BOISE, Idaho â For the last decade Carry the Load has walked across America to help people remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. A lot of times it gets washed up in the barbecues which is perfectly fine, but there is a much deeper meaning to it, said Rilea Staph. Thatâs our main goal out here.
In 2011, two Navy Seals started this non-profit because they felt our country forget why we celebrate Memorial Day and the heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Local law enforcement agencies honored members Thursday, who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. All of this was part of Peace Officer Memorial Week.

The Big Bear Reading List

Growing up in England, my knowledge of bears largely came from Yogi Bear cartoons, and on a childhood holiday to North America, it wasn’t Disneyland, but the thought of seeing a real-life Yogi that I was most excited about. However, despite my parents stoically driving a hire car down treacherous mountain roads as I lounged in the back bemoaning the lack of performing bears, it never happened.
It wasn’t until I moved to Canada many years later that I saw my first bear. I just turned a corner and there it was, a young black bear casually munching grass, completely unphased by my open-mouthed awe. Several years on, I have seen countless black bears; in fact, they rather enjoy relieving themselves on my front lawn after overindulging in next door’s apple trees. But my childhood wonder of them remains.
