Trolling Derby was Magic-al BY PAUL HOPFENBECK
O
kay, that may be a matter of perspective, but it was a beautiful day to be on the water. Saturday morning started as so many of my previous hunting and fishing forays seem to start, with a restless night’s sleep filled with anxiety and anticipation- and a 3:00 a.m. wake-up alarm. Make coffee, take a shower, pack lunch, wake the boys, make hot chocolate, fill the thermoses, double check EVERYTHING! Kiss my wife Linda (our biggest fan) and try and make amends with the golden boys, who, after sleeping on top of our gear bags by the door, suddenly realize they are not to be included. On the road! Because of the unseasonably high water and lack of beach at Magic Reservoir, I changed my mind about launching our boat at Hot Springs Landing and then motoring to East Side under the diminished but still sufficient light of last month’s Super Moon. Instead, I made the drive to Baja thinking that I could pull the boat out before weigh-in if the afternoon turned windy, making the mooring situation sketchy. As I drove to the reservoir that morning I really thought that I would be a littlelate to get a spot on the dock, but as I found out later, the majority of the derby participants who camped at Hot Springs made an evening of it and continued their revelry until the wee hours. Steve Begley , who beats me to the dock about 50% of the time, motored up just as my son Curtis, and I were tying off! Last year, at 4:30 a.m., in the black of a new moon and in an obscuring, driving rain, my son Curtis took a very short and inopportune walk off the end of the dock at Hot Springs. This year, not being one to let the opportunity of establishing an “annual eventâ€? pass him by, as soon as he pulled the boat trailer off the ramp, Curtis donned trunks and made another swim in the 55 degree water! Tradition begun! Okay, now I like to catch fish as much as the next guy-maybe more. The derby gets my competitive juices flowing and every once in a great while the water gods smile upon our boat, Comfort Zone, and we land a fish or two. I have always happily accepted any earned prize money and bought my share of drinks with a percentage of the winnings. A good time was had by all, etc‌! But, this year was special for a number of reasons. First, I was fishing with BOTH my boys, Carson and Curtis, for the first time since the inception of the Magic Derby, 18 years ago. Win, lose, or draw, it was going to be a great day.

very week Quenia Gonzales surveys her fifth-grade class at Woodside Elementary School looking for condos to buy. “It’s kind of like playing Monopoly,� she explains. “I buy one of my classmate’s condominiums and then they have to pay me rent.� The condos Gonzales is so hot to buy don’t come equipped with Energy Star appliances and granite countertops. They’re merely the desks that she and her fellow classmates occupy for the duration of the school year. But teacher Mary Gin Barron treats them as if they’re solid gold real estate in a year-long exercise that teaches students about what it’s like to work to earn money to pay rent and buy a house in the real world. It’s an exercise that was born out of frustration. “Five years ago I had one of the most difficult classes I’ve ever had. I couldn’t motivate them—they just didn’t care. I started reading everything I could on motivation and came up with this,� Barron said. Barron’s current classroom of 20 students is brimming with motivation now, especially at auction time when the students get to bid the money they make from collecting rent and other exercises on toys that have been donated by Costco, Best Buy, The Toy Store and other stores, say Barron’s co-teachers, who can hear the bidding several doors down the hall. “It’s fun doing this because we learn about how to buy stuff,� said Kasen Boren. At the beginning of the year, students choose from a list of jobs. Among them: policemen, who collect fines for missing homework and keep the peace in the classroom; computer techs, who plug in laptops and boot them up each morning; interior designers, who help with bulletin boards; librarians, who check books in and out; and custodians, who keep the classroom sink cleaned. Stacey Pedraza works as a postal worker. Gonzales works as a banker, certifying her fellow students have made the proper deposits and withdrawals in their checking accounts and counseling them on how they would have been better off if they’d bought a condo before splurging on M&Ms. The students get paid different salaries for their tasks, just as they would get different salaries performing different jobs in the world outside their classroom windows. Students also earn $100 for each “A� they get—$200 if they get 100 percent of the answers correct. And they get bonus money for extra credit projects, partici-
Emily Lizarraga pays $1,200 every month for her condo, or desk, so she doesn’t end up homeless on the floor. pation in after-school programs and for dressing up on specified days. “After-school programs and sports make us use our brains and be healthy,� explained Sebastian Zavala. Conversely, they get fined $100 if they don’t have their homework done or if they’re tardy. “I don’t have a problem anymore with kids turning in homework—they strive for good grades,� Barron said. “And, while attendance was a problem at first, I do not have tardy kids anymore. They’re in their seats ready to go because they don’t want to pay a fine.� The kids use their earnings to pay $1,200 a month rent on their desks, or condos, writing out the rent on checks provided especially for the students by Bank of America. The more enterprising kids—like Gonzales—buy other students’ condos so the rent goes to them. “If we don’t pay rent, we could become homeless and end up on the floor,� explained Emily Lizarraga. But there’s an even bigger payoff for keeping a healthy bank account: monthly auctions in which they get to bid on M&Ms, Monopoly games, pogo sticks, basketballs and other toys. Barron saves the most prized items, such as Harry Potter books and LEGOS, for the end of the year so the students learn the value of saving. Students have bid up to $15,000 for a lava lamp and $10,000 for a pillow pet or disco ball. Many have saved up to buy things for a brother or sister’s Christmas or birthday
Kasen Boren shows what happens if a student doesn’t save enough money to pay monthly rent on his desk. Mary Gin Barron has only had one case of a student ending up homeless in the five years she’s done this exercise—and that didn’t last long.
As one of the classroom bankers, Quenia Gonzales keeps the books for her classmates’ deposit
present. One of the payoffs of this unusual classroom exercise is a better understanding of what their parents go through, said Barron. “They understand the real world now,â€? she said. “They hear their parents talking about why they have two jobs or why they’re struggling to pay the rent‌ and they get it.â€? tws

uke Snell will tout the advantages of personalized medicine that can allow clients to take the lowest doses possible to quell hot flashes and other health problems. Dr. Maria Maricich will go right for the gut, tackling issues like “poor sanitation� in the stomach. And Julie Johnson will examine the foods we put into our bodies in a presentation titled “Nourish Me: How to Eat at 6,000 Feet on the 45th Parallel.� These are three local practitioners who will be among a couple dozen local presenters at the 15th annual Sun Valley Wellness Festival being held May 24 through 29 at Sun Valley Resort. Other locals include Ryan Redman, who will discuss mindful relaxation; Mary Ann Chubb, who will lead a guided “Lovingkindness Meditation� at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden; yoga instructor Richard Odom; and Pam Street, who will teach Journaling for Kids. Snell, who owns Luke’s Pharmacy in Hailey, will dish out the latest information on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in the free Hands-on

Johnson will give her presentation at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, May 26. Like Maricich she became interested in her subject due to her own personal experience. In her case, she discovered that she was able to eat raw cheese products and milk while living in the Alps of Italy, Switzerland and France. “I got horrible stomach cramps when I tried to eat milk products as a child,� said Johnson. “But over there I found that when I sampled yogurt and milk that had been made in the barn below where I was living that I was okay. The digestive enzymes from the locally produced raw milk products was easier to assimilate.� That led Johnson to explore the benefits of locally produced foods-- something she’s incorporated into her NourishMe health food store in Ketchum. tws
• • • Wellness festival keeps growing • • • This year’s Wellness Festival will feature a variety of topics ranging from a presentation on how to arrange your home to improve finances, career and other aspects of life to presentations by Sam Grossman, author of “Win the Food Fight: The 7 Week Victory Diet,â€? and Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center founder Dr. Uzzi Reiss. This year’s festival—the 15th— has expanded from three days to five. “It’s growing,â€? said Carol Waller, who has been with the festival since its beginning. “We keep getting really high-caliber speakers. And this is one of the best lineups we’ve ever had.â€? Brain researcher Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor will deliver the keynote speech at 6 p.m. Friday, May 25, describing how she had to rebuild her brain from the inside out after suffering a stroke. Taylor has been interviewed by Oprah and Dr. Oz, among others. John Cole, one of the world’s foremost experts in Qi Gong, ac-
cording to Waller, will make a couple presentations. Singer/songwriter Carole King will sign copies of her new book, “A Natural Woman,� from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Sunday, May 27, outside the Sun Valley Inn Limelight Room. “ Saul David Raye, who will speak on inner transformation through the seven levels of energy, is huge in the Yoga tradition. And we’ll have a screening of “Decoding Deepak,� which chronicles a year in the life of Deepak Chopra Thursday night,� said Waller. The festival has become a signature event for Sun Valley, Waller said: “There are other wellness events around the country but we’re special because we’re relatively small and we’re not taking place in the L.A. Convention Center.� Tickets start at $35 for single speaker presentations and movement classes with $10 tickets for students. Day passes are $95. For more information, go to www.sunvalleywellness.org

Father’s Day came a month early for me this year! Second, I am feeling a little mortal these days. Not all of the fishermen who have competed in this derby are still with us and as I sat at breakfast with my boys, watching the smiling faces come through the door, the handshakes and backslaps were genuine, the camaraderie warm and sincere. Honestly, this is my favorite part of the derby. I have some great friends here and some of them have sons who are also now competing in the derby. This 2nd Saturday in May, some very good men get together to share a few minutes telling lies and catching up, and after enjoying a great breakfast and a good cup of coffee (or a reviving Bloody Mary) and with anticipation in our hearts, we motor around in our boats waiting for the starting horn. It may sound silly, but from my perspective, it is about as much fun as a guy can have. Fish on!!! Thank you to last year’s winning team- Mark Fulmer, Tyler Pickering, and Chad Blincoe. These three gentlemen put on a great derby and through proceeds generated from the derby

Bike Films and Ride to Work Pay Homage STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
K
etchum is celebrating National Bike Month this week with a couple of pedaling films and the 10th annual Bike to Work Day. • A free screening of the bikeumentary “Pedal Driven” will be shown at 6 p.m. tonight accompanied by a short talk by Wood River Bike Coalition Director Greg Martin and free Fat Tire ale. “Pedal Driven” takes viewers to a world of hidden trailheads and clandestine trails in the forests above Leavenworth, Wash., where extreme mountain bikers called freeriders—the skate punks of the forest—keep a constant vigil for Forest Service rangers who destroy their illegal trails whenever they find them. • Local bike enthusiast Julian Tyo will talk about the development of gravity biking in the Wood River Valley at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library. The free presentation
Ketchum Wide Open BY KAREN BOSSICK

etchum turns into a 10hole town on Saturday as the Ketchum Wide Open returns. Ten Ketchum bars and restaurants are creating fanciful and innovative miniature golf course holes out of PVC pipe and other materials as they prepare for duffers to take up the challenge in what course pro Thatcher Marstad says will “elevate your game to the next level as you prepare to hit the links.” Players will vie for best score, best hole and best costume. Those who make a bad putt have the option of buying a shot in the interests of shaving a point off their score. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Mike Chase. “In reality, though, it’s more about partying than it is about golfing.” Registration opens at 10 a.m. at Ketchum Town Plaza and players have from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to make the rounds and turn in their score cards at Town Plaza. Cost is $10 per person and $20 for a team of two players.
about the creation of Hailey and Ketchum’s pump tracks and flow trails will be accompanied with free Fat Tire beer. • The week will culminate with Mountain Rides’ 10th Annual Bike to Workplace Challenge on Friday. Various bike shops, businesses and community groups will offer early-morning goodies for cyclists who take the bike path between Hailey and Ketchum from 6:30 to 9 a.m. Friday. Those who will hand out snacks, drinks and other free stuff along the Wood River Trail are Power Engineers, Sun Summit South, Blaine County Recreation District, Marketron, Smith Optics, Sturtevants, Scott USA, St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, Pete Lane’s Sun Valley, Sun Valley Adaptive Sports and Wood River YMCA. They will be hanging out in Hailey at South Woodside, Elm Street, Bullion Street, Myrtle Street, Ohio Gulch and East Fork. Ketchum-area locations
are at St. Luke’s, the path south of River Run, 2nd Avenue and 4th Street by the post office and at the Wood River YMCA. A barbecue will be held for participating cyclists from noon to 1 p.m. that day in at town square. Cycling commuters can try to knock Scott USA off their throne during the Workplace Challenge that morning.

The Valley is Going Green STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO
W
e had our first ‘green-up’ in mid-April and we’re in the midst of another one now in mid-May. The deciduous trees and shrubs burst into leaf, their youth played out in pastel tones—tender youth vs. hardened autumn. It’s the last major transition into summer. The early-arriving songbirds have nested and are laying eggs, and they make a racket at the crack of dawn, a little past 5 a.m. ‘Our’ warm winters are setting records, as are the last two decades. One hundred and twenty-five years of record keeping is nothing, and just looking at North America is insufficient. That’s why scientists, forensic paleontologists, Antarctic ice core samples and other evidence can take us back 40,000 years. Looking at the Northern Hemisphere as a whole is better because it includes the vast tundra and forests of Siberia. Pockets of bitter cold don’t change the overall picture. A new, largebased British study observed that plants are blooming about a week earlier. For every onedegree rise in overall winter temperatures, plants green up a week earlier. Things do not move in concert, so many species cannot adjust fast enough. The timing of the food source is becoming increasingly unreliable. The complex web of the timing of that

food source and those dependent on it is disrupted; e.g., flowers are early but the pollinators may be late. Bird chicks need a lot of protein best found early in the season. Ungulates (hoofed) animals time their gestation to the green-up. As a lot of plants and animals move uphill or to higher latitudes, like the saguaros and certain frogs, they still encounter killer frosts, which harm or eliminate them. Regardless of what you may hear, the scientific community is conservative in its global warming projections. The field reports coming in are alarming, so they tone down their computer projections, and insist on more study and data. Actually, they don’t want to rock the boat too much. Also, a lot of projections are coming from laboratory studies, which have to recreate natural scenarios, which is impossible. A study of 1600 plants placed under ‘warming’ conditions were used for scientific projections, and entered into computer
models, which were immediately vilified by critics. As it turns out, field studies from all over the globe are showing a far greater warming trend, affecting everything from temperatures to ocean levels, from glacial melt rates to species dislocations. Evidence is rolling in that the lab scientists were far too conservative. ‘Scare tactics’ are not coming from computer projections; they’re coming from the field. One consequence of our thin snow cover this winter has been the kill-off of small Spring flowering bulbs. Crocuses and scillas have not fared well. Puschkinias and the grape hyacinths are up in abundance, as are the deeply planted tulips and daffodils. Snow acts like a blanket, protecting tender perennials—plants used to Zone 5+ conditions. With little snow, the ground freezes hard and shallow ground temperatures plummet from the snow-insulated 28-30 degrees to the teens. Plant roots use glucose as an antifreeze to ward off tissue freeze. This kind of sugar water protects both plant and animal cells from freezing, up to a point. Unfortunately, the thin snow cover exposed a great deal of underground living tissue to freezer burn, even though temperatures were comparatively mild. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

nited States consumers doubled their purchases of omega-3 fatty acid supplements since 2006, banking on lowered triglycerides (and the risk of heart attack); cancer, depression, and arthritis cures; and Alzheimer’s protection, while supplement producers banked billions. Fish oil, the most purchased omega-3 source, was damned in H. Bruce Franklin’s 2007 book, The Most Important Fish in the Sea. Rutgers Professor Franklin writes that the majority of fish oil is extracted from menhaden, which has been duly overfished. Menhaden are important food for our favorite Atlantic fish (tuna, striped bass, redfish and bluefish, among others), plus they are the cleanup crew, filtering water and preventing devastating algae blooms.

Use of On-farm Biodiesel Helpful
F
armers help minimize global climate change through biodiesel production. On-farm biodiesel production first starts with growing and harvesting an oil seed crop. The oil from the seed is extracted using special equipment and processed into biodiesel that can help run farm equipment and trucks. Multiple crops are grown throughout the U.S. for biofuel production, including soybean, rapeseed and canola, mustard, camelina, and sunflower. Canola and rapeseed are commonly used in Idaho due to the biodiesel’s suitability for colder climates; canola biodiesel has a low cloud point and pour point. The cloud point is the temperature of the biofuel where unfavorable small, solid crystals can be observed as the fuel cools. These crystals can later clog the vehicle filters, making the low cloud point temperature of canola biodiesel ideal for Idaho’s winter conditions. The pour point is the temperature at which movement of the biodiesel ceases. With the engines of most farm equipment running on diesel, adopting biodiesel is typically

an easy transition. Considerations for growers who want to adopt this sustainable practice include purchasing the necessary equipment, including specialized machinery for harvest, an oil press, a processor, and storage for both seed and final product. The benefits from going “green” with on-farm fuel use include self-sufficiency, reducing greenhouse gases, and cutting fuel costs. Biodiesel is also sustainable in more than one way because it enables growers to close the energy loop with the crop by utilizing the by-products. For example, farmers use the by-product meal for a high-protein feed, and the unused vegetation can be used for straw bedding in a livestock operation. Many growers across the U.S. are starting to make and use biodiesel and, as a result, — have been able to reduce their fuel costs and help tws improve overall profits.

Fish oil capsules are not our only option for omega-3s, but oil seed supplements (such as flax, canola, or hemp) mostly contain only one fatty acid, ALA. Conversion by human digestion to the two more useful fatty acids, DHA and EPA, can occur, but is slow at best. A better option is to eat fish twice a week: salmon, sardines, and anchovies are the highest source of omega-3 fatty acids. Biotech companies are developing more complete omega-3 supplements from farmed algae or algae/oil seed combinations, which will deliver the goods, and protect the oceans. tws

ary Gin Barron’s innovative classroom techniques were inspired in part by Rafe Esquith, an awardwinning fifth-grade teacher at a public school in Los Angeles who spoke at the Sun Valley Writers Conference in 2010. Esquith came with his Hobart Shakespeareans, who eloquently performed one of Shakespeare’s plays complete with rock music and contemporary jokes. And he came toting his intriguingly named books, “Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 56,” “There are No Shortcuts” and “Lighting Their Fires: Raising Extraordinary Children in a Mixed-Up, Muddled-Up, Shook-Up World.” Ninety percent of his school’s 2,000 students live below the poverty level and all are from immigrant families for whom English is a second language, Esquith told conference participants. But the students in the 25by-30-foot Room 56 of Hobart Boulevard Elementary School consistently score in the top 5 percent to 10 percent of the country in standardized tests. Many voluntarily start class at 6:30 each morning, two hours before the rest of the school’s students, and stay until 6 p.m., coming to class on Saturdays, during vacations and holidays because they’re so engaged in what’s going on. Some have gone on to Princeton and other Ivy League colleges. Esquith said part of his key to success is immersing himself and his classroom in intensive learning—so much so that he once set his hair on fire during a chemistry experiment and didn’t even realize it. He also uses innovative techniques, including paying salaries and rents and watching popular films and listening to rock and roll music in the process of learning. Mediocrity is not tolerated. But the rewards are rich, including field trips around the tws world.
The Sun Valley Writers’ Conference is gearing up for another round of gems from some of the world’s most intriguing minds Aug. 17-20 at Sun Valley Resort.

ahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953/176 page) I hope that everyone enjoyed our last “Read It� book. Dewey certainly was a “fivehanky ending,� as far as I was concerned. Vicki Myron, the authoress of Dewey and real-life librarian, said something in her book that led me to choose this one: “Books have survived television, radio, talking pictures, circulars, dailies, Punch and Judy shows and Shakespeare plays, World War II, the Hundred Years’ War, the Black Death, and the fall of the Roman Empire. They aren’t going to be killed off by the Internet.� So, can you visualize a world without books? Ray Bradbury did in his classic masterpiece Fahrenheit 451. It was written in 1953, but is still very modern. Bradbury’s vision had to do with firemen whose jobs were the destruction of books as well as the homes of the found book owners. The firemen’s job was totally reversed; instead of putting out fires, they started them. The goal of society in this scary scenario is put succinctly by the story’s fire captain to his

n the summer of 1979 I had the incredible opportunity to work backstage security at a Bob Marley and The Wailers concert at the University of Michigan. Although a fan of reggae, I felt that Marley was a creation of media hype. Boy, was I wrong! Instead, in one of the most memorable evenings of my life, I had the most intense religious and spiritual experience. The power that emanated from the man was indescribable. He would tragically be dead from cancer within two years at the age of 36. In the superb new documentary Marley, made with the blessings of his extended family and featuring rare footage, his story is told from beginning to tragic end. Directed expertly by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland), it chronicles his rise from a rural shantytown in Jamaica to his family’s move to Trenchtown in Kingston where he would unite with Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh
to form The Wailers. Born of a black mother and white father, his racial heritage would have a profound impact on his life. Working chronologically, the film follows the rise of The Wailers to Jamaica’s number one music group to their relationship with Chris Blackwell of Island Records, which would lead to Tosh and Wailer’s exit from the group. Turning to Rastafarianism, Marley would conquer the world with a power and determination rarely seen. The film also offers insightful interviews, especially with his wife Rita Marley, who ignored his infidelities because of the “evangelical campaign� that they had embarked upon. At the age of 33, Marley was diagnosed with cancer in his toe but, refusing to let the leg be amputated, he ignored the problem until it was far too late. As a reflection of the spiritual power of the man, his popularity has only increased since his death, with his greatest hits album, Legend, selling 25 million copies worldwide. For those who are fans and those that don’t know his music, Marley is an excellent starting point. tws

ArborFest was held on a mostly sunny Saturday, May 5 at Hop Porter Park in Hailey. Built on Hailey’s former arbor day traditions, the day kicked off at 10 a.m. with free tree seedlings, musical performances, fun for the kids with a bouncy forest, face painting, and a visit from Smokey Bear. Local food vendors provided food and drinks. The highlight of the festival was the inaugural ArborFest MudRun! “People had a ball,â€? Hailey Mayor Fritz Haemmerle said. “The competitors loved it out here. I saw smiles and excitement on their faces as they tackled the obstacles.â€? Bill Josey, co-chair of ArborFest added “Our course was unique, in that it was designed as a short track through Hop Porter Park, much like a ‘criterium-style’ race. This allowed the spectators to see the entire course.â€? Obstacles this year include: • Kick Sand in your Face Start • Down and dirty Mud Pit crawl • Humpty Dumpty Wall Climb • Spring to the Zig Zag Traverse • Watch that Web(bing) • Not ‘Tired’ Yet tire maze The Mud Pit obstacle was the clear favorite by the crowd. Next year the Mud Run organizers plan to add more obstacles for even more down and dirty fun. Kids are invited to be part of the race by bringing their Super Soakers for one of the new obstacles next year. This year’s winners include Women Open Winner: Sara Schroder; Mens Open winner: Cameron Bingham; Team Open Winner: Team ArborCare with Bill Josey, Nick Chickrell, Jeff Beacham, Kelsey Paxon, and Phillip Mathews. This year the entire ArborFest was free. In future years, an entry fee will be charged for the Mud Run. All proceeds from this event will benefit the Hailey Tree Committee.

Challenges in a Breeze BY BALI SZABO
T
he Players Championship at Sawgrass, on Sea Island, Fla., is a semimajor—not quite there, but everyone wants to play in it; it’s a good tune-up for the upcoming U.S. Open. You get a lot of respect if you win here, and Matt Kuchar did just that. He shot a steady final round to finish 13 under par. One of the last to finish, his rivals Ben Curtis, Keith Fowler, Martin Laird and Zack Johnson all sat in the 19th hole clubhouse with scores of -11, knowing that their only chance was if the 36-year-old Kuchar self-destructed. Cool, calm and collected, he birdied 16, bogeyed
the iconic teardrop island green on 17, and parred 18. Kuchar bested a large field of challengers, which didn’t start to drop away until the 11th hole on Sunday, but there were still five contenders left within a shot or two, and the onshore southeast breeze was at everyone’s back. Sawgrass is a technical course with lots of water hazards, sand traps and the Gallery. It was built to be a spectator’s course, so the fairways are tight. To win here, you need to stay on the fairways and have an excellent short game. The errant putters of his competition gave Kuchar breathing room. Down the stretch, three of them missed short, five-foot putts.
Hughston Completes New Sheriff Volunteer Program BY CINDY JESSINGER
A
fter nearly a year of planning, preparation and paperwork, Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey watched Saturday as the first graduate of Blaine County’s new Volunteer Reserve Law Enforcement Program graduated and received a diploma from the Police Officers Standards and Training course (POST) in Meridian. Wood River Valley resident Aaron Hughston was one of 30 Idaho volunteers to complete the demanding 10-week course, Reserve Level One. Hughston, who owns Tamarack Sports in Hailey, is the first of a volunteer team of professional reserve deputies prepared to assist the community. Ramsey said that volunteers like Hughston will be able to of-
fer reinforcement for high-profile events such as Hailey’s Fourth of July Parade. “While these are underway, local needs continue, resulting in increased demand for law enforcement. The Blaine County Volunteer Reserve Law Enforcement Program will be a community asset, saving taxpayer dollars while providing professionally trained reserve deputies within the Valley. An additional benefit is the perspective these deputies will bring to the community as volunteers working with full time deputies connected with the community.” Hughston said the process to become a reserve deputy is challenging. By the time all requirements are met, he will have volunteered in excess of 1,200 hours studying, completing requirements and commut-

Kevin Na was the 54-hole leader at -12. All week he had owned the tough back nine, but on Sunday it owned him, and he finished at 8 under. The 54-hole leader seldom wins here. Na had a peculiar characteristic. At the tee, he addressed the ball like a predator does prey. He repeatedly walked away from the tee, talked to himself and took practice swings, afraid to hit the ball until he was ready. The histrionics often took 40 seconds, and the officials had to warn him. On the back nine, he missed two short putts and plopped an approach shot into the water. See y’all at the Open.

Food Revolution Day Sparks Healthy Grocery Tour STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
J
amie Oliver’s Food Revolution will make its mark on Ketchum this Saturday. Idaho’s Bounty, Main Street Market and Nurture/Healthy Kids Ideas Exchange are hosting a Healthy Grocery Shopping Tour as part of Food Revolution Day on Saturday. The local event is one of thousands being held in 25 countries around the world as part of the British celebrity chef’s efforts to promote better food and a change in people’s eating habits. The tour will feature food samples from recipes inspired by the spring and summer seasons, said Kathryn Guylay, a nutrition educator with Nurture/Healthy Kids and one of the guides for Saturday’s tour. “We aim to offer open discussion about the challenges people have when putting healthy meals on the family table and to brainstorm ways to overcome those challenges,” she said. “Knowing where our food comes from, how it was produced, being able to identify local food sources as well as knowing how to cook our own meals and enjoy doing it—these are important skills necessary to make the right food choices every day. Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day gives us all the opportunity to join thousands of people around the world in
empowering each other with these skills.” The tour will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Main Street Market, 100 N. Main St. in Ketchum. Tour participants will spend 45 minutes touring the store and the remaining 45 minutes tasting recipes. Participants will receive a take-home recipe book, handouts about meal planning and shopping tips and coupons. Oliver founded the day to draw attention to poor food choices that have caused obesity to more than double since 1980. For the first time in history, he says, being overweight is killing more people than being underweight. At least 2.8 million adults around the world die each year because of being overweight or obese, he said, and 42 million children under 5 are already obese. To register for Saturday’s grocery tour, go to the Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Day website at www.foodrevolutionday.com and type in “Ketchum” in the Find an Event box on the left-hand side of the page. Or register at http://gidsy.com/activities/7569/healthy-grocerystore-tour Participants must pre-register for the event. Organizers are requesting a $5 donation that will be donated to Oliver’s projects supporting food education in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. tws

his coming Saturday is Armed Forces Day. It is a day set aside to pay tribute to the men and women who serve with the United States’ Armed Forces. Louis Johnson, who was the Secretary of Defense in 1949, announced the creation of this day to replace separate Armed Forces days and so the first Armed Forces Day was celebrated on May 20, 1950. I’m always in favor of celebrating our brave men and women, so with that in mind, I think a nice little red, white, and blue dessert is in order, and this one is just that:
answers on page 13
Grapefruit Zabaglione Over Mixed Berries Serves 6
Ingredients:
3 C. mixed berries (such as quartered strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) 4 egg yolks 1/3 C. sugar 1/4 C. fresh grapefruit juice (I used the red kind) Pink kosher salt Grated grapefruit zest
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Directions:
In a large bowl, toss the berries together. Spoon the berries into serving dishes or glasses. Combine the egg yolks with the sugar, grapefruit juice and salt in the top part of a double boiler or in a glass or metal dish that will act like the top of a double boiler. Beat the ingredients with a wire whisk until the mixture is a pale yellow. If you don’t have a double boiler, find a lower pan that is large enough to accommodate your upper bowl without the bottom of the upper bowl being able to touch the bottom of the lower pan. Place a little water in your bottom pan, being careful that the top bowl or double boiler top DOES NOT touch the water. SIMMER the water in the lower pan, being careful that it does not evaporate, and keep whisking the egg yolk mixture continually for 4 to 5 minutes—or until the mixture has become creamy, thick, and about triple volume. Spoon the mixture over the berries and top with a sprinkling of the zest and a dab of Greek yogurt. Serve immediately and—voila!—a delicious and lovely red, white, and blue dessert. This is a dish that my mother made often and it was definitely a favorite of mine. There are varieties of it as follows: for the traditional Italian dish for dessert, instead of grapefruit juice, Madeira, Marsala or sherry is used. For a more delicate flavor with a fluffier appearance, you can beat the egg whites until stiff and combine them after you have made your egg yolk sauce. For the German version, you can place in a double boiler top 2 cups of white wine, 1/2 cup of water, 4 unbeaten eggs, 1/2 cup sugar and continue as in the directions above. It’s also a nice sauce to serve over or with pound cake. Actually, it’s such an easy and delightful dessert to create and enjoy that one can now find variations of it in many foreign countries. tws

what is True Wellness BY ALYSHA OCLASSEN
A
friend recently sent me a short video documentary of a 95-year-old woman. This woman, Maia, is shown in her home cooking, outside watering her garden, and on her porch doing stretches and other exercises, many from the Pilates and yoga systems. The video is only a few minutes long. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear about her family, her history, or her accomplishments. What we see is a small slice of her daily routine after nearly a century of life. Maia fascinated me and I found myself watching it over and over, taking in the lines in her face and pausing the stream to look at her eyes. While it is impressive that a woman of those years could be so mobile, it is no secret that Pilates and yoga do incredible things for the body. What I found amazing was the peace I saw in her eyes. It is easy to recognize someone who has truly found contentmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they breathe differently from the rest of us. They move more slowly, not aimlessly; they walk fluidly and with purpose. There is zero weight on their shoulders. Maia is asked what is her secret for long life. Her reply: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simplicity, work and enjoyment.â&#x20AC;? At first these words seemed odd. Traditionally, in my world, work tends to make my life feel less simple and, while I do like my job, there are days when staying home sounds better. There appears to be a contradiction in those three words put together. But maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point. Maybe Maia found that the best way for her to find contentment was keeping it simple by working to enjoy life.
Here I would like to quote a friend: â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is easier said than done.â&#x20AC;? How right she is. We all know we should do what we love; they teach us that in kindergarten. But after years of living and working, the days can all blend together, creating a monotony that feels so dull at times itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stifling. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it has to be this way. I think we learn to be bored and cynical rather than to be wide-eyed and appreciative of how beautiful life really is. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my challenge for all those seeking true wellness. Widen your eyes. Look up right now and find something, anything, to be amazed by and thankful for. Most obvious to me is the incredibly gorgeous weather this spring. Need more options? The birds singing, the sweetness of an apple, the perfect vanilla lattĂŠ, the fresh smell after a rain storm, comfortable shoes, a dog dreaming, wind through lilac bushes, a full tank of gas, children laughing, the fact that hands fit together so wellâ&#x20AC;Ś Maia struck a cord with me because she awoke in me a lesson that is well worth relearning and may hold the key to contentment: When you start counting your blessings, you may find you have too many to count. With that many wonderful things in your life, it starts to look pretty awesome! A million blessings to you all. tws
When Your Aging Parents are Far Away, the Care Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Have to Be BY MICHELLE SANDOZ
W
ith advice from the experts, caring for aging parents may be easier and a lot less traumatic than you think. Here are some tips from the MetLife Mature Market InstituteÂŽ on what to do when your parents need care and they are far away: â&#x20AC;˘ Before the need arises, it is a good idea to talk with your parents. Make suggestions, but avoid dictating. â&#x20AC;˘ Know your parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health history, current medications and names of doctors and hospitals. â&#x20AC;˘ Know where the important legal papers are located. Ask if they have a will and a living will and durable power of attorney. Know their attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and phone number. â&#x20AC;˘ Do they have long-term care insurance? Where is the policy located? What does it cover? â&#x20AC;˘ Do they have the financial resources to obtain in-home care or nursing home care, should the need arise? â&#x20AC;˘ Learn what resources may be available. Align with local support systems before problems arise. The town senior center may be one source of information. â&#x20AC;˘ Visit assisted living and nursing home facilities in your
parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area and in your area, should it become necessary to move your parents. â&#x20AC;˘ Depending on the situation, you may find it appropriate to apply for a facility and place your parents on a waiting list. â&#x20AC;˘ You may want to consider obtaining a geriatric care manager. Retaining a care manager does not imply a lack of compassion; having to manage work, home and family is difficult for all caregivers. For a fee, care managers help to ensure that all facets of a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care are addressed. Contact the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers for a list of qualified managers, visit www.caremanager.org or call 520-881-8008 for more information. â&#x20AC;˘ Call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET. They will provide you with the phone numbers for your stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department on Aging and your local area agency on aging. You can find them online at www.eldercare.gov. â&#x20AC;˘Â National organizationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; AARP offers a large variety of resources and information online at www.aarp.org or phone 800424-3410. â&#x20AC;˘Â Home care agenciesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the National Association for Home Care can assist with location
of home care agencies in your parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area. Find them on the Web at www.nahc.org or call 202-547-7424. You can never be 100 percent prepared for any caregiving situation, but organizing and researching eldercare information and resources prior to the situation will give you peace of mind. The MetLife Mature Market Institute and the National Alliance for Caregiving have compiled a publication, Resources for Caregivers: Insurance Specialists can also provide a number of publications on caregiving. I have assisted a number of clients with interpreting the long-term care insurance policy that their parents have acquired. For the publication on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resources for Caregivers,â&#x20AC;? please feel free to contact my office. Watch for my next article on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Consequences and Impact on Caregiving.â&#x20AC;? tws

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, I need your help. After years of mowing the lawn and struggling to start the weed whacker, I had enough. I tossed them all in the garbage and called a lawn service I found in the classifieds. This has worked out great! Now on Saturday I can kick back and watch the game while someone else works. However, now my wife wants to follow my lead and toss the vacuum cleaner to hire a cleaning service. The problem is that we can't afford both. Paying for a lawn service already stretched the budget, but my wife is being persistent. Do you have any suggestions on how to straighten this out without losing my lawn service?
â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘
Cash: Sounds like quite the
mess. And since you can't afford another service to help clean it up, you're going to have to work this one out on your own. Carry: Having someone else do the chores around the house is a great luxury, if you can afford it. However since your budget couldn't accommodate both services, you and your wife should have talked about expenses prior to hiring help.
Fast Facts Couch Potato
If you're looking for a good reason to get off the couch and clean the house or mow the grass, then you're in luck. It's great exercise. The average 150-pound person can burn up to 250 calories per hour cleaning the house, even more if it requires a little elbow grease. Mowing the lawn can burn up to 390 calories an hour if you use a push mower. Even just riding the tractor can burn 175 calories per hour.

Cash: Fortunately there are several solutions to your problem. The downside is that they all require you to get off the sofa on Saturday. Carry: Your wife has a valid point in that it's not fair for you to hire a lawn service while she is still left with all the household chores. If you're both looking for a break, you might consider alternating the services that you hire. The lawn service could come one week, and the cleaning service comes the next. Cash: That way both you and your wife can kick back and relax. Carry: Another way to keep the lawn service is to start pitching in
Reader Humor Green Acres
around the house and share the household chores. Just think of pushing a vacuum around the house like pushing a lawn mower, except you won't have the aggravation of getting it started. Cash: Now since your biggest complaint about mowing the lawn was your equipment, keep reading the classifieds for a more reliable tractor and weed whacker. There is a lot of quality equipment for sale that could make mowing the lawn easier. Carry: That may give you the best solution yet for keeping your wife happy. She could hire the cleaning service and relax while you mow the lawn.
Weekend Warrior
Do you bypass the safety features on your lawnmower, like tying a cord around the hand brake so it won't shut off when you let go? If so, its time to rethink your actions. Every year more than 10,000 people are seriously injured in lawnmower accidents. That's why the government passed the 1982 federal safety standards for lawnmowers that require devices like brake control mechanisms. These handles shut down the engine in three seconds or less when you let go. The standards also incorporated safety features like foot shields and better warning labels for consumers. â&#x20AC;˘

My birthday was coming up and my wife wanted to surprise me. Although she never helps with the yard work, she decided to mow the lawn so I could have my weekend free. She did pretty well, starting up the tractor and driving it around the lawn. She was just finishing when I arrived home from work. Surprise!" she yelled as she turned off the tractor. "I've spent two hours riding the mower. What do you think?" "You did great!" I encouraged looking at the tall grass. "But next time you might want to engage the mower blade." (Thanks to Chris L.)

518 raves The homemade chicken pot pie I got at the Ketchum Atkinsons’ on May 11th was AWESOME; Marlys and everyone else there in the Deli do an amazing job!! I recently rented that superb dark comedy/melodrama, “Young Adult”, and I can’t recommend it too strongly -- particularly to high school-age kids, who, with any luck, will be persuaded to NOT become what Charlize Theron’s often extremely self-centered/seflish character has in the film. Outstanding acting throughout (particularly by “King Of Queens” regular Patton Oswalt), and featuring some of the very best directing work Jason Reitman (“Juno”, “Up In the Air”, “Thank You For Smoking”) has done to date.Very moving ... and very funny, both.

Mark Bolender Connecting the Dots VALLEY TRAINER PROFILES BY MIA EDSALL
M
ark Bolender has been riding for 16 years. He became a professional horse trainer five years ago when people started asking him for help. Previously, he was an engineer and a banker. Bolender has studied horses and horse training by riding with great masters, studying history and watching horses in a herd. He began to connect the dots from ancient to present and developed a unique way to begin and maintain a partnership with horses. He has a knack and talent to help people with horses. Bolender uses the instinct of horses to relate to them and they volunteer their instinctual response predictably. He demonstrates that this way of relating makes life nicer for the horse and rider. Says Bolender, “We give them the gift of dignity when we are a consistent leader. It’s very clear to the horse when done according to these principles. It’s their language and
they quickly become useful, safe and willing.” The four principles of instinct that Bolender wrote are: 1. The horse has no equal in the pecking order. We must be the leader (like the alpha mare). 2. To be the leader, we must be clear and consistent. 3. Horses try to please the alpha. They have no regard for underlings. 4. Instinct is not right or wrong, it just is. Instinct determines who a horse will follow. The result is a bold and quiet horse. Bolender teaches us to allow them to succeed by allowing them, not forcing or making them. Bolender specializes in a new discipline called Mountain Trail, open to all breeds and levels. He frequently teaches in the Wood River Valley and also offers trail course design and building.
