This month we thought we'd share a little of the good things that happen to us to moke our work worthwhile.

"What's the weirdest animal you've ever received?" is a frequent question. The animal that comes to mind is Sin-bad the capuchin monkey. Monkeys are extremely intelligent animals and as such don't make very good pets unless the animal is first of all very well adjusted and secondly, the owner has lots of time and energy to devote in caring for it. Sinbad wasn't too well adjusted" he had a biting problem. He did however love to hold hands and make a cooing sound when he was with a friend.

Of some 25 applicants who wanted Sinbad, we picked out a fine home where he still lives. We keep records of lost and found animals. It's a good thing we do because we once returned a woman's Siamese cat four months after she lost it. People ask if we check license tags on animals we receive. A Golden Retriever came in with a Southern California dog license.

After a long distance call to the county courthouse we were able to find the owners who made arrangements to have their lost pet returned to them. The dog got lost at rest stop and unable to find the owners sadly returned home and figured the dog was a goner: Not quite so spectacular, but just as touching, is the reunion we observe between owner and canine companion almost every day when someone comes in to claim their errant pooch. Adopting an older pet into a new home always makes our day a little brighter as does helping people with the numerous problems that seem to crop up. We've got a problem you can help us with.

Miss Spaulding, 18, of Lewiston, also was to have taken the stand Saturday before the Columbus Day weekend of Sunday and Monday, but did not because the court decided she needed legal counsel. Fourth District Court Judge J. Ray Durtschi appointed Kellogg attorney William Boyd to assist her, At issue today, with the jury not present, was whether she waived her immunity previously when she made statements under oath to prosecutors during interviews. Those conversations were provided to Boyd, who indicated he would research the immunity question.

In addition to the determination of whether she previously waived immunity is the question of whether she will be granted immunity, and how. The state is calling her as a witness in the charges that Creech, 25, killed two itinerant painters in Valley County last November. But Creech's attorney, Bruce 0. Robinson of Nampa, says he wants to call her as a defense witness alsd, apparently so he can move in a wider swath of testimony than the state intends. Otherwise he must question her only about matters raised by the state.
