Balderdash Races to Cap Ski Season STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he hiking boots are coming out of the closet. But you’ll want to keep your ski and snowboard boots on for one last gasp—the Balderdash fun races Sunday on Baldy. The Balderdash fun races at 2 p.m. on Lower River Run are among the season-ending events that will take place as part of the Baldy SunFest. Participants will ski or snowboard a slalom course carrying a fire hose as they make their way around the slalom gates. There’ll be a mad foot race in ski and snowboard boots to innertubes. Then one final push to the finish line in the innertubes. Sun Valley is offering buy-oneget-one-free lift tickets on Sunday to make sure everyone can join in the fun. DJ McClain will strike up the music at noon at River Run. Old Death Whisper will move in with live music at 3 p.m. There’ll be “last run� sales at Pete Lane’s and the Brass Ranch. And there’ll be live music at Warm Springs Lodge, as well. Wear your best costume—there’ll be a costume contest! And leave your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at home. Who wants a PB&J when they’re grilling hamburgers outside?! Skiing has been excellent this past week, with ample snow on both the River Run and Warm Springs sides of the mountain. And Baldy groomers have been re-grooming the lower parts of the mountain each morning, bestowing them with soft corduroy as soon as the lifts crank up. Meanwhile, the Sun Valley Ski Patrol has been dropping the ropes on the Bowls the second the corn snow softens, allowing rides back to the top via the Mayday chair even though Seattle Ridge is closed for the season. Farther north, the Blaine County Recreation District continues to groom a few trails each day, snow conditions permitting, for at least another week. Like skiing corn snow? You might want to ski behind the SNRA past Camp Sawooth to the backside of Durrance Mountain to see the massive avalanche debris snaking its way down the slopes. tws

I

should have known better than to ask if the birdwatching trip was being cancelled due to a spring snow squall. Apparently, birdwatchers do not hunker down, even if birds do. That’s how I ended donning my ski parka, ski pants and snow boots to head down the highway away from Sun Valley Ski Resort instead of toward it. Our destination, as is often the case on birdwatching trips originating in the Wood River Valley, was Silver Creek. But first we pointed our rigs north of Hailey’s Main Street for some urban birdwatching. We hadn’t gone two blocks before Jean Seymour stopped her black SUV with the “Bird On� license plate, and excited jabbering ensued. Nils Ribi trained his 400-power camera lens on a merlin a small falcon with a blue cape despite big fat snowflakes rushing at him. “Holy cow! That’s a life bird for Lisa,� remarked Poo Wright-Pulliam, nodding toward Lisa Huttinger, the Environmental Resource Center staffer who had organized the trip. “Good start,� she added, describing how the bird used to be known as the “pigeon hawk.� Excited over that find, the caravan of birdwatchers began proceeding even more slowly down one street and up another. Seymour flashed her left signal, alerting the two cars behind her to look to the left. She flashed her right signal when someone in her car spotted a bird on the right.

Birds have been slow coming to the feeder this year, Wright-Pulliam said, because the lack of snow has endowed them with an abundance of food in the wilds. In addition, Texas tornados and other southern storms have slowed migratory birds’ trip north. Still, after 30 minutes, I began wondering if we’d ever leave Hailey, what with the juncos, red-winged blackbirds and Bohemian waxwings we were spotting. “I see red-winged blackbirds up behind the SNRA headquarters by Valentine’s Day. I thought they would be down here before that,� said Ann Christensen. Christensen pulled her coat around her as the snow fell harder. “You know, the chickadees fluff up their feathers like down sleeping bags in weather like this. The feathers hold the air and the air holds the body heat.� Wright-Pulliam spotted two Eurasian collared doves sitting together in a spruce tree. “Fifteen years ago one was spotted in eastern Idaho and everyone flocked to see it because it was so rare. Now they’re everywhere you go,� she noted. Eventually, we made our way down Gannett Road, turning onto a soppy, mud-covered road that would take us to Highway 75. These were serious birders, I thought, as I watched brown mud splatter Seymour’s spotless SUV. Muddy as it was, the road turned out to be a bonanza for the birdwatchers, starting with a prairie falcon sitting on a fencepost munching away on an afternoon

snack. “We’re hoping for a gyrfalcon today,� said Wright-Pulliam. “It would be a lifer for Jane.� We found that gyrfalcon in the next half-hour, along with a northern harrier sitting on a fencepost preening itself and a killdeer standing on one leg in a pond. We saw a red-tailed hawk with its distinctive bellyband, and a Swainson’s hawk, which we were told is not as skittish as a red-tail. We had just started up again when Jean stopped her car. “We heard an owl in that tree,� she pointed, as we zeroed in on two greathorned owls—one sitting on a nest. “Bird on,� said Ribi, as we got back in the car. Coming to the highway, we stopped once again to check out a bald eagle nest near the Loving Creek Ranch. A great blue heron took off in flight while a merganser and kingfisher dove into shallow water. “Must be good fishing around here,� Christensen said. At long last, we arrived at Silver Creek where we proceeded to watch swans that looked as if they were doing a ballet as they sailed along the creek. The trumpeter swan used to be found across North America, said Wright-Pulliam. Now it’s just in a few places, including Idaho and Wyoming: “They’re trying to reintroduce it in other areas to spread

Easter Sunday, Home Cooking BY BALI SZABO

W

hat a way to wake up— hung over! The previous night, Saturday, Boston College won the NCAA hockey final, beating the perfect Cinderella, Ferris State, 4-1. It was really a 2-1 game that featured great goaltending throughout. I may live here, but I still root for New England teams—and Boise State. Easter Sunday morning featured Serena Williams’ methodical straight set destruction of Czech Lucie Sararova in the final of the Family Circle tournament. She only dropped three games in the last two rounds. She looks ready for the French Open at Roland Garros, also played on clay. This would normally just be a tuneup, but it has always had a place in the history of women’s golf. This year was the 40th anniversary of the birth of women’s professional golf, and Family Circle signed on as the second major sponsor (along with Virginia Slims) in 1973. Billy Jean King’s dream took its first baby steps, and the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) has been with us ever since. That era spawned two Kings, and two dreams—M.L. King’s and Billy Jeans’. She said something interesting: “We’ve come a long way, yet we’ve got a long way to go. I think with every generation you only take one step forward.� In what can only be termed perfect irony, there was the final round of a golf tournament, the Masters, at Augusta, Ga. The issue of allowing women as members resurfaced. Martha Burke of NOW was on TV again. Virginia ‘Ginny’ Rometty is IBM’s president and CEO, and IBM is one of the three major sponsors of the tournament, along with AT&T and EXXON. The CEOs of these sponsors, always men in the past, are granted automatic membership. Not this time. Politics aside, there was a golf tournament being played. I had just tuned in on the Par 5 second hole. Luis Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champ, was lining up his second shot, 265 yards from the pin. The shot landed

at the top of the green, just a couple of feet from the guardian bunker, and from over 30 feet away began its roll downhill toward the pin. It just kept rolling, heading right for the hole, which we all knew it couldn’t hit, could it? Could it? It rolled into the cup, good for a double eagle 2, the first such in the Masters since the legendary Gene Sarazen did it in 1935. Further, the shot vaulted Oosthuizen into the lead at 10 under, one shot up on the Swede, Peter Hansen. On the Par 3 sixth hole, Phil Mickelson self-destructed with a triple bogey, his second (also very rare), to drop five shots off the pace. Tiger Woods made the cut, but ceased to be a factor by Friday afternoon. He finished at 5 over, his worst Masters showing ever. After last week’s win, the fawning media was quick to crown him invincible. Co-favorite Rory McIlroy also finished 5 over. The back nine of Augusta is the most famous back nine in golf. The lead stayed with Oosthuizen. His six challengers were all within one, two, three shots, but could get no closer. Finally, hometown favorite and former Georgia Bulldog Bubba Watson pulled into a tie with a string of birdies. After regulation, both had shot a 68 and were at -10 under. Phil Mickelson, to his credit, survived his triple bogey and stayed in the hunt, a coulda, shoulda. Good steady golf ruled the back nine, and we had a sudden-death playoff. First, the 18th was replayed, and both golfers barely missed birdie putts. One lipped to the left, the other to the right. It was on to the Par 4 10th. Two terrible tee shots into the trees, and Bubba looked to have the worst of it. A lefty, he had a small chance to hit the shot through a hole in the overhead canopy. Miraculously, his shot cleared the trees and landed within 12 feet of the pin. Luis had an easier shot, but landed it about 20 feet from the pin. Bubba made his par, while Oosthuizen had to two putt for a bogey. Home cooking did it again, and another new Watson wore the Green Jacket. tws

ost Americans consider April 16 the day following the deadline for filing taxes their emancipation day. African-Americans consider it Emancipation Day—a legal holiday in Washington, D.C., to mark the anniversary of the day Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act freeing 3,000 slaves in the nation’s Capitol. Patty Parsons-Tewson and her Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus will bring that home this weekend when they present “Souled Out—An Emancipation Celebration.” The free concert will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. And it will feaature Yves Evans, the Sun Valley Jazz Festival’s popular Queen of Soul. While the concert is free, a patron party will begin at 5:30 p.m. It costs $10 and will feature lots of good food and a chance to meet with Yves Evans and the other performers. Doors will open for the concert at 6:30 p.m. Evans and the 35 singers will shine the spotlight on black history in story and song. Among the songs they’ll sing: “Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning,” “Heal the World,” “Just a Closer Walk With Thee,” “A Better Day is Coming,” “Sit Down” and “O Happy Day.” “The concert will be a combination of slave songs and brotherhood songs that have to

do with freedom,” Tewson said. Tewson, who directed “The Promise” at Christmas for 22 years, founded the Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus last year after singing with the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival Gospel Choir in Alaska under the direction of Harlem’s Bobby Lewis. The choir has performed standing-room-only Vanilla Soul Christmas concerts and a spring concert featuring some soul-stirring R&B and gospel, a uniquely American music created out of the American experience. “These songs, which the black people used to sing in the cotton fields, are so raw in emotion. Out of dysfunction and mistreatment came this whole culture and we need to keep it alive. “The music fills me up. It’s all about sickness to healing, despair to hope, pain to ecstasy, hate to love, bondage to freedom. My soul cries for this. And maybe others can find some healing in our songs,” said Tewson. Over the past year, Tewson has done an amazing job of whipping some soul into her all-white choir. The Fairbanks choir, by contrast, had 25 African-American singers in a choir of a hundred. “Yves knows we’re just a bunch of white kids trying to do African-American music,” Tewson said. “She adds a touch of authenticity with a voice that’s so velvet and warm.” Tewson, like so many Sun Valley-area residents, first became acquainted with Evans at the Sun Valley Jazz Festival where

f you asked 2000 people how to spend money, you’d probably get 2000 different answers. Opinions become even more divided when lives are affected by how you spend it. That’s why United Way asked its Community Investment Team of volunteers to analyze the best way to spend the investment of hundreds of donors in its annual campaign. The 11-member panel comprised of community volunteers spent more than 45 hours over a three-day period on this process. Volunteers weighed the impact made by each of the agency programs against the requests made by those organizations, the pool of available funds, and overall community needs. The end result was that $102,300 was distributed to 31 organizations and programs that will have a direct impact on the lives of over 39,000 south central Idaho residents.

In Blaine County, it was the first year that the Blaine County Education Center ($1000), Sawtooth Interpretive Center ($500), Sun Valley Adaptive Sports ($2000) and Blaine County’s Senior Connection ($2000) received funds, while The Advocates of Hailey received support ($2400) for the second year. “This is not an easy process, and nothing was automatic as it pertained to past recipients,” said Bill Knopp, executive director of United Way of South Central Idaho. “Each program was evaluated on its individual merits by the volunteer team, and there was a lot of debate on each program’s effectiveness and impact in the community.” United Way of South Central Idaho currently serves over 175,000 citizens in the counties of Blaine, Camas, Custer, Gooding, Lincoln, Twin Falls, Butte, Cassia, Elmore, Jerome, Minidoka, and Jackpot, Nevada. tws

Evans has been a mainstay nearly as long as the festival. “Yves used to come up on stage when we did The Taffetas—the female counterpart of ‘Forever Plaid.’ And it was hysterical because she certainly didn’t fit in with a bunch of prom girls,” Tewson recalled. “But we had the best time.” Tewson said gospel songs, such as “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” often contained double meanings and symbols designed to help black fugitives know where to cross a river or the time a boat was scheduled to arrive as they fled to freedom. She likes the feeling of inclusiveness found in gospel music. “When singing about heaven, for instance, they sang about

The City of Ketchum’s Ketchum Arts Commission (KAC) invites artists to apply for a public art project for vinyl images of original art to be applied (wrapped) on selected utility boxes located throughout the city. The intention of the project is to use utility boxes as canvases to further enliven the city with art. The Utility Box Art Project intends to create vitality throughout the City of Ketchum by transforming infrastructure elements into engaging works of art. For this first year’s project, the KAC has chosen four locations for eight

utility boxes of various sizes and configurations. Images may be single or multiple depending on the concept. Each location will be produced by a single artist. Artwork should cover all exposed sides and the top of the box. The selection process is two steps – a Request for Qualifications, due May 4, 2012, with selected artists submitting proposals later.

briefs Students Make Goal, will Head to India Seven Wood River Valley high school juniors have raised the $30,000-plus they needed to embark on a humanitarian mission to India. The youngsters—part of a Compassionate Young Leaders Program— raised the money by soliciting donations and staging music, yoga and dinner events. Their journey will lead them to Ladakh, India, from June 28 through July 20 where they plan to work with abused, orphan and refugee high school students in the town of Leh, setting up a multimedia and computer

lab where the students can learn language skills. The students are Keah Jones, Lex Shapiro, Brenden Finnerty, Colby Werley, Dani Theobald, Lena Roebuck, and Will Ashfield. Glen Shapiro, the father of one of the girls, said the youngsters raised the money they needed a day before the deadline. Ryan Redman, who is spearheading the effort, informed the kids of their success on April Fools’ Day with the teaser, “I’m sorry to say you didn’t make it—April Fools!�

Hard Work Does Pay Off STORY & PHOTO BY JONATHAN KANE

G

us Kimball, Wood River High School junior, is a very impressive young man. Carrying a 3.93 grade point average and an insane workload, this self-described nerd who moved to the Wood River Valley about two years ago is also president-elect for the senior year. He has also been wait-listed as a junior for both Harvard and Dartmouth based largely on the voluminous amount of Advanced Placement classes that he carries both in class and on his own by getting textbooks on Amazon. “I’m just fascinated by the world,� Kimball said. “Learning is my passion and I have a real thirst for it.� Kimball’s family left Arizona to move to the Valley “because we had been here a bunch and it’s just the way things shook out. I really love it here and especially because we have seasons. In Arizona, there is just one season and you never see snow. All the fishing, hiking and biking here is tremendous. There’s just so much to do. It’s also a lot different because I went to two high schools my freshman year. I went from a school of 300 to one of 3000; it was like a small college and we had to run to class. Wood River, at 900 [students], is a great size and will help make the transition to college easier. People have negative stuff to say about it, but I guess I’m still in the honeymoon stage where everything is good. The high school is just part of this larger community where everyone knows what’s going on.� Wood River has also allowed

Kimball to challenge himself in ways that were unexpected. This includes taking twelve A.P. courses in just his sophomore and junior years. “I get to do a lot on my own here, and things that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. The teachers and counselors at the school couldn’t be better. We have a magnet community here that attracts top people. We have teachers with doctorates and others with backgrounds in the petrol industry. It’s an unusual group and everyone wants to help each other, especially kids with talent. Everyone knows everyone so we’re all pulling in the same direction.� This year Kimball has applied to college. “I didn’t want to be the kid that graduated early, but I’ve run out of classes to take. If I stay, I’ll be taking art classes and electives, so I want to move on.� Last year, as a sophomore, Kimball completed A.P. U.S. history, language and composition, comparative government and human geography. This year it’s physics, calculus BC, statistics, biology, economics, art history, environmental science and psychology. It’s a mouthful, just to say it. He also has time to be an integral part of the debate team and to carry a full schedule on top of this. “People ask me, how can you do this? But time is relative and we all have 24 hours.� And, Kimball says with a laugh, “I’m the class president, remember.� As to be wait-listed at Harvard—“I think being a junior is going against me. Graduating early was not part of my plan but it’s been a great journey. My plan is to major in business because it pro-

vides an umbrella for so many different things. Everything is business in a way and with it as a background you can pursue so many different things. My three favorite A.P. classes have been literature, U.S. history and comparative government and, in general, I’m interested in all the sciences and in international politics.� Kimball also has a newfound love for debate, which he has taken up this year. He will be attending Nationals in Indianapolis this June. “What I love is that, honestly, it’s the only socially acceptable form of mental domination. Of course, you always take the other person’s feelings into account, but it’s still your ideas pitted against each other.� For this honor student, you wouldn’t want it any other tws way.

Heart of the Valley Winners BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s only fitting that a photograph of a dog would win first place in a photo contest in dog-happy Sun Valley. Beverley Robertson took first place in the Adult-Non-Professional Photography portion of the Wood River Land Trust’s 8th Annual Heart of the Valley contest for her picture of a young Lab bounding down the cross-country ski trails, its body language oozing with the joy at being out and about. Her “Dog in Perpetual Motion� fit this year’s contest theme, “Valley in Motion.� Dozens of people turned out Thursday night for the awards reception at the Sun Valley/ Ketchum Chamber & Visitors Bureau. The contest photographs will be on display at KB’s Burritos through April. You can also see the entries at www. heartofthevalley.net Other winners: Glen Shapiro’s “Brown Drake No. 1� received Honorable Mention in Adult Non-Professional Photography; and Kathi Wagner’s “Snowshoe Out Goodale Cutoff� took Staff Favorite.

Dust Storm has Silver Lining BY KAREN BOSSICK

t turns out that last week’s dust storm, which prompted mega-lines at area car washes, had a silver lining after all. The dust that dirtied Sun Valley’s ski slopes colored the slopes, making it much easier to see the snow when the light was flat. And, yes, the fall leaves that

folks are having to rake up this spring because they didn’t fall until after the first snow, have a plus side, too. At least one Elkhorn resident says the leaves have covered the path her poodle has cut into the yard. And that means the dog isn’t tracking mud into the house as the snowmelt muddies the yard. tws

COUNT ON IT

Wood River Valley birdwatchers will fan out to count birds on June 3. They counted 124 species last year. Local birders are holding their count three weeks later than International Migratory Bird Day on May 12. “We tried holding it on the same day, but we’re so far behind that we moved it to see more birds,” said Poo Wright-Pulliam. Last year, bird enthusiasts pledged a certain amount of money for each species birders saw. Birders will send donations they collect that day to the Idaho Bird Observatory in Boise. To learn more about participating in person or by donation or even how to be a virtual birder, go to www.birdday.org and click on walkathon and upcoming events. Look for “Idaho’s walk on the wild side big day.”

mountains north of Ketchum. “Patti had nightmares after that,” he said. The snow had stopped and the weather had begun clearing by the time we headed home. And I went home with a new revelation: Birds do indeed seem to hunker down in bad weather. But birders don’t. And the combination of those two facts makes for some dandy birdwatching. tws

it out.” She paused, counting the birds we’d seen so far: “We’re up to 34,” she announced. Seymour recounted how she was first introduced to birding in 1993 but got serious about it only 10 years ago. “I was down in the Thousand Springs area [near Hagerman] and I saw this bird sweeping its bill from side to side through the water looking for insects. I sat down and figured out it was an American avocet. It felt so good I had figured it out myself. Since, I’ve gone birdwatching in Arizona, Texas, Costa Rica, Washington… and I joke that I’m going to have to move to see some new birds.” Jay Carlisle, research director for the Idaho Bird Observatory in Boise, interrupted Seymour’s tale. “There’s a goshawk flying to the right, real low,” he said. “See how long the tail is? Whoa! The raven is going to get it! Goshawks are cool because they act like fighter jets.” Ribi recalled how his wife was knocked to the ground by a goshawk when they unknowingly trespassed on its territory in the

“Sometimes I get really bored and when I do I go on a bike ride looking for adventure. I like adventures and, as Milo goes around the world, it gets so exciting, especially where he ends up saving two princesses.” “It’s a lot of fun because it’s full of adventure,” added Nick Smith, a student at The Sage School who also plays Milo. “I like how creative it is—he’s one place, then he’s another place. He’s everywhere.” This is the third in the series of Theater for Young Audiences productions that the nexStage Theatre has staged. The previous two were “The Hobbit” and “Pinocchio.” As such, it has adults performing with kids—a mix that Wygle says is good for both. “Normally, I don’t do a play with dogs or children because they outshine me,” quipped Gorby. “This has both, but at least I get to play the dog.” tws

magine being able to drive through a magical tollbooth into a new world—a magical world where words have been transformed into characters and nearly every sentence resembles a pun. That’s the gist of Norman Juster’s classic tale, “The Phantom Tollbooth.” The nexStage Theatre will bring Susan Nanus’ adaptation of the book to the theatre in Ketchum Thursday through Sunday. The show starts at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with 3 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday. The play follows a spoiled little boy named Milo who has all the toys a little boy could ever want but treats them with disdain, professing to be totally bored. “It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time. There’s nothing for me to do, nowhere I’d care to go and hardly anything worth seeing,” he says. One day, however, Milo discovers a tollbooth in his room,

and likes to discuss things like Infinity. The two are feuding with one another, having banished Rhyme and Reason for suggesting that letters and numbers are equally important. “The Phantom Tollbooth,” published in 1961 and illustrated by Jules Feiffer, has been compared to such stories as “Alice in Wonderland.” Director Patsy Wygle said she received “The Phantom Tollbooth” as a birthday present when she was a child. She has reread it every 10 years since. “I marvel at how creative it is,” she said. “A lot of it is about time—use it or lose it.” “I loved it. I cried when it ended I loved it so much. It’s such an amazing journey and you get so involved in it,” added Sunday, who read it in fourth grade. The show appeals to adults as well as children. I hadn’t read it as a child but when Patsy handed it to me this year I got four pages in and said, ‘We have to do this,’” said Keith Moore, who plays the Mathemagician of Digitopolis. Company of Fools designer Joe Lavigne designed the set, which features a map that pops up as Milo drives through the Mountains of Ignorance, a Sea of Knowledge, the Doldrums and the Island of Conclusions. Alison Higdon did the artwork, Jamey Reynolds built the set and K.O. Ogilvie made a puppet for the play. Blake Nelson, a Hailey Elementary School student who shares the role of Milo with Sage School student Nick Smith, said he can identify with Milo.

along with a map of “The Lands Beyond.” He pays the toll and he and his toy car drive into a magical Kingdom of Wisdom, a place where what you know matters more than having a magical wand at your disposal. There he picks up a watchdog named Tock with a giant alarm clock and the ever-grumpy Humbug. And he encounters a variety of intriguing characters, such as the Wordsnatcher, who takes the words right out of your mouth; the Senses Taker, who insists on asking trivial questions; the 12-faced Dodecahedron; and Whether Man. “In my case, it’s more important to know whether there will be weather than what the weather will be,” said Community School freshman Lauren Sunday, who plays the Whether Man. Milo also encounters King Azaz the Unabridged, the ruler of Dictionopolis, where guests literally eat their words at kingdom banquets. And he meets the mathemagician of Digitopolis, who serves up subtraction stew

Slip Slidin’ Away BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7 FM

B

onnie Raitt, queen of the blues slide guitar, is back with a new album and a new label. Her brand-new release, Slipstream, is on her own Redwing Records and it’s chock-full of amazing songs written by Bob Dylan, Gerry Rafferty, Paul Brady and Randall Bramblett, among others. There is a certain ease that emanates from Raitt’s interpretation of the songs; maybe it’s just the comfort level she’s achieved at this level of her career. Maybe it’s the familiarity she has with the players she’s chosen for the album: guitarist Al Anderson, formerly of NRBQ, one of the greatest party bands of all time; Bill Frisell, one of America’s eminent jazz guitarists; Jay Bellerose, who’s played drums with guitar wizard Duke Levine and singer Paula Cole; and session-meister James “Hutch� Hutchinson, who has filled the bottom line on bass for Bonnie over the years. With a lineup like that and a list of songs written by some of the preeminent songwriters of our day, you can’t really go wrong; and Slipstream delivers. Raitt’s slide guitar has never sounded smoother, and her interpretations of the songs are relaxed, but never bland. Joe Henry’s production has pushed her to experiment; her reggaefied version of Rafferty’s “Right Down The Line� puts an edge on the song that I would have never imagined; it actually took me a minute before I even recognized it. Bonnie Raitt never disappoints. Slipstream will have you drifting on the currents of song.

ometimes the word bad can mean good. Sometimes it can mean bad and sometimes it can mean plain bad to the bone. The new insipid romantic comedy Friends with Kids is not only bad to the bone, it is so aggressively bad that the end result is a little shocking. Even the title seeks to titillate, being a play on the expression ‘friends with benefits.’ The only benefit you could get in relation to this film would be to skip it altogether. Much of the blame can be placed at the feet of the film’s lead actor/writer/director and producer, Jennifer Westfeldt (anyone hear of a vanity project?). It’s tough to fail miserably in all four functions but she sure gives it a run for the money. Previously she had written and starred in the chick flick Kissing Jessica Stein, but that movie had

cute babes swapping spit so how hard was it for women to drag their male significant others to it. How Westfeldt got the financing for this mess is a mystery but the bigger mystery is how you can make yourself the center of a film and to be so completely un-charismatic? Minutes turn into days watching her emote and hold center stage with the weak screenplay she had penned. The story is a basic mishmash of Woody Allen and New York sitcoms like Friends, focusing in on three couples two married and one inseparably best friends and, as they constantly remind us, with no intention of hooking up. In our cloying and irritating introduction to them, Westfeldt and Adam Scott are in bed with lovers while they endlessly chat on the phone with each other. I guess it’s cute. Witness to the problems that children have caused in their friends’ relationships, they decide to have one themselves, only to do it on their own separate terms. I bet you can’t guess what happens to their incredible relationship once the kid arrives. Why give it away? You’d have to see this slop to believe it. tws

briefs The Center’s Summer Concert Lineup The Sun Valley Center for the Arts Summer Concert Series fills your summer with music. This year, the community favorites concerts feature Johnny Clegg and Ladysmith Black Mambazo on Monday, August 6, at River Run Lodge, Pink Martini on Monday, August 13 at River Run, and a return engagement by Bonnie Raitt, with special guest Mavis Staples on Thursday, August 30 at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Tickets range in price from $30 to $95. Series ticket purchasers will save 10 percent off the total ticket price. Members have the first opportunity to buy series tickets, starting April 13, then members will be able to purchase individual tickets starting April 20. Sales open to the general public on April 27. Kicking off the series are South African superstars Johnny Clegg and

Ladysmith Black Mambazo – touring together for the first time ever. Both are pioneers in bringing a Zulu beat to western audiences. The American band Pink Martini likes to mix it up—a bit of Brazilian samba, some 1930’s-style French jazz, maybe a little Sixties-era lounge music. Finally, The Center is thrilled to welcome back Bonnie Raitt, whose soldout 2006 concert had people buzzing for months. Raitt, released her 19th album, Slipstream, this spring. She’ll be joined by special guest the legendary Mavis Staples, one of the greatest gospel/R&B singers of all time. Seating is limited—buy early to avoid disappointment. Visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-726-9491, ext. 10 to purchase tickets. They can also be purchased at The Center in Ketchum during business hours.

Janss Race Goes Down Vintage Lane STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

J

Clockwise from ABOVE • Monopoly girl Jane Reynolds Eagan dances it up at Whiskey’s with her Vintage Games teammate Karen Holzman who showed up as a Candyland board. • Liz Brown, aka Marilyn Monroe, yaks it up with The Duke as played by Glenn Thomas. • Liz Taylor, aka Joy Kasputys, shows off eight rings—one for each husband • (AS SEEN ON COVER) Claire Holzman showed up as a Rubik’s Cube—a mascot for the Vintage Games team.

ane Reynolds-Eagan sashayed into the collection of skiers and pronounced, “Let the games begin!” Easy for her to say. The Janss Pro-Am Classic racer was decked out as a Monopoly game while her husband Tim Eagan resembled Rich Uncle Pennybags. And her fellow racers—Karen Holzman, Kim Taylor, Bedford Nabors, Sam Busby and Langely McNeal—were decked out as Ms. Candyland, the Electric Utility in Monopoly, a monkey in a box, Mr. Potato Head and the game of Twister in honor of this year’s vintage theme. “Dressing up as games brought us back to the fun we had as children. We thought they were something everyone could relate to—and kids can still relate to them today,” said Jane Reynolds-Eagan. “And of course the cause—it just gets better each year.” One hundred and 80 racers on 30 teams took their turn in the fun and games that makes up the three-day Janss event, racing around gates and dancing through the decades with High Street. It was the second largest Janss ever, according to Kate

Berman, who orchestrated what she and others call “the best weekend on snow.” It was all part of an effort to raise money for tuition and travel scholarships, continuing education for coaches, the facilities, vans and transportation and radios and other equipment for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. The Janss Pro-Am Classic, founded in 1997, commemorates the memory of Bill Janss, who owned Sun Valley Company from 1964 to 1977. A former ski racer himself, Janss championed Sun Valley’s junior racing program, which has grown from three coaches and 35 athletes in 1966 to what is now one of the oldest, largest winter youth sports programs in the country with more than 80 coaches and 500 athletes. “Bill Janss loved snow. He loved skiing. He loved competition. And he loved costumes,” Ski Education Foundation Director Don Wiseman said as he exhorted the racers to follow Janss’ example. Former U.S. Ski Team Coach Michel Rudigoz served up pate hors d’oeuvres that resembled Spam squares with tiny pickles on them in keeping with the vintage theme of this year’s race at the Opening Pro Party at the Christiania’s Olympic Bar. The party moved to Whiskey Jacques’ on Friday with the Ketchum Grill, Sushi on Second, Despo’s, Atkinsons’, American Harvest Organic Spirit and others kicking in appetizers and beverages. Marilyn Monroe, brought back to life by Liz Brown, did the twist, along with Liz Taylor (Joy Kasputys), who was showing off eight rings for each of her husbands; the Duke, played by Glenn Thomas; Errol Flynn, played by Rufus Brown; Bette Davis, played by Janet Appleton; and Clark Gable, played by Will Hovey. “With the wind on the ski hill, I didn’t need to stand over a subway grate to make my skirt bellow,” quipped Brown, referring to an iconic Marilyn Monroe picture. The Gender Benders, comprised of Vicki Wiseman, Carol Mutzel, Sage Rheinschild, Karoline Droege, Priscilla Woods, Muffy Ritz and others, showed up as Iditarod racer Susan Butcher, pilot Amelia Earhart, jockey Julie Krone, soccer player Brandy Chastain, race car driver Danica Patrick and others. Women who win trophies don’t need to be trophies, they pointed out. And the Honeymooners, comprised of Tom West, Julie Daniels-West, Alison Orr, Chris Orr, Lily Fitzgerald and Bob

LaPoint, picked their name on a lark after one of the couples was married on 11/11/11. Both pros and junior pros looked sharp whipping around the slalom gates. And amateur racers added pizzazz with “Jockey” Carol Mutzel racing in a stuffed horse’s body and nine-year-old Buey Grossman conquering the course on wooden vintage long boards in keeping with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s team dubbed “Total Recall” of Vintage Skiing. “It was really cool getting to meet all the pros,” said Junior Pro Yuri McClure. “I’ve looked up to some of these guys a long time.” Jason Lynch concurred, saying it was “so cool” to listen to a guy like pro Scott Macartney talk about racing the famed Hannenkahm at Kitzbuehel, Austria, where skiers accelerate to 60 miles per hour in six seconds and then hang on as their skis chatter 90 miles per hour down one of the world’s most intimidating courses. “You have to charge. You have to attack it. If you think you’re not in a very good position to handle it, you won’t,” said Macartney, a two-time Olympian who had World Cup podiums in Garmisch, Germany, and Val Gardena, Italy. “And that’s what I told my team when we went out to race today. Attack the course.” Liz and Rufus Brown started off the Awards Celebration Dinner Saturday night in the Limelight Room in grand fashion with the announcement that they were donating a quarter-million dollars to the Ski Education Foundation to be paid over the next 10 years for the Foundation’s endowment fund. “This is the past, present and future—let’s keep it going,” said Rufus Brown. The donation spurred several $10,000 and $5,000 gifts, and a number of $500 gifts, including three $500 gifts from Sun Valley Ski Patrollers Mike Lloyd, Carl Rixon, Sr., and Mike Davis. Longtime Ski Coach Doran Key said the weekend brought new revelations for her. “I was blown away watching the junior pros race,” she said. “This is a generation of kids that is hard- working and passionate about skiing. I’m seeing U.S. Ski Team for some of these kids.” tws

Two Smart Steps for a Healthy, Vibrant Spring BY JODY STANISLAW, N.D.

T

he snow is melting and the tulips will soon be showing their colors… sure signs that spring has sprung! The warmer temperatures have an energizing effect on us all. However, in order to enjoy all the hiking, biking, and recreating that your heart desires, you’ll want to take certain steps to ensure your health and energy levels are at their best. Spring is the perfect time to do some cleaning, and not just inside your house, but inside your body as well. Not only will you have more energy, but if you suffer from allergies, doing a cleanse can dramatically reduce your symptoms. Here are my two top tips for ensuring your health is at its best this spring: 1. Do A Cleanse. You can’t see them, but toxins are ubiquitous in today’s world and thus accumulate inside your body as well. Be they in the water, the sky or the land, toxins are there. They aren’t just outside, either. Inside your home they are found in cleaners; vapors leaching from chemicals such as fire retardants in furniture and carpets; and the fragrances and chemicals used in shampoos, toothpaste, and laundry soap. Additionally, unless you are eating organic foods, you’re regularly ingesting large amounts of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Sixty million pounds of pesticides are applied to U.S. crops annually! Your liver plays a key role in detoxification. Anything that overtaxes your liver increases the toxin buildup in your body. In the case of alcohol, drinking over two drinks a day for men or one a day for women has been shown to cause excess liver stress. Doing a simple 10-day, foodbased cleanse will give you increased energy, clearer thinking, better moods, and improved quality of sleep. I recommend doing a ten-day, food-based cleanse, not a juice cleanse, for several reasons. First of all, the fiber you take in from eating vegetables is one of the greatest substances for binding and releasing toxins, not to mention for also keeping the bowels moving (thus allow-

ing the toxins to be released in the first place). Secondly, it is important to keep your blood sugar balanced, which is often not achieved with juice-only cleanses. Thirdly, just as it takes a lot of energy to clean out your garage, your body requires a lot of energy to clear out toxins; thus, keeping your calorie intake up is important. Lastly, doing a cleanse that lasts 10 days allows your body to undergo very thorough cleaning, which cannot be achieved to the same degree with one lasting only a few days. But, most importantly, you will likely feel better than ever after doing it! 2. Prepare your body with the right foods and nutrients to fend off spring allergies. The first step in reducing springtime allergies is to avoid the following list of items which will make your symptoms worse: sugary foods, lack of fresh fruits and vegetables, not enough sleep, not enough/too much exercise, poor emotional health, processed foods, alcohol, and dehydration. Additionally, a diet high in dairy and/or wheat can increase phlegm production which can also worsen your symptoms. The next step is to ensure your diet is full of nutrients specific to keeping your immune system from overreacting to spring pollens; specifically, spinach, kale, green/red peppers, carrots, cabbage, apples, oranges, cranberries, almonds, seeds, ginger, and wild salmon. Lastly, start on a supplement program that includes key vitamins, minerals, oils, probiotics, and herbs designed to optimize your immune system and thus eliminate your symptoms. My patients experience great relief from following my simple supplement recommendations. Enjoy a healthy, energized and vibrant spring! To learn more send an email to DrJody@ DrJodyND.com tws

What to Do With Those Leftover Eggs? BY MARGOT VAN HORN

N

ow that Easter has come and gone, what to do with all of those hardboiled eggs? Well, here’s some good info to be had about Easter hard-boiled eggs and a wonderful recipe as well. This casserole’s basic recipe features 18 eggs so, as you can imagine, it will feed quite a few people. It’s nice to serve at a brunch party; and you can easily divide the basic recipe in amounts for however many portions you wish to serve. For myself, instead of using one baking dish, I make a couple of ramekins of this recipe. For just several guests, I serve the ramekins with an artichoke to share or asparagus or a green salad along with some fresh fruit and, of course, a lovely glass of fruity white wine. They are also nice to have with a crispy (baked in a 350-degree oven) corn tortilla. Bacon and Hard-Boiled Egg Casserole Basic recipe will serve 18 (OMG this is DELICIOUS!!!!) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Non-stick spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or the ramekins. (This dish can be made as an overnight dish in the frige and baked the next day; however, I prefer the total dish consistency better if made the same day). INGREDIENTS • 18 hard-boiled refrigerated eggs • 1/2 pint sour cream • 1 lb. bacon • 1 ½ C. grated cheddar cheese • 3 Tbsp. butter • 3 Tbsp. flour • 2 C. milk • Salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS If you need to hard boil eggs, one of the easiest ways to do that is to put cold eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; add enough cold tap water to come at least one inch over the eggs; cover and quickly bring to a hard boil; turn off heat and keep eggs covered for 15-20 minutes; then immediately run cold water over eggs and refrigerate in a dry container. To test if the egg is done, twirl it around on the countertop

and if it spins freely, it’s done. Make a white sauce from the butter, flour and milk. (In a small saucepan, over mediumlow heat, melt the butter until the foam begins to subside; turn heat to low and, with a wire whisk, stir in the flour for about 1-2 minutes. Keeping the heat low, stir in the milk, a little bit at a time, still using the whisk until the mixture is nice and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t let it get brown, otherwise you will have brown sauce. You can keep the sauce warm over gently simmering water for an hour or so, stirring occasionally.) Fry the bacon and crumble. From the hard-boiled eggs, remove the yolks and mix the yolks with the sour cream and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and salt and pepper. Slice the egg whites and line the bottom of the dish with them. Pour the yolk mixture over the egg whites. Pour the white sauce over all. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and place the crumbled bacon as your last topping. Bake 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated 350-degree oven. For variations, I have used yogurt (instead of the sour cream), sometimes plain or sometimes mixed with a little prepared horseradish or a good kind of mustard; and for toppings you can substitute for the bacon bits some chopped ham or chipped beef. I haven’t tried it with a different kind of sauce; however, I suppose instead of white sauce you could use a hollandaise or another of your favorites. It’s a fun dish to use your imagination. If you decide to use the ramekins, you only need to bake them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes on top of a cookie sheet. Thank you Dianne, friend and VSI past guest, for the basic and inspiration. tws

epal was a lot to take in, especially since we had little else to do but look. With our logistical and material needs taken care of by the porters and the sherpas, we were to follow our inclinations. (The sherpas made sure the sheep didn’t wander.) A long on-foot trip through the heart of a country involves cultural interaction. While we never saw any foreigners in this remote area (only a handful of visitors have ever moved through the valleys east of Sun Kosi Bazaar), there were locals on the trails heading for festivals and going to markets, and there were lots of towns and villages. Foot trails are still the highways of Central Asia. A lot of local commerce arrives the way it did in the days of the Silk Road, which spanned the first half of the previous millennia. Everyone knew we were coming. Word travelled fast. We couldn’t stop everywhere, but we were the parade. Locals dressed up, stood outside their houses, leaned out windows, waving, women bedecked with coral and garnet necklaces and silver bracelets, smiling, eager just to make eye contact. The novelty was mutual. We exchanged ‘namastes’ with countless locals, many of whom gathered to watch us pass, their smiles every bit as warm as the sun. Once a boy threw me a fruit, one I had never seen, a cross between a pear and an apple. On the trail, my eye caught something red lying in a clump of grass. It was a large green leaf, formed and sewn into a pouch full of vivid red petals, just left there by a gentle hand, a hello. (Because of the rough trails, in Nepal you spend more time looking down than you do looking up.)

T

his Earth Day, April 22, head the family in a new, greener direction. Here are three paper habits you can change that are easy to implement and with big impact. You could make a world of difference. 1. Toilet paper. Seventh Generation, maker of recycled toilet paper, calculates that if every U. S. household bought just one four-pack of 260-sheet recycled bath tissue, instead of tissue made from virgin fiber, it would preserve 356 million gallons of fresh water and save nearly 1 million trees. Extrapolating to Blaine County’s 9125 households, that comes out to 28,000 gallons of water and 78 trees saved by just using one fourpack of the recycled stuff each. Not much sacrifice in softness, compared to the savings to water and air quality, and what if we all switched permanently! 2. No matter how you tear it, paper towels are wasteful. Buy some microfiber towels, then toss them into the washer and reuse them again and again. Or buy recycled paper towels; substituting just one roll of 100 percent recycled paper towels for virgin fiber paper towels (70 sheets) by each U.S. household, could save 544,000 trees. 3. It’s not that hard to print on both sides of the paper. Most software programs allow this option, but still most of us print only on one side. Consider this: in the US we average about 27 pounds of copy paper annually per person. Save money and trees; print on two sides, and tws then recycle.

Bill Janss, Jr., and his bride Jill hold court in Buling.

Every afternoon, in camp, there was the four o’clock sick call. The porters had aches and sprains, as did the locals saddled with colds, headaches, cuts and bruises, boils and hypochondria. Our doctor, Andy, soon realized that he would run out of aspirin and placebos. All Westerners are ambassadors of our entire culture, and we are routinely expected to fix, with miracle drugs, all that ails a particular local. Andy did have to make a house call in the reasonably affluent town of Buling to splint a broken leg, the result of a boy falling off the wooden scaffolds of a Ferris wheel. Buling was an ideal Third World hamlet. The hills were well terraced and cultivated. The Tamang inhabitants were well dressed, especially the younger generation. There was relatively easy access to Kathmandu one day’s walk to a road, two days’ to the airport at Jiri. The houses and yards were well kept. There was a balance between grain fields, pasturelands and forest. (This is important. The prolonged

—

drought in Darfur has destroyed this very balance, and a society with it.) There were no signs of the scarring of deforestation. They cultivated commodity and cash crops. And they had a school. We made camp here, and the children of the town showed up with the afternoon breeze. The sherpas ran around, picking up personal items left strewn around camp, as was our wont. I was writing in a journal, with a young teen peering over my shoulder. The camp was flooded with the visiting children’s curiosity. No one begged for anything. As I wrote, the boy started to read aloud, “...we may complain of our bodies, though we are reaching a complete awareness of it. This land has physique. We start with a physical reality and grow to an expansion that is spawned by the spirit of this land.” To my amazement, he mostly read it well. “I study English!” he proudly proclaimed. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Financial Stability and Saving Money

F

BY ANA TORRES inancial stability and saving money are important for homeowners and, since owning a home is easily one of the biggest expenses the average person will afford in their lifetime, saving money around the home is crucial. Even for those who are able to pay off their mortgage, the cost of annual renovations, maintenance, and more can really add up. In order to save this upcoming year on your mortgage and other home-related expenditures, consider a few resolutions: Acquire a New Loan or Refinance Your Mortgage Because low mortgage rates are likely to continue through 2012, many existing and aspiring homeowners are resolving to save by acquiring a low, fixed-rate loan. Unlike adjustable-rate loans that can rise if market rates go up, a fixed rate will not fluctuate throughout the life of the loan. A fixed-rate loan will allow you to confidently calculate your savings prior to signing on the dotted line. Determine whether or not it would be wise to refinance by reviewing your current mortgage with your mortgage professional. Cutting even $100 from your monthly mortgage payment could mean huge savings over the life of your loan. As always, examine the refinance terms with your mortgage professional to ensure the closing costs and such do not outweigh the refinance savings. Pay Down Your Current Mortgage If refinancing isn’t for you, save thousands and pay your mortgage off in half the time by making extra principal payments. Making extra payments can drastically decrease both the length of time it will take to pay off your mortgage and the amount you’d pay in interest. The more payments you make in a shorter period of time,

the less you end up paying in the long term, and the faster you’ll get rid of your mortgage. Property Tax Assessment Chances are your home’s value has decreased over the past few years, which means your property taxes should follow suit. If your taxes seem high, take action by reviewing the annual estimate of your home’s assessed value for any mistakes. If you feel your assessed property value is inflated, have your home appraised and discuss your options with your county assessor. Score Homeowners Insurance Discounts Last year’s home improvements can lead to savings. If you’ve made improvements to your home in recent years, which might include updates to wiring, plumbing, roofing and heating, you may qualify for homeowner’s insurance discounts. Contact your insurance company to inform them of your improvements and find out if you qualify for a discount. Improve Your Credit It is always smart to check your credit report. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com, request your free credit report and review it carefully to ensure your report is void of any mistakes. Improve your rating over time by paying your mortgage and other bills promptly and reducing credit card loan-todebt ratio. Work with your mortgage professional to discuss how an excellent credit score may improve your eligibility for a low, fixed-rate loan. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, Okay, I admit it. I'm cheap. I won't buy anything in the grocery store without a coupon. I only order the early bird special at restaurants and I even recycle old t-shirts and underwear to use as rags. Now that my husband and I have retired, we are considering selling our house and moving to something smaller. Recently the housing market has lost much of its luster. While driving around town, I noticed many of the homes in our area are advertised as "For Sale by Owner". That got me thinking. With the market going soft, are more people choosing to advertise their house on their own to save money? Being the thrifty person I am, I'm wondering if this is the route my husband and I should take. If so, I'll be using those old t-shirts and underwear to give the place a good dusting before we put it on the market.

Cash: Whether you sell the

house on your own or not, you should definitely use those rags to give the house a good cleaning. After all, the more polished it is, the better it will look to buyers.

Fast Facts A "Brief" History

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 04/08/12 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Carry: Since the real estate market varies regionally, much like the weather, it's quite possible you are seeing more For Sale by Owner homes. Or there may simply be more houses on the market, giving the appearance of more For Sale by Owners. Cash: Regardless of how good the real estate market is, there are always people who chose to sell their house on their own without the assistance of a real estate agent. While some have great success, there are others who could have benefited from the services of an agent. Carry: Since you are a selfadmitted "thrifty" person, consider this. The savings you could realize

from the sale of your home can easily outweigh your use of coupons and early bird specials for a lifetime. Therefore, it's important you make the most of your sale. Cash: If you feel confident you can advertise your house, qualify the buyers and negotiate the sale effectively, then selling it yourself may be appropriate. However, if you're unsure of the process or how to price your home, then it may be best to get some help from a professional who has that knowledge. Carry: Either way, if you do use old underwear and t-shirts as rags, remember to buy some replacements first!

Whether it's boxers or briefs or anything in between, stores today are stocked with all sorts of styles, colors, and designs of underwear. However, that wasn't always the case. It wasn't until the 1930's, with the invention of elastic, that boxers and briefs came into existence the way we know them today. Prior to that time, men's boxers were mostly string tied or combined with the tshirt to create "union suits". Also, the invention of the "snap", originally known as the Scovill Manufacturing's Gripper Fastener, aided in new designs.

Coupon Clipping

Saving money is serious business for those who clip coupons regularly. It is estimated that using coupons effectively can save the average person about 12% off their weekly grocery bill. However, even with all the "buy one get one free" offers, most people do not take advantage of the savings. Every year manufacturers issue over 300 billion coupons offering a face value savings of over $375 billion. Less than 5% are cashed in by consumers. •

Reader Humor Sounded Too Good

Finding a good apartment in the city is never easy. Most places are too expensive or too small. After scanning this week's "For Rent" section of the classifieds, I did come across one place that had hope. I called the building manager, but his accent made it very difficult for me to understand him. However when I heard the words, "two bedroom", I quickly made an appointment to see the place. As he opened the door to the apartment, my hope was quickly extinguished. The apartment turned out to be a small studio. "I thought you said this was a two bedroom," I asked him. "No," he replied in his accent. "I said you could fit two beds in the room." (Thanks to Izzy B.)
