Fun starts Saturday By KAREN BOSSICK

s the saying goes, girls just want to have fun. And there’s plenty of fun to be had Saturday when Muffy Ritz and the VAMPS host the Inga-Lami/Farcabinder at Quigley Nordic near Wood River High School. The morning of fun combines fun and games with libations, appetizers and raffle prizes. And proceeds go to The Advocates and The Kids Bike Fund. The Inga-Lami is an allwomen’s ski tour inspired by the Norwegian tale of Queen Mother Inga who gave her baby prince to Birkebeiner warriors to carry to safety on skis over the rugged

mountains of Norway during a Norwegian civil war. Participants are encouraged to dress in Norwegian costume, whether it be knee-high socks and Norwegian sweaters or even as Viking ships as some participants have done in the past. They will ski an easy loop followed by fun and games. They will be given raffle tickets for every loop they ski—the more raffle tickets they collect, the more they can enter into a drawing for prizes. The Inga-Lami will be followed by the Farcabinder—crazy, zany games on skis and snow involving hula hoops and more. Registration for the Inga-Lami will be held from 9:30 to 10:30

a.m. at the Quigley Nordic yurt. The Inga-Lami starts at 11. Registration for the Farcabinder will be held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the yurt. It starts at noon. Refreshments, libations, appetizers and raffle prizes donated by the VAMPS and their coaches will start at 1 p.m. Wiseguy Pizza and beer will also be available for sale with the proceeds going to The Kids Bike Fund. Cost is $15 for one event or $20 for both. Other sponsors are the Blaine County Recreation District, Smith Optics, Zenergy, Hawley Graphics and Invisible Fence.

Kelly Martin and Lucy Bourret went all out in their costumes for one Inga-Lami.

Free talk on Wolverines in the Rockies

On Friday, Feb. 25, get a glimpse into the lives of these mysterious, cold-loving creatures and learn how they survive the most rugged terrain on Earth. Join us for Wolverine Ecology and Conservation in the Rockies with Jason Wilmot, the executive director of Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative. Jason studied wolverines for several years in Glacier National Park and the Greater Yellowstone Area. He will present his research and show never-before-captured footage from the award-winning PBS NATURE documentary, Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom. In December, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that wolverines warranted protection under

the Endangered Species Act; however, there are other species with greater priority, so the listing is delayed indefinitely. Fewer than 500 wolverines live in the lower 48. In the West, only about 35 wolverines are actively breeding. Wolverines dig dens—at least 8 feet deep—in the snow to raise their kits. As snowpack declines, so does good denning habitat. This is a free Idaho Conservation League and Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative event at The Community Library in Ketchum at 6 p.m., this Friday, Feb. 25. On Saturday, Feb. 26, Jason Wilmot will lead a free tracking field outing. Please call the Idaho Conservation League for details: 726-7485

Workshops on healthier foods, finances Save money, eat better, and improve your household budget with this educational workshop series presented by The Hunger Coalition. Free and open to the public, these workshops focus on money-saving ways to improve your family’s physical and financial health. Beginning Feb. 28, The Hunger Coalition embarks on a new series of classes and workshops designed to introduce simple ideas and techniques on everyday subjects like smart shopping, living on a budget, and cooking with healthier foods. From empowerment services and volunteer opportunities to providing access to community resources, The Hunger Coalition actively assists in a client’s transition out of food insecurity into a place of greater self-sufficiency. These new educational workshops are designed to empower clients and community members alike. The first workshop, “Meal Planning

on a Budget,” offers tips on creating a low-budget grocery list based on a five-day meal plan; shares secrets about coupon clipping; and suggests new dishes for feeding your hungry family with limited ingredients. Held at the La Alianza classroom at the Community Campus in Hailey, this inaugural class runs from 3 to 4:15 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 28. Looking ahead, the “Creative Leftovers” workshop takes place on Tuesday, March 29 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the St. Charles Souper Supper kitchen in Hailey. Look for information on upcoming workshops for April and May. Specific dates, times and locations to be announced. Whether you want to plant vegetables, put your family on a budget or increase your collection of recipes, all community members are invited to attend. Call Hallie Reikowsky at 7880121 to reserve your space now, as space is limited!

Anam Thubten talks on self-realization On Thursday, March 3 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Sun Valley, Anam Thubten will give a public talk. Although the cost is $15 at the door, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. “I believe that everyone is capable of realizing our true nature which is already perfect. Only then can we be truly happy and become a blessing to others. Let’s allow ourselves to go beyond all resistance and experience

the inexpressible nature of our true being.” —Anam Thubten How do we unburden ourselves from mental habits that cause unnecessary suffering and realize our natural state, which is the inner dimension of peace, joy and love? Anam Thubten invites everyone to experience this spiritual transformation through meditation practice and the timeless teachings of the Buddha. For more info: 720-5138.

Volunteer training for the Crisis Hotline Participation in the training is free of charge, and it is open to anyone interested in developing listening skills, including listening to youth, and learning about the dynamics of crises, such as family violence, alcoholism, codependency, depression, child abuse and neglect, mental illness, domestic violence, suicide and more. The sessions will be given by professional health care specialists. Those involved in the training will also find out about the many organizations within our community that offer ser-

vices and support, such as The Advocates, St. Luke’s Center for Community Health, NAMI, Hospice, 911, Red Cross, and many more. Volunteers are needed—it is a great way to give back to your community! The classes run from March 3 to March 29, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at Calvary Bible Church, 102 Coyote Bluff Dr., one mile north of Hailey. Please call the business office of the Crisis Hotline at 788-0735 to sign up.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ordan Nevins, Wood River High School senior, likes to call the art that is his passion to be that of an ‘experimenter.’ “I by: JONathan like to see what KANE there is different to do with my work rather than just paint. I prefer to do mixed media and picking up new items and putting them together in a way that changes the way I see things. It can be a combination of any sort of material. Lately, I’ve been working with papier-maché made from collaging antique paper and then covering it with oil paint. There are so many different ways to combine things and I’m never fully sure how it will come out until it’s done.” For his senior project, Nevins has put together a portfolio of twenty pieces of art that he will be using to apply to art schools. He is also taking the collection and will be having his first show opening this Friday at the Esmeralda Gordon Gallery in Ketchum. “I’m pretty excited, especially at being at such a great gallery.

Fans rock basketball tourney By KAREN BOSSICK

he Wood River girls basketball team stole the show at the Class 4 state championships last week at the Idaho Center in Nampa, according to a sportswriter in the Twin Falls Times-News. “Between the green and white clad ‘super fans,’ the rockin’ drums corps, an 11-year-old Elliott Portillo singing the National Anthem in front of hundreds of fans at the Idaho Center and, oh yea, a secondplace finish from the Wolverines, the folks from Hailey came and rocked the state tournament in only the second appearance in the school’s 36-year history,” reported Stephen Meyers. Before last week, Meyers added, no one knew who this gang of green and white was. Even the Middleton players were overheard to say they had no idea who this group of girls was. “They didn’t know where we came from,” said Wood River junior Haylee Thompson. The fans’ efforts earned Wood River the sportsmanship award from the Idaho High School Activities Association. “This community has supported us so much,” noted point guard Kaitana Martinez. twp

But the changing climate poses as much risk to Sun Valley residents as it does to the 150 million people of Bangladesh who will likely have to leave their home, warned those on the screen as well as the filmmakers on the stage. Climate change represents a national security issue as climate refugees forced to leave their home could be recruited as terrorists. “We’re at the point now where the challenge is not to save the planet but to save civilization— and that’s not a spectator sport,” those attending the Fourth Annual Family of Women Film Festival, founded by Ketchum resident Peggy Goldwyn, were told. “We’re looking at a tsunami rolling toward mankind if we don’t get ahead of it in the next several years,” said Michael Nash, who made the film “Climate Refugees.” Nash, who earlier made the film “Fuel,” about alternative energy, said he was inspired to travel through 47 countries in search of climate refugees after he read a United Nations report that said there are currently 25 million climate refugees in the world—more than all the refugees fleeing political and religious persecution. Much of the problem can be attributed to water, he said. Some areas in China, for instance, are running out of water. Others, like the Cateret Islands, have too much—the rising sea flooding their farmlands, making it impossible for them to grow food. Experts estimate the number of climate refugees in the world could grow to at least 150 million and maybe as much as a billion in the next four decades, Nash said. And while nations have a longstanding policy of taking in war refugees, no one knows quite what to do with

The 90-minute film featured interviews with politicians like Newt Gingrich and John Kerry and, more poignantly, unnamed women like a mother in Bangladesh who lamented that she was unable to save her child in raging floodwaters. “You look into the eyes of these mothers and children who believe they’ve done something wrong and that God is punishing them for it,” Nash said. Nash says he hopes to follow this film up with one titled “Fix” that will tell how to fix the problem. “ ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ focused on the causes. ‘Climate Refugees’ focuses on the effects. ‘Fix’ will show that the technology is there but we need to bring big business to the table.” Room for Improvement The status of women is improving across the world. But there’s still plenty of room for improvement—just look at Egypt, where 83 percent of the women report they’ve been sexually abused. So says Robert Engelman, vice-president of programs at the Worldwatch Institute. Engelman spoke several times during the Family of Women Film Festival this past weekend. Women have caught up with men educationally in most countries, including the United States, where there are more

female graduates than men, Engelman said. Where women are “really behind” is political participation. The ability to heal the earth is constrained by the fact that men and women aren’t relating to one another properly, Engelman said. It used to be that agricultural extension agents targeted men in Third World countries, when it was their wives who worked in the fields, Engelman noted. Women work together and support each other, paying the loans they take out for their projects 100 percent. Men pay back 25 percent on average. That’s true of women working at the most basic level in African countries and with women CEOs of American firms, he added— companies with women CEOs or a lot of women on board fared better during America’s latest recession than those headed by men. twp

‘Y’ Yoga Center benefit art show

unique pairing of art and architecture was used this week to launch the by: Karen fundraising Bossick drive for a new yoga and Pilates center at the Wood River Community Y. Gallery DeNovo owner Robin Reiners trotted an array of sculptures and large-scale paintings by Quim Bove and other artists into an award-winning home designed by Susan Desko in the Lake Creek area north of Ketchum. And Theresa Castellano-Wood, Leslie Silva, Chris Boskin, Ali Long and Pirie Grossman concocted a variety of hors d’oeuvres as they co-hosted Saturday and Sunday’s Bending over Backwards cocktail party and brunch. “We have a $250,000 challenge grant and we raised at least $55,000 in the first two days,” said Castellano-Wood. The money will go toward the remodeling and repurposing of a 5,000-square-foot area in the Y. Part of the area had been used by the Lee Pesky Learning Center, which vacated it for quarters that would offer its clients more anonymity. The place, which will be designed by Desko, will feature yoga and Pilates studios with a fireside area and a fountain alcove. The Y hopes to open it by winter solstice 2011. It is directed toward a number of yoga aficionados. Some 16 million Americans now practice yoga—72 percent of them women. Americans spent $5.7 billion a year on yoga classes and products this past year—up 87 percent since 2004. “We will call it The Spirit Center—a place where yoga and Pilates teachers from all over the Valley can come together to nourish body, mind and spirit,” said Castellano-Wood. “It’ll be similar to what we had at The Sacred Cow where we can have

workshops and guest speakers.” “What’s important for me is that under the Y’s open-door policy (sliding-scale fees designed to allow everyone to become a member), yoga and Pilates will be accessible to everyone,” said Silva. On Sunday, the sun streamed through the large picture windows of the contemporary threestory home built of reclaimed wood cut to resemble slate. Desko flitted from room to room, taking pictures of the contemporary art hanging on the walls of the home while guests sipped mimosas, nibbled on fruit parfaits, perused clothing and yoga mats offered at a Lululemon trunk show and ogled the fresh snow blanketing Griffin Butte visible from the home. Reiners said the showing of art in a house like the one Desko designed is a new one for her. She is giving 10 percent of sales to the building of the center. “We created a theme of movement and energy, and the artwork fits perfectly,” she said. “This gives us the opportunity to showcase what we believe in. We’re saying: Just dream with us.” Tours of the home and artwork will be offered by appointment

Lost without an identity Jon rated this movie

n the new thriller Unknown, leading man Liam Neeson is on the run. And perhaps it’s understandable, considering he’s lost his identity and a variety of people are trying to kill him. In a world very reminiscent of a Philip K. Dick sci-fi thriller, Unknown deals with the sticky problem of waking up and no one knows who you are. Neeson plays a scientist traveling to Berlin to make the keynote speech at a conference with his wife, January Jones from Madmen. Before checking in at the hotel, he loses his

movie review

This week’s Horoscopes: three major conjunctions align Sunday The week starts with three major conjunctions that align on Sunday. The planetary ballet begins as Mercury conjuncts Mars and then switches partners to align with Neptune. Finally, Neptune and Mars conjunct. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Something will happen to shake your certainty about what is yours, but this is a good thing. There is very little in this life that a person can actually own. Relationships are particularly tricky -they must continually be built. If you believe that something can be taken away from you, you will appreciate it more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s in your nature to motivate and encourage. You could not guess how energizing your support can be. You’ll give enthusiastic appreciation to someone who craves this kind of acknowledgement from you. It starts a ripple of good will. The result will be far more extensive than you thought. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be receiving fantastic information about how to take your career to the next level. Your memory is good, but to retain all of the wisdom and tips you will learn this week, you will need to write as much of it down as possible. There will be an unexpected connection with an old friend at the end of the week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Consider whether the current time constraints are really necessary. Take off the pressure. Stroll through life instead of running around. Give yourself more hours to play around with ideas. Try things on before you buy them. Take relationships at a leisurely pace. This week will be 10 times more fun than last week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Overreacting will be a danger. This is especially easy to do around children or those who behave in unpredictable and socially awkward ways. Calm yourself so that you don’t get too mad. With most of these encounters, it’s better not to take issue. Often, the most graceful move is to shrug your shoulders and move on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be torn between being practical or carrying on with an impossible dream. You’re better off holding on to hope. This is not because everything you want will happen, but because your life will be all the more amazing because you dare to reach higher. Newsflash: People without dreams are mighty boring! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You want to do well at a task, and you have a strong desire to succeed. That’s usually a plus. However, this week it’s creating more pressure and anxiety than you need. Try to see life from the long view. Making a consistent effort will bring you more luck and benefits than any single life event could. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are some things you simply must find in yourself. You cannot fill a void in another person, and another person can’t do that for you, either. You know this to be true, and that’s why you choose to simply have fun with your loved ones, expecting them only to be themselves. Your point of view will be contagious! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your social life keeps getting more colorful. You will mix with an array of personalities this week. You are intent on keeping a good mood going, even if

that means letting someone else hog the spotlight or be right even when you know they’re wrong. Your gracious manner earns love and respect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The reason you have so many interesting things to talk about this week is because you are living a truly interesting life, although you may not readily think this because you are too close to the subject. Write about some of your daily happenings. It will help you get some objectivity and realize how wonderful you are. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will participate in a project that involves many people and has a large number of moving parts. At first, you will feel as though you don’t have much to contribute, but try anyhow. In the end, you will be a major part of the action. You will click especially well with a fellow air sign: Aquarius, Gemini or Libra. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your mind is like a windmill in a hurricane. It will be challenging to communicate due to the sheer volume of ideas running through your head. You may need to consciously slow down your speech in order to be understood. Write down your ideas, especially on Thursday, when you’ll be downright brilliant. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You will simplify your life this year, and as a result, you’ll have the energy, money and time to accomplish something you’ve always wanted to do. The next three months bring new friends into your world. In March, you’ll have many laughs and a great time with a kindred spirit. April is your chance to invest in your future.

Just another musical By KAREN BOSSICK

ouisa May Alcott gets a remake. So does Shakespeare and Charles Dickens in the Wood River High School Drama Department’s upcoming Spring Musical, which opens tonight. “Just Another High School Musical!!!” features a group of high school actors who have to fend for themselves on opening night after their drama teacher abandons them because they’ve failed to put their shoulder to the plow. The result: a show of physical comedy, gags and satirical rewritings from Shakespeare’s “Life is Like a Snow Globe” to Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol Rap.” Throughout, the students are cognizant of the audience

in front of them. They open the show with the song “We Apologize in Advance.” And they go to intermission singing “This means our show is more than halfway done. Maybe Act Two will be better than Act One.” The musical stars Sage Howe, David Fox, Crystal Millspaugh, Jonnie Pedersen, Sio Navarrete, Drake Arial, Fischer Lewis, Katie Walton, Claire Bowman, Cat Duder and Becca Boushele. Director is Karl Nordstrom; music director, Rebecca Martin; choreographer, Julie Fox-Jones; vocal coach, Janis Walton; costume designer, Laurie Lindsey; and pianist, Dorinda Rendahl. The musical will take place at 7 p.m. tonight through Saturday at the Community Campus auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. twp

Backpacks double as life vests go beyond borders By KAREN BOSSICK

oing to school in Vietnam often means crossing rivers—and many schoolchildren drown doing so. But a Vietnamese women is now making backpacks that double as life vests—and she’s doing it on sewing machines purchased with a grant from a philanthropic program administered by a Sun Valley couple. Linn Kincannon, who administers Thriive with the help of her husband Eric Schultz, talked about the program, which helps small businesses in Vietnam, the West Bank, Kenya and Nicaragua, at a meeting last Tuesday of the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation. More than a hundred people crowded into the Valley Club to learn how they could exercise their philanthropy “beyond the borders.” The experts included their neighbors—people like Dr. Bonni Curran, who has worked as an international health volunteer in Uganda, India, Bhutan and Cambodia. Kincannon described how Thriive provides “Thriive capital” for businesses that are too small for commercial bank loans. The businesses are not too small to have a pay it forward impact, she added. A garment company in Hanoi, for instance, was able to expand its workforce from 30 to 180 and begin exporting to American Eagle Outfitters with the money it got from Thriive. The company pays their employees 23 percent more than the industry average. And it’s provided free clothing to nearly 6,000 orphans and elderly, in addition to providing job training courses for unskilled rural workers. Peggy Goldwyn, who is a board member of Americans for UNFPA and the U.N. Population Fund, said some of the best organizations doing philanthropic

work overseas are faith-based organizations, such as World Vision. She also praised the United Nations, recounting how U.N. workers knew immediately what was needed—sanitary napkins-when women declined to seek aid following the tsunami that devastated coastal cities along the Indian Ocean in 2004. “If there’s a crisis, you want the United Nations there,” she said. “They have people who speak the language, they have a command center—they are there at the country’s invitation…” Trevor Patzer described how his Little Sisters Fund educates Nepali girls who would otherwise be at risk for sex trafficking. “Education is the universal key to progress, he said. “It changes lives.” His mother, Midge Patzer, teared up as she recounted how a Nepali girl that she sponsored told her, “When people ask me where my mother is, I tell them she lives in the U.S. of America.” And Marcia Liebich described how she and her husband Don have helped fund an orphanage and medical clinic in Tanzania and built Habitat homes and a water tower in Jordan, among a myriad of other projects. “What can one person do? I realized quickly there’s a lot,” she said. Gale Elkins, who emceed the event, said the gathering struck a chord with members. “I’ve heard more good comments about this than anything we’ve done,” she said. Barbara Thrasher, co-founder of the Charitable Foundation, echoed her sentiments: “Someone somewhere will get money given to them because of this event and their lives will be changed. I think there will be many miracles as a result of this.” twp

Have a plan for your employees? By PATRICK BUCHANAN State FarmÂŽ Agent

f you are self-employed or the owner of a small business, you probably understand the difficulties in finding and keeping qualified employees. There are many factors that an employee will consider when deciding where to work. One that may be overlooked is the availability of a tax-qualified retirement plan. According to a recent survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), 25 percent of small business owners stated the most important reason for offering a retirement plan was recruiting and retaining employees. Another 19 percent said the positive effect on employee attitude and performance was the most important reason they offered a plan. The Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) and Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) plans are two tax-qualified plans available to employers. If a plan is considered tax-qualified, contributions are not subject to current federal income tax; all earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawn; and taxes are payable by the participant when benefits are actually received, generally at retirement when the participant may be in a lower tax bracket and entitled to an additional standard deduction at age 65. Unfortunately, a number of employers are unaware of the tax-qualified retirement plans

Reflections:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If all we focus on in school is the test, we will have a generation of children who know nothing but how to take a test.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Muriel Summers, principal of A.B. Combs Elementary, the school that initiated The Leader in Me program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, they have made an impact on my life. They change the way a person lives!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bodie Bennett, sixth-grader at Carey â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students talk about it. The language that they use to discuss their differences focuses on the habits. Sometimes we get in a situation in a contest and someone will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a win-win.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Or one student will tell another, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very proactive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I am amazed how they fit into everything at school or at home.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Lee Cook, health and physical education teacher at Carey â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see the students thinking proactively and doing things along the lines of putting first things first. A good example of this was at the ski hill a couple of weeks ago. We made it to the hill 30 minutes faster than we ever have in the past and it was because the kids were helping each other, taking time to help someone with their boots or find their poles. The kids were just helping each other and being proactive and taking care of themselves. It is a great program.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ron Martinez, fifth-grade teacher at Carey â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, it has made a difference. I have seen some insane changes in the boys in our class. They do their homework; they take it on the bus to the games and do it.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Lilly Rivera, ninth-grader at Carey

What are the 7 habits

Habit 1: Be proactive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am free to choose and am responsible for my choices.â&#x20AC;? Use language, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at our alternatives,â&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing we can do.â&#x20AC;? Or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can choose a different approach,â&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way I am.â&#x20AC;? Habit 2: Have a vision. Begin with the end in mind, a clear definition of desired results and criteria for deciding what is or isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t important. Write a personal mission statement. Habit 3: Put first things first. Eliminate the unimportant. Put the compass before the clock because where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headed is more important than how fast youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there. Habit 4: Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;win-win,â&#x20AC;? the habit of mutual benefit. Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Habit 6: Synergize. Press for creative cooperation, knowing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Think: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together we can create a better way.â&#x20AC;? Habit 7: Sharpen the saw. Renew self in body, mind, heart and soul. Make contributions to others. Find out more at Coveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free talk on Thursday at the Community Library in Ketchum.

Sudoku: Gold

Know your risk By DR. MARIA MARICICH

ost of us know at least several women who have suffered with breast cancer or maybe even died as a result. According to the CDC, breast cancer is the second most common cause of death in women. In 2010, an estimated 207,090 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to occur in women. Men need to be vigilant, too, as 1,970 new cases will occur in men. Why are some people more susceptible? Researchers at Rockefeller University have found that the body metabolizes estrogens into several different forms that can impact cancer development. One form, 2-hydroxyestrone, tends to inhibit cancer growth while another, 16alpha-hydroxyestrone, actually encourages tumor development. A woman’s biochemical individuality determines how much of each form is produced. Studies have shown that measuring the ratio of these two forms of estrogen provides an important indication of future risk for development of breast cancer. The studies also show that the risk can be modified using botanicals, diet and lifestyle. The test is a simple urine test that can be collected in the comfort of your own home and then sent to a lab to determine if you have signs of risk of estro-

gen-sensitive cancers; whether breast, uterine, cervical, or prostate. The cost for the test is about $160. Reduce your risk In many women, the primary cause of a low 2:16 ratio is dietary. A recent study shows that photochemicals from cruciferous vegetables, such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and diindolylmethane (DIM), can decrease the flux of estrogens converting to “bad” estrogen. By increasing the amount of cruciferous vegetables and making other small changes, you can change your ratio. Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Dietary and supplement additions recommended are ground flax seeds, soy isoflavones, fish oils (omega-3 fatty acids) as well as I3C and DIM mentioned above. Lifestyle modifications to consider are reduce coffee consumption, eliminate smoking, lower elevated body mass index (BMI), and exercise regularly. For more info or to purchase supplements, call Dr. Maria at 726-6010. twp

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, When my brother joined the military to serve overseas, he left me with his pet Boa constrictor. At first it was a cute novelty, but now the thing eats 2 rats per week and has grown to over 4 feet long. Ironically, my neighbor's cat is missing as well, but nobody can prove that's related! I have to find this thing a new home and was thinking of trying the classifieds. What's the best way to find this Boa a new home? Any ideas on what I should tell my brother when he gets home?

•

Carry: Sounds like a healthy

snake. Just make sure it's not purring. Otherwise, you may have found your neighbors cat. Cash: A Boa that measures almost four feet long and eats two rats a week is typically about two years old. At this age he is still manageable. But if you think he's big now, just wait. Over the next two years he can grow to over 6 feet and consume a few extra rats per week. Carry: Fortunately if you're looking to find your brother's snake a new home, you're lucky. There's a potential owner out there for almost every kind of pet. It's

Fast Facts A Snake's Life

just a matter of finding the right person. Cash: Some people will be quite happy to own such a large snake. In your case though, it's very important to find a responsible owner who knows enough about Boa constrictors and how to care for them. Carry: The classifieds can be a good start, but you should consider contacting your local animal shelter to help you with the process. They may have experience in dealing with placing snakes in a good home or at least recommend someone who can help. Cash: Snakes are a relatively safe pet to own when properly

cared for. As you may be aware, Boa constrictors don't have any venom to worry about. Instead, they attack by wrapping themselves around their prey and tightening their coil as the prey breathes out, eventually leaving the victim to suffocate. Carry: Their temperament can depend greatly on how it was raised. By nature they are docile creatures, but can be very aggressive if provoked. That's why finding guidance for this process would be a good idea. Cash: And as for telling your brother, that's a little trickier. But if you think he'll be mad at you, consider telling him while he's still overseas!

On average, snakes can live for 15 to 25 years. The larger the snake, the longer it usually lives. A three-foot pet corn snake, for example, could live for 15 years while a large python, that reaches a length of 25 feet, may live up to 25 years of age. The oldest snake officially recorded was a Boa constrictor named Popeye. He lived at the Philadelphia Zoo until April 15, 1977. He was 40 years, 3 months and 14 days old.

Caring for Your Snake

Buying a snake or reptile can sometimes be a spur of the moment purchase. So if you're going to make the investment, be sure you can care for them properly. Although snakes can be clean, odorless and docile, they do require special care. Some snakes need a humid environment, a warmer temperature or special housing. And unlike a dog or cat, they don't make noise. So pet snakes can suffer from neglect like forgetting to change their water. However if cared for properly, snakes can make a great pet. •

who

When it comes to being tactful, my father isn't very good. We can usually expect him to say something inappropriate. For my son's seventh birthday, I got him a pet snake. He took to it instantly as a best friend. He named it Petey, carried it everywhere and thought of it as part of the family. At a family gathering he brought it out to show everyone. They all laughed and supported my son as he ran around excited. Then he turned to Grandpa. "Look at my snake," he said enthusiastically. "Isn't he great?" "Sure is," my dad agreed. "And one day he'll make a great belt!" (Thanks to Jamie G.)
