Telluride playlist for Portland ~ Friday, October 22, 2010
The Blueline
Bryan Smith; 2009; Canada; 5 min; Focus: Adrenaline
Take a rope, stretch it taut across a yawning gorge and then walk across it while tethered by only a leash and harness. This is the formula for high lining—an intense and highly exposed sport that athlete Robin Avery and friends practice over a precipitous canyon in this short film about heights, exposure and the relationship between man and a thin blue line.
Eastern Rises
Ben Knight & Travis Rummell; 2010; USA; 37 min; Focus: Adventure
Last year we showed their award winning film, Red Gold. The Kamchatka peninsula in the Russian Far East may as well be at the end of the earth. Its enormous, wild landscape is threaded with rivers, swimming with massive mouse-eating trout and swarming with bugs and bears. In other words, this place is the Holy Grail for truly obsessed, halfway insane fly fishermen.
Fishman
Kathy Kasic; 2009; USA; 11 min; Focus: Adventure
For Mike Kasic, the Yellowstone River represents the West as it’s meant to be— wild, fast and free flowing. Mike should know: He spends a lot of time swimming the Yellowstone, looking for fish and almost becoming one himself. In particular, he looks for the native Yellowstone cutthroat trout that represents, for him, the soul
of the river.
Hawaii Wave Ski
Mike Douglas; 2009; 7 min; Focus: Adventure
Pro freeskier Cody Townsend grew up surfing in Santa Cruz and skiing in Lake Tahoe, and ever since he was a kid, he’s been harboring a crazy dream to combine the two sports. In Hawaii Wave Skiing, he does just that.
Play Gravity: Chugach
Samuel Gyger; 2007, Switzerland; 6 min; Adrenaline
No matter how many adrenaline films you’ve seen, you’ll be astonished by the antics of these athletes. Ueli Kestenholz executes breathtaking lines in the Chugach Range of Alaska providing a rare, first person glimpse into the dangerous world of big mountain snowboarding.
Mouse that Soared
Kyle Bell; 2009, US; 6 min, ,
Step right up and see the hair-raising adventures of a flying circus mouse! Witness the story of how an orphan foundling learns lessons in life and flight from his adoptive songbird parents. Come one, come all to this high-flying tale of beating the odds!
Last Paradise
Clive Neeson; 2010; New Zealand; 10 min; Focus: Adventure
Director Clive Neeson, armed with footage from 45 years of extreme sports pioneers in the wilds of New Zealand, has made a film about the unique time when such outdoor sports as bungee jumping were created. We’re showing just one of these amazing stories from the film: It involves Telluride local Jeff Campell, skiing,
glaciers and Levi’s jeans.
Man vs. Eiger
Peter Mortimer & Nick Rosen; 2009; USA; 25 min; Focus: Adrenaline
The famous North Face of the Eiger is revered among climbers, not only for the quality of its rock but also for its intimidating dimensions and technical challenges. This lethal exposure has tested the limits of climbing for the past century.

How nutrition can affect attention and behavior in our children
They Are What You Feed Them: How nutrition can affect attention and behavior in our children
6:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 26, 2010
The CDC estimates that at least 7% of school aged children suffer from attention deficit disorder and as many as 5 million children are taking medication to treat it. Although stimulant medications can be effective for some children, they aren’t always and they can sometimes have unwanted side effects. There is also concern that long term use of stimulant medications may increase risk of drug dependence and depression. Fortunately, medication is not the only option for helping your child. Numerous studies have shown that dietary changes and correcting nutritional insufficiencies can have an effect on improving attention and behavioral symptoms.
Why let your child struggle through another school year? Join Dr Peter Knight as he discusses the relationship between nutrition and attention and behavior. He will provide simple changes that you can make to your child’s diet that can have profound effects on their behavior and ability to focus.

Upcoming School Board Meetings for Falmouth Maine
The Falmouth School District is now back in full swing, and the Administrators and the School Board members have spent time this summer preparing for the challenges that lie ahead. To that end, we have developed topics for the Board workshops up through this coming spring. They are as follows:
November 1, 2010:
1. How can we set appropriate goals and evaluate our world languages programs?
2. What does the research tell us are the benefits of an all day kindergarten program? What options might we consider?
December 6, 2010:
1. What farm-to-school program opportunities are available to Falmouth? What costs and benefits might we anticipate if we expand the more modest program that currently exists?
2. What is the status of transition planning K-5 and 6-8? What other issues remain?
January 3, 2010:
1. What are the class size numbers and teacher: student ratios we are experiencing this year across the district? What changes are anticipated?
2. Does the list of tiered reductions previously proposed still make sense as we approach budget priorities for FY12?
February 7, 2010:
1. What are our budget priorities for FY12?
March 7, 2010:
1. What are our budget priorities for FY12?
April 4, 2010:
1. What were some of the big ideas raised at the recent Community Dialogue? Which of those would the Board suggest are critical in the next two-year plan?
May 2 and June 6: TBD
Board workshops are generally held on the first Monday of the month in the FHS Music Room at 7pm.
