The Hailey Memorial Day Ceremony Looks for Sponsors to Support This Year’s Flyover
BY MAGGIE SPRINGER, FOR THE WEEKLY SUN
T
he Hailey Memorial Day Ceremony Committee is looking for sponsors for a flyover of the 2013 Hailey Memorial Day ceremony. Due to budget cuts, the military will be unable to provide a flyover this year. The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa has said they will provide a flyover of the ceremony using two P-51 vintage WWII aircraft, one being the P-51C Mustang, called the “Boise Bee,” the other a P-51D Mustang. Unlike the military flyovers that were free, a flyover by the Museum does require a donation to them to cover fuel and museum costs. The donation to the museum is tax deductible and the total donation is $2,500. Both U.S. Air Force and Idaho Air National Guard have done flyovers of the Hailey Memorial Day ceremony for the last six years. Organizers continue to strive to receive a flyover every year because it is ultimately the highest honor that can be shown to a fallen soldier. Having a flyover of the ceremony helps to honor the nearly 400 Hailey veterans laid to rest at the Hailey Cemetery and the over 60 men and women from Idaho who have passed away during conflict since 2001. Organizers are doing everything they can to retain the flyover of the ceremony so that we may continue to show respects to all those who’ve served so selflessly and are now laid to rest here. This year will be the 10th annual ceremony and organizers are striving to make it the most honorable yet. This year’s theme, “More Than a Name,” is focused on the Vietnam era. The ceremony will be dedicated in honor of SP4 Gary Boushele, one of four men born in Blaine County who was killed in action during Vietnam. There will be members of four out of the five military branches participating, providing such duties as keynote speaker, emcee, Color Guard, wreathbearers, firing party, and much more. If you’re interested in being a sponsor, please contact Maggie Springer for more information at 208-309-1959. tws
STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
hey said it couldn’t be done when Earl Holding proposed a giant picture window in River Run Lodge looking out on Baldy. Holding didn’t pay them any mind. Using his own engineering skills, he figured out how to use steel covered with logs to achieve what he wanted. Sun Valley owner R. Earl Holding died in Salt Lake City Friday night at the age of 86. But not before propelling himself into one of the richest, most successful men in America with his vision and hard work. In the process, he transformed Sun Valley into a world-class resort. “Earl Holding has given us so much to work with,” said Mark Thoreson, who attends ski shows around the country touting Sun Valley’s high-speed quads, extensive snowmaking and long ski runs. “Selling Sun Valley is easy. I can’t imagine representing a ski area that doesn’t have the backing he’s given us. He brought a solidness to the community.” Sun Valley was not the stuff of glass chandeliers from Milan and handwoven wool carpets from England when Earl and his wife Carol purchased the resort for $12 million in 1977. The resort had closed a month earlier than usual, thanks to the most disastrous snow year in history. Employees had to vote themselves a 20 percent pay cut because they couldn’t make payroll. And Disney executives, who had drawn up plans for an RV park on the site of the Sun Valley Gun Club, abruptly broke off negotiations to purchase Sun Valley after two years, leaving Sun Valley residents wondering what the future held. In stepped Holding who decided to check out the resort after his wife Carol spotted a small article in the Wall Street Journal about Disney’s interest in Sun Valley. Wally Huffman, who would later become general manager of the resort under Holding, spent three days showing the Holdings the resort. The property had depreciated to the point where bathtubs in the inn had worn through to black cast iron and snowmelt ran down the fireplace at the lodge apartments. Huffman learned he had a new boss
Carol Holding, Earl’s wife of 64 years, spoke for her husband during the ribbon cutting for the gondola a few years ago. She once said she cut short her husband’s lucrative poker playing career because, she said, he shouldn’t be taking other people’s money.
when Holding instructed him to have a crew throw away the mattresses and furniture in the employee dorm. “He was so disgusted by the conditions there,” Huffman recalled.” I excused myself to call (then owner) Mr. Janss and apprise him of what was going on. Bill told me, ‘If I were you, I would do what he tells you.’ That’s when I found out Sun Valley had been sold.”
“Hero” is a four-letter word, too
No one had a clue what this intensely private man with a shock of white hair and steely blue eyes would do. Rumors flew that the new Mormon owners would close the bars, bring in college kids from Brigham Young University to run the resort and install diesel pumps in front of the lodge. Holding quickly established his handson management style. He had employees, managers included,

plant 7,000 spruce, aspen and birch trees on the then-bare Sun Valley Golf Course and around the Sun Valley Mall. He roamed the fields in his trademark Norwegian sweater like a general, pointing out where he wanted each tree planted. “Work is God’s gift to man, and God is generous.” Holding told them as he started introducing employees to “The Gospel According to Earl Holding.” Even though he did not ski when he bought Sun Valley, he and Carol learned how. It took just a few short lessons for him to realize how much the resort needed snowmaking to steel it against low snow years. He hired the best snowmaking company in the world to install snow guns. Then he suggested ways to improve their system so his wife would not turn black and blue falling on the ice that snowmaking systems tended to pump out in those days.

BCRD Invites Community to Open House Regarding Proposed Trail Rehab Project The Blaine County Recreation District will hold public information Open House regarding the proposed Wood River Trail Rehabilitation Project. The Open House is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Wednesday April 24 at the YMCA in Ketchum. The purpose is to provide the public with information, including proposed project planning details, maps of the project as well as an opportunity to better understand the need and scope of the Wood River Trail Rehabilitation Project. BCRD staff and a board member will be on hand to answer questions following a brief presentation. The Wood River Trail is a multi-
use, non-motorized recreational path that connects the communities of the Wood River Valley. With the path approaching its 30-year life span, the BCRD Board of Directors passed a resolution calling for a special levy election to be held May 21, 2013, for an additional two-year levy to reconstruct, resurface and rehabilitate the Wood River Trail to restore its useful life for another 30 years. For more information about the proposed rehabilitation project, please join the scheduled Open House. You can also find more detailed information at www.bcrd.org.

Szabo Talks Reviews Sheryl Sandburg’s Best-Seller, Lean In
he “something old” and “something borrowed” traditions of wedding celebrations demonstrate how we depend on the friends and family who love us, and also express the optimism that the loved ones’ collected good fortune will infuse the happy couple’s future together. Since a healthy environment in which to live and to raise children is also key to that happy future, let’s consider the potential negative and positive impacts that weddings (and other large events) could have. Each one of the 2.5 million U.S. weddings this year is estimated to produce 62 tons of carbon dioxide and 400-600 pounds of garbage. Surprised? Consider all of the wedding paraphernalia: single-use dresses for the bride and attendants, chemically treated and imported flowers and foods, toxic makeup and skin care products, mined gem and gold-based jewelry, gifts that you don’t want or need, and multi-paged invitations with internal envelopes, to name a few. The majority of the carbon dioxide will come from the transportation to assemble the guests from near and far. These 2.5 million weddings will pour at least $40 billion into the U.S. economy. If a greenleaning couple would use this occasion to put their money where their mouth is, think of the huge boost to sustainable business. Come back here next week for some things you can do to green up your wedding. Have a question? Call the ERC at 208-726-4333 or e-mail tws reduce@ercsv.org.

What Happens After the Blue Bin
here is so much talk about recycling and how wonderful it is (and it is! Do it!) but do you know what happens to your paper, plastic and aluminum/tin once you drop it in your blue bin? The short answer is—it goes through a process and becomes new material on the other side. But one easy way to see what happens to our recycled material here in Blaine County is to take a trip to the Ohio Gulch Recovery Center. Lamar, Tim and Chris are friendly, knowledgeable and want to help you make the correct choices when recycling. They have a lot of information about what materials are accepted at the Recovery Center, and if you come across something we aren’t able to accept, our staff will point you in the right direction. They will happily give you a tour of the facility and demonstrate what happens to recycled products and where everything goes when it leaves Blaine County. Have a group? Call ahead to 7882351 and let them know you’re coming. Be sure and thank our hardworking crew and have fun taking a look at what happens to your products when you recycle! Save the dates! May 10th the ERC and Cox Communications have joined forces for a free day of electronics recycling and May 11th is the 19th annual ERC Clean Sweep. 5B Recycles will be in Hailey to answer your recycling questions.

‘Heartbreak Hill’ Challenge ‘Please come to Boston in the springtime… you can sell your paintings on the sidewalks...’ —Dave Loggins, 1974 STORY & PHOTOS BY BALI SZABO
T
hese days, in these times, its not always easy, or even possible, to write about less important matters than the events of the last week. Those of us who have spent quality time in Boston find ourselves in a position to say something. Usually, we just complain about the suicidal drivers (Massachusetts has some of the highest auto-insurance rates in the country), the labyrinthine maze of streets, the endless construction and the inevitable corruption that accompanies it. Faced with the Boston Marathon bombing, those complaints wither in significance, and we realize how much we love this city, warts and all. It has a human scale, it is happy, alive, and chock full of college students who are the future, growing from the fertile academic compost of the present. It is not the decaying city. Grasping for straws, if there is a silver lining to this tragedy, it is the forming of positive bonds with New York City once and for all. This event will be an antidote to the superiority/inferiority and adversarially competitive cat-and-dog relationship between these two, and that’s healthy. While I do not seek solace or consolation, I wanted to go outside and sit in the Habitat to absorb the wisdom of life which plants and animals provide free of charge. Year after year I experience the wonderful resilience of nature, its undaunted positive energy, a testament to its will to live and regenerate after a bad year. The bulbs did terribly last year. This year they’re back with a vengeance. The Habitat will have its best spring color ever. I love the persistence of plants, their will not to be denied. They poke their heads out of the ground, regardless of what awaits them. ‘Bring it on!’ and, by and large, they are equal to the challenges. This will to live is also visible in birds, who have a much tougher time of it. The ones who migrate here successfully are creatures ennobled by their struggles. They survived all the roadblocks erected by humanity and nature, both of which are unkind. Do they even know that they passed through a hazing gauntlet just to get here? No matter how often we project anthropomorphic values and behavior paradigms on nature, she just shrugs it off. Its saving grace is its lack of self-consciousness. Nature truly lives ‘in the moment’—this is its nurture. If plants and animals are expected to adjust, or else, so are we. We need to be resilient and not allow a bad turn of events to defeat us, or to force us into a submission to fear. There’s a well-documented tendency for humans to succumb to fatigue brought on by a relentless series of events. Media saturation has a numbing effect. We stop caring. We can’t handle it anymore. Like a marathoner,

nexStage Stepping Into the Wardrobe BY KAREN BOSSICK
I
t’s the stuff kids dream of. Step through a door in the closet into a magical world. Into a magical world with a noble golden lion who epitomizes goodness and justice, no less. The nexStage Theatre will take theater audiences on that journey Thursday through Sunday when it presents “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.� C.S. Lewis’ classic tale, adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette, will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., in Ketchum. “It’s the perfect adventure where children travel to a foreign land, find trouble and strive to be part of the solution,� said Patsy Wygle, who is directing the show with her husband Keith Moore. “It’s a story of love, faith, courage, sacrifice—with good triumphing over evil. “And the nice thing for us is that you can include both adults and children in the telling,� she added. “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe� is the first of seven novels in Clive Staples Lewis’ series known as “The Chronicles of Narnia.� It revolves around four children who have been evacuated to the English countryside for their safekeeping during World War II. While staying with an eccentric professor, they go through the wardrobe door into Narnia, a land of talking animals and mythical dwarves who have been enslaved in eternal winter by the evil White Witch, who has made it “always winter, but never Christmas.� The children learn that the witch’s power will fail when two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve fill the four thrones in Narnia and they seek to fulfill this prophecy. And they encounter a great lion named Aslan, who has been absent for many years but is now willing to sacrifice his own life to save one
of the children’s. Lewis, a Christian apologist from Belfast, Ireland, is said to have had a fascination with anthropomorphic animals, creating a world inhabited and run by animals with his brother as a youngster. “I like that he has created a magical world where everything is possible,� said Sarah Rau, a 14-year-old who is double cast as Susan, one of the English girls who ends up being crowned Queen of Narnia. “It’s a great learning experience for a young, aspiring actor,� added 15-year-old Drake Vernoy, who portrays Fenris Ulf. “I love that I get to not be myself for a little bit.� The play stars Penelope Weekes and Marcella Fisher as Lucy, Jasper Mott and Griff Connelly as Edmund, Sarah Rau and Lindsay Morton as Susan, and Isaac Brannon and Logan Judd as Peter. Bill Nagel plays Aslan the Lion and Matt Gorby, Mr. Beaver. Prue Hemmings plays the White Witch and Lauren Sunday, Mrs. Beaver, while Jamie Wygle plays Tumnus. Others in the cast are Sophie Harder, Annabel Webster, Wyatt Root, Keith Moore, Drake Vernoy, Mason Corkutt, Mackenzie Ellison, Zane Lyon, Devon Peterson, Celeste Cortum, Airey Jones, Ella Higdon, Sonnet Gripkey, Lucca Vernoy, Wylie Zellers, Caroline Estep, Christine Estep, Indie Vernoy, Jessie Thomas, Liv Nelson and Curtis Hopfenbeck. Pamela Doucette designed the set. Charlotte Hemmings painted it. And K.O. Ogilvie provided the special effects and lighting. Tickets are $15 for kids and $20 for adults, available at 208-726-9124 and at the door. Reserved seating is $20 for kids and $30 for adults. Rico’s Pizza and Pasta is offering a 20 percent discount on meals for theater-goers who show their tickets or ticket stubs before and after the shows. tws

Two vocal groups from Wood River High School, the B-Tones, an all-male choir, and Colla Voce, an all-female choir, attended the World Strides Heritage Performance music festival on April 13th in Anaheim, California. The groups performed separately and also combined to form the mixed choir Morning Blend. They competed among over 2,600 students from around the United States. The B-Tones won a silver award, narrowly missing a gold award. Colla Voce won a gold award, and was in first place in its category, competing against schools with as many as 3,000 students. They also won the special judges’ award for excellence. Morning Blend won a gold award. Taylor Berntson, soloist with Colla Voce, was singled out for the special “Maestro� award.

Students, PTA, Local Artists Help With Earth Day ‘Art Attack’ at Hailey Elementary
Hailey Elementary School kids turned waste into garden art at an Earth Day ‘Art Attack’ on Monday, April 22 – Earth Day. The HES Parent-Teacher Association coordinated the after-school event, which encouraged creative reuse of materials – bottle tops, jar lids, plastic bottle lids – that are typically considered trash. The voluntary, after-school activity was held in front of the school. All HES kids (and parents) were invited. Some kids focused on developing a design; others drove a few colorful caps into the wooden creatures cut from scrap lumber. As the sounds of power drills and hammers subsided, whimsical garden creatures and flowers appeared. This was a “REUSE� art project designed to encourage people to rethink what they consider “trash.� HES students have been gathering clean
plastic lids of all sizes and colors (from milk, yogurt, drinks, etc.) and metal jar/bottle lids (including twist-off lids and bottle tops) for the past week for the project. Powerhouse restaurant also contributed bottle tops; and Clear Creek Disposal provided material collection carts for the project. Local artists Melissa Graves-Brown and Chris Brown (also parents of Hailey Elementary students) lent their creativity and artistic skills to the project. The garden art is expected to remain on display near the school entrance through the end of the year. Though most of these plastic and metal lids can be recycled in the local recycling program, reuse of materials is even better for the environment because costs and emissions from transportation, separation and processing are avoided by reusing these materials locally.

Kimball Bakes Up a Storm BY JONATHAN KANE
E
aston Kimball, Wood River High School junior, is on a mission to satiate everyone’s sweet tooth—everyone, that is, but herself. “I just don’t eat any of that type of food since I overhauled my whole diet a year ago. Right now I don’t eat any sugar, gluten or dairy. I just really love to bake but I don’t eat any of the things that I make and it’s changed my life. I got super sick once before travelling to Puerto Rico and I learned that I’ve got to be real careful with what I’m eating.� That doesn’t seem to be a problem with her friends or schoolmates who can’t wait to gobble up the treats that she is always serving up. “I think it’s really fun to experiment and to see what other people like.� It has also given her some firm footing for the future as she’d like to go to business school as a prep to open her own cupcake shop. “If that fails, I’ll bake away my sadness. I actually started baking in January because I was spurred on by the movie Bridesmaids. I just thought it would be really cool and it was something that I had only done as a kid
with my grandmother. I started work with box recipes but now I’ve moved on to cookbooks. I’m really trying to find what works. My family is totally Food Network junkies, so that might explain my interest. This year I joined the Culinary Academy at school and I’m learning all about nutrition. Some of the things that we are doing now can be strange, but I leave it to my brother to be my taste tester.� Kimball is a fairly recent citizen of the Valley with her family, moving here from Arizona her sophomore year. “We have family that lives here and we always visited and wanted to move here but never thought it would actually happen, until one day it did. We came from a city of 1 million so it was quite a culture shock at first. It’s just a lot more isolated here. Even when watching television there are so few news stories and it makes you feel like you live in a bubble. I was lucky to have met so many great people at first, probably because I was the new girl. But it’s so weird how the people you connected with and met first can then drift out of your life pretty quickly. The other thing
you have to deal with is that you have to drive an hour to shop and sometimes have to go three hours to find a face lotion that you want. Also, there aren’t rows and rows of chain restaurants here.� As to her future, Kimball says, “I really love it here but I think I’ll probably settle down in a city or near a city. I think there’s a lot to do here but you can always find stuff to do wherever you are.� You can always find anxious fans of your baking as well. tws Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student.

Getting a Sober Look at Teen Partying STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
teenage boy lay passed out on the floor, crumpled Tecate beer cans strewn around him. Several teens stood around the kitchen island cheering one another as he guzzled liquor through a beer bong made out of a tube and funnel. On the back patio a couple boys held another upside down over a keg as others pumped beer into him. Nearby, several other teens played beer pong, downing a shot of booze each time the other team dropped a ball in one of their cups. “Three in a row. She’s gonna feel it now,” exclaimed one boy. A dozen parents looked on, a few with ashen faces. The sobering scene was that of a Reality Party—a party staged to show parents what kinds of risks their kids might encounter at a party where underage drinking and drug consumption occurs. “I put my party on Facebook and more than a hundred people showed up—some a lot older than I. It got totally out of control, but I didn’t know what to do—I was scared,” one girl told them. Wave after wave of parents went from room to room in the house south of Bellevue, getting a glimpse of various scenarios that can occur. In a darkened bedroom on the second floor, one teenage girl lay passed out on the couch. “She’s out cold with her shoes on—fair game for pranks,” enthused one boy. “I said, ‘No,’” muttered one girl, sitting nearby. “I didn’t find out what I’d done until later at school,” said a boy.

olly Eloise Westmoreland was in a rush to make her debut. She was just shy of seven months in her mother’s womb when she was born on June 12. And—weighing in as she did at just 2 pounds, 3 ounces—her birth changed the tempo of life at the Westmoreland home in Hailey. “When we say she’s a milliondollar baby, we’re not exaggerating,� said Molly’s mother, Michelle Westmoreland. “Our hospital bills just from the day of her birth were $181,000. She spent 79 days in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She came home in August when she was 5 pounds. And then we just had another nineday hospital stay because she couldn’t tolerate her food. They performed surgery to wrap the upper part of her stomach and esophagus so she can’t vomit her food anymore.� Kyle and Michelle Westmoreland and their two sons Avery and Lanigan will participate in Saturday’s March for Babies in Boise. The march, under the umbrella of the March for Dimes, raises money for babies who are either born too soon or who are born sick. It also supports programs to help mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies. But the Westmorelands are taking it one step further. They and friends who have had premature babies have established a non-profit charity organization called J&M Preemies, which raises money for those who have a baby in NICU. And they’ll have a tent at the event, collecting donations. The charity, named after Mol-

ly Eloise and her preemie friend, Jaycee Lo, collects donations for the parents of newborn preemies in hopes of giving them a night out to provide a break from the monotony of the hospital routine. “Unless you’ve been there, you don’t know what it’s like,� said Michelle. “We want to provide them with a gift card, a massage. Something as simple as dinner out or a chance to get a cup of coffee can make your day or even your week.� Now a little older than nine months, Mary Eloise weighs 10 pounds—a little more than her brothers, who came into the world at 9 pounds, 7 ounces, and 8 pounds, 10 ounces. Her tongue hangs out—she can’t swallow. She has muscle weakness. She hasn’t walked yet. She doesn’t roll. She has never known life without a feeding tube through her nose and mouth. Her world is a living
room boasting IV bags hanging among teddy bears. But Kyle, who works at Rocky Mountain Hardware, and Michelle remain hopeful. And helpful. “It was so hard when she was born because we had two kids at home in Hailey and I had to be there,� Michelle said. “Even now, I have to be with her constantly because you have to be right on top of things. She has a button in her stomach that comes out and you have to know how to put it back in. She’s on five medications. She uses an oxygen tank. She goes to therapy four times a week where they use electrical probes to stimulate her nerves. “That’s why we want so bad to help other parents in this situation. We know what it’s like.� For more information, go to www.jmpreemies.com tws

School System Needs to Launch Sentiment War, Vollmer Says STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
J
amie Vollmer’s Great Big Western Ice Cream Company had been praised as having the best ice cream in America by both “People” and “Playboy” magazines. But when Vollmer told a group of schoolteachers how the company sent bruised blueberries back to the producers to ensure a quality product, the teachers were not impressed. “We can never send back our blueberries,” one teacher told him, likening blueberries to students. “We take them big, rich, poor, gifted, exceptional, abused, frightened, confident, homeless, rude and brilliant. We take them with ADHD, junior rheumatoid arthritis and English as their second language. And that’s why we’re not a business. We’re a school.” The statement forced Vollmer to rethink long-held beliefs about schools, including his belief that “If I ran my business the way you people operate your schools, I wouldn’t be in business very long.” It prompted him to spend a day in a classroom, where he spent 15 minutes inhaling lunch and cutting out paper pumpkins in the teachers’ lounge before heading out for playground duty and spending a warm afternoon in a room with eighth-graders so smelly he says he will go to his grave with the smell in his nostrils. It led him to pen a book titled “Schools Cannot Do It Alone.” And it led him to begin crisscrossing the country making presentations encouraging educators, business leaders and community groups to work together to build successful schools. Vollmer spoke to more than 400 educators Thursday at the 20th annual Idaho State Prevention and Support Conference, which addresses at-risk behavior and academic success. The twoday conference, sponsored by the Idaho State Liquor Division, National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, Idaho Department of Labor and others, was held at the Sun Valley Inn. We’re at a pivotal point in our country when it comes to education, Vollmer told the educators. Public school bashing has become a blood sport. Our have-it-your-way society is opting for charter schools. Trigger laws allow parents to decide what’s taught in the classrooms. Fewer than 25 percent of American taxpayers have children in school—they’re more concerned about healthcare, crime, Social Security and infrastructure. Too many people are afflicted with “nostesia’—that blend of nostalgia and amnesia that causes them to believe that today’s schools are dreadful compared with the temples of learning that they attended. Education is the whipping boy in the anti-tax, anti-government movement. And many are disen-
chanted that education can’t give them the jobs they once thought they’d get. Thomas Jefferson designed the blueprint for the public education system with the idea that it was to separate the genius from the rubbish, the learned from the working class, Vollmer said. “Today we must not only graduate every student but we have to fix the system so every single child finishes knowing what he needs to know,” he added. “If a child leaves unprepared, we have to take care of him or we have to live in fear of him the rest of our lives—desperate people are dangerous people.” Educators must come to grips with the differences in learning, Vollmer said. For instance, how can you sit a little boy who has been read to every night next to a little girl who has never even seen anyone read. “That little boy enters school understanding 10,000 more words than that little girl. How do you address that?” Vollmer said. Educators must also launch a ground war to reshape what people think about schools, Vollmer said. “ ‘It’s the right thing to do for these kids’ is not the best argument,” he added. “You have to say: ‘Help us because it’s good for you.’ A 78-year-old man doesn’t vote ‘No.’ He votes ‘Hell no’ because he doesn’t understand his quality of life is tied to what you do.” As student success rises, Vollmer explained, crime falls, property values rise because people want to live in those neighborhoods, businesses relocate there for the talent, the teen pregnancy rate falls and even hospital premiums fall because fewer people use the emergency room as a first resort. Ketchum resident Lyman Drake said he made a special trip to Coeur d’Alene last year to hear Vollmer speak: “I read Vollmer’s book a couple of years ago and found it very insightful—and powerful in its simplicity. It has had quite an impact on the thinking of the school district’s leadership, as well.”

movie review
The Heart of a Legend BY JONATHAN KANE
Jon rated this movie
S
ports bio-pics can be an interesting genre. They can be both effusive in their praise as well as leaning to the sappy. In the fine new baseball movie 42 we have neither of these extremes but, rather, the telling of one of the great sports stories of our time – the integration of Major League baseball by Jackie Robinson in 1947 as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. What makes the heart of the story so great is that it was not just about baseball but was also about the times and the large place racism played in the American psyche. The movie, written and directed by Brian Helgeland, is really the story of two men – Robinson as well as the legendary Branch Rickey, who signed him despite wide-scale opposition. Rickey is played superbly by Harrison Ford as a man with vision as well as a desire for increased revenues. When the movie opens in 1945 Ford tells his staff that he doesn’t know who he is but the first black player is on his
way to the major leagues. After a diligent search, he settles on Robinson, a four-sport star at UCLA and a commissioned officer in World War II, although he was court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of the bus. Ford states that because he played with whites at UCLA, he was the right choice and his temper would have to be contained in order to survive the abuse he was about to be assaulted with. As well as the great performance from Ford, we are treated to another great performance by Chadwick Boseman as Robinson. Basically an unknown, Boseman shines as the conflicted super star, embodying both the talent and resolve of the man. 42 hits all the right chords whether you are a baseball fan or indifferent to the sport. After all, it’s one of the great stories of our time. tws

The Ketchum Grill
H
oused in Ketchumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest remaining home (built in 1885), once owned by Ed Williams, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed dining there ever since I arrived here to live in this Valley in 1980. I remember it when it was Freddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (and for those who remember, indeed, what a delightful character he was!). In fact, Scott and Anne Mason, owners and chefs extraordinaire of The Ketchum Grill, recently traveled to France and paid a visit to Freddy and his wife, Germaine. According to Scott, Freddie is now 90 and, though somewhat physically disabled, still full of spunk. Freddy was an important part of Scott and Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey here to our Valley because it was in 1988 that an ad had been placed in the San Francisco Chronicle advertising a much-needed chef at Freddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ketchum restaurant. That caught the Masonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eye. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother was living in Ketchum at that time and Scott and Anne wanted to exit the busy city life, so Scott flew up to meet Freddy. The rest is history, even though when Scott accepted his work position at Freddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, he thought to himself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no, what have I done?â&#x20AC;? Now the Masons have TWO Ketchum restaurantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grillâ&#x20AC;? as of 1991 and Enoteca (wine library), the newest one established last year but also housed in an historic building, the Lane Mercantile Building (est. 1887). Of course, understandably, these Ketchum chefs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine living anywhere else on this good earth, though they do love their worldly travels. Scott and Anne have indeed been very focused during their culinary-destined lives and have trained under all sorts of great chefs and in the finest restaurants in California as well as, for Scott, in France (two of the French restaurants the Michelin Guide starred). We are very fortunate to have such talented
chefs here. Their passion indeed is emphasized in their cooking. Dining at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grill,â&#x20AC;? you can tell that much love and care goes into each and every item on their menu and in the preparation of their dishes. Scott has a great love of foraging anything he can find that is delectable and edible in our Valley. Mushrooms are, of course, on his list, but so are other delights such as onions and watercress. You will find them included in his dishes. His other big love is lambâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which, as we all know here in Idaho, is a true specialty and also a staple of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grill.â&#x20AC;? Setting aside his cooking hat and donning his wine hat, Scott, along with semi-retired manager Patty Anderson, seriously collaborate on their fine wine list several times a week. Patty has been with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grillâ&#x20AC;? since its inception. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Lyndsey says that her mother â&#x20AC;&#x153;was born with a whisk in one hand and a ladle in the other.â&#x20AC;? Anne, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetâ&#x20AC;? chef, has the love of all things good for desserts. She truly is an amazing chef of those, so when you frequent this fine restaurant, make sure to make some room for some of Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delights. Julia Child, whom Anne and Scott did slightly know personally, after tasting a bit of Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweets, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bake nearly as well as that, dear.â&#x20AC;? What a compliment!!! Pictured is one of Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite dishes: roasted spring lamb chops filled with Rollingstone goat cheese and tomato basil pistou. $23. Picture taken by Adelaide Mason. In conclusion, you may wonder how Scott can be in two places at one time. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but worry not because when he is to be found at Enoteca, the extremely capable chef-de-cuisine Daniel Pastick is filling in for Scott. The food as always will be excellent. This once-monthly column features our wonderful Valley restaurants, to which we can easily strollâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sometimes with the help of a bus or car rideâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and is therefore called The Walking Gourmet. I hope that it will be a helpful guide for would-be diners, as well for all of our fine local eateries. tws
The Sawtooth Botanical Garden will celebrate our foodshed, the seasonality of our food supply, the preciousness of our fertile soil, our gratitude for the local foods that have taken us through the winter, and the start of a new gardening/farming bountiful year! Join them for Spring Celebration 2013 beginning at 1 p.m., on Sunday, April 28 on the lawn of the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. The celebration will include rhythm (drumming or clapping or other percussion, and singing), raising prayer flags, a compost bio-diversification exchange, and sharing food. Each participant is invited to bring a drum, percussive instrument, musical instruments, singing bowls, or be ready to sing and clap. There will also be a compost biodiversification exchange. This idea comes from bio-dynamic gardening. Bring in a handful of your compost, or some humus from a stream. Our biodynamic master, farmer Miles Teitge, will mix it all together, and then everyone can walk away with a handful of compost with a more diversified micro-organism content.

Pretty in Pink ‘One reason for my success was that I was competing with only half the population.” —Warren Buffett BY BALI SZABO
I
had read this New York Times best-seller before I even read the book. Or so I thought. It has been reviewed by everyone with an ax to grind. Maureen Dowd of the Times panned it. Kathleen Parker, the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist in the Express, who should know better, aimed two barbs at it. She said it was a book about ‘empowering already empowered women,’ and ‘how women can get into country clubs’ (Augusta). What stood out in various comments and the reviews is that no one actually read the book. It was simply a platform for the reviewers’ own views piggybacking a best-seller. Almost every objection I read was addressed in the Introduction and expanded on later, like the ‘rich bitch’ epithet. This is a wonderful book. Sheryl Sandburg is honest, candid, she doesn’t posture, she’s funny, relaxed and writes a lot of excellent one-liners: “Because things could be worse should not stop you from making them better.” “Self-doubt becomes a form of self-defense.” “Encourage more women to dream the possible dream.” “We can re-ignite the revolution by internalizing the revolution.” She quotes Alice Walker: “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” The book is not a polemic. It is full of great anecdotes and common situations that affect all women. Sandburg remarked at a commencement address that “you are the hope for a more equal world.” She stressed the need for women in leadership roles to affect everything from a rape culture to equal pay to greater boardroom presence. She wrote this book because she feels the women’s movement has stalled (she’s good friends with Gloria Steinem), explains why, and what can be done
about it. Criticisms are easy, solutions are rare. This book is really a treatise on aspects of social psychology. The most important psychological profile is the discussion of the ‘Stereotype Threat,’ where historically discriminatedagainst groups— blacks, gays, Jews and, of course, women—internalize their negative social images and begin to act them out, confirming the stereotype. She mentions the ‘Imposter Syndrome,’ which is capable people being gripped by groundless selfdoubt. Then there is the ‘Ambition Gap’—women who are afraid to reach for the brass ring, quite unlike men. She tells of a great study done at Harvard called Howard and Heidi. It features the bio profile of a successful man, Howard. It was given to a large group of students for evaluation. In half the profiles, the name was changed to Heidi. Howard was admired for his traits and actions. Heidi was called too strident, bitchy, not trustworthy, someone no one would want on a team. Women have to be ‘likeable’ while men can be complete jerks. Because this book is not a polemic, it is not anti-male. Sheryl simply wants women to shed their emotional shackles and be more like them, while acknowledging the external obstacles women still face. They still have to prove themselves. Men are promoted based on potential, women, based on past accomplishments. Women are discouraged from taking risks, and self-advocacy. Women credit their success to luck and the help of others; men cite innate ability. Faced with failure, women think they lack ability while a man simply credits it to an error. Men negotiate, women accept. Men are excused their ambition, women are expected to be ‘loyal.’ And so on. This book is also a statistical treasure; it has numbers to back up observations. It is well researched with a great Notes and Bibliography. I only wish it had a statistical abstract. The book is available at the Hailey Public Library. tws

eslie Silva has delivered hundreds of Meals on Wheels to housebound seniors in the past three years. Thursday evening she was the recipient of a meal herself, as the Senior Connection honored 40 individuals who have volunteered their services driving the Meals on Wheel truck, mopping floors, scooping ice cream at Scoops Ice Cream Parlor, gardening, painting, running the Senior Connection gift shop or helping with helping with the Senior Connection’s recreational activities. But Silva got to be first in line for Chef Steve Johnson’s baked chicken dinner as Volunteer of the Year. “I was so happy to see her honored as Volunteer of the Year,” said Johnson. “I’m so glad she gives a little bit of her time to us. She comes in and she always has a smile. She’s always happy. She knows the people she delivers food to. She fills a room—she’s like a breath of fresh air.” Silva first began volunteering at a nursing home in Seattle during high school. She began making the Meals on Wheels deliveries on Tuesdays after she and her husband—Sun Valley’s general manager Tim Silva— moved back to Sun Valley a few years ago. Like other Meals on Wheels drivers, Silva does much more than passing out meatloaf and chicken dinners. She changes light bulbs for the seniors, helps them when their toilets overflow, and helps them shop for toiletries and other items. “They become friends. They become your family,” she said. “I love older people and I care about them,” she added. “I look at them and see my parents. I look at them and see myself.” It’s amazing Silva had time even to make the dinner in her honor, given the many causes she volunteers for. She also serves on the board of The Community Library, bringing Sun Valley Resort on

board to serve up a taste of “The Help” and dessert fantasies at the library’s Moveable Feast fundraisers. She prepares care packages for soldiers affiliated with Higher Ground, Sun Valley’s outreach to wounded vets. She tutors at Hemingway Elementary School and volunteers with I Have a Dream, a program designed to encourage low-income kids at Woodside Elementary to go to college. And she just started volunteering with The Advocates. And when Hurricane Sandy devastated part of the East Coast last fall, she quickly and quietly gathered 500 winter coats and shipped them to New York. “She has a lot of energy,” said her admiring husband, Tim Silva.
PETE CANTOR GETS A NOD Leslie Silva wasn’t the only one singled out for recognition at the Senior Connection’s annual volunteer appreciation dinner. Pete Cantor was recognized for serving 14 years on the Senior Connection’s board of directors. He has served 13 of those years as the board’s president. “The board is making decisions for our lives, figuring out

what’s going to happen,” said Kim Coonis, the Senior Connection’s executive director. Cantor, former owner of Ketchum Automotive, said he was taking care of the Senior Connection’s fleet of vehicles when someone asked him to serve on the board of directors. “I said, ‘I don’t know that I understand anything about old people,’ ” Cantor recalled. “They said, ‘Why don’t you look in the mirror!’ ” tws
“I volunteer with Meals on Wheels because what gives me the greatest pleasure is helping those that are in need. It’s what’s pulled me into all the other areas I’m involved with. My heart is happiest serving others. What I get back is tenfold to what I give.”

EARL HOLDING’S LEGACY, from page 1 He covered the mountain with high-speed quads. He spent three-quarters of a million dollars redoing the Sun Valley Golf Course and he redid the Sun Valley Lodge and Inn, putting Drexel Heritage furniture in the lodges. As he did with Little America, Earl and Carol learned how the ski business worked by flipping hamburgers on Baldy, their children Anne, Kathleen and Steven in aprons by their sides. They climbed ladders to change light bulbs in the lodges, spent Sunday nights moving mirrors and furniture to figure out where they looked best. And they noticed when an ingredient was missing in a salad dressing. Earl and Carol sat in on every management meeting, teaching work ethics at every turn. “See that coffee table?” Holding told managers at one of the first meetings. “That coffee table will likely stay where it is unless one of the three people in this room get up and move it. Nothing works unless you do.” “We learned from that that it’s people who do things,” recalled Huffman, who was dubbed Radar after the M*A*S*H character who follows his boss around with a clipboard making notations about the changes the boss wants made. “He said, ‘Effort causes things to happen and effort is not a bad thing.’ ” In time, Sun Valley employees began spouting Earl’s platitudes as easily as they recited their birthdates: “You get what you inspect, not what you expect.” “Anticipation is greater than realization.” “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” “To thine own self be true.” “Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.” “He’s been an inspiration to me,” said Thoreson, who worked for Holding more than 30 years. “He made a lot of people better people the way he walked the talk and lived by his words.”
A child of the Depression
At the time of his death, Forbes listed Holding as the 423rd richest person in the world, his wealth estimated at $3.2 billion. He is the 19th greatest landholder in the United States, according to Businessinsider.com. At last count, Holding reportedly owned 400,000 acres, including more than 40 blocks of property in Salt Lake City alone. But, despite the wealth he amassed and the massive building projects he undertook, Holding always evoked a certain air of frugality. That was likely born of the Great Depression—his parents lost their life savings in the stock market crash of 1929 when Earl was 3 years old. Armed with an engineering degree from the University of Utah, Holding was headed to Iran with the Bureau of Reclamation when the Covey brothers convinced him to take over their underperforming truck stop in southwestern Wyoming. As a high school student, Holding had taken care of the lawns of the apartments owned by the Covey brothers, including Stephen R. Covey—grandfather of the Stephen R. Covey who would go on to write “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Holding and his wife Carol rolled up their sleeves, waiting tables and manning gas pumps—Carol boasts she still has the first dollar bill she received as a tip. They added gas pumps, expanded the hotel and planted hundreds of trees. And within two years they had turned the station into one of the most successful service stations in the country before purchasing it from the Coveys.
In short order, Holding purchased Sinclair Oil Co., turning it into the largest oil refinery in the Mountain West. Pretty soon he had also amassed Little America and the Westgate Hotel in Flagstaff and San Diego, a home in the Federal Heights section of Salt Lake City, the Twin Creek cattle ranch at the base of Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains, the Sunlight Cattle Ranch near Yellowstone National Park, Sun Valley Resort and a couple of jets, one of which he bought from the Sultan of Brunei. “I only wish to acquire the land adjacent to mine,” he often told people. “The three most important things: location, location, location.”
Building modernday monuments and icons
As 2002 approached, Holding transformed Ogden’s Snowbasin Ski Area from a ho-hum tiny day-ski area into a world-class resort with one of the world’s best downhill courses for the 2002 Winter Olympics. He further helped the Olympic Committee secure the bid by spending $185 million to build the four-story Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Holding treated the hotel, built with 50,000 pounds of granite blocks he’d selected at a Vermont quarry and sent to Spain to be cut and polished, as if it were his home. He even provided towels instead of paper napkins in the restrooms. When an NBC cameraman sat down in the lobby during the Olympics and put his feet up on an antique table Holding had imported from Europe, Holding walked up to him and said, “Please don’t do that. You wouldn’t put your feet up on your furniture at home. Why would you do that here?” Back in Sun Valley, Holding set a new standard for the ski industry, building four lodges out of heavy beam timbers and Italian marble and filling them with treasures like 350-year-old hand-painted European antique trunks and Swiss bells. “I think a lot of his penchant for quality comes from the fact that he’s a civil engineer by education,” said Huffman. “His philosophy is: Do it right the first time. Marble lasts longer than tile. Tile lasts longer than linoleum. Eighty-ounce wool carpet lasts 30 years, compared with the 20-ounce nylon that most motels have to replace every five years.” Holding suffered a stroke in 2002 that most people wouldn’t have survived, according to Huffman. But his mind remained sharp, allowing him to run the show through the people he’d lined up behind him for the first several years. He remodeled the Sun Valley Lodge, equipping it with state-ofthe-art convention equipment that eclipsed what any other hotel in the Northwest offered at the time. At his wife’s insistence, he replaced the drafty ski school cabin on Dollar Mountain with Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. “Just think: They used to have bumper stickers that said, “Earl is a Four-Letter Word,” he once told a reporter who greeted him following the opening of Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Holding built a second golf course and acquired a third. And in 2008 he built the Sun Valley Symphony Pavilion at the symphony’s bequest, even flying to Italy to pick out 750 tons of travertine from the same quarry used to build Rome’s Coliseum. When community leaders wanted to name the outdoor concert pavilion after him, he protested: “I’m not dead. I don’t want it named after me.”
Earl Holding rewarded Paralympian Muffy Davis with a run named “Muffy’s Medals” following the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Salt Lake City. He suffered a stroke later that year.
“I’d say the Wood River Valley–we–are very lucky to have had Mr. Holding as owner of Sun Valley.” –Jack sibbach Director of Marketing
“If Mr. Holding hadn’t bought Sun Valley, it probably would have become a two-star regional resort, or less.” –WALLY HUFFMAN Former General Manager
What Holding didn’t build endeared him to Sun Valley residents as much as what he did build. He left land undeveloped, more concerned about keeping the resort attractive than crowding it with condos and other buildings. “Mr. Holding called it ‘being gentle with the land,’” said former Sun Valley Mayor Jon Thorson. “He was sensitive to the fact that he was living in a beautiful place.” Some men in the public eye might have become reclusive following a stroke that left them in a wheelchair. But Holding continued to attend symphony performances, ice shows, special dinners at the Inn. He even bundled up for the ribbon cutting for the $12 million gondola in 2009, greeting hundreds of Valley residents as they filed through the newly remodeled Roundhouse Restaurant. He surprised 500 dinner patrons at a tribute dinner in his honor by addressing them. Holding told guests that he, his wife and three kids all love Sun Valley—“it’s our most fun place.” “And as long as I’m alive and as long as Carol’s alive and as long as my three kids are alive, this will never, ever be sold. We’ll run it,” he said, as the crowd jumped to its feet offering

Earl Holding, who spoke at a send-off for Sun Valley’s Olympians in 2002, seemed unconcerned with how difficult it can be for vacationers to get to Sun Valley. “You can use the inconvenience in getting here to your advantage,” he once told Sun Valley’s resident historian Chris Millspaugh. “What have you gained if you have direct flights from all over, only to have to stand in line after line once you get here?”

Despite such assurances, there’s no question that Valley residents have wondered what might come of Sun Valley’s future, even as they see Stephen and Kathleen Holding taking over more of the management duties.

No two ways about it, Mr. and Mrs. Holding resurrected the place.” tws

Honky Tonkin’ BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7 FM
C
ountry music has lost its way, but Jay Farrar has taken it upon himself to help it find its way back. In the early nineties, Farrar was one-half of the creative force behind Uncle Tupelo, the band responsible for igniting the fire underneath the alt-country movement. After an acrimonious breakup with his band partner Jeff Tweedy, Farrar formed Son Volt, whose new album Honky Tonk has gone back to the Bakersfield sound made famous by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. In these days, where country music is little more than pop music with a twang, Son Volt has taken country back to its roots. Instead of taking today’s country route, Son Volt has taken the high lonesome road, replete with dual fiddles, pedal steel and heartfelt lyrics about the road, smoke and dim lights and, of course, Bakersfield. Previously, Son Volt threw rock and country music against the wall and worked with what spattered. Honky Tonk is straight-up country and Farrar’s voice has never sounded so in place; his nasal twang is perfect for singing country music. The opening track, “Hearts And Minds,” takes you through a two-step of heartbreak and hope and sets the tone for the entire album. Throughout the entire eleven songs on Honky Tonk, Son Volt takes you on a trip through real country; and every gas station, truck stop and honky-tonk you find along the way is filled with the joyous sound of country music as it should be—heartache with a twang. tws

Idaho Dance Theatre Performance, April 27 The Idaho Dance Theatre will be performing at 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, April 27 at The Hailey Community Center Theater. The Idaho Dance Theatre lives in Boise and won a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to tour southeastern Idaho. The company performs contemporary dance concerts that feature challenging and athletic dancing, innovative and exciting choreography, and always interesting music. Now in its 24th season, IDT is the premiere professional contemporary dance company in Idaho. The performance will include four dances by four different choreographers. Co-artistic directors Carl Rowe and Marla Hansen will each present a work. Marla Hansen’s “Fractured Silence” uses music by Boise composer David Allan Earnest, a frequent
contributor to the company. The driving percussion and piano music sends dancers flying across the stage in a circus of movement. Carl Rowe’s “Streaming” is a more theatrical work with an ebb and flow of moods and intentions. A stunning final section leaves both dancers and audience breathless. IDT will also include in the program the winner of its first annual, national choreography competition, New Visions. Jessica Tomlinson of Chicago won with “Architecture: Splintered and Cracked,” a meticulously crafted piece danced to perfection by the IDT dancers. Ticket prices are $22/general admission and $12/students. For more information about Idaho Dance Theatre, call 208-331-9592.

Embracing the Earth “Our concern at the moment is with individual you because, in the end, a nation, a world, is only made up of individual you and individual me.” —Joel Goldsmith BY VEE RILEY
A
few weeks ago, while strolling through my neighborhood, a feeling of sadness came over me. My eyes caught site of three houses, standing empty, within a one-block radius. These houses, once filled with families sharing dreams and hopes, looked abandoned, even though they were built within the last 10 years. My temptation was to close my eyes and shield myself from the heartache. Each moment of our lives we are free to make a new choice in what we are thinking and feeling. In that instant, I chose to look through the situation to the mountains beyond. The abundance of nature, sunshine, and white puffy clouds restored my thoughts. My intention was not to deny what was happening, but to see with new eyes. Change can only come when we, as individuals, shift our perspective. This is a Universal
truth that applies to every man and woman on the planet. As long as there is a seed of doubt, we are blocking the heart and energy of our potential good. Marianne Williamson, in her new book The Law of Divine Compensation, has this to say: “No matter what is happening in our lives, we choose how we wish to think about it. When you are sitting in front of a pile of bills you don’t know how you’ll pay, or being hounded by creditors, or afraid you’ll lose your home; when you’re confronted by images of economic gloom and doom, recession and hardship every day, it’s easy to fear that your financial state will only get worse. It seems easier to have faith in the power of economic loss than have faith in economic recovery.” Are you feeling yourself at a loss? Trying to figure things out, and wanting to know the reason why this is happening will never bring happiness to your doorstep. Intellectual understanding alone does not always work. We must have faith and tune into nature. Mankind is all one family. This week we are celebrating Earth Day. There is no better way to ground yourself to

There will be many opportunities for education on tree planting, so important for the next generation who might even go home with a free tree seedling.

Dear Classified Guys, My husband is a sports nut. It doesn't matter if it is basketball, baseball, hockey or football. He loves them all. He's the only guy I know who mows the lawn and takes out the garbage during the week just so I don't interrupt his game watching on the weekends. I don't mind his obsession because I like sports as well. So when I saw a classified ad advertising an autographed baseball of a famous player, I decided I had to get it for my husband's birthday. On the phone the man told me that he was a private collector and had the ball autographed by the player at a convention a few years ago. But how can I authenticate it? I know this gift would make my husband ecstatic, and I don't want to disappoint him with a fake. Any thoughts so I can make this the best birthday gift ever?

Cash: If your husband is
a big baseball fan, then your gift idea is sure to be a home run! Carry: However, you're asking a question that plagues even some of the best professionals. Often it's extremely difficult or nearly impossible to authenticate a signa-

ture, unless you saw the person sign it himself. Cash: With today's technology the fakes are getting better and better. Fortunately, there are some basics you can follow to make an educated decision. For example, if the gentleman selling the baseball was present when it was signed, then he may have proof to verify it. Carry: Ask to see any photos of him at the convention. He may have captured a picture of himself with the player. Also request the date and location of the convention and verify that the player was at the event that day. Cash: The quickest way to spot a fake is by confirming all the facts you're told. A seller who's
being honest will have nothing to hide. Carry: You can also ask if the gentleman has any certification from the UACC (Universal Autograph Collector's Club). This group is a non-profit organization that authenticates dealers as well as autographs from sports stars, celebrities and historical figures. They have rigorous standards that make it virtually impossible for forgers to get a stamp of approval. Cash: Since you're a sports fan yourself, this process could be a great learning experience and a lot of fun. And with your "home run" gift idea, maybe your husband will put in some extra innings on the yard work.

Among the world of Hollywood signers, some are more willing to offer an autograph than others. According to Autograph Magazine's annual survey, some of the most accommodating signers include Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, George Clooney and Jack Nicholson. On the other end of the list for most unwilling and sometimes rude include Will Ferrell, Tobey Maguire, Joaquin Phoenix, William Shatner and Renee Zellweger.
For years my husband Keith stayed home and raised our child while struggling to be a writer. I was very proud when he finally published a children's book. As a part of the publicity, he was scheduled to sign copies at a local bookstore. That evening my 12-year-old son asked me if he could tag along to get his Dad's signature. It was such a sweet moment that I told my son how proud I was that he wanted his Dad to sign a book for him. However, that's when he let me in on his little secret. "I don't really want him to sign a book," he whispered, showing me a slip of paper. "I'm just hoping he won't notice he's signing my detention slip." (Thanks to Janet L.)
Signs of History
There is probably no document more famous than the Declaration of Independence and no signature more commonly referred to than that of John Hancock. With such notoriety one would expect his signature to be the most valuable autograph collected in the world. However, that award actually goes to the famous playwright, William Shakespeare. With only six authenticated signatures known worldwide and held by various institutions, Shakespeare's autograph has been estimated to fetch 5 million dollars or more if ever auctioned. •

510 thank you notes Thanks, John Mauldin, for all your terrific work there at SV Resort - particularly that superb “Acoustic Music Weekend” you organized several years ago (featuring Molly Venter, Maria Laura & Alejandro, Justin Guarini and scores of other very talented musicians who almost certainly would NEVER have had the golden opportunity to sing in the Pavilion had it not been for your unwavering vision and tenacity). Very sorry to see you go... :(

518 raves The April 17th episode of “American Idol” easily set a record for MOST universal standing ovations by the judges (not to mention the general audience) that series has seen during its 12-season run —and verrry deservedly so, especially the superb perfs by Angie Miller, Kree “Kreedom” Harrison, Candice Glover and Janelle Arthur. Easily among the VERY BEST television you’ll see this year. Major props all ‘round! :D
