It’s a culinary mystery By KAREN BOSSICK

Y

ou probably won’t find Colonel Mustard in the library with a sledgehammer. But you will find plenty of tasty food, libations and a library transformed into colorful slices of a Napa Vineyard and New Orleans. It’s Our Moveable Feast—a benefit for The Community Library. This year’s event, described as “a culinary mystery,” will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday at the Ketchum library. It will feature a Killer Silent Auction with such steals as a stay in a country house in Provence, a week-long trip on the

Main Salmon River with Mackay Bar Wilderness Trips, a getaway to Seattle, a stay at a Great Camp in the Adirondacks and a beach home next to White Sands Beach in Kona, Hawaii. There’ll be mystery balloons, with one boasting a prize that even Al Capone might covet. And $10 raffle tickets, which can be bought in advance, will give the lucky winner two tickets to The Community Library’s Home Tour and Opening party—a gala on Aug. 6 with Michael Clinton , director of Hearst magazines. This year’s chair Kaz Thea is commandering more than a hundred volunteers—many of

them new. Among them, Leslie Silva, wife of Sun Valley’s General Manager Tim Silva. Sun Valley Company is participating for the first time,

Dick Young, who says he spends plenty of time searching out the clues to “old mysteries” in the library’s regional history department, came dressed to last year’s Moveable Feast like Sherlock Holmes sniffing out clues to the trail of food. Young will have plenty of detective work to do this year since the theme is “A Culinary Mystery.” Photo: KAREN BOSASICK

hether it’s singing, dancing, acting or painting, Wood River senior Erin Burbank is quite simply an artist. In speaking with her it’s hard to pin her down on defining herself. “I like doing it all�, she said. “It’s all a way to express myself and that’s what I love the most.� Born in Redwood City, California she moved to the Wood River valley at the age of eight. She has attended Hemingway Elementary, Wood River Middle School, and now is ready to graduate from high school. “I love it here because of the people and because you feel so safe. You can go out anywhere and never have to worry.� She has traveled Erin Burbank to California, Michigan and by: JONathan Florida and loves KANE returning home “but I’m not a winter person.

Glass Menagerie concludes By KAREN BOSSICK

at a glance

skyscraper of sorts has grown up in The Liberty Theatre, its bricks painstakingly painted in detail by Dennis Rexroad to add a touch of realism. Company of Fools has taken the same painstaking care to construct one of the skyscrapers of the theatre—Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie.� Under the direction of Denise Simone, the Fools’ version is filled with warmth and humor as it tells the story of a family that continues to hope for better, despite the challenges life has handed it. Tom wants more to life than the shoe factory can offer him. Mother would like a suitor for her disabled daughter. And Laura can’t help but wonder if there’s a life for her beyond her glass animals and old records. “She’s on a journey of selfdiscovery,� said Aly Wepplo, who plays Amanda. “And when she opens herself up to the gentleman caller she discovered that what she hated about herself is actually beautiful.� Claudia McCain, meanwhile, is quick to come to the defense

What: “The Glass Menagerie� When: Tonight through Saturday Where: The Liberty Theatre Tickets: $25 for adults, $18 for seniors 62 and over and $10 for students 18 and under.

of the mother whom she says sometimes gets a bad rap as being overbearing. “She is actually a sympathetic character who has been knocked down over and over but always picks herself up at the end of the day,� said McCain, who plays Amanda. “She embraces her children so much. She may seem overbearing but it’s only because she wants so much good for her children.� The cast is rounded out by David Janeski, who plays Tom, and Adam Kroeger, who plays the gentleman caller. twp

GENERAL INFORMATION

Rodeo park fundraising

The City of Hailey and its partners have joined forces to kick off a fundraising campaign for the Hailey Rodeo Park to be located on the rodeo grounds. The first-of-its-kind partnership is built from diverse interests and employs a master plan that includes a multi-use event arena built to rodeo dimensions, a refrigerated ice rink, improvements to the skate park, a visitors center, a celebration of the rich history of the property, and creation of public art and an entrance to Hailey. The property is in need of extensive repair or redevelopment, and the Sawtooth Rangers’ long-term lease expires in 2010. Donations to help achieve the vision can be made through the City of Hailey at www.haileycityhall. org or the Hailey Parks Foundation at www.haileyparks.org.

Habitat for Humanity home is halfway there By KAREN BOSSICK

A

year after finishing up the first Habitat for Humanity home in Bellevue, the Blaine County chapter is ready to have another go at it—this time at a duplex that could provide affordable housing for two families. And just $50,000 more would get them in on the ground floor. The chapter has raised $50,000 of the $100,000 needed to match an anonymous challenge grant of $100,000. The $50,000 has come from Wood River Valley residents, businesses and foundations in the form of $25, $50, $100 and $200 donations, said Habitat board member Dayle Fowler. “We’re looking at building a duplex that would give two families a home. So we’d be building a two-for-one house with two-for-one dollars,” said Fowler. “And the money that the homeowners pay for their home would be applied to the next home so it would be like a legacy that keeps paying forward.” As in the past, the home will be built with the help of the homeowners, community volunteers and tax-deductible donations of money, land and construction materials. Once completed, the duplex will be sold to homeowners for no profit with a no-interest mortgage based on ability to pay.

Monthly payments then will go back to Habitat for Humanity in Blaine County to build additional homes. Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County, a volunteer organization consisting of nine members with experience in building, design, finance and management, has identified land in Bellevue and near Hailey that they hope they might be able to use for their next project or projects, said Maryanne Whitcomb, co-chair of the organization. And Ketchum architect Carolyn Wicklund has drawn up plans for a duplex. Duplexes are not the usual practice for Habitat homes. But the local chapter has deemed them the most practical type of home for an area like the Wood River Valley where land costs are so expensive, said chapter cochair Art Dahl. The chapter hopes to use Wicklund’s plans more than once to keep the costs down, said board member Tom Harvey. And Habitat has gotten the city of Bellevue to amend an ordinance that would allow them to build an affordable housing duplex on lots previously zoned for one home. That effectively cuts the cost of land in half, Dahl said. In addition to cash donations, the group welcomes donations of land. “If a developer gave us three acres, we could build 12 du-

plexes—that’s 24 homes,” said Dahl. The group, which has been under the umbrella of the Magic Valley’s Habitat for Humanity, has gone after full affiliate status that would allow it to deal directly with Habitat for Humanity International. It would also allow the Wood River group to tailor its strategies to fit a resort community, Dahl said. Dahl said the group learned a lot from its first project in Bellevue, which went to a sheriff’s deputy with several children: “We learned about cost control and things like lowering the pitch of the roof to make the building part easier for volunteers.” The project provided a community service outlet for students who had been suspended from school, said Whitcomb: “The counselor told us they could see changes in the kids—they were more cooperative and worked better as a team after they got involved twp with our project.”

MORE INFO Tax-deductible donations to meet the challenge grant may be sent to Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County, P.O. Box 10143, Ketchum, Idaho 83340. For more information, call 1-208726-0160 or e-mail office@hfhblaine.org

ERC asks: What is dioxin?

Beware of dioxin, the most harmful carcinogenic man-made substance in existence. Dioxin, the name for a family of 75 different organochlorine chemicals, has been linked not only to cancer, but to serious medical problems like liver and kidney diseases, birth defects, damage to the immune, reproductive and respiratory systems, skin diseases, diabetes, even death. What is frightening is that dioxin can produce these effects at much lower exposure level than other hazardous chemicals. Dioxin is added to our cleaning products, soaps, dish and laundry detergents, mouthwash, deodorant, cutting boards, mops and sponges. Anything labeled antibacterial or antimicrobial exposes you to this hazardous toxin. WHAT TO DO: Read labels carefully, beware of non-descriptive terms such as “quality control ingredients” or “cleaning agents.” They probably hide toxins. Look for companies that voluntarily disclose their ingredients. Trust names like EcoVer, Seventh Generation, Earth

Friendly, Biokleen, and Mrs. Meyers. You don’t need chemicals to disinfect your home. Replace your synthetic disinfectant with a nontoxic all-purpose cleaner. Look for all-purpose cleaners that contain at least two or three essential oils (lemon, thyme, juniper, sage, spruce, lemongrass, tangerine or grapefruit). Cleaners with essential oils have natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, disinfecting properties. Make your own: Add a quarter of a cup of white vinegar to a bucket of hot water plus 5 to 10 drops of essential oil. Keep it in spray bottles. You’ll be amazed how well it works and how better you’ll feel (not too mention your wallet!). For more information read Green This! By Deirdre Imus, call ERC 726-4333 www.ercsv.org Editor’s Note

The World Health Organization’s fact page on dioxins at www.who.int/mediacentre/ factsheets/fs225/en/index.html may be helpful for those seeking to research this chemical further.

Our shrinking self-importance

M

y recent articles on the culture of the Sahara (the future?) by: BALI gave rise to SZABO the idea of our shrinking self-importance in the face of far greater things. As gardeners, we connect with larger forces immediately upon tilling the ground, whether we know it or not. As a traveler, I’ve come face to face with immensity. Actually, its everywhere. We’re like the military, trying to get a small area cordoned off and under control - bases, outposts, defense perimeters, our lives. Good luck. The most intimidating parts of the world that quickly show us how small we are, are oceans, mountains, deserts, natural disasters and the cosmos. Every one of these habitats for non-humanity are growing, to our detriment. I don’t want to ruin your sleep and dwell on what none of us can control. I simply find it interesting that such disparate environments all have one thing in common - they reduce us to almost nothing, laughably small. Call it forced humility training. This can be experienced amicably by a taste of these environments without a life threatening immersion ( adventure ). We can also force ourselves into potentially hopeless situations ( expeditions, some extreme sports, combat, vision quests ) or have

them thrust upon us ( ordeal ). If ever you need to feel good about yourself or humanity, the sizeable literature of survival is a garden of stories about overcoming impossible odds - Lindhberg, Shackleton, Saint-Exupery, Ishmael, Byrd, Thesinger, Chichester, Sayer, etc. Even for those who court it, the drama of immensity quickly evaporates our paltry defenses. We quickly have two enemies - a circumstance indifferent to our fate, and ourselves. In a desert just stop drinking and see how difficult it is to maintain a coherent thought. Same thing happens to mountaineers above the 25,000’ kill zone. We become paralyzed by fear, we panic, we develop tunnel vision. Other weaknesses kick in - subterfuge, denial, deceit, willful ignorance, and at times, a death wish. Our adrenaline laden

fight or flight responses occur at the same time. If we survive this initial blow, the big picture of reality slowly takes over. We have to accept, take it minute by minute and start to cope. Once our b.s. gets wrung out, we’re more naked than the Emperor with no clothes. We’re down to the elemental. Our subconscious takes over. We begin to see things about ourselves we never knew, good and bad. Forced self-reliance leads to self - reinvention, self - discovery, and finally self - knowledge. I don’t wish this life and death crisis on anyone, but a true experience with immensity, be it a glimpse, an adventure or a cathartic ordeal twp helps us become real.

entrepreneurs...................................................................... from pg 1 theme of management training was and is to produce managers able to coordinate people, money, and strategic planning in cause and effect ways over time that will achieve a targeted business outcome. Enter entrepreneurship as an academic field about 15 years ago. Caught in a mindset built around the study of complex organizations, academics viewed entrepreneurs in much the same way they viewed managers. When sparked by a novel idea, the entrepreneur was directed to the well-marked sequential path of market research, financial projections, team formation, business plan preparation, financing, manufacturing, distribution, sales and, ultimately (with some luck), success. This emphasis on cause and effect thinking typified American education in general and is probably exactly why Bill Gates never completed his Harvard education. It was too systematic, logical, and constraining to a young man, a brilliant entrepreneur, who just wanted to get on with it. In reality, what Gates was probably using was what is now defined as “effectual reasoning,” the converse of causal reasoning and what appears to be the dominant mode of thinking for successful entrepreneurs around the country. “Effectual reasoning” is the term coined by Saras Saras-

vathy, a University of Virginia professor whose research is redefining how the entrepreneurial mind works. She describes effectual reasoning as a method of human problem solving that assumes the future emerges from human action in the here-and-now. In other words, familiar and useful causal reasoning is based on predicting the future and then acting to control it. By contrast, effectual reasoning finds prediction a waste of time, because adaptive present action is what shapes the future. Sarasvathy describes entrepreneurs as starting very small with whatever means they have and then quickly moving to action without significant planning. While causal reasoning requires planning before acting on an idea, effectual reasoning lives and breathes through acting creatively right from the start. Sarasvathy writes that, for effectual thinkers, “Plans are made, unmade, revised and recast through action and interaction with others on a daily basis.” According to Sarasvathy, entrepreneurial success with an innovative idea depends on three factors: who the entrepreneur is (personality and motivation), what the entrepreneur knows (education and experience), and whom the entrepreneur knows (interpersonal networks). Pretty basic and rather intuitive factors!

The entrepreneur’s brainstorm is gradually shaped, often into a very different final product or service, as the entrepreneur learns and networks flexibly and spontaneously in response to presenting contingencies, such as customer needs, financial downturns, personal crises, marketing and technology developments. The entrepreneurial juice comes from shaping and reshaping, i.e. problem solving, an original idea until it fits exactly what stakeholders indicate they want. From the start, then, an entrepreneur must be opportunistic in the best sense. Business plans should be short and written in disappearing ink, because whatever an entrepreneur started with, it is guaranteed to change. Success will come only if the entrepreneur is willing to continually learn and grow personally, respond to developments in a fast-changing world, and relate openly and with curiosity to those who can assist their success in one way or twp another.

Oh My! So thick and heavy you might get lost in it!

had some difficulty visiting my friend in the hospital, since the administrators had initiated a temporary lockdown. She had experienced a serious crash in the backcountry and the communications delay exacerbated her poor condition. St. Luke’s physicians had performed another miracle though; and she was probably going to be okay. However, with the local hypnotherapist absent, the high dosage of pain medicine they were required to treat her with made it prudent to keep our visit a brief one. With this in mind; plus, my still being emotionally torn between Susanne and Lana, it felt like a good time to take the dog for a long reflective walk in the desert. After we parked at the desolate Picabo turnoff, Bud yipped with delight, as I tied on my hiking boots. We headed east, under cool crepuscular skies, and journeyed to one of my favorite reflecting spots: Chalk Cave. I hadn’t been there since I was a young lad, though I often had thought of this sacred spot during the course of my world travels. As we walked along, I noticed several baseball-sized orbs of dark gleaming obsidian. In younger years, I might have pocketed one or two of the glass spheres, but my time invested in far-flung anthropological field pursuits, had instilled in me a new degree of respect for indigenous artifacts. Soon; after we passed by what was still a temptation, Bud began digging around the rusted remnants of an old cowboy camp, unearthing a tin of chewing tobacco from 1919. Remarkably, when I cracked open the can; the ancient weed still seemed fresh! To make sure, it felt best to soak it in a thimble of Old Overholt, and then sample a taste. Boy Howdy! This tobacco was definitely perfect. The spirited buzz started kicking in right as we approached the cave entrance. Showing respect for the bats (this was no place

for a cockatiel) I rolled out a high-tech canvas for Bud and me to perch on, outside the small lava tube opening. There was some dry sage around, and I gathered enough for us to warm ourselves near the windy cave entry. As a thankful offering, I tossed a small pinch of tobacco into the modest campfire, and it instantly popped back, with some blue and green fiery sparks. Then, a small smoke cloud, leisurely wafted off the fire, over to the east facing cave wall, where I noticed some uninterpretable petroglyphs above a shelf of crystals. These mysterious writings brought me back to my extensive studies in Asia, where I remembered discovering that, in Chinese, the written symbol for ‘quarrel’ is two women standing under the same roof: Not only that, but the Chinese glyph for ‘gossip’ is three women grouped tightly together. Why were my ears buzzing? I knew it wasn’t from the fortified tobacco. Now was supposed to be the appointed time for me to sit down and weigh the important decision about what to do regarding Lana and Susanne. But I felt so stuck. Should I let indecision be a defense mechanism for a short span, or must I break cave protocol and enter the womb to keep my ears from buzzing, out here in the cacophonous atmospheric elements? Who were the girls talking with right now anyway? And what about? And what of my injured friend, slowly recovering at the closed twp ward?

About the author: Jim Banholzer is a real man who performs real work. As a sideline, he is an itinerant Idaho newspaper commentator, transmogrifying into a blogger. He has not tasted or smoked ancient tobacco this decade, but enjoys writing about it; as well as taking pleasure in unearthing other offbeat Idaho items of interest - imagn’d or not.

W

hen Rachel Corrie was 10 she stated that her dream was by: Karen to stop Bossick hunger by the year 2000, saving the 40,000 people who starve to death each year. “We have got to understand that the poor are all around us and we are ignoring them,� she said at her school’s fifth-grade Press Conference on World Hunger. Corrie didn’t stop hunger by the year 2000. But she didn’t ignore the poor, either. At age 23 this skinny, Daliloving, list-maker left her comfortable home in Olympia, Wash., to go to Palestine where she worked for peace, helping to repair broken water mains and roads, retrieve the bodies of those killed by sniper fire and watching in horror as greenhouses full of tomatoes and peas were destroyed, apartments evacuated and houses demolished. Eventually, Rachel paid the ultimate price—slashed by the blade of a bulldozer as she tried to place herself between it and the home the bulldozer was about to crush. Her death—and the thousand questions she had in life—have been memorialized in the play “My Name is Rachel Corrie,� which was first presented at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 1005. Charlotte Hemmings will do a reading of it at 7 p.m. Friday evening at the nexStage Theatre as part of the Ketchum theatre’s play reading series. Complimentary cookies and wine will be provided. “It’s the most controversial play reading we’ve ever done,� said Jon Kane, who organizes the readings. “They haven’t been able to do this play in the United States.� The play reading is one of a host of free things to do for those who plan a Staycation during this coming week’s Spring Break or even for those tourists who happened to spend their Spring Break in Sun

briefs Region lands $700,000 energy grant from Idaho OER

The Christmas Day blackout was blamed on a “perfect storm� of ice, cold temperatures, and high power consumption. Seeking ways to reduce that energy use, a collaboration between local governments and nonprofits just landed the largest Office of Energy Resources grant made for energy efficiency. Idaho OER awarded our region $700,000 to reduce energy use, create local jobs, and reduce our carbon footprint. This funding will leverage approximately $800,000 in additional funds from the partners. The local Climate Protection Regional committee put together the final partners: Blaine and Camas counties, Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue, and Fairfield, and nonprofits, the Environmental Resource Center, the Ketchum Community Development Corporation and the Community Library. The collaboration maximizes local impact while gaining economies of scale. Overall, it was a clever approach to a complicated situation. When complete, this project will save over 2.16 million kilowatts of energy, create over a dozen jobs, and save homeowners, business owners, and taxpayers thousands in energy-related costs. All the work needs to be completed by late September 2012. For more details on how the money will be spent, visit www.ercsv.org under Green Communities.

Janss Pro-am shows character

A

beer keg schussed down the slopes of Baldy on Saturday, followed by a lederhosenby: Karen wearing man Bossick with two beer steins strapped to his ski poles. A pajama party led by Casper Van Winterfeldt in Sponge Bob Squarepants attire was followed by a big turkey named Tyler Palmer who sprayed a blizzard of snow at the bottom of the race course. And, yup, even the White House’s most famous party crashers showed up, thanks to Olympic snowboarder Sondra Van Ert and Aaron Blaker. The colorful commotion was part of the 13th Annual Janss Pro Am party, which raises money to support some 500 youngsters in the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s ski and snowboard program. The three-day extravaganza included a limbo contest and Mardi Gras party at Whiskey Jacques, a cocktail party at Michel’s Christiania and a sitdown dinner at Sun Valley’s Limelight Room. Langely McNeal didn’t need to be told how big the stakes are. The No. 2 American ski cross racer in the United States, she grew up in the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation program and fondly recounts “all the great moments.� “I used to stand on top of Greyhawk and then race to the bottom. There was just so much great energy. I got involved in skier cross after I

saw it on TV during college—I love the jumps and getting air,� said Langely, a member of the 2009/2010 World Cup Ski Cross Team. “But the Ski Education Foundation taught me more than how to race to the bottom and get air. It taught me how to get my school work done, how to learn to get along with others, how to Faye Kirby came as the Olympic flame. PhotoS: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP be a competitor but remain humble, how to get up in the morning so I could get skiing,� she added. The race featured a mix of pros and amateurs with a handicapping formula figured into the outcome. Bedford Nabors, dressed in a huge Mexican sombrero to represent Cinco de Mayo, was among those participating in her first race. “It was a lot of fun. A little intimidating. But once you go through that little thing at the top—the starting gate?—the rest is fine.� Mary Beth Riordan dressed as the Tim Flaherty donned the

Alturas Lake Soup Kitchen

Family of Woman Film Series bears repeating By KAREN BOSSICK

A record number of cross country skiers took advantage of sun and temperatures in the lower 40s to turn out for Sunday’s Soup Kitchen Special at the Sawtooth Ski Festival at Alturas Lake.

t was not a peace film. Nor was it a war movie. Instead, “The Lemon Tree” presented a glimpse of life as it is for those who live in the uneasy land that is Israel. Produced by Ketchum homeowner Marcia Riklis and her cousin Eran Riklis—who is one of Israel’s best-known filmmakers--it was one of five films shown last week during the Third Annual Family of Woman Film Festival. It illustrated how valuable such a film festival can be. It helped those sitting in the audience understand the uneasy tension that exists in Israel in a way they might not have before. As Hailey artist Christina Healy said during the festival: “My soul has been stirred and shaken. I love these films—they help me visualize things I’ve read about.” The film depicted the life of an Arab woman who had happily spent her days tending the lemon grove her father had planted when she was a child. That familiar scene was shattered when the newly appointed Israeli Minister of Defense moved in next door, necessitating the construction of security towers, the construction of a fence around the grove and the eventual pruning of the beautiful trees. The film did not have a Hol-

lywood ending—after all, tension is still high on the Green Line. But it did show how two women from very different backgrounds could come to an understanding of one another as part of their own tortured search for peace, even if they never met over coffee. And it shows how, in the end, it’s not about the wall that has gone up in Israel but, rather, about real people searching for a way to know and understand each other. “We were not trying to make a political statement but to display the complex nuances of life in Israel,” said Marcia Riklis following the showing. The film, which Eran cowrote with a Palestinian writer, did not meet as good a reception as hoped because it debuted when Infitada was at its worst. But there were bright spots—the Queen of Jordan, for instance, showed the film as an example of what can be accomplished through collaboration. Sun Valley resident Peggy Goldwyn, who started the film series, said the feedback she received from people at this year’s festival will fuel her to present another. “People told me over and over again how much these films meant to them, how much they’ve learned from them. And the films are making a difference all over the world.” twp

a recipe…from my table to yours TWP: Why did you choose this recipe? Betty: Many people think Mexican food cannot be healthy, but this recipe, using eggplant and tomatoes, can be made in a healthy way. If you use the yogurt instead of sour cream, that helps. You can also use olive oil. TWP: How did you get interested in cooking? Betty: I learned to cook from my grandmother when I was a very young girl. It was expected because I was one of the oldest of 7 children and I helped out in all household tasks. I enjoy cooking though, and try to fix things that are a little healthier than my grandmother made. TWP: How long have you lived in the Wood River Valley? Betty: Five years. TWP: What do you like about the Valley? Betty: Sometimes it can be a very cold winter, but this year it was not too bad. I love hiking in the summers with my daughters, and I love being in the mountains, camping and fishing.

Keeping in Touch: Body and Soul By Vee Riley

tunity to explore the human body functions after the ski season. The milk-white fluid called lymph collects in dozens of nodes scattered throughout the body. They act as garbage collectors, carrying away impurities and debris. Think of the nodes as filters that keep the flow moving in a normal way. Remember, the lymphatic system does not have a pump to pump it. It is up to us to move it along, through the breath, diet, exercise, and massage. Spring is a time of release, rebirth and new beginnings. Take time to celebrate! Create your own ritual. This can be as simple or elaborate as you would like it. Light a candle or perhaps find a sunny spot outside and reflect. Spend time with your thoughts and feelings. State that you are there to honor spring. Keeping one’s mind and emotions free of toxins allows room for a joyful soul. When the solemn mantle of winter fades and the snow melts on my hillside, there will be a solid burst of color as the wildflowers awaken after a long winter’s nap. May a touch of new life be yours this spring! twp

s the snow melts and the frozen ground begins to thaw, the universe is proclaiming a cycle of change. The excitement of spring is on its way. This brings back memories of my early years spent in Missouri where I enjoyed the four seasons just as we do in the Wood River Valley. To some, spring means a dreamy, romantic time, but not to my hard-working mother. To her, it suggested a time for spring housecleaning. This consisted of throwing the living room rug over the clothesline, picking up a broom and beating it. A real aerobic experience, farmwise! Then came the waxing of the hardwood floors, washing and stretching of the lace curtains and various other tasks. There was always a touch of new life, whether it be wallpaper, paint or the addition of a new room. The body itself needs an inner cleaning, especially after the flu, colds, etc. It is called body pollution. This means blockages in the muscles, arteries, circulation, and the lymphatic system, otherwise known as disease. The lymphatic system has been referred to as the body’s garbage disposal. Wastes such as lactic acid (a substance that accumulates from muscle contraction) can become blocked. Movement and circulation are restricted, creating a body that does not want to get up in the morning. What a marvelous oppor-

Paralympian Mark Bathum sets sight M

ark Bathum can’t see the bumps in the terrain he skis over. Nor can he see the gates he races around. But that hasn’t by: Karen Bossick kept him from setting his sights on a gold medal in the Paralympics, which start Friday in Vancouver, British Columbia. Bathum will be racing for gold in downhill, Super G, Super Combined, Slalom and Giant Slalom—on the heels of 24-year-old Sun Valley native Slater Storey. Bathum, whose family has had a condo in Sun Valley since the early 1970s, grew up with dreams of becoming a ski racer. He trained at Washington State’s Mission Ridge Racing Academy—one of the first skiing academies in the Northwest—as a youngster. He was a top seed in the 1977 and 1978 Junior Nationals and competitive on the NorAm and CanAm circuits. But by 17 he was beginning to lose his sight to retinitis pigmentosa. He can see someone’s face at a handshake distance but can’t see Slater Storey skiing three gates ahead of him. Bathum shelved his ski racing and settled in Seattle, providing marketing and websites for online automobile dealers with Cobalt. But a few years ago, he told himself it was now or never. At 51, if he was ever going to go to the Paralympics he was going to have to do it now. He enlisted the help of Storey, whom he met at a competition for disabled skiers at Soldier Mountain, and the two have spent three hours a day six days a week this winter training on the Hemingway race course on Bald Mountain. “Skiing gives me a sense of freedom from my blindness—a sense of flying—I don’t get with other pursuits,� he said. “And Sun Valley is a great place to train. The snow is always better here than most places in the Northwest. How could you not want to ski here?� Storey, a former racer himself, serves as Bathum’s eyes, talking Bathum through the course via a headset.

“There’s a rut at the bottom of gate one,â€? he says, looking back to see if he needs to slow down. “The line is tightening up. Run straight. You’re coming to a knoll‌â€? Storey, a Sun Valley firefighter, is no stranger to adaptive skiing. His sister Elitsa Storey, who lost her right leg because of a birth defect, skied in the 2006 Paralympics at Torino, Italy, and hopes to overcome a left knee injury to medal at this Paralympics. Bathum has a good chance of getting at least one gold medal, says Wood River Ability Program Director Marc Mast, who helped launch both Storey’s and Muffy Davis’ Paralympic careers. But Bathum’s blindness won’t give him any advantage over sighted skiers in Whistler’s oftfoggy conditions. Bathum says he’s rooting for the sun, as clear conditions will help him keep track of Storey’s orange guide vest as Storey

nfortunately, to tell this story I have to go back 20,000 years, if only to mention that back then the Sahara -as- desert was 300 miles futher south than it is today. Over that time span, the Sahara has spread and retreated like a giant, breathing diaphragm. The Sahel, braided around the 16th parallel, is a 3,000 mile long transition zone between North and Tropical Africa, from Mauritania in the west to Egypt in the east, and its spreading. The drought and the desertification that defines this 20 plus percent of the African landmass began about 2000 b.c. Relentless climate change, with each decade worse than the last. Average rainfall is from 2” north to 12” south/year, 80 percent of which evaporates, and the rest is mostly runoff. Before the drought tere were Mediterranean trees and climate. There are 4000 year old olive trees and cypresses in a few of the remote mountain canyons, still alive but unable to reproduce. In 8000 b.c. there were hunters and gatherers, with ample wild game on the savannah grasslands. Around 4000 b.c. cattle herds arrived from the north, and began the Bovine Golden Age, which lasted until 1500 b.c.By then, the drought was 1500 years old. Around this time, the trade routes between Tripoli and Mali brought horses, chariots and militarism. By 500 b.c. the desert began to assert itself - the horse and the wheeled chariot became obsolete in the advancing sand. Around 1 a.d., the camel arrived with the Romans, and the Sahel began to resemble what it is today. This area was a melting pot, created

by multi-cultural interaction, and a trade in copper, gold, iron and salt. Black Africans mixed with Mediterranean Caucasians, who later converted to Islam. In the ensuing years,85% of the blacks became slaves. There are over 400,000 pictographs and petroglyphs that document all these cultural transitions. One of them from circa. 1000 b.c. shows a weeping cow. Today is the wake of a vast past. The Golden Age of the cattle was the beginning of the end. Deforestation, overgrazing, eroded topsoil and a receding aquifer have brought Saharan cultures to their knees. The salt caravans remain, but most trade today is smuggling Like French Colonialism, Western aid is short on wisdom and long on arrogance (there are some notable exceptions, like CARE.) Mankind’s endles miscues have brought chronic malnutrition and a spate of infectious,parasitic and respitory diseases, high infant mortality and shrinking life spans. The political result is armed conflict and genocide. Overpopulation and shrinking arable land have turned the Sahel into one large refugee camp, the chief among them the capitol cities of a dozen nations. During the Rwandan genocide, infanticide, fratricide and patricide were common, because the survivor would get all of what little familial land there was left. The problems in Darfur are drought driven. Its a resource war. Islamic herders and black African farmers are competing for the diminishing supply of water and land. Your brother becomes your competitor. It is the golden age of the AK- 47. twp

The Wood River Community YMCA will present a live satellite broadcast featuring Matisyahu, a cultural icon whose blend of Hasidic, reggae and hip hop music has sold millions of records and garnered fans around the world. In his first visit to the 92nd Street Y on Tuesday, March 16th at 6pm, he will discuss his development as an artist, his latest record, Light and the fusion of his various musical styles. He will also be performing several songs! These unique live broadcasts from the 92nd Street Y in New York have been hosted at the Wood River Community Y over the past two years, and have been a good way for locals to expand their viewpoints beyond the Valley. Cost for members is $5, non-members is $8. Space is limited for this program. You can register online at www.WoodRiverYMCA.org or by calling 208.727.9622.

Child Free Living

Dr. Ellen Walker of Bellingham has published her first book on Village Books’ Espresso Machine titled “I Don’t Have Kids! A Guide to Great Childfree Living.” She has an author appearance and book signing scheduled at Chapter One Bookstore, Sun., Mar. 14 11 am 1 pm. Written by a child free psychologist, the book was written for those considering the option of having children or not. This book features highly personal stories of others facing this decision and the psychological processes that influence them. You will gain useful, unbiased information on how to deal with the problems and possibilities faced as a result of being child free. A percentage of the proceeds of this book are donated to Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood, because “being wanted and loved is the right of every child.”

Youth Circle gets pen pals at Blaine Manor The Youth Circle at Hailey Elementary School partnered up with Blaine Manor this fall and winter. The students wrote letters to a pen pal at Blaine Manor and then visited the residents. Our visit was fabulous! The students engaged in wonderful conversations, and were so compassionate. The residents were very loving,, welcoming and so enthusiastic. Many smiles were found on faces young and old. We plan to go back in the spring. In the picture is Loretta Cartmell and Anna Vargas. Anna is in the 5th grade. The Youth Circle is fortunate to have sponsors like The Hailey Rotary and the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections. These sponsors support our Youth circle and enable them to build healthy relationships with community members. Youth Circle activities are supported by donations through Council Circle Foundation.

T

he Coen brothers have dominated the American film landscape for the past twenty years covering a myriad of genres and styles from the lightweight Burn After Reading to the cult classic The Big Lebowski to the haunting Fargo. Precocious, impudent and at times hilariously funny, they have been able to make a mark on the landscape by merging raw talent with technique and every new film they produce inspires rabid anticipation among movie lovers. Once again they have scored with their richly layered new film A Serious Man and have found the innate humor in

This week’s Horoscopes: Venus and powers of atVenus, the planetary diva who prides herself on her powers of attraction, is not a know-it-all on the subject. As she slips into Aries this week, she seeks out new beauty secrets, fresh for the season. The strong, springy energy of Venus in Aries will invigorate our personal lives and introduce new objects of desire to challenge and excite us. Mercury and Jupiter come together in Pisces to stimulate our powers of imagination. ARIES (March 21-April 19). More love equals more happiness. This starts with the love you put out into the world. This week, you’ll be increasingly tuned in to your own behavior. You will notice when you are expressing yourself out of love and when you are coming at life from a place of ego. Just the noticing will change your life for the better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will create unity among disparate forces. If there is anyone at all who is fighting around you, you’ll have a subtle way of defusing the tension and finding common ground. This you can do even if you remain silent. There is something about your very being that brings peace and reason to the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be casting a role of some kind. Maybe you’ll be seeking the perfect person for a job or starting an important new relationship. This

you ask? Have your questions ready, because answers will be revealed to you this week. There will be an opportunity to connect with a mentor or guru. You will get accurate insight as to what can and can’t be done to get you closer to the life you envision for yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As much as you would like to know in specific and measurable terms how much someone loves you, you usually have to take this person at his or her word. There will be other evidence to take into account -- actions that speak louder than affectionate assertions. You may be very pleased with what you find. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know your mind, and you won’t be afraid to express it. Although you’re ready to let someone know what you really think, consider your motives. Maybe you’ve been hurt by this person and that past

won’t be difficult with the right person. If things don’t go well, take it as a sign that you don’t have the right person yet and keep looking. You deserve the ease of a natural fit. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Money isn’t as important as people think it is. Chasing the dollar leads to hollow victory at best and will usually bring disappointment. Center your goals on something other than money -- like helping others, providing jobs and spreading good will -- and you’ll attract both financial and spiritual abundance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll do better at work (or at finding work) if you expand your friendship base. New contacts don’t have to be people who are obviously in a position to help you out. You’ll be surprised from whence your next bit of fabulous luck comes. It will take an indirect route for sure. So just befriend people you genuinely like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have yet to achieve your goal, and your time is coming soon. Ready yourself, and speed along your process, by being happy for someone who has already arrived. As you celebrate someone else’s success, you get a “helper’s high� -- just as potent as if you had been celebrating your own win. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you met a very wise person, what would

SEC.2/PG6 • theweeklypaperTOO

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I love music, but I certainly don't have a musician's ear. When I hum a tune at a red light, the cars next to me roll up their windows! My wife, on the other hand, grew up playing the piano and singing, but didn't play much while raising our three children. The other day we saw a piano in the lobby of a restaurant where we were waiting. It took a little nudging, but I encouraged her to play a tune. She sounded magnificent and those waiting even applauded. Since her birthday is coming and our kids are all grown, I thought I'd surprise her with a piano of her own. I often see "free" pianos listed in our newspaper that say they just need a tuning. I'm all for keeping something out of the landfill, but without knowing much about the instrument, how do I know if they are still good? Can I just pick one and get it tuned or is there more to it than meets the eye?

•

•

•

Cash: You're in luck. Being

able to carry a tune is not a requirement for buying a piano, although don't be surprised if no one asks you to sing along!

Fast Facts Black and White

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 03/07/10 Š2010 The Classified GuysÂŽ

Carry: Despite a piano's simple appearance, they are very complex instruments. Their internal structure of strings, hammers and sounding boards give them a beautiful sound when they are in tune, but parts can wear out, stretch or warp if not properly maintained. Cash: It is possible to find an older piano for a reasonable price or even free. The trick is to determine which one is worth having tuned or repaired. And since moving any piano can be quite the task, you want to make sure you only do it once! Carry: Before you invest too much time and energy hunting for the birthday piano, it may be

worth surprising your wife with the idea. Considering she is the one who will be playing, she may have a preference as to which style or type she'd like to play and add to your home. Cash: There are hundreds of manufacturers, each with a different "feel" and sound so the selection can be quite vast. Her background with playing the instrument can prove very helpful to finding one in good condition. Carry: Since your wife was adventurous enough to play in a restaurant lobby, your gift idea is sure to be well received. And who knows, maybe one day she'll return the favor and surprise you with singing lessons!

Piano brands like Steinway or Baldwin are two of the original makers of pianos and have been around for a long time. However today, there are over 50 major brand-names of pianos, and in the last 100 years there have been over 5000 different manufacturers. Since about 75% of all piano buyers only purchase one piano in their lifetime, choosing the right one can take some time. There are 13 different size categories of pianos, with names like upright, baby grand or spinet, and each have their own style and sound quality.

Stay Composed

There have been many famous piano players throughout history, but in the 1950's one stood out as a very flamboyant entertainer. Wladziu Valentino Liberace, commonly known as "Liberace", won the hearts of millions. Armed with outrageous outfits, a signature Candelabra and an amazing ability to play the piano, he became the highest paid entertainer in the world from the 1950's through the 1970's. After a lifetime of entertaining, Liberace passed away in 1987 at the age of 67. •

Reader Humor Practice Makes Perfect

Years ago, I worked my way through law school by teaching piano lessons. When I passed the bar, I put that job behind me, or so I thought. Many years later while pleading a client's case to the court, the judge looked at me and asked if I used to teach piano. It turned out that I taught his son during my time in law school. After hearing my case, he then set judgment on my client. "Despite having no priors, I'm sentencing your client to two years probation," he said. He must have noticed my disappointment because he continued, "And for the record, that's a far lesser punishment than having to listen to my son practice piano after your lessons!" (Thanks to Jeremy O.)

pain is coloring your judgment. Get away from passionate situations long enough to gain some objectivity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Slipping into a state of overwhelm is too easy to do when you’re an overachiever. From that mindset, you actually get a lot less done. Avoid becoming overwhelmed by reducing your expectations of yourself this week. It’s enough to accomplish two or three things a day. Prioritize carefully. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are impressionable this week and could be star-struck by people of stature. Don’t be intimidated by appearances. It may seem that others are doing the right thing at the right time in the right way. But if you were to ask them, they would be just as mystified about their lives as you are about yours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No need to change direction or attain

anything new. You gain the most this week when you focus on an attribute you already possess and develop it. This quality will blossom as a major part of your being. Everyone who knows you will describe you in the same way -- by that attribute you are now developing. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You get things done because you have definite ideas and are able to communicate them with flare. This month, don’t worry too much about whether your plans are feasible. The most important thing is that you’re growing and moving forward. Your home gets a makeover or you move in April. Loved ones give you reason to celebrate in May. In June, you take control of the work situation, and everyone is more productive because of your leadership. August brings a windfall.
