will summarize the mission, plans and goals of each of the several econom-ic development groups in the Wood River Valley.

Kylee Richmond, Wood River high School senior.

Kylee Richmond, Wood River High School

senior is a real achiever. “I feel that anything I put my mind to, I can attain,” she said. And in her short life she has proven this to be the case over and over again.

Born in Boise, Richmond has lived her whole life in the same house in Hailey. Along the way, she has attended Bellevue Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Wood River Middle School and now the high school. “I know a lot of kids want to get out of here, but I really love the Valley and the atmosphere of a small town. I also love to ski and this will be my first year on the cross-country team, so I’ve had the opportunity to run and see places that I’ve never seen before. Also, I’ve always been a small-town girl and love the fact that wherever you go, you see people you know. Cities just aren’t for me. I’ve been to Peru, Mexico, Hawaii and a lot of the states, but the biggest city I’ve been to is Lima. But I’d love to study abroad and go to Spain because I would love to learn the language.”

Her experience at Wood River High School has been great so far and she is proud to boast a 4.0 average. “I love the fact that there are 200 kids in a grade and that it keeps it close and personal. The teachers there want to teach and it’s a passion for them. They are just so dedi-cated to their jobs. I love science, but I really love math; I’m kind of a math nerd. Math always has an answer and I like the sense of accomplishment and completion to solve a problem and have the correct answer. My hope for the future is to be an orthopaedic surgeon. I broke my arm when I was twelve and it really opened up my eyes to the field. For my senior project, I will be shadow-ing a surgeon this fall and I’m really excited to view surgeries and have a bird’s eye view.” In the fall, Kylee hopes to attend the College of Idaho in Caldwell where both her grandparents attended. It is a small liberal arts college with an attendance of 1100. Her plan is to major in pre-med and then attend gradu-ate school.

To say she is a busy young lady is a tremendous understate-

ment. Most of her time is spent in community

service. “It’s just a part of me. Help-ing others gives you a feeling of self-worth that you can’t get anywhere else.” This year she

is serving as senior class vice president,

but she has held elective office since seventh grade.

She was class president her freshman and junior years. She is also a founding member of the Wood River Key Club that serves as an adjunct to The Kwanis Club. In that role, she assisted with The Toy Run and co-chaired the Camp Rainbow Gold Bikers’ Bar-B-Que. “Six hundred people attended and we had bands playing, and raffles. When the buses came around, all the bikers fired up their bikes. The kids didn’t get off the bus, but they were so excited. Their faces were priceless.”

She also had the honor to serve as Miss Teen of Idaho from 2007-2008, which is part of the Miss Teen of America Scholar-ship and Recognition Program. The following year she was for-tunate to place third in the Miss Teen of America competition. “Having the title opened up a tremendous amount of commu-nity service opportunities, like visiting the Shriner’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. When I won, it was the best day of my life. I can’t describe it. It just changed everything. I showed myself what I can accomplish and it opened up doors that never would have happened. At the Special Olympics, I still had the title and I was able to speak at the Boise Leadership Conference in front of a lot of celebrities. It was really cool to represent all the teens of Idaho.” She has also been the recipient of the bronze and silver Congressional Awards and this year will be working for the gold.

“It all gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. I’ve never been athletic, so I put all my drive toward achievements and awards. It’s a lot better than some other things. It requires a lot of self-motivation. I feel that if I put my mind to something, I can go out and get it. Nothing can stop me if there is something to accomplish – I’ll accomplish it.”

Richmond, self motivated towards accomplishment

Germination design on a clay pot by Acoma master potter D.J. Aragon.phoTo: BALI SZABo/TWp

I’m on my knees again, clearing out some dry

cheatgrass and gone-by gumweed, breaking up the clay hardpan, then banging the chunks against a fossilized rock. How can anything grow in this stuff? Nothing could be further from the truth.

What I see is not what I’ve got. Individually, clay from different parts of the world has a distinct crystalline signature. Under an electron microscope, they’re nanotubes, hexagonal columns, Einstein’s hair, or a dense array of leaves, with names like imogolite, kaolin, illite and mortmorillonite. Clay doesn’t readily settle out in water. Its particles are so fine it can take one grain 860 years to reach the bottom of a 4-inch column of water—sand takes one second; silt, five minutes. The connections to life are many. Clay encloses, it enfolds. Matrix is the old word for womb. Adam is the old Hebrew word for red clay.

Erwin Schrodinger was a physicist, wildly famous for an enigmatic experiment now dubbed Schrodinger’s Cat (1935) wherein he postulated that a cat enclosed in a box had to be dead and alive at the same time. This compelling piece of logic became a foundational metaphor of quantum physics. (Google it, and good luck with it). He was also interested in investigating the foundational building blocks of life. He felt that the basic component had to be an ‘ape-riodic crystal,’ an ordered and repeating structure quite unlike primordial slime just waiting for a lightning bolt. To him, life was related to crystal growth. DNA fills the bill, and so does clay, its predecessor. It has a highly reac-

tive surface. One gram has more surface area

than a football field. Under an elec-tron microscope, it’s full of holes, crevices and other interstitial spaces,

pregnant with po-tential. That’s only a glimpse. We still can’t see its levels of patterning. For that we need finer

atomic microscopic tools only now being

developed. On the mo-lecular level, clay is supple and dynamic—receptive to the seed and the subsequent dynamism that is life.

Modern-day CSI-type forensics find and implicate clay at every life scene. Except for life, it is the only substance in the universe that requires water for its birth and existence. Four-and-a-half-billion-year-old chondritic mete-orites often contain water, clay and amino acids. Those with no water have no clays; those with water but no clay lack organic molecules. Iron-rich clays react with UV rays and bond with CO2 and nitrogen to form citric acid, an organic compound from which amino acids can be built. At the aforementioned date, clay was a simple strand that morphed into complex designs that resemble coral reefs, lung alveoli, sponges and honey-combs. At the very least, clay is an accessory—an aider and abettor—a crucial enabler to life. At the most, it is alive. It has been said that soil is an interme-diary between the inorganic and organic realms. Who knew that getting down and dirty would be so rife with implication?

What’s life without dirt?

The Coal Men, most recently known for their hit song, “Farther Find Me Now” on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, will be preforming with Tony Furtado Thursday at the Brewery. CoURTESY phoToS

by LesLie thoMPson

Saying Tony Furtado is on tour might be as obvious as saying the sky is blue. His

seemingly never-ending touring schedule will be bringing him back to the Wood River Valley, again. So, if you missed your chance to see him during this year’s Fourth of July festivities, you’re in luck.

He’ll be bringing his rock, blues, pop, bluegrass and coun-try music fusion along with The Coal Men trio from Nashville. They’ll be stopping at the Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey this Thursday, Sept. 30 at 7 p.m.

Furtado has 14 albums under his belt; the most recent one, “Deep Water,” has 14 songs that he wrote specifically for the al-bum. The opening song on the al-bum, “The Bawds of Euphony,” is an instrumental banjo tune that could easily leave you feeling like there’s more to explore in the world than what you’ve seen so far. On his MySpace page, www.myspace.com/tonyfurtadomusic, you can listen to some of his songs, including a mesmerizing

rendition of Tom Petty’s “Run-ning Down A Dream.”

The Coal Men’s new album, Kids With Songs, features the song “Farther Find Me Now” which was heard on The Discov-ery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” show. The song has elicited many raves from the official fan page. You can hear that song and more at www.myspace.com/the-coalmen.

For more information about the show, contact the Sun Valley Brewing Company at 788-0805.

Editor’s NotEFor a complete look at music in the

Valley this week, including upcoming shows at the Brewery, turn to our com-prehensive calendar on page 9.

Furtado and the Coal Men

Tony Furtado returns to the Valley at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Ladies from Mountain

West Bank lend a hand

Photos and story by LesLie thoMPson

Last Thursday, the Hai-ley branch of Mountain West Bank closed their

doors at noon to participate in a community service project called “A Day of Caring” spon-sored by United Way.

Although they have done similar projects in the past, this was the first time, accord-ing to Hailey Branch Manager Heather Abrams, that they had focused on Bellevue.

Tom Blanchard, from the City of Bellevue, was pleased to have them help with the task of adding bark to the Trails at the Howard Pre-serve. The ladies worked hard at raking the paths to get them level — and their timing couldn’t have been better, as their was a wedding there the next day. In fact, the bride, Mary Johnson of Morgan Hill, Calif. strolled through with her family as they were get-ting familiar with the grounds for the event.

Participants included Mary Ella Guzman, Karla Wicks, Cecelia Farley, Sarah Gray, Erica De La Cruz, Jennifer Barayazarra, Daniela Piña and Morgan Timoney. They all enjoyed the project and giving back to their communi-ty. In fact, Wicks said, “I love giving back to the community that we work in and love!”

The Old Man and the Creek will be in the spotlight this weekend when the annual

Hemingway Symposium takes place.

Symposium organizers have arranged a trip to Silver Creek Preserve for the first time. It makes sense: after all, bird hunt-ing at Silver Creek was one of the primary reasons Hemingway returned to Idaho time and time again until he fi-nally bought a home in Ketchum.

“He had gotten past trout fishing by that time—he had really got-ten into deep sea fishing because he wanted something that took more from him. The only time he fished here was on behalf of Sun Valley Resort,” said Sandra Hofferber, The Community Library’s regional history librarian.

This year’s symposium kicks off with a pre-symposium talk by Ernest Hemingway’s nephew on Wednesday. That will be followed by the keynote talk by “Time” and “GQ” columnist Wal-ter Kirn at 6 p.m. Thursday.

The remainder of the schedule includes additional talks, two screenings of “The Hemingway Play,” a tour of Hemingway haunts in Ketchum and Sun Val-ley, and a nature and bird walk at The Nature Conservancy’s Sil-ver Creek Preserve near Picabo.

All events, with the exception of the two tours, will be held at The Community Library, 415 Spruce Ave. N., in Ketchum.

The symposium is free, thanks to a grant from the Idaho Hu-manities Council.

This year organizers have striven to make the symposium less of a eulogy and more perti-nent to the people of today, said Hofferber.

In that vein, several authors, including Brady Udall, Clay Morgan and Mitch Wieland, will discuss Hemingway’s influence on modern-day writers and writ-ing.

“He changed the way litera-ture was written,” said Hoffer-ber, who will lecture Saturday morning on “Hemingway in Idaho.” “And people still use Hemingway to prove their points about life and philosophy and the way to live.”

When Hemingway was here,

he was not the macho man he was portrayed as being in the press, said Hofferber. “The people who were here then de-scribed him as kind and gentle. The young people who were here then just remember him as an

old guy.”

symposiumHere’s the schedule

Local rebates can save you thousands

It’s not too late to save thou-sands in greening up your home or business.

Kicked off just a month ago, the Community Audit and Retrofit Rebate Program has generated lots of interest among locals looking to save energy and energy-related costs. This program will rebate home and business owners up to $2000 in material/audit costs for conduct-ing an energy audit and imple-menting recommendations. It is open to all property owners, both residential and commercial, in Sun Valley; Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue, Fairfield, Blaine County and Camas County.

The process is easy and every step is detailed in the ERC’s website www.ercsv.org: 1) Con-tact your local coordinator and make a reservation; 2) Get an energy audit done; 3) Implement retrofits; 4) Submit application packet.

All sorts of energy-saving retrofits are eligible, such as Energy Star appliances; lighting; insulation; shower and faucet upgrades; windows, doors and weather-sealing products.

This program was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to reduce energy waste and spark job creation and is already having a positive impact on our commu-nity. Hailey is the only partner that has a waiting list at the mo-ment, but don’t let this deter you.

These energy-efficient changes will lower your utility bills, increase the comfort and health of your home or build-ing, reduce your overall carbon footprint and increase the value of your property. And, if all that is not enough, these rebates can be “stacked” together with other state, federal and industry incentives for unprecedented savings.

eats & entertainment

Mercury, the great communicator of the cosmos, and Jupiter, the king of opulence, will oppose one another in an aspect that will be felt most of the week. This cold war of planets produc-es a funny scenario in which talking about what we want isn’t necessarily going to bring us any closer to getting it. Deeper strategies are needed. It will help to pay close attention to the desires of others -- especially to those they wouldn’t mention.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your powers of observation and insight are strong this week. pay careful attention to the questions people ask you. Most questions will reveal more about the person asking than your answer will reveal about you. Reflect the exact same question back to the asker and you’ll learn something truly interest-ing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You might want to rearrange your vision of the past. There’s a lot to let go of. This is true for most people, and you won’t be the only one working on this. Many don’t even have the courage to sort through the old baggage. Com-mend yourself. The way you see your history is just as important as how it really happened.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to make an impression. It’s not because you care so much about what

the other person thinks about you. It’s more because there’s something inside you that wants to prove what you can do. Even though you could get by doing much less, you feel that you must make the extra effort needed to rise to the top.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Socially, you’ll walk a fine line. You’re knowl-edgeable and connected and want to share. however, you also need to be sensitive to the egos of those around you. Acting at all superior to others will arouse antagonism. Remember that like equals like. Focus on the ways in which you are similar to the rest of your group.

LEo (July 23-Aug. 22). You won’t mind the strong personalities around you, and you’ll have no problem com-plying with a leader’s wishes, even the ones that seem over the top. Toler-ance levels for these types of things vary from person to person. Because you are so secure in your own skin, you will flip all challenging situations in your favor.

VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The state of your community has a daily effect on you, though because it’s in the background, you don’t think about it too often. If you feel good about the water and air quality, and if you feel safe walking down the street, count yourself among the blessed. offer up assistance for those who can’t say the same.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 23). It could be argued that going out to dinner or taking a vacation is a waste of money -- what do you have to show for it in the end? This thinking is wronghead-ed. Your experiences will actually stick with you long after the material goods you could have purchased instead have faded into obscurity.

SCoRpIo (oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll pay attention to your routine and notice the ways in which it is lacking. There seems to be enough time to do the work you must do, but very little time to explore options and extras. And yet, it’s those seemingly extra-neous activities that allow you to be most creative. Adjust to make more

time for them.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are most fulfilled when putting something into the world that wasn’t there before. You do need the right conditions in order to be creative, but it’s not what you think. There is noth-ing expensive to buy and no place ex-otic you need to go. It’s a simple, re-petitive task that will open you up to inspiration.

CApRICoRN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your task is interesting this week and will stimulate you on many levels. Take a whirling dervish approach to this work. Gather influences from all 360 degrees of your surroundings. Instead of being pulled in many directions and spinning out uncontrollably, you’ll stay contained and controlled as you spin inward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some-times you cross a goal off of your list because you accomplished it. other times, you cross it off because it’s been there so long it’s getting old. If it were really the right goal for you, you would have done it by now. Both of these reasons are good. Slash a goal off the list in order to make room for a new one.

pISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re the leader of a group, and this takes thought, energy and effort. By the end of the week, you’ll likely feel that you need a break from being in charge. You want others to operate indepen-dent of your direction. This will even-tually happen, but for now you still must steer the way.

ThIS WEEK’S BIRThDAYS: You’ll connect with loved ones daily this year, and those special bonds are what you will be most proud of. Through the next 10 weeks, your schedule will be as diverse as your interests. You’ll spend time in nature and will also en-joy weeklong cultural experiences. Be-cause of a change in November, your work becomes fascinating to you. And by February, it is of interest to the general public, too. You’ll change your appearance in May, perhaps due to a fitness kick.

Show Business, a hard day’s night

Show business is a tough row to hoe. In the fine new documentary, Joan Riv-

ers: A Piece of Work, we are given perhaps the most unblem-ished look at show business that we have ever seen. For a year and a half, cameras followed the comedy legend during her 75-year (she is now 77), and give us a very intimate view of this complex and driven woman.

Directed by Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg, the film begins with the startling sight of an unmade-up Rivers as makeup is slowly applied. It’s startling mainly for the fact that Rivers has become the poster child for excessive plastic surgery and to see her so exposed is shocking,

but a fitting prelude to such a truthful film.

Rivers’ long career has been a marvel, having had to recreate herself numerous times. Late in the film, she opens for Don Rickles, who is 85, and refer-ences George Burns, who performed into his nineties. There is no doubt the kind of longevity that Rivers is shoot-ing for. In the film, we also see her start from the small clubs in Greenwich Village to her stand-out performances with Jack Paar and Ed Sullivan. But the crux of her career was her relationship with Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show. Rivers, amazingly for a woman, arose to the seat of heir apparent for The Tonight Show by becoming Johnny’s permanent guest host. Shock-ingly, Rivers jumped to the new Fox Network as a direct competi-

tor with Carson, who re-fused her phone calls

and never spoke to her again. The show was a flop and the outcome was the suicide of Rivers’ husband and manager.The directors

were lucky in the year they followed Riv-

ers, from dive comedy clubs to 5,000-seat theaters, as it happened to coincide with her winning Celebrity Apprentice, which gave her career a huge boost. It also chronicles the hard work and love that she put into a one-woman show that didn’t get the reviews she had hoped for in London, and her painful decision to not bring the show to New York. Throughout, she bares her pain and insecurities in a way perhaps never seen before. Her addiction to working is formida-ble, as is her enduring talent.

the city’s Planning Department and introduced to the public last May. The Downtown Strategy document explains itself as “a scoping document to collect baseline data, help direct city budgetary and capital improve-ment decisions and strengthen eligibility for grants and other funding sources.”

“Since we don’t have an eco-nomic development position or the budget for one,” says Beth, “I absorbed the duties, did a lot of research, and talked and worked with a lot of dedicated people.” The Mayor’s Economic Develop-ment Team was formed this summer to honcho the Down-town Strategy, measuring future progress against established baselines.

The Mayor’s Team has their work cut out for them. The Downtown Strategy is designed to retain, grow, and attract small businesses and entrepre-neurship, diversify the economy beyond tourism and construc-tion, and attract/create higher education opportunities such as a training institute. The Strate-gy has 26 projects with timelines from four months to three years in four categories:

1. City design and infrastruc-ture, such as wayfinding signs and sidewalk improvements;

2. Organization elements, such as forming an Urban Renewal District to garner funds for infrastructure development;

3. Promotion and business development activities, such as business investment incentives, attracting young professionals, and documenting the Hailey brand;

4. Revisions to regulations and standards, such as evaluat-ing opportunities for mixed-use and multi-family residential infill development.

In doing her research, Beth learned, “There is no one school of economic development. We’ve chosen primarily to follow the Main Street program devel-oped by the National Trust for Historic Preservation with some ideas also from the American Planning Association.” In the long run, Beth suggests, it will be important for Hailey to have a designated economic director.

Heather credits the Regional Economic Strategy prepared by TIP Strategies for Sustain Blaine (Blaine County’s econom-ic development group) with also providing direction for Hailey’s Downtown Strategy. “The report raised everyone’s awareness about the need for regional col-laboration and business diversi-fication,” she says, adding, “We frequently talk with other local groups so we don’t go off on our own in a way that is counter to or duplicative of their work. The cities and county need to engage each other around what each can bring to economic development.”

Beth continues, saying, “No one organization can do this alone or represent everyone’s in-terests. The cities and the county are in this together, while each of us retains our own identity and style.” Flexibility is key, say both members of the Mayor’s Team, as they seek future para-digms for business and govern-ment that work in whatever the economy brings their city.

FIND A STOCK PHOTO OF SOME-THING GREEN/ENERGY RE-LATED (REFRIG-ERATOR?)

Find out how your home is wasting energy

and get up to A $2,000 rebate to fix it if you’re a Blaine County or Camas County resident.

A new Community Audit and Retrofit Rebate Program will rebate home and business own-ers up to $2,000 for an energy audit and any costs they incur implementing recommen-dations.

“The program will help us cur-tail our energy dependence and lower our car-bon footprint. It will make it more affordable for families to live here because it will lower their utility bills. And it will create jobs for the people making those homes more energy efficient,” said Craig Barry, director of Ket-chum’s Environmental Resource Center.

The rebate program is de-signed for residents of Sun Val-ley, Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue, Fairfield, Blaine County and Camas County. Those govern-ments worked with the ERC to take advantage of federal stimulus money provided by the American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act to improve energy efficiency.

The City of Carey was invited to participate but declined, said Barry.

The program offers a rebate on half of what an energy audit costs, up to $200. It gener-ally costs about $500 to audit a 2,000-square-foot home.

Property owners can then get up to $1,800 in rebates for things like new insulation to correct the problems identified in the audit.

In many cases they can add on more rebates, Barry said.

Those who need to replace a 20-year-old refrigerator, for instance, can get 30 percent off the cost of a new refrigerator through the program (50 percent off if they live in Bellevue, Cam-

as County or Fairfield).They also can take

advantage of a $30 rebate from Idaho Power, another $30 to have Idaho Power haul the old refrigerator away

and a $75 rebate from the state.

Given all that, the $1,500 refrig-erator could cost as little as $615 for

Bellevue or Fairfield residents who get a

50 percent rebate through the Community Audit and Retrofit Rebate Program.

Additional incentives for ma-terials such as insulation

are also available from Idaho Power and

the federal govern-ment.

Auditors test appliances, fur-naces and water heaters to see how much elec-tricity they’re

using. They can put a gasket over

doors and suck air out of homes with a fan

as a computer determines how leaky the house is.

Little air leaks add up to the equivalent of a 2-by-2-foot square hole, said Barry

“This is especially true with older homes because builders in the past didn’t pay attention to how tight the home was,” he added.

Hailey resident Lisa Horton said she’s looking forward to participating in the program, in part because of a friend’s experi-ence.

“She said she had done ev-erything she could think of to make her home and appliances more energy efficient and she was astounded at the things the energy audit suggested she could do beyond what she’d already done,” Horton said. “I want to save money on my utilities and I know I will because I can stand outside on my front porch and see the light coming through the door crack.”

The program has $251,972 to use for rebates on a first-come, first-served basis, Barry said. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Lana’s midnight shadow factor

ChaptEr 29

Although I’ve long been infatuated with Lana, something about her had

been bothering me, ever since the Fourth of July when she and I explored the subterranean tun-nels that web beneath Hailey’s Main Street. Throughout the festive holiday, she kept press-ing me to disclose the secret location of the second silver-laden pantechnivan. Then, right before we celebrated the fireworks, I noticed Lana leafing through my personal journal in the library. That wouldn’t get her very far, though, because I’ve written most of my notes in cryptic code. The thing that niggled at me the most was that when Lana and I embraced close on The Mint’s deck during the parade highlights, I noticed that she didn’t cast a shadow.

By having no shadow, I mean that as we hugged, I only saw one small silhouette on the north ground between the two of us. Granted, the parade ends at the same time the sun is near its zenith, but still, right when I noticed this strangeness, Lana made an excuse to dash inside The Mint, where the design of the lively dance hall makes it

difficult to distinguish indi-vidual shadows. That evening, too, as we walked out Quigley, it was too dark to say for sure, but every time a skyrocket went off, I noticed the same fleeting phenomena. Thinking back on it now, Lana chose a path so we wouldn’t walk past any mercury vapor streetlamps. She seemed utterly determined to not reveal anything to me about her dark-ness.

What was I to make of this? Actually, I hadn’t thought much about it since the holiday, and even less recently, now that sweet Amy had become a larger part of my life. Still, though, there was something irresistible about Lana, and if she wasn’t way down in L.A., I would prob-ably be more obsessed with her. Meanwhile, Amy graciously ac-cepted the sage pendulum I had purchased from Holli Jewelers. After determining which way indicated ‘yes’ for her, Amy made it swing in a positive direction over dozens of queries. Finally, I asked her to focus on something to make the pendulum sway another way, and when she did, I sensed that she was asking the universe about Lana.

Since it was a school night, and I still needed to conduct some tests on the antenna in my home lab, Amy and I parted ways at McClain’s. After a few hours in the lab, I felt as though I was making some progress on the underground project, when suddenly both cockatiels started squawking up a storm. I laid

down my earphones and heard a squeak at the front door. When I tried to flip the porch light on, it was burned out. By the light of the waning moon, I saw an un-familiar car in my driveway—an expensive-looking pink Porsche with shaded windows. To show I was unafraid, I thrust open the front door with great force and knocked the perpetrator to the end of the porch and head over heels into the birdbath. Lo and behold, it was Lana! And she was dressed to the T there to surprise me. Now all soaked, I tried to yank her out of the birdbath, but it was unstable, and when I grabbed her wrist, we both came crashing down onto my obsidian mirror sundial. Lana said, “You’re all wet, Max Rudolph, and about as clumsy as Maxwell Smart!” The water was warm in the nice evening as we lay together, catching our breaths, with the cockatiels cooing in the background. It was amazing how fast my old feelings started rushing back again in Lana’s alluring presence, and suddenly I suspended my earlier criticisms, making myself blind to those silly questions about her elusive shadow.

about thE author:Jim Banholzer once visited the Eno-

la Gay warplane at the Smithsonian Institution, where he noticed that the lighting of the museum was such that no shadow was cast beneath the bomb bay doors from where our first nuclear bomb exited.

a recipe…from my table to yoursby Lori nurge,

certiFieD FinanciaL PLanner™, First Vice President - investments

Opening a savings ac-count with your local bank may provide

an easy way to put money away for safekeeping, but the thought of doing more can be tempting. While your money will earn a small rate of interest with a savings account, you may want to consider an “investing” program that can potentially earn more from the money you put away. If investing is something that piques your interest, but you’re not quite sure where to begin, consider two of the most basic types of investments — stocks and bonds.

In the very simplest terms, a share of stock represents a portion of ownership in a company. While it may seem hard to imagine that you could actually own even a small part of some of the largest companies in business today, that is exactly what owning stock is all about.

When you purchase stock in a company, you literally become a partial owner of that company. Your degree of ownership is calculated on a percentage basis, depending on the amount of stock you hold compared to the total number of shares the company has issued. So, even though your holdings probably represent a very small percentage, the principle remains the same — you are one of the owners, and you have certain rights that come with that owner-ship.

Stock ownership entitles you to a “share” in the profits of the com-pany – hence the term shareholder.

Some companies pay their shareholders a portion of the profits in the form of what’s known as a dividend. If your company pays dividends, these payments — made either in cash or additional stock — are set by the board of directors and are usually issued on a quarterly basis. It is important to remember

that these dividends can go up and down; they can even stop altogether if a company decides to stop paying them.

As a stockowner, you also have a right to inspect the company books, and can do so when you review the company’s annual reports. These reports provide extensive details about company operations, allowing you to gain a better understanding of how the business is doing. If you own common stock in the company, you also have the right to vote on important company matters, such as the election of board members or proposed company mergers.

While there are many advantages to owning stock in a company, you should always keep in mind there are also risks of investing your money this way. There is always the pos-sibility that the value of your stock could go down and you could lose some — or even all — of the money you invested.

As a novice investor, another op-tion you should consider is investing in bonds. Simply put, a bond repre-sents a loan. The issuer of the bond receives the money you invest and agrees to repay you at a certain date. In addition, as an incentive to get you to make the loan in the first place, the issuer agrees to pay interest on your investment on a periodic basis.

Keep in mind the fact that bonds are subject to market risk and, if sold prior to maturity, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

When discussing bonds, you may hear different terms associated with the price of the bond. Par value, also known as face value, refers to the dollar amount on which a bond’s interest rate is calculated. It also represents the amount that will be paid to bondholders at maturity — the date originally set out for the repayment of the bond.

Many different entities issue bonds as a means to raise funds. Corporations issue bonds as a way to raise money. Municipalities such as towns, cities and even school districts will issue bonds as a way to fund improvement projects. Even the federal government issues bonds on a regular basis.

Stocks and bonds are just two basic ways to get started for those interested in investing. To find out more about the many investment alternatives available to you, con-sider making an appointment with a Financial Advisor who can explain all the options available to you.

Garden tackles languageHarry Weekes

points to a zuc-

chini peeking out from un-der a big head of lettuce.

“Zapallito,” says Lorena Horne.

Weekes makes a notation in a palm-sized notebook and returns his attention to the garden bed in front of him, gesturing toward the lettuce.

“La lechuga,” says Horne.They’re growing more than veg-

etables at the Blaine County Hunger Coalition’s new Hope Garden.

They’re growing friendships—and an understanding of language and culture, too.

English- and Spanish-speaking volunteers and clients of The Hunger Coalition are working side by side every Monday night in the garden, which was planted this summer on the site of former Blaine County Jail. As they work, they converse—first in English, then in Spanish.

“Just as plants need tending, so do our language skills,” said Hallie Reikowsky, The Hunger Coalition’s garden and education manager. “Our Language in the Garden program seeks to improve the communication skills of those who have some famil-iarity with both languages.”

Reikowsky said The Hunger Coali-tion started the program after it realized that language is a very big barrier for its clients and the volun-teers working with them.

“A lot of people know a little Span-ish or a little English. But how do you get to truly know one if you can’t really communicate?” she said.

The program has attracted about 10 people each night since it began in early August.

Weekes, a former Commu-nity School teacher who now runs Hailey’s Sage School, said he was shy at first about coming to the program, but now feels “really comfortable.”

“The program is laid back—we’re not sitting at the table looking at

each other. We do our talking while we’re pulling weeds or clipping let-tuce, which somehow makes it easier. And it’s been interesting because I’ve learned by talking to some of the different people that the word that Mexicans use for zucchini is differ-ent from the word Peruvians use,” he said.

Those who major in the Spanish language are trying to improve their English-speaking skills so they can more easily navigate the Ameri-can system. The English speakers, however, are there for a variety of reasons, from wanting to learn Span-ish for travel to wanting to maintain their fluency, as is Julia Abrams, who lived for a while in Peru.

Colin Stelma wants to be able to better converse with co-workers at his landscaping firm. And Judy Foster wants to communicate better with her neighbors in Hailey’s Wood-side neighborhood.

“Half my neighbors speak English and the other half Spanish,” she said. “I know a little from school and I’m reading a book now. But getting together with other people who will take it slow with you helps.”

Lorena horne offers the Spanish words for spinach and kale to harry Weekes.

Keep GivingI find all sorts of items at

yard sales, sometimes brandnew and never used.

At the last sale, I came acrossa beautiful sterling silver pic-ture frame and thought it wouldbe a perfect gift for an upcom-ing wedding I had to attend.

When I went to pay for it, thewoman explained that it hasbeen passed around manytimes. "Someone actuallyregifted it to me at my wed-ding," she said.

"That's amazing," I replied."But how did you know?"

She laughed as she replied,"They forgot to change thenames on the gift tag!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,While planning my wedding, Iquickly learned that the guestlist wasn't about whom I wantedto invite. It was more about mymom shaking the old family treeand seeing who fell out. Whenshe asked me to invite her long-lost rich cousins, I expected themystery relatives would at leastbring a nice gift. However, whenwe unwrapped the gifts, wefound a shocker. Their gift wasa beautiful crystal punch bowl,but when I turned it over, I founda bright green $5 price tag thatwas obviously from a yardsale.We paid $125 perplate, and she gaveme a $5 punch bowl.My husband said Ishould let it go, but don'tyou guys think spending$5 on a wedding gift from a yardsale is ridiculous?

• • •Cash: Of course spending $5

on a crystal punch bowl is ridicu-lous. Your relatives could have atleast haggled it down to $3!

Carry: Although I can under-stand your frustration with yournew-found relatives, it seems youhad the wrong expectations.Regardless of whom your Momshook out of the family tree, you

should have been delighted thatthey attended your wedding.Anticipating an expensive gift inreturn was an error on your part.

Cash: Now I have to agreethat leaving the price sticker onthe punch bowl was a major over-sight and one that can be foundoffensive.

Carry: It seems the problemwas not the fact that your relativespurchased the gift at a yard sale,but that they actually got caught.By your own admission, the crys-tal bowl was a beautiful gift.

Cash: It's difficult to saywhether etiquette should discour-age giving a wedding gift from ayard sale. There are many who

would say that if the bowl was stillnew and in the original box, thegift is perfectly fine. That is, if theprice sticker is removed first.

Carry: Personally, I wouldn'thave a use for a crystal punchbowl unless it's to change the oilin my car. Yet other people mayfind it to be the perfect weddinggift.

Cash: As a newlywed, youmay want to reconsider your hus-band's advice and let it go. Sendyour relatives a nice thank youcard for attending the weddingand bringing a gift.

Carry: Besides, if it's like manywedding gifts, you’ll probably tryto sell it at your next yard sale!

Wrapped UpHow much did you spend on the

last wedding gift you bought?Although the relation of the brideor groom does play a role in manypeople's decision, the averageattendee spends $85 on a weddingpresent according to TheAssociation of Bridal Consultants.To top off the occasion, the associ-ation claims that wedding couplesaverage about 100 gifts from theceremony. Inaddition to hours ofunwrapping, that makes for a lotof handwritten thank-you cards.Gift Giver

When is it okay to regift? Somemay respond, "Never!", butaccording to a survey commis-sioned by ebay, 64% of peopleadmit to regifting, or secretly giv-ing away unwanted gifts to others.That means most are not alone inthe process. To avoid any embar-rassment, it's advisable to makesure the item is actually new andnot from a company that went outof business. If the idea of regift-ing makes you uncomfortable, youcan always save all those items foryour next yard sale.

FAI fairly common

source of hip pain

by Dr. DanieL JUDD, st. LUKe’s cLinic,

sUn VaLLey sPorts MeDicine

Arthritis of the hip can re-sult from many conditions. But it can sometimes de-

velop in a young patient without any obvious medical reason.

In the last 10 years, a di-agnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has become recognized as a fairly common source of hip pain that can lead to early hip arthritis. Diagnos-ing FAI can be difficult because often only subtle abnormalities will be seen on standard, routine X-rays.

FAI is a condition of too much friction in the hip joint. It occurs when there is abnormal contact between the femur (the ball portion of the hip joint) and the acetabulum (the socket portion of the hip joint).

We see two distinct but often overlapping patterns: cam im-pingement and pincer impinge-ment. The first, cam impinge-ment, occurs when the head of the femur is abnormally shaped, forcing the neck of the femur into the rim of the socket. The second pattern, pincer impingement, is the result of the socket having too much coverage over the head of the femur, forcing the rim of

the socket into the neck of the femur.

Both of these scenarios cause abnormal friction on the hip joint, which can lead to premature wearing and degenera-tion of the cartilage joint surface.

Patients generally experience a slow onset

of groin pain, but pain can often become noticeable after a minor trauma. In the early stages, the pain may come and go and is worsened with strenuous activities or prolonged sitting. Activities that involve bending and inward rotation of the hip may be particularly painful. As the condition progresses and cartilage degeneration advances, the pain becomes constant and can limit many activities.

Treatment of FAI depends on the degree of pain and the findings of the examination and X-ray. In minor cases, physical therapy and modification of ac-tivities may be beneficial. As the degree of pain and abnormality increases, certain surgical proce-dures can be successful in reduc-ing the amount of pain, prevent-ing the progression of arthritis, and decreasing the need for joint replacement surgery.

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

Fact:Idling uses

more fuel than turning off your

engine and restarting it. As a rule of

thumb, turn off your engine if

you will be idling for more than 30 seconds.

Fuel saving tipsCurb road rage. Speeding, rapid

acceleration (jackrabbit starts), and rapid braking can lower gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds. Drivers can save up to 90 gallons of gasoline, or up to $210, by driving sensibly on the highway. If you don’t have a “lead foot,” your savings may be closer to 10% at highway speeds – about $65

Drive sensibly. Around town, sen-sible driving can save 5% – up to 17 gallons of gasoline and up to $40.

Cut miles. If you can cut your ve-hicle miles traveled by just 5% through combining trips, walking, biking, or taking public transportation, you can save up to $70 per year on gasoline costs. Walking and biking are good for your health too!

Choose the right vehicle. If you own more than one vehicle, drive the one that gets better gas mileage whenever possible. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10% of your trips from driving a car that gets 20 mpg to one that gets 30 mpg will save you almost $50 per year.

Turn down the air. Operating the air conditioner on “Max” can reduce mpg by 5 – 25% compared to not us-ing it.

It‘s a ”drag.“ Avoid carrying items on your vehicle‘s roof. A loaded roof rack or carrier increases weight and aerodynamic drag, which can cut mile-age by 5%. Place items inside the trunk whenever possible to improve your fuel economy.

Ditch “junk in the trunk.” An extra 100 pounds in the trunk cuts a typical vehicle‘s fuel economy by up to 2%. You can save up to 12 gallons of gaso-line per year – almost $30 – by remov-ing an extra 100 pounds of unneeded items from the trunk.

Decrease your speed. Speeding costs! Gas mileage usually decreases rapidly above 60 mph. Each five miles per hour over 60 mph is like paying an additional 24 cents per gallon for gas.

Avoid idling. Idling gets 0 mpg. Cars with larger engines typically waste even more gas while idling than cars with smaller engines.

Combine errands/trips. If you com-bine errands into one trip, you drive fewer miles and use less fuel. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a longer, multipurpose trip when the engine is warmed up and efficient.

Use overdrive gear. If available, use your vehicle‘s overdrive gear to reduce engine speed, which will enable you to save gas and reduce engine wear.

Use cruise control. Cruise control cuts fuel consumption by maintaining a steady speed during highway driv-ing.

Carpool. Using the average U.S. work commute of 12.1 miles, com-muters could save about $180 a year by carpooling twice a week with two other people in a vehicle that gets 20.1 miles per gallon – assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.

Motorcycling. Motorcycles aver-age 56 mpg—and motor scooters do even better. For one person or even two, motorcycles or scooters clearly use far less energy than a car with one or two people. If four people need to go somewhere, they are better off in a vehicle that gets 30 mpg than on two motorcycles that get 56 mpg.

Telecommute or stagger work hours. If your employer permits, avoid sitting in traffic and wasting gas, es-pecially during peak rush hours. A worker who telecommutes twice a week would save about $275 a year in gasoline costs.

Buy smart. When buying a new or used vehicle, think high gas mileage. Check out the U.S. Department of Energy’s Web site or look for a Smart-Way© certified vehicle on EPA’s Green Vehicle Guide for information on fuel-efficient vehicles.

It doesn’t matter if the car you’re driving is new or old, big or small.

There are preventive main-tenance steps every vehicle owner can take to make sure their car is as “green” or environmentally friendly as pos-sible, according to the Car Care Coun-cil.

By fol-lowing five simple preventive maintenance steps, you can help protect the environment by improving gas mileage, which in turn saves money at the pump.

Keep your car properly tuned for optimum performance. A well-tuned engine delivers the best balance of power and fuel economy and produces the lowest level of emissions. A 21st Century tune-up can improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent. Fixing a seri-ous maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sen-sor, can improve gas mileage by as much as 40 percent.

Regularly check and replace dirty air filters. An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a “rich” mixture - too much gas being burned for the amount of air - that wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent, saving about 15 cents a gallon.

Have spark

plugs checked and replaced if necessary. A vehicle can have four, six or eight spark plugs, which fire as many as three million times every 1,000 miles. This results in a lot of heat, electrical, and

chemical erosion. A dirty spark plug

also causes mis-firing, which wastes fuel.

Maintain the cool-ing system. A cool-

ing system thermostat

that causes the engine to run too

cold will lower the fuel efficiency of a

car by as much as one or two mpg. There also are improved radiator caps on the market

today that allow the

cooling system to operate at a

higher temperature before boiling

over, increasing the system’s efficiency and reducing emissions.

Maintain and repair

your car as outlined in the

council’s Car Care Guide. The

guide helps drivers understand their

car, the care it needs, and when it needs it and why. Single copies of the free guide may be ordered

on the Car Care Council

Web site, www.carcare.org.

In addition to proper vehicle

maintenance, vehicles can be more fuel-ef-ficient if tires are properly inflated and if drivers observe the

speed limit, avoid aggres-

sive driving and excessive idling, and

adhere to an errand list to eliminate extra trips to

the store for forgot-ten items.

Six surprising facts about how we get around

• In 2009, average U.S. households spent about $4,400 on energy to power their homes and vehicles – about $2,200 on home energy costs and almost $2,200 on gasoline, estimates the Alliance to Save Energy.

• The average family owns two cars.

• Americans have been increasingly “buying bigger” – from 1990 to 2006, the purchase of SUVs (sport utility ve-hicles) rose from 5.6% to 32.4%.

• Not including the cost of the vehicle itself, Americans spend about 10% of their an-nual incomes on their vehicles, including gas, oil, upkeep, and related vehicle expenses.

• There are about 240 million cars and trucks on the roads in the U.S. As a nation, we drive about 3 trillion miles each year!

• In 2006, 68% of all oil consumed in the U.S. (13.98 million barrels of oil) was used for trans-portation.

Make your car last 200,000 milesWith proper care, many

of today’s cars can last 200,000 miles or more,

and owners seeking to limit repair costs by trading in their vehicle every three to five years may lose out on thousands of savings, says Consumer Reports October issue.

Recent Consumer Reports surveys identified 6,769 readers with 200,000 miles or more on their vehicles’ odometers. The re-port featured accounts that ran the gamut of make and model, including a ‘95 Honda Civic with 227,000 miles, a ‘90 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a West Virginia family’s 1994 Ford Ranger pickup with an impres-sive 488,000 miles.

When comparing the costs of buying and keeping a car for 225,000 miles over 15 years to buying and financing an identi-cal model every five years, CR found the savings could be more than the original purchase price of the vehicle—and even greater if the savings were invested.

Consumer Reports names Good and Bad Bets:

Buying a car with a good track record is important in reach-ing the 200K Club. Consumer Reports identifies Good and Bad Bets for those shooting for 200,000 miles.

Good Bets have performed well in Consumer Reports tests and have better-than-average reliability scores for several model years. Bad Bets have mul-tiple years of much worse than average reliability and more problems than other models overall. Reliability is based on

the results of Consumer Reports Reliability Survey, and all have three or more model years of data.

Good Bets: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4

Bad Bets: BMW 7-Series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar S-Type, Jaguar X-Type, Mercedes-Benz M-Class (V8), Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Ti-tan, Volkswagen Touareg, Volvo XC90 (6-cyl.)

Get Your Car To Go the Distance:

For motorists looking to make their car reach 200,000 miles, the October issue of Consumer Reports offers complete advice on how to do it. Here are some of the highlights:

Go by the book. Follow the maintenance schedule in the ve-hicle owner’s manual and make necessary repairs promptly. If you think you’re saving money by skipping an oil change, think again. Missing even one oil change can accelerate premature engine wear and cause engine damage. The manual contains a maintenance schedule.

Use the right stuff. When it’s time for maintenance or repairs, use only parts and fluids meeting manufacturer specifi-cations. Using the wrong type of oil or transmission fluid, for example, could result in damage leading to expensive repairs.

Know what to look for. Problems can arise at any time and for inexplicable reasons.

So it helps to get in the habit of opening the hood and looking, listening, and smelling what’s happening in your engine bay. Look for fraying or cracks in belts, and cracks or bulges in hoses. Investing in a vehicle service manual, available at car dealerships and most auto-parts stores, will help show you what to look for and assist you with minor repairs.

Keep it clean. Get out the cleaning products periodically. Regular cleaning inside and out can make the car a more pleas-ant place to be as you roll up the miles, and washing and waxing can help preserve the paint and keep the sheet metal below it

from rusting. Vacuuming sand and dirt out of carpets and seats can minimize premature wear that leads to tears and holes.

Buy a reliable, safe car. Buy a car with a good track record. Consumer Reports offers comprehensive reliability ratings in every April Autos issue and to ConsumerReports.org subscrib-ers. Buy a car that has per-formed well in government and insurance-industry safety tests and has the latest safety equip-ment, like electronic stability control and curtain air bags. If you’re going to live with a vehicle for a long time, you will want it to provide maximum safety protection.

According to Consumer Reports tests, good bets for cars shooting to reach the 200k Club include: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser (as seen above), Toyota Prius and Toyota RAV4.

Fall car care tipsFinally, the summer is

over and fall is here! And whether the first cold snap

is only weeks or still months away, this is a great time to take advantage of the milder fall weather by popping the hood and winterizing your car. A task that is critical to fall car care is cool-ing system maintenance.

A recent survey by the Na-tional Car Care Council showed that more than 70 percent of motorists do not winterize their cars in preparation for the colder months ahead. Perhaps that’s why cooling system failure is the number one cause of engine-related roadside breakdowns. Follow these Fall Car Care Tips from AutoZone, and you’ll be ready for whatever weather lies ahead.

Flush and fill your cooling system - Performing a routine flush and fill is quick and easy, and it’s cheap insurance against engine failure. The National Car Care Council recommends doing this every two years or 24,000 miles for most vehicles. Don’t assume that simply draining your radiator is enough. To do the job right, you need to flush the system with a radiator flush product, not just plain water, to remove stubborn rust, grease, and sediment.

Many motorists make the mis-take of judging the condition of their antifreeze by its color. Con-taminants like rust, sediment, or oil may cause the antifreeze to change colors, but it’s the chemical breakdown over time that renders your antifreeze ineffective against freeze-ups, boil overs and corrosion. And old, weak antifreeze won’t provide sufficient engine protection, regardless of the color. So play it

safe, and change your antifreeze every two years or 24,000 miles.

Replace your radiator hoses and hose clamps - Replace any hoses that have brittle, spongy, or bulging areas. If the hoses are more than four years old, replace them regardless of their condi-tion. As the corrosion inhibitors in your antifreeze break down, the radiator hoses begin to dete-riorate from the inside out. Don’t wait until a hose breaks to find out that you were overdue for replacement.

Hose clamps are often over-looked, but they shouldn’t be, since they are your last line of defense against leaks or pres-sure loss. Be sure to use new clamps with new hoses.

Replace your thermostat - The thermostat controls coolant flow through the engine. If it fails, the engine will overheat. In most

cars, the thermostat is in line with the upper radiator hose or at the inlet to the water pump. Play it safe and replace the thermostat when you change the radiator hoses.

Replace your radiator cap - A radiator cap does more than merely prevent antifreeze from sloshing out of your radiator. A properly functioning radiator cap also raises the cooling system pressure and increases the boil-ing point of the antifreeze/water mixture by about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This gives your engine added protection against boil overs. Like the other cooling system components, radiator caps don’t last forever. Replace yours every time you flush and fill your cooling system. Pres-sure recommendations vary, so be sure to get the right cap for your vehicle.

Tune-up Q&A I wanted to get a tune-up on my car and I called

around to get some prices. The dealer quoted me 4 hours of labor to do the job. Another mechanic told me they charge a flat rate fee unlike the dealers. What is the difference? The

mechanic that I chose only charged me for two hours, not four.

It’s easy to see that when you call around for an estimate you can get some pretty dramatic price differences. Many larger shops and all dealers that will charge an hourly price for each job

that is listed in a shop hourly manual. For example your tune-up might have an estimat-

ed repair or replacement time of four hours in the shop manual. This time is calculated using the shop hourly rate {i.e., 4 x $60}. Pretty straight forward, right? Not all the time.

So what do you get for the four hours of labor? If you call most shops and ask for a tune-up price they automatically figure in the price a fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, PCV filter, and distributor ignition rotor plus all applicable labor charges. So the price would probably be much higher than a shop that only replaces spark plugs as their tune-up package. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples when you are calling around for prices.

Some shops purposely give low-ball telephone estimates just to get you in the door. Example: You call to get a price for a new radiator installed. Does the estimate include new antifreeze, a new radiator cap and taxes? Some would automatically figure these items into their estimate, not only because they want to do a nice turn-key job, but also be-cause they don’t want to have to sell you parts later on that they already know you will need.

There are also different brands of shop manuals on the market, so a car dealer might be using a different labor-esti-mating guide than your local repair shop and most inde-pendent shops would be using.

Let your mechanic know why you are requesting a tune-up in the first place. Oftentimes, if the car runs poorly or differently than normal, the customer often automatically asks for a tune-up. Cars these days are very sophisticated and full of computers and sensors that can cause your car to act strangely. So a tune-up might not fix the problem, and a proper diagnosis from the mechanic could be beneficial.

Get ready now for winter’s chill with these baby stepsIt’s hard to say goodbye

to summer, but as every motorist north of the Sun

Belt knows, it’s just a matter of time before you’ll be driving on rain-slicked streets, not to mention ice and snow-covered highways.

“If vehicles are not ad-equately prepared for winter, driving can be more stressful and treacherous. To ensure safety and reliability during the upcoming winter months, it’s best to take a proactive approach to preventative maintenance while the tem-peratures are still mild,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council, part of a consumer campaign to help people be more aware of their cars and the care they need.

Here are some things you can do now -- and a few you can wait to do before the snow flies:

Stock upNow is the time to create a

winter car emergency kit. It could save your life if you get stuck on the road when the temperature drops. The basics include:

• Jumper cables

• An ice scraper, snow brush and folding shovel

• A flashlight with fresh batter-ies

• A blanket, hand warmers, ex-tra clothing -- including heavy gloves, a hat, socks and boots -- and a rain poncho

• Candles and safety matches

• Bottled water and high-energy dried food snacks

• A first aid kit

• Flares, a whistle and tow rope

• Plastic garbage bags, hose bandage, tire sealant and small tools -- including pliers, screw-drivers and a utility knife.

Make sure you have plenty of window washer solvent, too.

If you’re going on a long trip or regularly do a lot of distance driving -- especially on less-traveled roads -- you should double up on the snacks, water, blankets and clothing, and be sure to take extra prescription medication

in case you face an extended wait for help. Every vehicle should stash two inexpensive plastic “Call Police” or “Call Tow” emergency banners in the glove compartment. They can be placed in the front and rear windows to alert other drivers to your plight.

check upNow is also the time to look

at all things mechanical and structural on your car -- in-cluding the heater, defroster, interior lights, headlights, belts, the exhaust system and the battery and charging system. Have your car put on a lift so that a technician can inspect the trunk and floor-boards. They should watch out for small holes that create a pathway for deadly carbon monoxide fumes to enter the passenger compartment.

“Also check to see if your spark plugs and battery need replacing. You don’t want to have a stalled vehicle in the dead of winter,” advises a “Preparing For Winter” on-line advisory from Mr. Lube Canada at mrlube.com, the Canadian chain of franchised auto service centers. “If your battery is more than two years old, take it to your tech-nician to have the charging system completely checked. Older batteries are less likely to start in winter tempera-tures than newer ones.”

Since cold weather magni-fies existing performance problems, you should take the time now to eyeball fuel, air and transmission filters -- or, even better, get a complete tune-up. An inspection of brakes and tires should also be on your must-do list. It’s also a good time to have the car waxed to protect the fin-ish from the elements.

If you live in an area subject to sub-zero weather or heavy snow and ice, switch to lighter motor oil for easier start-ups and less wear and tear on the engine. You may also want to replace your regular wipers with a rubber-clad winter version that pre-vents the snow and ice from clogging the blades. While all-weather tires work well in any climate, if your streets are filled with ice and snow, shift to studded snow tires.

GPS dangers and accidents

Since GPS navigation sys-tems are now common, a contributing link between

the devices and accidents has been identified. While the reasons are varied, it often boils down to humans being human.

One of the most common human errors when it comes to using a GPS device is over-confidence in how smart that navigation system is or isn’t. Why plan when your GPS will tell you where to go? Well, GPS devices are fallible; they’re made so by satellite communication errors and outdated or inac-curate maps. Even when maps are current, some mapping and navigation information doesn’t take into account road types. With this type of software error, the road that may look like the shortest distance between Point A and Point B might actually be an unpaved private drive. If your GPS device doesn’t recognize it as such, it could add the road to your route.

Because of these factors, driv-ers find themselves driving on unsafe terrain and into other hazards, such as artificial lakes or train tracks. The more confi-dent you are in what your GPS device tells you, the less likely you are to notice something’s wrong. Accident risk increases when drivers take their GPS device’s instructions too liter-ally: Warnings of “when possible, make a legal U-turn” send some veering into oncoming traffic.

Driver inattention and dis-traction also increase accident risk. Many of us have seen such drivers on the road: those who are having their morning cup of coffee, talking on the phone and reading the paper all while behind the wheel of their car. Sure, it’s hard to eliminate all distractions while driving -- who isn’t guilty of tuning to a better song? In a study conducted by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), spill-ing hot coffee on yourself and dropping something on the floor are the two most common driver distractions. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Admin-istration estimates that driver distraction plays a role in 25 to 30 percent of the roughly 1.2 million car crashes in the United States each year [source: Stutts]. The greater number of devices in your car, from cell phones to GPS navigators to onboard entertainment systems, the greater the distraction possibili-ties. NETS also found that when GPS users mute the device they increase their distraction level -- without the voice commands, drivers spent more time look-ing at the screen than the road [source: Smart Motorist].

It’s no doubt that in most cases GPS navigation systems can get you to your destination unharmed, especially if you do a little groundwork before hitting the road. Prep the device before taking off to avoid the distrac-tion of adjusting it while driving -- that includes not only setting your start and end destinations but also adjusting settings. And minimize distraction by pulling over or relying on a passenger to make changes during the trip.

Consult a map and pay atten-tion to the surroundings and road signs -- GPS may be conve-nient but it can’t replace common sense. If things don’t look right, they probably aren’t.

Protect yourself from a ‘lemon’Defective cars

don’t make good lemonade

When you have lemons, make lemonade -- or so the saying goes. It

may be tried and true for some of life’s roadblocks, but not every sour situation has such a sweet outcome.

When it comes to buying a car and finding out it’s a lemon, the circumstances result in more than just a bad taste in the mouth. How do you know if you have a lemon, and what can you do about it if you do? How do you avoid buying one in the first place?

A lemon, purely as it relates to cars, is “a vehicle that has a defect that cannot be repaired within a reasonable amount of time or amount of repairs,” according to Marshall Meyers, managing partner for Weisberg & Meyers, a law firm special-izing in lemon law litigation headquarted in Arizona.

Defects that determine whether a car is a lemon include: considerable problems caused by the manufacturer jeopardiz-ing safety, affecting the market value of the car and the ability to use the vehicle. Recurring brake problems or doors that don’t operate properly due to manufac-turer error are examples of this.

The owner of a lemon can be compensated with a refund or a car replacement if it is covered under law. It’s impor-tant to research both state and federal laws to know for sure. “State remedies offer refunds or replacements from use, market value or safety defects, and federal remedies provide cash

compensation from diminished value,” Meyers said.

Each state has its own rules regarding what qualifies, but generally the car shouldn’t be older than 30 months as of the retail delivery date. There are also mileage limitations. For some states, once a car has three repairs for a problem under warranty, it may be fit for lemon territory. It is even possible a used car will be covered.

First, find out what quali-fies as a lemon where you live. Carlemon.com provides lemon law summaries and statutes for each state, as well as informa-tion on the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, enacted in 1975, which “makes breach of warranty a federal law.” If the car doesn’t qualify as a lemon in your state, the site lays out other resources that will help.

Meyers recommended docu-menting all repairs in order to have a case. “If you have a problem you can’t fix, bring it in for repairs and keep records,” he said. “That’s the purpose of a warranty -- to help repair your car.”

Make sure all documentation is accurate and the problems written by both the vehicle own-er and dealership are detailed and consistent. Keep all logs of repairs or random breakdowns, noting mileage and exactly what happened. These are the basis of determining and filing a car as a lemon. The owner needs to be in charge and aware of what is documented.

“You must describe an unfixed defect the same, each time you take the vehicle in for repair, and you must make sure that your complaint is written on the repair order,” states carlemon.com. It also offers a vehicle repair log with detailed sections to fill, from price and odometer

readings to problem descriptions and vehicle information.

After documenting the car’s repair history, an informal dispute resolution through the manufacturer is an option a consumer may take. However, according to Steve Solomon, author of “The Good, the Bad and the Rest: State Lemon Laws and Protection for Consumers,” from the journal of the American Bar Association, “The major criticisms of manufacturer-funded dispute programs are that they are comparable to the ‘wolf guarding the chicken coop,’ and that the results are more protective of car makers than of the consumer.”

Alternatively, you may consider hiring an attorney who works on lemon law cases and taking the manufacturer to court. The attorneys are paid by the manufacturer, not the consumer, so they have the consumer’s interests in mind. Take advantage of consultations. Some websites provide resources to find attorneys for each state, such as lemonlawyers.net.

Always be aware of state Lemon Laws before purchasing your next vehicle. Some states don’t honor leased vehicles or have lemon laws that are more business friendly as opposed to consumer friendly. Make sure a used car dealer provides a CARFAX report and documenta-tion alerting the consumer about a lemon car.

Pay attention to anything that seems “off.” If it’s a new car with low miles at a used car dealership, it may be a lemon. As Meyers said, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”

If you pay attention before your next car purchase and keep detailed documentation of repairs, your lemons may turn into lemonade after all.

There are a few things which are necessary to make sure that you will

have a car which will work properly at all times. You need to make sure that you are not driving your car in reckless manner. You also need to make sure that you are put-ting the right kind of gasoline in the tank. Most importantly, you need to make sure that your vehicle is getting properly maintained at regular intervals. This is some-thing which only should be done by ASE master technicians.

Some people think that price is the most important factor when picking out a mechanic to work on their vehicle. They will simply go to any location where they are getting the best price for the work that they need to have done. What they may not realize is how important it is to make sure that they are being able to get more than just a good price. The right mechanic might cost a little bit more money but in the end, they will end up sav-ing you a lot of money in repairs or having to buy a whole new vehicle.

Getting regular maintenance - When you have your vehicle serviced, it is about more than just belts and hoses. If you are bringing your vehicle to the same mechanic all the time, they will know what the history of the vehicle is. They will know about things that they will need to look out for from one visit to the next. This way when you bring in your vehicle for regular maintenance,

they will be able to watch for certain aspects of the vehicle to make sure that they are up to the standards which are necessary to keep your vehicle running properly.

Maintenance for any vehicle - It does not matter whether you are driving a regular car or a sport utility truck, maintenance is important. Since sport utility and light truck repair is a bit more expensive than

that of a car, it is even more important that you are getting regular maintenance. Try to find a mechanic which specializes in the kind of vehicle you are driv-ing so that you will have a better shot at making sure that you will be able to get the right kind of service. This has more to do with the brand of vehicle you are driving than if you are driving a car versus a truck.

Where to Find a Mechanic - There are many different mechanics, which are located throughout the phone book in any city across America. The question is, how can you make sure that you are picking the one which is right for you? The key is to have a willingness to look around in different places. Most people will go to the large places because they look safe. The problem is that you will have a different person working on your car every time. You want a small shop with all of the right equipment so that you will get all of the individual attention you need while still getting great car service.

Choosing the right mechanic makes all the difference

Will the impact of this year’s state budget cuts on school district trans-

portation plans put students at greater risk on the way to and from school? It’s a question AAA Idaho recently pondered as it kicked off it’s annual School’s Open - Drive Carefully cam-paign.

“We know that exposure on the roadways around our schools goes up when school opens,” said AAA Idaho Director of Public and Government Affairs Dave Carlson. “What we don’t know is if transportation budget cuts will put kids at greater risk this year.”

Carlson said the topic made the news in the Meridian school district recently, where budget cuts mean bus routes have been eliminated or altered. That means more students will walk to school and fewer will ride the bus. Some students will be required to walk further to find a bus stop.

Last year, 97 percent of 214 Idaho pedestrians involved in crashes were injured. Ninety-two of those crashes (43 percent) involved pedestrians 19 and younger. Among those killed or injured, 21 percent were between the ages of 4 and 14, ac-cording to traffic data collected by the Idaho Transportation Department.

“School-age children face greater risks due to their experi-ence on roadways and their risk-

taking behavior,” Carlson said. “That’s why it’s so important for motorists and students to be on the lookout for each other, espe-cially during the first few weeks of school.”

Despite an 8 percent drop in the number of overall traffic crashes, the number of bicycle crashes increased by 6 per-cent in 2009. Of all bicyclists involved in crashes in 2009, 19 percent were between the ages of 4 and 14.

As part of AAA’s annual School’s Open – Drive Care-fully campaign, AAA offers 10 key tips for motorists to help keep kids safe as they return to school.

Follow the speed limit. School zone speed limits are purpose-fully set low to accommodate the unpredictable actions of school age children, who may also have difficulty gauging the distance and speed of oncoming vehicles.

Follow all traffic signals and warnings.

Eliminate driver distraction. Taking your eyes off the road for two seconds doubles your chances of crashing. Put down your phone. Don’t text. Avoid eating, drinking, smoking or personal grooming.

Scan Between Parked Cars. In 2008, 43 percent of the child pedestrian fatalities in the U.S. occurred between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., mostly at non-intersection locations.

Look for Clues of Children

Nearby. Keep an eye open for safety patrol members, crossing guards, bicycles, bus stops, and playgrounds.

Always Stop for School Buses. For 23 million students, the school day begins and/or ends with a trip on a school bus. The greatest risk they face is not rid-ing the bus, but approaching or leaving it. Flashing yellow lights on a school bus indicate it is pre-paring to stop to load or unload children. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped.

Allot Extra Travel Time. Commutes frequently take longer during the school year. Avoid the temptation to speed or disobey traffic laws in an effort to catch up.

Review Your Travel Route. Modify your travel routes as necessary to avoid school zones and residential neighborhoods.

Use Extra Caution in Bad Weather. Motorists should use extra caution in rain, snow fog, or any other inclement weather.

Use Headlights. Turning on the vehicle’s daytime run-ning lights or headlights—even during the day—helps children and other drivers see you more easily.

“We encourage parents, in the strongest way possible, to sit down and work out a plan for the safest route to school,” Carl-son said. “Then give your kids some confidence by practicing the route before school starts.”

Kids, cars and distracted drivers are coming to a school near you

Heads up driving week

9/26–10/2

Despite major declines in the number of Americans killed on U.S. highways,

more than half of drivers say they feel less safe on the roads they drive than they did five years ago, according to a new AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study.

The leading reason for the fear cited by American drivers is dis-tracted driving, with 88 percent of motorists rating drivers who text and email as a very serious threat to their safety.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 16 percent of crashes and fatalities involve distracted driving.

In Idaho, AAA said improved education, enforcement, and crash data collection are neces-sary to address the distracted driving problem.

“Idaho lawmakers must tackle this issue with a law that squarely concentrates on the scope and impact of this behav-ior,” said AAA Idaho Director of Public and Government Affairs Dave Carlson.

“Thirty states have passed laws banning texting while driv-ing, but we cannot afford to be complacent or draft a law that is so weak as to lack a deterrent effect.”

As part of AAA’s commitment to improving highway safety for its members and for all road users, the auto club launched a legislative campaign in 2009 to ban texting while driving in all 50 states. “The campaign has helped 11 more states to enact laws against this risky driving behavior this year, bringing the total to 30 states and the Dis-trict of Columbia,” Carlson said.

During Heads Up Driving Week (September 26 - October 2, 2010), AAA hopes to exert influ-ence by drawing attention to the size of this problem and encour-aging states to build a social climate in which traffic safety is highly valued and vigorously pursued.

SEC.2/PG8 • theweeklypaperTOO Car designers are going to have to come up with an automobile that outlasts the payments. Wednesday 9.29.10

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

Auto insurance, a crucial part of drivingIt’s all about protection -- for

yourself and for those you come in contact with.

You are responsible for any damage you may cause while driving your car, and a good insurance policy can protect you, your family and the things you’ve worked hard to have. But how much protection do you need, and what can you do if you can’t afford it?

Most states have minimum guidelines regarding insur-ance, and carrying insurance is mandatory in most of the United States.

Minimum limits vary from state to state -- Florida requires minimum bodily damage per person of $10,000, while Texas requires $20,000. Vermont man-dates minimum property damage coverage of $10,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident, while South Carolina requires $25,000.

In the “Anatomy of an Auto Policy,” distributed by State Farm Insurance Company in Bloomington, Ill., customers are advised, “When shopping for in-surance, it’s important to look at more than the total cost. Become

familiar with the amount and type of coverage that is being offered.

“Also, note what isn’t being covered, who is covered while driving your vehicle and the quality of customer service in the event of an accident. The bottom line is that you should understand your policy and buy the amount of insurance you think you need.”

There are some basic terms you need to know about automo-bile insurance when picking your policy. Each provide coverage for different elements of an accident:

* Bodily Injury Liability -- Covers claims and lawsuits by people injured as a result of an accident you cause.

* Property Damage Liability -- Used in claims and lawsuits for property damaged as a result of an accident you cause.

* Personal Injury Protection -- Coverage for injuries sustained in an automobile accident by you or other persons covered under your policy.

* Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage -- This pays for property damage or bodily injury if you are in an accident caused by an uninsured motor-

ist (a driver who does not have the minimum level of insurance required by law) or a driver who is insured, but who has less cov-erage than your underinsured motorist coverage.

* Collision -- Covers damage to your vehicle as the result of a collision with another car or other object.

* Comprehensive -- This is used for damage to your vehicle that is not a result of a collision, such as theft of your car, vandal-ism, flooding, fire or a broken windshield. It also pays if you collide with an animal.

Most coverages, particularly those that ensure damages to someone else will be paid, are mandatory. In some states, ad-ditional underinsured motorist coverage is optional. Collision and comprehensive is almost always at the buyer’s discretion -- however, if your vehicle is fi-nanced, it may be a requirement of the finance company.

There are other optional cover-ages that are nice to have, such as rental reimbursement in the event your vehicle is damaged in an accident.

When it comes to picking your policy, Becky McMenomy,

a licensed agent with Ike Tolks in Petaluma, Calif., said, “To know what liability limits a person should carry, they need to do a quick financial analysis to determine what assets they have that can be at risk in a lawsuit -- equity in a home, savings, even their paycheck. A person should

have higher liability limits than their assets.”

Variables such as age, gender, personal driving history, region, the car itself and even the driving records of others with the same risk factors will play an important part in premium rates.
