Lemur twins a rare arrival
The Press | Tuesday, 04 November 2008
Willowbank Wildlife Reserve is celebrating the arrival of twin lemurs.
The twins, which arrived on Saturday morning, are the first to have been born in Christchurch. Park manager Jeremy McGuire said it was "reasonably rare" for lemurs to give birth to twins.
"Everyone is excited. She seems to be a really good mum, and the twins seem pretty content as well." They will be fully grown in about two months, but will suckle until five-months of age.
Yma Sumac, Rest In Peace
I loved your voice and exotic persona. In the "early days" working in a long hours never sitting kinda job in a vinty clothing store we danced around to your music to stay happy, composed stories and poems to you for fun :) I hope you knew how happy you made so many people. Go on your way now darling lady to entertain the stars in the sky.
Yma Sumac, the soprano known as the Peruvian songbird for her vast vocal range, has died at the age of 86.
Famed for her modern versions of South American folk music, Sumac died of colon cancer in Los Angeles, where she had lived for 60 years, an aide said.
Yma Sumac stunned audiences with her soaring, warbling voice which spanned more than four octaves.
Her striking raven-hair and flamboyant outfits made her a popular figure for American audiences in the 1950s. And in the land of her birth, glowing press tributes have been paid to the only Peruvian to have been written into Hollywood's Walk of Fame, our correspondent says.
Born Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo in Cajamarca, northern Peru, she changed her name to Yma Sumac - which means "How Pretty" in Peru's indigenous Quechua language.
But while she may have surrounded herself with myths about her life and background, her voice was truly extraordinary, our correspondent says.
She stunned audiences from Europe to Japan, starred in Broadway musicals and played exotic roles in several Hollywood films, including The Secret of the Inca alongside Charlton Heston.
Her fame faded in the 1960s, but was revived in the 1990s through its use in the cult Coen Brothers' film The Big Lebowski, which brought her music to new fans.
Asked about the legendary French singer Edith Piaf in an interview with AP earlier this year, US comedian Jon Stewart quipped: "She's no Yma Sumac."
Shortly before her death Sumac said she wanted to be remembered for making good music and bringing happiness into people's hearts.

Deaf therapy dog helps sick kids, Wins Hero Pet Prize

Deaf therapy dog helps sick kids
Stuart Derdeyn, The Province
Sunday, November 02, 2008
Personal pain pushed Julie Marzolf to get her French bulldog, Jay, involved in the St. John's Ambulance pet therapy program.
The winner of the $1,000 First Prize courtesy of Bosley's Pet Food Plus in the Province Pet Superstars Pet Hero contest category is a fixture on the wards at B.C. Children's Hospital.
The kids know that, if it's Sunday, Jay's on his way.
The affable animal even has an additional connection with those he cheers up. Jay is completely deaf, so touch contact is as important to him as it is a positive experience for those he visits.
"When I found out about this program was when my father was terminally ill with cancer that had spread to his brain," says Marzolf. "We had just been given that news when a pair of these therapy dogs were coming down the hall and I asked if I could pet one.
"I realized right then and there that having that familiar furry friend around at a difficult time can provide that dog-away-from-home experience to people who are somewhere they really don't want to be."
