Symphony’s Andy Lewis Percussion plays important role in concerts

A

ndy Lewis often spends an entire evening on stage, standing at attention as he waits to play one note. But that singular clash of cymbals in Anton Bruckner’s seventh symphony or that 10second pounding of the kettle drums in another score may be the most important part of the concert, he says. “Those often constitute some very famous moments,” he says, explaining how he tries to pass the moments by not think-

CSI fall semester begins Monday

F

all semester begins Aug. 23 at the College of Southern Idaho. Registration is open now, and prospective students are encouraged to register as soon as possible because many classes are reaching their enrollment capacity. This fall, the CSI Blaine County Campus in Hailey offers 60 academic classes, 20 community education classes, an English as a Second Language program, and adult basic education classes. In addition, students can choose from a wide range of online courses. Students can accomplish their lower division general education requirements working solely from the CSI Blaine County Campus. “Over the past year, CSI has seen quite a surge in enrollment,” said Jenny Emery Davidson, director of the Blaine County Campus. “Here in Hailey, we’re seeing a lot of students choosing to start their college education locally to experience high-quality, small classes at an affordable price, and we’re seeing a lot of people come back to school to re-tool their skills for the changing marketplace.” More information is available at the CSI office at the Community Campus, by phone at 788-2033, and online at www.csi.edu/blaine.

Mariposa lily

Photo and Story By KAREN BOSSICK

The white mariposa lily is also known locally as the sego lily or star tulip. One form has been named Utah’s state flower. The tulip-shaped flower is like many of Sun Valley’s second-home owners, generally showing up in late June or early July and staying for the rest of the summer, enjoying the best of what summer has to offer. The flower can be seen along most Wood River Valley trails and north of Ketchum, as well. It features three white petals easily as large as a quarter with a deep purple splotch on each. Occasionally, the petals look a little pinkish, as well. Onion-like leaves occur at the base. The entire plant is edible. The highly nutritious bulbs were an important foodstuff for American Indians and pioneers, who dug them in spring before the plants flowered. They ate the bulbs raw or dried them and ground them into flour. Or they roasted them in hot ashes or boiled or steamed them. twp

Julia Couch, ALA vice president, says that the organization hopes to raise the more than $25,000 needed to train, purchase, feed, and house this special dog. The fundraising event will take place Saturday, Aug. 21

at the American Legion Hall grounds, 220 Cottonwood St., Ketchum, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Activities include food, music, contests, a dog agility course and dog-training demos that will take place throughout the day.

Community Library McPhees By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Community Library is providing a warm-up to this weekend’s Sun Valley Writers’ Conference with two looks at books. Judith Freeman, a nationallyrenowned author who lives over the hill in Fairfield, will have a conversation with Australianborn lawyer David Francis about his newest novel, “Stray Dog Winter� at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Ketchum library. The novel, a love story set during an extortion plot designed to change the course of the Cold War, is filled with suspense, intrigue and “a good deal of sexiness,� according to Books, Inc. And the three McPhee sisters—Jenny, Laura and Martha—will discuss their literary endeavors at 6 p.m. Thursday. Martha McPhee’s “Dear Money� reveals the sinister force of our grasping material side and shows us what we lose when

we’re so focused on acquiring, according to “Whole Living Review.� The novel depicts the greed and riotous wealth of New York during the heady days of the second gilded age when people with no money were snapping up homes right and left. Jenny McPhee’s “No Ordinary Matter� illustrates the science that underlies people’s bizarre behavior. It revolves around a soap opera scriptwriter who becomes attracted to a new actor who, unbeknownst to her, is the unsuspecting father of her sister’s unborn baby. Her sister, meanwhile, simply used the young actor to dampen the sounds of her biological clock ticking. And Laura McPhee, who is represented by Gail Severn Gallery, will discuss her photographs depicting the mountain ranges, rivers , ranch lands, wildfires and mining scars of the Sawtooth Valley. twp

The Habitat and the tree of knowledge I

f you want to understand the world, you have to go down more than one by: BALI trail, and SZABO you better have a good backpack, a toolbox. ‘World’ is a big word. We usually mean just one part of it. And that’s just the physical world. Then there’s the human world, which is, in its own way, equally vast, and much of it is our own creation. That’s where we live, that’s what we know and want to know. It’s a kind of commonsense narcissism. It’s enough to give geologists an inferiority complex. They complain that not many people show interest in the subject. And then there are the numerous bridges between us and the physical world. The discipline of geography is a good example of that. It stands at the intersection of humanity and the natural world. Lately, that’s become a minefield. As a gardener, I am like a software engineer who stands at the interface between hardware and humanity, the world of apps. In gardening, especially here at the Habitat, I apply tools and decisions to the natural world. What I’m actually doing is re-establishing a more natural landscape, rehabilitating a former half-acre vacant lot (city land) from an invasiveweed-infested, garbage-strewn parcel to a non-poisonous, bio-

habitat for non-humanity

diverse home to a great many microbes, insects, small animals and plants. (The use of poisons would eliminate any pretense to species’ diversity). This will never be nature. This is simply a place where, with the passage of time, nature can take over and assume an ever-larger role on a very small island. There is one other form of knowledge that does not require the prosthetics of the natural sciences and the humanities. I know that I have an evolution/ science bias in many of these articles. That’s because it’s a shared language appropriate for most readers on most subjects most of the time. Newspapers like facts, and I like them, so you know that I’m not making this stuff up. I am a born observer. Many newspapers are named

The Observer. An evangelist or an ideologue I am not. I’m a terrible salesman. There is the spiritual way of knowledge, but there is really no road map, no Ph.D. No train stops at Enlightenment. The Tree of Knowledge is of little use on this quest, though it does teach us that there is a world beyond the ‘me’. All knowledge leads us to an endless series of beyonds. The Habitat is one of my ballasts on this journey, openness my toolbox. This is an essentially individual trip that should be all action and little talk. The Observer does not proselytize, and the walker just twp keeps walking. If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Midsummer Night’s Dream at nexStage By KAREN BOSSICK

C

onniving fairies and hilarious clowns will come together in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park this week and next as Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival mounts one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival will serve up “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Thursday through Sunday and Aug. 26 through 29. The classic fairy tale explores the pandemonium and transformations that occur when characters go off into the woods and engage in mischief-making before returning to reality “‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ has a little bit of everything. It is wild and funny and serious and touching with great love stories and hilarious clowns,” said Director Bruce Hostetler. Hostetler, who hails from the Shakespeare Mecca of Ashland, Ore., has set this particular version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in early 1600s America in a Jamestown-like venue. It allows for period English costumes by Bellevue seamstress Winkie McCray and American accents with nasal A’s, rather than English accents. And it offers a setting at the edge of Western civilization surrounded by wilderness that people know nothing about. “It offers the opportunity to go into the very scary woods where we face monsters and fairies,” said Hostetler. “We love stories about monsters and fairies because our culture—the European culture—grew up with fairy tales.” Though the setting is far removed from Shakespeare’s England, the basic premise of the play is not. It still features Duke Theseus, who is about to marry his captured Indian princess Hippolyta. And the highly authoritative father of Lysander who insists she marry Demetrius, even though she is in love with Hermia. And Helena, who is head over heels in love with Hermia. And the fairy king and queen Oberon and Titania who are in the middle of a monstrous marital spat involving real or imagined infidelities and the possession of a small human “changeling child.” And, of course, there’s Puck, the naughty sprite who loves to watch young lovers struggle and yell at one another. “We have lovers learning to love in a mature way beyond puppy love infatuation. They learn love has to do with wanting to be around someone. By the end, they’ve grown up. They

Felder at benefit I

daho’s famous hot potatoes kept former Eagles by: Karen guitarBossick ist Don Felder coming to Sun Valley for years. But now he can’t stay away. Tonight, the multi-Grammy Award winner will turn the Sun Valley Pavilion into Hotel California for the second year in a row as he performs a benefit concert for leukemia and cancer research. A few tickets are left for the concert, which will benefit St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute and the University of Minnesota Cancer Research. Felder hemmed and hawed for several years when his celebrity friends tried to persuade him to join them in Sun Valley for the Danny Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament. The tournament has become one of the leading fundraisers for leukemia and cancer research since it was started in 1976. Who wants to go to a place known for potatoes? mused Felder. Finally, Felder relented. And he was so impressed with Sun Valley and the golf tourney that he’s been back ever since. Last year he offered to play a benefit concert at the Sun Valley Pavilion after seeing the new pavilion constructed with rock from the same Roman quarry that once provided rock for the Roman colliseum. And more than 1,300 fans— young and old—thrilled as he sang a couple hours’ worth of the Eagles’ hits, sounding very similar to the original recordings. Felder co-wrote “Hotel California,” which was the most successful song the Eagles recorded and, as far as he knows, the only song recorded twice by the same group. Both times it was nominated for a Grammy Award. “I think it struck a chord with people because everyone has an image of California with its palm trees, movie stars. So when you say California, it’s an easy icon to identify,” he said. Felder plays a dozen fundraisers each year for everything from autism to children’s charities. “I was fortunate enough to be given a gift. And to be able to use it to play for good causes and make people happy is icing on the cake,” he said. In all, Felder said, he plays about 50 shows a year, including a lot of private corporate events and casinos from Las Vegas to Hawaii. “More than that and it seems too much like work,” he said. Too much touring would also keep him from finishing his new CD, which he describes as “round and six inches across, silver and shiny on one side.” Felder said he might play one of the new tunes at tonight’s concert. But if he does, it will be an audible based on whether he thinks the audience is patient and polite enough to sit through a song it doesn’t know. “A lot of times the audience just wants to hear the hits,” he said. “And I’m happy to give that to them.” twp

briefs Sternberg speaks on mind-body

The St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation invites the community to hear internationally recognized physician and author Dr. Esther Sternberg discuss the science and complexities of the mind-body interaction as part of the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation’s 2010 Health and Well-being Speaker Series. During this free community event, Dr. Sternberg will discuss her latest book, Healing Spaces: Exploring the Complicated Working Relationships between the Senses, the Emotions and the Immune System, at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 19 at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood. “We are privileged to bring Dr. Sternberg to the Wood River Valley,� says Dr. Scott McLean, Jr., president of the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation. “Her studies and insights on the effects of health and brain-immune interactions in response to stressors are dramatic.� Dr. Sternberg’s lecture is the second of a three-part speaker series sponsored by the Foundation, which focus on the role of healthy relationships, lifestyles and nutrition to promote wellness. The series compliments the Foundation’s work to support the St. Luke’s Wood River’s Integrative Therapies program, which offers healing modalities such as Healing Touch, acupuncture, yoga and meditation.

briefs Craters celebrates cooperative mgmt.

On Saturday, Aug. 21, officials from the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management, and other constituents will gather to mark the 10th anniversary of cooperative management between the two agencies at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. The public is invited to join them at 1 p.m. at the Craters of the Moon Visitor Center for the dedication of a new exhibit that celebrates the personal connections that people have with the unique landscape. The new exhibit, like the “new� Monument, is a collaborative effort between the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Craters of the Moon became a National Monument in 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge set aside an area in southern Idaho containing “many curious and unusual phenomena of great educational value.� In the years that followed, the boundaries of the Monument were expanded and altered numerous times by Congress and by five Presidents. In 2000 President Bill Clinton initiated a 13-fold increase in the size of the Monument in order “to assure protection of the entire Great Rift volcanic zone.� There will be a short presentation and an opportunity for speaking followed by light refreshments.

movie review

Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Libra pull at each other from across the heavens, creating tension between what we think we personally deserve and what is wise for the collective. Saturn in Libra reminds us that relationships are what really matter in this lifetime -- perhaps the only things that matter at all. Jupiter in Aries suggests that taking care of oneself is the start of creating good relationships, and he does make a valid point. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone dear has the wrong attitude. You can work with this, though. Through gentle persuasion and your stellar example, you will move a loved one from one set of beliefs to an entirely different set of beliefs -- perhaps even an opposing set of beliefs. And this you’ll do with great skill. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will take on new horizons and be clever and innovative in your approach. And though you initially believe you can do everything in a new way, it will serve you to learn the old way first. Then you’ll know the obstacles -- which ones you can skip over and which ones you will have to go around. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In at least one area of your life, you are now doing the very thing you wanted to do years ago. This is, in part, the vision you had for yourself. Let this be

a joyful realization. Revel in this success. Throw a party. You are a powerful creator, and you can take that vote of confidence into your next big adventure. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You just need to vent. Friends and family will hear you -- but only for a time. And you could eventually regret spilling your guts to them. But if you turn to a journal instead, you can rant on for as long as you like. Plus, you’ll work out a few key details and in the process unlock the secret to improving your circumstances. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your dreams will be vivid this week, though you’ll still forget most of them. What comes back to you will be but a curious glimpse into that nocturnal world. Ponder the meaning and you’ll agree with the poet Edgar Allan Poe about the illusory nature of this existence: “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are those you’ll have trouble communicating with, and you might be tempted to consider this your problem. But you’re only half to blame. Communication is a joint effort, requiring participation from both parties. The good news is that your life improves markedly once you solve this communication issue. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Jon rated this movie

and a fabulously wealthy new client. Into his life comes a taxidermist—played by Carell—who specializes in intricate and heartwarming dioramas of dead mice. Rudd can’t lose except that Carell takes him on a series of misadventures that threatens his relationship and career. In the end, they both rise above the occasion and show everyone who the true losers are. Standing out is the excellent Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) who steals the show as a mentalist tax auditor. If only the rest of the film had risen to his level. twp

the lights, and you’ll quickly realize the truth about your eyes. They don’t see objects, only the light reflecting off of objects. Similarly, it’s not your experiences that really count so much as your interpretation of experiences. You’ll make an effort to see things as shiny and new this week, and soon it’s second nature. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This is no time for asking “how,� and asking “why� is even worse. Dwell instead on the luscious emotions you want to feel -- the euphoria of having crossed the finish line. Conjure up the good vibes, and stay there as long as possible. Life starts figuring out the “hows.� As for the “whys,� they are not yours to know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have practiced a skill well. You’ll have moments of mastery this week. From here, you can give up the struggle without giving up the fight -- and that’s exactly what you will do. The battle is over, but the challenges keep coming. You handle each one from a powerful, detached, unemotional place. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s an old English saying that’s perfect for you this week, oh, ye sea goat of the zodiac! “If you don’t tell people where your goat is tied up, then they can’t get your goat.� You’ll keep your emotions under wraps. You’ll find tricks to keep yourself calm, steady and clearheaded -- therefore, powerful in your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are times when being a control freak is the best way. For instance, this week: It’s your name on the line, and you are in fact the one who stands to lose or gain the most in the end. Besides, it will be a joy to revel in the details. You will love getting your hands into every aspect of your project. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Take all the “shoulds� off of your list. Be OK with the fact that there are some things you just don’t feel like doing. You don’t want to -- that’s reason enough. For you to make an endeavor a priority, it will have to be exciting enough to ignite a fire in your belly. You’ll know immediately. You won’t be able to not do it. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll make good things happen to you. Since you’re wide awake, you’ll seize the opportunities that come along in the next four weeks. You either have what people want or you are in close enough proximity to grab it, package it, sell it and turn a profit. You’ll be making friends while you make money. twp

Say thank you to the more than 200 Wood River Valley neighbors who support renewable energy by participating in the Green Power Program. Their voluntary contributions support the growth and development of certified, environmentally-sound wind and solar power and helped fund the solar panels at Wood River High. You can make a difference too. Just $7 a month is equal to removing a year’s worth of vehicle emissions from our air.

Race for a local cause with Girls on the Run

The Wood River Valley is full of athletes of all shapes and sizes, of all ability levels, and from every generation. There are so many ways to be encouraged to get out there and stay motivated by making athletic goals for ourselves. “Seeing the faces of the 8, 9 and 10 year old girls crossing the finish line after completing their own Girls on the Run 5k, I will never forget the expressions of joy, relief, accomplishment and pride of the girls as they crossed the finish line. To be able to accomplish my own athletic fetes with this in my mind as I do, gives me a unique opportunity to be inspired while making a difference,” shared Daryl Fauth who ran the Boise Half Ironman as benefit for Girls on the Run of the Wood River and as a member of the Solemates team. SoleMates is the charity running “leg” of Girls on the Run, where teams of athletes pursue individual goals, such as running a marathon, half marathon, completing a triathlon or even running your first 5k or 10k, to raise money for our local Wood River Valley chapter. Interested individuals can find out more about the Solemates program, while joining other local athletes for some beer tasting at the Powerhouse, on Thursday, Aug. 19 from 5-6 p.m. Please RSVP to Mary Fauth at 7887863 or mary@girlsontherunwrv.org.

Wood River Trail Weed Control

The Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) will continue its 2010 integrated pest management plan to control noxious weeds along the Wood River Trail. The entire Wood River Trail will be spot-sprayed in the early mornings of Wednesday through Wednesday, Aug. 18-25. In addition, mowing will occur along the edges of the Harriman Trail during this time. Environmental Resources is scheduled to do the spraying and mowing. The project will be rescheduled if unfavorable weather conditions occur such as wind or rain. The chemical use is targeted at weeds; grasses are unaffected by spray. Areas being sprayed will be identified with signs. The chemical being used smells and the odor lingers for days. Keep pets out of sprayed areas until odor is gone. The Wood River Trail will not be closed; signs will be posted with treatment dates. MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is available at the BCRD office, upon request. BCRD has also engaged Whitehead Landscaping to run a test program, using its compost tea and beetles, to control weeds. The test site for Whitehead extends along the east side of the path from the Hailey Cemetery road south about a quarter mile. For more information contact Eric Rector, Blaine County Recreation District, 208-578-BCRD or erector@bcrd. org.

Cameron wins Idaho Camera Birding Photo Competition

T

he Idaho Birding Blog has announced that Bellevue nature photographer Kathleen Cameron has been awarded first place in their first ever semi-annual photography competition. The competition was sponsored by Idaho Camera of Boise, Idaho. Contest judge Phillip White noted that Kathleen’s Bohemian Waxwing image stood out as a superior image on multiple levels compositionally. In White’s estimate an additional quality that makes this shot a winner is the Art Nuevo feeling that a viewer familiar with that genre will appreciate. Cameron also received an Honorable mention for her shot of a Bullock’s Oriole. Both images were taken in Bellevue. Cameron is well known in Idaho as a passionate birdwatcher and for the Majestic Feathers birding tours she organizes to Costa Rica. She continues to search the valley for the perfect bird shot and this week she is speaking in Missoula, Mt, and at the Golden Gate Audubon’s meeting in Berkeley, California about the ecological connections between Central and North America. To read the judge’s comments in full please visit: www.idahobirdingblog.com/2010/06/idaho-camera-birding-photo-competition.html To view or purchase Cameron’s nature photography please visit: www.gotacameron. com.

Toni A. Lash

Sept 2, 1929 – Aug. 12, 2010 Toni passed on unexpectedly of a major stroke Thursday morning, Aug. 12, 2010. She was 80 years old. Toni was born on Labor Day, Sept. 2, 1929 in Tacoma, Wash., just eight weeks before the big stock market crash. Growing up, she spent her early childhood summers on her Aunt Olive’s farm with her cousin Charlie—often eating too many strawberries or blackberries—and when she had to go back to Tacoma, and then finally Seattle, it was in high school where she met her husband Don Rhinehart. After having three children, Toni and Don and the family in tow, moved to Ketchum in 1961, teaching skiing in the winter, they fell in love with Sun Valley’s beauty. Toni became an avid tennis player and water skier up at Petit Lake in the Sawtooth Mtns. Toni later became a Real Estate Broker in the Ketchum area she loved and called home. Toni is survived by her three children: Robin Miller of Novato, Calif., Mark Rhinehart of Winthrop, Wash., and Darcy Rhinehart, who lives in Ketchum. Toni’s children gave her five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Toni was an exceptional woman. She loved countless people and was at her happiest when with people. She will be missed so greatly by many of those she loved. A memorial service for friends and family will be held at a later date.

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR AugusT 18, 2010 • By: Jim sAnTA

T

his week’s report will open with Silver Creek since there’s a lot to talk about on the creek right now. The early to mid morning mayfly activity has been quite good, even considered outstanding at times. The mornings have been opening with trico although this may start to wane a bit. Mixed with trico can be small pmd’s and baetis. Whatever the mix, fish are eagerly feeding on these mayflies Look for things to die off mid morning as it heats up. This can typically be the time the wind begins to come up and if so, the hopper action can be good. The late (dark thirty) evenings have also provided some outstanding action with small pmd/ped. When the evening action seems to just be winding down, stay a bit longer and you might get lucky and be treated to some really hot action for about 15 minutes just as it gets dark. After a bit of a slow period, the Big Wood seems to be picking up a bit again. There hasn’t been any specific hatch going in the mornings, but there is a mix of a few different bugs. This is not a time of season where the Big Wood fish are keyed in on anything in particular but rather opportunistic feeding on whatever may float by. More importantly, cover lots of water and make good presentations and you should pick up some fish. Hopper action is picking up so that’s one bug to have in your arsenal and there are also a lot of little yellow stoneflies. A yellow or tan elk hair caddis works great for this. Mix it up with some other basic patterns, throw on a trailing nymph when things get tough and you should be good-to-go. There is a good number of caddis in the evening and the smaller fish are definitely on these, some of the bigger fish are as-well, but they’ll also eat some bigger bugs even when caddis is the primary hatch. Over the hill in Copper Basin fishing has also been productive. Your Big Wood fly selection will work just fine. The water flow on the Lower Lost is being steadily reduced and with this becoming more wade friendly will be another great option. The water levels throughout our region have held up nicely and we’ll be in for great fishing from now through the fall. Enjoy your time on the water. Good (Free) Advice

Pianist, Misha Dichter

Andy Lewis said the number of percussion instruments he can choose from to make various sounds, including the African djembe drum and cha chas made from seed pods, “can drive you crazy.” Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP

closer look: andy lewis......................................from pg 1 National Orchestra in Colombia and then with the San Francisco Symphony—a position he held 17 years until he moved to Sun Valley three years ago. Lewis’ Woodside home is filled to the rafters with the tools of his trade. Suitcases full of plastic and wooden drumsticks of all shapes and sizes line the garage walls. There are triangles, glockenspiels and a tortoise shell that Indians in the rainforest rubbed their hands across to play. There are dozens of maracas, a Tibetan prayer drum made of monkey skulls, Maori Indian balls, shakers made of animal toenails, African gourds, Indian table drums, a marimba, vibraphone, snare drum and a tympani. He also has eight guitars, a piano and organ, didgeridoo, cello and a violin that he learned to play three years ago. And there’s more. Much more. Still, even with that, he can recall the time he had to improvise, using paintbrushes he borrowed from a janitor when he forgot his drum brushes. Lewis has been pulled out off the audience to substitute for a percussionist that didn’t show. He once played an entire concert solo in a coliseum when rain chased his fellow musicians off stage. And, no, he never feels like a lesser part of the orchestra, even when he does only have a few notes to play. “It would be like you were missing a whole section of the orchestra without me because of-

ten I’m the only percussionist up there,” he says. “Percussion is the color, the punctuation point in the music.” In fact, says Lewis who wrote a textbook on “Rhythm,” a study of rhythm was required in the curriculum of Aristotle’s day. And with good reason. Students who study music often do better in other studies because they learn to discipline themselves in addition to learning social skills that allow them to perform with others. Lewis, an orchestra teacher in the Blaine County schools last year, plans to start an orchestra program in Colombia this year similar to one featured on “60 Minutes” that “saves” kids from the slum by getting them involved in an orchestra. Doing that will allow Lewis more time with his 10-year-old daughter, who lives in that country. But he will continue to conduct the Wood River Community Orchestra, which he started three years ago to give youth and adults a place to play their clarinet or violin. He plans to play with the Magic Valley symphony this winter. And he hopes to be back with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony next season. “The thing about the Sun Valley Summer Symphony is that it’s so good you can do one rehearsal and play the pants off a piece,” he says. “You don’t have to belabor anything because you have a stage full off musicians who are so experienced and so twp enthusiastic…”

“I don’t know of any other musician who has done something like this—it’s just such a big time commitment,” he said. “The completion rate among all home builders is about 25 percent or 30 percent. It takes unbelievable determination.” Flying gives Constant a rare opportunity to go solo after all the hours he spends being part of “a mosaic with a hundred different people.” And it’s given him another way to validate himself besides his music. It’s also provided a bridge for his newfound pilot friends into the classical musical world. Four couples flew from the Bay area into Sun Valley last week to watch Constant perform. And one man has been spending the entire three-week concert season in Sun Valley ever since he met Constant a few years ago. Fellow pilot Ray McCrea calls himself a frustrated musician who opted to listen to music rather than attempt it himself. He flew into Sun Valley to intending to attend one concert before flying on to Colorado. But he ended up staying the entire season and has come back every season since. McCrea not only attends every concert but he attends rehearsals as well, studying the changes Conductor Alasdair Neale makes and examining how the orchestra sounds that evening as a result. “I could fly anywhere on vacation, but I can’t think of any place that’s better,” he said. “This is a spectacular orchestra—as good as any I’ve heard. And I’ve become friends with many of the members, taking them on sightseeing rides, because of Jeremy. “As for Jeremy—I’m just impressed that he could pull something like this airplane off. It took me 11 years to build my airplane from scratch. His was a kit but, still, he was working three orchestras at the same time.” Constant said the experience has given him a new high. “There’s a lot of overcoming in both endeavors. It feels personally risky to be on stage just as and it feels personally risky to fly a plane. But, in the end, they’re both about joy. And taking those risks heightens the twp joy.”

Screen hits high note By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he 26th Sun Valley Summer Symphony season came to an end Tuesday night after plenty of high notes that included enthusiastic performances by Garth Brooks, Itzhak Perlman and even a rousing rendition of the William Tell Overture that had lawn sitters bucking in their lawn chairs. “It was all I could do to keep from shouting ‘Hi Ho, Silver!” said Muriel Brandt. “I hope they make that a regular part of their performance!” One of the things this symphony season will be remembered for, however, is something that was not on stage nor did it make a peep. That would be the 14-by-25foot LED screen that the symphony board hauled in from Los Angeles for the Garth Brooks concert and then rounded up again and brought back as the screen was heading down the road to Salt Lake City. It’s difficult to envision a symphony season without it now that we’ve been spoiled. The screen totally changed the way we enjoy the symphony. It converted some Pavilion seat holders to lawn picnickers, making it easier for those who want Pavilion seats to get them. It eliminated the necessity for people to spread their blankets out on the lawn at 6 in the morning since everyone has a frontrow seat to the concert from just about anywhere on the lawn. The cameramen’s presence at rehearsals allowed them to zoom in on key close-ups to enhance spectators’ appreciation of what was happening on stage. And the entire experience made lawn-goers much more

attentive—a far cry from the days when lawn-sitters did more chatting and playing with dogs than listening. The lawn crowd has repeatedly risen to its feet following special numbers and many lawn-goers had tears in their eyes following the Perlman concert—something Symphony Director Jennifer Teisinger said she has not witnessed from the lawn audience since the Pavilion opened in 2008. Brian Miley, who built the screen, says the 7,000-pound screen we’ve been enjoying costs $1.5 million. If we’d like to go bigger, he’s made a 250-foot one for events like the Super Bowl. He’s also built a screen for a yacht owner who wanted a really big big-screen TV. As for the hundred-foot tall crane? John Huddleston said it comes from just down the

Forest Fire

The Castle Rock Complex in Central Idaho By RICK SIEVERS

Something has been released. Something has been taken. Something has been offered. A part of the body cries. A wisp of hope hovers in midair, gasping for earth. An old wooden span has snapped. The house, once shiny, moans on her foundations. Do you feel the pressure plummet? An opening for the storm drops in from the desert through the charred flanks of once glacial rivulets. The house knows her fate from the creaking of the ceiling and the shuddering of panes and jams. Prepare ye the way for Holy Karma, Destroyer, Creator of changing winds, lover of smoky offerings. © Richard Sievers August 2010. Poem from book: Earth, My Body.

If they can save seeds in Russia, imagine what we can do here. The legendary Bill McDorman from Seeds Trust/High Altitude Gardens shares stories and techniques on Thursday, Aug. 19, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. In this unique presentation, Bill will inspire his audience to reconnect with the ancient ritual of seed saving. In 1989, Bill traveled behind the Iron Curtain on a horticultural and botanical garden tour. At the time, Seeds Trust was incorporated as High Altitude Gardens and was based out of Hailey, Idaho. With the globalization of the seed market and virtually no area left untouched by hybrid American seeds, Bill’s hope was to find some remarkable open-pollinated, cold-tolerant varieties in Russia and he did. Other topics of discussion include: the terminator gene, hybrids, heirloom seeds and the importance of diversity. There is no entrance fee, but there is a suggested donation of $10.

t was as if the strange woman had cast a spell upon her obscure name, rendering it impossible to recollect, although, I do remember her long singular name had four “i’s” in it. She released us and we trotted a little further down the wet and rocky Petit Lake trail. As the snow melted in the late morning forest sun, I came upon two more houses that I remembered from childhood: the last one an old blue Victorian, facing Toxaway Loop. I vaguely recalled some sort of strange happenings there too, but couldn’t penetrate the decades-old memories to put my finger on it yet. Suddenly, as I spun around in the wet mud, I realized that I was able to fly again. I grabbed a hold of Amy and we flew feet-first with our bare toes sticking out straight ahead of us. Remarkably, the fact that we were able to fly felt quite natural, as it usually does with such triumphant flying dreams. This incubated a thought that I would like to twist our bodies to

face forward and fly like Superman and Superwoman to show the Petit-Lakeians what their prodigal son had learned, while gone ten years on vast Indiana Jones adventures. They will love this! -I thought in a powerful inner celebration, and they will talk about it for decades! The plan was for Amy and me to float slow-motion past the children’s clamor and their holiday cauldron, while giving them the broadest smiles we could possibly manage. However, when we tried to spin about, to fly face-first like Superheroes, something went off kilter with our inner gyroscopes. A queer anti-gravity force led us to a higher altitude, and unexpectedly we were soaring in fast motion clouds, directly behind four space pilots and four astronauts. Those high-flyers were all relying on spacesuits and other backup technologies, so we laughed at them, as we took wing on mind-power alone! It all felt quite fearless, but for some reason, Amy and I were unable to switch our inner gears back down to earth, no matter how hard we tried. Then finally Amy showed me the secret—that is, we could regulate our altitude by taking deep breaths, just like with scuba diving in Petit Lake. Abruptly awakening to present-day reality, I lay there motionless for several minutes, lightly buzzing about the powerful flying dream. Then, as the

dreamscape partially melted, it occurred to me that those uncanny houses in the woods were never actually there, but rather had been places imagn’d from childhood dreams. Vivid places I occasionally revisited over the decades, where many events had taken shape and form – enough to record a small history deep in my subconscious. These made me wonder if this all was merely in my mind, or are our minds potentially more powerful than what our instructors taught, in earlier schools of thought? When we dream, do we somehow mysteriously connect to otherworldly dimensions, where ongoing ethereal events persist in parallel fashions? Then I realized that I had been sleeping on a sofa with a cushion that Amy had specially embroidered for me. She emblazoned it with some cute animals, most notably some pink rabbits dancing on the pillow, which had been pressing softly against my dreamy head… twp

now a good swan counselor? It appears that the swans that inhabit the pond in front of the Sun Valley Lodge have been on the outs this past week. Sun Valley Snowsports Director Alan Patzer says that one of the swans went missing during the middle of last week and no one could find it. When it did finally turn up, it was in the water across from Sun Valley’s Recreation Office in the Sun Valley Village Mall, rather than on its home turf. As of press time, the two swans had yet to reunite. So don’t be surprised if you hear any honking, grunting or hissing coming from that area, rather than a beautiful swan song. twp

Time flies when you don’t know what you’re doing.

To Your Health ~ good advice from local practitioners ~

Bicycle in Comfort By Kim mazik of Hailey sport & spine physical therapy

W

hether you are a competitive cyclist or just a weekend cruiser, proper bicycle fit is extremely important. Taking the time to properly adjust your bike will promote good posture and allow all muscle groups and joints to work appropriately. When the miles add up, this will reduce your chances of muscle strain in the neck, back and legs. Even if a patient casually mentions to me that they cycle on a regular basis, I’ll question him/her extensively about the bike itself. I want to know if they use a mountain bike, road bike, or ‘cruiser’ bike, as the position of the body varies with each. I ask about symptoms following a ride to try and zero in on possible adjustments that need to be made to the bike. Often, I’ll ask the patient to bring the bike to my clinic so I can assess the fit firsthand. One problem I frequently see is the failure to adjust the seat high enough to permit full knee range of motion which, not surprisingly, results in pain in the area of the kneecap. Sometimes, though the fit itself is good, poor body awareness while riding can be a source

of pain. An example of this is the tendency for people to jut the chin forward while riding. This forward head posture changes the relationship of the head to the neck, resulting in excessive muscle strain with common complaints of neck and trapezius pain or numbness and tingling in the arm(s). I suggest training yourself to keep your chin back (as if giving yourself a mild ‘double chin’) and using your eyes versus your head/neck to look ahead. Those of us who are below or above the average heights for our gender may need to further customize the fit if all else fails.

up paying close to $250 more on a six-month policy for the same coverage. In the case of business insurance, having to go to the higher-risk markets for commercial insurance is costly indeed, where broker fee and taxes alone may cost you $200. It is fairly easy to understand behaviors at insurance companies when it comes to claims and claim history on given accounts. Behind the scenes, many are not aware of the concerns insurance companies have about latepaying and lapsing customers. When you receive your next bill for your insurance, it may not be an easy pill to swallow. Unfortunately, ignoring it can certainly be more costly than twp paying it.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, You might think that after working at the same company for 20 years, I'd get a promotion. Not when the boss is your Mom! Yes, I have been working in the family business since I was 12 years old and now I need a new environment, new co-workers and a new boss! The problem is, my resume and references read like a family tree. I hardly think my future employer will appreciate my Mom's glowing recommendation of, "Oh yes, Ricky is such a swell kid." What should I do?

• • • Cash: Well at least Mom gives you a good recommendation. Although if she starts explaining how bright you were as a baby, it may be time to worry. Carry: No matter what she says, potty training should not be considered an accomplishment! You may want to look elsewhere for references. Cash: Expanding to a career outside the family business may not be as challenging as you think. The hardest part may be handling how it affects your family. Carry: The first thing you need to do is modify your resume. Since your only employment is

Fast Facts Everyone is Family

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 08/08/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®

the family business, you will need to expand upon the listing. Give a description of the business, your job position and the responsibilities you had while there. Just because it is a family business, does not make it less valuable as a work experience. Cash: With regard to references, listing Mom may not be your best bet. With 20 years of experience in the business, you should have plenty of other options. Consider using employees who worked with you or suppliers you have dealt with over the years. These people can attest to your work ethic and business practices. People from your local Chamber of Commerce or charities you worked with could also

make great references as well. Carry: Also, don't forget about using your friends. When work experience is limited, it's a good idea to include character references. They can attest to your communication skills or your ability of handling stressful situations. Cash: And after working with the family, you should be well versed with stressful conditions. Carry: So coming from the family company can actually work to your benefit. Many people who run family businesses are multifaceted. This capability can be a great advantage in the job market. Cash: And don't worry, you'll do great in your new job. Just make sure Mom packs you a nice lunch!

Are you working for a large corporation of a family business? You may be surprised to learn that many of the top companies are family-owned, even those traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It's estimated that family firms represent 89% of all businesses in the United States and account for 34% of the companies listed on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The next time you apply for a job in Corporate America, you may be walking into a family-run company.

Family or Foe

Planning to work in the family business? Before you accept the job, consider the pros and cons. While it may seem like an easy job interview, family systems and business practices do not always go hand in hand. The baggage from family situations is statistically the downfall of most family businesses. If you're going to say yes to the family job, make sure your role as an employee is clearly defined. On the positive side, family businesses offer tremendous employee support and dedication to the company's success. •

Reader Humor Growing Business

Our family is really close. My two sisters and I live with Mom and Dad and we all work in the family business. When my boyfriend and I got engaged, I knew it would be a shock to my father. Although he loved my fiancé, he was sad to see his oldest daughter growing up and moving out of the house. "I'll still be working in the family business," I explained. "And you'll see me every day." But nothing worked. "It's like losing a daughter," he cried. Finally I came up with the thought that made him smile. "Don't think of me getting married as losing a daughter," I said. "Think of it as gaining a new employee!" (Thanks to Angela K.)
