Capacity building in a non-profit world

T

he Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation recently sponsored a forum on “Capacity by: JIMA Building for a Rice, Ph.D. Non-Profit Ecosystem.” I found it thought-provoking. “Capacity building” for non-profits became a topic of research about 10 years ago. The term refers to strengthening non-profit organizations so they can better achieve their goals. Put simply, capacity building is about ensuring a nonprofit has a well-trained board and staff, a sound organizational structure, and effective operating systems. After all, even the most inspiring mission and programs will falter without organizational capacity to back them up. In the for-profit world, practices to build an effective organization have been around since the ’60s. The consulting field of “organization development” emerged with the growth of complex organizations to offer

Their move: the WRHS chess team tops state By Adam Porth

T

he ICA Scholastic Championship that recently attracted 270 students was another wonderful experience for the Wood River High School chess team. Games were tough, as expected, but our goals were to be the top team and to take home some individual trophies. We accomplished this and more! Wood River High School is the number one team in the state of Idaho. There were three teams competing in the championship section: Borah High School, Rigby High School and Wood River High School. Our team started out very slowly, with no Round 1 wins. In Round 2, Taylor Walton (2 pts.) and Andrew Uriarte (3 pts.) earned our first victories against the two other teams. Nick Bruck (2 1/2 pts.) earned a draw and Miles had to play one of our own and earned a win. Round 3 produced naught, as all Wood River competitors were paired against one another. As expected, we were only one point ahead of the other teams entering Round 4. In Round 5, Nick and Tyler Jaramillo (2 pts.) each took another win from the other two teams and created a two-point lead for our team and Wood River ended with the first-place team trophy. Great job, guys! In the seventh-throughninth-grade section, Desmond Porth (2 pts.) and Riley Neel (2 pts.), both in seventh-grade,

I’ve taught myself to read sheet music and over the years I’ve cycled through a dozen instruments, although I’m most proficient at the piano. I love classical, jazz and electronica, but I get a lot of grief because I’m not into rock and rap and I’m definitely not into the Beatles.” He also loves to hula hoop, which he has been doing for five years after being turned on to it by his mother. But these are big hoops, sometimes up to 6 feet in diameter, and he can manipulate them from head to foot with a precise efficiency. “It’s really fun. It’s also relaxing and sort of a meditation for me.” It is a unique outlet for a twp rather unique student.

Guess how many dog cookies are in the jar and win $300! Each guess is only $5. All proceeds go to support the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. The winner will be announced at the Fur Ball on April 2 at The Mint in Hailey. You do not need to be present to win. The cookie count jars are at The Barkin’ Basement, 111 S.

Stop by to count the cookies and support the shelter! The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, the first “no-kill” shelter in Idaho, promotes companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless animals, adopting them to qualified homes and reducing animal abuse, neglect and overpopulation through community education and spay/ neuter services. More than 90 percent of its funding comes from private donations. In 2008 more than 1,500 animals received services from the shelter. This includes 407 animals that were adopted, 263 lost animals that were reunited with their owners, and 421 privately-owned animals that were spayed or neutered at no cost to their owners. On an average day, the shelter cares for 45 dogs and 45 cats. Additional information is available by calling 208-788-4351 or on the Internet at www.animalshelterwrv.org.

Food for thought

Spring is definitely in the air, but the economic picture for many is not so rosy. According to Hunger in Idaho 2010, a landmark study released by the Idaho Food Bank this month, 34 percent of Idahoans choose between paying their rent or mortgage and paying for food. Blaine County is no exception. As with the rest of Idaho, and the rest of the nation, many are facing critical decisions on a daily basis. Considering this, who has anything left over to donate? This is the serious dilemma facing The Hunger Coalition today. Numbers are steady and the demand for help is constant, but donations are down. As a major provider of food assistance to the hungry in Blaine County, The Hunger Coalition relies on donations of cash and food to feed up to 350 families every month. Through partnerships with statewide agencies, they are leveraging their purchasing power. Every $10 cash donation can be turned into $100 worth of food thanks to these partnerships. Dedicated volunteers pick up donations of fresh food daily from local grocers, increasing the nutritional value and variety of the foods available for distribution. Innovation, partnerships, a dedicated group of volunteers and donors are what make it possible for The Hunger Coalition’s small staff to feed hundreds of our community members. Without money and food, there won’t be anything to distribute. And this is the real concern for the hungry throughout our community. Is there something you can do to help? Visit their Web site at: www. thehungercoalition.org for information on how you can help or call 788-0121.

Chapter 6 I remember when spring break meant just that. A break. From everything. School, work, responsibilities, routines. It meant sun, fun, traveling with too many people and too much stuff in small cars to beaches packed with thousands of kids in the same vaycay mode. I can’t say I don’t miss those carefree days. At the same time, I’m happy to be in a more settled spot. Satisfying work. Good friends. A relatively solid, predictable future. Still, this past spring break left me in neutral, not wild fun, yet not altogether a disappointment. I did what I thought I’d never do. A staycation. It started with a great ski day, followed by several perfect bluebird mountain days. New spring snow, no lift lines, a little sun and some good friends. I’d have to say that a home-based vacation here is still one-up on about 90 percent of any other destination. I spent the week exploring backcountry trails with my best four-footed friend, testing restaurants with friends and great success. And the live music scene here? Pretty impressive for a little ole ski town. Most mornings started slow, with a bachelor breakfast, maximum coffee, and ridiculous conversations with Tweet. For a bird, he’s pretty good company. I do wish he hadn’t learned such colorful Spanish, however. What was funny in college has lost a little of its appeal. I’m still amused, though, by some of the cooperative tricks he does with Bud, like riding around on his back while waiting for their own grub to

be dished. And I have to laugh whenever Tweet does his own version of the “shuffle.” Pets and good friends, great skiing and awesome music, a world-class resort at my feet, I should have felt nothing but gratitude. I easily spent the week going from one activity or event to another, one invite to the next, acting like a tourist, although a very savvy one, and loving every minute of it. Something was missing though. I snuck a peek at the silent phone laying on the table. No new messages. Was I really that disposable? Did I really deserve this kind of a dump? Was I even really dumped? Maybe I was being too critical of the whole thing, making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe Lana was wishing for a call from me, wondering when she’d hear my voice again beckoning her to head back to Idaho for another visit. Well, no way to know unless I call, right? I picked up the phone, slid my index finger down the list and got to Lana’s name. I lifted from the touchscreen just in time to avoid a send. Think about this one, buddy. Do ya’ really want this? As I was staring down the app of the Baldy trail map, in the last, quiet, reflective morning of the break, the phone jazzed up and danced to the Dave Matthews ringtone. Not Lana. But a number I’d not seen in a very long time. twp “Hullo?”

Big Wood Preschool Gallery Walk

T

heir names aren’t William Morris or Dale Chihuly. Instead, they go by names like Leo Molter and Agnes Kind. But like the Chihulys of the world, these tiny tots have found their work the focal point of a Gallery Walk. The Big Wood Preschool, which is located in the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood, recently staged a Gallery Walk, complete with young women serving up hors d’oeuvres and apple juice. There were abstracts and mosaics on loan from teacher Julie Swenke’s galleries, abstract pastels and charcoal works from the galleries of Catalina Morales; cut-paper constructions; mixed media presented as a gift from the Silvia Morales’ Foundation; watercolors from the combined collection of Cathy Largent and L. Fraser; and a 3D by: Karen display provided Bossick by the Alice M. Andy Gilbert’s eyes bug out at seeing the Hairy Heads as Leo Molter looks on.

~ good advice from local practitioners ~

An ounce of prevention By Kathleen L. Turner

S

eeking a cure for cancer is obviously an extremely valuable and desirable pursuit. But, if you could take steps to prevent, or at least significantly reduce, the odds of a cancer diagnosis, wouldn’t that be the better choice? Cancer research has taught us many things about how to do just that. There are studies galore that expose specific ingredients as carcinogens, others as just the opposite. If we are willing to do a little reading, to make a few changes, and to actively go about our daily routines in ways that prevent, rather than encourage, the development of abnormal cancer cells, we can improve the odds of hearing that dreaded diagnosis. Many people find the information conflicting. That is no surprise. Manufacturers of products that contain ingredients listed on the EPA’s list of toxic chemicals spend a great deal of time and money to discredit information that might give their products a bad name. How is a consumer to choose the right path? The chemical names often seem long and confusing, and many of us are just lazy about learning the facts, but it’s not really very hard to make some significant changes. For starters, there are a couple of things that are pretty universal. While exceptions exist, we know that smoking is directly attributable to certain types of cancer. If you smoke, that’s one of the most important behaviors to consider changing. Other products we know contain carcinogenic or cancercausing substances include processed meats such as hot dogs and whole milk. Boy, howdy, we love our hot dogs at ball games and on the Fourth of July. And what could seem healthier for a young, growing child than a tall glass of cold milk with that dog? While one hot dog or an occasional milk mustache will not likely predispose one to cancer, the collective effects of the hundreds of chemicals we take in from foods, pharmaceuticals

and personal care products can set the stage for abnormal cell development and cancer. Conventionally produced, processed meats often contain benzene hexachloride, dacthal, dieldrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene and/or lindane, all carcinogens. Such meats also often contain nitrites, which interact with amine groups in the meat to form harmful nitrosamines. Conventional whole milk products often contain DDT, dieldrin, heptachlor and RGBH, recombinant bovine growth hormone, all of which increase the chances of breast, colon and prostate cancers. Choosing meat and dairy products without nitrites or RBGH significantly improves your odds against a cancer diagnosis. In contrast, many naturally occurring chemicals in dark colored fruits and vegetables offer protection in that they seek and find abnormal cells, causing apoptosis or cell death, nipping potential problems in the process. What else do we know? Quaternium 15, formaldehyde, saccharin and FD&C red dye #40 are all present in many personal care products we use on our bodies every day. They are also known carcinogens. Choosing products that do not contain these ingredients is another way to sidestep cancer. We also know that many toxins are stored in fat cells. Maintaining a healthy weight goes a long way toward avoiding many health problems, so get moving. And that does not mean “in your car.” For more information go to the American Cancer Society Web site at www.cancer.org and click or search for known carcinogens list. The EPA known carcinogens list can be requested via a phone call to the the EPA office in Wash., DC, at (703) 305-5017. twp

‘Diary Of A Wimpy Kid’ so-so Jon rated this movie

I

s there a worse time in life than that between childhood and being a teenager? Today we call it a tweener, but despite what you want to call it, most likely it’s sheer hell. And for most of us the fun and games are played out in middle school in what seems to be one long downer. The first year in middle school can be the worst, and sixth grade is where we find the eleven-year-olds who star in the new kid’s film, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The movie is based on the hugely successful illustrated books by Jeff Kinney that have sold over 16 million copies. It

Remember those things you said you wanted just a few short months ago? Do you still want them? If things haven’t quite worked out to bring about the success of your New Year’s resolutions for 2010, this could be the fresh start you need. It’s the first full week of the Aries solar journey of 2010, featuring increased energy reserves just waiting for us to tap in to. Aries declares, “I am!” Seize this moment to define yourself anew. ARIES (March 21-April 19). No wonder people want to be around you. You are cheerful, interested and helpful. What they don’t know is that you may not actually be feeling that way on the inside -- at least not at first. But your habit of acting as though you feel terrific always wins out eventually, and you become just as happy as the act. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Reaching out, caring and building relationships through shared fun are serious business, worthy of your best attention. If you have trouble allowing yourself to cut loose, tell yourself that you’re doing it for the survival of the human species, which depends on the connections we make with one another. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wouldn’t mind if a certain person paid a little more (or a lot more) attention to you. You can be captivating when you put your mind to it. You may be moving too fast, not giving this person the chance to notice you. Slow it down to half the speed, and you may very well attract the attention you’ve been craving all along. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be putting your whole self into a job, and you will succeed because you are brave enough to do this. Others in your position have held back, afraid of the criticism they would get and the pain that might cause. You realize that what others think of your

work is not the point -- at least not at this juncture. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being creative is not just about being able to paint a picture. It takes imagination to solve even the most practical of business, finance or basic lifestyle issues. A sensitive artist type will bring out your creativity this week. Although, you’re already so inspired that it really doesn’t take much coaxing to light your fire. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll need your environment to serve a different function than it once did. You’ll be designing a space to new specifications. Maybe you’ll be turning an area into a workspace. You’ll be extremely productive once this project is finished, though it may take a while. Keep only what is useful or positively meaningful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a bit of trouble with someone who is too self-conscious to understand what you need, let alone deliver it. Consider how insecure and fragile this person must feel. That will help you think the nicest thought possible when you look into his or her eyes. Believing the best in people just might make it so. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be harder to connect with someone you know well than it is to connect with a stranger. That’s because there’s so much water under the bridge with your familiar one. Not to worry, there is hope in mending things or breathing new excitement into them. Start simple. Detect the other person’s energy, and respond. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have put yourself in such a position that there is no backing down. You knew this would be the way, and on some level, you did it on purpose. You knew that if you had no choice, you would be forced to succeed - and succeed you will. You are capable of a great deal more than you

imagine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The old methods of managing your personal life need an update, and an organized friend helps you forge new habits. This weekend, you will finally be participating in that event you’ve been looking forward to for so long -- and yes, the experience will be all you had hoped it would be. A Taurus is your lucky contact. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve put off a pleasurable task long enough. Why delay your satisfaction any longer? You deserve to feel just as taken care of as the people you have been caring for. This weekend, everyone enjoys being generous with you, so you may as well get used to it. Your sincere thanks is all they want in return. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The mistake happened when you backed off instead of going forward. You didn’t want to push it. Unfortunately, the path of least resistance is not always readily available to you. The problem you face can only be solved with more courage, endurance or resolve. And you might have to push, too. That’s what’s called for. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: This year turns up your zest for life. The increased passion touches your personal life first, and relationships become both exciting and tender through April. You discover your independence at work in May. A wound of the spirit will be healed in June. Your finances will reflect your improved self-esteem, and you’ll work hard and smart enough to net a big summer bonus. Education and travel will be featured in September. 2011 kicks off with a meaningful and memorable kiss. twp

range balloons made festive flanks on Main Street last Thursday and Friday as 58 businesses opened their doors for Hailey’s Spring Break Staycation Scavenger Hunt. About 150 children participated in the Scavenger Hunt. During Friday’s wrap-up there were live performances from Disciples of Rock, and another group from Music ‘n Me. There was also a bouncy castle for children to burn off any extra energy they may have had left over after hitting the streets to visit so many Hailey businesses.

Skiing on Baldy continues to be good— and, yes, the turns in the sun are nice even at 9 in the morning. It’s been just cool enough, however, that you can easily show up at noon and still get the best turns of the day. The Sun Valley Nordic Center has closed for the season, unable to mount a defense against this winter’s warm temperatures and stingy snow. It is, recalls longtime valley resident Jean Cooper, perhaps the earliest the Nordic Center has ever closed. The Wood River bike path, likewise, has started feeling the steely cut of the snowplow as the Blaine County Recreation District readies it for summer biking. Don’t be too hasty to pump up your tires, though— there’s still plenty of snow several stretches along the path, including West Ketchum Watch daredevils on skis and snowboards sail above Smith Optics’ limo and the Cold Springs area.

capacity bldg. ...from pg 1 a broad range of mission-support services such as strategic planning, marketing strategy, budgeting and financial forecasting, and human resource programs. Forty years later, beginning in roughly 2001, these same practices were cited as important for non-profit organizations under the term “capacity building.” Why the lag between the growth of “organization development” in the for-profit world and that of “capacity building” in the not-for-profit world? Two dynamics are likely. First, nurtured by a full-bore economy, the non-profit sector has experienced huge and diverse growth since the late 1980’s. Second, venture capitalists have increasingly moved toward hands-on involvement with non-profits and imported many of the lessons they learned in the business world. The convergence of organization development and capacity building makes sense given that most organizations, profit or non-profit, grow in similar ways. The best are entrepreneurial at first: a passionate individual with a novel idea to meet a consumer or civic need springs into action, creates a desirable product or service, assembles a team, finds financing, and presents his or her brainchild to the world. If the brainchild develops traction, a supporting organization evolves through baby steps to start-up status to burgeoning success to established maturity. There is another convergence point emerging as well. Traditionally, for-profits have aimed to make money for shareholders while not-for-profits have aimed to respond altruistically to civic needs. Increasingly, this difference is fading as businesses practice social entrepreneurship, i.e. donating a share of their profits to nonprofit efforts, and non-profits look to create sustainable income-generating ventures. Simply put, any organization will more successfully pursue its mission when it is well run in a supportive community/social context (or ecosystem) and

has a year-upon-year reliable funding stream. The Wood River Valley has an estimated 120-160 nonprofits of which 15-20 are well-established. All of them could benefit from the following three capacity builders to greater or lesser degree, but especially the younger, smaller organizations:

1. Board development. This includes items like a proven recruitment process for new members, orientation to the non-profit’s history and mission, and accountability for responsibilities. 2. Executive director and staff development. This includes items like leadership/ management training, job descriptions, performance reviews, and guidance for strategic collaboration with other non-profits. 3. Operating support. This covers items like up-to-date technology, office space and staff, internal communications, and legal, accounting, and other professional services.

Each non-profit can and should address capacity building for its own purposes. Many of the larger ones in the Valley already do. The question raised at the Women’s Charitable Foundation forum, however, was how capacity building might be implemented in a broader, more coordinated way for our valley’s entire non-profit sector. In other words, can we build a community eco-system that nurtures non-profit success? For example, might we create a centralized outreach program to help non-profits identify appropriate granting agencies, potential volunteers, willing board members, training and development professionals, and opportunities for collaboration and networking? It’s certainly worth the discustwp sion. Jima Rice holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, and is president of Jigsaw, Inc., a local 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports entrepreneurs, small businesses, and a sustainable economy in the Wood River Valley.

Jersey-born violist Orlando Wells and Gotay, whose own path took him from the Bronx to Carnegie Hall. Much of the group’s repertoire is rooted in improvisation, which the four try to weave into classical music. “We’re one of the few string quartets I know of that write the majority of the music we perform,” Gotay said. “When you think of a string quartet ,you usually think of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. But our music is a derivative of our culture with the Latin, jazz and hip-hop, and it incorporates improvisation the same way a jazz quintet would.” While here, Sweet Plantain will do a school residency. The group runs a string program at a school in the South Bronx, a neighborhood with one of the highest poverty rates in the United States. “We’ve been able to bridge the generational divide. We play concerts for older crowds and we play at colleges,” Gotay said. “Young people gravitate to our music because we take classical and combine it with the music that we’ve been listening to all our lives. Part of our relevance is performing the music we love to listen to.” Tickets are $20 for Center members and $30 for nonmembers, available online at www.sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 726-9491. twp

Shalala said she doesn’t believe Republicans will be able to repeal the act, as they’ve threatened. Nor does she think legal challenges have any chance. What’s more, she said, she doubts states will opt out of the plan, despite their rhetoric, given the resources that will be invested in the working class people. Shalala noted that many of the ideas in the health care plan were formulated by Republicans like Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Still she was surprised Republicans didn’t step up with an alternate plan. “Starting over would be an interesting argument—if we knew what the Republicans wanted to do.� twp

Shalala soundbites

The biggest socialist health care system in the world is the Veterans Administration. Medicare has an 87 percent satisfaction rate but its payments need to be equalized across the nation. Get people to eat right, exercise and stop smoking and we’ll have plenty of money for health care in this country. It’s fair to pay pharmaceutical companies for drug research but we shouldn’t pay them for advertising. Because we do, Americans pay more than any other country in the world for the same exact drug. Affordable health care is defined as 9 percent of your income, according to the new legislation. For low-income people, it starts at 2 or 3 percent.

Now is a good time to check for leaks around your house if you did not already before fall. Open your windows, let the fresh air in! Put away sweaters, use natural moth repellents like cedar blocks, sachets with lavender, thyme, peppermint or rosemary. Do not use moth balls which contain toxic pesticides like Naphthalene, a poisonous gas. When cleaning, be sure to use non-toxic products or make your own. Vinegar and baking soda cost a fraction of commercial products and work surprisingly well. Recycle old magazines and newspapers. Dispose of hazard-

Pawnhass (Scrapple) by Dennis Wright The old recipe was originally from the Pennsylvania Dutch and was a way to use the scrap meat after family butchering day. Scrap pork meat was cooked and mixed with Indian meal (cornmeal) and, after cooking, put in loaf pans to cool and congeal. Within hours, or the next morning, you can turn the loaf out on a cutting board and slice 3/8inch pieces which are either fried or baked on a cookie sheet. It’s a take-off of fried mush or what many today term polenta. No matter what you call it, here’s how to make some cornmeal that you won’t soon forget. Take a pound of good country sausage and fry it until somewhat browned. Drain excess grease and set aside. To a 4-quart pan, add 5 cups of water, a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of black pepper and up to a teaspoon of sage if you care for the spice. Bring to a boil. Add two cups of cornmeal (we use the bulk cornmeal that is available locally). Stir continually, since it will pop and splatter out of the pan. Add the cooked sausage and cook for about 15 minutes or until quite dry. Spray a couple of bread loaf pans and, after cooking, divide the mixture between them. Cover and cool. When cooled, it will be sliceable with a clean knife. These slices can be fried for about 10 minutes on each side or baked at about 375 degrees on a cookie sheet for about 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Bake it longer if you like it more crisp. We use it for a weekend breakfast treat. Enjoy. Thank you, Dennis, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, HELP! I'm getting cold feet and need advice. It all started two weeks ago when I decided to ask my girlfriend to marry me. After dating for a few months, I realized she was the one. Then, last week, my mom and dad decided to have a yard sale. Besides selling the usual stuff, my mom decided to clean out her closet of dresses, blouses and pants that no longer fit. I didn't know they were having the sale when my new fiancĂŠ and I stopped by to share the good news. While we were there, some of the clothes caught her eye, so my mom gave them to her. When we got home, she tried them on. As she fashioned the new outfits, it suddenly dawned on me. OH MY GOD, I'm marrying my mother! As I thought about it, she even has the same hair color, eye color and personality. Now she has her clothes! Maybe I should call it off before this gets worse. What do you think?

going gets tough, the tough go shopping. Maybe it's time to take you fiancĂŠ out for some new clothes, and this time, avoid your

parent's yard sale. Cash: Getting married can be stressful, even before you start planning the event. You've made a big decision recently and it's common to revisit the idea, especially considering your recent wardrobe dilemmas. Carry: The truth is that you may actually be marrying someone who has similar attributes to your mother. There are many studies that suggest people seek out relationships with others who have similar physical or emotional traits as their parents. It tends to offer a sense of connection and comfort. Although, Freud probably has a few very interesting theories on that matter as well! Cash: Despite your fiancĂŠ's

newfound resemblance to your mother, don't let the new clothing decide your future. Before you make any final decisions, clean out the closet. Tell your fiancĂŠ that the clothes make you feel uncomfortable and offer to take her shopping instead. She's sure to agree to a shopping trip! Carry: If you find you're still unsure of your decision to get married, find someone to talk to about it, like a therapist or close friend. Sometimes just talking through the jitters is enough to warm those cold feet. Cash: And the next time you plan on stopping by your parent's house, be sure to call first to make sure they're not selling anything else!

Wedding Bliss

Reader Humor Music to My Ears

While most engagements are met with sheer joy and happiness, "cold feet" is more common than you might think. As your "singlelife" ends, there's often a sense of worry about losing independence or breaking family connections. Most experts agree that it's best to work through these feelings before proceeding, rather than shying away from the anxiety. Some suggest journaling to reflect your thoughts or confiding in a professional or friend. Many marriages seem to have their ups and downs. And the same seems to be true of the marriage rate over the past 50 years. Between 1960 and 1990, the number of marriages per year continually increased from 1.51 million to 2.44 million. However, since 1991 there has been a steady decrease in the number of matrimonies. Year 2008, with 2.16 million marriages, was the lowest since the record high in 1990. Fortunately for businesses, the wedding industry is still worth an estimated 71 billion dollars annually. The average wedding costs around $31,000 and involves 169 guests.

From the moment my friend Jake told me that he was getting married, Jenn, his bride-to-be, took over planning every detail and left Jake out of most of it. Needless to say, I was surprised when he called and asked me to find him a band for his reception. As a radio DJ, I pulled a few strings and got him the hottest band in the area. However, when I called to give him the great news, he told me it probably wasn't going to work out. "What do you mean?" I said. "These guys are perfect." "Well," he sighed. "When Jenn told me I could pick the wedding 'band', apparently she only meant the style of my ring!" (Thanks to Buster D.)
