also found plenty of cash in the pockets of clothing Sun Valley’s residents have donated. Some of it wasn’t petty cash, either. “Eighteen hundred dollars, eleven hundred dollars… often the people would tell us, ‘I didn’t miss it,’ ” Mason said. “Fortunately, I have a very honest staff—we pride ourselves on reconnecting lost things with their owners.” The Gold Mine is arguably the biggest tourist attraction in Sun Valley after Bald Mountain and Sun Valley Lodge. Visitors come from all over the United States looking for bargain fur coats and never-worn Bogner ski outfits after reading of the shop in “USA Today,” “The New York Times,” “Vanity Fair,” and other publications. Mason found The Gold Mine a godsend when she and her husband Kirk moved to Sun Valley from Maui. “When we lived in Alaska,

we bought all our clothes out of catalogs. And Hawaii was so easy to dress because you didn’t need much,” said Mason, a New York native who majored in English literature at Florida State University. “When I came here, I needed to spring for an entire new wardrobe and I fell for the handmade Norwegian sweaters. I bought too many and ended up re-donating many of them.” Over the years, The Gold Mine has expanded from a corner in a miner’s cabin to its current location. That building has expanded over what once was a driveway. And Gold Mine employees now spend much of their time working underground in a 3,400-squarefoot basement beneath Tully’s Coffee. That basement currently houses springwear awaiting The Gold Mine’s Spring Sale on April 6. Patio furniture, golf clubs and bicycles sit in the basement of The Community Library waiting to emerge from hibernation. “If you don’t see what you want, just ask. We’ve probably got it stored away,” said Mason. The Gold Mine just started to post some of its items on eBay, said Mason. And, guess what? “We also get calls from people out of state who think this is an actual working gold mine,” Mason said. “They want to give us e Gold Mine their Th t ge to e ob ardr much of her w resumé.” ly contributed

an Mason was used to taking in donations of Giorgio Armani sweaters for The Gold Mine. But a Bedouin tent? The Ketchum thrift store found itself the beneficiary of a favor a donor did for a Saudi Arabian prince. “The shipping alone cost $700,” recalled Mason. “We set it up on the front lawn and we sold it right away.” Presumably, The Gold Mine will keep on getting such unusual donations as it heads into year 57. But Mason won’t have to worry about what to do with them. She’s retiring from her managerial post this week after nearly 23 years with the store. The Community Library, which receives nearly a third of its budget from The Gold Mine, is holding a low-key, no-speech farewell party for Mason at 6 p.m. Friday at the library. Friends are encouraged to wear their favorite Gold Mine outfit to the party. Mason says she never had a dull day working at the store. Once, someone donated a vintage jeep, which a Texan promptly snapped up and had hauled away to his Texas ranch. The store has received a dress Audrey Hepburn was purported to have worn and a rare signed Hunter Thompson book worth $350. One snowy day workers even discovered a rabbit in a cage outside the store as they were closing. It took one minute to find an owner, Mason said.

Jan Mason will retire on Friday, following in the footsteps of her husband Kirk who retired as head of Ketchum’s Parks Department a few months ago. “The best part is I’m not leaving town so I’ll still get to go to The Gold Mine,” she said.

Ski Hall of Fame, history gathering By KAREN BOSSICK

T

wo of Sun Valley’s own will be inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame next

week. Sun Valley Resort owner Earl Holding will be inducted into the Hall of Fame—skiing’s equivalent of baseball’s Cooperstown—at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at Sun Valley’s Limelight Room. Also inducted will be U.S. Paralympian Muffy Davis, who grew up racing at Sun Valley before going on to medal at the 2002 Paralympic Games in Salt Lake City. Inducted along with them will be Olympic downhill racer and skier-cross racer Daron Rahlves; big mountain skier Glen Plake and ski rocker innovator Shane McConkey; and seven-time national champion Bobby Cochran. The inductees were selected by a nationwide committee from about 100 nominees. “Holding’s more than worthy to be in the Hall of Fame—he took Sun Valley and made it fantastic,” said Bernie Weichsel, chairman of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame. “And Muffy Davis has accomplished so much following her injury.” The eyes of American skiing will be trained on Sun Valley beginning Sunday through April 3 as the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame joins with the International Skiing History Association for the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and a week chock-full of events celebrating skiing and snowboarding heritage. “It’ll be the best party in 75 years of skiing,” promised Weichsel. “Sun Valley has a special vibe and we have people coming from all over the country to take part in it.” The two entities tied their celebration into the 75th season anniversary of Sun Valley, which opened in December 1936 as America’s first destination ski resort. “It makes perfect sense because Sun Valley was the site of so many great events in the sport’s history,” said Weichsel. In addition to the Hall of Fame induction, there will be a special tribute to the Founders of Freestyle Skiing. “You have some of the great freestylers right here in this town—Bobbie Burns, Charlie McWilliams…” said Weichsel. “And many others will be coming from throughout the nation.” The week will feature a new film festival—the Ishpeming FilmFest—created by the Hall of Fame, Ski and Snowboard Film Institute. The idea is to cre-

There are many different kinds of ski films so a real variety were nominated and became chosen for many different reasons. Some were innovative or influential leading the way, others captured people, events or times. But together I think they are our sport’s essentials and this week’s festival offers a rare moment to see them as they should be seen, on a big screen. It is interesting that all these were made on film, no video production was selected. Anyone who comes to the awards ceremony Tuesday will see a glimpse of each film, and hear from the filmmakers. From celebrating our sport’s storied past we gain the perspective to view its future,” Ric Moulton, chairman Film Institute Steering Committee, explained.

Fox takes an artist’s journey By JONATHAN KANE

A

n accomplished singer, musician and actor, Wood River High School senior David Fox has a lot going on. He also exudes a certain confidence that befits someone who invariably gets the lead part in every show he performs in. “I’ve been acting since I was eight years old,” he said. “My first play was the Phantom Toll Booth for C.A.S.T. at the nexStage Theatre. I got to play Milo, who was the lead. It was the part I wanted because it had the most lines and I got it. I wound up memorizing the whole script and I would get into trouble because I would blurt out everyone else’s lines at rehearsal.” He added “I’ve always felt incredibly comfortable on stage and performing in front of people. I would do piano recitals as a young boy so, really, it was no problem. After Toll Booth I did Through the Looking Glass and, since I wasn’t Alice, I didn’t have the lead in that one. I really didn’t do much in middle school but really picked it up in high school.” “The show I’ve enjoyed doing the most is The Bald Soprano by Ionesco in which I played the fire chief. I love Ionesco because I love absurdist theater and anything that is stylistic and avant-garde. It was pretty exhausting to rehearse because we were running around and screaming all the time. This year I got a chance to direct and act in a student one-act. We did Dr. Fritz by David Ives, who is one of my favorite playwrights. It’s really hysterical and was

something that I always wanted to do. Everything that Ives does is gold. But I’m not a big fan of directing. I don’t really like telling people what to do. But while on stage I feel that taking direction is very important and part of the process. I just feel that acting is more rewarding than directing. Rather than seeing something come to life on stage, I’d rather perform it.” This year Fox has performed in Surviving Reality and Just Another High School Musical. He has been singing since he was twelve years old and took lessons while at the middle school. As to doing straight plays versus musicals, he says, “They’re both very different. I like both for what they are – it just depends on the script. If it’s good, that’s all that matters. Singing while moving can be challenging but after one or two times, it becomes seamless.” For the last two years he has been part of the Performing Arts Academy at Wood River High School. There, students are immersed in all aspects of the theater. “I love the academy,” he said. “It varies every day as we’re always doing something different. I’m always learning something new and growing as an actor. My favorite class is improvisation because it really frees you up and is pure fun. It also helps because being in high school, things can happen, like an actor missing his entrance. It’s nice to be able to react and flow with the situation.” Fox is also an accomplished musician, having started playing the piano at the age of five. He

Jigsaw invites you to this week’s brownbag lunch: “What’s Your Learning Style?” You’ll learn about four ways in which people solve problems—ways which sometimes produce conflict when working with others who solve problems differently. Participants will take the Learning Styles Inventory (LSI) to identify their approach to problems, the situations that may produce conflict for them, and how to create more productive interactions with others. The lunch is Thursday, March 24, 12 to 1:15 p.m. at Ketchum’s YMCA. For fee or other info, call Jima Rice, 726-1848.

plays the piccolo and bass guitar but his primary instrument is the flute. “Honestly I’m a big fan of Jethro Tull and that’s why I picked it up.” He currently is the first chair flute with the high school band. “I’ve been involved with music my whole life. It really gives me a chance to express myself and it’s also a great deal of fun. Performing music feels so natural to me. Afterwards, I just feel so accomplished and that can be the greatest feeling in the world. When it comes to music vs. acting, I can’t pick one over the other. I enjoy them both so much and they are so different in a lot of respects.” Either way, Fox is certain to thrill audiences for a long time to come. tws

Ian McFeron will celebrate the release of his sixth studio album, “Summer Nights,” with a live performance at the Sun Valley Brewing Company in Hailey at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 31. McFeron will be joined by fiddler, cellist, and harmony vocalist Alisa Milner. The album was produced by Patty Griffin’s long-time guitarist and musical collaborator, Doug Lancio, and features musical performances by Lancio as well as Ryan Adams and the Cardinals’ drummer Brad Pemberton, Ryan Adams’ bassist Billy Mercer, keyboardist and Seattle native Micah Hulscher, and Ian’s long-time musical partner Alisa Milner on fiddle and cello. The album features new musicians and explores new genres such as gospel, soul, early jazz and swing, but at the same time stays true to McFeron’s signature sound, with touches on folk, pop, alt-country and blues.

ario Marzi is a graduate chef who’s received kudos for his carrot cake. And he’s the top scorer on his soccer team. He also is the winner of nine national and four international saxophone competitions, the author of a book about the saxophone, and not above dropping a banana into the bell of a fellow sax musician during a performance. Marzi is also a member of the Italian Saxophone Quartet that will perform “Sax Madness� on Friday in the third of five of this year’s Sun Valley Artist Series’ concerts. The quartet will perform selections from Bach, Mozart and Scarlatti—interesting choices because those composers actually predate the saxophone. The quartet will play Joplin’s “Cascades� and Gershwin’s blues from “An American in Paris.� And they aim to wow with tango music by such Argentine composers as Troilo, Girotto and Piazzolla in a program designed to appeal to both hardcore classical music fans and more novice concertgoers. “It’s so out of my box—I’d never heard a saxophone quartet perform before,� said Susan Spelius Dunning, the series’ artistic director. “But the group sent videos and DVDs and they came up with a magnificent program that’s very colorful and accessible and interesting. It’s full of variety. They’ll play classical the first half of the program and tango and blues the second half where they will let it rip.� Formed in 1982, the quartet features Marzi; Frederico Mondelci, a soloist with all of Italy’s major orchestras, as well as the Moscow Chamber Orchestra; Marco Gerboni, who has twice represented Italy at the World Saxophone Congress; and Massimo Mazzoni, who organized the 10th World Saxophone Congress, which involved 500 saxophonists. Together they play four different saxophones—soprano, alto, tenor and baritone.

And together they have won several chamber music competitions, including top honors in the Premier Ancona. They have given hundreds of concerts in the United States, Japan, Greece, Germany, France, Russia, Sweden and even Lebanon. A reviewer for “Il Corriere Adriatico� spoke of their “ethereal and sensual sounds alternated with blazing virtuosity.� “The audience was conquered and entranced, and they exploded in a standing ovation, demanding encore after encore,� the reviewer added. Brenda Montiel said the quartet played a fantastic concert for the Fallbrook, Calif., Performing Arts. “Not only was their playing impeccable, but their musicianship, their choice of repertoire, their stage presence and their communication with the audience was superb,� she said. “I fear that after such a wonderful performance we all will go out of business as it will be really hard to find another group that will be able to compare,� said Raffaele Montuoro, of the Bryan, Texas, Friends of Chamber Music. Audience members will be invited to meet with the group at a reception following the concert, which is sponsored by Rebekah and Larry Helzel. tws

Dr. Barton Barbour will present a talk (followed by a question and answer session) on the significance of the 19th century Western American fur trade, with some emphasis on fur traders and mountain men in Idaho and surrounding states. The talk will be held at the Ketchum-Sun Valley Heritage & Ski Museum at 6 p.m. this Thursday, March 24, as part of the programming for the Buckskin Bill Exhibition. The Rocky Mountain fur trade played a large role in the history of the early American West. Fur traders explored and mapped much of the West, and the trade deeply influenced the development of U.S. Indian policy. The fur trade also played a leading role in the imperial competition between Great Britain and the U.S. to decide the future of the “Oregon Country.” The talk will be followed by a question and answer session.

un Valley Resort is not the only entity celebrating its 75th anniversary season this year. So is the Sun Valley Ski Club. “We figure we’re one of the oldest ski clubs in the country, if not the oldest,� said Lynne Nicholson, vice president in charge of social affairs. “I enjoy it because it’s a very social organization. And we’re very proud of the fact that we’re 75 years old.� The club started in April 1936—eight months even before the Sun Valley Lodge opened in December of 1936. Averell Harriman, who built Sun Valley, started the club when he started building Sun Valley. He even served as the first Governor of the Board of the new club. “He figured everyone would be coming from out of town, all staying at the lodge, and he wanted to make a big social thing of it,� said Nicholson. The club organizes and staffs many of the races that take place on Baldy, including the Skoch Cup, a USSA-sanctioned race; last year’s 2010 USSA Masters Nationals; and the Bradford Cup, which has been held every year for four decades. Frank Ward was president of the club six years ago when the club put on an international race.

Sun Valley Ski Club celebrates 75

The Community Library Association is pleased to announce the election of long-time Wood River Valley resident Jon Maksik to its governing board. Maksik received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California, a Master of Arts from California State University, Northridge, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative and International Education from the University of California, Los Angeles. From 1976 to 1987 he was on the faculty and then an administrator at the Westlake School for Girls in Los Angeles. In 1987 he moved to Sun Valley to become headmaster of The Community School. During his two decades of distinguished service, Maksik also served as a trustee of the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools. He and his wife, Leslie, were among the original founders of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. Since retirement, the Maksiks have combined life in the Wood River Valley with time spent abroad in Paris.

It featured a small slice of the pageantry of the World Cup and the Olympics with a parade of flags around the ice rink. And, of course, the shoosh of finely tuned skis whipping around the slalom gates. But it also included some head-scratchers organizers hadn’t counted on, recalled Ward. An Italian racer, for instance, made it all the way to Sun Valley from Italy despite a case of dementia by simply handing his airline ticket to flight attendants who kept pointing him to the right planes. But once in Ketchum, he couldn’t remember where he was supposed to stay. Kentwood Lodge graciously put him up for the first evening, Ward said. And then the Ski Club introduced the man to Italian native Cristina Cook—of Cristina’s—since no one else could speak Italian. She took him under her wing, connecting the dots for the man (he had reservations at the Sun Valley Lodge) and the man ended up having a wonderful time, Ward said. Now with 400 members, the club has maintained its social bearings, offering a slate of yearround events that includes snowshoeing to a yurt, bicycle rides and canoe trips on Silver Creek during the summer months. This past week the club observed its 75th reunion week

with a Who’s Dat? cocktail party at the Sun Valley Gun Club, a Bavarian buffet on Monday at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge, a race in sub-zero temperatures on Baldy, the annual Tollerup tour and lunch at the Sun Valley Nordic Center and a dinner dance in the Lodge Dining Room. Sun Valley Ski Club members hail from as far away as Sweden, London and the East Coast, while many others are full or second-home owners from Sun Valley. A few, like Olympic medalist Picabo Street, are honorary members. Club members vary greatly in age. Topping the charts is former Sun Valley Ski Patrol Director Nelson Bennett, who invented the toboggan that the Sun Valley Ski Patrol still uses. He still skis at 96. At the other end of the spectrum is Gretchen Palmer, the mother of three young children who serves as the club’s executive director. “When Gretchen wanted to come here after college and work, I told her, ‘That’s Fantasyland. If you don’t come back after a year, you’ll marry a ski bum,’ � recounted Palmer’s father, Peter Wick, a Seattle resident who has been coming to Sun Valley for 60 winters. “Sure enough, she married Terry Palmer, who skied in the 1972 Olympics. And now they have three children who all have been on the ski team.� tws

grey day evolved into bright sunshine as supporters of Rotarun Ski Area gathered for their annual end-to-the-ski-year barbecue celebration Saturday afternoon. Septuagint Betty Grant joined youngsters riding the Poma lift to the top of the hill, as sledders tried to hit the hay bales at the bottom of the ski hill. Rotarun Board Member Don Sammis detailed the recipe for his guacamole—the secret’s in those Serrano peppers, that red bell pepper and the juice from one small orange. Joan Davies somehow turned a conversation about the first airplane that flew into Hailey into a story of how airline designer and movie mogul Howard Hughes designed a steel underwire push-up bra to spotlight actress Jane Russell’s accessories. And John Davies recounted how Rotarun ski instructors learned how to teach skiing from

Mountain Rides Transportation Authority (Mountain Rides) reached out to bus riders in February 2011 with a short seven-question survey for customer feedback and received an overall gpa of 3.7 out of 4.0 when asked to grade Mountain Rides’ service with a grade from “A” to “F”. Six of eight routes were surveyed. Questions that were asked ranged from how the service is used, how often, reason to use the bus, residential status, age range, source of information regarding Mountain Rides and overall grade (gpa) providing Mountain Rides with benchmarks for their commitment to 100 percent customer satisfaction. Out of the 174 respondents there were only three that gave MRTA an overall score lower than a B grade.

How to Reduce

T

he most important aim for us today should be the concept of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We need to reduce the use of non-biodegradable objects; we need to reuse objects as often as possible, and recycle as well. Whenever you shop, buy products that have the least amount of packaging or no packaging at all. Remember to reduce the use of plastic. While shopping, carry cloth bags; leave them in your car for convenience. Reuse plastic bags you have at home and avoid adding to the heap. Quit buying bottled water and get a water filter at home and refill stainless steel bottles. Reduce the amount of sodas you buy—your health will benefit from it. Reuse scraps of paper (envelopes, mailers, etc.). Do not dump leftover food in the trash bin; start to compost. Don’t use garbage disposals—they add insult to injury. Reduce your energy usage at home and at your office; use programmable thermostats; hang dry your laundry; don’t over-use air conditioners. Purchase recycled products. Recycled paper goods are readily available. Convert old items into interesting objects. For example, old cards can be reused to create something new. Use your creativity. Use rechargeable batteries, as they have a longer life. Once used completely, do not throw them away—give them away to be recycled. Challenge yourself to a trashcan half full; use your blue recycling box more. Teach your children. Get them into the habit now. It’s their Earth! The most important thing about recycling is to spread the word. So, have you done your bit today? Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

Digging in to fresh powder By KAREN BOSSICK

N

ormally, skiers are starting to see some green poking out of the ground on Baldy by the time Spring starts. This year it’s a whiteout. Those who stayed in Gray Valley for Spring Break reaped the rewards Monday when a small storm that seemed to stay put dumped some three feet of snow on the top of Baldy. If you were kicking yourself for missing Disneyland, you got the Disneyland experience, waiting in line for a little over an hour as snow groomers and patrolmen worked to free the mountain from drifts that had piled 10 and 12 feet high in a few cases. “This is the only time we stand in line in Ketchum—for powder days. And we’re not very good at it,” said Ketchum skier Stacy Gilden. “Look at how everyone’s spread out.” When all was said and done, the groomers, which were practically encased in wet snow, were able only to groom one of the shortest lists of groomed runs in Sun Valley history—namely, College, Olympic and Lower River Run. But skiers and boarders got the rewards of surfing through knee-deep powder— without the buckets of rain that have been falling on the Magic Kingdom this week. The banner snow pushed Sun Valley’s total above 200 inches for the year as the resort approached its annual average of 220 inches. A long-anticipated week-long celebration with the International Skiing History Association and the United States Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame begins Sunday, capped by the induction of Earl holding, Muffy Davis, Glen Plake, Daron Rahlves and others into the Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame on April 2. The weekend of April 2-3 has

also been set aside for a Dollar Daze Spring Celebration on Dollar Mountain with ski demos, pond skim, costumes, music and food. Off the slopes… It’s snowing and holding out there on the cross-country ski tracks. Sun Valley Nordic Center is enjoying a banner year well into the time when it would normally be sporting a couple grassy spots here and there. And the North Valley Trails got more than a foot of snow Sunday and Monday--the Blaine County Recreation District groomers didn’t even bother venturing out in the blizzard. The bike path from Ketchum to Hailey still has adequate snow. But grooming has been spotty the past week, in part because of the snow. Quigley Nordic in Hailey has received no new snow accumulation to speak of. It goes without saying that avalanche danger is extreme. Even part of Proctor Loop at Sun Valley Nordic Center has been closed due to avalanche risk. Call the avalanche hotline at 622-8027 before venturing into the backcountry. tws

Vernal Equinox means a fresh new story is about to begin ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people can’t seem to help but do exactly the opposite of what you tell them to do. Maybe it’s stubbornness or a simple misunderstanding -- either way, you’ll need a backup plan. Try reverse psychology. You’ll get what you want by asking for the opposite. It doesn’t make sense, but it will work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes it is possible to promote yourself and build a relationship at the same time. Not this week. You must choose one or the other. If you act out of self-interest, the relationship might suffer. And if you choose to build the relationship, you will need to swallow some of your pride and soften your stance. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may wonder where a relationship is going. You have more control over this than you think. Your unyielding kindness and unconditional love will guide this relationship to a stable place. But you can only truly project those qualities if you are satisfied inside yourself. First, do what you need to do to be happy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Listen only to the voices that will do you the most good. These voices may come from a boss, mentor or partner, or they may come from books or your own head. Weed out any unhelpful noise so that you can easily home in on the best, brightest, most cheerful and loving guidance available. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be observed by someone who will consider how you might fit into an organization or personal network. Your talents and assets -- as well as the smallest details, like the micro-expressions of

your face or the position of your body -- will make a difference in this assessment. It is your chance to shine. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are those who spend more time thinking about how to get out of unpleasant scenarios than it would take to go through them. Not wanting to be so foolish, you’ll face life head on, handle what needs doing and confront all obstacles directly. Because of this, you’ll increase your good fortune this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When painting a wall, using a primer may seem like a step that could be skipped. It is actually essential to a quality outcome. The same is true in matters of communication. Start with commonalities. Lay a positive groundwork as a kind of conversational primer. The outcome depends on starting out with good feelings. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a passionate person. When you give your love, you give it all. In moments, you’ll experience the kind of intensity of feeling that is so characteristic of you. You may even feel like your survival is based on another person. You’ll quickly recover, though, and realize that this could not be further from the truth. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a certain genius when it comes to the art of persuasion. You have a way of casually introducing potentially touchy topics and making it safe for others to communicate honestly. You stay positive so that you will not trigger any resistance or fear in others. You’ll be promoted for these talents this week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You

read signals. You understand others by their actions and behaviors, not by what they declare. You know better than to fall in love with the potential of people instead of the current reality. Share your wisdom. You’ll save another person from heartbreak and improve your own love life in the process. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are self-directed. You determine what you want in your personal life, and you take action to make it happen. It may frustrate you when others react to your choices as though they should be consulted as to your every move. For you, freedom to create your own life is a basic need. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This week you’ll be celebrating the fact that every human on earth is different. You’ll be delighted when you encounter people whose lifestyles, backgrounds and points of view seem worlds away from your own. You’ll be inspired by uniqueness, and you’ll appreciate your own individuality, as well. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Most people are not out to judge you, but there will be a few instances this year in which you are being judged, and you’ll excel. The spirit of competition burns in you, and you’ll be invigorated by the chance to show what you’ve learned. You’ll be offered a job next month. You’ll bring honor to your family in May. You will work hard to achieve an athletic, intellectual or financial goal by the end of the summer. If you are tenacious, you will get there. Invest in September. tws

Pinocchio gets a fresh take at nexStage

answers on page 16 movie review

The great escape By JONATHAN KANE

Jon rated this movie

A

ustralian director Peter Weir is a true master of the medium. Now 66 years old, he has given the world many classics, including Dead Poets’ Society, Gallipoli, Witness and Picnic at Hanging Rock. Thus, it should be no surprise that his new film The Way Back is true to the quality of his work. Part The Great Escape and part a David Lean epic (think Lawrence of Arabia), the film has a compelling story matched with outstanding visuals from cinematographer Russell Boyd. It also boasts a fine cast led by Ed Harris and Colin Farrel. The story is adapted by Weir from ostensibly a true story of how a group of prisoners escaped a Russian gulag in Siberia and then walked 4,000 miles through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, over the Himalayas and on into India. If the story is true, it is truly astonishing.

At the heart of the film is a Polish soldier and survivalist played wonderfully by Jim Sturgess, who has been sentenced to Siberia in 1940 for crimes against the state. His accuser is his wife, who has been brutally tortured. Facing a certain death in prison, he picks a blizzard in which to lead a band of men in an escape to freedom. Farrel, who steals the film, plays a career Russian criminal. Harris, also excellent, plays a crusty American who goes simply by the name of Mr. Smith. Together the group endures all that the human spirit could withstand, including frigid temperatures and ungodly heat and starvation. In many ways that is what the film is truly about – how much can a human being withstand? If you believe the story, the answer is a lot. Along the way we are treated to some spectacular scenery, especially the contrast between the brutal prison camp and the beauty of Siberia. As the warden greets the new arrivals, he tells them, “Nature is your jailer and she is without mercy.” That is a telling forecast for the trials and tribulations that are before them. tws

Nuggets, from page 1 And the canines at the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley will be the beneficiaries. “Sun Valley wanted to put the show in the Limelight Room or the River Run Lodge, but I said, ‘Why not do three nihgts at the Boiler Room?—I like it there, ” said Murphy, who has been performing for free this year and last year. “As for the dogs, I’m a fierce dog lover. We have three dogs and we’ve has as many as four. And every time someone dumps a litter of puppies at the shelter, it just kills me.” It takes Murph about three months to put a show together and he says he’s having more fun this year than ever—in part because the crowds are so good. “And I enjoy my show,” he said. He admits he won’t be able to stop crafting jokes. And chances are you will still be able to see him at an occasional benefit since he never turns down fundraisers. In fact, he’ll be doing a benefit for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation on April 8, thanks to someone who brought his act at a Catholic Church auction and then donated it to the Ski Educatws tion Foundation.

Former Wood River Valley photojournalist seeks change through education; see her film Thursday By KAREN BOSSICK

I

n Afghanistan a woman can be jailed or even put to death for committing the “crime” of leaving a violent husband. A woman can also be imprisoned for refusing to marry her rapist. Or convicted as an adultress for marrying for love instead of consenting to a forced marriage. It’s because of an ancient code of Islamic honor, which says that any two men can accuse a woman of a crime and a group of male elders hand down the verdict without any semblance of a trial, jury or judge as Americans know it. But a former Wood River Valley photojournalist now living in Boise is trying to change that. She has started The Afghan Women’s Justice Project to help fund legal aid for the women. And on Thursday, Karen Day will show the premiere of the documentary “In-Justice” at 7 p.m. at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum to raise awareness and money for that cause. Tax-deductible tickets for the 60-minute movie about the plight of Afghan women and children imprisoned for “moral crimes” cost $10-$25 with the purchase of a “Not Guilty” Tshirt. This is a good deal, Day said, since the T-shirts sell for $25 at marieclaire.com and awjp.org. Day will present a short talk called “Tea with the Taliban: Adventures in Third World Journalism” preceding the film showing. Day will also hold a photo show of her work and a silent auction from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday at Chapter One

Bookstore. The silent auction will feature framed photographs by Steve McCurry, Karen Day and Farzana Wahidy, the first Afghan woman to work for the Associated Press after the fall of the Taliban. “It’s a pretty heavy, intense film,” said Day, who has visited eight Afghan prisons in the past couple years. “The movie will be going on BBC six weeks from now so we’ll be seeing it in Sun Valley first.” The U.S. State Department has confirmed that there are nearly a thousand Afghan women, nearly that many girls between the ages of 12 and 17, and 300 children, behind bars for “moral crimes.” An estimated 90 percent of Afghan women are subjected to domestic abuse. Seventy percent of all marriages are forced, with 60 percent of the brides under 16 and some as young as 6. Women can be traded and enslaved to repay family debt, even forced to commit self-immolation. Day recounts the story of a 16year-old who became the bride of a 36-year-old man at 12. He beat her with a broom daily, telling her no one would condemn him for killing a “worthless girl.” Badia tried to escape with her newborn daughter but was sentenced to prison for 10 years for leaving her husband’s home without permission. “I was in one prison where they had one room for 40 women

with eight kids,” Day said. An article Day wrote for “Marie Claire” inspired one group to produce “Not Guilty” T-shirts with the proceeds going to The Afghan Women’s Justice Project to improve imprisoned women’s lives. Proceeds from one $25 shirt buys a month’s worth of milk for a child who has been imprisoned with his or her mother or school supplies for

10 prisoners. A hundred dollars pays for a defense attorney or the monthly salary of a kindergarten teacher. “We’ve already paid for one woman’s defense with the sale of T-shirts,” said Day. “Now we’re starting to provide vocational training programs, as well, with the manufacturing of Afghan jewelry.” tws

Martin review By KAREN BOSSICK

W

hile Sun Valley’s sunbirds headed south for Spring Break, three Jackson, Miss., songbirds flew north to snowbound Sun Valley. Tessika McClendon, a guest soloist with the Mississippi Opera joined her lilting voice with opera singer James C. Martin in a benefit for the Caritas Chorale Friday and Saturday. It was –Merlene Easton a double whammy weekend for opera lovers, given Alfie Boe’s subsequent performance with the Sun Valley Opera Saturday night. Martin sang with authority and humor, showing why he has entertained at such venues as the Lincoln Center. And McClendon effortlessly filled the tall pointed ceilings of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Together, their talents were magnified, as they played well off one another. “They both had amazing voices, but I could not believe the control she had,” said Merlene Easton. But it was Martin who brought the house—whoops, church—down with his soulful rendition of “Ol’ Man River.” “When he did that I could feel it resonate in my chest. It was so powerful,” said Stephanie Petit. tws

Alfie Boe concert sells out By KAREN BOSSICK

E

arl’s chandeliers are still intact. But they quivered plenty Saturday night as Alfie Boe unleashed his powerful tenor boom on Sun Valley’s Limelight Room. The Jean Valjean of “Les Miserables” held a sell-out crowd of some 400 people in the palm of his hand as he crooned his way through “Some Enchanted Evening.” In fact, he got a standing ovation even before he opened his mouth. “Please, you haven’t heard me sing yet,” he grinned. Boe wooed the audience right off the bat with a couple familiar melt-your-heart Neapolitan love songs. The crowd erupted as if the Boise State Broncos had scored a Statue of Liberty touchdown. He recently sang to a sell-out crowd of 23,000 in London, noted Sun Valley Opera’s Frank Meyer. Meyer added that one of the audience members had impressed a London friend with the fact that she was about to see Boe. “Everybody in England wants to see Alfie Boe,” that friend told her. Sun Valley residents seemed no different. “I’m so excited. When I saw him on the PBS special of “Les Miserables” last week, I was stunned at his voice and personality,” said Janet Ross-Heiner. Boe seemed humble and grateful—unfazed by his current standing as the No. 1 crossover tenor in the world. He kidded around as easily as he sang his passionate songs.

“Hurry up, I want to sing,” he called from off stage as Meyer said his spiel onstage. “We have to keep this program going because—what time do they stop serving food at the Pioneer?” Boe came with an entourage of family and friends, including a 16-year-old friend he sang “Happy Birthday” to and his 3-year-old daughter Grace and his wife Sarah, whom he took a moment to blow a kiss to. Sun Valley is special to the couple, Boe’s Shakespearean actress wife told the audience. Not only have they made this their home away from home when not in England but, Boe proposed to Sarah in Sun Valley. The Brigham Young University-Idaho Sinfonietta, comprised of 36 string and wind musicians, provided the perfect accompaniment for Boe.

“His voice is so rich yet so effortless,” said Company of Fools Music Director and vocal coach R.L. Rowsey, who worked with national theater tours before moving to Hailey. “He’s the best of the best. And it looks like he’s having fun, on top of it.” Mary Jo Helmeke bestowed Sun Valley Opera’s Artist of the Year upon Boe as the two-hour concert drew to an end. “I have to say I feel like I’m home tonight, so thank you for that,” said Boe. tws

What’s next?

Sun Valley Opera will stage “A Midsummer Night’s Serenade” July 20 at the Sun Valley Pavilion. The concert will feature five artists with orchestra singing favorite arias and contemporary songs. Information: www.sunvalleyopera. com

Do you need to detox? By Dr. Jody Stanislaw, ND

here is a great amount of attention being paid to saving money these days. It’s no surprise following a stormy economic downturn that caught many Americans with too much debt and not enough in their rainy day funds. Saving is surely something banks are thinking about as more and more customers say, “I wish I could save more.” Saving money is important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is because it helps build a financial safety net for life’s unexpected changes. Loss of a job or a surprise addition to the family can send you scrambling to figure out how you’re going to make ends meet. U.S. Bank is helping customers answer the call to savings with a program that rewards them for starting down the path to a healthy savings habit. S.T.A.R.T., which stands for “Savings Today and Rewards Tomorrow,” allows customers to choose how and how much they wish to save, and rewards them when they reach their milestone. Enrolling in S.T.A.R.T. is simple. After opening an account, customers choose how

much they want to contribute, and the method that works best for them. They can transfer an amount they choose on a specific day of the month, or an amount for each U.S. Bank check card or U.S. Bank credit card purchase. Once established, watch the savings grow. When the first $1,000 savings milestone is reached, U.S. Bank rewards customers with a $50 Rewards Visa card to use as they wish. U.S. Bank will send another $50 Rewards Visa card when the $1,000 balance is maintained for more than a year. S.T.A.R.T. was designed by customers based on what they truly believed would be an attractive way to start a habit which, like many habits, can be challenging to form. Some tips to keep in mind: First, set an achievable goal. Big tasks are best accomplished when broken into smaller pieces that can be addressed one at a time. Saving a little now, for a long period of time, can yield very positive results. Second, make it automatic. Customers often say they don’t miss what they don’t see, so if $25 is taken out of their account once a month without a thought – it’s a lot easier to just sit back and watch the account grow. Third, measure your progress. If what you’re putting away isn’t adding up as fast as you wished, skip the fancy morning

Y

ou can’t see them but toxins are ubiquitous in today’s world. Be it in the water, the sky, or the land, toxins are there. If unfiltered, drinking water can be full of chlorine or residues from plastic bottles. Many of America’s rivers and lakes are too polluted for swimming or aquatic life. The air can be full of emissions from cars and factory smoke stacks, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. All of these end up in our lungs, and in the soil where our food grows. The EPA states that American homes are 70 times more polluted than outdoor air due to household cleaners, and vapors leaching out from chemicals such as fire retardants in furniture, plastics, mattresses, and carpets. Other sources are personal products such as fragrances and chemicals in shampoo, toothpaste, and laundry soap. Unless you are eating organic foods, you are regularly ingesting large amounts of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Sixty million pounds of pesticides are applied to U.S. crops annually. It’s no wonder that almost 800 billion dollars is spent on environmentally caused disease. As a result, all of us are living with environmental toxins in our bodies and, for many of us, these toxins are what are causing us to be ill and seek medical care. The challenge with disease caused by toxicity is that it can be challenging to diagnose. Toxins are not attracted to one particular area on your body, yet can have a subtle, deleterious effect throughout. Fatigues, headaches, depression, inability to concentrate…all of these symptoms have been shown to improve after taking steps to detoxify the body. What can you do to decrease the toxins in your body? The first step is to stop putting toxins into your body. The two easiest and most effective

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

places to begin are with your diet and your home. To see the list of the most toxic fruit and vegetables, visit www. Jody Stanislaw ewg.org. The most toxic food you can currently eat is farmed or ‘Atlantic’ salmon. If it does not say ‘wild salmon,’ don’t eat it. Buy organic. Choose natural cleaning products. Avoid scented candles and ‘air fresheners.’ Read the labels of your body products, especially soaps and lotions. Your skin absorbs everything it comes into contact with and gives a direct route into the blood stream. (Think of hormone patches.) Increase the amount of fiber you eat, i.e. eat vegetables and fruit daily. Fiber is a great toxin binder, green veggies in particular. The darker the green, the higher the chlorophyll content and the more toxins it will bind to and dump into the toilet. Green tea will also do this. You can also do a short term ‘detox cleanse.’ You can do this for three or even up to ten or more days. During a cleanse, you are instructed to eat a modified diet as well as take supplements that aid your body in binding and releasing toxins from your body.

coffee once a week and add $5 to your monthly savings amount. Fourth, stick to your plan but be flexible. S.T.A.R.T. is successful because it is flexible. Customers can change the amount they transfer so if they have a more expensive month, they can change how much they contribute and maybe make up for it in future contributions. S.T.A.R.T. has made one thing clear – saving money can happen if given the right tools and inspiration. The proof is in the results. U.S. Bank customers have achieved $1 billion in savings and earned more than $5 million in rewards cards as of late 2010. Ask around. You may find your friends and family have successfully started saving money recently, too. Just like any good habit, the results can be very rewarding. All you need is a little help to … start. tws

briefs New Trailing grant

The Idaho Humanities Council has awarded a $4,000 grant to assist with a full-day symposium titled “Women Writing and Living the West” to take place on Friday, Oct. 7, 2011, in Sun Valley at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge as a part of the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. “This is a landmark year for the Festival,” said Executive Director, Mary Austin Crofts. “We are planning an extraordinary celebration this year to honor 15 years of sharing and preserving our rich and colorful history, heritage and culture with the world.” In 2011, the Trailing of the Sheep Festival is honoring women and their contributions to the development of Idaho and the West. In honor of women, the Festival is planning a fullday symposium that will feature six of the finest women writers in the West along with ranching women to share their remarkable and powerful stories in a setting that is sure to be an historic event. Confirmed writers include: Gretel Ehrlich, Teresa Jordan, Linda Hasselstrom, Linda Hussa, Annick Smith, and Diane Josephy Peavey, co-founder of the Trailing of the Sheep festival.

Blaine Manor ranks in top 10

A recent release by U.S. News ranks Blaine Manor as one of the top 10 nursing homes in Idaho. Blaine Manor received an overall rating of five stars, the highest overall rating from the federal government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Seven of the top 10 nursing homes are run as for-profit organizations. Blaine Manor is owned by Blaine County; the other two entities, Ashton Living Center and Idaho Elks Rehab Hospital, are non-profits. Because almost all nursing homes accept Medicare or Medicaid residents, they are regulated by the federal government as well as by the states in which they operate. State survey teams conduct health inspections on behalf of CMS about every 12 to 15 months. They also investigate health-related complaints from residents, their families, and other members of the public. “Health” is broadly defined, as the checklist of 180-some items shows. Besides such matters as safety of food preparation and adequacy of infection control, the list covers such issues as medication management, residents’ rights and quality of life, and proper skin care.

WRHS Chess takes second at State Scholastic Tourney Story & Photos By ADAM PORTH

T

hree Wood River Valley teams competed in the 31st ICA Scholastic Championship and brought home several titles and this was the first time that the WRHS Chess Club has had elementary, middle school, and high school teams competing. The competition took place at Riverglen Junior High School in Boise last Saturday and included nearly 300 other children from around the state. There were 5 hourlong games in the K-8 sections and five two-hour-long games in the championship section. In the elementary sections, Darwin Porth, of Bellevue Elementary, scored 2.5 points in the kindergarten group, in a field with ten others to earn 4th place and a trophy. In an odd result, six children scored 2.5 pts. and forced organizers to use tie-breakers to determine the champion. Tie-breakers utilize mathematical algorithms that weight opponent’s score to determine the difficulty of the games individuals win and then the placements are determined. The Bellevue Bears also had a fifth grade team, consisting of 4 players. Fifth grade had the largest number of players and it was tough to move up the ranks. The scores were as follows: Dylan Porth, 2.5 pts., Colten Weatherly, 2.0 pts., Victor Saldivia, 2.0 pts., and Spencer Neel. Overall, their team earned 5th place. In the middle school section, Desmond Porth , WRMS, lead his team to certain victory and 1st place team champions. He also won third place 8th grade. Jake Whitlock won 4th place 8th grade and a trophy, as well. This is the first time that WRMS fielded a full team, with seven individuals competing. The high schoolers produced some nail-biting moments with two players, Nick Bruck, 4.0 pts., and Andrew Uriarte, 4.0 pts., in strong contention for the championship. title They played on the second and third boards in round five and needed two wins to win the state titles for themselves and for the team. As the games progressed into the 1 1/2 hour mark, Andrew finished before Nick with a decisive win. Fifteen minutes or so later, Nick emerged without the final win and the WRHS three-time championship team earned 2nd place, with Boise High School earning 1st place. Wood River High School ended the day with Nick Bruck obtaining the 12th grade title and Andrew Uriarte winning 2nd place. There were no Wood River 10th or 11th graders competing. In 9th grade, Chase Hutchinson won the 2nd place 9th grade title. “The overall placements do not show how close the final round was,” says Coach Adam Porth, “essentially five players scored 4 points and tied for 2nd place overall, but tie-breakers are tear-jerkers and that drops players to lower placements.” The Wood River High School Chess team is very happy with the results and will compete this Saturday in the Magic Valley Chess Championships held in Twin Falls. Their hope is to prepare for the National High School Championship held in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of April while simultaneously fundraising for the prestigious event. This will be the first time Idaho will have a full team represented and donations to achieve this are being solicited. Please contact Adam Porth, 450-9048 to help out or find out about local chessplaying opportunities.

Facing reality

A

s we’ve experienced for some time, the world is quickly and immutably changing. If you seriously believe in the end times, this may not a problem. If you don’t, then you’ve probably wondered what the lives of your children and grandchildren, and all young people everywhere will be like two, five, ten decades from now. You may feel frightened, confused, overwhelmed and want to turn your back on it all. That’s natural – so don’t feel bad if you do. The future is difficult to imagine, cognitively and emotionally, because of the magnitude, speed, and breadth of change that is happening. A 2009 Sony shareholders’ video states, “More unique information was generated in 2008 than the previous 5,000 years,” and, “Today’s top 10 most desirable jobs in the U.S. didn’t exist 20 years ago,” and, “Those students starting a four-year technical degree will find half of what they learn in their first year outdated by their third year.” How do we respond to this juggernaut? First, we must understand our limitations. Our brains developed when we were huntergatherers. We relied on a small, insular, somewhat mobile familial group. Short-term thinking was more relevant than long-term vision. We honed the instinct to quickly spot and protect against danger. Today, more primal than not, we struggle with fear, kneejerk reactions, tribal instincts, and a narrow scope of thinking. Our brains do not easily fathom the inner workings of, for example, the technologies we’ve so easily adopted or the vast scenes of far-reaching natural and human-caused destruction plastered over our media. With self-understanding, we can work to control and channel our fear, traits, and instincts, remembering the problems are not all “out there;” they lie also within us. Next, we must stop talking simply in statistical facts: “Global population will surpass seven billion this year.” “Thirty-three nations are at risk of food-related strife.” “By 2025, 2.6 billion people will live in countries without adequate water resources.” And, here’s one of the best: “If America’s autos were a separate country, they would be the world’s fifth largest global warming polluter.” “Wow,” you might think. “That’s a lot.” But how easy is it for most of us to wrap our heads around the numbers and feel confident that something can be done to improve the situation? We need to adopt language that makes facts more personal. Perhaps, regarding the water resources statistic, further elaboration such as “If New York City were a Somalian village, its residents would have to walk to Trenton, N.J. (or wherever) to draw household water.” We also must move beyond rewarding dramatic, fear-invoking, helplessness-inducing words and imagery. Rather, we must accompany the discussion of problems with our best ideas, suggestions, and information to solve them. No one, from President Obama to members of Congress to media pundits to reporters, and maybe even the average citizen, should consider emphasizing a problem unless they can suggest at least one, if not more, solutions. In other words, let’s limit just 15% of our time to hearing about and discussing problems; let the other 85% be devoted to constructive thinking and building on each others’ ideas for ways to solve them. We won’t get anywhere if we don’t do this!! Finally, we must act creatively in light of our limitations. Consider: If our brains are primal, yet our technology is expanding exponentially, how can we close the gap between the two? What methods can we implement to achieve a more “human” pace? What education is necessary to provide us with a greater sense of empowerment and hope, emotions that fear undermines? We have come a long way but the deepest parts of our brain still have more power over our behavior than the more recent, rational parts. tws If you have question or comments, contact Jima Rice directly at: jimasv@cox.net.

Fast Facts Best Day for a Sale

Dear Classified Guys, There's one thing I hate when I hold a garage sale‌early birds! People show up at 7am ready to shop. They have a lot of nerve. I'm not even out of bed yet and people are knocking on my door wondering where the tables are. Any idea on how to deal with them? My wife said that chasing them out of the yard with one of the fry pans from the garage sale was unacceptable.

Cash: If you don't want to actu-

ally chase them, you can always turn on the lawn sprinklers. That's usually good for a laugh. Carry: While I agree that it's no fun when people storm your driveway at dawn, early birds are still potential customers. If your goal is to sell all your items, you may want to wake up a little earlier and be prepared. Cash: Early birds typically show up an hour or two before your sale opens. I've had them come as early as 6am. Although if they show up that early, I insist they bring me coffee! Carry: You can try posting "No early birds" in your newspaper ad, but let's be honest. If these people are bold enough to show up at

7am, a simple request in an ad will not deter them. Your best bet is to just be prepared. Cash: To save yourself some time in the morning, lay out your items on tables the day before the sale. You can store everything in the garage or under tarps to keep them safe and dry. In the morning, just move the finished tables out into the yard and set up any miscellaneous items. Carry: Early birds are just trying to get the deals before everyone else. Some are antique dealers looking for the rare find, but most are avid garage sale enthusiasts hoping for a bargain.

In either case, it's a good idea to stay firm on your price. If an early bird is interested in the item, it's likely someone else will want it during the course of the day. Cash: If early shoppers continue to annoy you, there are still a few things you can do to turn them away. Besides posting it in your ad, place a sign at the edge of your driveway saying "No early birds." Those that show up prematurely will hopefully heed the warning. If not, simply tell them you're not open for business yet. Carry: And if all else fails, you can always pull out your frying pan.

Reader Humor Breakfast Special

So what's the best day to hold a garage sale? Overwhelmingly, Saturdays are voted the favorite among avid shoppers. Saturday garage sales are likely to get two to three times more people than a Friday or Sunday sale. With the proper advertising, that could mean selling all your stuff in one day and taking Sunday off. Start advertising your garage sale several days in advance. Newspaper ads should appear starting Wednesday and signs should be posted with the date of the sale a few days in advance.

Caffeinated Sales

Want to wake up your garage sale customers? Try putting out a fresh pot of coffee. It's a small cost that goes a long way. Many people need their morning coffee to settle into the day and relax. And relaxed people are more likely to make a purchase. Be sure to mention "Free Coffee" in your newspaper ad. It should be enough to make your garage sale the first stop. •

When my husband and I held our yard sale, we agreed that any "early birds" would be turned away, no questions asked. On the morning of our sale, my husband went to set up outside while I prepared inside. As I looked out the window, I noticed a guy rustling through the stuff in the driveway. I rushed to the front door to tell my husband. But when I opened the door, he was standing there watching the man. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I thought we said no early birds." I realized he was outsmarted when he wiped powdered sugar from his chin and said, "I know, but he brought me coffee and donuts." (Thanks to Melinda G.)
