This surge compares favorably with previby: JIMA ous months’ Rice, Ph.D. reports. The numbers aren’t big, but they’re in the right direction. An OpEd column in The New York Times further stated, “Employment gains, which had been concentrated in education and health throughout the recession, began to reach new sectors in February, with 13 states seeing increases in manufacturing, 12 experiencing gains in leisure and hospitality, and 12 recording gains in professional and business services.” On hearing the news, I started wracking my brain to figure out how our Valley can

Carly Gustafson S

ometimes an experience can be life-changing for a young person. Sometimes by: JONathan KANE it can have such a profound impact that your whole life’s direction can be changed. Such is the case with Wood River High School senior Carly Gustafson who had the rare opportunity to visit the Middle East last summer and study the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis. “I can tell my whole life story based on this trip,� she said. “The rest of my life will forever be influenced by it.� Born at Moritz Community Hospital in Sun Valley, Gustafson has lived in the same house in Hailey her entire life. She attended Bellevue Elementary, Wood River Middle School and now Wood River High School. She is not a skier or snowboarder, so the winters seem long to her. “But I appreciate how beautiful it is here. I’m also ready to go somewhere else. I’m ready to go to college. I want to be around a broader and different group of people and have broader choices in who I hang out with.� Carly has traveled to New York City a lot because half her family lives in Queens. “I like visiting for short periods, but would never want to live there. The people are so rude. It makes me appreciate the beauty and politeness in this Valley.� She has also traveled extensively to Oregon and Washington and has been to Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., for academic-related reasons. “Washington and Oregon have been positive experiences, with cities I see myself living in. Whenever I come back I feel kind of sheltered here. But I think I’d rather live near a city than in one.� As for college, Carly has applied to Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington, the University of Victoria in British Columbia, and her first choice of Fairhaven College, which is a part of Western Washington University. “There’s only ninety students, no grades and you create your own major. I hope to major in dispute resolutions, faith-based cultures and religions of the Middle East. It’s my hope to work for the State Department on Israeli-Palestinian issues.� Carly’s interest was spurred on by a trip to the region last June as part of the Idaho Human Rights Education Center. “Eighty-eight people applied and you had to write essays and applications and there was an interview process which narrowed it down to eighteen people. The entire trip was paid for by a grant from the State Department. We visited Israel for a week and then

“It’s [the Middle East] also the most beautiful place on earth. The people and the landscapes are breathtaking.� –Carly Gustafson Senior at Wood River High School

Jordan and Palestine for a week and then went to Washington, D.C., for three days. Basically, we went to learn about the region and explore the conflict. What touched me the most was the students our age that we met because we got to experience it from both sides.� Carly went on to say, “The conflict is so complex. It seems that if it were left to women and children, something could be done because they don’t have the same hate in their hearts. Israelis have memories of the Holocaust and Palestinians have memories of being kicked out of their homes. The two sides refuse to compromise because people have so many demands they refuse to give up. Mostly, it’s the governments that are making the problems so hard. The people feel it could be resolved, but the governments won’t let them. It’s really sad because I have so many friends on both sides. It’s also the most beautiful place on earth. The people and the landscapes are breathtaking.� Let’s hope this young woman with a dream can make a difference. twp

Watanabe throws thank you party By KAREN BOSSICK

T

wo-time Olympian Graham Watanabe returns to his hometown this week after claiming the third ring on the podium of the 2009-10 World Cup circuit. And he wants to party. Watanabe will be at The Galleria in Ketchum where Penelope’s CafĂŠ is from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. He’ll sign autographs and raffle off memorabilia from the U.S. Snowboardcross team. “Graham was born and raised in the Valley and he really, really appreciates everyone’s support,â€? said Graham’s father, Scott Watanabe. “He wants to be able to shake everyone’s hand and tell them how much their support has meant to him dating back to when he was a 12-year-old.â€? Watanabe, 27, scored the second fastest qualifying time in men’s snowboardcross at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. And he had a significant lead coming out of the gates in his next race. But he skidded out on a technical section of the course and missed the quarterfinals on a photo finish. Watanabe didn’t let it get

him down, however, coming back to snare a bronze medal in the LG FIS World Cup snowboardcross standings a month later. Watanabe was the top American, finishing behind Pierre Vaultier of France and Australia’s Alex Pullin. Watanabe had several top 10 finishes during the season, including a second place in a snowboardcross at Stoneham, Quebec, Canada. He also captured first place among the hearts of journalists and bloggers for his colorful quotes. Writer Jeremy Taylor called him “our most quotable Olympian� for his description of what it was like to be in the Olympics: “Try to imagine Pegasus mating with a unicorn and the creature that they birth. I somehow tame it and ride it into the sky in the clouds and sunshine and rainbows. That’s what it feels like.� Scott Watanabe, speaking for his son who was heli-boarding in Alaska, said all the attention paid to the solo Olympic race, which is held once every four years, was “funny� to those who follow Graham throughout the World Cup season. “It’s a little disappointing for me that it gets so much

Graham Watanabe buildup when it happens just once every four years when these athletes are racing week in and week out on the World Cup. But it was a tremendous opportunity and wonderful experience for Graham,� said Scott, whose family weathered never-ending buckets of rain to see Graham compete. “I’ve been watching him in World Cups and Europa Cups and South American Cups for years now. And I still have a difficult time watching him compete,� Scott said. “I’d prefer to find out his results afterwards, given the choice.� twp

Pond skimming on Dollar By KAREN BOSSICK

Mother’s Day Special Mo th Day er ’s May is 9 th!

O

ld Bowl on Dollar Mountain was transformed into Cold Bowl Sunday as Sun Valley became the latest ski resort to hop on the pond skimming bandwagon. By nature, pond skimming is supposed to be done when it’s 52 degrees, the sun is scorching a hole in people’s ski pants, the snow is slushy and plenty of PBRs are making the rounds. The weather’s not supposed to be 32 degrees with snow flurries. But that didn’t keep 145 adults and children from testing their ski prowess on water, skimming across a manmade pond the length of an averagesized swimming pool. The water was muddy and gross-looking, thanks to a lining of Visqueen plastic that had likely had mud on it dating back to last fall. But Sun Valley’s Ski Patrol had a life preserver to throw anyone who ended up sinking in its murky depths, which came up to a man’s crotch at its deepest point. Ski patrollers traded ski pants for waders and did in fact jump in to pull out youngsters who didn’t make it across before they started sinking. But that didn’t help a line of photographers who got drenched, thanks to more intrepid pond skimmers hoping to land the biggest splash. Two far smarter youngsters sat way out of reach of the water—atop of a lifeguard chair

Wood is associated with the organ of Liver. The bold nature of Wood energy expands rapidly outward in all directions. It holds the power to create and recreate, to give birth, to renew. As it is in the cycles of nature, so it is in our bodies and minds. As new Spring colors push themselves upward toward us, our eyes—the sense organs associated with Liver—become activated and more clear. Intuition and vision sharpen and we see things in new ways. Appetite for food diminishes and our bodies naturally begin to cleanse themselves. Frustration and anger--the emotions associated with Liver energy---come to the surface, giving us a chance to consciously soften and release them. The Liver controls the nourishment of the ligaments, tendons and the nervous system. This is the time to stretch your body—as well as your mind and spirit. The people of the Wood River Valley exemplify Liver en-

ergy at its best. When balanced and strong, this force drives you to explore the unknown, to travel unmapped roads. It is laser-like, focused and creative. It energizes you to achieve your fitness goals, to meet your deadlines, to visualize a new idea, to find your way out of the woods. It is the pioneer energy---calm, independent, cunning, adaptive and quick to make good decisions. It can transform you from couch potato to marathon runner. Like all natural forces, when out of balance, Liver energy can provoke a myriad of emotional and physical problems. In excess, the natural flow of Liver energy may erupt as anger or irritability. Without a vent for transformation, it may reverse flow and turn against you, causing depression or mood swings. Physically, a blockage or logjam of Liver energy can lead to menstrual cramps, uterine fibroids, infertility, enlarged thyroid or tumors. Tension held in the neck and shoulders is common—as well as headaches that involve the temples, eyes or top of the head. As internal pressure builds, blood pressure may rise. Sometimes Liver energy runs out of steam. Your once focused energy becomes scattered. You feel overwhelmed. Fatigue makes you more nervous than relaxed and you

crave extra caffeine or sugar to bolster your energy. The Liver, according to Chinese medicine, “houses the mind at night.� When depleted, your thoughts continue to float; sleep evades you. Now, as Spring pushes up under our feet again, unbalanced Liver energy becomes more evident; it is also more easily corrected. Moderate your intake of coffee and alcohol. Concentrate less on heavy, greasy, salty foods that keep your energy down and more on simply cooked fresh greens and sprouts. Consume organic foods rich in chlorophyll. Create a personal Spring within. Look for healthy ways to open the valve on the pressure cooker. Move more. Learn a new dance. Hike a new trail. Unclutter a room. Participate in clearing the winter’s trash from neighborhood streets and use it as a metaphor for yourself. Release a grudge on the wings of the next songbird you see. This is the season for rediscovery and rebirth. Time to click your own refresh button, dust off the screen and pay attention to the instructions emerging from the wisdom of your own database.

H

ave you ever woken up and thought to yourself, “Today’s going to be a great day�? That’s how I felt this morning. My friend Clark’s death kind of poked me in the back and nudged me toward doing some things I had been putting off. Yes, today was going to be really something. Fridays are usually a little hectic at school, the kids getting ready for the weekend and all. First period was pretty quiet since they were probably still waking up, but by second period they were wired, whining about weekend homework and cracking jokes. By third period things were just less than chaos that called for some strategy. I started a discussion about a bucket list for the first 25 years of their life. I was pretty surprised by how they dug into the question, and by their thoughtful answers. Mixed in with notes that ranged from going to medical school to climbing the world’s great mountains, one student responded that she wanted to return to Mexico. She felt that was where her roots were

even though she lived with her immediate familyin Idaho. She wanted to meet the culture her ancestors had come from in person, not in books and stories told by people she didn’t know. It seems there’s always a connection to that family tree. Her answer led to a conversation about who might return to Idaho at some point in their lives and who didn’t. I asked them all to write down their answers in a note to themselves, saving it to read in ten or twenty years. I knew lots of notes would end up in the garbage, or getting washed in the pocket of a pair of jeans, or lost in a locker. A few notes might make it to a safe spot in a shoebox and become an important memory. Those surviving notes might even bring a few students to remember Mr. Rudolph and what happened the day they wrote the note. By the end of the day I was really ready for the weekend myself. Heading out to the parking lot, I thought about the drive to Clark’s ranch in Nevada. It was going to be long and boring, but I was looking forward to seeing the group of friends that I invited. I

About the Author

My name is Sheila Detheridge and I live in Shoshone, Idaho with my aunt and two nieces. I don’t write much, but I think if people did, they would find it tells them things about themselves that help them to understand other people. Max is fun to write about because he can do anything and because he’s smart. It’s fun to imagine being him and planning his adventures. Writing this has made me think about returning to school next fall at CSI.

thought about the differences in everyone’s heritage. If you pinned strings from all our hometowns and connected them together at Stanford, then ran them back out to where we were now on the map, it would be a pretty bizarre tangle of lines. Knowing that a spot on a map doesn’t necessarily say much about your heritage, hopes or desires, it seemed like there was something Clark was trying to tell me from the grave. I would try to listen really hard. It would be interesting to see if any of us were anywhere close to where we thought we’d be at this age. twp

tand alone words. But put them together and you’ve got an interesting community within a community across from the airport in Hailey. You may think you know everything important about the Sweetwater development, but I’m betting you don’t. Did you know they are a smart-growth community that received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation in the Neighborhood Development Pilot Program? They are also on track for Silver Certification in the LEED New Construction Program. The LEED program measures items on a list prepared by the U.S. Green Building Council. And Sweetwater is one of their frontrunners in new, neighborhood construction—low-volatile organic compounds (VOC) materials and finishes, careful water use, energy-efficient appliances, recycling program, and lots more. It’s also the first clubhousetype structure in Hailey. It

comes with its own pool, workout area, kitchen and movie theatre with big, cushy, reclining seats. The image is something out of Architectural Digest, and can be scheduled for community events if the calendar permits. Last year, firefighters held a ladder-training event on the three-story buildings, accompanied by a barbecue and fundraiser. This May, there will be a district conference of about 125 Rotary representatives hosted at the clubhouse. There’s a list of other great community events on tap. “We’re all about being inclusive as opposed to exclusive,” remarked Sweetwater Realtor Karen Province. There are currently 49 completed units and 22 shells ready for interior finish, according to Sweetwater Realtor Susan Radford. If you’ve been wondering, are curious, or just plain disinterested about this Woodside block, it might be to your advantage to drop in and have a look. It just might change your mind. twp

If you’ve been thinking about saving some money and increasing your energy efficiency, the outlook has never looked greener. Different energy efficiency rebates are out there now with the State of Idaho kicking off their cash for appliances program since March 25. You can get paid to swap out old, energy-wasting appliances for new Energy Star appliances. The State of Idaho is offering rebates on top of what Idaho Power is already offering. Additionally, Idaho Power also has rebates on Energy Star refrigerators ($50), clothes washers ($30), ceiling fans with lights ($20) and light fixtures ($15) that you can stack together for more savings! Idaho Power might even pay you $30 for the ‘privilege’ to haul your

old working refrigerator away! For example, by swapping out your old energy-wasting refrigerator, you could receive $75 from the State of Idaho, $50 from Idaho Power and another $30 from Idaho Power to haul it away. That’s $155. And that doesn’t even count all the money you’ll save from these super-efficient appliances. Still not sure if converting to Energy Star appliances is worthwhile? On the Energy Star Web site www.energystar. gov/index you can find a host of information and even a Refrigerator Retirement Savings Calculator to help you decide whether to send your old appliance out to pasture.

Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf� will take the stage Oct. 13 through 30. Jana Arnold said she and Scott Creighton lobbied for the play, which won the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play, in part because they are the perfect age for the drama about a couple who expose the secret that holds them together. And while it’s a revealing, engrossing it offers plenty of funny lines that will play to the two actors’ talent for comedy. “Moonlight and Magnolias�—Ron Hutchinson’s rip-roaring farce revolves around a Hollywood producer who locks the “Wizard of Oz� director in a room with a famed screenwriter to fashion a

new screenplay for “Gone With the Wind.� The play, which will run Dec. 14 through 31, is based on a grain of reality said Fools artist Denise Simone. And—get this—the original working title of “Gone with the Wind� really was “Moonlight and Magnolias.� “Don’t worry we’re not doing a new musical version of ‘Gone with the Wind,� said Fools Musical Director R.L. Rowsey, playing off the length of the “Gone with the Wind� movie. “Dead Man’s Cell Phone� by Sarah Ruhl—a Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play “The Clean House�-will be presented Feb. 16 through March 5, 2011. The play is a poetic fantasy about a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically-obsessed world. “It takes this commonplace gadget that most of us have and transforms it into a powerful tool for transformation,� said Glenn. “These are wildly funny, wildly dramatic, wildly fresh and just plain wild shows,� said Simone. “There’s nothing quiet about them. You will laugh loudly and you will gasp.� In addition to the plays R.L. Rowsey and Dennis Rexroad will teach a two-day workshop on musical theatre in July. Rowsey will also teach a Master Class in Voice, Denise Simone will bring back Act II, an acting workshop for adults 55 and over, and numerous actors will teach Creative Jump-In classes during July. twp

ompany of Fools took advantage of a very short window of opportunity. And, as a result, they will be one of only a few theater companies permitted to stage the Broadway smash hit “39 Steps� this summer. The Fools announced the upcoming play during their annual Fools Day party on April Fools Day announcing the Fools’ 15th season lineup. Fools Artist John Glenn told more than a hundred people gathered at The Liberty Theatre that the Fools secured the rights immediately after the play closed on Broadway—right before the producers decided to reopen the show and close off rights. Glenn described the play as a laugh riot suitable for ages 9 through 90, or even 900. “The 39 Steps,� adapted by Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, won two Tony Awards. It revolves around a man who meets a woman who claims to be a spy. When she turns up dead, he finds himself pursued by a mysterious organization on a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a deathdefying finale. A combination of Hitchcock and Monty Python, it’s filled with nonstop laughs, more than 150 zany characters played by a cast of four, an on-stage plane crash, missing fingers and more. Company of Fools will also stage three more plays during its 201011 season:

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, A few weeks ago my friend noticed that her dog Huck just wasn't himself. Not knowing what to do, she took him to the vet. After several rounds of tests, they told her there was nothing wrong. That's when she saw an ad in the newspaper for a pet psychologist. I told her she was wasting her time and money, but she insisted on going. Now she claims that after a few visits, her dog is back to his regular self and happy as ever. She says that Huck was just depressed. I still think that it's HER head that needs to be examined. Have you guys ever even heard of a pet psychologist?

•

Carry: Although you think your

friend is barking up the wrong tree, you may want to give her and Huck the benefit of the doubt. Cash: I'm sure most of us can understand why her dog would be feeling depressed. Imagine if we had to sit home all day and take naps on the sofa just waiting for someone to come home. Carry: Sounds like a good idea to me, but I think my wife would object. Cash: Joking aside, it is possi-

ble for dogs, cats and other domestic animals to suffer from anxiety or depression just like people. However, the "pet psychologist" you are referring to is more commonly known as an animal behaviorist. Carry: Many professional behaviorists work in zoos or in research with museums and universities, while others choose to work with domestic animals. Most have medical degrees as veterinarians with certification requiring two years of residency in animal behavior. Cash: Now it's unlikely your friend's psychologist had the dog lie on a couch and share its feelings about life, although I'm sure the dog would have enjoyed the

comfort. It's more likely he observed the animal and its interactions with the owner. Carry: If he was able to diagnose what was bothering your friend's dog within a few visits, then his recommendations could have made a dramatic improvement in the dog's attitude and behavior. Cash: Even celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Ashley Simpson, Will Smith, and Paris Hilton have used the advice of animal behaviorists to help them socialize their pets with other animals. Carry: Although you may not believe in your friend's choices, you may want to give her a break. Any animal that's always happy to see us deserves the best of care.

Is your family pet ill? In addition to the standard veterinary services available to household pets, some people are using natural healing methods as well. Today, you can find a variety of natural herbs to promote the wellbeing of your pet as well as improve their health and healing. Even massage and acupuncture have proven to be very helpful for specific types of ailments. And for those of you who'd like to be close to your pet, you can always get a massage together!

Acute Senses

As humans, we sometimes forget how special our pet dogs can be. With a heightened sense of smell and hearing, canines contribute in many areas. Most of us have seen dogs used by the police for sniffing drugs or as guiding eyes for the blind. But you may be surprised to learn that some dogs can also alert us to medical conditions. Seizure alert dogs are trained to warn people with epilepsy of an oncoming seizure, sometimes as much as 45 minutes in advance. Any dog that can save a life deserves a good treat. •

Reader Humor Man’s Best Friend

I recently saw a great costume while bartending for an office costume party. One overweight guy showed up dressed as Little Bo Peep. The costume alone was hilarious, but even better was that he brought his dog dressed up as a sheep. I could hardly keep from laughing when he sat down at the bar for a drink, but the lady next to him had a different opinion. Apparently she thought it was cruel to dress up a dog in a costume. "Do you really think it's appropriate to make your dog dress as a sheep?" she questioned. "You bet it is," Bo Peep laughed. "He made me wear this costume!" (Thanks to Brady H.)

add jobs. Here is the question I asked myself: Given that federal dollars are not flowing our way, banks are still clutching their dollars, and investors are on to bigger things than Valley businesses, what can be done to create more jobs? My answers? Existing businesses could pursue expansion by intensifying their customer outreach and by activating employee involvement. Business start-ups might be enabled both through highly-focused local programs and government and community funding. More business means more work means more employees. Intensifying customer outreach. Valley businesses should already have interactive Web sites, social networking links, and detailed customer lists (especially for preferred customers). If not, now is the time to develop them. If so, make sure these resources are being used synergistically. Reinforcing customer relationships when people feel uneasy will be appreciated and potentially yield sales. For help on this, there are Internet tutorials, gobs of Google information, local consultants, and outsourcing resources that can provide the training and/or means to productively reach out to customers, whether located in or out of town. Activating employee involvement. A few Valley business owners have engaged employee talent and motiva-

tion by offering ownership of part or all of their business, using Employee Stock Ownership Plans, profit sharing, equity shares, or partnerships. The full impact of shared ownership does not lie in the financial deal, however, but in actively including employees in substantive decision-making. This means using employee talents and experience to innovate products and services, identify and pursue cost savings, and find ways to improve customer interaction, retention, and satisfaction. Research has shown that businesses with involved employees are more successful than those without, even when financial ownership isn’t part of the deal. Developing start-ups through assistance programs. Many local residents have home-based businesses with potential to become viable employers of a few more residents. Some of these entrepreneurs currently need affordable studio or production workspace, access to a commercial kitchen, storage facilities and/or training in business management. A coordinated effort by the chambers of commerce, governments, Sustain Blaine, Ketchum’s economic development director, and the Ketchum CDC could go a long way to recruit and mobilize these resources. Government and Community Funding. Resources coordinated by government

and economic development groups could be co-funded by them at modest amounts. A particular need for start-ups is financing, often at a microloan level. The Ketchum CDC has a revolving loan fund designed for this purpose and, while it has not yet made a loan, it has a resource that should soon find appropriate investments. Another lending program is SHARE, prototyped by a Massachusetts non-profit. SHARE offers affordable microcredit loans to local businesses vital to a sustainable local economy. These loans are collateralized by an interest-paying bank account funded by residents committed to supporting their enterprising fellow citizens. Efforts in these four areas could lead to increased business sales that might lead an owner to hire another employee and get the HIRE tax write-off recently legislated by Congress. Let’s get to work putting people back to work! twp
