Those teams were assigned a prop, a character and a line of dialogue that must be used in their screenplay and then drew their genres out of a hat. The prop this year was a musical instrument, the line of dialogue was “A warm drink soothes the soul,” and the character is an astronomy enthusiast. The prop must ap- pear at least once in the fi lm, the line of dialogue must be used at least once, and the character may be a minor character. Teams included fi rst-tim- ers Gus Johnson and Car- rie Chupp of Joseph, who drew mystery/crime for their genre; the team of Peggie Ellis, Becky Blody, Tammie Quinby and Austin Blodget of Lostine and Wallowa, who drew the Western genre; and the junior team of Kierra and Kiesha Naisbitt of Enterprise who drew action/adventure. Returnees included the Mov- ich-Fields family team with sci-fi this year; the Hobbs family team with comedy The Wallowa Valley Or- chestra and the Inland North- west Musicians will present their annual Young People’s Concert at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Wallowa School Gym- nasium. This year, rather than a public concert in conjunc- tion with the Young People’s Concert, this will be the only concert performed. All ages and interests are invited to attend. ten by Daniel M.

Book recounts years in Idaho wilderness Wallowa County Chieftain Jim and Holly Akenson of Enterprise have penned a new book about their 21 years living in the Frank Church-River of No Re- turn Wilderness. “7003 Days” describes encounters with wild- life and nature: tracking wolves and cougars, using mules for transportation and ranch work and in- troducing university stu- dents to life in the rugged Salmon River Mountains of Central Idaho. Holly Akenson is a wildlife biologist cur- rently serving a four- year term on the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission. She attended high school in Baker City before at- tending college at East- ern Oregon University, where she earned degrees in biology and secondary education. She earned her master’s degree at the University of Idaho. Jim Akenson is conser- vation director for the Or- egon Hunters Association. Wildlife biologists by training, the Akensons studied the changes in both the animal and plant lives when wolves returned to Idaho. One of their key findings was the complex- ity in determining whether a wolf or another predator had killed an animal. The public can meet the authors Wednesday, Nov. 30 at EOU. A presentation followed by a reception and book signing is from 5-7 p.m. in Huber Audito- rium in Badgley Hall. The event is free.
