eing green, living green, building green and even dressing green – folks everywhere are jumping on the green bandwagon. And why not? Most of us can admit to that feeling of disgust when we drive down the streets and highways and view trash lying alongside the road; or while vacationing on the beach catching not waves, but trash that lines the coastal shores. The nonprofit organization Keep America Beautiful estimates that Americans alone produce 251.3 million tons of garbage each year, making us the No. 1 trash producer in the world. Each individual produces about nearly 4.5 pounds of waste per day. It’s got to go somewhere!

CONSIDER THE SAVINGS Rumor has it that recycling costs more than it’s worth. In reality, it costs about $30 per ton to recycle trash versus $50 per ton to get it to the landfill and $65 to $75 to incinerate it.

• Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough energy to power the average American home for five months.

• Recycling paper instead of making it from new material generates 74 percent less air pollution and uses 50 percent less water and requires about 60 percent of the energy used to make paper from virgin wood pulp.

• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a 100-watt bulb for 20 hours, a computer for three hours and a TV for two hours, according to the EPA. • Recycling aluminum saves 95 percent of the energy used to make the material from scratch. That means you can make 20 cans out of recycled material with the same amount of energy it takes to make one can out of new material. Energy savings in 1993 alone were enough to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years.

• Energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours. Compared to producing a new bottle from raw materials, recycling produces 20 percent less air pollution and 50 percent less water pollution. The mining and transportation involved in producing glass from raw materials produces about 385 pounds of waste for every ton of glass produced. That waste is reduced by more than 80 percent when using recycled glass.

recycling awareness. Neighborhoods work together for recycling with some slogans such as “Before you bin it, think what’s in it.” Some have made mosaic walkways out of broken tiles and crockery, as well as installed picnic tables and benches at local parks made from recycled plastics.

• Ben & Jerry’s ice cream boasts the use of ice cream containers made out of unbleached paper in order to help reduce the production of the toxic chemical dioxin that comes from bleaching paper products.

EVERYBODY IS DOING IT • More than half of Duracell’s international headquarters was built using its own waste materials from the manufacture of batteries. It included ceiling tiles from newspapers, roofing from aluminum and flooring from broken light bulbs and other crushed glass.

PLASTIC...

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS The bad news:

• Cereal manufacturers such as Kellogg’s uses 100 percent recycled paper for their boxes. Some even sell cereal in bags for a cost savings of between 35 and 40 percent over the price of the same cereal purchased in boxes.

• Ninety percent of all debris floating in the ocean is plastic.

• Disney parks stepped up their recycling efforts beginning in the 1990’s that has included recycling bins strategically placed throughout their facilities.

• Every year, we make enough plastic film to shrink-wrap Texas!

• Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour and most of them are thrown away.

• Every year, Americans throw away 25 billion Styrofoam cups – enough to circle the earth 436 times every year, and Styrofoam is NOT recyclable.

• The folks in Bristol, England host a Waste Not Festival each year to raise

The good news: • Plastic can be recycled into many great products such as “lumber” for park benches, public trash receptacles, picnic tables, parking bumpers, plastic grocery bags and more.

• 26 recycled PET (a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family used in synthetic fibers) bottles equals a polyester suit; 5 recycled PET bottles make enough fiberfill to stuff a ski jacket.

• If every American household recycled just one out of every 10 HDPE bottles they used, we’d keep 200 million pounds of the plastic out of landfills every year.

SHUFFLING PAPER Even with computers and efforts made toward becoming a paperless society, we still use about 85 million tons of paper per year or some 680 pounds per person. The good news is that more than 56 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. in 2007 was taken in for recycling.

• Recycled paper can be made into paper towels, notebook paper, enveSnippetz Talks Trash...

• We could heat 50 million homes for 20 years with the wood and paper that is thrown away each year.

Glass never wears out. It can be recycled forever. We save over a ton of resources for every ton of glass recycled: 1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone and 151 pounds of feldspar.

• Americans throw away enough glass bottles and jars every two weeks to fill the 1,350-foot towers of the former World Trade Center.

• Most bottles and jars contain at least 25 percent recycled glass.

• Recycled glass can also be used to make products such as counter tops and flooring.

POPPING THE TOP… AND… DON’T THROW THAT OLD LAWN FURNITURE AWAY! Americans use 100 million tin and steel cans every day and throw away enough aluminum every month to rebuild our entire commercial air fleet. One tossed aluminum can wastes as much energy as filling the same can half full of gasoline and pouring it into the ground.

• In as little as 60 days a used aluminum can is able to go through the recycling process and land back on

• If that aluminum can is thrown away, it will still be a can in a landfill for the next 500 or more years, but there is no limit to the number of times it can be recycled.

• Tin cans used for food items such as soup and canned tomatoes are made of 99 percent steel. Every year, Americans throw away enough steel to build all the new cars that are made in this country.

• Although aluminum cans are the most recycled item in the U.S., gutters, car parts, storm window frames, lawn furniture and building siding can also be recycled.

• Even aluminum shavings can be recycled, although it’s a bit more difficult and takes some creativity.

Some counter tops are now made from these shavings that are good looking, interesting and you’ll be the envy of the neighborhood with these as a conversation piece.

The program titled, “Community EssentialsNon-profits, Business & Government” will be informative for anyone who is interested in how 3 sectors of our society impact the lives of our citizens.

• Slats from old whiskey barrels are also used to create furniture. However, we wonder if one smells like a bottle of Jim Beam after sitting in one of these.

A noteworthy panel of guests to include Dan Johnson, PhD, Colorado College, Michael Hannigan, Executive Director, Pikes Peak Community Foundation, Tommie Plank, Trustee, Town of Monument and Jim Wilson, Former Business Owner will discuss these issues. Input will be encouraged from the attendees during a breakout session.

• Hershey’s Kisses are wrapped in aluminum – about 80 million each day – enough to cover about 40 football fields. These little wrappers are recyclable, which is another good reason to eat more chocolate.

Well, somebody’s got to do it.

This is a free event. If you would like to attend please contact the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce at 481-3282 or email kstensland@trilakeschamber.com, as it is important for us to provide adequate space.

• Motor oil can be recycled and refined since it never wears out. A quart of the substance can contaminate about two million gallons of fresh water if it is not recycled or disposed of properly.

• The form-fitting synthetic fabric commonly known as spandex was so named because it’s an anagram of “expands.”

• When you think of a dog herding cattle or sheep, the image in your mind is probably a border collie, a breed well-known for its herding capabilities. You might be surprised to learn that Dalmations, too, were once used to herd livestock. In fact, that’s why they’ve become an icon of firefighters everywhere. Back when fire engines were actually wagons drawn by teams of horses, Dalmations accompanied the firefighters to the scene of a disaster in order to herd the horses to a safe place until the blaze was brought under control.

• Recorders of crime statistics say that the top three cities in the United States in terms of cars being stolen are Modesto, Calif.; Las Vegas; and San Diego.

• If, like many Americans these days, you’re carrying around some extra weight, here’s an added incentive to lose those love handles: For every 50 pounds your car loses from its payload, you’ll get about a 1 percent improvement in gas mileage. Of course, you could just clean out any junk that’s been cluttering up the trunk instead.

It’s not easy deciding when to take away the keys. Many of us live in areas that aren’t served by public transportation, and most of us don’t live in assisted living places with vans that take us shopping and to activities.

Then there’s the not-so-small matter of independence: We seniors don’t want to give up something we’ve done for a long time. Those of us who have a spouse with Alzheimer’s have tough choices to make, and we end up as the “heavy” in the decision.

Unfortunately, the more advanced the Alzheimer’s, the more likely the senior is to deny that there’s a problem and continue to drive. You might have to resort to hiding the car keys or removing a part so the car won’t start.

For an early Alzheimer’s senior who is still driving, GPS mapping systems in the vehicle can make it easier to get from one place to the other. And in the case of the gentleman who was lost in the woods, much time (not to mention his life) could have been saved if there had been a tracking device on his car.

If you have a spouse or parent with Alzheimer’s, consider whether it’s time for you to take a stand -- and the car keys. Look at the Alzheimer’s Association site [www.alz.org] for information and ideas.

Monument, CO

We invite you to a 40th Anniversary celebration to see what we have to offer.

your food and to eat some salty snacks -- another way to ensure body sodium doesn’t bottom out.

OPEN HOUSE Saturday, May 30 10:00am to 4:00pm

Hyponatremia is uncommon. Dehydration is common. For most, drinking water as a replacement fluid in hot weather is fine. It’s not going to lead to a dangerous drop in body sodium.

Only those who lose lots of sweat for long periods of time run the risk of hyponatremia by drinking pure water.

WHAT TO DRINK WHEN EXERCISING IN THE HEAT DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am taking my two teenage boys backpacking in the Southwest this August. It will be hot and dry, and I am preparing for those conditions. I need some guidance on what fluids to drink. I was taught that drinking plain water is the best way to stay hydrated. My older son says his class was told not to drink plain water, because it could cause brain damage.

What is this all about? -- F.W. ANSWER: It’s all about becoming sodium-depleted and having the brain swell as a result. The condition is hyponatremia.

It used to be taught that, when exercising in hot weather, people should guzzle water at every opportunity, even when they don’t feel thirsty. That can be dangerous if the exercise lasts for hours and hours and if the only liquid drunk is water. Too much water dilutes body sodium. That, in turn, can cause brain swelling and, in the extreme, death.

Up-to-date advice is to let thirst be a rough guide for how much liquid you drink. If people are engaged in prolonged exercise, it is good to include some salt in the program. Half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) in a quart of water can keep body sodium levels from dropping. For you and your sons, it would be advisable to salt

The event will be held at Woodmoor Pines Golf & Country Club.

This is advice that doesn’t apply only to athletes or backpackers. It applies to all those who are out working in hot weather and sweating up a storm. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have hypertension, and I go to the beach often.

Can salt in salt water get through the skin as medical patches get through the skin? My doctors have increased my dose of medicine and have added additional medicines without much improvement in my blood pressure.

Could the salt water I swim in be keeping my blood pressure high? -- G.S.

For more information, contact Chris DeCicco at 719-481-2272 ext. 402. www.woodmoorpinesgcc.com

ANSWER: G.S., I know I answered this question before, but you must not have seen it. I’ll do it again.

The salt in salt water doesn’t get through your skin. Swimming in salt water doesn’t raise blood pressure. It improves it. All exercise does.

If you miss the answer this time, G.S., I have to drop the question. People will think I’m obsessed with it.

EXERCISE REALLY PAYS OFF!

Research points to exercise as a direct benefit to the heart. It can lower blood levels of LDL cholesterol (the artery damaging kind), and raise blood levels of HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol). These benefits can be achieved without becoming an “exercise nut.” Just beginning a regular walking program can help.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: You recently wrote a long explanation of how to get rid of fleas on pets and in the house. I have two very large (more than 100 pounds) dogs, very furry, Great Pyrenees. I also have seven cats. I have found with the recent developments in treatments, none of the measures you listed are necessary.

I have one cat that is hypersensitive to flea saliva. I keep an eye on him, and when I notice the little telltale bumps just at the base of his tail, I know we have been infested.

I immediately treat all of the animals with either Frontline or Advantage. End of story. No sprays, no bombs, no bathing fighting cats.

The topical stuff applied between their shoulderblades kills the fleas on them. The

As long as my pets are treated regularly, I don’t have to worry about any hatching eggs: They just hatch, feed and die. So simple and easy. I hope you will consider suggesting this course of treatment. All of the steps you listed easily could discourage someone from becoming a pet owner, and it does not have to be so difficult and timeconsuming. -- Debbie S., via e-mail DEAR DEBBIE: Thanks! Actually, I have recommended topical treatments in the past and used them on my own pets with similar success. However, many of my readers are leery of using a topical treatment, and others tell me it didn’t work at all, particularly with outdoor pets. For them, alternative prevention and treatment methods must be explored.

A COOL SALAD FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS

C

alypso is probably best known as a type of Caribbean folk song. It’s inspired by a combination of musical styles and languages common to Trinidad. Calypso music is rhythmically smooth, and the words are often colorful and sharply critical in a witty way.

This recipe for Calypso Black Bean and Corn Salad draws inspiration from the Caribbean, the easy spirit of the Islands and the music heard there.

The salad takes only a few minutes to assemble, and it can be served either cold or at room temperature. Best of all, most of the ingredients can be found in the pantry or the freezer.

This festive salad instantly became one of my all-time favorites when I was challenged by chef Bobby Flay on his Food Network show “Throwdown With Bobby Flay.” I decided to serve the Calypso Black Bean and Corn Salad as a side dish with my fiery Jerk Chicken.

The wonderful thing about this com-

bination of black beans, corn and spices is that it perfectly compliments the smokiness of barbequed meats.

It’s unique and colorful, and it tastes better the longer it sits in the pepperinfused citrus marinade. The judges loved my dishes, and I was declared the winner of the challenge.

While it was wonderful to claim a culinary victory over chef Flay, the real winners were the guests at the barbeque. They got to eat some of the best dishes in Texas! Try this delicious salad, and you’ll feel like a winner, too!

I

was in a small town in Alaska called Seward where I went into a little bakery and had the best ginger cookies so I had to try to make them. Here they are. I added the oatmeal to them, but they are close.

I used the full flavored molasses because I wanted the cookies to be rich in flavor. Sugared ginger can be found in the Oriental section of Safeway. And feel free to add extra sugared ginger for extra flavor.

Be creative, have fun and enjoy!!!

Wine Appreciation & Tasting Tips

S

brought to you by Dirk at The Wine Seller

SWIRL IT!

wirling the wine vaporizes it, and the thin sheet of liquid on the sides of the glass evaporates rapidly; the result is an intensification of the aromas. The easiest way to swirl is to rest the base of the glass on a table, hold the stem between thumb and forefinger, and gently rotate the wrist. Right-handers will find a counter-clockwise motion easiest, left-handers the reverse. Move the glass until the wine is dancing, climbing nearly to the rim. Then stop. As the liquid settles back into the bottom of the glass, a transparent film will appear on the inside of the bowl, falling slowly and irregularly down the sides in the wine’s “tears” or “legs.” “Experts” derive meanings from them as various and profound as fortune-tellers do from looking at tea leaves, but in truth they’re simply an indication of the amount of alcohol in the wine: the more alcohol, the more tears. Remember that when you’re considering whether to open another bottle.

New DVD Releases for Week of June 1, 2009 PICKS OF THE WEEK “Thrilla in Manila: Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier” -- The “Thrilla in Manila” was the third and final boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. The 1975 bout is considered by many to be the greatest fight of the past half century.

It also was the most brutal. By the 13th round, Frazier, who had a cataract in his

left eye and whose right eye had been punched closed, stepped into the ring for the 14th round effectively blinded. After a vicious 14th round, Ali had taken so much damage he was begging his trainer to cut off his gloves and end the fight. His trainer said no.

Frazier’s trainer, seeing his man was blind, threw in the towel before the 15th-round bell, and Ali won by a TKO before collapsing onto the mat. Ali later said of the bout, “It is the closest to dying I’ve ever been,” and the injuries sustained in the match would forever impact both fighter’s health.

This documentary is told from Frazier’s perspective and highlights how the racial politics of the era heightened the emotion of the bout. Frazier had been a staunch ally of Ali during the years when he was banned from boxing for opposing the Vietnam War. Frazier had lobbied President Nixon to re-

instate Ali, which led to the “Fight of the Century” match between Frazier and Ali. By the time of the Thrilla in Manila, Ali had, in Frazier’s eyes, betrayed their friendship by publicly taunting and humiliating Frazier by calling him a gorilla, Uncle Tom and The White Man’s Champion. When Frazier entered the ring for the Thrilla in Manila, he was enraged, focused and wanting revenge against the man who had humiliated him.

“Eddie Murphy: Delirious” 25th Anniversary Edition -- Remember when Eddie Murphy was funny? Yeah, me neither, so hooray for this two-disc set being released so we can look back at a time when Eddie could make us all bust a gut. The first disc is the original concert, the one with the outrageous Family Barbecue bit, Mr. T Thinks You Lookin’ Good in Them Jeans, the Michael Jackson at the Grammys riff and

that legendary red leather outfit. The second disc contains deleted concert footage, an interview with Eddie reminiscing about the concert and a featurette of interviews of comics (Chris Tucker, Katt Williams, Keenen Ivory Wayans and many others) who were inspired by Murphy to become comedians.

JUNE 1, 2009 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There’s nothing an Aries Lamb likes less than having to tackle a humdrum task. But finding a creative way to do it can make all the difference. A more exciting time awaits you this weekend.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The early part of the week could find you looking to balance your priorities between your family obligations and your career responsibilities. Pressures begin to ease by week’s end.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An associate’s problem could cause unavoidable delays in moving ahead with your joint venture. If so, use the time to look into another project you had previously set aside.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Finishing up a job on time leaves you free to enjoy your weekend without any Taurean guilt pangs. A romantic attitude from an unlikely source could take you by surprise.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although a financial problem could be very close to being resolved in your favor, it’s still a good idea to avoid unnecessary spending for at least a little while longer.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Moving in a new career direction might be seen by some as risky. But if you have both the confidence to see it through and the facts to back you up, it could prove rewarding.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Support for some unwelcome workplace decisions begins to show up, and continues to build, so that by week’s end, the gregarious Goat is as popular as ever.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Holding back on a decision might be difficult, considering how long you’ve waited for this opportunity. But until you’re able to resolve all doubts, it could be the wiser course to take.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. Deciding to attend a social function you might have earlier tried to avoid could turn out to be one of the best decisions you’ve made in a long time.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You still need to move carefully where financial matters are concerned. Better for the Lion to move slowly than pounce on a “promising” prospect that doesn’t keep its promises.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A rejection of an idea you believe in can be upsetting. But don’t let it discourage you.

Get yourself back on track and use what you’ve learned from the experience to try again.

19

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting into a new situation could prove to be a more difficult experience than you expected. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice in coping with some of the more irksome challenges.

J

une is a popular month for weddings. If you’re getting married this month, you have a lot to think about, but after the wedding — well, you’ll have even more to think about. And one of those topics should be your investment strategy. In these days of economic uncertainty, it’s important that you and your spouse make investment decisions today that will help you reach your long-term goals.

Of course, the investment process can seem confusing to just one person, so you might think it will be twice as difficult for the two of you.

But that’s not necessarily so. You can launch an investment strategy that can serve you well throughout your lives together by following these few basic steps: Identify your goals. When you start out, you may have short-term goals, such as saving enough for a down payment on a house. As you move through the years, your goals will become longer-term in nature. For example, if you have children, you might set a goal of helping them pay for college. And you will need to establish a goal of saving for retirement. Your first step toward achieving all these goals is identifying them.

Commit to regular investing.

When you begin your careers, you and your spouse may not have a lot of disposable income, but you still need to commit yourselves to putting aside some money each

(limited time - 6 month purchase minimum)

month — even if it’s only a small amount — for investment purposes.

If you each have an employersponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) plan, contribute as much as you can afford.

Reconcile your investment styles.

You and your spouse may have different orientations toward investing. By nature, you might be an aggressive investor, while your spouse could be more conservative, or vice versa. This divergence does not have to be a problem, but you should communicate your preferences clearly to each other when choosing investments together. If you and your spouse each compromise a bit, you can come up with a joint portfolio that works for both of you. At the same time, when you each have an account, such as a 401(k), you may not want them to look alike by containing duplicate investments.

Instead, consider building portfolios that complement each other and that can help fill in any gaps that exist in your joint investment strategy.

Be co-managers. You probably know many married couples in which one spouse handles all the finances and investments. This isn’t necessarily a good model to follow.

You and your spouse will benefit if you both are familiar with your investment situation and capable of making decisions. Nobody knows what the future will hold, and if one spouse suddenly finds himself or herself in charge of the family finances, with no preparation, it can lead to troubles.

By following these suggestions, you can make long-term investing a rewarding part of your marriage.

And the sooner you get started, the greater those rewards can be.

ermit the Frog said it years ago ”It’s not easy being green.” Though the context has changed, the quest to save our planet by living green has gained a new importance. The concept of ‘going green’ is becoming more main stream for both companies and homeowners.

The trend toward a paperless lifestyle is more than “politically correct”. It is our responsibility to hand a healthy planet to the generations that follow us.

Working with sustainable and reclaimed products, such as wool carpeting, bamboo flooring, and cotton insulation, and by using paints and stains with low VOC’s, will make a difference.

Refurbishing older furniture is another way to maintain a healthy interior environment.

Older furniture was usually made better and harmful chemicals were not used until the 50’s & 60’s. Reclaimed or sustainable wood in some nontoxic finishes with natural fabrics on the upholstery support the creation of eco-friendly homes.

Becoming more aware and making wise choices for innovative solutions in building materials and home furnishings will make for healthy and beautifully designed spaces.

s part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a new tax credit will allow first-time home buyers to claim up to $8,000. Unlike the tax credit plan of last year (which allowed an interest-free tax “loan” of $7,500), this one doesn’t have to be paid back.

If the parties are not in total agreement, the Court will require the parties to mediate their dispute before the Court will hold a trial to settle any differences.

Mediation is a process where a trained third party attempts to help the parties to settle their differences. It is a voluntary process. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties. The parties make their own decisions.

By Rose Fortune Social Security Public Affairs Specialist in Colorado Springs

I

t’s customary to honor the men and women of the Armed Forces each Memorial Day — especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and though Memorial Day has come and gone, it’s always a great time to let members of the military know how much we value what they are doing for us and our country.

Serving the military is nothing new for Social Security. People in the Armed Forces have been covered under Social Security since 1957. Even people in the service before 1957 may receive special credit for some of their service. People in the military are covered for the same survivors, disability and retirement benefits as everyone else who pays into Social Security.

A person’s Social Security benefit depends on earnings, averaged over a lifetime. The same is true for members of the military. Generally, the higher your earnings, the higher your Social Security benefit. Under certain circumstances, special earnings can be credited to one’s military pay record for Social Security purposes. The extra earnings are for periods of active duty or active duty for training and may help someone qualify for Social Security or increase the amount of Social Security benefits.

If you qualify for extra earnings, Social Security will add them to your earnings record when you file for benefits.

For today’s military service members who have been wounded and need to apply for disability benefits, it’s important to know that you will receive expedited processing. The expedited process is for military service members who become disabled while on active duty on or after October 1, 2001, regardless of where the disability begins. Depending on the situation, some family members of military personnel may be able to receive benefits, including dependent children and, in some cases, spouses.

Learn more about it at www.socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. Please pay special attention to the fact sheets available on that website titled Disability BeneďŹ ts for Wounded Warriors and Expediting Disability Applications for Wounded Warriors.

You’ll also ďŹ nd links on the Social Security Wounded Warrior page to useful VA and Medicare websites.

To learn more about Social Security for people who have served in the military, read a copy of our publication, Military Service and Social Security. You can find it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10017. html, or call us at 1-800772-1213 (TTY 1-800325-0778) to ask for a free copy to be mailed to you.

The men and women of the Armed Forces serve us each and every day.

At Social Security, we’re here to serve them too.
