Combining Art and Music into a MASSV Festival BY KAREN BOSSICK

et ready for a concert of a different ilk. Music will be coupled with art tents, fire cannons, the world’s largest traveling laser light show, smoke machines, glowing paragliders and a Red Light Variety show featuring trapeze artists Friday and Saturday when Music and Arts Showcase Sun Valley (MASSV) makes its debut in downtown Ketchum. The two-day music and arts festival, which invokes the spirit of Mardi Gras, will play out in the lot of the future home of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts across from the Ketchum Post Office. A torch-lit drum march after the MASSV concert will lead the way to an after-party on Main Street, Ketchum, where the festivities will continue with a laser glow and DJ. MASSV is the latest and most exciting event to happen this summer in Sun Valley, according to Sabina Dana Plasse. Festival-goers are encouraged to dress up in costume. The eclectic and energizing creative rock, funk and electronic sounds of Ghostland Observatory will fill the air, along with the hot vibes of the acoustic and electronic combination sounds and dance performance of Beats Antique and the mixing mania of the dubstep group, The Adventure Club. The event will also feature the James Brown-like soul of Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears, the hip-hop of Brother Ali, and the reggae, rock ‘n roll and Americana music of Gift of Gab, Proper Motion, Stylust Beats, Winstrong, Boombox, the B-Side Players, Boise’s Equaleyes and the Wood River Valley’s rocker trio Finn Riggins, all emceed by Rashan Ahmad. Installations at MASSV will feature the latest Sun Valley Center for the Arts outdoor exhibit, “Camp Out,” along with the Austin Bike Zoo, Arial Tissue dancing by Selkie, live wood carving by ALEPH and live painting on custom longboards and skateboards. Apier Clothing will present an Elevated Recreation Life Art Gallery with an interactive collaborative mural project and the festival will present an Outdoor Art Gallery displaying the works of local artists. Jugglers, stilt walkers, break dancers, hula hoopers, African drummers and other entertainers will also be involved. Gates open at 2 p.m. Friday. The show starts at 4 p.m. and ends at 11 p.m. that day, with the Ketchum street party taking place from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. The gates open at noon Saturday, with the show taking place from 2 to 11:30 p.m., followed by the Ketchum street party from 11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. A weekend pass is $69.99 and individual day passes will be $45. Tickets are available at Akinsons’ Market, the Board Bin and The Cornerstone Bar & Grill in Ketchum. There will be food and drink on site and MASSV will offer parking and camping for a nominal fee for those who want to camp out in Ketchum for the weekend.

PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

B

randis Sarich couldn’t have pets in the San Francisco apartment she grew up in. So she did the next best thing—she walked a tumbleweed around on a leash. “I was an animal nut. All the photos of when I was little show me with animals,” she recalled. Sarich never outgrew her love of animals. Though she got a degree in architecture, she ran the Sun Valley Horseman’s Center when she came to Sun Valley in 1991. And, when she found time for painting, it was border collies and German shepherds, pronghorn antelope and moose that filled her canvas. “When I lived at the Horseman’s Center, I not only had 50 horses, but so many deer, antelope and bear around me. It was quite an experience to meet all these animals, and when I was on horseback, they seemed less afraid, so I could get up closer,” she said. Sarich will be one of more than 100 artists exhibiting their work at the Ketchum Arts Festival Friday through Sunday at Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road. She will feature pet portraits in acrylic and watercolor stressing the human-animal bond and anthropomorphized paintings featuring such scenes as a pronghorn antelope talking with a squirrel. She will donate 10 percent of any commissions during the fair to the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. “I want to tell animals’ stories,” she said. “I painted a picture of a pronghorn talking with a squirrel, for instance, because I saw the pronghorn with its mouth open and it looked like it was talking.” Sarich designed a number of buildings here through 2005, showing art at Gallery Oscar on the side. In 2005 she and her husband Kevin, whom she had met while working on an urban streetscape architecture project at the University of California-Berkeley, decided to head to Maui to see if she could make it painting full time. Sarich estimates she’s painted at least 340 dogs—most on commission. They include a French poodle that belonged to a Portland Trailblazer and the dog of Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on “The Brady Bunch.” She received permission to paint Bo Obama, America’s First Dog, on the cover of greeting cards to raise $5,000 for shelter, food and helping to reunite pets that had been separated from their owners in last year’s Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

Brandis Sarich recently served as artist-in-residence at a school in Ohio, leading 800 schoolchildren through an exercise in painting portraits of their pets, including pet geckos and hamsters. It was especially interesting to see how brothers and sisters portrayed the same pets, she said. “I told them to let go of the need to have them look like their photo and focus on their personality.”

She’s also painted a series of police horses for the City of Portland, giving each an American patriotic theme since they were in service. Sarich usually starts with photos and stories about the pets, emphasizing how their owners see them, rather than just what they look like. She painted a rescue dog snuggled in a down comforter, the dog of her church pastor in Maui with a lei around its neck and a Lab with a teddy bear in its arms, since the dog’s owner wanted to make sure he was seen with his special toy. When she painted a German shepherd mix in California, she consulted an animal communicator, as she often does, to find out why the dog continued to go up the stairs even though its aging joints made it difficult. “The dog told the communicator it was its duty to stay at the side of its owner so I tried to show that complete dedication and partnership in my painting,” she said. “I used a cat hugging the dog to show how the dog was the coolest friend he could have, and gentle, even though he was a tough breed.” Her larger 3 1/2-foot-by-6-foot fine art pieces have forced her to slow her painting down. “Before, I had so many deadlines. Now that I’ve slowed down the important thing is to get it right. Some take months, but it’s worth it,” she said.

See page 3 to find out more about the Ketchum Arts Festival The fine art features scenes like a border collie in the back of a 5B pickup that looks as if it’s talking to a horse. That painting was inspired by the Idaho landscape that surrounds her East Magic Reservoir cabin where she spends part of the year. “I saw a border collie in the back of a pickup and it looked like it had a lot to say. And I noticed the horse’s ear was turned sideways, as if it were listening,” she said. Fine art depicting dogs and trucks and surfboards was inspired by her Maui sojourns. “Surfing holds special a spiritual quality for me, which I want to express,” she said. “I greet the day surfing at dawn when there’s no wind and the ocean is smooth and quiet. And being out in nature puts everything in perspective. I’m seeing more and more dogs on paddleboards, surfboards… I think dogs just like to do everything we like to do.” Sarich’s husband Kevin says he never gets tired of looking at his wife’s paintings. “I like that her paintings are happy,” he said. “She’s a painter without angst.” tws

What to Expect at Ketchum Arts Festival BY KAREN BOSSICK

M

ore than a hundred artists will participate in the 13th annual Ketchum Arts Festival Friday through Sunday at Festival Meadows on Sun Valley Road just north of Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church. The show, which features a pirate’s horde of jewelry, woodworking, inlaid furniture, whimsical sculptures and birdhouses covered in seed mosaics, runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The show will feature mainly local artists, including new artists like Braden Jon Anderson with his artful terrariums, mixed-media artists Nancy Gervais, Nolina Burge and Cliff Frates, local painters Beth Magee, Mary Stratton, Barry Welker, Nowel Pawliw and Christine Warjone, and photographers Ann Jeffrey and Sue Dumke. It will also feature a handful of guest artists from elsewhere in Idaho, including Debra Featherston of Bliss and Dave LaMure, Jr., of Kimberly. Featherston is known for her handmade ceramic brushes and whimsical hermit crabs but this year she will debut 15-inch-tall raku gods, which draw their inspiration from the Mayan gods of Central America. “My husband and I spent our 25th wedding anniversary in Belize and the Cayman Islands and I was so amazed by the experience, I decided to do these figurines,” she said. “I was intrigued

by the history of the Mayans and the first couple I tried turned out so adorable I decided to create additional ones. They’re very unique and artsy.” LaMure will bring his 800pound piece, a life-sized bronze of red-tailed hawks on a rotating pedestal that won first place and a $10,000 award in Art and Soul of the Magic Valley in late April, along with his large 140-pound bronze vessels with bas reliefs of bison, lamps and even a few small oil paintings. “I love red-tailed hawks because they’re incredibly tenacious. They’re found on all the different continents, as they’re incredibly adaptive. I look for their nests in tall cottonwoods— I’ve been able to get close to a few and watch them,” he said. The Kids Activity Tent will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, offering youngsters opportunities to create masks, string alphabet bracelets, blow bubbles, paint pictures and get their faces painted free of charge while Mom and Dad cruise the art booths. Children 4 and older can be left and younger ones may stay provided someone 15 or older stays with them. The Kim Stocking Band and others will provide entertainment during the festival, said organizer Lisa Horton. And there will be fresh blended coffee smoothies, microbrews from Sun Valley Brewery and other refreshments available for sale.

s a young woman, Debbie McDonald was cleaning up to 12 stalls per day at the Orange County Fairgrounds to board and feed her pony.  One day she discovered the man in charge of her barn row, in her pony’s stall, with a whip.  Hysterical, she grabbed the pony’s halter and they scoured the show grounds searching for another stall. Bob McDonald, a young trainer there in residence, took one look at her tear-stained face and offered her pony a place in his barn. That is how Bob and Debbie met. Years later, Debbie married Bob. They are still working out of Parry and Peggy Thomas’s River Grove Farm near Hailey, Idaho, today. Debbie is in London now because she is coaching her student, Adrienne Lyle, who has been picked to represent the USA as an individual in dressage. Debbie knows how to coach for the Olympics. She has been there twice and competed successfully in World Cup and World Equestrian Game arenas with stunning success. Today, she has the distinct honor of being the USA development coach. She is passionate about the sport and loves to give back to it. Debbie attributes Adrienne’s current success to her amazing feel. When Adrienne came one summer for lessons, Debbie immediately recognized her special

talent and eventually hired her to ride the Thomas’s horses for them.  Parry and Peggy Thomas own Wizard, the Olympic dressage horse currently under Debbie’s watchful eye.  Debbie says he is extremely talented but not so easy to train. “He is very opinionated which, in the end, you hope will give him the brilliance needed at the international level. He could possibly be one of the best horses we have in this country. We just hope he wants to play the game on show day. See, in our sport, you’re not just dealing with your emotions and nerves, you also have a 1200–pound horse with those same emotions. It’s not always possible to get them to do exactly what you want at the exact time needed! But that is what makes our sport so beautiful to watch when it does all fall into place. The Thomas family may be the only, or one of two, sponsors in this country to have given two different riders this amazing Olympic opportunity. They have done so much for the sport of dressage in the USA!�

Footnote: Wizard made the U.S. Olympic Dressage Team after a highpressure, nail-biting, amazing comefrom-behind performance at the selection trials. As teammate Steffen Peters said, “Wizard did it!�  Congratulations to the River Grove Farm crew and owners for preparing and training Adrienne and Wizard. We will all be watching from the Wood River Valley. Good luck! tws

Kip Attaway to Play Mahoney’s This Thursday STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

P

air your Juicy Lucy with a heaping helping of Kip Attaway Thursday night. The famous cowboy comedian singer will perform a free concert at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Mahoney’s Bar & Grill, 112 S. Main St. in Bellevue. Attaway, a regular in Sun Valley for many years, returned this past winter to play weekly concerts at The Boiler Room. He has enhanced his act with props, strapping himself into an old vibrator exercise machine, like Grandma might have used to jiggle those pounds off, to effect the gravelly voice of Johnny Cash. He put swimming plugs on his nose to emulate the nasal sound of Willie Nelson. He filled

himself with helium to do The Monkees’ “Daydream Believer.” And he cracked the audience up with his caricatures of the Rolling Stones, even presenting his idea of what it would have been like if the Stones had grown up in America—the home of Mayberry. “He’s one of those good oldfashioned comedians—he doesn’t get up there and tell jokes about Republicans and other politicians,” said Ned Flanagan. “He just pokes fun at the things of daily life.” But Attaway, who has performed with Idaho icons Pinto Bennett and Muzzie Braun, could stand alone on his talent, noted Sun Valley Entertainment Director John Mauldin. “His guitar playing is amazing.” tws

Hailey Parade Tops Dave Barry’s Blog BY KAREN BOSSICK

H

ailey Chamber representative Geegee Lowe was thrilled this week to see that Hailey’s Days of the Old West Fourth of July Parade had topped Miami humor columnist Dave Barry’s blog. Barry—a regular visitor to Hailey and Sun Valley, thanks to his good friend and author, Ridley Pearson— posted pictures of the State Farm Bear, Smokey Bear, a giant stuffed squirrel sitting in the Marley in the Mountains convertible, the Church of the Big Wood’s blowup whale, and a huge motorized pink dog—its tongue hanging out. He also posted pictures of a walking puddy cat with its paws up as if it were sparring for a boxing match from his streetside perch across from the Hailey Public Library. Barry added one non-animal picture—that of 5B CrossFit’s weightlifting float, labeling it

“some annoyingly fit people celebrating their annoying fitness.” Then he posted a picture of himself with Uncle Sam, better known in these parts as Erwin Kett, a German immigrant whose German roots don’t prevent him from donning pinstriped pants, a blue blazer and topping his bushy white beard off with Uncle Sam’s stovepipe hat each Fourth of July. The comments posted by readers showed clearly that Sun Valley could stand some exposure. “How far is Idaho from Flathead County, Montana?” asked Wiredog. “I looked up where Hailey is. It’s in the middle of a whole lotta nowhere,” said Guin, who obviously missed the Sun Valley connection 11 miles up the road. “The teeming metropolis of Boise is three hours away,” she continued. Then she added sincerely: “Dave, I hope you come back from the wilderness in one piece.” tws

Core Training - Are You Doing Enough? BY JESSICA KISIEL

Y

ou have probably heard that having a strong core is important and will help with back pain, athletic performance, injury prevention, posture and the various activities of daily living. In your effort to gain strength in this area you may have started a program of abdominal and lower back exercises, but is this enough? Before we consider this question, we need to discuss the anatomy of the core and why yours needs to be strong. The core of your body extends from your shoulders to below your hips. It encompasses muscles of the torso centering around the position of the spine and pelvis, which are interconnected. The back of the pelvis is made up of fused spinal vertebrae in the sacrum and tailbone. Hipbones connect to the pelvis on either side of the sacrum and are joined by cartilage in the front at the pubic symphysis. The pelvis, located at the base of the spine, links the upper and lower body and performs the dual roles of stabilization and motion generation. It supports the weight of the upper body when sitting or standing and transfers power from the core to the limbs during movement. In sport or daily living, moving your body starts by engaging your core which is why having it strong and balanced is fundamental to the performance of any activity.

A pelvis that is out of balance—one side higher than the other, twisting around the spine or a difference in the forward to backward tilt—can cause the spinal curves in the lower back, mid-back and neck to round (flex) or extend (arch) more than natural. These disparities in the pelvis can cause pain and injury anywhere in the body. The goal of core training is to develop a balanced, strong torso with an aligned spine and symmetrical pelvis. Now, back to our question: Are abdominal and lower-back exercises enough to keep your core strong? Probably not, although this is a good start at gaining a firm foundation around the spine. As discussed, the position of the spine and pelvis are fundamental to a strong core. Keeping the pelvis in an aligned position requires a coordinated effort among the muscles that are attached to it from all directions. The abdominal and lowerback muscles attach to the pelvis from above. There are also many muscles that attach to it from below and from the sides. Your core training program should incorporate exercises for all these muscles, including the inner and outer thigh, quadriceps and hamstrings, hip rotators, gluteals, and hip flexors. To learn more about how to develop your core join Jessica’s posture exercise classes this month. She is offering two classes in Hailey at Resilient Body Pilates, Sports Ready Body, on

Nez Perce Performances to Augment Caritas Presentations BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Wood River Valley will be blanketed with the drumbeats of Idaho’s Nez Perce Indians this week. The Nez Perce, whose reservation lies in the green rolling hills 11 miles south of Lewiston, will make several appearances this week—at The Community Library in Ketchum, the Farmers’ Market in Hailey, and at Ketchum Town Plaza. The festivities will culminate in the presentation of a choral piece, “Nez Perce: Promises,” by the Caritas Chorale Saturday and Sunday evenings. Nez Perce storyteller Tony Tall Bull will talk about the traditions of the Nez Perce tribe at 6 p.m. tonight at The Community Library in Ketchum. Melvina Kills Crow and her daughters will give a beading demonstration at the Farmers Market in Hailey, which runs from 2:30 to 6 p.m. in a lot north of Sturtos on Main Street. The Nez Perce dancers will also perform. Tony Tall Bull, Melvina Kills Crow and Nez Perce dancers and singers will perform at 3 and 5 p.m. Friday at Ketchum Town Plaza. Sculptor Dave McGary will preview his new bronze sculpture, “Battle of Bear Paw,” between 5 and 8 p.m. at his Expressions Gallery, 360 East Ave., Ketchum. Nez Perce tribal members and guests of Caritas Chorale will be present for the reception, which is open to the public. Nez Perce dancers and singers will perform at the Caritas Chorale concerts at

Dick Brown and the Caritas Chorale at Lapwai.

6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s performance is at the Community School gym, 1 Community School Drive in Sun Valley. Sunday’s performance is at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater, 1250 Fox Acres Road in Hailey. Both concerts are free to the public, although donations will gratefully be accepted to defray the cost of bringing 30 musicians from Boise. “Nez Perce: Promises” was commissioned by Caritas Chorale Director Dick Brown to tell the story of the people who were key to the success of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Brown had commissioned an earlier

piece, “Immense Ranges of High Mountains,” commemorating the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Diane Josephy Peavey, a Flat Top sheep rancher who has a home in Hailey, wrote the words. Boise composer David Alan Earnest wrote the music. The piece begins with the Nez Perce story of creation and carries through to the present. “The story of the Nez Perce is not complete when Lewis and Clark left. What happened to these people is not pretty,” said Brown. The Chorale made a ninehour bus journey to the Lapwai Indian reservation two weeks

ago to debut the piece for 300 Nez Perce in their newly finished gym. “It was an amazing experience,” said Chorale member Linda Menser. “The elders had tears running down their faces. And the tribal members prepared a fresh salmon dinner for us with salmon they had caught, and huckleberry pie.” Chorale member Bart Adrian said the piece has prompted him to read up on the history of the Nez Perce. “It’s a moving piece,” he said. “It’s been an interesting journey.”

et ready to groove. The Matsiko Children’s Choir is about to hit the stage at Ketch’em Alive and Ketchum Town Plaza. The children will perform at Ketch’em Alive from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park at First and Washington streets. They will reprise their concert at Ketchum Town Plaza across from Atkinsons’ Market from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 19. Both concerts are free, thanks to such sponsors as the City of Ketchum, Cox Communications, High Country Properties, Barry Peterson Jewelers, Atkinsons’ Markets, My Sun Valley Home and DL Evans Bank. The choir, made up of orphans from places like Uganda, Liberia, India and Peru, was started by the International Children’s Network in 2008 and has performed in Ketchum several times. It takes its name from the Ugandan word for “hope.” The boys and girls, dressed in colorful garb, sing beautiful harmonies. But they also share cultural dances, act out dramas and perform complex drum routines. Proceeds from merchandise sales go to support the ICN programs worldwide, including sponsorships that allow children an education that culminates in university study. Uganda, for instance, does not have a free education system and many families there cannot afford to send their children to school. Meanwhile, Cake Face Jane will perform original songs at Town Square Tunes from 6 to 8 p.m. this Thursday in the Ketchum Town Square Plaza. tws

Do You Have What it Takes to Quit Money STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

welve years ago Daniel Suelo walked into a phone booth, took $30 out of his pocket, stashed it on the shelf and turned and walked away. Since, he has lived without money. He doesn’t earn, receive or spend a single cent. He doesn’t pay taxes or accept welfare, accepting only what is freely given. Yet he seems to get along just fine. His blog, “Zero Currency,” receives tens of thousands of hits. And he’s even the subject of a book titled “The Man Who Quit Money.” He says he may be without cents but he’s not without sense. “Why should we keep a system that doesn’t work?” Suelo said during a recent visit to Ketchum. “Look at a bear and a raspberry bush. There’s no accounting system by the raspberry bush when you take berries off it. It’s free for the picking. And the bear plants the seeds, propagating more raspberry bushes. It all happens unconsciously—just creatures doing what they do. It’s the perfect economy.” Suelo is somewhat like that bear, foraging for wild foods and discards in Moab, Utah, where he lives in a cave. But for the past few months he has been accompanying Mark Sundeen on a book tour promoting “The Man Who Quit Money.” That tour brought them recently to The Community Library in Ketchum where the two men addressed a packed auditorium. Sundeen, who has written books on car camping and bullfighting in Mexico, as well as articles for “New York Times Magazine” and “Outside,” said

he was reluctant to write the book when asked, even though he had met Suelo while working as an itinerant river guide living out of his truck. But as he realized that Suelo came from a good family and was not mentally ill, he became intrigued with how the man came to his beliefs while living off the land in Alaska and through a stint at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand. Many of Suelo’s beliefs are based on ageold ideas, such as the Sabbath, which Suelo says was a “Quit Money Day.” “The Sabbath is not necessarily about giving up work but, rather, giving up work for money, giving up business,” he said, pointing out that the Hebrew word for work means “business.” One of its purposes was to let animals and poor people take freely of its produce. When Jesus’ disciples, who had no money or possessions, were gleaning food from fields, the Pharisees condemned them for ‘working’ on the Sabbath when the very purpose of the Sabbath was to let poor people take freely. The message Jesus and the Apostles were proclaiming was not necessarily to do away with the Sabbath but to make every day the Sabbath, forgiving all debts, giving up possessions, freely giving and freely receiving. “Other cultures practiced a Sabbath, as well as periodic times of forgiveness like Jubilee where all debts were forgiven. The famous Rosetta Stone, in fact, is Ptolemy’s announcement forgiving debt across Egypt.” Suelo said that he began giving up his possessions while battling clinical depression. As he began shedding things, his depression lifted.

“I finally got up the nerve to give up my last dollar and it felt very liberating. I still feel as if I have too much stuff. I carry a backpack, sleeping bag and extra set of clothes on this tour.”

“I finally got up the nerve to give up my last dollar and it felt very liberating,” he said. “I still feel as if I have too much stuff. I’m carrying a backpack, sleeping bag and extra set of clothes on this tour. And I have pots and pans stashed in Moab.” By releasing his grip on material possessions, Suelo says he has become more cognizant of the things that come without a price tag, such as the light and warmth of the sun. “Everything is a gift and we don’t realize that. The point of living this way is not about being a survivalist. It’s about acknowledging we’re all dependent on each other and nature. This is the way people lived for thousands of years before money came into being. When I’m no longer worried about so-and-so getting more than I, when I’m no

longer wanting credit for what I do, grace comes, balance comes.” Suelo added he doesn’t believe money is evil. “But how is it that we’re supposed to love our neighbor but, then, all of us have separate wash machines? What if we started sharing these things, instead? Get rid of money and use fewer resources and create more community.” Suelo raises provocative questions about the decisions we make about how we live. He also raises questions about what we lose in a culture obsessed with money and examines the idea of “being in the world but not of the world,” said Hailey resident Marty Lyon. “My wife is there in her heart, but she lives with me,” he said. “Still, what this man has to say is very interesting. I would love to sit with him in his cave for two days exploring this further.” While he can’t bring himself to quit money, Sundeen says he has made a few changes, such as riding his bike more, drying clothes on a line and taking his money out of a national bank and putting it in a local credit union. “These things seem small, but I think they’re important,” he said.

ones is really one of our own. He was born here and went to the Community School. His life consists of having been an actor and sculptor and now author. He presently lives with his beautiful wife, Michele, in Molokai. This is his first novel and I think it’s terrific. I couldn’t put it down. It kept getting better and better. The story starts in North Korea, transits to South Korea, and finalizes in Seattle. It’s about the “Dear Leader” life in North Korea and how that life psychologically forms several young girls who are caught in the misery of sheer survival and don’t even realize it because they are so brainwashed. Then, through incredible circumstances, they are transported through the DMZ (demilitarized zone) zone to South Korea and forced into prostitution. Of course, the story gets even worse; that is their journey to Seattle. More prostitution ensues and then arrives the amazing ending. Truth is stranger than fiction, as many of us know. Jones has never been to North or South Korea, but he brilliantly visualized what could happen if young North Korean women were captured and forced into slavery of an unimaginable kind. You might think in reading this book—oh, a bit far-fetched. However, if you read the biography that Hillenbrand has just written, Unbroken, or Life and Death In China, by Cheng, or some memoirs by Holocaust survivors, Jones’ story could have been a reality—and probably for some unfortunate North Korean girls, has been a reality. This book also makes me think of a rarely mentioned author nowadays, Pearl S. Buck and, for instance, her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Good Earth, among her many others dealing with the trials and tribulations of women in that region of the world. So, here is another summer read that is a must (and the others I have mentioned as well). By the way, I think that Jones will be here again at The Community Library on Thursday, Aug. 16. Don’t miss tws his presentation. Give us your feedback at margot6@mindspring.com.

Crofts to Debut Book of Hope and Love STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

n 2008 Mary Austin Crofts shared with friends how wonderful was the life that she and her husband Kim Crofts had carved out on a little island paradise off the coast of Panama. A few short months later she sent another e-mail—this time, a horrifying one. Kim had been murdered by an intruder who invaded their home in the middle of the night and Mary was the prime suspect. Now, three years after moving back to the Wood River Valley, Crofts has penned a book describing what happened that fateful night. Her memoir, “The Love of My Life: One Woman’s Journey of the Heart” is available at Chapter One Bookstore, Iconoclast Books and through Amazon. It is a love story. It also offers a message of hope as it recounts how she was able to heal following her traumatic experience. “Writing the book and getting it published has given me a feeling of personal triumph. It’s something I knew I wanted to do right away because I wanted to preserve, remember everything about our life together because we were so happy,” Crofts said. “And I wanted Kim’s grandchildren to know Kim.” Crofts recounts how her life changed forever in 1983 when she met the love of her life. She had just walked away from a high-powered advertising career to pursue her dream of living in the mountains. Kim was a Sun Valley native, having been born in the Fox Building in Hailey. Over the next 21 years the two forged a special relationship as Crofts shepherded the building of the Blaine County Aquatic Center, the Harriman Trail and Wood River bike path for the Blaine County Recreation District and Kim pursued a successful career as a carpenter. In 2004 they followed a carefully laid out plan and the desire of their hearts and moved to the Caribbean. The book is an easy and interesting

read as Crofts writes of hearing the slapping of Indians beating clothes clean on rocks and how she and Kim tried to save a small bird from being hunted by hungry island youth. It serves as a primer for anyone considering moving to a country like Panama, as it stresses again and again the need for patience—a doctor’s checkup, for instance, might require an air flight only to find that there is no electricity at the doctor’s office that day so the checkup can’t go on as planned. “I had planned to write a book about how to live your dream because we had done it and were having the time of our lives. I had wanted to tell people what it takes to live in a different country with a different language, food and culture, so I ended up folding some of that into this book,” Crofts said.

Shaking the trauma

After friends helped her return to the Valley, Crofts tried everything she could think of to shake her “super anxiety,” which resulted in shallow breathing and kept her knotted up as if someone were wringing her muscles. “It didn’t matter how hard I trained or worked out—the trauma was still stuck in my body. I was constantly afraid—I was afraid that Keith and Paula’s dog would eat something bad. I was afraid when their son would go to Boise and come home at night,” she said, referring to the Perrys, with whom she stayed immediately upon returning to Hailey. Eventually, Crofts ran into Melanie Dahl, who immediately recognized the post-traumatic stress disorder that Crofts was suffering from. Crofts received counseling, which included somatic healing and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, a form of psychotherapy to help process distressing memories. “They’ve discovered animals have a natural way of releasing trauma. For instance, deer go back to a scene where one died and look around and release energy. I write in great detail about going back

Little Black Dress Club Recruits Members The Little Black Dress Club is hosting a membership recruitment social event from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. this Thursday, July 12, at the Green Antelope Gallery in Bellevue. Any interested women are welcome to attend the event to find out more about the group and/or to join. The Ccub currently has 75 members and is working to have at least 100 people involved. Founded in 2009, the Little Black Dress Club is a philanthropic giving circle created to support non-profit organizations in Blaine County. The

club’s mission is to introduce women to philanthropy and to inspire positive changes in the community through charitable giving. Members are required to donate $300 a year in one payment or monthly installments. Donations are pooled and granted out twice a year through a competitive grant application process. Over the last two years, the club has granted a total of $40,181 to 20 local non-profit organizations. More information about the club can be found on the group’s website, lbdcwr.org.

to my house in Panama because I had to clean it to get it ready to sell. And instead of feeling horror and fear, I was able to see all the love in the house,” Crofts said. Keeping a journal and writing the book helped Crofts process things she couldn’t talk about to people. And so did daily meditation and the reading of inspirational books. She wondered whether her own book was too personal to publish. But friends who read it told her that it might help others. And, already, a couple of Vietnam veterans who have read it have told Crofts that it helped them understand that the feelings that have haunted them since the war are symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Crofts will hold a book-signing party with hors d’oeuvres and a no-host bar from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday at The Sawtooth Club in Ketchum. She says the party is as much to thank those who wel-

They offered me a place to live, warm clothes, a car to drive, friendship, counseling and love. “I always knew love was the answer to everything. Most philosophers today tell you the same thing—you’re either living in fear or love—the more you live in love, the more miracles.” Crofts said the mere act of getting her published book in her hands was cathartic. “I said, ‘That’s my story. Now I can start a new story.’ Now I’m starting a new chapter called ‘A Fresh Start.’ That’s how I’m feeling right now.” tws

Tree Health Tips from Blaine Extension

V

arious types of fungi, bacteria and pests affect our backyard trees, making them droop or the leaves to curl, discolor or even become misshapen. By using the following information you might be able to solve what is ailing your tree. If leaves are yellowing or browning, pay close attention to where and how the discoloration is occurring. Yellowing around the veins is often associated with nutrient deficiencies. Brown spotting on the leaf can indicate a leaf fungus. A number of viral diseases can show leaf yellowing, as can spider mites and air pollutants. Extensive browning of leaves on the entire branch can indicate major problems on the branch or in the trunk of the tree. Major changes in leaf structure (twisting, curling, irregular

shape, reduced size and folding) can result from: • Plant nutrient deficiency • Diseases • Poor soil aeration • Root injuries • Mites • Pesticide misapplication Oozing out of branches and trunks is usually a sign of insect problems but can also indicate disease like white pine blister rust. Cankers indicate injury to the tissue underneath. Infections can be secondary. Many organisms can invade tissue once they are already weakened by another factor. Cankers can be caused by: • Bacterial or fungal infections • High/low temperatures • Mechanical damage The best way to control prob-

lems in trees is to prevent them altogether. Healthy, vigorous plants will be able to withstand threats better than weakened, stressed plants. Appropriate plant selection, proper planting techniques, deep watering, fertilization, sanitation, proper pruning, good air circulation, and avoiding sprinkler irrigation will all contribute to the health and vigor of your landscape.

How to ‘Waste Not, Want Not’ Your Food

A

lmost 40 percent of the food produced in America is not consumed. When we squander food, we also waste precious resources like water, and the fuel required to produce the food. Here are five tips to change our habits: 1. Shop more frequently, buying just what you need. If hitting the market a few times a week is too much, then it is imperative to plan out meals and make detailed shopping to control the buying. 2. Be wise on portion size. We all want to be generous. A better way is to dish out a reasonable

amount, and then make it easy for everyone to take seconds. 3. Love your leftovers—but don’t forget to eat them. Lots of people are good at the first one, but later throw forgotten leftovers out! Pack them in easyto-see containers, take them for lunch or transform them into another meal entirely. 4. Befriend your freezer. Can’t pass up that buy-one-get-onefree deal? Freeze it! 5. Ignore expiration dates. That may sound like living dangerously, but believing that expiration date is the exact date food stops being edible is silly. What

that date means is that the food item is at its optimal quality. It does not speak to food safety. A basic chart follows with storage time after purchase: poultry and fish (1 to 2 days); beef, veal, pork, lamb (3 to 5 days); ground meat, ground poultry (1 to 2 days); cured ham (5 to 7 days); sausage from pork, beef, turkey (1 to 2 days); eggs (3 to 5 weeks). tws Have a question or want to write your own ERCbeat?

Annual ‘A Day of Chalk’ This Saturday The Third Annual ‘A Day of Chalk’ will be held on Saturday, July 14, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This fun and creative event mingles artists with families, groups and individuals—of all ages and levels of experience—in creating chalk art on Hailey’s Main Street sidewalks. A 3-foot-by-3-foot sidewalk square costs $5 and includes a small box of chalk. For more serious “chalkers,� artists’ chalks are available for sale at Jane’s Artifacts. Participants may supply their own washable chalk. Along with chalk, sidewalk musicians and entertainers will contribute.

In keeping with sidewalk tradition, musicians and entertainers will have tip jars out. Food, drinks and treats will be available for purchase at the venue and at nearby eateries. The event closes at 1 p.m. although the chalk art will remain on the sidewalks for public viewing until they fade away. Brought to you by the Hailey Art Commission. For further information contact: Sheila Kelley, event director, at 208-720-9361, or Tracy Anderson, public art coordinator, at 208-7884221, ext. 26.

Johnstone Selected: Public Art Consultant The Idaho Commission on the Arts has selected Hailey resident Mark Johnstone as the public art consultant for Idaho, effective July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Johnstone will be available to answer questions about the development and funding of public art projects, advising artists, project developers, city staff, and the general public. Johnstone, who has been a regional art advisor for the Commission for five years, will also present lectures and workshops in different regions of the state. He will be working with Commission staff, Barbara Robinson, artists services director, and Michelle Coleman, community development director. Contact information is on the Commission’s website at arts.idaho. gov/pa/paresources.aspx.

For 25 years Johnstone has worked in public art, curated more than 80 exhibitions, and is a widely published author. Since 2004, he has lived in Hailey where he helped create the Arts Commission, assisted in the passage of a Percent for Art Ordinance, and served on the Planning and Zoning Commission. Prior to that he was administrator of the Public Art Program for the City of Los Angeles from 1995-2002. The Idaho Commission on the Arts is a state agency consisting of 13 volunteer commissioners from all regions of the state appointed by the governor to four-year terms and 10 staff members. The Commission is dedicated to making the arts available to all Idahoans.

Volunteer Opportunities With the ERC The Environmental Resource Center needs you! We wouldn’t be here without your support, and it is time again to ask for even more help. The ERC is now signing up volunteers for its many RISE (Recycling Initiative at Special Events) events. If you believe in recycling and are willing to lend a hand, we will be looking for folks to help us “man the cans� at many of the summer’s big events — the Sun Valley Symphony, Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ concert series and wine events, the Sun Valley

Shakedown and more. We will also be looking for additional help for our children’s program at the symphony on July 30, August 4 and August 14. Please check our website or give us a call if you are interested. Thanks for all you do to keep the Valley such a wonderful place! At summer’s end, we will draw from among these volunteers, and the lucky winner will receive a full Nordic ski pass for the 2013 season! Call us at 208.726.4333 or e-mail tom@ercsv. org to sign up.

Family Values Take Root in the Habitat BY BALI SZABO

ongbirds will return to the place where they successfully raised young the previous year. Or die trying. There’s a banded yellow warbler named ‘Wally’ who has made the 2000-mile trip from Ontario to Central America for nine straight years. He’s an exception. An adult’s odds of making it back are about fifty-fifty. Return rates in general are from 20 to 60 percent. The seven guests from my birdhouse—two adults and five young’uns—will try to return, and some of them will make it. These five will head south; they will observe and learn the route. On the return trip, visual memory will be added to the portfolio of navigational aids that will ensure an accurate return trip to the ‘no fail zone.’ Migratory birds assess their nesting success and remember it. A failed nest means the birds will not return to that nesting site. There are other advantages to returning to the same site. There’s familiarity with the food sources and the territory, once fought for and so much easier to retake. Further, like Arizona snowbirds who know their neighbors in the trailer park, birds remember the specific songs of their neighbors, both the same and of other species. Because birds have a short life and few chances to breed, what worked last year looks awfully good to them. A secured territory has to be kept secured. The principal method is not beak-to-beak combat, but song. Communication reduces violence. Who knew? Each day’s chatter starts at sunrise, and there’s a pecking order as to who starts. Birds with the biggest eyes, perhaps because they detect sunrise earlier, get to ring the opening bell. The other morning, one started up at 4 a.m. Obviously, we both had insomnia. After the opening, whomever wakes first starts to sing. My nesting box guests have a motel room. They won’t stir first. The morning’s song is the loudest and most energetic of the day. When marking a territory, they’ll spend at least half the day singing. A researcher taped a red-eyed vireo

singing over 22,000 times in a single day. Ornithologists have removed birds from a site and replaced them with recordings of the occupants’ songs. Rivals stayed away. If the site fell silent, it was readily occupied by others. Mates rely on each other’s songs as attraction, defense and relationship maintenance. Communication preserves marriages. Who knew? Some of those pesky scientists punctured the voice boxes of some song sparrows. When they pushed out their chests, puffed up and opened their mouths, nothing came out. In short order, they lost their mates and a good part of their territory. Once healed, the following year they reclaimed their acreage and attracted mates, as usual.

Talking to each other is a complex interaction, and survival rates depend on it. Shared song with a neighbor establishes rapport and lessens conflict. My song sparrow has about nine songs, and I know the one that’s meant for me. It says, ‘Hey, get out of here!’ and it’s always the same. A mockingbird has over 200 songs. Like elephants, they imitate anything from cars to dogs to sirens. They, too, have to compete. The one with the greatest repertoire showcases learning ability and longevity. If all this superiority gets the girls, why is adultery rampant with both sexes? Marriage is work, libertine free love is play. Who knew? tws

movie review

Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

ood thing for DVD rentals. That’s where you’ll probably catch up to the improbable end-ofthe-world romantic comedy titled Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Apocalyptic films seem to be all the rage these days but, unlike Lars Von Trier’s brilliant effort last year—Melancholia—Seeking a Friend leaves a lot to be desired. Of course, it stars two very appealing actors, Steve Carrell and

the always-beautiful Keira Knightley, but this mishmash of comedy, pathos and love story misses the mark by a wide swath. Perhaps the fault lies with the writer/director, Lorene Scafaria. Or, better yet, with the love story between Carrell and Knightley that fires blanks. Either way, if you missed this, you didn’t miss much. Carrell plays a sad sack whose wife leaves when the news comes back that an attempt to stop an asteroid from destroying the earth has failed. With one week left to live, Carrell sinks into a stupor while his closest friends lose all inhibitions and let their hair down. Enter Knightley as Carrell’s carefree neighbor and her desire to see her parents

one last time in England. The two of them set off in a quest across New Jersey to find Carrell’s first love and a plane to escort her across the pond. Along the way they meet an insane truck driver, make love (awkwardly), come across a survivalist and finally meet up with Carrell’s dad, Martin Sheen, who happens to be a pilot and has a small plane on hand to escort Knightley. Also by that time our two leads are madly in love (albeit with absolutely no chemistry between them) and are thrown back together to wait in bed for the inevitable whiteout that signifies the end. Is it the end of the world? Or the end of your hardearned greenbacks that you squandered on this forgettable flick? tws

Mayhem Fest PHOTOS & STORY BY LESLIE THOMPSON

A

round 8,500 metal fans crowded into Nampa’s Idaho Center Amphitheater to observe the Fourth of July last Wednesday with this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival lineup. The nationwide tour kicked off four days prior in San Bernardino, Calif., with record-breaking attendance. This was their only show in Idaho and the fourth stop on their 26-show circuit, which is due to wrap up August 5 in Hartford, Conn. Once through ticket booths and security, festival attendees could pore over an amazing variety of memorabilia at a multitude of vendor booths, including a Dimebag Hardware booth, with Rita Haney and legendary rock photographer Chad Lee behind the table. In addition to the typical souvenirs, they also sold raffle tickets for an electric guitar, with proceeds benefitting the Ronnie James Dio Cancer Fund. Before headliners took the stage, fans were able to listen to some newer hardcore and metal bands, As I Lay Dying, Asking Alexandria, Betraying the Martyrs, Dirtfedd, The Devil Wears Prada and White Chapel. Fans packed the lawn area by the Jaegermeister Stage where Anthrax mesmerized the audience with songs from both old and new albums. The enthusiastic crowd responded in motion as guitarist Scott Ian told them, “We don’t care if you get in the mosh pit, but we want to see everybody moving!” Shortly after, over on the Main Stage, the three-man band Motörhead hung their flag and rocked the audience with a set packed full of many greats, including, arguably their bestknown song, Ace of Spades. Then, Slayer heated up the already scorching hot summer day with fiery special effects, Tom Araya’s powerful vocals, Kerry King’s solos, and their opening song, Disciple, which opened up a mosh pit larger and more frenzied than I’ve ever seen! Lesson: Never underestimate a Slayer pit — and if you can’t handle the brutality, get off the floor! The night concluded with Slipknot’s theatrical climax — which included an amazinglyclose overhead fireworks display. The nine-member band immersed themselves in the mob of fans, quite literally, while some jumped into the swarm of metallovers to crowd surf, or were led out by bodyguards where they became part of the mosh pit. They seemed to have complete crowd control when singer Corey Taylor bid everyone who was crazy enough to get down on their knees — and nearly everyone who was standing did —and then jump up when he told them to. The wave of people jumping up rippled from the bottom of the amphitheatre all the way up to the lawn. Festival attendees got what they came for, which was clear by the metal afterglow on their faces as they made their way to the parking lot.

CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT: Slayer’s Kerry King shreds it on one of three guitars he played that day. Slayer members turn up the volume. The Crowd goes wild while waiting for Slayer to drop the curtain. Slipknot’s Corey “8” Taylor beckoned the crowd to follow his lead. Mick”7” Thompson, lead guitarist, ripped it up while moving all over the stage with his band members. One of Slipknot’s founding members, Shawn “6” Crahan beat this keg drum with a bat, producing a one-of-a-kind sound. Motörhead’s singer Lemmy Kilmister. Guitarist Phil Cambell strums perfect notes in Damage Case.

Enjoying the Art of Clay STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

I

t’s fair to say clay is a timeless medium. The art has been with us since the early Chinese dynasties, biblical times and ancient Greece. Pigments applied to rock in caves and sheltered alcoves (pictographs) have been with us for 20,000 years. The medium is archetypal; it resonates to our very beginnings as modern humans. A gift of Mother Earth and human ingenuity unite to create an umbilical connection to a primal instinct. Boulder Mountain Clayworks, tucked into the labyrinth of Ketchum’s industrial zone at 417 10th Street, is a modern ceramic arts studio that held its fifth annual fundraiser on the evening of July 5. It is a working studio with its own large kiln and an adjacent gallery that showcases the work of dozens of artists. The featured artist this month is New Mexico resident Jim Romberg, a former head of the ceramics department at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. As a specialist in and collector of ceramic art, I can say unequivocally that the works on display (it’s not just pottery) were sophisticated, original and, in many instances, strikingly beautiful. Clayworks was a for-profit establishment for its first 10 years, but since it’s an educational institution (lots of classes), it changed to non-profit status in an effort to stand on its own two feet. On the day of my visit, studio president Mary Ann Chubb was busy trying to control a temperamental gas jet under the kiln. The food served to the guests was a bit of exquisite synergy with the art. Dough

made from finely milled (stone) Italian flour was used to make pizza in a portable applewoodfired, ceramic -ined pizza oven. The sweet and gentle smoke of the applewood caressed the fresh dough, somewhat akin to the raku-style firing of the clay used here. The raku method also uses

smoke in a finishing process to develop and deepen glaze colors and to add visual texture to the finished pieces. Bread, leavened or unleavened, baked on a hot stone/clay surface is as foundational to our existence as art and myth. tws

ood River High School junior Cooper Bailey, carrying a 3.85 grade point average, has people skills to burn. Maybe that’s what draws this very engaging high school student to politics. “It’s just something that I’ve always been interested in,� he said. “It’s also something that I might want to pursue.� To that end, Bailey is in the initial group of nine students starting a pilot program for the city of Sun Valley called the Sun Valley Youth City Council. There are two representatives from each of the Valley’s cities and one from Carey. The Youth Council will work as an adjunct to the city council and will be both an educational body as well as a representation of the Valley’s youth. “They wanted a variety of kids,� said Bailey. “First I had to submit an interview paper and then there was the actual interview. I was honored to be chosen two months ago. It will be fun and I’m really excited. It will give me a chance to apprentice in politics and learn what the mayor and council members do. Basically we’ll be going to council meetings and right now they want us to prep for our responsibilities by studying the Robert’s Rules of Order and by familiarizing ourselves with zoning issues, which plays a really large part in what the council does. We will go to two meetings a month and will also meet by ourselves. We will also have activities and discuss city politics. We’ll learn how to set up and run meetings and how to involve ourselves in politics. We will be able to introduce initiatives and propose ideas as a group to the council. They are looking for our views on youth issues like the best way to use recreation funds and how to deal with alcohol and drug abuse in the community.� The last item is something Bailey knows a lot about because he also serves on the board of Idaho Drug-Free Youth. “I think our Valley is a great place, but it could be better if we could stop parents from providing alcohol to their kids. It’s the biggest

problem that we face. Recently we had a ‘reality party’ where parents walked through a house and a variety of partying scenes were played out by kids and adults. In one skit a cop came to the door and confronted parents at a kids’ party. The parents said, “Don’t worry, we’ve taken their car keys,� but instead, the cop arrested them. It’s illegal for anyone to give underage kids alcohol. It also got pretty emotional during a date rape scene. It really shook people up.� As to the state of the problem in the Valley, Bailey said, “Meth use seems to have declined and the Idaho Meth Project ads were really effective. It seems that marijuana is the most highly used drug. It’s tough to combat it because a lot of people think it should be legalized and because a lot of kids’ parents smoke it.� Bailey added, “Being a part of Idaho Drug-Free Youth makes me happy because it keeps me busy and because I can have an impact on other people’s lives. The whole message is to stay drug and alcohol free and to have fun and set an example to educate people. Basically, it ruins lives and families. My grandfather is a prescription pill addict and he’s so messed up that I haven’t spoken to him in years. Being an athlete, it’s important for my peers to see me clean.� In the meantime, Bailey enters his junior year with high hopes for the future. “I really like Wood River and there are a lot of very good teachers there and you can get a really good education. The kids are also great, although it’s easy to get caught up in the wrong crowd. But I’m on three sports teams so I’m close with a lot of different groups.� Bailey letters in football, la crosse and wrestling. “Wrestling is my favorite by far. It’s the hardest sport and you really have to grind. There are no teammates and it’s just a battle between you and your opponent.� As in wrestling, Bailey is sure to win many battles ahead. tws

Cycling Championships STORY & PHOTOS BY BALI SZABO

T

hursday, July 5, began the race schedule with seven events. The crosscountry (XC) races were on the mountain, in the ‘pain cave’ of the uphill and the fast flow of the down, two tough hours for lower (2 and 3) category riders. The morning was overcast and showers threatened until early afternoon but, typically, never showed up. The racers were hoping for rain. Like horseback riders, bikers don’t like to eat trail dust. A water wagon did patrol parts of the course, including the dreaded ‘rock fall.’ These races separate people very quickly. There’s no peloton, like in the Tour de France. Here, it’s either a time trial, or you’re riding by yourself hoping to see and pass somebody, so dust was only an issue at the starts. River Run was busy. The village green was set up with umbrellaed metal tables and chairs. There were food and drink stations and a T-shirt/memorabilia tent. Wendy Jaquet worked there on Saturday. The Expo was a series of tents set up by sponsors and businesses geared to serve bikers, like Shimano and Specialized. There were bikes and riders everywhere. They hate to get off their bikes, so they weave through crowds like skateboarders do through Ketchum traffic. Pedestrian survival required a third eye and a safe seat. The afternoon featured shorttrack (STXC) races for Category 1 riders. This six-lap event kept the racers around the plaza and the nearby parking lots—great for spectators. The day concluded with the paracyclers, who really had their work cut out for them adjacent to the Rock Garden on the slightly uphill, soft gravel sharp corner. Gritted teeth and pain. Friday featured seven more races, four on the Pro XC mountain course in the morning for both men and women. The afternoon had all the Junior riders in three age categories, from 14 to 10-and-under. This was a popular afternoon. Parents from all over the West—from Thousand Oaks and L.A., to Utah and

Stoked! These 10 and under youth are ready to start their race.

beyond—made the long drive to these Nationals. Some of these parents were multi-sport soccer moms, and they were everywhere, leaning over the barriers, urging their kids on. ‘Come on, Sean! Come on, Christopher! Come on, Gail! You can do it!’ their shouts filled the air. In some ways, the event of the day was the 10-and-under group, doing the village Junior XC course. Trying to take pictures of them wasn’t easy. Little kids are like subatomic particles, they keep moving. This group was the last event of the day. Near the starting line, parents were making the final hair and wardrobe adjustments, trying to get their kids to smile for their photo op. They wouldn’t bite, and remained grim, focused, nervous but determined—’stoked.’ The wellwishers lining the course were all ringing the white cowbells, our version of South Africa’s vuvuzuelas. At the start, these professional-looking peanuts received a lecture on racing etiquette: ‘Let people pass.’ ‘Do not block.’ ‘There’s no shame in being passed by a girl’ (snicker). ‘Don’t all try to get out of the box, across the starting line, all at once.’ ‘You can’t win the race here, but you can lose it,’ etc. The youngest rider was four years old. Saturday was a busy eightrace day, with various age groups staggered at two-minute

intervals, including Category 1 males and females and some Masters over 70 years of age. The afternoon Pro races included several laps around the village courses that included the slow, bumpy ‘rock garden.’ The women came through with Olympian Georgia Gould about a minute ahead of fellow Olympian Lea Davison, with Heather Irmiger in third. Heather said that once a separation like that occurs, it holds throughout the race because the great riders can sustain their pace. Sure enough, they did. This was the exact order of finish on the ProXC course. Sunday’s main event of the four races was the Super D that started at the Roundhouse restaurant, reached via the Gondola. It was a cloudless, warm, windless morning. The riders arrived at around 8:15 a.m. and immediately rode up the 1,000foot-elevation-gain gradient at the start just to get the cobwebs out, get some rotations in, and get the blood moving. After that rise, it was all downhill for about 24 minutes, give or take. Heather said, “It’ll be tough because it’ll be really fast.” Most racers, especially the Pros, are on sponsored teams, though the bikers are on their own once on the course. The Super D was a time trial, with over 100 riders For complete results, visittws www.usacycling.org

Planets on the Bike Path BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s down to earth but still enlightening. Someone has taken it upon themselves to mark out where the planets are on the Wood River Trails bike path. The nicely marked signs start just south of East Fork Road

and continue all the way into Old Hailey, showing how Pluto, Mars, Venus and other planets stack up in the grand scheme of things. There’s a massive sun on the path, as well. Hopefully, it’s not playing a part in the massive heat wave that has inundated the Valley. tws

The Women’s U.S. Open BY BALI SZABO

I

n the sweltering 100-degree Wisconsin heat of the first two days, the big names were doing well. The scores of Linicome, Kerr and Creamer (pretty in pink) were competitive. Teenager Lexi Thompson (17) was on the leaderboard. Pete Dye’s devilish course design was not playing havoc with the women. Ah, but then the temperatures dropped into the heavenly 70’s for the weekend, and the golf scores soared into the not-sogreat 70s and 80s. Everyone was around par. The Open was up for grabs. On Saturday, out of nowhere, Na Yeon Choi posted a 65, only the third woman to do so in Open history. She came from four shots off the pace to take

a six-stroke lead going into Sunday. Crazy. There were only three players under par, at -1. Se Ri Pak of South Korea was in attendance, and Choi cited her as her inspiration. In the last 15 years, 10 of the winners have been South Koreans. On Sunday, it was Choi and everybody else playing for second. Amy Yang, Lexi (in her sixth Open—she started at the age of 12) and Sandra Gal had to pray for Choi to self-destruct. It happened at the 10th hole, where Choi posted a triple bogey to end up at -5 while the steady Yang was at -3. We had a match. Lexi and Gal had their troubles. Ranked fifth in the world, Choi didn’t come unglued. She had two more birdies to finish at -7 to claim a four-stroke victory over Yang. tws

Tour de France Stage is Set BY BALI SZABO

T

he crash-prone early stages with large pelotons proved to be just that. The sixth stage, still flat, to the picturesque city of Metz along the Mosel River, turned into a disaster. Two large crashes—one on a roundabout, the other on a straightaway—eliminated contenders and dashed the hopes of nations. Ryder Hesjedal of Canada could not continue, nor could the best American, Thomas Danielson, only 31 seconds off the pace. Frank Schleck, though able to restart, lost two minutes and perhaps with it any hope of winning the Tour. The race is that tight. Many other riders were so banged up they were racers in name only. The top 10 leaders, except for Hesjedal, were unaffected. One of the possible favorites is Bradley Wiggins of Britain. He’s had a great year, won the Tour de Algarve and, more importantly, the Criterium de Dauphine, a traditional steppingstone to a Tour win. Saturday’s seventh stage was a mountain stage in the foothills of the Alps, as the Tour was heading into Switzerland. It had a classic hilltop finish with a really steep climb to the town of Planck des Belles Filles (Google it for the horrific story of why it’s called that). On the

approach, the peloton began to thin, the uphill pace was too much, and the 6km climb was yet to come. The sprinters were dropping back, ‘cracking.’ There were only seven, then five riders setting the pace, with Wiggins the new man to wear the yellow jersey after Fabian Cancellaria had worn it all week. The last 1,000 excruciating yards, 14 to 20 percent grade, left the rest of the field 45 seconds behind. After supporting Wiggins all day, Kenyan (via South Africa) Chris Froome rocketed to the front and beat out last year’s champ, Cadel Evans, and teammate Wiggins for his very first stage win in the Tour. Frank Schleck rode himself back into the race, just 1:10 back. On Saturday came the first real mountain stage in Switzerland, with several cols, though none ‘beyond category.’ Frenchman Thibaut Pinot, the youngest rider in the Tour (22), succeeded in his breakaway, kept his uphill lead and headed downhill at 50 mph for the last nine miles to the finish. He was never caught. His win came just in time for Monday’s papers. The French would have something to cheer about. This was the stage that separated the men from the boys, and now the real Tour begins. One of the men in the top 10 will win the Tour. tws

Serena Williams, Another Great American Champion Djokovic. Meanwhile, Andy Murray, 30, carrying the hopes of an entire nation on his back, beat Spaniard Ferrer and then the Frenchman,Tsonga. He was in the final. No Brit had won Wimbledon in 76 years. Murray had never beaten Federer in a major, and they’ve never met on grass. The stage was set for a

great year in British sports history. It’s been a long wait since the 1966 World Cup victory over Germany! This was Federer’s chance to regain his No. 1 standing, and he won in four sets, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, for his seventh Wimbledon championship, equaled only by Peter Sampras.

The Sawtooth Interpretive and Historical Association presents Chris Loether - “Shoshone Footprints in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area: The Continuing Relevance of the Sawtooth to Shoshone Culture.” This talk will focus on the role that the Sawtooth National Forest played in the traditional life ways of the Shoshoni and Bannock Indians of Idaho, looking at how the Indians used this area both in pre-contact and post-contact times. It will also look at the history of the area from the Indians’ point of view. The 2012 Sawtooth Forum and Lecture Series is sponsored by the Sawtooth Interpretive & Historical Association, its partners, and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. This year’s programs are presented with the goal of “expanding our understanding and appreciation of the Sawtooth region” and in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.

Healy Trunk Show

answers on page 21

T

he Monday, July 2, the semifinals at Wimbledon, which some call the greatest day in tennis, featured hardhitting Sabine Lisicki’s upset of Maria Sharapova. That opened up the top of the draw to a lot of first-timers. No one knew which Serena would show up—the one that got bounced in the French Open’s first round, or the fourtime Wimbledon champion. And then there was her age, 30. No one had won here at that age since Martina Navratilova did it in 1990. In sports, youth is not wasted on the young. Then there was the endurance question, because she was also in the doubles final with her sister Venus, a five-time Wimbledon winner. That’s a lot of court time, especially with a still lingering shoulder injury. Serena survived a shaky start in the semis and got past Zheng Ji of China, and then found her game. It was vintage Serena—a precise power game, few long points (she was losing the majority of those) and good court mobility. With 23 aces, she beat

last year’s champ, Petra Kvitova. Saturday’s final came down to the able, steady Agnieszska (Aggie) Radwanska of Poland, and Serena, favored 7-1 by the oddsmakers. They weren’t wrong. She easily won the first set, 6-1, and she wasn’t even booming her serves at the usual 120 mph. Her second serve was about 86 mph—faster than men’s finalist Andy Murray. Aggie had no one weapon she could use against Serena. Her second serves were so soft, it was ‘batting practice’ for Serena. After a rain delay, Serena came back flat, lost her rhythm and concentration, and the set, 5-7. By the third and final set, she was back on. At one point she served four straight aces. Down 1-2, she still won the set, 6-2. She was a five-time Wimbledon champion at age 30. She beat age, her injuries, her schedule, her emotional volatility that belied her experience, and won handily. That’s what champions do. In the men’s draw, Rafael Nadal got knocked out early, so the field was down to the big two, Roger Federer and Andre

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, My girlfriend has been looking to move out of her parents' house for months. We're both 26 years old and not ready to move in together. So I've been trying to help by cutting out roommate ads and leaving them in her purse. I guess she's been calling my suggestions because she took me to see a place she was excited about. It was in a great neighborhood and as we waited for the elevator, she told me that she already hit it off with the roommate. When the door of the apartment opened, we were greeted by her future roommate, A GUY! I couldn't believe that I gave her this ad. I thought when it said, "female roommate preferred", it was a woman looking to share an apartment. What do I do now? She loves the place and the guy is nice, but I am freaking out. I'd give her more ads, but why don't newspapers make people put gender in the ads so this doesn't happen?

• • • Cash: Considering your girlfriend has been searching for months and finally found an apartment she likes, you should be happy. At least she’ll be moving

out of her parents’ house. Carry: It seems that the two of you were smart enough to discuss the idea of moving in together and smart enough to decide you weren't ready. You should do the same for this situation. Cash: If the fact that she will be rooming with a male roommate really bothers you, then you need to let her know. Slipping a few extra ads into her purse everyday is not going to do the trick. Carry: However, before you ruin what seems to be a good situation, you may want to look at why it bothers you that she would have a male roommate. You've

already said that the apartment was in a good neighborhood and the roommate was a nice guy, so why is it that his gender raises so many concerns? Cash: Regardless, it is best that the two of you discuss it and work it out together. Carry: As for listing gender in a roommate ad, newspapers typically leave those decisions up to the advertiser. There's no reason for them to edit an ad when one telephone call can answer that question. Cash: Unfortunately, for you, it was your girlfriend who called the ad.

Finding a compatible roommate can be a difficult task. But if you're looking for a good longterm relationship, then you need to do the work up front. Experts say that you need to discuss each person's responsibilities from washing dishes to watching television. Be sure that each of you know who is responsible for various chores, like taking out the garbage or housecleaning, and which behaviors are acceptable or unacceptable. And don't be afraid to list the responsibilities in writing so there is no confusion down the road.

Likeable Roomates

One of the first television shows to push the roommate relationship was Three's Company, airing between 1977 and 1984. The show, staring John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers, featured a young man living platonically with two young women. It was the first American sitcom to address the experiences of co-ed living, which in 1977 was still somewhat taboo. However, the show's hilarious antics kept it rated in the top ten during its first seven seasons on the air. •

Reader Humor Your Place or Mine?

After graduating college, my friend and I rented apartments next door to each other in the same building. Although we roomed together in college, I decided we should live separately since our cleaning styles were completely different. Mainly, I cleaned and he didn't! Each time I'd go over to his place, there would be leftover pizza boxes, food wrappers, and clothes everywhere. It was in complete contrast to my perfectly clean apartment. One day when his parents were on their way over for a first visit, I asked him, "What are you going to do when they show up and see this mess?" Thinking for a moment, he looked at me and replied, "Tell them it's your apartment!" (Thanks to Billy S.)

510 thank you notes Big thanks to Jason and Vanessa Fry -- not to mention everyone else involved in some way with that absolutely amazing “SV Shakedown” concert at the Festival Meadows on Sat. evening. I would’ve verrrry happily paid $34 just to see/hear JJ Grey & Mofro that night (what an innnn-credible show they put on)!! Can’t wait to next year’s Shakedown!!!!!!!!! :-) Endless thanks to both owner Tom Nickel and also to his extremely loyal, hard-working staff at the (now-permanently-closed) Roosevelt Grille. Have sooooo many great memories of that place and the people who worked there I can’t even begin to count ‘em all. Seems the height of arrogance and stupidity to me to suddenly force a well-established restaurant to close, so another new restaurant with no proven track record can move into its space, instead — one that, for all we know, may turn into another Sego fiasco in no time flat. “The Rosie” is dearly missed by a lot of us already, Tom :( Show your appreciation!
