Thank you for your time.
I am trying to post in chapters again. That is a new way for me.
I hope you enjoy the story.

I do not own the character's of Starsky and Hutch
By: Karen B.
Summary: Hutch tries to help Starsky overcome his fear of heights. H/C Starsky
Thank you so much, CC, for taking this rock and polishing it for me!
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway."
John Wayne
The mid-afternoon shadows prowled across the red craggy rock of Wallowa Gorge. It was hard to imagine that it had taken tens of millions of years for the region to form its wide open valleys, plateaus and steep-walled canyons. The abstract stone cliffs, and rafters were eye grabbing, Starsky had to admit. Whoever knew rocks could hold such color and depth? Glacial erosion, earthquakes, time and weather all played a part in the forming of the weird shapes and wealth of color.
The heavily- pebbled path crunched beneath his boots as Starsky struggled to keep going, climbing higher and higher, this really wasn't his gig. The closest Starsky liked to get to nature and high places was floating in a hammock at the Dobey's annual policemen's barbeque, in the safety and confines of the white picket fence that surrounded the backyard. He knew why Hutch had set up this mountain climbing expedition. Why his partner was pushing him to his limit. Starsky had lost it a few months ago high up on a radio tower. Chasing down Commander Jim, a serial killer. In his madness, the mentally sick man had climbed the radio tower to escape arrest. Starsky was a man of action. He never would let his fear get in the way of his job or his duty. It was his duty to arrest Commander Jim, to see justice donewithin the eyes of the law.
Starsky remembered back to that day. How his thoughts raced. How he scurried up that tower, desperately trying not to look down. How his palms grew slippery with sweat as he clung to the metal rungs. He could almost feel himself falling, vertigo hitting him hard. His stomach grew tight and his mouth was dry from heavy breathing. He recalled how Jim had slipped. How in desperation to save the man, Starsky had for a moment, let go of his fear. He had tried so hard to reach a hand out to the frantically-crazed Commander, not wanting Jim to plunge to his death.
In the end, all Starsky could do was look downward, and watch Jim as he free fell, growing smaller and smaller, until Starsky heard the sickening thud, until he saw the splatter of blood, and the gruesomely twisted flesh. Seeing that iced Starsky where he clung; he couldn't move, afraid of how high he was, afraid of he himself, joining the Commander.
Hutch knew right off his partner was freaked, that he had already begun to panic.
"You okay?" He called to Starsky, trying to keep his own voice smooth and calm, and hoping he was wrong.
"Not good. It's not good," Starsky mumbled, shaking with fear and unable to take his eyes off the body far below.
"Starsky, look at me."
"I can't." Starsky held no interest in making any kind of movement, not even eye contact, as he gripped tighter to the steel bar.
"Starsk." No response.
Hutch studied his partner closely; his knuckles had turned white as he continued to grip tighter to the metal beam, and he teetered slightly.
"Hey, partner." Starsky's gaze was focused on the bloodied body, shock evident on his face.
"Starsky." Still nothing.
Fear snaked up into Hutch's heart. Not fear for himself, but the fear he knew was flowing through his partner. He could feel it as if a bolt of lightning had struck the tower and passed through the metal into his own fingertips. He didn't want to startle Starsky, but was desperate; he needed to get his friend's attention.
Hutch whistled loudly through his teeth. "Hey!" he shouted.
"What?" Starsky broke his gaze,meeting Hutch's eyes.
"Starsk, what's going on?" Hutch asked, a fierce surge of protectiveness overtaking him.
Swallowing hard Starsky said, "He-he fell."
Hutch could see what was going on in his friend's head. "You did what you could, Starsk." Feeling the current of fear flowing between them, Hutch bravely started to maneuver toward his partner. I'm coming to you."
"Gotta be another way down," Starsky muttered.
"Such as?" Hutch tried to lighten.
"Hutch, I feel dizzy." Starsky shivered, his tousled curls blowing in the breeze.
"Starsky, man, calm down." Hutch moved as quickly as he dared, afraid Starsky might just take a tumble before he could get to him.
"Scared." Starsky's voice was breathy and thread thin, but Hutch heard.
"Scared isn't a bad thing, buddy. I'm scared too."
The climbing was dicey, but Hutch made it, smoothly and quickly. "We'll get down easily -- just let me help you, buddy." He reached a hand out toward his immobilized partner. "I'm here now."
That was when Starsky began to panic. "Don't touch me." He jerked away, nearly causing them both to slip and fall.
Hutch caught his balance, holding one hand up in petition. "Easy. Okay? Just take it easy, Starsky."
"Hutch," Starsky cried out, his eyes going wide to what he had just done. "Going to fall. We're going to fall."
"No--we--are--not." Hutch's face went stony. "Just let me help you. We don't have to go fast, Starsk. Let me help you."
"D-down?" Starsky whispered insecurely, trying to gain his own ground and his trust in his partner.
Hutch laughed. "Well, I don't think you want to go up, buddy -- do you?" Hutch lightened his voice and his eyes softened to match. He reached over and gently put a hand to his partner's shoulder.
"Don't think so," Starsky gave an uncomfortable little laugh, allowing the touch.
He felt like such a rookie, having to be led down the metal structure. He didn't like being so clingy, so afraid, but he dealt with it. Slowly, move after slow move…steel pole after steel pole, they quietly made their way down.
Starsky shuddered, back to the here and now. He had nearly blown both their lives that day. If it wasn't for Hutch's quick reaction, calm demeanor, and gripping hold on the metal frame, they would both have joined the gory form far below.
Starsky knew fear was the body's natural reaction, its way of warning you of a possible threat, of a potentially bad thing. It was the body's way of putting you on alert. Your heart begins to beat faster, your every muscle tenses, your breathing speeds up and your mind becomes more aware of things around you. Like now,climbing up this steep incline, Starsky could feel his body's defenses kicking in. He was aware of every rock, every little breeze, and every moving shadow.
Fear is something that does not totally go away. But if left unchecked it could become more of a danger than the actual terror itself.
Starsky recalled back in 'Nam how scared he was the day he had carried a critically injured comrade across a rickety old wooden bridge. A bridge that was way too high and didn't look like it could hold the weight of an ant, let alone two soldiers weighted down with combat gear. With the rat-a-tat-tat of machine gunfire not far behind them, it was his only option. It was a do or die courageous act, but to this day Starsky wasn't sure how he had made it across the overpass. He could only understand, had he not done what he thought he couldn't, he and the fallen soldier would both have died.
He knew Hutch's whole plan today, of going out and climbing a mountain, boiled down to one thing and one thing only. Getting Starsky to understand and control how he reacted to his fear of heights, so the fear didn't seem so big. So he could be more confident and in control the next time they were called to a higher place in the line of duty.
It made sense. Starsky was the kind of man who would saddle up, even if he was afraid. Still, he didn't have to like it.
Starsky swallowed the queasy feeling in his stomach. He was scared, but this was something he knew he had to do. Suddenly the high pitched territorial scream of a soaring hawk echoed off the upheaval of geological archways,drawing him once again from his thoughts. Starsky looked up. The hawk was a symbol of courage, of freedom; he only wished he felt brave right now. Wished he had wings; at the very least, a cape.
"You know, Hutch, I could be kicking back at home. Stretched out on my couch in my boxers, with a cold beer in one hand and a pizza in the other, reading the comics." Starsky tried to ease his own tension.
Hutch rolled his eyes in irritation, watching his partner's back as he trudged up the steep incline. Starsky had already made them get a late start. The guy never was too good at getting up in the morning, now he was going to complain?
"You know, Starsky, if kicking back was a sport, you'd be the world champ," Hutch laughed, trying to ease his friend's nerves.
"We there yet?" Starsky huffed, struggling to keep going, his normal happy-swagger irregular due to his spiked mountain climbing boots packing down the dusty trail beneath them.
"Just a little higher." The trail guide called out, his loud voice booming over the canyon.
"Climb any higher, Durango--" Starsky paused to suck in a breath. "And we'll start seeing cherub-cheeked babies with wings, leaping from cloud to cloud," Starsky huffed in and out, wondering how the older man ahead of him wasn't winded in the slightest.
"Oh come on, Starsky," Hutch scolded.
Durango looked back, noticing Starsky's wild-eyed stare and the clumsy way he made his way over the dusty rock, his breathing labored.
"Everyone knows cherub-cheeked babies don't inhabit these parts," Durango laughed, trying to ease the man's obvious worry.
"Starsk, you with me, there?" Hutch asked,his voice enveloped in softness as he sized up his edgy partner.
"Yes and no," Came the breathless reply.
"This is exhilarating," Hutch announced. "Just take in a deep breath, pal."
"I would -- if I could -- could -- catch it," Starsky panted like a shaggy dog in the hot summer sun.
"Wish I could put that fresh air smell in a jar." Hutch took in another deep breath.
"I'd like to put you in that jar," Starsky muttered under his.
"What's that, buddy?"
"I said -- what else would you like to put in that jar?"
Hutch fell silent, looking out over the canyon and contemplating that very question.
"Starsky, don't worry so much," Durango said. "This is easier than falling off a log. You know, a few years back there was a Cub Scout troop of twelve-year-olds hiking up here."
"Twelve?" Starsky questioned.
If a bunch of kids could do this so could he.
"You know, one of those boys was separated from the group for hours, even was chased by a coyote."
"Coyote?" Starsky questioned worriedly.
"That old coyote was so close he was nipping at the boy's keister, trying to nab hold of him and drag him off. That boy ran hard, dodging left and right to avoid the animal'scarnivorous gnashing teeth." Durango glanced at Starsky, seeing the worry on his face. "Don't you worry none, the kid was smart, got a bright idea, and he free climbed using only his bare hands, down the side of this very cliff to safety. Today we'll be using rope. We got it made." Durango smiled, trying to ease the panicked looking man with a bit of humor.
"That-that's some story," Starsky stuttered, watching every shadow that moved.
"Thanks," Durango shot Hutch an evil smile. "I just made it up," he confessed, snickering.
"Terrific," Starsky muttered.
"Try to relax,Starsky, it'll be fine," Hutch offered, engaging Durango with a return smile.
Starsky figured the ribbing was good-hearted, intended to ease his fear, but it didn't sit well with him. He decided to change his thoughts, began to wonder about their trail guide. How did Durango, who was probably in his early 50's, take the upward trail without fighting for breath and walking with such light steps. Starsky figured if the mountain man did fall over the edge, he probably would just dance on air.
Durango was a tall rugged-looking man, with broad shoulders and long palomino-colored hair that splayed in waves across the oil-tanned deerskin jacket he wore. He looked like one half of the Lewis and Clark team. Glancing at his partner, Starsky figured Hutch, who was wearing a similar deerskin jacket, was the other half of that team.
Durango was in excellent physical shape, however, Starsky had to give him that, maybe even in better shape than he and Hutch were. When Starsky had shaken their guide's hand earlier on, he noted how powerful a grip Durango had. The man probably could deliver a punch like the chopping performance of an axe that could one-handedly cut you in two.
Durango was a man after Hutch's own heart, Starsky was sure of it. The passionate about-the-outdoors type. Someone who really liked to get down in the dirt. A man who needed to see what was beyond the sun or over the next mountain peak. Durango was the type of guy who purposely went searching for that treacherous pass ahead or that road not plowed. He seemed the kind who would go hunting for his every meal, climbing every mountain peak and anthill he could find. Hutch would admire that ambition. Didn't those two know meat came packaged in grocery stores? Didn't they know mountain climbing was for the goats and for those people who wanted to see their names boldly scrawled in black and white within the pages of the Guinness Book ofWorld Records?
Starsky silently wished he could thumb his way from the end of this storybook forward, then he'd be back in his warm bed sleeping soundly.

Apr 29, 2009 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
With a remarkable rally, the Jordan-Elbridge girls lacrosse team put a sudden end to a league win streak Skaneateles had been building for a long time — six years, to be exact.
The Eagles became the first team in 59 OHSL Liberty division games to topple the Lakers, doing so in a 13-12 decision.
J-E came into the game with a modest 2-2 mark. For once, though, that fit right in with Skaneateles, the reigning Section III Class C champs that had made the state finals each of the last four years.
Skaneateles came in with a 2-3 mark, though losses to Cazenovia and Westhill (both in the OHSL Liberty) were marked as non-league contests, and so the 59-game streak wasn't affected.
This one was a league game, though, and for a while it looked like so many others before. Skaneateles led by as much as 9-1 at one point, but the tide would turn fast.
Suddenly, the Eagles got hot late in the first half, and cut the margin to 9-7 before they hit the break. As the pace slowed in the cold, wet and windy conditions, J-E caught up, then watched as Ella Thorpe put in what proved to be the game-winner with 4:30 left.
Both Thorpe and Emily Dillon finished with three goals, while Katie Dungey and Carrie Farrrugia scored two goals apiece. Alie Donahue and Kelsey Armani scored, too, with Grace Dungey and Hanne Bailey earning single assists. Goalie Kelsey Richardson had nine saves as Lindsay Angelillo (five goals, one assist) led the Skaneateles effort.
The Eagles made it back-to-back wins Wednesday, at LaFayette, again coming from behind to produce a 10-6 victory over the Lancers.
Through a cold, wet first half, LaFayette controlled the tempo and produced enough to edge in front, 5-4, as Cassley Jackowski led the way with four goals.
J-E adjusted its defense, though, and contained Jackowski the rest of the way, Richardson earning 11 saves and giving the Eagles lots of time to pull in front.
Eight different players scored in a balanced attack where only Farrugia and Chelsea Maitland found the net twice. Armani, Dillon and Amanda Wheeler each had one goal and one assist, with Dungey, Thorpe and Ashley Wheeler also converting. Mallory Snyder added an assist.
This led to Saturday's game at Bishop Ludden, where the Eagles had little trouble taking the Gaelic Knights apart in an 18-6 decision.
Six different J-E players had multiple goals as it roared out to an 11-3 halftime edge and maintained its pace despite the 85-degree conditions.
Dillon, with four goals and one assist, set the pace for the Eagles (5-2) as Farrugia and Wheeler landed three goals apiece. Dungey and Thorpe matched each other with two goals and two assists, while Maitland found the net twice. Bailey had a goal and three assists, with Snyder landing a goal. Donahue and Armani had assists.
Ludden saw six different players — Morgan Kanavy, Tess Ritchie, Alex Szelewski, Emily Wheeler, Eve Seiter and Kat O'Hara — get the six goals, with Kanavy adding two assists.
Ludden had already gone through a rough week, starting last Tuesday with a 12-8 defeat to Tully where much of the margin was built in a 6-3 first half.
Trying to rally, the Gaelic Knights saw Morgan Kanavy score three times and Kate O'Hara score twice, both of them fed by Tess Ritchie, who had four assists to go with her single goal. Julie Davis and Lauren Roy also had goals. Trina Dufresne had 12 saves.
Following that, the Gaelic Knights took a 17-1 loss to Marcellus on Thursday night as Katie O'Hara's second-half goal, assisted by Tess Ritchie, prevented a shutout. Trina Dufresne had 10 saves.
Marcellus 12, Cazenovia 10
The Mustangs proved a lot last Monday night, stepping well out of its comfort zone by going to Cazenovia and beating the state-ranked Lakers 12-10.
Kate Gosson led Marcellus with five goals, while Nora Barry scored three times. Meghan Connors and Erin Walter each scored twice, with Denise Johns earning a pair of assists and Stephanie O'Rourke getting one assist.
Marcellus 17, Chittenango 3
The Mustangs blew out Chittenango 17-3 Wednesday.
Barry and Connors both had three-goal hat tricks, with Barry adding two assists. Gosson and Kelly Welch each scored twice, while Walter, O'Rourke and Ellen Brooks took turns earning single goals.
Marcellus 17, Ludden 1
Back home Thursday night to face Bishop Ludden, the Mustangs continued to roll, bashing the Gaelic Knights 17-1.
Johns and Connors each had four assists to go with their pair of goals, anchoring an attack where Barry and Gosson got three-goal hat tricks. O'Rourke, Walter and Leea Sinay had their own two-goal outings. Molly Decker added one goal and one assist.
WG 21, Henninger/Nottingham 21-1
Lauren Michaels, with four goals, led the pack. Mara Guy set a new career mark with five points that included two goals and three assists, while Mel Murphy, Kara Datellas and Sarah Brown also scored twice.
Katey Hart and Karlyn Tupper both finished with a goal and three assists as Maria DiFato, Morgan Corso and Lindsay Vona each picked up one goal and one assist. Laura Lucchesi, Kellyn Savage, Bridget Alberts and Jeri Burke got single goals.
WG 21, Corcoran 1
WG produced 11 unanswered goals in the first half and kept up the torrid pace the rest of the way, even with a running clock during a one-sided affair.
Tupper and Bre Hudgins each led the way with three goals, with DiFato picking up two goals and three assists. Corso, Murphy and Guy each scored twice, with Michaels, Burke, Hart, Sara Fisher, Holly Barnello and Joanna Sheldon also converting. Savage had two assists.
Westhill 10, CBA 9
The Warriors' early hot streak nearly came to a halt during last Thursday's game against Christian Brothers Academy, but enough was done in the end to edge past the Brothers 10-9.
Westhill got most of its offense in the first half. Led by seniors Sam Marshall (four goals, one assist) and Mackenzie Rainone (three goals, one assist), the Warriors did enough there to push itself to a 7-4 lead at the break.
The Warriors finished on top behind an experienced defense and goalie Morgan Roach, who finished with 10 saves. Emily Haggerty, Brenna Rainone and Claire Purcell each had single goals in support of Marshall and Mackenzie Rainone.
WG 18, Cortland 6
The Warriors crushed the Purple Tigers 18-6 Thursday. Ignoring the fierce 85-degree heat, Westhill showed its good conditioning, seizing a 9-2 edge by halftime and never letting Cortland into the argument.
Marshall and Mackenzie Rainone stayed hot, each of them pouring in five goals to nearly match Cortland by themselves. Brenna Rainone returned to form, too, with three goals and four assists, while Haggerty gained two goals and two assists. Margaret Lee and Clare Purcell each had one goal and one assist, with Molly Kiggins also scoring.

Slingshot is a love story - about a man, a woman, another man, another woman, some gender bending...and a machine, the largest ever built.
Slingshot is a mystery - about a missing aviatrix, a conspiracy, a true-believer. Slingshot is an adventure - about following a dream, the ocean-deep, outer space. Slingshot is about constructing the first space launch-loop, stretching 2,000 km between Baker and Jarvis Islands in the Equatorial Pacific. It's about high finance, intrigue, unlimited ambition, heroism, fanaticism, betrayal...and about opening space to the common person.
With a cast of 69, Slingshot takes you from Seattle's world financial district, to the ocean bottom at 5,000 meters off Baker Island, to the edge of space 80 km above. You play with dolphins and battle sharks. You fly and sail and dive, you work and play and love across the vast panorama of an equatorial Pacific being put to leash to serve humanity's surge into outer space.
While its accurate science and precise engineering will appeal to hard science fiction buffs, Slingshot's major focus is the grand journey, the opening of outer space to the common person by men and women who loom larger than life as they work, play, and love.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

"Apparently yet another series begins..."
There is a great deal of redundancy and verbiage that I feel clutters up the story.
Already accessing. Fire on the Flight Deck! Just a break from space!
Man, he nailed it. Not perfect, but some of the voices he gave to characters, in particular the females, was VERY impressive. TB is a clearly and up and coming Audible talent!
I was provided this audio book by the author in exchange to this unbiased review.
That said, this book definitely "grows" on you. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and for all it's sprawling and conceptual flaws, it sniffs around the start of a rather interesting series.
Recommended with those reservations.
The story felt clunky at times, with so much time spent on little details that the story gets lost. Better editing would have been nice. The story was awesome however. Unique and fun I loved it.
Great performance by the narrator. Loved it.

"Detailed descriptive and precise wordsmithing"
What if space travel was made affordable for every single person on the planet? What if space travel could be proven to be eco-friendly and safe? Would you go?
Slingshot: The Starchild Series written by Robert Williscroft is a multi-faceted book. It will appeal to science fiction, romance, adventure and conspiracy enthusiasts alike.
This is a story about one man's dream to build a launch loop that can send anyone and everyone to outer space affordably and eco-friendly. The building of the launch loop is amazingly detailed and the building of the sky tower is an action packed adventure. Each step of the book from the idea to the design to the building is realistic and made more so by Williscroft's detailed descriptions.
Furthermore, Williscroft brings in all the people involved – the divers, the Mohawk high iron workers, the misguided environmentalists, machinists, dolphins, construction workers, hi-financers and more. He shows you small slices of their lives – what they do, how they love, where they come from and that they all share a common dream. The story talks about the doers and the behind the scene people who make everything happen but who are nothing more than mere shadows. Williscroft allows these people to shine in this book – they are the heroes.
Williscroft brought this idea to life through his attention to detail, his descriptive and precise wordsmithing. His story flows smoothly albeit very detailed. He develops his characters with great care and a fullness that leaves the listener connected to the story line and characters. Williscroft immerses his listener fully into the story and keeps them there throughout.
Several twists at the end will leave the reader gasping and stunned; it is a story that should not be missed by anyone who enjoys science fiction and space travel!
Williscroft's attention to detail, at times, became a bit overwhelming but I would say it was necessary to make it realistic. This is an epic audiobook of 13 hours but I found myself having a hard time shutting it off. My attention was being focused and held firmly enabling me to visualize the launch loop and experience the adventure and the emotional toil the ending takes.
The narrator, Trenton Benton performs the audiobook very well. He is talented in the different characters he portrays. I found his performance enjoyable and pleasant. My only dislike was a good portion of his female voices which were too high-pitched making them sound unprofessional and too young. However, I thought he did a great job.
There were no issues with the audio production of this audiobook. Everything was clear and concise.
Audiobook was provided for review by the author.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This had such a cool concept! Let's make space travel affordable for everybody! And it did not disappoint. It was incredibly detailed, but not boring, and everybody who was involved in creating the launch loop was brought in. It felt pretty awesome because most authors tend to ignore the backstage / behind the scenes people, so it felt refreshing to read / listen to that. Williscroft had written a truly amazing book.
"Great story. Interesting ideas."
This was an interesting book and I enjoyed listening to it. The details were well written and the narration was great. Although I'm not usually a sci-fi reader I got into this and I would recommend this book to anyone. I hope there is a 'The Starchild Series, Book 2'.This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.
"Too detail orientated"
The main story line of this book is interesting and the narration is good. But, there is so much detail and historic trivia added that it listens like a power point presentation. There are snipits of sexual interaction thrown in here and there that just don't work in the story. If I hadn't agreed to do a review, I would have stopped listening after the first chapter.
