Olympic sendoff for Arritola, Watanabe, Hamilton

Max Rudolph: Coming home

I’ve been traveling and living in far-flung coordinates, drinking in exotic cultures with each morning’s coffee. Max Rudolph here, checking in after a decade of wandering. I grew up here. I went to high school here. I skied, hiked, biked and played here until I set my sights on broader horizons. I’ve spent my days walking among strangers, observing landscapes and faces I’d never imagined I’d see. Pyramids, palaces, the Dead Sea, the Northern Lights, caravans, savannas … all contributing to a heady combination of nature and man that has finally satisfied a kind of restlessness in me that was bred by growing up in a small, familiar place. They say you can never go home again, but I’m out to prove

Going into the desert A s it turns out, the magic of Algeria and its light were by: BALI quickly SZABO dispelled by its reality. Cape Cod’s blend of land, light, sea and architecture is visually far more sophisticated and varied than the straightforward brilliance of North Africa. I was downright blasé. Algiers was shabby, the victim of a typically socialist (public) neglect. I stayed there because I had no money and couldn’t move. In Rome, I saw a poster in a travel office. It pictured an ochre adobe town named Ghardaia. It was love at first sight. The honeycombed adobe structures covered a small hill, topped with an African-style mosque, spiked rather than domed, and somewhat off-center, which is one of the great charms of adobe. This style can also be seen in the town of Djenne, in Mali. The town just oozed character. I knew I had to go there. After two weeks of pounding the pavement in the capitol, I scraped together enough money for a bus and simple accommodations for three nights. Heaven. When I’m photographing, my personal daily comforts always come second. The modern bus was full of soldiers on leave, heading for their various homes. It was 5 p.m. and they were partying. Wine and marijuana all around. Twenty minutes out of town, they discovered the exotic stranger in their midst—an American, no less—who spoke some French. All the more reason to party. Oh boy. Saying ‘no’ wasn’t an option. Pot and hashish are as North African as the camel and the souk, but not in strident, proper, socialist Algeria. Recreational drugs were strictly forbidden. So who smokes? The military. I wasn’t surprised. As Americans, we often go in search of the exotic. In the more remote parts of the Third World, we are the exotica. After a couple of hours, the good times turned to snores.

Some of the soldiers puked all over the floor, and it wasn’t long before the accumulated sour smell became a stomach-turning stench. Welcome to reality. In the all-night ride, we stopped twice to stretch our legs and to get some refreshments from the small roadhouses. The locals wore the long wool robes of day, though it was night. Now, at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it was cold, the wind had come up, and with it blown sand and silt. Tomorrow, the daytime temperatures would be 50 to 70 degrees higher, and the robes would stay on to keep out the sun, to prevent evaporation. Deserts are defined by their rate of evaporation and when that exceeds the rate of replenishment. Welcome to the Sahara. Though big, it is by no means the worst desert in the world.

Kristin Armstrong shares her authentic life By KAREN BOSSICK

F

or years Kristin Armstrong lived in Lance Armstrong’s shadow. She encouraged him as he fought testicular cancer. And she raised their three children in the French Riviera as he focused on winning five Tour de France competitions. That all came to an end in 2003 when the couple divorced. Now Armstrong, who worked in advertising and public relations before meeting Lance, has stepped into the spotlight. She’s written three books, including “Happily Ever After,� a devotional targeted at women going through divorce or other difficult times. She’s written about her marathon running as a contributing editor for “Runner’s World� magazine. She’s told how her faith helped her through her darkest moments on “Oprah,� “Good Morning America,� “Rachel Ray� and other TV programs. And on Saturday she will tell her story in Ketchum. Armstrong will give a free youth presentation at 2 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. She will follow that up at 3 p.m. with another presentation, a question-and-answer session and a book-signing for her new book, “Work in Progress: An Unfinished Woman’s Guide to Grace.� Cost for the 3 p.m. presentation is $15 for adults and $5 for students for the public. Armstrong will also attend a no-host cocktail reception in her honor from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sun Valley Inn.

Kristin Armstrong Three women—Chrissy Field, Cindy Kirk and Mary Fauth— are bringing Armstrong to Ketchum because they think she has some important messages she can share with men and women, athletes and children. Chrissy Field said she tuned into Kristin Armstrong and her work after her sister sent her

Armstrong’s latest book, “Work in Progress,� an easy-to-read book that touts that women’s strength lies “not in our edges, but in our curves,� and offers Armstrong’s tips for building trust with God: “Scour His word for His promises and put them to the test!� Field liked the book so well that not only did she mark dozens of pages, she purchased additional copies for her daughter and two friends. “Cindy Kirk and I were out hiking and we said we should bring her to talk to the women in our church,� she said. “Now it’s grown way beyond that— it’s not just for church women. It’s for everyone in the community—children, athletes, men, women.� Armstrong brings a wealth of springboards from which to talk, Field said. She’s battled with cancer. She’s spoken at Girls on the Run conventions. And she’s survived a very pub-

lic, difficult divorce, in which she and her “wasband,� as she calls Lance, have figured out a way to co-parent with mutual respect and love for the sake of their children.

“She came out the other side of that very difficult divorce stronger and more authentic,� Field said. “And I think that’s something all of us can learn twp from.�

Banff film festival; tandem biking By KAREN BOSSICK

I

n 2007, Dominic Gill decided to bicycle 32,000 kilometers from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina. But he didn’t do it alone. He picked up strangers along the way, asking them to help him pedal his tandem bicycle. His story is chronicled in the film, “Take a Seat.” And it will be one of 20 films shown during the three-day Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour 2010 in Ketchum. The film tour, which is marking its 10th anniversary of making a stop in Ketchum, will be held Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 4 through 6, at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St. “Every year I travel to the Banff Film Festival in Canada a bit nervous wondering if the filmmakers will be able to come up with enough movie material once again to hold up three nights of films in Ketchum,” said Michael Boge, who organizes the film tour in Ketchum. “And every year I’m pleasantly surprised. This year I had to make hard choices from five strong human interest feature films.” The Banff Mountain Film Festival, founded in 1976, features films ranging from a few minutes to an hour that offer cutting-edge looks at mountain sports and human interest films about cultures around the world. Proceeds from the event will go to the Friends of the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center and The Satipo Kids project, which enables 38 Peruvian children to attend school. One of the sixth-graders, whose mother sells cookies and candy on the street, recently took top honors in her class, Boge said. A raffle each night with prizes ranging from gift certificates to Ketchum restaurants to a Sun Valley Heli-Ski trip will benefit the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center, as will sales of pizza, drink and other refreshments. “We survive because of the Friends of the Avalanche Center,” said Janet Kellam, who heads up the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center. “Not only does it help fund our forecasters, but it gives us great exposure.” Film festival tickets are $15 each night, available in Ketchum at Chapter One Bookstore, Backwoods Mountain Sports, The Elephant’s Perch and at the door. Raffle tickets are available at Backwoods, The Elephant’s Perch and at the door. Here’s the schedule. Films range in length from a few minutes to an hour: Thursday “MedeoZ,” filmed in the Mont Blanc range of France, features six different mountain sports— climbing, skiing, snowboarding, speed riding, paragliding and BASE jumping. “Signatures: Canvas of Snow” features skiers, snowboarders, a photographer and a noboarder who are in tune to the Japanese sense that the rhythm of

fall, winter, spring and summer influences the rhythm of the person, their riding style and the lines they choose. “Take a Seat” features a young man who spends two years cycling 32,000 kilometers across two continents full of extraordinary characters and incidents. “Shining Spirit” spotlights two Tibetan men in exile as they sing with the family they left behind in Tibet through multi-track recording technology. “Huulen” follows two Canadians who battle falling ice and crashing water when the humongous frozen waterfall they planned to climb thaws. “Africa Revolutions Tour” follows a group as they kayak the crocodile-infested White Nile in Uganda and big-water first descents in Madagascar. “Project Megawoosh” focuses on a German engineer as he works to perfect the world’s tallest human water slide. Friday “Kranked-Rovolve” follows mountain bikers downhill and over dirt jumps from the French Alps to British Columbia. “Finding Farley” features two filmmakers, their two-year-old son and a dog who set out to retrace the 5,000-kilometer trip of the literary Farley Mowat by foot, sail and paddle from the Prairies to the Maritimes. “The Ultimate Skiing Showdown” is a spring showdown between the fastest skiers on Earth in juxtaposition with a stunt performer showing the sickest moves on Nordic skis. “Mustang—Journey of Transformation” is the story of

efforts to rescue the Himalayan kingdom of Mustang from the brink of extinction. “First Ascent: Alone on the Wall” focuses on Alex Honnold, who attempts the first free solo of the Regular Northwest Face on Yosemite’s Half Dome after gaining fame for his landmark free-solo of Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park. Saturday “Revolution One” takes a look at the history, people and places that have defined offroad unicycling. “Mont Blanc Speed Flying” follows six speed riders down the upper slopes of Mont Blanc to Chamonix in one continuous 10-minute shot. “A Little Bit Mongolian” tells the story of a 12-year-old Australian who trains to compete with Mongolian children in the long-distance Naadam Festival horse races. “Rowing the Atlantic” follows a man who sets off across the Atlantic Ocean alone in a rowboat. “Deep/Shinetsu” expresses a typical day in the mountains of Japan. “Pick-up Sticks” takes viewers on an aerial plunge off the edge of an Arctic coastal headland into the abyss of a seabird colony to find out how marine environmental change is affecting the balance of life for these birds. “Azazel” follows four friends establishing a new route on the Trango Pulpit Tower, a mythic 6,000-meter-high rock wall in Pakistan. “Project Megawoosh” focuses on a German engineer who works to perfect the world’s tallest human water slide. twp

Footlight Dance Earth Day tribute It is time to give up plastic water bottles

It is shocking that people still continue to buy 25 billion plastic water bottles a year. It isn’t cheap or healthy! Averaging $1 per bottle, that’s over $900 a year if you drink three bottles a day, 300 days a year. Forty percent of bottled water comes from tap water anyway. Most bottled water is not regulated (you don’t know what you’re drinking), while tap water is. Manufacturing and shipping a bottle of water wastes five times as much as is in the bottle and consumes 1.5 million barrels of oil. Single-use plastic bottles can leach BPA (bisphenol-A) which is a hormone disruptor in humans. BPA has been linked to breast and uterine cancer, an increased risk of miscarriage, and decreased testosterone levels.

Dating violence

While less than 20 percent are downcycled, over 3 million bottles end up in landfills each day, and many more end up in our rivers and oceans. What can you do to help your health, wallet and the environment? Switch to a stainless steel water bottle and make sure that the bottle is epoxy-free stainless steel, both inside and out (Klean Kanteen, New Wave, Good Life, Sigg, Eco Canteen). Invest in a water filter for your kitchen faucet (Brita, Pur). Water filters currently provide the best and healthiest solution to tap water. If you must use a plastic bottle occasionally, make sure you recycle it. For more information contact the Environmental Resource Center at 726-4333 or www.ercsv.org twp

The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault will speak with teens and parents about healthy relationships, and the latest dating trends throughout the month of February and National Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Week, Feb. 2-6. Dating violence is a pattern of abusive or aggressive behavior used in a dating relationship by one partner to exert control over another partner. The vast majority (89 percent) of teens age13-18 say they’ve been dating and 1 in 3 dating teens will be in an abusive relationship. Abuse can be verbal, emotional sexual or physical. Signs that your child may be in an abusive relationship include frequently cancelling plans at the last minute for reasons that sound untrue; losing interest in activities; worrying about angering their partner; or a change in weight appearance, or grades.

Profile: Julie Foods by Julie Johnson

J

ulie Johnson is a local food entrepreneur who has a mission to bring the snack cracker to a new level. The business founder and operator of the eponymous Julie Foods, LLC works solo out of her home kitchen to produce packaged “raw food crackers� that are naturally wheat free, gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free. Her products are sold locally at health food stores and selected markets. Like many early entrepreneurs, Julie’s business started spontaneously. She had been working in a local health food store, guiding people in their purchase of supplements to promote nutritional balance. Julie would also recommend what foods they could healthfully consume to round out their diets. “My most common suggestion was raw seeds from organic flax, pumpkin, and industrial hemp because of their protein and fiber content,� she explains. “The idea doesn’t always appeal, however,� she adds, showing me a handful of tiny, dry, bland-looking, and multitudinous seeds. Julie suggested ways that customers could prepare a seed snack, but “people would just look at me as if they didn’t have bowls or water to work with,� she laughs. She decided to do a show-and-tell and make something edible that she could hand to customers and then teach them how to make for themselves. Her first item, a corn chip, quickly found its way to her kitchen trashcan. But after two months of tweaking, taking copious notes on customer feedback, and doing more tweaking, Julie came up with her first cracker, named “I Am Allergic to Everything.� Her preparation involved 4-5 hours for the seeds to sprout, another hour to mix and cut the dough, and then dehydration for 24 hours. People liked it! But instead of rushing home to churn out their own crackers, clients asked Julie to do the work. Thus began her food line. In spring 2009, a few months after her initial experimentation, Julie launched Julie Foods. She now ships crackers to customers, many of them second home-owners, in Vermont, Connecticut, Texas, Seattle, and California. In addition to her initial flavor, Julie has invented four other crackers: Anaheim Pepper and Black Olive, Basil, Leek & Tomato, Idaho Flax Bread, and Idaho Olive Flax Bread. Julie explains that she has been interested in nutrition as long as she can remember. ‘When I was 16, I put my whole family on a mucous-free diet after doing some research into what was good and not so

“When I was 16, I put my whole family on a mucousfree diet‌â€? –Julie Johnson Local Food Entrepreneur

good to eat.� Although primarily self-taught, she has taken college courses in naturopathic remedies and is certified for layman homeopathy. While Julie overflows with information about supplements, she favors food itself as the body’s best nutritional source. It just has to be the right food made the right way, according to Julie. Her crackers are uncooked and unprocessed, preserved through dehydration and the vitamin E present in the seeds. Her crackers are thus considered “raw food,� containing live enzymes that feed the body’s physiological systems. As her packaging announces, Julie Foods’ crackers are “part of the nutritional revolution.� While Julie never envisioned herself as an entrepreneur, she now aspires to the next level of success: to wholesale her crackers across the country. “I’m always thinking my product will be sold on shelves across America,� she says, “so with every batch I make, I know it has to be very good!� For Julie to grow her business, however, she needs a more expansive space, both to enlarge her product offerings and to accommodate an employee. “I’d also like the stimulation of being around other people,� she acknowledges. Julie’s aspirations are big, marking her as a budding entrepreneur. In this way, she is similar to other valley entrepreneurs who are hungry for mentoring, for more space to work, for more people to share ideas with, and for seed financing to assist their business’ growth. These individuals are the potential source for more jobs and income for the valley. Many of them, like Julie, also express a value system of physical and emotional health Julie Foods’ label says it all, “Eat responsibly, eat well, and always eat for the joy of it.� twp Jima Rice holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, and is president of Jigsaw, Inc., a local 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports entrepreneurs, small businesses, and a sustainable economy in the Wood River Valley.

eats & entertainment This week’s Horoscopes: Saturn, the lessons planet, forms with Pluto The societal becomes personal as Saturn, the lessons planet, forms a stressed relationship with Pluto, the planet of construction and deconstruction. This aspect indicates changes that help us move toward a new way of being. The teaching methods of this planetary aspect may be uncomfortable, though it’s a necessary part of growth. Like a baby cutting teeth, the discomfort will soon be replaced with new tools and abilities. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The world will play to your strengths this week if you know what they are. Some of your assets are readily recognizable and you use them all the time. You have additional resources that are so obvious to everyone else, and yet you are not seeing or using them. Ask for the opinion of trusted friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Itís not enough to say this week will start off well. It is exploding like a cork from a bottle of champagne! Whoop it up. It is appropriate to celebrate the progress, even if you cannot find an official milestone to blame for the party. You don’t need any reason more official than that life is good and you feel great about it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Changing your ringtone or the outgoing message on your answering machine can seem like such an insignificant effort, but sometimes shifting the smallest details can jog loose new possibilities in larger spheres. Make a few seemingly superficial changes and be surprised at the results. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Good things happen to cheerful people. No one needs to tell you that, though. Itís basic to your personality to be upbeat. So donít be too surprised when the thing youíve been hoping for happens at the end of the week. Taurus is somehow connected. Stay positive

And when it’s appropriate, you turn the intensity right back up again. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is a difference in sensibility between you and a colleague or customer. You can bridge the gap with a sense of playfulness. It’s not that you make a joke of things, but you approach with a light heart and a large capacity to be amused by your interactions with others. Humor wins out in the end. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you look around, you’ll find that there are very few equally balanced relationships. Someone always gives more, but it always works out somehow. Usually that person is getting more, too, from other people in other ways. To live in a state of generosity is a gift to one’s own spirit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have been cared for throughout your life, and yet in some ways you were not tended to in an ideal manner. That’s why there are some gaps to fill in by taking part in extreme self-care. Create a quiet ritual for yourself this week, one that lets you feel utterly nurtured, and hold it sacred. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll be cherished by a sweet person who wants nothing in return except to see you happy. Being cared for in this way helps you to realize your innate gifts and share them with a greater number of people this year. In fact, your fan base grows exponentially, thanks in part to someone who helps to broadcast your talent in February. Family celebrates you in April. May brings new financial resources. August is a shift in your lifestyle due to a location change or transportation upgrade. twp

and the positive will stay with you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One way to look at vanity is that some people are bold enough to enjoy themselves to a greater degree than are others. Timid folks are seldom vain, and neither are they as entertaining to those around them. Which would you rather be? You’ll experiment with both roles this week and find a comfortable middle ground. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Since the only thing certain in life is change, there is no such thing as a perfect plan. There will always be unexpected information, strange twists and things you never could have taken into consideration. So plan ahead, but don’t get married to those plans. And build wide margins of error into your schedule this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a lot to talk about -- much of it delicious and not all of it kind. It would take a superior human being to resist this kind of gossip. And you are just such a person. Vow to show restraint. Be nice, and don’t pass along any mean news about acquaintances. Don’t join in when the talk is nasty. You’ll be a social hero. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are sure of yourself. Because of your deeply rooted inner confidence, you really don’t see the need to be right all the time. You might even apologize in order to help someone else (who is clearly in the wrong) save face. Your graciousness will be noted by someone who shares your high level of class. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You strike a difficult balance. You blend in, but you’re still very much an individual. You will be able to turn down your intensity in order to match the vibes around you. This causes others to let down their guard and receive you warmly.

Here’s a recipe…from my table to yours

Chili

Turkey Chili by Stephanie Giacobbi 1 yellow onion, chopped 1 red pepper, chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 lb. ground turkey, preferably lighter meat, as it is less gamey 1 can black beans, washed

1 can chili beans, preferably Western Family Chili Beans 1 1/2 tsp. garlic salt 40 oz. can crushed tomatoes 1/8 tsp. cumin Tabasco to taste Salt and pepper to taste

Method: Sauté peppers and onions in olive oil for about 20 minutes. Add garlic and cook another five minutes. In another pan, cook turkey with garlic powder until cooked through. The garlic powder reduces any gamey taste. Mix meat with peppers and onions. Add the tomatoes and the beans. Add spices and garnish with sour cream, cheddar cheese and chips, and serve. Hint from Stephanie: If you have leftovers, they are really good mixed and served with Annie’s Mac and Cheese!

Turkey Chili TWP: Why did you choose this recipe? Stephanie: Well, I don’t usually use recipes and this one was the easiest to describe to someone wanting to make it. TWP: How did you get interested in cooking? Stephanie: My dad and I used to cook together. It was our

quality time. We still do. He’s my inspiration. TWP: How long have you lived in the Wood River Valley? Stephanie: Excluding college? My entire life! TWP: What do you like about the Valley? Stephanie: What’s not to like?

Thank you, Stephanie, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone! If you have (or know someone who has) a recipe to share, e-mail chef@theweeklypaper.biz

Ragamala dances through life’s journey By KAREN BOSSICK

T

heir feet and fingers painted red, five dancers introduced Wood River Valley residents to one of the oldest dance forms in the world last Friday night. Members of Ragamala Dance painted pictures in the air, moved their heads like turkeys and slapped the floor with their bare feet as they brought to life a human being’s journey from the dawn of birth to the twilight of life. Their two-hour performance reached a thunderous climax as two Japanese Taiko drummers with Wadaiko Ensemble Tokara pounded out a rhythm for the dancers to follow. “It’s mesmerizing,� said Ketchum resident Carol ScheifeleHolmes. “This is a discipline that takes a lifetime to learn

In India you would see even more facial expression and vibration of the cheeks.� The Minneapolis-based dance troupe conducted a workshop for 1,200 school children in the valley prior to its performance Friday night. The workshops were gifted by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, which continues to present artists and lecturers to the schools at a time other Idaho schools are slashing field trips and performing arts because of budget cuts.

Ramaswamy explained the hand movements, which illustrated such concepts as rain and waterfalls. “They realized even 2,000 years ago how important it was to respect nature,� she told the students. Ramaswamy told the students that everything the dancers did with their hands and body were used to tell a story.

16 • theweeklypaper olympic....................from pg 1 U-23 World Championships in Germany this week. Joining them at the Olympics will be Hailey’s Graham Watanabe, who won a spot on the U.S. Snowboard Cross Team. Watanabe was absent Sunday night because he was competing in Aspen. Dick Fosbury, who won a gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico, wore the white jacket and ski cap he will wear carrying the Olympic torch in Vancouver. Fosbury, president of the World Olympians Association, reminded the audience that Arritola and the others would represent not only their country but Sun Valley, as well. “We are really starting to put Sun Valley on the map--not just in alpine skiing but Nordic skiing, the Paralympics‌we’ve got it all,â€? he added. There will probably be six athletes representing Sun Valley in the Paralympics, said Marc Mast, who heads up the Wood River Abilities Program (WRAP). They include alpine skier Elitza Storey, who grew up in Sun Valley, and Andy Soule, a Texan who trained in Sun Valley on a sit-ski after losing his legs in an explosion in Afghanistan. The list also includes Nordic skiers Greg Mallory, Chris Klebl and Sean Halsted and Mark Bathum, a blind alpine skier who has been training in Sun Valley this winter. Bathum’s guide is Elitza’a brother Slater Storey, so there will likely be two Storeys participating in the Paralympics, which follow the Olympics. “The support of the community has been amazing,â€? Bathum said. “We get stopped

every day on the hill with words of encouragement.� Sending three kids from the Ski Education Foundation’s four-year-old Olympic Development Team is “pretty amazing,� said Don Wiseman, SVSEF executive director. Wiseman said the SVSEF puts out about $40,000 a year to help Arritola with insurance, travel and other expenses. Alpine skiers cost even more-$60,000 a year. “Our goal is to give these athletes a chance to be on the U.S. Ski Team. And we do it because we’re a ski town—that’s what we do,� he said. “These kids are our pro team. We had a dry spell for awhile, but now our kids are kicking butt everywhere they go. And Morgan and the others are having a pull-up effect on our other youth. We have more in the pipeline now than four years ago.� Eight-year-old Sarah Feltman, a student at Woodside Elementary School, was among those doing a little Olympic dreaming Sunday evening. “I think it’s just amazing that Morgan gets to go to the Olympics,� she said as Arritola signed a poster for her. “When I grow up, I hope that I can get good enough to go, too.� twp

second time around. .................................................... from pg 1 that wrong. Working on a graduate degree, focused on anthropology and history, sent me on a series of amazing social and cultural trips. I’ve wandered across Asia, China and Europe, connecting urban dots with strings of university stops to unload the information aimed at earning a few more letters after my name. My travels have strengthened my simple personality, early on steeped in Ketchum’s brew of rugged outdoor adventures, and given it global perspective. Now ready to share that perspective with students in my newly assigned classroom here in the Valley. I’m hoping I can give as much back to this place as it has given me. My guess is, however, that I’ll learn as much or more from my students and neighbors than I will be able to offer them. I’ve packed up my music and my memorabilia, my pets and my passions, and moved from

nomad to local adventurer. My dog is loving the snow. My cockatiel is a little confused., and may be finding the climate a little chilly. He’s been my constant companion for the past couple of years though, and has learned an interesting dictionary of foreign and domestic words that always provide colorful comment, if not objective insight, so he’s staying. Can’t wait to get outfitted in some new gear, get back out on the mountain, spend some time in the back country, meet some new friends and figure out how to make my life count. I’ve made the choice. Now I need to make it work. There are some questions and challenges that I cannot wait to find answers to. Will I be a good teacher? Can I be happy with a smaller sphere of reference? Should I sell my condo in California and buy a piece of my future here in the Valley? And, will the girl follow?

I invite you to come along with me as I re-engage, taking in as much of the people and the culture here as they will allow. Looks to be a fun ride that I will enjoy sharing as details of my life unfold through a different writer each week in theweeklypaper. Look for me on Facebook as well. Always interested in what‘s going on and where, so drop me a line if you’ve got a suggestion for events or people that you think I’d enjoy. Nice to be back home.

Hot Club of San Fran: they’ll be back for Jazz Jamboree By KAREN BOSSICK

O

ut of sight. Nearly out of mind. As the lights dimmed on the band and the silent films flickered across the screen, it was easy to forget you were there for a concert. That was the case Saturday night at the Church of the Big Wood as the Hot Club of San Francisco paired the tight mesh of three guitars, a bass and a violin with four silent films. The films, one of which dated back to 1912, were so

imaginative and creative it was easy to get absorbed in them, almost tuning out the live music that accompanied them . Paul Mehling, the band’s founder, called it the first annual Idaho Gypsy Jazz Silent Film Festival. Then he laughed when the audience indicated it had never heard of such films as “It’s a Bird,� an enchanting tall tale about a metal-eating bird that an enterprising junk yard man hunted down to clean up his yard and—it turned out—lay an egg that

turned all it had eaten into a snazzy automobile. “That’s exactly why we bought it because we knew that you were not sick and tired of it,� he said. The band, brought to Ketchum by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, played many of Mehling’s own compositions to accompany the films, much as organs used to accompany them. The other big contributor was Django Reinhardt, a gypsy jazz guitarist who inspired Hot Clubs around the

world. Considered by some to be the one of the greatest guitar players of all time, more people are aware of him now than were aware of him in his lifetime in the early 1900s, said Mehling. “That’s huge because a lot of people knew of him then,� he added. The Hot Club of San Francisco, which displayed elements of gypsy music in its own playing, will be among the bands at next October’s Sun Valley Swing ‘n Dixie Jazz Jamboree,

confirmed Jamboree Directors Jeff and Carol Loehr, who were in the audience. That sits well with Wood River High School Orchestra Director Andy Lewis. “I love this group,� he said. “They’re such a fun, swinging group.� Next up: Cabaret Night with Catherine Russell, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at the nexStage Theater.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I hate to admit it, but I've been around long enough to remember the switch from vinyl records to 8-track tapes. And as you know, that lead to cassette tapes, CD's and MP3's. Things seem to change faster than my suit styles (I have a collection of those as well). The same thing happened with computers. I can't tell you how many PC's I have in the closet, each outdating the other. When I upgrade, I can't bring myself to throw out the old. If you can't tell, I'm a collector of stuff. Granted, my first IBM XT computer with a 5¼" floppy drive isn't going to get internet access, but it does work. I tried it the other day for laughs. I've offered these things to my kids and grandkids, but no takers. I don't want to just throw them away or recycle them. How do I find someone who might be interested since most of them still work?

• • • Cash: Considering your collection, you already know that technology changes quickly. And with your habits, it's likely you still have some 70's leisure suits hiding in the closet as well.

Fast Facts Trash Talk

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 01/31/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®

Carry: Unfortunately, unlike fashion, your IBM XT is not likely to come back into style. And hopefully the 1970's polyester shirts won't either! Cash: Since most electronic devices change due to improvements rather than appearance, outdated equipment typically has limited use. Take televisions for example. While many of the cathode ray picture tubes still work perfectly fine, most people are craving a large-screen LCD or plasma television. Carry: Most computers follow similar trends, being obsolete by the time they're delivered to your door! And although your IBM XT may still work, most people wouldn't know what to do with it

if it can't get email. Cash: That's not to say that your antiquated equipment can't find a home outside of your closet. Many people still have some use for older electronics. They may need them for parts or simply want them for their own collection! Carry: Place a classified ad offering your items free to those interested and you're likely to have some options present themselves. For computers that are still usable by today's standards, consider donating them to schools or other local organizations who may use them for training purposes. Cash: And if you're successful in cleaning out your entire electronics closet, maybe you can work on your wardrobe closet next!

If you're like most people, you've had several cell phones in the past few years. The disposal of consumer electronics is a growing problem. In 2007, Americans disposed of 27 million TVs, 205 million computer products and more than 100 million cell phones and PDA's according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Only about 16% of all those electronics were actually recycled. The rest were thrown in the landfill alongside typical kitchen garbage.

Phone Manners

With the global increase in cell phone usage, telephone etiquette has gotten out of hand. It's common to overhear any number of private conversations while shopping, walking down the street or even watching a movie. But there is good news. According to the annual survey by LetsTalk.com, cell phone etiquette is slowly improving. The number of people who deem it acceptable to talk in restaurants has dropped 10%, calls on public transportation have dropped 7%, and movie conversations are down 9%. Unfortunately, talking in the supermarket is still acceptable, up 6% from previous years.

Reader Humor Drink Mail

After my first day on a new job, a co-worker and I stopped by a nearby pub to celebrate. At the bar my new friend pulled out his cell phone, put it on the counter and placed his drink on top. Not sure what to think, I inquired about his strange coaster. "It never fails," he explained. "If I stop at a bar, my wife somehow knows to call and find out when I'll be home." Sure enough within minutes, the phone vibrated below his drink. "Aren't you going to answer it?" I asked. "Not until the fourth vibrate," he replied watching the glass. "If she's going to keep calling me, the least she can do is mix my drink!" (Thanks to Stephen R.)
