For The Weekly SUN

oin The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault at the Fourth Annual Walk the Walk, a community-wide march and rally to increase awareness of domestic violence prevention, 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Farmers’ Market lot in Hailey. Walk the Walk is sponsored by The Advocates in connection with Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In 2011, The Advocates is commemorating 20 years of working to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault in our communities through education, shelter and supportive services. Walk the Walk brings to life the old adage that we cannot fully understand someone else’s experience until we have walked in their shoes. Just a few hours of time participating in community events such as Walk the Walk can make a lifetime of difference in building awareness. This free, family-friendly event is designed to give citizens, businesses, clubs and teams a fun and festive opportunity to participate in domestic violence awareness and prevention. The community march begins at 11 a.m., and The Advocates have high heels to wear for those who dare! Participants can carry company/team banners and wear company/team T-shirts. The Advocates will acknowledge participants on their website, Facebook page and in any post-event news. Between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Frank You Very Much — Home of the Slaw Dogs — is generously hosting quarter-pound gourmet hotdogs with all the trimmings with a drink and chips for just $6 (kids for $4). There will also be music by DJ McClain, as well as T-shirt decorating, goodie bags and guest speakers. Family violence is a learned behavior that impacts the entire community. The Advocates receives 30 requests for assistance each day. Domestic violence is the number one cause of homelessness for women, children and teens. Hailey Mayor Rick Davis has proclaimed the month of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and encourages citizens to work together to eliminate domestic violence within their community. Each year, The Advocates helps over 500 women and children build safe lives, and reaches more than 4,000 students and community members to promote messages of safety and prevention.

he South Fork of the Payette River was on our right as we drove into Grandjean. I realized that we would end up following this river almost to its headwaters. This river could be renamed River of Many Waterfalls. It seemed after every few miles there would be another beautiful cascade. Joy and I were headed into the Sawtooth Wilderness for a week. We would end up at Pettit Lake after almost 40 miles of trekking into the Wilderness area. In six days we would run into only five people and that was mostly on the first day. This trip is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of planning. We would experience weather extremes from freezing to 90 degrees. We would climb over a 9,200-foot pass (over 4,000foot elevation gain). We had to be self-sufficient for seven days. No calling 9-1-1 here or running out to the store for more supplies. Organic backpacking food provided us with food for the trip. A lightweight tent and down sleeping bags kept us warm at night. The right shoes are so important here. We both used lightweight running shoes for the trek. Ardeth Lake was our first major stop — we spent two nights here. We were at 8,200 feet elevation and this lake is one of the jewels of the Sawtooth Wilderness. We had the entire lake to ourselves. Joy had found a huckleberry patch on the way to the lake and had caught several trout at the lake. Fresh huckleberries, trout baked over the fire — it doesn’t get any better than this. Edna Lake was our next stop where we again had the lake to ourselves for two days. And we again had fresh trout for dinner. One of the luxuries we packed in was a solar shower. It was wonderful to have a hot shower at our layover stops. We had originally planned to hike to the end of Redfish Lake but we were running out of fuel (and t.p.), so we elected to exit at Pettit Lake instead. From there, we hitchhiked to Redfish Lake, where we picked up our truck. We ended our trip with a hot shower, a meal at Redfish Lake Lodge, and listening to live music on the lawn in front of the lodge. Next year will find us doing another trek into the Wilderness area. We’d like to remind you to enjoy this beautiful area, which is in our backyard. tws About the Authors:

‘Patagonia Rising’ by Scott Douglas, tonight PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

D

eep in the heart of Patagonia, Chile, flow two of the world’s purest rivers-the Baker and Pascua. Fed by vast glacial systems, these freeflowing watersheds drive biodiversity in temperate rainforests and estuaries. And they are also the life source for Patagonia’s most tenacious residents—the gauchos, South America’s iconic cowboys. Now those rivers are threatened as a Spanish company attempts to build five large hydroelectric dams on their waters. And a Hailey man has been so moved that he has produced a film exploring the possible consequences. Scott Douglas, a writer and former co-owner of Sun Valley Trekking Co., will show that film, “Patagonia Rising,” at 7 p.m. tonight at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey in coordination with the Ketchum office of the Idaho Conservation League. Admission is $10 at the door

and will include refreshments and a discussion with Douglas. Douglas, who has spent a lot of time trekking and kayaking in Chile, said the area is the gauchos’ last holdout. But many will have to relocate if the dams are built. “This is one of the biggest purest watersheds in the world,” said Douglas, a first-time filmmaker. “This was the Wild West—it was difficult to get to. Now roads are being built everywhere. It’s a frontier story of water and power and it raises questions about the viability and sustainability of a big hydroelectric project like this” The hydroelectricity that the dams would create would be almost 2,000 miles from the existing grid, Douglas said. The Spanish company wants to build them to supply electricity for copper mines 2,000 miles from the gauchos. “That area, in contrast to the mostly rainforest of Patagonia, is some of the highest driest desert in the world,” he said. “It has

great potential for geothermal, solar and wind energy.” Douglas’ film features some English. But it also interviews Chileans in their native language, supplying subtitles for those not well versed in Spanish.

As a result, Douglas said, its showings in Chile are affecting debate within the country. The Spanish company bought Chile’s water rights during a dictatorship, the film points out. The company now owns 80 per-

Annabelle’s Story: the Tale of a Rescued Lamb Longtime locals Patty Healey and Nancy Williams rescued an orphaned lamb on the Fourth of July, 2010. Following is an account of their rescue and Annabelle’s first year:

STORY AND PHOTOS BY PATTY HEALEY

T

he Fourth of July 2010 brought us to a hike in a canyon and a yearlong journey not to be forgotten. A lone bleat led us to a lamb left behind in the vast expanse that was this canyon. We were both uncertain of what we heard but were convinced that it was something in need. It was a plaintive bleat that only a young lamb would make‌ delicate, inquiring‌ a single, lonesome “ehhhhhh.â€? The sound was coming from a deep ravine, down amidst a thick mass of brush and brambles. l was unable to continue down the trail and ignore the sound of that helpless creature; l had to take a look. So I scrambled down through the aspens and willows and, looking around, l saw it—a tiny grey lamb no bigger than a house cat. In utter surprise, I shouted back up to Nancy, “It’s a baby lamb!â€? At the sound of my voice, the lamb bolted, scampering awkwardly on spindly legs through the downed brush and branches. I had one good chance to catch it, and l did. Carefully grasping it with one hand, it immediately submitted to my hold. I was amazed at how little it weighed, and cradled it gently, its speckled legs dangling over my arms. Walking back to the car, the

lamb was completely passive as I hugged it close and it nuzzled my bare arm. I was touched by its newborn appearance—barely a foot tall, with a grey fuzzy layer of short, tight wool over its gaunt and bony frame. Back at the car, with the lamb still in my arms, I suddenly had the realization: Well, now what? What have I just done? I didn’t have the facilities for a lamb, and didn’t know where to take it. Who could I call? And then I knew: the Samples—longtime friends with big hearts and lots of land. Upon arriving home, I called Linda Sample and said (in near panic), “I just found a lamb on my hike. Can you take it?� Linda hesitated, and then said, “I need a minute.

and becoming more dehydrated by the minute. Springing into action, we rigged up a bottle of warm milk and attempted to persuade the lamb to nurse, prying its mouth open gently with our fingers, enticing the lamb to at least taste the milk and, hopefully, take in enough to sustain it. We knew the lamb had mere hours to “get it� and begin the precarious process of survival. After some time of intense, brief oversight, I departed, knowing the lamb’s fate was in the able hands of friends and, too, that its chances were as good as they could possibly get. With the help of knowledgeable friends Thelma Cameron and Scott Castle, and a life-saving, around-the-clock commitment of bottle feeding, the little lamb began to show encouraging signs and she began to improve, then become visibly stronger and, finally, to thrive, gain weight and grow. Annabelle was named about two weeks later when we were all certain of her survival. She had her own little house that included a nest of straw, a warming light and a large stuffed lamb donated by Sydney Kate, Linda’s granddaughter. Soon after she was named, I drove out to see the progress

It took a while, but now the two lambs (that is, sheep, as they both now weigh in excess of 150 pounds!) are the best of friends and roam the Sample compound with complete freedom. tws

Land Trust House on Nat’l Register

The Wood River Land Trust has received notice that its historic Hailey office has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a program administered by the National Park Service. The home was nominated under the name of the Fox-Worswick House and dates of historical significance are 1880-1910. The original lot was purchased by C.B. Fox from John Hailey for $25, and ownership changed hands six times between 1885 and 1919. It was purchased by the Land Trust in 2001 from the Hunter Nelson estate. The exterior and interior were carefully restored to a turn-of-the-century appearance, and Land Trust staff moved into the offices in 2003. Now that the Land Trust building is listed on the National Register, the intersection of Bullion Street and Second Avenue is a Hailey historic crossroads. Each building on the four corners of the intersection (Episcopal Church, Masonic Lodge, Burke residence, in addition to the Land Trust building) is listed. A pamphlet called Hailey Historic Crossroads has been produced and is available at the Land Trust office and from the Hailey Chamber.

This Year’s Harvest Festival Scores Big PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

“I thought it would be a fun chance to eat at Ketchum restaurants. I live in Bellevue so I don’t eat up here that often.�

T

omatoes. Toe-maw-toes. This juicy red fruit was among the stars of the second annual Sun Valley Harvest Festival over the weekend, as dozens of foodies crammed into a tent outside Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge to get tips on how to use bountiful tomato harvest. “Not a surprise. People have a lot of tomatoes right now!â€? said Sherry Propst after watching Chris Kastner roast tomatoes before turning them into Grilled Tomato Soup. The Festival kicked off with Friday night’s Restaurant Walk. A few hundred people turned out for the event, enjoying a warm evening and burning the calories they nibbled as they strolled to and from 15 restaurants. They savored an array of interesting nibbles--from the Cornerstone Bar and Grill’s buffalo wellington en croute made with wild mushrooms and topped with a huckleberry compote to Dashi’s crispy Berkshire pigs head pork lollipops with pickled cherry crème fraiche. Il Naso served up an interesting deconstructed Italian BLT that featured seared pork belly, oregano aioli, butterleaf lettuce and local heirloom tomato on an olive oil cracker. And Roosevelt Grill doled out tender SnakeRiver Farms Kobe beef grilled flank steak topped with Argentinean chimichurri and Thai basil. Cory Spackman talked his mother Brenda and his grandmother from Boise into enjoying the walk with him. “I thought it would be a fun chance to eat at Ketchum restaurants,â€? he said. “I live in Bellevue so I don’t eat up here often.â€? “There were a couple restau-

Outside, chefs showed off all kinds of cooking tips and cooking recipes at cooking demonstrations held all day. Sun Valley Chef Vinny Carpenter and Dashi’s Taite Pearson both showed how to cut baby tomatoes in half by laying them on one lid and putting another lid over them before slicing between the two lids.

expense of basil. “Not many people put butter in pesto, but I do to give it a creamy texture.� -- Chris Kastner, of CK’s Real Foods in Hailey Just a tidbit—1 teaspoon or so—of honey added to a recipe using blackberries helps elevate the natural sweetness of blackberries.—Chef Sam Talbot, a New York chef who does a lot of menu planning for diabetics. Always start with a hot pan. Never add even oil to a cold pan.—Chef Sam Talbot, who own The Surf Lodge in Montauk, N.Y. Smoke strawberries for a fruity herbaceous flavor.—Chef Sam Talbot, chef for Imperial No. 9 in New York City. You can cut basil two days ahead without it browning, as long as your knife is razor sharp.—Chef Chris Kastner, CKs Real Foods Use the greens of radishes in salad.

2011 Fall Car Care Guide Keep Your Vehicle Chillin’ rather than Illin’

W

Protect Your Investment O

ctober is Fall Car Care Month. We know your mobile investment matters and we’re proudly presenting this guide to you to showcase how local businesses can help meet all your fall car care needs. Open this section and you’ll find info about tune-ups, repairs, tires, insurance, fuel coupons, windshield repairs and more. This section is intended to help you gear up for the approaching cold weather months, when vehicles need a little more TLC than the rest of the year. The Car Care Council (CCC) recommends taking care of simple maintenance now to avoid costly repairs down the road. Extending the life of your vehicle is a good financial move. Rich White, executive director of the CCC offers this reminder, “By simply budgeting the equivalent of just one car payment, you could cover and entire year’s worth of basic maintenance. Fall Car Care maintenance includes checking the oil, filters and fluids, the belts and hoses, brakes, tires and air conditioning. The council also recommends an annual tuneup and wheel alignment. Don’t stop protecting your investment. A free digital Car Care Guide can be found on the CCC’s website at www.carcare.org/car-care-guide. The guide is available in English and Spanish and includes information of service interval schedules, questions to ask a technician and tips to drive smart and save money.

ith the sun shining and the air conditioning cranked to the max, it may be hard to imagine how you or your vehicle will feel when it is below freezing. As the seasons change, however, it is time to think about getting ready for rain, snow, and ice because safety on the road becomes even more critical during the winter months. There are also proactive measures that you can take now that will save money while increasing the vehicle’s reliability and value no matter what Mother Nature unleashes. Maintenance Records If you have not already recorded oil changes, tires, or other vehicle work that was completed during the spring and summer, now is a good time to get your log updated. This will enable you to reflect on the vehicle’s performance over the last few months. You should also review the previous winter’s records to see how the vehicle fared. Having organized and accurate maintenance records does not just earn you a gold star; it provides the documentation you need to procure a higher sales price when you trade it in or find a private buyer. And even when you still own the vehicle, this record will provide an easy checklist to consult when the weather changes. If your record keeping leaves a lot to be desired, there are services that you might consider using that provide these helpful reminders and maintain a realtime log on each of your vehicles, which can help you get ready for the winter.

Safety First Tires are one of the most important places to check on your vehicle in preparation for winter because they will be coming into contact with all sorts of hazardous road conditions. Here are some suggestions: * Make sure they are in shape or replace them with a set of special winterized tires. * Check your vehicle’s alignment, especially if you have added a new set of tires or changed out a couple of them. * Ensure that the tires have the proper air pressure because this is what will provide you with good handling and traction control when it is most needed. It is critical that this pressure gets checked because the colder weather can cause contraction of the air within the tires, which can drastically alter the pressure without you even realizing it. Don’t sacrifice tire performance and your safety on the road! * You may need to consult your owner’s manual to guarantee that you have the right tires and pressure for winter driving conditions. Select a tire that has a tread that can hug and hold the road beneath the vehicle no matter what the conditions. * This is a good time to check that your snow chains are in good working order and within reach so you will not be stuck somewhere in the snow without them. In terms of safety, it is also important to replace the wiper blades and top up the coldweather wiper fluid, so that you can keep your windshield free

of debris and other things that might inhibit your view while driving. Also remember to test and replace interior and exterior bulbs. Lights are essential when visibility is reduced during blinding rain and snow storms. Looks Count Too! Wet weather, snow, salt from the roads, and mud can harm your vehicle’s beautiful paint and, even worse, begin corroding its undercarriage. Here are a few suggestions to prep the exterior of your vehicle: * Start with a good detailing job on the interior and exterior during the autumn months. * Protect the vehicle’s exterior with a special wax to minimize the effects brought on by harsh conditions. * Use a heavy-duty window cleaner to remove all the dust and debris from the summer road trips. * Complete the process with a paint sealant that goes over the wax coat as an extra layer of defense. Despite the bad weather, your vehicle will still want to shine and you want to make sure that you do not have to shell out on a new paint job in a few years. Performance Boosters After being run under the hottest conditions, your vehicle must shift gears so that performs well under some of the coldest ones. Your car will need to work harder to get started and maintain optimum performance when temperatures plummet below freezing. There are a number of check-ups to be done

Tune-up Q&A

Chillin, from page 9 under the hood: * Check your battery and charging system, which will be strained once the cold weather starts. * Switch to a low-viscosity oil or synthetic oil because these oils can handle the severe cold and boost your vehicle’s ability to still get revved up quickly. Be sure to check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendations. * Examine all filters and hoses to make sure there are no leaks or cracks that will inhibit the vehicle. * Consider replacing antifreeze, which must be done every two years or 30,000 miles, because this will also affect vehicle performance. Unique Winter Challenges Winter means unique challenges, so you can plan well for these situations: * Make sure your care heater and defrosting system are working. Look over the vehicle’s thermostat and coolant level to make sure that the engine will be able to warm up properly. You may think that the coolant level is only important in the summer, but it can actually inhibit the performance of your heater. * There are times when you might get stuck so it is important to have your vehicle stocked with warm blankets, flares, gloves, a shovel, a de-icer, a crank radio, snacks, and first aid kit. Take Care of Your Vehicle and It Will Return the Favor While there are specific requirements that your unique vehicle may have, the tips mentioned in this article provide an overview of some of the most important maintenance actions to take in the winter months. Taking care of your vehicle now means that it will return the favor by getting you home in the next rain storm or snow flurry. Being careful and proactive about the maintenance of your vehicle will ease your mind as you and your family can safely navigate the harsh tws weather.

wanted to get a tune-up on my car and I called around to get some prices. The dealer quoted me 4 hours of labor to do the job. Another mechanic told me they charge a flat rate fee unlike the dealers. What is the difference? The mechanic that I chose only charged me for two hours, not four. It’s easy to see that when you call around for an estimate you can get some pretty dramatic price differences. Many larger shops and all dealers that will charge an hourly price for each job that is listed in a shop hourly manual. For example your tune-up might have an estimated repair or replacement time of four hours in the shop manual. This time is calculated using the shop hourly rate {i.e., 4 x $60}. Pretty straight forward, right? Not all the time. So what do you get for the four hours of labor? If you call most shops and ask for a tune-up price they automatically figure in the price a fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, PCV filter, and distributor ignition rotor plus all applicable labor charges. So the price would probably be much higher than a shop that only replaces spark plugs as their tune-up package. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples when you are calling around for prices. Some shops purposely give low-ball telephone estimates just to get you in the door. Example: You call to get a price for a new radiator installed. Does the estimate include new antifreeze, a new radiator cap and taxes? Some would automatically figure these items into their estimate, not only because they want to do a nice turn-key job, but also because they don’t want to have to sell you parts later on that they already know you will need. There are also different brands of shop manuals on the market, so a car dealer might be using a different laborestimating guide than your local repair shop and most independent shops would be using. Let your mechanic know why you are requesting a tuneup in the first place. Oftentimes, if the car runs poorly or differently than normal, the customer often automatically asks for a tune-up. Cars these days are very sophisticated and full of computers and sensors that can cause your car to act strangely. So a tune-up might not fix the problem, and a proper diagnosis from the mechanic could be tws beneficial.

Reducing the Look of Age and Wear on Your Vehicle for Maximum Resale Value

Y

ou may be at a crossroads with your vehicle. It could be that you have fallen out of love with it and have your eyes on an upgrade. Or, it might be that you have had to come to terms with the fact that your current vehicle no longer suits your lifestyle, i.e., your bachelormobile does not have room for a car seat and stroller or your sports utility vehicle does not deliver the cost-effective ride that goes with your long commute to that new job. Having possibly skimped on the TLC to your current vehicle, reality has set in that you will not get much as a trade in or for a private party sale. The dilemma is what to do on little time, a minimal budget, or both. You may have passed through the room while your other half was watching those shows on the home and garden network about how to add value to your home before you try and sell it. Well, many of those very same tips can be applied to your vehicle when you are ready to trade it in. There are quite a few of simple improvements that you can make to your vehicle that will make it more attractive and valuable for re-sale purposes. Time-Saving Tips You may have a very busy lifestyle and find it hard to fit in certain maintenance tasks that keep your vehicle looking its best. In fact, this is probably the top reason vehicle owners give when explaining why they have let their vehicles go without regular maintenance. While you may need to dig all

(on the corner of Main and Walnut, across from Hailey Coffee Co.) the pennies out from underneath your seats and then find a few other dollars to spare for these tips, time is saved and your vehicle receives more attention. The use of various mobile services is just one example of how the true value of service partners can be realized. For a fee that is usually substantially larger than going to the on-site locations of these service providers, they will come to your home or office any day of the week or time of day. These service providers include mobile car washers, detailers, oil change and vehicle repair teams, tinting and window replacement specialists, upholsterers, and entertainment system installers. What could be better than have someone else wash, wax, buff out scratches, and vacuum the interior of your vehicle while you

carry on working? Many companies will also pick up your vehicle while improvements or enhancements are being done and leave you with a temporary ride. These services save time as well as minimize the inconvenience of sitting at a shop while you are missing work, school or appointments. Budget-Savvy Solutions If you cannot afford to use such convenient services, there are other solutions that are bound to fit your budget constraints. * A good detailing job—polish, wax, paint touch-up, wheel cleaning, and an interior spring cleaning—on your vehicle can add the “curb” appeal that will raise resale value and provide a substantial return on your investment.

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

do many of the detailing projects yourself or you can take it into a car wash and detailing location. These projects should cost about $100 if you are taking it into a shop but less if you buy the products yourself and supply your own labor. * It is important to get any major dings or dents fixed and deal with rust, especially on the bumper. Prices range from $50 to knock out panels to $200 for bumper repairs and upwards depending on how much needs to be straightened out and if any re-spraying of paint is necessary. * Broken, cracked or chipped windscreens should be fixed. This will be noticed immediately and may pose a hazard. This may cost a few hundred dollars based on the type of windshield. * Tires with worn or thin tread should be replaced. New tires will make the car more attractive and the potential owner will feel more safe and secure. * Worn interior seats, stained carpets, and muddy mats can easily be fixed and add a lot to the look of the resale car. * Mechanical issues should be dealt with as soon as possible, including oil changes and overall maintenance service, which can save you from having the vehicle come back to haunt you after you have sold it. * Make sure your maintenance records are up-to-date. If they are not, then take the time to reconstruct from receipts when you had repairs and oil changes. All of these suggestions may cost nothing to upwards of a few hundred dollars each but they all have one thing in common— these solutions will add double or triple the amount to the value of your vehicle. It is well worth the time, effort, and money to apply these to any vehicle you plan on selling. Treat the New One Better After you have traded in your remodeled vehicle to the dealer or sold it to a private party, it is time to take a whiff of that new car smell and mint-condition drive. As you leave the showroom, the best thing you can do is to make a promise to your new “baby” that you will take better care of it. One suggestion about getting off on the right foot with your new relationship is to use a lowcost service provider that can be your partner in taking care of this vehicle. Having a helper makes it that much easier to maintain the vehicle on a regular basis rather than waiting to the last-minute to implement all of the aforementioned solutions. Wouldn’t it be easier to have expense and maintenance tracking, service reminders, fuel economy reporting tools, recall alerts, and a repository for important vehicle information, such as insurance, warranties and trip logs? This kind of assistance would leave you with no excuses about lack of time to take care of your vehicle because, essentially, there is a partner who is doing most of the work for you. As a busy multi-tasker with already too much on your plate, it pays to use some of the mobile services listed earlier in this article when and if your budget allows. All of these tips are worth their weight in gold in terms of helping you maximize the investment you have put into your vehicle—from the purchase agreement to the monthly payment coupons to the repairs and car washes. When the status report on your resale vehicle comes back as excellent rather than average, you know that it really did pay to take care of it! tws

Is Eating Healthy Enough? BY ROYCE BRUNETTE LIFEWORKS CHIROPRACTIC

id you know that U.S. adults walk an average of 5,177 steps a day, while Australians walk 9,695? That U.S. men take more steps than women (5,340 versus 4,192)? And that Americans who walk 5,000-plus steps per day are 40 percent less likely to develop a precursor illness to diabetes, and those who walk 10,000-plus steps per day are 72 percent less likely? As the weather gets colder, people retreat into the warmth of their cars and, consequently, take fewer steps. This fall and winter make an effort to stay healthy and give the environment a break. Here are a few tips: It’s freezing outside and that five-minute walk to the post office doesn’t seem so close. Instead of driving, throw on some warm clothes and brave it. Thirty minutes of activity each day is the minimum amount recommended for an average adult. These little errands can add up. Consider alternative transportation. Bike, ski, take the bus — you’re bound to walk more to and from the bus stop than you would in a car. If you live close, walk. Only 10 percent of U.S. children walk to school regularly, and of those that live within a mile of school, only 25 percent walk regularly. Find a friend. It’s always easier to do things with the people we enjoy. Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat? Contact the ERC at ERCbeat@ercsv.org or 726-4333. tws

any of us have come to an understanding that what we eat greatly affects us. Stores have: organic, hormonefree, GMO-free, free-range, natural, no artificial, etc. With so many options it becomes difficult for families to choose these and stay within their budget. However, an investment in our health reduces potential risks and illnesses, thereby saving money and promoting good health for the future. For a while we had our own egg-laying hens, an organic garden and connections with a rancher who had free-range sheep and cattle. Access to such great food was a blessing, but even with all this we still needed to get items from the store, thus tainting our food supply. What about that garden, too! We used ‘treated’ water known to have toxic chemicals, even lithium and Prozac! I don’t want to turn this into an article seen as propaganda; however, we must be very wary of our food and water supply. Hippocrates, known as ‘The father of medicine,’ said it best with “Let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food.”

He understood how health was about balance and believed regular body work, a restful night’s sleep, having a variety of food and exercise—but not in excess (he promoted walking)—access to clean water and air, use of ‘potions’ sparingly when needed and, lastly, in times of illness, first look to the spine. This may sound like a modern idea, yet Hippocrates was practicing and teaching these simple truths well before Christ. Now, within the past 100 years, our food supply has become heavily tainted with chemicals and our water is not as pure and clean as we believe it to be. The use of medicines (potions) is frequent and sometimes unknowing. Hippocrates taught that symptoms are our bodies telling us something needs to change. If your

‘check engine light’ comes on, do you put black electrical tape over it and consider it fixed? No, of course not; you take it to a mechanic. Our body is very similar. When we have pain, we need to be analyzed and have corrective changes made to regain a better sense of balance. A lot of this is within our own control if we listen to our innate intelligence. Covering up symptoms is not addressing the underlying issue. Let’s follow Hippocrates’ advice and allow our body the opportunity to be healthy. Beyond his gentle and unique chiropractic care, Dr. Brunette also uses Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) which combines his understanding of anatomy, physiology, neurology, kinesiology and biochemistry to actually identify and correct underlying causes of disease as opposed to suppressing symptoms. NRT is an empirically based advancement that is systematic, individualized and effective. One NRT session is only $17 and is completely customized to you. Sherry, Dr. Brunette’s wife, is an amazingly gifted professional massage therapist who is intuitive and provides a full package. Together, it is their vision and goal to help their community ‘Live In Full Expression!’ tws

Changes to Stanley Transfer Station

The Custer County Commissioners and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area would like to announce changes made to the Stanley Transfer Station. Changes made to the station are the new addition of a roll-off dock. The new dock will offer a more efficient system for users and waste haulers. The roll-off will increase the capacity for the transfer of solid waste from the Stanley site. All solid waste will be accepted but residents should keep in mind that all waste must be hauled to the facility in Salmon. Dirt, rock and concrete will no longer be buried at the transfer station. Commissioner Wayne Butts would like to remind residents that there is a burn pile still available at the site for yard debris and branches. Questions/concerns please call Barbara Garcia, 208-774-3034 or Commissioner Butts at 208-833-2332.

verybody rush to the drugstore because if the new movie Contagion is correct Purell might be the most indispensable product on the planet. The film portrays the mother of all pandemics and no one is safe. Except for Matt Damon, who plays the film’s everyman, and who finds his life overturned when his wife and eight year old child are two of the first stricken with the rampant virus that threatens the world. With a strange twist of irony Gwyneth Paltrow (the woman you love to hate) is patient zero having contracted the virus in Hong Kong after a dalliance with her lover – punishment enough for cheating on Damon. In Steven Soderbergh’s new semi-thriller no one is immune

to the rampant virus except for the few lucky ones, like Damon, that are immune. Fitting firmly into a genre that was launched in the sixties with The Andromedia Strain and later with Outbreak worldwide death and destruction to society can be a compelling story. Unfortunately in this movie the story isn’t as riveting as those two films and the audience is left with a feeling that they haven’t gotten their science fiction ya-ya’s out. Soderbergh certainly tries, primarily loading the cast with a bevy of stars including Laurence Fishbourne, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Elliot Gould as the scientist that eventually breaks the code. The cast is great but they have some making up to do with the script by Scott Z. Burns that doesn’t fully lock you into the suspense or the science fiction aspect of it. But it sure can be trouble. Society can break down and all hell can break loose. Fear can take over and man can turn against man. Too bad Contagion just doesn’t do the job of making all these things tangible. tws

Valentino Achak Deng, one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan,” whose life story is fictionally portrayed in David Eggers’ New York Times best seller, “What is What,” will speak at 7 p.m. on Oct. 3 in the auditorium at The Community School. During this free community event, which is open to the public, Valentino Achak Deng will discuss his life story and struggles of South Sudan. Deng was born in Marial Bai, southern Sudan. In the late 1980s at the age of seven, he fled Sudan during civil war when government-armed militia groups destroyed his village. Along with thousands of other children, he confronted hostile militia, aircraft bombers and wild animals during the trek across three deserts. Hundreds died during the ordeal. In addition to the public lecture on the 3rd, Deng will spend a day with students at The Community School on October 4th, followed by a reception and fundraiser for his foundation that evening. For more information, please call Melissa Elkins at The Community School, 622-3960, ext. 105.

student spotlight

Sutton Soars BY JONATHAN KANE

V

alley native and Wood River High School senior Sean Sutton has lived in the same house out East Fork his whole life. “The big plus,� he said, “is that I live halfway between Ketchum and Hailey. The only problem is that I don’t live near a lot of my friends. But this is the greatest place in the world to live. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I never could have asked for a better community to grow up in. Because we’re such a small town everyone here is practically family. It’s not like in the city. Here when you wave to people they wave back. It’s like they say – ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ When I think about it there is no downside to this place especially when you live so close to the mountains and the lakes and there is so much to do here like snowboarding and rock climbing. Why would you want to be anywhere else?� This summer he had the rare opportunity to visit Africa when his church went on a mission trip with their youth group to Zambia. “The purpose was to serve others and to show that they are loved by other people. We broke into two groups when we got there and led a Bible vacation study group. This means that we matched up Bible study with games and other fun activities for the kids and they really took to it. But what stood out the most about Africa was the widespread poverty. Everywhere you went people were asking for money or to trade for food. Many people are living on the streets

and they’re happy to have what they have. Here everyone’s upset because they don’t have something. When you look at where we live its pretty eye opening and also shows how spoiled we are. The whole thing was an absolutely incredible experience but I was still happy to get back home.� Back at Wood River Sutton prepares for his senior year as student body president, which he was elected to his sophomore year. “The last two years have been to prep for this one. You need to know all the functions of the school and what you’ll be doing. Your main role is to be head of the student union which means you put on all school dances and pep assemblies as well as co-coordinating all volunteer projects. Some of the things we did are to help the Food Coalition with their corporate food drive and we also ran Coins for Kids last Halloween to raise funds for the youth of the valley and we raised quite a bit. When elected, I rapped my speech for the student body. It was real interesting because I felt many of the kids were apathetic to school government and don’t really care about what you’re promising to do. I thought I’d give them something to remember. I really love being the president and part of the school and being able to help your fellow students out. I guess it’s an honor but I wouldn’t say it’s an ego boost. I just think it’s an honor that students thought so highly that they elected me.� For anyone that meets him it’s not really a surprise that his classmates would feel that way. tws

Former Blaine County Teacher Pens Harassment Book

P

hyllis Hendrickson, a former Blaine County School District teacher, has penned “Hey, Back Off!� Hendrickson, who now lives in Twin Falls, wrote the slim paperback with Jennie Withers of Meridian to help teens and their parents spot bullying, understand the law, stop being a victim and even blow the whistle on themselves when it’s warranted. The text is sprinkled with questions for discussion, and assignment pages include spaces for notes and answers.

Virginia Hutchins, features editor for the Twin Falls TimesNews, says, “The writing is straightforward and the stories easy to relate to, but this is no breezy read. It seems best suited for a deliberate program of learning in a classroom or at home, over a period of weeks or months. Many teen readers might need a little prodding through the book’s lesson sections, but it’s worth the effort.� The authors plan a book signing at 1 p.m. Oct. 22 at Barnes & Noble in Twin Falls. tws

Community School is proud to announce seniors Camille Bourret and Robert Henry Rickbeil have been named Semi-finalists in the 2012 National Merit Scholarship Program. The nationwide pool of Semi-finalists, which represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of Semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of graduating seniors. These talented students have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,300 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $34 million that will be offered next spring. To become a Finalist, a Semi-finalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test. National Merit Scholarship winners of 2012 will be announced next year.

Sudoku: Gold

Long-Term Care Insurance, One Size Doesn’t Fit All O ne thing we can all agree on is that no two people are exactly the same. Your plans for retirement probably aren’t identical to your neighbors’ plans, or maybe even your spouse. And, how your retirement is funded is probably different as well. One similarity many of us will share, however, is the need for long-term care. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ booklet, Medicare & You, 2011, about 70 percent of people over age 65 will need long-term care services at some point. If you or your spouse is one who needs care, will you be prepared? Unfortunately, the need for long-term care can affect any of us. Although factors in your personal medical history can make you more or less likely to require care, no one can predict when an accident or illness will strike. But by planning for the possibility of needing long-term care, you can be prepared. Many people believe the government will take care of their long-term care expenses. The government, however, has made it clear that they will not cover the majority of long-term care costs. In fact, Congress has tightened the financial requirements to qualify for Medicaid, the federally and state-funded

program for those who live at or below the poverty level — and, recently rolled out a nationwide long-term care awareness program called “Own Your Future” which encourages people to better understand and plan for long-term care. Fortunately, many insurance carriers are offering long-term care insurance — insurance designed to cover you, should you face a long-term care need. And, although individual policies do share some of the same characteristics, many have been designed to be customized to meet specific needs. The first thing to consider is where you want to receive care. Most policies offer coverage for care provided in both facilities and at home. For many people, staying at home is the first choice if a need for care arises. The next factor to consider is how much money you will need for long-term care. Although expenses vary geographically, according to a Prudential 2010 Long-Term Care Cost Study, the national average is $247 per day—over $90,000 annually. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services reports long-term care costs are increasing at a rate of 5.6 percent per year. To help combat that, many policies offer inflation protection which allows your coverage to

grow each year. In addition, you can choose how long you want to wait before benefits begin. This is called the waiting or elimination period and can range from 0 to 180 days (think of this as the policy deductible); the shorter the elimination period, the higher the premium. There are also a variety of riders, offering a return of your premium if you don’t use coverage, or allowing spouses to share benefits. Riders add to the premium of the policy, and it’s important to determine if the coverage will help you meet care needs specific to your desires and if it is worth it in your particular situation. With all of these choices, it can be easy to put off planning for long-term care. The longer you wait, however, the more you will pay for coverage and the harder it will be to medically qualify for coverage. Your best bet is to talk to a long-term care specialist today. He or she will be able to help you compare policies and select the best choices for you — and your budget. It’s all about tws planning ahead.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I must admit. I am a packrat. So when the car could barely fit into the garage, I knew I had to do something. That's when I made a deal with my 13 and 14year-old sons. I told them that if they cleaned out the garage and had a yard sale, I would give them the money. I figured they'd make enough for a new bike or a video game. I never expected them to make almost $1500 on the sale. Not only did they overprice everything, but they became little sales demons. People bought almost everything. Now what do I do? I can't set them loose with that kind of money. Any ideas?

Cash: First, you might want to

make sure you still have your car in the garage. Considering their new-found talents, you never know. Carry: It sounds like your children may have a successful future in sales. Maybe you discovered a way for them to pay for college. Cash: Your intentions were great. Getting children involved in the yard sale process can be a great experience for them. Not only does it motivate them to help clean out the garage, but it's also a

Fast Facts Cashing In

Since most schools don't offer a course in personal finance, children are left to learn how to handle money from their parents. Recent studies show that American teenagers spend more than $100 every week. Those spending habits may not be preparing them for the future. The number of consumers under age 25 that file for bankruptcy has increased significantly in recent years. Maybe we could all use a course in money managment.

great way to teach them about the value of a dollar. Carry: Or in their case, the value of $1500. Cash: We agree that it is not a good idea to give $1500 to two young teenagers. That is a lot of money for them to have and they may not have the skills to manage it yet. Carry: However, you also don't want to go back on your word. They did earn the money and taking away their payoff will not build trust with your children. Cash: The best approach would be to commend them on a job well done and help them with manag-

ing their earnings. Since you anticipated they would earn enough for a bike or video game, limit their spending to that amount. Carry: Then, help them open a bank account with their name on it. That way they can still experience ownership of the money, and you can help manage how it is spent. Encourage them to save for a goal, like buying a car when they get older or helping to pay for the insurance. Cash: And considering how successful they were with the garage, maybe you should have them work on the attic!

Money Tree

As the saying goes, "money doesn't grow on trees." However in 2005, one man found out that a tree could have a credit card. Fed up with receiving credit card applications, a California man signed up "Never Waste a Tree" for a card in hopes it would signal the company to stop sending applications. To his surprise, the company mailed him a card made out to the fictitious name, "Never Waste Tree". Although he cut up the card, it seems almost anything these days can have a credit line. •

Reader Humor Priced to sell

My teenage son is quite the prankster. Late one Friday night, he gathered a bunch of junk from around the neighborhood and put it on my neighbor's lawn. Then he posted a sign out front that said, "Yard Sale." Sure enough, at 7:00 am there were people knocking on my neighbor's door waiting for the sale to open. He was so annoyed that he called our house and left an angry message. When I arrived home that day, I immediately went over to apologize for my son's behavior. "I can't believe my son put all that junk on your lawn," I apologized. "That's quite alright," my neighbor replied rather calmly. "It turns out I made $200." (Thanks to Billy G.)

510 thank you notes The family of Shane Erickson would like to extend a heart-felt thanks to all who supported the Cancer Fundraising event for Shane Erickson on Sept 17 at West Magic Resort. The following companies donated prizes: Glenn Carter Designs, Albertson’s, Wise Guys Pizza, The Bear Claw, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Burger Stop, Grumpys, Woodside Motor Sports, East Magic Bar & Grill, Bigwood Movie Theater, Rocket Car wash, Ski-Tek, Lefty’s Bar & Grill, AmericInn, Bigwood Fitness, Christopher & Co, The Wood River Inn, Thomas Plumbing, Zenergy, The Tanning Service, Silver Creek Outfitters, Applebee’s, Sno Doze Snow Removal, Scott Winter Sport, Mountain Valley Drywall & Remodel, Ozzie Shoes, Growing Concern, Video West and a HUGE thanks to West Magic Resort for all their support and hospitality. Don Hartman and Stacy McLaughlin from West Magic Resort Resort made this whole event a big success. Thanks also to Shane’s friends who donated prizes: Jenice Hawley, Helen Finley, John & Maria Donnelly,

Courtney, Billie Grubb, Rich & Bab Saighman, Dee & Marlys Ivie, Stacy McLaughlin, Don Hartman, Bump from Mahoney’s, Ron & Wendy Bernard, Tessa Bradley, Rick & Lorraine Underwood, Angela Cassedy, John Slimp and thanks to all who purchased tickets. Your support is greatly appreciated. As a close family friend of two of the veteran’s mentioned in the article, “Idaho National Guard Ceremony Observes 9/11,� printed Sept. 14, 2011, I would like it to be known that those two veterans had already received military honors at their funerals earlier this year. Due to a heartbreaking series of miscommunications a “crowdless� ceremony was held on 9/11/11. The families would’ve attended the Group honors with pride and appreciation that their loved ones were being remembered by a military honor guard, had they known it was taking place. Please let it also be known that our community and its families do care about our veterans and the military. Thanks so much Duane and Deida Runswick for bring Mana Inez back to Ketchum (on Main Street, right next to Rico’s). You’ve done an absolutely innnnn-credible job with that often shamelessly wasted/abused retail space, your staff is great, and the food as superb as it’s ever been at Inez (stand-outs for me include the Jim’s, Deluxe and Colorado burritos, the Crab & Shrimp Monterey, and the Baja Tacos). Awesome job, guys! Thanks to everyone who made that recent tri-cities “Business After Hours� get-together at Friedman Airport such a stellar success!! I was more than little surprised --and humbled -- by just how many vendors turned out there that day (despite a lackluster economy), happily giving away free food and/or drinks to anyone who wanted ‘em. Yet another radiant reminder of just how lucky we all are to live in this amazing Valley!!
