orn in the Bay Area,

student spotlight

Community School senior by: JONathan Wyatt KANE Bunce will get a chance to return home when he has the privilege of attending Stanford University in the fall. “I couldn’t be more excited,” he said. “It’s going to be a great opportunity and, other than here, the bay area is my favorite place in the world.”

Bunce moved to the Valley when he was four years old. He attended Hemingway Elementary, Wood River Middle School for one year and then switched to The Community School for seventh grade. “Wood River was great, but at the Community School the small classes lead to a much closer relationship with our teachers. We get to take three trips a year with our teachers so we get to know them much better.” As to the Valley, “I think it’s a great place to live and grow up in. You’re so lucky to be so close to the mountain, and I like the small atmosphere and all the people here. It’s a lot less stressful than the cities.”

Bunce has also been fortunate enough to travel frequently. He spent every summer in San Francisco until he was 12 and still visits every year. “It’s my favorite city in the world.”

He has also seen much of Europe, traveling through England, France and Italy. He has been on a sailing trip in the Caribbean, saw New York City for the first time last year, and had the rare opportunity to visit Bali. “Bali was so different and the culture was amazing. But it’s always nice coming home.

It’s so quiet and laid back here. I’ve been really lucky to have traveled so much and I’m actually craving the chance I’ll be getting to live near a city like San Francisco.” Bunce was accepted early decision to Stanford and had no other desire to attend somewhere else. There he hopes to study history and physics. “History is so important to study because we can learn from our mistakes. Everything that has happened in the last 200 years has a profound effect on today.

I also love physics because it really stretches your brain to think about how large the universe is. When you want to think about how things work, physics can explain everything on some level.”

While at The Community School, Bunce stays very busy working as student body president. “You run at the end of your junior year and you give a short speech to the upperschool students who vote along

Wyatt Bunce with the faculty. My platform was to bring in more clubs and to expand the extracurricular activities that the school offers.

Since taking the job, some of the things we’ve created is a carpool parking section and a weekly barbecue which donates to the student senate and the money then goes to a student who has been the most environmentally conscious.” Bunce also runs the student assemblies every Monday and sits on the school’s board of directors, which meets once a month, as the student representative. He also oversees such events as the Groundhog Day obstacle course, school dances and carol singing at Christmas. “I love doing it. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve been able to get involved with a lot of other students that I would not have otherwise.”

One of the clubs he has started is the film club and it has turned into quite a passion for him. His junior thesis was on the work of Woody Allen and now he finds himself deeply immersed in the work of Allen’s greatest influence—Ingmar Bergman. “I’m going to Sweden for my senior project to study the impact of Swedish culture on his work and I’m currently reading an extensive biography. He was a genius who was so artistic in so many ways and his expertise at filmmaking was supreme. He also included so many psychological aspects to his work. I’ve seen Wild Strawberries, which was fantastic, and I plan to watch The Seventh Seal and The Magic Flute in the next few weeks.”

He also devotes time to the local Amnesty International club; is a member of the Knowledge Bowl team; and excels as a snowboarder as part of the Sun Valley Snowboard Team, competing in the halfpipe. “It’s all about getting over your fears and pushing yourself to the limit. You can’t do well if you’re scared.” His sophomore year he made it to the Nationals and hopes to this year as well. Being as wellrounded as he is, it seems as if Stanford made a great choice and that his personal journey is only going to get more interesting. twp

Is the Wood River Valley in Idaho?

The Punch line J

ust tell somebody that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from the Valley! Those of us who travel around the state have no doubt encountered the by: BALI forced smiles of loSZABO cals who are quick to remark that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the real Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I usually quell the response, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Once, a female barfly from Pocatello remarked that this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Idaho.

I was wearing a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bite Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; T-shirt. As soon as her male companion went to the bathroom, she got up, came up behind me and bit me on the shoulder. That must have been the real Idaho.

Before I made the Valley my home in 2002, I began my acquaintance with Idaho by booking two river trips, one down the Middle Fork, the other on the Main Salmon, back to back. That was an authentic introduction to the state. There was one bit of Idaho I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t counted onâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the outfitter Bill Bernt of Aggipah River Trips. Tall, almost gaunt, jovial, talkative, a Stetson welded to his head, Bernt is a no-nonsense, hardscrabble man of the land. Meeting him was fate.

Intelligent, ever alert, he was a walking encyclopedia that added to his Western aura. Just what I wanted.

Bill is no typical country bumpkin. He has a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in zoology. He flies a plane, and sits on a board that decides traffic issues on the rivers. His wife Peggy teaches biology in Salmon. He knows his flora, fauna, geology, hydrology and the cultural history of the rivers, rich in mining, hermit and Shoshone lore. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a first-name basis with everyone who works and lives on the river, and all their predecessors.

What the rivers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell us, Bill can. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known in these parts as the best oarsman in the state.

He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flipped or wrapped a watercraft in 30-plus years. And if he has, I ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tellinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. At the bookends of the river season, he takes people hunting and fishing.

Bill lives on Tower Creek, on a small ranch, where he keeps some horses. The head of the creek, on the Continental Divide, is wild country populated by elk, deer, bear, puma, bighorn sheep, wolves and nowadays even the rare wolverine. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gun aficionado, makes his own ammo, has a collection of period firearms, including the musketâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the rifle used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, who explored this drainage on their way to the Beartooths. Last year he put a modern, adjustable sight on the 1840â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muzzleloader for the late-season cow hunt. For him, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually four shots, four drops. The

Tony says to his wife, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey look, Betty, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to buy a ticket for your mother after allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

PHOTO: SUSAN LITTLEFIELD Avid weekly paper reader, Susan Littlefield, who has lived in the Valley for over 35 years, claims that laughter is the best medicine. She creates these scenarios in her husbands N-scale model railroad.

freezer is full for the winter. Well, he aimed and he missed, more than once. His modern sight wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay aligned in the rough country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tough year, like every year.

Needless to say, Bill and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree on much; after all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from the Valley. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hunt or fish, I like wolves, and my politics are progressive. Hopeless. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from elsewhere. In Maine, they say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;from away.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I learned a long time ago not to politicize friendships and family, to till common ground, and to respect those deserving of it. There are deeper waters to fish.

The ice is gone from the Middle Fork. Steelhead season will be two weeks early, so all fish twp will be running early.

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival H

By KAREN BOSSICK

is long bony fingers caressing the spinning wheel, Conor Zaft has spun a tale of gold this past week in the Wood River Valley.

Zaft and his co-hortsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sara Gorby, Andrew Alburger and Tom Nashâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have introduced adults and kids alike to a cute original version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rumpelstiltskinâ&#x20AC;? that will leave viewers humming about spinning and chuckling at the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play on words.

St. Thomas Playhouse will present it one more time this Saturday during the Wood River Arts Allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts Festival at the Community Campus in Hailey.

The free event offers elementary school children classes in clay making, drama, dance, music, visual and literary arts.

And each registered student will receive a gift and a raffle ticket for a Flip camera to be given away at the end of the day.

Interpreters will be available for Spanish-speaking children.

And lunch will be available for purchase or children can bring their own.

Children can register for 50minute classes that take place at 10 and 11 a.m. and 1 and 2 p.m.

There also will be three performances in the theatre open to all-comers. The Sun Valley Summer School of Music faculty and guests will perform at

The play will be accompanied by a group dance led by Britta Von Tagen.

Third- through fifth-graders may spend the day learning and rehearsing the play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zero to Heroâ&#x20AC;? before performing it. And those who are more technically inclined may learn the ropes behind lighting and other behind-the-scenes duties of staging a play.

There also will be walk-up craft tables for children, a bouncy house provided by the Blaine County Recreation Department, an opportunity to paint a big pirate ship in the lobby and an instrument petting zoo provided by the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music.

A special performance has been added to the Carole King and James Taylor Troubadour Reunion tour in Sun Valley at 7:30 pm on July 12, 2010 at River Run, benefitting SVCA and the Alliance for the Wild Rockies.

The genesis of this once-in-alifetime reunion tour were 6 performances by King and Taylor in 2007 celebrating the 50th Anniversary of L.A.sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; famed Troubadour nightclub. At that club some 40 years ago, Taylor urged King to emerge as an artist from behind her piano, a seminal moment in the history of

these Pop Singer-Songwriter icons.

To be selected as both a presenter and beneficiary of this concert is a great honor,â&#x20AC;? said Bill Ryberg, Executive Director of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

Ticket prices and on-sale information will be posted soon on The Sun Valley Center (www.sunvalleycenter.org) and AWR (www. allianceforthewildrockies.org) websites and via The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eNewsletter and facebook page.

We’ve already seen farmers expand their growing season and products due to more demand. More items then draw more members.” In fact, Idaho’s Bounty opened a Boise operation last year. While kinks have yet to be worked out, economies of scale dictate the potential economic benefit from working throughout the entire food shed.

Does Jeannie worry about competition in such a slim market? “Absolutely not,” she states. “Anyone moving local food, whether it’s farmer’s markets or Atkinson’s, means more business for all. Multiple distribution sites help us toward our goal of having people buy 80% of their food locally.”

Idaho’s Bounty is efficiently run. Members place their orders Thursday-Sunday.

Wednesday afternoons are “pick-up days” at Hemingway School (Ketchum) and the Armory (Hailey). “Getting the bundles ready for distribution is like a mini barn-raising,” laughs Jeannie. “We have a great lunch at the warehouse.

Then we pack everything into bright green reusable bags.

There’s a lot of wise-cracking and sampling and just plain fun.” And that’s exactly how it should be with great food and a great organization! twp To Contact Jima Rice directly, e-mail her at jimasv@cox.net

ospitals and health facilities across the United States are adopting new treatments all the time to help benefit their patients. Healing Touch is an energy-based approach to health and healing in which practitioners use their hands above or on the body to affect a person’s energy fields, also known as chakras.

The Healing Touch program was started in the 1980s by Janet Mentgen. She started the program from practices she learned through courses at a nursing education program.

Currently, many hospitals and volunteers practice Healing Touch Therapy similar to the program Mentgen started.

Dayle Ohlau is one of many volunteers in the Valley who practices Healing Touch with the St. Luke’s therapy program.

As a trained Healing Touch practitioner, Ohlau practices on patients at St. Luke’s hospital and on other people in the community. St. Luke’s offers the service for patients because studies have found there are many benefits. One study found that patients had shorter hospital stays if they had the treatment before and after open-heart surgery. “Healing Touch is adopted by many hospitals,” Ohlau said.

Many people volunteer in the Valley as practitioners of Healing Touch Therapy. There was a three-day seminar required for certification, which was open to the public. For example, Ohlau, who is a communications instructor with CSI and a certified yoga instructor, participated in the seminar and is now a practitioner for that

program. Many other community volunteers and nurses participated in the seminar and are helping many people.

Ohlau is currently practicing Healing Touch at no charge.

She volunteers about two hours a week at the hospital and has performed the service for about thirty people. “I interview the patients before I practice the Healing Touch Therapy. Each person could have different needs and require different treatments,” she said.

For people who have a preference of self-healing, there is a four-week class at the College of Southern Idaho in Hailey.

People can learn the treatments for self-healing and benefit from a different therapy similar to Healing Touch.

Healing Touch has benefited many people. There is an upcoming seminar for people throughout the Valley to get certified for Healing Touch.

For more information about Healing Touch Therapy or the seminar, call Dayle Ohlau at 309-1836 or Mary Kay Foley, coordinator of the integrative therapies program at St. Luke’s Wood River, at 727-8417. twp

Szabo reviews Mrs. Goundoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daughter

By BALI SZABO

I

attended last Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family of Woman Film Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation of Mrs. Goundoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daughter. Its subject, female genital mutilation (FGM), or excision, has been a matter of interest to me for the last 30 years. One day, deep in the Vermont woods, I was awakened from a nap by a shriek captured by a BBC Radio documentary on the subject.

The little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screams were bloodcurdling, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mommy, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them! Mommy, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never forgotten her, nor forgiven her tormentors.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also had an enduring interest in all things Saharan.

The film is about a young, shy, married African woman, a Sominke from Mali, who comes to the U.S. and gives birth to a daughter here. She wants to go home to her village not far from the capitol of Banako, along the Niger River, the lifeblood of Mali. She canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring herself to do it because she wants to preserve the health and dignity of her daughter, Djenabou, now a U.S. citizen.

If she returned to Mali, to her village, the daughter would be excised whether she liked it or not. The daughter would be kidnapped and subjected to the procedure, as are 85 percent of all Malian girls (3 million girls worldwide/year).

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tradition that predates Islam, thought to have originated in Egypt and came to the Sahel around 1500 B.C., along with the horses and the chariots (Crete). A civilization on the brink of collapse hangs on to every shred of tradition and social cohesion. Nowadays, religion and tradition are just transparent excuses used to perpetuate the timeless male double standard (fooling around) and the subjugation of women to a status equal to that of goats, cattle, burros and

camels, more property than partnership.

The movie has two parts.

One half was filmed in Mali, and used a great local music soundtrack. There were lots of examples of colorful Malian street life (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;every dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a happy dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) and a documentation of the village ritual of cutting.

This practice is both a human rights and a health issue.

The film cited the chronic ill effectsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;infections, continued bleeding, visual disfigurement, incontinence, premature pregnancies and the need for Caesarians. The locals shrug off the prevalence of all disease that afflicts the Sahel as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inshallah,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the will of Allah.

The other half of the film documents the ins and outs of U.S. immigration law in the post-9/11 world. Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate hangs in the balance of euphemisms, parsed definitions of narrow legal clauses and, above all, judges. Mrs. Goundo got lucky. Her judge was a black woman who had spent time in the Peace Corps, and knew all about FGM. She had a good lawyer and an able Sominke translator. The judge ruled in her favor, and the government decided to drop its appeal, so she is now free to apply for her green card. She is an immigrant who wants to go home. She misses her culture and thinks life is too hard here. She feels disconnected. There is reason for hope. The government of Mali may prohibit this practice, as several other African nations have done.

Progress is slow, and it has to come village by village. It has been shown that women who are informed about the needlessness of this procedure (imams repeatedly have washed their hands of it) can effectively unite against it.

Traditions are born of change, and can die of it. twp

movie review

O Mountain Biker extraordinaire Rebecca Rusch shared a laugh with Kim Jacobs at a pre-film party held in Ruschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor Thursday at The Elephantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perch. The partyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;loaded with Red Bulls and energy gelsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;celebrated the showing of the film â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Race Across the Sky,â&#x20AC;? which chronicled a hundred-mile race Rusch and Lance Armstrong PHOTO: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP won last summer in Leadville, Colo.

h, how the mighty have fallen. Such is the case with the Wood River Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;action hero Bruce Willis. If Bruce was smart, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be getting his agent on the phone, pronto, because there is no reason on earth he should be starring in a film as bad as Cop Out. If lameness was a virtue, then this film would be up there for the most virtuous film ever made.

Much of the blame can be laid at the feet of indie director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma), who takes on the role of a hired gun by helming his first big-budget Hollywood picture.

cookies/dessert

Old Country Amaretti by Jada Stein Makes 30 crisp, Italian, almond paste cookies 1 1/4 cups whole blanched almonds 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/2 cup confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar 2 large egg whites

Pinch of kosher salt 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon almond extract turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Put almonds, cornstarch, and confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until almonds are very finely chopped. Put egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer using the whisk attachment, or just use a bowl and whisk.

Add salt and beat until foamy and light. Gradually add granulated sugar in a slow, steady stream and continue beating until mixture is stiff and glossy. Beat in almond extract and amaretto.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in ground almond mix. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle each cookie generously with turbinado sugar.

Bake until cookies are pale golden and begin to crack slightly, about 15 minutes. Open oven door and let cookies stand in oven until completely dry and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes more. Let cookies cool briefly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Thank you, Jada, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

H

asan Elahi is a media artist with an emphasis on technology.

That played into his hands perfectly eight years ago as the FBI detained him for allegedly hoarding explosivesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a charge a lie detector test eventually cleared him of.

But the Bangladesh-born, American didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the incident pass quickly into the night.

He put his entire life online, posting every credit card transaction, attaching a GPS-tracking device to his person and taking pictures of the thousands of bathrooms he used and the airports he went through during the 70,000 air miles he racks up each year exhibiting his artwork.

The bleached blond professor at San Jose State talked about some of the 45,000 images heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot last Friday as the images scrolled up the wall at the Sun Valley Center for the Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new exhibition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Spy: Surveillance and Security.â&#x20AC;?

And, yes, Elahi said, he would be posting pictures of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, as well, in the belief that exposing his entire life online for all the world to see eliminates any secrecy the FBI could leverage against him.

The exhibit will be one of several thought-provoking art exhibitions viewers can see from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday during the free Gallery Walk through Ketchumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art galleries. Refreshments will be served.

Joining Elahi last week at The Center was Artist Deborah Aschheim, who was showing off the work she built out of transparent tubes, bathroom matting and motion sensors. The sculpture examines the fragile new organism of surveillance technology that emerged after 9-11. â&#x20AC;&#x153; You can imagine the mutation of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA so that the space begins to grow its own sensing capacity out of equipment installed to protect the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physical buildings have grown into smart buildings with nerve centers and sensing capabilities. Smart buildings have become nervous.â&#x20AC;?

She paused. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neurological sensors, not censors.â&#x20AC;?

A few blocks down the street, Gallery DeNovo is showing a retrospective of Norman Laliberteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique grand scale textural paintings on tar paper, handmade books and mixed media pieces. The works span â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 years of joyful creation.â&#x20AC;?

Laliberte was born in Massachusetts and raised in Montreal. He first gained international recognition as the design consultant for the Vatican pavilion at the New York Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair in 1964. His art has been on the cover of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timeâ&#x20AC;? magazines and is in such collections as the Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection.

Blagojce is showing an exhibition called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kite Seriesâ&#x20AC;? in the Walnut Avenue Mall across from CIRO and the Open Room. The exhibit should tug at the hearts of everyone anxious for the soft breezes of spring.

Blagojce said he hopes to remind viewers through his work about the things in life that are so easily forgotten, such as the human soul, freedom and life: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kites are a dream of every child and a symbol of freedom to fly without borders,â&#x20AC;? said Blagojce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be free, to open your

hands and close your eyes and run without worrying about falling or stopping. To feel the air going through your hair. To feel the summer sun on your face, the rain on your lips, and the rainbow in the sky. The kite is your imagination, and your mind can go on forever, can see foreverâ&#x20AC;Śitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always going, going, going, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no end, even if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it.

Green Tips For Book Lovers

I am a bookworm! I read on the bus, in bed, by the fireplace, on the beach. I always have a book (or ten) on my bedside table. If you’re a book lover, too, you might find the following green tips useful.

Borrow instead of buying. Buying a new book feels good. There’s something about the smell of a new book that is irresistible. But new books encourage the printing of more books, which is hugely wasteful. Limit buying new books to special occasions. Save paper! Join the local library. Exchange books with friends.

Or try online book rental such as Book Swim: www.bookswim.com, it is the “Netflix” of books at less than $10 per month.

Buy used books. If you must own books, buy them used. It is better for the environment, and saves money.

Iconoclast Books & Café has an impressive selection, and with patience one can always dig out good finds from thrift shops such as The Gold Mine and Barkin’ Basement.

Read electronically. Download books from the Internet directly to your computer or to a reading device such as Kindle. Many readers initially object to the notion of giving up physical books, but eventually get used to it and find that it helps them keep costs down and reduce clutter.

Recycle your own books. When you’re done reading a book, instead of placing it on a shelf to accumulate dust, offer the book to a friend, or donate it to the library or a thrift shop.

Never throw away a book!

For more questions about recycling call the ERC at 726-4333 or twp visit www.ercsv.org

ay Bawa Odmark didn’t start painting until she was in her 40s. But she can trace the genesis of her artwork back to the riots that broke out in the wake of India’s independence from Great Britain when she was 7.

When an English mapmaker created the nations of India and Pakistan by drawing an arbitrary line on a map, 12 million people were displaced and a half-million people died in the fighting that ensued between Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs.

Brothers killed brothers who had been allotted more land than they. And the Muslim servants who worked for The lotus, which Gay Odmark features in many of her works, was the Odmark’s family served them breakfast in the morning and symbol of the third guru of Sikhism during the 1500s. waged jihad at night.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I'm moving into the city for a short period of time, probably less than a year. I've been looking for a relatively inexpensive furnished apartment, but let's just say, it's very discouraging.

Many of the ads I respond to say, "charming, cute and cozy."

However when I get there, they look like something no interior designer would even know how to fix! I'm tired of running around town to look at disastrously furnished apartments. Any thought on how to make this process a little easier?

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Carry: Most people have difficulty finding an unfurnished apartment they like. The process becomes even more challenging when trying to find it furnished in a style you can appreciate.

Cash: If you're showing up and finding an apartment that looks like the before pictures of some reality TV show, then you're not asking the right questions on the telephone.

Carry: Whenever you call an ad on a furnished apartment, ask for specifics. Aside from the typical apartment hunting questions, you need to also determine the style of

Fast Facts A Furnishings Checklist Before you move into any furnished apartment, make an inventory sheet and have the landlord sign it. Your checklist should detail the contents of the apartment and the condition of each item. Make a note of any damages such as stains on the carpet, tears in draperies or appliances that don't work properly. If there are any discrepancies when you move out, you can refer to the signed checklist.

Duane â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cashâ&#x20AC;? Holze & Todd â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carryâ&#x20AC;? Holze 02/28/10 Š2010 The Classified GuysÂŽ

furniture, wall coverings and condition of all the items. Ask enough questions to clearly visualize what the apartment looks like.

Cash: If you hear a description like lava lamp, shag carpet and bean-bag chairs, then you may want to move on, unless of course, an Austin Powers' motif works for you.

Carry: Also, ask if the previous tenants smoked. If you're a nonsmoker, there's nothing worse than the lingering smell of smoke in all the upholstery and drapes.

Cash: Find out if pets were allowed. Although, many of us would rather live with a dog than some of the roommates we had in

college, pet odors will permeate furniture over time.

Carry: If it looks like the area of the city you want to live in doesn't have the furnished apartments you're looking for, there is another alternative. You can find an unfurnished apartment and rent furnishings from a third-party rental company. In some cases the cost comes out cheaper, depending on the styles you choose.

Most furniture rental companies will help select a style, deliver it and set everything up.

Cash: That may be a great solution and it certainly beats living like you're on the set of another Austin Powers movie.

Decorator's Dream

Not sure where to find furniture or decorations for a temporary move? Maybe renting furniture is an option for you. There are nationwide furniture rental companies who specialize in furnishing your home on a temporary basis. These companies can fill a three-room apartment with everything from artwork to furniture.

The cost typically starts around $100/month and increases depending on your choice of furnishings. For short-term moves, it can save you the trouble of buying or moving a complete set of furniture. â&#x20AC;˘

Reader Humor Too Close for Comfort

When my wife became pregnant with our first child, I was a nervous wreck. Not because I was going to be a father, but because my in-laws said they were going to stay with us when the baby was born.

Over the next nine months, I reminded them that our only spare bedroom was being remodeled into a baby's room. I thought my reminders would work. However, when our baby was born, they showed up just as planned.

"Don't worry," they said. "We rented a furnished apartment really close by, so we won't be in your way."

Relieved, I inquired, "That's great. Where is it located?"

Pointing at their RV outside, they replied, "In your driveway."

Y

ou’ve heard that saying, indicating an easy ride.

I thought that’s how it might be, returning to the Wood River Valley. In many ways, it has been easy and fun to get settled back into the routine here. In others, though, it’s been more like an uphill battle.

Take Lana, for instance.

We had spent a good deal of time together in California, dating off and on for about two years. I was a little uncertain about how our relationship would stand up to the distance when I moved back to Ketchum. I was pretty sure, though, that I could get her out here and make her love it like I do. I’ll never really know, though, if I could have done that, since plans for this visit kind of got strangled.

Three of Lana’s friends from L.A. just happened to be out here visiting the same week she was. Some of my most important plans were hijacked, forced to follow their busy tourist track rather than my plan for some time alone together. Now she’s back in L.A., we didn’t have the time to

talk about plans for the future, and I don’t know if I’ll ever convince her to come back for another visit. I could almost feel her slip from my life as she boarded the plane back to California.

That same week I ran into an old friend. An old flame, kind of, that I’d always watched from the sidelines, but never stretched out there to ask for a date. She’d had some tough luck over the past few years, but was still pleasant, pretty, and definitely interested in spending a little more time renewing our friendship. Funny how that kind of thing always seems to wedge itself into the most complicated of situations, rather than coming at you when there’s nothing else going on.

With Lana gone, and most of my friends here married or dating someone, I found myself looking for company to join me for some dinner and live Saturday night music. I love music, but really I love reggae. It’s simple and relaxing. It’s steady, yet makes you think about the most basic privileges life offers. But I can’t dance to it. I can’t dance to anything. I wish someone had reminded me of that before I asked Susanne to join me for dinner at one of Ketchum’s newest spots and a little Marley in the Mountains after.

I had skied all day Saturday, stopped for a couple of beers with some friends at Roundhouse on the last run, and was running a little late to get home and clean up. In the rush I didn’t check messages, didn’t check the mirror, and didn’t feed Bud. Well, almost didn’t feed Bud. He wouldn’t let me out the door without reminding me. I didn’t know there was a Dear Max message blinking at me. Or that there had been an accident in the backcountry that involved a friend. I suppose sometimes it’s better not to know these things. Saturday night was probably one of those times. twp About this week’s Author: Michael Wilton is a 32-year-old auto mechanic and computer geek who has lived in, sung about, written about and loved Idaho for three years.
