Night Bocce Tournament BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

hey say that Egyptians were playing bocce 5,000 years ago in Egypt. But, according to Danny Walton, it’s Ketchum that can boast of hosting the only night bocce all-terrain tournament on record. Walton and his Mountain Niceness Productions staged the inaugural tournament two years ago. And he will stage the second Night Bocce World Championships at 6 p.m. Friday at Atkinson Park in Ketchum. “We had 150 people show up last time—it’s just so much fun,” said Walton, who has a long history of organizing telemark ski races and Marley in the Mountain reggae concerts. Bocce involves trying to throw a wooden ball at target balls. “It’s something you can do with a beer in your hand,” said aficionado Tod Hakes. That said, those who make it into the Sweet 16 at Atkinson Park will have to play on hills and through obstacles. “You need to bring your full game!” Walton said. Entry is $20 per person, with registration starting at 5:30 p.m. at Atkinsons’ Park. The registration fee includes beer and a bocce set. There also will be live music, a DJ, barbecue, swag and prizes. Bocce players who register ahead of time online at http://idahosociallearningcenter.org/ boccesignup/ will be entered into a raffle to win a stand-up paddleboard. Tickets are also available for $5 each or five for $20 at the event. Kids are welcome—they’ll have their own brackets and lower entry fees. And a junior world champion will be crowned, right alongside a world champion. Proceeds from the tournament will go to the scholarship fund for the Idaho Social Learning Center, which opened this month in Ketchum. The local Social Learning Center was founded by Jaime Rivetts who has a Master of Science in Special Education with an emphasis in autism and has worked at Michelle Garcia Winner’s Center for Social Thinking in San Jose, Calif., and the Lee Pesky Learning Center in Ketchum. Social learning can be useful for those who struggle with social relationships, those with autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder. It can also be useful for those who are gifted and talented or “twice exceptional,” said Rivetts, executive director of the Idaho Social Learning Center. In one case, Rivetts says, she worked with a client dressed in black Goth dress who insisted she didn’t need friends. It turned out the client wanted to make friends but didn’t know how. The two worked on how to make an impression via actions and talk. “My client looked at how she came across and realized she wasn’t going to attract any peers that way,” Rivetts said. “Eventually, the dress, hair and makeup began to change as she began revealing a friendlier, warmer person underneath.” For more information, go to idahosociallearningcenter.org tws

Dutch Oven Adds Bam! STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

teve Lentz was fed up with eating SPAM, canned chicken and Swiss steak boiled in tomato paste after seven years of working for various river rafters. So, when he started his own rafting company nearly 40 years ago in 1975, he joined hands with a Ketchum chef to develop gourmet recipes that could be prepared in 45 minutes or less. The next summer he and the chef, who hailed from one of Ketchum’s upscale restaurants, laid out spreads featuring filet with green peppercorn in cognac sauce, duck l’orange, chicken with lemon capers, beef Wellington and duck confit with ginger sauce that turned heads in the river-rafting world. “We absolutely floored people with the meals we served,” said Lentz, who lives in Ketchum when he’s not guiding people with Far and Away Adventures. “Up until then, river guides had a backpacker’s mentality. But I couldn’t stand eating that stuff. Living in Ketchum, I had an understanding of what people were raving about and we tried to play to those tastes in the dishes we tested.” Lentz and his crew—his wife Annie, daughter Tia and friend Ron Geuin—gave the curious a taste of what they can do right outside Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge Sunday morning. It was part of the third annual Sun Valley Harvest Festival’s annual River Guide Cooking Demonstration. Scooter Carling of Idaho River Journeys cooked up a Dutch-oven artichoke breakfast strata and sour cream coffeecake, while Brennan Rego prepared Spanish paella in cast-iron skillets. Lentz and his crew served a Dutch-oven baked French toast with praline topping, along with barbecued shrimp drizzled with chipotle butter, Kurobuta pork tenderloin topped with brandy sauce, Dutchoven cornbread pudding and roasted fingerling potatoes seasoned with rosemary sprigs and cooked in a Dutch oven. Lentz, who grew up in Central California, became enamored with whitewater rafting when his father took him on a rafting trip in Idaho in 1969. As soon as he came of age, he showed up on the doorstep of the guide who had taken them, looking for a job. “I’ve put 45,000 miles on my boat and I’ve traveled somewhere between one-and-a-half and two times around the Equator. And even after 38 years,

I’m still in love with it,” he said. “When I get out there, I feel like I’m walking into my living room. The furniture may get rearranged now and then but it’s still the same.” Early on. Lentz realized that it roughing it wasn’t going to attract people to whitewater rafting. And so he embraced the concept of glamping—glamorous camping. He worked with The North Face to develop a Cordura bag with a plastic liner that kept people’s personal items dry in the days before dry bags. He replaced the plastic triangular pup tents with a rope running through them with four-season tents. And he provided a soft mattress for his clients instead of the thin foam they had been sleeping on. Today, his crew sets up tents with elevated beds, carpets and nightstands before guests arrive at their destination. They prepare and serve organic meals on pre-heated stoneware atop linen-draped tables lit by candlelight. And they offer special trips, such as Wellness Weeks led by local fitness educator Margie Caldwell Cooper that include yoga, massage and bodywork sessions. And it’s paid off. Lentz’s Far and Away Adventures has scored mentions in the London Times, the Los Angeles Times, Condé Naste, the Boston Globe, Montreal Gazette and other publications. The Travel Channel included them in a piece on glamping last summer. They think they have The Food Network and at least one of the bestknown celebrity chefs in the nation on board for this coming summer. And they have plenty of repeat business from clients who wouldn’t think of going elsewhere. Sun Valley residents Roger and Joan Dermody, for instance, have gone rafting with them three times— taking themselves and 10 other family members on the river for their 50th wedding anniversary

Backwoods Honors Weber With Über Sale and Beast Feast BY KAREN BOSSICK Bruce Weber was a master of many things, including barbecuing, fly-fishing, hunting and fishing. One of his favorite things was organizing the twice-a-year employee sale at Backwoods Mountain Sports where employees sell the outdoor clothing and equipment they’ve worn a couple of times for great prices. On Saturday, Backwoods Mountain Sports employees will organize an Über Employee Yard Sale, along with a Beast Feast BBQ and Beer Fest, in memory of their friend who died suddenly on Aug. 22 following a short illness. The money will be given to Weber’s widow, Colleen Weber, an office manager at Galena Engineering, to help her get through the coming year. “Bruce had a preexisting heart condition so he couldn’t get life insurance,” said former Backwoods employee Jenny Busdon. The sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the store and will feature clothing and equipment donated by The North Face, Patagonia, Marmot, Black Diamond, Camelbak and other manufacturers. Marmot alone donated 25 jackets, said store buyer Libby Holtz. And there

are other items, such as a fourquart Dutch Oven, complete with camping cookbook and 28 pounds of charcoal. There will be a silent auction, featuring art from local artists like Pam Street and Renee Kuross and other items. The barbecue will start at 3 p.m. Weber, who would have been 52 next month, was raised in Commerce Township, Mich., where he made up to $200 a day shining shoes at a nearby golf course, played baseball and skied on the high school ski team. He graduated from Western State College in Gunnison, Colo., with a bachelor’s degree in business and a minor in art. A friend—Jed Sidwell—coaxed him into spending the winter in Sun Valley in 1982 and Weber never returned to the Midwest. He worked at Snug, Pete Lane’s, Bill Mason Outfitters and Silver Creek Outfitters, finally settling in at Backwoods where he worked for 22 years. He took store owner Andy Munter’s admonition to “support your passion” to heart and spent every moment away from the store traveling, hiking, camping, rafting, paddleboarding and fishing exotic locales like Mexico. Periodically, he organized hunting trips for himself and

his co-workers to places like Wyoming where they would go hunting for antelope and other game. “Okay, I got my elk. Now I need you young guys to carry it out for me,” Weber would announce. He barbecued the fish and meat, including bear, improvising the recipes as he went. He supplemented the wild game feeds with produce from his bountiful garden at his home in Bellevue. “He had a need to know what was new and happening. If a new pair of sunglasses came along, he said, ‘I need one of these.’ When paddleboarding came on the scene, he said, ‘I’d better try that,” Holtz said. “He filled the room. He had a big personality.” “Bruce was the great American consumer,” added his wife Colleen. “We’d go shopping in Boise and I’d come out with one new outfit and he’d come out with seven. He always liked to keep his wardrobe fresh.” Weber met his wife of 19 years—Colleen Jones Barney— at Whiskey Jacques’ in 1992 when he spotted her across the room. It was love at first sight. “I had to go through a whole year before I married him to make sure I could survive all the seasons and everything he did,”

Colleen said. Weber woke up with a temperature of 104 degrees the Saturday before he passed away. But he didn’t let his wife know how badly he felt until they were on the way to Twin Falls to celebrate her father’s birthday. He was diagnosed with pneumonia the following Monday but seemed to be doing well when his wife called him Wednes-

day morning from work. She returned home that afternoon to find him gone. “He had open-heart surgery at 33—we almost lost him then,” Colleen said. “Andy said his big heart finally gave out,” added Busdon. A fund has been set up at Zions Bank. Call 208-726-3007 for information. tws

The Equinox Has Arrived BY BALI SZABO

A

ll it takes is one—the crimson splash of a poppy waving in a caress of breeze, backlit like the stained glass of a west-facing window—to provoke a flood of thought. Summer’s cathedral of color is evoked as a memory. This little late meadow sprung to life after I cut down summer’s stifling abundance. All those seeds of poppies, clarkia and scarlet flax emerged to embrace their life-giving sun in a rush to fulfill their destiny. This is their moment in the sun, their 15 minutes of fame, for that’s all they’ve got until the first killing frost halts their rush to life. But by then, most of them will have gone to seed, and they rest in peace. The other day a disappointed person said, ‘I don’t see much here,’ because she wanted a symphonic coda but got an etude. A few square feet of reds and pinks grow next to an abun-

dant royal purple aster that is feeding whatever bees there are left. There’s a second growth of oxeyes, some suddenly unshaded bellflowers (campanula), a few black-eyed susans, orange gaillardias, an abundance of sunflowers, turning maples and oaks, purple plums, ornamental Feather Reed grass seedheads, their dancing tendrils high above a nest of color. The goneby tan of native grasses form a backdrop to what color is left. This passage to late autumn has its own beauty. The march toward what we call death is a calm, graceful journey of these species that possess all the will to live as us humans. There is a message here for our own passage, which need not be imagined as a terrifying, brutish end, when it may well be a tiptoe through another door. All it takes is one poppy to tell me tws that.

What’s Up With That Aspen?

I

f you’ve been lucky enough to get out hiking the last couple of weekends, you may have noticed that the aspens have begun to change for fall. But you also may have noticed that trees on the same hillside can look quite differently from one another—some stands are still solid green while others are already blazing orange. Why is this? Aspen, and all plants, are responding to changing cues as we move into fall, including day length, temperature, and water availability. Elevation and aspect (the direction a slope faces) play a large role in this. And different individuals can respond differently as well. This is where the answer lies for aspen. Assuming that the trees you are observing have similar aspect and slope, what may look like a stand of trees is quite likely one individual tree. Aspens are strong asexual reproducers; much of their new tree produc-

tion comes from “suckers�—new stems (trees) that grow up from the root system of the existing tree. (This is what makes them either a wonderful or annoying tree to plant in your yard—depending on how much space you’d like to fill!). In fact, some people consider aspen to be the largest living land organism on Earth, as a “tree� can consist of thousands of stems—what looks to us like a stand. But all of those stems are one individual, and what happens to one happens to the others. This includes the transition to fall color. On your next fall hike, see if you can find examples of green aspen stands adjacent to pale yellow, adjacent to brilliant orange— and get to know the individual aspens sharing your community! Have a question, or want to write your own ERCbeat? Contact the Environmental Resource Center at 208.726.4333 or reduce@ercsv.org. tws

.A.I.T. Why am I talking? Do you have people in your life who ramble on and on, usually about people or things of no interest to you? Do you ever suspect that you may be in this category? Talking nonstop is a common trait of adult children of alcoholics or children of divorced parents. It stems from feeling, often accurately, that no one listened to them or paid enough attention to them as children. It is also common among older people who live alone. Because the nonstop speakers had so little attention in the past, they want to grab the spotlight when they have it. The unfortunate results also are the same. Instead of drawing people to them, nonstop talkers drive people and potential friends away, creating a vicious cycle. How can you tell if you’re

talking too much? Borrow a technique from consultants who train people for newspaper and television interviews. They caution their clients to speak in 20-second “sound bites� and pause. You can set a timer with a beeper yourself or ask a friend to time you if you are trying to overcome this trait. When you pause, wait to see whether the interviewer asks a follow-up question. If the interviewer does not jump in, it’s okay to go on, starting with something like this: “Would you like to hear more about this, or would you prefer to talk about another topic?� Try to have an alternate topic to suggest. Just remember to pause and W.A.I.T. The letters stand for the question you should ask yourself: “Why Am I Talking?� Learn to be comfortable with silence. Sometimes people need a chance to absorb what you have just told them. Sometimes they

really would prefer to talk about something else. In fact, most people would rather talk about themselves than hear about you and your friends. The best way to get people to like you and to think you are a brilliant conversationalist is to ask them about themselves. “What have you been up to lately?� is a good start. A successful businesswoman in Boise once told me she always learned a lot by asking people why they have chosen to live in this state. So try waiting. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how many more people want to listen to you when you have taken time to listen to them. tws

Neuroscience Pioneer to Speak, Show Film FOR THE WEEKLY SUN

N

euroscience pioneer Richard J. Davidson, director of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, will present a talk on how to “Change Your Brain by Transforming Your Mind� at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. He will also screen his documentary, “Free the Mind,� at The Community Library at 6 p.m. Monday. The events, co-sponsored by St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation and the Flourish Foundation, are free and open to the public. Richardson presented a lecture more than a year ago at the Community School during which he told how a little meditation

every day can change a person’s ability to live in a happy state of being. One can transform the mind through meditation in ways that may be beneficial to mental and physical health, he added. Time Magazine named Davidson one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2006 for his collaborative work on mind-body medicine with the Dalai Lama. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his research, including a National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Award, an Established Investigator Award from the National Alliance for Research in Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders, a Distinguished Investigator Award from NARSAD and the William James Fellow Award from the American Psychological Society. He received his Ph.D. in psychol-

ogy from Harvard University and has been at Wisconsin since 1984. Davidson’s New York Times bestselling book, “The Emotional Life of Your Brain,� has been reviewed in the Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post, Newsweek and more than 20 other national media outlets. In the book, Davidson introduces a new model for our emotions. He outlines six basic emotional styles, each based upon neuroscientific evidence, that define our personality – resilience, outlook, social intuition, self-awareness, sensitivity to context and attention – and describes the interplay between these styles. He then illuminates the brain’s ability to change and how simple strategies can help people shift along the continuum of each style. tws

T

he survey takes just 10 minutes. But it could make the difference of a lifetime for students who suffer from depression or are entertaining suicidal thoughts. Counselors at Wood River High School and Middle School will offer the TeenScreen survey in the coming weeks in health class. Any student enrolled in health class can take the survey with their parent’s okay. Students who are not enrolled in health class but wish to take the survey can do so through St. Luke’s Center for Community Health and other venues. The survey, introduced three years ago in the Blaine County School District, contains 12 questions that gauge depression, anxiety, social connectedness, substance abuse and physical health. Students who take the survey have the opportunity to meet with licensed counselors from such organizations as The Advocates and Crisis Hotline who can answer questions or concerns the students have. “The survey doesn’t diagnose a mental condition. But it helps people realize that mental and emotional health is as important to test as cholesterol. If red flags are raised, it’s up to the family to decide what to do,” said Carney. “No one says, ‘You’re depressed.’ The survey just offers indicators,” added Tod Gunter, a social worker at the Middle School. “If, however, there’s any

indication the student is suicidal, the parents will be notified.” Gunter said school counselors pressed to offer the test following a rash of students who attempted or committed suicide. The test originates with the National Center for Mental Health Checkups at Columbia University and is used in 500 communities nationwide. The schools have no idea who’s screened or what the results are. But the surveys have led some students to get in touch with their counselors. Some of these students might never have sought help otherwise, Gunter said. “Some of the kids know they’re hurting. But they don’t know how to get connected,” said Carney. “This helps with that.” For more information, go to tws teenscreen.org

Air Service Looks for Help from LOT Tax BY KAREN BOSSICK

6 Month

Wood River Valley resident Sarah Rau takes a paddleboard out for a spin at Redfish Lake.

hen Friedman Memorial Airport celebrated its 75th anniversary, it looked as if the airport might be in a new location by the time its 85th anniversary rolled around. Efforts to build a new airport have been derailed at least temporarily by a lagging economy and the presence of sage grouse in the area under consideration. But now Yes to Air, a newly formed citizens group, is promoting the passage of a 1 percent increase in local-option taxes in the cities of Sun Valley, Ketchum and Hailey to bring more direct flights to Sun Valley. All three cities have placed the item on their November ballots. The proposed tax hike, which would be imposed on touristrelated things like hotel rooms, would last only five years as a test drive, said Eric Seder, president of Fly Sun Valley Alliance. But it could raise $2 million a year, bringing in as many as 24,000 new visitors a year. Given that the average visitor stays four days, it would mean nearly 100,000 more dinners local restaurants would have to serve. Overall, it could pump $40 million annually into the local economy. The LOT tax increase would amount to 50 cents on a $50 purchase. Eighty percent of LOT funds come from visitors, said Seder. “What it really does is improve business climate,” Seder added. “And it would definitely enhance property values.” Proponents say the LOT tax is necessary to raise money to provide minimum revenue guarantees to airlines. The guarantees make up the difference in revenue if an air route falls short of an agreed-upon number of passengers. Up to 90 percent of air seats are secured through minimum revenue guarantees in most ski resorts. Even larger cities such

as Salt Lake City, Portland and Pittsburgh use minimum revenue guarantees. Up until now, Sun Valley Resort has paid the lion’s share of minimum revenue guarantees to get direct flights from Los Angeles and Seattle during the ski and summer seasons. But proponents say Sun Valley must secure flights from other major markets to grow the Sun Valley economy. Sun Valley is the only Rocky Mountain ski area to have a net loss of air seats over the past 10 years, said Seder. The number of seats flying into Friedman Memorial Airport has decreased 44 percent over the past six years while competitors’ have had significant increases. Jackson Hole, for instance, initiated a program like this 20 years ago and now has seven non-stop flights from such major markets as Dallas, Minneapolis, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. That program enabled it to leapfrog Sun Valley, which once had “significantly more” skier days. Both the Wood River Economic Partnership and Sawtooth Board of Realtors have endorsed the proposal as the No. 1 factor that can give a huge, immediate boost to the local economy. “The Realtors board is even challenging its members to donate 1 percent of gross commissions to the cause,” said Jed Gray, president of the Realtors board. Air service is critical to keeping Power Engineers’ corporate headquarters in Hailey, said the company’s vice president, Frank Halverson. And reliable air service access is the No. 1 priority for the future success of Sun Valley Resort, said Sun Valley’s general manager, Tim Silva. “The status quo is going to get us the status quo,” he said, adding that his resort will continue to pay half of future minimum tws revenue guarantee costs.

National Public Lands Day

Celebrate National Public Lands Day by visiting Idaho’s first National Monument. All National Park Service entrance fees will be waived to encourage visitation. Each year tens of thousands of people visit the lava tube caves at Craters of the Moon, making them the monument’s most popular feature. Visitors can also help care for these special places by removing trash left in the caves, including many small items that have fallen into cracks and crannies in the cave floors. We’ll also clean up the caves trail by collecting garbage and removing gravel from the old trail that obscures many of the fine surface lava features. Gloves, garbage bags, and all other special equipment will be provided. Working in and around the caves requires screening to prevent the spread of white-nose syndrome, a disease that has killed several million bats in North America. Visit the monument website at ht tp://w w w.nps.gov/crmo/planyourvisit/things2know.htm for more information on appropriate gear. Contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 208.527.1332 or crmo_information@ nps.gov if you would like more information or to help out. Service groups as well as individuals are welcome.

D.L. Evans is 108

D.L. Evans Bank recently celebrated its 108th birthday on September 15th, 2012. A pioneering group of southern Idaho businessmen founded D.L. Evans Bank on September 15, 1904, in Albion, Idaho. Located in a one-story frame building, it was Cassia County’s first bank. The bank was capitalized with $25,000. Today, three generations of the Evans family participate in the bank’s daily operations and on the Board of Directors. While times have changed, the bank has never lost sight of the founder’s vision, ‘That banking is really just about one thing: helping people’. That is the strength of a family-owned community bank, meaningful, longterm relationship. D.L. Evans Bank has taken pride in helping Idaho’s families grow and prosper. Our roots are firmly planted in Idaho with headquarters in Burley and branch offices in Albion, Burley, Rupert, Twin Falls, Jerome, Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Ketchum, Hailey, Pocatello, and Idaho Falls.

Heather Has High Hopes in Dental Hygiene BY JONATHAN KANE

I

f you are a regular customer at Hailey Coffee Company, then you are familiar with the winning smile of Wood River High School senior Lindsey Heather. That’s because you can find her there most days, as she hopes to graduate early in January. Factor in that Heather has been there for three and a half years beginning as a freshman and joining her sister Amy behind the counter and you have the picture of a hard-working student. “Because I took so many online classes to graduate early, I usually start work at noon and then go to three or six o’clock in the evening,” Heather said. “It’s been the greatest job at Hailey Coffee. It’s like we’re one big happy family and I love working there. Carrie, the owner, is awesome. She has created the most comfortable work environment and she’s really your friend and she never talks down to you. She also throws the most killer Christmas parties where we play a lot of games and have things like scavenger hunts.” Although

Heather admits that at times it can be a little stressful waiting on people, she adds, “Everyone’s different and of course you learn everyone’s preferences and all about them. They become friends and you know everyone by their drink, like someone will always get a latté and another person always orders drip coffee. In all, I couldn’t think of a better place to work.” Having moved to the Wood River Valley from Seattle when she was in kindergarten, Heather is planning on another big move this winter, to Boise. “I just don’t know when or how, but I’m definitely going. I’m hoping to attend Carrington College next fall so I’d like to move down there this winter and get a job and a place to live. It would be nice to have a change of scenery.” Heather’s hopes are for a career in dental hygiene and Carrington has three campuses in Idaho and is the best place to go for training. “Hygiene includes teeth-cleaning, X-rays, Novocain and you sit in on things like root canals. I’ve just always been interested in science and a

Taekwondo Tournament

career in dentistry seems to be very appealing. At first my interest was in forensic sciences but I would be a little traumatized by all the dead bodies and carnage. I don’t think being involved with dentistry will be like that and if things work out for me as a dental hygienist, I may be able to go on and become a dentist.” Heather is also a big animal lover and has two cocker spaniels of her own – Radar and Gunner. “Gunner is six months old and we just got him and he’s quite the handful. I just grew up loving animals because you fall in love with them. They’re great companions and they always love you, no matter what. Cocker spaniels are very mellow and can just be lap dogs. They just sit and watch TV with you and give you kisses. At first I was going to get a dog for Radar but the one we found was not really socialized and hated men. Then I saw this puppy and instantly fell in love. Of course, my parents weren’t sure at first, but now they love him. We wanted a girl but he’s fitting in so well that everything’s worked out great.”

“I’ve always been interested in science and a career in dentistry seems to be very appealing.”

After moving from Seattle, Heather attended Bellevue Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Wood River Middle School and now the high school. “It’s so awesome to live here. I go back to Washington and I would have been a completely different person if I had grown up there. Living here, I like getting all the seasons, and to be able to ski is a real perk. In Washington, if it snows one inch, everything shuts down. I also like that people here are laid back. There are a lot of hippies. But I guess I’d rather live in a city. I’ll try Boise but Seattle just seems too far from home. I like that in a city it’s always busy and that there’s a lot more to do. I’m not the kind of

Zions Bank Exec Sees Silver Lining Among The World’s Mess BY KAREN BOSSICK

W

orried about the economy? Rest assured: Right now the United States is “the least bad place to be.� And that makes it the least bad place to invest, says George Feiger, chief executive officer for Contango Capital Advisors—Zions Bancorporation’s wealth management arm. Feiger spoke recently at a community speaker series hosted by Zions Bank. While the global economy has been deteriorating, the silver lining is that the U.S. economy is less susceptible than it used to be, Feiger said. If we wrote off our loans to European banks, it wouldn’t be deadly. Our gross domestic prod-

uct would fall by .4, compared with the .5 it fell in the Asian crisis of 1998. The problem is it’s not just the Eurozone in trouble, Feiger said. Emerging Asian economies are also saturated with debt. “It’s a grand mess,� he said. China will boom again but not as much as it did in the past. China’s exports to the United States and Europe are stagnating, the country has a liquidity shortage, it suffers from excessive real estate speculation and it’s one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Still, the United States’ major problem lies with the United States. Before we laugh at Europe, we’re more indebted than any of those governments, Feiger said.

Win Big!

The United States is grossly indebted—and that applies not just to the federal government but to households, too. Indebtedness grew in two large jumps during the Reagan administration and the Bush administration. “This level of debt is unparalleled and can’t be repaid. So I’m confident we will have inflation,� Feiger said. That said, there are some bright spots, he added. To the country’s advantage: its shale gas resources, the way we raise capital for new business ventures, the world’s most innovative economy, a banking system that’s been repaired, and job growth. tws

Creating Your Holiday Budget By Mathew Paulson, District Manager at U.S. Bank

F

irst, know your budget. Calculate what you can afford to spend overall and then decide how you’ll spend the money – not the other way around. If you suddenly have an idea to give your family a big-screen TV or dream vacation but you haven’t been saving for those purchases, you could be in debt for months to come. The excitement of an impressive gift simply isn’t worth the lasting dent it can put in your finances. It’s far better to arrive at a figure you can comfortably pay off, and tailor your purchases accordingly. Keep in mind, too, that establishing a budget before the Black Friday advertisements begin can help you to keep your spending in check. Don’t forget the other 11 months. If property tax is due in February or you’ll owe income tax in April, you should be setting aside money right now, not spending more and racking up holiday debt. It’s challenging, but if you budget all year for recurring expenses, you won’t be caught off guard when your car insurance comes due. Holiday purchases need to be part of your budget so that you don’t allocate all of your funds for entertainment, travel and gifts and then come up short when it’s time to pay your regular recurring bills. Banish your giving guilt. Somehow, many of us have come to believe that our kids will be disappointed if they don’t get a mountain of toys. We also think our neighbors, family members and co-workers expect pricey gifts. Think of all the unnecessary presents you get each year. Would you like someone any less without these gifts? Would they? Along the same lines, ask your family (and your friends) about holding a modified gift exchange, where you draw names from a hat and concentrate your time, effort and money on getting just one gift for that special person. Stick to your list. Before hitting the mall, list all the gifts you need to buy and how much you intend to spend on each. Consult your list frequently as you breeze through the aisles. Respect your budget. If you go over on one purchase, you’ll need to make up for it

somewhere else. Comparison shop online. Not sure if the latest department store sale really offers the best price? Investigate online. Compare prices on clothing, toys, gift items—whatever appears on your list. Many stores offer free shipping before the holidays, and as long as your package arrives in time, you could save money and time by comparing prices and shopping online. Be creative. You don’t have to break the bank to bring happiness. The gift of your time is far more valuable than mere objects. For instance: • If Grandma’s closets are overflowing, she probably doesn’t need another sweater, but she might appreciate a collection of hand–drawn pictures or a “couponâ€? for you to clean her house. • Friends with a toddler will cherish free babysitting far more than the latest DVD. • Your uncle probably has enough hammers and wrenches. Why not give him a batch of your world-famous cinnamon rolls instead? • Your teenager might love the latest smart phone, but promising him or her a month of driving lessons would be appreciated, too. Be charitable. If you’re agonizing over what to give someone who already has everything, turn that $25 gift certificate into a $25 donation to a favorite charity in their honor. Donating money to charity can help your end-of-year budget as well, since you’ll be able to take a tax deduction on the amount you donate. Deposit products offered by U.S. Bank National Association.

Auto Insurance, A Crucial Part of Driving

I

t’s all about protection -- for yourself and for those you come in contact with. You are responsible for any damage you may cause while driving your car, and a good insurance policy can protect you, your family and the things you’ve worked hard to have. But how much protection do you need, and what can you do if you can’t afford it? Most states have minimum guidelines regarding insurance, and carrying insurance is mandatory in most of the United States. Minimum limits vary from state to state -- Florida requires minimum bodily damage per person of $10,000, while Texas requires $20,000. Vermont mandates minimum property damage coverage of $10,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident, while South Carolina requires $25,000. In the “Anatomy of an Auto Policy,” distributed by State Farm Insurance Company in Bloomington, Ill., customers are advised, “When shopping for insurance, it’s important to look at more than the total cost. Become familiar with the amount and type of coverage that is being offered. “Also, note what isn’t being covered, who is covered while driving your vehicle and the quality of customer service in the event of an accident. The bottom line is that you should understand your policy and buy the amount of insurance you think you need.” There are some basic terms you need to know about automobile insurance when picking your policy. Each provide coverage for different elements of an accident: * Bodily Injury Liability -- Covers claims

and lawsuits by people injured as a result of an accident you cause. * Property Damage Liability -- Used in claims and lawsuits for property damaged as a result of an accident you cause. * Personal Injury Protection -- Coverage for injuries sustained in an automobile accident by you or other persons covered under your policy. * Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage -- This pays for property damage or bodily injury if you are in an accident caused by an uninsured motorist (a driver who does not have the minimum level of insurance required by law) or a driver who is insured, but who has less coverage than your underinsured motorist coverage. * Collision -- Covers damage to your vehicle as the result of a collision with another car or other object. * Comprehensive -- This is used for damage to your vehicle that is not a result of a collision, such as theft of your car, vandalism, flooding, fire or a broken windshield. It also pays if you collide with an animal. Most coverages, particularly those that ensure damages to someone else will be paid, are mandatory. In some states, additional underinsured motorist coverage is optional. Collision and comprehensive is almost always at the buyer’s discretion -- however, if your vehicle is financed, it may be a requirement of the finance company. There are other optional coverages that are nice to have, such as rental reimbursement in the event your vehicle is damaged in an accident.

Variables such as age, gender, driving history, region, and the car itself all play an important part in premium rates. COURTESY PHOTO

When it comes to picking your policy, Becky McMenomy, a licensed agent with Ike Tolks in Petaluma, Calif., said, “To know what liability limits a person should carry, they need to do a quick financial analysis to determine what assets they have that can be at risk in a lawsuit -- equity in a home, savings, even their paycheck. A person should have higher liability limits than their assets.” Variables such as age, gender, personal driving history, region, the car itself and even the driving records of others with the same risk factors will play an important part in premium rates. tws

Fuel saving tips

Curb road rage. Speeding, rapid acceleration (jackrabbit starts), and rapid braking can lower gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds. Drivers can save up to 90 gallons of gasoline, or up to $210, by driving sensibly on the highway. If you don’t have a “lead foot,” your savings may be closer to 10% at highway speeds – about $65 Drive sensibly. Around town, sensible driving can save 5% – up to 17 gallons of gasoline and up to $40. Cut miles. If you can cut your vehicle miles traveled by just 5% through combining trips, walking, biking, or taking public transportation, you can save up to $70 per year on gasoline costs. Walking and biking are good for your health too! Choose the right vehicle. If you own more than one vehicle, drive the one that gets better gas mileage whenever possible. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10% of your trips from driving a car that gets 20 mpg to one that gets 30 mpg will save you almost $50 per year. Turn down the air. Operating the air conditioner on “Max” can reduce mpg by 5 – 25% compared to not using it. It‘s a ”drag.“ Avoid carrying items on your vehicle‘s roof. A loaded roof rack or carrier increases weight and aerodynamic drag, which can cut mileage by 5%. Place items inside the trunk whenever possible to improve your fuel economy. Ditch “junk in the trunk.” An extra 100 pounds in the trunk cuts a typical vehicle‘s fuel economy by up to 2%. You can save up to 12 gallons of gasoline per year – almost $30 – by removing an extra 100 pounds of unneeded items from the trunk. Decrease your speed. Speeding costs! Gas mileage usually decreases rapidly above 60 mph. Each five miles per hour over 60 mph is like paying an additional 24 cents per gallon for gas. Avoid idling. Idling gets 0 mpg. Cars with larger engines typically waste even more gas while idling than cars with smaller engines. Combine errands/trips. If you combine errands into one trip, you drive fewer miles and use less fuel. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longer, multipurpose trip when the engine is warmed up and efficient. Use overdrive gear. If available, use your vehicle‘s overdrive gear to reduce engine speed, which will enable you to save gas and reduce engine wear. Use cruise control. Cruise control cuts fuel consumption by maintaining a steady speed during highway driving. Carpool. Using the average U.S. work commute of 12.1 miles, commuters could save about $180 a year by carpooling twice a week with two other people in a vehicle that gets 20.1 miles per gallon – assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas. Motorcycling. Motorcycles average 56 mpg—and motor scooters do even better. For one person or even two, motorcycles or scooters clearly use far less energy than a car with one or two people. If four people need to go somewhere, they are better off in a vehicle that gets 30 mpg than on two motorcycles that get 56 mpg. Telecommute or stagger work hours. If your employer permits, avoid sitting in traffic and wasting gas, especially during peak rush hours. A worker who telecommutes twice a week would save about $275 a year in gasoline costs. Buy smart. When buying a new or used vehicle, think high gas mileage. Check out the U.S. Department of Energy’s Web site or look for a SmartWay© certified vehicle on EPA’s Green Vehicle Guide for information on fuelefficient vehicles.

Choosing the Right Mechanic Makes All the Difference

T

here are a few things which are necessary to make sure that you will have a car which will work properly at all times. You need to make sure that you are not driving your car in reckless manner. You also need to make sure that you are putting the right kind of gasoline in the tank. Most importantly, you need to make sure that your vehicle is getting properly maintained at regular intervals. This is something which only should be done by ASE master technicians. Some people think that price is the most important factor when picking out a mechanic to work on their vehicle. They will simply go to any location where they are getting the best price for the work that they need to have done. What they may not realize is how important it is to make sure that they are being able to get more than just a good price. The right mechanic might cost a little bit more money but in the end, they will end up saving you a lot of money in repairs or having to buy a whole new vehicle. Getting regular maintenance - When you have your vehicle serviced, it is about more than just belts and hoses. If you are bringing your vehicle to the same mechanic all the time, they will know what the history of the vehicle is. They will know about things that they will need to look out for from one visit to the next. This way when you bring in your vehicle for regular maintenance, they will be able to watch for

certain aspects of the vehicle to make sure that they are up to the standards which are necessary to keep your vehicle running properly. Maintenance for any vehicle - It does not matter whether you are driving a regular car or a sport utility truck, maintenance is important. Since sport utility and light truck repair is a bit more expensive than that of a car, it is even more important that you are getting regular maintenance. Try to find a mechanic which specializes in the kind of vehicle you are driving so that you will have a better shot at making sure that you will be able to get the right kind of service. This has more to do with the brand of vehicle you are driving than if you are driving a car versus a truck. Where to Find a Mechanic - There are many different mechanics, which are located throughout the phone book in any city across America. The question is, how can you make sure that you are picking the one which is right for you? The key is to have a willingness to look around in different places. Most people will go to the large places because they look safe. The problem is that you will have a different person working on your car every time. You want a small shop with all of the right equipment so that you will get all of the individual attention you need while still getting great car service. tws

U

sers of an iPhone®, iPad® or Android™ phone or tablet who need a Bosch part for a vehicle can get the information they need right from their mobile device. In addition to the initial Apple version of its Vehicle Part Finder app, Bosch has now released an Android version of the app. Bosch products currently covered in the Vehicle Part Finder app include spark plugs, wiper blades, oxygen sensors, fuel pumps, battery chargers -- and now air management sensors, gasoline fuel injectors and glow plugs – providing part numbers along with images, features and technical attributes for vehicles operating in the United States and Canada. “The addition of Android mobile devices expands the penetration of the Part Finder app significantly, as these devices gain in popularity. All functions available in the iPhone and iPad app are now available in the Android version as well,” said Otto Stefaner, Project Manager for Bosch. “The app is a real boon for customers, service and sales personnel. Anyone who needs to find a Bosch part number from these selected product lines can do so quickly and easily.” “The Bosch NA Vehicle Part Finder for an Apple iPhone or iPad can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes© App Store. The app for Android devices is available from the Amazon App Store for Android or from Google Play. The app features both Browse and Search functions so users can find part information by entering vehicle year, make

and model, or simply by entering the Bosch part number if they already know it,” Stefaner said. Separate from the mobile app, the Bosch Vehicle Part Finder on the www.boschautoparts.com website now features rotatable and scalable 360º images for oxygen sensors, fuel pumps and other engine management components. The user clicks the 360º symbol to open the image player. The player shows a 360º view of the part and includes options to zoom in on the image, advance the 360º “movie” manually, image by image, and also offers a full-screen viewing option. More 360º images for additional product lines will be rolled out in the future. A special tab has also been added to view a product warranty statement. Warranty data has been loaded for most products found on www.boschautoparts. com. “The Bosch Part Finder app complements the comprehensive Vehicle Part Finder function on the www.BoschAutoParts. com website, which lists part numbers for products available on the Bosch Part Finder app as well as additional Bosch product categories. This makes it easy to find the right Bosch part for virtually any vehicle sold in the USA and Canada. More product lines will be added to the app soon,” Stefaner indicated. Bosch is a proud supporter of the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association’s Know Your Parts® education and awareness campaign. This initiative promotes the impor-

tance of quality brand name aftermarket parts backed by full service suppliers, and its impact on delivering reliable products to today’s motorists.

Myth: “I heard it was better to keep my engine running than turn it off, because turning the engine back on uses more fuel than idling...”

Fact: Idling uses more fuel than turning off your engine and restarting it. As a rule of thumb, turn off your engine if you will be idling for more than 30 seconds.

Commuting vs. Hypermiling R ising gas prices are back, and most of us are doing everything possible to keep gas bills at a minimum. “Everything possible” takes on any entirely different meaning for a group of people that calls themselves “hypermilers”. These dedicated, fuel economy-conscious drivers alter their driving habits to achieve gas mileage far beyond the EPA’s estimates for their cars. Here are both moderate tactics and ones that are more extreme, and we again warn you that we don’t recommend any tricks that can be uncomfortable for occupants or potentially hazardous to your safety.

Tires What hypermilers are doing: Many hypermilers overinflate their tires a couple psi, something that can be dangerous, especially on older tires. What you can do instead: Inflate your tires to the maximum psi recommended. This reduces rolling resistance, improving gas mileage. If you’re in the market for new tires, look for ones with lower rolling resistance (LRR). Don’t forget to get them rotated and balanced when you take your car in to the shop to make sure the tires are wearing evenly.

They can walk. Take out all seats except for the driver’s. Don’t forget to lose the spare tire and jack. That’s what AAA is for. What you can do instead: Loose some weight, in your car. Take out everything you really don’t need, like that extra umbrella for when in rains in July and the roof rack that you haven’t used in months.

Acceleration What hypermilers are doing: Park downward facing hills in parking lots or on the street to get a rolling start in neutral instead of needing to use the gas. What you can do instead: Remember when you were learning to drive? The instructor (hopefully) taught you to slowly accelerate from a stop with a steady, fluid movement. Pick up those teachings again and forgo jerky starts. If you pay attention to how you currently drive, you may realize you’re using more gas than you need. Use cruise control, a system that keeps

Mass

your acceleration as steady as a surgeon’s hand, as much as possible.

Coasting and Braking

What hypermilers are doing: Never brake at all by coasting to complete stops. Keep (sometimes high) speed around corners in order to maintain coasting out of the turn. What you can do instead: Coast to a stop with as little braking as possible and go slow enough around corners that you don’t need to brake. Coast down hills by laying off the brakes and gas, and push in the clutch if you’re driving a manual.

Pulse and Glide What hypermilers are doing: While gliding, put the car into neutral and wait until you hit a low speed of about 15 mph under the speed limit. Shifting into neutral increases fuel efficiency, but means you don’t have complete control of your vehicle, which is dangerous and illegal in some states. What you can do instead: Accelerate slowly up to the maximum speed limit, then let the car glide until it slows about 10 mph. When you put it in drive again, “pulse” the accelerator back up to the speed limit. Be prepared for some very annoyed looking drivers in your rearview mirror.

What hypermilers are doing: Passengers?

Protect Yourself From a ‘Lemon’ Defective cars don’t make good lemonade

value,” Meyers said. Each state has its own rules regarding what qualifies, but generally the car shouldn’t be older than 30 months as of the retail delivery date. There are also mileage limitations. For some states, once a car has three repairs for a problem under warranty, it may be fit for lemon territory. It is even possible a used car will be covered. First, find out what qualifies as a lemon where you live. Carlemon.com provides lemon law summaries and statutes for each state, as well as information on the Federal MagnusonMoss Warranty Act, enacted in 1975, which “makes breach of warranty a federal law.” If the car doesn’t qualify as a lemon in your state, the site lays out other resources that will help. Meyers recommended documenting all repairs in order to have a case. “If you have a problem you can’t fix, bring it in for repairs and keep records,” he said. “That’s the purpose of a warranty -- to help repair your car.” Make sure all documentation is accurate and the problems written by both the vehicle owner and dealership are detailed and consistent. Keep all logs of repairs or random breakdowns, noting mileage and exactly what happened. These are the basis of determining and filing a car as a lemon. The owner needs to be in charge and aware of what is documented. “You must describe an unfixed defect the same, each time you take the vehicle in for repair, and you must make sure that your complaint is written on the repair order,” states carlemon. com. It also offers a vehicle repair log with detailed sections to fill, from price and odometer readings to problem descriptions

W Ask the TECH Questions Oils, Filters and Fluids

Wheel Alignment

What fluids will you check? Is the oil you’re putting in my car the right type for the way I drive? Is an oil filter change included with this service? When should I get my next oil change? What fluid should I change next? How often should my fluid level be checked? Will my car’s instrument panel alert me if fluids are low?

Is this a four-wheel alignment? How did the improper settings relate to the symptoms my car exhibited…Poor tire wear, wandering, etc.? Are there other problems related to alignment such as worn steering and suspension parts? Has my car been road-tested to ensure that it performs properly and that my complaint has been corrected?

Belts and Hoses

What type of tires should go on my vehicle based on my driving? What can happen if I install a set of tires having a size not recommended for my car? My car shakes at certain speeds…What causes this? Can my driving habits affect tire life? Do they have to be replaced in pairs?

What’s the difference between a V-belt and a serpentine belt? Why does my aftermarket Vbelt have notches? What are branched hoses and why might these be better for my vehicle? What is electrolytic corrosion and how did it get in my cooling system?

Brake Service Is there anything I can do to help the brakes on my car last longer? How does the work being performed eliminate the symptoms my car exhibited or my complaint? Are there any related services my car needs while this service is being performed? What does the brake warning light mean on my car’s dashboard?

Tune-Up How often does my car need a tune-up? Are there other services that need to be performed at this time? How does this work address my complaint? If the “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” light comes on, is it the same as saying it’s time for a tune-up?

Tire Service

Check Engine Light Does the light mean my car needs a tune-up? When checking out the cause of the light, are there any other services that need to be performed at the same time? Is it normal for the light to come on briefly when I start my car? What happens if I just ignore the light? Will the light eventually turn off by itself? Will my car pass an emissions test if the light is on?

Appearance How do I get my tires to have a shine? Do small cracks in the windshield need to be fixed? What can I use to remove small scratches in the paint? Why shouldn’t I wash my car with dishwashing soap? tws

hen you have lemons, make lemonade -- or so the saying goes. It may be tried and true for some of life’s roadblocks, but not every sour situation has such a sweet outcome. When it comes to buying a car and finding out it’s a lemon, the circumstances result in more than just a bad taste in the mouth. How do you know if you have a lemon, and what can you do about it if you do? How do you avoid buying one in the first place? A lemon, purely as it relates to cars, is “a vehicle that has a defect that cannot be repaired within a reasonable amount of time or amount of repairs,” according to Marshall Meyers, managing partner for Weisberg & Meyers, a law firm specializing in lemon law litigation headquarted in Arizona. Defects that determine whether a car is a lemon include: considerable problems caused by the manufacturer jeopardizing safety, affecting the market value of the car and the ability to use the vehicle. Recurring brake problems or doors that don’t operate properly due to manufacturer error are examples of this. The owner of a lemon can be compensated with a refund or a car replacement if it is covered under law. It’s important to research both state and federal laws to know for sure. “State remedies offer refunds or replacements from use, market value or safety defects, and federal remedies provide cash compensation from diminished

and vehicle information. After documenting the car’s repair history, an informal dispute resolution through the manufacturer is an option a consumer may take. However, according to Steve Solomon, author of “The Good, the Bad and the Rest: State Lemon Laws and Protection for Consumers,” from the journal of the American Bar Association, “The major criticisms of manufacturerfunded dispute programs are that they are comparable to the ‘wolf guarding the chicken coop,’ and that the results are more protective of car makers than of the consumer.” Alternatively, you may consider hiring an attorney who works on lemon law cases and taking the manufacturer to court. The attorneys are paid by the manufacturer, not the consumer, so they have the consumer’s interests in mind. Take advantage of consultations. Some websites provide resources to find attorneys for each state, such as lemonlawyers.net. Always be aware of state Lemon Laws before purchasing your next vehicle. Some states don’t honor leased vehicles or have lemon laws that are more business friendly as opposed to consumer friendly. Make sure a used car dealer provides a CARFAX report and documentation alerting the consumer about a lemon car. Pay attention to anything that seems “off.” If it’s a new car with low miles at a used car dealership, it may be a lemon. As Meyers said, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” If you pay attention before your next car purchase and keep detailed documentation of repairs, your lemons may turn into lemonade after all. tws

Tips on How To Save at the Pump • Stop pumping gas when the tank shuts off — do not overfill • Don’t leave your vehicle idling; it’s better to turn it off & on • Plan the best route for running errands so that you do not drive any farther than absolutely necessary • Low grade fuel, rather than premium is just fine — unless your owner’s manual calls for higher octane choices • Consider gas additives as an excellent money saver. The benefits include cleaner fuel system and combustion chamber, which directly helps cut down on emissions that harm the environment

Hillside Auto RepAiR Don’t get caught off guard by cold temperatures this fall, come in and get a full diesel winterization, also available for all make and model vehicles. Includes fuel additive, antifreeze check, fluid check and full inspection.

Steps to a “Greener” Car

I

t doesn’t matter if the car you’re driving is new or old, big or small. There are preventive maintenance steps every vehicle owner can take to make sure their car is as “green” or environmentally friendly as possible, according to the Car Care Council. By following a few simple preventive maintenance steps, you can help protect the environment by improving gas mileage, which in turn saves money at the pump. Keep your car properly tuned for optimum performance. Regular tune-ups, maintenance and having clean air filters will help your car pollute less and burn less gas. Getting a tuneup can improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent. Simply changing the car’s air filter can improve efficiency by 10 percent. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Drive smart – If you have to drive your car, recognize that how you drive has a lot to do with fuel economy. Avoid sudden starts and stops and go the speed limit. Jerky and aggressive driving decreases your miles per gallon (MPG) and increases wear and tear on your vehicle. Minimize unnecessary miles by combining errands in one trip. Lighten the Load – Get the junk out of the trunk and the stuff out of your car, with the exception of emergency items such as a spare tire, flares and a first-aid kit. Extra items weigh the vehicle down and cause an increase in gas usage. Regularly check and replace

dirty air filters – An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a “rich” mixture – too much gas being burned for the amount of air – that wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve your car’s performance, but not miles per gallon. Have spark plugs checked and replaced if necessary – A vehicle can have four, six or eight spark plugs, which fire as many as three million times every 1,000 miles. This results in a lot of heat, electrical, and chemical erosion. A dirty spark plug also causes misfiring, which wastes fuel. Maintain the cooling system – A cooling system thermostat that causes the engine to run too cold will lower the fuel efficiency of a car by as much as one or two mpg. There also are improved radiator caps on the market today that allow the cooling system to operate at a higher temperature before boiling over, increasing the system’s efficiency and reducing emissions Tire checks – According to the Car Care Council, around two billion gallons of gas each year could be saved if the tires on every American’s car were properly inflated. Optimal tire pressure for your vehicle is listed in the owner’s manual. Tires that are

not properly inflated add rolling resistance that makes the engine work harder to move the vehicle. All of this increases fuel costs as much as three to five cents per gallon, and increases the risk of engine damage. Gas caps and fill-ups – Check your vehicle’s gas cap. Approximately 17 percent of vehicles on the road have loose, damaged or missing gas caps, causing 147 million gallons of gas to vaporize every year. Topping off your gas tank when filling up your car can also release harmful vapors into the environment. Vehicle fuel system - By properly maintaining your vehicle’s fuel system, such as replacing your car’s fuel filter every two years or 24,000 miles and having your fuel injectors flushed our every 30,000 miles, you will not only have a cleaner, ‘greener’ car, but you will save money at the pump.” Emission systems - Emission systems control a vehicle’s emissions, exhaust and pollutants using an array of sensors, computerized engine controls and the exhaust components. Emission systems substantially reduce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and prevent harmful gasoline vapors from escaping at the fuel tank. Your car’s emission system keeps the engine running cleanly and efficiently in all sorts of operating conditions, and keeping it in proper working condition can save money and protect the environment. tws

Make Your Car Last 200k Miles

W

ith proper care, many of today’s cars can last 200,000 miles or more, and owners seeking to limit repair costs by trading in their vehicle every three to five years may lose out on thousands of savings, says Consumer Reports October issue. Recent Consumer Reports surveys identified 6,769 readers with 200,000 miles or more on their vehicles’ odometers. The report featured accounts that ran the gamut of make and model, including a ‘95 Honda Civic with 227,000 miles, a ‘90 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a West Virginia family’s 1994 Ford Ranger pickup with an impressive 488,000 miles. When comparing the costs of buying and keeping a car for 225,000 miles over 15 years to buying and financing an identical model every five years, CR found the savings could be more than the original purchase price of the vehicle—and even greater if the savings were invested. Consumer Reports names Good and Bad Bets: Buying a car with a good track record is important in reaching the 200K Club. Consumer Reports identifies Good and Bad Bets for those shooting for 200,000 miles. Good Bets have performed well in Consumer Reports tests and have better-than-average reliability scores for several model years. Bad Bets have multiple years of much worse than average reliability and more problems than other models overall. Reliability is based on the results of Consumer Reports Reliability Survey, and all have three or more model years of data. Good Bets: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4 Bad Bets: BMW 7-Series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar S-Type, Jaguar X-Type, Mercedes-Benz M-Class (V8), Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Volkswagen Touareg, Volvo XC90 (6-cyl.) Get Your Car To Go the Distance: For motorists looking to make

their car reach 200,000 miles, the October issue of Consumer Reports offers complete advice on how to do it. Here are some of the highlights: Go by the book. Follow the maintenance schedule in the vehicle owner’s manual and make necessary repairs promptly. If you think you’re saving money by skipping an oil change, think again. Missing even one oil change can accelerate premature engine wear and cause engine damage. The manual contains a maintenance schedule. Use the right stuff. When it’s time for maintenance or repairs, use only parts and fluids meeting manufacturer specifications. Using the wrong type of oil or transmission fluid, for example, could result in damage leading to expensive repairs. Know what to look for. Problems can arise at any time and for inexplicable reasons. So it helps to get in the habit of opening the hood and looking, listening, and smelling what’s happening in your engine bay. Look for fraying or cracks in belts, and cracks or bulges in hoses. Investing in a vehicle service manual, available at car dealerships and most auto-parts stores, will help show you what to look for and assist you with minor repairs. Keep it clean. Get out the cleaning products periodically. Regular cleaning inside and out can make the car a more pleasant place to be as you roll up the miles, and washing and waxing can help preserve the paint and keep the sheet metal below it from rusting. Vacuuming sand and dirt out of carpets and seats can minimize premature wear that leads to tears and holes. Buy a reliable, safe car. Buy a car with a good track record. Consumer Reports offers comprehensive reliability ratings in every April Autos issue and to ConsumerReports.org subscribers. Buy a car that has performed well in government and insurance-industry safety tests and has the latest safety equipment, like electronic stability control and curtain air bags. If you’re going to live with a vehicle for a long time, you will want it to provide maximum safety protection. tws

Steve Vai’s Tour Comes Close to Home BY LESLIE THOMPSON

A

fter a five-year hiatus, Steve Vai is on tour with his new solo album, The Story of Light. The album is the second part of Vai’s Real Illusions project, which he says is a work in progress. Although vocals are not dominant on this album, his immeasurable talent will not leave you wanting. Fans can witness his unmistakable artistry at his Oct. 3 show at Boise’s Knitting Factory. Perhaps Vai is most well known for his earlier days of playing with Frank Zappa, David Lee Roth — even Whitesnake for a stint. However, Vai’s journey to explore the frontiers of music reach all the way back to his childhood. He told me he vividly recalls his first memory of music when he was four years old and hit a note on his aunt’s piano. “At that precise moment, I believe I had an epiphany. I had this instinctual feeling that I had all these ideas. I realized that anything you heard in your head, you can actually create it, by putting the right instruments and the right sounds together. And I also realized that the process of creating music was relatively infinite—that you can never really run out of ideas.” Vai’s childhood dream to become a composer was born out of that moment. “I realized that written music, which always looked beautiful to me — kind of like art — was like a secret language… I wanted to understand it. I wanted to be able to control it. From then on, I was completely fascinated with the idea of controlling a large group of people with little black dots.” Vai revealed that while most kids were doodling little characters, he would doodle musical notes all day long. His parents recognized and nurtured his interest. “They found the things I was interested in and they supported them—even when I was playing the StarSpangled Banner with my teeth,” he said with a spirited laughter. Before he was a teenager, he was taking guitar lessons from a student that was four years his senior, Joe Satriani, who later became another well-known

guitarist. He said it was their high school music teacher, Bill Westcott, who expanded his horizons of music theory and the intricacies of composition. Westcott would give him assignments to compose a full piece of music every day. All of this would ultimately get him accepted to the Berklee College of Music, where he graduated in 1979. The school eventually awarded him an honorary Doctor of Music degree in 2000. Vai confessed that, over the years, his moments of musical inspiration come at varied times and unannounced — almost elusively. “For years I tried to grab little snippets of ideas when they came in and record them.” However, prior to working on his own solo albums, he began his career with other bands and his first appearance on an album was in 1980 on Frank Zappa’s Tinsel Town Rebellion. He began working with Zappa when he was 18 years old and stayed on with him for six years before branching out into other directions. “If you can imagine being 18 or 20 years old and touring with Frank Zappa — it’s a powerful education,” Vai admitted. In his solo projects, Vai’s music is punctuated with creative expression and emotion-evoking melodies. “I love the energy of rock. But I also have all this tremendous academic knowledge and a desire for composition and also this deep spiritual yearning, so my brain just mixes all this stuff together and that’s how I get the music.” Typically, the term ‘living the dream’ conjures up ideas of having all the money in the world, or having anything you want at the same time; however, Vai said, “For me, living the dream was always hearing something in my head and then bringing it out into the world and listening to it.” A believer that the actions in the universe are based on cause and effect, he is committed to improving the world through both his music and his actions. He has collaborated with Ibanez on guitar designs and, most recently, with Allen Sides and Metal Sidecar app engineers on an “The Ocean Way Microphone Locker,”

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

which he says is an indispensable tool for anyone recording anything. He now has his own record label – Favored Nations Vai makes regular contributions to young musicians through his Make a Noise Foundation, which provides musical instruments and music education to those who cannot afford them. This cause hits close to home for him, because when he was accepted to Berklee, his father sold his life insurance policy to pay for the tuition. He is also a trustee for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), a Grammy organization. And in his private life, it seems Vai is living blissfully as well. He and his wife, Pia, have been married for 32 years. “People say you have to work at a marriage, but I’ve discovered that, really, it’s not that you have to work at the marriage, it’s an opportunity to work on yourself. Because the other person’s dynamic and attitude is usually based on what you’re giving out. The other person is, in a sense, a reflection of you, in a way.” In his free time, Vai finds relaxation in beekeeping. And in doing so, he gives back to nature and charity. Some of the honey that is harvested each year is given away at Christmas, and the remainder is auctioned for the Make a Noise Foundation. “When I got into working with honeybees I was absolutely stunned at their infrastructure — how each bee has a duty and they unequivocally do it. They work based on what their job needs to be. I can’t imagine one of my honeybees taking the day off.” As for Vai taking the day off, well, that might not happen too soon. After the American leg of his tour wraps up this month, he’ll head to Europe, where he’ll be on the road through December. When can we expect the final installment of the Real Illusions trilogy? “I don’t want to rush it. When you’re creating stuff, it’s based on your personality at the time and your perspective on life. As we go through life our perspectives change — our belief systems change. The next installment will probably not be my next studio record,” he revealed.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR sepT. 26, 2012 By: Jim sanTa

A

lthough we will continue to have some great fishing through the fall this will be my final report for the 2012 fishing season. I’ve got some vacation time coming and we are also making the transition in the Ketchum store from fishing to ski. During my October vacation time I will be in Wisconsin where I’ll take a shot at some pike and musky on the fly and also plan to take a few days to swing some flies for steelhead on the middle and lower Salmon. I promise to post any outstanding results on the Sturtevant’s Facebook page. As for the local trout report, fishing has continued to be quite good. We’ve had great reports from the Big Wood, Lower Big Lost and S.F. of the Boise. It’s the time of season where not a lot will change going forward. Through the fall we’ll typically see a decent hatch during the heat of the day. While we’ll see some bigger bugs during the next couple of weeks it will soon be all small stuff, baetis and midges. One can never go wrong with a 16 or 18 zebra midge below an indicator. As the water cools down the fish will move into the slower slicks and tailouts to feed and will begin to pod up. Think small and be stealthy. It’s been a pleasure to bring you these reports throughout the season and as always, stop by or give us a call for the latest reports and remember our fly shop in Hailey will remain fully stocked all winter. Best wishes for a great fall fishing season!

The film has won awards at several film festivals, including the Berlin Film Festival, New York Film Festival and AFI Fest.

Santigold’s a Master Of Make-Believe BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7FM

O

ne of my buried treasures of the year is Santigold’s Master Of My Make-Believe, which came out earlier this year. I’ve meant to write about it previously but, like I said, it’s a buried treasure. Santigold is basically singer Santi White, her writing partner John Hill, and a revolving cast of studio musicians, but it’s White’s voice that makes listening to Master Of My Make-Believe such a pleasure. Her vocals bounce along with the rhythm of each song, whether it’s downbeat electro-pop, dubbed-out reggae or grimy electronica. The album was produced by a myriad of cohorts, including Dave Sitek from TV on the Radio, über-producer Diplo and A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, among others, and the stylistic difference is obvious but the album as a whole is cohesive. The production values are dense and danceable and dangerous. Strangely enough, White’s favorite band is The Smiths, and there are nods to eighties-

hat can you say about Paul Thomas Anderson’s extremely ambitious new film The Master? If all the post-screening conversation among audience members is an indication, then you could say a lot. Beautiful, extremely intense and at times completely baffling, the movie will not be for everyone but at the same time it demands to be seen. Anderson is one of America’s great auteur film directors and any new project of his is ‘must see’ viewing and The Master is certainly no exception. Distinctive in style and subject material (Boogie Nights to There Will Be Blood), Anderson this time has crafted a stunning view of a cult and the relationship between the ‘master’ and his disciples. Anticipated as an exposé of scientology and

She nicks a line from Prince’s “Little Red Corvette” in “The Keepers” and slyly throws in a Talking Heads reference for good measure. There’s no other singer like Santi White; she can coo like Gwen Stefani, taunt like M.I.A., and roar like dancehall queen Patra. The lead-off track “Go!” pairs White up with Yeah Yeah Yeah singer Karen O, but it’s her voice that reigns throughout. With Master Of My Make-Believe, Santi White can now cast aside any negative comparisons to M.I.A., for it is now Santigold that rules the dance floor. tws

its leader, L. Ron Hubbard, the movie just uses this similarity to Scientology’s origin as a jumping-off point for a tangled story of teacher and pupil. The real story of this film is the level of performances delivered by its two leads, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix as, respectively, teacher and student. Phoenix’s, for one, is a level rarely reached by an actor and is sure to be the frontrunner for the Academy Award. Playing an affected post-World War II veteran and a severe alcoholic searching the American landscape for anything, Phoenix transforms himself into a hunching, barely intelligible whirlwind of fire and brimstone. In an unforgettable scene, he decimates a jail cell in mostly one take and in one of the most memorable tour de force screen explosions ever seen. Hoffman is toe to toe with him but it’s a hard act to follow. even though he brilliantly plays the great man. The intensity of their attraction to each other may not be fully understood but their attention to craft is unforgettable. tws

Dutch Oven adds bam, from page 1 last year. “They come to your tent in the morning with a hot towel, hot coffee and hot chocolate. And in the middle of the day they haul everything off the boats and create an outrageous lunch—everything from hamburgers to soups. I love their shrimp, their giant scallops, their decadent chocolate things. They’ve even made ice cream for us,� said Joan Dermody. Annie Lentz said she had to learn a new way of cooking—namely, Dutch-oven cooking—when she married Steve 18 years ago. She quickly learned you can cook anything you cook in conventional ovens using the leather-glove cuisine of coal

black cast-iron ovens. The secret is placing coal briquettes along the rim of the oven lid with just a couple in the middle. It takes about 24 briquettes for a 12-inch oven for a recipe that would bake at 350 degrees in a conventional oven. “Dutch-oven cooking just fills camps with wonderful aromas, from the cinnamon rolls and sticky buns you cook in the morning to the herb breads you bake in the afternoon,� she said. “And it’s easy to take family recipes and reproduce them in the Dutch ovens.� As the years pass, Lentz continues to elevate the food experience, buying organic and local.

t’s a species of goosefoot, a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, a chenopod closely related to beets, spinach and—yes—tumbleweeds. Originating in the Andes of Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru, it was revered by the Incas, who considered it sacred and called it the “mother of all grains.� And quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is something that Kat Vanden Heuval has fallen in love with. “My husband and I fell in love with it on backpacking trips because it gave us what we needed in the way of protein,� said the Hailey woman. In fact, quinoa has not only the most protein of any grain but it’s a source of complete protein. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and calcium, making it a godsend for vegans, those following a gluten-free diet and those who are lactose intolerant. Vanden Heuval, who works for The Hunger Coalition, paired up with Kathryn Guylay of Nurture—a non-profit organization offering nutrition education— last week to present a workshop spotlighting quinoa. “It s important to get protein in every meal, especially with kids,� Guylay said. “Protein regulates blood sugar.� Boxed quinoa has been prerinsed; non-boxed quinoa needs to be rinsed for several minutes. Cook it like rice, bringing two cups of water to boil with one cup of grain and simmering it for another 10 to 15 minutes. The cooked germ looks like a tiny curl. You can use it in place of oats for a breakfast food, slow cooking it overnight into an apple pie porridge with apples, nuts, raisins, honey and other goodies. Or try it as a main meal with a Tex-Mex flavor (see recipe below) or Indian-flavored meal with curry. It cooks fast in a slow cooker, turning easily to mush. So, for best results, cook broth, veggies and protein on low for six to seven hours, then add the quinoa at the end and turn to high for one to two hours, advised Guylay.

Kathryn Guylay fields questions during a Healthy Eating workshop put on by The Hunger Coalition and Nurture.

Other tidbits that came out of the workshop: • Oats in this country are cross-pollinated with wheat. So, if you’re a true celiac, you can’t eat oats. • Corn is not a vegetable—it’s a grain. • A half-cup of orange juice has 22 grams of sugar, contrasted with a Snicker’s bar, which has 29 grams of sugar. The sugar in orange juice is not necessarily bad, said Guylay, since it is a naturally occurring sugar. But it’s something to keep in mind. “Raisin bran contains more sugar than bran, but it’s a naturally occurring sugar from raisins,â€? she said. • For a low-sugar treat, try a Kashi TLC cookie, which has 8 grams of sugar—just a tidbit more than a serving of strawberries. A Cinnabon, by contrast, has 55 grams of sugar. “You don’t have to ban treats—just eat everything in moderation,â€? Guylay said. • Those who believe they’re going to get healthier on a gluten-free diet may find their insulin levels raising because of the use of substitutes like potato starch. High insulin levels can be a precursor to diabetes. • You can substitute coconut oil for butter in recipes like apple crisp for someone who’s allergic to milk. • An easy way to remind kids

etchum turned into a street cart motherlode Friday night as a few hundred people took part in the third annual Restaurant Walk. The Restaurant Walk, which kicked off the third annual Sun Valley Harvest Festival, brought some of the town’s top chefs out onto the sidewalks as they served up nibbles for pedestrian diners who walked off the calories they consumed. Rickshaw’s Nina Jonas and Andreas Heaphy served up pork shumai—a traditional Chinese

dumpling—with a refreshing tamarind ginger cooler. Vincent Carpenter accented cups of butternut squash soup highlighted with roasted apples and brandy with a dot of cardamom outside Tranquility Teahouse. Sayvour’s Nadina Keller and Martha Avila greeted diners with sparkling rose Shirley Temples in little bottles that hung in tiny trees and were topped with chocolate-covered strawberries. Tom Nickel served up fire-grilled Idaho pork tenderloin topped with an apricot-jalapeño sauce outside The Sawtooth Club. And Scott Mason shoveled

Sun Valley has more fine dining than Boise and you can tell a lot of restaurants really put some thought into what they’re serving. I’m taking notes on the restaurants we want to go back to.” The Beekman Boys gentleman farmer Brent Ridge took pictures of the Pork Belly BLT at il Naso

for the blog he shares with fans of “The Fabulous Beekman Boys” TV show on The Cooking Channel. “I just want to tell our fans how beautiful it is,” he said. “This is the first time we’ve been in Sun Valley and we went up to Stanley and, wading in the streams—it was refreshing. And the Restaurant Walk is fun, too—we haven’t done anything quite like this before.” Healthy fare abounded. Glow Live Food Café served up meatless meatballs made of basil, walnuts, flaxseed and Italian herbs and spices. John Beriker

sun valley harvest festival tastes and soundbites

Serving Entertainment and Education STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

W

ho knew a chef’s demonstration could be so exciting?! Dallas chef John Tesar held up an octopus in the air, its threefoot tentacles wriggling a bit in the breeze that blew through the tent outside Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Then he dropped it in a skillet on the grill. Immediately, flames roared and the smoke alarm hanging from the top of the tent began ringing. Tesar didn’t miss a beat. He transferred the octopus to a pressure cooker and proceeded to educate his audience on the benefits of pressure cooking. “We can cook this octopus in 15 minutes whereas it would take two hours without the pressure cooker,” said Tesar, a former “Extreme Chef” contestant on The Food Network. “When it’s finished, don’t release the steam immediately. Let it sit for 20 minutes for the steam to dissipate. That intensifies the flavor and locks in the moisture. If you need to move quicker, immerse the pressure cooker in cold water to cool it off.” Between 100 and 150 foodies sat at the feet of a variety of chefs Saturday as the third annual Sun Valley Harvest Festival offered up five chef demonstrations. Audience members peppered the chefs with questions, even as they vied for door prizes offered by Ketchum Kitchens. And, when each demo was completed, they got to sample what they’d seen cooked, including tasty Butternut SquashFilled Lasagna Rolls prepared by The Fabulous Beekman Boys; Octopus, Toasted Idaho Potato Gnocchi, Salsa Verde, Chorizo and Celery Hearts served up by Dallas chef John Tesar, and Lamb Chops with Roasted Garlic and Fig Chutney prepared by Seattle’s CRUSH chef Jason Wilson. “This is one of the pleasures of living here,” said Ketchum’s Leslie Rego, who attended with her husband Del. “We get to enjoy things like this without having to drive long distances and then try to find parking.” The Fabulous Beekman Boys were as entertaining as they were instructive, describing how they turned an empty farm in Sharon Springs, N.Y., into a working farm with 80 goats a farmer who’d lost his farm brought them after they lost their jobs in the 2008 downturn. “When life hands you goats, you make goat milk,” quipped

Culinary students at the College of Southern Idaho concocted mint and orange macaroons that they filled with candied chili pepper and vanilla buttercream to match the colors of the Sun Valley Harvest Festival logo.

Josh Kilmer-Purcell. Now the gentlemen farmers grow 110 heirloom vegetables, raise cows and pigs and have a llama that has 10,000 Facebook followers, thanks to his notoriety on their reality TV show, which just got picked up by The Cooking Channel. They also have “The Beekman Heirloom Cookbook,” in which they’ve updated favorite family recipes. For instance, they found a way to incorporate kale into Mom’s mac and cheese recipe when they suddenly found themselves with hundreds of pounds of kale. “Recipes need to be delicious, simple and made with easyto-find ingredients. If not, you won’t do them over and over,” said Brent Ridge as he touted all the one-bowl recipes they have in their book. Tesar, who will appear as a contestant on “Top Chef” this season, exhorted audience members to cook by instinct, demonstrating that as he rolled potato gnocchi with his fingers. “You can’t just open a book and cook by recipe. You must always taste the food as you cook,” he said. “A dish doesn’t need a teaspoon of salt to taste good. You throw in the salt it needs to make it taste good. A cookbook is merely a guide.” Chef Jesus Gonzales, who authored a gorgeous cookbook about cooking at Rancho La Puerta in La Jolla, Calif., described how he marks salmon on the grill and finishes it in the oven (375 degrees for 8 minutes) so it cooks evenly. He opts for baby arugula, he said, because the mature stuff is too peppery. He touted goat cheese for lactose-intolerant people. And

he sang the virtues of coconut sugar which, he said, is similar to brown sugar but with a low glycemic index. Seattle’s CRUSH chef Jason Wilson showed attendees how to make lamb sausage using such high-tech tools as Saran wrap. “Things have changed here. Now you can get raspberries and herbs in the Main St. Market grown 20 miles away. You couldn’t find that when I first came here 12 years ago,” he added as he demonstrated several different ways to cook lamb. The festival attracted foodies from as all over the country, including a couple from Texas who attended portions of it during what was their first visit to Idaho. Andy Remais of Boise attended the cooking demonstrations while her husband biked up Baldy. Then the two of them attended the Wine Boot Camp and Martini and Caviar Party together. “I’m an alum of the Aspen Food and Wine Festival. I like these things,” said Remais, who has been to all three Sun Valley Harvest Festivals. “Me and cooking demonstrations go way back,” said Danny Bailey, who divides her time between Sun Valley and a home near Lake Tahoe. Renoir Finizio of Hailey attended with three friends. “We like to cook—Lisa has to cook because she has a family,” she said, pointing to Lisa Hoskins. “When I shop, I shop on the fringes of the store—I haven’t bought processed food for years. So I like coming to this and meeting the different people and seeing the chefs in person.” “I bought The Fabulous Beek-

The soil is extremely volcanic, there’s great runoff from the mountains and the sunny days and warm nights all make for a good potato.”—John Tesar, who is coming out with a Kitchen Confidential-type book titled “The Life and Times of Jimmy Sears” that offers a retrospective of the restaurant industry cooking over 35 years from New York to Las Vegas. “Your sourcing and ingredients are everything. Your dish is only as good as what you use in it.”—John Tesar, former chef at The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek and soon-to-be-chef of Spoon Bar & Kitchen seafoodfocused fine dining establishment in Dallas. “Anyone know the difference between winter and summer squash?

Beekman Boys. “Don’t follow my recipe, please. I never do.”—chef Jesus Gonzalez, former chef at Golden Door spa in Escondido, Calif.

Beekman Boys

The Fabulous Beekman Boys gave audience members a sneak preview of their upcoming gig on “The Amazing Race,” which will air Sept. 30. Participating in the race means not sleeping for 50 hours and sometimes not eating because the show is as apt to give you a $1 stipend as a $50 stipend, said Brent Ridge. You never sleep on the airline because you’re always watching to see whether the other contestants are pumping flight attendants for information and you’re jostling to be the first off. And you have to be able to find a taxi to get to the airport from the middle of nowhere at 2 a.m., using a language you’ve never heard of, he added. The worst part? “When they say, ‘Your teams will now make their way from Budapest to South Africa,—well, you actually have to do that,” said Josh Kilmer-Purcell. tws

Comfort Food: Roast Pork, Sage, Corn and Potatoes BY MARGOT VAN HORN

F

resh Hagerman corn is still on my mind, and I did note that—on sale and for a good price in our markets—was pork loin roast, so here you go: Roast Pork with Sage, Corn and Potatoes Makes 6 servings or more Ingredients: 2 Tbsp. minced garlic (fresh is better) 2 Tbsp. minced fresh sage leaves (fresh is definitely better but you can use 2 tsp. dried sage if fresh is not within your realm) 1 onion sliced thin (optional) Salt and pepper to taste Medium-sized baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes 1 or 2 ears of corn (kernels cut off from fresh husks or frozen kernels, if necessary)

2 Tbsp., plus some, olive oil 1 (3-4 pound) pork loin, bone in, or 1 (2-3 pound) boneless roast

Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, fresh sage, and salt and pepper. Place potatoes (thinly sliced onion, optional) and corn in a Pam-sprayed, ovenproof dish large enough to hold the pork as well. Toss the potato/corn mixture with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and about 1 tsp. of the garlic-sage mixture. Place the dish with the potato/ corn mixture in the 425-degree oven while you prepare the pork. With a thin-bladed knife, make slits all over the pork and then, WITH YOUR FINGERS, insert most of the remaining garlic-sage mixture. Take the hot dish with the

potato/corn mixture out of the oven and nestle pork into the mixture. Pour a bit more of the olive oil over the roast and then spread the rest of the garlic-sage mixture over the roast. Place roast nestled in the potato/corn mixture in the 425degree oven for 25 minutes. Turn oven down to 325 degrees and remove dish from oven; gently, with tongs, remove pork roast to a platter; stir the potato/corn mixture in the dish because some of it may be sticking to the bottom; and replace roast nestled in the potato/corn mixture. You can pour a little more olive oil on top of roast if it looks a bit dry, or, if there are pan juices, baste the pork with them. Replace roast dish in 325-degree oven and continue to cook for about three-quarters of an hour more. Start checking the meat by inserting an instant-

read thermometer. It should register 145 to 150 degrees F. when done. Don’t let the roast overcook; pork tends to dry out rapidly. When you think that the pork is just about done, take the roast out and place on a warm platter. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. In the meantime, look at your potato/corn mixture and test to see if everything is done. I bet it will be. Add 2 or 3 tsp. of red wine vinegar and stir well. If the mixture needs to brown/crisp a bit more, turn up the oven or even turn on the broiler and let brown/crisp then. Once again, watch carefully that it doesn’t crisp too much. I serve my roast on a pretty platter surrounded by the potato/ corn mixture and edged with thinly sliced tomatoes and some parsley to add more color. Tomato goes with this very nicely. A crisp white wine will go

perfectly with this dish. Bon AppÊtit! For easy access and printing of this and past recipes, visit Margot’s blog http://blog. tempinnkeeper.com Call Margot for personal cooking help at 7213551.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, Things are piling up at my house. Last winter I told my wife we should go through the piles in our garage and attic and hold a yard sale. She said we should wait until spring. Well, spring came and went. Now it's a year later and things are piled even higher so I'm trying to encourage my wife to clean out again. She insists that we should wait for spring because holding a yard sale outdoors in the winter months would be "ridiculous". She says no one would come if it were freezing outside. We need to clean out desperately. I'm afraid that spring will once again turn into summer, then fall and we'll have piled our garage even higher for the next year. Please help me convince her that holding a yard sale in the winter isn't that bad!

• • •

Carry: After 15 years of mar-

riage, I've learned the #1 rule to a happy marriage: "Your wife is always right!" Cash: And in the case of holding a yard sale, she has a valid point. Winter yard sales, at least in the north, tend to have a lower turnout than those held in the

spring. People barely want to go to the grocery store in the cold, let alone shop at a yard sale. Carry: However, before your wife gets too excited about postponing yet another year, the cold should never stop you both from cleaning out. In fact, the winter may be the perfect time to get started. Cash: If your garage and attic are truly piled high, you may need a few weeks to organize your things and set up for an outdoor sale. By the time you're ready, the weather will be warmer and more appealing for a yard sale. Carry: Even if it is still chilly, you could hold the sale in your garage or home where it is warmer. Placing a good advertisement in

the newspaper and using signs around the neighborhood will still get you a great turnout. Cash: Regardless of the weather though, it seems your main goal is to clean out the garage and attic. If that's the case, consider donating your unwanted items to a local charity. You could also advertise more expensive items separately in the classifieds. There is no reason to postpone until spring. Carry: Of course, after 15 years of marriage, I've also learned rule #2 to a happy marriage: In the rare case your wife is wrong, refer to rule number #1! •

Do you have a question or funny story about the classifieds? Want to just give us your opinion? Email us at: comments@classifiedguys.com.

Many of us choose where to live based on the weather or climate. That's why January of 1977 surprised many people. That winter ranked as the coldest to date east of the Mississippi River, averaging 4 to 6 degrees below normal. In fact, 64 cities in the U.S registered their coldest or second coldest January. No one was more surprised than residents in the south. During that month, residents of southern Florida (in cities like Miami) watched snow fall for the first time in recorded weather history.

Finding Fault

Although many couples don't like to admit it, everyone has an argument or disagreement from time to time. The important thing to remember is it can be a normal part of a healthy relationship. Arguments help share your feelings, release tension and instill trust in your partner. According to psychologists there are four guidelines for effective arguing: Don't attack the worth of your partner, avoid creating conflict simply because it's stimulating, don't “go for the throat� in your arguments and try to achieve emotional closure at the end of the disagreement.

Reader Humor Cops and Robbers

Every year a group of police officers from my department get together and have a weekend garage sale to support the children's hospital. This year, there was one woman who caught our attention. As she roamed around, we all noticed she was grumbling about how high the prices were on all the items. We sent one of our nicest officers over to assist her. "Officer, I'm glad you're here," she said firmly. "You need to arrest these people." Slightly taken aback, the officer inquired, "Why is that, ma'am?" Waving an item at him, she replied, "'Cause these prices are robbery!" (Thanks to Detective McKay)
