Music is relative for Evanston’s Vamos family
She is particularly delighted that two of her sons married violinists — both of whom studied with Almita when the Vamos family lived in Minnesota and the couple commuted weekends to the Music Institute. “They are great girls,” she said. “We’re doing the Bach Concerto for Three Violins. I call it the In-Law Concerto!”
Friends and family members will accompany the concerto, under Roland’s baton.
There is a charge for admission, but Almita insisted nothing is going go to the musicians. “That charge is for the hall,” she said. “We are all family and friends — no one is being paid.”
The Vamoses have six grandchildren — four study musical instruments and two are still too young. “Wait five years,” Almita said. “Then, hopefully, they’ll all be playing with us.”
Even musical families, however, cannot persuade everyone to follow the muse. “Our brother Seth studied violin until he was 16,” Brandon said, “but now he’s in real estate.”

A report was made to FWP Monday about sheep coughing at Cinnabar Mountain. An FWP field biologist responded by observing the herd and evaluating the likelihood of the presence of pneumonia. Following the observation, two lambs were lethally removed on site and brought to the state wildlife lab in Bozeman for examination. Evidence of pneumonia was present in lungs of both lambs.Region 3 Supervisor Pat Flowers said today, “FWP is currently assessing the extent of the affected sheep in order to determine the appropriate response actions. Those actions might include culling in order to prevent the spread of the disease to healthy animals.”

Idaho and Montana game officials going nuts over failure to kill enough wolves
ontana Fish and Wildlife Commission has extended their wolf hunt not for just a month but for a month and half, with maybe more to follow. Having reached only half their dead wolf quota in early December they just extended the season to Feb. 15, 2012. It seems odd that wolves are claimed to be nearly everywhere in Western Montana, especially in the Bitterroot Valley near the abodes of right wingers who seem to be able to see what others, including hunters can’t. Maybe the state game commission (Fish, Wildlife and Parks) will meet the quota given enough time, but wolves are obviously a lot harder to find or less abundant than claimed by noisy political groups who have dominated the news.

SE Idaho outfitter gets heavy sentence for poaching and related crimes
Sidney Davis of Soda Springs, ID received a heavy sentence from federal judge Lynn Winmill. It’s 30 months in prison, 3 years of supervised probation when he’s out, $40,000 in restitution and no hunting or fishing or going with hunters or fishers anywhere in the world while on probation. The animal poached was mule deer, but Davis violated the federal Lacey Act, making it a federal crime and also bankruptcy laws. Judge Winmill made it clear he believed Davis was a habitual violator. He was doubly irritated about the bankruptcy violations at a time when there are so many legitimate bankruptcies in court. An article in the Idaho State Journal quoted Judge Winmill as saying “Without some prison time, I am convinced Mr. Davis will go back to business as usual.”

Social conflict disguised as conflict over wolves heats up in NE Oregon
Recently we did a story on a controversy over license for a tiny bed n’ breakfast in Wallowa County near Joseph, OR, “NE Oregon . . . get friendly with wolf watchers and lose your property rights.” Since then matters have not cooled down. Two more cows might have been killed by the Imnaha wolf pack and the application to have a couple person bed n’ breakfast in the county run by people who are thought to have the “wrong beliefs” about wolves came before the county commission. The commission was probably intimidated by the hostile testimony toward the applicants applying for the tiny B and B. Instead of making a decision the county commissioners extended the comment time by 10 days. They will announce their decision on Dec. 19.
