What would a federalgovernment shutdowndo to the Magic Valley?

By Ben BotkinTimes-News writer

BOISE — When Uncle Samprops up his feet for a break,people take notice.

One potential federal gov-ernment shutdown was avert-ed late Friday night with acompromise and a short-termspending bill. The effects ofsuch a shutdown would varyacross different agencies andservices.

It’s a showdown that’s putthe GOP-dominated U.S.House at odds with the admin-istration of President Obamaover the budget — and it carriesan impact for the Magic Valley.

Here’s a look at what wouldbe in store for south-centralIdaho in such an event:

Mail delivery would stillhappen. The U.S. Postal Ser-vice doesn’t rely on tax dollars,so the budget showdown does-n’t involve your mail carrierand post office.

Minico High School senior Jennifer Reddington has taken college-level classes through the College of

Southern Idaho the past two years. Reddington will graduate high school with an associate degree from

CSI, allowing her to start next year at the University of Utah with a junior class standing. In 2002, her

sister became the first in the state to earn a college degree at graduation through the state’s now

expanding dual credit system.

ANALYSIS

By Laurie WelchTimes-News writer

RUPERT — Jennifer Reddington willface an important etiquette question inlate May: Is it OK to put two tassels onone mortar board?

The Minico High School senior iscounted among the burgeoning numberof Idaho scholars taking advantage of aprogram that offers college credits forcourses they take during their highschool years. And while enrollment in theCollege of Southern Idaho’s dual creditprogram has more than doubled since2005, Reddington is part of a rarer breedof Gem State student.

She’ll graduate this spring with a

Minico diploma and an associate degreefrom CSI.

“It takes a lot of coordination andstaying on top of deadlines,” she said.“You have to be mature enough to knowwhen your stuff is due, especially the on-line classes. It can’t be your parents’ want— you have to take it on. You can eitherwaste your senior year by doing nothing,or you can do something to get ahead.”

Reddington plans to enroll in the Uni-versity of Utah’s pre-medicine programin the fall, with hopes of becoming a doc-tor. Dual credit courses are only part ofher path to a CSI degree, but when fac-toring in the $65-per-credit costs,

Idaho man wasat center ofJapan disastersBy Tammy ScardinoIdaho State Journal

RIRIE — Images of bodies beingpulled from rubble flashedthrough Chris Hope’s mind as hesearched for cover.

The software engineer was up-grading one of the Fukushima nu-clear plant’s process control sys-tems when the devastating 9.0earthquake struck northern Japanon March 11.

“When I saw my Japanese co-workers diving under their desks,I knew we were in for it,’’ saidHope, a Brigham Young Universi-ty-Idaho graduate. “(The earth-quake) was so violent, it was all Icould do to hold on to the wall andstand upright. Then I yelled ‘I’mgetting out of here’ and ran to thedoorway.”

The Ririe man’s co-workersfollowed his lead only to discoverthey were trapped by a set ofheavy-duty steel doors. It tookthe combined strength of everyperson in the room to pry open thedoors.

Once they got outside, theywere greeted by a tsunami warn-ing blaring over a loudspeaker.

Dogs get soaped atannual fundraiserBy Sky BuffatTimes-News correspondent

Dogs of all sizes and breeds weregreeted with smiles Saturday dur-ing an annual dog wash hosted bythe College of Southern Idaho’sveterinary technology program.

Held at A Pet’s Place in down-town Twin Falls, dog owners, for anominal fee, brought their bestfriends in for a bath, ear cleaning,and nail trim.

Sandra Miller and her two chil-dren brought their basset hound,Sadie, for some shining up.

“I just really don’t like washing

my dog on my own,” Miller said.“And I’m all about supporting lo-cal events.”

CSI’s vet tech program requiresstudents to complete a 200-hourexternship before taking the stateboard certification exam upongraduation. Those who completethe two-year program earn bothan associate degree and a boardcertification.

Chani Christensen, one of theteachers in the program, said theplacement rate for students is ex-tremely high.

The truth about lines at grocery storesII

conducted a highly sci-entific experiment lastweek, visiting three large

Twin Falls supermarkets.There I tested the theorythat the checkout counterline in which you are stand-ing is always the slowest.

Everybody thinks so, buteverybody is wrong.

Turns out it was only theslowest nine out of 10 times.

In the other case, somewoman pushing a grocerycart laden with 10 gallons ofraspberry sorbet got into thequeue at another check-stand behind a guy whochose to balance his check-book right there and then.

I paid for my purchasesand stood there andwatched as all that sherbetmelted in little puddlesaround the lady’s newNikes. At length, her faceturned the color of the rasp-berry sorbet and she madecertain unsolicited sugges-tions to the gentleman as towhat I thought were veryinnovative uses to which

both his groceries and hischeckbook could be put.

He turned without a wordand skulked away, leavingher stuck to the floor whereshe stood. As far as I know,she’s there still, blockingCheckstand 9.

Otherwise, my experi-ment was a complete suc-cess. Here’s what I discov-ered

1. The Express Lane isn’t.Shoppers don’t respect the10-item limit, and evenwhen they do, the checkerwill run out of quarters.

2. There is no bar-code onkumquats. So all of us willstand in line and wait for aprice check, which is neverforthcoming. Eventually,the store manager willsaunter up, scratch his head,and mutter: “I dunno. Two-

for-79 sound fair?”3. Getting behind a small,

unaccompanied child in acheckout line is a life sen-tence. Little kids like to hag-gle over the price of candybars, and when they settleupon a figure, they’ll pay forit by extracting paymentfrom their pockets one nick-el at a time. Until it’s deter-mined, after an hour’s pur-chase, that they’re 5 centsshort.

4. Anyone who unloadsmore than $200 worth ofgroceries at the checkstandwill attempt to pay for themwith a four-party, out-of-state check.

5. To the woman in theDay-glo orange tube topwho got into the argumentwith the checker at Winco,may I say on behalf of eachand every one of the 5 peoplequeued up behind you thatwe really don’t care if Pond’sCold Cream is 2 centscheaper across town.

6. For you debit card userswho get locked out of your

account after punching inthe wrong PIN four times,go home.

7. If there’s any criminalsanction whatsoever formurdering someone whokeeps you waiting behindher in line at the checkoutcounter while she finishesan article in The Star, thenthere shouldn’t be.

8. People who have thosecheckbooks that make car-bon copies of the checksthey write will still take timeto enter the amount of thecheck in their register whileyou wait in line behindthem.

9. Any shopper at thehead of a checkout queue ofmore than four people willhave forgotten to get greenolives.

10. Any time of the daythat you walk into Albert-son’s, it’ll be 5:30 p.m.

“We got to higher groundwithin a matter of minutesbefore the tsunami hit,”Hope said.

He could not believe hiseyes. The water swallowedvehicles and spit them outagain; concrete roads buck-led; roofs collapsed; shardsof glass were everywhere;and in some places, theground had sunk by 6 feet.

“I remember choking onthe smoke from all of thedust coming off of therooftops,’’ Hope said. “All ofyour senses come into play.The actual earthquake isloud, like a deep rumble of afreight train engine, and youcan feel it ... and the lightsand sirens were going off.”

Left stranded by the dualdisasters, Hope and hisJapanese co-workers weregrowing cold and hungry.But they believed they wouldbe taking a risk by seekingshelter inside a possibly un-stable building.

Instead, they found anabandoned vehicle and hud-dled together.

The next day, they set outin search of the nearestrefugee camp. They by-passed a traffic jam, decid-ing they’d be better off onfoot. Three miles into thehike, they came across aconvenience store.

“Once we were in the store,I vividly remember looking

down while I was standing inline and seeing a 2-inch crackopen up right underneath myfeet,”Hope said.

As the aftershocks con-tinued, Hope’s group decid-ed to keep moving. Eventu-ally, they encountered othersurvivors, who directedthem to the closest emer-gency shelter.

Once there, they foundthe shelter packed with peo-ple. Rations of rice, breadand bottled water were be-ing handed out. Hope andhis friends decided to presson to Tokyo and waited allday to catch a bus.

“People were cleaning up

the debris and soldiers wereclearing the roadways.’’Hope said. “I saw bouldersas big as a van on the road.”

After a long day of travel,the group found anothershelter, and for the first timein two days, Hope was ableto wrap himself in a blanketand get some rest.

“I thought the worst wasover, but the next day therewere rolling blackouts andno way to catch a train to getto the airport,’’ he said. “Weended up paying a taxi cabdriver $500 to keep movingforward.”

After one more costly taxiride, he finally made it to

the airport.Hope said his injury-free

escape from the center oftwo of the worst natural dis-asters in Japanese historyhas him rethinking what’simportant in life.

“I was so impressed withthe community spirit of theJapanese people during thecrisis,’’ he said. “Neighborswere helping neighbors;friends shared rations withtheir friends. That wouldn’thappen everywhere, andthese sort of moments canreally define people. Insteadof stealing and rioting, theychose to pull together andhelp each other out.”

And you’d have to payyour taxes on time. Taxes aredue April 18 this year, unlessyou file for an extension.Most who file electronic re-turns would still get tax re-funds in a timely manner,but processing of paper re-turns would be delayed, ac-cording to the Internal Rev-enue Service’s website.

Federal lands would be amix of open and closed.

National forest recreationsites that require a ForestService worker to stay openwould be shuttered to thepublic. The agency wouldcontinue efforts related tolaw enforcement and fire-fighting, though.

Bureau of Land Manage-ment areas would still beopen to the public, with theexception of two fee sites,Milner Dam and SalmonFalls, said spokeswomanHeather Tiel-Nelson.

Also shuttered would beNational Park Service sites,including Craters of theMoon National Monument.

The City of Rocks Nation-al Reserve’s federal areas

would be closed, but peoplecould still access CastleRocks State Park, said Wal-lace Keck, the park superin-tendent.

If you’re unemployed,take note: The Idaho De-partment of Labor, whichrelies heavily on federalmoney, could use state fundsto continue paying unem-ployment benefits for up to45 days.

If the shutdown were tolast longer, the departmentwould cease operations andstop unemployment pay-ments. That would triggerdelays in the department’sautomated system whilesorting out eligibility forback benefit payments, ac-cording to state officials.

Chris Ketchum, assistantarea manager for the U.S.Bureau of Reclamation, saidhis agency would continuewith its “mission-criticaloperations” like power plant

operations and flood con-trol.

The impact would be onthe day-to-day administra-tive work, he said, addingthat the public might have ahard time reaching theagency if it’s not for anemergency-related issue.

“In our office, a phonewould be picked up bysomebody,” he said. “It mayor may not be the first try.”

Medicare’s phone linesmay have longer hold andwait times too, according tothe agency.

Medicare patients couldstill get health care, and atrust fund would be able topay claims well into thesummer if the governmentgoes on a long-term hiatus.There could still be glitcheswith access, though, if theCenters for Medicare andMedicaid Services is unableto complete corrections torecords.

Farm loans and paymentsfrom the U.S. Department ofAgriculture would stop.

The U.S. Bureau of IndianAffairs would continue lawenforcement activities, andschools it oversees wouldnot be affected.

However, the agency saidit would furlough about halfits 8,767 employees, stopproviding funding for wel-fare assistance, and ceaseany road maintenance activ-ities.

Note: The Magic Valley Arts Council previouslyannounced a time of 3 p.m. That is incorrect.

“It may not always beright around here, but theypretty much all end up withjobs when they leave,” shesaid.

The students aren’t allfrom Idaho, either. Theycome from Utah, Oregon,Maryland and even Maineto be part of the CSI pro-gram because it is one ofthe few in the nation thatboasts the accreditation ofthe American VeterinaryMedicine Association. Theprogram currently hasabout 40 students.

The program consistent-ly keeps six dogs and sixcats to provide training forstudents.

“We want to make surewe can give our animals thebest care possible,” saidstudent coordinator AllieWhite. “This fundraiserhelps us do that and helpsus with field trips and otherstuff.”

White, who will graduate

in May, said she can hardlywait to get a dog of her own.

She wasn’t the only stu-dent ogling over the dogs asthey came in for their wash.

“I’ve always been an ani-mal person, it literally runsin my blood,” said studentTraci Stubbelfield. “My fa-vorite part is lovin’ on theanimals and the fun socialtime with my friends thathave become family.”

Students in the programparticipate in severalfundraisers over the courseof the year, but they saidthe dog wash is by far theirbiggest.

“This helps to give us allsome really good experi-ence, too,” said studentMolly Munns. “I think a bigpart of what brings peoplein is the fact that we do earcleaning and nail trimming.People are usually nervousto do that on their own.”

“I knew Zoey needed abath pretty bad,” Clint El-dredge said about his pit-bull. “Plus, this is really agreat deal for dog groom-ing.”

free books and free housingwith her parents, she figuresthey saved her family about$7,000 in college costs.

Her father, Minico teacherRandy Reddington, said hetells other students whowant to graduate early tostay in high school and getthe discounted college cred-its while they have a roofover their head and food onthe table.

“You’ll never get cheapercredits, and you’ll never bein a better situation,” he said.

Idaho emphasizesdual credit

Technology advanceshave spurred on dual creditenrollment in Idaho over thepast half-decade. At CSI,students are taking 2,165dual credit classes this se-mester, up from 1,016 in fall2005.

And while opponentsquestion the quality of dualcredit classes, especiallythose delivered online, highschool students will haveadded incentive to pursuethe classes in the comingschool year.

Starting in the fall, highschool students who fulfilltheir graduation require-ments by the start of theirsenior year will be eligible totake up to 36 dual enroll-ment credits during their fi-nal high school year — withthe state picking up the tab.

State public schools chiefTom Luna’s “StudentsCome First” education re-form plan will funnel$842,400 per year to theprogram, funding up to$2,700 per eligible student.

While that’s enough toreach as many as nearly13,000 students who takeone credit for $65 or as fewas 312 who take all 36 creditsfor $2,700, State Depart-ment of Education spokes-woman Melissa McGrathsaid there are no participa-tion estimates yet.

“Every student is differ-ent, but we would like everystudent to have a dual creditexperience before they leavehigh school because studiesshow they are more likely togo on to post-secondary ed-ucation,” she said.

Students can also use theprogram to pursue profes-sional technical certifications.

CSI Instructional DeanJohn Miller said he doesn’tknow whether the college’sdual enrollment numberswill increase due to the extrastate funding. CSI currentlyextends its dual credit pro-gram to about 60 Idaho highschools.

Miller said that, absent acrystal ball, educators justdon’t know the full effects ofLuna’s reform plan, whichmay lead schools to cut staffcurrently teaching dual en-rollment classes.

“If that happens, theymay opt to cover just thehigh school core classes,” hesaid.

Miller said high schoolstaff reductions could po-tentially put more pressureon Idaho colleges’ onlinedual credit offerings as morestudents take summer ornight courses through them.

“It could change the waystudents approach highschool if they take advantageof the program,” he said.

A path to follow

In 2002, Heather Meyers,Jennifer Reddington’s oldersister, was Idaho’s first highschool student to graduatesimultaneously with a highschool diploma and a collegedegree.

“To be fair, there was an-other young man from TwinFalls who graduated thesame time, but they placedthem in the graduation lineby height and Heather wasshorter, so she went first,”said the girls’ mother, Daw-na, a Minico secretary.

Since Heather graduated,only about five Minico stu-dents have followed suit.While 36 state-funded cred-

its won’t get a student all theway to a 64-credit associateof arts degree, they can be astart in the right direction ifcarefully planned.

“It’s not just about get-ting lots of credits, which isgood, but drawing that linein the sand with that actualdegree that makes a differ-ence,” Randy Reddingtonsaid.

Meyers and her fathertracked the classes she’dneed for her degree with aspreadsheet they now makeavailable to any student whowants it.

“I think a lot of kids don’tunderstand how much dedi-cation it’s going to take,”Randy said. “The idea of 64credits is daunting, even forsomeone who is dedicated todoing it.”

After graduation, Meyersenrolled in Idaho State Uni-versity’s pharmacy program,earning a doctorate degree insix years. She now works as apharmacist at Cassia Re-gional Medical Center inBurley.

Meyers said that in addi-tion to saving money, herdual credit classes also pre-pared her for the rigors ofcollege.

“Obviously, it took me lesstime in school and got meworking and doing what I

wanted to do earlier,” Meyerssaid.

Meyers said taking nightcourses at CSI during herhigh school years expandedher world and gave her theopportunity to meet newpeople.

“It also put me with a dif-ferent group of kids my firstyear of college,” she said.“They were older. They werethe juniors who had been inschool for a little bit andwere more focused on doingtheir school work ratherthan getting that freshmanexperience.”

Meyers said the downfallof stepping foot on campuswith junior standing werethe significantly harder 300-level classes she had to taketo keep pressing forward.

“If you’re not focused andready for the class work, youcould easily get a bad gradewithout knowing it was go-ing to happen to you.”

Navigating the future

CSI’s dual credit programwas implemented in the ear-ly 1990s, Miller said. LikeMeyers, about four to fivehigh school students gradu-ate with an associate degreefrom CSI each year, he said.

Jennifer Reddington hasbattled an undiagnosed ill-ness that has made gettingher dual diplomas “a hardroad,” her mother said. Butfor most students, transfer-ring earned credits to out-of-state or private universi-ties can represent thebiggest hurdle to clear intheir dual credit experience.

Miller said parents or stu-dents should always call afuture college to make surethe credits will transfer.

“Typically, if you havechallenges transferringcredits it will be in one of twoareas,” said Miller. “Eitherthey don’t take transfers atall, or the credit will transferas an elective credit and nottransfer into a specific

course of study.”Since high school coun-

selors don’t have access tostudents’ college files, Jen-nifer said it’s imperative forstudents to communicatewith counselors at bothschools to make sure they’reon course.

Jennifer’s classmate AndyKlamm will also graduatewith dual degrees this spring.

“And to Andy, I say thankyou — you saved me lots ofmoney,” said Lisa Klamm,Andy’s mother.

Her older son, Jeff, alsoparticipated in the dualcredit program but didn’tearn a degree.

“I’m sure a lot of highschool kids don’t have thatextra $65 a credit, but if theyare going to go to collegeanyway, I say find a way toscrape it up,” Lisa said.

She said Andy didn’tnecessarily plan on seekinga degree through takingdual credits until his senioryear, but started buying uphis credits as soon as he

turned 16.Andy said he didn’t sacri-

fice any of his high schoolexperience carrying the ex-tra load, and was able to at-tend sporting events andhang out with his friends.

“I had to put in a little bitmore effort,” he said. “But Ihave recommended it toother students. Everyonehas an edge these days, and ithelps to have that behindyou.”

Heather Meyers, a pharmacist at Cassia Regional Medical Center in

Burley, prepares intravenous injections on April 1. Meyers, like her sis-

ter Jennifer Reddington, took dual credit classes in high school and

said it helped her reach her education goals faster once she started

attending Idaho State University.

By Amy HuddlestonTimes-News writer

Saving up to $10,000 on collegecosts before even setting foot oncampus can be appealing for par-ents and students alike, but arehigh school dual credit coursesworth it? College officials andhigh school counselors in Idahocontinue to say,“absolutely.”

In Idaho, the courses are of-fered to high school students whoare at least 16 years old or havecompleted half their graduationrequirements. They carry creditsfrom an associated college and aretaught by teachers with eithermasters degrees or college ap-proval. College of Southern IdahoInstructional Dean John Millersaid participation can put col-lege-bound students ahead of thecurve, and encourage studentswho aren’t yet set on higherlearning to consider it as an op-tion.

“Success in anything gives youthe opportunity to be a risk takerand try for success in other areas,”he said.

Idaho’s public colleges anduniversities have reciprocityagreements, meaning academiccredits will transfer from one

college to another. And in 2012,Idaho public schools will offer upto 36 state-funded credits tostudents who finish their highschool requirements by the startof their senior year, meaningdual credit is about to have ahigher profile in Gem Stateschools.

But anyone thinking about get-ting a jump-start on their collegeeducation should keep these tips inmind:

Have a planTaking dual credit classes in high

school can free up a college sched-ule, giving students the option tograduate earlier or take more timeto explore several majors. So askyourself — and counselors — how acourse will fit into your larger aca-demic plan.

Gaining sophomore or juniorstatus before a student attendscollege can afford them scholar-ship opportunities their peersmay not get, along with other ad-vantages like early registration.

Consider the requirements

College-bound students need totake classes in three different areasto obtain a degree — general edu-cation, an academic major andelectives.

Miller said taking core educationclasses through dual credit is al-ways a good consideration.

College-level English, math, so-cial sciences and physical sciencesclasses will cover most basics thatstudents would otherwise take dur-ing their first two years of college.Conversely, while a computer-aid-ed drafting course might look inter-esting, it’s probably not going tohelp you get a nursing degree.

Miller said even if a core classdoesn’t go directly toward an in-tended major, the basic under-

standing of principles they canyield is good preparation for ad-vanced classes taken later on.

Be sure credits will transferWhile your dual credits will

transfer to the University of Idaho,they might not to the University ofOxford.

With the exception of a fewschools in the region, credits paidfor and listed on a transcript willtransfer. Miller tells students andparents considering dual credit tocall the colleges they are planningto apply to, especially private uni-versities, to ask if they accepttransfer credits.

Northern Nazarene Universityin Nampa takes all CSI credits andalso operates its own dual creditprogram. Dennis Waller, NNU di-rector of high school programs,said the registrar’s office at eachIdaho college and universitymatches transfer course descrip-tions with a class offered at its in-stitution to see if they line up.

He said differences between ac-

ademic courses and technical andprofessional courses factor intowhether credits will be acceptedtoward a major, so it’s best to talk tocollege advisers before signing upfor a course.

Assess your maturity levelStudents aren’t allowed to enroll

in dual credit classes until theyreach their sweet 16 birthdays for areason. Miller said that while dualcredit success is beneficial, a fail-ing grade will be permanentlyetched onto a student’s collegetranscript.

Waller said that dual credit suc-cess can be an asset toward gettinginto college or winning scholar-ships, so it’s important not to muckup the opportunity.

“If you have taken dual credityou will be looked at in a more pos-itive way. We ask whether we knowif the student has the propensity tosucceed and the ability to succeedin college-type courses,” Wallersaid. “Sometimes it really helps. Itnever hurts students to take thoseclasses.”

Sun Valley to pay county fordispatch but questions figuresBy Ariel HansenTimes-News writer

HAILEY — Sun ValleyCity Council membersweren’t in a good moodwhen they met Thursday toresolve a dispute aboutfunding countywide emer-gency dispatch operations,with several heated ex-changes marking their near-ly two-hour discussion.

In the end, they agreedthat miscommunication waslikely to blame for the dis-pute, and voted to sign acontract with the county forthose services for the currentfiscal year, including the fullamount the county hadbilled them for, about$117,000.

The major miscommuni-cations were between SunValley Mayor Wayne Willichand Blaine County commis-sioners, who act as the dis-patch governing board, andbetween Willich and hiscity’s council.

Willich said he told com-missioners in April 2010that he supported the 2011contract, but has assertedhe told them he would haveto clear the contract and anyfunds owed with the councilbefore it would be approvedfor that year’s city budget.

“(The commissioners)said your agreement to thatproposed model and figureswas commitment,” saidCouncilman Bob Young-man, describing conversa-tions he had with the com-missioners in recent weeks.“Based on the county inter-pretation of your commit-ment, I feel we are morally, ifnot legally, bound to fulfillthis contract.”

Willich argued that thecommissioners shouldn’thave assumed he couldspeak for the city in a con-tractual matter, and notedthat during city budgetdiscussions, council mem-bers decreased the amount

they felt they owed thecounty to about $85,000.The council shot back thatduring those budget dis-cussions, Willich never toldthem about any commit-ment, informal or other-wise, that he might havemade to the county.

The city has maintainedfor several years that it con-tributes disproportionatelyto the service it receivesfrom the county.

The county recently saidit is examining alternativefunding mechanisms to bepresented during the fiscal2012 contracting process,with data from past years tosupport each option. How-ever, most dispatch fundingpartners — including Belle-vue and Hailey, which SunValley claims pay signifi-cantly less than they should— are satisfied with thecurrent funding model.

“Because there’s suchstrong opinions aboutwhat’s equitable, it’s likelyone of the cities is not goingto be pleased with themethodology for 2012,” saidCommissioner Angenie Mc-Cleary. She said the mostprobable result would bethat one or more of the citieswould ask for arbitrationfrom the state’s E911 com-mission.

She is not opposed to thatprocess. “We tried so hard tobe able to do it at a local lev-el, but we dragged this on, inmy opinion, for too long.”

Near the end of theThursday meeting, Coun-cilman Nils Ribi said he hadexamined the county’sbooks for dispatch funding,and found figures that con-cerned the council.

In fiscal 2010, he said, thecounty budgeted $904,000for dispatch operations, butspent $808,000. “We endedup subsidizing them. If I al-locate that back out to us, wecould say we overpaid$22,000, because the county

pocketed that money,” Ribisaid.

However, McCleary not-ed, the contract doesn’t de-scribe any refund mecha-nism if dispatch servicescome in under budget.“There’s nothing within thecontract that would suggestthat the cities should be re-imbursed, that it shouldn’tcome out of the county’spart,” she said, arguing thatthe county already pays thelion’s share of the total dis-patch bill. “We’re certainlynot making a profit on dis-patch when we’re paying$700,000 for it.”

Several Sun Valley CityCouncil members agreedthat they ought to try to getother dispatch funding part-ners on their side of the ne-gotiating table for 2012, andthat examining the county’sbooks might be a way to dothat.

AROUND THE VALLEY

was that it could end litiga-tion, but Molloy noted thatwas unlikely given the oppo-sition by some to the pro-posed settlement.

One of the reasons the 10conservation groups enteredinto the settlement was be-cause of growing politicalpressure and potential Con-gressional action to reducewolf numbers in Montanaand other states due a gradualincrease of wolf attacks onlivestock and some big-gameherds suffering declines. Thegroups hoped a favorablecourt decision would providegreater protection for wolvesthan lawmakers might pro-vide. So the groups not onlylost in court on Saturday,their fears concerning law-makers removing federal pro-tections for wolves also be-came more real.

“The congressional threatwas very much on people’s

minds when we negotiatedthe settlement,” said An-drew Wetzler of the NaturalResources Defense Coun-cil. “In light of the courtruling, it’s going to make itmore difficult to derail therider that may well be at-tached to the budget dealthat will provide muchfewer protections forwolves than the settlementwould have.”

The proposed settlementeffectively asked Molloy toreverse his previous rulingson the matter. Last Augusthe faulted the Fish andWildlife Service for a 2009decision that took wolves offthe endangered list in Mon-tana and Idaho but notneighboring Wyoming. Hesaid decisions on the Endan-gered Species Act should be

based on science and not onpolitical boundaries, such asstate lines.

The federal governmentappealed that decision,leading to the proposed set-tlement agreement that hasnow been rejected.

Fed judge blocks wolf deal

BOISE (AP) — A federaljudge has denied a pro-posed settlement agree-ment between the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Serviceand 10 conservationgroups that would havelifted endangered speciesprotections for wolves inMontana and Idaho.

U.S. District JudgeDonald Molloy in Mis-soula on Saturday rejectedthe agreement that couldhave led to public huntingof some 1,300 wolves inthe two states.

In the 24-page deci-sion, Molloy cited thecourt’s lack of authority toput part of an endangeredspecies population understate management andexpose that population tohunting, noting “Con-gress has clearly deter-mined that animals on theESA must be protected assuch,” and the courtcouldn’t “exercise its dis-cretion to allow whatCongress forbids.”

He also said he couldn’tapprove the settlementproposed in March be-cause not all the parties in-volved in the case agreedwith it. Part of the argu-ment for the settlement

GOP continuesconservativemarch in 2011By John MillerAssociated Press writer

BOISE — From new limitson abortion to rapid-firesalvos targeting Congress’health care reforms, Idaho’sconservative Republican-led Legislature shifted fur-ther right during the 2011session — just as votersmandated last November.

The GOPpicked up fiveseats in theHouse and addedconservatives toits Senate rosterin an electionthat became aspringboard to extending itslegislative dominance.

One of the key players,second-term Rep. JudyBoyle, R-Midvale, didn’t geteverything she wanted. Forexample, her push to declarethe federal health insuranceoverhaul null and void waswatered down due to con-cerns by the state attorneygeneral that it was illegal.

Still, Boyle got her waymost of the time. She agreedthat GOP lawmakers inBoise this year legislatedmore closely than at anytime in recent history to thestate Republican Party plat-form, which advocates giv-ing government only themoney necessary to providewhat they deem appropriatefunctions — and no more.

“Those five seats didmake a difference,’’ Boylesaid, after the House ad-journed after 88 days, theseventh longest session inIdaho history. “The elec-torate said, ‘This is what wewant.’“

What struck observersand participants alike thissession was an air of in-evitability about many bills,like anti-union measuresthat included forbidding la-bor organizations from us-ing membership dues tosubsidize wages to helpunion contractors win proj-ects.

Or restricting abortions at20 weeks following fertiliza-tion, on grounds fetuses canfeel pain.

Or closing the state’s GOPprimary elections to outsidevoters.

Or giving Gov. C.L.“Butch’’ Otter authority todeclare an emergency overIdaho’s wolves, a recipe forlethal actions against theroughly 800 predators thatmany rural Republicans seeas the bane of their exis-tence.

It wasn’t if those meas-ured would pass, it waswhen.

The same goes for Super-intendent of Public Instruc-tion Tom Luna’s educationreforms for the state’s 115school districts and charterschools and 278,600 stu-dents. Flash back only threeyears to 2008.That’s the yearLuna failed at his first shot ateducation reform throughthe Senate,on a 16-19 vote.

What changed? The law-makers.

Republican Sen. MitchToryanski replaced Democ-rat Kate Kelly in Boise; LeeHeider of Twin Falls jetti-soned GOP centrist CharlesCoiner; Chuck Winder ofBoise knocked off Stan Bas-tian of Eagle; Bert Brackettreplaced Tom Gannon;Melinda Smyser replacedBrad Little when he becamelieutenant governor. The listgoes on.

These new arrivals haveturned the Senate into aconservative echo of theHouse.

Smyser, R-Parma, saidkeeping spending in check— lopping $35 million off thestate’s share of Medicaid, or$47 million from public ed-ucation to help fill budgetholes — is never easy, but it’sneeded if lawmakers are go-

ing to meettheir constitu-tional obliga-tion to balancethe budget.

All this is apart of a pen-dulum swing,

she said, with Republicansattempting to turn back aculture of entitlement wherepeople — even in GOP-lean-ing Idaho — came to expectgovernment to get them outof a jam.

“It’s a change in our wholesociety,’’ she said. “You haveto learn to take care of your-self.’’

Downtrodden Democrats,numbering just 20 in the en-tire expanse of the Capitolwhere they’re surrounded by85 Republicans, called thisthe worst session in memory.

They lamented the educa-tion and Medicaid cuts, butcould put up only token op-position as thousands ofteachers marched in protestoutside.

They failed to win a hear-ing on a measure to raise thecigarette tax meant to reduceyouth smoking and raise $50million to help plug budgetholes — even though it was aRepublican, Rep. DennisLake, R-Blackfoot, who hadoriginally sponsored the bill.Lake finally concluded themeasure didn’t have thevotes, so there was no reasonto unveil it for an initial hear-ing.

That infuriated Democ-rats, who accused Republi-cans of stifling debate oversound ideas, even if they aredestined to fail.

“It’s about power. It’s notabout policy,’’ said HouseMinority Leader JohnRusche, D-Lewiston. “I’mglad it’s over.’’

Democrats seem incredu-lous at the things Republi-cans feel are important totheir constituents.

“Any party that sponsorslegislation to put guns oncollege campuses, who es-sentially equates the afford-able health care act to AdolfHitler, that is a party thatdoes not deserve to be inpower,’’ said Senate assistantMinority Leader Les Bock,D-Boise.

But Republicans — theconservative ones — are inpower,and that’s not likely tochange.

Case in point: Just beforethe session adjourned onThursday, House MajorityLeader Lawerence Denneyousted GOP Reps. LeonSmith of Twin Falls and TomTrail of Moscow from theirleadership posts on theHouse Transportation andAgricultural Affairs commit-tees. He installed insteadReps. Joe Palmer of Meridianand Ken Andrus of Lava HotSprings.

The reason behind thepurge: Smith and Trail brokeranks too often with partycolleagues on proceduralvotes.

“Everybody gets a freepass or two,’’ Denney said,adding multiple offensescarry “consequences.’’

Residents battle bed bug infestationsKETCHUM — Pest exterminators in central Idaho say they are

getting an increasing number of calls from residents needing helpgetting rid of bed bug infestations.

Todd Nelson of Bedbug Thermal Solutions in Hailey says he’s get-ting a couple calls a day from residents wanting relief from the tinyreddish-brown insects that feed off human and animal blood, theirbites often leaving red welts.

Nelson says he heats buildings to 130 degrees to kill the bugsbecause the insects have become resistant to almost all the pesti-cides developed to kill them. He told the Idaho Mountain Express thatit was only a matter of time before bed bugs arrived in the area consid-ering the number of visitors drawn to the vacation region that includesSun Valley and Ketchum.

Conviction in double homicide upheldWALLACE — A court has upheld the conviction of a northern

Idaho man serving up to 30 years in prison for his role in a 2008double homicide

In a ruling Friday, the Idaho Supreme Court of Appeals found thatCorey Reid’s due process rights were not violated during his 1stDistrict Court trial two years ago. Reid was convicted in May 2009of two felony counts of aiding and abetting in the slaying of NeilHoward and Cynthia Bewick.

Gray wolves in Montana andIdaho would be taken off theendangered list under thebudget bill pending beforeCongress, two Western law-makers said.

Inclusion of the language tolift protections for wolveswas confirmed by the officesof Montana Democratic Sen.Jon Tester and IdahoRepublican Rep. MikeSimpson on Saturday.

Simpson spokeswoman NikkiWatts said the bill also wouldprevent courts from revers-ing any Congressionalaction.

“This wolf fix isn’t about oneparty’s agenda,” Tester said.“It’s about what’s right forMontana and the West —which is why I’ve been work-ing so hard to get this solu-tion passed, and why it hassupport from all sides.”

When Jeff Harmon talksabout his modest upbringingin Burley the 28-year-olddoesn’t lament about beingpoor or having to work hard.

Having been raised in a ru-ral community and workingon the family’s farm is part ofthe reason he’s so successful,Harmon said.

In 2009, a day that startedout like any other changed thecourse of his life forever.

That day, Dr. Bob Wagstaffvisited Harmon’s market re-search class at Brigham YoungUniversity.

Wagstaff, a retired dentist,had spent eight years trying tosell his invention: theOrabrush. He spent over$40,000 trying to market thetongue brush but wasn’t ableto capture the attention of re-tailers.

His last ditch effort wasvisiting the local university togarner input from marketingstudents.

Students conducted re-search and presented theirfindings to Wagstaff.

“They found that 92 per-cent of the people who would

actually like to try theOrabrush wouldn’t buy it onthe Internet,” Harmon toldthe Times-News in a phoneinterview. “But I was think-ing, ‘That means 8 percentprobably would buy it online.Eight percent is still millionsof people.”

Harmon and Wagstafftalked after class. The doctorwas intrigued.

“I told him that I loved theproduct and that I could sellOrabrush online,” Harmonsaid.

“I had used a tonguescraper before and I alwaysgot a lot of white gunk off mytongue but I didn’t know whythat was so important. A NewYork School of Dental Medi-cine study found that 98 per-cent of bad breath comes frombacteria on your tongue,”Harmon said. “By educatingthe market on why removingthe gunk is so important andby seeing the gunk when youuse the product ... it’s instantgratification.”

Harmon started workingon the Orabrush right away,.It consumed the hours beforeand after his full-time job.

Though gardeners andgolfers might hate a late-season cold snap, for the lo-cal ski industry, springtimesnow can be like a Christ-mas bonus. For Sun Valley,the March weather mad-ness resulted in solid springbreak business.

“The spring break week-end crowds this year havebeen wonderful,” Sun Val-ley Marketing Director JackSibbach said.

The late season skiershave helped make Sibbachconfident that Sun Valleyand its big draw terrain parkwill zoom ahead of lastyear’s 400,033 skiers on itsslopes before its April 24close date. Currently, theresort has had about387,000 skiers.

But Sun Valley isn’t theonly business happy thatschools close for a week inspring. Ed Hinkle, salesmanager at Claude’s Sportsin Twin Falls, said springbreak coupled with newsnow made March a lucra-tive month in equipmentrentals and repairs andclothing and equipmentsales. March’s overall saleswere up 26 percent fromMarch of last year.

“Which, for March, intoday’s world is pretty ex-citing for us as a local, fami-ly-owned business,” Hinklesaid.

Gary Miller, owner ofMagic Mountain, said thiswas the first year Magickept its shuttle runningthrough spring break. Theresults were good enoughthat he’s looking to developmore spring break pro-grams for next year.

But not everybody got asales uptick with the springsnow. Spokeswoman JodyBurrows said Pomerelle sawits biggest moneymaker fallearlier in the year. An earlysnowfall helped the resortopen in time for Christmasand Thanksgiving beforecold weather kept peopleindoors.

“We had a very,very goodNovember and Decemberand then when the coldweather set in, it hurts,”

Burrows said. “It hurts allover. People just don’t wantto recreate in sub-zerotemperatures.”

Miller said an early startand a juggernaut Decemberalso helped his slope gener-ate better numbers thanlast year.

“It was a lot better thisyear than last year. We’vebeen at it for about fiveyears and each year getsbigger and better,” Millersaid. “December was ourbest month. December isout best, by far.”

December may have got-ten the skiers riding thelifts, but a January lack ofpowder kept Miller worriedabout Magic’s numbers.March’s late snowfall mayhave helped the resort, butMiller said once springcomes around, people arealready looking ahead towinter sports. Magic closedApril 2.

Burrows said Pomerelle,which ends daily opera-tions this week, but contin-ues weekend lifts until April16, also attracts snow in thespring, but has a hardertime attracting people to skiit.

“It’s too bad in Novem-ber, they want to come upand ski on a foot of snow.When we have 10 feet ofsnow, they want to golf,”she said.

Early snow was also abonus for Sun Valley, aswell.

“It kicks us off to a goodstart,” Sibbach said. “It’simportant to open byChristmas.”

Ski resorts weren’t theonly ones blessed by Santa.Claude’s equipment saleswent up 50 percent in De-cember.

For those snow bunnieswho can resist the sirensong of warm weathersports, spring skiing can belight on the pocketbook.Sun Valley and Claude’sSports both roll out lower-priced packages andPomerelle plans end-of-the-year events and par-ties.

Xavier Charter Schoolstudents to learn savingskills from Zions Bank

Are parents teaching theirchildren enough about sav-ing money and personal fi-nance?

According to the T.RowePrice,“Parents,Kids andMoney”study released inMarch the answer is an over-whelming “no.”

Two-thirds of parents re-ported they could be doingmore to teach their childrenabout money and the basicsof saving.

It could be that adultsdon’t know enough aboutmoney management to teach

their kids.Forty-one percent of

adults gave themselves agrade of C,D or F on theirknowledge of personal fi-nance,according to the Na-tional Foundation for CreditCounseling’s Consumer Fi-nancial Literacy Survey forMarch.

But youth want to learnmore,according to the recentsurvey conducted by TheAllstate Foundation and Ju-nior Achievement USA.

It found that 81 percent ofteens say the recent reces-sion has motivated them tolearn more about managingtheir money.

To help boost personal fi-nance knowledge,Xavier

Charter School sixth gradersin Debbie Barrutia’s class-room will learn “SavingsABCs”by Zions Bank em-ployees Rosie Sloane andJolleen Kohler.

The pair is set to visit theclass on Tuesday,which isNational Teach Children toSave Day.

This year,Zions Bank em-ployees across Idaho andUtah will be making 700classroom presentations,teaching nearly 20,000 K-12students to be savvy aboutsavings — a record-breakingyear for the outreach effort.

If the data is accurate,itseems like a good idea for thekids to discuss what theylearned with mom and dad.

Florida artist uses cremated remains in portraitsBy Keith MorelliThe Tampa Tribune

THONOTOSASSA, Fla.—Raven Collins puts her heartand other people’s souls intoher art.

The 37-year-old artist, ofThonotosassa, Fla., has beensketching for more than 15years, specializing in detailedhand-drawn portraits.Nowadays, most of her com-missioned work incorporatesan unusual ingredient: Cre-mated remains — ashes —

brushed right into the por-trait.

It’s a fast-growing trend inthe art world, though Collinssays she is the only one she’saware of who uses ashes insketch drawings. Others mixremains in the paint of ab-stract works and some sculp-tors put cremated remains injewelry or glass. One artist inCanada compresses cremat-ed remains and puts it intopencils. “Like lead,” Collinssays.

She didn’t want to copy

anybody when she got theidea a few years ago. Rather,she let it percolate for a whilebefore deciding to create herPortraits From Ashes studioand use cremated remains inher drawings.

“I try to think outside thebox,”she says.

She says memorial por-traits with ashes now makeup nearly 90 percent of herbusiness. She gets some re-ferrals from funeral homes,but mostly her advertising isword of mouth and over the

Internet. People also sendashes and pictures of theirdeceased pets as well forcommissioned artwork.Memorial art work can rangefrom $200 to $300 each, shesays, depending on size andwhether color is used.

Her labor of love is part of agrowing trend in the busi-ness of death. As cremationsincrease in the funeral indus-try, the options of what to dowith the ashes are increasing

Association holds annual meeting

By David PittAssociated Press writer

Relying on the insuranceprovided by a credit card tocover a rental car can be riskybusiness. That’s particularlytrue if you haven’t read thefine print to understand thelimitations.

Exceptions and exclusionscould end up costing youhundreds or even thousandsof dollars if you assumeyou’re covered but find outlater you’re not.

“Ultimately the contractthat is enforceable is yourcard member agreement,”says Ben Woolsey, director ofmarketing and consumer re-search at CreditCards.com,a consumer resource web-site. The agreement providesall the granular details ofwhat the card company will

do, and what you’re requiredto do if you need to file aclaim.”

Most major credit cardsprovide collision and theftinsurance coverage if youcharge the entire cost of therental on the card and youdecline the rental company’scoverage.

TIME LIMITS

Be aware that most creditcards won’t fully cover youfor a long-term rental. Thecoverage for Diners Club andDiscover cards is limited to31 days, and for AmericanExpress is limited to 30 days.Visa and MasterCard offercoverage for 15 days.

The insurance often issupplemental to your pri-mary auto insurance policy,which means it may cover

your deductible and some ofthe expenses your primaryauto policy may not cover.

RENTAL COMPANYCHARGES

Be sure to also check thecredit card’s language re-garding payment of therental company’s “loss-of-use” charge. Rental compa-nies often will charge you if acar has to be repaired andcannot be leased out. Thecredit card insurance, insome cases, only covers thischarge if the rental companyprovides a utilization log toshow it has few other carsavailable to rent.

Some rental companies,however, consider the logsconfidential.

Sometimes we’re asked torelease them but we don’t,

said Paula Rivera a spokes-woman for The Hertz Corp.

If the card company can’tget the logs it may refuse topay this fee, leaving you onthe hook for hundreds ofdollars.

EXLUSIONS

Other pitfalls to look forinclude the types of vehiclescovered. Most cards excludevehicles valued at more than$50,000 or $75,000. Essen-tially, most cards will coverthe typical car a family mightuse for vacation or a busi-nessperson would drive. Ifyou have an occasion to renta high-end antique vehicle, asports car or luxury model,then you need to be sure toclarify your coverage. Alsoknow that most cards don’tcover pickup trucks.

Many also exclude certaincountries, so if you’re travel-ing abroad be sure to checkthe card’s coverage list toverify that you’re driving in alocation that’s covered.

THE FINE PRINTThe bottom line is if you

plan on relying on this cov-erage, carefully read the fineprint of your credit cardagreement. Confirm exactly

how long you’re covered andwhat the exemptions mightbe.

You can call the card’scustomer service line to getdetails, but it’s always best toconfirm your coverage inwriting. Rather than rely onwhat you’re told over thephone, ask that person topoint you to the relevantprovisions of your cardagreement.

as well. Some people putashes in fancy urns and keepthem on the mantle. Othersspill them in the ocean orspread them in a peacefulglen somewhere. More andmore are opting for incorpo-rating some of the ashes incommissioned artwork.

Jan Scheff, executive di-rector of the IndependentFuneral Directors of Florida,says funeral directors alwayslook for options for clientswho choose cremation. Jew-elry and glass sculptureshave been around for a whilebut memorial portraits aresomething new.

“I think it is relatively re-cent,”she says.

More cremations are donein Florida than nearly everyother state and the more me-morial options offered tosurviving relatives the better.Scheff says survivors whoopt for cremation often don’thave funeral services, so theylook for different ways to re-member their loved ones.

“We’ve seen some reallygood artists with glassware,”Scheff says. “Of course, jew-elry came first.

“Definitely, people noware really trying to findmeaningful ways to memori-alize their loved ones,” shesays, “maybe even more sothan having traditional kindsof viewings and funeral serv-ices and interments in ceme-teries.

“People are choosing cre-mation,” she says, “andthey’re looking for ways tomake it special.”

The trend of placing cre-mation ashes in artwork be-gan to take hold less than adecade ago, according to Artin Ashes, a website dedicatedto the medium. Funeralarrangements for centurieshave followed strict rulesdictated by funeral directors,the website says, and using

ashes of loved ones in a pieceof jewelry or mixed in paintfor picture just didn’t seemdignified.

But now that options areexpanding, the artistic com-munity is responding, thewebsite says.

“The idea has attracted thecuriosity of observers acrossthe United States,” the web-site says, “and appearspoised to follow in the foot-steps of cremation jewelry,motorcycle urns and evenspecialty caskets,all of whichare new ideas that haveproven so popular in the lastdecade that even traditionalfuneral homes are now rou-tinely offering them.”

Collins’ inspiration to cre-ate art from ashes came at acost: the tragic deaths of twonephews, Gavin, 3, and Se-bastian Rosado, a month shyof 2, who perished in a Tam-pa house fire five years ago.

When bereaved people callto commission a piece of me-morial art, Collins is able totalk to them about grief. Of-ten she talks with clients forhours about what they wantin a portrait and about thegrieving process.

“I tell them that I’ve beenthrough it,”she says.

Typically, she gets a smallpacket of ashes in the mailand then puts it into a mortarand uses a pestle to grind itinto a fine powder beforeadding the liquid. Just a smallbit of ash is needed, a table-spoon or less. She uses a Q-Tip to gently apply the pasteonto a finished portrait.

“For me,” she says, “it’s alot like surgery.”

In her work, the ashes arevisible. They could bebrushed into the hair or on alapel. Sometimes, the re-mains are sprinkled in a cor-ner or along a border, lookinglike sand.

“But never on the face,”she says.“I don’t want to take

away from the detail in theface.”

Other artists have begundabbling in cremation me-morial media.

Beverly Albrets of Naples

works in glass and a fewyears ago began incorporat-ing cremated remains in herart. Since then, that part ofher business has blos-somed.

CAREER MOVE

ArtistContinued from Business 1

Beware of insurance myths when renting a car

Before long he had broughtAustin Craig on board andwith the help of his old room-mate and a friend had a scriptdrafted and the first YouTubevideo produced and online.

“That was an amazingprocess,” Harmon said. “Thatfirst video took a few hundredbucks to produce. We shot it alocal pool hall, because it hada white wall. If you listenclosely, you can hear the poolballs cracking in the back-ground.”

That first video has beenviewed over 35 million times.

Before long Harmon luredtwo of his brothers to helpmanage the company’sgrowth.

Neal Harmon, 33, isOrabrush’s chief operatingofficer and Daniel Harmon,30,is also on staff.

To date, they’ve sold overone million units and theproduct is now featured inover 50 retail locations in fivecountries.

Locally, Orabrush is avail-able at Smith’s and WinCogrocery stores but will likelybe sold nationwide in thecoming months.

Orabrush’s YouTube chan-nel recently became the third

most sponsored, has over120,000 subscribers and isquickly approaching 280,000Facebook fans.

Hundreds of Orabrush’susers have posted video re-views of the product, mostlyraving about its effectiveness.

In addition to developingthe “Diary of a Dirty Tongue,”series with Morgan, the dirtytongue, Orabrush has usedother big-name YouTubestars, like self-proclaimed“internetainers,” Rhett andLink.

The duo (lifelong bestfriends Rhett McLaughlinand Link Neal of North Car-olina) are probably bestknown for their Internetvideos like, “The FacebookSong,” and “Fast Food FolkSong (at the Taco Bell drive-thru).”

They’ve also produced twotwo award-winning films andhave produced (and stared inseveral) national commercialsfor McDonald’s, Coca-Cola,Dentyne Gum, Taco Bell, Al-ka-Seltzer, Baby Ruth, Star-burst,Hummer,and Cadillac.

Although they’re busypreparing for the debut oftheir TV show for IFC, Rhettand Link took some time toanswer questions, via email,

for the Times-News. “Orabrush approached us

in 2010, hoping to find a wayfor us to work together. Wewere familiar with the brand,had seen a few of their videos,already considered ourselvesproponents of good breathand opponents of stankbreath,” they said. “So it wasreally a matter of finding theright idea.”

By mixing funny, yet oddlyspot on commentary in the,“Link’s Golden Advise forSingle Guys,” the pair createda series that places entertain-ment above advertising butdo both well.

“Last time (we) checked, a15-year old kid isn’t going topay to watch web videos,”they said.

“Working with Rhett andLink was so amazing,”

said Harmon.But then again, he said, the

entire process has beenamazing.

“My brothers and I all haveentrepreneurial spirit thatwas fostered and supportedby my parents,”Harmon said.

Back when Harmon wasselling sacks of Idaho-grownpotatoes door to door in SaltLake City to help pay for hisprivate school tuition he nev-er thought success wouldcome so soon.

“Two years ago, thiswouldn’t have been success-ful,”he said. “The Internetand the tools provided byYouTube have leveled theplaying field.”

EDITORIAL

The good, thebad and the uglyof ’11 Legislature

Just after New Year’s Day 1951,newly electedRepublican Gov.Len Jordan and his expandedmajority in the Idaho Legislature rolled intoBoise at a full boil.

Nationally,President Harry Truman was onthe ropes politically,and Republicans who

hadn’t had a thing to cheer about for 20 years were en-ergized.

Just-retired GOP Gov.C.A.“Doc”Robins had beenentirely too cozy with Democratic legislators and Tru-man’s Square Deal policies,in many Idaho Republi-cans’estimation.There would be no such fraterniza-tion in the 31st Legislature.

Jordan’s motto was “retrenchment,”and he meantbusiness.

For starters,the governor wanted to cut 25 percentfrom Idaho’s $54 million general fund budget.Thatwould be the equivalent of current Gov.C.L.“Butch”Otter seeking to trim $575 million from this year’s $2.3 billion spending blueprint.

Jordan favored scrapping Idaho’s six-year-oldteachers’retirement program,and he thought schooldistricts and counties should cover the entire cost ofbusing students.The governor believed countiesshould pick up half the tab for the University of Idaho’sCooperative Extension Service and proposed curtail-ing ag research at the U of I.And Jordan asked for a cutin payroll at the Idaho State Police.

Most of all,the governor demanded that the South-ern Idaho College of Idaho at Albion and the NorthIdaho College of Education in Lewiston be closed as aneconomy measure.

GOP legislative leaders — Joint Finance-Appropria-tions Committee Chairman Dave Jones of Malad,Senate President Earl Soelberg of Arco and SpeakerBill Mills of Moscow — heartily approved.

Jordan managed to kill the Albion college,but hedidn’t get most of his agenda through of the 31st Leg-islature,which was nasty,brutish and long.From thatday until this,it’s been considered the worst in post-war Idaho history.

Maybe not anymore.The first session of the 61st Legislature adjourned

Thursday with a state bitterly divided over Superinten-dent of Public Instruction Tom Luna’s education re-form proposal.Lawmakers slashed state support forMedicaid by $35 million,public school funding by $47 million and higher education dollars by $8 million.

Legislators passed a bill restricting abortion that’sprobably unconstitutional,changed the Republicanprimary so that only party faithful may be able to vote,authorized the governor to declare a “wolf emer-gency,”made dairies’nutrient management planstrade secrets,and rewrote Idaho’s Right to Farm law sobroadly that it might limit counties’ability to regulatethe expansion of slaughterhouses,potato-processingoperations and cheese factories.

And lawmakers refused — resolutely — to considerraising any tax,including a fee on convicted criminals.

There were some positive developments.Largelythrough the work of state Rep.Fred Wood,R-Burley,the Legislature blunted the harshest impacts of Med-icaid cuts on Idaho’s neediest citizens.Legislatorspassed Otter’s bill to reward employers who add totheir payrolls through 2013 with tax credits worth be-tween 2 percent and 6 percent,they sidetracked a pro-posal that would allow firearms on college campuses,and turned back a campaign to declare the nationalhealth care reform law “null and void”in Idaho.

Best of all they plugged a $92 million hole in thebudget with the least possible damage to Idahoans,thanks mostly to Rep.Maxine Bell,R-Jerome; Sen.Dean Cameron,R-Rupert,and the Joint Finance-Ap-propriations Committee.

But it’s education reform — Luna’s “Students ComeFirst”initiative — that the first session of the 61st Leg-islature will be remembered for.It sharply curtailedteachers’collective bargaining rights; phased outtenure; instituted a merit pay system,and paid forclassroom technology,laptops and teacher merit payby taking money from the pool that funds salaries forteachers and administrators.

Equally troubling,the Legislature made a commit-ment to finance elements of Students Come First inthe future with money the state may not have.

Petition drives for 2012 referendums on all threeschool reform bills are already under way.Opponentsnow have 57 days to gather 47,432 signatures fromregistered voters on each bill,and given the passionsgenerated by this debate they’ll probably get them —starting with most of Idaho’s 15,000 public schoolteachers.

Whatever happens,the actions of this Legislaturewill echo for years to come.And probably not for thebetter.

In Idaho, a different sort of privacy law emerges

YYou may recall my col-umn from two weeksago: Utah’s Legisla-

ture attempted to slide in abill which dealt a severe blowto peoples’ ability to obtainpublic records. It placed aburden on the public toprove a record’s opennessand shielded lawmakers’text messages, voice mailsand the like from

public scrutiny.They were taught a harsh

lesson when constituentsexploded and forced a repeal

of the law on the reluctantlegislators.

Compare that to theopen-records law that theIdaho Legislature justpassed.

The new law states(among other things) thatagencies can’t charge print-ing fees for the first 100pages, they can’t charge forthe first two hours of labor,

and once the clock did startrunning, labor fees wouldhave to be at the hourly rateof the agency’s lowest-paidqualified employee.

Notice any difference?How is it that, while

Utah’s legislators were arro-gantly clamping down onthe public’s right to know,

How they

Idaho’s lawmakers were vot-ing on a fair and logical bill?

The distinction is thatIdaho’s bill was drafted by acurious mix of public, pri-vate and media organiza-tions. The Idaho Press Cluband the Idaho Dairymen’sAssociation drafted the leg-islation with help from theIdaho Association of Coun-ties and Idaho FreedomFoundation.

The alliance of public andprivate interests sets up asystem of checks and bal-ances, and shows all sides attheir best.

I read through the bill — ata breezy six pages, it was re-freshingly to the point —sure that there had to be acatch somewhere. Whilenobody would mistake mydegrees in music and com-munications for anythingapproaching law, the bill wasremarkably fair to Idahoans,and fine print is virtuallynonexistent.

It’s not perfect; the billmakes it tougher to waivethe open records fee. In or-der to waive fees, the requestmust contribute greatly tothe public’s understandingof government, or the re-questor must be unable topay. There’s also a mentionof the fee not being waived ifthe record was pulled out of“individual interest.”

Setting up a system thatgives out fewer records freeof charge isn’t a bad thing.When someone requestsrecords from the state,there’s not always an “easy”button. A state employeehad to divert from his or her

normal work to do researchand reporting for the re-questor — it’s only fair thatthe taxpayers are reimbursedfor the time spent.

And with the new feestructure in place, openrecords are affordable, or, atthe least, fairly priced for thetime spent.

If we can pull more agen-cies together like this, thebest of private, governmentand media interests comethrough — three types of

agencies whose energy canbest be served by support-ing, and not stonewalling,each other.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EditorContinued from Opinion 1

We will have the power to say no to Tom Luna’s ed reform

In 2006, Jim Risch (R) tiedschool funding to sales taxand school administratorsopposed it because it re-duced school funding sta-bility by tying it directly tothe economy. Last year’s re-cession caused mandatedpay cuts and furlough days.Teachers accepted the situ-ation for what it was andhumbly continued doingtheir outstanding work withIdaho students.

But Tom Luna and Gov.Otter treat teachers as ifthey had threatened to go onstrike and insist on replac-ing 700 of them with a ma-chine. Not everyone agreeswith Tom Luna and the gov-ernor. In a House EducationCommittee last week, Rep.Steven Hartgen (R) fromTwin Falls said “It is clearthat mobile devices andtechnology will replace 25percent of Idaho publicschool teachers in a fewyears.” According to Rep.Tom Trail (R) of Moscow,“IfRep. Hartgen is correct,then it would be possible formore than 3,000 teachers tolose their jobs due to thislegislation.” Mr. Trail goeson to say,“Mr. Luna hascleverly taken himself offthe hook, and if the legisla-tion passes he will point atthe local school districts andsay,“It was a local decision.”

Sen. Dean Cameron (R) ofRupert is opposed because“This is not a consensus ap-proach” and “It contains in-flators and deflators and tiesthe hands of JFAC and fu-ture legislators,” and “Itgives new authority andpower to distribute funds tothe superintendent of pub-lic instruction and not theLegislature.”

Tom Luna and Gov. Otterrefuse to listen. They tell usthat it has to be this way orno way at all. Later thismonth, there will be a recallpetition circulatedstatewide and we, the peo-ple, will have the power tosay “no way at all” to TomLuna.

Teachers have sacrificedmore than enough

This letter is in responseto those people who thinkteachers have not sacrificedenough. First of all, teacherswere making major sacri-fices before the economicdownturn occurred. Theygive time, effort and moneyto get their education. Themoney they sacrifice is both

what they pay for their edu-cation and the earning yearsthey give up to get their ed-ucation.

Then the pay Idahoteachers received before thedownturn was pitifully lowfor anyone with a collegedegree. Teachers make sig-nificantly less than otherpeople with a college de-gree. On top of that, underthe Idaho pay system, be-ginning teachers stay at thatsame pay level for multipleyears before getting a raise.People do not want to hearit, but teachers deserve tomake more money thanthose people who do nothave a degree.

People in Idaho do notvalue education or teachers,but contrary to public opin-ion, teaching is a job that theoverwhelming majority ofpeople do not have the skillto do well. They work hardfor long hours, during andoutside the regular schoolday hours. They have theknowledge required by theirfield. In addition, they havethe ability to inspire andteach others, which only asmall percentage of peoplecan do.

The quality of teachersdetermines the future suc-cess of their students andthe success of the MagicValley in general. So whatare you going to do whenskilled people either chooseother professions or chooseto teach at other locationsthat pay more money forteaching?

The reality is that skilledpeople have other optionsand, if they choose not toteach here, your childrenwill be left with an inferioreducation and poorprospects for their future.

There are biggerthreats for Idahoansthan just wolves

The editorial in Thurs-day’s Times-News dealt di-rectly and honestly with thecontention posed by thepresence of wolves in Idaho.

Dealing with the subject ofwolves and their impact onour environment is an emo-tional issue, primarily driv-en by a primordial fear of amuch-maligned animal,better known in literary cir-cles as “The Big Bad Wolf.”

Articles have been pub-lished regularly to keep usinformed of the battleagainst the proliferation ofwolves in our state and thesupposed threat they poseto our safety and well-be-ing. As far as I am con-cerned, the scary part of thissubject is the paranoia overwolf packs, which followtheir prey, i.e., elk, whichhave invaded human habi-tats to find food that hasdisappeared when humansthemselves invaded the ar-eas formerly frequented bythose displaced animals.By this definition, humanscan be defined as predatorswho threaten the existenceof other species of animals.

The scary part about all ofthis is that wolves are only asmall part of the food chain,and if hunted to extinction(again) will be supplanted bythe next phalanx of preda-tors, coyotes for one, andthe resulting slaughter oflivestock and wildlife couldbecome even more ugly. Asthe physicists say,“Natureabhors a vacuum.”

Wolves have played therole of the “bad guys” sincethe beginning of man’s in-vasion of the earth. In 17th-century Germany, there wasreal concern about childrenwho might wander into theforest and become the vic-tims of werewolves, a fearwhich prompted the Broth-ers Grimm to tell their apoc-ryphal story of the wolf whopreyed upon a little girlwearing a red hood and herbedridden grandmother,who like the present-daywolf was put in the delistedcategory because of her ad-vanced age.

Personally, I find the pro-liferation of unattendedpacks of dogs and sexualpredators in our area to bemuch more threateningthan any wolves who mightbe hanging out in the neigh-

borhood. Those pose athreat that we can deal withresponsibly. Wolves are an-other story to which we haveyet to find a satisfactoryending.

We better take care ofour police officers orthey might go away

I see the Twin Falls PoliceDepartment was involved inanother life-threateningsituation Tuesday night —split-second decisions andhoping the correct oneswere made to protect them-selves, the public and theperpetrator.

Every time an officer firestheir weapon or takes anyaction using deadly force todefend themselves or thepublic, their career is on theline. A split-second deci-sion and reaction must becorrect. Every time deadlyforce is used, an investiga-tion by a neutral agency isconducted. They may seethings differently. And theofficer’s career is in jeop-ardy. The competency of thedepartment is questionableand the city will be sued bythe bad guy and loose.

Which brings up the mainfocal point of this letter.Since this recession begantwo or three years ago, theTwin Falls Police Depart-ment has not and will notreceive a pay hike. I am surethat the City Council feelsthat the city’s financial in-put from sales tax, propertytax, etc., does warrant a payraise for the police depart-ment. I don’t know what thestatus for the fire depart-ment is but probably thesame. And I am positive thatthe chief of police will worktoward getting a pay in-crease for the brave men andwomen who work 12-hourshifts and in a dangerousenvironment.

But the Twin Falls leaderscannot afford not to raise thepay for the Twin Falls PoliceDepartment. They will losetheir best and most dedicat-ed to Boise or other agencies.Ask any officer how manygood men and women haveleft to go to Boise? Moneyshould not be an issue in se-lecting and maintaining agood police department orany civil agency.

Having spent 20 years inthe Army and a second ca-reer as a fireman at a feder-ally run site, I have seen theeffects when good peopleleave for the money. Fami-lies, lifestyle and retirementdepend upon it.

A noble Bible, still divisive

What is the word ofGod?

To answer thatquestion,millions have died,and churches and govern-ments have risen and fallen.

One thing is certain:Whatever the word of Godmay be,to get into print,itmust first pass through theminds and hands of humanbeings.

That’s the lesson of this,the 400th anniversary ofperhaps the single most fa-mous book in English,a bookprinted more than a billiontimes,a book still the focus offaith,prayer and controversy.

In 1611,the first editionappeared of what’s known asthe Authorized King JamesVersion.(James I commis-sioned it,but never officiallyauthorized the result.Still,the name stuck.) The KJV is ashaping force of our lan-guage,a treasure in its ownright,a mighty collection ofwisdom,holiness and com-fort — and a warning againstextremism in religious andsecular life.

Its creation took sevenyears’work by 47 of Eng-land’s most learned men.Along with the works ofShakespeare,it has exertedthe strongest and longest ef-fect on the vocabulary,syn-tax and cadence of English ofanything ever printed.Manyof us grow up imprinted withits rhythms and language.It’s there in Jefferson,Dar-win,Dickens,Whitman,Stowe,Lincoln,Melville,Faulkner,Hemingway,Byatt.Few writers in English havebeen free of its influence.Many of us can recall versesin a moment:

Psalm 126:4: “Turn againour captivity, O Lord, as thestreams in the south.”

Ecclesiastes 11:1: “Castthy bread upon the waters:for thou shalt find it aftermany days.”

Matthew 5:5: “Blessed arethe meek: for they shall in-herit the earth.”

1 Corinthians 2:9: “Eyehath not seen, nor ear heard,neither have entered into theheart of man, the thingswhich God hath prepared forthem that love him.”

Its words still challenge,elevate,elate,daunt andstartle.

Debora Shuger,distin-guished professor of Englishat UCLA,says,“What hasalways struck me about it isits faithfulness to the Greekand Hebrew originals.Youcan find errors and questioninterpretations,yes,butthese were translators whoheard the poetry,the under-lying feeling,and stay true toit throughout.”She thinksmodern translations,whichare “true to a different aspectof the text — the literalmeaning of words,”missthis.

She says when she first

read the KJV cover to cover,she was amazed at how con-sistent the translation was.“All the images of ‘ransom-ing’and ’redemption,’frombook to book,stay steady,”she says.“And when theword is ‘fulfillment,’whetherof a period of time or a preg-nancy coming to term,theystay with it.They’re verysensitive.”

But this book cannotstand apart from religion,orwhat it means today.

As it was from the begin-ning,the KJV remains acompromise,a committeework.The Church of Eng-land was only a couple ofgenerations old.King andbishops worried aboutProtestants,Catholics andPuritans.All had their ownBibles,and many had theireyes on power.The challengewas to create a Bible thatclarified what the newchurch was and wasn’t.

But there was anotherchallenge,as Shuger pointsout: To stay true to the greattradition,the older church —“really,the medieval Catholictradition”— without harm-ing the holiness or beloved-ness of the Scriptures.

Today,we see that battlecarried into our very govern-ment,as politicians,many ofthem religious,grapple overhow to read our Constitu-tion.Why does this debateso often lack civility? Be-cause in many hearts it’s areligious debate,driving tothe foundations of authorityand communal life.

We human beings oftenuse our most beautiful thingsto poison our world.I hopewe are not doing that now.Think of the KJV,created as acompromise between tradi-tion and the needs of a youngfaith.Its creators,wary andweary of sectarian strife,hoped it could bring peace,lead the faithful to the Godthey sought.

It has done that in millionsand millions of lives — and insome of the most sublimeEnglish ever written.

All religious people,and allmembers of all political par-ties,have a right to their sa-cred texts and their ways ofreading them.All churches,and all political parties,havethe right to seek new mem-bers.But all sides,in further-ing their parties’aims,haveforgotten love of neighbor.The violence of today’s po-litical discourse reminds usof how beautiful,how wise,and how little heeded theKing James Bible is today.

WASHINGTON—It was,in the grand scheme, just alittle change of course, butthe decision to cut spendingeven a little after years ofhuge increases brought thegovernment to the brink of ashutdown and sets the stagefor a much bigger fight thatwill dominate Washingtonpolitics through the 2012elections and perhaps foryears to come.

One leader, House Speak-er John Boehner, R-Ohio,will face the challenge ofnavigating the demands oftea party conservatives tocut spending deeply whilenot scaring off independentvoters. He emerged from thisfirst round as a skilled nego-tiator and effective leader.

Another, President BarackObama, who went alongwith Republican demandson taxes and spending as heseeks support from the in-dependents he needs to winre-election still faces ques-tions about his hands-offleadership style and low-profile approach.

The coming clashes overthe nation’s debt ceiling andthe 2012 budget will testwhether the nation hadmore government than it’swilling to pay for. The gov-ernment’s annual deficit is$1.6 trillion, adding to a debtof $14 trillion that is expect-ed to grow for years to come.

When the smiles andbackslapping wear off fromFriday night’s deal to financethe government until theend of September, realitywill settle back in, analystssaid.

“The real test will bewhether both sides can con-tinue to work together tofind real solutions to the se-rious fiscal challenges facingour nation,’’ said DavidWalker, a former U.S. comp-troller general and founderof a group called No Labels.

“Everyone’s happy it’sdone. But it doesn’t speakwell about how Washingtonworks,’’ said Lee M.Miringoff, director of theMarist Institute for PublicOpinion at Marist College inPoughkeepsie, N.Y.

“The only way they got tothis point was by duckingsome of the hot-button is-sues. It’s Washington’s wayof pushing things aside.’’

Despite the tension andthreat of a governmentshutdown, the deal ad-dressed just a sliver of thebudget for just half of theyear. It cut $38.5 billion froma $3.8 trillion budget.

That number came afterthe budget steady increasesthat saw federal spendingrise from $1.8 trillion in2001, when George W. Bushtook office, to $3.5 trillion in2009, the year Obama tookoffice, to $3.8 trillion thisyear.

The result is a politicalclash that pits alarm oversoaring debt against thepopularity of federal pro-grams such as Medicare andSocial Security that con-

sume much of the budget.Boehner pledged to cut

spending much more thanthis weekend’s agreementdoes.

That will be difficult. ButBoehner emerged from thisfirst budget fight with astronger hand, having woncuts from Obama and theDemocrats while convincingtea party conservatives thatthe relatively small stakesweren’t worth shuttingdown the government.

“John Boehner proved hismettle as speaker,’’ said Lin-da Fowler, a political scien-tist at Dartmouth College inNew Hampshire. “He wasvery adroit in letting tea par-ty freshmen have their day inthe sun and keeping themfrom bolting. He deserves alot of credit. In the end, allsides clearly made the samecalculation, that nobodywanted the risk of a shut-down. But whether that stillholds when they start doingthe debt ceiling is anotherstory.’’

Conservatives are expect-ed to use a vote this spring toraise the limit on how muchthe government can borrowto demand more cuts. Thevote is critical to keeping theU.S. from defaulting on itsdebt.

At the same time, Rep.Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chair-man of the House BudgetCommittee, proposes abudget for the fiscal yearstarting Oct. 1 that wouldcut $4 trillion over the nextdecade, in part by changingMedicare, the program forthe elderly, and Medicaid,the health-care program forthe poor.

Obama has not tipped hishand about how or whetherhe’ll engage in that largerdebate.

He left much of the publicposturing this week to otherDemocrats, part of a broaderstrategy of keeping him

away from TV cameras outof the belief among senioraides that he was overex-posed in his first two yearsand lost his ability to com-mand attention.

Obama also has not pro-posed a plan to address thebiggest drivers of comingdeficits, so-called entitle-ments such as Medicare andSocial Security, and hebrushed aside most of therecommendations of hisown deficit commission,which suggested cuts inthose programs.

“If anybody’s going tolead a long-term solution,he’s the indispensible man,’’said Steven Schier, a politi-cal scientist at CarletonCollege in Minnesota. “Sofar, we’re waiting. Theyknow they have to get to thebig stuff. But they’ve beenhamstrung by the smallstuff.’’

Obama, who began his re-election campaign Monday,has been working to winback support from inde-pendent voters ever sincethey abandoned his party inthe November congressionalelections. That’s why he’stried to appear above parti-san fights in Washingtonthat independents hate,while giving into Republicandemands, first, to extend theBush-era tax cuts for thewealthy and now, to cutspending.

Friday night,he celebratedthe budget deal, even thoughit cut spending from his ownbudget.

“One thing is clear: Peopleare beginning to notice Pres-ident Obama’s self-imposedabsence from this discus-sion,’’ William Galston, aDemocratic strategist andveteran of the Clinton WhiteHouse, wrote this week.“Surveys are beginning tochart a decline in the publicperception of him as a strongleader.’’

More budget battles loom Jury: Philly docs failed toreport dangerous peer

PHILADELPHIA (AP)— Women went to Dr.Kermit Gosnell to endtheir pregnancies. Manycame away with life-threatening infectionsand punctured organs;some still had fetal partsinside them when theyarrived at nearby hospi-tals in dire need of emer-gency care.

Doctors at the Univer-sity of PennsylvaniaHealth System, whichoperates two hospitalswithin a mile of Gosnell’ssqualid abortion clinic inWest Philadelphia, sawat least six of these pa-tients — two of whomdied. But they largelyfailed in their legal andethical duties to reporttheir peer’s incompe-tence, according to agrand jury report.

“We are very troubledthat almost all of thedoctors who treatedthese women routinelyfailed to report a fellowphysician who was soobviously endangeringhis patients,” wrote thePhiladelphia grand ju-rors, who recommendeda slew of charges againstGosnell and his staff inJanuary.

The health system — inapparent contradictionof the grand jury report

— released a statementsaying that it had “pro-vided reports to the au-thorities regarding pa-tients of Dr. Gosnell whosought additional care atour hospitals” starting in1999.

But the system’s attor-neys could only producea single report for thegrand jury. That involved22-year-old SemikaShaw, who died at theuniversity hospital of in-ternal bleeding and sep-sis after a botched abor-tion in 2000. Gosnell’sinsurers ultimately paidout a $900,000 settle-ment in that case.

Health system spokes-woman Susan Phillipslater clarified the state-ment, saying “we havestaff who specifically re-call making oral reports”to state officials aboutGosnell.

“Unfortunately, wehave not been able to findadditional written reportsfrom these past years,”she wrote in an email.

A Philadelphia doctorand suburban medicalexaminer who did blowthe whistle said theynever heard back fromstate officials, whose re-peated lapses helpedGosnell to operateunchecked for years.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announces on Friday that a

deal has been reached for the federal budget at the Capitol in

Washington, D.C.

Almost half of the budget cuts,some $18 billion, in the budgetpact between President BarackObama don’t involve cuts toagency operating accountsspending hawks like to target.They involve cuts to so-calledmandatory programs whosebudgets run mostly on autopi-lot. Such cuts officially “score’’as savings that could be used topay for spending elsewhere, butthey often have little real impactin terms of cutting the deficit.

They include: • $2.5 billion in leftover highwaymoney unavailable under cur-rent budget caps.

• $500 million from reforms tothe Pell Grant program.

• $3.5 billion in unusedChildren’s Health InsuranceProgram funds.

• $5 billion in “phantom” savingsfrom capping payments from aJustice Department trust fundfor crime victims. Under arcanebudget rules, appropriators canclaim year after year the fullamount of money in the trustfund.

• $400 million in similar savingsfrom capping a Treasury fund tohelp pay for the department’scrime-fighting efforts.

• $2.2 billion in cuts to subsidiesfor health care cooperatives.

How old is too old?By Scott MayerowitzAssociated Press writer

How old is too old for anairplane?

Most travelers don’tthink twice about it — al-though there’s somethingunsettling about easing intoyour seat and finding thearmrest still has an ashtraybuilt in.

But fliers may be moreworried than usual after a 5-foot hole opened in theroof of a 15-year-oldSouthwest jet earlier thismonth. Southwest quicklygrounded 79 of its olderBoeing 737s for inspections.

A well-maintained planecan fly for decades. Olderplanes do need more re-pairs, but experts say anaircraft’s age has never beenthe cause of a passengerdeath. Pilot training and fa-tigue, as well as frequencyof aircraft maintenance, arelarger safety issues.

The average age of jetsflown by U.S. airlines is 11 years, slightly above theworld average of 10 but farshy of the 28 forVenezuela’s fleet — the old-est of any country withmore than a handful of jets.

Theoretically, a jet couldcontinue flying indefinitelyas long as an airline main-tained it, says Bill Voss,president and CEO of theFlight Safety Foundation.The costs would eventuallybe prohibitive, though. De-ciding when to mothball anairplane is usually a matterof the economics of the in-dividual airline.

Older planes need morefrequent inspections, andbigger and costlier repairs.That means less time in thesky carrying paying pas-sengers. Besides beingcheaper to maintain, newer

planes offer substantial fuelsavings, and passengers en-joy features like personalTVs.

“Aircraft become im-practical a long time beforethey become unsafe,” Vosssays.

Nearly one out of everyfour planes flown today byU.S. airlines is more than 15years old. That’s about thesame share as a decade ago,according to aviation con-sulting firm Ascend. Thegovernment requires morefrequent inspections as anairplane or certain parts getolder. The Federal AviationAdministration doesn’t set amandatory retirement agefor planes.

Age isn’t the only factorwhen it comes to safety.Each takeoff and landing cy-cle — and the pressurizationand depressurization asso-ciated with it — adds stressto the skin of the plane. Air-craft that fly short, frequentroutes go through more ofthese cycles than planes fly-ing long distances. In 1988, a19-year-old Aloha AirlinesBoeing 737-200 that hadmade frequent, short hops

among the Hawaiian islandslost a large part of its roof.Corrosion and metal fatiguewere to blame.

On April 1, a SouthwestBoeing 737-300 with 118people on board rapidly lostcabin pressure just aftertakeoff from Phoenix afterthe plane’s fuselage rup-tured, causing a 5-foot tear.Passengers reached for oxy-gen masks as the pilotsquickly brought the planedown to an altitude withmore oxygen in the air beforemaking an emergency land-ing at an Arizona militarybase.

No one was seriously in-jured. While the incident isstill being investigated,the jethad been pressurized and de-pressurized 39,000 times inits 15 years and metal fatigueis suspected. Cracks weresubsequently found on fiveother Southwest jets withmore than 30,000 cycles.

That came as a shock tothe industry. Boeing engi-neers had forecast that theplanes wouldn’t need to beinspected for metal fatigueuntil at least 60,000 cycles.

“It reminds us that asmuch we know about metalstructures, we haven’t fig-ured it all out yet,” Voss says.

Flying is the safest form ofpublic transportation. JohnM. Cox, an aviation safetyconsultant and former com-mercial pilot, says regulatorsdo a good job of making sureairlines perform propermaintenance.

“A ’55 Chevy in the righthands could go hundreds ofthousands of miles,” hesays.

But that isn’t much com-fort to some passengers.After all, if the Chevybreaks down, you simplypull off to the side of theroad.

Wildfire burns more than 61,000 acres in TexasASPERMONT, Texas (AP)

— A massive wildfire thathas burned more than61,000 acres in West Texasremains out of control.

Alan Craft of the TexasForest Service said Saturdaythe fire was “0 percent con-tained” and he expected it tocontinue spreading with dry,

windy conditions in thearea.

About 100 members ofthe Texas Forest Servicehave been fighting fire byland and air, with help fromlocal volunteer fire depart-ments.

Two unoccupied homeshave been burned, and some

livestock has been killed. Sofar, no towns have beenthreatened.

Craft says pipe cuttingsparked the fire on Wednes-day.

Southwest Airlines incident prompts questions about aircraft age

TOKYO (AP) — OnceJapan’s leaky nuclear com-plex stops spewing radia-tion and its reactors cooldown, making the site safeand removing the ruinedequipment is going to be amessy ordeal that couldtake decades and cost hun-dreds of millions of dollars.

Radiation has coveredthe area around theFukushima Dai-ichi plantand blanketed parts of thecomplex, making the job of“decommissioning’’ theplant — rendering it safe soit doesn’t threaten publichealth and the environ-ment — a bigger task thanusual.

Toshiba Corp., whichsupplied four of Fukushi-ma’s six reactors, includingtwo on which General Elec-tric Co. collaborated, sub-mitted a roadmap this pastweek to the plant’s operatorfor decommissioning thecrippled reactors. Thestudy, done with three oth-er companies, projects thatit would take about 10 yearsto remove the fuel rods andthe reactors and containother radioactivity at thesite, said Keisuke Omori ofToshiba.

That timeline is far fasterthan those for other nuclearaccidents and contains abig caveat: The reactorsmust first be stabilized andcooled, goals that haveeluded emergency teamsstruggling with cascadingproblems in the monthsince the devastating

tsunami damaged theircooling systems. Omorisaid the extent of damage tothe reactors and otherproblems still need to beassessed.

“Of course decommis-sioning the four reactorswould be more challengingthan retiring one from anordinary operation. We stillhave a lot to examine,’’Omori said. He declined toprovide details on the costsand the timeframe, citingbusiness confidentiality.

Getting a quick resolu-tion to the Fukushima crisiswould give a boost to a na-tion trying to recover fromthe severe disasters and tothe tens of thousandsforced to evacuate commu-nities near the plant and al-ready wearying of living inshelters with no prospectsof returning home.

“It could take decades.We will all have to moveaway,’’ said 36-year-old

Officer dies in U.K. sub shootingLONDON (AP) — A

Royal Navy officer incharge of the weapons on anuclear-powered subma-rine was shot dead by a fel-low sailor who opened firewith an assault rifle aboardthe vessel,Britain’s defenseministry said Saturday.

The gunman seriouslywounded a second sailorbefore being tackled by avisiting dignitary and dis-armed.

The ministry named thedead man as Lt. Cmdr. IanMolyneux, 36, the weapons

engineering officer onHMS Astute. It said he diedFriday when he was shot byanother crew member.

The wounded officerwas in stable condition in ahospital Saturday, policesaid.

A junior sailor, identifiedby British media as 22-year-old Ryan Donovan, isbeing held on suspicion ofmurder. Officials say theincident was not related toterrorism, but have not re-vealed a possible motive forthe attack.

Japanese police, wearing suits to protect them from radiation, search for victims Thursday near the

Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear reactors. The task of ‘decommissioning’ the crippled reactors could take decades.

Conclusion of nuke crisisis years away

Hitomi Motouchi, who left ahome on the fringe of theevacuation zone and is livingin a gymnasium in Fukushi-ma city. Unlike the tsunamirefugees who may return torebuilt communities, “it’sdifferent for us, because thisdisaster may never end,’’Motouchi said.

Decommissioning usuallytakes three forms: disman-tling or decontaminatingparts of the reactors so theland can be used; safely seal-ing off and monitoring thenuclear plant while the radi-ation inside decays; and en-tombing radioactive parts inconcrete and steel.

Libyan rebels face militarysurge on key front-line city

AJDABIYA, Libya (AP) —Government soldiers andrebel gunmen battled in thestreets of a key front-linecity Saturday after theLibyan military usedshelling and guerrilla-styletactics to open its most seri-ous push into oppositionterritory since internationalairstrikes began. NATOairstrikes, meanwhile, ham-mered at Gadhafi’s ammu-nition stockpiles and ar-mored forces, destroying 17tanks.

At least eight peoplewere killed in the fightingover Ajdabiya, a hospital

official said.Recapturing the city

would give the Libyan mili-tary a staging ground to at-tack the rebels’ mainstronghold, Benghazi, about100 miles farther east alongthe coastal highway. Moam-mar Gadhafi’s forces wereapproaching Benghazi whenthey were driven back by theinternational air campaignlaunched last month to pro-tect civilians and groundGadhafi’s aircraft.

For the rebels, losing thecity would effectively bottlethem into a coastal strip ofeastern Libya.

Ashton single caps CSI baseball rallyBy David BashoreTimes-News writer

For the first five innings ofSaturday’s doubleheaderopener against EasternUtah, the College of South-ern Idaho baseball teamlooked as it did Friday: out ofsync and out of sorts.Against a pitcher six outsaway from a no-hitter with asix-run lead, CSI also lookedto be out of time.

Out of nowhere some-thing clicked, and it spurredthe hosts to an improbablerally and then some.

CSI broke up ColterMoore’s no-hit bid as part of

a three-run sixth inning. Aninning later, Andre Ashtonpunctuated a remarkablerally with a bases-loaded,pinch-hit single to scoreRyan Cooperstone for thegame-winning run as CSItook a 7-6 win.

The hometown GoldenEagles scored all four of theirseventh-inning runs withtwo outs, courtesy of threesingles, two walks and twohit batters.

“We finally got somethingto go our way. We’d been onthe short end of the stickwith a lot of things,” saidAshton. “About two battersbefore I got up I was told to

get a bat in myhands, so I just gotloose and tried toprepare as if I hadstarted the game andbeen in the wholetime. I just tried tostay with what I doand went to the rightside (of the field)with it.”

Parker Morin, who brokeup the no-hit bid an inningearlier, hit a smash to firstbase that got past the de-fender with two outs in theseventh. Chase Harris thenwalked, and Ben Douglassingled. Parker Webster washit, Ryan Cooperstonewalked, Blake Lively was hitwith two strikes to tie thegame and Ashton won it

with two strikesagainst him.

Webster’s sixth-inning RBI doublekeyed the earlier rallyand changed themomentum of thegame.

That momentumcarried forward into

Game 2, which CSI won 9-2to complete the sweep.

Travis Huber continued toimprove in his transitionfrom closer to starter. Hethrew 6 2-3 innings of three-hit ball, allowing two un-earned runs. Brandon Petitecame on to get the final out.

“I knew I had it early to-day. Everything felt good,”

Playing flat and unin-spired, Canyon Ridge trailedin Game 2 of its doublehead-er with Jerome, so coach LyleHudelson challenged histeam to find a leader.

The motivational plea al-most worked, but Canyon

Ridge’s at-tempt toerase a six-run deficitfell short asthe River-hawks fell 8-7 to theTigers, split-ting the two

games.“That’s what’s tough

about doubleheaders. Wewere on that high after win-ning the first one, but thencame out flat in the secondgame,” said Hudelson of histeam, which won Game 120-16. “You’ve got to havethat same intensity in thesecond game, but unfortu-nately it took us five inningsto get our heads into it.”

Jerome (4-3,1-3 GreatBasin) jumped all overCanyon Ridge, building an8-1 lead through the top ofthe fifth inning on thestrength of 10 hits and fourRiverhawk errors.

“That’s just somethingthat we’ve got to better at asa team,” Hudelson said.“Youcan’t expect them to be per-fect, but you expect them tomake the routine plays andthe great plays will happen.You’ve got to make the rou-tine play and we didn’t.”

BOISE — As Boise Stateenters its final week of prac-tice before Saturday’s springgame, one of the defensiveunits that hasn’t had astarter on the field thus far isthe linebacking corps. Butthe Broncos aren’t too con-cerned.

Despite the graduationloss of nickel back WinstonVenable, who played the hy-brid safety/linebacker slot,seniors Aaron Tevis and By-ron Hout will return to an-chor an experienced group.

“We’ve got a lot of experi-ence and the biggest seniorclass we’ve had here,” saidTevis, who has been battlinga foot injury this spring.“We’ve looking to step it upand take the next step to be-ing a dominant defense.”

After the Broncos finishedsecond in the nation in yardsallowed at 254.7 yards pergame and led the country inyards allowed per play at3.98, Tevis still thinks theteam’s defense can raise itscollective game.

“For us to jump to the nextlevel, we need to be focusedin practice and stay deter-mined, making sure thatwe’re working hard and nottaking any days off,” ex-plained Tevis, who was fifthon the team in tackles with46 and had two intercep-tions.

said Huber. “One of the bigthings I’ve had trouble withwas throwing zeroes up (inthe opposing column) afterour guys have scored, so itwas good to be able to go outthere and hold them downafter getting the lead.”

Ben Douglas also starredat the plate, delivering sixhits on the day.

became a dominant playerat the nickel position forthe Broncos, will still be atough loss to stomach forBSU. The first-team All-WAC player was fourth onteam in tackles with 53, had9.5 tackles for losses and 5.5sacks.

The presence of seniorHunter White is somewhatcalming, however. As Ven-able’s backup, White fin-ished seventh on the teamin tackles with 38 and aninterception.

BSU coaches are alsoholding out hope that in-coming junior collegetransfer Dextrell Simmons,who is already practicing

with the team, might be thenext Venable.

“We lost some veteranplayers, but a lot of the guyswho are filling their spotsare guys I trust and ourcoaches trust to get the jobdone like the guys there be-fore them,” said Hout, whofinished ninth in the teamin tackles despite missingthe final four games of theseason with a broken foot.

One of those other play-ers that the BSU playersand coaches alike trust isJ.C. Percy. In a backup rolelast season, Percy finishedsecond on the team in tack-les with 65, adding fourtackles for losses. He’s like-ly to see plenty of action

again this fall and is push-ing Hout and Tevis hard.

However, with all thesenior experience returningfor Boise State, expecta-tions will once again behigh — maybe just as highas those of Hout.

“There’s an expectationof success to follow afterthe past three years of win-ning we’ve had aroundhere,” Hout said. “I thinksuccess for us would be totry to win every game andwin a championship andfollow the previous threeyears.”

If Boise State’s defense isas good in 2011 as it was lastseason, those might not belofty expectations after all.

four innings, allowing onlyone hit, but after Hudel-son’s plea for a leader to stepforward, the Canyon Ridgebats finally came alive.

Karly Hudelson hit an RBIsingle in the fifth while Em-ma Stevens hit a solo home-run and Kylee Barker addedan RBI single in the sixth.

Kylee Kuest and LaurenShotwell each drove in runsin the seventh, but Barkergrounded out with two run-ners on to end the game,ending the rally.

“Fortunately we wereable to finish the game to-day,” Argyle said. “I was just

really trying to focus on get-ting the ball over the plateputting the ball in play andgiving our defense thechance to end the game. It’sa great win for us.”

In Game 1, Canyon Ridge(7-2, 3-1) took a 20-12 leadinto the seventh inning asStevens and Shotwell bothhomered,but Jerome threat-ened to come back with a ral-ly in the seventh. Argyle hitan RBI double and CrystalLuna jacked a two-runhomer to cut the River-hawks’lead to four,but that’sas close as they would get.

The Riverhawks return tothe field Tuesday as

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Itwas a roar that defines theMasters, so loud it startledeven Tiger Woods.

Rory McIlroy, who alreadydazzled the crowd with ashot through the pines to theback of the 17th green, raisedthe putter in his left hand asthe birdie putt turned to-ward the hole, then slammedhis right fist when the balldisappeared into the cup.

The cheer was so clam-orous that Woods, who hadsettled over his shot in the18th fairway, had to backaway. After all these years ofcrushing the hopes of somany others, the four-timeMasters champ finally feltwhat it was like on the otherend.

That moment — and rightnow, this Masters — belongsto McIlroy.

“I had been waiting on aputt to drop all day,” McIlroysaid Saturday. “And for it todrop there, it was great tim-ing.”

It sent the 21-year-oldfrom Northern Ireland to a2-under 70 and gave him afour-shot lead going intoSunday, the largest 54-holelead at the Masters since a

21-year-old Woods led bynine in 1997.

Woods is not close to himafter a 74 to finish sevenshots behind. Chasing afterMcIlroy are former Masterschampion Angel Cabrera,Charl Schwartzel, K.J. Choiand Jason Day.

“It’s a great position to bein,” McIlroy said. “I feelcomfortable with my game,comfortable with the way Iprepared, and all of a suddenI’m finally feeling comfort-able on this golf course. Witha combination like that,you’re going to feel prettygood.”

He is making it look easy.That bounce in his step

turned into a swagger as hewalked to the 18th tee,ripped another drive andwalked toward the green to aloud ovation — perhaps apreview to a coronation.

Following him around Au-gusta National was U.S.Open champion GraemeMcDowell, who missed thecut but didn’t want to missout on his countryman hav-ing a chance to give Europeanother major.

“He just texted me andtold me he loves me,” McIl-

roy said. “I don’t know ifthat’s him or the beer talk-ing. No, it’s great to see himout there and I appreciate hissupport. He’s going to knowhow I’m feeling. Here’s amajor champion and he gotit done last year at Pebble.Hopefully, I can emulate thatfeeling and get a major my-self.”

McIlroy was at 12-under204 and will play in the finalgroup Sunday with Cabrera,who won the Masters twoyears ago and is the only ma-jor champion within sixshots of McIlroy.

Cabrera has fallen to No.97 in the world, with onlytwo top 10s in the last year.He didn’t think he had muchof a chance when he arrivedat Augusta. But he’s startingto believe after a 67.

“Now that I see that I’mplaying well, I sure think Ican do it,” Cabrera said.

The group at 8-under 208also includes Schwartzel(68), Choi (71) and Day, the23-year-old Australian whotook the lead on the frontnine with a long birdie onNo. 5, but paid for his ag-gressive putting and had tosettle for a 72.

McIlroy leads Masters, staying cool on hot day

Kenseth ends 76-racedrought with Texas win

FORT WORTH, Texas(AP) — Matt Kenseth had adominating run at Texas,breaking a 76-raceNASCAR Sprint Cup win-less streak Saturday night.

Kenseth led 169 of 334laps at the 1½-mile, high-banked track for his 19thcareer victory, his firstsince California in Febru-ary 2009. Since his otherwin at Texas in 2002,Kenseth had four runner-up finishes, including lastfall behind Denny Hamlin,and six other top-10 fin-ishes at the track.

This time, the No. 17Roush Fenway Ford wasonly trailing late behindTony Stewart and KurtBusch when both of thosedrivers were out of se-quence on stops and tryingto stretch fuel in hopes ofcatching a caution. Luckyfor Kenseth, there were noyellow flags at the wrongtime.

Kenseth went backahead to stay with 13 laps togo when Busch had to makehis final stop and give up a8.2-second lead. Kensethfinished 8.315 secondsahead of Clint Bowyer.

“Over two years, I didn’tknow if I’d get a chance toget here again,” Kensethsaid in Victory Lane.

It was a weekend sweepat Texas Motor Speedwayfor car owner Jack Roushafter Carl Edwards won theNationwide race Friday

night. Roush has 16NASCAR wins in Texas —eight in Cup, seven in Na-tionwide and one inTrucks.

All four of Roush’s driv-ers finished in the top sev-en. Edwards finished third,17 seconds back, with GregBiffle fourth and polesitterDavid Ragan seventh.

Edwards took over theseason points lead by nineover Kyle Busch, who fin-ished 16th.

Stewart had gone 58 lapssince his last stop with 58laps to go, and had nearly a17-second lead overKenseth and more than 19seconds over Bowyer whenhe made his stop.

Any chance for a victoryended when Stewart gotpenalized for speeding onpit road. He finished 12th,the last driver on the leadlap even though he coastedacross the finish line afterrunning out of fuel.

Kurt Busch finished10th.

While Kenseth had ledonly five laps in the first sixraces this season, he got toTexas coming off threeconsecutive finishes in thetop six and had been in thetop 12 for every race sincean accident in the season-opening Daytona 500 led toa 34th-place finish.

Kenseth became the ca-reer laps leader at Texas,pushing his total to 669laps in 18 starts.

Sunday Crossword AnswersDEAR ABBY: I am cur-rently deployed inAfghanistan. My bestfriend’s little sister,“Brittany,” has had a crushon me for years. She hasbeen straightforward aboutwhat she wants — marriage,kids, white picket fence, etc.She has always been like alittle sister, so it has beenawkward. I thought it wasweird for a 15-year-old (atthe time) to say that to anolder soldier on R&R.

During my deploymentBrittany has sent me carepackages loaded with cook-ies. Maybe I should havekept my mouth shut aboutmy weakness for home-made cookies, but hindsightis 20/20. Brittany has nowcalled in the bribe by invit-ing me to her senior prom.Not wanting to mess withthe steady supply of bakedgoods, I said yes. I figure it’san appropriate way to saythanks for the cookies.

I intend to make sureBrittany enjoys her promwith her medal-coveredarm candy, but I need to lether know that while I’mflattered she thinks so high-ly of me, I’m not interestedin dating her. I love her like asister. I don’t want to breakher heart.

Any suggestions for a guywho’s about as subtle as atank rolling down a cobble-stone road on a Sunday?

MEDAL-COVERED EYE CANDY

DEAR EYE CANDY: Howlong has it been since you’veseen Brittany? When youreturn for that prom, shewill no longer be that preco-cious 15-year-old youremember. By all meansshow her a nice evening. Butdon’t say anything youmight regret or you mayhave to eat your wordsinstead of those cookies. Ifyou’re not romanticallyinterested, you’ll date otherwomen and Brittany willcatch on soon enough. Andyou may find that after herglamorous evening with hermedal-covered war hero,she sets her sights on some-one other than you.Stranger things have hap-pened.

EAR ABBY: Spring ishere, and with it comes thewedding season. Would youplease inform your readersabout the importance ofanswering wedding RSVPs?A lot of people appear toneed reminding about theneed to respond. Thanks!

MOTHER OF A BRIDE AAND GROOM

DEAR MOTHER: I’mglad to oblige — and con-gratulations on the doubleblessing that’s coming yourway in gaining both adaughter and a son!

Readers: When a formalinvitation is received, youshould immediately returnthe RSVP card that’senclosed with it. RSVP is theabbreviation for the Frenchphrase “Repondez s’il vousplait,” which means “Pleasereply.” It’s important for thepeople planning the affair toknow how many guests willattend so they can be prop-erly provided for — for obvi-ous reasons. So please bepolite and don’t keep themwondering.

EAR ABBY: I’m in lovewith a woman named“Camille” who has threechildren from three differ-ent fathers. She has neverbeen married. She also has amale “friend” whom shehas her children calling“Daddy” even though he’snot. I have loved Camille for20 years, and our pathsrecently crossed again.When I first meet her, shehad only one child.

Camille says she loves meand wants us to be married,but I’m having a hard timeaccepting that all of thesechildren’s fathers will bepart of our life — as well asthe “friend.” Can a psychol-ogist help me get past this?

“65 YEARS OF TREATING YOU, THE CUSTOMER, RIGHT”

By Emily KatseanesTimes-News correspondent

For the smiling actors andactresses on eHarmony com-mercials, online dating seemsabout as simple as breathing.But for members of TheChurch of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter-day Saints in Twin Falls,clicking through potentialspouses can be a bit morefraught.

In addition to the main-stream dating sites such asMatch.com or eHarmony —populated with profiles by thereligious and atheist alike —some sites cater solely toMormons. Spots such asLDSsingles.com and LDS-Promise look to link togetherpeople of similar faith.

But the sites are not havingan easy time making inroadsin the Magic Valley.

Joe Lyman, a bishop whooversees two singles wards inTwin Falls, said church lead-ers often discourage onlinedating because of the “Russ-ian roulette”of unknowns.

“There’s too many surpris-es,” he said. “That’s why thechurch has singles wards sokids get a chance to meet eachother.”

Singles wards and church-sponsored singles events re-main popular ways to meetand match up for local Mor-mons. Twenty-four-year-oldBrendan Mingo of Twin Fallssaid that since October hissingles ward has produced sixmarriages. People meetthrough friends or school,too,Mingo said, but the wardstarts a lot of connections.

Robert Perryman of Jeromealso went with tradition whenhe met his girlfriend at achurch-sponsored NewYear’s Eve dance.

“I was bored and ended upgoing,” he said. “And it endedreally well for me.”

The LDS church doesn’trun or sanction a dating web-site itself. LDSsingles.com ispart of Spark Networks,which includes Spark.com

and other niche dating sitessuch as JDate and Christian-mingle.com. LDSmingle.comis also part of the Spark group.On a smaller scale, LDS-Promise is not affiliated withother dating sites.

Those sites are fishing in amarriage-minded pond, butin Magic Valley not many fishare biting.

One reason local Mormonsaren’t rushing to online dat-ing: Success stories seem to beas much rumor as reality.

Have Mormons married

people they met on LDS-tar-geted dating sites? HomerJaynes heard his mother tellsomeone an old classmate haddone it. Tysa Fedrico had anold roommate in Wyomingwho’d flirted with the idea.Hayley Howard had a profes-sor who used it to meet hiswife.

But if finding a spouse on-line is spotting a mythicalbeast, then 42-year-old LisaMcInnes of Twin Falls shouldhave fairy wings.

After getting out of an abu-

sive first marriage in Phoenix,McInnes said, dating withinher familiar ward wasn’t agood fit.

“Did these now divorcedmen from my Stake, Ward, ornearby Stake think that girlsdon’t share information?”shewrote in an email to theTimes-News. “I decidedlydidn’t want someone else’sold husband that used to be aWard friend. It felt toocreepy.”

Though online dating wastoo daunting for a year afterher brother first mentioned it,eventually the potential pay-off was enough to make therisk worth it.

“You know, deep down inyour mind, ‘I don’t want to bealone,’”she said.

McInnes said she armedherself with a set of guidelinesfor the man she was lookingfor: young enough that shecould relate to his music, pre-viously married like herselfand the father of kids — if any— around the same age as herown. Within two days, shewas messaging someone whosounded compatible. Theytalked online for severalmonths before meeting inperson in a city neither ofthem lived in.

“So we met in San Diegowhere my older sister livedand there is much to do for funand adventurous dating op-tions,” she said via email. “Itwas a good choice. We hadfun. The pressure was off toperform for friends and do theshow thing. For four days andthree nights we had fun.”

Her fairy tale didn’t endwith meeting someone com-patible online. McInnesmarried her cyberdate, aMagic Valley agriculturalconsultant and club soccercoach.

Yet for every McInnes in theMagic Valley, there’s a Mor-mon whose online adventuresended less romantically.JennyCappo, 31, had several friends

The artist also has manyclients in Japan, for whomshe has painted pet por-traits in her cheerful mod-ern style.“All these dogsI’ve painted, they’re inJapan. The people were OK,but what about the ani-mals?” Sarich said from her

Hawaii home. As the newscoverage continued, shelearned that nonprofit or-ganization World Vets hadarrived to help within a fewdays, so she went to itswebsite to donate.

“I thought,if I can dosomething toturn my fewhundred dol-lars into a fewthousanddollars,that’d makea bit moreimpact,”

Sarich said. Immediately,she thought of Bo Obama,the First Dog, and how shecould put her pet-portrai-ture to work.

After getting permissionfrom the White House towork off the official portraitof Bo, Sarich transformed itinto her signature style, and

Magic Valley Mormons bypass LDS dating sites in favor of traditional singles scene

LOVE CONNECTION

Sariah Miller of Twin Falls and Robert Perryman of Jerome met at an Latter-day Saints singles group and have been dating since January. The

two laugh Monday night during a singles meeting in Twin Falls — still a more popular way for Magic Valley Mormons to find dates than the many

websites catering to them.

she found volunteers to do-nate the printing and pack-aging costs to make note-cards from the image toraise money for World Vets’efforts.

Less than a week afterannouncing the cards’availability on March 31,Sarich said they already hadraised more than $1,000.She’s readying to print an-other run because of theirpopularity.

The portrait of Bo Obamawas created, Sarich said,like any other pet portraitshe has done — until she gotto the decoration.

“When I paint a dog, I’mreally focused on trying totell that dog’s story, butwhen I painted the lei onhim, it was definitely withthe thought that it wouldbecome an image of good-will toward Japan,” she said.“Bo Obama is … the softer,kind side of our govern-ment. I put him with a leibecause of the Obamas’connection to Hawaii, andalso because it’s a symbol ofpeace.”

That kind of thoughtful-ness is consistent with herother work, said twowomen who commissionedpaintings of their dogs aftermeeting Sarich and seeing

her work at an art show inSun Valley.

“She’s a total delight towork with because shecares so deeply,” said Deb-bie Scollard, who lived inTwin Falls until her recentmove to South Dakota. “Sheis an extremely gifted artist,and we’re very lucky she’schosen to do portraits ofdogs. She has that gift forjust looking at your bestfriend and bringing forth …You say ‘Wow, that’s exactlywhat I had in mind.’”

Lisa Collins of Jeromesaid her taste in art is usual-ly more traditional thanSarich’s modern lines andbright colors, but she wasimmediately drawn to theartist’s ability to representmore than a moment intime in the portraits.

“What really impressedme was that she caught theexpressions the dogs had sowell. They’re fun andthey’re different; I get a lotof comments on the pic-tures (when friends visit),”Collins said.

Veterinarian Cathy King,CEO of North Dakota-based World Vets, said sheis grateful for Sarich’s help.

“It’s absolutely wonder-ful that she has decided todo this to raise money onbehalf of helping the ani-

mals in Japan, to use herartistic skills,” King said.She said all money donatedthrough Sarich’s card saleswill go to the nonprofit’s ef-forts in Japan.

“Financial contributionsare most helpful at thispoint. …We’re not lookingfor donations of products,because the import restric-tions are very specific,” shesaid, describing the palletsof pet food, crates, collars,medications and othercritical materials thatWorld Vets is flying to thestricken nation. “It’s pri-marily for animals that arein the shelters now, whohave been rescued or be-long to people who havehad to evacuate the coun-try.”

King said she expectsWorld Vets will remain in

Japan to assist for at least ayear.

Although the scope ofdisasters like that in Japancan be overwhelming,Sarich said she hopes her BoObama notecards will re-mind those who send themand receive them of the im-portance of pets in our lives,in times of turmoil as wellas peace.

“I try to understand whythey are so important to us,what they mean to us.Sometimes it can bring outthe best in people,” she said.“Most of the time it’s such apositive experience, and Itry to capture that momentwhere we’re just thinkingabout happiness.”

STORK REPORT

Fast-food chainsfeed kids endlessbuffet of adsThe Washington Post

Do kids deserve a breaktoday?

A study of fast-food mar-keting to children wouldsuggest they should get arest from the relentless ad-vertising. It found that inthe over-saturated Ameri-can media environment,children and teens find adsfrom fast-food restaurantsjust about everywhere theyspend time, including onradio and television, cell-phones, websites, Twitterand Facebook.

The report, which wasprepared by researchers atYale University’s Rudd Cen-ter for Food Policy and Obe-sity and supported by theRobert Wood JohnsonFoundation and the RuddFoundation, also noted thatminority children are oftenexposed to more televisionads.

Among the report’s sta-

tistics, all dating from2009:

•• TThhee 2200 largest fast-foodrestaurant chains spent $3.8billion on advertising, thebulk of it on television ads.

•• OOnn aavveerraaggee, childrenand teens saw more than1,000 ads for fast-foodrestaurants on TV.

•• CCoommppaarreedd wwiitthh theirwhite peers, black childrenwere exposed to 56 percentmore fast-food ads on TV;black teens, 46 percentmore. In each case, much ofthat difference was attrib-uted by the researchers tomore television viewing byAfrican Americans.

•• TThhee ffaasstt ffooooddss thatblack children see in adseach day total more than3,000 calories.

•• IInn aaddddiittiioonn to ads run onEnglish-language channels,Hispanic children and teensgot about one fast-food adevery day on Spanish-lan-guage TV.

who used online dating fre-quently, but the number ofrelationships resulting fromthe clicking remains low.

“I have a friend here andthere who’ve used it withouttoo much luck,” she said.“I’ve had a friend who woulddo that all the time and sheended up meeting a guy inher ward.”

Like Cappo’s friends, An-thony Stevens ditched on-line dating for the belief thatthe old black magic thatFrank Sinatra sang aboutworks best the old-fash-ioned way. Though he hassigned on to dating websitesbefore and met people heenjoyed chatting with,it wastoo hard to get a feel for com-patibility without a big,ded-icated effort.

“I’ve played around withthem, but more goofing offthan anything else,” he said.“I think LDS-geared sites arereally good to help peopleconnect if you do actuallywant to put the effort in tomeet someone online.”

Cappo said she hasn’tdone it yet, but with a fullschedule of work, churchand family — and as sugges-tions for singles sites keepcoming in — setting up aprofile might not be far away.

“I tell friends: someday,when I’m in the right mood,”she said. “I have to be in theright mood.”

When your teen loves to talk, just not to youBy Heidi StevensChicago Tribune

You try to get your teen to open up abouther day, but you’re always met with an eyeroll and a “Whatever.’’ Should you stopbothering?

Parent adviceWe forget sometimes that we’ve already

had some time to decompress during ourcommute or on our way to get them, andthey’re coming into the car or the housefrom what might have been a really stress-ful situation. Talking when your teen is in agood mood and receptive can be helpful.Try setting up a routine that includessome sort of structured activity like fixingdinner or checking Facebook pages to-gether. My daughter and I open our com-puters together and look at our e-mail andFB pages at the end of the day. We shareinfo about family and friends and funnystories or YouTube videos.

— Sue SchaferNever stop bothering. She won’t tell you,

but knowing you’re interested and con-cerned enables her to be secure enough toroll her eyes. One day, she will open up be-cause she needs you, and you need to still bethere.

— Marie Grass Amenta

Expert adviceKids start clamming up as early as pre-

school, so parents of teens are no strangersto the various tricks of the trade: Givethem time to decompress after school,make sure they’re fed, ask about specificevents (rather than the doomed-to-fail“How was your day?”).

But sometimes even those aren’t enoughto penetrate the teenage wall of silence,which is why Jennifer Powell-Lunder, co-author of “Teenage as a Second Language:A Parent’s Guide to Becoming Bilingual’’(Adams Media, $14.95), suggests imple-

menting a feeling and action scale.“You ask, ‘How was your day on a scale

of 1 to 5?’ You want to know your kidsaren’t in duress, but you don’t always needevery detail. This becomes a languageeverybody understands.’’

Here’s how it works.•• SSeett uupp the feeling scale ranging from 1

to 5, with an emotion attached to eachnumber. A “1’’ might mean “all is well,’’while a “5’’ might mean “crisis.’’

•• SSeett uupp an action scale for dealing withthe feelings, so if “1’’ means “all is well,’’ italso means “no action needed.’’ If “5”means “crisis,’’ it also means “I need yourhelp.’’

•• DDoonn’’tt ffoorrggeett to define the emotionsand actions for the numbers in between —“3’’ might mean, for example, “I’m so-so.I need some time alone.’’

•• TTrryy ttoo get every family member toadopt the scale, parents included. As Pow-ell-Lunder notes: “Because your teens areprone to egocentric thinking, when theyperceive that you are not in a good mood,they often assume that they have donesomething to make you feel this way. If youcan quickly clarify your emotional state toyour teens, it can prevent them from feel-ing stress and concern.’’ (“Hi, honey. I’m a‘4’ right now because of a situation atwork, so I just need a minute to relax,’’ forexample.)

The numbers, of course, aren’t meant tobe the end of the conversation, but they’rea good way to get everyone on the samepage before a larger discussion can begin.

It is hoped the “whatevers’’ will slowlybe displaced by more constructive an-swers. In the meantime, it’s important tostay cool in the face of what can under-standably be perceived as ill-manneredbehavior on the part of your teen.

“We’re not saying it’s acceptable to be-have disrespectfully,’’ says Powell-Lunder.“But you’re modeling behavior to themwhen you react, so it helps to be calm, cooland collected.’’

Children who act starved forattention have received too muchQQ My 5-year-old daugh-

ter relies on me far toomuch. All through the day,she asks me to do simplethings for her like get her aglass of water or help herput on her shoes — thingsshe is able to do for herself.If I don’t cooperate, she be-gins to whine, then cry. It’sdriving me crazy.

Another thing she wantsis for me to watch her play.She just can’t seem to bealone or entertain herself. Atbed, for example, she wantsme to lie down with her un-til she falls asleep. It neverends. A counselor informal-ly suggested that she’s des-perate for my attention be-cause the new baby is takingup a lot of my time, but thiswas going on before he wasborn. Can you help me get alife for myself again?

AA What the counselortold you is hogwash. As

you said, this problem wasgoing on before the new ba-by came on the scene. Evenif that was the problem, thesolution is not to give yourdaughter more attention,

wearing yourself to the nubin the process; the solutionis to insist that she acceptthat she is not and will neverbe deserving of being thecenter of anyone’s atten-tion.

Contrary to the prevailingmyth, children who act“starved’’ for attention havereceived too much, not toolittle. They’ve come to de-pend on being the center ofattention, and the more theLook-at-Me Beast is fed,the bigger it gets and themore demanding it be-comes. Children who don’tget enough attention usual-ly withdraw into their ownlittle windowless worlds.

Like most mothers, youobviously feel that if youmake a decision that upsetsyour child, it must havebeen a bad one. The fact ischildren don’t know what

they truly need. They onlyknow what they want, andthey believe that what theywant they deserve to have,and no one has a right to de-ny them.

That belief defines achild, in fact; therefore, lotsof the children in questionare much older than 21. Ittakes some people a longtime to grow up.

You can help your daugh-ter begin growing up bymaking a list of everythingshe wants you to do for her,including watch her play,fetch her water, put on hergolden slippers (as you kneelin front of her), lie downwith her, and so on. Takeyour time. Just put a sheet ofpaper on the kitchen count-er and whenever she asksyou to do something (un-necessary) for her, write itdown. After a week, youshould have a list of at least30 items.

Post the list on the refrig-erator. Bring her to the listand read it to her. Tell herthat you spoke to a doctorwho told you that she’s

much too old to be askingher mother to do thesethings for her. The doctorsaid that every week, shehas to cross off two items onthe list. Her choice. You nolonger do the items shecrosses off. The doctor saidso. Call it the “I’m-Grow-ing-Up List.’’ Tell her,“Thisis how children grow up.They begin doing things forthemselves!’’

If, after she crosses off anitem, she asks you to do itfor her, just take her to thelist and say,“I can’t do thatfor you anymore. Youcrossed it off because you’regrowing up!’’ After a fewweeks, you’ll probably no-tice that she begins doingeven things she hasn’t yetcrossed off. You’ll also no-tice that she’s proud of hernew accomplishments.

What fun growing up canbe! How liberating for bothparent and child!

CCHHIILLDDRREENN

By Samantha CritchellAssociated Press writer

NEW YORK — WhenKate Middleton walksdown the aisle later thismonth to marry PrinceWilliam, the would-bebrides watching out therewill almost certainly homein on her dress.

Bridal industry insidersexpect her gown to becopied many times over assoon as the public gets itsfirst glimpse.

Some wedding dressesleave a legacy beyond thenext-day knockoffs:Princess Diana’s grandgown, Grace Kelly’s glam-orous one, Carolyn Bes-sette Kennedy’s simpletank — and especiallyQueen Victoria’s white ballgown — changed the waybrides dressed for years tocome.

Middleton’s is likely tofall into that category.

“Kate’s dress will be animportant dress, one thatwill be talked about for therest of time,’’ says MillieMartini Bratten, editor-in-chief of Brides magazine.

Diana’s dress helped de-fine the grandeur of fashionin the early 1980s, MartiniBratten says, but Middle-ton’s might be even moreinfluential because womenrelate to her as a 29-year-old with a developed senseof style, compared with the19-year-old Diana, whosegown likely was chosen bycommittee.

Also, pictures of Middle-ton’s gown will immediate-ly be posted online for dis-cussion and critique, notesDarcy Miller, editor in chiefof Martha Stewart Wed-dings. “It’s amazing howmuch brides are influencedby what other people wear,especially royals, celebri-ties, presidents’ daughters.Before Chelsea Clinton’swedding was over, everybride saw that Vera Wangdress and wanted someversion of it,’’ Miller says.

Celebrity red-carpetlooks are adapted for theaisle, says Marchesa co-founder and designerGeorgina Chapman, butmany women have beenthinking about their fanta-sy gowns for a long timeand don’t turn on a dime.“Wedding gowns are unlikeany other dresses,’’ shesays, because brides’ deci-sions “are often less trend-driven, and more personal-ly focused on how theywant to look and feel ontheir wedding day.’’

Still, a princess holdsparticular sway because ofthe fairy-tale aspect ofweddings.

“A royal element makes itmore dreamlike, and awedding day is your time tolook like a princess,’’ saysKimberly Lee Minor, chieffashion strategist of thebridal label Priscilla ofBoston, which made gownsfor the daughters of Presi-dents Johnson and Nixon.

Some famous brides whoset fashion trends:

Queen VViiccttoorriiaa.. This wasthe game-changer — quitethe feat in 1840. Until then,white hadn’t been the colorof wedding dresses, ex-plains Miller. Women woretheir best dress, no matterthe hue.

White was sometimesseen as a sign of affluencebecause it meant you couldafford to get the dress dirty,but brides didn’t run outand get one just for this oc-casion until Victoria.

Jacqueline KKeennnneeddyy..Kennedy “was a majorfashion influence her wholelife,’’ so Ann Lowe’s dra-matic portrait-neck gownwith an exaggerated hour-glass shape, and pleatingdetails fashioned into flow-ers and a tiered hemline,suited her, says Miller. Thebit of skin showing at theneckline also fit the imageof the socialite marrying adashing young senator,ushering in a new guard.

But the dress might havebeen “too couture’’ and notprincess-y enough for themasses, making it less in-fluential at the time, Marti-ni Bratten says, althoughshe sees hints of this dresson the runways now.

Grace KKeellllyy.. Kelly’sgown, made by costumerHelen Rose and the

wardrobe department ofMGM, was “truly designedby Hollywood,’’ says Marti-ni Bratten.

There was a high neck-line, a cinched waist and abig ballskirt — all befittinga new royal. But the collar,sleeves and overlay werelace, so there was still aglimpse at the more reveal-ing sweetheart bodice,more in line with what onewould expect from a moviestar.

“The silhouette was soclassic and beautiful,’’ ob-serves Marchesa’s Chap-man. “It’s just as breath-taking today as it was over50 years ago. “

The illusion lace trick al-so was featured on Eliza-beth Taylor’s wedding

gown in the 1950 film “Fa-ther of the Bride.’’ Rose alsodesigned that.

Tricia NNiixxoonn.. Her WhiteHouse wedding in 1971 —and the Priscilla Kiddergown she chose — becamethe fantasy of youngwomen across America,says vintage fashion expertShareen Mitchell, whoseTV series “Dresscue Me’’launches on Planet Greenlater this month.

It’s not necessarily whatwas expected of a presi-dent’s daughter. There waslittle pomp and circum-stance to the sleeveless, V-neck gown, which was cov-ered in lace but still showeda slim-cut line underneath.“She wore what everywoman wanted to wear,’’

says Mitchell, who stillfields requests for this styletoday.

Bianca JJaaggggeerr.. Neither aprincess, presidential rela-tive nor movie star, Jaggercreated a sensation as afashion rebel when shemarried Mick Jagger in aSavile Row-made pantsuit,also in 1971. She represent-ed the other end of thespectrum from Nixon: Jag-ger was a cool jet-setter,not a princess bride.

“If you were into the ’70sand hippies, fashion peoplelooked less at what every-one else was doing andmade it about trying some-thing new,’’ says Mitchell.

Some brides still like tomake that statement, saysMartha Stewart’s Miller,

calling out a sleek suit onthe spring Douglas Han-nant runway, worn withouta shirt a la Jagger.

Princess DDiiaannaa.. Aprincess couldn’t wear theprairie, bohemian bridallooks that closed out the’70s, and Diana’s 1981gown by Elizabeth Emanuelhelped usher in an era ofopulence and formality.The shoulders were exag-gerated, the skirt full andthe sleeves pouffy. Thetrain was 25 feet long.

Minor remembers

watching the wedding onTV and thinking, “Thatdress must weigh 100pounds!’’

Carolyn BBeesssseettttee KKeenn--nneeddyy.. The extravagance ofthe mid-’80s largely wentout with the stock-marketcrash in 1987, and weddinggowns started becomingsimpler and chicer.

Bessette Kennedy’s bias-cut Narciso Rodriguezgown in 1996 became thequintessential weddingdress of the era, says Marti-ni Bratten. “It was sexy, un-adorned but beautifullycut. It was modern — and itcame about just the timethe destination weddingwas picking up steam —which it was perfect for,’’she says. “It was the dressworn by the woman whocaptured the heart ofAmerica’s prince, JohnKennedy.’’

Priscilla of Boston con-tinues to make gowns inthis sophisticated spirit —and they continue to bebest-sellers. They aren’t adirect copy of the dress,says Minor, but the ideathat you can be glamorouswithout frills has wide ap-peal.

Ivanka TTrruummpp.. Her 2009wedding wasn’t a globalnews event, but her lacegown by Wang became asensation because itshowed a fresh, feminineway to wear sleeves —which had largely fallen outof favor. Trump’s dress,with its illusion lace neck-line, was inspired by Kel-ly’s, although this had acleaner, more contempo-rary silhouette.

“The way Ivanka Trumppresented herself was,‘Even when you have all themoney in the world, andyou’re glamorous, you canpresent yourself at yourwedding as demure, under-stated, ladylike and beauti-ful,’” says Mitchell. “It wasso refreshing.’’

Michelle OObbaammaa.. Oba-ma’s long-sleeve, portrait-collar wedding dress wasone of her few fashion deci-sions that didn’t move theneedle. That was back in1992, though.

Her one-shoulder, whiteinaugural gown by JasonWu, however, turned into abona fide bridal-gown sen-sation, says Miller. It cameat the right time, as design-ers continued to move awayfrom all strapless all thetime, Miller observes, andObama wore it with thehappy, confident attitudethat brides strive for.

Chelsea CClliinnttoonn.. No one,including Clinton and de-signer Wang, expected themedia circus that accom-panied last year’s wedding,says Miller, but all thosephotos and attention meantthat a lot of gowns comingout now were inspired bythe delicate strapless with ajeweled waistband. “It wascopied in the industry im-mediately. It’s the classic,romantic, fairy-tale dresson a modern woman,’’ saysMiller.

Clinton might not nor-mally be considered a styleinfluence, but in that dress,she became a trendsetter,agrees Minor.

By Hillary SpeedFor The Associated Press

The only part of a wed-ding cake that doesn’t geteaten, preserved in thefreezer, or smudged acrossa bride or groom’s face isthe cake topper. Why notmake it something worthsaving?

From wooden figurinesto monogrammed eggs in anest to teacups fromGrandma’s china cabinet,cake toppers at weddingshave become more person-alized.

Increasingly, couples areworking with artists to de-sign the perfect cake top-per, unique to them.

“The cake topper is oneof the few things that willbe part of the wedding thatthe couple will take homeafterward and maybe dis-play in their house,’’ saidPortland, Ore.-based artistHilary Pfeifer, who designscustomized cake toppers.

“It’s not just a plastictopper that they use forthat day; it becomes anicon in their house after-ward,’’ she said.

Pfeifer sells her cake top-pers out of her online shop,Bunny with a Toolbelt(www.bunnywithatool-belt.com). The figurines aremade of reclaimed woodand painted with acrylic.They are typically animals,and often are customized tofit a couple’s taste and in-terest.

Pfeifer’s creations haverun the gamut from color-ful elephants for a circus-themed wedding, to a pairof robots with a robot dog,to a duck bride and groomwearing Converse sneakers.

She has made cake-top-per alligators, deer, squir-rels, giraffes, flamingos,turtles, penguins, mon-sters, space monkeys, fly-ing pigs and more. Oftenthey are turned into sportsmascots.

“Having customers bringyou ideas is great,’’ Pfeifersaid. “It takes me places Iwouldn’t have gone on myown.’’

Another artist who hasworked with brides andgrooms to customize caketoppers is Heather Ward-Migner, based in Asheville,N.C. Through her onlinestore, Star House(www.urastarhouse.com),Ward-Migner sells a vari-ety of figurines made of lo-cal poplar wood that arethen cut, burned andpainted with watercolors tocreate specific images.

Her cake toppers have in-cluded couples on doublebicycles, pairs of love birds,and a bride and groom in ayellow canoe. Typically, herwooden characters arebased on a photograph, andclosely resemble the actualcouple — a far cry from thestandardized cake toppersof yore.

The effort that goes intocreating such a personalmemento contributes to itsultimate staying power.

“I love thinking abouthow 100 years from nowsome bohemian collegestudents might have theirgrandparents’ cake toppersdisplayed in their apart-ment,’’ Ward-Migner said.

The customization ofwedding cake toppers isstill a niche trend, but onethat has been growing, ac-cording to Anja Winikka,senior editor atTheKnot.com.

“Your wedding cake as awhole is such a great way toadd your own personality,and it’s a great way to makea statement at your wed-ding without going over thetop,’’ Winikka said. “Thecake topper falls into that

category as well.’’She has seen various

handcrafted toppers re-cently. Love birds are apopular choice, she said,including options made outof felt, fabric, wood or oth-er materials.

Winikka has also seen thevintage craze enter thewedding-cake-topper are-na. Couples are repurpos-ing their parents’ andgrandparents’ cake toppersas their own.

You can also creativelyuse trinkets from yourgrandparents or tinyteacups from their chinacabinet as your cake topper,she suggested.

In the case of a cake orcupcake tower that isn’tsuited to having a topper,the bridal couple can turnthe entire cake table into asort of display area withmementos or figurines thatadd personality, Winikkasaid.

Where to put the flood of papers from schoolThe Washington Post

Chris Plantan, founderand creative director of theoffice-supplies retailerRussell & Hazel, was theguest on an online Q&A,where she discussed or-ganizing paper and deco-rating. Here is an editedexcerpt.

Q Any suggestions onhow to deal with the

mountain of papers thatcomes home from school inmy elementary school kids’backpacks? Mixed in with allthe graded papers and adsfor fundraisers there is al-ways some important per-mission slip. How do youkeep track of all of this? I feelso overwhelmed and unsureof what to keep.

A I had the same problemduring my children’s

school years. What to dowith the lunch menus, thepermission forms, the cutedrawings and the reportcards. So I used the bindersystem. Each child had abinder for each year. We stillhave them. In the front of thebinder I had all the schoolcontact information, immu-nization records, etc. Then Iused tabbed dividers. Someof the artwork and smallpieces had to be put in pageprotectors, but it seemed towork for us. We had themaccessible for babysittersand grandparents as well. Itis still fun to look back on allof them.

Q My problem is a trunkfull of sentimental pa-

pers I’ve been saving most ofmy life. How in the world canI organize this?

A Don’t despair. There is away to save sentimental

papers until you are ready toeither pass them along orthrow them out. Use a boxbig enough for 11-by-17-inch papers, and either labelthem by year or by personand/or project. You can sep-arate the pieces into cate-gories by slipping sheets oftissue paper between themor by putting them intosleeves. All of these itemscan be found at art supplystores. These boxes can bedisplayed on a bookshelf ortucked away in a closet.

Q I am looking for attrac-tive storage for paper

items in my small rowhouse.

I’ve found nice flat boxes forvital records and kids’ art-work, but what seems to bemissing is larger storage foritems such as health insur-ance explanations of benefits,bank statements, retirementstatements, tax statements —all that stuff that accumulatesmonthly and yearly.

A I would invest in a filecabinet. You can find

traditional styles at officesupply stores or retrofit adresser or other piece of fur-niture. If you only referencethe documents yearly, fileaway. If you need access tothe documents or manualsmore frequently, have it ac-cessible. They can be housedin file folders, binders andletter sorters. Magazine col-lectors are another great for-

mat for containing annualreports and user manuals.These can be stored in book-cases, and you have effec-tively hidden them.

Q I’m a total stationerybuff. What are some

good rules of thumb forsending out files, resumes,or cards with your own nameor initials? I don’t want toseem ostentatious or full ofmyself; I just love personal-ized paper goods!

A I would recommend youconsider the detail of the

monogram and determinewhether it is appropriate forsocial situations or business.Consider “from the desk of’’for business use, or a simplemonogram. For your person-al stationery, go for the gustoand have fun.

Q I’m remodeling myhome and adding a

home office. I’m obsessedwith blogs like the Selby thatshow people’s home offices;the rooms are always so in-teresting. How do I give myown home office that artis-tic, funky look without itseeming cheap or forced?

A What is most interest-ing about the offices

and design spaces that yousee on the Selby is that youcan actually see the personreflected in their office orwork environment. Look forlarge work surfaces that youcan layer with books, foundobjects and your favoritethings. Floor-to-ceilingbookcases are great for stor-age and provide a wonderfulcanvas for self-expression.

Helping girls find a place in(or out of) the sporting arenaBy Heidi StevensChicago Tribune

Your very athleticdaughter says she doesn’twant to play sports whenshe goes to high schoolnext year. Should you en-courage her to reconsider?

Parent adviceFind out why she does-

n’t want to participateanymore. Is she fearful ofthe new and possibly oldercompetitors? Has she al-ready met the high schoolcoach and it did not gowell? The actual reasoncould be something younever anticipated. My sec-ond daughter wanted to bein sports when she wasstarting high school. Shehad always avoided sportsprior to this. When Ithought about it, herchoice was based on thefact that her older sisterwas not involved in sports.I think she saw this couldbe her domain.

— Barb MatarreseAsk her why she doesn’t

want to, and tell her shecan tell you anything andyou will be in her corner. Ifshe tells you there is noth-ing wrong, I would stillkeep my eyes and earsopen and keep her in-formed as to any deadlinescoming up. Let her makeher own decision aboutthis, but don’t let it go. Shemay change her mind andwill be upset if she can’tparticipate for a silly rea-son such as not turning in aform.

— Marie Grass AmentaShe will decide on her

own with the help of herpeers. Don’t make her feelshe has to reconsider. Lether know you trust her de-cision.

— Jean Rubinson

Expert adviceNot so fast, says Hannah

Storm, ESPN sportscaster,mom of three daughtersand co-author of “Go Girl!Raising Healthy, Confi-dent and Successful GirlsThrough Sports’’ (Source-books, $14.99).

“Participation in sportsis absolutely as critical asanything else your daugh-ter can do,’’ says Storm.“Especially during adoles-cence.’’

“This is extremely typi-cal around junior high —the same age girls stop

raising their hands in mathclass and science class be-cause they’re becomingvery conscious of genderidentity and some of thestereotypes that go alongwith it,’’ says Storm. “Theydon’t want to appear mas-culine in any way.’’

Could also be that sportshave stopped being fun,Storm concedes, or thatshe’s worried about jug-gling the increased aca-demic and social pressuresof high school. Neither ofwhich is a valid excuse, inher book.

“The rates of teen preg-nancy, drug use, self-abu-sive behaviors and eatingdisorders are all decreasedby your daughter being in-volved in sports,’’ she says.“Even if you’re not a greatathlete, sports engenders abetter sense of self in termsof body image, working to-gether with others, whatit’s like to fail but still enjoythe process, that it’s OKnot to be perfect. Andthey’re outside gettingsome sunshine instead ofsitting at the computer.’’

As for convincing yourdaughter, Storm offers thefollowing:

• Think beyond teamsports. “Do cheer. Do yoga.Do golf. Do track. There’ssuch a wide variety ofphysical activity you cando.’’

• Remove the perform-ance pressure. “Be on sec-ond string. Be on JV. I don’tcare. Just pick a sport andplay it. Have fun and bewith your friends.’’

• Cheer her on. “It’s re-ally, really critical that yougo to games. Put it on yourschedule as if it’s a busi-ness meeting. There’s noway you can tell your kid, ‘Ireally want you to do this,’and then you don’t evenmake time to watch.’’

• Join her. If her chosenactivity isn’t team-based,consider forming your ownteam. “Sign up for atriathlon or a 5K together.You don’t want to be saying‘Eat your vegetables’ andthen you never eat them.’’

• Don’t waver. “Youwant to keep it positive,but you’ve got to put yourfoot down. Just like youmight make your child takepiano or do communityservice, tell her, ‘Thismight not be somethingyou feel like doing, but Iknow as a parent how goodthis is for you.’”

Say it with a cake topper

That personal touch?

‘The cake topper is one of the few things that will be part of the wedding that the couple will take home afterward and maybe display in their

house,’ said Hilary Pfeifer, who designs customized cake toppers, including this one.

Heather Ward-Migner’s cake toppers have included couples on double

bicycles, pairs of love birds and a bride and groom in a yellow canoe.

Typically, her wooden characters are based on a photograph and

closely resemble the couple.

Moose Hall

By Ellen McCarthyThe Washington Post

Mari Ruti spent twoweeks immersed in 20 re-lationship self-help books.Then she devoted the next10 weeks to writing one ofher own — begging womento toss the dime-store ad-vice and start listening totheir guts when it comes

to love.“The Case for

Falling in Love,’’released in Febru-ary, grew out ofdiscussions thatarose in a courseRuti taught ongender, sexualityand identity atHarvard University.The romantic frustrations

her students re-ported seemed tostem from the waypopular cultureencourages menand women to ap-proach each other— as alien beingsencrypted with asecret code that

needs to be cracked.She is most critical of

books that advise womento stick to cultivate an auraof mystery, helplessness ordisinterest. In the end, sheargues, “if you need to playgames to retain yourboyfriend’s interest, it’sunlikely he’s the right guyfor you.’’

Such tactics, Ruti says,do more harm than goodby making women doubt

themselves and encourag-ing the idea that they needto change to attract a guy.“I wanted to offer an alter-native,’’ says Ruti, now aprofessor at the Universityof Toronto. Her advice?Just be yourself.

Ruti argues that much ofthe trouble for both gen-ders comes from a desireto control the outcome of

romantic interactions. Ourattempts to try to “man-age’’ love, she writes,“make us so cautious — soemotionally wooden andguarded — that they un-dercut our capacity to feeland express love ... themore we try to domesti-cate love, the more anemicour experience of it be-comes.”

Nintendo’s new 3D game planBy Tom HamSpecial to The Washington Post

So Nintendo’s newest game system, the3DS, went on sale recently promising usersa three-dimensional experience withoutthe goofy glasses. But how can it do that?Tom Ham, who reviews video games andvideo game systems for a living, got achance to try out the new hand-held sys-tem and thinks it’s pretty darn cool. Ofcourse at $250, it’s not cheap, so if youwant one, you’d better start saving your al-lowance.

The new system will feel familiar to kidswho already have a Nintendo DS. Thetouch-screen, the A, B, X and Y game but-tons and D-pad are all familiar. New to the3DS is the Circle Pad (located just above theD-pad). The 3DS also has built-in MotionSensor and Gyro Sensor, which means it candetect how you’re holding it. We can’t waitto see how game creators utilize these newcontrol features.

How does the 3DS create a 3-D effect on ahand-held? Without getting too technical,the 3DS uses a special system that createstwo of the same image on the screen at once

— one for the left eye and one for the righteye. This creates a sensation of depth anddistance without the use of special glasses.The only drawback is that you have to be atthe right viewing distance and angle to getthe full effect. If you shift just a little bit,you’ll lose the effect and wind up with ablurry screen. Users can adjust the 3-D set-tings and turn off the 3-D effect if their eyesget tired.

Out of the box, the 3DS is packed with in-novative and fun software. Although the3DS Camera and Mii Maker are both fun, theAR Games were our favorite. AR stands for

“augmented reality.’’ Users view specialcards with the 3DS camera, and virtualgames appear right in front of them. Experi-ences like these set the 3DS apart from otherportable game systems.

Games such as “Combat of Giants: Di-nosaurs 3D,” “Ridge Racer 3D” and “Pi-lotwings Resorts” really show what the sys-tem can do. It’s hard to play these gameswithout moving your hands and head alongwith the game. The 3-D effects will reallychange the way you look at and play thesegames. The system has 18 new titles, and ex-isting DS games can be played on it as well.

The lizard you make won’t grow to be a nuisance like those in Florida.

By Kathy AntoniottiAkron Beacon Journal

Stories of kamikazelizards, once considered anurban legend in south Flori-da, were proven true last yearwhen temperatures droppedso low the green iguanaswent into hibernation andbegan falling from the treesin a death-like trance.

The species, native toCentral and South America,have done well in the warmclimate after irresponsibleowners released them intothe wild when they got toobig or the novelty of owning

one wore off.Now, they are considered a

nuisance to homeownerswho find the prehistoric-looking herbivores eatingtheir gardens and swimmingin their pools.

Although the reptiles,which can live more than 15years and grow to more than6 feet in length, look fear-some, they generally runfrom confrontation. Awakeduring the day, they do notattack people or their pets.But watch out for their tails— they can deliver a stingingwhip when they are pro-voked.

The iguana is not the onlynonnative animal to do well insouthern Florida. Conserva-tionists are concernedBurmese pythons — formerpets and zoo animals thatwere released into EvergladesNational Park — are upsettingthe balance of nature. Thesnakes, with an estimatedpopulation of 150,000, havebeen known to eat Americanalligators and the endangeredKey Largo wood rat.

I was introduced to igua-nas while watching eight ofthem who lived under a docknear our cottage on the coastof Florida Bay. The largest,

the 4-foot patriarch of thefamily, was definitely incharge, insisting the year-lings mind their manners.

I found directions formaking this lizard in the book“Make it Yourself’’ byShooting Star Press.

Supplies you will need• Cardboard paper towel

tube.• White cardstock.• Green and brown acrylic

paint and brush.• Scrap of red construc-

tion paper.• White craft glue.

• Scissors.• Black marker.

What to doPaint the tube in a green

and brown design and setaside.

Cut a strip of cardstock 8inches long and about 2inches wide. Cut a jaggededge along one long edge.

Cut four legs and feet,bending up a half-inch tab atthe top to glue to the bodyand make another benddown at the center.

Paint the strip brown andthe legs a combination green

and brown. Set aside. Drawclaws on the front of thelizard’s feet.

Cut a scrap of red paper 1inch by 3 inches. Cut a trian-gle from one end.

Cut two 3-inch narrowtriangles out of one end ofthe tube to create a mouthand a triangle from the rear tocreate a tail.

Assemble the lizard by glu-ing the tongue to the inside ofthe bottom of the tube infront, the spine to the backand the legs on either side.

Draw eyes on either side ofthe lizard’s head with amarker.

Leapin’ lizards! Is it a dinosaur?

Survey: Havinga dog makeskids more fitThe Washington Post

Attention all kids who are beggingtheir parents to let them have a dog,we have a new line for you to try out onMom and Dad:

Having a Max, Bandit or Lassie inyour house makes kids more active.

A new study from researchers at theUniversity of Virginia found that teensin dog-owning families logged about15 extra minutes of moderate-to-vig-orous activity per week.

The researchers talked to 618 pairsof adolescents and their parents aboutthe number of dogs in the home andhow much time they spent physicallyactive. About half of the teens alsowore accelerometers — devices thatmeasure activity — for one week.

Could it be that kids actually walkthe family dog (after begging theirparents for one and promising theywould walk it)?

Well, no. (This is the part of the sur-vey you may not want to tell your folksabout.)

“Children and adolescents may nothave the primary responsibility ofwalking the dog but may actively playwith the family dog, thus contributingto their overall minutes engaging inphysical activity,’’ the authors wrote.

Other studies show that adults whohave dogs are more physically active.Even if people don’t walk their dogsregularly, just having a dog makes onemore active because of chores such asgetting up to feed the dog, letting himoutside or cleaning up after him, theresearchers said.

Ever wondered why babiesdrool and put everything in theirmouths?

I’m guessing that most of thekids reading this have little broth-ers and sisters or baby cousins. Ifso, this article will explain whydrool stains are all over yourhome and your parents’ clothes.For the rest of you, spend sometime watching babies the nexttime you go to the park so you cansee what you’re missing.

Saliva is an important part ofour digestive system. It moistensfood to make it easier to swallowand begins to digest starches be-fore they get to your stomach.

There are hundreds of tiny sali-vary glands in your mouth thatare designed to keep it moist.These glands are functioning atbirth. But the big boys, the onesthat turn on when you eat orchew, do not mature until a babyis about 3 months of age. (Thelarge salivary glands are called theparotid glands.)

There are two other reasonswhy babies start to drool three

months after birth. First, babiescan finally bring their hands totheir mouths intentionally. (Be-fore this age, their hand move-ments were pretty clumsy.) Sec-ond, babies have developed theability to chew, which stimulatesthe production of saliva.

Alas, the poor immature hu-man has not yet learned how tocontrol his oral secretions. Be-cause saliva obeys the laws ofgravity, it dribbles down the ba-by’s chin and lands on anythingor anyone unlucky enough to bein the area.

The above description explainshow a baby gets his hands in hismouth and ends up drooling, butnot why. The “why’’ is really cool.

If I blindfolded you and asked

you to identify an object withoutlooking at it, what part of yourbody would you use? The answeris your hand. You would pick upthe object and move it around inyour fingers until you figured outit was a key or an eraser or what-ever it was that I had put in frontof you. The reason for this is thatyou have more sensory (feeling)nerves and brain space devoted toyour fingers than anywhere elseon your body.

The same is not true for babies.A baby’s most highly developedsensory area is in his mouth. Sowhen a baby (or toddler) sticks anobject in his mouth, it is not justto chew it. He is also feeling theobject and exploring it with thesensory nerves that line his

tongue and lips. (This is the samereason animals sniff everything insight. They identify a large part oftheir world through smell.)

Bonus fact: Babies are not theonly mammals that chew anddrool. Man’s best friend has simi-lar habits. For some reason, this ismore common with big dogs thanlittle ones. That’s why the 1989movie “Turner and Hooch’’ andthe never-ending series of“Beethoven’’ movies (1992 to2008) featured big, slobberingdogs instead of cute little dogs.The little ones may yap a lot, butat least they don’t drool!

When a baby (or toddler) sticks an object in her mouth, it is not just to chew it. She is also feeling the object and exploring itwith the sensory nerves that line her tongue and lips.
