Ramblings on Social Media
M
any of the most successful entrepreneurs rely heavily on social media to market both their personal by: JIMA brand and their Rice, Ph.D. business products and services. And, of course, untold numbers of people are into social media for connecting, sharing and amusement. As the user base continues to grow, as well as the barrage of devices, smartphone applications, FCC regulatory moves, privacy issues, and IPO strategies, it has become increasingly important that we all begin to evaluate what’s happening at the deeper levels of this phenomenon. This is a huge topic that I’m starting to look at. With no overview at hand, I thought I’d share some fragments of information, stuck in my mind like pins across a map, that say “pay attention.� They raise the questions: Are we effectively managing technological advances? What exactly are the benefits of social media and, less obvious, what are its costs? Have we thought enough into the future to know how we should be guiding today’s developments? The verdict is out, but questions are being asked with increasing frequency by analysts.

Super Bowl package raffle By KAREN BOSSICK
T
he kids at the Church of the Big Wood have a Super Deal for you. They’re offering you a chance to go to the Super Bowl in exchange for your help getting them to Zambia. The church youth group is raffling off a Super Bowl Adventure Package that includes roundtrip airfare for two, four nights’ worth of hotel accommodations, two tickets to the big game and entry into a variety of VIP events. What’s more, the winner can choose between this year’s Super
Bowl or the 2012 or 2013 Super Bowl. Tickets are $10 each or 12 for $100. They can be purchased at the church office in person at 100 Saddle Road in Ketchum (208726-5123). Or, they can be purchased at the drawing, which will be held between 6 and 8 p.m. Sunday at McClain’s Pizzeria in Hailey. The money raised from the raffle will help the church’s youth group go to Zambia this summer where they will help out with the church’s longtime mission project—Northrise University and an orphanage. twp
Blame it on spell check? By JEFF BERTZ, PUBLISHER, theweeklypaper
W
ell, if you missed it—and, based on the reaction, not many did—we (theweeklypaper) featured a rather prominent and very misleading headline on our front page last week. Our pride and better judgment prevents us from repeating it verbatim here. Suffice it to say, it inferred that the Valley’s largest employer (Sun Valley Company) was making a very popular winter activity (skiing) available at a very reduced rate (no charge). There, I didn’t come right out and say it! Once the headline hit and the phones starting ringing at the resort, a very calm and very classy Sun Valley Company Director of Marketing (“JS�) called to discuss this slight overstatement with me. Always the gentleman, “JS� suggested a few ways I could help mitigate the
confusion caused by our error. Having me personally answer all of the phones and work all of the ticket venues for the next seven days was not going to fit with my pending vacation schedule, so “JS� and I agreed that I could write an open letter to his guests explaining that this was our faux pas. That accomplished, I went to work on finding out what happened. Turns out spell check won’t tell you that adding a space in the middle of a word, making two new (and viable) words, can be a mistake. A big mistake! On the upside, it was reassuring to find out how many thousands and thousands of avid followers we have reading theweeklypaper each issue. Wow! Anyway, thanks to the great staff at the Sun Valley Company, their guests and all of our awesome readers. Moral of the story: Never trust spell check. twp

Gale LaJoye will bring his heartwarming performance combining mime, clowning, puppetry and theater to The Liberty Theatre for four performances Friday through Sunday. LaJoye, one-time Boss Clown for Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, enchanted local audiences in 2007 with his performance of a man on the streets who creates magic with the discarded objects he finds in a vacant lot. “It’s so simple and gentle. It’s theater at its purest, storytelling at its best,� said John Glenn, a Company of Fools artist who has known LaJoye for 25 years. LaJoye, who spent six years as a clown with the circus, said the piece was inspired by a childhood memory of a man with cerebral palsy. “It’s a very emotional piece that hits people on all different levels,� he says. “It’s pure entertainment, yet it addresses second, we just experienced we things like respect and humancan still sit and be quiet and ity, vulnerability and hope— be enrapt in a good storytellthings of the heart and soul.� ing,� said one teacher who saw Company of Fools sold out five the production with her class student matinees in two days, last time. “The kids found out thanks to teachers who rememthey enjoyed paying attention bered the magic of LaJoye’s and not being bombarded with performances four years ago. special effects.� “In this time of sound bites twp and images changing every

briefs
social media........................... from pg 1 MIT sociology professor Sherry Turkle has written “Alone Together,” a book about the impact of wireless devices and social media on our lives. She concludes, “We’re using inanimate objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we feel alone—constantly on our mobile devices. It’s …a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human connections.” Sharon Jayson, a reporter for USA Today, has called 2010 “The year that technology replaced talking, what with texting at dinner, posting on Facebook from work, or checking e-mail while on a date.” Her point dovetails with the finding that, on average, high school and college students spend no fewer than five hours and as many as 12 hours each day on social media. Certainly, given that a Tweet has an immediate life of seven to nine minutes and Facebook comments immediate lives of one hour, constant connectivity is important. Harrisburg University in Pennsylvania ran a one-week experiment banning the use of social media via personal devices. At the study’s start, 23 percent of surveyed students favored the ban; when it was over, 43 percent did. Thirty-three percent commented that they felt less stressed during the week, 21 percent reported spending more time on homework, and 10 percent said they read online news… with surprising enjoyment. One of the default human animal conditions seems to be “I do it because I can.” Society creates laws because, left to our own, few of us have enough self-control, good judgment, empathy or future vision to constructively guide our present-day behavior. Much as people have eating habits that have run out of control, we now have communications habits that have run out of control. With vast and immediate options to interact with a universe of people, known and unknown, anytime, anywhere, and in any situation, the human animal reaction is “why not do it?” I think it’s time to look more closely at “why do it?” or “how best should we do it?” in order to maximize benefits to us over costs. As with the ballfield in the movie “Field of Dreams,” devices and networks have been built and “they have come” but to what end? Again, as Sharon Jayson reports: “When Gretchen Baxter gets home from work as a New York City book editor, she checks her BlackBerry at the door. ‘I think we are attached to these devices in a way that is not always positive,’ says Baxter, who’d rather focus at home on her husband and 12-year-old daughter. ‘It’s there, and it beckons. That’s human nature. We kind of get crazy sometimes, and we don’t know where it should stop.’” twp Jima Rice holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, and is president of Jigsaw, Inc., a local 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports entrepreneurs, small businesses, and a sustainable economy in the Wood River Valley.

His repertory extends from rolling-and-tumbling slide-guitar boogies to neo-psychedelic jams to reflective, downhome hymns that recall The Band.” For more info call, The Boiler Room - Sun Valley Village, The Only Comedy Club in the Wood River Valley at 622-2148.

Brewery offers music and a flick for $5 this Thursday By KAREN BOSSICK
S
now lovers and music lovers alike have a chance to rock out Thursday when Todd Anders Johnson and Salem pair up with Ketchum filmmaker Mark Oliver’s snowboard film “Tailgate Alaska” at the Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey. The party starts at 8 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge. Salem, a Boulder, Colo., band, is currently on a tour taking the film through such ski towns as Telluride, Colo., Sandpoint, Idaho, Missoula, Mont., and Salt Lake City, Utah. They’re playing their amalgamation of funk, hip-hop, jazz and Afro-Cuban idioms with lyrics that support a socially conscious theme before and after the film. “Tailgate Alaska,” filmed by Oliver, features a number of locals, including Olympic snowboarder Graham Watanabe, as they join riders from around the world tailgating in a remote Alaskan parking lot 30 miles
outside Valdez that was set up just for the purpose of riding Alaska’s big mountains. The film made its Sun Valley debut during Sun Valley Resort’s Film Festival this fall, attracting lots of whoops from the audience. And, just in case you’re wondering, the film features the music of Salem. It’s par for Salem, which plays at ski and snowboard film premieres and at presentations from environmental organizations such as Save Our Winters and The Climate Project. The Risan Project tour they’re on is sponsored by Sun Core Solar, which is marketing the world’s first light-powered cell phone technology and promoting concerts on solar-powered stages. Salem played at Sun Valley’s 48 Straight King of the Mountain. It has also played at ESPN’s Winter X 12 Games, the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix, the U.S. Freeskiing Open and plenty of other winter events. twp

Creatures exhibition continues searchers, provides a look at the By KAREN BOSSICK
T
he Sun Valley Center for the Arts opened its new “Creatures” exhibition with a roar Friday night—the roar of a hundred people crowding into their Ketchum gallery. There they listened as “Godzilla” artist told how he was inspired to new forms of Godzilla art when one of his models fell, knocking its head off. And how Hailey’s own scientific illustrator Karen Jacobsen has, in fact, journeyed to the Japanese island where the original “Godzilla” movie was made in pursuit of her scientific illustrations. Here’s what’s coming up with the exhibit this week: Thursday, Jan. 20: Jay Delaney’s 2006 documentary, “Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie,” about two Bigfoot re-
trials and triumps of life in the Appalachian foothills. 6:30 p.m. at The Center in Ketchum. Free. Saturday, Jan. 22: Mitsuru Brandon will show adults and kids alike how to create origami creatures from 3 to 5 p.m. at The Center in Ketchum as part of Family Day. Free. Sunday, Jan. 23: “Creature from the Black Lagoon” will be shown as part of the Ketchum Cinema Club at 2:30 p.m. at the Magic Lantern Cinema. Tuesday-Thursday, Jan. 25-27: Scientific Illustrator Karen Jacobsen will hold a workshop, “Combining Art and Science: An Introduction to Scientific Illustration” from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. each night. Cost is $200 for Center members and $250 for non-members. There also is a $25 supply fee. twp
Footlight Dance’s cryptid tour By KAREN BOSSICK
T
he Nymphs are donning wings and the Phantom Cats masks as Footlight Dance Centre prepares for its educational tour of dance. The Senior Company has titled its school outreach tour “CREATURES/cryptids” in honor of the new multidisciplinary project being offered by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts that examines fantastical creatures like the Godzilla and real-life creatures like the Yeti crab. “This performance is amazing and really brings out all the hidden creatures inside each and every one of us,” said dancer Tori Poole. The dancers will pair up with On Ensemble, the Southern California taiko drumming group that will perform at the Church of the Big Wood Friday night, for its first performance. That will be at 8:45 a.m. Friday at Wood River High School and will provide dancers with a rare but exciting opportunity to dance to a live group, said choreographer Julie Fox-Jones. The dancers will dance the remainder of the tour to taped music, including the On Ensemble pieces.
Other performances:
1 p.m. Tuesday at Hailey Elementary 9:45 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 27, at Carey School 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27, at Woodside Elementary School 9:45 a.m. Friday, Jan. 28, at The Community School 1:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28, at Bellevue Elementary School 8:15 a.m. Monday, Jan. 31, at Hemingway School 2:10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 4 at the Wood River Middle School
About the Dancers
The group includes 16 dancers from Wood River High School, three from Wood River Middle School and one from The Community School. They will wear shiny scales to portray the Loch Ness Monster and shiny blue/green scarves to evoke the image of Sirens. The group includes five seniors: Dakota Barnes, Mariah Davis, Mia Jefferson, Dylan Peterson and Tori Poole. Barnes, Peterson and Jefferson have been dancing with Footlight Dance since they were four. Footlight dancers have performed for more than 50,000 students over the years as they try to expose students to dance in an educational setting, said Director Hilarie Neely. The dances, which encompass ballet, modern, jazz, tap and hip-hop, were choreographed by Anne Winton, Julie Fox-Jones, Shellrae Garnes, Hilarie Neely, Michele Minailo, Dantzel twp Cherry and Jaime Moore.

cal beat. That’s what newcomers to Japanese by: Karen taiko drumBossick ming might think they’ve gotten themselves into as they watch Japanese taiko drummers create hypnotic melodies by banging on drums of various shapes, sizes and pitches with an athleticism that shines with sweat. On Ensemble, which will perform in Ketchum Friday night, takes it one step further, introducing elements of Tuvan throat singing, electronic beats, hip-hop, string instruments and even some simple bamboo flute playing into the mix. “Modern Drummer” magazine has praised the group for coming up with new ways to apply traditional Japanese drums. They’ve fused so much that one fan quipped they should title their next album “The Raging Asian Caucasion Cajun Persuasion.” “Musically, they will blow you away,” said Kristine Bretall, who booked the four-man group as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ 2010-11 Performing Arts Series. On Ensemble will perform at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood. Tickets are $20 for Center members and $30 for non-members, available at www. sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 208-726-9491.

for school students, thanks to grants from the Western States Arts Federation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Formed in 2002, the group is made up of four members who have illustrious music careers away from On Ensemble, as well. Masata Baba began playing taiko at 6 and has become one of the most respected taiko players in North America. Kristofer Bergstrom is a turntable artist who spent three years in Japan where he studied and performed traditional dance. Shoji Kameda, who tours and records with the Grammy-nominated jazz fusion band Hiroshima, produced On Ensemble’s first album “Dust and Sand,” as well as the original score for “Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story,” which won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival. Kelvin Underwood, who teaches taiko drumming in Ashland, Ore., has played with the

taiko group Ondekoza on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall. Despite their individual projects, the group was energized by reuniting this month on a tour that literally takes them coast to coast from California to Maine and then to Montreal. “When we started On Ensemble, we were just a couple years out of college and full of high hopes and dreams. We weren’t really sure what kind of music we wanted to make. The only two things were we wanted to make music with a small group of dedicated artists and we wanted to explore new musical directions with the taiko,” said Kameda. “Now we’re all involved in many different projects. But we’ve refocused our energies on what brought us together in the beginning and what keeps us moving forward: the need to create.” twp

Between a rock and a hard place Jon rated this movie
A
ron Ralston’s story of his entrapment in a Utah canyon has become the stuff of legend. Especially because of its grisly ending. Now it has come to the big screen as a story that seems virtually unfilmable. But it has been filmed and although it gets an A for effort, it falls short as a great movie. The film is called 127 Hours, which is the amount of time Ralston was stuck deep in a canyon with his arm trapped under a boulder, pinning him in for certain death. Spoiler alert: There is only one way out and that is to saw off the arm that has him trapped. This, of course, is the climax of the film and certainly is not for the squeamish. But the

This week’s Horoscopes: All for one
116 South 2nd Street, Bellevue
Thurs.-Sat., 12-5pm or by appointment • 208.788.2353 www.greenantelope.net
It’s all for one and one for all this week. It will be easier to see and feel the ways in which we are interconnected. Even those with a less developed moral conscience, such as small children and those who behave like them, will feel great empathy for the same people and situations that didn’t make an impact last week. Exploring Aquarius, Mars paves the way for the sun’s entrance into this altruistic realm on Thursday. ARIES (March 21-April 19). It may feel like you are toiling and sweating and still not getting the results you want. Give yourself a pat on the back anyway. You put in the work. It would amaze you how many people don’t do this. Keep showing up and learning every day. You’ll get your breakthrough in the weeks to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When a statement makes you squirm with discomfort or immediately jump to defend yourself, usually it’s a sign that it’s the kind of truth that will set you free. You’re one of the rare individuals who actually wants to know this kind of truth, and it comes from the mouth of a Scorpio this week. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll break a bad habit or adopt a good one. It happens slowly. The tortoise takes one small, slow step at a time and still wins the race. Be as unhurried and persistent as that little guy. Don’t worry about how you’re doing or push yourself unnecessarily. You will get to the finish line at the perfect time. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been changed for the better by a relationship, and not because it went well. The disappointing things about that union are precisely what have enabled you to appreciate yourself and others and go on to thrive. This week, things go right for you in love because you apply the lessons of your past. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve made your plans, confirmed with the other people involved and done everything in your power to make it happen the way you imagined. Still, the unpredictable will happen to mix things up and, ultimately, put a smile on your face. You’ll be laughing for years to come about the way things unfold this week. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Here’s a paradox: Your organized and methodical nature makes it possible for you to be spontaneous. For instance, unlike some people, you don’t need an hour’s notice to leave the house. You have a system, and you’re ready in a flash. This week, you’ll hone your methods and allow for even greater spontaneity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As you continue along your path, there are certain landmarks that look suspiciously familiar to you. Yes, you have passed this way before. But that doesn’t mean you’re lost or regressing. The cycle repeats -- a chance for
you to make a different choice from the one you made the last time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Venturing into unfamiliar territory will make you feel exposed. This is extremely positive for you, as it teaches you who you are underneath the camouflage of dressing, talking and acting in a particular manner. Camouflage only works in the particular surrounding into which it was designed to blend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want optimum health, and you realize it’s not something that magically occurs -- you have to create it through action. The wrong people around you can dampen your motivation. So whenever possible, surround yourself with people whose goals are similar to yours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have emotional work to do, and you’re in just the right mood to take it on now. It’s a good thing you waited. If you had started any earlier, this would have been a drawn-out process. You’ll say what you need to say, hear what you need to hear and get everything handled by the end of the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A certain project is getting tedious, but you know better than to quit before the job is finished. That would be a sure way to disappoint your fans! Instead of pressing on in a joyless way, you’ll dig in and find new purpose. You’ll apply your creativity and make a game out of this. You’ll bring the fun back. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Draw some boundaries to contain some of your sprawling life. Even though you are capable of juggling 10 objectives at once, you’re not likely to smile much in the process. So instead, narrow your options so that you can give your top priorities the best of your attention. Your smile will return full force. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Your relationships are the true gold in your life, and this year the value increases. You treat your loved ones like royalty, and they adore you. There’s a financial breakthrough in six weeks. Work on thinking in strictly positive terms about your work. March brings a chance to leap into a new arena. You’ll excel when you express yourself in April, perhaps in front of an audience. Political change has a good effect on your fortunes in July. You’ll be rewarded for a good deed. twp

INL frustrates Iranian nuclear program BY KAREN BOSSICK
he Idaho Nuclear Laboratory helped the United States and Israel test a computer worm that appears to have wiped out a fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, helping to set Iran’s ability to make Nuclear arms back by at least a few years, according to a report in The New York Times. The Idaho company worked with the German company Siemens to identify the vulnerabilities of computer controllers that the company sells—computer controllers that are present in Iran’s enrichment facilities. No word on whether this will put Idaho on the map with terrorist groups. twp

A swirling vortex
W
ant another good reason to reduce, reuse and recycle? Look no further than the Pacific Trash Vortex. The Pacific Trash Vortex is a swirling gyre of litter, nearly the size of the Continental U.S. Through waterways, this waste finds its way to the North Pacific Ocean where currents sweep it into a swirling vortex known as the North Pacific Gyre. Currents then move this floating debris toward the center of the gyre, trapping it. Ninety percent of this vortex is made up of plastics. These plastics often act as ‘chemical sponges,’ absorbing and concentrating organic pollutants. Therefore, as plastic photodegrades into smaller toxic particles, it is consumed by organisms. Over a million sea birds and thousands of marine mammals and sea turtles die from waterborne plastics every year. One hundred million tons of plastic are produced each year; however, less than 5 percent of it is recycled and 10 percent of it ends up in the oceans. It is expensive and difficult to clean up this atrocious disaster; we can start by disposing of our waste responsibly now—by recycling it. We can reduce our consumption of unnecessary plastic materials and instead encourage the use of biodegradable materials or, better yet, those that can be reused over and over again. And, of course, we can continue to encourage discussion and educate others about critical issues like the Pacific Trash Vortex. Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

briefs Play reading of ‘The Last Thoughts of Gino Merli’ at nexStage, Thursday The nexStage Theatre will present a reading of Tom Flannery’s play “The Last Thoughts of Gino Merli” on Thursday January 20th at 7:00 pm. as part of their 2011 season of free play readings. The reading is a 50-minute monologue, performed by local resident and actor, J.D. Ryan. The play tells the remarkable story of Gino Merli, a World War II veteran and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, whose life truly reflected the work ethic, spirituality and toughness of the people who serve and protect our country. Ryan says about this reading: “ We send people to fight, and we have seen films about their lives, but rarely have any of their personal stories been told in the form of a play, in
the intimate setting of live theater.’ Over 18,000 students, teachers and members of the general public have seen the production since its premiere in Scranton, Ohio. Flannery’s play is not just a tribute to Gino Merli, but a tribute to all the men and women who have put on the uniform of our country, whether it be in war or peacetime and who have put themselves in harm’s way. Tom Brokaw said that Gino Merli was one of the inspirations for his book “The Greatest Generation”. Complimentary cookies and drinks will be served. For more information, call the nexStage, at 726-9124. The theatre is located at 120 Main Street, Ketchum.

hemingway............................................................................ from pg 1 an amazing place. It’s a hidden spot and that’s the beauty of it. The film crew was impressed. They must have said ‘Amazing’ a million times. ‘Amazing. It’s amazing.’ ” Diehl, who has worked for Sun Valley photographer David Stoecklein and L.L. Bean on its fashion shoots, hired local photographer Matthew Hayes to work as one of the assistants to photographer Alasdair McLellan from London. She found locations for the shoots and props to match. Then she oversaw the arrival of 12 huge crates of clothes, each the size of small closets. And she made sure the crew of 12—all from Britain—had plenty of the Earl Grey tea they requested during the three-day shoot. “They fell in love with the tomato bisque soup here, as well,” said Diehl. Despite her lineage, Dree Hemingway didn’t act privileged during the May shoot, which
Hemingway also appeared to do the Sun Valley Chamber of Commerce proud, as well. “This is where I’m from. I’m an Idaho girl and I love it—even though I doubt many people could identify it on a map,” she is quoted as saying. “Everywhere you look you see the Sawtooth Mountains and mile upon mile of pine trees.” And a few pages later: “It was only while doing this shoot that I realized how much Idaho means to me.” twp

What DREE Said
TWP: Why did you choose this recipe? KE: My family loves this pasta. I dish my kids’ plates first, then add more Cajun Seasoning for me and my husband, as we like it a bit spicier! It’s very simple and fast to make, especially if you use already roasted chicken from the grocery store. TWP: How did you get interested in cooking? KE: When I got married, I had to get interested because my husband doesn’t cook a lick! I found that I enjoy creating tasty dishes for dinner. TWP: How long have you lived in the Wood River Valley? KE: I was born in Sun Valley and grew up in Hailey (you might know my mother, Susan Littlefield). I moved to Boise about 10 years ago to get out of the Valley, as it was too small and too expensive for a young girl to live in. TWP: What do you like about the Valley? KE: I like going back to see the changes and, boy, has it changed since I lived there! I also like visiting and going into stores and restaurants and looking around for people I recognize. TWP: Anything else? KE: I love Idaho and I would absolutely never live anywhere else but this state!! Oh… and, GO BRONCOS!!! (LOL!) twp

What Dree Hemingway told “British Vogue” readers: “I think people often assume that because I’m related to Ernest Hemingway I’ve inherited all of his genes. I wish I instinctively loved all the hunting, fishing and shooting. But it’s too much to expect I’ll just sit down and write a genius book.” “Idaho’s also got an old Hollywood glamour thing going on with the pishyposhy grandmas in their old Chanel suits.”

Fast Facts Falling Rock
Dear Classified Guys, Before we bought our house two years ago, the previous owner told us the asphalt roof shingles would last another ten years. The newly formed puddle in my daughter's bedroom begs to differ with him. I've gotten three quotes from roofers who advertise in the classifieds, each varying by $3000 in cost. I need to know what to look for in an estimate. If I simply go for the cheapest, will I end up with a cheap roof to match?
• • • Cash: It sounds like your daughter should wear a swimsuit to bed instead of pajamas. Carry: It's a rather unfortunate circumstance. But considering your daughter needs an umbrella for bedtime, you may want to act quickly. A typical roofing job would consist of removing the old shingles and disposing of them, replacing any weak or rotted sheathing, possibly over your daughter's bedroom, and installing the new roof. Cash: It's likely the estimates are varying because the roofers are quoting a different quality of supplies or different amounts of work. Some may be simply

adding new shingles over the old ones. Other contractors may be removing the old shingles first. Carry: Have each contractor give you a summary of the work they plan on doing. Did they quote on replacing rotted sheathing or are they giving you an estimate based on only covering the roof with the new shingles? Cash: Also have the contractor break down the estimate into material and labor costs. You'll find that labor cost is considerably more than the material, but that's typical. Carry: The material costs could vary depending on the quality of shingle your contractor is using.
Reader Humor Up on the Roof
If you've ever cleaned out your gutters, you'd find the bottom is covered with small stone pebbles. They didn't just fall from the sky. They come from a process known as granule loss. Over time the fiberglass matt of asphalt shingles break down when exposed to ultraviolet light. This causes the small granular stones to become dislodged during rain, snow or windstorms. These pebbles then wash down into your gutters.
Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze
Look for the longest warranty shingle you can afford. Since labor is the largest part of the cost, you don't want to be replacing your roof again anytime soon. Cash: Each company can vary dramatically on labor costs based on their overhead and estimated time for the job. Carry: Verify that each company carries liability insurance and call their references. Then select the one who gives you quality materials and a complete job for the best price. Cash: And in the meantime, you can always get your daughter one of those canopy beds to keep her dry during a rainstorm!
Moo-ving Up
Tired of the cost and hassle of replacing your roof? Maybe you'd like to mow it every week instead. Sod was the main type of roofing in the plains of the mid-west in the early 18th century and is still used today. It acts as a great insulator, but doesn't necessarily keep out all the rain. The common complaint of a sod roof was the amount of leaks. While many towns and insurance companies don't consider it an acceptable roofing material, some people who build energy-efficient homes still may use this type of material. But it makes you ask, how do they get the lawnmower on the roof? •

who
I own a roofing company and work with a crew of four guys. Every summer I hire a young college kid to help with the clean-up while we're on the roof. My last employee was great. He usually cleaned up the grounds before the guys were even done with the job. One day while we were on the roof, I yelled down to him, "If you clean up all the tools, you can go home early." The kid went straight to work and 10 minutes later I saw his car go down the driveway. That's when one of my guys came over the roof peak and said, "The kid did a great job. There's just one problem." "What's that?" I asked. He smirked back, " He put away all the ladders!" (Thanks to Rusty's Roofing)
