PBS show's stars to visit Canfield



THE VINDICATOR
CANFIELD -- For 15 people who always wanted to live in the Old West, the new PBS program "Texas Ranch Hose" is a dream come true. PBS 45/49 will bring two of those participants to Peaberry's Caf & eacute; and Bakery, 4350 Boardman-Canfield Road, Canfield, at 11 a.m. Saturday to talk about their experiences and to meet fans of the show. Shaun Terhune, 20, and Anders Heintz, 25, assumed the roles of cowboys who lived, worked and experienced life as it might have been on a Texas cattle ranch in 1867.
Profiles
Terhune, a Vermont native who is a student at Bowling Green University in Ohio, is the youngest of the cowboys. He grew up with his seven brothers and sisters in Vermont. Like his siblings, he was home-schooled and taught to thrive outdoors. Terhune is also an accomplished writer who has worked at his small-town newspaper. He would like to have studied psychology and writing along with his declared major, geology, but decided it was more practical to study rocks than Freud.
Heintz looks and sounds like an all-American kid who likes to ride horses. In reality, he came to the United States from Sweden as an exchange student when he was 16 and decided to stay. His home is now in Missouri, where he shares five acres with his horse, Girl. Heintz is close to finishing a degree in animal science at Missouri State University. He has competed on his college's equestrian team and plans to join the rodeo team. He is also an accomplished sculptor who has won awards for his historical miniatures.
Fans of the show can hear Terhune and Heintz talk about the three months they spent during the summer of 2005 living the life of the Old West. More information about "Texas Ranch House" is available on the show's Web site, www.pbs/wnet/ranchhouse.
"Texas Ranch House" is the latest installment from the producers of the very successful "House" hands-on history series, including "Colonial House" and "Frontier House." It airs on PBS 45/49 from Monday through Thursday at 9 p.m.
