his year organizers moved the Janss race to April, in part to accommodate spring break and the NCAA collegiate races held in March on Baldy. But the move also had the effect of allowing 28 youngsters with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation to join the big guys on the slopes since regional races are over. We talked with a few of them to see what they’ve learned from skiing and boarding on SVSEF teams:

Tanner Josey, Alpine J3 Team “I’ve learned how to be a great teammate. I’ve learned that you never put anybody down and you always tell people, ‘Say, good job!’ ” J.T. Neeley, Freestyle Prep Team “Virtue. I’ve learned about virtue in life and virtue in skiing. I’ve learned that you try hard in life and you try hard on the mountain.” Lexi Black, Alpine J3 Team “I’ve learned to trust people. Skiing is an individual sport. But it’s just as much about being on a team. I’ve learned to trust people for support and to be there when I have a really tough day and help me not beat myself up. And I’m learning to be there for them, as well.”

Griffin Curtis, Alpine J3 Team “I’ve learned to get my homework done and be responsible. It’s taught me to get out of bed at 7:30—6 on days I have a ski race. I’d stay in bed a long time if I wasn’t for that.”

The Foot Man B Photos and Story By KAREN BOSSICK

rent Hansen would never profess to be a miracle worker. But he can help the lame to walk again. Hansen is a foot wizard for World Cup ski racers and greatgrandmothers alike—a fact alluded to by the big foot hanging outside his Ski Tek and Hansen Orthotics Lab on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. Skiers fly in from as far away as Europe to have him sandwich their feet into the perfect ski boot fit. And that’s just for starters. Ketchum resident Sue Mendelsohn tapped Hansen to build her custom-made insoles featuring high arches made of soft gel after she had to have a total ankle replacement—a new treatment at the time. Saddled with flat feet, her feet had rolled inward for so many years that it eventually felt as if she was walking on her ankle bones. “It’s a story with a very happy ending,” said Mendelsohn. “I can walk. I can golf. But I wish I’d had Brent make me some orthotics years ago so I could have prevented all this before it happened.” Another happy customer is Chris Clark, a Seattle resident whom Hansen helped get back on skis after two faulty hip replacements left Clark without a hip, leaving one leg three inches shorter than the other. “I haven’t been able to ski in 26 years. But Brent and Jason made me a modified ski so I’m level when I’m on skis. I skied Lower River Run top to bottom non-stop today. And I’m headed for College tomorrow,” said Clark a few days ago. “I learned to ski Sun Valley in ’59 and skiing Baldy has always been the ultimate experience for me, so I’m a real happy guy. Brent and (adaptive ski instructor) Marc Mast are heroes to me.” Hansen came by his foot knowhow the hard way. He was always working on his own boots and helping fellow ski racers with theirs. An über -athlete, he was a speed skier and ski racer on the Can-Am and professional circuit. He also coached New Zealand’s Olympic team, as well as a Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation team. He even won the first Boulder Mountain Tour Nordic

Brent Hansen takes a plaster cast of a foot in sand. Ski boots are difficult to fit because they’re one shape and no two pair of feet are alike, just as no set of fingerprints are alike. Ski Tek solves that problem by using hydraulic pressure on the boot shell to make it look like the foot. They then round them out with Intuition liners and custom-made orthotics. “I can fix people’s old boots up with new liners and footbeds and save them a lot of money,” Hansen said. “We are a bit of a hotrod shop.”

race in 1973. But when a hang-gliding accident in 1990 in Greenhorn Gulch crushed his back and slightly paralyzed his calves, he had to figure out a way to just keep moving. He designed a footbed out of soft gel and leather that helps him push off and roll through his gait. Then he turned his attention to others with not-so-happy feet. Today, Hansen has three certified pedorthists at Hansen Orthotics—himself, Jeremy Hickey and Ben Schumacher. They work with some of the top orthopedic surgeons in the country. And Hansen’s constantly crafting special sandals and experimenting with different new foams and gels, using sanders and glue instead of the hammers and nails of old-time shoemakers. One of the most frequent problems Hansen sees is metatarsalgia, where a flattening of the ball of the foot caused by age causes a thinning of the fatty pad, leaving older people to feel as if they’re walking on bone. Hansen has a simple remedy: an insole with a gel that acts like a human fatty pad, cushioning the feet. “To me, an active lifestyle is the key to a happy life. My favorite doctor told me that we are like sharks. If we don’t keep moving, we die! “I’ll do what it takes to get people active again, to get them tws back on their feet.”

“To me, an active lifestyle is the key to a happy life… If we don’t keep moving, we die!” –Brent Hansen Ski Tek, Ketchum

Jason Georgiades, from Tropos Design in Bellevue, made this ski lift for Chris Clark with the help of Brent Hansen. “Jason can take any idea I have and make it way better than I dreamed!” says Hansen.

The flight of billions

out over the U.S. Most of them head east-northeast, up the East Coast and toward Canada’s boreal forests (only 25 percent of the original number left), riding the tail winds from the south. Head winds are a real problem for them, as are the storms of Tornado Alley or, on the return, hurricane season. Just imagine what the recent wave of storms that swept over 23 southern states did to them. Like with us, it’s all about access to energy, and the conservation of same. Like our winter ungulates, they live and fight for every calorie. Do birds return to the same place they were born? Not usually. Do they return to the same area they were bred in? Depends on the species and, with all the above-mentioned hazards, count yourself lucky if they do. Here in the Habitat, in the last three years, the population of Western tanagers has gone from two to eight. Two years ago there were none. The birds navigate in three ways. Most of them just follow the crowd, but each is equipped to fly alone. Their preferred method is that of sailors—navigation by the stars. Great on clear nights. Then comes the east-west orientation of sunrise/ sunset. In case of storms and overcast conditions, they wait it out or use the fall-back reliance on electromagnetic auto pilot— their built-in compass. Next week I’ll detail the various physical obstacles that annihilate hundreds of millions of birds—windmill blades, power lines, lit towers and buildings, and house cats. Oh, joy! tws

s the birds begin to arrive, it’s time to look at what they have to endure to get here. As we’ve seen, their two biggest enemies south of the border are exposure to chemicals and habitat destruction. Those that are able to accumulate enough breast fat and survive the poisons begin their journey north to the promised land of spring’s bounty—worms, flies, insects of all kinds, mosquitoes and juicy caterpillars. Before their departure, they eat the equivalent of 200-plus hamburgers per day, and double their body weight. Animals time the birth of their young to seasons that produce food for their young ‘uns. (We humans know that kids are expensive. Endemic poverty produces more children, a survival tactic.) Migratory bird numbers are down significantly since the 1960s (30 percent), but there are a few left—billions, in fact. This may seem like a lot, but it’s a good time to draw a line in the sand, and at least do what we can to help them; if not for love, then for self-preservation, for their demise is our own. The birds fly at night in large swarms, so, unlike geese, we don’t see them, but they show up on weather radar like a huge, supple mass, a living supercell of a million birds. With computer aids, ornithologists can count them. In the morning, after having flown two or three hundred miles (if they’re lucky), they land to eat—and eat and eat. Having lost half their body weight, now they have to double it again. Try this on Weight Watchers! At dusk, they take off and fan

Public health week honors Health Heroes For 13 years, the South Central Public Health District has singled out individuals and organizations for their outstanding contributions to public health and their long-term impact on regional health issues. The Hunger Coalition received a Health Hero Award this year for providing food to those in need and promoting solutions to the underlying causes of hunger in Blaine County. Nominated by Blaine County resi-

dent Dr. Peter Curran and County Commissioner Angenie McCleary, The Hunger Coalition staff are grateful for this public recognition of the incredible work performed by more than 150 dedicated volunteers helping to make vital food assistance programs possible throughout the year. The Hunger Coalition wishes to take this opportunity to thank all of Blaine County for their generosity and support in the fight against local hunger.

Benson appointed interem exec. director The Blaine County Education Foundation has selected Becky Benson to replace Heather Crocker as the interim executive director. Benson is currently a member of the board of directors for the BCEF and has been assisting Ms. Crocker with the day-to-day activities of the foundation for the last year. “I am very pleased Becky has agreed to support the BCEF while we search for a permanent executive director� said Patty Tobin, co-chair. “Her past experience with various foundations and her current knowledge of the BCEF makes her the perfect person.� Benson is a native Idahoan and has lived in the Wood River Valley for 23

years. She was the annual giving coordinator for the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation and served as the interim director. Ms. Benson has worked with other non-profits in the Valley as well as being a parent volunteer in the school system since 1996. In the past year, the BCEF has distributed over 100 grants to teachers and students including college aspirations at the elementary school level, project-based learning grants at Wood River Middle School, and a Promethean board for the college counseling department at Wood River High School. Benson can be reached at the BCEF office at 208-578-5449.

atty Parsons Tewson has a dream. That dream would be to produce a concert celebrating the history of the black people in America. And Yve Evans—a leading lady of jazz and soul at Sun Valley’s Jazz Festival each fall--is helping her to make that dream come true. Evans, a Sacramento singer who has sung with the likes of B.B.King, will join Tewson and her Hallelujah Chorus in a free concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The show will also feature the Boise State Meistersingers and a live band.

Glow Town emerges from trash By KAREN BOSSICK

P

ogo might have said: “We’ve seen the future, and it includes cities with Pokemon centers”—if he had been around to see the towns that 70 Wood River Valley youngsters built Saturday, that is. Some 70 children turned out for morning and afternoon Glow Town building sessions at The Community Library. And, by the time they left, they had built an opera house, a beach with beach chairs and a lifeguard stand and even a torture apparatus hanging from a skyscraper. The construction supervisor was Sharon Loudon, a Yale University School of Art graduate who has taught art at the National Academy of Art in New York City. Louden, whose own work has been exhibited at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the National Gallery of Art, created the first Glow Town in 1999 at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut and has presided over a couple of others each year since. She was brought to Ketchum by her friend, Julie Ward. Louden looked over a room full of expectant youngsters seated around tables on chairs that had been covered with black plastic garbage bags. Then she pointed to the stage where empty toilet paper rolls, egg cartons, pinecones, plastic plates and bowls, cotton balls, wine corks, tongue dispensers, straws, coffee filters and plastic packing popcorn awaited.

“You may be looking from your tables and saying, ‘That’s a bunch of trash,’” she told the kids. “But you can make fabulous art out of anything using your imagination. The challenge for you is to make a town of this and have it light up at night. And think about what it would look like if you were looking down from a plane.” The kids needed no encouragement. After meeting with table mates to decide what to call their towns, each gathered an armful of material and proceeded to create something on a foot-square piece of cardboard. No two squares looked alike. Nine-year-old Woodside Elementary student Sarah Feltman created a Pokemon Center where the Pokemons of the world could have their health restored, while her twin sister Maren Feltman created a beach with coconut drinks and umbrellas. Thirteen-year-old Wood River Middle School student Aaron Martin built a skyscraper four feet tall with a slide connected to the pool his 11-year-old sister Dovie was building atop a house. Twelve-year-old Sage School student Alex Gilman built a Trojan horse for his table’s city of Troy. And nine-year-old Hailey Elementary student David Rau created a two-foot bridge complete with acorn-topped lights to allow the residents of his town access to the space needle that his friend—Montessori student Evan Smith—was building. “I think it’s awesome that you can make stuff out of anything,” Rau said. “I’m so glad I came. This is the first time I’ve ever built stuff out of junk. It’s really

fun.” Ward pointed out how each of the children worked as individuals on their own squares but also worked as part of a team. “This teaches the children to use the resources at hand and it teaches teamwork,” she said. David Rau’s mother, Mary Rau, agreed: “This is a fantastic opportunity. They’re learning how to work together and they’re learning about possibilities.” When each block had been built, the kids dabbed their creations with glow-in-the-dark

paint. Then they joined all the blocks together, turned the lights out and oohed and ahhed as neon green lights similar to that of the aurora borealis emerged. But the brighter glow was on the faces of the children. tws RIGHT: Sophia Bernbaum, a 10-yearold Hemingway student, shows off her contribution to her table’s town, which includes huts, a bonfire and a park full of trees and rocks.

Kriesien and KB’s By JIMA RICE

W

hat’s it like to be an entrepreneur? For Brian Kriesien, owner of KB’s Burritos (KB’s), “It’s exciting‌ the chaos, managing the chaos, and the problem-solving.â€? A big smile spreads over his face. He has run his Mexican restaurant for 14 years and loves juggling the different balls that fly at him. Having powered through several entrepreneurial ups and downs, he and KB’s are still standing—and hoping to expand. How did Brian come by KB’s? His first job post-college was at a high-end Telluride restaurant where he started as a busboy and, six months later, was restaurant manager. Along the way, he fell in love with the food business. “There’s nothing better than seeing someone come in hungry and leave happy,â€? he exclaims. Then came a manager’s role at a five-star restaurant in Salt Lake City. “Again, I loved it,â€? he says, “but, it’s weird, I kept dreaming of having a burrito place—a casual, family-type restaurant.â€? He came across a “for saleâ€? ad for KB’s, drove up to Ketchum to check the restaurant out, and felt he’d come home. “There was even a rainbow over the place when I arrived,â€? he laughs, “and it was in the mountains, with a ski resort! The stars were aligning.â€? That was 1997. Brian’s wife participated in the restaurant’s initial years. Together they fine-tuned recipes, created new menu items, cooked, managed the books, and built customer relationships. With time, as KB’s established itself, it became synonymous with Brian’s everfriendly and easy-going presence. “People just loved the place,â€? smiles Brian; a lot of them were interested in partnering with him locally or bringing KB’s to their town. Ultimately, he took on a silent partner and together they planned a second KB’s in Hailey. “We had fun putting the place together—going wild with decorating and creative collaboration, like painting the color spectrum on the walls,â€? he recalls. The restaurant opened in 2004 and produced stronger sales than its northern cohort in the first year. Subsequently, both stores leveled out in sales. Having shaped KB’s brand— fresh, high-quality, fast meals in a feel-good family atmosphere— Brian wanted to expand outside the Valley. Checking locations as far away as Seattle, he ultimately settled on Boise’s BoDo district, a happening new area. The partnership invested in an expected “home run.â€? “We could design our own space, had a nine-screen multiplex going up across the street, and a 200-room hotel rising

above us. On paper, it looked fantastic.� Real life intervened. During construction, coordinating with the hotel was a moving target, Brian’s construction costs skyrocketed, the theater projections were off by 80 percent, the hotel opened a year late, and the parking layout didn’t favor KB’s location. Such is the entrepreneur’s path! BoDo’s KB’s closed after 21 months. A deal on the seven-year lease was negotiated and Brian subsequently bought out his partner. He was looking forward to a little peace. But two more surprises awaited. Brian lost his Ketchum lease (and its income) to another business’s expansion plans and the USDA came calling to say that wholesale meat burritos sold at Atkinsons’ and other outlets must be made in USDA-approved facilities—nonexistent in our Valley. Those products had to be pulled and 20 percent of KB’s income faded into the past. Fortunately, nonmeat KB’s burritos and salsas are still commercially available. For now, Brian has hunkered down in Hailey. “I’m resting,� he says, “not running around to three restaurants.� Proud of his brand, his eight employees and KB’s great service, he says, “If we can persevere, we’ll be fine; that’s the nature of this business.� Meanwhile, ever resilient, Brian snuck off to Boise last week to look at “what may be a great new space for us.� tws If you have question or comments, contact Jima Rice directly at: jimasv@cox.net.

movie review

The Punch line Limitless: Just say no to drugs By JONATHAN KANE

Jon rated this movie

A People everywhere are asking, “Can you feel it? Can you see it?”…Spring is in the air! PHOTO: SUSAN LITTLEFIELD Avid weekly paper reader, Susan Littlefield, who has lived in the Valley for over 35 years, claims that laughter is the best medicine. She creates these scenarios in her husbands N-scale model railroad.

ccording to science, we only use about 20 percent of our brains. But what if we could access the other 80 percent? Where would the journey take us and to what heights might we obtain? These are the questions to which answers are sought in the new sci-fi thriller Limitless. Starring the newly minted movie star Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), the movie,

like most Hollywood thrillers, just doesn’t quite come together at the end, instead leaving loose plot lines and motivations less than adequately tied together. But for two hours the movie is relatively entertaining and gives the audience a passable afternoon at the cinema. Perhaps this is all we can ask for? The film is directed in a workmanlike fashion by director Neil Burger from a screenplay by Leslie Dixon adapted from the novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn. Burger does have a penchant for some nifty cinematography as we peel through the streets of New York City in a psychedelic rush. Cooper carries the film with a smarmy sort of charm

that alternatively turns you off and, at the same time, can seem rakish. His ascent as a star is clear but to what heights he’ll go is yet to be determined. The heart of the story concerns itself with a drug called NZT that can literally expand your mind so that you have the power to take over the world. At $800 a pop, it does its thing but, as with all drugs, the downside is addiction. Cooper is rich and famous but when the substance wears off, he is left a depleted shell of himself. With a myriad of plot twists flopping around, perhaps this is the real message of the movie – Just Say No. tws

Your friends and family will show their enthusiasm and appreciation for all the various ways you contribute to their lives just by being you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve played by conservative rules lately, and this week you can afford to go a little left of center. So make some offbeat choices if you dare. Wear a funny hat, or order the weirdest dish on the menu. You’ll love who you meet because of this, and where the conversation leads. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Self-discipline sometimes feels like a punishment, when actually it is a gift you give yourself. When you are disciplined enough to habitually do what’s good for you, it becomes automatic -- just a part of who you are. And one day you’ll wake up and realize that you have become who you wanted to be. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you operate under the assumption that everything happens for a reason, you’ll be delighted with the serendipitous unfolding of this week’s events. You don’t have to actually believe that everything happens for a reason -- just try on the belief for a few days. Acting “as if” is enough for now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are no stranger to accidental genius. There have been times when providence seemed to speak to you through arbitrary decision-making. Other times those decisions proved to be mistakes. This is not the week to take a chance. You deserve consistency. Give yourself a gift -- learn a method you can count on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re not afraid of change. In fact, you like it, as long as you believe the adjustment is actually an improvement. The prospect of a lateral shift will cause you to wonder whether it’s really worth it. As of now, it’s too soon to tell, but you will learn all you need to know to make your decision by the end of the week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a fine line between vanity and taking extraordinarily good care of yourself. You walk it well. You indulge in the extras because you know that when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you have the energy to take excellent care of your loved ones, too. There’s nothing vain about that! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Knowing that someone likes you makes life more exciting. You will share only the best things about yourself with the one who is obviously intrigued and so curious to know more. Soon you will be dominant in this person’s mind and imagination as you create one memorable experience after another together. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is so natural for you to accommodate the needs of those around you that it sometimes feels as though you are on a treadmill of service to your fam-

ily and friends. This week, you will be freed from a boring routine, if only for a short time. Use the fun excursion from normal life to get perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be inspired to be more spontaneous and fun in the early week. The middle week requires you to take a respectful and forgiving manner with a loved one, which you do naturally. Your easygoing ways will make life pleasant, and you’ll be similarly received if you should ever require their mercy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You realize what really matters, and you’re willing to make sacrifices to better your condition. For instance, you might accept a lower salary than you currently receive at work in order to try a job you may like more. Or you might sell a material possession to gain the flexibility and freedom of being unencumbered. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You defy human nature as you remember the good things that have happened to you in your life and, for the most part, forget the bad things. This superhuman act of conscience will make this one of the best weeks you’ve had in recent history. Your lightness of being attracts laughter and fun wherever you go. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll grow in reputation and gain favor with the public. This helps your personal life, as well, as the air of confidence and power you project will help your appeal with loved ones and potential loved ones. April brings a new financial strategy. Be bold in your pursuit of knowledge. tws

Rubber bands are Recyclable Rubber bands keep com-

ing around; they are wrapped around the newspaper, the broccoli, the asparagus. Don’t throw them away—they are reusable—although not compostable or recyclable. Reduce the amount of lotion or soap you use by wrapping a rubber band around the dispenser. Wrap a rubber band around your finger to go through paperwork or count money. Wrap a rubber band around the remote and it won’t slide around anymore. Wrap a wide rubber band around the paint can opening to wipe paint off and collect drips. If you have a drip, wrap a rubber band around the leak for a temporary fix. When a storm knocks your chimes silly, wrap a rubber band around the chimes to quiet them down until the storm passes. Use them to close your bag of chips by wrapping them around the bag lengthwise to seal in freshness. When your jar lid won’t budge, use a wide rubber band wrapped around the lid to get a better grip. Tie them at the ends of your hangers and your clothes won’t slip. Wrap them on pastry bags so the frosting won’t squeeze from the other end. Are you into “tie-dyeing?â€? Tie rubber bands around the fabric before dipping in the dye; where the fabric is wound in rubber bands, the dye won’t penetrate. If you want to save rubber bands or you use them for your business, they save better if you keep them refrigerated.

Idaho Community Action Network and the Alliance for a Just Society released a report showing the statewide economic impacts of Medicaid called, “Medicaid Matters to Idaho Counties: State Investment in Medicaid Means Jobs and Economic Activity�. The full report is available at www.idahocan. org. Idaho Community Action Network board member, Millie Gaitan-Gonzalez explains: “Every $10 invested in Medicaid brings in $33.82 in federal funding for the state. According to this report, the impact of Medicaid spending on jobs and wages in state fiscal year

2010 was $708,944,732. This spending provided 18,241 jobs in the state. The Medicaid program is an economic machine that not only improves the quality of lives for those with disabilities, in some cases, it saves lives.� Despite the economic activity generated by Medicaid, the Idaho Legislature approved deep cuts to this investment. This report contributes to the public discussion of Medicaid and the state budget by providing countyby-county data on the contributions Medicaid makes to the economy and the quality of life in Idaho.

Symphony benefit to feature child vocalist By KAREN BOSSICK

J

ackie Evancho turned 11 this weekend. Hopefully, her presents included plenty of sunscreen because this child vocal prodigy from Pittsburgh is headed for Sun Valley. Evancho will headline the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Benefit Concert at 6:30 p.m. July 31 in the Sun Valley Pavilion. Two other vocalists, who have yet to be named, will join her. Evancho catapulted to fame with her performance of Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro” on “America’s Got Talent” in 2010. Her major label debut “O Holy Night”--released in November 2010--climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Charts and No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Chart with sales in excess of a million. She performs a duet with Barbra Streisand and Susan Boyle on her second album “Dream With Me,” which will be released soon. And she’ll appear in “Jackie Evancho: Dream With Me In Concert” on PBS in June. Sun Valley Summer Symphony Executive Director Jennifer Teisinger said she saw Evancho perform in her first orchestra concert in March in Boca Raton, Fla., and was blown away by the tiny girl in an elegant gold lace trimmed gown. “When she’s singing, she’s professional, elegant, inspiring and sort of amazing. There’s this very ethereal angelic voice coming out of her. Then, when she stops singing, she’s 10 again. She waves to the audience and she curtsies instead of bows,” Teisinger said. Evancho’s appearance is yet another in a string of creative benefit performers that the symphony has hosted over the past couple years. Country singing legend Garth Brooks performed last year; the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the year before. Teisinger said the choice involves a lot of research to find who’s available, along with thought to what can make the program unique and interesting. “Jackie’s concert will certainly be unlike anything else we feature during the symphony season,” she said. Evancho’s performance, billed as “classical cross-over,” will feature contemporary arrange-

“When she’s singing, she’s professional, elegant, inspiring and sort of amazing. Then, when she stops singing, she’s 10 again.” –Jennifer Teisinger Sun Valley Summer Symphony Executive Director

ments of familiar operatic arias, along with some pop numbers and Oscar-winning tunes. It will also likely feature selections off her album “Dream With Me,” arranged by 16-time Grammy Award winner David Foster. Tickets for the benefit concert go on sale in mid-April at www. svsummersymphony.org or by calling 208-622-5607. The $750 tickets include a reserved seat in the center section, a 5 p.m. cocktail reception on the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace, an opportunity to meet the artists, a complimentary artist CD and VIP sponsorship recognition in the program. The $500 and $250 tickets include the cocktail reception on the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace. The $100 and $50 tickets include a complimentary cocktail. Admission to the benefit concert helps the symphony to offer the remainder of its summer concerts free of charge and supports the symphony’s year-round education programs. tws

briefs Women’s seminar on achieving balance Weekly Sun columnist Connie Love will be co-facilitator of a four-week women’s seminar starting April 14 on “How to Have Balance in Your Life and Create a Rich, Fulfilling Life.” The seminar will focus on helping participants define their values, and establishing daily practices to achieve their goals. Facilitators will be Love, a certified life coach, and Shelly Vegwert, clinical professional counselor. Both have been residents of the Wood River Val-

ley for more than 20 years. Vegwert holds a master’s degree in counseling from Northwest Nazarene University. Love holds life coaching certification from the University of Colorado at Boulder. The group will meet at the Wood River Counseling Center, 220 Second Ave. South, Hailey, on four Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Cost is $125. For additional information or to reserve a spot, call Vegwert at (208) 481-2611.

Expressions in the Park applications due Women artists in the Wood River Valley have until April 20 to apply to participate in Expressions in the Park (formerly Artists in the Garden), the annual fundraiser for Positive Partners Assistance Dogs, Inc. This year’s show will be Aug. 7 from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Forest Service Park in Ketchum. “We expect that the move from our previous location at a private home in Hailey will attract far more visitors to the exhibition,” said Margery Friedlander, chair of the event. Artists are requested to donate 30 percent of the proceeds from sales of their work at the event to Positive Partners, as well as contribute $30 to an advertising fund. Interested artists should contact Friedlander at zqno1@ cox.net or (208) 788-0837. Several artists already have signed up, including Annie May, Poo Wright-

Pulliam, and Friedlander. Artists from outside the Wood River Valley are welcome as space permits. Positive Partners Assistance Dogs custom-trains dogs to assist the disabled with specific chores. It differs from most service dog training programs in several respects. In addition to helping individuals with special needs that are not met by most of the larger assistance dog training programs, it uses “clicker” training, perhaps best known for its use in training whales and dolphins. Thanks to these differences, dogs go directly from the “puppy raiser” to the handler, eliminating the difficult and expensive kennel phase of most service dog training programs.

Janss Race points towards Sochi Photos & Story By KAREN BOSSICK

W

ill Hovey surprised fellow racers when he used a couple outriggers—ski poles attached to his wrists—to ski the Janss Pro-Am on Friday. But—yeehaw—“Last I checked, horses ran on all fours,” said Hovey. Hovey took his calling as a race horse for his team—the Kentucky Derby—pretty darn seriously. And he and 167 other racers on 28 teams took their calling—to raise money and awareness for 500 youngsters in the Sun Valley ski Education Foundation—pretty seriously, as well. About 10 people raised their paddles pledging between $5,000 and $10,000 for the foundation Saturday night. And dozens more raised their paddles for lesser amounts. That followed Foundation Di-

rector Don Wiseman’s announcement that the organization’s goal of sending six athletes to the 2012 Winter Games at Sochi had just broadened with this week’s announcement that the International Olympic committee had approved skiers’ halfpipe competition. “We’re helping the kids in our community. We’re helping the heart of our community with this,” said Jane Reynolds, a former freestyle skier and board member. Of course, the racers had plenty of fun in the process of lending their support to the kids. Adhering to a strict dress code set down by organizers Kate Berman and Sandra Caulkins, the teams showed up as everything from Cats in the Hats to A Chorus Line. Reynolds and her team showed up as Cougars dressed in a variety of elegant cougar jackets, pants, tails and masks.

Reynolds even paraded around her husband Tim Eagan as a slab of beef, pronouncing him her “Grade A Choice Beef.” Board President Rufus Brown’s group showed up as Kentucky Derby jockeys depending on their fine steed Will Hovey to lead them across the finish line. And, come Friday night, even Brown showed up at Whiskey Jacques dressed up in a fancy hat and dress congruent with the mavens of the derby. “I love all the crazy shenanigans that go on with this,” said 13-year-old Lexi Black, who got to participate in the weekend’s events along with 27 other Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation racers. “All the pros love this event. It’s such an important event because it raises funds to help pay for transportation to meets and scholarships for the racers and tuition. But it’s not like other boring old fundraisers. It’s so much fun.”

janss cup winners

First place: 5B Ski Team, comprised of Caleb Baukol, Trip Nabors, David Morgan, Adam Majors, junior pro Travis Wilkinson and pro Will Burks. Second place: Cougars with Karen Holzman, Jane Reynolds, Bedford Nabors, Kim Taylor, junior pro Samantha Busby and pro Langely McNeal. Third place: Team SVSEF with Harry Griffith, Doran Key, Muffy Ritz, James Montgomerie, junior pro Austin Savaria and pro Scott McGrew. Speed Cup – based on raw speed from handicapped runs on first day 1—Six at Sochi with Phil Erlanger, Jim Grossman, Nate Schwing, Matt Murphy, junior pro Will Harder and pro Carl Rixon. 2—Royal Wedding with Kipp Nelson, Matt Luhn, Robin Sarchett, Jake Dudek, junior pro Taylor Cooper and pro Nick Maricich. 3—Meat Hunters, Brick Blackburn, Ryan Dean, Wes Powell, Tyler Ferris, junior pro Jake Blackburn, pro Adele Savaria. Most Inspirational Racers: Wes Powell, who raced on one ski, and Samantha Busby

The Community School’s new headmaster David Holmes, wearing his father’s 1936 Middlebury College ski team jacket, said it was the first time he’s run gates since he was 13. “I absolutely loved this weekend,” he said, recounting how pro Mark Tache had instructed him to lean forward in his boots

and avoid leaning into the gates in icy conditions. “It was such a reunion of skiing and skiing history—not only of Sun Valley skiers but skiers from all over the country. And there was such a wonderful spirit of competition—without it being too overly competitive.” tws

Ditching junk food for good Own your home faster D A By ANA TORRES

By GLYNIS PALAZUELOS BUERSMEYER

merica ranks No. 1 in the world for obesity. By the year 2020, it is estimated that 75 percent of all Americans will be either obese or overweight. Back in 2003, Americans spent $117 billion on obesity-related costs for such illnesses as diabetes and heart disease. Each year around 300,000 Americans die from obesity or diet-related causes. The reason? In 2000, Americans spent more than $110 billion on fast food/junk food. Why do Americans eat so much junk food? One reason is that junk food is the most available to us in our fast-track lives. Junk food can be found at any convenience store, gas station, vending machine, or airport. People like the immediate gratification and cheap solution. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop at the convenience store. Most foods sold in supermarkets now are heavily processed, chemically adulterated, imitation foods consisting of canned soups, dinner “helper” products, sweet pastries, cow’s milk, and processed meats and cheeses. Quoting Michael Pollan, author of the book “Fast Food Nation,” “A lot of what you see in the supermarket I would argue is not really food. It’s what I call edible, food-like substances.” Don’t forget, sodas are also junk food. A 20-ounce can of soda has about 14 teaspoons of sugar, high fructose corn syrup and is loaded with dyes, chemicals and caffeine. The same Americans consuming junk food are also the ones picking up pharmaceuticals for

Healthy alternatives are within reach, if you make them.

their many ailments. Michael Pollan also said, “Before the Western diet came in, which is around the turn of the last century, populations did not have high levels of heart disease, Type II diabetes, obesity—all these diseases.” If you are concerned about you or your family being a part of one of these statistics, then let’s look at ways to change the way you eat. Once you build healthy habits of eating, it’s really not hard to follow. Your body will start wanting healthier foods. To start, here is a list of alternative snacks: Junk Food — Alternative Snack: Doughnuts or pastries — Whole grain cinnamon toast with a nut-butter; Breakfast cereals — Whole grain cereal (hot or cold) with fruit, nuts, and rice milk with agave or coco-

nut syrup; Potato chips — A handful of almonds, cashews or pecans or sliced veggies with a little salt; Sour cream — Lowfat Greek yogurt; Ice Cream — Low-fat Greek yogurt with agave syrup and fruit or organic chocolate or have some coconut ice cream; Cookies — Graham crackers with nut-butter like almond butter or bake oatmeal cookies using agave syrup or Xylitol at half the recommendation; Sodas — Mineral water with fruit slices, diluted pure fruit juice or just plain water; Cakes — A berry, apple or peach crisp, with minimal sugar. This is just a start for those addicted to junk food. Once you acclimate to eating better, another improvement can be cutting down on your portion sizes. Americans tend to eat way more than their bodies need. For example: meat portions should be no bigger than the size of your palm. Let’s round out this discussion by adding exercise to your lifestyle. Parking your car farther away, taking stairs instead of elevators or walking faster is a great start to feeling healthier. It’s about making the choice to be healthier by making small changes. tws

etermine whether paying off your mortgage sooner than later is right for you. Homeowners are discovering they don’t need to refinance in order to pay off their mortgage in half the time. Their simple trick to paying their mortgage quickly is extra principal payments. Depending upon your situation, the decision to pay off a mortgage and owning a home outright may not be the best way to spend your spare dollars, though it may provide great peace of mind. Find out if paying your mortgage sooner rather than later is right for you by determining which category you fit into. Category 1: I’m not planning to retire anytime soon and would like to make the most of my hardearned money. Depending upon your current financial situation, it may make sense for those homeowners who fit into the first category to invest their dollars elsewhere. Those still aways off from retirement have several more working years ahead of them, meaning many more years to build a good savings and invest their money to fund future endeavors like a child’s college tuition, retirement and more. Now that mortgage rates are at all-time lows, individuals looking to make the most of their money are choosing to refinance. With the savings from their refinance, these money-wise homeowners have extra cash to invest, save and/or spend as they wish. Category 2: I’m financially secure and getting close to retirement. Retiring without mortgage payments will help me rest easy.

If you fit into the second homeowner category, it may make sense for you to pay down your mortgage. But before you do, make sure you’re finanAna Torres cially secure by ensuring you have funded your retirement and have an emergency savings fund that covers 6 to 12 months of your living expenses. An emergency fund is a musthave, especially during tough times. It’s important to make sure you have enough money in easy access accounts (savings account, money market account or short-term CD, for example) to cover bills and your mortgage if you were to suddenly lose your source of income. Money in the bank gives you much more flexibility than equity in your home, but if your emergency and retirement finances are in order, then paying down your mortgage may be right for you. You’ll save on interest and shorten the life of your loan by paying down your principal. No matter which category you fit into, it is important to factor the current value of your home into the equation. If your home has dropped in value, it may be in your best interest to save your money and find out if refinancing is an option for you. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I've been renting a house from an elderly gentleman for the last three years. Then, a few months ago when he passed away, his three daughters inherited the house. While they have been very nice to me, they never seem to agree on anything. Each one seems to think she is the one in charge. First, it was whether or not to raise my rent. Then, it was whether to sell the house or keep renting it. It appears I'm stuck in a family squabble. I was thinking of moving, but a quick look through some classified ads told me that my rent is pretty reasonable. However, last week I found out that the electric bill hasn't been paid for the past two months. Electric is supposed to be included in my rent! Now who do I call? Can you guys help before I'm in the dark?

that you invest in a flashlight and some candles. Otherwise, you might be going to bed earlier than usual. Carry: For three sisters who battle to be in charge, it seems none of them actually take control. It's bad

enough to argue with your own brother or sister, but it's even tougher to be caught in someone else's sibling rivalry. Cash: Since you haven't mentioned a lease, we assume you are renting month to month. In that case, maintaining friendly relations with your new landlords is in your best interest. Carry: However, that doesn't mean you have to tolerate their family squabbles. Your first concern is to keep the electric on. Cash: Contact one of them, preferably the one you get along with best, and explain the situation. Since their father just passed away, the sisters may be unaware of the

electric bill issue. Carry: Once you have the electric squared away, it's time to play game show host and settle the "Family Feud". Ask them who you should talk to regarding the house and then use that person as your starting point for future discussions. Cash: If you'd like to stay in the house, consider asking for a lease. Although renting month to month may have gone well in the past, having a written agreement with your new landlords could be beneficial, especially if your rent is affordable. Carry: And if your electric ever does go out, just invite them over for a candlelight dinner.

Reader Humor Nosey Neighbor

Sibling rivalry is nothing new, but one competition played out in the newspapers for over 40 years. Most of us have heard of the advice columns, "Ann Landers" and "Dear Abby", but few know that the authors were actually twin sisters. Born on July 4, 1918, Esther Pauline Friedman and Pauline Esther Friedman went on to be the dueling advice columnists. Ester, known as Eppie, won a contest to author the column, "Ask Ann Landers", for the Chicago SunTimes in 1955. Her sister's column, "Dear Abby", would later follow as a competing column.

When I moved into my new apartment, I soon realized it was easy to know about everyone in the building. Just as I set down my last moving box, my new neighbor knocked on the door. "Welcome to the neighborhood," she cheerfully exclaimed. Within minutes she began describing all of my neighbors to me. "If you need artwork," she said, "visit Bruce in apartment 202. He's an art dealer. If you need someone to do your taxes, call Janice in 304. She's an accountant. And if you get locked out, just go see Jeff next door." "Let me guess," I interjected. "He must be a locksmith?" "Not quite," she whispered. "He just got out of jail for breaking and entering." (Thanks to Christian M.)

Home Sweet Home

You might think that people move from one place to another to find a newer or better residence. However, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 19% of people who move do so to upgrade their current home. The top rated reason people move, nearly 26%, is due to family related issues. Other reasons that topped the list were work related reasons (16%) and moving from an apartment to finally own a home (12%). •

What’s more fun than a barrel full of monkeys? Why, a barrel full of wine, of course—or perhaps a wine barrel full of art? Wine and art will indeed be in supply by the barrel at the Sun Valley Center Wine Auction this summer.
