We believe and practice being fully involved with the communities we serve.

This is essential in building good will, encouraging growth and above all staying connected in our backyard

Years ago I decided to go skiingwith his buddy.So wey loaded up my then

minivan and headed north.After driving for a fewhours, we got caught in aterrible snow storm.

We pulled into anearby farm and askedthe attractive lady who

answered the door ifwe could spend thenight.

"I realize its terri-ble weather out

there and I havethis huge houseall to myself,but I'm re-

cently wid-owed,' sheexplained.

'I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house.''Don't worry,' I said, 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn, and if the weather breaks,

we'll be gone at first light.'The lady agreed, and the two of us found our way to the barn and settled in for the

night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, andwe got on their way.

We enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.But about nine months later, I got an unex-

pected letter from an attorney.It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but

I finally determined that it was from the attor-ney of that attractive widow I had met on theski weekend.

I dropped in on my Ski friend and asked, 'do

you remember that good-looking widow fromthe farm we stayed at on our ski holiday upnorth about 9 months ago?'

'Yes, I do.' he said'Did you happen to get up in the middle of the

night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?''Well, um, yes!,' he said, a little embarrassed

about being found out, 'I have to admit that Idid.'

'And did you happen to give her my name in-stead of telling her your name?'

His face turned beet red and he said, 'Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy, I'm afraid I did.Why do you ask?'

'She just died and left me everything.'And you thought the ending would be little bit different, didn't you?...You know you

smiled... Now keep that smile for the rest of the day!

Palos Verdes TelevisionChannel 33 Live at the venue.

Dale DunnRemembered and Revered:

On Saturday, September 7,friends and family gathered atthe Waterfront Beach Resort

to honor the memory and celebratethe life of one of Huntington Beachsmost adored and respected citizens,Dale L. Dunn.

Dale was born in Hutchinson,Kansas and retained the soft twang,manners and work ethic of the Mid-west in which he was raised, joinedthe Marine Corps, and met the love ofhis life, his cherished wife, Ellen. Butin the end, he was quintessential SurfCity at least the part that representsthe best of us.

Dale and Ellen made the move toHuntington Beach (a place he called

Paradise) in 1966, where theywould raise their three daughters.Dale embarked on a successful bank-ing career and a second career involunteerism that would impact this

community and benefit even thosewho would never know him.

Serving as director and president ofthe Huntington Beach Rotary Club,Dale was the driving force behindpurchasing over 12,000 books forlocal elementary school libraries. He

was awarded Rotarys highest honor,the Paul Harris Fellow award. And,the next time you are enjoying a won-derful concert in Central Park, underthe fantastic band shell, you can thankDale Dunn and Rotary for that, too.

Dales reach extended to everycorner of the community, making adifference in what really makes thistown work.

He was a longtime member of theHuntington Beach Chamber of Com-merce, including serving on the boardof directors and as president. He wasa director and president of the Hunt-

ington Beach Conference and VisitorsBureau (now Marketing and VisitorsBureau), President of the HuntingtonBeach Council on Aging, inauguralmember of the Duck-a-Thon commit-tee and Deacon of his church, St.Peters by the Sea. And, that is liter-ally just the tip of the iceberg.

Dale received the first Senior Vol-unteer Extraordinaire award from theCouncil on Aging; was named Hunt-ington Beach Outstanding Citizen ofthe year in 1993 (which also broughtpersonal meeting for he and Ellenwith former president, Ronald Rea-

gan), and Community Grand Mar-

shall of the citys 2004 Fourth of Julyparade, during the celebration of ourcitys Centennial year.

There is so much more that could besaid about the boards and commis-sions on which he served, the acts ofvolunteerism he engaged in, and thelasting influence he leaves on ourcommunity. Above all, he was a manwho loved his God and his family.There was no mistaking his ongoinglove affair with his cherished wife,Ellen. Seeing them walk in a room,often holding hands, impeccablydressed and coiffed, one could still seethose kids who met on a blind date atKansas University. He loved her, yes,but he genuinely respected and ad-

mired her, too.So, in addition to making a donationto one of the organizations listedbelow, lets try to honor the life of ourbeloved Dale Dunn by taking a page

from his story: Fall in love with yourspouse every day. Let your devotionto God play out in every aspect ofyour life. Speak softly and carry a bigheart. Be authentic, respectful andkind. Find something that needs doingand do it with joy.

If we can try to emulate Dale, hisabsence from our lives and our com-munity might be just a little easier tobear. I know hed like that.

Dunn, Dale was 84 when he passedpeacefully after a year of declininghealth. Dale is predeceased by Ellen,is wife of 59 years; his parents; his sis-ter, Charlotte; and his daughter, BethEllen. He is survived by daughters,Janie White and husband, Brett; andStacy Pierce and husband, Joe; grand-children, Kendra Terlouw and hus-band, Marcel, Garett White and wife,Brittany, and Taryn and Chase

Lawrence; and great grandchildren,Ava, Audrey and Scott Terlouw.

In lieu of flowers, donations maybe made in his memory to: DaleDunn Memorial Fund, St. Peter's bythe Sea, 16911 Bolsa Chica, Hunt-ington Beach, 92647; CommunityCare Health Centers, 8041 NewmanAve., Huntington Beach, 92647;Huntington Beach Rotary Club,P.O. Box 1433, Huntington Beach,92647; or Huntington Beach Coun-cil on Aging, 1706 Orange Ave.,Huntington Beach, 92648.

Thank you Cynthia Cross for your

contribution.

Memories of Dale He and wife Ellen often ate popcorn and cham-pagne for Friday night dinners.

Dale was a member of the 5 Gallon Club fordonating blood to the American Red Cross

He once played former mayor Ralph Bauer (andsang!) and did the moonwalk in productions of theHuntington Beach Follies.

He referred to his white van as Vanna White.

He appeared in the Mr. Sandman number (in avariety show to benefit city schools). He utteredonly one word: Yes, but brought down the house.

The man was ALWAYS dressed for success andsmelled good!

Michael Reaganon The Butler

T

here you go again, Holly-wood. Youve taken a great

story about a real person andreal events and twisted it into a bunchof lies.

You took the true story of whoserved eight presidents from 1952 to1986, and turned it into a clichdmessage movie.

Lee Daniels The Butler starsForest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, afictional character supposedly basedon Eugene Allens real life. But letscompare the two White House but-lers.:

A) Guess which one grew up insegregated Virginia, got a job at the

White House and rose to becomematre dhtel, the highest position inWhite House service?

B) Guess which one had a happy,quiet life and was married to thesame woman for 65 years?

C) And who had one son whoserved honorably in Vietnam and

never made a peep of protest throughthe pre- and post-civil rights era?

D) Now guess which butler grewup on a Georgia farm, watched the

boss rape his mother and then, whenhis father protested the rape, watchedthe boss put a bullet through his fa-thers head?

E) Guess which butler feels thepain of Americas racial injustices sodeeply that he quits his White Housejob and joins his son in a protestmovement?

F) And guess which butler has awife (Oprah Winfrey) who becomesan alcoholic and has a cheap affairwith the guy next door? (Im sur-prised it wasnt the vice president.)

After comparing Hollywoods ab-

surd version of Eugene Allens lifestory with the truth, you wonder whythe producers didnt just call it TheButler from Another Planet.

"Screenwriter" Danny Strongsays he was trying to present abackstage kind of view of the WhiteHouse that portrayed presidents andfirst ladies as they really were ineveryday life.

Well, I was backstage at the WhiteHouse a few hundred times. I metand knew the real butler, Mr. Allen,and I knew a little about my father.

Portraying Ronald Reagan as a

racist because he was in favor of lift-

ing economic sanctions againstSouth Africa is simplistic and dis-

honest.If you knew my father, youd know

he was the last person on Earth youwould call a racist.

If Strong had gotten his factsfrom the Reagan biographies:

A) hed have learned that when myfather was playing football at EurekaCollege one of his best friends was ablack teammate.

B) Strong also would have learnedthat my father invited black playershome for dinner and once, when twoplayers were not allowed to stay inthe local hotel, he invited them to

stay overnight at his house.C) Screenwriter Strong also mighthave found out that when my fatherwas governor of California he ap-pointed more blacks to positions ofpower than any of his predecessors combined.

Its appalling to me that someone

is trying to imply my father was aracist. He and Nancy and the rest ofthe Reagan family treated Mr. Allenwith the utmost respect.

D) It was Nancy Reagan who in-vited the butler to dinner not towork but as guest.

E) And it was my father who pro-moted Mr. Allen to matre dhtel.

The real story of the White Housebutler doesnt imply racism at all. Itssimply Hollywood liberals wantingto believe something about my fatherthat was never there.

My fathers position on lifting theSouth African sanctions in the 80shad nothing to do with the narrowissue of race. It had to do with thegeopolitics of the Cold War.

But facts dont matter to Holly-woods creative propagandists. Truthis too complicated and not dramaticenough for scriptwriters, who thinkin minute terms, not the big picture,when it comes to a conservative.

Despite what Hollywoods liberalhacks believe, my father didnt seepeople in colors. He saw them as in-dividual Americans. If the liberals inHollywood and Washington ever start looking at people the wayhe did, the country will be a lot betteroff.Michael Reagan is the son of

President Ronald Reagan.

PompousPredictions of

Impending Doomby: Bill Borden

Rest easy, gentle readers.Despite the dire predic-tions you read about in

this fine newspaper, Time Mag-azine, USA Today and espe-cially anything fabricated by theAssociated Press, the sky is notfalling, the Earth is not gettingany warmer, fracking will notpollute the water table and

transgender chil-dren will not be psychologically harmedby using the bathroom intendedfor their biological gender.

I have had the good fortune tohave been on Earth for morethan three quarters of a cen-tury and have heard most ofthis and more before.

Lets start with thecommonly accepted in social, educationaland politically liberalcircles that the Earthis warming. Yes, yes I

can see the emailsabout my being a di-nosaur now, but evendinosaurs benefitfrom experience.

Back in 1972, thescientific communitywas all agog aboutthe certainty ofglobal cooling andits life-threatening im-pact on us all. Time Mag-azine trumpeted aUniversity of Miami studyby marine geologist Cesar

Emiliani that clearly indicateddoom for all living creatures.Emiliani and his staff studiedthe remains of time sea animals tosubstantiate his findings.

Emilianis findings seemed a little fishy to me, but nomore suspect than those of global warming guru DanCayan of the Scrips Institution of Oceanography. Cayanrecently came up with a 258-page report, costing$282,000, indicating that theres certainly reason forconcern, and further that the states temperature hasrisen 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit over the past 118 years.Cayan said nothing about the temperature nationwide or,heaven forbid, worldwide.

Media speak about catastrophic science has alwaysbeen more popular than reporting accurate science. InJuly 1977, Science Digest warned us that the worldsclimatologists are agreed that we must prepare for thenext ice age. In 1975, the Chicago Tribune published aseries of dire climatic predictions like this: The worldssnow and ice cover has increased by at least 10 to 15 per-cent.

The people in the avant garde of weather analysis havealways given us mixed signals. In 1975, the NationalAcademy of Science and the National Center for Atmos-pheric Research say that and reported that there were nosigns of any global warming. In 1989, the U.S. Com-merce Departments National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration reported that there had been no significantchange in average temperature in the 48 contiguousstates. Are we to believe that science is now infallible?

As if we are not sufficiently worried about the unsub-stantiated reports of fewer polar bears in the Arctic Circle,media Chicken Littles are now warning us about the evilsof fracking.

Simply stated, fracking is the infusion of water, sand,and chemicals into a well, creating small fracturesthrough which oil and gas are extracted. Naturally, thisprocess greatly increases the productivity of each well.

This reasonable and efficient method of using our oiland gas resources has been used

safely for many years but this

does not deter the Green Partyand other opponents from coming

up with all manner of outra-geous claims about the dan-

gers of fracking.Among them are the usualsuspects: contamination of

ground water, diminished airquality and overuse of fresh

water. Even though there isabsolutely no scientific ev-idence of these so-callednegative impacts andfracking has been con-ducted safely since 1947

in more than one milliondomestic wells, theFearless FrackingFighters march on.

These two relativelyestablished predictionsof certain doom arenow eclipsed by the in-credible peril our chil-

dren face whiledetermining which bath-

room to use at school whentheir bladders are full.My solution is insensitive at

best, but here goes. They should

use the one appropriate for the gen-der given to them at birth.Bill Borden is a freelance news-

paper columnist residing in Rancho Mi-rage. You may reach him at [email protected]

Dear Editor: Please have Bill

write about more happy things...

Life is tough enough!

We may be obsessed with looking younger, but we're in awe of the peoplewho live to see their 100th birthdays and beyond. To what do these cen-tenarians attribute their long, long lives? The answers may surprise you.

BACONPearl Cantrell, 105, attributes her long and healthy life to bacon. "I love

bacon, I eat it everyday," she told NBC affiliate KRBC. "I don't feel as old asI am, that's all I can say." Cantrell, who lives in central Texas and has outlivedthree of her seven children, spent her life doing hard labor outdoors; she stillsews, goes to church, and goes out dancing on Saturday nights. ("It was coun-try dancing, waltzing, and two stepping," she says.) Her most-recent birthdaywas a three-day-long celebration with more than 200 guests. Bacon, however,is what really kept her going; Oscar Meyer recently sent her a delivery of thesmoked-and-cured meat, and she ended up riding around town in the iconicWeinermobile.

OLIVE OIL, PORT, AND CHOCOLATEJeanne Calment, who died in 1997 at age 122, never let her age get in the

way of doing whatever she wanted. She took up fencing at 85, rode her bikeuntil she was 100, and didn't even quit smoking untilshe was 117, The New York Times reported. When sheturned 121, she reportedly walked all over her home-town of Arles, France, to thank the people who hadwished her well. But staying active and lighting upweren't the things she says kept her young; she givescredit to olive oil, which she poured on her food andused on her skin, drinking port wine, and eating abouttwo pounds of chocolate every week. "I've never hadbut one wrinkle," she used to tell her friends, "and I'm

sitting on it."

STRESSHelen Reichert, 109, chalks her advanced age up to

stress or, rather, on knowing how to bounce back from it. "You don't get tobe 109 without life hurling a few curve balls at you, and Reichert has hadmore than her share. And after each, she dusts herself off and moves on," herdoctor, Dr. Mark Lachs, told NPR in 2011. "A few years back, she had a mod-est stroke that affected her language abilities. I don't think I've seen a patientof any age tackle rehabilitation and speech therapy the way she did." She alsoknows how to indulge: She eats chocolate truffles, and her favorite beverageis Budweiser. "She once announced to me that she was thinking about smokingagain," Lachs said. "When I protested, she reminded me that she has outlivedseveral other physicians and told me to mind my own business."

EXTREME SPORTSPeggy McAlpine, 105, became the oldest woman to paraglide in 2007, when

she was 99 years old. When a 101-year-old from Utah broke her record, shetook to the skies again at 104, leaping off of a 2,400-foot peak in northernCyprus, where she lives and she didn't let the fact that she's in a wheelchairstop her. "I enjoyed every minute of it. It was better than the last time," shetold the Daily Mail in 2012. "I would certainly like to do it again especiallyif anyone takes my record." She said that she has "loved heights" ever sinceshe was a young girl, and caught the extreme sports bug when she was 80,after her grandchildren persuaded her to try bungee jumping. "I climbed tothe top and looked down and saw the people like ants and my heart sank," sheremembered. "But I'd gone so far, I couldn't stop. So I stepped on the platformand drew up my courage and leaped from the top."

EATING THE SAME THING EVERY DAY

Emiliano Mercado Del Toro, 115, credits a daily diet of funche a stew

made of boiled corn, codfish, and cream for his long and healthy life, thoughhe admits that having a keen sense of humor may also have had something todo with it. He loves to tell jokes and stories, and says that he was at a nightclubin Puerto Rico when the owner was assassinated. The then 82-year-old hidunder a table "praying or at least I was when the bullets started flying!"

DOING WHAT YOU LOVEDr. Laila Denmark, 114, didn't like to talk about her age. She was a doctor

in Atlanta for 73 years, retiring at 103 only because she couldn't see as well asshe used to, her daughter, Mary Denmark Hutcherson, told the Atlanta JournalConstitution. The first female pediatrician in Georgia, Denmark a motherof five said that her secret to longevity wasn't that complicated. You keepon doing what you do best as long as you can, she told her local newspaperin 2006, five years after she retired. I enjoyed every minute of it for morethan 70 years. If I could live it over again, I'd do exactly the same thing andmarry the same man.

Do what you want and eat what you want (and don't exercise). Vivian Hen-schke, 109, smoked for most of her life, had two cocktails before dinner nearlyevery night, and ate whatever she wanted, according to her daughter, Karen

Preston. "Mother did nothing by today's standards tohelp her have great longevity," Preston told Everyday-health.com, adding that Henschke also "never exer-cised a day in her life." She enjoyed dancing, but toldher local newspaper that it wasn't part of her secret tolongevity. "No," she explained. "I married a man whodidn't dance." Instead, she says she lived to a ripe oldage because she "did what ever I wanted . when Igo to a party, I am going to have a highball."

HAVE A HOBBYLouis Charpentier, 100, worked as a landscaper and

has always exercised, but he attributes his long life tostaying active in his community and to maintaining

the 265 Christmas-themed foam carvings in his yard. Wood and foam carvingsare his hobby, and he works on them every day. To live a long life, "keep busydoing what you like," he suggests. And don't go crazy at dinner. "I dont eatvery much," he admits, "but I always eat a fruit, a vegetable, and a little meat,and I always make sure that I get sardines and salmon at least once or twice aweek."

DRINK SCOTCHLille Magette, 101, once led a group of U.S. Army nurses who landed on

Utah Beach just after the Normandy invasion, working to care for woundedsoldiers during World War II. She says that her love of knowledge, travel, and

fitness keeps her young. Anything else? "A little scotch," she admits. Satis-faction also plays a part. Ive seen the world and Ive traveled extensively,"she said on her 100th birthday. "I've had a beautiful life, and I love everyone."

BE CURIOUS ABOUT LIFEIrving Kahn, 107, is the world's oldest stockbroker, starting on Wall Street

in 1928. "This was before the Depression," he told New York Magazine in2011. He says he's never had a life-threatening illness, doesn't take cholesterolor blood-pressure medicine, and maintains a positive attitude people half hisage would envy. "I don't worry about dying," he said. Instead, he reads threenewspapers a day and watches C-Span to keep his mind sharp. He's read thou-sands of books, all of them non-fiction "Mostly I'm interested in what's onthe edges: solar energy, sending vehicles beyond the moon," he says andis determined to stay curious about life. If youre alive, you might yet findthe answer to something, he explained. The puzzle you couldnt solve be-

fore. The capacity to enjoy learning is what matters.

New YorkJets fansmay be in for alosing season on

the field while adding inches to their waistlines.A paper recently published in Psychological

Science, the flagship journal of the Associationfor Psychological Science, suggests that fans oflosing NFL teamstend to eat morethan fans of win-ning teams. Thepaper was writtenby Pierre Chan-

don, the LOrealChaired Profes-sor of Marketing,Innovation andCreativity at IN-STEAD BusinessSchool and hisPhD student,Yann Cornil. Itwas based on a study they conducted of NFL andsoccer fans and covered a total of 475 games overtwo seasons.

To the average person, the findings of the studyare wholly understandable. After all, most of ustend to eat more when were sad, stressed or

upset. Impugning such conduct to sports fansmay not be much of a stretch. Its not difficult to

envision fans of losing teams, despondent overlosses, drowning their sorrow in an extra jellydonut while winning fans are too busy celebrat-ing their teams victory to reach for another sliceof chocolate cake.

But sadness over their favorite teams loss maynot fully explain fans extra caloric intake. In aneffort to determine the reasons behind fans be-

havior the researcherscame to this conclu-sion: Fans of win-ning teams tend tofeel a boost in self-control, which al-

lows them to resistthe temptation toovereat. Con-versely, fans of los-ing teams feel anidentity threatwhich motivatesthem to eat morecalories.

According to the study, losing fans not only atemore food than winning fans - 16% more thanthey would normally eat on the day after theirteam lost but the food they consumed tended tobe less healthy. This is especially true if the de-feats were narrow, unexpected, and against an

opponent of the same strength. On the otherhand, on the day after a victory, winning fans not

only ate less overall 5% fewer calories - theyate 9% less saturated fat.

Jets fans may find themselves particularly sus-ceptible to Chandons phenomenon. WhenCoach Rex Ryan sent starting quarterback MarkSanchez back into the fray during the fourth quar-ter of a meaningless preseason game, only tohave Sanchez suffer a shoulder injury, most ob-servers derisively accused Ryan of forfeiting the2013 season. True or not, the Jets are primed tofinish among the also-rans in the AFC.

Its unlikely that more than a handful of sportsfans have heard of PSS or the study that portrayssome of them in a gluttonous light. Fans just

want their team to win, studies and extra weight be damned. But the consequences of ignoringthe studys conclusions may be harmful to oneshealth. Jets fans beware: Your weight and cho-lesterol levels may increase as the NFL seasonprogresses.

Iam a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors wasJewish. And it does not bother me even a little bitwhen people call those beautiful lit up, bejewelled

trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. Idon't feel discriminated against. That's whatthey are, Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say,'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they areslighting me or getting ready to put me in aghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that weare all brothers and sisters celebrating this happytime of year. It doesn't bother me at all that thereis a manger scene on display at a key intersec-tion near my beach house in Malibu . If peoplewant a crche, it's just as fine with me as is theMenorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being aJew, and I don't think Christians like gettingpushed around for being Christians. I think peo-ple who believe in God are sick and tired of get-ting pushed around, period. I have no ideawhere the concept came from, that America isan explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in theConstitution and I don't like it being shoveddown my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the ideacome from that we should worship celebrities and wearen't allowed to worship God ? I guess that's a sign thatI'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who arewondering where these celebrities came from and wherethe America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for alaugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be ajoke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the EarlyShow and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God letsomething like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Kat-

rina).. Anne Graham gave an extremely profound andinsightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeplysaddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've beentelling God to get out of our schools, to get out of ourgovernment and to get out of our lives. And being thegentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.How can we expect God to give us His blessing and Hisprotection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, schoolshootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Mur-

ray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a fewyears ago) complained she didn't want prayer in ourschools, and we said OK. Then someone said you bet-

ter not read the Bible in school. The Biblesays thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal,and love your neighbor as yourself. And wesaid OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn'tspank our children when they misbehave, be-cause their little personalities would be warpedand we might damage their self-esteem (Unfor-tunately, Dr. Spock's son committed suicide).We said an expert should know what he's talk-ing about. And we said okay.

Now we're asking ourselves why our chil-dren have no conscience, why they don't know

right from wrong, and why it doesn't botherthem to kill strangers, their classmates, andthemselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hardenough, we can figure it out. I think it has agreat deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WESOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trashGod and then wonder why the world's going to hell.Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, butquestion what the Bible says. Funny how you can send'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, butwhen you start sending messages regarding the Lord,people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd,crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely throughcyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressedin the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Dear EarthTalk:Might another possi-

ble source for ethanolbe discarded pastries from

bakeries? For that matter, wouldntfermenting unsold bananas, oranges and apples from grocerystore produce departments be able to provide an ample supplyof fuel? ~ Curious in Warren, PA

Food waste is indeed an untapped resource with greatpotential for generating energy. Some one third of allfood produced around the world gets discarded uneaten,and environmentalists, energy analysts and entrepreneursare beginning to take notice. Diverting even just a portionof this waste to so-called waste-to-energy (WTE) systemscould free uplarge amounts oflandfill spacewhile poweringour vehicles andheating ourhomes, and thus

putting a signifi-cant dent in ourcollective carbonfootprint. Perhapsthats why WTEis one of thefastest growingsegments of theworlds quicklydiversifying en-ergy sector.

Currently thereare some 800 in-d u s t r i a l - s c a l eWTE plants in more than three dozen countries around theworld, and likely thousands of smaller systems at individ-ual sites. Most employ anaerobic digesters, which makeuse of microorganisms to break down and convert organic

waste into a fuel such as biogas, biodiesel or ethanol. Withsome 70 percent of food waste around the world still going

into landfills, there is a lot of potential feedstock to keepthis environmentally friendly carbon neutral fuel sourcecoming.

Waste-to-energy doesnt involve drilling, fracking, or

mining, and it doesnt rely on scarce and politically-charged resources like oil, reports RWL Water Group, aninternational company that installs water, wastewater andwaste-to-energy systems. The waste from small slaughter-houses, breweries, dairy farms and coffee shops can powerhundreds of typical homes each day if the infrastructure isin place to sort, collect and process the flow of organic ma-terial.

Navigant Research, which produced the 2012 reportWaste-to-Energy Technology Markets, which analyzes theglobal market opportunity for WTE, expects waste-to-en-

ergy to grow from its current market size of $6.2 billion to$29.2 billion by 2022. With many countries facing dra-matic population growth, rapid urbanization, rising levelsof affluence, and resource scarcity, waste-to-energy is re-

establishing itself as an attractive technology option to pro-mote low carbon growth in the crowded renewable energy

landscape, says Navigants Mackinnon Lawrence. Chinais already in the midst of scaling up capacity, and growththere is expected to shift the center of the WTE universeaway from Europe to Asia Pacific.

The question is whether governments and individualswill make the effort to support diversion of waste into yetanother separate stream. In areas where such systems areworking, individuals are incentivized to separate out theirorganic and food waste because it saves them money ontheir trash pick-up bills. And bakeries, restaurants, farms,grocers and other big producers of organic or food wasteprovide an endless source of feedstock for WTE systemsas well.

Were barely scratching the surface of this potentialdumping over 70 percent of the worlds food waste intolandfills, rather than harnessing it for fuel and electricity,reports RWL. Over the next 25 years, global energy de-mand will grow by 50 percent, while global oil supplydwindles at a rapid pace. Waste-to-energy is an obvious so-lution to meet the worlds burgeoning energy demand.

W

ine enthusiasts are always look-ing for an experience that'scompletely arresting -- a wine

that stops you in your tracks, makes theroom go silent, and just pulls you into theglass.

Sometimes, those wines are expensive -- perhaps opened at an extravagant wine dinnerwhere everyone brings a bottle to impress. Othertimes, they're ordered at a restaurant when one

hands the list back to the sommelier, requests anadventure, and is blown away by the results.

I'm electrified when these experiences happenwith wines made by friends. I'm hardly alone inthis sentiment.

A few weeks ago, Steve Matthiasson, a top vine-yard consultant in Napa Valley and one of Food

& Wine Magazine's 2012 Winemakers of the Year,

was asked about the wines that most excite him."Wines made
