Geena Davis to Celebrate Anniversary in Sun Valley BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

ctress Geena Davis says she had the good fortune to land several iconic female roles in “Thelma and Louise” and other films. But not enough women have had such opportunities, she says. That’s why she will toast the 20th anniversary of her hit film, “A League of Their Own,” right here in Sun Valley—to call attention to the dearth of female roles in Hollywood media. Davis will introduce a free showing of the film organized by Zions Bank at 8:45 p.m. Thursday at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Davis will introduce the film, which will be accompanied by complimentary popcorn and drinks. Former Sun Valley ski racer Muffy Davis gets to throw out the first pitch by introducing the actress Davis. Muffy Davis, who won a handful of medals ski racing in the Paralympics in Salt Lake City and Nagano, Japan, was recently named to the 2012 Paralympics team. She hopes to win a few more medals competing in hand cycling events Aug. 29 through Sept. 9 in London. She has already won three World Cup gold medals using a recumbent bike. “A League of Their Own” is the tale of two sisters who join the first female professional baseball league and struggle to help it survive. It is based on the real women of the AllAmerican Girls Professional Baseball League of the 1940s and 1950s. The film also starred Sun Valley homeowner Tom Hanks, along with Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell. Thursday’s showing is designed to call attention to Davis’ efforts to bolster the number of girls and women in Hollywood. “I’m very excited about the event,” Davis said. “The movie has stood the test of time. It speaks to people as much today as it did 20 years ago. And this is a fun way to celebrate its 20th anniversary.” Davis said she was struck by the dearth of female characters on screen while watching children’s TV and videos with her young daughter several years ago. In response, she created the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and its programming arm, See Jane, to increase the percentages

ave Stone used to take his VW Rabbit out to Phantom Hill to see how fast he could push it. Now he gets to push his pedal to the metal legally — and a lot more safely. The owner of Sun Valley Auto Club will get a wink and a thumbs-up from police officers on Saturday as he speeds past their radar gun. Highway 75 will become a “No Speed Limit” zone for the fourth year in a row as those with a need for speed push it to their limits in the Sun Valley Road Rally. And the cops will be cheering the faster drivers go. “It’s a rush. You’re going three times the speed limit, seeing that white line blurring by like a double line at that speed,” said Stone, who started the Road Rally with former Blaine County Sheriff Walt Femling as a fundraiser for the Blaine County Community Drug Coalition. “We’re the only place in the country where you can do this, so we get people from everywhere — California, England, New Zealand. I even had ESPN interview me last year.” Last year race car driver Johnny Unser, who lives in Sun Valley, pushed his Porsche Panamera Turbo to 173 miles per hour as he sped down Phantom Hill nine miles north of Ketchum under a hot baking sun. But it wasn’t enough to catch Twin Falls driver Bob Shillington. Shillington set a new Rally record during the third Annual Sun Valley Road Rally last year, as he reached 198 miles per hour in his black 2008 Porsche GT2 down a 3.2-mile section of downhill near Cathedral of the Pine. “We anticipate someone breaking last year’s record,” said Andrea Walton, development coordinator for the Road Rally.

“With every year, the competition gets stiffer.” Bleachers will be set up at Phantom Hill for those who board a shuttle bus to the site. And those who want to feel the rush for themselves can vie for an opportunity to ride with Unser through a $25 raffle. “It’s fun to watch,” said Stone. “It’s unbelievable the sound of these cars when they’re pushing air at 199 miles per hour. You see a car coming and you don’t hear the engine — all you hear is the air they’re pushing.” Among those who will put down anywhere from $1,500 for one run to $3,500 for three runs is Steve Giacobbi. He’s the proud admirer of mid-50s Ferraris, which, he says, are “truly works of an artist.” “They have tremendous craftsmanship. The B12 engine is a magnificent piece of machinery,” he said. Giacobbi has raced his Ferraris at a racetrack in Salt Lake City. Here he has been able to push them to 150 miles per hour. “My interest is not in winning but enjoying a historic car and supporting the Drug Coalition. My primary focus in focusing on the car engine and keeping control. I don’t take running at speed lightly,” he said. Blaine County Community Drug Coalition Director Terry Basolo says he had a blast driving in the Road Rally the first year, even though he was only going 140 miles per hour. “I have to apologize I was going so slow,” he quipped. “But it’s such a spectacular setting. You have a corner right at the beginning which is a challenge. You climb a hill as you approach the curve. Then you can let it go as you get to the straight-away.” Basolo says the road rally has made a

It’s a joy to do something so different from the typical fundraiser,” he added. Basolo says he is awaiting data to determine the success of the four-year-old program. The program supports Idaho Drug Free Youth, which a hundred local middle and high school youth are enrolled

Stonewheat Reunites for Short Tour BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

alk about a blast from the past—Stonewheat is back with a new album and a reunion tour throughout the Wood River Valley! The band features 1983 Community School grad Brian Carney and 1984 Community School grad Johnny Valenzuela along with three fellow grads of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. They played New Year gigs in the Sun Valley area from 1986 through 1997, in addition to local venues like Slavey’s (until recently, The Roosevelt Bar and Grille), the Elkhorn Saloon and outdoor parties along Hyndman Creek, Senate Creek and North Fork. “Reggie Crist, Phil Barney, Jimmy Grossman, the Atkinsons—they were all there at those parties,” said Valenzuela. The group has reunited to play four gigs in honor of its new album, which features a classic rock sound with a little bit of Americana, adult alternative and even a touch of country mixed in. It will play at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Town Square Tunes in the

Ketchum Town Plaza, at 6 p.m. Saturday at Mahoney’s Bar and Grill in Bellevue and from 7 to 7:30 p.m. at Ketch’em Alive in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park. The band will stage its big finale from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 1, at the Back Alley Party at Wicked Spud in Hailey. “After we recorded the album, I got the idea that we should play a few gigs—it had all come back to us so fast, all the magic and fun,” said Valenzuela. “Since Brian and I live here and the band had a following here, it was a lot easier to get gigs here. “Steve, who got a doctorate in musicology, will be coming from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Steve and Red will come from Los Angeles….and we have friends coming in from all over the country.” Stonewheat originated in 1981 with four Community School students. It took its name from crackers band members spotted in the supermarket one day. The band played all over Southern California after moving to Los Angeles to attend college and recorded two CDs before calling it a day in November 1997. In January 2011 Valenzuela, the afternoon drive deejay at KECH Radio, before taking a

Carney, now a certified public accountant, wrote most of the 14 songs, which focus on such themes as love, having a good time and feeling trapped. “I thought with modern-day technology we could do it over the Internet at our own pace so,

with the exception of one initial weekend, we wouldn’t have to be in the same place to do it,” said Valenzuela. “I found some tapes of the songs we’d wanted to put on the album for everyone to relearn. We met at a friend’s house in Los Angeles last July to lay down basic tracks. Then we each added parts to the songs

ou may have heard “God Bless America� or “Shenandoah� before. But, chances are, you’ve never heard it done up in the style of “A Few Good Men.� The valley’s newest vocal group has performed these and other songs at several events around the valley. They will present their first full-fledged concerts Tuesday, Aug. 31, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Hailey and Monday, Aug. 6, at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Ketchum . The free concerts start at 7:30 p.m. Donations will be accepted. The concert menu will include Biebl’s “Ave Maria,� “The Lord’s Prayer,� Go Down Moses,� “Shenandoah,� “Star Spangled Banner� and “God Bless America,� in addition to several other spirituals and contemporary works. All a capella, of course. “The best part for me is getting to sing with a group and not having to provide accompaniment,� said Rowsey, who also performs with such groups as the Caritas Chorale, the B-Tones and Company of Fools. A Few Good Men had its genesis in a few men who were

interested in singing together in an all-men’s ensemble. It’s performed at the Ketchum Memorial Day ceremony, Ketchum Arts Festival, fundraisers for our Lady of the Snows and Light on the Mountain and at the Valley Club. The group includes Paul Stoops, who performed with “Forever Plaid;� Dick Brightman and Tim Eagan, who have sung with the Boise Master Chorale; Dick Taylor and Dawson Howard, who have performed with Caritas Chorale and a host of St. Thomas Playhouse plays; John Mauldin, a professional opera singer who now serves as Sun Valley Resort’s entertainment director; massage therapist George Sedlack, who can always be seen carrying defibrillators and other emergency equipment around the Sun Valley Summer Symphony venue, and Nathan Kniffen, a recent Wood River high School graduate who performed with every vocal and musical group the school hosted. “The biggest challenge is finding time to fit it into our schedule because everyone is so busy. But everyone’s committed so we find time,� Rowsey said. Information: Tim Eagan at 720-0437. tws

needn’t have worried about disturbing an in-use bird’s nest. Some birders and ornithologists do it all the time, though they follow a series of protocols. They do it to accumulate nest records that are then entered into a database. Any person can fill out a card and submit it to a nest record card program in the U.S. or Canada. Cornell University’s Laboratory of Ornithology (welovebirds.org) had such a program until funding ran out, and it published the results in an 18 volume series - The Birds of North America, which documents the nesting habits and fates of every species that breeds in N.A. We not only learn about the summer lives of birds, but about the effects of global warming. Birds, like the entire biosphere, are affected by the increasing pace of climate change. Data accumulated without prejudice provides scientists with something to work with. Good data is the antidote to polemic. Most birders are satisfied observing a working nest with binoculars and spotting scopes. ( Do not, ever, cut or break branches to improve the photo-op, because it will expose the nest to more predators, something the mother works very hard to avoid.) If you are documenting a life cycle, then you have to find out when the eggs are being laid ( one per day, usually in the a.m.), and then how many? Its okay to go look, but be quick about it, for two reasons. One, you’ll stress out the mom; two, you’ll attract predators to the nest by your presence, which leaves foot and

scent trails.. Researchers routinely band the legs of nestlings to help keep track of them, so even all that touching doesn’t scare the female away. I’m not attempting to give thorough guidance for nest etiquette and ethics (human nest robbery is forbidden by Federal law). For more information, call Fish and Game. There is no bird organization as such, here in the Valley, just an informal collection of individuals. In the Habitat, with the late spring weeds gone, I can stand at the northern entrance and see the actual landscape of each individual bed. Of course, all I see is the need for improvement in most plots. Without that seeming negativity, there would be no garden. There’s a lingering sense of satisfaction that over 150 hours of work in May and June was not for naught. The roving eye relaxes because the only thing it sees is what should be seen. A healthy cotoneaster in need of some company. A barren stretch begging for some grasses and a few bits of color. A little meadow, fully occupied by Rocky Mountain pentsemons, gaillardia, grass and phlox. Its one personality after another, some developing, some in full flower. A Great Basin of wild rye, 3x12 feet, growing from a bed of wild strawberries. A new plot is studded with California and other poppies, and clarkia. Sunflowers are growing incongruously everywhere-they are allowed. This year I’ll harvest the heads to cut next year’s bird seed expenses, which, with the drought, will be higher than ever. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

No Bug Bites. Eat So You Aren’t Food for Mosquitoes

R

umors abound about natural ways to avoid pesky mosquito bites. Around 85% of your attractiveness to mosquitoes is genetic due to individual body chemistry, but you can take control of the 15% and make choices that limit how many bugs want to bite you at your next picnic or barbeque. What you eat can make a difference. Garlic can help you release sulfur compounds through your skin that mask your natural scents that attract mosquitoes. Foods high in Vitamin B1, including sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, nuts, and fish may also help you to avoid bites. Mosquitoes are attracted to lactic acid released by your body, so it helps to avoid salty and potassium rich foods during mosquito season. Blueberries, apples, watermelon, cucumbers, cabbage, and peppers are all good summer picnic choices. Po-

tassium rich foods like bananas, potatoes, spinach, chocolate, avocadoes, and dried fruits may attract more mosquitoes so they are best to avoid before outdoor adventures. Besides what you eat, choose to eat in sunny locations away from water, avoid dawn and dusk, and wear long sleeved, light colored clothing so you can enjoy your meal without being eaten by mosquitoes.

hris Botti has to constantly be checking his itinerary to see where he’s playing — that’s the sort of thing you do when you’re playing on the road 300-plus days a year. But the blond-haired trumpet player who was named one of “People” magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” wouldn’t have it any other way. “I don’t have a life outside of my music,” said Botti, who picked up the trumpet as a youngster after seeing Doc Severinsen play on TV. “I mean it sounds crazy to say, but it’s really sort of the truth. I go speak to young people all the time and say, ‘If you really sure you want to be a touring musician, then you have to really love it and that means you may not be able to have a dog and a cat and, you know, relationships can be very difficult. But the upside is so fantastic. I have found myself in the last 10 years being in this constant orbit and I love it.” Botti’s orbit will bring him to Sun Valley Sunday night when he and his band perform with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony for its Sold Out 2012 Benefit Concert. The concert, at 6:30 in the Sun Valley Pavilion, is the only one of the year that requires admission. It helps pay for the 12 days of free symphony concerts that follow. Botti, who has played with a variety of people from Frank Sinatra to Sting, from Herbie Mann to Paul Simon, says he plans on playing lots of different selections from “Chris Botti In Boston” and “Italia,” along with some of his older records. “But we have a whole bunch of new material, as well, because we just released my latest studio album, “Impressions,” said Botti who owns four No. 1 jazz albums and multiple Grammy awards The new album majors on diversity featuring a wish list of guest artists that Botti and his manager-produce Bobby Colomby put together. “It’s been a fantastic journey for me over the last six or seven years to be able to pick up the phone and know that the person,

Chris Botti is known as a jazz musician but, in fact, his music crosses so many genres. He works non-stop—has been on a whirlwind tour for eight years, according to his publicist. “And he’s very adorable,” said Melanie Crandell, a spokesperson for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. courtesy pHOTO

whether it’s Mark Knopfler or Vince Gill or Herbie Hancock, knows they will be treated with not only respect but that the arrangements are going to be fantastic. Word leaps out amongst musicians and they know their voice is going to sound great and it’s going to be mixed beautifully with great arrangements and it’s a lot easier to get them on board.” Botti says he tried to do 13 different impressions of a ballad for the album and to get the listener to stay in that same mode and not knock them around with a swing tune or a big over-the-top number. “You want to take the listener on a journey but also keep them in that same mood, and I think we were successful at doing that,” he said. Botti said his band will play with the orchestra on Sunday, just as he will. “The texture of the music, standing there and playing in front of an orchestra, is the greatest feeling ever because there’s this three-dimensional quality and it’s very sophisticated,” he said. “We really put a lot of effort into hiring the best arrangers and having a real romantic-ish night of music. It’s my favorite.” tws

nvasive pests and diseases threaten so many things we hold dear. If left unchecked, these “hungry pests” can affect many aspects of life—the fabric in clothing, food, lumber supply, flowers—and have already cost billions of dollars to the U.S. economy. Some can even hurt public health. What Are Hungry Pests? Invasive pests are any damaging insect, animal, plant or plant disease not native to an area. They have few or no natural enemies and can feed on or infect trees and plants in farms, forests, parks and backyards. Typically, people are unintentionally the No. 1 cause of invasive pests being brought into the country or spreading to new areas through the things they move and pack. What You Can Do • Buy Local, Burn Local Invasive pests and larvae can hide and ride long distances in firewood. Buy local firewood. • Plant Carefully Buy your plants from a reputable source and avoid using invasive plant species at all costs. • Do Not Bring or Mail fresh fruits, vegetables or plants into your state or another state unless agricultural inspectors have cleared them beforehand. • Keep It Clean Wash outdoor gear and tires between fishing, hunting or camping trips. Clean lawn furniture and other outdoor items when moving from one home to another. • Learn To Identify If you see signs of an invasive pest or disease, write down or take a picture of what you see and then report it at www.HungryPests. com/News. • Speak Up Declare all agricultural items to customs officials when returning from international travel. Call USDA to find out what’s allowed: (301) 851-2046 for plants, (301) 8513300 for animals. Help Stop Hungry Pests Tell your kids, neighbors and friends. The more people who know about invasive pests and the damage they cause, the better chance there is to prevent their spread.

A Hero’s Journey: Healing When They Return Sun Valley Adaptive Sports Fundraiser to your health

BY ROSEMARY CODY

N

inety thousand U.S. military troops remain in Afghanistan. When they return, we will know they are soldiers by their visible wounds, by their scars and missing limbs. The silent wounds will be there, too. Brain injuries and insidious psychological trauma will damage every aspect of their return to civilian life. At the Veterans’ Acupuncture Clinic where I treat veterans and families of all wars, I hear their stories. I hear Vietnam vets that came home “under the cover of darkness,” alone, separated from their companies, to avoid the shame and scorn of the American public. Nearly forty years later, the wounds of war — and the return from war — remain. At the acupuncture clinic, I insert a few tiny needles into points intended to lessen the effects of trauma. One point helps to balance the nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety and hyper-vigilance. Another works on the heart, calming the startle response. Others are directed at softening anger, encouraging the transformation of fear into courage and supporting the resolution of sadness and grief. What I offer is small: a microscopic drop moving toward peace in a huge, complex sea of conflict. I insert a few needles, listen and wonder. This time, when our service men and women come home, carrying the memories of their fallen comrades, will it be different? Will they notice that we — as a nation, as a community — care about the sacrifices they have made? Will we provide employment and stable housing? Will the invisible wounds be recog-

nized and treated? Will we set aside our uncomfortable views about war and simply honor these men and women? Whatever led them to volunteer, they served us. Whatever our opinion of war, we were served. How can we serve them back? In our peaceful valley, far from the battlegrounds, we display the American flag on holidays. We refresh the yellow ribbons. We have organizations with heart and soul. Sun Valley Adaptive Sports’ Wounded Warrior Program reconnects soldiers with nature, with caring community, with themselves. A local fitness gym exercises to raise awareness of Bowe Bergdahl’s imprisonment. Churches of various beliefs pray. All spiritual traditions teach that peace must begin in the heart before it can exist in the outer world. Both war and peace start in the heart. Whether that heart is closed or open has individual as well as global implications.

When the soldiers return, how will they see us as individuals? When we shake their hands, when they look in our eyes, will they see that we are changing, that we are shifting toward peace? Perhaps if today, each of us does just one small, conscious act of kindness, directed toward peace in ourselves, in our families, in our workplace, we will begin to interrupt the cycle of violence. Perhaps this time, when the soldiers return, they will see it in our eyes. They will sense that, although both war and peace arise from the heart, we are choosing peace and welcoming them home.

Team Play, Mercy and Rule Brittania BY BALI SZABO

M

onday, July 16 was a flat stage for the sprinters before a rest day, followed by two high mountain stages in the Pyrenees. Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo and American Christian Vander Velde broke away from the lead group of six, kept the 200 yard separation and Fedrigo repeated his 2006 sprint win over Vander Velde in the beautiful little city of Pau, a perennial host of the Tour for the last 36 years. The Tour resumed on Wednesday to tackle the four climbs from Pau to Bagneres-duLuchon. The breakaway group was never caught by the peloton, and Thomas Voeckler, riding the last climb up the Col du Peyresourd alone, won his second stage, and the fifth for the French. Cadel Evans ‘cracked’ and his American teammate Tejay Van Garderen rode strong to take over the team lead from Cadel. (To be fair to Evans, he contracted a nasty virus on the eve of the stage.) The peloton is not challenging the breakaway groups because its ‘gassed.’ Two weeks of hard racing does that. Vincenzo Nigali failed in his challenges of Bradley Wiggins. Along with Chris Froome, the top 1-2-3 riders finished together.

It was thought that these last two mountain stages in the Pyrenees would crack Wiggins, but just the opposite happened. The British tandem of Wiggins/ Froome not only withstood short lived challenges, but pushed the back of the peloton in to the ‘red zone’, ‘popping’ rider after rider. In the 18th stage, from Luchon to Peyragudes featured the early breakaway by Alejandro Valverde, who could taste his home country of Spain just a few miles away, and like a horse heading for the corral took off and won the stage. He won because Chris Froome let him win. With just a few kilometers to go, he and Wiggins left the peloton behind and narrowed Alejandro’s lead from 2:30 minutes to: 30 seconds. Wiggins clearly wanted Froome to win the stage. He told them to go get it, but Froome didn’t do it. Instead he slowed to let Wiggins catch up, and they finished together just behind Valverde, and 30 seconds ahead of the pack. Basically, the Tour is all over but for the shouting fans. The different specialist jerseys have been decided. Friday is an easy, low mountain stage. (It was a sprint finish, and nothing changed.) Saturday, a 33-mile time trial is Wiggins’ strength, and Sunday is the ceremonial ride into Paris. The only remaining surprises will be the drug test results. tws

Bittman Presents New Health Paradigm BY KAREN BOSSICK

D

r. Barry Bittman has spent 35 years working in the field of mind-body connection. This week he’s spending three days in intensive care with officials from St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, talking about a paradigm shift that could change the look of health care in the Wood River Valley. Bittman, whose work came to the attention of the hospital through a board member and others who heard him speak, says he will talk about the development of a comprehensive health system without walls during a free lecture at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 26th at the Church of the Big Wood, Warm Springs and Saddle roads in Ketchum. The talk is sponsored by the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation as part of its 2012 Health and Well-Being Speaker Series. “I’m excited for the opportunity to be there,” said Bittman, a neurologist and medical director of a Mind-Body Wellness Center in Meadville, Pa. “The hospital in your community is already exemplary. I’m hoping we can take it one step further with a very unique patient-centered regimen that would not only provide care for people while they’re in the hospital but follow up with ongoing care once they’re released from the hospital.” The goal of such a strategy is to improve outcome and stabilize costs.

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

“The United States is facing a health care crisis. We spend more per person on health care than other countries in the world yet we don’t have the best health care system,” said Bittman, whose work on the mind-body connection has been featured in numerous publications, including “USA Today,” “Time,” “O,” “Scientific American” and “The New York Times.” Achieving that could be realized by cutting reimbursements to hospitals and physicians or reducing the number of people who receive care—both of which are bad ideas, according to Bittman. A better way is eliminating unnecessary procedures by taking better care of people in and out of the hospital, he said. Rather than washing their hands of people as they walk out the hospital door, a community care network made of up physicians, social workers, nutritionists, and trained community health coaches could make sure patients have not only received viable discharge instructions but are carrying them out. Such a care continuum could address people with such conditions as chronic asthma and diabetes, said Megan Thomas, chief development officer for the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation. “These people are driving the cost of health care. This would address some of that,” she said. “We are always looking to improve upon what we do and to do the right thing for the community. Dr. Bittman is a leader in health innovation and improving

the health of the communities, so we are hoping he can lend some good ideas.” One woman visited the emergency room an average 28 times a year and was admitted 13 times. In the past four months since being involved in Bittman’s program, she hasn’t been to the hospital once. “In every community a small percent of people use the majority of resources when it comes to health care. This would identify these people to help them,” said Bittman. “Your hospital community is so advanced so caring so humanistic it seems to be the perfect place to carry out a program like this. I’m so impressed that your community is so innovative that they would consider learning about this revolution that would help neighbors in tws need.”

She’ll take it outside those walls Friday when she joins up with about 125 other people participating in the Relay for Life. Teams with names like Atkinsons’ Cancer Adventures, Grateful Alive, the Reckless Betty’s and St. Luke’s Baldy Belles will walk or run around the track at the Wood River High School in Hailey from Friday evening through Saturday morning in a fight against cancer. “The idea is that cancer doesn’t take a rest so why should we? That’s why we go through the night,” Yvonne said. Survivor’s registration starts at 5 p.m., followed by a barbecue dinner for cancer survivors. Opening ceremonies start at 6 p.m. Teams will start walking and running relays at 7:30 p.m. following a presentation and guest speaker. “My favorite part is the luminary ceremony, which they hold between 10:30 and 11:30 Friday night,” Yvonne said. “That’s when they light candles in white paper bags in honor of friends and family who have died from cancer as well as survivors.” Yvonne got involved with the relay six years ago because someone told her it would be a good community activity to involve her children in.

Twain: Love in Satire The Diaries of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain 1835-1910 BY MARGOT VAN HORN

“T

he ‘God Particle’ discovery by CERN scientists” was just announced very recently this July by all of the newspapers and news networks. I’m not going to explain what that might mean except to say that the brilliant and brave Stephen Hawking did lose a bet, and if you don’t know what this is all about, you need to research this on your own. However, what it did for me was to remind me of the great satirist Mark Twain’s personal and so funny love story: The Diaries of Adam and Eve. This

tender humorous story, written near the last of his life is probably very reminiscent of his own marriage and is therefore a very personal one. Additionally, I think that it was probably the only talethat he wrote that included a woman’s point of view. If you have not had the joy to encounter these diaries, now is the time. They will make you laugh out loud — and talking about out loud, I mean that seriously — they are fun to read out loud. In fact, they are fun to read out loud with someone else or the whole family. So give yourself a treat and do just that—even if it’s not the first time that you’ve done that. Give us your feedback at martws got6@mindspring.com

movie review

GEENA DAVIS, from page 1

Woody in Exile Three bumblebees BY JONATHAN KANE

I

s famed neurotic writer and director Woody Allen in exile? It appears to be so because after filming nearly 90% of his movies in his long and illustrious career in New York City he has taken his talents abroad. To Rome with Love, his latest feature was filmed in (you guessed it) Rome. This makes his forth movie in a row shot and produced in Europe, the others being filmed in London and Paris. Long known for his iconic visuals of Manhattan as seen in the movie of the same name and Annie Hall in this film he turns his lens on the spectacular sites of Rome. The reasons for his exile are not totally clear. Perhaps it is for an artistic rebirth or perhaps it’s just financial reasons. But whatever the reasons it seems to have rejuvenated him and his work. In this utterly pleasing new

film Allen has taken some great actors and woven them into four stories that never intersect but stand on their own. Also pleasant is that one of the actors doesn’t stand in for Allen – the Woodman plays perhaps the funniest character in the film himself. Along for the ride, in no particular order, are Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page, Jessie Eisenberg, Judy Davis, Allison Pill and Roberto Benigni. My personal favorite story is the one that involves Benigni who plays an average Roman that suddenly finds himself swarmed by the press. He has become, in the age of the Kardashians, famous for being famous and to his utter amazement now finds his every move in life under severe scrutiny. Just as quickly the media and the beautiful women drop him and instant tables at restaurants disappears. Benigni does a fine turn as do the other actors in this thoroughly enjoyable film. tws

Future Dreams Take Financial Planning BY PATRICK M. BUCHANAN STATE FARMÂŽ AGENT

I

have never met a mom who wasn’t working – or any other woman for that matter. More than ever before women are handling their own or their family’s finances. It’s not about what you have; it’s what you do with it to secure your future. We all have unique needs and resources, but everyone wants to protect what they’ve worked so hard to acquire. It’s all about taking what you have, making the most of it, and building a solid financial future that is uniquely yours. A woman has different financial needs than a man. Everyone must face the good news that women live longer and the potentially bad news that they will spend more years in retirement than the last generation. Why is that bad news? More years in retirement could mean potentially outliving your nest egg. Women, having greater life expectancies than men, must place a greater emphasis on planning for retirement and long term care to ensure they have saved enough to last through their golden years. That’s why State Farm has a special website just for women called the State

Farm Red Portfolio (sfredportfolio.com). It’s all about you, your finances, and your dreams for the future, and how to make the most of what you have. Whether you want to buy a new home, fund a child’s education, protect your business interests, or save for a comfortable retirement, sfredportfolio.com is a great place to start. But it’s just a start. You should work with a trusted professional who can be your longterm resource for help with your financial goals. Schedule a meeting to explore your goals and begin building a road map for your financial future. It’s never too late or too early to start securing your financial future. The sooner you develop a plan that fits your situation, the more likely you are to achieve your goals and be able to do the things you really want to do when you retire. So why wait? The clock is ticking and it is time to set your goals and achieve them! Remember, it’s not what you have; it’s what you do with it that can make all the difference. tws

of female characters in media. A study by the Annenberg School for Communication of 400 G, PG, PG-13 and R-rated movies revealed that there are nearly three males for every one female character, Davis said. And it’s not getting better, she added. “Research done between 1990 and 2010 showed that there has been no increase in female characters at all,� she added. “I don’t think it’s part of a plot to keep women off the screen. If I’ve learned anything it’s that it’s completely unconscious. They just don’t realize.� Davis was invited to introduce the film and her effort to increase the percentage of female characters in the media by Zions Bank. The branch, which has branches in Ketchum and Hailey, had the actress speak at a conference for women earlier. Zions Bank is thrilled to have Davis in Sun Valley to celebrate her story of pioneering women athletes, said Zions Bank regional president Bryan Furlong. “This event is an extension of our commitment to empowering women to achieve financial independence,� he added. Davis will also appear at events arranged by Zions in Salt Lake City and Idaho Falls, where she will throw out the ball for the Idaho Falls ball club. “I don’t think I will dazzle anyone with my first pitch, but I do hope I throw it well enough that they don’t think that whole movie was a fake,� she said. Davis, 56, has embraced all the different facets for women from serving as a fashion model and window mannequin to placing 24th among 300 women vying for a semifinals berth on the Olympic archery team for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. She landed roles in “Thelma and Louise,� for which she received an Oscar nomination as Best Actress, and “A League of their Own,� for which she received a Best Actress Golden Globe Award nomination. Davis, who received an Oscar as Best Actress for her role in “the Accidental Tourist,� also is quick to point out she portrayed a pirate captain in “Cutthroat Island.� Most recently, she starred in A&E’s mini-series “Coma,� a medical thriller about a doctor who discovers something sinister going on in her hospital. She also portrayed the first female president of the United States in the ABC series “Commander in Chief,� earning a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series in 2006, along with an Emmy nomination. “I was thrilled to do the show. We didn’t do it

with the idea of changing the world. But because media images are so powerful, it did have an effect. People who were familiar with the show were 68 percent more likely to vote for a female presidential candidate than those who had not seen it,� said Davis, who also fronted the Women’s Sports Foundation campaign, “Geena Takes Aim,� in support of Title IX, which focused on inequality in sports. Anyone interested in donation to Davis’ efforts can go to seejane.org. Those attending Thursday’s movie showing should be sure to bring ski parkas and a couple blankets for when the sun goes down. tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly� Fishing RepoRT FoR JUly 25, 2012 By: Jim sanTa

It’s prime time for fishing in the Wood River Valley and the fishing is good. All of our waters are in great shape. The mornings and evenings are cool and comfortable and wet wading in the afternoon on our local streams is a refreshing option. On the Big Wood we are seeing a mix of medium size mayflies, mostly pinks and pmd’s, a good number of yellow sally stoneflies, and some of the larger golden stones. Feeding activity will begin sometime after 9 a.m. as it warms up and the bugs begin to hatch. In the heat of the late afternoon things will quiet down a bit only to pick up in the later evening as it cools off after 7 p.m. For fly selections on the Big Wood I’d have size 16 pmd and pink parachute patterns, yellow and tan stimulators from size 10-14, and elk hair and x-caddis patterns in 14-18 for evening. Look for hoppers to start fishing well on the Big Wood and a trailing nymph behind that hopper or a double nymph rig may entice the bigger fish reluctant to come to the surface. For nymphs we like larger prince or stonefly patterns, size 812, with zebra midge, lightning bugs and copper john’s as trailing patterns in sizes 16-20. These same fly patterns and tactics will be apply for Warm Springs, Trail Creek and over the hill on the Big Lost and Copper Basin streams. Let’s head down to Silver Creek. It’s the time of season when we see a plethora of bugs on the creek. The awaited trico hatch has begun and should be the goto in the early mornings. Baetis and pmd mayflies can be present at anytime, and we’ll likely see some callibaetis activity in the ponds and sloughs. Note that the fish will tend to key on the bugs present in the highest numbers, not necessarily the largest. If your presentations are being ignored, look carefully at the water to note which bugs you’re seeing. Going smaller is typically your first/best alternative, but also consider tippet size, 6 and 7X will be the norm and fluorocarbon tippet will help reduce visibility. With all this mayfly activity it would be wise to have an ample selection of the aforementioned bugs in a variety of stages, but remember presentation is the key. Presentation will always trump bug selection! As the mayfly activity quiets down in the late morning and the breeze comes up it’s time to up your tippet strength and try some prospecting with hoppers, beetles and damsel flies. Hoppers in particular are starting to produce on the creek and there’s nothing better than the aggressive strike a large meal like this can produce. We’re always happy to share some “good, free advice� so stop by both of our convenient locations in Ketchum and Hailey for the latest report, to refresh your fly box, or book a trip with one of our friendly and knowledgeable guides. Also check out our free casting clinic every Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. Atkinson’s park in Ketchum.

ongratulations go to Matt Stalker of Hailey for submitting the winning photograph to the Hailey Public Library’s “Hailey at Night� Photo Contest. Stalker’s image was one of twelve submissions reviewed by judges David Stoecklein, Craig Wolfrom, and Stacie Brew. Stalker’s landscape photograph features an aircraft departing from the Friedman Memorial Airport. Wolfrom comments, “It took time and patience to capture the movement of clouds and craft.� Brew adds that the choice to use black and white film embodied the nighttime aspect of the contest. Stalker moved from the Midwest to Idaho in 2009 and currently works for Johnson Controls as a mechanical engineer. While completing projects throughout the Northwest, he enjoys mountain biking, skiing, hiking, the wide-open land, and photography. The library presented Stalker a copy of 500 Cameras by Todd Gustavson and a gift certificate generously donated by Zou 75. Library Director LeAnn Gelskey thanks all contributors the contest. “Not a single photograph went without appreciation.� Notable runners-up included Hank Dart’s dazzling “Readymade�, which casts the ruins on Carbonate Mountain in subdued blue and gold hues, and Chris Syms’ untitled winter scene showing Christopher & Co. and Bob Wiedricks’ “2XL� bicycle sculpture. Contributors are asked to please collect their submissions. Upcoming events include an adult book discussion Wicked Appetite, and Corbin Maxey, “the Reptile Guy,� for children.

drinkin’ Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

L

aurie and Les Kaufman can set a table for 20 with the Riedel wine glasses they’ve collected at Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ Wine Tasting Extravaganza over the years. Saturday they made room for two more guests using the same strategy they’ve employed every year. “I go where the line is the shortest,” Les said. “I go where it’s the longest,” Laurie chimed in, favoring the idea that the better wines draw longer lines. The tradition focused around wine continued this past weekend not just for the Kaufmans but for everyone who has enjoyed the Sun Valley’s wine weekend over the years. Those who showed up for the Gala Wine Auction Dinner and Auction Friday night indulged in a little participatory art, including a round of Pour Art, computerized light graffiti and picture posing before The Zippers, a top-40 dance group from Los Angeles, kicked off the dinner action with Black-Eyed Peas’ “Get It Started.” “I spent the day standing on the Big Wood River doing just enough to bother the fish,” said Vintner Bill Gyer as he put up his feet to give them a rest before the Wine Tasting Extravaganza the next day. “This is my favorite event of all the wine tastings and auctions we do because we get to fly-fish while we’re here.” The Center’s Co-Director Sally Boettger and others spent all year dreaming up and putting together creative auction lots. One included a chance to meet football quarterback-turned vintner Drew Bledsoe. Another titled “Midnight in Paris, Sun Valley

Style,” featured a glamorous dinner rubbing elbows with Picasso, Gertrude Stein and Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald and other members of the Lost Generation as portrayed by Company of Fools actors. And The Center doesn’t wipe its hand of the auction lots when the gavel comes down, Boettger said. She and other Center representatives follow up to ensure that all the details of the lots come together. More than a hundred people were already standing in line when The Center opened the tent for Wine Tasting on Saturday afternoon. “I go in with the idea I’m going to taste what I haven’t tried before,” said Bruce Kirschbaum, a Los Angeles resident who spends a month in Sun Valley each summer. Come Saturday night hundreds of people covered nearly every square inch of lawn at the former Warm Springs Ranch as they enjoyed The Center’s Annual Concert Picnic. They nibbled on black bean and honey glazed tiger prawns served up by Globus, Dashi’s Pulled Pork Sliders with ginger peanut slaw, key lime cake pops served up by The Sweet Crumb and big bowls of Christina’s berry cobbler and crisp covered with Toni’s huckleberry ice cream. “I’ve had enough good food to last me a week,” moaned Marci Onofrio. Meanwhile members of Portland’s MarchFourth Marching Band roamed through the crowd encouraging people to get up and dance, even as they performed acrobatic feats on stilts. “It’s sort of like Sun Valley’s Woodstock,” observed Sun Valley resident Fred Bieker. tws

The Kaufmans have quite a collection of Riedel wine glasses from Sun Valley Center for the Arts wine tastings. Izzy Taylor, Rachel Kaufman, Tori Veatch and Christy Rolfe made those attending Friday’s Gala Dinner and Auction see quadruple with their portrayal of Lady Gaga.

Dylan Carey: A Travelin’ Man BY JONATHAN KANE

R

ecent Wood River High School graduate Dylan Carey has the travelling bug. Having already had the opportunity to see parts of the world he plans to embark on a four-month whirlwind tour with his sister. The tour plans stops in Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Bali and New Zealand. “Our plan may change,” he said, “depending on money. Of all our stops I’m most excited about visiting Bali. It’s a different culture and a different world. My dad visited and we saw his pictures. It’s awesome and amazingly beautiful. We also wanted to go to Europe but it’s just too expensive.” Funds are definitely an issue but the problem seemed alleviated when he won a 1994 Jeep Cherokee at the senior bash this year. “The bash is a big party the night of graduation and the valley donates a ton of prizes and raffle tickets are given to the students for free. The grand prize was the Jeep and I put all my tickets in for it. I figured that if I was going to win something I should go big. When I won I freaked out. My plan was to sell it for 3 or 4 thousand dollars but the day before it sold my sister and I rolled it and totaled the car. We were the only ones in the car and we were pretty lucky. It landed upside down and the whole roof was gone. We had only driven it three times. It’s probably in some junk yard now in a big metal cube.” In order to do the trip he has to spend his first semester at college and then take off in January. “I wanted a deferral but they wouldn’t do it so I would have had to

“Of all our stops, I’m most excited about visiting Bali. It’s a different culture and a different world.”

go through the whole process again of reapplying. We’ve been planning this for two years. I’ve never been to South America and I’m super interested. My sister was an exchange student in Argentina so she really knows it well and she wants to see friends. As for New Zealand everyone says you’ve got to go. Hopefully I’ll take a lot out of the trip. Travel is so amazing. You get out and have a new perspective on life. You gain a more opened mindset towards people and the world and you get to be more understanding of other people.” Having graduated Wood River with a 3.8 gpa this National Honors Student excelled in A.P. U.S. History, Government, Economics, Calculus and Language and Composition. In the fall he will be attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo majoring in engineering. “It’s one of the four best civil engineering programs in the country.” He added with a laugh “the weather is awesome, there are tan girls all around and the beach is only 15 minutes away. I love the campus and I’ve talked to a lot of people who think it’s a great place to go to school. Also 97% of graduates

have jobs in the field of engineering. To have work right after school would be fantastic.” Why civil engineering? “It’s a really broad area of study and it encompasses a lot of fields. It will help me to narrow down what I want to pursue. I really want to work on large projects like bridges and skyscrapers and be the top civil engineer. At Wood River I was in the architecture and engineering academy and took all the required courses and loved them. My favorite was computer-aided design for architecture, which entails 3D modeling software for designing things like a cell phone. What I love the most about engineering is that it is a tangible thing unlike working in the stock market. You have a finished product when you engineer and something like a bridge. You can put your name on it and feel a lot of pride every time you drive across it. You know that you designed it.” There is no doubt that this young man is engineering a bright future. tws

Figure Skating Showcase STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

un Valley Resort swarmed with kids on blades this past weekend at the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club hosted its 46th annual Summer Skating Championships. Figure skaters from Denver, Phoenix, Eugene, Ore., and elsewhere competed in free skate, compulsory and short programs before heading to the ice Sunday in a dazzling array of costumes for the crowd-pleasing Showcase skated to popular show tunes. Sun Valley’s Joyce Chan, a sophomore at The Community School, won Most Outstanding

Showcase award for her depiction of a giant air duct or slinky. She then turned around and reprised her role as one-half of a giant green caterpillar with Alexandra Harten. The Sun Valley Figure Skating Club won first place for the Group Showcase, beating out the Denver Figure Skating Club’s 2012 Olympics portrayal. Sun Valley Starz took third with their Sesame Street routine. A group of the kids will present many of the routines they did this weekend at National Showcase in Los Angeles in August, said Andrea Nelson, publicity tws chair for the event.

A couple dozen members of the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club won first place in the group category for their Electric Circus.

orm Halliday lives in a 1941 log cabin a stone’s throw from Highway 75 as it heads into Ketchum. But hidden from view behind a locked walled fence is a magical potted garden of snowball-like hydrangeas in a variety of colors. “It’s a nice place to be,” said Halliday, as he paused near a tiny swimming pool with a waterfall. “We have a living room patio on one side of the house, a dining room patio on the other. And we’ve turned a wing of the house that used to be a garden shed into an outdoor bar where we can hand drinks out the window.” Halliday’s garden, which is filled with interesting accessories like an English settle and a giant outdoor dollhouse, certainly fits the bill for the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s 17th Annual Garden Tour, which has been themed “Secret Gardens.” The tour, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., this Saturday, will feature seven gardens scattered on the outskirts of downtown Ketchum — a few of which are hidden from view. “It’s a nice mix of gardens that are both professionally maintained and owner-done,” said Kathryn Goldman, executive director of the Botanical Garden. The tour includes Annette Frehling’s urban garden at 100 N. Leadville Ave., along with Johnathon Wagner’s small garden at 459 River St. and Mike Fishman’s home at 100 Baldy View Drive, which features columbines, orange poppies and other wildflowers spilling down rock terraces next to Dollar Mountain and all through the front yard, which looks out onto Baldy. Deb Bohrer treats her backyard garden at 232 Bitterroot Drive along Trail Creek as if it’s one of her paintings--the more color, the better. Deep purple calla lilies contrast with yellow and orange daylilies, on a yard that was carpeted with little more than blue forget-me-nots when she and her husband bought the property. Interesting knick-knacks, such as a 6-foot Smokey the Bear sign and a tube full of pinecones are interspersed among contemplative niches. “It’s a magical garden. I like to set things out and live with them for awhile to see if it looks like I want it to. If I’m not happy, I move them,” she said, nodding

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 Butter a 9-inch iron skillet and sprinkle some flour over all of it. In a medium size bowl whisk the eggs and sugar together. Add the butter and whisk until satiny. Stir in the flour mixture; whisk until smooth. Spread batter in the skillet and top with the walnuts or almonds. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. If you wish, drizzle some raspberry jam over it. I do and it makes it extra yummy and pretty. Serve slightly warm or at room temp. I tie a pretty napkin or scarf around the handle. Ice cream goes great with this.

ROAD RALLY, from page 1 in. It piloted a drug and alcohol prevention last year and is looking at a couple additional programs it might try this coming year. “I think we’re on the right track,” Basolo said.

THE CRUISE TO THE RALLY Road Rally weekend kicks off Friday night with a new event—the Ketchum Cruise. This year’s Road Rally will include a Friday night Cruise from 6 to 8 p.m. that will be free for spectators. Forty drivers plan to participate, according to road rally development director Andrea Walton. Among them: Dick Brewer, who plans to be there in his 1957 Cadillac Eldorado, Dave Crowe his 1946 Woody and Roger Sanger in his 1964 Corvette Coupe. The drivers will start at Serenade Lane on Ketchum’s south side and cruise to the Ketchum Town Plaza where there will be live music from Will Caldwell’s new Jam Nation Band and a chance to vote on favorite vehicle. “A lot of drivers told us they have beautiful cars that they want to showcase but they don’t want to race,” said Walton. “This was our response to that.” From 7 to 9 a.m. Saturday spectators will have a chance to meet Road Rally drivers and inspect GTs, Porsches, Ferraris, Jaguars, a Lamborghini, Cobras and Lotus Espirits in the parking lot at the base of Bald Mountain. Those who wish to watch the Rally must ride a shuttle to

the event site at the base of the Boulder Mountains. Spectator tickets are $10 per person, $20 per family and free for children under six. Tickets include transportation to and from the rally site where bleachers will be set up. Spectators can hop on one of three buses leaving at 8:15, 8:30 and 8:45 a.m. The buses will continue to loop throughout the rally, bringing back spectators who can’t stay for the entire roster, which includes five heats of 12 drivers each. The rally is expected to last until about 1:20 p.m. and traffic on Highway 75 will be stopped at times. Non-profit vendors will have hot dogs, sandwiches, cotton candy, fruit smoothies and other foods for sale at the viewing site. And Emily Stone will keep little ones busy with face painting. The Road Rally will culminate with a Gala and Auction from 6 p.m. to midnight at the River Run Lodge. The evening, which costs $150 per person, will include a gourmet dinner, live music by Boise’s High Street Band, which plays dance music throughout the decades, and live and silent auctions. Those with a need for speed can buy $25 raffle tickets for a chance to ride with Johnny Unser, who lives in Sun Valley. Raffle tickets for $100 are also being sold for a chance to win a 2012 Porsche Cayenne. Raffle tickets are available at the Rally Tent across from Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum and at the Road Rally.

‘Skip Town’

Standing out from the crowd is not easy, and the challenge of marketing a destination is fraught with the need to be unique. Enter “Skippy” the rock skipping robot. What? You heard it correctly, Visit Sun Valley, and Sun Valley Resort developed a robot that would allow desk bound dreamers to escape for a moment to the mountains and skip a real stone in real time on a Sun Valley mountain lake. The results were unprecedented — over 5,000 contest entries within five day. While users were queued to skip a stone, they were offered the chance to enter to win a personalized dream vacation to Sun Valley by packing their customized “Get Away Car.” A winner will be selected on July 31, 2012.

Sawtooth Music

The Sawtooth Music Festival continues in 2012 with two days of music and camping at the foot of the Sawtooth Mountains in Stanley, Idaho, Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28. Friday night features Portlandbased Langhorne Slim, whose thoughtful lyrics and energetic live shows have earned him a reputation as a folk singer-songwriter, with a punk-rock sensibility. Seattle band, The Cave Singers, headlines Saturday night. The band’s rambling guitar lines, soft shakers, pattering drums, and vocal harmonies so pretty they make the melodies tremble. Also playing are Shovels & Rope, Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles, Hollow Wood, Rose’s Pawn Shop, Boise Rock School, Ages & Ages, plus more.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I'm hoping you can help me settle an argument before it happens. My Dad has always insisted that you should never buy a used car without having a professional mechanic inspect and test drive it, even if you have to pay a fee. I, on the other hand, am much more confident that I can evaluate it on my own. I mean, who can't take it for a test drive, test all the features, check the shocks and kick the tires. After all, it's just a car and I know how to drive. I'm planning on buying a used car on my own, but if anything goes wrong with it, I can only imagine I'll never hear the end of it. Can you give me some tips for buying a good car and keeping Dad from saying, "I told you so"?

•

•

•

Cash: We can offer you sug-

gestions on buying a used car, but as for your Dad's "I told you so", I'm afraid you're on your own. Carry: Murphy's Law says that if something can go wrong, it will, which is probably why your Dad insists on being extra cautious. It's also possible that he's had a poor buying experience in the past and is simply trying to protect you from a similar mistake.

Fast Facts Hoodwinked

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 7/22/12 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Cash: Having an experienced

mechanic look at a car can be a good idea, especially if you're not confident in your skills or unsure of the sale. In your case though, it seems you'd like to do this on your own. Carry: It's important to note that just because you know how to drive, it doesn't mean you know everything about inspecting a used car. However, the process isn't that complicated either. Cash: Before you even go look at car, do some research. Read a few reviews of the model you're interest in and get acquainted with its pros and cons. Cars of a partic-

ular model or year often have similarities in repairs or complaints. Knowing that information ahead of time can tell you which areas to investigate when you go for your test drive. Carry: Most importantly, if you're buying the car from a private party, be sure to talk with the actual owner of the vehicle and not a third party. There's no one better than the owner to tell you how it was driven, maintained and cared for. Cash: And once you do find that perfect car, be sure to drop by your Dad's house. We're sure he'll be proud of your accomplishment.

If you're buying a used car, here are a few simple things to check for under the hood. First, check for corrosion around the battery terminals and the age of the battery to see if it needs replacing. Then, pull out the oil dipstick and see if the oil is dirty or black, a sign that maintenance could have been neglected. For automatic transmissions, pull the transmission dipstick and make sure the fluid looks clean. Transmission fluid that is black or smells burnt is a signal to walk away from the sale.

Consider This

Most new vehicles depreciate quickly in their first few years, so buying a used car can result in you owning a better-equipped model than you could have afforded new. In years past, buying a used car may have been considered risky business. However, today's vehicles are built more reliable than ever. It's common to hear of some cars or trucks lasting more than 200,000 miles. With that kind of lifespan, it's no wonder more than 40 million used cars change hands every year. •

Reader Humor Going Slow

As a police officer, I often have to pull drivers over for speeding. However, my last stop was an older woman traveling way too slow on the highway. When I stopped her car, she explained that she just started driving again since her husband had died. After 30 years of not driving, she was being very careful to drive at the posted speed limit of "25". Immediately I realized her mistake and explained that she was confusing the signs. "25 is the route number," I clarified. "Not the speed limit." "Oh that's not good," she replied, "because I just got off Route 90." (Thanks to Christopher T.)

516 rants Mitt says President Obama is against business success. Not true. Just vultures (to use Gov. Perry’s term for Mitt) who think nothing of destroying other peoples lives to get ahead themselves like Mitt and Enron. Worse, I pay more taxes than you Mitt and even when you have so much, you hide your profits in off shore accounts so you don’t have to give back to the country that allowed you to succeed. Shameful. Real patriotic. Sorry Mitt. You won’t be getting my vote. Do you realize that 2/3 rds of our National Debt was created by the last three republican administrations? Probibly not since as soon as a poster is put up detailing this

fact, some republican tears the posters down so that truth is unknown to everybody and Fox “news” seems truthful again. Mitt pays 13 % income tax, Apple Computer 9 % and the shrinking middle class pays 28% or more. Isn’t it odd that the most wealthy pay the least and the poorest pay the most? Not odd, sick. You support this by your vote for republicans. Are you insane poor people of Idaho? What are you thinking?

518 raves What a way to start the Edgar M. Bronfman In Focus Series!! Sunday night was pure ecstasy listening to the beautiful baritone voice of Eugene Brancoveanu. His rich tones and unassuming yet expressive stage presence plus a program so suited for his singing actually brought tears to my eyes. I love Mendelssohn and Loewe; the Brahms lullaby my mother actually sang to me as a child; but the Mahler was the best. To end with an encore of Mahler’s love song to his wife, Alma—a bit of heaven I would say. Of course Alasdair is magnificent as is Peter Grunberg. What talent. I can’t wait to hear the “rest of the story”. Those of you who shy away from this kind of classical performance, don’t miss a free try out to hear and see the best of the best. - Margot Van Horn “Das Barbecu”, the Company of Fools musical play at the Liberty Theater is so much Fun!!! Once again, R. L. Rowsey, our beloved valley favorite, has made miracles as the Director of the show. From an audience point of view, theater doesn’t get better. The cast, (all professionals from the East coast), is superb and the songs and singing are fantastic! It is a miraculous display of theatrics watching 5 extremely talented people play overn 30 different characters, each with full elaborate costume and wig changes. The script is a riot and I found myself smiling all evening, when I wasn’t laughing out loud as well. There are also a couple very touching and beautiful love songs. Don’t miss this amazing night of fun Tuesdays thru Saturdays until July 28th! Ginna Lagergren The Maldives at Whiskey’s last week were awesome, Thatcher!!
