Ruftis the turkey mooches last meal By The Associated Press JACQUES SPUR, Idaho In life, a wild turkey nicknamed Rufus became a tourist attraction by adoptmg a rural cafe and greeting its visitors. In death, the bird that befriended scores of patrons and accepted food from them appears to be making the leap into legend. "We weren't expecting something like this," Kristie Mc- Daide, a cook at Jacques Spur Junction Cafe, told the Lewiston Tribune.

"It's something I didn't think would take off quite so well. It's a bird." For about six months, Rufus was a fixture at the cafe. His boldness apparently carried him through Thanksgiving as diners feasted on turkey while watching Rufus in the parking lot. But on the opening day of turkey hunting season a week ago he was bagged by an anonymous hunter who flipped Rufus into his red Clievy Blazer and quickly drove away The cafe has since received notes of condolence and calls from as far away as the Netherlands and Canada. One note includes a poem to the hunter: "Hope you can sleep at nite (sic), hope you choke on every bite." Another person sent money for a memorial.

GUSTAFSON Albany Times Union It was tlie air freshener's fault. The smeU from that $6 spray can sent my friend into a mild state of depression. It reminded her of her ex the guy who left during their engagement. Now, more than a year and a half after the split, the scent still gets her Versace Dreamer was my demon. It not only reminded me of a person, but it conjured images of chicken Parmesan, Dave Matthews and Neiman Marcus.

For awhile, three of my favorite thhigs were tainted by the scent. "Smell is very powerful most powerful way of evoking emotional memories," says Dr Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and director of the Smell and Taste Institute in Chicago. "The quickest way to change someone's mood, state or behavior is with smell." Most of my past boyfriends didn't have a signature scent. Either tliey didn't wear a fragrance or they went for a smell so generic like Abercrombie or Drakar Noir it reminded me of a frat party where all the guys smeU the same in an overabundance. One registered pharmacist, who also owns an aromatherapy company in Los Alamos, equates these associations to a lock and key "The lock is the smeU memory and the scent is the key to open the memory" says Michele Williams, the aromatherapist who has a chapter in her book Tours LLC 429 N.

It cost $6, she said. That's less than she spends on her regular bottle of wine, I argued. But for her it has become a matter of principle. It's about conquermg the memory and overcoming the scent. Three weeks later, the can still sits in her living room.

She still sprays it. But the smell has taken on a new iife. One that doesn't have anything to do with her ex. "I am learning new associations for a smell I refuse to stop liking just because of a stupid guy" she said.
