From the Editor:

OFFICERS:

Jim is always finding things that he thinks I should read. Since he is a night owl, I usually

President: Barbara Baese

find them laying on the kitchen counter when I get up in the morning. The other day he had

two articles about improving your memory. The first was about upgrading your memory

with a surgically implanted chip. Apparently, the Mayo Clinic and a team from Wake Forest

Baptist Medical Center are both working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project

traumatic brain injuries; both groups have demonstrated that their implants consistently

boost memory retention. The second article Jim had for me was titled “You Can Sharpen Your

Memory with the Zeigarnik Effect.” Essentially the Zeigarnik Effect is the way the brain re-

members unfinished tasks better than it does finished tasks. It’s like that tune that keeps run-

ning through your head that you just can’t seem to turn off because it is not finished. Dr.

Bluma Zeigarnik’s study suggests that an interrupted task triggers a strong motivation to

complete it while it is hard to focus on anything else because your mind wants closure.

When I read the article about the Zeigarnik Effect, I thought about the problem of the Dandie

Treasurer: Diane Hanowitz

Dinmont being an endangered breed and maybe that isn’t so bad. Because we, as a group,

216-291-4380

have recognized this problem, we are now working on lots of ways to boost our wonderful

4380 Acacia Drive

breed. First of all, the Strategic Advisory Committee was formed. New banners, flyers, and

posters were created. The membership was asked to get involved. More than ever we, with

BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

our Dandies, are attending parades, Meet the Breeds, and Scottish Games. There are even Dan-

Karen Dorn

dies at the “Pups in the Park” events. Mentoring ideas are being planned to help new breeders

and what more publicity could we ask for then for the Dandie to win 2 Best in Shows and 1

40-535 Carter Lane

Reserve Best in Show at the Specialty weekend. So maybe is isn’t so bad that we are an endan-

gered breed because it keeps the problem in our focus.

One other thing before I close, this will be my last issue as the editor of Mustard and Pepper.

I want to thank the DDTCA board for allowing me the privilege to be the editor. Thanks to

1784 MaCallan Drive

Carole Driscoll for helping with the proofreading, for Brian and all the staff at Soli Printing for

Brentwood, TN 37027

making things look so good, and to Karen Dorn who listened to my moaning and groaning as

sheridan.dulaney@gmail.com

I put together each issue. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge my soulmate and comput-

Earl Hunt III

er guru, Jim Shelton. When I needed a file converted or crashed the computer, Jim was there.

But none of this would have happened if it had not been for Cathy Nelson. When I first be-

8561 Baywood Vista Drive

gan, Cathy was the layout editor and my teacher. While I never learned to draw those cute

Orlando, FL 32810

Dandie cartoons, I did learn what I needed from her to be able to continue without her. With

huntbeaver@bellsouth.net

that said, my hard drive is almost full and my creativity is almost depleted. I need to

spend time with my dogs, my house and my husband too (not necessarily in that order.)
