ot a knack for barbecue? You could win a fourburner charbroil stainless steel gas grill donated by Lowe’s in Twin Falls or a host of other prizes in Saturday’s BBQ Cook-off. The cook-off—a benefit for the Hailey Rodeo Park expansion which will include an expanded skatepark, covered ice rink and events center—will also feature music by Saddlestrings and Ernie Sites. Backyard chefs may enter any or all of six categories: beef, poultry, vegetarian, lamb, pork and Dutch oven. Entry fee is $25

per class and you can fire up the grill at 8 in the morning. Five judges will begin judging at noon with the final judging at 6. Fifty spectators can pony up $5 to judge and vote in People’s Choice. While the barbecuing is taking place inside the arena, a skateboard contest will be going on outside, where there also will be food vendors, a beer garden and artisans. Saddlestrings, a Western group out of Heber City, Utah, will begin performing at 11 a.m., ending with a concert from 6 to 7 p.m. There also will be music and

General admission is $5 per person, with children under 6 admitted free. “We’re trying to show how fun it will be once it’s completed. It’s going to be an event center, not just a rodeo arena,” said Lorna Hazelton, a member of the Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club organizing the fundraiser.

Regulation rarely works

I

n the past several months we have had plenty of news coverage about the failure of regulatory agencies to properly oversee by: JIMA the banking and Rice, Ph.D. oil industries. Regulatory failure should not be a surprise, however. It has always happened and always will in virtually any industry that we might choose to regulate. We shouldn’t expect otherwise given elements of human nature: relationships tend to arise from proximity and familiarity, conflict-avoidance is high, and ethical standards are mutable. The job of calling to account faulty or outright illegal behavior requires a regulator to stand up to power holders with deep expertise and determined agendas in the

f you think you hear a tinkling while you’re a-walking, check out the Vaseflower, also known as the Sugar Bowl or Hairy Clematis. This hairy, bell-shaped purple flower, found in late spring and early summer after the snows melt, is a member of the buttercup family. This particular one was found growing with its kin in the Democrat Gulch area this past week. Pioneers boiled its leaves to treat headaches. And the Navajo Indians used the root to treat nose congestion. Be careful, though: some members of the genus are mildly poisonous, according to Plant-Life.org

briefs Voci Inginium at Kidz Extravaganza Voci Inginium (talented voices) will kick off this Thursday, June 3 at 6 p.m., at The Wicked Spud in Hailey with their 3rd Annual Kidz Extravaganza. This live music is in conjunction with the Kids Carnival that same day. There will be live music from 6 to 8 p.m. and a raffle, with ticket sales benefiting the Pat Schwab Memorial for the High School Music Department. The raffle prize is an Ibanez Guitar Package in honor of Paula Schwab who recently lost her 23-year-old son, Alex Schwab.

Schwab was a talented musician and this raffle is also in honor of his late father’s music fund program at the high school. Following this, there will be live entertainment at The Spud every Friday night from 6–8 p.m. throughout the summer. Interested in performing? Contact Mitzi Mecham at Notes Music, 7882496, to sign up. Voci Inginium wants to hear from local talented musicians around the Valley.

CSI’s Square-Foot Gardening class Certified square-foot gardening teacher Pati Meyer says it’s not only possible, but “guaranteed!” One night only, Wednesday, June 2, from 6 to 8 p.m., Meyer will teach students how to grow vegetables, herbs and flowers in only 6 inches of soil. She has grown 16 heads of lettuce and four stalks of corn—producing 40 ears of corn—as well as 6-foot-high tomato plants!

Planting in a square-foot garden uses 80 percent less space and water, and 95 percent fewer seeds. No fertilizers are used, no thinning is required, and gardens can be planted in any season. “Kids love to garden,” said Meyer. “This is a great family project, and it’s earth-friendly.” To register call the CSI Blaine County Center at (208) 7882033. Tuition is $50.

Wood River Trail weed control As directed by Idaho Law, the Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) will commence its 2010 integrated pest management (IPM) plan to control noxious weeds (knapweed, Dalmatian toadflax, thistle, puncture vine, and koccia) along the Wood River Trail with spot applications of federal-, state- and county-approved herbicides. Due to inclement weather, the en-

tire Wood River Trail will continue to be spot-sprayed in the early mornings of Wednesday through Friday, June 2-4. Environmental Resources is scheduled to do the spraying. The project will be rescheduled if unfavorable weather conditions occur such as wind or rain. For more info contact Eric Rector, Blaine County Recreation District, 208-578-BCRD or erector@bcrd.org.

Free document shred event On Thursday, June 10th, professional document shredding company ToreUp will be in Hailey for a free demonstration of their services. The event is being hosted by Copy & Print, Theweeklypaper, and The Real Estate Magazine for the benefit of their customers. Those customers will be able to shred up to one case of documents

at no cost. Additional quantities can also be handled at that time for just $6 per box. Reservations may be made by calling any of the businesses, or calling Copy & Print direct at 788-4200.

You need to know this about the Garth Brooks concert By KAREN BOSSICK

D

on’t have a few hundred dollars for the Garth Brooks concert? How does $25 sound? The Sun Valley Summer Symphony has opened up lawn seating for its 6:30 p.m. Aug. 1 benefit fundraiser featuring country superstar Garth Brooks due to unprecedented interest in the concert. The tickets, which go on sale June 12, will cost only $25. And that includes tax and service

charges. Of course, the $25 tickets come with a caveat. The stage is visible to only a small portion of the lawn. But Sun Valley’s state-of-the-art advanced LARES-Lexicon sound system will enhance the sound. And high visibility LED screens will allow lawn ticket holders to watch Brooks on stage. The Symphony is currently selling tickets for about 1,500 seats inside the Pavilion. But those tickets are at a premium price since this is a fundraising

concert, said Jennifer Teisinger, executive director of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. Pavilion tickets, available by calling 208-622-5607, include a parking pass and pre-concert cocktail reception on the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace. Lawn tickets do not include the terrace party. But lawn ticket holders will be permitted to bring a picnic and non-alcoholic beverages. Beverages and light fare will also be available for purchase. Lawn seating opens at 4 p.m.

Since there are no chairs, lawn ticket holders can bring their own blankets or low backed chairs. Lawn tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 12. Each purchaser is limited to four tickets. Charge online at www. svsummersymphony.org, by phone at 208-578-4229. Brooks, the top selling solo artist in U.S. history, retired in 2001 to spend more time with his children but came out of retirement in late 2009 to do some engagements at Sun Valley

resident Steve Wynn’s Encore Theatre in Las Vegas. It was Wynn who lassoed him for his appearance with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. Brooks will perform solo and together with the symphony orchestra during his Aug. 1 appearance in Sun Valley. The benefit concert—the only one the symphony does each year—supports two weeks of free concerts and the symphony’s music educational programs for Wood River Valley youngsters. twp

Casting for Recovery By RIAN ERVIN

C

asting for Recovery is a non-profit organization that holds retreats all over the U.S. and Canada for women who currently have, or have had breast cancer. This organization provides a unique opportunity for a select group of women to go on a two and a half day retreat, where they learn the art of flyfishing. The retreats incorporate counseling and healing in a calm, natural environment. Any woman, in any stage of breast cancer is eligible to apply for these retreats, and participants are randomly selected from an applicant pool. The retreats are offered at no cost to participants and are run by trained volunteers. The annual Idaho Retreat will take place June 4 through 6 at the Living Waters Ranch in Challis. Julie Meissner, lead casting instructor for the Idaho Branch of Casting for Recovery, has been working with the Idaho organization since it first began, four years ago. Idaho’s natural environment is a great setting for Casting for Recovery’s focus on fly-fishing. The motion of casting provides the ideal, gentle exercise for participants who have had any kind of operation, and fly-fishing also helps the participants to refocus their lives on something fun and new rather than concentrating on their problems, says Meissner. Throughout the retreat, psychotherapy is offered as well as classes on fly-tying, casting, and etymology. Participants receive expert guidance about what kind of bugs they will see while fishing, how to tie flies, and

correct casting technique. The fourteen women participating in this year’s program will conclude their retreat by putting their newfound fly-fishing skills to the test at Blue Mountain Pond in Challis on Sunday, where they will be accompanied by volunteers from the Wood River Valley and Stanley Basin. This year, two staff members hail from the Wood River Valley, and four guides from Silver Creek will be helping as “riverhelpers” on Sunday. The number of applicants has increased every year since the Idaho branch began, and Meissner has observed that participants come from all over Idaho and are varied in both age and stage of treatment. Meissner says that responses to the retreats have been very positive, and although there have been some participants that were initially tentative, all were ultimately very grateful for their experiences. Fundraising for the retreats is done all over Idaho, and Meissner hopes to incorporate more participation from the Ketchum/Sun Valley area in the future. Casting for Recovery provides a unique experience for women whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer, because instead of intense focus on the disease and self-help, the program instead places women in peaceful, natural setting where they are able to heal physically and mentally through the sport of fly-fishing. For more information on Casting for Recovery or to apply for future retreats, visit their website: www.castingforrecovery.org twp

School graduate and son of theater and film star Richard Dreyfuss, said Albee’s play works because of its mix of drama and comedy. “If it was all drama, it would be difficult to watch.

I

t sits on the windowsill in my livingroom waiting to mirrow my thoughts, feelings, and inner-reflections each morning. Immersing myself in the glistening, magical colors, circles of light, and geodetic designs all merging to form a perfect pattern, I focus my full awareness into what is known as a kaleidoscope. At the end of the tubelike instrument is a small cylinder case filled with bits and pieces of dichroic glass. The different magical colors depend on the angle of light falling on each piece.As thae case is rotated, beautiful shapes come into view. It brings about childhood memories, but more than that, it allows me to focus beyond knowing that as as the bits and pieces of my life unfold, I work toward a more perfect pattern. In 1816, the kaleidoscope was invented by Sir David Brewster who, at the age of 35, was already a renowned British philosopher, writer, scientist and inventor. The word itself is derived from the Greek kalos eidos scopein, meaning beautiful form to view. In my Energy Work, which includes Reiki (universal life force) and Chakra balancing, I teach the therapeutic value of colors. Color is energy! Have you ever looked at a rainbow without experiencing a feeling of delight. As the energy runs through you, the temptation is to call to all the people around you to share the feeling of joy. We are surrounded by living color. Nature

reveals to us the shadow of trees upon a lake...ferns nestled in the forest...the hills alive with the color of wildflowers in the spring...white clouds floating under a blue sky...and many more such images. This wonderful mystery of the changing patterns and constant renewal of nature is like peering through a kaleidoscope. It symbolizes life. Every action we take sets in motion either discord or harmony in our lives. The drama is a constant process of shaping and reshaping. Everybody wants change. Only fear and stored befiefs hold us back in the process. They are related, work well together, and take years to dissolve. How enlightening to know that at each given moment we are free to make new choices as the bits and pieces fall into place. Pretend you are on top of the world looking down. Take a glimpse of interrelatedness of life on earth forming a pattern similar to the circle in a kaleidoscope. How the design evolves is dependent upon each individual. We are creating a scope with our expression of life as we move toward a more twp perfect pattern.

I have local produce: what do I do now? Locavore is the word du jour, and what an admirable goal! Eating locally is good for our local economy, good for our air quality, and good for our health, but there are other important considerations for greening up your kitchen chores. First, basic cooking skills are tantamount. Recipes are a great way to build your vocabulary of quick and easy, healthy meals, but a more important question is, do you know how to cook what you have on hand? Beautiful local produce from the Farmer’s Market won’t benefit you if it rots in the fridge. Alice Waters can teach you the basics: In the Green Kitchen. Teaching your children how to cook will do them a lifetime of good. Secondly, be energy efficient in the kitchen. Don’t leave the

faucet on the whole time you’re at the sink, or run a half-full dishwasher. Explore energy-efficient cooking with your slow cooker and toaster oven. Cooking Green by Kate Heyhoe covers energy and time efficiency in the kitchen. The Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Judith Finlayson has the recipes covered. Thirdly, we already know we should eat less meat and more grains, fruits, and vegetables, so delve into Tal Ronnen’s The Conscious Cook for tasty ideas.

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR JUne 2, 2010 • By: Jim sanTa

T

his past weekend marked the official opening of Idaho’s rivers and streams and we’ve had some positive reports from this first weekend. Rarely the case, we were actually able to fish the Big Wood, which is more typically “blown out” on opening weekend. The delay in runoff due to the cool spring weather allowed us this opportunity. Water level were still challenging, but some fish were to be found in the slower edges of runs, inside bends and side channels. Heavilyweighted nymphs and buggers are the usual choice for the higher water levels of spring. This fishable water will not likely last long, as the forecast is for a bit warmer temperatures and some rainfall. All the late-season snow we had at higher elevations will come down and the river will come up. The good news with this is that water levels should hold up better later in the season. Late June/early July would be my best prediction for good fishing conditions to begin on the Big Wood. Silver Creek, as usual in the early season, will be our main focus and reports from this weekend ere good of some good fishing. Much of the best action was subsurface, but there were also some pmds hatching during warmer afternoon hours and fish taking dry flies. When fishing the creek this time of season, your arsenal could include a variety of pmd dries, large beetles, small natural nymphs, damsel nymphs and, if you so chose, some large streamer patterns. Of course, one of the premier hatches, the brown drake, is due to commence any day now and this provides the opportunity to fish big dries to big fish; don’t head for the creek without a supply of these. This hatch is as unpredictable as the weather right now and the only way to catch it is to spend a lot of time down at the Creek for the next couple of weeks. If you happen to hit it right, it can be quite a spectacle of bugs and fish. Don’t forget your headlamp! We’ve just begun what should be another great fishing season. I’ll look forward to bringing you these weekly reports, and please stop by Sturtevants in both Ketchum and Hailey for more good “free” advice!

Kick up your kilt: Highland Games Courting in the sage sun valley celtic faire and scottish heavy events schedule

By KAREN BOSSICK

I

magine tossing a 90- to 120-pound log end over end. Or hurling a 16- to 20-pound bag of hay over a crossbar with a three-tined pitchfork. You don’t have to imagine. You can try it for yourself—or simply watch others try it—this weekend at the inaugural Sun Valley Celtic Faire and Scottish Heavy Events. The event kicks off Friday with a Pub Crawl marked by men in kilts singing along with the Celtic band Guess When. And it continues Saturday and Sunday at Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road with entertainment and competitions geared for youth and adults. The games start in earnest at 1 p.m. Saturday when representatives from the cities of Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey, Bellevue and Carey will compete for the title of Strongest City via a tug-of-war tournament. A Youth Challenge Competition will follow from 2:30 to 9 p.m., with youth ranging in age from 8 to 16 competing in three different age categories. The band Guess When will perform starting at 1 p.m. and Irish Dance Idaho will have several performances through the day. And, the Pub Crawl will be repeated that evening. The Sun Valley Strongman Competition will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday with seven divisions of athletes competing, from novice to expert. Guess When will perform again. Tom Janzen, a member of the Scottish American Athletic Association-Idaho, said the Highland Games can be traced to 1136 A.D., making them second only to the Olympic Games in antiquity. They were tests of strength, skill and endurance meant to keep Scotsmen battle-ready in times of peace, said the Boise man. Some of the events reflect Scotland’s agrarian nature— the hammer throw, for instance, stems from blacksmith traditions. Tossing the caber or log might stem from the act of tossing logs across streams so the Scots could keep their feet dry as they crossed. The Sheaf Toss, which involves hurling hay over a crossbar, may hearken to the time when ancient Scots pitched bales of burning hay over castle walls. Men and women also compete to see who can throw 14- to 56-pound weights and “hammers� made of metal balls attached to wooden handles the farthest and the highest. The faire is a new event sponsored by the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber and Visitors Bureau and Mountain Town Events in cooperation with the Scottish American Athletic Association-Idaho. The event is expected to bring competitors from the Western U.S. to town as the tourist season is beginning to crank up. If all goes according to plan, Janzen said, the event could host the Northwest Regional Divisional Championship next twp year and eventually a national competition.

Friday, June 4, 7-9 p.m. Pub Crawl 7-7:30 at CIRO; 7:45 - 8:15 at The Cellar Pub; 8:30 - 9:00 at Smoky’s; and 9:15- 9:45 at Lefty’s Saturday, June 5 spectators $5 and children under 8 free 1-2 p.m. Challenge of the Cities via a tug-of-war tournament. 1:30 p.m. Registration for Youth Challenge competition. Entrants receive a commemorative T-shirt and medals for first, second and third place for each event, as well as best overall score. There will be three age brackets: 8-10 years, 11-13 years and 14-16 years. Cost to compete: $10. 2:30-9 p.m. Youth Challenge Competition in eight categories: obstacle course, throwing a weight over a bar, throwing a weight for distance, Scottish hammer (throwing a shaft from a standing position), stone put, foot race, tug-o-war and caber turn (turning a log over and away). The band Guess When will perform on the Main Stage starting at 1 p.m. and Irish Dance Idaho will perform throughout the day. 7-9 p.m. Pub Crawl 7-7:30 at Papa Hemi’s; 7:45 - 8:15 at Sushi on Second; 8:30-9 at The Sawtooth Club; 9:15-9:45 at The Roosevelt Grille; and 9:45 - 10:15 at The Casino Sunday, June 6 spectators $5 and children under 8 free 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun Valley Strongman Competition 8:30 a.m. Registration. It costs $15 to compete; preregistration may be completed online at www.saaaidaho.org. All competitors will receive a T-shirt. Traditional Scottish strongman games will include the throwing of the weights, putting the stone, hammer throwing, caber toss, sheaf toss and weight over bar. There will be seven divisions of athletes, including novice, men’s lightweight (200 pounds and under), women’s and men’s master (40 and over). Judges will instruct those who have not competed before. The band Guess When will perform throughout the day.

S

oon after secreting away one of the silver-laden pantechnicons in a remote high-desert area, I rendezvoused with Amy and the busload of eager school children she had driven down for our overnight field trip to Trapezoid Lake. By evening twilight we gathered enough dry sage for a small campfire near the wall tents, along with some out-of-thisworld rabbit stew that Amy had cooked up. As nearby planets etched their elliptical orbits against the Milky Way’s silvery fog, the children’s appetites were whet for story time. Feeling like a young Ivan Swaner spinning a fanciful tale, I recounted how we had discovered substantial silver in the cairns, aided by Clark’s anagram clue. As the sage grouse settled down in the background from their ritualistic mating dances, I announced to the children that they would soon have some input as to how we should invest the second silver wagon stuffed full of cash. I glanced at Amy across the smoky campfire, and as she leaned with Bud against the wagon, something good stirred inside me. I appreciated how she had taken care of my pets while I was on the wild, Red House, Nevada, adventure, and now she had even brought the schoolchildren down for this beautiful overnight excursion. I was starting to look at her in a brighter light, when suddenly that well-worn copy of Catcher in the Rye flashed at me from her back pocket. My first inclination was to

snatch this cursed book and thrust it toward the sputtering campfire. But then, I caught myself, and remembered how this book has some redeeming qualities, once you learn how to read between the lines. Plus, there was no sense in making a scene in front of the schoolchildren, and tarnishing the sage grouse courting ritual we had brought them down here for. I could tell that they were into this natural ceremony, too, as, when I went into the wall tent to check my e-mail before retiring, I noticed that the group had posted the video of the wildly fluttering grouse they had filmed onto my Max Rudolph Facebook wall. As the children began drifting off under the dancing stars, I delicately reminded them that tomorrow would also be a big day for our group, as we planned to explore that sacred cave area, near where the new airport would be built. I wanted them to envision how this proposed project would play a large part in their futures, as well as letting them have an actual say on its impact. Before retiring, Amy and I drew near, and held each other close by the campfire, with the grouse romantically murmuring in the background, among the drifting scents of desert sage. Like the book in her back pocket, it slowly dawned on me that there was much more depth to Amy than I had initially recognized, and that in this awakening spring atmosphere, I suddenly wanted to learn everything good about her earthly nature‌ twp To be continued‌

Camas Lily Days: a cultural celebration

O

nce again, the Camas Chamber of Commerce and Camas Art Council will present the unique, annual, two-day Camas Lily Days festival. It will take place at the City Park in Fairfield this Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6, and is expected to be bigger and better than ever. The event kicks off on Saturday with a free kids fishing derby at 8 a.m., and is followed by a semi-private event (for viewing only) in which the ShoshoneBannock Native Americans will run across the Camas Prairie, a tradition to signal the start of the camas root harvest. After that, you can meander over to City Park for arts and crafts in the park and drum-making lessons. On Sunday, everything starts up again at 8 a.m. where festival attendees can enjoy a cowboy breakfast or get ready for the kids fun run and adult 5k run/walk, which starts at 9 a.m. Then, it’s back to the park for more festivities, including a raffle and culminating in the afternoon with the Sho-Ban tribe performing a series of ceremonial dances, including singing and drum playing. The tribe has been coming to Fairfield for the past six years to carry on the tradition of their ancestors and to perform ceremonial dances. To begin the presentation at last year’s festival, a father and son performed a “love song,� drumming and singing together, followed by a series of eight dances, which were accompanied by the drumming and singing of traditional honor songs. The tribe preformed together, individually, and in groups based on their age. The tribe educates members of all ages and children typically begin dancing at the age of five

Author’s Note

The odd bedfellows who came together to help pass a levy that will remodel the Hailey rodeo arena was pretty amazing, what with hockey players joining hands with rodeo buffs and rodeo riders joining hands with skateboarders. Becki Keefer, a spokesperson for the Hailey Parks and Land Board, says the effort mirrored

how the community of Hailey came together to build the rodeo arena in 1947. Hailey civic leaders donated part of a ballpark and racetrack for the arena. Sun Valley Resort donated the bucking chutes from its rodeo arena, while bleachers came from the old Bellevue racetrack and Nampa’s Snake River Stampede. Students from the welding class at Hailey High School dug postholes and strung wire mesh for the corrals, while the Sawtooth Rangers Riding Club did the rest of the work. The Hailey Times donated the first $25 to the cause, prompting other businesses and individuals to respond with their own donations of $25, $15 and $10. And the Hillside Ranch in Gannett supplied livestock to entertain the 6,000 people who crowded into Hailey that first year to celebrate what was the beginning of the Hailey Days of the Old West Rodeo. twp

closer to the truth, they also get closer to the dark secrets of the family. The performances by the two leads are exceptional and the direction by the Swedish director Niels Arden Oplev weaves the tale of intrigue expertly. The ins and outs of the story will satisfy all mystery buffs and keep the audience guessing throughout. The Swedish subtitles may be daunting to some, but they can wait if they want for the inferior American remake. twp

This week’s Horoscopes: taskmaster Saturn out of retrograde, moving forward Saturn, that stern taskmaster of the zodiac, has been traveling retrograde for nearly all of 2010. So when this Father Time of a character changes his ways and takes a forward route, we’ll start to feel some momentum in our lives, as well. You may feel as though you passed a test and are now allowed to move on to the next adventure. Restrictions will be lifted. Bad habits are broken, and healthy ones are implemented. ARIES (March 21-April 19). We know your sign mate Leonardo da Vinci as a genius for the ages. It might surprise you that he spent his last years wondering whether he had made a difference with his life. You’re not alone in your feelings of self-doubt. Persevere anyway. Those beside you and those who come after you will be grateful.

Movie Trivia

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Professional jealousy is one of those things that can either help or hinder. To the extent that it compels you to do better and better work, it’s a positive. You can let it drive you in this way this week. But it’s a fine line. If you’re staring in the mirror wondering why not you, then you probably need to let it go. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People love you. Young and old, rich and poor, you just have that uncanny ability to connect to all different types. It’s not complicated -- they love you because you are interested in their stories. Now someone you barely know wants to tell you his story, and you’ll be intrigued enough to listen a long while.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whoever said hard work was its own reward was missing a screw on his cranium cap. You are not afraid to bust a gut working on something, but it’s usually to achieve something else you want or need. Working for its own sake is called futility and is most aptly filed under the category of sickness, not virtue. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No friend of the banal, you still find yourself in circumstances where you must deal with ideas and people that are not very inspiring. Remember that everyone has something to teach you, even the dull, and strive to work with the most creative people you can find. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Good friends are sometimes all you’ve got. After all, they are the ones in the dayto-day trenches with you, watching you make your way as best you can through this world of glorious and frightening uncertainty. This week one of your buddies makes a clutch move. It would be best to thank this person in writing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Feelings are mercurial. The daily pitch and yaw can be more harrowing than a Six Flags rollercoaster. Yes, you’re tall enough to ride, but it’s critical that you understand the inevitability of this endless up and down. Call it a survival skill. Now throw up your hands and yell as the thrill goes straight to your belly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though it’s said that opposites attract, in most instances people will choose to hang out with the ones most like themselves. Still, there will be some exceptions this week, and you’ll enjoy them. It turns out there is something very intriguing offered by the one who is strikingly different from you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be getting to the heart of things, even in relationships that do not right now seem too impactful. Your conversations will have great significance. You’ll affect someone deeply, though neither of you may realize it in the moment. Time reveals the profundities of seemingly routine interactions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The thing about adding new experiences to your life is that sometimes you get more than you bargain for. And in matters such as love, if you’re doing it for real, you absolutely can’t get into it without being affected forever. You can read and pontificate all you want on this one, but the only way to learn it is to dive in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know what you want, but do you have what it takes to actually have it in your life? The care and feeding of your dreams will cost more than you think. Luckily, you are also deeper, stronger and richer than you think, so it may all just even out. Keep going even when things get challenging this week.

ip wine, smell a rose and save a soul. The Crisis Hotline is having its third annual Spring Wine Tasting and Silent Auction from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden south of Ketchum on Highway 75. For $25, patrons can sample wines from Holesinsky Winery, Carmela Vineyards, Snyder Winery and others; sample gourmet appetizers from a variety of Ketchum and Hailey restaurateurs; and tour the garden, which is beginning to sport a variety of colorful blooms.

But serious calls have been on the rise since the economic downturn. “People are reaching out for help and our services are needed more than ever,� said Foster. “Our referral book contains more than 275 resources in our area that are available to those who need help. And we also have a teen outreach program to help teens make healthy choices, as well as a variety of other programs.� twp

or 16 years I have had the pleasure to serve and represent the citizens of my district in the Idaho Legislature. I have learned a lot about what it means to be an elected official. Many times you will find yourself caught between diverse interests. Having to resolve those differences and find common ground is an art that has been lost in a time when partisan politics has crippled our government. Today is not like my high school government class teacher promised. That is why I support Congressman Mike Simpson’s efforts to assemble balanced legislation for the Boulder-White Clouds of Central Idaho, where federal lands management issues are complex. Simpson’s Central Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act, or CIEDRA, is a finely-crafted piece of legislation that takes into account the need to preserve a piece of the Idaho backcountry the way that it has always been. This legislation also includes important provisions for economic development and public needs in Custer and Blaine counties. And, I know that the competing interests on all sides have had to give a lot to get here. The Boulder-White Clouds are the largest unprotected natural area in the lower fortyeight states. CIEDRA would preserve three Wilderness areas, including the White Clouds, Jerry Peak and the Boulders. These lands are among the most beautiful in the state of Idaho. That is why these areas are popular with hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and motorized recreationists. Although more than 330,000 acres of Wilderness would be designated by CIEDRA, popular trails such as Germania Creek, Frog Lake and Fisher-Williams would remain open to mountain bikes and motorcycles— just to name a few. Similarly, the western half of the Warm Spring drainage, Champion Lakes and the North Fork Big Lost River would not be designated as Wilderness so that snowmobile use can continue. This snowmobile use will continue despite the fact that the Sawtooth National Forest Management Plan recommended that these lands were to be designated as Wilderness. CIEDRA also transfers 900 acres of land to Custer and Blaine counties for two fire stations, a school bus turnaround, a waste transfer site, cemetery, water tower, wastewater treatment facility and other public purposes. The controversial parcels in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area have been dropped. Representative Simpson promised to deliver Wilderness preservation, economic development and other provisions when he began the task of developing this legislation. These compromises are not about “selling out.� Instead, these compromises are about finding solutions. On balance, I believe CIEDRA is the right thing to do for Central Idaho. As an elected official, I’m encouraged by the fact that Idaho’s entire Congressional delegation supports this bill. I urge them to do everything in their power to move this legislation through Congress.

Human touch at the Wellness Fest

K

ettleballs mixed with questions of spirituality. And delving into an herbal by: Karen medicine Bossick chest mixed it up with yoga at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival held over Memorial Day weekend at the Sun Valley Inn. Abraham Verghese, a doctor and author, told a few hundred people in the Sun Valley Pavilion Saturday that medicine had become too much of a trade, not a calling. Doctors have neglected their bedside manner as insurance companies have forced them to do things to people, rather than for people. “The patient in the bed has become an icon for the real patient who’s in the computer as technology has replaced the physical human touch,� he said. “I only half joke that if someone showed up missing a finger, no one would believe it until they got an MRI and a cat scan,� he added. The ritual of the patient meeting with the doctor is, however, very important, he said. It tells the patient who’s put his trust in the doctor: I will always be there. I will see you through this, he added. Even the placebo effect is not just about swallowing a pill, Verghese said. It’s about the tone of voice, the persona of the person dispensing the pill. “How sad if we give away much of the effect by not engaging in time-honored rituals,� he said. Actress and author Jamie Lee Curtis, meanwhile, said Friday night that wellness is not about having a body fit for a fashion magazine or being able to do 50 pushups. Wellness is a free mind, Curtis told nearly 400 people at the Sun Valley Inn Limelight Room. Wellness is having your own mind free from the imprints of

scene in the valley

Jamie Lee Curtis greeted fans following her keynote address Friday night.

your parents, spouse, media, society, she said. “Getting your own mind is the path of wellness. Some people do that through meditation. Some people do it through yoga. Some people do it through exercise. The important thing is to know yourself so you can help others.� Curtis, who has had a home in Sun Valley since she was 5, delivered an energetic, animated 90-minute talk, frequently dropping the names of Sun Valley ski instructors and other friends she spotted in the audience and bringing tears of laughter to many by showing off how she kept her St. Christopher medal in her bra—her “filing system.� Then she spent another halfhour fielding questions that touched on every subject, from her husband’s hydrogen cell car—one of five in the world—to her relationship with her famous father, Tony Curtis, to bowel movements. As a youngster, Curtis recalled, she loved the Sun Valley Inn because of its cafeteria where she could take as much Jell-O as she liked. “Think of it in spiritual terms,� she said. “You take your tray, go along the path, pick what you want and leave the rest.� “The Talmud says we don’t see things as they are; we see things

as we are,� she said. “That appeals to me because it makes me an active, not a passive, participant.� The operative word is change, she added. Be the change you want to be. And right now we need to bring revolutionary change to the world, which is on a suicidal course, she added. Curtis said a wise woman told her that children are like paparazzi who take your picture when you don’t want them to and show it back to you. “We wonder why our children hate themselves. It’s because when we look in the mirror, we hate ourselves,� she said. “It’s unbelievable what we do in front of our children and then say, ‘Don’t.’� Curtis said Princess Diana’s death taught her the wisdom of living wisely and loving well. Princess Diana did those things by getting out of her bad relationship with the royal family and by loving her children and others—like people with AIDS. The way she treated those with AIDS opened the door for others to act compassionately to those with the disease, Curtis pointed out “I now live wisely—not unflawed. But I do strive to live wisely every day,� she said. twp

Hey, we have FREE Help Wanted Classifieds this month!

Wednesday 6.2.10

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, My husband is a real cheapskate. Every time we go out to dinner, he brings a "buy one, get one free" coupon. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the classified section this year and saw that he placed a Special Announcement for my birthday. There in large print at the top of the column was, "Happy 50th Birthday to my lovely wife Nancy." He would have gotten tremendous bonus points except for one little fact. I was only turning 40! Now he's looking for a way to dig out of this whole mishap. Maybe you guys can help him.

husband, but it's never a good idea to hold on to an anchor as it's going down. This seems like a mistake your husband will hear about for the next 10 years. Cash: At least by then the advertisement will be correct. Carry: There are two things a husband should never get wrong: his wife's age and her weight. Cash: It could have been worse. He could have accidentally mentioned weight in the ad as well. Maybe next year you both can

plan a nice romantic dinner with a coupon. It will be a lot less costly in many ways. Carry: Every marriage seems to have some mishap. When my wife and I got married, one of the ushers had her walking down the aisle long before the music started. When she reached the alter, I commented that she must have been in a hurry to marry me. To this day, we still joke about it. Cash: Except, she claims that she was looking for the exit and accidentally took the wrong door! Carry: We don't know if your husband's mistake was a typo or a

bad practical joke. In either case, you obviously want him to make it up to you. So to avoid having this matter come up for the next ten years, come up with a list of things that he can do to apologize. Cash: When he completes his list, you need to forgive him and let it go. It should not be something that comes up whenever you're mad at him. With any luck, you both will be laughing about it for years to come. Carry: And if not, you could take the advice of my wife: Nothing says you're sorry like flowers, chocolate and diamonds!

Typos are problems that everyone tries to avoid, but they do occur in newspapers, memos and other documents. While most are harmless or create a funny headline, one was upsetting to thousands of people. The Daily News, one of the major newspapers in New York City, accidentally misprinted their scratch off card for a promotional game in one of their issues. Thousands of readers thought that they had won the $100,000 grand prize, but were even more surprised when they learned it was just a typo.

How Old Are You Now?

We all like to sing "Happy Birthday". However, that catchy little tune is a copyrighted song that nets a small company, owned by AOL Time Warner, about 2 million dollars per year in royalties. While consumers are free to sing it at family gatherings, commercial enterprises must pay a royalty whenever they use it. That's why many greeting card companies, sign-o-gram companies and national restaurant chains have adopted their own catchy birthday songs instead. Guess you could say it pays to sing "Happy Birthday". Got a question or funny story? Email us at: comments@classifiedguys.com.

Reader Humor Playoffs

Whenever anything controversial happens in our community, the local newspaper publishes a question and asks its readers to call and leave their opinion on a recorded telephone line. The next day, they publish everyone's response in the newspaper. One weekend, a 75-year-old man ran naked across a football field at a big game to oppose a local ordinance. The newspaper posed a question the very next day that asked, "What's your opinion about the 75-year-old man who streaked the football game in his birthday suit?" Among all the serious political responses, there was one caller with a sense of humor. He said, "I think his birthday suit needs ironing." (Thanks to Jimmy B.)

industry being regulated. Often a lot of money is at stake. This kind of “sticking one’s neck out,â€? the essence of the regulator’s job description, is not the stuff of everyday behavior. Let’s imagine our regulators: hired to protect a faceless, amorphous “publicâ€? with which they have little meaningful contact, no tangible emotional attachment, and infrequent experience of personal appreciation. They may also be long-tenured employees in a bureaucratic office under weak management. On the other hand, day after day our regulators have personal interactions with industry representatives. Phone conversations, emails, official visits, industry meetings, third-party connections, offices often in the same city, and the likelihood of shared interests, all of which naturally lead to friendly relationships, even strong personal ties, between regulators and the “regulated.â€? This is the meat of everyday work life. In sum, regulators are out of touch with their assigned constituency but in frequent contact with the industry personnel they are supposed to watchdog. How could it not happen that, over time, a regulator’s reference group becomes the industry, rather than the public, and that effective regulation gives way to “cozyâ€? relationships with the industry being regulated? The pull of proximity and familiarity are the most likely dynamic to undermine effective regulation. Research and common sense reveal that, if I live next door to you, I’m more likely to make friends with you than with the neighbor two blocks over or two stories up in our apartment building. You and I hold the door for each other, talk about our kids, eat at the same local restaurants. Even if you have shady dealings, as long as you’re nice to me and my family, I’m likely to rationalize, or even deny, those aspects of your behavior. The human tendency to avoid direct conflict also plays a role in regulatory failure. Most of us highly value being accepted by our reference group. Wanting to be liked and appreciated, we become reluctant to act in ways that might lead our group to reject or mistreat us. Avoiding conflict not only reflects our personal desire to stay out of trouble, but also pressures by the group not to rock the boat. If our reference group has become the industry, will we fight it? Indeterminate ethical standards complete the picture for regulatory failure. Regulatory ethics are set by public policy, usually without 100 percent agreement on what they should be, leaving room for interpretation. Further, ethical standards are rarely emphasized as part of workplace culture, leaving it to individual regulators to apply their own views vis-Ă -vis the behavior they must monitor. Yet, regulation is necessary until human beings learn to behave ethically on their own. Is there a solution? Helpful approaches include the following: Recruiters for regulatory agencies should focus on taskoriented, independent thinkers with strong internal moral standards. Quality leadership is also essential, promoting only those managers able to create close teamwork, group loyalty, and a clear sense of the ethical imperative. Finally, effective institutional structuring to prevent conflicts of interest, to create open and easy two-way communication with the public, and to promote operational transparency is essential. twp

amyang Yeshi recently enchanted an audience at the nexStage Theatre with his powerful haunting songs about his native Tibet, which he learned to sing while a Tibetan monk, and his use of traditional Tibetan instruments. Yeshi, like many Tibetans, fled Tibet to perpetuate the Tibetan culture and traditions, which have been stifled under Chinese occupation, said Karen McDiarmid, who chronicled Yeshi’s story in the film “Shining Spirit: The Musical Journey of Jamyang Yeshi.� Yeshi, who was brought to Ketchum by the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival, said he cried tears of homesickness as he drove into the Wood River Valley because the bald hills reminded him so much of his homeland. Film Festival Director Mary Gervase said next year’s Film Festival, which will be held the third weekend of September, will feature a textile artist who has worked in Dharmasala, India, and Brother Christopher, a dog trainer who will talk about man’s spiritual connections with animals. Gervase added that she expects to view 400 films as she selects this year’s roster. twp
