We had quite a bit of rain, which we desperately needed, so no complaints. The hills behind our house are
greener every day. My garden starts putting on a show. But spring does not arrive light-footed in Southern
California! The weatherman on TV announced unseasonably warm weather, with temperatures in the eight-
ies. That’s when there is no more holding me back. Off I drove to the garden center where I realized that like
migrating birds that receive an invisible sign to fly off all at the same time, we all flocked to the nursery! I
came home not only with a tomato plant and several edible herbs, but also with new flowers.
In all this warmth and springy feeling, I am thinking of my new friend, Willis from Homer, Alaska. He and his
wife have a wonderful garden, but I am sure they cannot yet think about the new planting season. Willie had
contacted me, saying that we mostly publish articles about people living in big cities and that we should also
consider folks that live in the country side. So here he is on page 5. Mission accomplished!
I hope you like the other articles too, some art stuff, some Swiss Club News and a sheep dog! Have fun with it! WAL BAUR, EDITOR

TexasVeronique ZehnderHahn“citizen of the world”Veronique Zehnder Hahn, aSwiss citizen and artist whosetravels have made her a true “ci-tizen of the world” has found a
home and developed an avid fol-lowing in the Texas Hill Country,the home of several prominentcowboy artists, with her abstractimpressions of nature.
Born in Casablanca, Morocco—her father was a Swiss scientistworking there—she spent part ofher youth in the United States.She returned to Switzerland forher early education before recei-ving a degree in Fine Arts at theCollege of Higher Education forthe Arts in Arnhem/Nether-lands.
She moved with her husbandDittmar, from Holland back toSwitzerland and then back tothe United States. He is a bio-logy professor at Texas State
University-San Marcos. From herbiologist husband, she has deve-loped a flair for “looking at na-ture with different eyes.” Sheuses vibrant strong colors as wellas pastel and gold to give diffe-rent aspect interpretations. “Na-ture itself symbolizes a world toretreat in, to seek peace and se-renity,” she said.Zehnder Hahn has exhibited atshows in France, Germany andSwitzerland as well as the UnitedStates and currently has work ondisplay at “The Village” in NewYork City, Missouri and New Jer-sey.She does not limit herself to art-work alone but has penned threechildren’s books combining herart and text: “Zara and the Ma-gical Slippers,” “Hisham theLittle Scorpion” and “Leila theMagical Spider.”“I love the cultural richness ofSan Marcos and the Texas HillCountry and would like to leavesomething behind to contributeculturally to society,” she said,“my abstract artwork does notonly landscape/nature but alsomany impressions of differentcultures. Symbols do play a role

Three of her vertebras werecrushed or cracked. Monika wasinformed that she might be a pa-raplegic victim. She thought re-turning to Switzerland would beher only option. During herpainful recovery, a vision urgedher to stay in California and con-tinue painting. Monika almostfully recovered and considersthat painful time her spiritualgrowth opportunity that re-defi-ned her, giving her the opportu-nity to look at life differently.Several galleries in the SanFrancisco area carry MonikaSteiner’s art. She is presentlypreparing for her next exhibi-tion in September/October 2010at the Micaela Gallery at 49 Ge-ary Street in San Francisco. Ofcourse you may want to contactthe artist directly through herwebsite:www.monikasteiner.net.Enjoy Monika’s philosophic artand allow it to speak to yourheart.

CaliforniaArt for your Soul….The bubbly voice of Swiss ArtistMonika Steiner lifts your spiritsand makes you curious: Who isthis artist? Monika grew up nearBerne. After teaching for a fewyears, Wanderlust struck her,and eventually she asked for a
sabbatical to spend a fewmonths in the US. Unable to puther teaching credential to gooduse in the small idyllic city ofPetaluma, CA, Monika turned toher hobbies and continued what
she thought was dabbling in va-rious craft forms. Then she en-rolled in the Art program of theSonoma State University and herworld changed. With the nur-ture of fine art mentors, she dis-covered her talent and fell inlove with the meditative ap-proach to painting.Her paintings are of abstract na-ture as she explores the tactileexperience between perceptionand reality, capturing fractionsof a thought like a snapshot intime by gifting it eternal life.She looks for interconnected-ness of the soul and the universeand strives to describe the ar-chetypal harmony in the uni-verse, bringing its balance to lifethrough her abstract paintings.Listening to this 38 year old ar-tist, you are intrigued yet notsurprised about her referencesto philosophy, metaphysics anda whiff of Buddhism. “To under-stand abstract art”, Monika sta-tes, “requires the observer toimmerse his/her soul.” Her bub-bles appear trapped under ice,someday to be freed like the
subconscious mind ready toevolve into reality when the“ice” melts. In her art, MonikaSteiner brings opposites into ba-lance and transforms a singlemoment into eternity.Monika may modestly contri-bute her discovery and successto a streak of luck of being in
the right place at the right time– but is it only luck? One thinglead to another. Absorbed bypainting, one day the artist suf-fered a severe equestrian acci-dent falling from her horse.

UtahLabor DayWeekend inMidway(Swiss Days & Soldier Hollow In-ternational Sheep Dog Trials)Each year on Friday and Satur-day of Labor Day Weekend, thetown of Midway, Utah is buzzingwith excitement. It's Swiss
Days! Swiss flags are every-where. There is a parade, sing-ing, yodeling, bell ringing, tra-ditional Swiss foods, local crafts,and many other activities. In themid 1800’s, Swiss Mormon emi-grants came to Midway, Utah, abeautiful wide valley beneathsnow cappedmountainsresemblingthe BerneseAlps! Even to-day, mail-boxes stillsport SwissGermannames, andthe faces ofresidentslook somehow familiar.www.midwaycityut.orgBy Sunday morning, the streetswere quiet again. We took theopportunity to drive to thenearby Soldier Hollow area, lo-cation of the cross-country
venue of the 2002 Salt LakeOlympics. It is here that the an-nual International Sheep DogTrials are held.www.soldierhollowclassic.com.This event is the most presti-gious competition in the World.In 2009, it attracted over 24’000visitors.We watched in fascination as thesheep herding dogs (Border Col-lies) patiently sat next to theirhandlers, awaiting the com-mand or whistle. Racing up thesteep hill toward a group of wilymountain sheep, it was thedog’s job to bring them downthe hill, keeping them bunchedtogether, herding them througha series of gates, and into asmall corral, all while the clockwas ticking. With their missioncompleted, the dogs’ reward wasa cool splash in a tub of water.Smiles from the audience re-flected the instant pleasurethese amazing animals were en-joying.There was one competitor whostood out among the others, andhe was a crowd favorite.Dr. med. vet. Alberto Stern fromLostallo, GR with his dogs Tweed
and young Jimmi always had anappreciative smile and friendlywave for the viewers. Since2005, Alberto Stern and Tweedhave consistently had excellentresults at similar trials in Swit-zerland and throughout Europe,
including Vice Swiss-Championin 2006, 3rd in 2007, 3rd withthe Swiss team at the World Tri-als in Wales in 2008, and 1st inthe Dutch Open 2007.With such an impressive perfor-mance record, 2009 was AlbertoStern’s second invitation for theprestigious Soldier Hollow Inter-national Sheep Dog Trials. Heand Tweed managed a remark-able 7th place among the 34handlers and 62 dogs from allover the World.Alberto Stern has once again re-ceived an invitation for the 2010Sheep Dog Championships, andhe is looking for sponsorship ofany kind.

AlaskaWillie from HomerHis colleagues said: “Why don’tyou go and look in Alaska?” Thatwas in 1970, when Willie cameback to Aspen, Colorado, andcouldn’t find work. And the restis history!
Lets start from the beginning:Willie Suter was born in 1942 inSwitzerland and grew up in Wet-tingen and Wohlen, canton ofAargau. He wanted to be a cook,but his father said he neededsomebody with administrative
skills. So that’s what he learned.When he was 22 years old, hecame to the United States. Somany products were marked
“Made in USA” that he had tocome and see for himself – andhe was hooked. Slowly he follo-wed the saying “Go West YoungMan” until he ended up in Aspenin 1967, landing a job cooking atthe Red Onion Restaurant. Fi-nally he was doing what he lo-
ved. After three years workingand saving, he had to satisfy oneof his greatest wishes – to seeAfrica. So he went there and du-ring one year traveled all over ina Land Rover.In 1970 he came back to Aspen –
see beginning ofstory! He ended up inHomer. From thattime, he says himself:“I drove a truck whilethe pipeline wasbeing built, had allmy possessions in atrailer, worked incamps as a cook, hadno plan, just livedfrom one day to thenext, made a fewbucks, went places
down South or Europe, cameback here to make more‘dough’… What a bum!”Then, in Munich, he met the
kind of woman who was interes-ted in what he did. Brigitte cameto Homer to check things outand soon they were married. Thetwin boys Paul and Arley arrivedin 1986. Before he had workedon the water, on research ves-sels, fishing boats or tugboats,but with a growing family hewanted to settle down. In 1990Willie and Brigitte were ready.They startet their all home madehouse and cabins, Bavarian andSwiss Style, unearthing talentsthey had no idea slumberedwithin. Brigitte’s Bavarian Bedand Breakfast was born.Here, dear reader, you shouldmove over to your computer andcheck out the web-site: aksm.com/brigitte with pictures fromthe B&B and the surroundings.Even nicer pictures show up

On February 6, inMountain View, California, theSwiss Peninsula Club partneredwith the Swiss Cultural Commit-tee to hold a cocktail receptionand fondue dinner showcasingwell-accomplished and world re-nowned Swiss artists living inthe Bay Area.Mona Coran displayed photo-graphs of her vibrant art muralsdramatically transforming streetblocks. She aptly captures the
personal and collective voice ofSan Francisco, as well as the na-tural setting of her Ticino can-ton.With influential roots in Bern,Monika Steiner presented ab-stract oil paintings on woodand canvas with the use ofmuted and bright strokes ofcolor. (See separate article onpage 3.)
Geneva’s mixed media artist,Sylvie Serex-Bonnet conveysdeep and intense feelings withplays on shadow and light in herMémoires Oubliées collection.Photography made a strong sho-wing with Hans Mauli’s vintageEuropean photographs demons-trating his refined ability to cap-ture the energy of the streetsand the expression of charac-ters. His black and white fine artphotos are in touch with thepassing moments of life in suchcities as Aarau, Paris, and SanFrancisco.Displaying modern trends in
graphic design out of Basel andFrankfurt, Juliette Tinnus crea-tes surrealistic scenes with theplacement and lighting of every-day items in extraordinary ways.In perfect pairing with these vi-sual artists, Chaskinakuy mem-bers, Edmond Badoux fromLausanne and Francy Vidal,performed traditional villagesounds of the Andes Mountains
