Delta Begins Regional Jet Service between Sun Valley and Salt Lake City in January
Spencer Brendel scoops his PlayHard GiveBack trail mix into a rice paper bag which is easy on the environment.
D
elta Air lines (NYSE: DAL) will introduce jet service on its Sun Valley to Salt Lake City route beginning January 6, 2014. The flights will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using 65-seat, two-class Bombardier CRJ-700s. Each aircraft is equipped with nine first-class seats, eight economy comfort seats and 48 economy seats as well as on-board Wi-Fi. The change to a larger aircraft will add approximately 3100 additional Delta seats into SUN in 2014, with three round-trip flights per day during peak winter and summer seasons and two round-trip flights per day during the off-peak time periods. Friedman Memorial Airport Manager Rick Baird said this would be one more positive enhancement to air service for both local residents and visitors. “While the daily flight frequency will be reduced in the short term because of the increase in seat capacity of the jets versus the turboprops, we are optimistic this new aircraft, along with competitive fares and enhanced cooperative marketing between our community and Delta Air Lines, will encourage more people to fly SUN,” he remarked. “And if we can fill these additional seats, we can continue to discuss additional frequency with Delta, because we know that is very important for our business and leisure travel market here,” Baird added. Flights can be booked at www.delta. com

pencer Brendel sticks his scoop in a giant bowl of chocolate-covered espresso beans, salted almonds, dried cranberries, cashews, sunflower seeds, date roll pieces, dried mango and coconut flakes. With a twist of a muscular wrist used to hitting a hockey puck, he stirs the ingredients into one colorful blended mix aptly named “Wired.” These are the ingredients that Lexi Dupont, a big-mountain skier from Sun Valley, chose as her go-to mix when she needs a pick-me-up while shredding powder for film cameras. But the PlayHard GiveBack mix is more than a trail mix. In Brendel’s eyes it’s a micro-social enterprise that will change the world for the better. Customers can support a roster of 19 athletes like national mountain biking champion Rebecca Rusch, skiercross champion Langley McNeal and Sun Valley’s American Hockey League player Joey Sides by purchasing the AthlEats Performance trail mixes. Fifty cents of the cost of every bag s of boutique trail mix that’s sold goes to support the athlete’s career; another 50 cents goes to support the athlete’s pet cause—a list that includes the Wood River Bike Coalition, Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, Protect Our Winters, No Kid Hungry and Higher Ground Sun Valley. The bags retail for $6.95 in stores. “It’s a quick easy way for athletes to get energy and protein. And it gives them a chance to give back to the community, kids in need, planet Earth, our big green playground,” said Brendel, who graduated from Wood River High School in 2007. “We find some people are buying the mixes to support the athletes. Others are buying them because they liked the mix of ingredients the bags contain.”

climate change. A dishwasher built before 1994 wastes more than 10 gallons of water per cycle and costs you about $40 extra on utility bills (Energy Star models average 4 gallons). When shopping, look for a dishwasher with this low-water factor (number of gallons per cycle per cubic foot). Consider models offering cycle and load size adjustments. Replacing a pre-1994 dishwasher is a smart move, but if yours is newer, the smart strategy is to make it last through proper maintenance. A couple of final tips: scraping leftovers into the compost instead of rinsing saves even more water. Run full loads. Consider health risks from your dishwashing detergent, factoring in the recommendations from Environmental Working Group at ewg.org. More green info at ercsv.org and pinterest/ercsunvalley.

In fact, using an Energy Star dishwasher will save approximately 5,000 gallons of water and 230 hours of your time per year as compared to hand washing dishes. Energy Star-certified dishwashers use advanced technology to get dishes clean while using less water and energy, compared to conventional models.

Scott Mason and his wife Anne always seem to be around town cooking up sunrise specialties for a Channel 7 newscast or serving up pizza out of their relatively new wood-fired oven. But come the days following Thanksgiving, you’ll find them in their own kitchen making Thanksgiving leftovers.
Thanksgiving Leftovers From the Masons STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
he best part of Thanksgiving dinner for Anne Mason is not the big turkey dinner
itself. It’s the next day when she and her husband Scott can put the leftovers to use. “By the time I get dinner on the table on Thanksgiving Day, I’m too full to enjoy it because just cooking the dinner somehow seems to fill me up,” said Anne, who with her husband Scott has run the popular Ketchum Grill for the past 23 years. The couple often plans Thanksgiving dinner with leftovers in mind, right down to the spices they use. “There’s so much rich, heavy and sweet stuff at Thanksgiving, we like to make our leftovers spicy to wake up the taste buds,” said Anne. “Hence, the enchiladas. And the chipotle yams.” The chipotle yams, which have graced the family table for 20 years, can even undergo another round of leftovers as soup, said Scott. “Some years we have had so many yams left over that they have appeared at the Ketchum Grill as the soup for the weekend following Thanksgiving. Mmmmmm good,” he said. “We also love potato cakes for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving and, of course, turkey sandwiches and turkey with rice soup until the last bone is gone. No part of the Thanksgiving meal goes to waste—even the memories are reused over and over.” Want to try the Masons’ Thanksgiving leftover recipes for yourself? Here they are: Leftover Turkey Enchiladas 3 C. leftover turkey, diced 1/4 C. sliced olives 1/2 yellow onion, diced 1/2 bunch cilantro 1 poblano chili pepper, diced 1 C. sour cream 2 C. Monterey jack or mozza-
rella cheese, grated pinch salt 12 corn tortillas 4 four-oz. cans green enchilada sauce or 2 C. homemade tomatillo sauce 4 Tbsp. corn oil In a mixing bowl mix all ingredients together except 1 C. of the grated cheese, tortillas and green enchilada sauce. Add salt if needed. Soften tortillas one by one by sautéing lightly in the corn oil. Roll some of turkey mixture with a tortilla into fat cigar shapes. Place one by one into a baking dish large enough to hold all the enchiladas seam-side down. Cover with the enchilada sauce and remaining cheese. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Serve hot with black beans and Mexican rice.
Chipotle Yams and then Chipotle Yam Soup 10 yams (make sure these are the orange ones, not sweet potatoes, which are white inside) 3 C. heavy cream 2 chipotle peppers (or a small can of 3 or 4 peppers) juice from one lime 1 large yellow onion, diced kosher salt to taste Peel and slice the yams. If you are using a Cuisinart, use the 2-millimeter blade for slicing. Place in a casserole or baking dish large enough to accommodate. Puree or chop fine the chipotle peppers, the sauce from the can, onion, and lime juice. Stir in cream. Season with salt and pour over the sliced yams. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour and serve. Use the remaining leftovers to make yam soup by pureeing the leftover yams with chicken sauce in a food processor until the desired consistency is reach. Heat to boiling and check for seasoning. Serve hot and garnish with leftover cranberry chutney or sauce. tws

arly Tempest starts every family omelet with a trip to her backyard chicken coop. “Baking is richer, too, when you use fresh eggs,” said Tempest, a pastry chef. Tempest was among the first to jump on board when the City of Hailey approved an ordinance that allowed city dwellers to keep hens for personal egg consumption. And now, three years later, she can’t imagine getting her eggs any other way. “My husband Bryan had been talking about getting chickens for years,” Tempest said, nodding toward her husband, a longtime owner of Bigwood Bakery in Ketchum. “I was against it because I was afraid that they’d be smelly and a nuisance to the neighbors. But there’s no smell and they’re so quiet you’d hardly know they’re there. And my children enjoy them so much we actually added to our brood after we moved.” Chicken raising has gained momentum across the nation, spurred on by the recession and a desire to eat healthy and locally. Proponents say raising your own chickens can save on the grocery bill, especially when it costs $4 for a dozen free-range eggs at the grocery store. The chickens provide natural insect control and their scratching aerates the soil. Each chicken can consume up to nine pounds of kitchen waste a month and its droppings provide nitrogen-rich garden fertilizer. And eggs from backyard chickens are said to be tastier and more nutritious than eggs produced by factory-farmed chickens. “The eggs from backyard chickens have seven times more beta carotene, significantly more omega-3 fatty acids, 25 percent more vitamin E, a third more vitamin A, a third less cholesterol and a quarter less saturated fat than factory farm eggs,” said Dick Springs, a Picabo farmer. Springs adds that chickens even make good pets. “For someone who’s never kept animals before, chickens are a great place to start,” he said. “You’ll find yourself turning off the TV to watch them. When one of our chickens got hurt, my wife even had the vet splint its leg.” The Tempest family’s experience bears that out. The family chickens have been christened with names like The Colonel, Chicken Nugget and Big Red. And each have their own personalities. Liam, who was just one when the family got its first chickens, loved to take them up in his small chubby arms and hug them from the get-go. And they’re perfectly willing to sit in Carly’s lap and let Liam and his older brother Owen stroke their smooth feathers. They don’t have to be walked or given a bath, as dogs do. But, as the kids have gotten older, Tempest says, they’ve learned about responsibility from feeding them, giving them fresh water, cleaning the coop and collecting the eggs. “They’re learning about what it’s like to live on the land—even in a neighborhood of cars and houses,” she said. The Tempests pre-ordered their chickens from Dunlap Hatchery in Caldwell, picking up a Barred Rock hen, Golden Sex Link and Rhode Island Red the day after they were born. They kept them inside in a plastic horse trough under a heat lamp while temperatures dipped below freezing. As the hens grew, they moved them outside to a chicken coop that Bryan Tempest built from a kit and

set up in the backyard behind a 4-foot-tall wooden fence. “Our terrier was curious, but they can fly enough to get away,” said Carly Tempest. “They’re fast when it comes to insects, too. A fly will fly by and—zap!— they’ll grab it.” The Tempests clean the coop every two weeks. And they feed the chickens vegetable and fruit scraps, bread crumbs and the kids’ leftovers that they throw in a bowl by the sink. They did have to cover the strawberries and vegetables with nets, though, as the chickens began pecking on the family garden. Grown chickens don’t need supplemental heat during winter, said Springs. Chickens are hardy, huddling together for warmth when the temperatures dip below freezing. The important thing, Springs said, is to keep the coop dry and draft free. Springs said he uses a heated coil to keep his chickens’ water from freezing during winter. Heated dog dishes would also work, he said. He also scatters seed on the snow outside their coop so they’ll mash the snow down and roam around. “The more they’re outside, the healthier they are,” he said.
RAISE A HEN Want to raise a hen? Here are a few pointers to get started: The primary egg-laying chicken is a white Leghorn, which lays one egg a day. But these chickens have a flighty disposition and are not suitable for backyards, said Picabo farmer Dick Springs: “You don’t want anything to do with them. You will end up chasing them all over the county.” The best backyard chickens are Rhode Island Reds, Australorps and Barred Rocks. They’re mellow, even-tempered and can take cold, snowy Idaho winters. Chickens start laying at six months and lay prolifically between eight months and three years of age before trailing off. They lay larger eggs—the jumbo size—as they grow older. You can count on eight eggs from a Rhode Island Red or one of the other suggested hens every 10 days during summer. During
November 13, 2013
winter, when there’s less than 14 hours of daylight, they will lay only about two to three eggs every 10 days. They can be tricked into laying more with artificial light. But, Springs said, chickens lay only so many eggs in a lifetime so you’re shortening that egg-bearing span. Chickens can live six to seven years if a fox doesn’t get into the henhouse. When the chickens die, they can be used as stewing chickens or for chicken stock. “One of the beauties of keeping chickens is that nothing goes to waste. You can even use the feathers for fly tying,” said Springs. Chickens can be ordered by mail or at hatcheries like Dunlap Hatchery in Caldwell. It’s best to buy day-old chickens, as you’re apt to spend $15 to $20 for a six-month-old chicken ready to lay that would have cost $12 to raise, said Springs. There’s no need to buy organic feed—no organic feed is produced in Idaho and the cost is not worth it, said Springs. The Black Cat Pellet Mill in Gooding has good feed, Springs said. D&B Supply in Twin Falls has good starter food, as well. If you want grain, buy whole oats and wheat at a fraction of the cost of ground grains. Give hens alfalfa pellets in winter to substitute for grass. Medicated feed or antibiotics is not necessary. Keep chicks under a 90-degree heat lamp their first week. Raise the lamp up so it’s 5 degrees cooler each week. Leave the chicks enough room to move around that they can find a comfort zone. Lock the door to the henhouse at night when they roost so predators can’t get to them. Solar-powered Nite Guard anti-predator lights, available for $25, can protect chickens from hens when mounted on top of coops and from four-legged predators when mounted next to the henhouse door. A drip system for water allows homeowners a chance for vacations. A chicken will drink two cups of water a day during summer and one during winter For more information, check out such books as “Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance” and “Backyard Poultry Naturally.” tws
Linderman Addresses Leadership: It Includes Such Practices As Simply Dressing Down STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

any of the moms of the 1950s and ’60s may not have had jobs outside the home. But they influenced both husband and children with a transformational style. The majority of female leaders in the business world use the same style, motivating others by transforming self-interest into the goals of organization, says Leeanne Linderman, executive vice president of Zions Bank. Men’s leadership, by contrast, tends to manifest itself as a series of transactions using power and authority. Linderman, who herself has twice been named as one of the most powerful women in the banking industry by the American Banking Association, recently outlined the keys to exemplary leadership as part of the bank’s Community Speaker Series held from time to time at the Sun Valley Lodge. Leadership is ultimately about a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen, according to Alan Keith of Genentech, Linderman notes. Five practices of exemplary leadership: • Model the way. Be crystal clear on your principles. Scott Anderson, chief executive officer of Zions, has done that, creating guiding principles for the bank’s employees to follow. • Inspire a shared vision. Martin Luther King did just that with his “I Have a Dream” speech, which still moves people today, says Linderman. “Every social movement begins with a

Fiorina, who started out as a receptionist with a real estate firm, spent her first year with Hewlett-Packard traveling the world and listening to the ideas of her co-workers in a company where people literally didn’t know what co-workers across the hall did.

Mary Austin Crofts hasn’t been afraid to get down in the trenches with the people with whom she’s working, as exemplified by her attempt to scoop this doggie bone through a ring in an attempt to encourage people to scoop their dogs’ poop on the ski trails during the BCRD’s 2001 Doggie Carnival.
Case in point: One flight attendant asked everyone to take a window seat since the plane wasn’t full that particular day. “Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,” he said. “I didn’t want Delta—the plane sitting next to us—thinking we were empty.” “I can’t imagine a flight attendant on Delta saying something like that!” Linderman adds. “But that flight attendant felt enabled.” You have to share power and information, which enhances others’ sense of self-worth and energizes followers. Use a conversational style that invites participation, she says. • Finally, encourage the heart. Recognize and celebrate success. Create a culture of celebrating values and victories.

Foster collaboration in which you encourage and make it possible for others to do good work. That may be something as simple as changing the dress code to allow employees to be more comfortable. Southwest Airlines did that when they allowed flight attendants to wear clothes that more comfortably allowed them to do the work they needed to do, rather than wearing stuffy suits. That attitude encourages them to take risks to make the flights more memorable for the passengers, Linderman says.

ighth and ninth graders at The Sage School volunteered with Idaho Fish and Game officials on several recent projects: collecting sagebrush seeds for future reseeding of fire restoration areas, harvesting scrub willow for future replanting, and then planting pruned scrub willow “poles” along the Big Wood River for shade and the restoration of cattle-eroded banks. The students’ efforts were part of The Sage School’s Community Action program. Students participate in service projects on a weekly basis throughout the school year, learning about themselves and their role in the community while helping organizations such as The Hunger Coalition, the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, and Idaho Fish and Game.
Panel to Discuss Higher Standards
State and local leaders from business, higher education and the K-12 education community will discuss higher standards for K-12 education at 6 p.m., this Tuesday, Nov. 19 at The Community Library in Ketchum. The title of the panel discussion is “Expect More: Idaho Core Standards and the Shift to Rigor, Critical Thinking and Deeper Understanding for All Students.” Idaho Core Standards are higher standards in math and English language arts that will prepare every Idaho student for the future. States took the lead to develop new academic standards that are rigorous, more in-depth, and comparable with other countries. Blaine County schools have been preparing for the Idaho Core Standards for several years; this fall teachers began teaching to the higher standards in math and English language arts. A new assessment of the standards will begin this spring with a field test. The state-led effort includes 45 other states that responded to the call from the business, higher education and K-12 education communities for standards aligned across the country that would meet the challenges of the 21st century. The panel will discuss the potential impact of the Idaho Core Standards on K-12 education, higher education and business. A question and answer session will follow the panel discussion and materials will be available about the Idaho Core Standards.

enee Shapiro, a junior at Wood River High School carrying a 3.8 G.P.A. has a passion for a life on Baldy and immersing herself in freestyle skiing. Last year she competed in the Nationals and the Junior Olympics and has high hopes for the season ahead. At Wood River she is a member of the National Honors Society and is a member of the compassionate young leaders who hope to fund a trip to India this spring. Shapiro moved to the valley at age 7 from North Conway, New Hampshire. “It was a small town like here but I’m really glad we moved to Idaho. There are so many incredible opportunities here and you can really throw yourself into the immenseness of what we have here. The only downside is the lack of activities for kids so I’d have to say that a part of me is ready to move on and possibly experience life in a city.” For her skiing began at the tender young age of 3. “My earliest memories are of growing up in the east there was a lot of ice. I also remember my first ski program in elementary school. It seemed like I was always at the top of the group and that I always found myself skiing with the boys. I think I really wanted to take it farther than just having fun.” Moving to Idaho was a real eye opener. “It was incredible to come here. I now get the

opportunity to come to a lot of places but there is nothing like Baldy. There’s just so much terrain, the facilities and the lodges are top notch and it’s so beautiful. Compared to back east it’s just so much bigger and there’s real snow and a lot of it.” She started competing five years ago by going to regionals and hoping to accumulate enough points to go to the nationals. In freestyle scores are broken up into 25% time, 25% on your jumps and 50% on technique. Last year she competed in the nationals in Heavenly, California. “The competition encompasses all ages and you are competing against Olympians. It’s just an incredibly big competition and a celebration of the season. Also you can find yourself competing against your
hero and the people that you aspire to be like. There you are riding the chairlifts with gold medal winners and the weather is beautiful and you’re skiing in T-shirts with all your friends. It doesn’t get any better.” Why did she choose freestyle? “All my friends were racers and I never connected to it. There is just a different spirit with freestyle. It’s a lot freer and less regulated than downhill. I took up moguls because I tore my ACL in the half pipe and love it because it incorporates speed, jumping and skiing. Plus you have to be a really good skier to do it. You can’t just hop in and hope for the best.” You can be sure that the best is what’s in store for this skier. tws

Community School Students Show Experimental Gardens
STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
he snow has yet to settle in around the valley. But it’s never too early to start thinking about next spring’s gardening. Community School eighth-graders are conducting a year-long experiment in gardening, trying to see what forms of gardens work best in our high-altitude mountain zone. They showed off their experiments a few weeks ago during a presentation focusing on local sustainable eating sponsored by Nurture and the Community School that brought a full auditorium of parents and kids to the Community School to watch the movie “What’s On Your Plate?” A hoop garden made of plastic draped over PVC pipes allows the sun to shine through the plastic, warming the seeds. The greenhouse, which cost $60 in materials, worked well during the fall but may not work so well this winter and spring, said student Blake Harmon. A greenhouse made of corrugated plastic lets the light through to heat up the greens inside it. A solar hot water heater heats the soil when it gets cold. The lettuce, spinach and bok choy inside have done well even with temperatures dipping into the high 20s, said Matt O’Connor. The red lettuce is especially tolerant of cold. One of the least expensive means of gardening are the empty two-liter soda bottles the kids have filled with dirt and seeds and strung up in the windows. They’ve placed some horizontally

and strung some vertically. They’re easy to care for and use recycled materials. The disadvantage is you’re limited in the crops you can grow because of the limited space. Green butter lettuce and kale do well because they have short roots that can establish themselves in just 1 to 2 inches of dirt. Herbs also grow well, said Isabella Bourret. The bottles strung vertically are arranged so that the water drips from the top one into the two on the bottom. The kids have planted herbs, lettuces and radishes in these. “We water them every day except for the weekends,” said Libby Lindstrom. Certainly, the most colorful garden is the pink one lit up by LED lights in one of the classrooms.
ful interpersonal communications. Jaime Rivetts, M.S., Ed., social learning specialist and executive director of Idaho Social Learning Center, will offer valuable insight to help people of any age, with any level of social learning challenge, become more balanced social learners.
Kai Younger, Kristina Poydenis, Lucy Griswold, Grace Hoffman and Katie Peters said such a setup allows people to grow veggies year-round without sun, even in a closet. The setup provides plants with the high concentration of blue and purple light wavelengths, which the sun offers. A timer ensures that the plants don’t get burned. The garden took $523 of materials to set up, with each light costing $250. But, once constructed, it costs just $2.06 per month to operate. “It’s good for places like this where we have a short growing season, or cities where there is no sunlight because of the tall buildings,” said Younger. “You can even grow vegetables in your crawl space with one of these.” tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR NOV. 13 FROM PICABO ANGLER
D
ays of autumn and days of inter continue to intermingle in the valley as we await our first winter storms of the season. The fishing remains lovely as the days are mostly warm and calm by late afternoon. The Silver Creek fish are rising on occasion to Baetis and Midges. Anglers are turning more and more frequently to small soft hackles, fished just beneath the surface, before and after the hatches. Fished on a tight line, with a downstream swing, the challenge lies in fishing light tippets and not breaking off on the tight line take. Be forgiving on the hook set and trust that the fly will stay engaged. 5X is about right for this finesse technique. For added challenge try fishing the soft hackle directly to an individual fish when you see nothing but their backs breaking the surface, indicating the Emerger bite is on. Cast just upstream with a little spit on the fly and when you see the trout’s back break the surface and think your fly is in that zone, give your rod the Silver Creek lift! Duck hunters enjoyed a fair weekend in the field after a small push of birds came and went with the foul weather at the end of last week. It seems as though we are on the cusp of some great hunting on Silver Creek. The window before winter sets in, is small, but can be full of action on Silver Creek, Magic Reservoir and Carey Lake, as well as numerous ponds, ditches, and creeks. Picabo Angler is carrying waterfowl loads for 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. Watch the weather and don’t hesitate to hunt – even the nice days, after our weekly storms pass through. The northern birds are spending those clear, calm days finding where they want to be and seem to be moving a lot. The nice day after that nice day – not so good. Upland hunting been pretty decent lately, most likely because the weather has been nice enough to climb the country and the temperatures have been cool enough to allow bird dogs to do their thing most mornings. It’s a great time of the season for bird chasers, so get out and take advantage of it before ridgelines turn to cornices! Amazing days out there right now. Hunt, Fish or just go sit next to the Creek! You’ll love every moment.

Living Well UI-Blaine Extension Tips
to your health
Pesky Pine Needles
I
was looking outside my office window yesterday at all the fallen pine needles, wondering what I could do with them instead of just raking and throwing them away. After a little research online I came across several great ideas. You can try using pine needles as mulch. It is the easiest way to get rid of large quantities of pine needles and you can use it as a weed-reducing covering on your garden paths. With normal gardening activities, the pine needles are compressed and broken down by midsummer. If you have more needles than garden paths, consider saving them in bags for additional summer mulch applications. My brother’s strawberries are mulched exclusively with pine needles. It’s the best mulch he’s found for plants like strawberries that are perennial and benefit when their fruit rests above the soil. The stiff pine needles allow plenty of air and water to reach the soil and don’t compact when left undisturbed. The strawberry runners are able to dive beneath the needles and root, creating new sister plants. Another use for pine needles offers an indirect benefit for gar-
dens. Beekeepers use smoke to control their bees as they inspect and manage their hives. Pine needles are perfect as the fuel in metal smokers. Many beekeepers budget the cost of fuel, often burlap or cotton, into their beekeeping and would welcome the opportunity for free fuel. Contact your local beekeepers association or beekeepers you may know and offer them a bag of pine needles as smoker fuel. There are countless more ideas for pine needle crafts and uses online; here are just a few that I would love to try: pine-needle tea (high in Vitamin C), sachets, bundled pine needles for fire starters in indoor/outdoor fireplaces, homemade outdoor pillows or mattresses, pine-needle compost pile, pine-needle dolls, and much more. Now when I look outside at the pine needles I see potential for gardening-saving tips and fun craft ideas. tws

Ways to Prevent and Treat The Common Cold BY LUKE SNELL
T
he common cold is the single most frequent infectious disease in humans, with the average adult contracting two to three colds each year and the average child contracting between six and 12. Symptoms for this viral infection can vary, but usually start with a sore throat and progress to nasal congestion, low-grade fever, runny nose, and cough. The symptoms typically last 7-10 days, but usually peak in 2-4 days. Symptoms of the common cold are not only annoying, but lead to missed days at work and school, and occasionally the cold can progress to a more serious respiratory infection. The ideal scenario is to prevent infection from colds in the first place. This task is especially daunting during the winter months when the common cold is most prevalent. However, there are certain measures that can be taken that have proven efficacious. Frequent hand washing is the key to prevention since transmission usually occurs from respiratory droplets coming in contact with your hands via a contaminated hand or object. Other preventive measures include proper diet, exercise, and vitamin supplementation to keep the immune system primed in case exposure does occur. Vitamin supplementation should
include, at a minimum, a good multivitamin in addition to a hefty dose of Vitamin D. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the proper dose. If preventive measures prove to be ineffective and early cold symptoms arise, immediately begin taking zinc. If taken within 24 hours of the first symptoms, zinc has been shown to lessen the severity and duration of a cold and can be taken in lozenge form every couple of hours. Decongestants, antihistamines, expectorants, cough suppressants, and antipyretics/analgesics can help patients manage cold symptoms. Factors to consider when selecting products include: symptoms, medical conditions, allergy history, and current drug regimen, as well as lifestyle and personal preferences. Diabetics should utilize sugar-free options and those with high blood pressure and/or heat conditions should avoid decongestants. Treating children, especially young children, for the common cold has become increasingly difficult in recent years due to more strict recommendations from the Food and Drug Administration. Currently, the FDA does not recommend the use of the most common cough and cold products used for adults in patients younger than 2 years old. Labeling on most of these products actually restricts the use of these remedies for ages 4 and younger
unless a physician is first consulted. These recommendations have left parents feeling helpless when they learn their pharmacist cannot recommend anything to help their infant or toddler. Though limited, there are still options available for treating cold symptoms in the younger population. The use of a room humidifier or vaporizer can help moisten the child’s nasal and oral passages. Saline drops directly in the nose are also effective. Once moistened, the use of a bulb syringe may be used to remove mucus. Homeopathic remedies for cough and cold do exist and many can be used for infants and toddlers. Preparations that include honey to suppress the cough are ideal. Fever and body aches can still be treated with Ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but proper dosing should be confirmed with your doctor or pharmacist. Editor’s Note: Honey is known to cause botulism in infants– for this reason, honey should not be given to infants tws under 12 months of age.

I
t’s no secret that each and every one of us is lucky to live in Blaine County. Whether an avid mountain biker, leisure skier, or business owner, the people and this community provide a thriving atmosphere for anyone who is willing to invest in the Wood River Valley. Wow-students was started in 2012 as an initiative of the Wood River Foundation, to promote community responsibility by inspiring citizens to invest their time, talent, or treasure in Blaine County. The vision is to create a stronger community through generosity. The belief is that if each individual recognizes they have the ability to make a difference, a stronger and more vibrant community will result. In 2012, wow-students’ investors contributed $120,000 to the Student Generosity Initiative to engage its 4,000 countywide students. They partnered with the classrooms in Blaine County and it’s nonprofits to not only show the benefits of coming together for the greater good of the community, but that generosity can be fun too! The participating nonprofits were tasked with creating projects that the students could choose. The projects were designed specifically for kindergarten through 12th grade students to engage them in creative and measurable ways. The goal was for the students to discover that no effort or investment is too small to make a difference. The classrooms chose the project and learned how they would be directly affecting the community. The projects ranged from creating welcome packs for The Advocates to planting trees for the Wood River Land Trust to serving ice cream at The Connection. The private and public schools in collaboration with the nonprofits of Blaine County have created experiences that demonstrate to every student the joy and power of gener-

GENEROSITY QUOTE
y grandparents laid the foundation of generosity and compassion for me early in life. My first recollection was giving “my things” to the Junior League Rummage sale in San Diego. That led to over twenty years of volunteering at the sale and almost a half-century of serving on nonprofit boards. It all came together in 2012, wow-students’ inaugural year. The joy of generosity was driven home when I attended the Community School assembly in October, where each class pitched their selected project to the upper school students hoping they would join them. A very emotional morning- it had begun! From there it just got more joyful; bowls of Amaryllis, dissecting fish, horses and kids, dogs and kids, sign making for a para-athlete Nordic event, public art and of course the Ugly dolls. What more could one ask for. The genesis of wow-students was to provide an opportunity for our youth to experience generosity and learn about the broad reach of services that the nonprofits provide their community. Selfishly, I couldn’t have crafted a more joyful experience for me. I invite everyone in our community to join us on this journey and experience generosity personally and through the eyes of valley’s youth. GET TO KNOW ‘EM • GET THEIR STATS!

Community School Students Present One Act Plays This Friday and Saturday
part because it was so beautifully and sensitively told. I almost felt that Hosseini could have stopped there after finishing the book. But no, there was another half of a book to go. That was also told well but, after that first tale, it was almost anticlimactic. Anyway, this may just be my take and I have written this review because I do think if you haven’t read them yet, that this book, or his very first book, The Kite Runner, or the second book mentioned above, are very worthwhile to add to your reading repertoire. Additionally, I think that it’s very nice and interesting to get an Afghanistan author’s slant on this world in which we live. Give us your feedback at margot6@mindspring.com tws
Community School’s Drama Club will present its 13th annual One-Act Festival this weekend, an event that promises to be full of hilarity. This year’s evening of comedy, titled Hiccups and Hijinks, features short, off-center skits that range in subjects from adolescent pranks, to the pressures of being popular, to solving the mystery of hiccups. The evening will also highlight a student-written spoof of The Little Mermaid as well as a few short romantic comedies, featuring an old-time favorite, The Universal Language. The festival is student-driven, where students not only act, but also direct and produce the shows (with a little help from an “adult consultant”).

The Hailey Public Library’s adult book club group is discussing Wallace Stegner’s Angle of Repose at 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21. This is book two of five based on the theme of Western Fiction. New
And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini, Hardback, 416 pages, Copyright May 2013 BY MARGOT VAN HORN
T
his is the third book that I have read by Hosseini. It has received rave reviews, but then, they all have. I liked them all, but for my taste, so far, I enjoyed the second one, A Thousand Splendid Suns, the best. Maybe because it was more slanted to the female’s vantage and I felt that it was well told in a consistent manner. No matter. I certainly do admire Dr. Hosseini’s successes in his life thus far. He certainly is not very old—48—and seems to have accomplished much in his short time on this planet. He
has garnered an M.D. degree, for which he practiced over 10 years. However, I heard him on NPR just recently and he stated that he’s not practicing medicine any longer. Writing and storytelling has become his passion and he seems to be doing well in that endeavor. “And The Mountains Echoed” takes place not only in Afghanistan, from where Hosseini originally hales, but also on the San Francisco peninsula, Paris and Greece. This story tells about lost love, found-again love but too late, and love unrequited¾all connected to one family. In particular, what started the chain of events of trying to reunite bonds was the tragic separation of a brother and sister. My tears flowed for the first

T
he new movie Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa isn’t high art, but it sure can be funny in spots, so warm up your DVD player, invite the gang over and share some laughs. Of course, you’ll have to wait a couple of months because the picture is still playing in theaters, but is probably more fun at home. Taken from the successful Jackass TV show, which features YouTube-worthy pranks, Bad Grandpa takes one of the characters from the show (Johnny
Knoxville as the 86-year -ld Irving Zisman) and parlays it into a full-length feature. There is a story, and an assortment of hidden camera stunts, a la Borat, with an unsuspecting public. Some fall flat but some are uproarious. With an R rating, unfortunately, most of them cannot be related in this newspaper. Never mind. If crudeness is your cup of tea, this is the ticket for you. The story itself isn’t that bad. Knoxville, as Zisman, is given the task to take his precocious (that’s an understatement) grandson Billy, played by Jackson Nicol, cross-country to be left in the care of his father.
This sets up the series of pranks as they make their way across America. Some of the funny moments showcase Zisman being caught in a hospital bed that maniacally folds up on him and a drunk Zisman trying to order food at a drive-thru. Far and away the best scene is one that I can’t detail here but that involves an innercity bar featuring a strip show for the ladies. When Zisman joins in, he brings the house down. The film is directed by Jeff Tremaine but is surprisingly co-written and produced by Spike Jonze. It’s a good time, but not for the easily offended.

Sun Valley Artist Series Announces Lineup Sun Valley Artist Series, now entering into its fifth season, has scheduled a number of exciting classical music concerts for the Wood River Valley this winter. On Monday, Dec. 30 at 7 p.m., the Claremont Trio will perform a classical music concert that is certain to prove a perfect addition to the holiday season. This will be the second visit to our valley by this talented piano trio from New York. Their sold-out performance here last year was one of the Christmas season’s undeniable highlights. On Feb. 8 at 7 p.m., pianist Jerome Rose will take the stage in a virtuoso solo performance that will feature works by romantic and classical music composers including Beethoven, Chopin, and Schubert. Mr. Rose has been hailed as the “Last Romantic of our age” and is one of America’s most distinguished pianists. On March 13 at 7 p.m., cellist David Requiro will be accompanied by New York pianist Solon Gordon in a performance that will include a wonderfully moving work for cello written by Frédéric Chopin. Mr. Requiro, a firstprize winner of the prestigious Naumburg International Violoncello Competition, is widely considered one of the finest young cellists of our generation. On the weekend of April 11-13, Sun Valley Artist Series will present an inaugural three-day piano festival featuring solo and concert performances by some of our country’s top pianists. This weekend event will be sure to
please piano lovers in our community. Announcements regarding times, venues, and performing artists coming soon.

Perception is Not Reality By Patrick M. Buchanan, State Farm® Agent
W
hen it comes to American families and financial planning, perception is not reality. Although they are overwhelmingly optimistic about their financial future, their financial planning habits paint quite a different picture, according to a recent study commissioned by State Farm Life Insurance Companies and conducted by KRC Research. The study reports that although 82 percent of Americans are optimistic about their financial futures, American families in reality are not adequately saving or protecting their finances. From saving habits and financial goals to life insurance coverage and retirement saving tools, American families have room to grow when it comes to protecting their financial futures. Americans cannot just “hope for the
best”; they must take a critical look at where they are financially and lay out a clear roadmap that guides them to their hopes and dreams. Key highlights from the study show the gap between perception and reality: Savings Habits Perception: Most Americans (82 percent) are optimistic about their financial futures. Reality: Nearly four in 10, more than 77 million Americans, say that they live paycheck to paycheck and are not able to put money into savings. Life Insurance Perception: More than seven in 10 Americans are confident that they have enough life insurance. Reality: Only 12 percent of Americans report having the industry recommended coverage of seven or more times the family’s annual income. Retirement Savings
Perception: The majority of Americans (58 percent) are not worried about outliving their retirement savings. Reality: Many Americans are not utilizing a full range of retirement tools. Social Security is the most prominent source of retirement income over other retirement savings tools, with a fifth of Americans reporting that it is their only or main source of retirement income. The sooner you start planning for your future, the better off you’ll be. Small investments made early can make a big difference in your financial health later in life. Don’t put off planning for your future. tws About the Author State Farm agent Patrick Buchanan is a fully licensed insurance agent and is a certified Registered Representative providing insurance and financial services.
rinh’s Nail Salon is located in South Woodside across from Power Engineers at 4041 Woodside Blvd., #2, Hailey. It is a quaint salon with just Trinh and her father that work there. But don’t let that fool you. Trinh has been doing nails and facials for 11 years. She has worked in the Valley for the past eight years and has been in her space for the last four and a half years. Her goal is to bring the Vietnamese spa experience to the Valley. In Vietnam, when a person goes to the spa, it is an entire day with manicure, pedicure, facial and massage, but also at a fraction of the price. Trinh wants everyone to have that same relaxed experience at an economical price. Trinh’s mother took her to get her nails done when she was 10 and she loved the experience. She began her training in Vietnam with an instructor that at the time was so strict he drove her crazy but now she understands why he was so strict; it made her a more thorough technician. If she did not do her practice perfectly or there was a line in her nail polish, he made all of his students start over. When
she came to the United States, she furthered her education by attending cosmetology school. I was shocked to hear that she enjoys doing pedicures the most. She enjoys being able to help people feel more comfortable by helping them clean their cuticles and treat ingrown toenails, which makes her clients feel more comfortable in their shoes. She performs mostly pedicures and acrylic nail applications and massages. She does massages but so does her father. Let me tell you that the massages are absolutely amazing. I can’t recommend them enough. You get a thorough, deep-tissue massage with hot rocks and warm washcloths that will leave you completely de-stressed. Trinh wants to thank all of her clients. “They help me and teach me and support me! They make my day and my work even more enjoyable.” Her clients feel just as grateful for Trinh’s service. While I was interviewing her, another woman spoke up and said how amazing she (Trinh) is; she remembers details about people from their last appointment a month prior—remarkable!

Local Gal Wins Rotarun Ski Pass for Forecasting Snow A Wood River Valley resident has won a season pass to Rotarun for her guess at the date of the first snowfall at the Hailey ski area. Andrea Walton of Hailey guessed that the first appreciable snowfall on Rotarun Ski Hill would be Oct. 30, and was the closest to the actual first
snowfall on Oct. 28. Walton won a 2013-14 season pass to Rotarun for her forecasting prowess. “Rotarun is such a fun mountain. I love to get together with friends for a sunny, laid-back day,” said Walton. “The mountain is very family-orientated and reminds me of the televi-
sion show, Cheers, because “everyone knows your name!” “I am thrilled that I won a season pass to Rotarun. I am looking forward to making some turns this year!” she added. For more info, visit www.RotarunSkiArea.org.

Celery and Carrots With a Kick BY MARGOT VAN HORN
T
his is such an easy and delicious dish. Celery is rarely thought about other than enjoying it in its raw state, which is too bad because it really is delicious when cooked. So, give it a try in this recipe, and enjoy. Braised Celery and Julienned Carrots Caribbean Style Serves 2-4 Ingredients: 5 to 10 leafless stalks of celery—cut into small pieces 1 to 2 carrots—julienned 1-2 Tbsp. butter 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil 1-2 Tbsp. flour 1- 1 1/2 C. chicken stock 1-2 tsp. Caribbean Marinade—recipe found on my blog and here as well Dash of soy sauce 1/4 to 1/2 C. slivered almonds, which you have lightly browned in 1-2 Tbsp. butter
Directions: In a deep wok-like pan melt and heat the butter and olive oil. Cook and stir the celery and carrots for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with flour. Cook, stirring for about 2 more minutes. Add the stock, marinade and soy sauce, stir, bring to a boil then turn the heat to low. Cover and cook until the celery is tender but still a bit crunchy (about 10-15 minutes). Uncover and if you think that you have too much liquid, boil off some of the liquid. When the mixture has a saucy garnishee look, add the almonds. Perfection!!! Caribbean Marinade Makes about 1/2 to 3/4 C. Ingredients: 1 head of garlic, peeled 2 Tbsp. oregano 2 tsp. cumin seeds 1 tsp. black peppercorns 2 bay leaves
727-1708
1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 orange—rind sliced off and chopped small; orange juiced 1 ruby red grapefruit—rind sliced off and chopped small; grapefruit juiced 1/4 C. lemon Juice
Directions: In a food processor, put ingredients listed above. The orange, grapefruit and lemon juice should add up to 1/2 C. total juice. Process so nice and smooth but still chunky. For the leftover marinade, put in sealed jar and refrigerate. It’ll last for several weeks and you can use it for chicken, pork and other veggie dishes.

(800) 376-3608 • 409 S. COLE ROAD, BOISE, ID www.HarrisonHotelBoise.com
1/2 tsp. salt 3 eggs (Omega 3 organic) 3/4 C. oil (I use extra virgin olive oil) 3/4 C. buttermilk 1 C. honey
2 C. organic carrots 1 8-oz. can organic crushed pineapple, drained 1/2 C. nuts (I use pecans, or raw sunflower seeds are also good) 1/2 C. sesame seeds (raw) 1/2 C. coconut
Now add the carrot mixture to the egg mixture then add the dry ingredients. Mix together well with a spoon (no mixer) and put in a greased and floured angel food cake pan. Bake at 350 for an hour then cool flat for an hour. By flat I mean the same way it sits in the oven, not upside down on a pop bottle like you do real angel food cake. The carrot cake will all fall out! After it’s cool, flip onto a plate or cake pan and punch holes in the bottom with a fork. Now pour the sauce over it (see below). Use extra sauce to serve on individual slices. You can save this in the fridge but must be warmed up when you use it. Sauce In a saucepan heat: 1/2 to 1 stick organic butter, 1/2 C. buttermilk, 1/2 C. honey Cook until almost boiling for about 5 min. Stir constantly--don’t let it burn. Then take it off the heat and stir in 1/2 tsp. baking soda. It will foam up so be sure there is enough room in your pan. It’s ready to go! Punch holes in cake with fork and pour over the top. Fabulous with vanilla ice cream. Thank you, Diane, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone! If you have (or know someone who has) a recipe to share, e-mail chef@theweeklySUN.com

play hard give back, from page 1 A business and marketing major, Brendel first tested his idea at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota where he was recruited to play NCAA hockey after playing hockey for one year in Tingsryd, Sweden. He honed his business plan over a 20-day journey into the White Clouds Wilderness sponsored by Wild Gift, a Sun Valley-based organization that provides mentorship and startup capital to young men and women. He tried out his idea back on campus, putting himself and the senior hockey players on a bag with his finance professor becoming his initial investor. And in January he set up business in a building that used to serve as a church and the home of Mama Inez Mexican restaurant on Warm Springs Road with seed money from a Wild Gift grant. The business meshes Brendel’s enthusiasm for athletics with a desire to use athletic endeavors as a springboard to better the world around him. He developed an interest and concern for the underdeveloped areas of the world through hockey, which allowed him to travel in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Kenya. “I want to take the tools that I learned from sports to positively influence the world,” Brendel said. “Athletes dedicate themselves mentally and physically, improving their team and their sport. Now I’m working with athletes to not only PlayHard, but GiveBack, putting the same amount of dedication to help implement change.” The athletes get the opportunity to choose the ingredients they want in their mix. Rusch, for instance, chose dried mango, golden raisins, ginger, dried cranberries, salted pumpkin seeds, salted cashews and hazelnuts for her Sweet and Spicy Mix. Halfpipe standout Tai Barrymore chose macadamia nuts, dried pineapple, coconut, sweetened banana chips and yogurt-covered raisins for his. Currently, Brendel is selling a thousand bags a month at places like Atkinsons’ Market and Main St. Market in Ketchum, as well as retail outlets in places like Tahoe City, Calif., where he features Tahoe athletes, such as U.S. Ski Team members Travis Ganong and Marco Sullivan on his bags. He hopes to see that number go to 3,000 bags a month, thanks the recent addition of markets in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. The business also hopes to entice organizations such as the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation the opportunity to buy the trail mix at wholesale prices of $4.95 per bag to resell for fundraising purposes. “We’re looking to disrupt the youth sports fundraising industry, to be the next Girl Scout cookie of action growth,” said Spencer’s father Jeff Brendel, who once operated the second Rocky Mountain Chocolate franchise in Park City. “Every youth sports organization has to raise funds through raffle tickets, selling candy bars or wrapping paper. We want to help facilitate that by adopting the Girl Scout cookie model. But, instead of selling cookies, we’ll have the organizations sell trail mixes.”
SUPPORTING HAILEY DUKE SQN Sport has partnered with PlayHard GiveBack to sponsor Hailey Duke in her effort to compete at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Hailey was diagnosed with a brain tumor and has battled with the effects and subsequent removal for the past two years. She competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C., and believes she is now in the best shape she has ever been.

heora Heckler felt as though she had the Midas touch when it came to gardening in Eugene, Ore. It didn’t take much to grow a cornucopia of produce. But she had to re-learn everything she knew about gardening when she moved to the Wood River Valley to take care of her aging mother. “I went from low elevation to high, from a wet climate to dry, from warm days to cold. Gardening is totally different here,” she said. Heckler and her sidekick Sean Jackson, who plays in various bands including Paddy Wagon, got the education in high-altitude gardening that they needed through The Hunger Coalition’s Hallie Reikowsky, who heads up the Coalition’s Hope Garden in downtown Hailey. And, since they live in an apartment where they have their own garden, they were able to participate in The Hunger Coalition’s new Grow Your Own program at The Hope Garden. The program was designed to allow participants to save money on food costs, learn new skills, improve their health by exercising and, of course, enjoy the produce they grow. It turned Heckler and Jackson into volunteers for The Hope Garden, as well. “When Hallie asks me to, I volunteer,” said Heckler. “And Sean’s the compost king. When Hallie needs anyone to work with the compost, Sean’s the man.” Heckler and Jackson started at the end of April with seeds for scarlet runner beans, carrots, strawberries, Swiss chard, tomatoes and peas, and other crops provided by The Hunger Coalition. They learned tricks for growing produce from seed at classes provided by The Hunger Coalition. This fall they savored the flavor of fresh produce. “It’s been fun growing our own food. And we’ve met some really nice people working in the garden,” said Jackson. The Hunger Coalition recently honored its volunteers with a party at The Hope Garden. Among them: Judy Friedemann, who has used her master’s degree in Spanish to help as a Spanish translator. “I spent 25 years in Spain. I didn’t want to get rusty,” she said. One of those the Coalition honored posthumously was Rafael Orozco, who died a little more than a year ago. “He helped plant the garden and he planted so many fava beans he drove me crazy,” Reikowsky said. “Now in memory of him, we’ve planted more fava
November 13, 2013
beans.”
Hope Garden trivia
The 10,000-square-foot Hope Garden, planted in May 2010 on the site of the old Blaine County jail, has produced more than 5,000 pounds of fresh, organically grown produce for distribution through The Hunger Coalition’s Mobile Food Bank. So far, volunteers have grown 95 herb, vegetable and fruit varieties. Here’s a few interesting facts about the garden: * Gooseberries in the berry patch need little water and don’t mind cold weather. * The pumpkin patch contains four varieties of eating pumpkins, which can be halved, roasted in the slow cooker and used in stirfries, soups and chili. * A plastic hoop house made of electric conduit pipes protects plants from frost, hail and wind and raises the bed temperature by up to 40 degrees. * The Hope Garden’s orchard contains cherry, plum, apple and hazelnut trees. * The compost created in composting bins can generate enough heat—140 degrees—to burn weed seeds. * The fava beans Rafael Orozco planted produce unique flowers and require little effort as they produce loads of nutritious protein. They also fix nitrogen to beef up soil nutrition.
Garden wish list The Hope Garden could use a few items: a birdbath, free-standing umbrella, weathervane, water walls, wooden Adirondack chairs, metal or wood wind chimes, free-standing wood swing and squirrel-proof bird feeder. To help, call 208-7880121 or email info@thehungercoalition.org. tws
Theora Heckler and Sean Jackson were among the first to participate in The Hope Garden’s new Grow Your Own program. It’s hoped the original participants will mentor new participants next year.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, I found an ad the other day from someone selling their 55-gallon salt-water fish tank with all the equipment including the fish. It sounded like an awesome deal. I remember having a small 10gallon tank as a kid. I only had a few goldfish, and in all honesty, I found them floating upside down most of the time. Guess I wasn't very responsible back then. However, the thought of having a large tank in our living room is really nice. I'm hoping it's entertaining enough that my kids put down their video games and come watch the fish with me. I have some reservations though. I've heard salt-water tanks can be rather difficult to maintain. Being a novice, I'm not even sure how to make the salt water. Do I just use table salt from the kitchen? Can you help me with the basics before I commit to this?

Fast Facts Gone Fishing
Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 11/10/13 ©The Classified Guys®
Owning an aquarium can be very fun and entertaining. It's estimated that nearly 15 million households own some type of fish tank. And since most are more than just one fish in a bowl, these aquariums hold an estimated 195 million fish. The popularity of fresh-water tanks far outweighs salt-water. Of the 15 million aquariums, only about 800,000 contain salt-water with about 7 million salt-water fish.

Most people start off with a small fresh-water tank that requires less maintenance and build into larger, more advanced aquariums as their interest grows. Carry: The good news is that if you master the care of the tank, the salt-water fish can be a great attraction to your home. Unlike other pets, you don't have to take them for a walk every day. Cash: With salt-water tanks, you can keep beautiful fish and also grow colorful plants or even reef-like environments. Before
you begin, its advisable you do your homework on the type of fish or plants you want to put inside. Carry: As you've already hinted, table salt isn't suitable for saltwater tanks. However, kits are available at your pet store that include the proper mixtures of salt and other nutrients needed for the tank. Cash: Salt-water aquariums require constant maintenance of temperature and salt content to keep a happy environment. Since you found a seller with the whole package, he may be a great source for information about the aquarium setup and maintenance. Carry: After all, the more you learn up front, the less time you'll spend buying replacement fish!
The animated movie "Finding Nemo" was set on a coral reef and starred an overly protective clownfish, named Marlin, in search of his son, Nemo. While the movie was entertaining, it has brought concern to the decline in wild clownfish populations on coral reefs. According to a recent study, areas where fishing and aquarium collecting are permitted, clownfish densities are 25 times lower than areas where no collecting is permitted. The study also suggests that the collection of breeding clownfish causes the anemones (home of the clownfish) to shrink, reducing the space for new fish to breed. It seems finding Nemos isn't really very helpful to the reef environment.
Reader Humor Whale Watching
Even after all these years of being married, my husband can still make me laugh. We live near the seashore between two open bays. Recently, a large whale made the local news for swimming into one of the bays and beaching itself on the shore. As we watched the report on TV, I asked my husband if he knew why a whale would swim up on the beach instead of going out to sea. Being a marine biologist, I thought he would offer some sort of scientific reasoning. Instead he replied, "It's similar to a chicken crossing the road." Looking at him perplexed, he continued, "The whale was trying to get to the other tide!" (Thanks to Betty H.)

510 thank you notes The students and staff of the Wood River Middle School would like to thank all those who helped to make this year’s book fair a wonderful success including Sarah Hedrick and her staff at Iconoclast Books, the Papoose Club, our many parent volunteers, and all those who supported us by visiting the library during the book fair and purchasing books. Not only did you help us raise money and purchase books for the school library, but you helped expand the classroom libraries of many of our teachers. What a generous community you are! Again, thank you. Cub Scout Pack #87 thanks Albertson’s and Atkinson’s for allowing us to collect food donations for Scouting for Food. We also want to thank

518 raves Having read a number of books about Vietnam, two of the very best that I’ve come across so far -- “When Heaven and Earth Changed Places” (1989), and “Child Of War, Woman Of Peace” (1993) -- are by the very same (Vietnamese-born) female author: Le Ly Hayslip. Read more about Hayslip -- and also the superb feature film that was based on both books (Oliver Stone’s “Heaven & Earth” (1993) -- at Wikipedia. I can’t recommend enough that Oscar-nominated drama, “The Impossible” (with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts) -- a VERY powerful and poignant film that, shortly after we saw it, inspired my girlfriend and I
to help out two women in Pennsylvania whom we don’t really know, and who we’ve never even met yet (since one of the movie’s main, overriding -- and wonderful -- themes is the notion that when people are in trouble you HELP them in whatever way (s) you realistically can ... even if you maybe ARE OVER-extending yourselves a bit in the process). Definitely a film neither of us will ever forget -nor would we ever WANT to!! :D :D Like something? Don’t keep it to yourself! Say it here in 20 words or less for free. e-mail your ad to classifieds@theweeklysun.com or fax it over to 788-4297 by Noon on Mondays.
