SVSEF kid wins British National Championship By KAREN BOSSICK

ueen Victoria must be turning over in her grave. A Sun Valley kid has won the British National Ski Championship—of all

things! Jordan Fitzgerald, a member of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, placed first in giant slalom and second in slalom at the British National Children’s Alpine Ski Championships held in Meribel, France, on the same race course used for women’s alpine events during the 1992 Albertville Olympics. Fitzgerald was awarded the gold medal and the Hillend Salver perpetual trophy as the fastest girl in the GS competition, along with a silver medal in slalom by His Royal Highness, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. Fitzgerald competed in the event with her brother Jay, who placed ninth in GS. The two maintain dual nationality and qualified for the championships after submitting their USSA points to race organizers. Although Great Britain is not a dominant ski nation, most of the elite competitors attend race academies in the United States, Austria, France and Italy, said Jordan. “The competition was extremely strong, especially in slalom because the British skiers train on indoor snow or artificial slopes all year,” said Jay. tws

ou’d think Olympic Gold Medalist Chandra Crawford would have jumped at the chance to hang up her cross-country skis following a week of grueling cross-country ski competition in Sun Valley, including a punishing climb up Sun Valley’s 6,600foot Dollar Mountain. But she and six fellow Olympians weren’t ready to say adieu to the Nordic season yet. Not when they could motivate and inspire the next generation of young women. Crawford, the Olympians and 16 other ambassadors on skis decked themselves out in feather boas, unmatched striped stockings, bright colored suspenders and crazy hats. Then they took 70 girls ages 7 through 19 onto the Lake Creek trails for a day of hula hoops on skis, pull-the-tail-offthe-skier games and a few downward-facing-dog yoga poses in the snow. Crawford, of Canmore, Alberta, started “Fast and Female” to build confidence in girls while impressing on them that being involved in sports and outdoor recreation is a tremendous lds up Kaia Jensen ho tool for achieving r skiers. he ot off one’s personal and athletic best. “The first goal is to spread the love. That means no matter what sport

you’re doing, you have never ever quit and you stay active and build an amazing body,” Crawford told them. “The second goal: Dominating the world!” The smiles and enthusiasm that the leaders greeted their young charges with were contagious, starting with the face painting and headbands they helped one another make to identify each as part of a team. Olympian Kikkan Randall told the girls how she decided she wanted to go to the Olympics after watching the games on TV as a girl. “As cool as the Olympics are to watch on TV, walking in front of 80,000 people is even more amazing,” she said. “Your dream may be going to the moon. The important thing is to set goals for yourself.” Out on the snow Olympic racer Holly Brooks gave each girl a couple of “tails” to affix on Velcro belts as she led them on a fast-paced game of tag on skis. Without the girls even realizing it, she was teaching them cross-country ski skills, such as taking fast tiny steps around a corner. Crawford and her cohorts led the girls in a spirited dance-athon on skis. Sun Valley’s Olympian Morgan Arritola led them through an obstacle d lle pu s e’ the tails sh course that included skiing in and around a line of orange cones, through a “forest” of ski poles, ducking into a canvas-topped tunnel and side stepping over poles.

Biathlete Sara Studebaker led them through a biathlon-inspired relay race throwing tennis balls at targets. And Randall coaxed them up and down a steep hill, showing them how to get in a racer’s crouch for stability and to minimize wind drag by not putting their poles straight up in the air. “We’re fast and female!” she shouted. “Let me hear you ‘Grrrr’ as you attack that hill!” Seven-year-old Kaia Jensen beamed at the bottom: “I like that I can go downhill without crashing.” As the girls munched on Chinese chicken wraps, Randall shared how she originally wanted to be like Picabo Street and “bomb down those mountains.” But she found she was best at cross country skiing. “The reason I ski is because I love it. But also because I like to push myself and be the best I can be,” she told them. “I worked hard and took good care of my body and I got to go to the Salt Lake City Olympics at a younger age than people expected. And when I got there, they took us into a big warehouse the size of a gym and gave us a shopping cart and I got to go around and fill it full of gear. So find something that you love to do and set goals so you can be the best.” Crawford enlisted several of the girls to pretend to be ski racers as she acted out how a German racer had pushed her, causing her to fall in one of her early races. Crawford then told how she made a comeback, turning up the volume on that little voice in her head that said “You can do it,” racing in the 1.1-kilometer sprint at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. “I passed that German gal veering weirdly wide. And crazy fast,” she tws exclaimed. “And I won!”

Sun Valley Opera presents Capriccio By KAREN BOSSICK

S

aturday’s Met: Live in HD Production examines the question of which is more important—words or music. The production is “Capriccio” and it will be shown at 11 a.m. at Hailey’s Big Wood Theatre. Tickets are $22 general admission, $20 seniors, $18 for students. The running time is 2 hours and 45 minutes with no intermission. “Capriccio”—called “a conversation piece on the interaction of words and music”—revolves around Countess Madeleine (Renée Fleming), who finds herself pursued by two potential lovers—the poet Olivier (Russell Braun) and the composer Flamand (Joseph Kaiser). Richard Strauss’s final opera is particularly famous for its virtuosic final scene, an extended showcase for the lead soprano. “In his final years, Strauss reached a new level of refinement in his compositions that’s reflected here in the delicate chamber-music orchestrations, the intricate ensembles, the wistful melodies, and the nostalgic allusions to composers of the past,” said a reviewer for the

Associated Press. “The highlight of the opera—and, indeed, one of the most gorgeous passages in all of Strauss—is the Countess’ rhapsodic, 20-minute meditation that concludes the opera. Fleming is at her best here, bringing to life the poignant dilemma of a woman who must choose between two suitors and, in doing

Having a collection of crosses is easy to show off because all it takes is a wall— and Kirk says she has plenty of wall space.

Cindy Kirk started off enamored with the shape and art form of the cross. But, as her Christian faith deepened, she became enamored with Christ’s death and resurrection on the cross.

Cindy Kirk’s sister brought this cross made out of bailing wire while vacationing in California.

Play reading Tuesday By KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s called “The Actor’s Nightmare.� And, as actor’s nightmares go, it’s probably the worst. After all, can YOU imagine being ushered onto the stage when you don’t know any of the lines? That’s the case with George in this short comic play by Christopher Durang. He is mistaken for an actor’s understudy after the leading actor breaks both legs. And he’s forced to perform in a play for which he doesn’t know any of the lines. To make matters worse, he doesn’t know how he got backstage. He’s not sure his name is George. And he’s not even sure he’s an actor—he thinks he’s an accountant. What’s more he can’t even get a straight answer as to whether they’re staging Noel Coward’s “Private Lives,� Samuel Beckett’s “Checkmate� or Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.� The hour-long play will be the focus of a free play reading at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum.

mentary wine and cookies will be served. The play will star Claudia McCain, Charlotte Hemmings, her brother Will Hemmings and Ben Flandro. The director is Jon Kane. “As a new voice in the theater world, Christopher Durang has become one of our favorite playwrights. Everything he writes is dark and incredibly funny,� said Kane. “This one is beautifully written and it’s very clever this world he’s created.� tws

Lifeworks Chiropractic re-opens Lifeworks Chiropractic is now reopened after nearly four months of being closed. They are introducing Dr. M. Royce Brunette, D.C., to the Wood River Valley to take over as director and new owner of Lifeworks Chiropractic. Dr. Wade Port, D.C., the original owner, served the Valley for over six years with CafÊ of Life and renamed the clinic Lifeworks Chiropractic in 2009. Dr. Port has moved to Georgia with his wife to start their family. Dr. Brunette and his wife Sherry are now available to offer care in Lifeworks’ beautiful office in the Camas building

(200 W. River St., Ste. 302, Ketchum.) Dr. Brunette graduated from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, Calif., and has served as a chiropractor for the last five years in the Pacific Coast region. He is an active member of his family, church, and community. Sherry Brunette, CMT, adds, “I am so excited to be joining my husband at Lifeworks Chiropractic. It is my goal to work as a massage therapist, health educator, and chiropractic assistant to provide customized care in a supportive environment where education and people skills will contribute to a mutually successful goal.�

Local youth rally to Just Bag It! This Thursday, April 21, youth from across the Valley will volunteer to educate the public about the implications of plastic bag use, and to help distribute 2000 reusable bags to the community. The Wood River High School Environmental Club has been working extensively to reduce or eliminate the use of plastic bags in the Valley. Their involvement began last year during the first Just Bag It! campaign, when they hosted information tables at the partnering stores. Two students, Chase England and Lex Shapiro, then went on to design the winning logo for the program. This Thursday, April 21, they will be joined by students from St. Luke’s YAK! and The Sage School, as well as city employees, for the second annual Just Bag It! celebration. Elizabeth Jeffrey, who has coordinated this project since last year, has been delighted with the opportunity to partner with youth on this initiative. “It’s been wonderful to work with the high school environmental club on this environmental issue. They’re so quick, smart and enthused, and they recognize that the actions taken today are going to make a difference throughout

Got news?

their lives and beyond.� Just Bag It! is a part of the Hailey Co2mmunity Climate Challenge, which is funded by a three-year grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to the city of Hailey. Partners in this year’s program, Albertsons, Atkinsons’ and King’s, will be leaving their single-use plastic bags in the back and offering a free reusable shopping bag to their first 1,000 customers on Thursday, April 21. These durable bags are made from 100 percent recycled plastic bottles and are water repellent for easy cleaning. The student volunteers will complement these efforts by reminding shoppers to grab their own bags from their cars, educating the public on the importance of plastic bag waste reduction, and engaging shoppers in a penny pledge. By making a commitment to shop with reusable bags, communities can reduce local litter and landfill problems while reducing the need for the oil, manufacturing and transportation of both plastic and paper shopping bags.

Sawtooth Fish Hatchery reports Steelhead season is in full swing

Steelhead season is in full swing. The fish are here in numbers and the bite is on. The average catch rate is four hours per fish—it really doesn’t get any better than that! Overnight temps continue to be in the teens to twenties, so we have clear, moderately low water; again, perfect for steelhead fishing! Daytime highs are in the high forties—typical steelhead weather. The Hatchery has trapped 1,436 steelhead as of April 7, 2011.

Rites of Spring Nobody told the flowers to come up nobody will ask them to leave when spring’s gone -IKKYU By BALI SZABO

T

his is a fun time of year. The looming threat of darkness is woven into our wisest voices, into our soul. While we speculate about or wish for that final light, basically, I’ll settle for the light of spring. Even if it is mostly overcast, as this and others have been, the plants and the birds, the rushing streams, don’t care as much. The living are making plans. Spring’s optimism overwhelms the more contentious aspects of emergence and cosmic creativity. Society, like the stock market, climbs the wall of worry, at least sometimes. Certainly mankind has done that so far. It’s easy to wallow in our own, or the world’s, troubles. I’ve said this before, that the one great thing about America is our collective ability to create ways of having fun. We can make entertainment out of anything. If life is ‘short and brutish,’ let’s make it fun, put a Starbucks in a funeral parlor. Over the last few years, there’s been a lot of talk about the ‘end times,’ the coming Apocalypse, and it’s not just from Christians. Everyone’s doing it, so it must be true, and, for the same reason, false. Is this collective consciousness at work? Are we like the elephants of Aceh, heading for high ground ahead of the tsunami? I feel like I’m back in the ‘60s. Suddenly, the 2012 bunker mentality is everywhere. The fear of Al Qaeda has been replaced by Doomsday, and a lot of people are laughing all the way to the bank. Fear sells. The survivalist

business is booming. Web sites selling all manner of trinkets and supplies are up and running. Space is being reserved in walled, secret, armed compounds for $100,000 and up. People are being sold a need. Snake oil salesmen and politicians have been doing that for centuries. The Sci-Fi Channel can’t mint enough new disaster shows. The same people who are bringing us 2012 (Jose Arguelles) brought us the Harmonic Convergence in the ‘80s. I was about to have one of those with the opposite sex when she trumpeted the ‘big event.’ I called her a New Age dreamer. I never had a door slammed in my face faster. The truth shall set you free. In the Habitat, I take my cue from nature’s biota. I blindly engender and honor life, the will to live. The crocuses are up, and it’s time to get to work, though it’s kind of hard wearing a sandwich board that says, ‘The end is near.’ Gardening can be entertainment, especially if it’s orchestrated, as so many are. We can easily plan for bees, hummingbirds and butterflies, put up birdhouses, see lots of color, hear and see the buzz of life. Nice walkways, a rose trellis, little ponds and bridges, magazine-perfect for ambience and relaxation. Nature as a diorama, a presentation, more Rousseau that wild. Hey, it’s better than the dump. We build dreams to improve on reality. In this case, better you than me. tws

All relationships involve compromise. The healthiest ones strike a mutually agreed-upon balance between personal interests and the greater good. The full moon in Libra at the top of the week sheds light on relationships and focuses in on what is fair and unfair about them. With Mercury retrograde and Mars and Saturn in opposition, solutions may not come naturally or easily, but for those willing to put in the work, they will come. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The effort you expend carrying out responsibilities and tending to the wishes of others takes you far away from your original intention. When the voice of your inner will is a distant echo, it means it’s time to remember why you started this journey in the first place and make your way back. Listen inwardly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are very strong. The only problem with this is that you don’t know your own strength and have made comments that assess your strength inaccurately. Say no more on the matter. You will be offered challenges, and you will find it rewarding to take them on. You will learn that there is more to you.

Invite Thousands of People to eat off your good china!

(throuGh JuNE 20, 2011)

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week, you’ll gain greater levels of self-control. It’s time to tell your “id� who’s boss. Coming from your higher mind, set an unusual short-term goal for yourself -- like eating only green foods or speaking strictly in the most positive terms. Tell yourself it’s just for one day -- not very long. You can do anything for one day. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Things are changing in an organization, and your whole group is affected. Imitative and rulebound behavior used to be an asset in this environment. Now this is precisely the mindset that will sink the ship. Get creative. Innovation is what’s needed, and you’re just the one to shake things up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will perpetuate your reputation as an exciting force as you engineer a dramatic change. You’ll put a fun twist in the way you approach a friendship or manage a responsibility. You’ll call for a different kind of participation than is usually required. It’s premeditated to some degree, and yet you also improvise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your courage ebbs and flows this week. Just remember that the fear of rejection is practically universal. That’s why people admire those who are willing to put themselves on the line. Most people want to say “yes.� So have the chutzpah to ask for what you want. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People who say that “it never hurts to ask� are not taking into account what happens after the question leaves the lips. There’s a risk involved. Emotions hang in the balance. And yes, there is the potential for hurt. Taking this into account, you won’t “ask� until the moment feels absolutely right. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your awareness of what people need and want helps you predict the next big thing. Also, you know when it benefits you to ride a trend and when it isn’t. These talents will be put to good use this week, especially since some

of your friends and colleagues are so clueless about pop culture and the state of the arts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). A past letdown has influenced you to view your present circumstance in a less than helpful way. This week, you’ll rethink and rewrite your history. It was always your opinion of what happened that mattered anyway -- and that’s something you can change. Your new fantastic attitude will make you lucky. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know yourself. It has taken a long time to get to this point, and you’ve earned the feelings of satisfaction and confidence that come with the territory. Furthermore, you may realize that you’re not the least bit worried about what anyone else thinks of you. You are freedom personified. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve held a certain unfulfilled dream for a long time, and now you’re wondering whether you might be happier if you were to just give it up. The answer is no -- this is no time to bail on your wishes. But it is time to come at them from a different angle. Brainstorm alternative approaches to making your dreams come true. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Observe your own behavior instead of judging it. You are who you are, and you’re doing your best. You may feel that you’re stuck with certain people or circumstances, and you may be right, more or less. But when you surrender to the reality of your current situation, you’ll see what’s absolutely great about it. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: No human has seen an atom, but many have witnessed the enormous power harnessed inside of it. This year helps you realize that you have an invisible power inside of you, much greater than you ever knew. Social fun is featured in May. You’ll add new members to your team through the next 10 weeks. Shifts in your spending patterns allow you to reach a financial goal in July. You’ll be awarded in September. You’ll travel in December. tws

Along the way the two lead birds are kidnapped by poachers and must survive a couple of hairy moments during their adventure ride. The movie runs on an inspired Brazilian score and huge swatches of explosive color and dance sequences. It must be difficult to create movies that can be attractive to all age groups but Rio succeeds and that is a testament to its craft and design. tws

to see the movie in its intended 3D, it still had plenty of pop and sizzle and a lot of crazy dancing birds to keep you entertained. And although I am not the target audience for the film, the very, very young ones that attended the screening I was at enjoyed every minute of it, howling with delight throughout much of it. The film is brought to you by the studios that created the Ice Age trilogy and is directed by the man responsible for two of the films—Carlos Saldanha, who is also a native of Rio—which gives the film its beautiful backdrop. The story has a couple of plots running through it but the main one has a rare blue macaw (Blu), who travels from Minnesota to Brazil to mate with the

Energy healing – self-care By VEE RILEY

H

eading south on Highway 75 after my unexpected visit to St. Luke’s Hospital in Ketchum, I sat in my seat and reflected on the surgeon’s skilled hands and the amazing procedure that had replaced my fractured hip bone. At that moment I knew that for the next few months it would be up to me with awareness and focused attention to continue the healing process. My knowledge of the subtle body began with a workshop on the chakras in the late ‘70s in Santa Barbara, Calif. This was new to me at the time but in today’s world there are many CDs, online courses, etc., to gain more information. The chakra system is based on an East Indian philosophy. The word chakra means “wheel of energy” and these vortices are located along the spine. If they are open and flowing, there is a sense of well-being. If blocked, the cells and organs fail to function properly. In the workshop that I attended, we learned to sense and feel the energy level in another person’s chakra and balance it when blocked. It was all about working above the body, which is done in Healing Touch and Reiki. Each chakra resonates with a musical note and is associated with a color. I will give a brief description of each chakra. The first chakra, located at the base of the spine, is known as the “root” chakra. This represents your vital force and your physical connection to the earth.

COURTESY ART

The color is red and the musical note in the key of C. The second chakra, located in the abdominal area, is about relationships, being present and movement. The color is orange and the musical note in the key of D. The third chakra, located in the solar plexus, is related to being centered, with the ability to make clear decisions. The color is yellow and the musical note in the key of E. The fourth chakra, the heart, balances all of the other chakras. This represents unconditional love and is sometimes the most painful to balance, as it means giving up attachments. The color is green and the musical note, F. The fifth chakra is located in the throat area and is about speaking one’s truth. This is also difficult for most people. The color is blue and resonates with

the musical note G. The sixth, or brow chakra, is about clarity, or seeing the truth clearly. It is about vision and our dreams. The color is indigo and the musical note, A. The seventh chakra, or crown chakra, is about completion and wholeness. If balanced, you are happy with who you are. The color is violet and the musical note is in the key of B. It is well worth it to take the journey along the spine and become the person you were meant to be. It takes daily practice and meditaion to become whole. tws

ing and surcharging, so there are companies who maintain an underwriting/rating philosophy of three years uniformly in all states. That’s a company preference. Commercial policies do tend to be rated based more on overall claim experience compared to premiums paid in over a threeto-five-year period of time. Businesses paying large premiums, but having small claims along the way, are more acceptable, obviously, than if the reverse is true. For my money, the best ruleof-thumb advice I can give is, if a loss is going to impose on your standard of living and make hardship on your budget for any length of time, turn the claim in. It is what it is and that’s why you bought the insurance. In the case of a personal policy other than a windshield or towing claim, if damages are financially manageable within your current budget, I just personally think you’re better to pay it yourself than you are to make a claim. You never know what the next week, month or year will bring—no claims are better than one and one claim is better than tws two, if you get my drift.

Sowersby’s Insurance

ith the River Run side of the mountain closing, we could’ve been relegated to the Challenger Lift and Warm Springs this week. But, thankfully, Sun Valley decided to serve up Christmas in April and run the Christmas Chair for the remainder of the season. That means Christmas Ridge, Christmas Bowl, Blue Grouse, Cutoff, Upper River Run, Upper holiday and Rock Garden will be open, in addition to the Warm Springs side of the mountain. Sadly, The Bowls have finally closed despite being covered with a bountiful crop of snow as we head toward May. Lower Warm Springs and Lower Greyhawk have offered some of the best early-morning skiing the past couple days, with the Christmas side of the mountain being firmer and a little marbly. That’s likely to change q uickly, however, as the sunbeams and temperatures rise. Baldy is closing out the season with Baldy BOGO (Buy One Get One) Day on Sunday. That is, buy one lift ticket and get the second free. That’s $57 for two adult tickets, $45 for two senior tickets (65 and over) and $35 for two kids tickets (under 12). There’ll be drink specials, snow volleyball and live music at the base of Warm Springs Lodge. And the best costume wins a 20-day season pass for the 2012 ski season. Costumed snow lovers should present themselves at the Warm Springs Lodge SnowSports School Desk between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Skiers and snowboarders are encouraged to set up for a massive tailgate party in the Greyhawk Parking Lot—something some enterprising skiers already

Spring SpecialS Tom Pina, a retired law enforcement officer from Monterey, Calif., has been on hand through snow and sun outside River Run Lodge this winter, rescuing damsels in distress, hauling guests’ skis back and forth and greeting folks with his big teddy bear-like grin. Alas, it’ll be seven months before you can get a Tom Pina fix, now that Sun Valley closed the River Run side of the mountain. If you can’t wait until Baldy reopens next Thanksgiving, you’ll have to chase Pina down on a tractor on the Camas Prairie this summer. Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/TWS

started on Monday. The Blaine County Recreation District groomed the cross-country trails north of Ketchum for the last time this season on Sunday after an absolutely magnificent day. But that doesn’t mean there still isn’t plenty of good classic and skate skiing to be had. The trails are still well covered with snow, except for a couple spots here and there on the southern stretch of the Harriman Trail. And the freezethaw cycle seems to be smoothing tracks out overnight so it’s like skiing on a fresh canvas by mid-morning each day. Rec District Director Jim Keating said this was the longest season grooming-wise anyone can remember. The Rec District

started parking northernmost trails the week before Halloween and had nearly the entire system open by Thanksgiving. Fifty percent more people participated in the Nordic Festival this year. “We have the same opportunity for mountain biking as Nordic,” he said. “It doesn’t have a lot of awareness outside our community.” Interestingly, snowboarder Chris Leman compared a picture of his West Ketchum yard taken last April 17 with what it looked like this April 17. And he has far less snow in his yard this year, even though there’s such an abundance of snow remaining on Baldy and the North Valley Trails. tws

Christians: Are you really following Christianity? It’s time you check yourself. Are you following the teachings of Jesus or the deceptions of man? You’re told you are saved by your faith, but it is actually saved IF you follow the faith. (MAT 7:20-27). You are told to involve yourself in politics, yet Jesus says this is what corrupts your soul (Luk 8:11-15). “You’re told your “works” don’t count. Jesus says you are judged upon your works. (MAT 25:30-46 - 2Cor 5:10 - Rev. 22:12-15). Paul was concerned he would be found unworthy. (1 Cor 9:24-27) You’re told all are worthy. Don’t be misled. Read the truth yourself in the New Testament. We’re warned many will lose their salvation by wrong teaching. (2 Pet 3:13-18). Don’t let it be you. For free, searchable Bibles to download visit:

To enhance the recreational use of public lands by the disabled, the Bureau of Land Management today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Disabled Sports USA. Recognizing the enormous value of promoting public-private partnerships that encourage people with disabilities to use public lands, the MOU creates a cooperative framework for programs and activities designed to increase the recreational use of public lands by disabled veterans and others with permanent disabilities. Under the MOU, the BLM and Disabled Sports USA will work together to promote outdoor recreation participation on public lands and foster health and fitness, independence, and social integration for veterans and other persons with disabilities. The benefits of participating in recreational activities—such as skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, sailing, and whitewater rafting—are proven to enhance individuals’ self-confidence, physical and mental well-being, and their quality of life.

Urban Renewal – Part III By JIMA RICE

S

everal readers liked previous Ahead of the Curve columns on how urban renewal works. Since the topic is still hot and it has many tentacles, I’m offering a third helping of information. First, the reprise: Urban renewal programs were started in the mid-1940’s to improve blighted areas in inner cities. The idea was to designate and prepare undesirable areas for housing, economic development, and job creation through collaborative public and private investment. Urban renewal continues today, with variations on the original theme, typically run by a municipality’s Urban Renewal Agency (URA). In Idaho, the cities of Sandpoint, Eagle, Coeur-d’Alene, Twin Falls, Rexburg, Ketchum, and others, have URAs; commissioners are usually a mix of elected officials and experts in community affairs. URAs are beneficial when used properly, but get bad press for often abusing their expansive powers. The ultimate criterion is whether a URA’s projects benefit a municipality’s economic growth/job creation in the long run, or benefit an individual’s or group’s private interests in the short and/or long run. News reports describe positive achievements, big and small, by URAs: • Brownfield sites have been cleaned up and transformed into successful mixed-use developments. Denver redeveloped an ASARCO site into a commercial center with 1 million plus, square feet of commercial space for businesses. • The Detroit International Riverfront project restored its polluted riverway into a 5½-mile stretch that includes a wildlife park, restaurants, retail shops, and residences. • Sandpoint has built sidewalks and, as money accrues, looks to extend the Sandcreek Boardwalk and rehabilitate a former mill site for mixed-use. • Driggs has built a sewer line interceptor, made downtown parking lot improvements, and buried power lines. Negative publicity has come from projects that tilt toward benefitting private developers, rather than a municipality as a whole:

• Coeur d’Alene asked a developer to add brick walls (cost = $400,000) to his project, then reimbursed the developer with URA funds (plus interest). • A Palm Desert RDA spent nearly $17 million revamping a municipal golf club that was already one of the best golf locales in the U.S. • Sinclair Company sought blight designation for its 28-acre parcel in downtown SLC where it built a Grand America hotel for the Olympics. The designation was fought by one flower shop owner facing demolition until Sinclair gave up as the Olympics approached – ultimately foregoing its hoped-for millions in URA monies and tax breaks. • Tax diversions cost Denver schools $15.4 million and other city services $10.9 million. The varying complaints about URAs are that they divert money from other taxing districts, impose their own vision of an area on local citizens, promote development that would have taken place in any case, pass developer risks onto taxpayers who must cover bond defaults should they occur, and encourage developers to invest only where a URA exists. In the worst cases, URAs subsidize developments that benefit a (usually wealthy) private party who ends up with the long-term appreciating asset while the public makes bond payments over time that, with interest, are double or triple what the bonds originally sold for. Factors that point toward successful URA activities include whether a municipality’s economy is strong enough to make an investment in light of the risks, whether the public is involved in URA decision-making from A to Z, the preparation of an accurate and detailed URA analysis of a project’s long-term risks and return on investment to the community, an objective set of measurement criteria for deciding whether a project is acceptable or not (including the ROI analysis), and transparent behavior that adheres to the intent of urban renewal codes. Just about any URA project can be evaluated according to these criteria, given access to the relevant documents and time to do the research. tws

un Valley is beginning to get some soul with its snow. The 30-member Hallelujah Chorus, led by Patty ParsonsTewson, absolutely wowed a packed house at the nexStage Theatre Friday night as they rambled through a number of black gospel songs. It didn’t hurt that they had such an able songstress as Yves Evans of Sacramento. And the Boise State University Meistersingers, who proved every bit as polished and entertaining as the Broncos football team. But there were some surprising solo performances, as well, from those we’ve never seen under the spotlight—singers like Dartha Riviera and Cody Parsons “It was unreal,” said Kathy Jones. Meanwhile, the Wood River Community Orchestra just keeps getting btter and better with every outing. The 30-member orchestra performed two very entertaining concerts with selections ranging from “March of the Gladiators” to “Theme from Batman,” featuring conductor Andy Lewis banging it out on the drums. One of the concerts included an illustrious guest, Alasdair Neale, himself the conductor of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. And performances by jazz pianist Paul Tillotson and 9-yearold violinist Elvis Gonzalez only added to the performances. Kathy Jones, who certainly got her fill of culture over the

weekend, had plenty of praise for the orchestra, as well. “They remind me of what used to be the Elkhorn Summer Symphony when it started out with about 20 musicians 25 years ago,” she said. “And now it’s the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.” tws

pirit ‘n Motion Athletic School’s (SMAS) two older teams both won National Championships in their divisions at Nationals in Salt Lake City, Utah in March. It was the American Championships—American Celebration Nationals. Nine Silver Stars in the Mini (ages 6-8) level one team competed against 9 teams and tied for first place. Ten Black Diamonds who competed in the Junior (ages 14 and under) Level 2 division were the National Champions in their division as well. They had to compete twice to win the title. They were in second place after the first round, and took the title after the match play round against the leading first place team, to win the Championship. It was such an amazing experience. All the kids got gold medals, and a National Champions jackets, as well as a huge team plaque and

a National Champions Banner that will hang in the SMAS gym. This is a first for SMAS in six years to win two National Champion titles. Director and head coach Amanda Norton said, “We are so proud of our kids who work so hard. They practice 2-3 days a week all year, perfecting their skills and their 2.5 minute routine.” The Green Emeralds tiny team (all 5 years old), took 4th place in their division against 8 teams as well. See the teams in action during a demonstration at SMAS at 6:30 p.m. on May 2. Additionally, new teams are forming. Competitive Cheer info meeting will be Monday, April 25 at 6:45 p.m. No experience necessary, all ages welcome from 3-18. Teams are made age/skill appropriate.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, As a former member of my college marching band, I was well prepared when my daughter wanted to play an instrument in school. I just didn't realize she would keep changing instruments. First, she played the flute so she could sit with her friends in band. Then she switched to the clarinet to sit near the boy she liked. Fortunately, I had experience with both instruments, so I found a good deal on them used. Now however, she wants to take up the electric guitar in hopes of becoming a rock star. I'd like to give her the opportunity to learn the instrument, but the only thing I know about guitars is that they have five strings. Can you guys give me the 411 on guitars and help this former band-geek Dad look cool!

Cash: We can help you learn

about guitars, but as a "band-geek Dad" you're on your own to try and look cool. Carry: And unless you plan on buying your daughter a banjo, your first lesson is that guitars have six strings, not five. Cash: Now unless your daugh-

ter plans to begin her career on stage, almost any basic electric guitar and amplifier will do for her to learn chord progressions. If she improves and wants to stay with the instrument, you can begin shopping for a higher quality guitar. That should give you some time to tune your knowledge. Carry: There are many types and styles of electric guitars, but the most important detail for your daughter at this point would be that she likes the style of the guitar. That way, she'll be more excited to practice. Cash: Although there are many considerations when buying a quality guitar, for now you simply need to make sure everything

works and that the neck of the guitar is not warped in any way. Have someone tune the guitar for you and strum it for a few minutes to see if it holds its tune. As a former musician, you'll be able to hear any difference. Carry: As for buying an amplifier, a simple practice unit should suffice, something that is about 15 watts. Some models even have headphone jacks, a valuable option since your daughter is learning and will need to practice for hours at home. Cash: With any luck your daughter will be a rock star in no time. Then, you simply need to worry about her bringing home her drummer boyfriend!

Buying a used acoustic guitar has more advantages than simply saving money. String instruments like acoustic guitars are believed to improve their sound with age, making older styles sought after by professionals. As a guitar gets older, the stiffness of the wood changes, as well as the hardening of the resin used to create it. However, more than simply age, the constant vibration of a well-played guitar is believed to alter the wood, creating an instrument with richer tones than the original.

Encore

Most music teachers will tell you to practice, practice, practice, but one musician has taken his playing time to a new level. In May 2010, Guillermo Paolisso Terraza from Argentina played for over 100 hours straight to break the world record for the longest guitar-playing marathon. Guillermo's hit the triple digit mark while performing during a benefit concert to support earthquake victims in Chile. And it's not his first time either. He has beaten the world record 5 times, most recently trumping an Indian guitarist who played for 72 hours. •

Reader Humor Practice Makes Perfect

For months I've listened to our neighbor's son practice his trumpet outside their house. His playing has yet to improve. So when my daughter took interest in learning the clarinet, I saw it as an opportunity to get even. One afternoon when I couldn't tolerate the squeaks and squeals of her practicing in the house, I encouraged her to try playing outside on the front porch. It was only a few minutes before the neighbors called and talked to my wife. I whispered to her while she was on the phone, "Are they complaining about the noise?" To my dismay she replied, "No. They want to send their son over to practice with her!" (Thanks to Jerry D.)

510 thank you notes Profuse thanks to Lindy Stark and everyone else there at Bellevue’s The BrickHouse; the food, drinks, atmosphere and music were always superb!! And much like another greatly missed/now-shuddered Valley eatery (Papa Hemi’s Hideaway), Stark & co. were unceasing champions of live music -- both for established bands and musicians (Kim Stocking, The Swampcats, Old Death Whisper, etc), as well as a lot of up-and-comers (Sheryll Mae Grace, The Branches, Good Ju-Ju, Cow Says Mooo) whom many other Valley venues wouldn’t turn over a stage to. Lots of great memories where the BH is concerned -- but also now a lot of sadness, too... **16**

518 raves Irregardless of how this whole mostly silly and self-centered, histrionics-driven URA debate shakes out in Ketchum (and for the record, I DO want Starbucks to move into that new SV Road location, ‘cuz the LAST thing this town needs is YET ANOTHER business space languishing EMPTY for several years or more!!!), I want to praise/thank everyone who works at the Ketchum Starbucks ... particularly Sarah, who’s always been a radiant beacon of unceasing energy, optimism and hope there (even when her own personal life was sometimes suffering its share of

verrrrry challenging times). Employees like her (and the others there) deserve A LOT better than to suddenly find themselves UN-employed ‘cuz of a lot of extremely narrow-minded and short-sighted city politics, and incredibly self-serving business-owner cliques!!!! Try thinking OUTSIDE of the box for a change.... **16** I saved over 60% with IdahoGunBroker.com . Thanks Bill! **21** Have something nice to say? Don’t keep it to yourself.
