How we structure by: JIMA our economy, Rice, Ph.D. the expectations we have of it, and what it actually delivers for our democracy is something everyone should have some knowledge about, if only for their own improved economic success.

school briefs TCS’s new basketball coach BCSD Chess Club’s success

Community School Athletic Director John Remington announces that Erik Olson will join the faculty as the Upper School boys’ basketball coach for the 2010-2011 season. Olson, who graduated from Linfield College in Oregon in 2009, said he is “excited about the opportunity and the chance to work with the kids and build the boys’ basketball program.� John said he “looks forward to Erik carrying on the tradition of a quality boys’ basketball program that’s been established over the years at The Community School.� Since graduating from college, Olson has been playing professional basketball with different clubs in Europe, spending time with teams in Germany and Scotland. He spent the summer of 2010 running basketball camps for kids in Greece and the United Kingdom. “In the European system, teams recruit players while they’re still in their teens, so I spent a lot of time working with the development programs, teaching the game,� he said. He hopes his connections to Europe will help continue The Community School’s efforts to bring in international students.

Wind in my face, sun at my back, I move along the breathing hills, the light catchers. The pace and rhythm of steps brings a hypnotic trance. I gaze at my shadow. Thoughts, like windblown leaves, cross the mind. I pay them no heed, for there’s something afoot, as always, in the birthing silence. Thought and action rise on the wings of light, the ferment ignited by some small spark of shadow and sage among iced, frozen stones. I was just going home.

Film fest, creative flair By KAREN BOSSICK

C

an people be persuaded to do something that good for themselves or the environment if the fun factor is injected? That’s the question two short films posed in the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival presented by Ketchum’s Environmental Resource Center Friday night at the nexStage Theatre. Prompted by a money award offered by four jurists in Sweden, the contest sparked some charming entrepreneurial creativity. In one case, an enterprising group retrofitted a staircase with piano keys prompting 98 percent of pedestrians to march to their own tune rather than the escalator a couple short feet away. Another group turned a recycling bin into a bottle bank arcade complete with sound effects and people lined up to pitch ‘er in. Still another rewarded those

who obeyed the speed limit by entering their license numbers into a lottery. The cash prizes came from those who were caught speeding. Of course, not everything was fun and games at film festival. Local students Lexi Shapiro and Maggie Williams capped their whirlwind drive through the valley with a jolting look at why one should not leave their car idling. TGR presented a film showing how climate change is altering skiing in such far-flung places as Chamonix, France, Squaw Valley, Calif., and Vermont. Another film displayed the innovative techniques photographers used to capture images of mountain goat and other sights that would be lost if a mountaintop were shaved to make way for mining near the MontanaCanada border. Perhaps the most horrifying was “Split Estate,� which depicted an environmental catastrophe

every bit as devastating as the Gulf Oil Spill. One woman—the proverbial canary in the coal mine—developed a tumor in her adrenal gland which she was believed by caused by the 2-butoxyethanol used in the fracturing process used to retrieve gas under her home. Another couple who shucked the rat race in California to buy the house of their dreams in western Colorado saw it become the house of their nightmares after 20 wells and a disposal pit were built within a mile of their home. Chris, in particular, seemed to have the worst of it. Not only did her skin burn from the chemicals present in the shower water, but she lost the ability to speak properly and now can only move with extreme pain. Fortunately, there are not yet any cases of fracturing in Idaho. But the film festival served as a wake-up call to be vigilant. twp

ahead of the curve........................................................................................................ from pg 1 individual can be consistently favored. If you need to, read the above sentence several times to get a grasp on it. Then, whether you fully get it or not (it has taken me weeks so far), consider whether the theory sounds reasonable to you. Do you see possible problems? Are the assumptions sound, based on common sense? Consider this Q&A about the theory: Q. Do we all really have access to complete information in our financial dealings? A. No. Even in the financial markets, most investors don’t know or understand what is going on. Information is often overly complex or only benefits insiders. The recession proved that. On a simpler level, consider your monthly bank statement, carefully written in arcane, circular, legalistic language that is offered as “information� to fulfill your “right to know.� Q. Are we all always rational in our behavior? A. No. You and I know that from the get-go. We intuitively know the effect on the market of public emotions, whether

paralyzed fear or overblown optimism. But economists are only beginning to understand this because a subset of them, the behavioral economists, have recently demonstrated the vast fallibility of human nature and thinking when it comes to economic issues. Q. Are human beings predominantly self-interested or altruistic? A. Self-interested. This is not just a Darwinian notion; i.e., that humans are genetically programmed to protect only themselves and their kin when push comes to shove. It is also a cultural fact in the way our society values selfish power and greed over honesty and fairness. While the efficient markets theory made sense to the Chicago School of Economics that developed it, we all know what can befall social scientists: a rigid and simplistic view of the world. (I can say that based on my Ph.D. years). In fact, it is “quants� (academic numbers gurus) who largely facilitated the U.S. fall into a three-year-andcounting recession, producing market algorithms that inves-

tors didn’t bother to, or couldn’t, fathom. Niall Ferguson shows in his book, “The Ascent of Money,� that financial history has never been, and will never be, smooth. Instead, he describes it as a “roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, bubbles and busts, manias and panics, shocks and crashes.� We can calculate and work with risk, looking back at the frequency of known, recurring events, but we cannot measure, predict, and bet on the unknown future. It lies before us, preparing mysteriously to unfold in who-knows-what directions. Finally, from Ferguson, “(F)inancial markets are like the mirror of mankind, revealing every hour of every working day the way we value ourselves and the resources of the world around us.� Do we like what we twp see in that mirror?

Dick painted the wall with storybook characters—from Fancy Nancy, who likes to dress up in Mom’s tiaras and sparkly studded shoes, to Curious George, that little monkey who takes a job, rides a bike, flies a kite and learns the alphabet on his many adventures.

On the road again with Due Date Jon rated this movie

R

oad movies are always good for a hoot and have been a staple of Hollywood comedies for generations. The new addition to the genre, Due Date, follows the formula perfectly, although with a level of gross-out humor that is isn’t included in some of the earlier films. The only problem is that the movie is written and directed by the hilarious Todd Phillips and, compared to his recent The Hangover and the classic Old School, this film just doesn’t live up to the expectations. Sure, it’s funny, and sometimes inspired, but it’s missing something and that is probably the deep nonstop belly laughs of the afore-

Love goddess Venus has been traveling backward through one of the most passionate signs of the zodiac, bringing intensity and complexity to our personal lives. But if she has taken her mission a little too far and all the seriousness has gotten to be a little too much for graceful living, this week she’ll let up. Venus calls a truce as she slips into the air sign of Libra. Negotiations are breezy, and it’s relatively easy to strike an agreement. ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are times when you should push yourself to be more generous and selfless. But right now, do the opposite. You need to take care of yourself. Give only what you feel good about giving. Of course you should help others, but not if it comes at your own emotional expense. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Rack up a few hours of manual labor. It will be amazing what you garner from repetitious work. Sorting, filing, folding and weeding are examples of the kinds of tasks that will keep your hands busy while giving your mind an escape hatch. The effort will enhance your creativity and sharpen your intuition. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It seems like everyone is asking you to nail down a commitment, which includes hard dates and times. The requests might be bothersome, but there’s a good reason for them. Knowing what you need to do is not enough. Scheduling it is the key. Goals are not goals without a deadline. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll go on a quest through your own imagination, which is alight with pictures, music and wishes. And though this would be enough for some people, unless you can make your visions real -- at least to the extent that they can be real -- the dream means nothing

to you. Tangible results will keep you motivated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t have to be a physicist to gain new insights into the way the universe works. No one in the entire galaxy sees things the way you do. Your view is original and meaningful and worthy of being shared. This week you voice your opinions and tell your side of the story. Your audience will be riveted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Get plenty of rest this week. Sleep is a necessary part of maintaining your energy and high spirits. And when things get hectic, it’s also a welcome escape from the waking world. When you have the right amount of REM time, your subconscious will figure out what your conscious mind could not. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll deal with a wide variety of personalities. You may need to scoot your own personal preferences to the side while you tend to the group agenda. But that doesn’t mean you have to get rid of them for good. Be patient and aware, and you’ll know when the timing is perfect to display your opinions, values and beliefs. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have strong planning abilities. You can actually see into the future. One of your projects is particularly dear to you these days. Jot down a possible route for your life that is centered on the happy completion of this project. If you devoted yourself to this plan, what would your life look like in six months? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though pressure can feel uncomfortable, ultimately, a sense of urgency can be a good thing. Without a deadline, you could vacillate endlessly between two or three interesting choices. Instead, circumstances will force

IdahoGunBroker.com

your hand. You’ll make your choice and be on your way to the next great adventure. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You make few requirements of your work. You understand that it’s important to do a job well, regardless of what it is. So you approach sweeping the floor with the same attention as you do meeting a star client. Your stellar attitude will open all kinds of lucrative doors for you this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are constantly aware of how your actions affect others. That’s why you do your best to be polite whether engaged in traffic, conversation, domestic co-existence, business or any relationship at all. And whenever you suspect that your actions had an ill effect on someone, you rectify the situation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are helpful, but also careful not to be so attentive that you rob others of the self-esteem they would gain from completing their own work, making their own decisions and handling their own problems. You will focus on doing what it takes to make an important improvement for your own personal satisfaction. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You are a model of self-responsibility and power. Many will look up to you, and before the end of December, you’ll be given a leadership position. Your family’s needs will require you to change your priorities and your schedule. November, February and July bring the best financial opportunities, and you can afford to take more risks during those times. Throughout 2011, your happiness is augmented by whimsical interactions with friends and your commitment to romance and adventure. twp

entertainment news Fools’ present free reading of Commencement

Company of Fools will present a free reading of a new play, Commencement, by Clay McLeod Chapman, this Friday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., at Gilman Contemporary Gallery in Ketchum. In 2009, Company of Fools commissioned Clay McLeod Chapman (a New York-based playwright, novelist and educator) to create an original theatre piece for them. This project was supported by funding from the Idaho Commission on the Arts. Commencement centers around three women who are drawn together in the grim aftermath of a high school shooting. The mother of the shooter (staph infection) is played by Denise

Simone, one of the shooter’s victims (early release) is played by Russell Wilson, and the victim’s mother (keynote speaker) is played by Claudia McCain. The mere mention of the word “Columbine” immediately brings to mind the all-too-familiar media images from school shootings. Confronted with these tragic images, most of us are overwhelmed by the sheer incomprehensibility of such an event. In Commencement, Chapman brings these images into sharp focus, which provides, if not understanding for the shooter, understanding for the world in which he lived. The play is a deep exploration of the lives of

three women that, according to SEE Magazine “...will leave you wringing your hands in helpless empathy.” The director, John Glenn, explains Company of Fools’ choice of exploring this play: “Clay has been a part of the fabric of this Company for the past 15 years—as playwright in residence for our New Voices program. He is fast becoming a major force in the national theatre arena and we are proud to have commissioned this new work here in Hailey, Idaho.” Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. reading. The reading is free and complimentary wine and dessert will be served. Info: www.companyoffools.org

briefs Big and Little choir concert Thursday

I recycle. Do you?

T

hat’s the question we all need to ask each other this week. On Nov. 15, America will be celebrating America Recycles Day. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling programs in the United States. One day to inform and educate. One day to get our neighbors, friends and community leaders excited about what can be accomplished when we all work together. One day to make recycling bigger and better—365 days a year. Let’s make recycling work in our community. If you’re not currently recycling, why don’t you take the pledge to start. The ERC can make it easy to find out what you can and cannot recycle in our Valley and how best to recycle all sorts of electronic wastes. Join thousands of others as they take a pledge to recycle at www.AmericaRecyles-

Day.org. If you’re already recycling, why don’t you take the challenge to ratchet things up. You could get your friends to start by taking the “I Recycle” pledge; you could calculate how much you’re recycling saves energy and reduces your carbon footprint by using the iWarm Model; or the ERC could help you set up a recycling program at your office or apartment. Visit the America Recycles Day website for more ideas. By recycling, you help our community raise, on average, over $100,000 in recycling revenues each year. Thanks to you, recycling works for us all. You can find all the answers to your recycling questions at the ERC’s website www.ercsv.org. Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

Wood River High School and Wood River Middle School are pleased to announce the first gala choir concert of the 2010–11 season. The concert will be held on Thursday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m., at the old high school auditorium on the Community Campus in Hailey. There is no charge, although donations may be made at the door; the public is warmly invited. The concert is titled Big and Little, and will feature singing groups of all sizes, from the four-voice Magique to the 78-voice Wood River High School Concert Choir. The various vocal ensembles from the high school and middle school will perform separately, and will join together as the Wood River Chorale for the opening song, “Alice’s Theme” from the recent movie “Alice in Wonderland,” and the closing song, a gospel version of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” The choral program for both schools is under the direction of Max Stimac, who is now in his ninth teaching year in Hailey. Jim Watkinson is the accompanist for the choirs. Also featured in the concert will be the B-Tones, the men’s group led by R.L. Rowsey; Enchanté, the women’s high-school chamber choir, also directed by Mr. Rowsey; Magique, the eighth-grade women’s chamber-ensemble; and Colla Voce, the women’s high-school jazz and special-performance group, directed by Mr. Stimac and accompanied by a combo led by pianist Dorinda Rendahl.

Water future shocking

T

hink water is as close as your kitchen faucet? It may by: Karen not be in Bossick the near future. “The day is coming when people will talk about water and not much else,” Maude Barlow warned students from Wood River High School and the Sage School Thursday. In fact, 42,000 Detroit residents have already had their water turned off because they couldn’t pay their bills. In Australia, private ownership and speculative buying has driven critical water shortages that have forced farmers out of business and the government to buy back water rights at exorbitant prices to conserve enough water to protect the ecosystem. Eighty percent of the surface water and 90 percent of the groundwater in China is polluted. Great Britain’s lakes are dying because they’re pumping so much water. And parts of the United States have already hit the water wall—Florida is pumping water so fast it’s developing sinkholes. Barlow, called a “champion of water” by Sun Valley Center for the Arts education director Britt Udesen, is co-founder of the Blue Planet Project, an international movement protecting the world’s freshwater from privatization and other threats. She also chairs the board of the Washington-based Food and Water Watch and has written 16 books, including “Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and The Coming Battle for the Right to Water.” The Ottawa, Canada, resident spoke to school students Thursday afternoon and then that evening to about 300 adults as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ 2010-2011 lecture series. Barlow called on the students to become “water warriors” by learning about the water crisis and by taking shorter showers and other conservation measures. “We’ve got to stop doing dumb things. Arizona, for instance, is building the world’s largest water theme park with waves so big you can surf them. And, of course they will have to import all that water,” she said. “And I know it’s cool to think about bottled water. But we’re coming to a day when it won’t be cool anymore. It will be just like smoking.” The long-held notion that there is an infinite amount of water in the hydrologic cycle and

scene in the valley Wood River High School student Christianna “Cat” Duder, shown here with Maude Barlow, bemoaned the hundreds of gallons of water used to make microchips for cell phones which, she noted, often get thrown away a year after they’re bought. PHOTO: Karen Bossick

that we can do anything we want with it and it never goes away is simply not true, Barlow said. In 20 years, the global demand for clean freshwater will outstrip the supply by 40 percent. No one’s come up with a substitute for water. Even desalinization takes a lot of energy while putting dangerous chemicals into the ocean. Eighty percent of world’s rivers are in crisis, Barlow said during her evening lecture. Whole areas are drying out, including Northern China, most of India and Pakistan, the Middle East, Southern Europe, Mexico City (which is sinking) and 22 countries in Africa (where every one of the 677 major lakes is in peril). Even Lake Mead has only a 12-year supply of water left, portending a return to the Dust Bowl. Fracturing to plumb gasoline underneath the earth is poisoning drinking water. We’re mining groundwater faster than nature can replace it, shipping it to cities which dump it into the ocean, rather than returning it to the watershed. And more children are dying of dirty water than HIV/AIDS, war and traffic accidents combined. Gulp. Every community needs to draw up a water plan calculating future needs and how to protect water, Barlow said. Leave it where it is—displacing huge amounts to grow crops or divert to cities changes rain patterns and dries soils permanently. Come down on polluters. And don’t buy into the notion that water is a commodity— make a public trust to prevent losing it to water trading and mining. “Water is a human right. We shouldn’t have to watch a child die due to lack of water,” she said. “But I can see a future where, if you have money, you have water. If you don’t, you die.” twp

n short order, the December holidays will be upon us, followed fairly quickly by Valentine’s Day. Either one can be an occasion for the purchase of expensive items such as jewelry. Those of us in the insurance business will understand if you think of your sweetheart before you think about insurance. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a solid understanding ahead of Marty Miller time, though, of how your home, condo or renter’s insurance policy responds to claims involving jewelry? Many think the “contentsâ€? or “personal propertyâ€? limit listed on the “Declarationsâ€? page of the policy is adequate protection, but it may not be. Virtually all of these policies will include “internalâ€? or “special limitsâ€? for loss by theft of jewelry, silver, and even rugs. The limit can vary anywhere between $500 and $5,000 “in totalâ€? and it will depend on the company and policy you buy. The only way to be sure is to read “yourâ€? policy. For those with items of higher value than this, it is best to consider “scheduledâ€? insurance. The list of special limits is likely to include other things like trailers, watercraft, money, and business property (if you operate a business or have your office in your home, be sure you know about this). Some policies will also cover things like refrigerated products, replacing your locks and even golf carts in this list, while other policies do not cover them at all. The toughest claims for adjusters and policyholders alike involve “antiques.â€? For an adjuster, just because an item is old does not necessarily mean it has antique value and it becomes difficult to justify and document paying more on the claim. Appraisals done ahead of time will help immensely. As with jewelry, you may even want to schedule your antiques. It seems a number of people also make an assumption their policy includes coverage for “everythingâ€? including earthquakes and flood. These may be available by endorsement option, but if your Declarations do not show them covered by name and a premium charge for it, you probably don’t have the coverage. On the liability side, an important coverage difference among policies has to do with the definition of “injury to others.â€? Some limit the definition to “bodilyâ€? injury, while others are broad enough to include “personal injuryâ€? for things like libel/slander, defamation of character – an important consideration in the age of Facebook, Twitter and text messaging. These are some of the things inside your home, condo or renter’s insurance most people never give thought to‌ until they need the coverage. Now that you have, it’s twp one less thing to worry about during the holiday season.

nsulin resistance is also known as pre-diabetes. Many people believe that insulin resistance only happens in those who are overweight or those who eat too many sweets. It is thought that it leads to diabetes and there is nothing they can do once they have it. The good news is that it is something we can prevent and even reverse naturally. It is first important to understand insulin’s role in the body. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas to help the body use glucose (sugar) to move from the bloodstream into the cells for cell functioning. When we eat foods high in refined carbohydrates, such as white bread or pasta, insulin levels surge to remove the excess sugar from the blood before it gets into our cells. Eventually, this prevents your natural glucose from getting into your cells, and leads to high blood sugar. Insulin resistance deprives your cells of the energy they need to function and leads to carbohydrate cravings, fatigue, and weight gain. When the body’s capacity to generate insulin efficiently becomes compromised, it can result is type 2 diabetes. Experts estimate that 25 percent of the American population suffers from insulin resistance. That number is on the rise because of the way we eat. The way we eat today is harming us. Our early ancestors focused on hunting and gathering food. The food that was gathered was wholesome, coming straight from the environment, filled with nutrition and fiber. Food gathering was an exercise in itself. Today, many of us spend our time sitting all day, and the food we eat is refined to the point there is no nutritional benefits. What we need to do is get back to putting whole foods, grown organically and unprocessed, into our everyday diets. Foods rich in protein, grains, fruits and vegetables need to be included in our meals. We also need to exercise more by doing little things like parking the car a block away, using the stairs and walking the dog for at least half an hour a day. We need to be more conscientious of what we put into our bodies and how we use them.Â

Hearty Winter Soup with Cheese Tortellini, Kielbasa and Kale by Chris Keirn 2 Tbsp. olive oil 12 oz. fully-cooked smoked kielbasa sausage, thinly sliced 1 onion, chopped 1 C. chopped fresh fennel bulb 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 1/2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme

1/2 tsp. dried crushed red pepper 10 C. canned low-salt chicken broth 4 C. chopped kale (about 1/2 bunch) 1 15-oz. can cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained 1 9-oz. package cheese tortellini 1 C. grated Asiago cheese

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add next 6 ingredients and sauté until vegetables are soft and kielbasa is browned, about 12 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Stir in kale and cannellini. Reduce heat to low and simmer until kale is wilted, about 4 minutes. (Can be made one day ahead. Cool slightly, cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing). Add tortellini to soup. Simmer until pasta is just tender, but still firm to bite, about 5 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and serve, passing cheese separately to be sprinkled on top. Serves 6.

Mark Cook, a Hailey reflexologist, will take on the role of Gen. Mackenzie after two seasons of acting classes with nexStage. “The last play I was in was 20 years ago. I had just two

lines and every time they came up I was petrified,” he said. “I decided to face my stage fright head on because I like to play music and I like to act in front of people. I don’t know what’ll happen when I face the audience Friday night, but to watch this go together has been fun with a capital F.” twp

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, So I'm watching The Price Is Right one day and one of the bikini babes brings out the cutest kitten from a local animal shelter. For some reason this inspires me to adopt a cat. Within days I rescued a new feline friend from a shelter I saw advertising in the newspaper. At first everything was fine. I'd let the cat out occasionally to run the neighborhood. Then I noticed he would wait by the door to go outside. After a few weeks, he wasn't even coming home at night. It turns out he liked the neighbors better so he moved in there. Do cats really just move out with no sense of loyalty?

Cash: Unfortunately, cats may

not be as faithful as The Price Is Right fans. Did you know the show is the longest running game show in North American television history? Carry: However, "faithful" is not the word we would use to describe your cat. It sounds like the two of you just didn't bond very well, especially if your cat has chosen another family. Cash: Unlike dogs, who seem to live for us, cats tend to have a

much more independent nature, although many people swear by the close-knit bond they have with their feline friends. Carry: It's difficult to know exactly why your cat chose to take up residence with the neighbor. But it is apparent that your cat found it to be a more rewarding environment. Cash: He could have received more attention, better food or more treats. Maybe your neighbors allowed him on the sofa, or let him snuggle under the covers at night. Carry: Who knows, your cat may have been feeling frisky and enjoyed the company of a female companion at the neighbor's

house.

Cash: The only true way to know is to talk with your neighbors about their new housemate. They may be able to offer some insight into your cat's behavior. Carry: You could ask them to discourage the cat from visiting and hope that he comes back home. But in our opinion, if your neighbors and the cat are happy, it's probably just time to let him go and adopt another friend. Cash: There are plenty of kittens available at the animal shelter that would love a new home with you. Carry: And if you still miss your cat, you can always ask your neighbors if you can cat-sit when they go on vacation!

Every so often there is one cat that stands out above the rest. And if you had ever met an orange tabby named Jake from Ontario, Canada, you'd remember him. Adopted from a local animal shelter, Jake made his way into the Guinness Book of World Records for having twenty-eight toes! He has seven toes on each foot, complete with claws and pads. Now that's a cat that leaves his pawprint in history.

More Morris

Many of us may remember Morris from the 9-Lives commercials. He's often considered the "Clark Gable of Cats". Weighing in at fifteen pounds, Morris was rescued from a shelter by an employee of an advertising agency and transformed into a superstar. His first appearance was in 1968 for a 9-Lives commercial, but he also went on to star in two movies. Morris passed away in 1975, but he still managed to author several books such as "Morris, the Intimate Biography" and "The Morris Approach, an insiders guide to pet care." •

Reader Humor Fined

I love my cat but often feel bad that he's cooped up inside all day. So on the weekend, I let him outside to explore the neighborhood. One day he got into trouble by getting into the neighbor's house. At first, it didn't seem like a big deal. Then, a few months later my neighbor called to tell me that my cat was the proud father of eight kittens. Now whenever I let my cat outside, he runs to the neighbor's door hoping to get in. The other day I realized it was getting on my neighbor's nerves. While I was outside, he opened his door, smiled and hung a sign that read, "No Littering". (Thanks to Jamie C.)

business briefs Micro-Loan Funds Available Locally Business Lending Solutions (BLS), a division of Region IV Development Association, Inc., whose main office is located on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls, was recently awarded a $99,000 grant from the USDA Rural Development for the purpose of creating a micro-loan program. The purpose of this loan program is to help create jobs and stimulate economic growth by providing loans to small and emerging businesses and micro-enterprises that do not have access to financing capital in the eight counties of Blaine, Camas, Cassia, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln,

Minidoka and Twin Falls. With this program, BLS will strive to provide financing opportunities for non-traditional borrowers to assist them to become more bankable and to assist displaced, disabled and disadvantaged workers in an effort to achieve economic self-sufficiency through self-employment. This microloan program will help address the gaps in access to capital for non-traditional, micro-businesses and other business enterprises. For a loan application or info, please call 208-732-5730, ext. 3006, or go to www.businesslendingsolutions.org.
