13th Annual PACIFIC RIM ART SHOW Schedule
Our last update gave detailed accounts of the local bears exploring around Starr Hill. We’re bringing you this update since a black bear walked into Rie’s house the other day, through the front door and into her alcove. It was a nice summer afternoon, and Rie had the doors open. A yummy melon was keeping cool in the alcove and this proved to be too great a temptation for the visiting black bear. Her granddaughter, Mercedes, happened to be over visiting when the phone rang. Mercedes ran to answer the phone, which is next to the front door and just about ran into the bear chomping away at Rie’s honeydew melon. Mercedes let out a scream as did the bear and they both ran their separate directions. (The phone call was from a neighbor calling Rie to let her know a bear had just walked in her house.) Fortunately for all concerned, the bruin did not go into the house any farther, since it could have been confused as to how to get out of the house. This would have resulted in the bear rampaging the house trying to find an exit. These black bears are much less threatening than the unpredictable brown bear, but still a force to be reckoned with.

IN TENAKEE
Rie Munoz went to Tenakee with friend and fellow artist Jen Harmon for her Birthday. Rie likes to go with Jen, because she is very disiplined about painting every day--which they both like to do. They also fit in baths, coffee and gossip at the Tenakee Cafe, dog walks and eating crab. Shown here is Rie; Muncie examining the Dungeness Crab we had just pulled up.
