SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- Ever carve a 75-pound pumpkin?  It can't be an easy task, unless you're master pumpkin-carver Linda Rettinger, who's also a licensed massage therapist.

Rettinger, a highly respected Shamanic Intuitive, spent the morning scraping and carving the huge beast of a squash at the Grey Hawk Bashas' grocery store in north Scottsdale.

The pumpkin was raffled off at 5 p.m. Wednesday to raise money for the International Council of Indigenous Grandmothers.

Rettinger is helping to bring the 13 council members to Arizona for a conference on November 29.
