Primer on Urban Renewal Areas II By JIMA RICE

T

wo weeks ago I offered Part I of this Primer, describing how the purpose of a URA is to transform deteriorated areas into places of economic vitality that bring jobs, enhance real estate values, and enlarge the tax base. These specially designated areas, run by an appointed urban renewal agency (URA), are funded by tax increment financing (TIF) in which a base tax value is set for the renewal area and the URA banks the difference between the base and increased tax values for up to 24 years. URA money is used to purchase land, remove/renovate buildings, provide public amenities (e.g., parks and parking), and install streets and utilities in order to attract job-creating businesses to a struggling area and help stabilize it. Urban renewal programs are praised by communities that have used them to revitalize areas that might otherwise have remained stagnant, unsafe, or undeveloped. URAs enable long-term planning, independent of yearly government budgeting. They encourage community collaboration in planning for the future and can enable lower tax levies as the tax base increases with time. URAs also have potential drawbacks: conflicts of interest, weak public accountability, and poor financial management. Ultimately, a URA’s success relies on commissioner expertise, good faith practices, and adherence to legislative intentions. Currently, Ketchum has three urban renewal areas; Hailey is considering one. How are we doing regarding our foray into urban renewal and what should we consider moving forward? Conflicts of interest: Idaho Code describes a URA as a legal body of 3-9 commissioners appointed and approved by the Mayor and City Council, respectively. Commissioners should have varied backgrounds pertinent to implementing an urban renewal plan. They must have no economic interest in the urban renewal area. They may include representatives from taxing districts whose taxes are being diverted to the URA. Ketchum’s Mayor and City Council have served as URA Commissioners

Races heat up: tiny tots and nation’s best By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he flats and hills of Sun Valley took on an air of anticipation Monday as the nation’s top collegiate skiers gathered for the 2011 U.S. Collegiate Skiing and Snowboarding National Championships. Hemingway, Cozy and the Half-Pipe are serving as Race Central on Baldy while the patio outside the Sun Valley Nordic Center has turned into a pleinair waxing den. Some of the more visual events include the Boarder-X and Skier-X competitions from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday at Dollar Mountain and the Men’s Nordic 15K Freestyle mass start at 11 a.m. Friday at Diamond Back. Sun Valley hasn’t exactly been bursting with its trademark sunny smile this past week. But the fresh snow has lain like a layer of smooth creamy icing on Baldy’s runs and moguls and the Nordic trails. There’s not a bit of bad skiing to be found anywhere in the Sun Valley area, although backcountry skiers should be aware that there have been a number of slides in the past week. Full-time college students can ski and ride with Sun Valley’s new Triple-Play Ski Pass for only $99 now through the end of Sun Valley’s ski season on April 24. You don’t need to use the pass on consecutive days and you can renew it should you decide you can’t get enough fun in the sun in just three days. Call 208622-6136 for more information. With the college races wrapping up on Friday, Dollar Mountain will become the site of the annual KinderCup on Saturday. The races for kids 3 through 11 will begin at 10:15 a.m. with registration held between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. The races will be followed by a barbecue outside Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge.

Opera lovers can get a sneak peak of the March 19 show featuring British sensation Alfie Boe at 7 tonight when PBS rebroadcasts the 25th anniversary concert of “Les Miserables” on HD Channel 710. The show was broadcast Sunday night on the regular PBS channel. Boe, who sings the lead role of Jean Valjean, will be in Sun Valley at 8 p.m. March 19 in a show arranged by Sun Valley Opera and Sun Valley Resort. Tickets start at $45, available at seats.sunvalley.com or by calling 208-622-2135. Diva tickets, which include premier seating and a pre-concert cocktail party, begin at $125 and are available at sunvalleyopera.com or by calling 208-726-0991. COURTESY PHOTO

Don King, who has taught countless Valley residents how to make chairs out of willow gathered along the Big Wood River, skied in Sunday’s Sawtooth Ski Festival even though he was recuperating from a hyper-extended knee suffered in a backcountry ski accident. His secret? Wearing non-slip skins on the bottom of his skis, even on the flats.

Off the slopes… The Boulder Backwards Tour on classic skis will start at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area headquarters just north of Ketchum and finish up 30 kilometers later at Galena Lodge. There also will be a 15-kilometer tour starting at Baker Creek at 11 a.m. This year there will be a drink station at Baker Creek. And the Mountain Fairies shuttle van will take skiers back to their cars at Baker Creek and the SNRA, courtesy of The Elephant’s Perch. In addition, Galena Lodge will offer skiers a 20 percent discount on lunch and Happy Hour beer prices to those who give the secret password, “Tiny Dancer.” Though the event is free, register ahead at brosso@elephantsperch.com so Galena can have a head count on lunch. tws

De Temps Antan at Opera House By KAREN BOSSICK

S

hack songs and kitchen table romps with a French Canadian accent will reverberate within the halls of the Sun Valley Opera House come 6:30 p.m. Saturday. De Temps Antan—loosely translated, “times past”—will break out the accordion and strut its stuff with all the foot-stomping, tongue-twisting, Cajun-flavored energy of a good old Quebec family party. “For us, it’s not only the story of the music we need to tell,” said accordionist Pierre-luc Dupuis, “but we try to live the story on stage, to really get across what you’d hear and feel and do during a family party.” Dupuis and his fellow musicians—fiddler Andre Brunet, Canada’s grand master fiddler in 2008, and guitarist Eric Beaudry—hail from small Quebec towns where they grew up hear-

ing relatives and friends jam on fiddle and guitar during kitchen parties. They even have the fancy footwork down pat, the footwork stemming from the time when a fiddler would get up on the table and tap his foot to fuel the dancers. The trio have scoured archives for some of their joie de vivre and learned other reels from older musicians like Gaspe fiddler Edouard Richard. But they also love experimenting with new sounds—plugging a bouzouki into an old amp for a grungy sound, for instance. The concert is the final one of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Winter Performing Arts Series. Tickets are $20 for Center members and $30 for nonmembers, available at www. sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 208-726-9491. tws

Millspaugh loves performing arts By JONATHAN KANE

C

rystal Millspaugh, Wood River High School senior, comes from a family of actors and entertainers. Perhaps that is why she took to the stage when she was very young. At the age of eleven she found herself performing with her grandfather Chris Millspaugh in the show The Big Hitch. “I played the flower girl,” she said. “It was so exciting. I got to meet a lot of new people and I felt I was really growing up because I was the only kid and everyone else was an adult. I didn’t have any stage fright. I did have some butterflies – but they were good butterflies. Instead of being scared I was really happy and energized and I enjoyed the whole experience. I could express myself by being someone totally different and I felt I was really free.” She then took some time off until her sophomore year. “I heard about the Performing Arts Academy and I knew I liked acting so I wanted to check it out and I’m glad I did. I took classes like Introduction to Theater and an acting workshop. My junior year I joined the Academy, which meets every day as the last class of the afternoon. Monday we study lighting, Tuesday improvisation, Wednesday film acting, Thursday movement and Friday voice. Monday’s class changes every trimester. Last one was costuming and this one lighting. Not every school has an arts department so I really appreciate it. It also can take you out of the monotonous aspects of life and give you a chance to really express yourself. I also like that we do it in school and not out of school.” She added, “My favorite classes are improvisation and movement which is essentially choreography and how to move on stage. I love improvisation because you can think of a situation and a character on the spot. You’re with other people and you learn how to go with the situation and create on the spot. It’s also helpful in a play if someone forgets a line you can keep the show going and you can be prepared for situations like that. Movement is also great. I

used to be involved with track and I was really fast and took to the hurdles naturally. Movement can also be fast and precise and it looks like ballet. Choreography can be on different levels and since we do musicals it can really help us with our dance numbers. It’s a toss up between musicals and straight plays as to what I like the most but I think I prefer musicals because it also involves singing, which is another of my passions. I just feel comfortable in front of a big audience and I love entertaining people. I really feed off their energy and their being entertained.” She also enjoys being a mentor to younger actors. “Sometimes it’s frustrating when you are in a production and they don’t know what they are doing so we can be teachers to them and pass down our knowledge. We can work with them on things like trying to project and memorize lines. You find time to sit with them and go over their scripts one line at a time.” She added, “As to my future I want to pursue acting in college either at BSU or CSI as a major. I also want to get involved in theater with local companies and I hope to be in the Episcopal Church’s production of Footloose this summer.” With a bright future in the theater you can be sure we’ll be seeing plenty of this talented actress in the future. tws

on’t be surprised if the ghost of Ernest Hemingway comes back to haunt the library stacks Sunday evening. After all, bartenders from The Cornerstone Bar and Grill will be serving up the Papa Doble—Papa’s favorite cocktail—during Our Moveable Feast. The bartenders will serve up the cocktail made of white rum, lime, grapefruit and maraschino cherries at the fireplace, while Sun Valley’s chefs prepare a lavender lemon pound cake with flambĂŠed fruit to serve up in the Regional History Library. Chefs from other restaurants, such as Sego and Michel’s Christiania, will also trot out their best for the library’s popular fundraising event. Rooms will be decorated along the theme of five books having something to do with food. The dessert room, for instance, will take on a French theme as it is made over into the image of “I Was Told There’d Be Cake!â€? The children’s library is patterned after Gael Greene’s “Insatiable.â€? The audio-visual room will be made over in Jackson Pollocktype fashion inspired by the book “How’s the Squid?â€? And the reference room and lecture room will be transformed into Anthony Bourdain’s “Kitchen Confidentialâ€? and Alan Richman’s “Fork It Over.â€? “We always have a literary food connection. Last year’s theme was food mysteries. This year’s: culinary comedy,â€? said Tom Jewell, the library’s development and volunteer coordinator. This year’s Feast will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday at the library at 415 Spruce Ave. N. in Ketchum. Guests can move from room to room enjoying nibbles donated by the Valley’s finest restaurants and caterers, imbibing in wine, beer and other cocktails and taking in some low-key entertainment. There will also be a silent

auction featuring such items as a week in Provence, a condo in Buenos Aires, a London flat, a Mexican Riviera vacation home and even a cabin in Idaho’s Copper Basin. Patrons have outdone themselves with their donations this year, said Colleen Crain, who is heading up the event. Ketchum homeowner Diana Walker, who photographed five administrations of presidents for “Timeâ€? magazine, has offered to do a family portrait for one lucky bidder. Lyman and Debra Drake, both North African aficionados, have offered to host an authentic Moroccan dinner for eight in their Hulen Meadows home with an authentic Moroccan tangine and cookbook to boot. Tina Mehan and Vicki Currie will prepare an Italian farmhouse dinner for eight in the Mehans’ Fairway Road home overlooking the Sun Valley Golf Course. Scott Mason of the Ketchum Grill will serve up a cooking lesson along with dinner, and another chef will offer an Ayurvedic cooking lesson with dinner. “These dinners are something you’ll never have happen again—they’re a once-in-a-lifetime buy,â€? said Crain. This year’s room captains are Leslie Silva, Sue Bilkey, Ashley Howell, Tom Jewell and Susan Niven. DĂŠcor is provided by Maison Et Cadeaux, Tara Bella Flowers, Floral Design and The Picket Fence. “I love this event because it incorporates the whole community. And the people partaking in it come from all over,â€? said Silva. “It’s a nice low-key fundraiser for everyone.â€? The event helps with the operating costs of the library, which must raise $914,000 over what the Gold Mine thrift store brings in. Organizers hope to raise the remaining $22,000 for the library’s fiber optics this year, Crain said.

Regional History Librarian Sandra Hofferber rescued them from a library that was throwing them away and put them alongside microfilm of the “Hailey Times� and “Times New-Miner� dating back to 1881, the long-gone “Sawtooth Star,� “The Ketchum Keystone� and even “The Ketchum Tomorrow.� Those and other works attract a steady stream of visitors to The Community Library ranging from lawyers researching early court cases on water rights to Japanese and Swedish journalists who want to thumb through the library’s Ernest Hemingway collection. None of this would have been possible had it not been for 17 women who decided Sun Valley was one page short of paradise without a library. The story of the library began 56 years ago on Sun Valley’s golf links— Hole No. 7, to be exact—when three women bemoaned the fact that they had nothing to read since there was neither a bookstore nor a library in Ketchum. A few months later, in January 1955, the women enlisted 14 other women and each put up a dollar to rent a miner’s cabin with no heat, electricity or running water. Then they plumbed the town’s closets to start a thrift store, hoping they could make $40 a month to buy a couple books here and there. The first day, they made $101, with one customer even buying an ashtray on the counter that had not been for sale, recalled the late Clara Spiegel, according to an oral history the library recorded. A visitor from Kalamazoo, Mich., talked Yale University into donating 400 duplicate books from its collection, and a library was born. “The offspring of mothers of the library couldn’t even wear clothes out or fully grow into them before they were whipped off and taken straight down to the thrift shop,� recalled Ketchum resident Michael Engl. Today, the library is considered one of the premiere private libraries in the Northwest, according to Executive Director Colleen Daly. It boasts a Regional History Department with more than 10,000 historical photos, the largest collection of ski instructional and historical books in the Intermountain West, mine inspector reports dating back to the 1800s, Ketchum freight company ledgers and even more than 6,000 negatives that former librarian Dottie Thomas rescued from the wastebaskets of the Union Pacific Railroad museum in Omaha, Neb., in 1982. The library even possesses a rare collection of drawings from Captain Cook in its reference section. One of the staffers calls the library “the living room of Ketchum,� alluding to the fireplace in the center of the room that lures people in on cold snowy days to read magazines or work on computers. And the library is a repository for those who are leaving Ketchum on vacation, as well, thanks to its extensive books-on-tape collection. The library has not taken a single handout from the government in its 56 years, preferring to rely on donations, income from its Gold Mine thrift store and funds raised through its Moveable Feast party and Community Home Tours. It does not charge late fees, although occasionally a sheepish patron offers a donation. “Our 17 founding members were quite forward thinking, but I don’t think any of them could have dreamed that 56 years later over 400 people a day would walk through our doors, that we would offer almost 80 cultural lectures and programs a year, that we’d have 35 public-access computers and wi-fi and that we would have a Facebook page,� said Executive Director Colleen Daly. “And we’re not done. Our goal is to be relentlessly relevant.� Would the founding mothers have started a library in this day and age when people can punch up a book on a Kindle? “I’m sure they would have,� said Hofferber. “A book is different than a digital medium. Those who study cognitive brain development say that books stimulate cognitive development. When you read something digitally, it doesn’t stick with you like it does on paper where it is unchanged. Those 17 women wanted to enrich the lives of the children in the Valley and they saw a library as a way to make that happen.� tws

irst, a note to aspiring filmmakers, playwrights and novelists. If you’re going to create a character study, make sure the audience cares a smidge about your lead character. If not, a hundred and thirty minutes can be a very painful experience. Such is the case with the witless and interminably boring new film, Barney’s Version. If this is Barney’s version, heaven help us if we are subjected to the other versions. The film is one man’s journey through three decades and three wives. The problem at the heart of the film is the man whose journey we are watching. That man is played by Paul Giamatti. Not to sound judgmental, but Giamatti does not have lead-

ing man looks or charisma. To believe that beautiful women throw themselves at him is beyond the bounds of incredulity. Add in the charming fact that he chain smokes cigars and drinks throughout the film only add to his charm. His first date with his third wife is fueled by alcohol and ends with him vomiting profusely. How could she resist? Based on the novel by Mordecai Richler, the film is directed without any flair by Richard Lewis, producer of C.S.I. The story follows our lead from Rome

to Montreal. After the death of his first beautiful wife, Giamatti then weds his second beautiful (and desperately Jewish cliché) wife, who is also loaded. Herein lies the big twist of the movie. At the wedding, he falls desperately in love with the beautiful Rosamund Pike (the bright spot of the film) and woos her ferociously while still being married. Finally, divorce in hand, he wins her over and they have two children and a successful marriage until he is unfaithful. Along the way, there is a subplot about the murder of a best friend that adds absolutely nothing to the film. There is also the turn by Dustin Hoffman as the loving dad (again, another Jewish cliché). Who cares? Certainly not the audience. tws

This week’s horoscopes; the solar journey continues, Piscean

(through March 19th, 2011)

We will indulge you with our oversized rooms, complementary breakfast, down comforters and exemplary service!

1.800.376.3608 409 S. Cole Road, Boise, ID www.HarrisonHotelBoise.com

The solar journey through ethereal Pisces continues, though the influence of Aries gives a passionate edge to the usually soft Piscean tone. ARIES (March 21-April 19). According to the rules of feng shui, your front door should be larger than your back door, making it easy for good energy to come in and more difficult for it to leave. You’ll apply this principle to different areas of life, including your finances. Money will flow to you, and you’ll think long and hard before you spend it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Throughout a lifetime, various pieces of your identity drift away. One day, you think of yourself as a child, dependent on others. Another day, you realize that you’re the one responsible for what happens in your life. This week you’ll roll with the changes. You’ll shed one idea of who you are to adopt a new one. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You do appreciate it when others have the same consistency of mood that you have. It makes life easier when you can predict the general response a person might have to your next move. You’ll also be involved with those who are not so predictable, which adds some

excitement and challenge to your week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be in an introspective mood and will be thinking about the big picture of your life. To accomplish your dream, you need more than a hope and a prayer. You need a viable strategy for turning your idea into reality. Return to brainstorming mode. A Virgo or Leo person will be an asset to your team. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have an extra-sensory gift -- an intuitive sense you can’t explain that guides you to answers and happy outcomes. This week you’ll be moved to do certain illogical things because they just feel right. And even when you don’t know exactly what’s going on, you’ll tune into the spirit of things and figure it out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes it’s still difficult for you to believe that your dreams are important to the workings of the entire world. Think about how this has already been true in your life. In seeking a fanciful vision, you have done a great amount of practical work that ultimately helped many people around you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have faith in the people around you. For

you, this is more than believing in them and having a nice feeling about what they can do. You act as if they already have embodied their potential. You treat them as though they have realized their desired roles completely, and they become bigger in your presence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are self-taught and self-guided. You’ve picked up habits along the way that help you develop in your own way. For instance, you have learned to separate opinion from fact. This week, you’ll listen to knowledgeable people and gain from their insights, but you won’t run your life according to what they suggest. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The plan is unfolding perfectly. The question is: Whose plan? It might not be your plan -- and in many instances this week, it won’t be. Even so, it’s a brilliant plan that involves the implementation of many of your ideas and the fulfillment of many of your wishes. You’ll love how things turn out! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s a book you need to finish. You’ve wanted to do this for a while, but it’s difficult to dedicate the time -- it almost seems selfish. It’s not. Rededicate yourself to the effort -- not because you aspire to reach a state of intellectual magnificence, but because it’s important to finish what you start. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In the words of your sign mate Francis Bacon, “Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.” You will go into a new situation filled with good intentions and a positive feeling about what will come of it. What you learn along the way will help you determine how the arrangement will best fit into your future life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the laser focus necessary to do a job extremely well. You’re also tenacious, and you won’t give up until you’re satisfied that the job is done. The ability to stay on point for as long as you do is a talent that often doesn’t get the praise it deserves. But this week, both you and your work will be applauded. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You will get a great sense of calm from this birthday, which helps you to take in the moments and appreciate the many gifts bestowed on you. Your financial picture brightens as you apply your talents to new tasks. There’s a mentor who helps open opportunities through the next seven weeks. tws

Spaghetti for school By KAREN BOSSICK

E

ach plate of spaghetti that Allison Gasenica and Eliel Lopez served up Saturday night translated into 10 bricks for a new school in Tanzania. And the brownies that Tess Burchmore and Anna Marie Deffe frantically topped with ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream were simply icing on the cake. The youth groups of Our Lady of the Snows and St. Charles Catholic churches served spaghetti Saturday night to raise money for an English primary school for more than 500 boarding and day students in Tanzania. The English used in the school will give the Swahilispeaking students a leg up as they go into the English-speaking secondary schools. “It’s definitely beneficial to everybody,” said Alex Papalian, one of the teen-age servers. Already, 62 Salvatorian Sisters have bought and cleared the land. They need another $302,000 to build the first classrooms and restrooms. “Every dollar buys a brick—and we need 43,000. It’s definitely cheaper than the $35 million we spend here in the United States for a middle school,” said Adele Miller, a former Salvatorian Sister/Peace Corps worker in Tanzania and the sister of Sun Valley resident Gail Miller Wray. Sixty percent of the population in Tanzania is under 16, Miller added. Most schools have no books, computers and few means to train future leaders. “Parents beg for good schools. Students attending this school will have a first-class chance to lead their

nation in whatever work they proceed to do.” Among the foods the youth served up Saturday night was a Tanzanian dish that Miller said was a main dish among the Tanzanians. The dish—made of ground peanuts and spinach— was palatable enough to those who tried it. But its appearance didn’t make the diners salivate the way a colorful dish of Kung Pao chicken or crème brulee would have. “I like it. But then I started thinking it looks like what our black Labs throw up all the time,” said Martha Deffe. Diners engaged in a raffle for giraffe chess pieces made of ebony and other Tanzanian souvenirs, such as a broom and fan won by Marcelino Mendiolaza and Sara Lynda Francia. And many took home tin cans to

Make a greener home

H

ere is a simple guide: Most carpeting contains hazardous chemicals; choose hardwood floors, washable rugs, and vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters. Upholstered furniture is treated with stain repellants and fire retardants that are toxic chemicals; choose natural materials. New paint releases toxic chemicals; switch to low-VOC paint. Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors where pollutants can be five times higher than outdoors. Let the fresh air in regularly. Indoors and outdoors, pesticides are a serious health risk to you and your pets. Use organic lawn care. Not all pollutants go up the chimney; carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates drift through your home. Switch to tight-sealed gas fireplaces. Dry-cleaning! Perchloroethylene can cause headaches, liver and kidney damage. Hand wash, hang dry or have your clothes “wet cleaned.” Food: pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, artificial colorants, additives! The EPA says 30 percent of insecticides 60 percent of herbicides and 90 percent of fungicides are carcinogenic. Eat organic. Meat: Most meats are grown with drugs and growth hor-

mones; eat organic, low-fat meat and dairy products. Water: Plastic bottles are unsafe. Add a filter to your faucet; refill stainless steel bottles. Cleaning products: Conventional cleaners have many toxic chemicals that cause health problems ranging from skin irritation to death. Dispose of them CAREFULLY. Replace with eco-friendly alternatives. Plastic shower curtains: PVC chemicals can volatilize into the air and be inhaled; replace with non-PVC curtains or glass doors. Avoid personal care products containing hazardous chemicals (dyes, antimicrobial soap, fragrance, formaldehyde, sodium larylsulfate) and choose natural, organic, fragrance-free products. tws

a recipe‌from my table to yours

Pooch in love with snow

B

eing from southern Louisiana, I missed the food and wanted to bring the taste of home to this area. I chose this recipe because it is simple to make, yet very different, and I haven’t found one person in Idaho who dislikes it. All of my friends enjoy it and I get satisfaction from the look on their faces when they first taste it. I was forced to learn how to cook for myself when I went to college. I started making up my own recipes and trying new things and eventually had my friends sample my cooking. One thing led to another, and I started entertaining frequently. I have lived in the Wood River Valley for five years now and have enjoyed every moment. I’m mesmerized by the beauty of the mountains that surround this area. The community is extraordinary. I enjoy the small town and low-key environment. I recently started AZN Tableau Catering and absolutely love sharing my passion for cooking with people who haven’t been exposed to tws authentic Asian and Cajun cuisine.

Ahead of the Curve, from page 1 since its 2006 inception. An attorney and consultant were recently added. We should consider whether there could be a better composition for the Commission. Public accountability lies in having elected officials on the URA, but does Ketchum’s complete overlap undermine objectivity? Is it possible that City Council issues might blur with URA issues and vice-versa? Weak public accountability: I know little about how Ketchum’s URA was implemented. Community involvement is a central tenet, however, of URA operations. Unfortunately, I could find little information on Ketchum’s website to learn about its URA; the one map I found (on Google) has no street names to orient the reader. All this can be reversed, however. One citizen has asked the URA to prepare a full report of its actions on all projects to date, highlighting successes and failures. She would like the report to enable the URA and the public to move forward together with realistic goals and responsible, educated decisions for stewardship of public funds. Her excellent idea should be an annual URA responsibility. Effective financial management: A key question is whether URA monies should be managed conservatively or aggressively. While some URA’s accrue funds before starting a renewal project, others, such as Ketchum, take on debt and proceed with projects. A good question is whether this is the most prudent choice. Another critical question is whether private enterprise should receive development subsidies from public funds. In other words, was the URA’s inclusion of Sun Valley Company’s property at River Run appropriate? Should the URA be assisting any private development that would have happened anyway? And can the waivers granted by the URA for the developer’s benefit be shown to be worth their return on the public’s investment? These questions are relevant to existing and potential URAs. As URAs come under closer scrutiny, they must be sure to act properly and yield real economic benefits to the public in tws return for its investment.

The truth about your knee pain

Interventions for Osteoarthritis By KIM MAZIK

M

any people wrongly believe that osteoarthritis (OA) is a malady of the elderly or that once changes have started within the joint, there is nothing that can be done short of a total knee replacement. Wrong! Keep reading to discover the truth. When patients have a swollen, aching knee that prevents them from enjoying life, physical therapists (PTs) can employ a variety of interventions to not only relieve symptoms, but to actually restore more normal function. For example, any painful condition of the knee can result in the loss of proper muscular firing/ control of a specific part of the quadriceps muscle (called the VMO) and the commonly observed atrophy of the inner thigh muscle. Failure to re-train this important muscle alters the mechanics of the knee, causing even more pain and dysfunction. Studies have shown that when a patient performs a simple ‘quad setting’ exercise (isometric contraction of the thigh to retrain the VMO), there is an increase in the molecular weight of the synovial fluid within that knee. This fluid is a naturally occurring substance within the joint that acts like a lubricant between the joint surfaces and provides protection. Many people wrongly believe that just because they are active, the leg muscles must be strong. In my 25 years as a PT, I have treated high-level athletes with knee pain who’ve had significant

muscle imbalances around the hip. Since these muscles attach to the long thigh bone (femur), they also strongly influence the knee. Patients are puzzled by this, asking: “How can I be so weak if I _____(run, hike, ski, surf, etc)?” I try to explain it this way: It’s similar to the default setting on your computer, meaning that your body will automatically use what is strong and readily available to it. Thus, the weak muscles are allowed to continue to under-function. You, of course, are completely unaware of all this; you only know that your knee hurts! Embarrassing as this is to admit, I have experienced this personally. I’ve known since I was in my late 30s that I have OA due to injuries starting as a teenager. A few years ago I was having increasingly greater hip, back and knee pain with hiking and squatting and was considering a knee replacement surgery. A PT friend did a very thorough exam and discovered that three major muscle groups at the hip were pathetically weak. Three months later, after the proper retraining, I was nearly pain-free! Remember, just because we cannot change the presence of bone spurs or regions of bone on bone, doesn’t mean we are unable to influence the physiology of the joint, improve joint health, and change a person’s (my!) life. tws

March is ethics awareness month By MARTY MILLER

I

n this column, the focus has always been on ways to help the consumer make wise choices in their financial product decision-making. An important and broad element, which has yet to be discussed, is the matter of ethics. The month of March is designated as Ethics Awareness Month and it seems appropriate then to add this to the column. Most of us pay little attention to ethics. That is, until we or someone we know has been victimized by an act we would deem unethical. But where do ethics come from and who determines what is acceptable versus unacceptable behavior? The American legal system provides a bit of a framework, but to me, it has always seemed merely to be a starting point—the lowest common denominator, if you will. If we defined ethics on our own individual terms, we’d likely slump to what was referred to in a seminar I attended, put on by the Better Business Bureau, as the “Doctrine of Relative Filth.” We tend to think not so badly of ourselves as long as there are worse examples we can point to. We judge ourselves by our best intentions, our most noble acts and our most virtuous habits. Others are more likely to judge us by our last worst act. In reality, our sense of eth-

ics tends to be formed by our relationships – family, friends, church, group affiliations, our workplace and our community. When I’ve asked others to define ethics, integrity and character are words that seem to always be used. Always linked to them is the word honesty. Think of someone not likely to waiver when confronted by selfishness and you’ve pretty well summed up an ethical person. I relate ethics to this column because those of us who participate in writing it each week should be described as a “professional.” The consumer, because of the complex nature of the purchase of financial products and services – including insurance – is nearly forced to surrender themselves to the care, custody and control of the professional. The same thing can be said of those who are doing your taxes for you, providing legal counsel, setting a broken bone for you, etc. A professional, then, is someone who should possess a sincere commitment to high ethical standards and has a prevailing attitude of altruism – unselfish concern for the welfare of others. Most “unethical” activities involve financial gain for the person with the power and in the position of advantage, but not always. Harassment in the workplace is a prime example. Nearly

always unethical behaviors involve lying, cheating or both. At the bottom line – how can you be assured the professional you’re entrusting yourself to is, in fact, ethical? What can you find out from others about their reputation? The electronic age of websites, Facebook and Twitter can help you do some fast research. There is always the Better Business Bureau. As relates to insurance, did you know the Idaho Department of Insurance includes a consumer section on their website where you can find information or call and speak with someone? It even includes a complaint index, which may help you determine which companies you want to do business with. Does the professional or their business have a code of ethics? Is it posted in their office or at their desk? Do they belong to an association or society, which has a code of ethics they must agree to abide by? We’re all attuned to “getting the best deal,” especially in our current economy. Just don’t lose sight of ethics in the process. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, My friend Rose has had great success dating through the classifieds, but it wasn't using the personals. Let me explain. Once, she answered an ad on a car for sale. The car wasn't what she wanted, but the owner was a handsome divorcee' who took her out to dinner that night. Another time she called a real estate agent about a house for sale in the classifieds. The real estate agent not only found Rose a great house, but also arranged a date for her with her brother. They dated for 3 years. I'm a single girl with a garage full of stuff I don't need. How do I place an ad to get a nice gentleman to give me a call?

• • • Cash: I think you may have stumbled upon a new classified category, "General Merchandise Personals." It could be the newest method to getting a date and cleaning out your attic at the same time. Carry: I can see it now. If you wanted to attract the handyman type, you advertise some tools for sale. Or maybe those looking for the sophisticated man could advertise some books.

Fast Facts Dialing 911

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 03/06/11 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Do you often meet someone interesting, but stumble on how to get his or her phone number? You’re not alone. Many people miss opportunities because they are too shy. If you don't have the nerve to stir up a conversation and ask, we have one piece of advice, do it anyway! You'll be amazed how with a little practice, you can meet all sorts of interesting people. Don't let your shyness stand in the way of meeting new people and having fun.

Budgeting Romance Cash: Granted, it may be a silly

idea, but it is amazing how people meet. We know a couple that met when they had a traffic accident. Talk about getting "hit on". While waiting for the police to arrive, they both got to know one another. Carry: At the wedding they toasted to "running into each other." Cash: Since you have a garage full of stuff, maybe you need an ad for a single male with a sense of organization. Something like, "Single woman seeks eligible bachelor for a romantic afternoon of cleaning my garage." At least if the date doesn't work out, you'll

still get a clean garage. Carry: Kidding aside, your friend may be able to teach you a few tricks to meeting someone. She seems to have a great ability to turn almost any situation into an opportunity. How many people find a house and a boyfriend from one agent? Cash: The next time you're faced with an opportunity to meet someone, make sure you take the chance to strike up a conversation. Carry: And, next time your friend goes to buy something, go along for the ride. Maybe some of her luck will rub off and the agent will have two single brothers.

Many of today's singles beg to differ with the phrase, "You can't put a price on love." Aside from the typical expenses of flowers, dinner and drinks, today's relationship seekers spend countless hours surfing personal ads, filling out personality profiles and chatting with prospective candidates. That adds up to a lot of time and money. However, we’re all willing to make the investment in hopes of meeting the perfect match. •

Reader Humor Sobering Experience

As I get older, I'm not quite as smooth as I used to be on a date. A few weeks ago I was waiting for my date at the bar. When she walked in, I was stunned at how beautiful she looked. I couldn't wait to go greet her, so I grabbed what I thought was my beer and headed toward her to say hello. I thought I was pretty cool, until after a few steps she began to laugh at me. I wasn't sure why until the barmaid tapped me on the shoulder. "Excuse me", she said handing me my beer, "May I please have that ketchup bottle back."

(Thanks to Sheri P.)

510 thank you notes Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Oh, what a night we all had! How can I adequately express our gratitude for such a profound display of love and support? I do so hope that each of you who came had a wonderful time, reconnected and made a few toasts to friendship. To those who came and weren’t able to gain entry, I apologize. To those who found room and joined the festivities, that was flabbergasting! Phil absolutely enjoyed himself and seeing all of you. Yes, he was overwhelmed – for a bit! He was truly taken aback. I don’t think he realized how much he is still adored. Over the course of that evening and over the past few days, while thinking back over the party, so many rich memories and warm thoughts hit his heart, and they will continue to do so. The parts each of you played in his personal story will remain with him always. Thank you. This party was a success because so many people put forth their time and effort to make it happen. I must extend a huge thank you to Jim Kuehn for assisting me with this endeavor and helping to get invites to those in the real estate world. I couldn’t have pulled it off without you, Jim. Also, thank you, Marci, for your lively spirit and willingness to get photos of all who came through the door. You are the greatest! Thanks so much, Copy & Print of Hailey for being patient with me and always on time; to the nexStage Theatre for allowing me to borrow the dais at the last minute; to all those at Shorty’s for assisting me in distributing invites; to Leah and KECH for running the announcement to all who I had no clue as to how to reach; to George Kohn for your time and effort spent spreading the word in Seattle; to Sun Valley Online for availing your service for a vaster viewership; and big kudos to the Idaho Mountain Express and THE WEEKLY SUN papers for y our assistance in getting the word out. Thank you to all of you! Where else but The Pioneer could this party have taken place? It’s Phil’s second home, and for good reason. I can’t expound enough upon how superb all who work at The Pioneer are, as bartenders, hosts, wait staff and friends. You are the reason Phil feels so at home there. You welcome him each night, secure him a seat, and generally spoil him with kindness. Thank you so much for sharing in his special evening. Duffy, thank you for allowing me to pull this off! I shall never forget. Also, to all the Pioneer family of regulars who willingly availed their time to pass on the invites, I thank you. On a personal note – but one I want to share with everyone, too – thank you to all the girls coming home to spend the 80th with your Dad. He loves you all more deeply than words can express, and seeing you all together tickled him to the bottom of his heart. We are lucky to live within such a lovely community. God bless you all. Warmest regards,Jan Gillis **10**

rock cover-classics band, Hoodwink ( http://www.myspace.com/hoodwinkrocks ), that once again totally rocked the house last weekend -this time at Whiskey’s. **10** Highest praise possible for everyone there at Ketchum Kitchen. Your staff and your selection are both truly wonderful. **10** The staff at Tully’s is one of the best I’ve encountered ANYWHERE in the Valley. They’re always incredibly cheerful, conscientious and very patient -- even with those infamous customers of theirs who seem to always only buy one cup of coffee ... and then spend, like, four hours in there on their laptop!!
