Six at Sochi to Benefit Future Olympians

t may be the dog days of August, but the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation is preparing for the winter of 2014. The Foundation is throwing a “6 at Sochi� celebration on Thursday to raise money and awareness of its goal of sending at least six Nordic skiers, alpine racers, snowboarders and freestyle athletes on the Ski Education Foundation’s Olympic Development Team to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The celebration and fundraiser will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. at Ketchum Town Plaza across from Atkinsons’ Market. Cow Says Moo will kick off the entertainment with its country-fried flavor at 5 p.m. Guitar playin’ Moe Dixon will start strumming at 6 p.m. And Safety Orange, a California surf rock reggae band, will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. There’ll be a Russian vodka tent set up to teach locals the traditional Russian toast of “Budem!� while acquainting them with Russian culture.

ive million dollars. That’s how much a small group of women have given to worthy causes in the Wood River Valley since they founded the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation in 2006. “This group causes a miracle in this Valley. Things happen because of this group,” co-founder Barbara Thrasher told the women at The Valley Club last week as they gathered to bestow this year’s donations on several non-profit organizations. “The first year we gave a grant to the Bellevue Library, and I believe that library would not be here today if we had not funded it.” The organization was founded to engage local women in the power of collective giving. Each member donates $1,000. To date, the women have funded 38 agencies. The first year, 27 women gave $30,000. There are 117 members today, according to Carole Schiefele-Holmes. They gave $92,361 this year to seven organizations, with about half of it going toward social services and the rest split among culture and education, said board member Charlotte Unger. • The Advocates for the Survival of Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse will use its money to start a new preventative program for men and boys focusing on such issues as bullying and date violence. • The Hunger Coalition, which has served more than 400,000 meals in the past three years, will use its share for its mobile food program. • The Blaine County Education Foundation will apply its grant toward its Can-Do fund, which helps low-income students cover such extracurricular expenses as paying for dual college credits, tickets for the nexStage Theatre and athletic health insurance. • Planned Parenthood of the Greater Northwest will apply its share toward its Cuidate program designed to lower teen pregnancy rates among the Latina population in the Wood River Valley. • The Senior Connection will apply its share toward its Meals on Wheels program for homebound seniors and disabled people. • Wood River Fire and Rescue

briefs Harvest of Hope Celebration Tonight The battle to keep the valley fed isn’t over. But The Hunger Coalition plans to pause just long enough this Wednesday to honor its volunteers and donors with its 2nd Annual Harvest of Hope Celebration.

will buy an interactive Smart Board to map out training exercises too dangerous to be done hands-on. • The Wood River Community Orchestra will use its money for music education Andy Lewis, who directs the Wood River Community Orchestra, said he was humbled that his organization was included on the list of those the women voted to fund: “Most of these are for things that keep people alive. But, if you are alive, music is what makes life worth living.” Erin Pfaeffle told the group that last year’s donation enabled St. Luke’s Center for Community Health to offer mental health services to 350 clients, up from 83 the year before, following the closure of the local Health and Welfare Department and the departure of the area’s primary psychiatrist. Naomi Spence, program director for the Idaho Hunger Coalition, told the group about the effect last year’s donation had on a 12-year-old and her Spanish-speaking mother. Both mother and daughter used to wait for food, their heads bowed. But they began blossoming after being asked to help distribute the food through the mobile food bank, Spence said. In fact, the woman gained so much confidence that she asked for a letter of recommendation. And she got the job. “She is a valuable member of our community now, and she knows it,” said Spence. “Now she no longer needs assistance but she’s still volunteering because, she says, ‘It feels so good.’ ” tws

Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson will join Erik Schultz, Executive Director of the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation, and Ed Cannady, Recreation Technician for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, in opening the Murdock Creek Trail at noon Thursday. The Murdock Creek trail is a primitive-access wheelchair trail that is designed to maintain the character of wilderness while providing a greatly enhanced level of access for a wide variety of individuals with mobility limitations. “It is an honor to be part of this historic event,” said Simpson. “I’ve had the great opportunity to work with Erik Schultz so that individuals with mobility limitations can access our state’s beautiful backcountry areas. The Murdock Creek Trail is the first of its kind in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and one of the first of its kind in the Nation. In addition, I look forward to the completion of the Phyllis Lake Trail upgrades as they will provide those with mobility limitations an incredible opportunity to enjoy a primitive high mountain lake experience.” Recently the first mile of the Murdock Creek trail in the SNRA was upgraded to a “primitive-access” standard. Primitive-access trails provide an enhanced level of backcountry/ wilderness access for individuals with mobility limitations, including wheelchair users. However, primitive-access trails are not designed or required to satisfy guidelines for public access under the Americans with Disabilities Act

Weeds vs. lawn

ater infrequently; this will force your grass roots to reach deeper than most weed roots. As the top soil becomes dry, weeds up there die while the grass still enjoys moisture a little deeper. Two methods to tell when it is time to water: one, the grass will curl before it turns brown. Anything after that is time for “intensive care watering.â€? Two, stick a shovel into the soil about six inches and push the handle forward. If you can see any moisture, wait. If it’s all dry, water. City watering restrictions allow alternate-day irrigation, but realistically you can water even less. Try watering every fourth day instead of every second day. Another must do: mow high; grass blades photosynthesize to feed the roots. When you whack the blades off, the grass has to race to make more blades (and then grows amazingly fast). Tall grass is healthier and can use the extra sugar to make rhizomes, thus thickening the turf. If you have a serious weed infestation, consider mowing twice as frequently. The sensitive growing point for grass is near the soil. The sensitive growing point for most weeds is near the top of the plant. So when you mow, you are giving your grass a haircut and cutting the heads off of the weeds. Be sure to leave the clippings on the lawn; it puts organic nutrients back into the tws soil.

here is the recognition of bird songs and the reality of bird speech, which is far more varied and sophisticated than we ever thought. Bird vocalizations indicate cerebral activity we’ve never given them credit for, hence the expression ‘bird brain.’ Think again. Birds’ communication skills are very advanced. As descendents of the extinct dinosaurs, they’ve had 65 million years to work on it. It took humanoids a good 2 million years to learn how to grunt enough to organize a hunt. Birds are fabulous navigators, along with many fish and butterflies. Heck, I get lost in my own bedroom. On the other hand, they have some hilarious inabilities. They can’t count, and they can’t remember you, though crows can. In what is an unfortunate handicap for songbirds, they can’t recognize a larger and odd-colored cowbird egg planted among their own. To make matters worse, they think the much larger, loud, demanding cowbird hatchling is one of their own, and so feed it at the expense of

the other, smaller sons and daughters. Now we reach a critical juncture—the collision of animal/human behavior and evolutionary biology. The latter is like a ‘B’ movie; it’s so bad it’s funny. It debases and assaults the dignity and complexity of female mating behavior by putting that half of the species into various straightjackets. According to this dogma, everything a female fish, bird or woman does is predetermined by base, subconscious, evolutionary instincts and imperatives. This is the Ph.D. male song. It is said that one way a female songbird chooses a mate is the quality (strength, longevity and articulation) of the male’s song. The other allegedly irresistible quality is plumage color. One other important factor in health, vitality and disease resistance is the order in which the

eggs are laid. A lion’s share of a mother’s biological energy goes into the first egg. The rest get what’s left. Interestingly, very little is said of the first egg if the chick is female. If it’s a male? Oh, we have the chosen golden child who’ll get all the girls! This is the star quarterback theory of evolution—way overdone, and scientifically fraudulent. I’m not the only one who takes issue with this group of chest-beating scientists. Animal behavior researchers who spend decades studying either one species or a particular type of behavior in birds, let’s say, often deride these grandiose, deterministic conclusions as well. The work of these researchers is more trustworthy because it’s date driven, carefully defined and much more nuanced than robotic reductionism. Nuance has depth and range, and it asks more questions than it answers, and that’s a good thing. A wise man (there are a few, along with princes) once said, “Admire the man who seeks the truth, but beware the man who finds it.� tws

A member of the buttercup family, it has palmate and deeply toothed leaves and can be found in wet meadows and along stream banks. But, despite its beauty, it contains aconitin, an alkaloid chemical prevalent in its seeds and roots, which makes monkshood very poisonous. Its roots have occasionally been mistaken for horseradish but can make one’s lips numb and tingly within seconds of being touched to the lips. Poisoning also can occur following picking the leaves without wearing gloves since the toxin is absorbed through the skin when. Occasionally, you can find albino monkshoods or white monkshoods sporting a little bit of lavender around their edges of flowers. But they’re rare.

Writers Conference opens tonight with New York Times columnist, Brooks By KAREN BOSSICK

N

ew York Times columnist David Brooks will kick off the Sun Valley Writers Conference tonight with a funny yet profound look at how research for his latest book “The Social Animal” took him out of his customary world of political science and into the terrain of neuroscience, which he says is fraught with emotion, intuition and irrational rationales for basing some of our most important decisions. Brooks’ speech is from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Sun Valley Pavilion. Single-event tickets are available for $35 each. The four-day conference, which gets underway Friday with a 1 p.m. showing of the Oscar-nominated film, “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” features an array of “amazing presenters,” according to Marketing Assistant Carrie Lightner. They range from Kathryn Stockett, author of the runaway bestseller “The Help,” to Siddhartha Mukherjee, who wrote the 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winning “Emperor of all Maladies: A Biography of Cancer.” There are still a few four-day conference passes available. They cost $850 and includes breakfasts and lunches catered by Sun Valley Resort. There are two other events at

which single-event tickets are available: David Grossman, one of Israel’s preeminent writers will talk about his novel, “To the End of the Land,” which describes a mother’s effort to protect her children from conflict in a land where the demands of patriotism can be tragically dehumanizing, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Pavilion. And “New Yorker” humorist Calvin Trillin will talk about writing, including his secret work with the International Deadline Poets Organization of which there are only two members, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the Pavilion. The single-event tickets are available at Chapter One Bookstore and Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and at the door as space is available. Teachers and students with I.D. are admitted to talks in the Pavilion free of charge as long as space is available. Many Sun Valley residents consider the conference a think tank that brings in food for thought that fuels them throughout the remainder of the year. “The Writers Conference is one of the reasons I live in Sun Valley,” said Hailey resident Marcia Liebich.

Enjoy the prodigious mountains and sparkling waters of the Sawtooth valley with live music, fun activities and a delicious wild salmon dinner. “Each summer, salmon and steelhead travel from the Pacific Ocean to the high elevation spawning habitat of central Idaho, 900 miles inland and nearly 7,000 feet above sea-level,” said Greg Stahl, Idaho Rivers United Assistant Policy Director and one of the festival organizers. “This difficult journey is special because the salmon you will see in the Salmon River this summer have all been there before. It is their birthplace, imprinted in their memories from the time they left it as young smolts.” How they do it is not fully understood, but somehow adult salmon

manage to find their way home each year. Join educational tours of salmon spawning beds at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to witness the miracle of wild salmon spawning in the streams of their birth. Special this year, author Steven Hawley, who wrote “Recovering a Lost River,” will help lead salmon tours, and will also be available to sell

and sign his book. After your tour, kick back, relax and have fun perusing the info and vendor booths and listening to live music. Also join the wild salmon dinner from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dinners are $15 for adults and $10 for kids. All other activities are free!

Ride Idaho Pumps Bucks into Valley PHOTOS & STORY By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he light was just beginning to illuminate the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains when Janelle Brown emerged from her tent in the middle of a tent city that had sprung up the day before in Hailey. Brown has been through Hailey dozens of times. But this time it was as one of 360 bicyclists making a loop from Lowman through Challis, Arco, Hailey and Stanley as part of the annual Ride Idaho, a sevenday supported bike ride. The bicyclists, who came from 32 countries and Canada, pedaled into Hailey on Wednesday and enjoyed a layover day in the Sun Valley area with a street dance, whitewater rafting and other activities before striking out on Friday towards Stanley. “It’s really fun to bike the roads you’ve driven. You see things you’ve never seen from a car,” said Brown, a Boisean who paid $695 to be part of the undertaking. The event gave local businesses a boost, with Ride Idaho purchasing $12,000 in Hailey Chamber Bucks and distributing $25 to each rider to spend with Hailey businesses. And the organization donated bicycle racks to the new rodeo grounds, while purchasing a Neutron Spinner valued at $2,600 to the Hailey elementary playground where cyclists camped out. “Last September we installed one of these at Carey Elementary and during the grand opening there were 20 kids spinning around on a device meant for 10,” said Lester

Ride Idaho donated this Neutron Spinner to the Hailey Elementary playground.

Wilson, maintenance engineer for the Blaine County School District. “Once the kids find out it’s here, you won’t be able to keep them off it.” Chamber Director Heather Deckard and volunteers like Geegee Lowe woke up at the crack of dawn to prepare a breakfast of eggs, sausage, oatmeal and yogurt for the riders. Riders lined up at a makeshift espresso station set up by Boise coffee company Joe 2 U, as its barristas ground coffee beans and served up chai lattes. Boise massage therapist Ed Dehne prepared his tables for riders who were sure to come in to get the kinks worked out of their necks and backs. As he did, cyclists ducked into a trailer boasting 16 portable showers serviced by water fed from a fire hydrant and heated with 80- and 100-gallon propane tanks mounted inside the trailer. Ride Idaho, which was founded in 2005, has gained a reputation nationwide for being

an intimate ride because of its small numbers. Cycle Oregon, by contrast, accepts 2,600 riders. Chuck Shinn, who used to work with Hewlett-Packard in Boise until his job was outsourced to Penang, has ridden with Ride Idaho four times since taking a new Job in Fort Collins, Colo. He rides tandem with his 13-year-old son Alex. “I miss Idaho so this is a way to get my Idaho fix,” he said. “And I’m trying to instill a bike culture in my son. Bicycling is a very healthy lifestyle. And we’ve got to cut down on all the oil we use.” Bill Reeb was a fry cook at the old Dollar Cabin in Sun Valley in 1967 when he cooked up to 23 dozen hamburgers every lunch hour for the likes of John Wayne while topping the hamburgers of Austrian ski instructors with fried eggs.

This was his first trip back to the valley in years. “I can’t believe the change. Bellevue is now as big as Hailey used to be. I can’t imagine what changes I’ll find in Sun Valley when I bike up there later today,” he said. Ride Idaho is all about celebrating health, added Reeb, who has survived pancreatic cancer: “There are a lot of cancer survivors riding and another guy with a pacemaker who was supposed to have died 10 years ago. My motto: What hill? What wind? If you think of those things, you defeat yourself.” Tanya Olson, who co-owns Powerhouse bicycle shop and café, said she was jazzed to have the riders see the area and pump money into the local economy. “The Chamber is to be commended for the work it put into this.”

Celebration Needs Help from Friends

T

he Bellevue Labor Day Celebration needs your help this year. The Paul Thorn show that was held August 9 in Bellevue rocked the house — unfortunately it was not a full house. The concert was a benefit to support the celebration and didn’t have quite a high enough attendance.

If you would like to help, you can visit their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/bellevuelaborday and donate money through there, or you can e-mail bellevuelaborday@gmail.com to see how you can help support the Beltws levue Labor Day Celebration.

f the Great Depression gave rise to modernism, the Great Recession has resulted in a kind of undecorated design movement rooted in the desire for authenticity, personal expression, originality and quality, says Pilar Guzman. Guzman, who edits “Martha Stewart Living,” made her remarks at a cocktail party to benefit for The Community Library held recently at the Lake Creek home of Tim Semones and Susan Desko. The elegant affair featured somewhat unusual architectural-looking hors d’oeuvres that included grapes covered in crunchy curry coating. The idea was to complement Desko’s stylized architectural home and even her serving bowls, said Silver Fox caterer David Fox. “We decided: Think out of the box with Martha Stewart,” added Desko. Guzman, a longtime friend of library board member Jon Maksik, says the focus has gone from having a showcase home to an emphasis on personal expression. People are no longer willing to spend $5 for Starbucks’ Venti Latte but want more bang for their money. And that has led to growing sophistication characterized by frugality—a movement led by companies like the Banana Republic, The Gap and even Martha Stewart, who introduced the high thread count to Kmart. Bloggers are the new arbiters of taste, Guzman added. The new buzz-words are “one of a kind,” “real,” “original” and “artisanal” as in breads at the Farmers Market and street food. “J. Crew is the new authentic middle,” she said. “Bartenders, butchers, cheesemakers and fish

mongers are the new celebrities.” People are seeking comfort in flea markets in this fast-paced world of the Internet, Guzman said. And collecting is red hot as people seek to surround themselves with things that have an emotional attachment. “Now, anything goes as Americans follow the European model of doing what suits them,” Guzman said. The trends are reflected in magazines, which are increasingly depicting photographs shot in real-life working homes versus photos culled from unlived celebrity houses. And, spurred by resourcefulness brought on by the recession, the owners of those homes are finding furnishings at deep discounts. “eBay opened up collections beyond the antique stores,” Guzman said. tws

The City of Ketchum and Wagon Days have named Walt Femling as the 2011 Grand Marshal of Wagon Days. Femling served his community for 24 years as the Blaine County Sheriff and has continued to devote his time to a number of community organizations in his retirement. Femling moved to the Wood River Valley in 1979 and joined the Ketchum Police Department. He was elected to the position of Blaine County Sheriff in 1987. Femling retired from the position this January. Under Femling’s leadership the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office opened a new county jail, brought law-enforcement duties for the City of Ketchum under the umbrella of the county and started P.A.L., Police Activities League, a prevention program that relies on educational, athletic and other recreational activities to promote trust and understanding between law enforcement and the youth in our community.

Kathleen Brown, Van Gordon Sauter and The Community Library are hosting the screening of the new documentary film, “California State of Mind,” at 4 p.m. this Thursday, Aug. 18 at Magic Lantern Cinemas. A question and answer session with Director Sascha Rice and Executive Produce Hilary Armstrong will follow. The film tells the story of how former Gov. Pat Brown tried to build a “Super State,” even as fiery race riots raged in Los Angeles and members of the United Farm Workers Movement protested in the Central Valley. Sherry Lansing, Chairman of board of UC Regents, former CEO of Paramount, said she was inspired and moved by the film: “Everyone should see this movie as a reminder of how we must keep optimism alive in these challenging time.”

Peruvian Paso Saves the Day By KAREN BOSSICK

C

hiripa doesn’t wear a flashing red light on top of her head. Nor does she whinny like a siren. But the buckskin-colored Peruvian Paso proved just the ticket when Patricia Manley needed an ambulance ride out of the Fox Creek-Chocolate Gulch hiking trail. Manley, a Manhattan resident who vacations in Sun Valley every summer, was hiking with her granddaughter Laura Kirk last week when the older woman slipped on the trail, fracturing her ankle. East Fork resident Sandra Flattery, who was riding the trail with her husband, John Flattery, came to their rescue. John lifted Manley up on Chiripa and Sandra led her horse, whose ride is so smooth that Sandra can carry a champagne flute in the Wagon Days parade without spilling a drop. Emerging from the trail, John Flattery removed Manley on Ann Scales’ porch while his wife tied the horses to the porch and flagged down another hiker so Kirk could retrieve her car at the Fox Creek trailhead.

Factory Sample Sale

Peruvian Pasos perform a unique fourbeat lateral gait instead of a trot, minimizing the vertical bounce riders often get with horses. You can see them for yourself when the local Peruvian Paso group rides in the Big Hitch Parade over Labor Day weekend.

August 18th & 19th 9 am to 4 pm

On Friday, the hikers had a chance reunion with Sandra in the grocery aisle at Atkinsons’ Market. This meeting was full of smiles—the broadest smile worn by a grateful Manley. It turned out her ankle injury wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been. And, while she won’t be doing any more hiking this summer, she has gotten out to enjoy many of the other activities Sun Valley has to offer, such as the free symphony concerts. “I just feel so fortunate Sandra and her husband—and her horse—came along,” said Manley. tws

movie review

Decide what you want, ask for it, receive it

G

etting what you want becomes easier midweek. Just decide what it is, ask for it, and receive it. The sun, Mercury and Venus are all conjunct in Leo this week, bringing a strong confluence of intention, communication and being. ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you think you must succeed, you’re wrong. Winning isn’t everything -- in fact, it can be highly overrated. And focusing too intently on the outcome may severely affect your ability to relax, which will in turn impede your performance. It’s a good time to loosen up. Resist some of your more competitive urges. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). As in the case of herbal tea, perhaps the ceremony involved in preparing the beverage is more relaxing than the beverage itself. The same will apply to other rituals in your life, so don’t be too quick to take shortcuts. There will be something deeply satisfying about going through all of the motions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a talent for choosing upbeat people with whom to mingle and enjoy. The best part is that you can share this talent by introducing your friends to one another. It’s about time you threw one of your famous soirees. You change the world for the better by connecting good people together. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll shine your corner of the world by handling mental and physical clutter. Empty your mind onto paper. Caution: At first, this exercise could make you feel more overwhelmed than you did when you started, but you’ll know exactly what it is you’re dealing with. Next, you’ll make an effective plan and go

for it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A project begins with a brainstorm. Don’t try to skip this step in hopes that a fully formed idea will land on you and you’ll know exactly what to do next. That’s not going to happen. So prepare to exercise your imagination muscles. Bad ideas will come first, and you’ll have to press on through until you get to the good ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is an intelligence above language. That’s what you’ll use to read your loved ones this week. You’ll sense the feelings leaping off of them, and because you are so in touch with their world, you will have a good idea about the cause of those feelings, as well. This is true intimacy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The world you inhabit this week is fraught with strange complications and oddities. They do take up much of your time, and yet there is something amusing and also useful in it all. You’ll use humor as a coping mechanism and attract friends and followers who love to laugh with you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You love the sound of a foreign accent. It reminds you on some deep level that there’s much of the world you want to experience. And even though you are satisfied at home, this week you may secretly long to go where people live and communicate differently, just to know what that’s like. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are many perks that spring from the heightened sensitivity you will experience this week -- for instance, you’ll be more creative, observant and productive. However, you may also be a bit on edge, as your

inner reality won’t always match what is going on in the outer reality. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This week features a fair dose of tough love, though there will be tender moments, as well. Just remember that criticism and rejection are not the same things, though you may sometimes experience them in the same way. Someone who has constructive opinions is actually rooting for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Aristotle’s exact birth date is unknown. But his point of view is similar to yours. “Without friends, no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods; even rich men and those in possession of office and of dominating power are thought to need friends most of all.” You need your friends, and they need you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your level of happiness will depend largely on what you are thinking about this week’s circumstances. Pick your thoughts like you would pick wild flowers to arrange in a vase for your table. Go for the big bright ones that stand out, and also pick several sprays of small lovely filler thoughts to bring it all together. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Your affections are returned in multitude. Because you are happy about the little things in life, the big things you want come more easily to you. You’ll take a leap of faith this month, and it works out well for you. In September, you’ll make an impressive deal, and others will want you to guide them to create the same effect in their own business. Your professional choices lead to abundance in October, as well. tws

The South’s sad Legacy Jon rated this movie

By JONATHAN KANE

I

n the excellent new film The Help we are shuttled into the not-so-distant past of Mississippi, circa 1963, and the deeply rooted racism that still permeated the Deep South. The lens that we view this society through is that of the black maids that ironically lavish much more love on the babies than their parents, who are much more concerned with the maids using the bathroom or touching any cups with their own hands. Based on the blockbuster best-seller by Kathyrn Stockett, a Southerner herself, the film is beautifully written and directed by her childhood friend, Tate Taylor, who wrote the screenplay before the book was published. Although a scathing attack on the South, it is also a beautiful love letter to the

women, who raised both of them in their childhoods. It is also a showcase for a number of tremendous performances from a wide array of actresses that will touch your heart. The story follows Emma Stone as a hopeful novelist back in her hometown and devastated by the disappearance of the maid who raised her – Cicely Tyson. Deciding to focus in on the lives of the maids, she enlists the help of Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, who are both terrific, to tell their stories in the racially charged era of Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Eventually, other maids join in and the result is a best-seller that shakes the very foundation of the town. Other incredible performances come from Allison Janney, Sissy Spacek, Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard as the uber-villain. Special mention must also be given to the tremendous set and costume designs that totally bring 1963 back to life. The Help is a movie that will surely reap great rewards at Oscar time. tws

This single camp site is secluded, very roomy with plenty of trees. Muldoon Creek and the Little Wood River converge here and �ishing is fantastic. We caught Brook and Rainbow Trout on worms alone. The view is phenomenal and the sky is wide open!

RECOMMENDATION:

Great spot (and if someone else is in it, there are PLENTY of spots across the way at High Five). However, do keep your eye out for rattlesnakes here — as we had one right next to camp. But, it was the only one we saw on our 3-day weekend.

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

Romeo and Juliet By KAREN BOSSICK

S

un Valley Shakespeare Festival has never presented a tragedy since its founding in 2000. That changes this year when the Festival presents “Romeo and Juliet.� “It’s time,� said Jana Arnold, who will portray the nurse—a pivotal character—in the play. “And the first act is very funny. We felt this particular play will make a nice transition between the comedies we’ve been doing and the tragedy.� The Shakespeare Festival will stage “Romeo and Juliet� Thursdays through Sundays, Aug. 18 through 28, at Ketchum’s Forest Service Park. It will star Kevin Wade, who recently graduated from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, as Romeo. Jacqueline King, a high school junior, will portray Juliet. Cameron Rendahl will play Tybalt; Scott Creighton, Father Lawrence; and Jana Arnold, the nurse. Arguably the world’s bestknown love story, William Shakespeare’s story written in the late 1590s features the story of young Romeo and 13-year-old Juliet who fall in love despite their families’ long-running and often bloody feud. K.O. Ogilvie, who is directing her first Shakespeare play, opted to keep the play true to period, rather than set it in more modern times. “You can put ‘Romeo and Juliet’ in any language but you won’t find it any more beautifully put than the way Shakespeare put it,� said Ogilvie, who directed “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?� for Company of Fools last summer. That means a lot of sword play, as well as word play. For that, the Shakespeare Festival brought in Joe Golden, a theater professor from the College of Idaho and a long-standing actor with Idaho Shakespeare Festival, to coach the cast in the art of sword fighting. Golden, who teaches a class in stage fighting at the C of I, says the fights are as key to “Romeo and Juliet� as the kissing since they illustrate just how deadly the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets has been over the years. It also involves some pretty intricate choreography, as he has characters running up stairs and jumping off platforms. He designed some of the moves like dance steps, since at one point three different fights intersect one another. “We’re using combat-worthy

Huey Lewis and The News has carried the banner as the quintessential American rock band, endearing them to millions of fans and earning them the right to mark their place on the pop history map. The live performance will be the

Kevin Wade and Jacqueline King portray the world’s most famous lovers this week and next as Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival presents “Romeo and Juliet.� “The play is 416 years old and still relevant today—a story about love in its purest and most honest form,� said Director K.O.

swords so you get that metal clang,� he said. “The challenge is to teach actors to be big and bold enough to be believable. But we want the audience to believe the characters are in danger without being fearful the actors are in danger. We want the audience to be worried for Romeo but not worried for the guy who’s playing Romeo. Our actors have to fight to fight another day. They can’t hurt someone.� Jamey Reynolds is building the biggest set he’s ever built for this particular play. The set, based on William Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, is dark, setting the stage for the romantic tragedy that takes place amidst clashes of attitudes. Reynolds said the play runs the gamut of emotions: “Within a page, you go from the joy of Juliet’s wedding day to tragedy. How do you get your motor running for that?!� tws

he school year is fast approaching. For some of us, that brings concern for how we deal with learning disabilities. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is the most common chronic mental health problem among children. It is typically characterized by inability to pay attention, hyperactivity, or both. It is often coupled with oppositional behavior, inability to deal with stress, and sensory integration disorder. There is much controversy over ADHD, the drugs used to treat it and whether it is under- or over-diagnosed. But that is not our concern here. What will be offered is non-drug interventions that have been proven to help improve focus, mood and attentiveness. ADHD is a heterogeneous disorder, meaning the cause may be different from child to child. So we cannot assume that a holistic treatment that works well for one child will work the same for the next child. However, there are some supplements that are recommended for most children. They include essential fatty acids, especially DHA; B vitamins, iron, probiotics and a good multiple. Most of these children’s brains are starving and need the extra nutrients. All of the supplements mentioned are available at your local health food store. There are some more complex issues that can be related to ADHD, which may require a qualified practitioner and lab testing. Neurotransmitter balance is the most important of these. Most ADHD medica-

tions affect dopamine levels in the brain, but serotonin and others can also be deficient. The neurotransmitters can be easily balanced with amino acid therapy, such as tyrosine or L-tryptophan (also available at the health food store). Unfortunately, tyrosine can sometimes make things worse, especially if the stress response in the body is haywire. The biochemistry of the stress response is easily tested by saliva. Food sensitivities have also proven to be a factor in ADHD. Wheat, dairy, food coloring and sugar are the worst culprits, but occasionally we find some random food triggering brain inflammation. There have been many studies since the 1970s linking food sensitivity to hyperactivity. Food sensitivity can be tested by blood, stool, saliva or elimination diets. An amazing number of toxicants in our environment have deleterious affects on the brain. Heavy metals, pesticides, molds

and petrochemicals are included. Making matters worse, some people are missing the genes that help detoxify the toxins. Again, there are lab tests to find out if toxins or the ability to detoxify are a problem. Spinal alignment is important for processing of information from the brain to the body. There have been several studies showing the benefit of chiropractic care for ADHD. Our children are our greatest resource. They deserve the best we can give them. I do not believe drugs are the answer, as they do not get to the underlying cause of the problem and they tws can lead to addiction.

briefs 2011 Sawtooth Century a Cycling Success The Sawtooth Century Bicycle Tour returned to Ketchum and Sun Valley on Saturday, August 13th, 2011. The Blaine County Recreation District, with the generous support of local sponsors and volunteers, produced the Sawtooth Century and raised over $4,000 for the Galena area trails. Showcasing the dramatic riding terrain of the Boulder and Sawtooth Mountains, the BCRD Sawtooth Century attracted cycling enthusiasts from as far away as Fredericksburg, TX, as well as a strong local turnout. Approximately 130 road cyclists rode north from Ketchum and back, completing either the 50 or 100mile course. Pictures of the Sawtooth Century by Bob Law are available for purchase at adventurelaws.com. Proceeds from the sale of photos will also benefit the BCRD.

“We saw a significant increase in new entrants, especially in the 50mile course, which was really exciting!� said Janelle Conners, BCRD Trails Assistant.

Fools awarded Paul Allen grant Company of Fools has been awarded an arts grants for their February/ March 2012 production of Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage by The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation <http://www. pgafamilyfoundation.org/> . In this fast-faced and darkly comic piece, Ms. Reza’s subjects are two sets of parents in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn who come together to discuss how best to deal with a problem concerning their children. Alan and Annette’s son has hit Michael and Veronica’s son with a stick, breaking two of his teeth. Civil conversation between the parents soon crumbles, giving free reign to “the god of carnage.� “The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation has been a true cornerstone for this Company for over eight years,� says Core Company Artist Denise Sim-

one. “Their support has enabled us to present theatre of the highest caliber by some of our most exciting writers in theatre today. We are deeply grateful for their support.� “Each Foundation grant reflects our longstanding commitment to transform lives and strengthen communities in the Northwest,� said Susan M. Coliton, vice president of The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. “Arts and culture programs, in particular, enable communities to define and express themselves. As the arts nonprofit sector undergoes significant transformation in these challenging economic times, we’re helping organizations sustain themselves and thrive.� A full list of the Foundation’s latest grant recipients is available at www. pgafamilyfoundation.org/grantlist

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly� Fishing RepoRT FoR Aug. 17, 2011 By: Jim sAnTA

I

t’s August and that means it’s time for terrestrials. Hoppers are pretty much everywhere around the valley now and they provide a huge plate of protein for trout. Hoppers tend to produce some vicious takes by the biggest fish in the river and we can usually apply a bit heavier tippet when fishing hoppers les we risk breaking them off on the take with an equally vicious set. So wherever you’re fishing for the next few weeks, have some hopper patterns with you. With the exception of Silver Creek, we will often tie some type of nymph dropper off of these buoyant hopper patterns. The early morning trico action continues down on Silver Creek and it’s been good. When the trico action slows down and the breeze starts picking up it’ll be time to switch to hoppers. Beetles, ants, and damsels, both nymphs and dries, will be other options after the morning mayfly action dies down. Look for mayflies and caddis in the evening hour just before sunset. The slightly higher than average flows on the Big Wood have made for good fishing during what typically becomes a little tougher time of season. In the morning we’ll see a mix of smaller mayflies. Most general mayfly patterns between size 16 and 20 will take some fish. Later morning into afternoon break out the hopper dropper combos and don’t miss the late evening caddis action. The feeding frenzy of the last hour of light is providing the best fishing of the day. In summary, fishing has remained pretty good in all local waters, get out and enjoy some time on the water and consider booking one of our outstanding guides, we guarantee a good time in a beautiful environment.

Elcox is Hooked on Art

Habitat for Humanity Chair will speak to inspire support

PHOTOS & STORY By KAREN BOSSICK

By JO MURRAY

S

usan Elcox makes hooked heirlooms. That is, pictorials made from hooked art, where she hand dyes wool fabric, cuts it into tiny strips and pulls it through a backing material to create pictures, geometric patterns or florals. She’s hooked sculptured wall hangings of the Idaho State Capitol and her grandmother’s garden to hang on the wall. She’s created floor rugs in geometric patterns. And she’s hooked floral pillows, chair covers and tabletop pieces. The Boise artist will be showing some of her work from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24, at Janet Dunbar’s Summer Gallery in the courtyard behind Ketchum Flower Company on East Avenue across from Atkinsons’ Market. The idea: To see if she can interest Sun Valley area residents in creating custom designed hooked heirlooms that pertain to favorite childhood memories, pets or cherished vacation spots. She’ll present a free talk about hooked art at 3 p.m. that day. Elcox, whose work has been featured as cover of “Rug Hooking Magazine” and has written a few articles for the magazine, says hooked art is an ancient art form that has been traced back to the Egyptian pharaohs. Its heyday in America took place during the early 20th century. “In earlier times people didn’t have carpets but they needed something to warm their floors. So they cut up shirts and pants and hooked the strips into rugs. In Europe they made warm bed-

hair John Flattery of Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County is available to speak to local groups about Habitat for Humanity’s mission and future projects. Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County’s Chair John Flattery and members of the board are available to speak to a variety of local groups to inspire support for affordable housing in Blaine County. The presentations educate Blaine County residents on Habitat for Humanity’s mission, future projects, and ways to get involved. Flattery and members of the board have recently spoken to the Rotary Club of Ketchum Sun Valley, Sustain Blaine, and various church groups. “These talks are a great way to create general awareness about Habitat for Humanity in Blaine County. We are eager to garner support, both from volunteers and donors, for upcoming projects,” said Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County chair, John Flattery. Even when the starting date of a new project wasn’t certain, “the Sun Valley Suns men’s hockey team stepped up and offered to volunteer after our Sustain Blaine presentation. That kind of support is going to make a real difference in addressing the need for affordable housing in our community,” added Flattery. Flattery and board members are eager to speak to more groups including civic organizations, church groups and anyone who wants to give back to the

spread this way,” she said. Hooked art has enjoyed new popularity the past 10 to 20 years, said Elcox, who has won Best of Show ribbons at the Western Idaho State Fair for her work. There are nearly three dozen members in the Treasure Valley Rug Hookers club, and Elcox teaches more through Boise Parks and Recreation classes and traditional rug hooking conferences across the nation. “I use a hook that resembles a very fine crochet hook,” said Elcox, who was hooked on the art form because it offered her the freedom to create without a pattern. “I don’t tie knots to finish things off. The fabric is holds because it’s so compressed. We use primitive hooking for less detail and traditional when I want more detail. For more information, contact Janet Dunbar at 726-8573.

community. Flattery would also like to extend the opportunities to major local employers to unite company groups in a shared goal. “We’re available anytime, anywhere,” says, Flattery. “There’s so much we can do as a community, and we’re just getting started.” Habitat for Humanity of Blaine County’s current plan is to acquire and renovate local properties. Flattery’s long-term goal is to build or renovate three to four homes a year in partnership with low-income families. Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1976, has built more than 350,000 houses around the world, providing shelter for more than 1.75 million people in 3,000 communities, said a release. Homes are built partially with volunteer labor, as well as donated materials. Homebuyers are expected to invest hundreds of hours of volunteer labor, or “sweat equity.” They receive a no-interest mortgage and monthly payments are used to build additional local, affordable housing. The first project for the Blaine County group, formed in 2006, was a Bellevue home that was sold to Blaine County Deputy Sheriff Rene Rodriguez and his family. If you or your organization is interested in hosting a Habitat for Humanity speaker, please email John Flattery at johntflattery@aol.com or call 788-8801. Donations may be sent to P.O. Box 10143, Ketchum, ID 83340. For further information or to volunteer, call 208-726-0160. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I run a house cleaning service that I named after myself, "Al's Housecleaning". Kind of catchy, I thought. Since my name began with an "A", I expected to be listed at the top of the business service directory in my newspaper. Boy was I wrong. Everyone else named their business "ABC Housecleaning" or "AAA Housecleaning". Last week I even read one that said, "AAA111222333 Housecleaning". Are they kidding me? How important is it to be listed at the top of the classifieds column? And any suggestions on how I can get there?

• • •

Cash: It's too bad your parents

didn't think to name you AAAlbert. Then maybe you'd be right at the top of the page. Carry: Many businesses like to be at the top of the column in hopes of being selected first. While that can be true in some cases, it starts to negate itself when the business names are drastically altered to get there. What reader can choose between "AAA Housecleaning and "AAA111222333 Housecleaning"? Cash: When so many businesses are fighting for the same space, it may make more sense to be unique

Fast Facts Mr. & Mrs. Clean

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 08/14/11 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

in your approach. Consider advertising at the bottom of the column. Believe it or not, I know a lot of people who read classifieds from the bottom up. Carry: Of course, then you're competing with "ZZZ's Housecleaning". Cash: But I hear they fall asleep on the job! Carry: While location may make a difference in the response to your ad, there are other approaches that can be equally productive. Consider advertising in a small display ad in the business directory of your paper. Readers may be more prone to respond to your display advertising than sort through all the listings.

Cash: Since you are competing with many other businesses, its important you focus on the writing of your ad. Offer something the other businesses do not in order to catch the reader's attention. Carry: Determine the aspects of your business that customers appreciate most. Then make sure you have those keywords in your ad. For instance, "flexible hours" or "bonded and insured" may be a few phrases that readers like to see. Cash: If you're not getting the response you expect, change your ad slightly each week until it's working perfectly. You may find that listing "reasonable rates" works, but "free estimates" gets the phone to ring off the hook.

What type of cleaning personality are you? According to a survey by the Soap and Detergent Association, people fall into one of five cleaning personalities. The "Clean Extremes" are the types who clean where people don't see. The "Mess Busters" don't even think about cleaning, they just do it. "Mop Passers" like a clean home, but they hire someone to do it. "Strugglers" are those of us who don't consider housework to be an important part of our day-to-day lives, and "Dirt Dodgers" clean only when it is absolutely necessary.

Cleaned Out

Today with both parents working 40 hours a week, the average household is busier than ever. Most families can barely find time to make dinner, let alone clean the house. The average household spends 10 hours per week on miscellaneous housework and the vast majority of that falls to the woman of the house. It's no wonder that 20% hire some sort of housecleaning service. Though, it does lead us to ask the question: "Husbands, are you helping out your wife around the house enough?" •

Reader Humor Suck It Up

When I was in college, I took all sorts of odd jobs. One summer I even became a door-todoor vacuum salesman. While most people closed the door on me, one older woman was very happy to invite me in. After I demonstrated the model on her living room carpet, she asked if I would try it on her tiled kitchen floor. Happy to oblige, I demonstrated the hardwood floor setting and vacuumed the area. When I asked for her thoughts, she told me to try it on her bedroom carpet. Rather confused I asked, "Is your bedroom carpet a different type?" "Oh no," she replied honestly, "But if you do the last room, I can cancel the housecleaner this week." (Thanks to Marlene G.)
