The 5th Annual Walk the Walk will start at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Farmers’ Market lot in Hailey north of Sturtevants on Main Street. Businesses, clubs and teams will receive recognition for participation on The Advocates’ website and Facebook group page. Craig Campbell will provide live music. There also will be T-shirt decorating and other family-friendly activities, along with quarter-pound gourmet hotdogs with drinks and chips for $6. Kiddie dogs with chips and drink will be available for $4. Walk the Walk was started with the idea that we can’t fully understand someone else’s experience until we have walked in their shoes, said Jan Super of The Advocates. Family violence is a learned behavior. The facts: • Children are likely to be physically assaulted in 86 percent of homes with partner violence. • In Blaine County, there are approximately 5,000 children under the age of 18 and, statistically, 22 percent, or nearly one-quarter of them, are likely to be living with domestic violence. • In Idaho, there were over 6,000 cases of family violence last year. • In the U.S., between $3 and $5 billion is spent on medical expenses related to family violence. Businesses forfeit another $100 million in lost wages, sick leave, absenteeism, and non-productivity due to domestic violence. • Domestic violence is the No. 1 cause of homelessness for women, children and teens. Each year, The Advocates helps more than 500 women and children build safe lives, and reaches more than 4,000 students and community

endy Pabich considers herself a “water diva” or “water keeper.” An environmental scientist who has taught for MIT, Pabich makes her living as a consultant on sustainable water use. So the Hailey woman was beside herself when she got a monthly water bill for 30,000 gallons of water after installing an irrigation system in her yard to remedy a yard that she acknowledges “was a disaster.” “I thought: if I can’t conserve water in my own house with all the training I’ve had, how can I expect others to?” the Hailey woman recalled, shocked over how her consumption had increased ten-fold. Pabich began systematically attacking her water waste, installing drip irrigation and low-flow fixtures, cutting down on the food she wasted, and more. She installed water meters so she could understand how much she was saving with each step she took. And then she wrote a book: “Taking on Water: How One Water Expert Challenged Her inner Hypocrite, Reduced Her Water Footprint (Without Sacrificing a Toasty Shower) and Found Nirvana.” The book, in the line of “Garbage Land: On the Secret Trail of Trash,” is $23.95, available at local bookstores. Pabich will discuss her book in a free presentation at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library in Ketchum. Marie Kellner, water associate for the Idaho Conservation League, will also be on hand to talk about what the ICL is doing to change water policy in Idaho. Far from a dry treatise, Wendy Pabich’s book brims with personality. Pabich, who traces her love of water back to growing up on the East Coast where she imagined herself a mermaid, writes of streaking across the lawn, risking being exposed to a neighbor as she took solar showers. She describes how she emptied her cupboards to determine the sum volume of the water used to produce the brown rice, quinoa, lentils and herbal teas she consumes. And she describes as she watched the water meter like a dieter obsessed with the scale. “Like a good nutritionist who identifies the big, fat Sloppy Joes in her clients’ diets, I had pinpointed the surpluses in our water use—the places where we could tighten our belts and, if we were smart about it, probably do so without much sacrifice,” she writes. “The washing machine was an extra helping of pasta, the toilets

“All these problems seem overwhelming…but if you reverse that thinking, you realize that each one of us can make a difference.” –wendy pabich

were rich with butter, and water leaks were nothing but empty calories….” Why care? Even if you ignore the extreme drought that has ravaged mid-America’s farmland, surveys suggest that by the midcentury, half of the counties in the United States will face water scarcity, said Pabich, who launched her book tour Sept. 16 in Colorado. The average American’s water footprint is 750,000 gallons of water per year— slightly more than the 660,000 gallons needed to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. A cup of coffee takes 37 gallons to produce, Pabich said. A pound of beef— nearly 1,600 gallons. An apple takes 18.5 gallons to grow; tea takes 5.5 gallons per cup. “All these problems seem overwhelming and you may feel that your individual effort is inconsequential. But if you reverse that thinking, you realize that each of us can make a difference,” she said. For instance, it takes 2,200 gallons of water to make one pair of blue jeans. So if enough people cut back on the number of blue jeans they buy, it could make a big difference, she said. So far, Pabich and her husband James have been able to cut their direct water use by half. “One of things I focused on was food waste,” she said. “With all the embedded water in food, it’s a shame to let it go to waste. So I’m making a much more conscious effort to not waste food. If I do throw it away, I compost it. But it’s better not to waste in the first place.” Kellner praised the book. “Wendy used her vast amount of water knowledge to change her daily household habits, and then wrote a book explaining how she did it and providing a template for what we all might do,” she said. “Additionally, I think she does a great job of weaving important water facts into her storytelling, making it really readable.” tws SEE A RELATED STORY ON PG 16 ABOUT HOW ONE LOCAL RANCH HAS CUT WATER USE 10 PERCENT

M

ost people take a hike and see some pretty fall foliage, cross a few gurgling creeks and quaff a good beer at the end. And that’s that. Not M. John Fayhee. Everything turns into a larger-than-life story when he goes hiking the Appalachian Trail, drifting through the air in a hot air balloon or even taking a whiz on a hillside in Silverton, Colo. And Fayhee recounts them all in his “Smoke Signals� column in the “Mountain Gazette,� a free magazine that celebrates mountain life. Now Fayhee, longtime editor for the “Mountain Gazette,� has provided expanded versions of some of those tales for his new book, “Smoke Signals,� subtitled “wayward journeys through the old heart of the new west.� Fayhee will read a few excerpts from the book at 6 p.m. Tuesday at The Community Library in Ketchum. “When I write my column for the Gazette, I have a 750-word hole to fill. But I write every ‘Smoke Signals’ as long as I want to tell the story. It may be 15,000 to 20,000 words by the time I’ve told the story I want to tell. I’ve taken a cross between the edited version and the original unexpunged version for this book. So about 50 percent of what is in this book never appeared in the Mountain Gazette.� Fayhee—so synonymous with mountain life—was actually born in the United Kingdom where his father was in the service. But he fell in love with the mountains when his father returned to a military base in New York near Montreal and the Adirondacks. He attended college on a tennis scholarship in southwest New Mexico in 1976 and has lived in mountain towns in Colorado and New Mexico, where he currently resides, ever since. He sharpened his pencil on his junior high, high school, and college newspapers, eventually hiring on at the Silver City paper in New Mexico. And he fine-tuned his love for the outdoors, hiking the Appalachian Trail, the Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. “I sat through more city council meetings than you can imagine and I was a contributing editor for “Backpacker� magazine for 12 years. The inspiration for the book was that I was not satisfied. And it was also economically driven since you don’t get paid much in the journalism business.� In fact, Fayhee published two books within 24 hours. One is “The Colorado Mountain Companion,� a book stylistically based on early-1700’s encyclopedic-type books which offered an aggregation of what interested the authors.

John Fayhee, will talk about his book Smoke Signals at The Community Library. COURTESY Photo

The other is “Smoke Signals,� which was published by Raven’s Eye Press and sells for $22. The book includes such tales as how he paddled across a crocodile-infested Dominican Republic lake in a leaky Zodiac, to crash landing in a hot-air balloon in redneck Appalachia. “It wasn’t like I was sitting in a plane seat looking for trouble when I got in a fist fight. I certainly didn’t engineer the bomb scare going to the Dominican Republic. And with the balloon crash, all of a sudden shit was hitting the fan,� said Fayhee, who appropriately kicked off his book tour at a bar in Crested Butte, Colo. That said, Fayhee admits that he occasionally “sort of set things up to happen� in a few cases, knowing he would later be writing about the experience. “And alcohol and drugs certainly add to the flavor,� he added. “I do enjoy making stories out of stories where nothing really happened. Like Silverton—where I ran into the giant Christ up on the hill when I had too many beers and went up the hill to take a piss. I like stories where the average person would never have come up with the line of thinking I came up with. That’s what separates the men from the boys in my profession— keeping your eyes and brains peeled constantly, constantly being on the plot.� A lot of the stuff being written about or filmed today is noise, Fayhee said. Someone snowboards off a cornice, so the next person snowboards off a cornice five feet higher. “What’s important in life is to think about it, philosophize about it and then articulate it. I want to remind people in mountain country, in ski country, that as we get older, you’re going to look back and hope you’ve lived an interesting life. I don’t have much money in my retirement account—I lived retirement in my 20s and 30s and now I’m having to work for a living. But I certainly have had an interesttws ing life.�

Fishing Campeche Mexico, Tarpon Town The Hemingway Chapter, Trout Unlimited, will host Southern Idaho Project Manager Chad Chorney from 5 to 7 p.m. this Thursday, October 4 at Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum. Have you ever wanted to catch tarpon on a fly rod? If so, Campeche, Mexico, is the place to go! This portion of the Yucatan offers perhaps the world’s best fishery for baby tarpon up to 30 pounds. This fishery is ideal for not only the beginning saltwater fly fisher, but for the seasoned veteran as well. Fishing in Campeche provides many opportunities to put your fly in front of tarpon; jumping 15 to 20 fish in a day and landing half that is not uncommon! In this presentation Chad will talk about the Campeche region, the fishery, gear and techniques, outfitter,

lodging and accommodations, and travel information. There will be plenty of time to answer questions, and Chad will also provide information on how to book a trip to Tarpon Town! For more information, call 6224613. Admission is free.

ardening is like interior decorating, or like running a retail store, both of which involve decor, design, color management, traffic control and periodic redesign. The same thing can be said of our lives— we can do it ourselves, and sometimes it’s done for us. Gardening magazines, the Vogues of horticulture, are always pushing the season’s hot colors, the ‘musthave’ new varieties. We not only re-invent ourselves, we re-invent nature. Some of us respond with the adage, ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!’ and we seek to preserve our souls. We collect antiques and eat heirloom tomatoes. Like races, conservation and progress continually mix with each other in a love-hate relationship. Gardens, especially one as wild as the Habitat, change themselves. Some things grow better than others, some are pushy and invasive; there’s migration and immigration. The space is dynamic, a lifeforce diorama. Then there is the gardener, always making ‘improvements,’ opening new plots, cleaning up a corner, letting the ignored join the mainstream. There’s a lot of social mobility here. Even though this is a natural space, leaving it up to nature doesn’t work. The one-third-acre area is small. Its location and soil will emphasize a few species at the expense of the rest. Some interfering is necessary. Now I do understand that human ‘stewardship’ (first proposed by, of all people, an environmentalist deity, John Muir) has a long and sorry history. Look no further than our river management and fire suppression practices. I do the best I can to work with nature. Every now and then I take refuge in the great hiding place for ignorance, laziness and misdeeds: the adage ‘I’m only human.’ Every one, and every society, has its can of worms. Every year, the Habitat looks different—’new and improved.’ I add new ground. There’s natural mortality, though, like postage stamps, perennials are not

forever. There are past mistakes that have to be corrected. This year, I’m moving unhappy plants, which are existing, but not thriving. I feel about plants as I do about humans—every one should reach their potential, if possible. (Is this a wise idea in light of all the sociopaths who have afflicted history?) What I thought was a small handful of plants is really about two dozen. This is what’s wrong with admitting ‘mistakes have been made.’ Now there’s a waiting list of plants with filed applications for relocation. Some of these are tall, bushy, eye-impact perennials like monarda, black-eyed Susans and coneflowers—tallprairie plants. Thirty years ago someone planted one blue-bearded iris. It grew into a clump, but it only produced one stalk, and one lone blossom. I divided it, fed it with bonemeal, and now I have hundreds of blooms every spring. Too much of a good thing. I’ve had to dig them up, thin them, add some new colors (white, pink, apricot and bronze), move one that’s choking a rosebush and, alas, throw some away. If this is a wild garden, why have them at all? Most people are not ideological purists, and they like them. After all, we’re only human. tws

Season Plant Extenders

P

rotecting plants in the fall is more difficult than in the spring, mainly because the plants are so much bigger. There is only one common method we can count on, that being to cover tender vegetation. Most perennials and woody plants have inherent characteristics that determine the minimum temperatures they can withstand before they experience irreparable winter damage. This is the basis for hardiness ratings. Many marginally hardy plants may need some form of protection to survive winters in Idaho’s short-season, highaltitude regions. Large shrubs or trees will need to be selected based on hardiness in Zone 3 or lower because it’s not practical to protect them. However, with a little work you can keep perennials and small-statured shrubs alive and healthy, even if they are marginally adapted. Winter protection usually involves some form of covering to avoid extreme temperatures. You can provide very effective frost protection by covering plants overnight with blankets, tarps or frost cloths. This technique has limitations because it leaves plants in the dark, and the cover must be removed during the daylight hours if continued growth is desired. Most herbaceous perennials die back to the ground each fall, so protecting them is relatively simple. Start by clipping the dead foliage down to a height of 1 to 2 inches (except ornamental grasses, which should be left unclipped through the winter), then cover the stubs with 3 to 8 inches of mulch. Remember, protective materials can be detrimental to plants if left in place for too long into spring. They can result in early growth or weak, yellow sprouts that are easily damaged by frost or wind once the protective material is removed. Remove protective materials after the severe cold of winter is past and just before the first warm days of spring.

rom loading up the SUV for the drive to the hill, to spending a day riding up the chairlift, skiing and snowboarding are far from sustainable sports. Luckily, some snow-gear manufacturers are offering eco-friendlier products. Choose from companies that use recycled products to manufacture their gear; Patagonia has been making fleece from recycled plastics, such as soda bottles and plastic shower curtains. REI also uses post-consumer products. At Nau, environment and ethics come first. A few ski and snowboard manufacturers are using recycled or renewable materials such as bamboo and paulownia to produce high-performance gear with less environmental impact; among these are Karhu, Venture, Arbor, Salomon, and Liberty skis.

Giant Squash Grown at Backwoods

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is embarking on a new “Growing Wellness” mission touting the value of plants in health under new interim director Stephanie McCord.

STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Sawtooth Botanical Garden is no longer just in the business of growing plants. It’s now in the business of “growing wellness.” The garden south of Ketchum at Gimlet Road and Highway 75 plans to construct a series of classes, demonstration gardens and lectures focused on the connection between plants and health. “We have a lot of new board members who are very organized and want to chart a new focus,” said Stephanie McCord, who recently took over as part-time interim director following the resignation of former executive director Kathryn Goldman. The first step will to clean out the greenhouse and reconfigure it to construct demonstration beds for growing herbs, teas and flowers used for wellness. The garden will sell the potted succulents, cacti and blooming plants currently growing there at a sale from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the garden. Money from the sale will help purchase plants for new displays and educational gardens. The plant sale will be followed by a Tai Chi lesson on the lawn starting at noon. Tai Chi, a form of internal Chinese Martial Art, is traditionally practiced for its health benefits and for defense training. Tai Chi lessons will be repeated from noon to 1 p.m. each Saturday through Oct. 27. Cost for all four classes is $45 for SBG members and $55 for nonmembers.

The garden will also have a booth at Webb’s Annual Harvest Festival in Bellevue from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The garden also plans to expand the community beds to emphasize this new focus, said McCord. “Right now we’re in the planning stages. We’re looking for any and all ideas from the community.” McCord introduced herself to the community a few years ago with a killer cornbread recipe that she entered at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s Harvest Festival. She since has served as events coordinator for the City of Ketchum, worked on the Kids Education Garden near Hemingway Elementary School while presiding over her company, Utopia Floral Design. She and her husband Al McCord will co-chair the Share Your Heart Ball, which raises money for Make a Wish and Camp Rainbow Gold, a summer camp for kids with cancer. tws

GROWING & GIVING

The Sawtooth Botanical Garden is looking for volunteers for its second annual Growing and Giving event on Saturday, Oct. 20. The garden is partnering with the Senior Connection to select five elderly or disabled homeowners who need help cleaning up their yard. Five landscape companies have volunteered to lead the effort with the help of volunteers from 9 a.m. to noon that day. A thank you luncheon will follow at the garden between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. To volunteer, call the garden at 208-726-9358.

G-Dog Film by Freida Lee Mock To Benefit the Hunger Coalition

Filmmaker Freida Lee Mock. BY KAREN BOSSICK

“N

othing stops a bullet like a job.” That’s the mantra of Jesuit Priest Father Greg Boyle who has saved 12,000 kids from gangs with his innovative methods. The Hunger Coalition presents the Sun Valley premiere of “GDog”—a film about Boyle—by Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Freida Lee Mock, a second homeowner in Sun Valley, on Oct. 13. The premiere, which will be attended by Mock and some of the cast members, will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Sun Valley Opera House. “G-Dog,” a film about second chances, stars the visionary Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries. The movie details his remarkable story as a Los Angeles Jesuit priest who spent 25 years in the toughest parts of East L.A., helping former gang members.

and employs roughly 12,000 kids a year looking for a new way of life. G-Dog was voted Top 3 Audience Favorite of the People’s Choice at this year’s “Hot Docs” Canadian International Documentary Film Festival. Robert Koehler of Variety called G-Dog “A movie that vitally captures an extraordinary character in extraordinary circumstances.” It is slated for theatrical release next year. Boyle, America’s leading gang expert, is a cultural icon who has been celebrated on TV shows such as “Dr. Phil” and “Tavis Smiley.” His story was also chronicled in The New York Times bestseller he penned, entitled “Tattoos on the Heart.” Tickets can be purchased at Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum and Wood River Motors in Hailey. General admission tickets are $10 per person. Tickets for the VIP cocktail

and dinner with the filmmaker and cast members are $50 per person. It starts at 5 p.m. in the Boiler Room and includes priority seating at the screening. The first 50 people to purchase VIP tickets will receive a copy of the bestselling book, “Tattoos on the Heart,” by Father Greg Boyle. All proceeds will go toward fighting hunger in the Wood River Valley. Filmmaker Freida Lee Mock says of the premiere, “I am thrilled to able to share Father Boyle and Homeboy Industry’s story in the film, G-Dog, with the Sun Valley audience. As a longtime second homeowner in the Valley, the fact that it is helping raise funds and awareness for all The Hunger Coalition does for the community makes it all the more special.” For more details, visit www. gdogthemovie.com or www.thehungercoalition.org. tws

Weighing Options for Dual Immersion The Blaine County School District offers students several exemplary programs, all of which are a direct result of continuous improvement and ongoing input from students, staff and parents. One of these programs is the 10-year-old Dual Immersion Program (DI), which the Blaine County School District (BCSD) is now reviewing to make improvements and create sustainability. Due to parental demand for intensive Spanish language instruction, the current enrollment for the elementary DI program has grown from 60 students in 2001 to more than 600 K-5 students in the current school year. At the September 2012 Board of Trustees meeting, the Board voted to pursue two options for the future of the elementary Dual Immersion program. Option 1) Create a magnet school at Woodside Elementary for Dual Immersion students and the approximately 150 non-DI Woodside students to Bellevue and Hailey.

Option 2) Maintain one classroom of Dual Immersion per grade level at each of the four neighborhood elementary schools. One class per grade of Dual Immersion would continue at Hemingway Elementary with either option. The meeting schedule for parents is: Wednesday, October 3, 6:00 p.m. at Woodside Elementary. The focus of the meeting is on Woodside parents but all parents are welcome. Monday, October 8, 6:00 p.m. at the Community Campus. The focus of the meeting is on Dual Immersion parents but all parents are welcome. Translation and childcare will be available at both meetings. Childcare is available by reservation at dkelly@ blaineschools.org or call Desiree Kelly at 578-5062. In addition to the meetings, all staff and all parents will have the opportunity to take a survey regarding the two options.

District Holds Techtoberfest for Educators The Blaine County School District will hold a two-day conference for educators next Thursday, October 4, and Friday, October 5. Techtoberfest is an opportunity for educators to try new technology. Over 80 sessions will give educators information on a wide variety of tech-related topics, including: Apps for Learning, Digital Citizenship, Twitter for Learning Environments, Kahn Academy, Digital Portfolios, and more. A session on appropriate use of technology for elementary grades is also included. “Techtoberfest is focused on how technology supports teacher instruction and enhances student learning,”

said Superintendent Dr. Lonnie Barber. Keynote speakers for the event include Dr. Ray Golarz, author of “The Problem Isn’t Teachers,” and Joe Morelock, Director of Technology for Canby School District in Canby, Oregon, whose keynote is titled, “The World is Our Oyster, the Oyster Is Us.” “Technology is moving so fast, teachers often don’t have the time to try new things. This conference is really about giving teachers the time and resources to try new things that will have an educational benefit,” says Director of Technology Tim Rocco.

Celebration for Bow Bridge Sunday STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

L

eslie Howa squinted as she sized up the 20-pound steel leaf that K&M Construction’s Erik Nilsen was about to hang from the new Bow Bridge. “I want to leave that end of the bridge free of leaves so you can see the tunnel of blue sky as you walk toward the wetlands,” she said. Lions Park has been a beehive of activity the past few days as Howa and others have built log benches, laid down a pathway of wood chips and prepared the new Bow Bridge for its official unveiling on Saturday. The Wood River Land Trust will hold a Community Celebration from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday with a fun run, refreshments, archery demonstrations, kids’ activities, music and nature walks. The focal point: The Bow Bridge, a beautifully crafted bridge built of Douglas fir in the shape of an Indian bow. Land Trust Director Scott Boettger believes it will become a cultural icon of Hailey. Already, Hispanic girls have taken their quinceanera pictures next to the bridge. And one young bride opted to have her wedding there. “It’s a great thing for the future, an improvement over the past,” said Stephen Gardner as he stood in the middle of the bridge last week. Howa, a competitive archer, designed the bridge in the shape of a recurve bow, with tips that curve away from the archer when the bow is strung to give the arrow more acceleration. “It’s as if the bow was dropped from the sky string-side down,” said Howa. “The Shoshones and

other Native Americans coveted and protected this land. Then, modern man came and trashed it. My inspiration was to create an image that is strong in Native American imagery with the idea that we’re giving this place back better than we found it.” A 16-foot steel arrow with 3-foot-long flexers stands point down several feet away from the bridge on the east side of the river. A rock dedicates the project to two Utah archers who served as Howa’s mentors. One of the men—Larry V. Smith—was paralyzed in a climbing accident as a young boy but still managed to teach others through the sport of archery. “Archery is a metaphor for all the good qualities you learn about life—stamina, patience, fortitude and humility. It makes you develop all those,” Howa said. The bridge spans 160 feet, connecting the Draper Preserve on both sides of the river. The Land Trust had it built an extra 20 feet long on each side so the riverbank wouldn’t be disturbed. “Originally, we had wanted a suspension bridge, but we don’t have the bedrock for a cable to tie into,” said Boettger. “We hired the same contractor who built the bridge on Warm Springs, because it was light and open and whimsical. But if it wasn’t for Leslie, it would just be a bridge.” Boettger said the beautification of the river site realized a dream he had when he moved to Hailey in 1997. The city had used the area as a dump dating back to the early 1900s. City workers had pushed trash along the banks and into the river to straighten an oxbow

to reduce flooding in the China Gardens neighborhood. Trash was still being dumped into the river when Boettger arrived. Except for the Lions Park ballpark, which was built there in the 1970s, the area was neglected—it wasn’t the type of place most people felt comfortable frequenting, Boettger said. The Land Trust began removing 600 cubic yards of material, including concrete, glass bottles, appliances and even a rusted Volkswagen, in 2001. In 2007 the Land Trust bought a property in Indian Creek to trade to the Idaho Department of Lands for a parcel along the river that the department couldn’t make income off of. And in 2008 the Land Trust volunteers removed noxious weeds and restored the wetlands, dedicating a boardwalk through the wetlands last year. “This is a river of green—a greenway—in a dry, arid climate. The wetland adds another biomass of species—the duck population it attracts in the evening is spectacular,” said Boettger. “This whole thing is a jewel that people don’t realize is here until they actually see it. There was a time that people were afraid to come here. Now they want to come here and

bring their guests.” The bridge connects the Lions Park area with the Draper Preserve and provides a half-mile corridor to Cedar Bend, an area of pathways beneath towering trees. It gives residents of Della View and other neighborhoods a way to get to Carbonate without getting in their cars. Residents of those neighborhoods will also be able to ski through the woods and over the bridge to access 8 kilometers of groomed Nordic trails this winter, said Jim Keating, director of the Blaine County Recreation District. The bridge was funded by an anonymous donor, built by the Oregon-based Western Wood Structures. Local craftsmen and artisans from Rocky Mountain Hardware, Galena Engineering, Taylor Made Woodworks and K&M Construction were involved to create a sense of ownership . Boettger declined to say how much the bridge cost. “But it was considerable—in the six-figure

A 5K Fun Run through Colorado Gulch and along the Draper Preserve trails is being organized by the Blaine County Recreation District and Shu’s Idaho Running Company. The first 50 people to pre-register at the BCRD on Friday will receive a free Sigg water bottle.

Maksik’s Book BY MARGOT VAN HORN

You Deserve Nothing by Alexander Maksik, 2011/320 pgs.

W

ell, I had to read it. First of all, I was amazed to have found out that THREE students of our Community School who graduated in the class of ’92 have become successful authors. Alexander Maksik is one of them and this is his first novel. Second of all, this novel had a taint on it because it is supposedly autobiographical and is classed as fiction. So if you look on the Amazon.com site, you’ll find comments from some very disgruntled students. For me, it turned out to be a fast-moving book that I had a hard time putting down. The subject matter was disturbing but I thought very well portrayed. I love Paris, so of course the setting for my taste was perfect. The story line in a word or two is about a very talented, bright and out-ofthe-box teacher of high school students in the “International School of France.” The teacher gets involved with one of his students. It’s a tale told by two students, and Will, the teacher. I thought that it was well written and that the author treated the subject matter in a very interesting manner. I would recommend it for a mature audience for their reading enjoyment. Give us your feedback at martws got6@mindspring.com

Bernston Belts it Out An ‘80s Kind of Girl

BY JONATHAN KANE

W

ood River High School senior Taylor Berntson is a singer by trade. To hear her say it, her passion for singing is all-consuming. “It’s what I live for,” she said. “I’m able to get into a great place when I’m singing and I feel so much more connected to the world. I guess I’m pretty serious because I think I’ll get my first wrinkles from the intensity that it takes. But I find myself always singing, like my mom, and it will be to any tune or even the television. My father is a gifted singer, too, and I’m not sure who I get it from but I’ve just been belting it out ever since. I even have hopes to audition for American Idol because I want to see if I can do it. I’ve been to see their tour twice and it was amazing.” Right now Berntson has no plans to also learn how to play an instrument. “I wish I could play an instrument but I make up for it with my singing and I just want to be as good as I can be, which right now is hard because of all the allergies!” As for her taste in music, it seems to fall into a particular decade. “I like everything, but I listen mostly to stuff from the eighties. I should have been born in the seventies. I have a lot of issues with music as I feel that it’s losing its meaning. I just love it if it has a beat, although I’m not real fond of rap. I’m all about the lyrics. If a song has great lyrics, but a weird beat, I still love it. There is a song for every mood that I’m in and only the song can understand it. There is a real connection.” As to her favorite singers, Berntson lists Rob Thomas, Gavin Degraw and the late Freddy Mercury, “whose voice was truly amazing and his short career so sad. I also like bands like Van Halen and other classic rock. My favorite song is Hotel California from the Eagles. If you look at my iTunes, almost half the songs are from the eighties and all my friends call me ‘eighties lady.’ I think that in a past life I was an eighties chick because there was so much to listen to. Maybe my dad was really

connected to it and that’s where it comes from.” As to practice, its three to five days a week at the crack of dawn for her role in the school choir, Colla Voce, for an hour. “But I’m always singing in my spare time and whenever I’m alone I’m really belting it out. It would also be awesome to be the lead singer in a band but I just don’t have the time—maybe in college.” Berntson’s hopes for that are to attend Colgate University in New York where she’ll be able to audition for three groups. “My mom went there and we took a tour of eastern schools and I totally fell in love with it. I think the size is perfect—2000 students—and I love the location and everything about it. I’ll get a lot of attention from teachers and that’s a good thing for me.” Right now, Berntson’s focus is on the school choir and her involvement in Colla Voce, which is the school’s best-known group and which is the all-girl jazz choir. It consists of fourteen girls. “I auditioned and got in three years ago. We perform all year long, but our big show is in the spring for three nights at The Liberty Theatre, and Christmas week we sing all the time. It’s okay because I love to perform. I’d much rather sing in front of a thousand people than talk. People say I seem so connected when I’m singing and that I really care about it. You can tell when someone is not enjoying it. People feel that I actually perform more than I sing. As to the future, I don’t really see myself pursuing it as a career. But if I could be in a singing group as an adult, that would be amazing.” That’s just the beginning of the amazing things that await this talented young woman. tws

movie review

Odd Couple

The Punch line

Jon rated this movie

I

BY JONATHAN KANE

t pains me to admit it but I shed some pretty good tears at the new French buddy film The Intouchables. What could I do? This is a good old-fashioned, feel-good movie with inspirational touches that’s designed to move you. And I’m not the only one, as the film has broken all French box office records and is considered to be the largest grossing non-English film of all time. This is despite criticisms that the story between a white man and a black man has severe racial overtones. I guess I was too busy being entertained to notice. Obviously, a lot of other people are being entertained as well. Of course, the really big reason for the film’s success is the performances delivered by the leads, which are marvelous. Francois Cluzet plays the disabled millionaire who has trouble hiring and keeping an aide. Omar Sy, in an amazing performance, plays the young black man who takes the job of the aide after applying for the job only to get credit from unemployment for looking for a job. The story of the Intouchables is the story of their uncommon bond and love for each other. The movie is based on a true story, although in real life, interestingly enough, the young man was Algerian – not black. Supposedly, the filmmakers changed his race to make it work for Sy, which was a pretty smart choice as he won the French equivalent of the Oscar for his performance. The actor dominates the screen with his vital energy and Cluzet equally holds his weight, only being able to play with his face as he is a paraplegic. The script, written by the directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano, is full of small, priceless moments which are character driven and therefore more real. The Intouchables may not be perfect but there is a reason it is so popular. tws

From Market to Table BY MARGOT VAN HORN

L

ate summer is still here and so are the very fresh veggies in the markets and the Farmers’ Markets. So, here is a pretty healthy and dietetic dish made with Egg Beaters, skim milk and low-fat mozzarella. It’s another easy one for the cook because it can be an overnight casserole. Summer Vegetable Strata 4 servings Ingredients: Non-stick cooking spray 1 medium onion, chopped 1 small zucchini, sliced 2 C. Italian bread cubes (1 inch) 1/3 C. shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese 1 C. (8 oz.) Egg Beaters 3/4 C. skim milk 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8-inch-by-8-inch baking dish; set aside.

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add onions, zucchini and bell peppers; cook about 6 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add bread cubes; mix lightly. Spoon into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with cheese. Beat Egg Beaters, milk, salt and pepper in a blender; pour over the bread mixture. Cover at least 30 minutes or overnight. Bake, uncovered, 50 minutes or until top is golden brown and knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into 4 squares to serve. NOTE: If you wish to substitute the non-fat ingredients for the “real” thing, that would be just fine. 1 C. of Egg Beaters is comparable to using 4 whole tws eggs.

Sheep Make USA Today’s Top Ten BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he world-famous Running of the Bulls is said to date back to 1215. The Trailing of the Sheep dates back just 16 years. Nevertheless, the Wood River Valley’s Trailing of the Sheep Festival was lumped together with the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, on Friday as “USA Today” published 10 great animal-themed festivals. The list included the Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, N.C.; the Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee made famous by Mark Twain; Woofstock in Toronto; the Pushkar Camel Fair in India; and the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival in Haines. It also included the Puck Fair in County Kerry, Ireland, where a wild mountain goat is crowned

King Puck, and the Monkey Buffet Festival in Thailand—it’s not what you might think… the monkeys get to snack on a huge buffet of stacked fruit. The link: http://www.usatoday. com/story/travel/destinations/ 10greatplaces/2012/09/29/10great-places-animal-festivals/1602507/ The festival has made its way onto top 10 lists since its inception, including that of America’s top destination festivals published by the American Bus Association. Huffington Post recently named it one of 10 Great Fall Festivals, including it with Killington, Vt.’s Hay Festival, which features larger-than-life hay sculptures, and the Woolly Worm Festival, which celebrates the fuzzy Isabella tiger moth caterpillar in Banner Elk, N.C. tws

financial planning

An Innovative and Powerful Way to Save for Higher Education BY LORI NURGE

W

ith the cost of college tuition and expenses rising at a greater amount than the rate of general inflation, planning for a child’s education may be the most important financial decision of your life. Establishing an investment program today can secure your child’s financial needs before he or she begins their college career. A 529 College Savings Plan may be the financial tool that can make the most of your savings for educational purposes. Planning for the Future A college student is faced with an extraordinary amount of college expenses. Tuition, room and board, books, fees, supplies, and equipment are just some of the expenses they’ll encounter for the duration of their college career. According to the College Board Annual Survey of Colleges, over the decade from 2001-02 to 2011-12, published in-state tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities increased at an average rate of 5.6 percent per year beyond the rate of general inflation. As the cost of college tuition and fees continues to rise at a steady pace, families must begin to plan earlier than ever for their child’s education. Why a 529 Plan? In the past, many concerned investors have used tools such as Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (formerly the Education IRA), mutual funds, and custodial accounts to save for their children’s or grandchildren’s college education. While these methods are certainly better than not investing at all, they do offer limitations. For example, Coverdell accounts have a low annual contribution amount and there are income limits that restrict who can invest in the plan. With a mutual fund, capital gains distributions and dividends are taxable every year. Even though custodial accounts are a common way to save for education, they are fraught with problems. For instance, once funds have been transferred into a custodial account, the funds then belong solely to the child. Once the child reaches the age of majority, the child takes possession of the assets and may do with them as he or she wishes. Also, custodial accounts are taken into consideration when calculating a student’s financial aid. A 529 College Savings Plan can be a powerful financial tool for preparing for future educational expenses. With this unique plan, investors can expect tax advantages and estate planning benefits currently unavailable with other education planning strategies. With a 529 College Savings Plan, assets grow tax-deferred, similar to a 401(k) plan or a traditional IRA. In addition, distributions for qualified educational expenses are federal tax-free. Investors utilizing a 529 College Savings Plan should know that non-qualified withdrawals are taxable as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and may also be subject to a 10 percent federal income tax penalty. Investors should discuss their particular tax situation with a tax professional. Unlike IRAs, individuals of all income levels can open a 529 College Savings Plan and multiple plans may be opened for different beneficiaries. There are generally no age or time limit

Lori Nurge

restrictions for the participant or the beneficiary. This allows grandparents, or other relatives, to contribute to the beneficiary’s education without being penalized. It’s also noteworthy that a 529 College Savings Plan can provide significant benefits in the area of estate planning. The plan allows an investor to contribute a lump sum of up to five times the annual gift exclusion ($13,000 for individuals; $26,000 for married couples) in a single year, with no gift tax due on the transfer. This amount (up to $65,000 for individuals; $130,000 for married couples) may be contributed to as many 529 plans as desired, provided there is a separate beneficiary for each account and no other gifts are made to that beneficiary, either directly or through a 529 plan, for five years. Contributions are considered a completed gift and are removed from the donor’s estate, provided the donor lives beyond the number of years for which the gifts were pre-funded. With a 529 plan, the account owner retains complete control of the account, including control of distributions, the ability to cash out the plan and access funds, and the ability to change the beneficiary. An added benefit to a 529 College Savings Plan is the increased maximum contribution limit. This can be extremely beneficial to the student wishing to attend a more expensive school or who plans to continue their education with graduate or doctoral studies. Investors interested in investing in a 529 College Savings Plan or mutual fund should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses before investing. The official program offering statement or prospectus, which includes this and other important information, is available from an investment professional and should be read carefully before investing. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original value. Take Action Now Providing for the education of someone you care for, while preserving your assets, is an obtainable goal. By working with a professional, you can establish an investment strategy for each of your personal financial goals. tws

Back Pain and Spinal Posture BY JESSICA KISIEL

S

everal painful back conditions – stenosis, disc bulge or herniation, spondylolisthesis and sciatica – are due to improper spinal alignment. Proper Spinal Alignment Consisting of 33 bones called vertebrae, the spine performs a delicate balancing act. The top eight vertebrae create the cervical spine, the next 12, the thoracic spine, and the lower five, the lumbar spine. At the base of the spine are the sacrum and coccyx, which are segments of fused vertebrae. The spine has three main curves: a forward or arching curve in the cervical and lumbar spine, and a backward or rounding curve in the thoracic spine. Between each vertebrae, with the exception of the very top of the spine, are cartilaginous discs that act as shock absorbers, joints with limited movement and ligaments holding the vertebrae in place. These discs are often likened to a jelly donut, with a vertebrae above and below a spongy center. Nerves exit from within the space between each of the vertebrae. From the spine, these nerves branch and extend

throughout the body. The Cause of Low Back Pain Back pain can result from increased pressure on the spinal nerves. This pressure can be caused by a narrowing of the space between the vertebrae by bone spurs, calcium or the vertebrae itself, which has slipped. The pain of stenosis and spondylolisthesis are due to these causes. Disc material from a bulging or herniated disc can also put pressure on the nerves causing pain in the back itself or pain that runs down the leg as experienced with sciatica. Regardless of the name given to the back pain, the cause is the same—an improperly aligned spine that is applying pressure on the nerves. In the examples of lower back pain above the lumbar portion of the spine, the spine has either lost its arch and become flat, or gone in the opposite direction into an exaggerated lumbar curve. Relieve the Pressure by Realigning the Spine To regain the space between the vertebrae and allow the discs to return to a neutral position between the vertebrae, the natural curve in the lower back must be re-established. Muscles create the posture of the spine

and position of the vertebrae. Addressing the muscle imbalances that are pulling the spine out of position will bring relief. The spine is connected from top to bottom and, if the lumbar vertebrae are misaligned, the upper sections of the spine will also be impacted to compensate. Excessive lumbar arch is often paired with increased thoracic rounding to balance the skeleton. Successful treatment will address the curves of the whole spine. To learn more about how to reduce your back pain through better posture, attend Jessica Kisiel’s Posture Fitness classes this month. Jessica is offering a class in Hailey at Resilient Body Pilates on Thursday mornings from 9-9:55 a.m. and at Zenergy in Ketchum on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11:05 a.m. to noon, open to both members and non-members.

Happily Ever After at Sun Valley Center for the Arts STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

F

airytales came to life in picture form and human form Friday evening as the Sun Valley Center for the Arts held an opening party for its new exhibit “Happily Ever After.” The party came complete with gingerbread men, candied apples and “poisoned brews” of rum and spiced apple cider. Courtney Gilbert and Kathryn McNeal dressed up as The Third Little Pig and a Gingerbread Woman. Kristin Poole, dressed as the Queen of Hearts from “Alice in Wonderland,” enjoyed a moment with patron Bob Gilbert before New York artist Kent Hinrickson’s wall paper-like art work of strange hooded and masked figures.

Andrea Dezso introduced viewers to her site installation, “Sometimes in My Dreams I Fly.” The installation features pig-tailed children, fairies, rhinocerous beetles and intricately cut dragon flies hovering between multilayered lasercut backgrounds illuminated in dark purple and autumn colors. “I like to portray the journey to the unfamiliar where you don’t know what or how everything works,” said Dezso. The exhibit, which features snow globes of Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz and intriguing works imagining famous Americans like Henry Ford in wolves’ clothing, opened just in time for the Halloween season. It will run through Nov. 30. tws

Whitewater Park on Dockets STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

un Valley’s got world-class skiing, mountain biking, hiking, fly-fishing and golf. Now it’s about to get the one thing that’s been missing from its outdoor portfolio: a whitewater amenity. That’s about to change. The Ketchum City Council has approved a master plan for a $2.7-million whitewater park that would run along 1,500 feet of the Big Wood River near Hulen Meadows just north of Ketchum. “It’ll just be a tremendous amenity for a mountain town like Ketchum,” said Jeff Smull, a kayaker who has been serving on the whitewater committee that helped come up with the proposal. “Having something like this is in keeping with the Sun Valley thing and the Idaho thing since Idaho is the whitewater state of the U.S.” Jen Smith, director of parks and recreation for the City of Ketchum, and Keri York will present the latest overview of the river park project at the Hemingway Chapter Trout Unlimited meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Whiskey Jacques’. The meeting will also feature a presentation by Chad Chorney on tarpon fishing in Campeche, Mexico. Strategically-placed drop features would create a variety of play waves on the river that kayakers can surf and perform flips on at various water levels. There also would be nature trails, wildlife viewing areas, dog play areas and fishing sites. The city hired S2o Design and Engineering, a Lyons, Colo.based whitewater park design

firm, to build the park. S2o designed the 2012 London Olympics whitewater course, which was voted the best venue of the Olympics. Three-time Olympic kayaker Scott Shipley said he would expect the park to attract up to 50 kayakers a day during spring and early summer. Otherwise, the park will likely see the same amount and kinds of uses the area pond gets today. Smith said she hopes that the park will attract out-of-towners who might be persuaded to stop for a couple of days and practice their kayaking skills before heading on to the Middle Fork and Main Salmon rivers in early summer when tourism revenue for local businesses is at a seasonal low. “I suspect the majority of users will be local and regional,” Smith added. This particular stretch of river was deemed the best site for a park because it’s surrounded by public property. “This will give people an area

they can take kids and have a safe experience. The Big Wood is called the Big Wood because it has a lot of logs and debris in it and that makes it pretty unsafe for those who want to boat or ride it in innertubes,” Smith said. Smith said she hopes construction can begin in 2014, with the park opening in the spring of 2015. First there must be a $101,240 environmental assessment, paid for by the Wood River Land Trust, the White Water Park Committee and the city. The city also has applied for a patent from the BLM to create a park on the BLM land. The Recreational and Public Purposes Act permits public lands owned by the BLM to be transferred to local governments for recreational purposes. The city already has been providing seasonal maintenance for the area since the BLM’s Shoshone office doesn’t have the resources to take care of it on a daily basis. The park will have a more

Whitewater features will be built on nine natural structures that already exist. Whitewater park designer Scott Shipley described the Eddies—areas of pond at Hulen Meadows as a catcher’s glove for those slow water—will kayaking or tubing the river. be incorporated into the design as “And like the halfpipe in the ski safe areas in case kayakers come business, it’ll attract people to out of their boats. watch kayakers do tricks.

Free Screening of ‘Basques in the West’ Next Wednesday, Oct. 10 the public is invited to a free screening of a Basque film at 6 p.m. at The Community Library in Ketchum. Along the banks of the Snake River, through the passes of the Sawtooth Mountains, past the rims of the canyon lands of Southern Idaho, Eastern

Oregon, and Northern Nevada, is the story of a people often overlooked in Northwestern history. Director Brent Barras will share his film about the Basques, their sheep herding industry, their vibrant culture, and the conflicts they face by holding onto their traditional practices in a modern world.

Idaho Buckaroo Project Opens Next Week In parts of rural Idaho, a traditional way of life continues as it has for centuries. This is the world of the “buckaroos� of the Great Basin, who ride, dress, and adorn their horses much as the first Mexican vaqueros did more than 300 years ago. At the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Hailey, an exhibition organized by photographer Andrea Scott, founder of the Idaho Buckaroo Project, explores buckaroo culture through photography and essays. An opening celebration on Thursday, October 11 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. will feature a talk by Scott at 6 p.m and songs about the life of a buckaroo by Portland-based

singer-songwriter Jill Miller. Bits and spurs, handwoven saddle blankets and other handmade horse gear crafted by buckaroos who will be present at the opening will also be on display, and refreshments will be served. The exhibition’s opening coincides with the annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival, held October 11–14 in Ketchum and Hailey. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Hailey, is at Second Ave. S. and Pine St. Hours are Thursdays 2–5:30 p.m. or by appointment. Admission is free.

ary Beck looked past the cluster of ranch homes straddling the hill of the Hillside Ranch south of Bellevue to 500 acres of organic barley being grown to make organic beer for Anheuser-Busch. “It’s taken a lot of years,� said the farm manager, who sows $18,000 to $20,000 worth of seeds into the patch each year. “You don’t become green overnight.� But over the past five years, John and Elizabeth Stevenson’s farm has become a showcase barley farm in collaboration with Miller Coors and The Nature Conservancy, which manages the neighboring Silver Creek Preserve. In fact, the Stevensons have been able to cut water use 10 percent—something that helps groundwater rise between six inches and two feet, according to computer models, said Dayna Gross, Silver Creek watershed manager for The Nature Conservancy. Farm workers have retrofitted irrigation pivots for more even watering, saving up to 400,000 gallons of water every two days. They’ve installed smart panels to slow down and speed up pivots as needed so they don’t overwater the ground. They’ve dropped sprinklers so less is lost to wind and evaporation from the sun. They’ve planted hedges on the ranch’s perimeters where it’s not economically feasible to farm, and reduced water spilled out onto roadways. They’ve constructed square pivot tires that don’t leave tracks in the fields, thereby increasing the amount of barley or hay harvested. They’ve planted native seeds to harvest in pivot corners—the part that doesn’t get watered. And they’ve put sensors on hillsides, where they grow part of 1,700 acres of conventional barley for Miller Coors, to monitor water usage. And they’ve spread manure from Jerome dairies onto the land. Before, a pivot could have dumped 1,100 gallons of water on a site over a two-day period and it wouldn’t have puddled because it would have gone straight into the ground, Beck

John Stevenson donated the first conservation easement in the Silver Creek watershed 28 years ago. Since then, 21 other landowners have donated easements, protecting nearly the entire valley from development.

said. Now, the organic matter in the compost acts as a sponge, increasing the moisture-holding capacity of the soil. The bonus: the farm’s conventional fertilizer requirements have dropped by two-thirds. Ranch owner John Stevenson said he does all this because it’s profitable. “I sell hay to organic dairies and the price is very good. I sell organic barley to AnheuserBusch and the price is very good. And all the other conservation measures we’ve undertaken just make economical sense, as well,� said Stevenson. “We’re not doing this just to look nice. Our crops are increasing instead of going down in production as they are on many other farms. And we’re getting much more benefit from compost at a time when fertilizer prices are going through the roof.� That’s not to say everything’s been rosy. It was expensive putting on both compost and conventional fertilizer until last year when they could dispense with most of conventional fertilizer, Beck said. And two years ago 200 voles destroyed the organic barley. Prohibited by organic practices from using baits, all the Stevensons could do was send kids into the fields to whack the voles with shovels. The conservation measures have helped keep the water in Silver Creek healthy, said Dayna Gross, who manages the preserve. And restoring wetlands in ground that would be unprof-

And we’re getting much more benefit from compost at a time when fertilizer prices are going through the roof.� –john stevenson itable to farm has benefitted wildlife. The Stevensons have put more than 800 acres into the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Wetlands Reserve Program, restoring several miles of spawning habitat in their creeks. Hailey resident and wellknown birder Poo Wright-Pulliam said she counted 104 different bird species on the Stevenson property last spring, including nesting white pelicans, horned owls and golden eagles. Kelly Luff, a Twin Falls representative of Bayer Corp., who enlists the Stevensons to try out new chemicals that are safer for honeybees and other wildlife, applauded the farm’s conservation measures. “This is probably one of the most productive farms in the valley—in part because of their work on the cutting edge of techtws nology,� Luff said.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I was so excited when I bought my $800,000 home as a FSBO (For Sale By Owner) because I saved a bundle. In addition, I was moving to an upscale neighborhood with people I thought were socially elite. For instance, my neighbor is a surgeon at a prestigious hospital. However, after last week, I'm terribly disappointed. Twice a year the community has a garbage day where homeowners can throw out anything, even large items such as furniture or appliances. Then, the town hauls it away at no cost. After all of us piled our junk on the curb, I spotted a few of my neighbors cruising the streets and dumpster diving through the piles. I even watched my neighbor, the surgeon, load some of my stuff into his trunk. This is supposedly an upscale neighborhood. Why would these people resort to such tacky behavior?

your community's interest. Carry: In case you don’t know, your neighborhood is not unique. This type of event occurs in towns and cities everywhere and, believe it or not, the same process of neighbors looking through each other's curbside piles goes on all the time. Cash: While you may not be interested, others consider it a treasure hunt for several reasons. Some are simply collectors looking for scrap metal or items of value, while others are searching for something that they can use. Carry: Maybe you should look at it as a way of recycling. Every piece that someone picks up is one less that ends up in the landfill. While your curbside pile may have

no value to you, someone else may be able to fix or use those discarded items, even your neighboring surgeon. Cash: The art of finding something for nothing or just trying to save money is inherent in many of us. You yourself have used this principle in buying a FSBO and saving money on the cost of your new home. Carry: Before you're too harsh on your neighbor's actions, maybe you should reevaluate your concern for social status. Cash: After all, if you become friends with your neighbor, you may be visiting some of your stuff! •

Got a question or funny story? Email us at: comments@classifiedguys.com.

There isn't much exciting about garbage, or is there? In 2004, two French photojournalists put together an art show displaying pictures of things they collected from celebrities' garbage. It took them more than 15 years, but the results were fascinating to many. For example, they learned that Marlon Brando may have favored peach flavored diet Snapple or possibly dyed his hair with L'Oreal Preference in a shade of soft black. Tom Cruise's garbage included toiletries that suggested he may have used over 13 face care products.

Trash Talk

Every day the average person generates 4.4 pounds of garbage. After recycling metal, plastic and paper, there is still 3.6 pounds that needs to be discarded. So what happens to it? According to the National Energy Education Development Project, 55% of it ends up in landfills. However, some states have found a use for such places. Virginia Beach created Mount Trashmore. Once a large landfill, it is now a 165 acre recreational park and tourist attraction. The facilities include playgrounds, picnic areas, basketball and volleyball courts and two lakes stocked with fish.

Reader Humor Old Friend

I don't normally pick things up on the side of the road, but last week I passed a house that was throwing out an old reclining chair. Although it's ugly plaid coloring made it look like it wouldn't match anything, I knew my son would love it for his dorm room. I opened my trunk and began struggling to get it in the car. I must have been quite loud because a woman came running out of the house and politely said, "Let me help you, but we have to be quiet about it." "I appreciate the help," I thanked her, "but why do we have to be quiet?" She smiled and whispered, "My husbands asleep and he doesn't know I’m throwing it out!" (Thanks to Silvia M.)
