ost Idahoans are familiar with the cowboy. But few have seen them as Kendall Nelson and John Plummer have. The Hailey photographer and videographer have watched a cowboy braiding a lasso from the hide of a horse that died on the range. They’ve watched cowboys caring for their cattle despite torn sternums and shoulder blades, busted ribs, even lungs that had been “knocked loose.� And they’ve talked with men who are the type to liken a fine mare to a Cadillac. The two have documented what they believe may be some of the last true American cowboys in a 52-minute film dubbed “Gathering Remnants.� The title was taken from a rancher’s description for gathering stray cattle. The film has been shown on the Documentary Channel, where it made the 2011 ‘Best of Docs’ Sweepstakes finals. And it’s making the rounds of Europe. But Nelson and Plummer have never had the opportunity to show it to hometown friends. They’ll get that chance this weekend during the inaugural Sun Valley Film Festival, which offers four days of indie films at the Sun Valley Opera House and Magic Lantern Cinema beginning Thursday. “Gathering Remnants,� which took two years to film, will be shown at 8:15 p.m. Friday at the Magic Lantern Cinema. The movie had its genesis in a coffee table book by the same name that Nelson did with Ketchum resident Felicitas Funke-Riehle a decade ago. Nelson was working in the Hollywood film industry when she had a month off and decided it would be fun to spend that month photographing cowboys. A “National Geographic� photographer put her in touch with a Texas rancher and pretty soon Nelson was cooling her heels in Texas where she waited for a week to see if the cowboys in open-crowned hats, chinks and high-heeled boots would allow a girl on a chuckwagon. Over the next three years Nelson photographed cowboys in Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming, as well. “I might drive up to a ranch to find two coyotes that’d been preying on calves roped and hanging upside down on the fence,� Nelson recalled. “I found one group 50 miles from ranch headquarters and it was another hour from headquarters to the nearest town. All the modern stuff goes away and it’s just the chuckwagon and the men and the horses.� A couple of years after the book was published, Nelson took Plummer back to some of the ranches, near Bruneau,

the Duck Valley Indian Reservation and north of Elko. “The cowboys had told all these terrific stories but we didn’t put their words in the book. The book was more poetic,� Nelson said. “The film gives them the chance to let them talk—there’s no narration.� Plummer was no stranger to ranch life, despite having spent his childhood in the Middle East and South Africa where his father worked for the State Department. But, he said, the ranches Nelson introduced him to were “really rough� compared to his friend’s grandfather’s ranch near Calgary where he worked the summer when he was 18. “Rusted box springs, nothing fancy,� Plummer recalled. “I remember one— Sticker Wiggins—talking about how he’d stay up all night for 30 days checking for newborn calves every two hours because they would’ve lasted only an hour in the freezing cold.� Following her book, Nelson became involved with the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nev., which sent her on a two-week cowboy exchange to Mongolia. There she sat around campfires listening as American cowboys sang their songs of home on the range and Mongolians sang their songs about horses, five different places in their throat vibrating at once as they sang in a way that was reminiscent of Tibetan singing. “They have a hundred ways to describe their horses—from the colors to the fur,� she said. But that’s another story. tws

he Sun Valley Film Festival—being billed by some as Idaho’s answer to the Sundance Film Festival—will feature four days of films, coffee talks with filmmakers and parties and awards. The festival, which begins Thursday, will feature 36 fullfeature films and 24 short films made by independent filmmakers. The films include dramatic offerings, such as “Magic Valley,” which features “The Right Stuff” actor Scott Glenn, who has lived in Ketchum for 32 years. It features documentaries, including former Wood River Valley photographer Karen Day’s “Between the Earth and Sky,” which tells of a Harvard professor who sends American medical students to educate Sudan’s first doctors. It features ski and kayak movies. And it features children’s films, including “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore,” which won an Oscar a couple of weeks ago. Fifteen of the films were made by Idaho filmmakers, including DeSireé Fawn, who filmed the documentary “The Phantom Wolves of Sun Valley.” Some of the films, such as “Lost River” and “Soda Springs,” feature Idaho scenery—something that’s too often missing from the films that come out of Hollywood. Sun Valley filmmaker Bob Poole will present his National Geographic documentary “War Elephants” at 2:30 p.m. Sunday—just days after he premieres it in Washington, D.C. And part-time Ketchum resident Steve Crisman will stage the world premiere of his longawaited “Jerusalem: Living in the Shadow of God” at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. “Our focus is on the craft of making films—what it takes to make them,” said Bex Wilkinson, who did a small indie film festival with the Sun Valley Center for the Arts several years ago and is now chairing this festival. “We’ll be celebrating cinematographers and writers.” Ted Grennan, a Los Angeles scriptwriter, said he was inspired to start the festival one night when he was blinded by the surrounding beauty upon coming out of the Magic Lantern Cinemas. “Sun Valley seems the perfect fit for a film festival because of its idyllic setting,” said Grennan. Grennan said he hopes that the festival can add sponsors next year, along with some paid staff. He also would like to see it be part of a conversation to make Idaho more inviting to filmmakers. The inaugural Sun Valley Film Festival kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Thursday

in the Sun Valley Opera House with “Between the Earth and Sky.” The ski film “Winter’s Wind” will kick off the festival in the Magic Lantern at 6 p.m. that evening. Here are some highlights:

Wild Gift Celebrates Wild Nature and the Power of Film

Ketchum-based Wild Gift will sponsor a free showing of two documentaries beginning at 2:15 p.m. Saturday at the Sun Valley Opera House. “Great Migrations: Behind the Scenes” depicts the 50mile-per-hour sandstorms and other elements that Sun Valley filmmaker Bob Poole had to film through in order to capture National Geographic’s “Great Migrations” series. Wild Gift will also present the award-winning film, “The Mono Lake Story,” that afternoon. The 27-minute movie examines how the lake lost half its volume when its tributary streams were diverted to supply Los Angeles with drinking water and how citizens fought to resurrect the lake. The movie received the Best Documentary award at the 2012 Sedona Film Festival. Poole and Ryan Christensen, who represents “The Mono Lake Story,” will field questions following the screenings. Though admission is free, attendees may make a donation to support Wild Gift. Deborah Knapp, executive director of Wild Gift, said that Wild Gift is the festival’s nonprofit partner, allowing the

festival to operate under Wild Gift’s non-profit status: “We were talking about doing our own film festival again this year but took the opportunity to be involved with the Sun Valley Film Festival, instead.” Wild Gift helps young social entrepreneurs launch ‘better world’ projects around the world with financial support, mentoring and “the wild gift” of a three-week experience in Idaho’s wilderness.

Gem State Award to go to an Idaho filmmaker

Zions Bank, one of the festival’s sponsors, will present the $1,000 Gem State Award to an Idaho filmmaker whose work best reflects the beauty and diversity of the Gem State. A One in a Million Award will be given to a filmmaker who produced a noteworthy film for under $1 million. And Scott Glenn, longtime Ketchum resident and a star in such films as “The Right Stuff,” will hand out the Sun Valley Film Festival Audience Award at the free closing ceremony at 5:30 p.m. at the Ketchum Town Square.

“Nobody Cares”

Bellevue native Josie Pusl, who manages The Flicks theatre in Boise, will screen her film “Nobody Cares” at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Sun Valley Opera House. The film centers on a sad sack who learns that he has 8.5 days to live and 8.5

days to find happiness and true love—basically, 8.5 days to make up for 43 years of living a life that totally sucks. The director and writer is Travis Swartz; the cast features a number of Idaho Shakespeare Festival regulars, including Stitch Marker and Carole Whiteleather. Pusl’s mother, Bellevue resident Trudy McGonigal, said this is the fifth movie Pusl has produced. “I’ve always had to go to Boise to see her films since she can put them up on the screen at The Flicks. It’ll be nice to see this film right here—and I get to have my daughter for the whole weekend besides!” she said.

“Magic Valley”

Two years ago, Buhl native Jaffe Zinn returned to his hometown where he invited old neighbors to take part in a film he was shooting titled “Magic Valley.” The movie will make its Idaho premiere at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Sun Valley Opera House, followed by a second showing at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Opera House.

Girl Scouts Celebrate 100th Birthday STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

M

ore than 100 Girl Scouts—some of whom were Girl Scouts 60 and 70 years ago—turned out at the Hailey Armory Monday night to celebrate the 100th birthday of Girl Scouting in America. The Scouts joined with Girl Scouts worldwide in observing the anniversary. The Scouts used the backdrop of the Armory, said Hadley Cabitto, since patriotism has always been a priority: “During World War I, we sold war bonds, worked in hospitals and collected peach pits for use in gas mask filters.� This was the first time the birthday party has been cohosted by Service Unit No. 21 from Sun Valley and Ketchum and Service Unit No. 70 from Hailey and Bellevue. Girl Scouts were introduced into the Wood River Valley 31 years ago and there are about 150 Scouts, Brownies and Daisies valley-wide, said Willa McLaughlin, who has been Service Unit No. 21’s director since 1985. One of the highlights of the evening was the fashion show, which featured uniforms dating back to the 1940s. As time progressed, hemlines went up, slacks were introduced and, around 1990, blue Daisy tunics were added to the traditional brown and green to outfit younger girls in kindergarten and first grades. Daisy was the nickname for Girl Scout founder Juliette Low, noted Carol Harlig, who brought a black and white photo of herself as a Brownie in Southern California.

Brownies get into the act.

The girls sang a host of songs—some relatively new, like “The Moose Song� about a great big moose who liked to drink a lot of juice, and “The Worm Song� about a tiny little worm who got stuck inside a soda straw. Some were timeless, like “Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver. The other is gold.� Dani Stern told the girls that she had started volunteering with the Scouts to spend time with her daughter “and I’ve fallen in love with 150 other girls!� In April, the Girl Scouts will launch a national service project called Forever Green, said Senior Scout Sara Carty. “During the first month of our second hundred years, people around the world will join us in taking a pledge to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. Residents of our Valley will be logging the number of times they refill their reusable water bottles tws during April.�

The Daisies sport an eye-popping blue.

Uniforms from the ‘40s and ‘50s.

We thank you for another year of success.

Concert Uses Music to Help Dispel Illness BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

usan Spelius Dunning had warned me before Saturday night’s concert that the matchup between Misha and Cipa Dichter would be akin to watching Olympic beach volleyball. “You have these two great pianists who not only play with each other but are married to each other and love each other. They’ll make you laugh; they’ll make you cry,� she said. “And to have two nine-foot Steinway grand pianos in a small hall is itself amazing, powerful and exciting.� To my way of thinking, the final concert in this winter’s Sun Valley Artist Series more nearly resembled a rugby match in its sound and fury—with a couple of rounds of boxing thrown in for good measure. With the Steinways lined up so they resembled one piano with a keyboard on each end, the world renowned pianists launched into a piece by Franz Liszt, Misha shaking his head with every note. Misha, who launched his international career by winning a silver medal at the 1966 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, pulled away from the piano for a split second and he and his wife picked up steam together. Cipa, attired in a peach-colored shantung pantsuit, pounded the keys. Misha, wearing a black bow tie, thundered back—right through a Dick Hyman jazz number to their “Hoedown� encore. Together the two, who met at

Julliard School of Music in the 1960s, have been gifting the world with music for a half-century. On Saturday they bestowed the Wood River Valley with a special gift of music, as all the money from the concert went to three organizations charged with preventing suicide in the community. Artist Series founders Steve Gannon and Dunning passed out copies of a new “Get Help!� community resource guide illustrated with handsome Idaho pictures that Dunning’s son Michael Dunning took. Additional copies will be placed in doctors’ offices, school counselors’ offices, libraries and other venues. They did all this in memory of Gannon’s son Dex, a bright young student at Rice University who took his life on New Year’s Eve, 2010. “We were hoping to find some positive thing to come out of Dex’s life,� said Gannon. “We’re doing this in hopes we can spare someone else the grief I went through. I wish I’d known these resources were there for us when we were trying to help Dex. Part of the trouble with mental illness is the shame and stigma associated with it. You’re ashamed, so you don’t get treated. Yet, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students and a staggering number of high school kids say they have entertained thoughts of suicide.� Wendy Norbom, who heads up the Wood River Valley Chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), told those in the audience that there were eight suicide attempts in the Valley

just this past week. And calls to the local Crisis Hotline have tripled this past year, especially among teens. At the same time, those over 65 boast the second highest rate of suicide, in part due to loss of a spouse or the diagnosis of a debilitating or fatal disease, said Dr. Susan Mirow, a Salt Lake City psychiatrist. There are several new tools that appear to help people who might be suicidal, she added. Among them, the use of computers that allows psychiatrists to speak to the mentally ill in the privacy of their own home by computer, and personalized medicine dealing with enzymes in the brain. Networking with successful peers—people who say they know how to beat their illness— has worked well with people with schizophrenia, Mirow added. A 1990 graduate of Wood River High School told how he had suffered a nervous breakdown that necessitated him being hospitalized six months after he had started a career as a stockbroker and thought he “had the world by the tail.� He began running a restaurant after he recovered but went into a tailspin after the restaurant burned down. While recovering from his suicide attempt, he came to the realization that his emotional imbalance wasn’t a personal weakness or flaw but, rather, a condition. He found a peer who understood what he was going through and he found a diagnosis: bipolar disease. “And I continue to get better each passing year,� he

briefs Early St. Patrick’s Celebration this Friday The entire community is invited to the annual St. Patrick’s Celebration, Friday, March 16th from 6 to 9 p.m., when St. Charles Catholic Church in Hailey will once again host one of the Valley’s most beloved traditions.

The

highlight of the evening is always live Celtic music featuring the “world famous� Boulder Brothers. In addition to dancing, there are many fun activities for all ages including crafts and games for kids, a raffle and bingo with fabulous prizes for the whole family. This family event helps to support two educational scholarships awarded annually by the St. Charles Men’s Group. As always, the evening promises to be “a guaranteed good time for all!� Please join us! Tickets are only $8 for adults or $20 for the entire family and you can pay at the door.

Saving Face Draws Sell-Out Crowd STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he sell-out crowd that turned out for the opening film of the Family of Women Film Festival last week got a bonus—a chance to hold filmmaker Daniel Junge’s Oscar, which he had been awarded just five days earlier. “It’s heavy,â€? said Community School Camille Bourret as she hoisted the 13-inch tall, 8 and ½ pound statuette for a photo op with Junge following the showing of the film. Junge, who made the film with Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, told the audience that he was still on an Academy Award high after winning for his short documentary “Saving Face.â€? And it was obvious that the award had drawn the attention of filmgoers-- Peggy Goldwyn, the founder of the Family of Women Film Festival, had to turn people away at the door as every seat in the 340-seat Sun Valley Opera house was filled. The film itself tracks the work of Dr. Mohammad Jawad as he volunteers his plastic surgery skills to help Pakistani women who have had acid thrown onto their faces for refusing sexual advances or marriage proposals. Junge said he had been turned onto Dr. Jawad’s work after hearing a radio story about the London plastic surgeon’s work in reconstructing the face of London model Katie Piper. Piper’s ex-boyfriend had thrown sulphuric acid on her face, blinding her in one eye. Junge contacted Jawad, and Jawad told him about his work with Pakistani women who are disfigured by their husbands. A few weeks later Junge was

on the way to Pakistan. The audience gasped as the film told the story of a woman whose husband had thrown acid on her while she slept. “He didn’t want me,� she said. “I was an innocent child. Why did he ruin my face?� Jawad, who offers free treatment to Pakistani women about four times a year, told the audience that there are at least a hundred acid attacks a year in his native Pakistan and many more are believed to go unreported. “When I read about what was happening in my own home,-bingo!—I had to do something,� he added. The film follows Jawad as he works with a woman whose alcoholic husband had disfigured her when she wanted to a divorce. “I will make a spectacle out of you,� the woman’s husband told her. The husband threw the acid on her. Her sister-in-law threw gasoline on her. And her motherin-law set her on fire. Still, the woman remained in her in-laws’ home hoping that by appeasing them she will one day be reunited with her daughter whom they are keeping from her. Jawad replaced some of the scar tissue on the women’s face with a recently developed artificial skin. But he was unable to insert even a glass eye into the place where her right eye had been. So he built a prosthesis attached to spectacles that she uses when she leaves her home. More importantly, his attention helped the woman smile again. The husband was sentenced to two life sentences under a new law in Pakistan created to address the growing problem of

Community School student Camille Bourret was among those who lined up to get an opportunity to hold filmmaker Daniel Jungel’s Oscar statuette, which he had won less than a week earlier.

acid attacks. But Junge told the audience he is trying to raise funds to meet any appeal the husband makes. Junge told the audience that he wants to show the film in Pakistan, along with providing educational outreaches, but he needs to be assured of the safety off those who are depicted in the film first. “Right now there’s such a furor over the film we have to wait,� he said. “The women wanted their stories heard. I was the lucky one who got to tell their stories.� Dr. Dr. Babtunde Osomitehin, executive director of UNFPA (United Nations Population

Fund) and undersecretary general of the United Nations, called the film an “outstanding example of giving voice to those who are voiceless.� “It is our duty to support these women,� he told the audience. Osomitehin told the audience that his organization, which was the impetus for the film festival, is embroiled in the push for human rights and ending all forms of violence. The organization has played a role in virtually every world forum on HIV and AIDS. “UNFPA tries to build a world of opportunity where every child is wanted, every childbirth is safe,� he said. tws

A Wee Bit o’ The Irish BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7

W

hen it comes to traditional Irish music, there are none better than The Chieftains, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. To celebrate this milestone, The Chieftains have released Voice of Ages, working with artists not primarily known for working in the Celtic music genre. This isn’t the first time that The Chieftains have worked with artists outside of their circle; they’ve previously worked with The Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Sting, and Elvis Costello, among many others. This time they’ve collaborated with a newer generation of artists like The Decemberists, Bon

Iver and Paolo Nutini, as well as many other younger bands from many musical realms. They team up with bluegrass wizards Punch Brothers for a pair of songs, which seems only natural since American bluegrass is a nottoo-distant cousin to traditional Celtic music. Their collaboration with The Carolina Chocolate Drops in the rousing “Pretty Little Girl� shows the seamless connection between Irish music and Piedmont jug band music of the Carolinas. They add Irish flair to the country-folk duo The Civil Wars’ “Lily Love� and acoustic ambience to Bon Iver on Charlie Monroe’s “Down In The Willow Garden.� Strangely, they throw an astronaut into the mix on “The Chieftains In Orbit� with NASA astronaut Cady Coleman,

horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Introspection will help you figure out the potential reasons for why you didn’t get what you wanted. However, don’t blame yourself entirely. Chances are, there were several reasons. And the most powerful one is that perhaps it just wasn’t meant to be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Relationships don’t just happen spontaneously. They have to be developed and managed. You’ll feel a tiny bit responsible for another person’s happiness and a little in control of that, too. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you think of the dear friends you have known in your life, you wonder how you ever could have drifted so far apart. This is natural, but it doesn’t make it any easier to accept. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a formula for making money that is so ingrained that you hardly realize what it is. The recipe is a blend of intelligence, specialized skill and the wisdom to apply yourself effectively. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Asking questions is tricky. There’s a fixed number of things you can ask before the other

person gets tired of answering, so you want to be smart about it. The wrong questions bring more confusion to the issue at hand than you started off with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to be a well-rounded person now. Focus on what you do best, and do it to the hilt. There are other people in your life who will fill in the blanks that you’re missing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). However difficult body tattoos are to remove, it is even more challenging to get rid of ideas and designs that have been imprinted strongly on your mind. This week is a perfect time to start the “mind tattoo� elimination process. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You pay attention to the universe’s signals, even when you don’t like them at first. Trust that the old adage is true: When one door closes, another one opens. But sometimes the next door doesn’t open immediately, and the moments in between feel like an eternity if you lose hope. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The project you’ve taken on is so big

an accomplished pennywhistle player. The Chieftains’ Voice of Ages is the perfect disc for your St. Patrick’s Day party or just sitting on your porch watching the snow melt off the mountains and the return of green to our Valley. tws that it will feel like all of your work amounts to but a teensy-tiny increment of progress. In other words, you keep hitting it hard, but you barely put a dent in it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Part of being entirely your own person is having political, social and cultural views that reflect what you really think instead of what the people around you want you to think. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your altruism will shine this week. No man exists in a vacuum, and you’re only completely satisfied with an outcome if you believe that others have benefited, as well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You look forward to spending time with loved ones even though there will be some stress involved. The key is to get your attitude and mindset in a positive, easy place before you enter the scene. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: This year has a rejuvenating effect. Instead of getting older, you get newer.

onsidering the state of affairs today between Iran and the West, it was with particular interest that the Academy Award for best foreign picture went to Iran because it gives an insight into Iranian culture and life that is both surprising and sobering. With a world based on Islamic law, a morality tale takes some unexpected twists. But such is the case with the fine new film A Separation, both written and directed superbly by Asghar Farhardi. The plot concerns a happily married couple with an 11-yearold daughter that is struggling with the desire to emigrate. She wants to leave and he wants to stay to care for his father suffering from Alzheimer’s. The

daughter chooses her father and the wife leaves the house, but stays in the country, not able to leave her child. The husband hires a caregiver, but returns home one day to find his father tied to a bed, near death, and the woman gone. When she returns to be paid he shoves her out the door ostensibly causing a miscarriage. What transpires legally and morally are the heart of the picture and a memorable weave of character insights and judgments, with no one really winning. At the heart of the film are superb performances by the two leads—Peyman Maadi and the strikingly beautiful Leila Hatami—as well as the director’s daughter, Sarina Farhadi as the torn 11-year-old. Perhaps the greatest accolade given to actors is that it is hard to believe that they are actually acting; the realism of their performances is so stark. They are trying to do the right things but what makes A Separation so special is the answer to the question, What is the right thing? tws

he unfortunate truth is that animals cannot speak for themselves. They must rely on us and, in the stewardship of their rights, we sometimes fall way short of the mark. For Community School sophomore Kelsey Syms, this is the sad truth and she has put her money where her mouth is. “I love animals,” she said. “They mean the world to me.” This year Syms petitioned the faculty at school to pursue an independent project that would entail helping to pass an Idaho Animal Cruelty petition. “Right now Idaho is second to last in the states in terms of abuse cases and we desperately need this law. Only the Dakotas and Idaho have failed to pass a similar bill.” The heart of the legislation is to make a case of abuse a felony punishable by jail time as opposed to the misdemeanor that it is today and punishable only by a fine. “Abuse takes all forms,” Syms said, and can be seen in neglect, starvation and drowning. In order to make the petition law, proponents need to collect 60,000 signatures. “We’ve got about 30,000 signatures, so we still have a ways to go before our deadline in mid-April. It’s difficult because they really make you jump thru hoops and a lot of the signatures are disqualified. But we’re pretty confident that it will happen.” Syms was given the opportunity to get involved by The Community School by foregoing an elective period to work on the independent study project. “I filled out a questionnaire for the faculty and then attached a faculty supervisor. The idea had to be accepted by 100 percent of the upper school faculty and I was thrilled that it was. There are 36 students in my class and I was the only one doing independent study. The heart of the project was to see what goes into passing a bill like this and I will be making my presentation to the faculty on March 13. I also involved myself by collecting signatures at places like the Paw ‘n’ Pole event on March 4. In February I was lucky enough to meet State Senator Tim Corder, who was the creator of the bill.

Kelsey Syms

I also got to meet with Michelle Stennett and was able to see just how complicated the process was. It was a real eye-opener. I now understand all the work that goes into passing a bill. All in all, it’s been difficult, but it’s also been a great experience. I’ve always loved animals and it’s time we had a change.” Syms has also put in community service with a program that she and her mother started called Snuggles for Seniors. It is a program that she has dedicated to the memory of her greatgrandmother. “We started it six years ago after I sent a stuffed animal to my great-grandmother in a California home and then got a letter from her assistants that told us what a hit the animal was to all the other residents that wanted one also. So now we collect donated stuffed animals that probably would have gone to The Gold Mine all year long and at Christmastime bring them to Blaine Manor. We get them by putting out collection boxes or friends will tell me about them. I can’t begin to tell you how appreciated it is and what a difference it makes in the residents’ lives. Doing volunteer work makes me feel so good because I love this community and want to give back in any way that I can.” There is no doubt that Syms is doing it in spades. tws

Buell Recognized as Nat’l Merit Finalist Congratulations to Wood River High School senior Ryan Buell, a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. Students are qualified based on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Out of 1.5 million entrants, 16,000 students, were named Semifinalists last fall. Semifinalists are the highest scorers in each state, accounting for less than 1 percent of seniors statewide. Buell is also being considered for the prestigious United States Presidential Scholarship from the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars and the U.S. Department of Education. Buell is one of only 3,000 students in the country being considered for this

award. Up to 141 U.S. Presidential Scholars will be chosen from among this year’s senior class, representing excellence in education and the promise of greatness in America’s youth, according to the letter sent to WRHS Principal Pete Jurovich. Buell has been a Blaine County School District student since the third grade. He is the captain of the Debate Team and two-time Public Forum District champion. He is also active in the WRHS Model U.N. Team. He received awards for English Excellence, Biology Excellence and Advanced Placement U.S. History in 10th and 11th grades. He has also participated in Outward Bound and JV baseball.

Library Features Dyslexia Program Harvard-trained researcher, psychologist, educator and author Louisa Moats, Ed.D., will talk about dyslexia with practical advice for parents, stu-

dents, and teachers tonight at The Community Library in Ketchum. The free presentation starts at 6 p.m.

Conservancy, Purdy Partnership

The Nature Conservancy and the Purdy family have signed an agreement to restore Kilpatrick Pond on Silver Creek, an impounded area that has trapped sediments for decades. The agreement focuses on restoring the stream to a more natural path, creating wetlands and lowering water temperatures. The Kilpatrick Pond project will be the largest restoration effort ever undertaken on Silver Creek. The project is also the most significant action that can be undertaken to reduce water temperatures at Silver Creek, recognized by ecologists as the main longterm threat to this world-class trout stream. The Silver Creek enhancement plan identified rising water temperatures as a key threat to the stream’s future. The plan identified Kilpatrick Pond as one of the main contributors to rising water temperature at Silver Creek. The planned project will stabilize the sediments that have built up over time, so that they will not be redistributed downstream. These sediments will be used to create wetlands or islands. The stream channel will be restored to a more natural flow and path. The current irrigation diversion dam will be altered to allow for more natural water movement. It will also allow for fish passage so trout can move freely up and downstream. “This restoration effort will lower water temperatures and create great wildlife habitat, ensuring that Silver Creek remains one of the West’s finest spring creeks for generations to come,” says Dayna Gross, Silver Creek Preserve manager.

The thrill of releasing a wild steelhead back into the Clearwater River will make any spring day perfect!

You Know it’s Spring in the Wood River Valley When‌ STORY & PHOTO BY PAUL H. HOPFENBECK

O

kay, that’s not really fair. We all understand that the only way to know for sure that Ol’ Man Winter has momentarily locked himself in the woodshed is by the rodeos, parades and fireworks in early July that celebrate his brief sabbatical! Each of us uniquely perceive subtle signs that tell us the snowman that has inhabited the shady spot in the yard for most of the winter is about to get his ascot handed to him! Gone are the days when I prayed that I would get one more April morning of boarding, or one last journey onto the ice at Magic with my sons. Nope, after 30 years in this Valley, I find myself preparing for spring earlier and earlier. Even before my shotguns are cleaned and stored and my decoys and calls are stowed for the season, I find myself assembling flyrods and sorting through my steelhead gear. I guess it is my way of disavowing January’s brutal grip and thumbing my nose at two more months of winter. Whether you embrace it, love it, tolerate it, or downright hate it, winter is this Valley’s lifeblood. No winter, no snow. No snow, no resort. No resort, no economy, and on and on. That being said, enough is enough. “Uncle!� It is time for that snow to melt and fill our rivers and reservoirs, turn our leaves and grasses green, and get our salmon and steelhead fry back to the ocean.

The Wood River Valley provides its own annual indicators that this winter wonderland is about to take a back seat to the power and magic of our seasonal warming. With the Boulder Mountain Tour a recent and pleasant memory, less serious activities prevail; extreme skijoring, the Paw ‘n’ Pole, and the Snow Box Derby give us opportunity to forget the struggles that some of started as long ago as last fall—the dozens of hours spent finding, cutting, hauling, splitting and stacking firewood and the hundreds of hours spent pushing, shoveling and moving snow. Surely shorts and flipflops are right around the corner! Mother Nature also shows a flash of leg right about now. At dawn and dusk, the Canada geese fly up and down Broadford slough, honking to one another as nesting sites are chosen and protected. The mallards on the Big Wood are no longer a random mix of greenheads and suzies, but instead, contented pairings of drakes and hens. Spring can also announce itself in the musky aroma of skunk, especially around the bird feeder, and sometimes at 2:00 in the morning on the dogs! But nothing is as definitive an indicator of the vernal equinox to me as the arrival of the turkey vultures to the cottonwood roosts behind my house. Honestly, it is incredible that within a day or two of March 20th, on any given year, no matter the weather, these friends arrive and I know that spring is definitely here. For sure, morel season is right around the corner! tws

Buckle Down Those Snowshoes

Rent some snowshoes for about $15 from local outdoor shops and head out Greenhorn Gulch. You’ll be surprised how different the area looks in snow. Or, do a full moon snowshoe hike April 6 around the White Clouds trail in Sun Valley.

Dust off Those Binoculars

Tune into the gathering of waterfowl and other wildlife as they shake off winter at Silver Creek Preserve. Walk through the preserve, watching for swans on the creek and eagles in the air, as well as deer, moose and other wildlife that call this their home. Some 150 species of birds drop in for overnight lodging each spring as they begin migrating north. Silver Creek Preserve is about seven miles south of Bellevue on Highway 20. Turn left at the flashing light at the intersection of Highway 75 and Highway 20 and drive 7.1 miles to Kilpatrick Bridge Road where a sign says “Silver Creek Preserve.”

Veg Out in Bubbles

Bridge that transition between winter’s chill and spring’s warmth with a soak in geothermal bubbles. The closest roadside soak is the hot springs known as Frenchman’s Bend or Warfield. Public nudity is a no-no and there is a curfew of 10 p.m. To get there, drive 11 miles out Warm Springs Road from Highway 75 in Ketchum.

Get Buggy

Can’t say the ants are ready for a picnic just yet. But creepy crawly things are the harbinger of spring and summer. You can get up close and personal with bugs like tarantulas and scorpions at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s annual Bug Zoo. This year’s Bug Zoo Festival will be held 1 p.m. Sunday, April 22.

Pedal Power

Time to dust off the bike and see if you remember how to crank. The bike path along Sun Valley is nearly always free or snow and ice. And the Blaine County Recreation District began plowing the bike path that runs between Bellevue and Ketchum late last week. The path’s a little too icy just

It’s Time to Spring Into Action STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

I

t’s not spring yet; it will officially arrive a week from today. We want to hurry it along, but it takes its time. Our expectations run ahead of nature, which often dishes out more in-between-seasons unpleasantness. The last couple of years we complained, ‘What’s happened to spring?’ Not because it was short and sweet, but because it was a no-show. Suddenly, it was summer after all the June frosts had passed—a late start for peppers and tomatoes. This is how we form a sense of place, through a language of intimacy with the landscape and its weather. Praise or complaint doesn’t matter; it’s the relationship that matters. We have that just by living here, whether we recreate or work the earth, or just rubberneck. We have a view and we have a relationship with that view. Sometimes our lives have (absorb) meaning, whether we know it or not. Nature, the landscape, provides. With our thin snow cover, the wildflowers and the cultivated bulbs will be up early and will last longer in the still cool weather and moist soil. It should be a nice, long season for spinach and lettuce. The Habitat is primarily a xeriscaped wildflower/shrub garden, with some cultivars thrown in. There are lots of bulbs, wild and domestic (tulips, daffodils, etc.). Farmers, ranchers and gardeners resemble beavers. There’s lots of work to do in spring. The things we do now determine the success of the next six months.

Summer’s a little easier… mostly routine maintenance. The beavers play in August and return to work in September, getting the lodges ready for the ice of winter. The early bare ground gives me more time to get the work done. First, I have to finish cleaning up last year’s old growth, seed heads and leftover annuals. There’s a lot of bare ground that has to be prepared for new growth, a plan created for dead spots, composted manure and soil conditioner worked in to almost every square foot. (Some Idaho plants, like scarlet gilia, penstemon and buckwheat, don’t like or need this coddling.) Seed mixes (some commercial and some of my own harvested last fall) have to be scattered as soon as possible. A lot of wildflower seeds need to be chilled (stratification) for several weeks before they’ll sprout. Seeds have internal clocks that determine germination, along with moisture and soil temperature. This year I will mulch many more plants than in the past. Summer winds and aridity take their toll. Even drought-tolerant species, especially tall-prairie plants, benefit from additional moisture retention. Watering isn’t always the answer—it’s not just roses and lilies that are hot-head, cool-feet plants. After all that is done, there comes the food cart, which is a veritable buffet of goodies—compost, manure, bone meal and a variety of organic, slow-release supplements for annuals and perennials, wild and otherwise. And this is just some of the early work. tws Relationships take work.

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

Give Your Washer Some Love H ere are some tips to save bucks on laundry and also make these appliances last longer. Mom taught you to clean the dryer lint filter after each load so air can circulate, but did she also tell you to check the outside vent flap? In winter, roof slides can obstruct it; if the flap is stuck open, you’ve got a large cold air leak. If it’s stuck closed, the dryer works way too hard to exhaust the moist air. Mom probably insisted that you empty your pockets. Objects rolling around can chip the drum (and thus damage clothes) and block the lint filter. Clean the lint filter frequently and, less frequently, the screens in the water hoses. If you have a front-loading washer, the motor will last longer if you keep the washer leveled. Don’t overload any washing machine; your clothes won’t get clean, which ultimately wastes water. Likewise, stick to the recommended amount on the detergent

label. Mom maintained that hot water benefitted laundry, but these days modern detergents are well suited for cold water washing (Mom would appreciate the money you’re saving). Lastly, watch for little cracks in the water fill hoses and replace them; your largest savings is avoiding

the multi-thousand-dollar damage from a water leak! Have a question, or want to write your own ERCbeat? Contact the Environmental Resource Center at 208.726.4333 or reduce@ercsv.org. tws

he hottest ticket in town Sunday wasn’t at the Magic Lantern Cinema or even the Lodge Dining Room. It was at The Community Library where ushers clothed in old-fashioned uniforms and caps escorted people past the movie marquee on the outside of the library and the box office window inside into a wondrous world of imagination that eclipsed even the imaginative tales contained in the pages of the books that line the library shelves. Gone was nearly everything that resembled the library. In its place were scenes from five of the greatest movies of all time. In Theater No. 1 Tara Ooms and other maids from “The Help” practiced their Southern drawls as they waited on a table of Southern belles drinking Cokes and eating peanuts, their white gloves set aside with the silver tea service. In “The Godfather” room, Craig Everhart took his place at The Don’s desk, which was surrounded by pictures of the family and even included a note thanking The Don for his role in getting a part in a movie. Nearby, waitresses from Vintage served up Hitman sandwiches made of pulled pork, slaw, mascarpone and a bloody red tomato jam outside a recreated Louie’s Restaurant alongside a vegetable and fruit stand boasting the headlines of the latest Mafia hits. Library patrons walked through a tin slum tunnel leading to the “Slumdog Millionaire” room where Diana Fassino’s 14-by-7-foot mural of an Indian

slum towered over a clothesline full of dirty rags and empty bottles, cans and plastic on the “street” below. Katherine Schroeder peddled chicken from a street cart while young women in Indian garb headed by Calysta Phillips reenacted the last dance scene in the film under an orange and red gossamer tent carpeted with Indian rugs, sprinkled with orange marigold petals and draped in glittering saris. Judith McQueen dished out palava stew, a traditional West African Stew made with pork loin, in the “Out of Africa” room while Kate Metzger of il Naso served up Moroccan vegetarian b’stillas containing almonds, eggplant, currants and cinnamon that she said typically contain pigeon, or squab. And the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft, lit by towering candles, featured Harry Potter’s cape, spectacles, owl feathers and Quidditch manual amidst a plethora of Exploding Bon Bons, Ravenclaw Cupcakes and Hedwig Owl Poops designed by cake designer Amy Anderson of The Sweet Crumb. “This is wonderful—it’s like we’re on the back lot of Universal Studios,” said John Lloyd, owner of Lloyd Construction. Indeed, the transformation of the library was so realistic that people came to the library asking what time the movie started, said co-chair Peggy Goldwyn. “We had much more we wanted to do. We just ran out of time,” said her co-chair Donna Gerstenfeld. Rick Kessler added to the authenticity of the multiplex by loaning dozens of movie posters

and even more boxes of Mike and Ike and other theater candies for concession stands where the drinks were served. And Michael McCormack spent the night popping popcorn—after all, what are the movies without popcorn!? Donna Beaux sampled some of the fare seated on one of several toilets that had been brought in as a nod to the segregated toilets in “The Help.” Others took respite on actual movie theater seats. “Such a selection of desserts!” exclaimed Judy Kaiser as she eyeballed the chocolate pretzel wands, peppermint toads and Hedwig pops shaped like owls in the audio-visual room, which had been converted into Hogwarts School of Wizardry. Ali Stonebraker savored African fare with Stephen Schultz in the quiet backdrop of “Out of Africa.” “I can’t believe the transformation. I don’t even recognize the library,” she said. “This is my favorite place in the world. I love the books, I love reading to my children here. It’s so quiet and warm. And, in this economy, this is the best place to be.” Carolyn Wicklund giggled as she spotted tiny thumbnail-sized chocolate pies among the deviled eggs and pimiento sandwiches that Rasberrys was serving on the set of “The Help.” “Aren’t these the best for decorations—they even have the movie soundtrack on the various sets. It’s just amazing,” she said. “This is the best one ever—the food, the decorations—all of it!” chimed in Sheri Hodge. The event was a fundraiser for The Community Library, which takes no tax dollars. tws

ships. Not a single category has been settled. On the ladies’ side, Lindsey Vonn is now officially the most successful American skier ever. With her GS win in Are, Sweden, she earned her fourth Overall World Cup title. She’s now ahead of Phil Mahre’s ‘81’83 record. Marc Girardelli of Luxembourg has five and Anne Marie-Proell of Austria has six. Vonn has never been great in the GS, but this year she’s ‘found her rhythm’ and won this event by the relatively large margin of .48 second. She has now won in all five disciplines. This year, all the pressure is off her heading into the World Championships in Schladming, Austria. She has a chance for the overall points amassed in a World Cup by any skier. If she finishes in the top three in the speed events, her fortes—the downhill, the superG and the GS—she’ll break that record. Maria Hoefl-Riesch won Saturday’s slalom. Slovakian Veronika Zuzulova, who led after the first run, just lost

by .01 second. Lindsey Vonn skidded out on her second run. Vonn has 1808 points, with 400 points up for grabs next weekend. She’s shooting for a record 2000 points. Sixteen-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin tied for ninth. She stands 17th in the discipline, and so qualifies for the World Cup finals, a thrill for any 16-year-old. In another freestyle tragedy for Canada, Nick Zoricik, 29, died from his head injuries in a skicross event in Grindenwald, Switzerland. He went wide on the final jump and landed in the safety net, which couldn’t save him. All further events for Saturday and Sunday were cancelled. Sarah Burke, also 29, died from her injuries in January. Ted Ligety posted on Twitter, “Skiing is a great sport that gives, but it also takes.� Errata. In last week’s article on the YOGL, I stated that Dawn Peterson was an Olympic skating coach. She only coached in the Juniors, and not the ‘big show,’ she said. tws

Vonn Most Successful American Skier Ever

I

t took Garrison Keillor a while to get to Lake Wobegon. Gazing out the window of the Church of the Big Wood, he opened last week’s presentation for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts by marveling at how anyone could ever focus on a sermon there given the scenery outside. “There’s that mountain waiting for the Presbyterian minister to come down with two tablets,� he intoned. And once he got done pontificating about the view, he paid homage to Ernest Hemingway, whose home sits just across the river. “He never went to college and we never wanted to go there, either,� he said. “He led a very rich life—a little too rich, perhaps. Nonetheless, he was faithful to his talents.� Hemingway, known for his women as much as his books, served as the perfect segue into Keillor’s tale about one of Lake Wobegon’s quirky characters—a Casanova who met his fate when a semi plowed into his parked car as he was commencing an amorous affair. Keillor paced back and forth across the stage, his heavy eyebrows downcast as he rambled on about fishing with his Uncle Jack in a leaky boat. Red high-top tennis shoes complemented the red tie that accented his suit coat. Red socks complemented his red tennis shoes. Occasionally, the 69-year-old storyteller stopped to sing a song in his baritone voice—a song about a blind man standing on the road that quickly turned into the people in Ketchum crying, “Oh Lord, don’t turn your back on me.� “As Norwegian Lutherans, we were taught not to think we were anyone. We were not out to be champions. We were sort of honorable-mention people,� Keillor said. He recited “Annabel Lee.� He quoted from “Psalms� until he remembered he was in a church. “You have Bibles. You look it up.�

Finally, he got to the prize—a story about an aunt who had requested that her ashes be placed inside a bowling ball and dropped into the lake by parasail. All well and good—if the timing hadn’t dovetailed with a gathering of two dozen renegade Lutheran pastors on a pontoon boat‌ Upon the conclusion, Keillor finally snapped his eyes wide open and looked at the audience he had been addressing for nearly two hours. Keillor’s performance, which capped the end of a well-attended, thought-provoking and entertaining lecture series for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, had left dozens of people wanting a ticket when the remodeling of the larger Community Campus theater wasn’t finished in time. Many of those who were fortunate enough to get a ticket seemed to have a Garrison Keillor story. Connie Hoffman, for instance, told how she and her husband Gary had attended a season opener for Keillor at The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn., just before they embarked on their sailboat trip down the Mississippi River. The season opener came with the annual meatloaf supper and street dance—a ritual for Lake Wobegon fans, she said. Britt Udesen, who puts together The Center’s lecture series, said that as a Minnesotan, she grew up listening to Keillor’s stories in the back seat of her parents’ car. “I thought they were stories about people I knew,â€? she said. “It wasn’t until I was in college that I realized that people in Idaho and New York heard these stories, too.â€? Kristin Poole, co-director of The Center, said she was astonished by Keillor’s ability to weave together characters, details and narrative. “There were moments when I thought he might wander off stage or forget the balloonist’s name. In the end, I think he left us all breathless with his parasailing man. Hemingway would have been impressed!â€? tws

Who’s working on your AUDI?

he old Boy Scout motto “Be Prepared” is what we should all consider when getting behind the wheel. If you know the steps to take, it will simplify the process as well as protect you from further exposure in the event you are involved in an accident. Ideally, once a year you and your auto insurance agent should sit down for a review. This allows you to confirm that coverage is correct as well as review what coverage you have. Knowing your policy benefits, having your insurance I.D. card and carrier information will speed up any accident report and claim. Try to keep a small notebook and pen in your vehicle so it’s handy if you need to write down information following an accident. Having cones or warning triangles with you to place in the roadway can help to avoid any additional vehicle involvement and to keep those involved in the accident safe. 1. Try to stay calm! This may be easier said than done. A calm individual can more readily determine if anyone has been hurt and if an ambulance should be called. The calm individual will be able to ascertain the extent of damage to vehicles and property as well as give a clear version of what happened for the police report. Do not admit to any fault or liability. 2. If possible, move the vehicles so they are in a safe place and out of the flow of traffic. 3. Call the police so an accident report can be filed. Even if there is a simple fender bender in the parking lot, police documentation of the accident can help clear up any questions of what happened and who is at fault. The police officer is the only one you should talk to about what happened. Other than the police report, do not sign any document or paper the other involved party may want you to sign. 4. Be sure to grab your notebook and pen to take down the appropriate information from the other driver. Get a driver’s license number and the name of the driver. Be sure and get

their physical as well as mailing address and a phone number. Write down a description of the car, the license plate and the VIN number (it is usually imprinted on the dashboard next to the window in front of the driver.) The vehicle identification number is the only way an insurance company records a vehicle, so this is an important number to have. Also, ask to see the other driver’s proof of insurance. Check the policy date, and write down the policy number, the agent name and number, and the company. There should also be a phone number for their carrier. Having all of this information will simplify filing your claim. If there are any witnesses, ask for their name and phone numbers as well. 5. Call and advise your insurance agent of the accident. They can help you to file the claim. If it is after hours, there is an 800 number on your insurance I.D. card. You may call that number to report the claim if you wish. Remember, though, the claims department of your carrier will want to speak with you directly to obtain the most accurate information possible about the accident. Lastly, do not rush off before the police and other party leave. You should all leave at the same time to ensure you are involved in all of the conversations relating to the accident. Your insurance company is there to help you and to be your advocate. If the other driver is at fault, filing a claim with your own company will start the process. They will do the followthrough with those at fault and the other carrier. This will save you valuable time, simplify the process, and speed the claim through the system. Following these steps will help alleviate any discrepancies and help you get back behind the wheel with as little interruption tws of life as possible.

from my table to yours Reverse Irish Coffee BY MARGOT VAN HORN

H

aving lived near “The Cityâ€? —a.k.a. San Francisco—for many years, I did and still do always love to venture into the Buena Vista CafĂŠ. This fun-filled cafĂŠ, which always features the most interesting souls, is located at the lower turnstile of the famous Hyde Street cable car. It has gorgeous views of San Francisco Bay, but who looks at that when you are surrounded by all of these unique people? Usually you are lucky to get anywhere near the bar, and for heaven’s sakes you certainly don’t go to have a deep conversation; for one thing, the people noise usually is deafening. So what you do is gawk at everyone and imbibe the famous BV Irish Coffee—made famous by Stanton Delaplane, the travel writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. He supposedly brought that drink to the USA after drinking it at the Shannon Airport in Ireland and the BV started serving it in November, 1952. The original supposedly was conceived by a group of American passengers who disembarked from a Pan Am flying boat on a miserable winter evening in the 1940s. Well, I can relate to that because in 1946 I was on a Pan Am flying boat, Europe-bound, when we had to make an emergency forced landing in Newfoundland. That was an interesting experience, and even as an eight-year-old I could have well used an Irish coffee! The following is an unusual version of this drink; however, it is good and a bit lighter on the

calories than the more original version. It’s also to be served cold for a reverse. Happy St. Pat’s everyone, and enjoy! (Hint: Remember, not too many!) Main Tumbler Ingredient: 2 oz. Irish whiskey Coffee Foam Ingredients: 2 oz. coffee liqueur 1 egg white (at room temp) DIRECTIONS 1. Combine whiskey and ice cubes in a tumbler. Top with 1 to 2 inches of coffee foam. 2. For coffee foam: Gather an egg white from a room temperature egg in a small bowl, add a splash of lemon juice and beat till fairly stiff. Then put in 2 oz. of coffee liqueur. Whip more. Don’t worry, it won’t be as stiff as before, but it’ll still be perfect to add as a topping for your Reverse Irish Coffee. Your choices then are: Put the mixture in a chargeable whipped-cream dispenser, charge it up; shake vigorously and then add 1 or 2 inches more to your drink. Or, if you don’t have the dispenser, just distribute 1 or 2 inches’ worth from your whipped egg white bowl and that’ll be just fine. Remember not to stir and to drink the bottom liquid through the foam. tws

Cure Insomnia BY DR. MARIA MARICICH

M

ore than 30 percent of the population suffers from insomnia, and up to 60 percent of people over age 60 have sleep disorders. Insomnia refers to a prolonged inability to get adequate sleep. Chronic sleep problems can seriously disrupt your life, taking a heavy toll in both your personal and professional relationships. Failure to get a good night’s sleep can affect not only your energy level and mood, but your health as well. There are many causes for insomnia. A few of the more common causes include stress, anxiety, stimulants such as coffee or prescription medications, hormone imbalances, and food sensitivities. In the traditional medical model, doctors are trained to treat the symptom, as opposed to look for the underlying cause. So they give you a sleep medication. The doctor decides which medication to give you based on information they have learned from sales reps who work for the pharmaceutical companies. This is big business! Prescription insomnia medications bring pharmaceutical companies billions of dollars each year. Sure, the medication helps you sleep, but it may be covering up an underlying problem and leading to further health concerns. Depression, weight gain and dementia are a few of the health problems linked with insomnia. Sleep medications were never meant to be taken on a long-term basis. “Sleeping pills are best taken for the short term, and only if they are really needed,� said Marvin M. Lipman, M.D., Consumers Union’s chief medical adviser. Looking for, and correcting the cause of insomnia, is a better health strategy.

Let’s look at some of the major causes, stress being number one. You may or may not feel like you are stressed. Even so, the stress hormone cortisol may be elevated, making it difficult to fall asleep at night. Or, it may be depleted, which usually results in waking in the middle of the night and being unable to fall back to sleep. Cortisol levels can be tested by a simple saliva test. Some people have unbalanced neurotransmitters. This can be genetic or from not getting enough protein in your diet. If you take antacids, you may not be absorbing enough protein to make specific neurotransmitters. We can test these by blood or urine. Inflammation is a big factor in the sleep deprived. It stimulates the production of cytokines, chemical messengers that can over-stimulate the brain, while at the same time robbing you of energy. Food sensitivities, poor gut flora, chronic infections and toxins cause systemic inflammation. Again, there are simple functional medicine tests to determine if inflammation may be affecting your sleep. These are just a few of the possible physiological conditions that can lead to insomnia. If you are having problems with sleep, try to find a functional medicine doctor who will help you assess the underlying cause(s). It will take a little more effort and medical detective work to find the answers, but you will be healthier overall as a result. tws

FILM FESTIVAL WORKS ITS MAGIC, from page 4 cals who watched the film being made to see the edited version, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and has been making the rounds of film festivals in Europe and Asia. Zinn and producer Heather Rae will field questions following each screening of the film they made for a mere $600,000. The film features a fish farmer’s crop destroyed, a dead body, a teen-ager harboring a terrible secret and a sheriff played by “The Right Stuff” actor Scott Glenn, who has lived in Ketchum for 32 years. It depicts how disjointed a small community can become in the midst of a tragedy when they’re unable to connect with one another or see what’s just around the corner. Zinn cut the film in his parents’ Buhl basement, did post-production in Denmark and New York, and scored it in Los Angeles. “When I first started to write stories, I went back to the experiences I had growing up in the area. This is my interpretation of the area,” he said. “I’ve never seen any movies about life in Buhl and I hope it looks pretty authentic. In so many films depicting small towns everyone looks so good you can tell they’re actors.” Laura Mehlhaff, who co-produced the film with award-winning producer Heather Rae, said the fact that Zinn based his film in Buhl is one of the things that appealed to her as she read the script. “I knew with Buhl being so beautiful that if we got a good filmmaker it would be a beautiful film—and it is,” she said. “The sadness and loneliness in the film is an interesting juxtaposition. Jaffe was patient enough to let it develop, which isn’t always the case with new filmmakers. It’s not for mass consumption, but people who love beautiful, artistic films seem to be drawn to it.”

Nat Geo Wild presents War Elephants, Sunday

T

he Sun Valley Film Festival and Nat Geo Wild present War Elephants at 2:30 p.m., this Sunday, March 18, at the Opera House. Filmmaker Bob Poole and philanthropist Greg Carr will conduct a Q&A after the screening and Carr will introduce the film. The phrase “An elephant never forgets” couldn’t be more true for the elephants of Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park. Their paradise turned into hell when, starting in 1977, a 16-year-long war ravaged the country, leaving more than one million people dead and wiping out nearly 95 percent of the park’s wildlife. Elephants, poached for their ivory, were among the hardest hit — their population was reduced from more than 2,000 to just over 100. Today, peace has been restored to Mozambique but the surviving elephants still carry the emotional scars of war. In most places, it’s rare for elephants to charge, but in Gorongosa, elephants must relearn how to trust humans. The return of vehicles to the park — even friendly ones — triggers flashbacks, and sometimes, their instinct is to protect their families by charging. War Elephants, premiering Earth Day, Sunday, April 22, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Nat Geo WILD, documents a brother-and-sister team on a mission to show the elephants of Gorongosa that their park is now safe and humans aren’t the enemy. Through a series of risky experiments and guided by an exceptional understanding of elephants, the team is determined that elephants and people be able to interact peacefully, allowing Gorongosa to continue on the path to becoming one of the best parks in Africa.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, Two months ago I was a happy girl driving around in my sporty red VW Jetta. My boyfriend found it in the classifieds at a great price. Then one day I had a little accident. While backing up, I failed to see a big orange snowplow parked behind me. There he was just sitting on break and I backed right into his plow, crunching the trunk of my car. There was no damage to the plow and he barely knew I even hit him, but now my trunk won't even open. And with no collision coverage, I'm crushed too. I have to pay for the repairs myself. I think I just want to sell the car and get one that can actually carry groceries. Do you think the damage will make a big difference in the resale value?

• • • Cash: With the size and weight of commercial snowplows, we're not surprised the driver didn't notice when you hit his truck. However, the question is how did you miss the big orange plow parked behind you? Carry: The fortunate part is that you weren't hurt in the accident, but now you are left with a crushing

decision: fix the car or sell it with the damage. Cash: The truth is that significant damage such as yours can drastically affect the resale value of the car. You can imagine that others will have a similar reaction to yours and wonder how to get their groceries in or out of the trunk. Carry: The difficult part of trying to sell a damaged vehicle is that the number of buyers is considerably reduced. Many people can overlook small dents or dings, but when there is functional damage like not being able to open the trunk, most people will shy away from the purchase. Those that are interested will expect a significant price break.

Cash: You should consider getting an estimate on having the damage repaired. Ask for two quotations. One that repairs all the damage and one that makes a few adjustments so the trunk can once again be opened. Then you can make an informed decision about whether to fix the car or sell it as is. Carry: Keep in mind that even a car that has been damaged and repaired does not retain its full value. You may still need to adjust your price to compensate for the repaired damage. Cash: And to avoid hitting a snowplow in the future, you have two options: look behind you before backing up or only drive in good weather.

If you like to buy cars with a few dents or dings, you're in luck. There are more than 6 million car accidents every year according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. That's almost 12 accidents every minute. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that at least 25% of police-reported crashes involve some form of driver distraction. Topping the list of distractions was looking at outside objects or people, cell phones, adjusting the radio or being distracted by another occupant.

Perfect Color

Lets face it, accidents happen. And the cost of repairs can add up quickly. That's why many people shop around at local auto wreckers or salvage yards for replacement parts from discarded vehicles. Then they have a local body shop install the parts. Surprisingly though, the largest cost of most repairs is typically labor. So to save a few bucks, look for parts that match the color of your car. If you're lucky enough to find them, you might save on the cost of repainting the old parts. •

The other day when I was coming out of the grocery store, I saw a rather scary sight. As a woman was loading groceries into her car, her cart began rolling down the parking lot. By the time she noticed, it was already well out of her reach. The scary part was that it was heading right for my car. She ran after it as it gained speed, but missed catching it as it slammed into my driver's side door. As I ran up behind her and noticed the dent in my car, I asked, "How bad is the damage?" Apparently she misunderstood my question. "It seems pretty bad," she replied, gathering her groceries. "I broke at least a dozen eggs!" (Thanks to Oliver D.)
