DID YOU KNOW

Martinez is a champ By KAREN BOSSICK

W

ood River High School’s standout basketball player Kaitana Martinez was named the Twin Falls Times-News’ girls basketball player of the year in Saturday’s paper. The speedy guard averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game for the Kaitana Martinez 19-4 Wolverines while shooting 41 percent. She made The Idaho Statesman’s 4A Girls All-Idaho Basketball Team on Sunday, receiving raves from Shelley coach Burke Davis as “the most fundamentally sound player I’ve seen all year.� If you haven’t seen this 5-foot-6 guard, mark your calendar for next year when she returns for her senior season. Times-News reporter Stephen Meyers said Martinez is already practicing for that season, even though the high school basketball season ended a month ago. She’s lifting weights, doing agility work, dribbling two balls at a time— she even jogged around 7,000-foot Flagstaff, Ariz., during spring break last week, dribbling a basketball. It’ll all be worth it, she says, when she signs her letter of intent to play college basketball. So far, she’s being recruited by Oregon State, Utah State and Wyoming. tws

‌the beginning

I

By KAREN BOSSICK

t all started in 1969 when filmmaker Dick Barrymore spotted Bobby Burns banging the bumps on Lower Holiday, sitting back as if he were sitting on a toilet seat his arms waving 60-inch poles overhead. Hot diggety dog! Inspired by what he saw, Barrymore made a short film of Burns. And two years later, he introduced the sport of freestyle skiing to America by taking four Sun Valley guys and a skier from Mammoth on a three-month, 10,000-mile tour of American ski resorts. Barrymore took 100,000 feet of film for K2 Skis during that trip. And he produced “The Performers,� his most popular film ever. “That really started the ball rolling for freestyle skiing,� said Charlie McWilliams, a ski racer who went on to run the freestyle and racing programs for K2 before becoming a Sun Valley builder. “It was all about guys who loved skiing and loved expressing themselves on skis.� McWilliams, Jim Stelling and Pat Bauman are reliving that time this week as the International Skiing History Association pays tribute to the Founders of Freestyle Skiing during the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Saturday night at the Sun Valley Limelight Room. And Thursday night Whiskey Jacques and K2 are throwing a Freedogger Party beginning at 7:30 p.m. with a K2Cheeseburger Contest, K2 T-shirt Contest, music, ski movies and raffles for K2 prizes. Pat Bauman up “It was a dream come true for young skiers like us to front, Bob Grisw in red, John Cl endenin in blue old in the striped sweater, Ch travel to all those different ski resorts,� said Stelling, arlie McWilliam and Jim Stellin courte sy pH OTOs g in the rear. s who eventually became a painter. “We were celebrities—everyone wined and dined us. But the highlight was getting paid $7 a day. It hardly bought breakfast. But we said, ‘Hey, we’d do this for free. Let’s go ahead and take the money.’ � Stelling, McWilliams, Bauman, the late Bob Griswold and John Clendenin, whom Barrymore spotted at Mammoth Mountain, drove from resort to resort in a 25-foot “K2� RV painted in the red, white and blue colors that K2 adorned its skies with in the early 1970s. They put on exhibitions at each resort, even building their own 150-foot-tall jumps at Midwestern and Eastern ski resorts too flat to have their own jumps. Never wanting to be shown up, each pushed the limit, performing helicopters, back flips, double backflips, 720s and stand-up jumps as they skied fast zipper lines down mogul fields. “We were hotshot skiers. We liked to be noticed,� said Stelling, a rain-weary University of Washington student who moved to Sun Valley permanently after he took winter off and didn’t see a cloud in the sky for six weeks. “And everyone wanted to ski like them,� said Rich Bingham, now the snow safety director for the Sun Valley Ski Patrol.

Hall of Fame honors Holding, Davis

Carol and Earl Holding greeted hundreds of people at the historic Roundhouse Restaurant during last year’s Gondola-Ganza, in which Sun Valley introduced its new gondola to the community. PhotoS: KAREN BOSSICK/TWS

Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is this Saturday

Earl Holding presents Muffy Davis with a sign renaming a ski run on Seattle Ridge “Muffy’s Medals� following her showing at the 2002 Paralympics in Salt Lake City.

–Bonnie Wetmore Ski Instructor

California’s Mt. Shasta using hand-cranked machines called SnowPods. She is married and the mother of a baby girl.

Earl Holding

Neither Earl Holding nor his wife Carol knew how to ski very well when they wrote out a check for $12 million to purchase Sun Valley in 1977. In subsequent years, Earl Holding did learn to ski in the process of transforming the resort into a world-class ski resort with some of the finest snowmaking, high-speed quads, state-of-the-art groomers and onmountain lodges in the world. Then, when the 2002 Winter Olympics came calling, he carved out a downhill race course on Snowbasin—Sun Valley’s junior sister near Ogden, Utah. An engineer by trade, Holding made his fortune with Sinclair Oil and Little America Corp. The most recent Forbes survey listed him as the 362nd richest man on the list of the world’s richest billionaires and 115th richest in the United States. He was the only Idahoan to make that list. He was very hands-on in his early days as he used his knowledge of hydraulics to figure out ways to make snowmaking as near to snow from heaven. When others told him log lodges couldn’t support the large picture windows he wanted in his River Run Lodge, he figured out a way to use steel covered with logs to make it happen. “Earl has a saying ‘Anything worth doing is worth overdoing,’ � said longtime ski instructor Bonnie Wetmore. “And it shows up everywhere you look in Sun Valley.� tws

Muffy Davis

At 4 Muffy Davis told her mother M.B. that God had made her to be a ski racer. As a youngster, she grew up racing neck and neck with eventual three-time Olympian Picabo Street. And at 14 Davis was one of three American girls selected to represent the United States in a series of races in Italy with the idea that this was one step along the way to the Olympic team. But two years later, her Olympic dreams seemed to vanish in a poof when she careened off a cat track leading from Lower Warm Springs to Greyhawk on Baldy during a training run. Paralyzed with a T-6 injury, she swore she would never ski again unless it was standing on two skis. But after one year off the snow, she realized she missed it too much. And with the help of Marc Mast, an adaptive ski instructor at Sun Valley, she learned to ski a monoski, which consists of a bucket-like seat mounted on a single ski and controlled by outriggers or small skis on her arms. After graduating from Stanford University in 1995, she tried racing on her monoski, eventually making the U.S. Paralympic team. She medaled four times in the 2002 Paralympics at Salt Lake City, and Sun Valley Resort renamed “Southern Comfort� on Seattle Ridge “Muffy’s Medals.� Following the Paralympics she took up residence in Salt Lake City where she worked at the University of Utah Health Sciences Rehabilitation Center while doubling as a motivational speaker. She also made history with three other paraplegics in 2002 when she climbed

o travel the world is a dream that most of us have. To travel the world and to also spend two years living in Hawaii is a dream beyond belief. But that is the story of Wood River High School student Claire Bowman, who spent last year living in Barcelona, Spain, on an exchange program. The senior, carrying a 3.9 grade point average, has seen more than most of us will in a lifetime. “It’s just something that I have been able to do and I’m extremely fortunate. I love people, and travel has let me experience them all over the world,” she said. Besides trips to Mexico and Canada, she had the incredible opportunity to go with her family to China when she was in sixth grade. “We stayed in Shanghai and Beijing but we also slipped away to see the rural countryside. It was so primitive and I’ve never seen such poverty. There is no running water and all of it has to be carried to the village. But it was also one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen.” In eighth grade she went with the Wood River travel club to Peru. “It was a great trip but it was really structured. I like going off the beaten path when I can. Meeting new people is the best because they all have amazing stories to share. Seeing the ruins at Machu Picchu was incredible. They are built on these huge cliffs in the middle of the mountains. How could primitive people ages ago with no tools have built this?” Her sophomore year, Claire had the unique opportunity to visit the Middle East and Jordan and Israel as part of the Youth League. The purpose of the three-week trip was to study the history and culture of the region but also to try to find solutions to the age-old conflict. “It was a lifechanging experience and also an emotional one. In Israel we met kids through a program called Seeds of Peace that included both Israelis and Palestinians. When we met with them we were all in tears. One kid’s grandfather had killed another’s grandfather. One kid’s family had destroyed the other kid’s family home. The kids are trying to let go but it is such a challenging conflict and it stretches back generations. It will be difficult to solve.” Last year it was off to a year abroad and living in Barcelona. “I love cities. People from a small town think they are very cold but that’s not true. Every day I walked to school and passed the same boy but we never said hello but I still felt there was a connection between us and that we were friends. The thing about cities is that, even though you are apart, there is a communal agreement that brings everyone together. I love Idaho and in a small town everyone is so supportive. When I go into a coffee shop or the grocery store everyone knows me and it’s such a feeling of community. Everyone has your back and it’s very empowering. The downside I guess is that it doesn’t allow for new beginnings because everyone knows your history. “I decided to do the exchange program because I love to travel and I wanted to learn a new language. I had taken two years of Spanish in high school but it wasn’t enough. My host mom spoke English but we never used it. The food was amazing and I put on 25 pounds because I ate one and a half loaves of bread a day. My hosts thought it was pretty funny. I had also never eaten seafood because I didn’t like it but there it was amazing. We lived in a neighborhood kind of like the Haight in San Francisco. It was what I would call upscale hippy. Barcelona was an amazing place because it is built on two hills and adjoins the sea. It is also the cleanest city I have ever seen. It’s pretty temperate but it snowed for the first time in fifty years and all the kids had never seen it before except in the movies. In the mornings the city would be sleepy and would shine like gold in the rising sun.” Of course, it’s a nice metaphor for the travels tws that await Claire in the future. Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student. If you know someone you’d like to see featured, e-mail leslie@ theweeklysun.com

On Friday, April 1, Company of Fools invites the community to a free party at The Liberty Theatre where it will announce its 16th season! The Company promises that year 16 will be filled with wildly entertaining theatre and inspirational classes. The party begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited and it is free to all! The party will feature a proclamation from the city of Hailey, prizes and foolishly fabulous desserts baked by the Fools’ dynamic core of volunteers.

Addressing the root cause of hunger

Claire Bowman

A word from Claire about her work with Amnesty International “My traveling has shown me firsthand some of the horrors—violence, poverty, oppression— that exist in this world. Amnesty International is my window for action. As a club, and as an organization, Amnesty International makes important information accessible, and it reminds people that other worlds do exist outside of our wonderfully peaceful valley. Amnesty serves as a voice for the people who cannot speak, or are too afraid to; it lights a candle in the darkness. Amnesty International lit a candle in my life, a candle that says I am not alone. This solidarity is the reason I am so proud to be part of Amnesty International. We speak up when others simply don’t care enough to do so. We are an organization that stretches across the world with millions of members. We light candles in darkness; we come together time and time again to bring hope not only to our own lives, but to the lives of those living in darkness.”

There is more to The Hunger Coalition than providing healthy food for the hungry. The Educational Workshop Series started in February is joined this month with a new Client Mentoring Program. Empowerment and education are the focus of both programs—specifically designed to help clients help themselves and address the underlying causes of hunger in Blaine County. The level of need and desperation across Blaine County continues. Recent spikes in attendance at mobile food banks drives this message home. The recent introduction of educational workshops offers additional means of support and opportunity for clients and community members facing financial difficulty. Focused on saving money and improving family health, each monthly workshop is free to the public with upcoming classes featuring home gardens, homemade tortillas and sewing basics. Through increased education about nutrition and budgets, The Hunger Coalition looks to improve the health and well-being of the entire community. Promoting long-term solutions to hunger, the new Client Mentoring Program takes education and empowerment to the next level. Through detailed client surveys, The Hunger Coalition learned many locals in need have strong skill sets and are readily employable, but lack sufficient access to employment opportunities. Only about one-third of those in search of a job looked beyond the local newspaper listings for lack of Internet access and/or sufficient computer knowledge. As job postings increasingly gravitate toward the Internet, many qualified applicants are left out of the running. Through the generosity of community members and tech professional at Ketchum Computers and Maestro Technology Solutions, The Hunger Coalition created a computer workstation area in their warehouse to host the Mentoring Program. Clients are teamed with a volunteer to create resumés, learn how to apply for a job online, write a cover letter, and more. The goal is to increase employment opportunities and assist with their transition out of food insecurity. With some form of income, the entire dynamic changes for the better. Clients require less assistance, enjoy greater self-sufficiency, and become contributing members of our community. While an average of 185 hungry local families are in need of food assistance weekly, efforts at the food bank warehouse in Bellevue are simultaneously focused on helping these families to a place of greater self-sufficiency and financial security.

Old wooden puppet gets modern New musical adaptation of Pinocchio starts at nexStage this Friday

By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he ever-growing nose is still there—and that’s the truth! But Pinocchio is looking a little more robotic-like than wooden. After 128 years, Pinocchio is getting a makeover. nexStage Theatre is remaking the little wooden puppet, conceived by Italian author Carlo Collodi in 1883, into a robotic toy made of cogs, wheels and tin with a golden gear that makes him go. This new musical version of “Pinocchio� opens on Friday with weekend shows through April 10. The play was written for the Northwest Children’s Theatre in Portland, Ore. The nexStage Theatre will be only the second to produce it. The nexStage Theatre presented an adaption of “The Hobbit� last fall that was originally created for Northwest Children’s Theatre. “The Hobbit was geared toward a slightly older age group. This is targeted more toward elementary-school-aged youth, although I’m confident that anyone of any age will enjoy it,� said Patsy Wygle, one of several adults who will be featured in the production. In Nilo Mowery’s adaptation of “Pinocchio,� Geppetto is a toymaker who creates Pinocchio and Crick, a somewhat flawed windup toy patterned after Jiminy Cricket. The two toys set out for a day of trouble but find themselves chasing after the evil

What: Pinocchio When: April 1-10; 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays Where: nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum Tickets: $20 for adults and $10 for students, available at the theatre or by calling 208-726-9124.

Catjack and Foxtrot after the two thieves steal the gear that makes Pinocchio go. Along the way, Pinocchio— played by 10-year-old Natalie McStay, a student at Bellevue Elementary School—is imprisoned for foolishness, turned into a mechanical donkey and, ultimately, flies to a zeppelin airship—this play’s substitute for a whale. The set will feature a steampunk spin with wind-up toys, robotic donkeys, gears, flywheels and zeppelins. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and 1990s. Based on 19th-century early-industrial Britain where steam power is widely used, it dotes on fictional technology such as dirigibles and H.G. Wells’ time machine. “In the play, Geppetto is coming out of the Dark Ages and inventing new things—some of which work and some which don’t,� said Jamey Reynolds, who plays the Puppet Master. “But the new version is faithful to the original story in that it deals with themes like honesty, learning from your mistakes and the idea that if we believe enough, it becomes real, and that

Patsy Wygle, who plays a judge in “Pinocchio,� churns the machine that turns toys like Pinocchio into donkeys. PHOTOS: KAREN BOSSICK/TWS

against all odds we must keep on believing.� “The play still examines what it takes to be a real human being. It doesn’t change the story. It just casts it in a new world,� added Director Bruce Hostetler. Music composed by Rodolfo Ortega includes the song, “Make a Copy,� which sports clever references to modern-day technology for today’s tech-savvy kids. It also includes a heartwarming ballad that will be sung by Patty Parsons-Tewson. “The music is incredible. It’s just about as good as any musical I know of,� said Hostetler.

Catjack (Keith Moore), Pinocchio (Natalie McStay) and Crick (Brooke Sundholm) take on a steampunk look in the nexStage Theatre’s modern-day adaptation of the familiar children’s moral play.

“The songs tell the story.� Craig Everhart, who has been helping Reynolds with the set, said he likes the new version of “Pinocchio.� “It’s like going from ‘Terminator 1’ to ‘Terminator II.’ It’s like when Johnny Depp remade ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.’ It’s so much better than the original.� In addition to Natalie McStay, the youth cast features Max

Albright, Samantha Black, Sam Brown, Samantha Brunkner, Emmett Fortuin, Tatum Fuller, Karsyn Geringer, Taylor Lanane, Blake Nelson, Nick Smith, Lauren Sunday, Brooke Sundholm, Remy Vernoy and Jamie Wygle. The adult cast includes Dean Cerutti, Keith Moore, Doug Neff, Patty Parsons-Tewson, Jamey Reynolds, Levie Smith and Patsy Wygle. tws

s powder hounds tackled the snow-laden slopes of Baldy Sunday morning, many of the best female Nordic racers from around the world tackled the hilly Lake Creek Cross Country Ski Trails for bragging rights as the nation’s 2011 30-kilometer champion. At first, Sun Valley’s Morgan Arritola looked as if she might take her home course. But America’s top Nordic female skier Kikkan Randall, who has been having a terrific year, began to assert herself on the third lap. And only Maria Graeffnings from the University of Utah could respond to her break. Jessie Diggins held off a hardcharging Arritola, claiming the third spot on the podium. Arritola took fourth with a time of 1 hour and 32 minutes—less than a minute behind Randall. Nicole DeYong finished ninth (1:37:10.7); Alexa Turzian 15th (1:42:06.9) and Annie Pokorny 16th (1:42:22.5). Meanwhile, U.s. Ski Team member Kris Freeman won his 14th national title at the men’s 50K Classical National Championship held on those same trails on Saturday. He finished in 2 hours and 37 minutes and 5 seconds, edging out Kevin Sandau of the Alberta World Cup Academy who finished 10 seconds behind. The big story, according to Karoline Droege, was Yuma Yoshida of Japan who was seeded 31st but finished on the podium after crossing the finish line 22 seconds behind Freeman. Former Sun Valley resident Lars Flora, meanwhile, finished the season as the GrandU. S. National Distance Champion, expanding his lead on the overall USSA SuperTour over second-place Sun Valley Olympic Development Team skier Mike Sinnott. Sinnott still has a chance at the top, however, as he finishes out the week.

Podium winners for the Women’s 30 K were Kikkan Randall (first), Maria Graeffnings (second) and Jessie Diggins (third). Local, Moragan Arritola, took fourth with a time of 1 hour and 32 minutes.

On the podium for the Men’s 50 K race were Kris Freeman (first), Kevin Sandau (second) and Yuma Yoshida of Japan (third).

Spectators can get in on the excitement of the 2011 USSA National Championships and SuperTour Finals each day at 9 a.m. through Saturday. Today the Men’s 15 K and the women’s 10 K with a mass start at Lake Creek. Thursday is a training day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be sprints at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Friday at Lake Creek. And on Saturday, North America’s best 150 Nordic skiers

will compete for prize money and guaranteed World Cup starts for the 2012 season in the SuperTour Nor-Am Nordic Hill Climb. Skiers will race from Dollar Mountain Lodge that day to the top of Elkhorn in a race expected to last from 9 to 11 a.m. An event-ending party open to the public will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday at Whiskey Jacques in Ketchum.

Sax Quartet is exquisite By KAREN BOSSICK

W

ould it be stretching it to say the Italian Saxophone Quartet blew away its audience at the Church of the Big Wood Saturday night? Exquisite notes. Brilliant fingerwork. And timing so seamless it was difficult to separate the Four Saxes. “This guy’s only been playing with them 20 years—he’s the newcomer to the bunch,� piped up Brooke Leiphart, as he pointed one of the musicians during a Meet the Artists reception following the Sun Valley Artist Series concert. “That’s why all these guys are so good—they’ve been together nearly 30 years.� Many of the pieces they played were written for the harpsichord or for violins way before Adolphe Sax had even invented the instrument named after him in 1841. The quartet shifted gears through a variety of music that ranged from music you might expect to hear in a cartoon to music befitting a solemn church organ. They screamed through Michael Nyman’s “Tony’s Song� and sounded like melodic lilting birds trying to coax spring out of a soft snowy night on another.

And, even though they didn’t appear to be particularly fluent in English, they knew how to elicit some chuckles with their showmanship. At one point Massimo Mazzoni showed the audience the enormous amount of sound that could come out of a baritone sax—with an Italian accent. And Marco Gerboni showed the audience how to make a kissing noise with his Alto Sax. “I played the sax but I never sounded like that,� said Bill Carson. Ginna Lagergren said she liked the quartet’s mellow demeanor contrasted with the harsher more jazzy saxophone playing she is accustomed to. “Wasn’t this a treat?� marveled Mary Jane Griffith. tws

Save the Date: Dog Days Benefit

The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley’s annual gala fundraising event will take place on Friday, July 15, 2011, at the Trail Creek Pavilion in Sun Valley. The event will feature emcee David Frei of the Westminster Dog Show, and fabulous live and silent auction items, including the signature art for the event by Debbie Edgers Sturges. There will also be the annual raffle of a $10,000 gift certificate to Atkinsons’ Markets, the Birdhouse Festival and more! Now in its 29th year of operation, the Animal Shelter continues to promote companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless pets, adopting them to qualified homes, and reducing animal abuse, neglect, and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. The summer benefit plays a tremendous role in helping the shelter provide vital services to over 1500 animals per year. To sponsor the event or donate an auction item, call (208) 7884351. More information is also available at www.animalshelterwrv.org.

Animal Shelter purchases 17 acres

The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley has purchased 17 acres from the federal Bureau of Land Management in Vorberg Gulch, directly west of the current shelter location on Croy Creek Road. After 29 years of operation in the current building, the shelter is overdue for additional space and improved facilities, said Jan Main, president of the board of directors. Without expanding and upgrading the building, the non-profit organization, the first “no-kill shelter” in Idaho, could be forced to decrease its level of service to the community, Main said. Executive Director Jo-Anne Dixon said, “Our goal will be to create a healthy and efficient building for the temporary care and housing of animals…and more.” Suggestions may be sent to Development & Communications Director Brooke Bonner at brooke@animalshelterwrv.org.

Burke talks on Sudan struggles for doctors By KAREN BOSSICK

W

hen Dr. Thomas Burke arrived in South Sudan he found medical students drawing biochemistry problems in the dirt with a stick. The 200 students at Southern Sudan’s only medical school had no classroom, just six books and one teacher who worked four hours a week. Their other teaching materials had been lost in the post-war rubble of two bloody civil wars that displaced or killed 2 million people in Sudan over a 40-year period. Most of the students were malnourished yet they were the nation’s only hope for doctors in a country with fewer than 50 licensed doctors. Burke founded the South Sudan Medical Education Collaborative to train doctors and health care workers. And he will give a free presentation about healing Southern Sudan at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, at The Community library. Burke, chief of the Division of Global Health and Human Rights in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, has been working to reduce the maternal and child mortality rates in Sudan, which boasts one of the worst mortality rates in the world. One in six women in Sudan dies from pregnancy-related causes. One in four children dies before the age of five. And about 95 percent of the deaths are preventable. Photojournalist Karen Day met Burke through Ketchum resident Peggy Goldwyn, who works with United Nations Population Fund. “Dr. Burke is a relentless altruist who works non-stop in the third world. What has impressed

“Dr. Burke is a relentless altruist who works non-stop in the third world. In southern Sudan, for instance, he and another doctor invented a reusable intrauterine balloon device that helps a woman stop bleeding post-partum.”

o you want something that seems to be reserved for those who belong to certain clubs and cultures to which you do not belong? As Jupiter in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra, the yearning of such a dynamic will be intensified to the point that it becomes uncomfortable not to take action on your own behalf. The Aries sun and the Capricorn moon at the top of the week will favor the relentlessly productive. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll stay positive this week and create fantastic luck. When you notice that your mind is going in a direction that is not helpful, happy or productive, you will have the self-discipline to stop the thought process. Picturing a stop sign will help. Also, keep an alternative thought handy -- something you love to visualize. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are highly organized and have fantastic ideas for the future. Get ready for an array of outcomes. You won’t experience many of the scenarios for which you are prepared, but that is not the point. You’ll feel confident knowing that you have thought ahead and made the best possible plan. GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Note that just because someone is very intelligent doesn’t mean he or she will make good choices. Stay on top of your team. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re sometimes too modest or too focused on current work to take the time to talk yourself up. Don’t skip this crucial step. Publicity will be the key to future successes. Talk about what you’ll do, what you’re doing and what you’ve done. If you don’t, no one will know and you’ll miss out on a prime opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are those who don’t treat you in the manner you prefer. By the end of the week, you’ll figure out how to command the kind of attention you deserve. Get in touch with what makes you feel respected. This will allow you to ask specifically for what you need from others. You will gain influence and dignity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a solid performer. That doesn’t mean you haven’t made mistakes -- you have. But you’ve used them to learn and improve. When life shakes you off your game, you take a moment to recover and then get right back into it. Because you are so consistent, you will be

You’ll study the manner of dress and communication, as well as the hierarchy of power and the unspoken rules. Your observations are so thorough that you will be able to enter this “tribe” and behave as a native. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be energized by the spirit of independence. The projects you can manage with very little supervision will be of particular interest to you. There will also be an opportunity to travel and explore. The excitement and newness of a scene makes your experience memorable. Take pictures. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll attract wealth this year and spread it around. There’s a shift in your social life in April, and you’ll be spending more time with a special individual and creating many happy life events together. April expands your thinking through education, both formal and informal. You’ll gain inside information in May that helps your career. Longstanding family matters are happily resolved in June.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your powers of imagination are strong this week. Take advantage of this surge of visionary talent by picturing your relationships in their most idealized form. The more vividly detailed your flights of fancy are the more likely they will be to come true. Dreaming gives you new direction and purpose. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Do what makes you happy, and you just might find that you still accomplish your goals -- and with a big smile on your face the whole time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have a stellar sense of humor. Consider that there are times when it is better to laugh inwardly instead of out loud. Such occasions arise this week, especially Monday and Tuesday, when you will be around those who take a situation more literally and seriously than you would. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

he rube gets schooled. That seems to be the basic set p for the sweet and endearing new comedy, Cedar Rapids. The film is a true, small, independent project that tugs at the heartstrings more than creates belly laughs. But it is funny in its own way as well as having its share of crude humor. The story revolves around an insurance salesman from the small town of Brown Valley, Wis., played beautifully by Ed Helms of The Daily Show and The Hangover. Helms is a real small-town guy who has never left home or even been on an airplane. That is all about to change when his boss sends him to a trade show in the big and scary city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He leaves behind his seventh-grade teacher, now his lover, played beautifully by Sigourney Weaver (in this age

of endemic plastic surgery, her natural beauty is radiant). He also leaves behind his innocence. Reminiscent of the 40 Year Old Virgin, Helms is enticed by the three buddies he meets at the convention into more than a little debauchery. Chief among them is a scene-stealing John C. Reilly who plays a middle-aged frat boy and the life of the party. Helms also hooks up with the saucy Anne Heche in a wonderful performance (it makes you think of the kind of career she might have had if she hadn’t derailed it with an insane personal life). Trying to win the coveted Double Diamond Award, Helms has to compromise his integrity in a big way. But with the help of his new friends, he wins it back in a touching conclusion. The film is directed admirably by Miquel Arteta, who handles his actors expertly and is adept with the sweet touches of the movie. Also standout is the art direction that beautifully captures the nuances of a cheesy hotel in the Midwest. For Helms’ character, the hotel is nirvana as, in the end, he both finds himself and becomes the hero he always dreamed he’d be. tws

Can anyone use my old glasses? E

stimates by Unite for Sight say that 4 million pairs of eyeglasses enter North American landfills yearly. Compare that number to the more than 1 billion people in developing countries who need but cannot afford eyeglasses. Decent vision makes all the difference in getting an education or earning a living. Your old pairs of glasses and sunglasses could make a big difference in someone else’s life. A number of Valley businesses collect discarded glasses, which are forwarded to organizations that connect the glasses to people in need. Sun Valley Eyeworks in Ketchum gathers glasses for Doctors Without Borders, primarily for distribution in Mexico. The Lions Club sponsors a similar program

in developing countries. Local drop-offs for the Lions Club are the Eye Centers in Ketchum and Hailey, or Sears Optical in the Magic Valley Mall in Twin Falls. Mail-in options to other medical missions can be easily found online. All these organizations can use prescription or reading glasses and sunglasses, in any frames, and are in particular need of kids’ sizes. Among the four Rs—Recycle, Rethink, Repurpose and Reuse—Reusing while helping a less fortunate neighbor has to be the highest (Re)purpose!

iitiver, bergamot, ylang ylang. These exotic names for essential oils transport the mind all on their own. Mix them with jojoba oil or aloe vera lotion and you have a multifaceted skin treatment, says Alison Ballentine, local founder of Sun Valley Remedies. The company offers a line of organic lotions and moisturizing oils targeted for specific client needs. After suffering for years with eczema — and allergies to over-the-counter and doctorprescribed treatments — Alison started concocting her own solution to her problem. It was imperative. A professional massage therapist, she was literally upto-her-elbows every day in oils and creams – and rashes. “Here I am working on clients all day with a visible eczema condition,” she laughs. “It wasn’t pretty. I had to do something!” Voila! Another unsuspecting entrepreneur is born out of the desire to find a solution to a persistent, and annoying, problem. Alison’s search led her to create a line of handmade, 100% organic aromatherapy skin–care products that work as daily allover body moisturizers as well as the primary product for massage therapists.

AquAbility swim program By KAREN BOSSICK

F Sun Valley’s new signs advising would-be out-of-bound skiers of the avalanche risk got a workout this past week, what with the never-ending snow. Sun Valley Ski Patrol Snow Safety Director Rich Bingham said they’re still a work in progress. “Any skier or boarder who rides to the top of Baldy is going to have to see them.” Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/TWS

snow sense

SPRING SKIIN’ By KAREN BOSSICK

S

un Valley seems to want to reassert its rightful image as Sun Valley after two weeks as Snow Valley. But the weatherman insists the snow isn’t ready to leave altogether. Monday and Tuesday brought mid-winter conditions to both Baldy and the Nordic trails. Upper and Middle Picabo Street is covered better than it ever is, with soft, billowy powder bumps and not a single rock or blade of grass in sight. Even the Lower Bowls heading into Cold Springs were skiing good this past weekend. Even the Ski Patrol shack at the top of College was buried in snow over the weekend as Baldy racked up 219 inches on the year—one inch shy of its 220inch average. The Big Wood Basin exceeded 100 percent of average after being just 75 percent of average three weeks ago. Contrary to the rumors flying around the mountain, Seattle Ridge and the Bowls will not close this weekend. They are scheduled to close at the end of the day on Sunday, April 10. Dollar Mountain will close, however, at the end of this Sunday — but not before a busy fun-filled weekend. North America’s best 150 Nordic skiers will compete for prize money and guaranteed World Cup starts for the 2012 season in the SuperTour Nor-Am Nordic Hill Climb—a new race format-- from Dollar Mountain Lodge to the top of Elkhorn between 9 and 11 a.m. Saturday. And at 11 a.m. that day Dollar Mountain will host the Sun Valley Kids Cross Race for youth 15 and younger on the Half Dollar Cross Course. Competition will be geared toward 4 to 7, 8 to 11 and 12 to 15-year-olds with registration from 9 to 10 a.m. Come Sunday the Sun Valley Ski Patrol will host the second annual Cold Bowl Pond Skim at 11 a.m. The competition is free with a lift ticket. Registration will be from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded. Music and a barbecue will begin at 11 a.m. Idaho high school students can ski or ride Sun Valley for only $25 a day through the remainder of the season by pre-

senting a current high school ID at any ticket window. College students can still avail themselves of the $299 six-pack special—giving them six opportunities to ride all that incredible snow out there through April 24. And late season rates kicked in Monday with $57 lift tickets for adults and $35 for children on Baldy. Off the slopes… Last Monday’s two-foot snow dump had scarcely settled before workers began blowing the snow off a couple greens near the Sun Valley Club. Then it snowed again covering up all their efforts. The Sun Valley Nordic Center looks as if it’s smack dab in the middle of January it’s so well-covered, with mid-winter skiing conditions in the morning and slightly sticky conditions in the afternoon. Elevator and part of the Proctor Loop have been closed due to avalanche danger. And Titus and Cherry loops at Galena Lodge have also been closed for the same reason. The Rec District finally groomed the bike path between East Fork and Fox Acres on Monday after two weeks off—unfortunately, not in time for the Staycation skiers in the south valley to enjoy it during Spring Break. The Harriman Trail snowcat has been languishing in bed with a bad case of mechanical difficulties, keeping it from grooming that trail. Galena Lodge will close for the season on Sunday — but not until after the 10th Annual Ride, Stride and Glide Winter Triathlon. Fun-lovers are invited to dress in costume, ride their bike on Jenny’s Way, run on Gladiator loop and skate ski on Gladiator, Westernhome, Horsecreek and Psycho. The event can done solo or as a two- or three-person team. Cost is $30 for a team and $15 for a solo participant and includes lunch and discounted beer and wine. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.; the race, at 9:30 a.m. Don’t forget to check out the National Championship Cross-Country Races at Lake Creek trails a few miles north of Ketchum. Races begin at 9 a.m. each morning through Friday. tws

irst, there was Sun Valley Adaptive Sports, which was formed to offer ski instruction to those who couldn’t ski in the ordinary fashion. Wood River Abilities Program followed, offering instruction for wounded veterans, as well as elite Nordic skiers training for the Paralympics. Now, the Sun Valley area is about to get one more organization working with disabled individuals and veterans. AquAbility, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to providing therapeutic recreation through swimming. “I don’t think there are many programs like this, although there are disabled swimmers everywhere. For many disabled people, swimming is the only activity they can do without any kind of assistance. This is a priceless freedom,” said AquAbility founder Karen Morrison. Morrison is a personal trainer and former team physician for the Minnesota Vikings and Timberwolves. She has coached state champion boys and girls high school swim teams in Arizona and the Sun Valley 5B swim team. She is currently master’s swim coach at Zenergy. She also was the 1999 U.S. Master Senior National champion in swimming and a high school and collegiate All-American swimmer at the University of Wisconsin. She began working with physically challenged swimmers in Sun Valley in 1997, teaching swimming to a little boy with a brain tumor. Since then, she has worked with swimmers who have Parkinson’s disease, brain injuries and paralysis — among them, Amanda Walton and Jet Turner. Walton, a 31-year-old Ketchum resident, won three gold medals at the 2010 U.S. Paralympics Spring Can-Am Swimming Championships in San Antonio, Texas, in only her second year of swimming. She was an All-American field hockey and lacrosse player at Yale University when she suffered a traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident in 2000. Now she swims with one arm. “With coaching, I have been taught to swim just like an ablebodied person but with only one arm. And this feels truly amazing,” she said. Turner, who works for Power Engineers, has used crutches since an accident more than 30 years ago. A recumbent bicyclist, cross-country skier and paraglid-

er, he just got back into swimming this year with Morrison’s help and swam in his first swim meet in March in Boise, even doing flip turns. “The buoyancy that water allows gives me a sense of having more mobility and being liberated from everyday gravity,” he said. “Swimming has become a newfound freedom and gives me a cardio workout that I have been unable to obtain from any other activity.” AquAbility could provide cross-training for Paralympic and other athletes. And Morrison would like to bring in veterans who have suffered disabilities in combat. Some of those with disabilities throughout the nation already train with able-bodied swimmers, Morrison said. But it’s often best to introduce them to swimming in a more sheltered setting, as swimmers with disabilities often have different spatial needs and need

more room. “You can’t swim four to five people in the same lane as you do with able-bodied swimmers,” Morrison said. “And it takes more brain energy when you’re trying to get your body to do something different. But it’s worth the extra effort. Swimming can be so good for the muscles. And it changes the brain-muscle connection.” tws

Who AquAbility Will Help

AquAbility will be available to people of all ages who are challenged by a variety of permanent physical restrictions, including paralysis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, visual or auditory impairment, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, amputations, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries. Zenergy at Thunder Spring is sponsoring AquAbility with a practice facility. Two one-hour sessions per week will be offered. Recommended dues will be established with scholarship opportunities. For more information, call Karen Morrison at 208-720-6362.

Freestyle, from page 1 landed a job with the Sun Valley Ski Patrol during Christmas Break 1964. He skied Exhibition as many as four times a day that winter — a winter so snowy that patrollers had to tunnel into the ski patrol hut at the top of College. A photographer for Warren Miller noted him hopping over the bumps on Exhibition and Limelight and Bauman ended up skiing for a dozen Warren Miller films, as well as some K2 films like “The Performers.” “I used to live to jump—I loved the feeling of freedom,” said Bauman. “Ski resorts would get a thousand people out to watch racers like Billy Kidd compete in a professional race and they’d get 5,000 come out to see us.” The five Performers served as forerunners for the first Hot Dog freestyle contest in Aspen—a contest Stein Ericksen won. McWilliams took part in one Sun Valley hosted later. It was his first and last. “I had a perfect run down Exhibition. I didn’t fall. And the guy who won fell two turns out of the start, then he fell the rest of the way down Exhibition and won it. I said, ‘I come from racing and that’s not how we do it,’” he recalled. Two years after they made The Performers, Stelling hosted a bunch of “hot doggers and show-offs” at his house for a week as they wrote rules for a new PSIA Pro Freestyle Association. Ironically, the association folded in the United States in 1976 after a spate of injuries, while continuing in Canada. The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association eventually took over freestyle, recreating it to start with younger skiers and boarders. “They made it more accepted and respected. It’s no longer a rebel sport—it’s mainstream,” said Stelling. “It’s much more businesslike, too—a little too structured for me. But the more controlled environment is better for athletes. And now they’re doing quadruple flips, quadruple twists—things we never dreamed of.” tws

The K2-Barrymore Freedogger Party will begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Whiskey Jacques. Admission is $10 and will include two raffle tickets for K2 prizes, including skis, snowboard, helmets, poles and apparel. Women can compete in the T-shirt contest and men in the Cheeseburger Eating Contest—the registration deadline being today. 1970s attire is encouraged with prizes offered for best costumes. The Whiskeys party will be followed by an Apples’ Apres Ski Party at 3 p.m. Friday with a live band and the Hot-Doggers hot dog tent.

Freestylers spawn T-shirt contest; at it again Thursday By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he same freewheeling spirit that gave rise to freestyle skiing in Sun Valley also gave rise to the world’s first wet T-shirt contest in Sun Valley’s Boiler Room. It all started with a box of T-shirts that K2 gave The Performers to hand out. It was Airline Week in Sun Valley—the week when airline pilots and flight attendants come to Sun Valley to ski, party and compete in fun races. “The pilots were racing and the gals wanted a contest but they didn’t want to race so we were trying to figure out what to do and someone brought in this big box of T-shirts. We thought, Why not have a T-shirt contest and award a pair of skis to the woman who looked best in a T-shirt,” recalled Pat Bauman, one of five skiers who starred in Dick Barrymore’s movie “The Performers.” Inspired by a few beers, the guys came up with a “degree-ofdifficulty” scoring system that was multiplied by 1.5 for women wearing a wet T-shirt with a bra on and 2.0 for a woman wearing a wet T-shirt with no bra. Sun Valley Owner Bill Janss, filmmaker Warren Miller and

Freestyle Skier Bobby Burns were among the original judges. Dick Barrymore recounts in his book “Breaking Even” that the United Airlines pilots flew in a stripper for the contest who took off her first coat revealing a wet T-shirt wrapped around her wrist. But “The Performers” skier Charlie McWilliams doesn’t remember it quite that way. “Ours was the tamest of all the wet T-shirt contests that followed,” he said. Bauman said that the contest did get a little wild, however: “We had 13 contestants and I think we gave out 13 pair of skis.” Wet-T-shirt contest snowballed just like freeskiing, with plenty of exposed skin on display at the so-called National Competition in Aspen, Bauman said. They also ended up being K2’s biggest and most controversial promotions. “They called it male chauvinism,” recalled “The Performers” Jim Stelling. At any rate, Bauman, Stelling and McWilliams get a do-over Thursday night when they will be among a panel of judges judging the T-shirt contest at Whiskey Jacques. The party starts at tws 7:30. Admission is $10.

briefs Fast and Female X-Country SkiFest soon Fast and Female will be hosting its third X-Country SkiFest of the year on American snow on Sunday, April 3 in Ketchum. Following two successful events held earlier this year in Maine and Alaska, Fast and Female will be hosting close to 100 female skiers from the ages of 7 to 19 years old at the Lake Hut Creek for a half day of inspiration with U.S. Olympic cross-country skiing superstars Kikkan Randall, Morgan Arritola and Liz Stephen. As part of the unique event, Fast and Female event participants will have the chance to get first-hand ski tips from some of the world’s best cross-country ski racers, enjoy a healthy lunch and an inspirational speech, and conclude the day with a yoga session. The purpose of each

event segment is to inspire girls to stay involved in sports as a tremendous vehicle for reaching one’s personal and athletic best. “We are thrilled to host a Fast and Female Skifest in Sun Valley,” said Ashley McQueen from the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. “This is a great opportunity to expose our up-and -oming young female skiers to the talent, motivation and experience that Kikkan, Liz, Morgan and the other ambassadors bring to crosscountry skiing.” The registration fee for the youth event is $15 and includes a Fast and Female T-shirt, a Buff, a lunch, and access to all activities. Financial assistance is available for participants in need. Please contact info@fastandfemale.com to inquire.

eing an orthopedic surgeon is being a teacher, an educator. I’d like to take this opportunity to share a little bit of what’s going on in the field of “orthobiologics,� something akin to when Dustin Hoffman said “plastics� at the end of the movie classic, “The Graduate.� Let’s start with platelet-rich plasma, or PRP. PRP is blood plasma enriched with platelets. Platelets are a part of your normal blood that contains different growth factors, cytokines, tissue growth and healing factors that can stimulate healing of bone and soft tissue. The good news is that each of us has a plentiful supply of platelets; the body makes millions of them every day. To harness the power of PRP, a sample of blood is taken from the patient’s arm, placed into special media, and with a centrifuge (not the same ones used for nuclear reactors) and in less than 15 minutes, the platelets can be removed with the plasma—PRP—a simple office procedure. The process is safe and we are on the cusp of having hundreds of applications for clinical use. PRP technology is in its infancy and is a promising but not proven treatment for tendon, ligament, joint and muscle injuries/pain. PRP can help in the treatment of tendonopathy of the Achilles and elbow, and is even being used in the shoulder and knee. It can help in situations where the body’s healing process is “stalled� and can help the body “get back on track.� A non-operative treatment for osteoarthritis, another hotbed

of future orthobiologic treatment, is viscosupplementation. The medication, which is a recreation of the fluid found in a healthy 20-year-old’s knee, is injected into the painful knee. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial (joint) fluid and acts as a lubricant to enable bones to move smoothly over each other and acts as a shock absorber for joint loads. A treatment is three injections seven to 14 days apart with the goal of alleviating some of the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) or post-traumatic arthritis (PTA). It is effective twothirds of the time and seems to work better when the arthritis is not extreme. Pain relief can last anywhere from six to 12 months and the course of treatment can be repeated. Interestingly, the initial products were synthesized from the comb of the rooster (the red thing that hangs down). Now we are able to synthesize pure hyaluronic acid and other viscosupplements biologically in the laboratory much to Colonel Sanders’ chagrin. When viscosupplementation is no longer cutting the mustard (apologies for the Colonel references for you Clue fans), resurfacing arthroplasty might just be the answer for the younger crowd with arthritis. If you suffered an injury in your teens or 20s, were a ski racer, or are just having toe, knee or shoulder pain that won’t quit, you may be a candidate for a resurfacing. Resurfacing is less than a total joint replacement (TKR). It removes less bone, is minimally invasive, and leaves your options open. New advances

allow patients to return to highlevel activity when previously the entire joint would have had to be replaced. Another option, without burning bridges. Computer assistance in surgery is also progressing in joint replacement surgery. A custom set of instruments can be made for your surgery that reduce operative time and allow for enhanced precision based on preoperative imaging (CAT scan). There are many opportunities for orthopedic surgeons to “sharpen our knivesâ€? these days and deliver the ultimate in quality care using new technologies. There are many new orthopedic products in the pipeline, options that enable me, as an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, to be better equipped to take care of you. Whether you’re a Gen-Xer, X-Gamer, weekend warrior, mountain biker, flyfisherperson, or team co-ed softball player, the goal is to allow you to play hard and bounce back fast if you happen to ‘crash and burn.’ I’m up to date on the latest and greatest and love to chat on what’s available to help you stay in the game and play hard. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, No wonder my male co-worker can afford a new convertible. He's making $6000 more than I am! Wondering how I know? Some yahoo in HR accidentally emailed a department salary memo to the entire company instead of just to the president. I knew women were underpaid, but this is ridiculous. I'm going job shopping and need to know how a woman can get the big bucks and a new convertible. My only solace is that I'll look better with the top down since I still have all my hair!

• • • Cash: Well, if you're looking for a new job, there may be a new opportunity in your HR department! Carry: You have to love the age of technology. An error like that just didn't happen with paper memos. Cash: As for your salary discrepancies, you are correct in thinking there are differences between men and women. According to the US Census Bureau, women are generally paid about 30% less than men, and that's unfair. Carry: A situation like this happened when I worked for a large

company several years ago. Except our HR "yahoo" emailed the amounts of the manager's Christmas bonuses. It became a merrier Christmas when the company restructured the program to give bonus checks to everyone in the company. Cash: Your company may take action to rectify this new dilemma as well. Before you jump ship, make an appointment to talk with your HR department. Since your salaries are now public knowledge within the company, you can openly discuss the discrepancies. Carry: But be prepared to wait. After this incident, there may be a line at the door. Cash: They may also be shorthanded after firing the "yahoo".

Carry: Before you storm down to HR, ask yourself if there are real reasons for the salary difference. Has your co-worker been there longer? Does he have more job experience? What about education level? Are there any differences besides gender that may contribute to the salary difference? Cash: If gender is the only difference and your company does not rectify the situation, then maybe a new job is in order. For your next interview, do what is recommended for any professional, male of female. Know the salary range of the job you are applying for. With that knowledge, you'll know if you are being offered a reasonable salary.

We all like to ridicule the Mr. Mom image of Dad under piles of laundry, and kids running and screaming around the house. But today, the stay-at-home Dad is more popular than ever before. There are an estimated 2 million children who spend more time with their Dad than any other care provider, including Mom. It's also estimated that there are over 100,000 stay-at-home Dad's who care for the kids while Mom goes to work to pay the bills.

Two Weeks Notice

The average American changes his or her job every three and a half years. Although, the number of years spent at any one company does vary between men and women. Since 1983, the proportion of men who stay at their job for more than ten years has continually declined. Conversely, the number of women who stay on the job for extended periods of time has increased during the same time period. •

Reader Humor Math Wiz

When I was looking for a job, I answered every ad, even ones where I wasn't qualified. So I was surprised when an accounting firm called me for an interview, considering I had no experience as a CPA. The interview went surprisingly well until the gentleman asked me, "What's 12 times 7?" Stunned by such a weird question, I quickly replied, " 82." Later I realized my answer was incorrect and thought the job was lost. However, two weeks later they offered me the position. On my first day, I asked the HR manager, "You realize that my answer was completely wrong." "I know," he laughed, "But out of all the interviews, you were the closest." (Thanks to Lucille P.)

Fast-paced and hands-on, this two-day course covers a wide range of wilderness medicine topics for people who travel in the outdoors. Whether spending time in the backcountry is your passion or your profession, you should never have to ask, “What do I do now?� On this course, you’ll learn how to prepare for the unexpected. The Wilderness Medicine Institute’s curriculum is unique and includes many advanced topics that other programs leave out, such as dislocation reduction, focused spinal assessment, and epinephrine administration. In just two days, you’ll have the knowledge, skills, and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situations. This course is ideal for trip lead-

ers, Search and Rescue members, outdoor enthusiasts, and individuals visiting remote locations. This course may be used to recertify a Wilderness First Responder certification. This WMI course is pre-approved by such organizations as the American Camping Association, the United States Forest Service, and other governmental agencies. The course will be held at Camp Perkins, near Lake Alturas in the Sawtooth Valley, May 21- 22. Registration is now open! Cost for the course is $185. Meals and lodging at Camp Perkins are available for an additional $95, but are not required. Contact Paul Holle at 208-720-8437 or holle. paul@gmail.com for more information or to register.
