Dear Readers,
PUBLISHER Mary Defayette EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Mary Defayette CREATIVE DIRECTOR Kristina Case GRAPHIC DESIGN Simply Graphic, Inc. ADVERTISING SALES Robert Defayette CONTRIBUTING WRITERS C. Norman Beckert, Frank Thomason ADVERTISING INQUIRIES
am determined to stop talking about the weather. Seriously, we are all experiencing the same thing so what is the point in lamenting over it? Have we become so boring that all we can think of to talk about is the temperature and cloud cover? With that I am moving on to (hopefully) more interesting banter. Lets talk about the concerts coming to Eagle! Lets get our calendars out and hit ictickets.com and make some plans and have some fun and invite our friends! Remember those people that live in Boise that dont know where Eagle is and havent visited you since you moved here? Call them up, have em Google a map and meet up at one of the MANY great Eagle patios for a great meal and cold drink in Eagle before a cool concert. We live close enough to ride our bikes and we have tickets for all the shows! Cant wait! My favorite band theyve booked so far is the B52s. I know every word to the Private Idaho album, and I am not afraid to sing them! I sure hope they do Quiche Lorraine! And I am sure that my fancy Boise friends will be impressed with my knowledge of the lyrics. On another note, I spent the weekend of the US Open working on this magazine and watching Rory McIlroy clean house on the entire field. The whole time I kept wondering who that kid reminded me of, then it came to me, Danny Noonan! If you dont know who that is please take time to watch Caddy Shack, the all time best golf movie ever! That reminds me, Kenny Loggins is playing in Eagle too! Im all right, nobody worry about me oh, dont get me started! Anyhow, way to play kid! On a serious note, I have gotten to know our Mayor, Jim Reynolds quite well over the past few months and am happy to consider him a true friend. He shared with me the other day that he has recently started chemotherapy for a tumor on his tongue. He told me he was exposed to Agent Orange in Viet Nam and has seen many of his dear friends die from the exposure. I am so saddened to know that another wonderful person must endure this battle. I am confident that he will preserver and kick cancers butt. The reason I share this with you is that like me, Jim believes strongly in the power of prayer. I ask that you keep Jim and his wife Joanie in your prayers as they endure this difficult period. Please pray also that there is a cure for this beast in our lifetimes. I doubt that he can rock the baldhead as well as I did but we shall all see very soon.

Our Community in Action
MAYOR
accommodations for a young boy of 14. He was, however, short on sufficient funding to fly Ryan here. He considered driving to Alabama to get his son, but abandoned that idea when he realized the enormous cost involved with todays gasoline prices. After meeting Mike and discussing the situation with him, I thought this might be something members of our community might like to address. As I started down the long list of motivated community leaders, it took only a few phone calls to reach the goal of an airline ticket. With each volunteer contributing a little and some more, on June 8th, we were able to rescue Ryan from an unpleasant situation and bring him back to Idaho for a joyful reunion with his Father. What a wonderful community we enjoy, full of gracious neighbors eager to help their fellow citizens through rough times. We are truly blessed to live in Eagle. Advisory Group We have recently formed an advisory group of interested citizens and business people to formulate strategies for our future growth. In the past, we have supported the City on fees from new construction buildings. When the business cycle reversed itself, as they always do, those fees dried up. Fortunately, your City Council and Staff took decisive action in slashing the budget so that Eagle is today in good financial condition. As we go forward, we will be looking to growing business, not new homes, to help us finance a vibrant and growing future.
Several weeks ago, we hosted a group of community organizations and churches to join together and share what each does for the City of Eagle. We had an excellent turnout and now we are continuing the momentum as try to select some of the projects for which we might come together into action groups. Several of the ideas involve the overarching goal of beautification for our City: Completing the park maintenance that has been deferred as we reduced the City budget to reflect the new economic reality; building up the berm along State Street/Route 44 and planting shrubbery to enhance and beautify the area. As we spool-up you will begin to notice our activity around the City.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors

You have all read of the rash of tornados that swept through parts of Alabama recently leaving almost total devastation in their wake. Many families having lost everything, gathered together for comfort and shelter in the aftermath of wreckage. Families who were more fortunate found many of their relatives and friends needing shelter and offered them their apartments and homes until they could rebuild. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Mike whose son, Ryan, was living with his Mother near Birmingham, AL and had offered their humble apartment to those in need. Ryan had alternately been sleeping on the sofa or the floor and through tears, begged his Dad to bring him back to Idaho, for at least the summer. Mike takes care of a small horse ranch in Eagle and has ideal

FAVORITE APPS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
JULY FEATURE:
Favorite new app is the c25k app. This is a virtual coach to get you from the couch to a 5K race in 60 days. The .99 app allows you to download your own music, map your runs, journal and track your pace. The virtual coach pipes in commands and while you listen to your own music. The first five minutes is a warm up, followed by running and walking. The workouts are 3 times a week and training runs for 9 weeks, building up to a 45 minute run. My goal is the run at the Idaho Womens Fitness Celebration on September 24th in downtown Boise.

QR code readers
What are those squiggly boxes anyway?
What the heck are all of these squiggly boxes showing up in print lately? They are QR codes, or Quick Response codes. They have been around since the 90s when a Toyota subsidiary created them to robotically track car parts. They have been widely used in Japan, the Netherlands and South Korea, and slow to catch on in the US. With the advances in smart phones now its simple to download the code. Its a two dimensional barcode that displays various content on your device. The original barcode is limited to a maximum of 20 characters, just right for tracking inventory. The QR code can represent up to 7,089 numbers or 4,296 alphanumeric characters, way beyond the capability of a barcode. There are several readers available, I use Qrafter, it was been generator for iPhone, iPad and iPad touch. Its main purpose is to scan and parse the contents of QR codes. Once you download a reader, your iPhone, etc can create or read the code and very rapidly download its contents. There are readers available for hundreds of mobile devices. The code shown here took two minutes to create. Scan it and reveal the information!

WiFi Photo
Get your photos off the iPhone without syncing it.
This free app for the iPhone allows you to download photos from your Camera Roll without plugging the phone into the computer. Simply launch the application, and it gives you a URL to go to. The instructions are pretty simple, click on camera roll, click on download in zip, and then you can check the boxes of the photos you want or download the whole thing. It puts it in a zip format that you can drag onto your desktop. So easy! Great for if you need a picture fast, or dont have your iPhone cable.

a traveling dogs best friend.... REST AREA FINDER

I took a road trip to visit my sister near Seattle last month and found an app that maps rest areas along the way. Traveling with our new dog Romeo, I needed to map out places for him to potty on the eight-hour drive. Clean Micro LLC offers this free app, simply called Rest Area Finder. You can search by rest areas within 100 miles or more. Just click on the map and it details the services available at each rest area.
Happy 4th of July!

EAGLE SEWER DISTRICT SHOWS OFF NEW FACILITIES
by Mary Defayette Recently, the Eagle Sewer District offered tours of their new facilities to various members of the media and local government. Mayor Jim Reynolds, Councilman Norm Semanko and Chamber President Gretchen Gilbert were among those in attendance. The $3 million dollar lift station located on Palmer Lane was completed early this year and is fully functioning. This facility is the fifth lift station in the ESD system. Sewer lift stations serve as a central point of collection for gravity sewer lines. The raw sewage is conveyed by gravity to these collection points and the lift stations pressurize and lift the sewage either into other gravity collection lines or push the flow directly to the wastewater treatment plant. The addition of this newest system will accommodate growth well into the future. The new lift station alone can handle three million gallons of waste per day and has been retrofitted for cost saving, future expansion. The other new facility is a $5.3 million Head Works facility located one mile west of Eagle on the north side of the Boise Rivers north channel, next to the ESD lagoons. Here the inorganic material from raw sewage is removed from the waste stream via screens, things like diapers, plastic, rocks, anything that is not organic is removed. From there the waste is pumped to the lagoons to be aerated for nine days. After this process, the waste is pumped to the West Boise Wastewater Treatment Facility for final cleaning before being discharged into the Boise River. The Boise facility is located off Joplin Road, north of Chinden Boulevard. Raw sewage is sent from the ESD to the City of Boise for final purification at a cost of around $500,000.00 annually or about $5 from your $30 monthly bill. The palmer road lift station was financed internally with funds saved over the years. The new Head Works facility was funded with a judicial review that allowed for a bond of $6.5 million on a 20-year note. Eagle Sewer Districts wastewater treatment facility is located one mile west of Eagle on the north side of the Boise Rivers north channel.

EAGLE POST OFFICE JOINS NATIONWIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM
by Mary Defayette I was at the post office a few weeks ago and noticed that they were selling new postage stamps that were encouraging recycling. I thought it was quite hypocritical considering all of the paper that I have witnessed at our post office being thrown in the garbage. I asked Gayle, the clerk at the window if they do any recycling. She said, No, but it seems like we should do more than just sell the stamps. I couldnt agree more and asked to speak to the postmaster. Eagle post master, Agron Burucker told me that he didnt know of any such programs. I left and made a quick call to Rachel Kline, my source for information at Allied Waste. She connected me with their man in charge of recycling programs, Konrad McDannel, he told me that the post offices nationwide have had a program in place for years and that many Idaho post offices were on board starting as early as 2008. Konrad scheduled a meeting with the staff and within a week the bins were in place. I have yet to see any signage for the program, but was assured its on the way. The bins near the PO boxes are locked, so its more secure than just tossing mail in the trash. The majority of paper recycled is in the back, where tons bulk mail is tossed out. Currently the 12 nearby post offices are recycling over 19 tons of paper a month! Great news for Eagle and Mother Earth!

SCORE: DO YOU HAVE AN ELEVATOR PITCH?
by C. Norman Beckett
JesseJamesPainting.com
A
DONT LET MOSQUITOES CONTROL YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING.
n elevator pitch is an overview of an idea, product, service, project, person, or other service with the intention of developing interest for further conversation.
It is surprising to me how few business owners have an elevator pitch enabling them to introduce themselves and to concisely describe their product and/or service in two minutes or less. Opportunities abound for the business owner to promote his business through the simple task of a well thought out introduction. Id have more than one pitch to be prepared to respond to whatever situation presents itself. The elevator pitch is an important element of word-of-mouth marketing. A typical Elevator Pitch will have an Introduction, a Body and a Close.
Get solutions today!
Introduction
The Introduction would include the presenters name, the customers to which the business is focused, the problem being faced by the customers, the solution proposed by the business and perhaps a metaphor or analogy to describe the solution. For example: My name is Thomas Edison and Ive developed a new product that will provide a light source to replace oil lamps in your home. It is called an electric lamp. At night it will turn your dimly lit living room to day.

20 |July 2011
(208)-608-5252
Body
In the body describe the design, the architecture, a unique approach and if applicable any patents, copyrights or trademarks. Add any advantage your product has that will provide an edge over the competition and the forecasted financial impact that may be generated. For example: The product has a metal filament in a glass bulb. When electricity is connected to the bulb the filament glows with great intensity providing a light source far brighter than the oil lamp. A patent has been issued. As homes are electrified anticipated sales will be in the millions and by year two after its introduction annual sales will be in excess of $10 million and will double each year thereafter during the next five. years.

Close
In the close describe whats been accomplished and what the next steps will be. Also this is your chance to ask for the order; or perhaps for an investment in the business or you may be seeking a collaborator. To continue with the Edison example he might have said: I have moved the electric lamp from the laboratory to my home and to the homes of several of my neighbors. It is like having daylight at night. To commercialize the product I am seeking $1 million to mass-produce and distribute the lamp. Up to ten investors will be offered the opportunity to participate in the business and its projected rewards. Another approach could be to address a pain statement and then propose a value proposition that is succinct, understandable, greed inducing and irrefutable. Chris OLeary has written a book entitled Elevator Pitch Essentials. In it he itemizes nine essentials for an effective elevator pitch. He calls them the 9 Cs of an Effective Elevator Pitch:

I have been attending Eagle City Council meetings for the last three years and I am quite discouraged by the lack of cooperation among our councilmen when it comes to allowing new businesses into Eagle. I am hoping we can get some fresh names on the ballot for November and reverse this trend. It is obvious to anyone that attends meetings on a regular basis (which is basically Frank Thomason of Valley Times and I) that Councilmen City Council meetings can be a big John Grasser and time committment to new business Ali Shoushtarian just owners. dont want to support business growth in Eagle. This became painfully obvious again, when on June 21st Council held a meeting to get input from the community about The Land of Rocks conditional use permit for live concerts at the Eagle River Pavilion. This is the same business that last year won unanimous approval from all four of the same councilmen at an Ada County Commission hearing. Once again, the business owner, Creston Thornton, had to bring a posse of supporters to gain approval of a perfectly legitimate business on his private property. Does this sound familiar? Is it normal to have to rally colleagues and friends to a city council meeting to get approval to start a business, only to have two of the four councilmen deny it?

concert series and she brought a laugh from the crowd when she confessed that she was confused that these folks in opposition believe that hearing music could truly affect their quality of life. She made a great point comparing this to a true thief of quality of life, such as having to face chemo or a major illness. Now, thats affecting quality of life! She also just happened to have with her a petition of 2,000 supporters! The opposition to Eagle River Pavilion was less than .03% of Eagles population. The only complaint from anyone was noise. Not traffic, not litter, not drunkenness, or parking or crime, just noise. By the way, the opposition (a few residents of Two Rivers for the most part) sent emails, placed signs and went door to door in an attempt to rally support, yet only eight people showed up to oppose the concerts. Why would any of the councilmen try to appease eight people at the expense of the other 22,000? Since when does a city council get to demand that 100% of the population must agree before someone can run a business in a town in America? I cant think of one business that could pass that test. Do they have no appreciation for private property rights, the laws that protect them or the need to make a living, not the mention the need for tax revenues? Short of 100% of the community agreeing on a business, is this the process that a new business hopeful must endure? Trust me, when business owners get together over a beer or cup of coffee and talk about growing their businesses, Eagles reputation has them turning on their heels. If we dont see big changes in our council, business will cease to come here. Its just not worth it. These endless meetings and delays cost businesses real money. Ask the Fred Meyer folks if they had to do it over again if they would have chosen to be annexed into Meridian instead of Eagle. The privilege of paying taxes and creating jobs in Eagle has a high price tag, for sure! Bill McCarrell went through this process earlier this year. There were several meetings for public testimony. It took over a year and countless meetings to get through the process. Ever wonder how the rent got paid for that year? What seems to have been

lost by some of our council is that there was no basis to deny the permit. He was not requesting a conditional use permit. There was no basis to deny him and in doing so, they would have opened the City up to a lawsuit that they couldnt win. Also, whats the point of continually forcing our community members to face off against each other? Just a few weeks ago, a representative of Fred Meyer came to council to amend the lighting portion of the design of the parking lot. He did a great job explaining in laymens terms why they asked to make the change. It was going to save 13% of their overall energy cost yes, SAVE energy. I sat back and thought, well at least this will go quickly and we can get home at a decent hour. Ha! Before I knew it Grasser and Shoustarian were grilling this guy on lighting, as if they had more knowledge on the subject. At one point Shoushtarian actually made a motion to force them to use LED lighting. First of all, I am pretty sure that if LED were the best choice they would have asked to get LED approved. Secondly, why would he think that he could force them to use a specific lighting source? How did it turn out? I couldnt tell you. I was so frustrated by the whole thing that I left. I am not suggesting that Eagle councilmen just roll over and allow any business to come here. Certainly a giant like Wal-Mart would wreak havoc on our small town. But we are talking about opening one bar in town, having live music in Eagle and allowing Fred Meyer to annex into our town instead of Meridian, (either way they were building on that location, so why not get the tax base for Eagle?). Its clear that a select few residents would like to see Eagle be a bedroom community. That would be dandy if property taxes from homeowners alone could sustain the city. They cant. Have ya heard about the budget shortfalls? Have you noticed that housing starts are not enough to pay for everything this town needs; basics like animal control and code enforcement? Hmm, how could we get more revenue without raising taxes? Let me think on this, thinking, thinking, hey how about new business? Really? What a concept!

In the end, Eagle River Pavilion will be allowed to have concerts but its not without stringent, and in my opinion unreasonable conditions. They must meet with council every month during the concert season and again at the end of the season to make sure that they are following the rules to the letter of the agreement, just like they did last year. By the way, not one opposing person showed up for any of those meetings to complain last year. I know of no other business that has to answer to a city council on a monthly basis. Final vote for the conditional use permit: Norm Semanko made the motion to approve a three year permit, Mike Huffaker seconded, vote was taken and Grasser and Shoushtarian voted no, the Mayor broke the tie with a yes vote. The elections are coming up, got an idea on who should be running? I dont want to have to leave my town for products and services. I dont want to have to leave my town just to get a taste of culture. I dont want to have to leave my town for common sense governing! I dont want to have to leave my town for a job. We need to elect leaders that appreciate this concept. Councilmen Huffaker and Shoushtarians terms are up in 2011 Semanko and Grassers terms expire in 2013. Norm Semanko has announced his candidacy for Mayor in the 2011 election and will step down from his council position if elected, if that happens Semanko will appoint his replacement. Mayor Reynolds has yet to decide if he will seek re-election. God Bless Eagle!

Well,
as suspected it didnt take long for us to realize we need a dog in our lives after the death of OMalley. I came across this picture of Romeo on
the Idaho Humane Societys Facebook page back in April when OMalley was still living. Romeo had been attacked by a much larger dog, his leg was broken and shoulder was dislocated. The owners turned him over to the Humane Society because they could not afford the surgery to save him. STAR, Save the Animal Rescue stepped in and paid for his surgery. His IHS foster mom, Alie took Romeo home after his surgery to rest and heal. I considered adopting him when I first saw his picture with the big green cast, but I knew that OMalley would not be impressed. As social as he was with people, he just wouldnt acknowledge another animal. He was destined to be an only dog. Weeks later, after OMalley died, another picture of Romeo appeared on Facebook. This time, announcing that he had healed and was ready for a forever home. Those big brown eyes spoke to me and I called IHS and I met with Alie and Romeo a few days later. Alie told me that Romeo was aptly named and a big lover. of women, that is. Any man that enters the room is greeted with his fiercest bark. Its impossible to know what he has been through or why he is so defensive with men but we are working on an attitude adjustment and considering obedience class.
Romeo!
The newest member of the Eagle Informer is ready!!

We are so excited to bring Romeo to our pages at the Informer. We need your help to give his articles a new name. Post suggestions to our facebook page. Romeos new pages will be featured in the August issue!
WE NEED YOUR SUGGESTIONS!! FIND US ON FACEBOOK!
He had me with those big, brown eyes!
Romeo is a great watchdog and has done a fine job making sure no birds land in our yard. He is pretty well
behaved, never potties in the house and obediently walks into his kennel at night. He is much more aggressive than OMalley and

cant be left in the front yard. I learned this quickly as I was letting him check out his yard, everything was going fine until a boy on rollerblades went by. Romeo tore after the kid and it took a few blocks for me to catch him. Thankfully, Romeo isnt an escape artist and seems pretty happy in the back yard or looking out the window waiting for our return. If you are considering a new cat or dog please visit a local animal shelter. There are so many animals in need of a forever home. I looked on Craigslist and was sadden to see so many people continue to breed dogs for profit. There was even one post for a breeding pair of Schnauzers. Apparently the owner had used them up and was now offering them for a few hundred dollars! A walk through an animal shelter should cure anyone of this senseless breeding.

Robert and I were so touched by the emails, letters, cards and phone calls of condolences for OMalley. Thank you so much for the compassion you all showed us. So many of you told me that OMalleys Adventures were your favorite part of the magazine that we
decided to have Romeo step in and start sharing his adventures in the next issue. If you have an idea for a name of his feature please post it on the Eagle Informer Facebook page.

magine a bike ride to camping, swimming, fishing and picnicking from home. Imagine miles of trail rides, family reunions, greenbelt paths from end to end even a wetlands education center. Thats whats in the works for Eagle Island State Park. How on earth in this economy can this really happen? Thanks to the idea from Eagle developer and resident Ron Salli, the park itself is going to pay for the huge overhaul. How? The sale of extracted gravel from within the park! Local contractor Knife River has been awarded the contract for gravel extraction and will pay the Idaho Parks and Recreation Department $2.26 per ton for material extracted. This extraction will create a small pond called for in the parks master plan, located in the northeast corner of the property. The build out will take several years and timing will be influenced by the price of gravel. While the transformations are taking place the park will remain open for use. These changes will also greatly improve the water quality for swimming by creating more movement within the river. Local dignitaries including Lieutenant Governor Brad Little, Eagle Mayor James Reynolds and IDPR director Nancy Merrill joined together with invited guests to formally break ground on the gravel extraction project. A $3 million dollar bridge was built and will be used during the build-out. Once the work is done, the bridge will give State Street access to the park, just across from The Blue Door Caf.

Silver City
by Mary Defayette
Welcome to
Please Set Your Clocks Back 100 Years!
isiting Silver City is truly a walk in the past. It was established in 1863. Rich mineral strikes were discovered and people flocked from all over the country to stake their claim. There were around 75 businesses and 400 buildings at its peak in the 1870s. Now, there are about 60 buildings left. Hiking around town there are pieces of history strewn about the land. Chunks of machinery like dead soldiers litter the hillside. A creek runs through the town and fresh water trickles down from the mountain. A cemetery at the edge of town reveals sorrows mothers and fathers for the numerous graves of babies and children. Unknown graves tend to outnumber the known. The town has only a handful of businesses now. The commercial buildings of the past are now private residents. Many of the owners are direct descendents of the pioneers that built the town. Rarely does a building go up for sale. From the Chinese Laundry to the Meat Market, locals have transformed the businesses to summer getaways. There are lots of renovations going on and the pride of ownership of a slice of Idaho history shows in the locals. The huge white schoolhouse on the hill is the only building to be fully restored. Thanks to a grant of $400,000.00 the school is the jewel of the town. To date the school is empty but there are efforts to recreate the interior with period furniture and school supplies. The only church is the Catholic Church, Our Lady of Tears. Its open for mass one Sunday per month in June-September. If you happen by when its closed just peek in the peephole in the door. Youll be amazed at how beautiful it is. 2011 Mass Schedule: July 17th 12:00, August 7th 12:00 , September 4th 1:00 PM

Left (circa 2011): the remodeled school house & above, the Idaho Hotel.
The Idaho Hotel
One of the few remaining businesses is the historic and some say, haunted, Idaho Hotel. Roger and Jerri Neilson are the current owners. They purchased the Hotel from their long time friend Ed Jaegels, in 2000. Ed owned the hotel from 1972 2000. The hotel had been closed from 1942 to 1972. The Idaho Hotel was originally established in Ruby City in 1863, just a few miles from Silver City. When Ruby City lost the county seat to Silver City many buildings were moved to the new county seat.
Walking in the front door of the hotel is a large room filled with period antiques. Part lobby, part museum. There are old slot machines, assaying displays and pictures of the past on the walls. Moving on, through the creeky doors is the family style dining room that seats around 70 and features a long, ornate bar. There are no bar stools, instead, is the traditional foot rail. In the 1800s men would belly up to the bar and stand to have a drink.

the stagecoach. Respectable women would not linger on the streets in those days. Also, there was a considerable red light district with women offering false affection. Although the hotel is well over 100 years old, the kitchen is sparkling clean and efficient. Jerri gave me a few of her secrets to a perfect pie- crust, mountain air being foremost. The food is wonderful! For dinner, we enjoyed salmon with lime sauce and wild rice, followed by Jerris renowned peach pie. Most weekends there are dozens of pies to choose from and a good size menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner available. Dont expect an in room coffee maker or turndown service. The Neilsons have strived to keep the place as authentic as possible. There are shared bathrooms and three showers. The beds are comfy and rooms and bathrooms tidy and clean. There is a second level porch out front, perfect for a morning cup of coffee or a cold beer in the afternoon and a great view of folks coming and going about town. *At&t is the only cell phone coverage available.
There is talk of the haunted room #25, known for screaming Alice, although Jerri says shes more of a moaning Alice. I am not sure that that gives me much comfort. Roger and Jerri have been restoring the hotel one room at a time over the past decade. There are 13 rooms, mostly with one queen bed. Our room had a beautiful antique carved bed, matching dresser and a stunning view of the Owyhee Mountains. Overnight guests have access to more of the hotel and are welcome to check out the other rooms and the magnificent parlor. There is a piano in the parlor that is one of only five in the world and three in the US. Can you imagine the work it took to get a piano up that mountain? According to Jerri, the parlor was a waiting room for women meeting a guest or waiting for
Around Town
Wild flowers abound, daffodils are in full bloom in June and iris peak in July. Even in mid June there was still snow on the ground and the creek was raging. We stopped into Pats What Not Shop and I purchased a beautiful pair of black onyx earrings. She also carries souvenirs, local mineral samples, history books and postcards. There is free camping within a few yards of town. If you have a four-wheeler, this is a paradise of hundreds of miles of trails. Even on foot, there is great hiking and the views are stunning. If you are camping bring everything youll need, as there are few supplies available. You can of course get three squares from the Hotel.

History
In the late 1800s there were upwards of 2500 people living in Silver City, rivaling Boise in size and services. Just beyond the center of town are the remains of China Town, here shanties were abundant but now little remains. The Chinese were important to the town and provided much manual labor including clearing the road of snow all winter long and delivering water to residents via buckets on yokes. The Chinese laundry is one of the larger buildings still standing and sits right across the street from the Idaho Hotel. Silver City was the Owyhee County seat from 1866 to 1934. Some of the largest stage lines in the West operated in the area, and Silver City had the first telegraph and the first daily newspaper in the territory in 1874. (Before Idaho was a state) Telephones were in use here by 1880, and the town was electrified in the 1890s. Hundreds of mines pock-mark and honeycomb the mountains; one had upwards of seventy miles of tunnels laboriously hand-dug through it. Between 1863 and 1865, more than two hundred and fifty mines were in operation and hundreds more were developed thereafter. Through the seventy-odd years of mining, more than twelve ore-processing mills gleaned rich rewards in tons of gold and silver. Large stacks of gold and silver ingots were photographed for posterity. At the very least, sixty million dollars worth of precious metals were taken from the area. At todays prices, that amount would be even more impressive.

Owyhee County was organized December 31, 1863,

out of all territory south of the Snake River and west to the Rocky Mountians. In 1864 Oneida County and in 1879 Cassia County were cut off of Owyhee County. Since the reappointment act of the 1966 Legislature, Owyhee County is included in District 13 with Canyon County and no longer represented by officials living entirely within the confines of the county.

10 T (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter,softened 1/2 cup brown sugar 4 cups fresh nectarines, sliced thinly 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 t. baking powder 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 t. vanilla extract 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place 4 tablespoons butter in a 9-inch round cake pan (2 inches deep at least) and melt in oven. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange fruit in an even layer in pan, and place pan on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil (you will want to protect your oven). In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 6 tablespoons butter on high until light and fluffy. Add granulated sugar and beat until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions yogurt, and beat to combine. With a spatula, spread batter over nectarines. Bake until cake is dark golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about an hour. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack, 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan and invert cake onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature with fresh whipped cream.

A Side of Green Beans

This recipe actually doesnt have a name, it was just one of things my Mom aslways made that I got used to and had to learn how to make when I was on my own. I remember eating this dish every single summer growing up. We even ate it during the winter, but the fresh green beans from the garden just added a certain flavor you dont get from canned beans. If you freeze some fresh green beans, this makes a MUCH better side dish at Thanksgiving. My family does not eat the green bean casserole with onion things on top. Were picky like that. 8 c. fresh green beans, washed, ends snapped (you can either leave them whole, or cut-up) half an onion, diced 5 slices of thick, sliced good quality bacon 1/4 c. sour cream salt and pepper to taste Optional 1 TBL. fresh dill weed 1/4 . sliced almonds First, cook your bacon until nice and crisp, drain well on a paper towel. Leave about 1-2 TBL. bacon fat in the pan and cook diced onions until transparent. Take pan off burner. Meanwhile, cook green beans in boiling water for 3 minute, then drain really well, until almost dry. We always liked our green beans firmer, but if you like them softer, cook another couple minutes. Add bacon and beans into the pan with onions. Add your sour cream and if desired, the dill weed and almonds (these are my Moms newest additions that she loves, but I like this best without them). Make sure the pan isnt too hot, or the sour cream will boil and separate, yuck. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a casserole dish in a 250 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until all the flavors have combined and everything is hot. Enjoy!!

When buying fresh green beans, look for beans that are : Firm, green (not yellowish - unless youre picking yellow beans!), smooth, not wrinkly on the surface - thats an old or dried out bean, not lumpy-thats an overripe green bean! They keep fresh in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days.

FREEZING FRUIT TO LAST ALL WINTER
Enjoy freshly picked fruit all through the year. When fruit is seasonal, you will save so much money by buying it in bulk at the grocery store, picking it yourself at farm, or purchasing at a farmers market. You will be happy during winter that you have the makings for cobblers, cakes, smoothies or toppings for breakfast.
1) Buy fruit that is ripe and firm. Do not get really soft or over-ripened fruit, it will not last in the thawing out process. Be ready to freeze your fruit soon after buying, while it is fresh. 2) Thoroughly wash your fruit. Be gentle with berries, as they are more fragile. Dry on a paper towel on the counter. 3) After fruit is dry, place in an even layer on a cookie sheet and flash freeze, only keeping it in the freezer until it is very firm. 4) Package fruit in freezer plastic bags (try and get most of the air out), or plastic containers specifically made for the freezer. It is helpful to package in smaller amounts that you will be using, like 2 cup portions. That prevents having to defrost more fruit than needed. If you follow all these steps, youre fruit should last 6 months.
Apricot-Raspberry Jam
1 3/4 pounds ripe apricots 1 1/2 pounds (5 3/4 cups) raspberries 4 1/2 cups sugar 1 box (1 3/4 oz.) dry Sure-Jell low-sugar pectin 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon butter (optional) 4-pint size jars Lids & rings for jars Water canner Preparation before making fruit mix: Put water in boiling-water canner: It should be 2/3 full if using pint-size jars. Set rack on pan rim, cover pan, and bring water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, sterilize jars: When water in canner is boiling, place jars on rack, lower into water, and boil for 10 minutes (at elevations of 1,000 feet or higher, add 1 minute for each 1,000-foot increase above sea level). Reduce heat to a simmer and keep jars in water until needed. Nest lids in bands, place in a 2- to 3-quart pan, and cover with water. Set over high heat and bring water to 180 (do not boil). Remove from heat and cover pan. Fruit mixture: Rinse raspberries and apricots well. Pit and coarsely chop or mash apricots; you should have 3 cups. Coarsely mash raspberries; you should have 3 cups. In an 8- to 10-quart pan, mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with the pectin. Add apricots, raspberries, lemon juice, and butter (if 42 |July 2011
using); stir until pectin is well blended. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring often. Stir in remaining 4 1/4 cups sugar; when mixture resumes boiling, stir for exactly 1 minute. Remove from heat immediately. Skim and discard any foam from jam. Stir often for 5 minutes to distribute fruit. Quickly ladle hot mixture through a wide funnel into jars, leaving 1/4 headspace (the distance between top of jar rim and food inside) as recommended. (If the last jar isnt completely full, let cool, then serve or chill; do not process.) Wipe jar rims and outer threads with a clean, damp cloth. With tongs, lift bands and lids from hot water. Center on jars so the red or gray sealing compound is touching jar rims. Using a hot pad, screw bands on firmly, but dont force. Place jars on rack in canner and lower into water. The water should cover jars by at least 1 inch; if necessary, add more hot water. Cover canner, return water to a boil, and process for 5 minutes. Using tongs and a hot pad, lift rack with jars onto edge of canner. With jar lifter, remove jars and set upright on towels on a counter. Do not tighten bands. Let jars cool completely at room temperature. Press on the center of each lid--if it stays down, jar is sealed; if it pops up, chill the jar and serve within 2 to 3 weeks. Remove bands. Wipe jars and lids with a clean, damp cloth. If desired, replace bands. Label jars; store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 years. Once opened, chill; consume jams, chutneys, and relishes within 3 weeks, pickles within 2 months.
Dill Pickles
1/4 cup pickling spice 3 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar 6 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup salt 5 pounds pickling cucumbers (about 40; see Notes) 8 fresh dill seed heads 8 cloves garlic, peeled 4 wide-mouth quart jars Lids & rings for jars Water canner cheesecloth Preparation before preparing cucumbers: Put water in boiling-water canner: It should be 1/2 full for quart jars. Set rack on pan rim, cover pan, and bring water to a boil over high heat (for pickles, bring water to 180-185). Meanwhile, wash canning jars, bands, and lids in hot, soapy water, or run jars and bands through a dishwasher and hand-wash lids; drain. Reduce heat to a simmer and keep jars in water until needed. Nest lids in bands, place in a 2- to 3-quart pan, and cover with water. Set over high heat and bring water to 180 (do not boil). Remove from heat and cover pan. Pickles: Enclose pickling spice in a double layer of cheesecloth and tie tightly with string. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, bring spice bag, 3 1/2 cups water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil, stirring often. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Discard spice bag. Meanwhile, pick off and discard any blossoms and stems from cucumbers. Quarter cucumbers lengthwise. Place 2 dill seed heads, and 2 cloves garlic. Equally pack cucumber quarters vertically into jars without forcing, pushing 1/2 inch below rim; cut off any tips of spears that stick above this level. Pour hot vinegar liquid through funnel over cucumbers, leaving 1/2 headspace. (If the last jar isnt completely full, let cool, then serve or chill; do not process.) To release any air bubbles in chunky mixtures, run a clean plastic knife around the inside of the jars (metal knives can damage jars). Wipe jar rims and outer threads with a clean, damp cloth. With tongs, lift bands and lids from hot water. Center on jars so the red or gray sealing compound is touching jar rims. Using a hot pad, screw bands on firmly, but dont force. Place jars on rack in canner and lower into water. The water should cover jars by at least 1 inch; if necessary, add more hot water. Cover canner, return water to a boil (or to 180-185 for pickles), and process for 20 minutes. Using tongs and a hot pad, lift rack with jars onto edge of canner. With jar lifter, remove jars and set upright on towels on a counter. Do not tighten bands. Let jars cool completely at room temperature. Press on the center of each lid--if it stays down, jar is sealed; if it pops up, chill the jar and serve within 2 to 3 weeks (see below). Remove bands. Wipe jars and lids with a clean, damp cloth. If desired, replace bands. Label jars; store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 years. Once opened, chill; consume pickles within 2 months.

RESTAURANT FAVORITES by Kristina Case

Here are two cold drinks that we have been enjoying while its hot ouside. We typically buy these at the coffee house and Thai restaurants, but I have found an easy way to make them at home! To make the Thai iced tea, you have to purchase the Thai tea mix at the Asian Grocery store (9975 Fairview Ave in Boise). They also have the black tapioca pearls (boba) and straws, at a very reasonalbe price. ENJOY!
Thai Iced Tea with Boba
I love Thai food, and I always order one of these. This recipe tastes just like the ones you order!! 8 oz. thai tea mix , or half the bag (from Asian store) 10 c. water Tapioca pearls (from Asian store) Bring water to boil, and add leaves, let boil for 10 minutes. Allow to cool and strain using a colander and coffee filter over a pitcher. Make a simple syrup with 1 c. sugar boiled in 1 c. water until dissolved. Add to tea, taste and add additional sugar if needed. While cooling, cook tapioca pearls according to package. Fill a large glass with some tapioca, ice, tea, and top with half and half. Traditional Thai iced tea is made with sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk, but I found sweetening the mix with sugar is easier and the half and half is creamier.
Iced Coffee
If you just mix coffee and ice together, you get a weak drink. The secret is in the steeping a strong coffee concentrate. 8 c. water 1 1/2 c. coffee, ground Mix above in a large container, stir well and let sit overnight on the counter. In the morning, strain the grounds by using a colander with a coffee filter over it. Strain all the coffee mix into a pitcher. Sweeten your coffee mix by boiling 1 c. sugar and 1 c. water together until sugar is dissolved (this is known as simple syrup). Refrigerate until cold. To serve, fill a large glass with ice, top with coffee concentrate, leaving room in the top of the glass for half and half (the best), or milk. 44 |July 2011

Wild Flowers
5
of Idaho
by Mary Defayette
1 6
I have been photographing and admiring Idaho wildflowers since I was kid camping in Blaine County. Our family cabin had an old flower press book with dainty flowers pressed and neatly identified with perfect handwriting of Grandma Nana. I would hike all around Baker Creek searching for matching flowers. I saved up babysitting money and bought film for my Kodak Instamatic camera and would carefully shoot each one. Weeks later I would return to the cabin to compare my shots with the press book. My mom warned me that picking wildflowers was illegal, at ten years old I took my civic duty quite seriously and sternly warned any violators. As I was writing this story I decided to look into to claim. Was mom telling the truth or just trying to keep me from harvesting the desert mountain? According to Idaho Code Title 18 Crimes and Punishments Chapter 39 Highways and Bridges 18-3911 Wild flowers or shrubs along Highway removal or transport illegal. The removal of specific flowers and shrub is illegal along highways and bridges. Hmm, does this mean that out in the country or on BLM land its ok? I looked further and found the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It states: The 1973 Act implemented the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (T.I.A.S. 8249), signed by the United States on March 3, 1973, and the Convention on Nature Protection and Wildlife Preservation in the Western Hemisphere (50 Stat. 1354), signed by the United States on October 12, 1940. The document is lengthy and there have been numerous additional laws since the original law was passed. It appears that picking wild flowers along highways and on Federal or BLM land is illegal. Of course, removing flowers on private property is illegal without the owners permission. To be safe, I suggest you use your camera and save the images in an online album and share them with the world. I guess Mom knew what she was talking about after all.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERTS
ByVictoria A. Pearson, Animal Health Technician
Beware of
TICKS on your pets!
op-culture has successfully idolized the mythical blood consuming creatures of vampires. It seems every media source available has somehow managed to discuss and or portray an image of these creatures; painting a vivid image of desire and want. However, there is one type of blood consuming creature that is far from mythical and even further from want: ticks. The weather has finally decided to warm up and with it has come the boom in the tick population. In previous years it was common to begin seeing ticks in our area as early as March, but
To prevent and keep ticks from turning your pet into a snack applying topical tick prevention is safe and effective. The market for tick and flea preventions is saturated with a variety of tips, tricks, and solutions. Our clinic carries two top of the line products: Frontline Plus and K9 Advantix II. Both of these products work extremely well at not only preventing ticks from attaching, but killing any that may have already started to feed. Both products are extremely safe and last for approximately one month. Our veterinarians do prefer owners apply topical tick prevention instead of having your pet wear a tick collar for several reasons. We oftentimes see that animals wearing tick collars can have localized skin reactions to having the chemicals isolated to one area of their skin for long periods of times. Another risk is the chance of having your pet or pets ingest the tick collar by chewing if off of themselves or the other animals. Ingestion of these collars is toxic to dogs and can lead to medical problems. So to keep your coven safe and insect clean this season please apply a topical tick prevention to help keep your Star Performers at optimal health and comfort!
The natural foliage and climate in the Treasure Valley provides a great home for tics. this years dramatic weather has delayed this seasons star appearance. Our clinic began receiving the calls from disgusted owners reporting they had found ticks on their beloved pets almost a month ago, and even the arrival of many of them in the clinic to have the insects removed. Past seasons had calls of these sightings coming in much earlier with most owners beginning prevention and treatment from March through to June. This year owners may find themselves on the lookouts for these insects as late as August or September, weather permitting. Many owners wonder if their pets are susceptible to picking up ticks, especially if they dont spend much time outdoors. The natural climate and foliage in the Treasure Valley provides an ideal home for these insects, and in many instances they may find your home suitable as well. The most common areas that ticks can be picked up by our pets are popular dog walking areas such as along the Boise Greenbelt and River, Camels Back Park, and on the numerous trails throughout the Foothills. These areas are loaded with ticks and there is no limit to how many may find their way onto your furry friend. 52 |July 2011

MONEYBAGS, FACT OR FICTION?

Five full weekends this July, not to be repeated for 823 years! I receive great tidbits of information from friends and readers all the time and I thought this sounded interesting. Of course, as a responsible journalist I do my best to verify facts before printing, I know, what a concept! Anyway, I got an email from a few friends telling me about this amazing calendar phenomenon called Money Bags. The email said that this July holds a rare occurrence of five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, only to be repeated in 800+ years. I started thinking about it and the math didnt add up. Upon further investigation I found that it actually occurs from every 5 to 11 years; far from the eight centuries claimed. At any rate with five full weekends in July get out there and enjoy them! By the way my favorite resources for checking facts are snopes. com and TruthorFiction.com. I compare the information on both sites for accuracy. If you receive an email with statements of fact please take a minute to check the facts before you send information on.

FOOD ALLERGY Its Complicated

F
ood allergies are another often unclear but crucial aspect of allergy treatment. A recent monograph published by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (Guidelines for the Diagnosis and management of Food Allergy in the United States) is an attempt by an expert panel to guide all specialties of physicians in their assessment of food allergies. The waters remain murky with many unanswered questions when patients are trying to determine if foods are a part of their symptoms. FOOD ALLERGIES are immunologic reactions, typically involving IgEan antibody produced to respond to an identified invader. Unfortunately measuring the total amount or food specific levels of IgE antibody in the blood may not be reliable in making the diagnosis of food allergy. The reactions can be diverse and range from itching in the mouth (ORAL ALLERGY SYNDROME) to wheezing (ASTHMA) to life threatening swelling that threatens the airway (ANAPHYLAXIS). Food allergies occur when your body views a drink or food as being harmful or dangerous and produces symptoms in attempt to let you know there is a problem. A food that may be eaten without symptoms by your friend may cause significant issues in your system. A severe reaction to foods is usually rapid in onset, occurring within minutes to a few hours after being eaten, and produces severe symptoms. These foods may be readily identified, for example peanut or eggs producing lip swelling, throat tightness, or difficulty swallowing or breathing. However, when foods are eaten together, it may be more difficult to note what was eaten in order to help the treating physician recognize the likely culprit and test appropriately. Although over 170 foods have been identified as possibly causing allergic issues, typically only a few consistently cause these problems. The most common foods causing allergy are cows milk, egg, peanut, soy, wheat, tree nuts (cashew, walnut), fish, and shellfish. Non-immunologic reactions to foods (FOOD INTOLERANCE) which can produce similar symptoms to true allergic reactions can occur minutes to cramping shortly after eating dairy. The symptoms are just as bothersome, but rarely life threatening. DELAYED FOOD ALLERGY occurs hours (up to 48 hours after eating) and can cause significant symptoms but are not life threatening. These foods present more challenging issues for patients and doctors in terms of identification. Extensive blood testing of food panels is a costly way of fishing for the food that may be the culprit. 54 |July 2011
The following questionnaire which may help identify foods that can be problematic: Do you have swelling in the mouth, or lips after eating? Are there foods you dislike or crave? Do you experience belching, bloating or cramping after eating? Do you or any member of your family have hay fever, asthma, hives, chronic skin conditions, migraine headaches, or irritable bowel symptoms? Do you have itching of the skin, roof of the mouth or throat? Are you frequently hungry after eating, even when eating a sufficient amount? Do you experience marked fatigue 2-3 hours after eating? Do have nasal congestion, itching or sneezing after eating? Do you or your child have frequent ear, throat or sinus infections? Do you have acid reflux, or colicky abdominal pain?

Work Toward Your Own Financial Independence Day
FINANCIAL FOCUS

Consider working part-time during retirement. Many Americans are now living longer and enjoying happy, healthy retirements. In fact, the concept of retirement has changed so that it now includes any number of activities including part-time work in a completely different area from ones previous career. If you are willing to do even a little part-time work during your retirement years, you can greatly reduce the financial pressures you may face during this time of your life. The 4th of July comes and goes quickly. So put strategies in place now to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
independence and the many freedoms we enjoy. But as you go through life, youll find out how important it is to work towards another type of freedom financial freedom. Thats David E Heffernan . why you need to put strategies in place to help you work towards 20 N Fisher Park Way your own Financial Independence Day. Ste #120 Eagle, ID way to And theres no 83616 sugar-coat this task, because it will 208-938-9687 be challenging. In recent years, a combination of factors including depressed housing prices, rising health care costs, frozen or eliminated pension plans and the financial market plunge of 2008 and early 2009 has made it more difficult for many of us to accumulate the resources well need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle weve envisioned. In fact, the average American family faces a 37 percent shortfall in the income they will need in retirement, according to a recent report by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. But now that weve gotten the bad stuff out of the way, lets turn to the good news: You can do a great deal to work towards financial freedom during your retirement years. Here are some suggestions that can help: Save and invest more. Obviously, the younger you are, the greater the benefit youll get by increasing your savings and investments. But whatever your age, youll find that it pays to save and invest more. During difficult economic times, of course, its not always easy to boost your savings and investments, but try to find ways that are as automatic as possible. For example, whenever you get a raise, increase your 401(k) contributions, which come directly from your paycheck. And whenever you get a windfall, such as a tax refund, try to use part of it for your IRA or another investment account. Rebalance your portfolio. Its always a good idea to periodically rebalance your investments to make sure they are still aligned with your goals and risk tolerance. But its especially important to rebalance as you get older and you near retirement. At this stage, youll want to decrease the volatility in your portfolio and lock in what gains youve achieved, so you may want to move some (but certainly not all) of your more aggressive investments into less volatile ones. Cut down on debts. Its easier said than done, but anything you can do to reduce your debt load will free up money to invest for your retirement. Work diligently to pay off whatever debts you can and examine your lifestyle to find areas in which you can reduce spending. 56 |July 2011

INCAPACITY
Planning For
s we go through life, most of us dont think about incapacity or losing our mental functioning. Capacity can be a difficult issue to define and determine. A loss of capacity can be gradual, such as what may occur with aging or illnesses like dementia or alzheimers. A loss of capacity could occur suddenly, even for a young person, through an accident or significant medical event. A decrease in capacity can prove to be one of the most difficult issues a family or individual will face. As capacity wanes, the individual may become vulnerable to manipulation, financial or physical abuse, or be a risk to herself or others. Alternatively, as health or capacity decreases the threat of having a person declared incompetent can be used as a manipulative tool to achieve a desired result. Because capacity affects a person while living, it is important to plan for this possibility and develop a protective mechanism to address this difficult situation.
based upon the matter at issue. For example, a person may lack legal capacity to handle her own financial affairs, but have testamentary capacity to execute a will or testamentary document. The Idaho statutory definition of an incapacitated person for the court to appoint a guardian or conservator is a person who is impaired . . . to the extent that he lacks sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning his person. Capacity is a legal conclusion, but is often based upon medical testimony or findings. Documents may be executed that set forth a definition of incapacity and develop a procedure to determine incapacity.
Planning Considerations. When planning for incapacity it

is important to consider both asset management as well as health care. It may be appropriate for the planning to include consideration of disabled children or elderly parents who are dependent upon you for support or care. One of the most important decisions to make is the selection of the people you will trust to handle these matters on your behalf. You may identify different individuals to handle the health decisions as compared to financial affairs. Select individuals who are diligent, reasonable, trustworthy, have adequate time available, and can withstand stressful situations or demands. It is preferable to have alternate persons identified if the first choice cannot serve for any reason. If no individual in your life meets the criteria, professional institutions or individuals exist for these positions (such as banks, accountants, attorneys, or others with training). This is the most important decision you will make because the ultimate success of the plan is dependent upon the integrity and ability of the person(s) selected. Dont feel compelled or obligated to name children as the agent if they are financially unsound, irresponsible, or irrational.
Definition of Capacity. The definition of capacity will vary
Documents. The most commonly used documents to

contemplate loss of capacity are the general power of attorney for property and business affairs and a health care power of attorney. The authority granted in these documents does not require approval by a court to be invoked and there is generally no standard monitoring to make sure the power is used appropriately. Another common planning tool is a revocable trust which may contain detailed provisions regarding the process and findings to be utilized to determine that incapacity exists. Because the authority granted in a power of attorney for property may not be conditioned upon incapacity, it is important to make sure the content and use of the documents is understood before being signed. Planning for incapacity can be a difficult issue to address, but may prove to be the most important decisions you make to insure your future is controlled and managed in your best interest when you are not able to make these decisions directly. This article is not intended to replace legal advice applicable to your situation and should be used only for informational purposes. Because of the complexity of the law, please consult with your attorney for proper guidance.

The sports physical is an annual rite for many students who have to get a physical exam prior to setting foot on a gym floor or sports field. Not only is this exam important because it helps determine whether its safe for your child to participate in a particular sport, but its also a great opportunity to track your childs health and educate him or her on proper diet and fitness techniques. Plus, should the need arise, our caring, compassionate staff are available to help take care of minor breaks, sprains, cuts and pains, well get you back in the game and feeling better today.
