Even though Davey had to undergrow a little “re-training” last year, (The rumor is that it took almost an entire bushel of banana’s)their success must be recognized. My hat must come off to those masterful trainers at Gallatin, they are the best to come down the road since Seigrfred and Roy.

Oh, and as far as Vern and Tibbs are concerned, they were deemed “untrainable” early on and the rest of the “troupe” were trained to simply ignore them.

“Nearly 21,000 voters went to the polls last week to re-elect Mayor Dave Bieter by a landslide.
But almost three times that many votes — 53,868 — were cast in the Idaho Statesman’s contest to name Zoo Boise’s baby gibbon. (It might be smart for politicians to be seen kissing baby gibbons rather than human babies!)

It’s true, the Statesman put no limit on the number of votes cast to name the infant ape. And we can neither confirm nor deny rumors that certain fourth-graders spent extra time in the computer lab stuffing the digital ballot box. But we understand why they might have gone to such effort: The class whose name is chosen will win a behind-the-scenes tour of Zoo Boise.”
