk of Mount Douglas looming like a hulking beast against the night sky.

    THAI CHARMS AND AMULETS by q>hya Anuman Cflajadhon Acting President, Royal lnstitztte Tbe belief in and use of charms and amulets as magical protec­ tion against dangers and misfortunes, and also to bring love, luck and power is a world-wide one. It is not confined to primitive races on! y, but also to be found among modern peoples of every nation and faith. In fact "the thought and practice of civilized peoples can not be cut off as with a knife from the underlying customs and beliefs which have played a determining part in shaping the resulting products, however much subsequent knowledge and ethical evaluation may have modified and transformed the earlier notions". 1 For this reason, every faith and religion has in one form or another certain cui ts and formulas, as inherited from the dim past and handed down from generation to generation, from the old belief of magic and superstition, which are paradoxically contrary to the real teaching of the religion's founder. This is inevitable; for the mass of humanity that forms the woof and warp of the woven fabric of faith of the great religions, is composed of many levels of culture. A.B. Griswold says in his "Doctrines and Reminders of Theravada Buddhism" that "within the Theravada there are two very different sorts of Buddhist­ rationalists and pious believers."2 This may be applied equally to other religions: there are always implicitly two sorts of believers within the same religion, the intellectuals and the pious people. It is with the latter that one can :find abundant phenomena of charms and amulets in belief and practice.

    PERSIAN LONGHAIR BREED ADVISORY COMMITTEE Breeding Policy SUPREME UK OG & IMP GR CH GEMKIN STARWIND OVERALL SUPREME EXHIBIT 2012 & 2013 CONTENTS Introduction Origins of the Breed Pattern Groups Genetic Make-up Breeding System Inbreeding Genetic Defects Grooming Introduction With the formation of a consolidated BAC for Persian Longhairs, the requirement to pro- duce a breeding policy has given the BAC the opportunity to review the Registration Poli- cies and Standards of Points for Persians. Some of the policies for the individual pattern groups have not been reviewed or revised for some years. During this time, the Fancy has altered considerably, with the number of Persians being shown dropping dramati- cally, with a consequent reduction in breeders and breeding cats but also, on the plus side, the ability to show longhairs from Exotic or Exotic/Persian breeding at championship level in the section. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders to enable them to observe what is considered “best practice” in breeding Persian Longhairs. The aims of these amendments are to: open up the gene-pool enable breeders to outcross make it easier for breeders to import outcross bloodlines The over-riding factor should always be to maintain health, and preserve the unique qualities of this stunning breed, coat colour, length and texture, beautiful large, round eyes and sweet facial expression, which makes them sought after both for showing and as wonderful family pets. Origins of the Breed The breed’s name refers to Persia, the former name of Iran, where similar cats are found.

Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch.

  • TICA Laperm and Laperm Shorthair Breed Introduction
    TICA LaPerm and LaPerm Shorthair Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: The LaPerm is a distinctive cat that charms everyone it meets with its soft coat of shaggy curls and ringlets sometimes called a gypsy shag. These are intelligent, active cats who carefully think through just how to get that toy placed just out of reach. The name reflects their Native American connection with the Chinook tribe who traditionally used the French definite article when creating new words. Breed founder Linda Koehl thought the cats' coat looked like a loose perm and thus named the new breed LaPerm. It is a lean muscular cat with no exaggerated features as is befitting its farm background as a working cat. In addition to the distinctive curly coat with its mohair texture, the LaPerm has enchanting large, expressive almond-shaped eyes. History : On March 1st, 1982 Linda Koehl watched a brown tabby cat named Speedy have a litter of 6 kittens in a barn in her cherry orchard and witnessed the birth of a new rex mutation: a long, skinny, hairless kitten with large wide-spaced ears, and a tabby pattern apparent in the skin like a tattoo. At 6 weeks the kitten developed a sparse curly shorthaired coat with a brown classic tabby pattern and Linda named her Curly. As she matured, Curly developed a soft wavy coat. Over time, more curly coated cats appeared and fascinated visitors to the farm who told Linda she had something special. She entered six cats in a cat show to see what people thought.
