Any customer who pays a City of Burley electric bill whatever action is necessary regulation ... was necessary policy coordination to When: Friday March 20th, from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm

Why: A major substation supplying power to the City of Burley must be turned off for maintenance on some equipment.

What can customers do? Use only the electrical energy you really need during those hours. Examples: delay running dishwashers, clothes washers & dryers until the afternoon. Enjoy a sandwich for lunch.

What will the City do? We shall reduce our electric load by handling all water and sewer consumption with generators. We shall connect all our customers to our alternate substation with the goal of keeping power on for everybody. However, if the load is too much, the City will have to turn off power to part of its customers for a few hours. This would then switch to other customers a little later.

Questions: Please call the Electric Department at 878-2538.

Our goal is to keep power on for everyone during the entire equipment maintenance schedule.

My real disgust, however, is reserved for the tooth fairy, an imaginary con artist who makes Bernie Madoff look like a two-bit piker. Why am I in a barking rage? Because with three kids between ages 12 and 7,there are baby teeth scattered throughout my house. My first-grader is working on his teeth like a roofer who pulls shingles. In the past two weeks, he’s yanked four and I don’t think he’s done for the month. Obviously, what the boy wants is more money for his teeth. His first loss came while at my sister’s house in Boise. My wife, not thinking about the precedent she was about to set, shoved $2 under MEAGAN THOMPSON/Times-News his pillow. Newlyweds Destiny and Justin Earl are preparing for a new addition to their family, but with medical expenses and a cut in work hours for Maybe I’m not keeping up Destiny, it seems like a rough road ahead. ‘The bills are just racking up,’Justin says. An illness that occurred in December will send Destiny into on the Consumer Price Index, surgery later this spring, and she faced a lapse of insurance coverage as she shifted from her parent’s plan to her husband’s. The Earls’ dream is but that’s an absurd price for to buy a house, but health must come first — so they are living in a cramped apartment in Filer until they can afford to buy. a baby tooth.

So eventually, good old Dad hen Destiny Earl got married last autumn, threw his arm into the sink, just to retrieve the tooth. things were looking up. Mark that down as yet another episode of what they don’t W cover in parenting books. She wed her husband, Justin, in Harry When you’re digging teeth out of the sink, it’s probably Barry Park in Twin Falls on one of the warmest, sunniest time to set new priorities. And the tooth fairy is in the doghouse. Remember, we’re days in October. They moved to an apartment in Filer and talking about a make-believe phantom who enters kids’ thought optimistically about their future. rooms late at night, and takes a body part in exchange for But now Earl is worried about losing her job, and with it money.

According to the Dictionary of American Folklore, the ritual of See CHANGES, Family Life 3 exchange associated with the tooth fairy has some ancient origin. Commonly seen as a passage from infancy to childhood, the loss of baby teeth has also been celebrated by throwing them to the sun, to an animal or over the roof, or placing them in a tree.
