Thanking Marcum & Wallace Hospital Once Again! Well, another exciting trip to the Marcum and Wallace Memorial Hospital’s ER Department ... only this time it wasn’t for me. No, my dear sweet dad, who turns 82 years old on September 10th, kind of over-did himself in the heat. Now, of course, dad won’t be too pleased with me for sharing this information, but I can’t let my appreciation go unknown. From the excellent care he received from the Estill County EMT’s who came out to the farm, to the wonderful ER Department at the hospital - I just have to say that we are truly blessed to have these services in our town. Really, we are! As I’ve said in columns past, I come from an area in Idaho that only has medical care ONE DAY a week. And if the doctor is sick and can’t make it up the ‘hill’, then there is no medical care, except for a few EMT’s. So, yes, I know what it’s like to live in a spot with no hospital. Every single time I’ve had to deal with the staff at MWMH, it’s been exceptional. Now, you might think it is because of this magazine, but if the truth be known many people don’t really know who I am when I’m out in public. They know Dave. So, these people don’t really know me from Adam. Well, except for Jordyn Crowe, who has actually worked on me and again on dad this time. So, support the fine services the hospital provides. Without your continued support, funding just decreases for smaller rural hospitals. I’d also like to give a shout out to the Estill Arts Council for the lovely display case in the lobby near the ER. Estill County has some amazing artists!

Our Final Winner!

Yes, after ten years, and countless prizes we are having to cease our Abby Tracks Contest each month. We know this is a favorite feature, so we will continue to include a hidden paw print each month. We hope you will understand, but we want to keep publishing ATC each month and as with most businesses, cuts have to be made.

The final winner of our Abby Track contest is Goldie Stipe of Frenchburg, Kentucky. Goldie found the Abby Tracks on page 19 in the School Bus Safety ad. She wins a $100.00 gift certificate to Red River Gorge Cabin Rentals, located in the Red River Gorge. Thank you for participating for the past ten years!

Dave and I will be again taking off the third week of September for the 24th Annual Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival. It’s become a ‘thing’ now for a big group of us. Some of Estill County, some from West Virginia. It’s quite the reunion, and looks to be again this year. Many thanks to Johnny and Seth Masters for keeping care of the farm while we are away. And of course, our neighbors, Hubert and Judy Estes, who are always on the watch for us - as we are with them. •••••• The magazine seems to keep shrinking each month. It’s not because we don’t try. Really, I’m sure there are those out there that just hate to see one of us coming into their business. We don’t enjoy it either, but it’s a necessary part of the process to print this magazine each month. It’s not something that we can afford on our own, yet we want to continue bringing you the magazine for as long as there are businesses out there to help support it each month. Literally, without them, there is no us. So, thank you all for your valued advertising each and every month that you can afford it. Until next month, I hope life treats you well.

The Snake Got Killed …. Two or Three Times!

Welcome to the Railroad Festival! 177 Broadway, Irvine, KY 606-723-2450

Submitted by Wendell Johnson of Irvine

WELCOME TO THE RAVENNA RAILROAD FESTIVAL!

Last week, I was at one of my friends’ place late in the evening. He has chickens and it was egg gathering time. He saw this large Bullnose snake leaving the nest. Right away, I saw the beautiful markings on its back. He is a snake catcher and I told him to catch it and I would make a pet of it. We noticed it had swallowed a large egg or something. My friend is a collector of golf balls and he had them in his hen nest, not thinking anyone would find them and steal them there. He had lots of golf balls of Tiger Woods and only one of Arnold Palmer, which was valued at about three hundred dollars. The one the snake chose was Palmers.

Warren F. Toler Funeral Home

Anyway, he caught it and put it in a feed bag. I tied it to my windshield wipers on the hood. I did not want it to escape in my car until I could tame it down. I have some dogs that does not like snakes. They heard the commotion in the paper bag and stacked the bag away from me. My beautiful pet with all the stripes on his back was history. I had intended to cut him open the next morning and remove the valued golf ball.

It was about dark, so my dogs left it alone. I guess they later dragged it into my neighbors yard. He got up early the next morning and killed the snake again. Wednesday is our garbage pickup day. Our sanitation man is a snake expert, being raised in the mountains of Estill County. He identified it as non-poisonous. He threw it in with the garbage and it went to the landfill to be buried with the cans, bottles and baby diapers - plus some radio-active waste. So it was probably killed again. My friend that lost the golf ball slips into the landfill at night to look for his golf ball.

There IS A Better Way! By Pam Hedge

Estill County has been dealt a rough hand by the discovery of some form of nuclear waste has been deposited in our local landfill. It’s going to take years to sort this mess out - and I have no doubt some heads will roll over this. As they should. This is our environment getting dumped on. Not just Estill County’s environment - the world’s environment. This ‘waste’ came from somewhere, where it is also polluting that ground. And I have no doubt that it’s happening in just about every state, in some form or fashion.

There are things we can do to help our environment from this point forward though. Dave and I have taken some drastic steps to get rid of all chemicals in our home. Those that know us, know we are taking a number of supplements through Plexus and really have seen a huge different in our lives. Since the beginning of our journey, we’ve really started watching labels and taking more notice about what we are putting in our bodies. And, yes, if you are interested in learning more, contact me. I’m more than happy to share with everyone I come in contact with.

But, we’ve done other things as well. After doing some research, I learned of probably a hundred things I’ve sent to that landfill that I shouldn’t have. Yikes. So, more research. One things us Plexus people do is drink a lot of bottled water. Between Dave and I, we were going through a lot of those plastic bottles. Now, I’ve never had a whole lot of success with a Brita filter system, so I got to looking around for alternatives. Boom! A water ozonator does the trick. A friend calls me and tells me all about her water ozonator system, right about the same time. Funny how God works, isn’t it? I was looking for a decent answer - not one that involved re-working our complete water system. I found a water ozonator that hangs right above our sink. It ozonates our water, but also ozonates fruits and vegetables as well. You wouldn’t believe the chemicals on our store-bought produce! Well, yes you might. This thing works awesome. And we haven’t

BLUEGRASS CRAFT AND ANTIQUE MALL

125 E. Elkins St. Stanton, KY

thrown a plastic water bottle into the trash since we got it. Yes, doing our part, in a little way, of reducing what goes into that landfill. You know a plastic bottle never disintegrates. Nor does plastic wrap!

Remember that comment above .... ‘funny how God works.’ Well, this next one is another example of that. My cousin, April Haller, invited us to a home party for this product called Norwex. And in a bizarre twist to things - I couldn’t go because I was setting up at a drug rally in Powell County. So Dave went for me. Yes, Dave. And when Dave shows up to join me for the Rally later that day, he says “we are ordering some of that stuff.”. You see, Norwex is just another product to elimate chemicals from our environment - and, get this, reduce waste at the landfill. Yes, reduces the amount of waste sent to the landfill. Norwex is a revolutionary microfibre towel that holds 7 times it’s weight in water. And, the best part? You don’t use it with windex, you don’t use it with Pine Sol. You use it with water. Yes, just everyday plain ole’ water. Now, even after Dave tells me ‘we’ve got to have it,’ I still needed to see it to believe it. And, I’m telling you - this product has changed things in our house. No more chemicals. No more vacuum cleaner, which just uses energy through a plug. And our home is cleaner than it’s ever been. I mean, ever been in 24 years. Not that I’m a slob, but once the kidlet left home, it was easier to ease up on houework and go outside and play in the garden. Now, I do both. Literally, this line of products cuts your cleaning time in at least half. Anyone that washes their windows with the window cloth every single day, has definitely turned a corner. And talk about clean! Spotless. Without nothing but water and a Norwex rag. If you are interested in either Plexus to have a healthy body, visit www. theplexuspeople.com. If you are interested in this incredible line of chemical free cleaning products, visit http://pamhedge.norwex.biz. And please, no matter what methods you use ... please be mindful of our environment.

MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!

Steam Engine Pizza Pub .... Delish!

By Pam Hedge Dave and I rarely go out to eat. He’s says it’s a waste, since I eat so little of a meal once I order it. Our recent visit to Steam Engine Pizza Pub resulted in the same thing - we brought much of our meal home. Of course, we didn’t stop for a meal .... just a little snack. And from the pictures, you can see it was much more than a snack. What we took home turned into dinner that evening. We love Steam Engine though. It’s about the only place Dave takes me when we do eat out. Or if he brings dinner home from town, it’s usually one of their delicious pizzas. My recommendation .... try the Kentucky Hot Brown Pizza! Owned by two local attorneys, they knew we had a need for a good pizza place in Irvine, one that offers big screen TV’s and a few games to play even! Steam Engine serves beer and wine, but the bar is located in a separate room, so kids are always welcome and don’t have to see the ‘bar’ when dining. Steam Engine is a sister restaurant to one in Richmond called Apollo Pizza. That used to be our favorite pizza restaurant. Dave even requested it as his first meal after his stroke. After a couple of years of residents begging for an Apollo Pizza in Irvine, it finally happened. Now, don’t get me wrong ... we still frequent Apollo too, but we don’t get over to Richmond very often. Usually just on delivery days. So, having this available in Irvine has saved many that drive over to Richmond. On our visit this time, we chose to have Boneless Wings, Fried Pickles and Palace Cheesy Bread. As you can see, way more food than two could eat. It was absolutely wonderful and I even tried the Wings, which I never do! And our waitress, Meggie Scott, was a delight! My usual menu choice is one of their absolutely delicious salads. And they are huge, well at least for me they are. But they are worth it. And if you are a fan of thin-crust pizza, as Dave is, this is the place. Hope you’ll stop in and try them out. It’s worth a trip to Irvine.

Above, a medium - yes medium - order of Palace Cheesy Bread. Below was Dave’s menu choice, fried pickles and boneless wings.

Dear ATC Magazine,

It took me a few minutes to find Abby’s paw print because my pet baby chick kept pecking at the pages and trying to cuddle up in my hands. Even now, he’s pecking at my pen tip. I really enjoy checking out your magazine every month to see all the cool articles. By the way, thank you so much for the recent lemon cupcake recipe on page ten. I’ve been looking for something new to try. It’s cool that the magazine features the Jenkins Twins. I actually was a freshman in high school when they graduated from E.C.H.S. I saw them perform once in the school talent contest. They were in a band called W.A.T.T. That was the only time I’ve ever really seen them perform but they were really good. Anyhow, thanks for the magazine. Some of the articles have really helped. In fact, the article on “Safe Handling of Chicks” will really help. Thanks! Sincerely Mollie Wilson

To reduce the entry of lady beetles, cluster flies and other overwintering pests, repair gaps and tears in window and door screens. Keep windows closed when adults are emerging to prevent entry. Repairing screens also will keep out flies, gnats, mosquitoes and midges next summer.

Eric Baker

Estill County Extension Office

Bug proof your house this fall

Another way to prevent pest entry is to apply an exterior barrier treatment with insecticides. To gain the most from this effort, apply longlasting liquid formulations that contain synthetic pyrethroids. These products are available at some hardware, lawn and garden shops.

It is a safe assumption that our homes will be invaded by an assortment of pests this fall, including Asian lady beetles, boxelder bugs, crickets, spiders, and black soldier beetle larvae. These creatures typically visit homes that provide easy entry this time of year, often seeking refuge from changing weather.

If you apply the barrier treatment, use a compressed air or hose-end sprayer to treat the base of all exterior doors, garage, crawl space entrances, foundation vents, utility openings, and beneath siding. It’s also useful to treat the outside perimeter of the foundation with a two- to six-foot wide band along the ground and two to three feet up the foundation wall.

Pest proofing your home is the most efficient way to keep these critters out. A swatter, broom or vacuum cleaner and trash container will take care of pests that occasionally wander indoors. It’s best to deal with boxelder bugs and lady beetles outside, before they enter your home.

If you prefer not to tackle these pest-proofing activities, contact a professional pest control firm. Many firms are beginning to offer pest-proofing services.

Following these guidelines will help pest proof your home or place of business and some may even help you conserve energy and increase the comfort level this fall and winter. Install door sweeps or thresholds at the base of all exterior entry doors, paying particular attention to the bottom corners that are a common entry location. Insects and spiders can enter through a gap of one-sixteenth of an inch or less. Get down on the floor and check for light entering under doors; this indicates possible pest entryways. To close other potential pest entries, apply caulk on the bottom outside edges and sides of door thresholds; fit garage doors with a rubber bottom seal because vinyl doesn’t seal well in the winter; and line the bottom track of sliding glass doors with foam weather stripping ½ to ¾ inch wide to seal any gaps. Utility openings where pipes and wires enter the foundation and siding are common entry points for spiders, ants, yellowjackets and rodents. You can use caulk, cement, urethane expandable foam, steel wool and copper mesh to plug openings around outdoor faucets, receptacles, gas meters, clothes dryer vents and telephone or cable television wires.

I have the privilege to share the responsibility of raising 12 awesome Estill County girls. From the time these girls came into my life, I have loved and only wanted the best for each of them. Their parents have allowed me the opportunity to help build up their confidence, watch them learn, and give them a chance to learn about not just Estill County but the world and what it has to offer. I want to see them grow, make life long friends, Excel in school and other interests. I want to watch them become leaders and be a team. These girls are all special and I am thankful and blessed I get to be a small part of their lives. But there are so many other girls in Estill county that also need to learn and experience this special thing called sisterhood or what I know to be called Girl Scouts. I have been a part of Estill County for 20 years or so and have been impressed with all the Boy Scouts and every once in a while come across a Girl Scout, but not often. I often wondered why? Right now Girl Scout Troop #7182 is the only Girl Scout Troop in Estill County and our girls think that is sad. We feel all girls should experience the fun and excitement we have had over the last 3 and a half years. We have grown from 5 girls to 12 and would like to see other troops and girls in Estill County. We will be working on getting stem programs in the schools and maybe some after school troops at the schools or if we could use volunteers and girls to form other troops. Our troop is working very hard to show girl power in Estill County and other local areas. We have done so much during our troops beginning...we have learned about and visited the library, firehouse, greenhouse, farms, police station, donut shops, restaurants and other businesses. We have had random acts of kindness in and around our community. We have adopted families during the holidays and helped toys for tots. There are so many opportunities to learn and help. We are super excited that the High School Spanish club will be doing a mentor program with us thanks to Mrs Sherry Murphy. We will be collecting pet food and pet care items, we are helping a sister girl scout to get a service dog due to her disease. There is so much to do and learn. This past summer our girls have bridged from Brownie Girl Scouts to Junior Girl Scouts which means more community service and more learning. Here are some pictures of some of our events..think what the girls in your lives could do and experience because Girl Scouts are more than cookies and I know Troop 7182 is about to take Estill County by storm.

Uncle Bob’s Poetry By Bobby Hedge of Olive Hill, Kentucky

Happy Hickory Corner Days

Happy Birthday Bro

There is a place in good old Carter County. Just three miles from the town of Olive Hill, Where we would meet to play and sing And make that five string banjo ring, When Steve Collins sang of Homer Lawson’s field.

In September of Nineteen Thirty Four He was born to Ruby and Bob, Went to Cincinnati at seventeen And got a factory job. But that kind of work was not for him So the gave that door a slam, Then for twenty years he traveled the world As he worked for Uncle Sam.

Larry Fraley sang a song called some Dark Hollow. And Tom Horsley sang about Miss Julie Ann, Scott Tackett sang the wishing well I would sing New Freedom Bell, And George Molton sang about the working man. I miss those weekends here at Hickory corner I use to dream about it all week long, When we all would get together After we’d worked hard all week, Sometimes we’d write a brand new bluegrass song. Those good old days are now a piece of history When the neighbors came to hear us play and sing, I’ll cherish all the times we played And all the memories we made, A friendship is a great and priceless thing.

Girl Scouting Fun

SCOUTING IS FUN

Apply a good-quality silicone or acrylic latex caulk to cracks around windows, doors, fascia boards and other openings. Before you apply the caulk, clean existing caulk, and remove any that’s peeling to aid adhesion. Be sure to use a good caulking gun. Desirable features are a back-off trigger to stop caulk when desired, a built-in “slicer” to remove the tip from new caulking tubes, and a nail to puncture the seal within. These guns are available for less than $10.

The Air Force taught him many things As he served his native land, Serving in the air commandos With three tours of Viet Nam. When retired he flew his own airplanes And with wisdom he’s been blessed, He’s even owned some sail boats And ran charters off Key West. I have great respect for this fellow As a brother he’s pretty cool, A pilot..a skipper…an archery pro And a whiz at playing pool. He now is a farmer near Irvine, Kentucky And he loves to watch things grow, He was born in a town called Olive Hill Some eighty years ago.

Wilderness Wanderings . . .

By Bill Gordon Stanton, KY

I Didn’t Know I Was Green...

I like to find a comfortable spot out in the woods to just take time to sit and think, observe my surroundings, and be at peace with myself. Recently I was thinking about my lifestyle and how I fit into the larger landscape of life all around me. It is intriguing to me how corporate America is marketing the now-popular “green” lifestyle. Just walk into any grocery store, big box store, or other retailer and you will be inundated with hundreds of product labels touting “green” this and “eco” that, “save the planet” and “earthfriendly” slogans, complete with captivating labels with backdrops of pristine landscapes and exotic wildlife. Don’t get me wrong, I am a champion of the environment, and I have spent a majority of my life trying to make the world a better place for my grandchildren. I guess I’ve just been around long enough to see how trends and fads come and go, and to look back at my experiences to (hopefully) make some wise choices and gain a bit of wisdom in the process. Not long ago I purchased a nice dress shirt, on sale mind you...regularly $54, now only $16...WOW! Who couldn’t resist at least looking at it? It was nice, a great color choice for me, and just my size. Let’s see, the material was made from cotton fields doused with herbicides and pesticides, processed with petrochemicals and shipped halfway around the world to China, which is an environmental disaster, where the shirt assembly is outsourced to increase corporate profiteering, and then packaged in plastic and then shipped by another fossil-fuel ride the other half-way around the world, to eventually end up- after who knows how many stops at shipping ports, trucking, distribution centers, trucking, wholesaler warehouses, trucking- to finally end up hanging on this rack screaming out its bargain price to me. I looked at the tags. Yep, sure is a bargain. And right there on the tiny two-inch square piece of card stock label in fine print is the reminder “Go green – Tag is recyclable”. When I was a kid we wore chinos to school and jeans to play, and had a dress-up suit or sport coat for church or special occasions. My brother and I each had a three-drawer dresser and a small hanging closet for clothes. We didn’t have boxes and boxes of clothes stored away, piles of clothes in corners, or clothes scattered all over our room. My mom sewed pull-over tee shirts for summer and knitted wonderfully warm sweaters for winter (imagine that). We weren’t poor, and we weren’t making a “green” environmental statement, that phrase wasn’t invented yet. We just had the clothes we needed, not whatever we wanted, or what the current fad or “in” brand dictated we buy. Last year I got a bottle for Christmas. It was my favorite gift. No, it wasn’t a redhead from Maker’s Mark; it was an old milk bottle from Brookfield Dairy. You see, that was the small, local dairy where we got our milk when I was a child in eastern Pennsylvania. Brookfield delivered milk twice a week, putting fresh quarts of milk in a little box on our back porch sometime before dawn, and taking the empties back to the dairy to be washed and reused, recycling them over and over again hundreds of times. THAT’S recycling. Isn’t that a novel idea! That’s just what we did back then; the convenience of plastic throwaways wasn’t invented yet. Those neat quart bottles were shaped with a baby head on top, which was filled with thick, rich cream in the whole, non-homogenized milk. You would shake the bottle to mix in the cream before pouring a glass of milk. I have fond memories of sneaking a bottle out of the refrigerator and drinking the wonderfully rich cream off the top, much to my mother’s chagrin. As I held the bottle on Christmas morning I thought there just might be a chance that I might have held this very same bottle as a preschooler, pulled off the cardboard top, and slurped out the thick, rich cream. Occasionally we would walk or ride our bikes to the garage-sized Linuty’s Grocery Store down the road with a nickel in our jeans pocket to buy an icy-cold Nehi, Root Beer, or Coke in the big slide-top metal cooler. We’d be sure never to throw away the bottle, and would search for any we could find, because they could be turned in for a two-cent deposit. We weren’t doing a community challenge event, school or scout project, it was just what you did with the bottles back then; and searching out a rare find by the roadside was purely an eight year old’s entrepreneur effort... two cents could be turned into two big pretzel rods straight out of a big metal tin at the store, slathered in yellow mustard, and eaten in the shade of the huge Sugar Maple tree out front. Those bottles went back to the bottling plant, were washed, and used over and over again. We never saw or heard the slogan “no deposit – no return”.

I recently worked with a near-thirty year old guy who blatently-blamed all our environmental and economic problems on the older conservative generation. He was still a student working on a second degree, lived mostly on his parent’s dime, drove a gift car, and said he couldn’t serve in the military or Peace Corps because of “health problems”. He seemed to delight in starting political conversations that railed against anything but the current trendy liberal thought. Once he openly criticized my use of a plastic zip-loc sandwich bag at lunch, citing my wastefulness in using a disposable bag just to bring a couple homemade cookies in my lunch tote. Funny thing, I consciously debated with myself that morning as I packed my lunch... I usually pack everything in glass containers that are easily washed and reused many hundreds of times. As I ate a cookie I watched him leave the lunchroom, on his way to driving the two blocks to a fast food joint to pick up his lunch consisting of a roast beef sandwich made from some questionable beef sludge processed into loaves, fries, and soft drink; all neatly packaged in several layers of disposable packaging. But he thinks he is “green” because he drives a more fuel efficient Honda Accord and I drive a Chevy 4 x 4 pick-up truck (with 230,000 miles on it). Sad, I thought. I guess my generation is to blame for creating some environmental disasters, and they are us. Growing up one of my favorite TV shows was Bonanza. We’d sit on the couch as a family and watch the show on the television set that sat in the living room, unlike today where each kid has their own flat screen in the bedroom, besides the home theater giant flat screen in the “family” room and the slightly smaller version mounted on the kitchen wall. All these waferthin marvels of modern technology suck electricity even when off, 24-7, and usually empower Wii or Wi-Fi, sound bars or surround sound, and assorted electronic toys. We’d watch a few shows during a week’s time- Dragnet, Ed Sullivan, and The Rifleman, but mostly we’d be outside playing Army or Cowboys, riding bikes, or playing ball games. We didn’t have computers, X Box, Wii, cell phones or camera phones or I phones or smart phones, I Pads or I Pods, notebooks, MP3’s, CD players, VHS players, cable TV, cassette players, Bose radio or Kindles... we weren’t green back then trying to conserve electricity, all those toys weren’t invented yet. Apples and Blackberries were for eating, and we played with marbles, cap guns, bows and arrows, bb guns, bikes in summer and sleds and skates in winter. None of our toys required electric outlets or batteries. We had a couple of lights we switched on when we were in a room and turned off when we left, and a window fan we used on hot summer nights. We didn’t seem to know the apparent dangers of heat indexes and temperatures over 80, and instead of staying indoors in the AC we went swimming at the YMCA, community pool, local lake, or the secret, forbidden swimming hole that everyone knew about and swam in; and we splashed in the rain during those cooling summer rainstorms. How we ever survived without air conditioning is a mystery, judging from the news reporters on present-day TV droning out heat index warnings all summer long. My parents weren’t making an environmental statement; we just didn’t have an air conditioned home or car. In fact, none of my friends did either. Now, there are central AC units attached to everyone’s home, and often multiple units needed; all pulling fossil fuel current from April to October, maintaining a constant, comfortable 72 degree cocoon for the inhabitants in our currently “green” lifestyle. There were a couple wall outlets in each room, many empty; others with a floor lamp, maybe a radio, record turntable, or clock. The only time I can remember extension cords being used was at Christmas when we lit the light strings on the cut, live tree. Now you see outlets within arm’s reach on every wall, many adorned with a variety of expanders, power strips, and surge protectors; all filled with cords from a huge array of games, gadgets, and tools made to make life easier, more comfortable, or perhaps... more enjoyable. I don’t know about all that hype, but I do know there is a never-ending yearning for the newest game or gadget, style or model; and most people seem to be more stressed than ever over how to pay for all this comfort and convenience. All too often we rationalize our insatiable desire for consumerism with a nod towards being “green”, when in reality we have no idea how a product was made, what resources or ingredients were used, where it was sourced, shipped from, packaged, or how it was treated. Whether we like it or not, or will admit it or not, we are bilked into buying by corporate advertising rather than personal knowledge or real environmental concern.

Green,

Continued from Page 18

“Recycled” doesn’t always mean less resources used or a more cost-efficient product, “natural” means little or nothing towards the environment or your health, “organic” isn’t always 100% organic, “wild caught” isn’t always wild, and “free range” doesn’t mean roaming free on lush green pastures like the label picture suggests. “Eco-friendly”, “earth-smart”, enviro-friendly”, and “save the planet” are often corporate slogans whose sole purpose is to capture market share. Industries spend millions developing packaging that says just what you want to see to justify the purchase of that product. As time and technology change, things that are first a novelty for a few become a luxury for many, then quickly become a necessity for most. Too often we think we are doing the right thing, when in fact we are just blinded to the real solutions to our biggest problems. A lot of you went to school about the same time I did. We got all our school supplies and text books at school. Each year the books were “recycled” to the next class, and we put book covers on the books to

protect them from wear. Most of us used brown paper grocery bags, which made perfect covers for drawing, doodling, writing homework assignments, and friendship autographs. We also used the bags for garbage bags, carrying vegetables from the garden, storage bags, gift bags, draining hot bacon, craft projects, vacation totes, as well as... taking them back to the grocery store to use again. Nowadays a brown paper bag in a grocery store is a novelty, replaced by the BILLIONS of plastic bags we use annually; bags that are filling our landfills, killing our wildlife, washing up on Caribbean beaches and hanging in trees in the desert southwest, choking whales and marine fish and cluttering our roadsides. I even have a Wren nest with bits of a Wal-Mart bag woven into the nest cup. Carrying an imported bag toting the logo “I used to be a milk jug” may be trendy, but using a grocery bag over and over again or sewing your own cloth bag makes more sense. What’s the rationale in installing a 55 gallon drum rain barrel when you continue to waste thousands of gallons of water on your chemical-ridden lawn just to be the greenest lawn on the block? Changing to a CFL light bulb on the front porch means little when we continue to leave lights on all over the house, some on 24 – 7, and have vanity floodlights showcasing our gorgeous landscaping and house profile. We treat clothing as a disposable commodity. We complain about government waste, military spending, excessive medical costs, gas prices, but mostly the “other guy”, while we continue to fill huge garbage cans twice a week, fill our garages, basements, attics, homes, and storage lockers with “stuff”, fill our days with the unattainable goals of achieving the perfect dream lifestyle, and fill our minds with the constant negative bombardment of the daily news, advertising, and corporate hype. What we need most, and what most people are unwilling to consider, is a serious change in our personal lifestyle and habits.

Real change can only come from within.

He has built a cottage home from recycled wood products, tapped a spring for water, heats with crap wood, uses a composting toilet system, produces his own power, and his home is designed to use less than 200 watts of electricity. Organic gardening, canning, and preserving food are major factors in personal eating, and he is constantly learning new skills to make things, repair equipment, and live simply. His property is a registered wildlife sanctuary, a certified sustainable forest, part of a carbon offset project, and is a certified Family Stewardship Forest.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
