Steve Irwin Tribute By:Bryan Tran
A Natural Hunter, 1962-1990
Born on Feb. 22, 1962, in Victoria, Australia, Steve (More) By:Bryan Tran
A Natural Hunter, 1962-1990
Born on Feb. 22, 1962, in Victoria, Australia, Steve Irwin was destined to become "The Crocodile Hunter." Both of Steve's parents, Bob and Lyn Irwin, had undeniable interests for wildlife, and took up professions regarding reptiles and wildlife rehabilitation respectively. When Steve was a young boy his family moved to Queensland, Australia. There, his parents founded the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. At the park, Steve began an early bond with reptiles, receiving a scrub python at age 6 and wrestling crocodiles by age 9. It was not long after graduating from high school that Steve became a crocodile trapper and also volunteered for the Queensland government's East Coast Crocodile Management Program. Little did Steve know, his work and love for reptiles would eventually blossom into a wonderful career.
Croc Mania, 1991-2000
During the early 1990s, Steve began to see both his personal life and career take off. After years of managing the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, Steve's parents retired and handed the park over to Steve as owner. Not too soon after that, Steve renamed the park the Australia Zoo, and married Terri Raines. While on their honeymoon, Steve and Terri filmed the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter. Originally airing only on Australian television, The Crocodile Hunter began to gain popularity and eventually, in 1996, reached the United States and United Kingdom. The Crocodile Hunter was now a part of the Animal Planet network and Steve was on his way to stardom.
By 1999, The Crocodile Hunter was being watched in 137 countries. Steve continued to do television programs, including The 10 Deadliest Sharks in the World, and made television appearances on The Tonight Show. Soon Steve’s khaki uniform and "Crikey!" expression became a pop culture phenomenon, and The Crocodile Hunter continued to increase its following in over 200 countries.
Lights, Camera, Crikey! 2001-2006
With the huge success stemming from The Crocodile Hunter, it was inevitable that Steve would take a chance at Hollywood. In 2001, Steve made a cameo appearance in Eddie Murphy's Dr. Doolittle 2. Later, he would go on to star in his own film called The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. Collision Course went on to win a Young Artist Award for "Best Family Feature Film" and grossed more than double its production costs at the box office.
With only a guest appearance in the Wiggle's movie Wiggly Safari and a brief voice-over in Happy Feet after Collision Course, Steve's movie career was short-lived. However, he continued to excel in what he knew best, television.
When Animal Planet decided to cancel The Crocodile Hunter, Steve continued to star in several Animal Planet series, including New Breed Vets and The Crocodile Hunter Diaries. In Diaries, audiences got to see life at the Australia Zoo and even a pregnant Terri.
A Tragic End, Sept. 4, 2006
On Sept. 4, 2006, at the Great Barrier Reef just off the coast of northern Queensland, Steve and his crew planned to shoot footage for the new documentary Ocean's Deadliest. Because of bad weather, however, Steve decided instead to get some shots in shallower waters for his daughter Bindi's show. While swimming, Steve accidentally got too close to a stingray. In response to Steve's presence, the stingray defensively shot up its barb, piercing straight through Steve's heart. John Stainton, who had worked with Steve for years since the very first Crocodile Hunter episode, could not believe the events. Paramedics raced to Steve's aid, but it was too late.
Steve's death was a shock to his family, friends and the world. On Sept. 20 at the Australia Zoo's Crocoseum, Terri held an open memorial service for her husband. During the service, Bindi delivered one of the most moving speeches about her father. (Less)
Barbara Jenkel In time for Veterans Day, East Coast Assistance Dogs (ECAD), in conjunction with at risk students at (More) In time for Veterans Day, East Coast Assistance Dogs (ECAD), in conjunction with at risk students at Children's Village's residential school, will be training four veterans who were disabled in the Iraq War to work with their new assistance dogs. Assistance Dog Boot Camp, which runs from November 4 through November 18, is a rigorous two-week program in which the Vets are paired with their new canine helpers and learn how to work with the dogs and care for them. The Vets will be trained through lectures, dog handling drills and community field trips conducted by ECAD instructors and teen trainers.
Under the supervision of ECAD staff, the students at Children's Village and other residential schools in the area have spent the past 18-24 months training dogs to perform more than 80 commands, including opening and closings doors, answering the phone, turning on lights, acting as stability supports and responding to medical alarms. These special animals will give their new owners a measure of independence and security not otherwise possible.
This special All Veterans Boot Camp comes to an end at Assistance Dog Graduation on November 19th at 5:30pm. The students will ceremoniously hand over the leads of the dogs that they have spent so much time caring for, training, and loving. For the students, the Assistance Dog Training Program is a chance to give back to people who are less fortunate then they are.
Veterans receiving dogs are as follows:
•Mary Dague, age 23, of San Antonio, TX Ms. Dague is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom where she lost both her arms from the elbow down.
•Luis Montalvan, age 35, from Brooklyn, NY Mr. Montalvan served his country for 15 years. He did two tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was wounded in Iraq in an assassination attempt by attackers with knives, where he was knocked unconscious and suffered three vertebrae fractured in his back, leading to mobility issues with his right leg.
•Andrew Hanson, age 22 years old, of Luverne, MN - Mr. Hanson lost both of his legs due to a roadside bombing while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
•Ricky Boone, age 49, from Hempstead, NY - Mr. Boone served during Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he received a hip injury and underwent spinal surgery.

East Coast Assistance Dogs (ECAD), based in Torrington Connecticut, is a non-profit organization that was founded for the purpose of helping people with disabilities gain greater independent and mobility through the use of specially trained dogs. ECAD instructors work with at risk students who do the actual training. This not only helps the students develop confidence and skills, but also allows ECAD to train far more dogs than would otherwise be possible. Since its inception in 1995, ECAD has placed assistance dogs with more than 100 clients, including individuals with spinal chord injuries, central nervous system disorders, autism, sleep disorders and more.
