Letters to the People

I count on the generosity of neighbors and other garden-ers for my produce. I could say that I have too many trees and the shade is too much, which is true but, the truth is I have always been a hor-rible gardner. The problem is the watering. There is such a commitment involved with getting water to the plants. In the Salmon River Canyon we have a long growing sea-son, yet there is the period of 100º+ days that fry my plants as I sit in front of this computer telling you all that I know.

And it is most important

during those super hot two weeks (or more)--which hap-pens to coincide with the time I like to get out of dodge to avoid the “hot season.” We had two minutes of rain in Riggins last week and it was the turning point. Finally! Cool nights. But then the heat won out again!

This issue pays homage to those of you for which this is your season: the harvesting, the canning and the indulg-ing. Hail to all of you!

-F. W. Ford, Riggins

Forest Gump, who famously told us that life was like a box of chocolates, was not a gardener. Had he been, he’d have used a corn patch for his metaphor.Coming late to gardening I have found it a humbling ex-perience. When I was grow-ing up in Weiser, everyone had a garden and everyone followed the same plan: fa-thers plowed, planted and harvested; children shucked, shelled, and washed pro-duce; moms cooked. Since most backyard gardens were small affairs, the child’s work wasn’t all that much and the food was so good I never minded.But I never realized how much planning, labor, hope and stress go into creating a good garden until I planted my own. It should be simple: prepare the ground; put seed in the earth, water, weed, and wait.Prior to getting started I was intrigued by Ruth Stout’s The No-Work Garden, which she claims is the result of much mulching and no tilling. It is a great idea and the organic farmer and grow-green ecol-ogist in me loves the idea. Perhaps Ruth’s garden is comprised of no work; not mine. I dutifully turned the soil without removing the weeds, cleaned out a goat barn and brought the result to spread on my garden, laid a layer of hay, then a layer of mown grass, then fallen leaves on the earth and left it alone to become magnificent compost. But that magnificent com-post came at a price. I spent an entire day cleaning the barn and moving the result to a pile where my neigh-bor came to help me cart it away. It took another two days to get it on the garden space. Then, fortunately, my neighbor knew a rancher with “broken hay” which we could have for the hauling, so

off we went. It was a full af-ternoon job, and one I could never have accomplished on my own. Then the next two days I hauled hay over the goat manure. The mown grass was a di-saster. I begged cut grass all over the neighborhood and was rewarded with huge piles in plastic bags, which I didn’t have the sense to use right away. When I finally got at it, the whole place smelled like farm silage, much to the cha-grin of everyone who lives within a block of me. The fallen leaves took forever to gather and everyone is heart-ily sick of my asking for them.But the worst occurred this spring. When the electric company cut back the tree limbs from the power lines, I begged a load from the chip-per. Ruth suggests such a ma-neuver. What I got dumped in my driveway was enough for the entire town; it took two hundred wheelbarrow loads and four entire days to scatter it all over my yard and garden.But by golly I have compost. I have so much compost that my tomatoes and my corn grow like science fiction. I haven’t a clue as to how to water and cultivate these crops but I know they grow like mad because they are in the world’s best compost.But. Ruth says nothing about wind. When we had the ter-rific windstorm, my five-foot high corn was blown flat. Again my great neighbors came to my rescue, helping me to stand it up. The next night came another storm, which blew it all flat the oth-er way. Again my neighbors helped, this time creating a tie-up to support the stalks. And now comes the time to harvest. Due to my neigh-bors’ diligence and the great compost, the corn stalks are actually bearing ears. It is, of course, impossible to tell which are ready and which

are not. If I get them too soon they are sickly and underdeveloped. If I wait too long, they are thick and chewy. But oh! When they are just right they are heaven. So here we are with God’s abundance: soil, water, sun and great compost. And each ear is a crapshoot. Will this be The One? Or will I pick an under ripe ear that could have been great with time? Or have I picked it too late, missing that ear which surely was a taste of heaven?And as I stand deliberating I realize that the whole pro-cess really is life’s metaphor. Good ideas sometimes look better than they turn out to be. Good neighbors are ab-solutely essential to quality of life. Good food is not easily come by. Good hard labor is better than none, but the re-sult is not ever in our control. Good compost can only take you so far.

Whether particle physicists can determine they’ve found the Higgs Boson {the new God Particle} for certain is a mat-ter of time. No scientist ever assumes anything, plus; dis-coveries need to be accepted by scientific convention. My point: I’m old enough to have gone through another God Particle excitement period when RNA and amino acids were discovered within the ice dust of a passing comet, de-cades ago, and that became the God Particle.The “Big-Bang” supposedly oc-curred about 14 billion years ago within a point infinitely small and at infinitely high pressure and temperature. What we see around us and in the evening sky are the theo-retical results of the “Bang.” But what if the universe never had a time when nothing was there? What if man, himself, created a beginning point to satisfy his human need for beginnings and ends? Yes, new stars are being born and old stars are dying every day out there, and our sun will die eventually also; but I believe that occurs within the infinity of a universe that never had a beginning of time. Professor Hoyle called it the “Steady-State” theory.The original “God Particle” from the above comet came from our galactic center, as have other God Particles from other comets from other cen-

ters of other galaxies. Comets have impacted with planet earth, since our 4 billion year life span, carrying with them the requirements for the be-ginnings of life. Comets carry water ice, and all water on our earth came from comet ice. First we had the water, then the RNA, the amino acids and life began at the single-cell level.That is where I came from. I’m a product of the solar system, the galaxy and the universe in general. Every mineral on earth and every cell in my body is composed of chemical ele-ments from somewhere within that beautiful home for all of us, we call the universe.Long ago at a campfire, I ex-perienced a night like no night has been, or will be again. Under that self-same sky, that universe; man struggled to sur-vive, then struggled to co-exist in a protective society of other like creatures. Mankind grew from the Neanderthal to Mod-ern Man. Man began to learn and built knowledge upon what he had learned yesterday. All the ancient civilizations of ancient man are the seedlings of who we are today and it all occurred under that sky of en-lightenment, that one night at that one campfire.

Hay Haul

Business

Every year, during the middle of August, the Shepp Ranch hauls in approximately 5.6 tons of hay during a five day period.From Knight Farms in Kamiah, two men wake at 1am local time and drive teh 9 hour round trip to Vinegar Creek boat ramp on the Salmon River.Today it was Tel Schmadeka and Trevor Knight. They were met by Shepp Ranch owner, Tim Turnbull and ranch guests Chris Mackle and his son, Liam and Jeff Stuermer and Damon Stilwaugh. Everyone meets at 8am at the “End of the Road” to “reload” the 105 bales on to two separate trailers. When

both trailers have been loaded the Knight Inter-national hay truck backs down the boat ramp to load the first of what will be three loads onto the Shepp Ranch outboard. Knight and Schmadeka head home for an after-noon nap to start again tomorrow. The 5.6 tons of hay of hay will feed approximately 20 head of mules and a few mares, now through November, the number of stock is reduced to re-

duced to about six animals from December until June and one or two people will stay to winter over with the animals.During the busy season, ten people are employed at Shepp Ranch.

These fires include the Churchhill, McGuire

and Herman. The Church-hill Fire, about 4 miles east of Dixie, has been contained by firefighters. A Type 3 incident management organization has been estab-lished to manage the McGuire and Herman Fires as one inci-dent. The McGuire Fire (100+ acres) is five miles northwest of Dixie, and the Herman Fire (3-5 acres) is about five miles west of Dixie. Both fires are located in rough country with poor access. Ground and air firefighting resources are cur-rently assigned. A fire camp will be set up at the Dixie Guard Station, with a helibase at Mul-lins field.Monday’s inversion helped to moderate fire activity on the Porcupine Complex in the Bargamin Creek drainage. The Bleak Fire did continue its advance on Burnt Knob but little movement is expected to the east. A 100-acre unburned island of ground near Dry Sad-dle is expected to burn over the next few days, impacting the Magruder Road. The Bleak Fire is estimated at 2,500 to 3,000 acres. The Hot Springs Fire burned more actively on the north in the direction of Three Prong Mountain, while the Porcupine Fire was relative-ly quiet Monday.Travelers on the Magruder Road #468 can expect delays during periods of active fire be-havior.

Closures on the Porcupine Complex: Hot Springs Fire: Trail #581 north of Poet Creek Camp-ground between the trail’s junction with Trail #502 and its junction with Trail #539 on the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness boundary is closed.Bleak Fire: Sheep Hill Trail #575 from Magruder Road #468 at Dry Saddle Trailhead Southwest to its junction with Cache Creek Trail #501.

Idaho! Labor Day Travel TipsThe last summer hurrah is right around the corner and with it mil-lions will hit the road. But as motorists are paying more than ever to fill up their gas tank there are actually ways to save a few bucks. Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie’s List, has great tips to boost your gas mileage on this Labor Day weekend.

Angie’s List of Top Tips to Boost Gas MileageKick the tires: Make sure your tires are inflated properly. Keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure increases your mileage up to 3 percent. Look on the driver’s side door jamb or in your owner’s manual for your vehicles recommended tire pressure.Sleep all day, drive all night: Consider driving to your destination during non-peak hours. Nearly half the energy needed to power your vehicle goes in acceleration. Unnecessary braking wastes

that energy. Save the limbo for the beach: Don’t get below one-eighth of

a tank of gas. Your fuel pump is located at the bottom of the gas tank where sediment from gasoline can collect. The

fuel pump can pick up the sediment, reducing your fuel efficiency.

Slow down: It’s tempting to race to your destination but speeding and rapid acceleration and decelera-

tion decreases your gas mileage – they’re bad f o r your transmission too.

wBarbeque Days in Kamiah

-Stacy McCusker

As the summer begs to end, I can feel people’s excitement for the annual Barbeque Days in Kamiah on Labor Day Week-end. This annual event always marks the end an epic summer and the promise of autumn coolness. Barbeque Days in Kamiah dates back to 1936 when local merchants started serving a free barbeque dinner in an expression of gratitude for local patronage. Thousands of people flock the streets every year. The free dinner is on Sat-urday from 5pm to 7pm. There is a parade down Main Street at 10am on Saturday morning. Throughout the weekend there will be craft and quilt shows, evening street dances, plenty of vendors and access to the mu-seum. The Grand Marshals are Dr. AJ and Janet Cruz this year. Come join us; it is a rare treat to be fed a meal without having to dip into your wallet. Thank you Kamiah!

A su salud!

It’s a jungle out there in my Food Zoo – that corralled stamp of ground, hugged by a fence that can no longer con-tain the spilling sprawl. The winter squash vines threat-en to meander up the Bat Point trail, intent on maturing in Elk City or Red River where days and nights are cooler. Tomato cages are crippled from the weight of rosy fruits, bent and bedraggled, making it an Olympic event when har-vesting the ripest morsels just out of reach in the overgrown paths. Zucchini bushes throw shade like beach umbrellas, block-ing the sun-starved marigolds where hummer moths attempt to hover and zing. Cucumber vines laugh at the dinky trellises I pushed in the ground in May, opting to wrap their tendrils in a death grip around too-tall bush beans.The garden is wildly messy and delightfully uncontrollable this time of year. And I love it. There’s no better reward than to see all those tiny seeds and wee transplants showing off, filling in the blank spaces of springs’ first plantings; how lonely ev-erything looked so far apart and tiny. How social those plants look now as they nudge and overlap one another. I walk through the gate with the clang of its cowbell and give a high five to the prayer flags to hear the tinkling bells that dangle on the string like agrarian earrings. It’s my way to let my pres-ence be known to the popu-lation of stomach and eye candy so I don’t shock or surprise them when I dead-head spent blooms or gather ripened treats. Despite the unruly nature of nature these days and the brittle leaves sagging on dried corn stalks and potato vines, beauty remains as the

bounty is loaded up in buckets and baskets. Sunflowers reach upward to kiss the sky and clouds of butterflies fan the air in this sweet domain. Each matured plant is like a school kid with all the answers, raising green arms as if to say, “Pick me!” And so I do. Not necessarily when my plant-students give me a wave, but eventually. I make the rounds in the cool of the morning after everything’s had a good drink of fake rain. Once the sprinklers are off, it’s down to the pleasant business of harvest time – those blissful hours when the day and I are just waking up. Aaah…the wet leaves that lick my legs are refreshing. My garden skirt becomes a damp sponge, often used as the sling that carries the harvest from garden to kitchen. It’s a hap-py day when you can fill your hemline with tonight’s salad makings or the first small zuc-chinis of the season.Earth’s rewards are realized during the gathering time of year. The yields cover the kitchen counter or picnic table like mosaic tiles, the colorful artwork from the soil.It’s a time of washing jars, mar-rying lids and rings, hover-ing over vats of boiling water, blanching, sealing, filling and freezing bags and recycled

olive jars. The shushing syncopation of the shuttle cock on the pressure can-ner is the melody of the harvest soundtrack. And you muster up your best penmanship while la-beling things even if your fingers are sticky with blackberry jam. All for the love of garden-ing and the prideful re-wards of preserving that which you’ve tended for months and will crave come winter: foods we know the origin of, most of which are the product of heirloom seeds shared by those who have gardened in the canyon long before I ever held a hoe. We are eating his-tory and goodness. The cellar shelves can be filled again. Hooray! There’ll be no rationing the last 2 jars of dil-ly beans or pepper jelly from 2011. Newly filled jars line the shelves like attentive soldiers, a nutritious battalion at the ready whenever we have a hankering for Sauerkraut, salsa, relish, beets and pickles. It’s a time of feeling rich and grateful. Harvest time makes you forget about the cool damp spring when you had to replant the beans 3 times or painfully watched the cucumbers wilt, wither and disappear for lack of warmth. While gathering the yield, you don’t remember the flea beetles you cursed in April that made Swiss cheese of your rutabaga leaves, or the painfully slow growth in the basil plot. Now, you are giving beans and cuke’s away for the shear abun-dance of them and can’t recall a year when you’ve ever made so much pesto. And all the while, you can’t help but feel this monumental

sense of pride when the plate before you is filled with that which is within reach…….right out the door, hugged by a fence that can no longer con-tain the sprawl of abundance. Gardeners celebrate! Cellars celebrate! We all celebrate the

harvest and the joys of playing in the dirt.

Cellar-bration!- Sue @ Yellow Pine Bar…..waaaay upriver! Harvesting!

We all come and we all go. It’s just a matter of time. I’m pretty sure that’s why we are told to enjoy every moment and to appreciate all the good things in life that we often take for granted. There’s a scene in movies when someone is hav-ing a near death experience and their life passes by in a short intense glimpse of light and bittersweet bliss. What if that moment lasted all the time? Could we take it? Cue the dra-matic music.Moving can feel a bit like that and I’ve moved a lot. I’m about to do it again. Now when I am talking to a friend I can’t help but wonder “is this the last time I’ll ever see this person?” Or perhaps I’ll be looking at Jug Mountain toward the end of the day when the sun is cast-ing long golden shadows and I know that is a sight I will miss. I am suddenly all out of sorts, verklempt. Aargh, this is tough.If true living is about being IN the moment, as if each moment was the last, I understand why this does not always come so easily. I also understand the choice to pound a six-pack and pass out instead. But of course awakening in the morning with a nasty headache on top of be-ing depressed is no picnic ei-ther. Again, a matter of choic-es, so choose your poison.In the spirit of denial and wish-ful thinking, which I am quite good at, I now go with the the-ory that I am not saying good-bye, but rather, I’ll see you later. I certainly hope this turns out to be the case and maybe this strategy will make things a bit easier.But if I seem a bit out of sorts the next time we cross paths, please excuse me. It’s probably because I am trying to not take the moment for granted.Music Pick of the WeekSaturday, Sept. 8, Salmon River Brewery, Deja Blue

Ed Didisse was the first musi-cian I met when I came to Mc-Call. Ed is a local treasure, hav-ing played in dozens of bands over the years. Besides being a really nice guy, he plays a helluva guitar and harmonica. His band, Deja Blue, includes Jay Barry, a shredder on bass with years of playing on the Vegas circuit under his belt. They pick from a rotation of local drummers and the result is a mix of uptempo blues, jam and the occasional classic like Secret Agent Man. You can count on a fun evening and al-most certainly a great version of Can’t You See as well.Thanks for listening, “Fast” Ed-die Pramuk, [email protected]

9 to 5 The Musical is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. The show is set in 1979 and tells the story of three unlikely friends who conspire to take control of their com-pany and learn there’s nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world. Outrageous, thought provoking and even a little romantic, 9 to 5 The Musical is all about teaming up and taking care of business.

It’s about getting credit and getting even. MTI, pub.

Crump’s Chevron


Virgo: Since life is like a long journey down a winding river, and since you’re always the Captain of your own boat, you should probably get ready to holler out a “High Side,” as you’re about to head in a new di-rection across uncharted waters. Naturally, that’s the only direc-tion you’d want to go in anyway, so refresh your drink and put on your life jacket.Libra: The recent new moon shed some of its powerful light on your career. Your key to capi-talizing on this will be to some-how balance career and family for the next few weeks. Since this may feel a kin to juggling chainsaws, try a new motto like: “Crazy is really a relative term.”Scorpio: There’s an old saying that goes, “An unquestioned faith is a dead faith.” This may help as you power through a time when self-doubt may be bugging you. Adding a person-al new mantra may help even more, although probably not this one: “We came, we saw, we farted.”Sagittarius: Sagittarians are “outdoorsy” people. Therefore, you hearty members of this sign have the most luck in love when you give your heart to people who are also “outdoorsy” or at least people who like to go “au natural” around the house. Since this is a good time for Ar-ies to start or renew a romance, here’s a starter line that should help: “If you and I went camping and the next morning when you woke up it smelled like Boone’s Farm and your body was sprin-kled with German chocolate, would you hold it against me?”Capricorn: You may be feeling like life, especially the familial part of it, is a spandex body suit two sizes too small and you’re wearing it while trying to do something aerobic, like run-ning hurdles or doing the Jane Fonda workout. To help you maintain some balance, try not to adopt this Jane Fonda theo-ry: “If you’re ever in a situation where you’re not getting served or you can’t get what you need, just cry.”Aquarius: The Stars are stress-ing that you do whatever you need—within the confines of the law … well, maybe not the laws in Utah or Alabama—to handle any stress life tosses at you. So be sure to find time to go for a walk, to quietly read or to have your love slave treat you like the King/Queen (or in some cases, both) that you are. If you can, everything should

roll along like a royal carriage for you.Pisces: Since life is currently asking you to shake things up a bit, here are a couple nuggets of advice. The first comes from Joel Osteen: “God doesn’t want to you to just survive, but to thrive.” The other comes from Clouds: “God also wants you to hug often and to occasion-ally celebrate like the heavens are throwing a keg-er in your honor.”Aries: Your power of transfor-mation is very high right now. How high, you might ask. How about higher than Jeff Spicoli when he had pizza delivered to his history class. To help har-ness your power, take it easy on your favorite substance and adopt a new motto like Spicoli’s: “All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.”Taurus: As summer begins to wane and the days start to go faster than a bag of Doritos sit-ting in front of Buddha, Clouds thought this advice from the Dalai Lama might help: When-ever you’re having a negative thought mediate on it’s positive opposite (ie: when you’re angry think about love). Or, you could throw a hissy fit. It’s up to you.Gemini: The Stars wanted to remind you that failure, just like farting, is a part of life. But what’s really important isn’t getting knocked down or how bad you can stink up the car, it’s about having the courage to get back up or to apologize or to at least roll the window down. Therefore, your new mission is to make sure you keep getting back up. The Stars will be there to dust you off and supply some Febreeze.Cancer: Trix may be for kids, but a fast talker can trick any-one every now and again. To help make sure that the only Trix in your life this week are floating in milk, please realize that you’re incredibly attractive to everyone else, especially right now. But keep in mind that some of those you attract won’t be nearly as lucky as a rabbit’s foot.Leo: It looks like the next year will see you cool cats making steady progress towards your dreams. The keys to this suc-cess will be determination, pa-tience, regular heavy petting sessions and staying positive. Memorizing this line from Ralph Waldo Emerson will also help: “Every minute you remain mad you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.”

Yoga Classes

Every Tuesday &

Thursday4:30 to 5:30 pm

- Mariah Rose Crump, Certified Yoga Instructor

Practicing Yoga is both great for the mind and the body, it strengthens and lengthens. This week’s pose creates space in the side body and builds strength in the legs and core. While it is ideal to spend a few moments set-tling in before you practice this posture can be practiced without warming the body. To come into Reverse War-rior Two begin by coming into Warrior Two; back toes turned in slightly, the mid-dle front toe points forward, knee and ankle of the front leg are in alignment, chal-lenge your body by sitting deeply take the front knee to a 90 degree angle. Electrify this posture by actively reach both forward and back -- feel your heart open and the mus-cles of your arms fire. To tran-sition into Reverse Warrior Two reach the front arm high into the sky as the back arm reaches for the earth -- you can play with straight arms or bent arms or wrapping the lower arm around the back of the body. Remember while it is very important to attain proper alignment it is also essential to be playful with your practice, enjoy the free-dom of being creative within your practice. When ap-proaching your practice ask yourself, why do I practice? What is my intention? What do I want from this practice

and what am I willing to give to the practice? We learn most when we ask questions, when we test our limits and when we are willing to open our minds to the possibility. This too takes practice and practice makes possible.

Benefits• Strengthens and lengthens the legs and ankles and the space between the ribs• Stretches the groin, chest and lungs, shoulder• Stimulates internal organs

CautionsBe mindful of the neck, gaze in a direction that feels safe and comfortable.

Peeling away the layersAs you dig deeper into your practice you may find that certain poses elicit a certain emotions; tune into this. Sometimes less is more, sometimes longer is better, sometimes Childs Pose is better than Down Dog. The practice can be as complex or simple as you want it to be.
