Lucy Odipo could be
retired and living comfortably after twenty years of working as a
secretary at Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya. Before her
retirement in 2001, she had saved a good deal of money to invest.
However, Lucy decided, instead, to use her only savings to help the
less fortunate in the Nairobi slums. In the same year as her
retirement, she mobilized a group of women to start cleaning up the
slums. They also washed clothing for the sick and provided food and
clothing for the poor.

Ask Mr. Smart Alec (A Little
Smart...A Lot Alec) is part of an on-going humorous look at some of the
issues that we face in our daily lives. Mr. Smart Alec is the alter
ego of a most-the-time local resident, who's name is available upon
request. You can also contact Mr. Smart Alec yourself. So let him
know what's buggin you and he'll give you an answer.This weeks question comes from "an interested reader" who
asks: "Hey, why doesn't the Valley have more recycling?"
Answer: Well duh, I
mean cycling is pretty fun but riding over the same route over and over would
be really boring ---Oh, pardonnez'moi, it's my Mother calling...
"Hello, what? You're kidding! Really. Uh huh, uh huh, bins you say...OK, got it. Sheesh, thanks Mom. Bye."
Uhhhmm. I ‘m
back.Of course Mr. Smart Alec knows
all about recycling, as in you know bottles and cans and paper and all
that. Mr. Smart Alec is an avid recycler of all things recyclable (if this included bicycle tires one would
have the "recycle cycle" --Heh heh, Mr .Smart Alec is such a wit--). Anyhoo, this whole recycling deal is all about
(let me just check my notes) oh yeah, the right bins.

This week's question was posed by Ogden Valley Magazine
founder/publisher Bryan J. Smith who asks: "Hey, look at these photos - is
litter really a problem in our Valley?"
Answer: Well,
DUH! Anyone with half a brain would be
disgusted that this perfect place to which many of us have migrated would
be...well, literally littered with litter.
Now that Mr. Smart Alec has answered that totally foolish
question, let's get on to Mr. Smart Alec's real smarty point for the week,
"Karmic healing through litter cleanup."
