For better or worse – Part I

A

few weeks ago, C-Span aired the Senate Budget Committee hearing on the state of the U.S. economy. It was fascinatby: JIMA Rice, Ph.D. ing: a civil and informative exploration of our current economy addressing how we got here, where exactly we are, things we can expect, and what we should do. Testimony was offered by Morgan Stanley’s Managing Director and Chief U.S. Economist, Dr David Berner; MIT Global Economics and Entrepreneurship Professor, Dr. Simon Johnson; and founder and CEO of Naroff Economic Advisors, Dr. Joel Naroff. I’ve composed a summary of the hearing to benchmark what these experts agree on regarding our economy. I leave it to you for any critiques. Part I takes up the first three questions above. Part II will appear next week and address testimony on “what should we do?” How we got into this mess: Market economies are subject to boom-bust cycles roughly every 3-7 years. Maintaining an economic peak is challenging. Growth usually tips into overheating which leads to an economic downturn. The government applies fiscal policy (taxing and spending) and monetary policy (interest rates and money supply) either to stimulate or slow the economy. In a recessionary economy, it usually reduces taxes, increases spending, lowers interest rates, and increases the money supply. Overheating

GENERAL INFORMATION

empus fugit. Time is like money, there’s seldom enough. Us older folks are acutely aware of this phenomenon. Anytime we are intensely involved in something (necking?), time moves at the speed of light. People who think there’s lots of time miss deadlines. Sharply seasonal climes like ours accelerate the perception of vanishing time. Where has the summer gone? Wherefore art thou, the Spring of my life? In our human existence, whose duration is measured by a variety of devices, the clock is always ticking. Faced with this unpleasantness, we devise strategies to defeat the passage of time, like wishful thinking and denial, or loftier aims like mysticism, art, or children. People like me, who grow things, and so perpetuate life, have our strategies as well. A Greek proverb says, ‘A civilization flourishes when people plant trees under which they’ll never sit.� Wildflowers have relatively short growth cycles, especially in arid zones like ours. Their short duration is not genetically programmed. For instance, phototropism is hard-wired into the life of the plant. When days get shorter, their growth slows. The energy is stored and goes

the first generation are poking their blue heads through the thickets of mature summer. Water to a garden is like money to a community. The Habitat is green and has ample color through September. Plants invest in larger root systems, send up more and more flowering shoots and then can overwhelm come Spring. Communities with access to capital do the same thing. As we know, there are droughts of both water and capital. Everything dries up. Well, at least my plants can’t hire a ‘New York lawyer’ and sue me. A recent piece in USA Today said we better get used to the heatwaves. Temperature increases and droughts will turn the West into a furnace in the coming decades. Water will have to be rationed. I won’t be using a hose. I’ll be using a tablespoon, if that. I’ll get what the lessening snowpack gives me. So I better hurry up, get things established to improve their chances, spread this little island of paradise so the hummingbirds, the bees and I can enjoy it a little longer before the curtain falls on the Final Act. Be it entropy or mortality, a little bird told me I’m running twp out of time. If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

ur notoriously dogfriendly Valley lived up to its reputation this past weekend as owners and their dogs—ranging from pink Chihuahuas to dreadlocked Komondors—came together for the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary “All About Dogs” fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will help to finance the procurement and training of a service dog for a local wounded Idaho veteran. The fundraiser featured many dog-themed local vendors, including the Animal Shelter of Wood River, Thunderpaws Pet Shoppe, Pet Grooming by Debbie, and Positive Partners Assistance Dogs. Fran Jewell, founder and executive director of Positive Partners Assistance Dogs, will be training the service dog that a lucky Idaho veteran will receive. Positive Partners Assistance Dogs is a small non-profit organization that began six years ago. Jewell trains service dogs that fall into four categories: wheelchair-assistance dogs, hearing-assistance dogs, mobility dogs who help support owners with limited mobility, and guide dogs for owners who are visually impaired. It takes a full two years to train a service dog, and Jewell says she prefers to start training as early as possible. Working closely with two participating breeders, Jewell custom trains two to three dogs per year. Training can begin when a puppy is just three to four weeks old, and by the time they are six to seven weeks, they have mastered basic obedience. In order to choose the specific puppy that will be successful as a service dog, Jewell uses a variety of temperament tests. She looks for a puppy that is confident, but not overly bold or pushy; one that is sensitive, yet not fearful. The puppy must also be physically sound, and it is therefore easier to work with purebred dogs, explains Jewell, because she is then provided with critical information about the dog’s family history. Jewell also looks for a dog that has good “drives.” The dog must be willing to work for food, but must not

have a lot of “prey drive;” a dog that is easily distracted will not be helpful in public settings. After learning basic commands, Jewell trains a dog to have “impeccable public access skills.” A dog must be able to stay calm, controlled, and be able to help his owner in any public setting. It is essential that a service dog remain in control whether it is on a plane, train, bus, in a public restroom, mall or elevator. Jewell works with the service dog training in all of these locations. Another critical part of training involves working with the future owner – something that Jewell tries to incorporate as much as possible. “Selecting a dog really depends on the person and the needs of that individual,” explains Jewell. It is very important that she trains the service dog to fit the specific lifestyle of a client. For example, one client who is deaf happened to be an active swimmer. Therefore, Jewell incorporated various swimming pool training when working with the dog. Past client Margery Friedlander’s dog Choco has been a service mobility dog for the past two years. “Choco has been fantastic,” Friedlander says with enthusiasm. Using visual signals, he will dip his head to warn if there is a curb, he picks things up on command, he helps her up stairs, and she is able to lean on him while walking. “Service dogs help to provide a better quality of life,” Jewell says. It is certainly amazing how much these dogs are able to assist their owners and, thanks to Ketchum’s American Legion Women’s Auxiliary fundraiser, a service dog will be able to help one of our own veterans acquire renewed freedom in twp his or her life.

It is wild and funny and serious and touching with great love stories and hilarious clowns,” said Director Bruce Hostetler. The play 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 realize that being in love is different than they thought,” said twp Hostetler.

Free screening of Lost Eden By KAREN BOSSICK

B

ob Poole, a Wood River Valley filmmaker, will offer a free screening of his National Geographic film, “Africa’s Lost Eden,” at 7 tonight at The Community School, 181 Dollar Road in Sun Valley. A question-and-answer session featuring Poole and Greg Carr, the Idaho resident who spearheaded the project, will follow. The film, which won the award for best documentary in the Conservation and Environmental Issue category at the International Wildlife Film Festival, tells the story of conservationists’ efforts to restore Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park. Gorongosa is known as “the place Noah left his ark” because of the density of

wildlife there. Poole, who grew up in Africa, assisted on his first National Geographic film when he was yet a teen-ager. Today he has more than 30 credits to his name with National Geographic and Discovery films, as well as several projects for PBS--in particular, its “Nature” series. He has been nominated for two Emmys for his wildlife filmmaking. Carr co-founded the telecommunications firm Boston Technology and went on to chair the Internet service provider Prodigy. Now retired, his Carr Foundation benefits such projects as the Museum of Idaho in Idaho Falls and the restoration of Gorongosa following a 15-year civil war that decimated the park’s animal population. twp

NAMI-Wood River Valley needs attention

Senator Crapo is among those wearing the NAMI banner to show his support for the drastic need for change in Idaho. During the recent NAMI National Convention in Washington, D.C., NAMI– Wood River Valley Board President Gail

Miller Wray was part of the delegation that met with Idaho Senator Mike Crapo to discuss their concerns on mental health care for Idaho citizens. Because Idaho sorely lacks adequate mental health care and, in fact, receives a grade of ‘D’ when compared to other states, the delegation stressed the importance of mental health parity, the need for adequate housing, proper care for the mentally ill in our prison system and the high suicide and post traumatic stress disorder statistics exhibited by our returning military. The National Alliance on Mental Illness is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness.

Little Clyde, big Idaho hit By KAREN BOSSICK

daho’s First Lady Lori Otter lives in her own personal Governor’s Mansion. But she hasn’t forgotten the role Sun Valley played in her life. Otter spent Saturday afternoon at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge signing copies of her new book, “Little Clyde: Horsing Around in Sun Valley.” The whimsical children’s book, illustrated by Chris Latter, follows a Clydesdale tot who finds a tourist’s suitcase filled with clothes and gear which he utilizes to go on a series of adventures from mountain biking the trails around Sun Valley to relaxing in the bubbly hot tub. Otter and co-writer Karen Day, who co-owns a Stanley hotel, got Harper Crabtree and Fern P.

We incorporated that into the book,” said Otter. Otter said she paid for college by working at the Sun Valley cafeteria and by setting up and taking down tables and whatnot for various events in Sun Valley. “I always give Wally Huffman (former general manager for the resort) a big hug and tell him, ‘Thanks for putting me through college,’ ” said Otter, who stayed in the employee dorms while working there.

tyle over substance – is it a compliment or an accusation of a lack of heart. In the new, wildly kinetic film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World it’s hard to say. Written for twentysomethings, the movie is your traditional coming of age romantic comedy but there is nothing traditional about it. Based on a comic book series by Bryan Lee O’Malley, the film is a fully amped combination of arcade video games and comic books with a healthy dash of rip roaring rock and roll thrown in for good measure. The result is as original as anything I’ve ever seen but it can overwhelm things

movie review

This week’s Horoscopes: sun entering Virgo, so begins analysis The sun enters Virgo this week, beginning a cycle of analysis. In order to understand our world and our place in it, we have to break things down and look carefully at the parts, turning them over in our minds, weighing and measuring them, and figuring out how they all fit together. A process of inventory and accounting helps us to appreciate the current state of things and to understand how we can improve upon it. ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is your nature to be kind and gracious. You certainly don’t expect thanks for this. And yet, if you are not acknowledged, you’ll get the sneaking suspicion that you are throwing your kindness into an energy-sucking void where it will disappear and make no difference in the world. Go where you are appreciated. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will strive for deeper understanding of those around you. You’ll gather subtle clues as to their personality and character. You perceptively read the hints in their clothing, gestures and handwriting. “A signature always reveals a man’s character -- and sometimes even his name.” -- Evan Esar

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be divinely guided to accomplish a goal in a completely new way. Believe in your mission, even when others find your drive and manner somewhat strange. You’ll have to explain yourself repeatedly in order to be understood. Those who finally get it will be supportive and proudly involved. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will see someone so beautiful that your heart will literally pause -- and then pitter-patter harder and faster to make up for the lost beat. When this happens, seize the moment.

making a connection, you’ll be searching for him or her in the weeks to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Here’s a strategy: Be highly enthusiastic. Take your joy over the top. Go on and on about how wonderful it is that your dreams have come true, even if this isn’t the case. Assume that it will be soon enough. The rest of the world will support you, if only because it’s not worth the effort to disillusion someone so gleeful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will utilize different tools to increase your power and influence. For instance, instead of writing an e-mail, you will find that you can communicate your requests telepathically. You mentally give clear directives to someone, and this person seems to pick up on your instructions and respond to your wishes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being a force for good is a big responsibility. But over time and with daily practice, it is suddenly effortless. It’s no longer what you do; it’s just who you are. Continue to hold yourself to high standards and you’ll lift the world around you. This week you recommit yourself to being the person you have always wanted to be. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you don’t have a lot of desire, you won’t have a lot of frustration. Maybe your frustration is a good thing -- you want a lot out of life. You could just accept that because of your ambition you will spend part of your time being perfectly, beautifully frustrated. Or you could reduce your wish list and just be happy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Progress will be thwarted for some of the week. It’s nothing you should take too personally -- you are not being picked on. Rather, the rest of the world needs time to catch up to your

ideas. During this slight pause, you’ll have time to brainstorm and dream. This is your chance to broaden the scope of your vision. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In defining the word “frailty,” the Oxford English Dictionary suggests, “All drama begins with human frailty.” Since you are trying to reduce the amount of personal drama in your life, you will spend much of this week working to strengthen your emotional core. You will face fear and conquer it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone who wants to know you will ask excellent questions. This will be your opportunity to present who you really are. Steer away from cliches, and refrain from regurgitating views that are popular. You can be you -- the true, original version. And when you are, you’re exciting and very attractive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In certain moments, it is easy for you to lose your ego and truly see the world as someone else does. This week brings opportunities to step out of yourself and suddenly acquire knowledge that you could not have found without taking the leap. You will astound those who have more conventional learning methods. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You will experience the unusual side of life this year, as you tend to attract unlikely and even supernatural occurrences. Physical energy is yours to spend over the next three weeks, and you’ll love what you can do. In October and November, you will enjoy the people and situations you encounter while studying art, religion or history. There’s a family mission to complete in December. In 2011, you’ll help a loved one with an important life transition, and in the process, you’ll transform yourself. twp

TMP to perform second time By KAREN BOSSICK

he Trey McIntyre Project returns to the Sun Valley Pavilion at 8 p.m. Friday night, marching in like a conquering hero. Two years after raising eyebrows by settling in the state known more for its famous potatoes than its culture, the innovative, contemporary ballet company has received lengthy write-ups in such publications as The New York Times. And this year’s new show has elicited rave reviews from such publications as The Boston Globe, which wrote: “Trey McIntyre has emerged over the past decade as one of the hottest choreographers in the dance world.” Even as it’s attracted national attention, the Trey McIntyre Project has only become more established in Boise where the city gave it a $25,000 economic development grant as its first cultural ambassador, local businesses give company members free MRIs and X-rays, the Idaho Stampede invites them to perform at games and Boise State University is developing an arts institute that will be anchored in part by the troupe. Perhaps most telling is how

McIntyre took part of Boise’s unique Basque culture and made it his own. The ensuing piece, “Arrantza,” will be among the dances the company will perform Friday night. The company unveiled the piece, set to a collage of Basque music and spoken word, during the Jaialdi festival that attracted sightseers from around the world a few weeks ago. And then it took it East where dancers sporting Basque berets and scarves introduced Easterners to glimpses of Basque folk dance colored by McIntyre’s touch,

which he cultivated after watching the Oinkari Basque Dancers perform at their annual Sheepherders Ball. Other new works at Friday’s performance will feature music by Queen, The Zombies, Roberta Flack, Lou Reed, The Partridge Family and Felix Mendelssohn.

nuggets...................from pg 1 W., but the jump will be visible from anywhere in Ketchum. And there will also numerous opportunities for the public to mingle with paragliders and check out the sport. More than a hundred pilots are expected to come from as far away as Russia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Colombia to compete in the championships, Pfau said. The internationals will not get bragging rights as U.S. champs, even if they best all the others. But they’re interested in checking out the site because Sun Valley is being considered as a venue for one of seven World Cup paragliding events. “Paragliding in the United States is really small compared with places like France and Switzerland,” said Pfau. “In Europe paragliding is like road biking. We don’t have a bike race the size of Tour de France and it’s the same with paragliding. Here so many people view paragliding as an extreme sport. Europeans are more accepting of paragliding, just as they’re more apt to ski off-piste.” Sunday, Aug. 29, is an official practice day. Competition begins the next day and runs through Sept. 5. Competitors will begin traveling to the top of 9,100-foot Bald Mountain about 9 a.m. each morning for a 10 a.m. pilots meeting at the Lookout Restaurant. There they will be given a task based on that day’s weather. Pilots will preload waypoints into their GPS. They will then start launching between 10:30 and 11 a.m., getting as high as they can. They will navigate as many as four waypoints enroute to the finish line with the fastest time winning. The person who flies the fastest most consistently all week wins the nationals, said Pfau. Scales will be one of the pilots to beat. He finished sixth in last year’s national championships held near Salt Lake City after making a last-day error that cost him second place. Scales, who has been paragliding for 18 years, said he wouldn’t miss this year’s championships for the world because of the camaraderie among the pilots and because of the thrill of the sport. “To put on some nylon and strings and jump off a mountain and soar through the air—it’s my favorite thing,” he said. Scales added that the second half of August provides the most consistently good weather for flying. “That’s when all the records get broken.” This will be the second time Sun Valley has hosted the championships. It hosted its first in 2006. The area is becoming as well known for its flying as its skiing, said Fly Sun Val-

Get sky-bound

Want to try paragliding for yourself? A half-hour to hour-plus flight off Baldy costs $225. Fliers should allow two hours for the entire experience, said Chuck Smith, owner of Fly Sun Valley. Fly Sun Valley flies every day, weather permitting. Most flights are conducted from early morning to mid-day and late afternoon through early evening. For more information, call 208726-3332.

YOU’RE INVITED!

The public is invited to join the paragliders over food and beer Wednesday evening, Sept. 1, at the Powerhouse Restaurant on Main Street Hailey. A barbecue and awards ceremony will also be held Sunday, Sept. 5, at the Ketchum Town Plaza across from Atkinsons’ Market. The River Run side of Baldy will serve as headquarters during the event and will feature booths and simulators, including an opportunity for spectators to sit in a harness. Atkinsons Park will serve as the registration site.

ley Owner Chuck Smith. The reason: challenging topography, consistent weather patterns, good thermals—columns of rising warming air--and the opportunity the mountain gives paragliders to gain altitude for long cross-country flights. Sun Valley also offers highspeed quads to take pilots to the launch site—something not many other paragliding areas offer. And there’s a good network of roads for pilots to return on once they’ve landed. “Baldy can be a difficult site for novice pilots—being on the edge of the mountains and desert makes flying here complex,” said Smith. “But that’s what makes it so interesting and challenging for more experienced pilots. No flight off Bald Mountain is ever the same. You can equate it to Oahu’s North Shore where the big surf draws the best surfers in the world.” Smith is predicting an uptick in number of people who want to try tandem paragliding during the championships: “Paragliders in the sky capture attention on the ground—they’re our best advertisers. People see bodies in the air and they want to do it, too.” Pfau, a carpenter, said it will be worth it if just one person tries paragliding after watching the competition: “Paragliding is the most fun a person can have without a motor. There’s nothing like climbing to 20,000 or 22,000 feet. It’s one of the purest forms twp of freedom there is.”

briefs Board restructures, eliminates position

The Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber & Visitors Bureau (SVKCVB) announced today that it is refining its program priorities in coordination with the new Sun Valley Resort Area Marketing effort. Due to a narrowed focus and downsized structure, Executive Director, Carol Waller, will be stepping down from her position. The move comes as the 450-member SVKCVB resets its priorities on events, business referrals and services, and enhancement of the visitor center. “We’ve been working to refresh our priorities with the new Marketing group, and Carol has shown exceptional professionalism and leadership in helping chart a new course for the CVB“ noted Rob Santa, Board President. Waller has been the CVB’s Executive Director since 1997 and during her tenure the SVKCVB has successfully promoted tourism and created many new events spurring community economics. “A new course is being laid to market the area and with change come new opportunities for the community and for me personally,” Waller said. “I am proud of our many accomplishments and thank the staff, the board, and countless volunteers who have made our organization highly regarded throughout Idaho and across the country.” SVKCVB Board President Rob Santa said, “We commend Carol for her work, and truly appreciate the energy and commitment she’s provided our community for 13 years.”

Old Death Whisper plays this Thursday

Music on the Square is pleased to welcome “Old Death Whisper” to the stage for the second to last summer installment of Music on the Square on Thursday, Aug. 26. Old Death Whisper (a reincarnation of Valley favorites, The Damphools) is a band of gentlemen playing and writing original country music from the banks of the Big Wood River in central Idaho. Old Death Whisper sticks to a simple philosophy; that being, the music should reflect the band’s integrity, its weaknesses and its strengths. The sound is loose and raucous with elements of the muddy Delta, the dusty Texas deserts, and the mountains of the West and the dark forests of Appalachia. Sometimes high in octane, like Jake Santee’s moonshine, Old Death Whisper feels like it could give you immortality. And then with the next song, they can drag you through the mud of some dark swamp and leave you for dead (and loving it). The live shows are full of piss and vinegar and guaranteed to get you and your partner dancing. Rockers, kickers, cowboy angels, old-timers, greasers and punks alike will enjoy Old Death Whisper and their brand of rural junkyard folk and cutthroat honky-tonk. The Thursday night “Music on the Square” concerts run from 6 to 8 p.m. and are free to the public and are brought to you by the City of Ketchum, The Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber & Visitors Bureau and Hayden Beverage. Picnics are encouraged.

Lifts remain open

Sun Valley Resort will extend summer lift operations with lift service continuing on weekends following Labor Day, September 6. The Roundhouse Gondola will continue to operate on weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the last ride down at 4:30 p.m. The Roundhouse Restaurant will offer weekend sit-down lunch service from 11 a.m., to 3 p.m. Summer lift tickets will be reduced beginning Saturday, September 11, with adult tickets at $15, teens at $13 and youth at $8. This pricing will be in effect through closing of Baldy’s summer season. Lift access on the Christmas lift will remain open through Labor Day as regularly scheduled.

Project returns to lead dance class By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he dancers were stunning in their masks and white gloves as they moved around the stage of the Sun Valley Pavilion performing funky moves to music by a New Orleans band. But it was the imagery of a different sort that will stick with Wood River Valley students like Alexandra Haupt, Dylan Peterson and Britta Gaeddert. The three were among a handful of students from Footlight Dance Centre and the Sun Valley Ballet School who were invited to join the professional dance company from Boise last summer in a dance class. They grimaced as McIntyre urged them and the others to dig down deeper than they’d ever gone before, their muscles straining in ways they’d never been challenged. Then they watched as the dancers rehearsed for their performance at the Pavilion, alternating between graceful moves that sliced through the air and quick choppy raw moves more reminiscent of the Keystone Kops. “I was in awe,” said Alexandra Haupt. “Their extension, their strength—they’re superhumans.” The Trey McIntyre Project offered several such opportunities to Wood River Valley residents during the week it spent in Sun Valley last year. Dancers staged impromptu performances in the streets, performing bit pieces outside the grocery store and coffee shops. They staged a class for two dozen of the valley’s more advanced dancers, in addition to the class the girls took part in. And they held a free noon-hour movement workshop on the Sun Valley Pavilion stage open to all comers, whether or not they had dance experience. This year the dance company will hold a Master Class for intermediate and advanced ballet and lyrical dancers on Thursday through the Sun Valley Ballet School. Sixteen local dancers will be extras in the company’s performance Friday evening, getting the opportunity to be involved in rehearsals and watch the professionals go through their pre-production preparations.. “We like to give the communities we perform in a better sense of art in the process,” said dancer John Michael Schert, executive director of the group. “We think they get a better understanding and appreciation of what we do that way.” Some of those who took part in the movement workshop on the Pavilion stage last year gritted their tongue, holding their

breath as they performed the moves; others appeared to be at ease. “Something so simple as pointing your toe out becomes something like this,” dance instructor Jason Hartley said, striking his pointed toe on the floor. “Then it becomes something like this and this,” he said, adding to the initial move until he was leaping in the air. The number of people watching the creative movement workshop matched the 30 or so dancers on stage. Among them was Shelley Coben, who was watching for her daughter Faith, a longtime dance student studying at college in Eugene, Ore. “They always teach you to learn from the best,” said Coben. “You repeat those movements over and over and then your body programs itself to move at its peak efficiency.” Footlight Dance Centre Director Hilarie Neely, herself a former professional dancer, said the experience of working with the Project was one her students would never forget. “They see what they’re working for and how much harder they have to work to come up to that level,” she said. “It’s inspiring because now they see what hard work can lead to.” twp

John Denver tribute concert

T

here’s a problem with sounding just like John Denver. Record by: Karen companies Bossick like RCA shy away from giving you a recording contract. Jim Salestrom’s audiences don’t care. Closing their eyes they hear the clear pure sounds of John Denver singing “Take Me Home Country Roads.� “Everybody loved John so much,� said Salestrom, an Emmy Award-winning songwriter who toured with Denver, as well as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. “I loved John and his music because he was trying to build bridges with his music when a lot of people were tearing them down.� Salestrom and other members of John Denver’s band will pay a tribute to their friend at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Sun Valley Pavilion. The band includes such performers as Bill Danoff, who wrote “Take Me Home Country Roads,� “Afternoon Delight,� “I Guess He’d Rather Be in Colorado� and “Friends With You;� Jim Horn, who has been on tour with country music singer Kenny Chesney; Denny Brooks, who played with Denver as far back as 1964, serving as Denver’s double when Denver’s voice was rusty from 1976 to 1986, and John Sommers, who wrote “Thank God I’m a Country Boy!� They’ll recall stories and offer up humorous anecdotes but mostly they’ll let Denver’s music do the talking. “It’s a rare privilege to sing the music of someone who has touched the hearts of all who have heard his music,� said Salestrom. “So many people remember exactly where they were the first time they heard “Take Me Home Country Roads.� Or, “Rocky Mountain High.� Salestrom, who now lives in Colorado, was a 16-year-old setting up microphone stands for a John Denver concert at Red Rocks when he felt a tap on his shoulder. “Can I help you?� a voice behind him asked. “No this is John Denver’s stuff and this is my job. I’ve got it covered,� Salestrom replied. Salestrom heard a raucous laugh and sheepishly realized that it was Denver. Denver went on to play “Rocky Mountain High� for the stage crew that afternoon and then debuted it for the public that night under a full moon. When Denver died in a plane crash, his friends started talking about keeping his music alive with a tribute band. They started out performing Denver’s music a dozen times a year at places like Pebble Creek and Breckinridge. Now they perform about six times a year,

usually for charity events such as Challenge Aspen, a ski camp for children with disabilities. And Salestrom sang “Rocky Mountain High� on behalf of his late friend for the Colorado State Legislature when Colorado made it the official state song in 2007. “It’s a bittersweet thing to sing lead with all these people who played with him,� said Salestrom who sang the opening song for the movie “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas� and has recorded several of his

own albums, including one titled “Music From the Mountains.� “But it’s fun to revisit all of John’s songs. I just wish he’d come around the curtain and say, ‘What the heck are you all doing?’ � Denver, who would have been 66, played the Boise State University Pavilion—now the Taco Bell Arena—a handful of times, singing each time until he was physically drained. And then he’d invite a reporter back to the Green Room to talk about his plans for flying to the moon or building peace with Russia while he polished off a post-concert salmon dinner. Sometimes, he’d even call the newsroom the next morning to expound on what he’d talked about the night before. Salestrom said that was the John Denver he knew—almost passionate, always giving his all. “He had the ability to break down the invisible wall between audience and stage, making each person in the audience feel as if he was singing to them alone. That’s when he blew us away— one guitar, one voice, one song, 20,000 people—and you could twp hear a pin drop.�

ell, to begin with, not picking up after Fido is against the law. Blaine County Animal Code 4-4-3 states that pet owners must clean up after their pets. If you need some other reasons, here are several: Apart from being a nuisance that can ruin a nice hike, dog waste contains fecal coliform, salmonella, strep and giardia, all of which can cause disease in humans and pollute our pristine rivers and streams. What some believe is just “fertilizer� is actually an offensive pollutant that we need to keep off the trails and out of our water. It is also disgusting to find it on our front yards, and on our snow. Most of our furry friends relieve themselves within the first 50 yards

of leaping out of the car. Keep an eye out for your pet, grab a bag, scoop that poop and help keep our trails clean. The Environmental Resource Center has partnered with several other organizations to establish dog waste collection bins for your convenience and to protect our waters. Since piloting this effort in 2004, it has grown to include some 27 sites spread over 30 miles from Galena to Bellevue. Thanks to your help, this effort has significantly improved the condition of our trails. Keep up the good work!

Idaho Mountain Builders launched its proprietary HOME PERFORMANCE system™, designed to improve energy efficiency, sustainability and home value. IMB Co-founders Tim Carter and Joe Marx are ENERGY STAR-certified builders, members of the U.S. Green Building Council, and are appointees on the BuildSmart Technical Advisory Committee providing green building recommendations to Blaine County Commissioners.

Up in Smoke

Valley residents may have noticed large amounts of smoke throughout the day on Sunday. That is because the Valley lies in the direct path of the smoke coming from the Long Butte Fire, southwest of here, that was sparked by lightning Saturday afternoon and that has now scorched more than 300,000 acres west of Hagerman, Idaho. On Sunday, air tankers and helicopters dropped retardant and water on the blaze as engine and dozer crews worked on the ground to keep the fire away from private structures. Rural fire departments provided structure protection near Bell Rapids and Hagerman.

Paulson visits Former Treasury Secretary talks about economic patching at conference By KAREN BOSSICK

F

ormer U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. asked Congress for what he called “a bazooka” to deal with the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. But Paulson told nearly 1,500 people Sunday night at the Sun Valley Writers Conference that he sometimes felt as if he were using duct tape and bailing wire to try to stop the bleeding. Paulson said the mess became big enough that he eventually used that bazooka, in essence nationalizing Fannie and Freddie Mac. “Trouble was, that bazooka wasn’t big enough,” he added. Paulson offered a look at relations between the United States and China on Saturday. Then on Sunday he turned his attention to the Great Recession, which he wrote about in his memoir, “On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System.” Paulson said he accepted President Bush’s invitation to be Treasury Secretary, even though, both his wife and mother were against it--“My mother broke down in tears—she was no fan of George Bush’s.” He said he warned the president of the pending financial crisis during his first economic meeting at Camp David. And he started work immediately on regulatory reform and building relations between Bush and Congress. But it was too little too late, in part because of the housing crisis that he failed to anticipate

and because Congress was so slow to act. “Even after the crisis hit, it took Fannie and Freddie on the verge of melting down to get the authority to do what I wanted to do,” he said. Many House Republicans had strong ideologies that prevented them voting for the bailout. “They’d say, ‘I’ll pray for you.’ I’d say, ‘Thank you, but I’d like your vote,’ ” Paulson recalled. There was no legal way to save Lehman Brothers, Paulson said. “We’re probably fortunate Bank of America didn’t step in to buy Lehman Brothers because later they bailed out Merrill Lynch, which would have been an even bigger loss,” he said. Former World Bank economist Liaquat Ahamed, winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for his “Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World,” said Paulson’s $700 million bailout was “one of the most effective uses of public money in history as it helped prevent a widening of the crisis.” And the money was paid back with interest, he noted. But Paulson noted that twice as many Americans--himself included—hated the bailout, compared with the number opposing torture. “I’m not a great communicator,” he said. “We had failure of communication issues. I was never successful in convincing the American people what we did was successful in preventing economic Armageddon.” Though Bush was criticized for appearing to be disengaged, he was a quick study and willing to do what was needed, Paulson said. “He certainly didn’t want to spend his last days in the office doing bailout. He believes in free market,” he said. “But he encouraged me to build bipartisan relations. He mothered me, told me to get exercise, straightened my tie. He was a great support.” twp

The Expedition Inspiration Fund For Breast Cancer Research is pleased to announce that the first Sawtooth Adventure-Elephant’s Perch Climb and Take-A-Hike on Saturday, August 14, was a fun and successful event. This year’s team of six climbed a non-technical but very strenuous route of the Elephant’s Perch with a 2,400 vertical gain. The team was led by Sawtooth Mountain Guides and enjoyed a celebration dinner at the world-famous Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch. A more relaxed group of 40 was also hiking on Saturday morning up to Fishhook Creek. The hikers, who had staggered start times, enjoyed the scenic beauty along the five-mile trail. Lunch was provided by Redfish Lake Lodge on the beach. These active adventures are structured to empower and promote the health and well-being of all who participate. Participants helped the cause by raising funds above and beyond the cost of the adventure to fund cutting-

The boy soldiers were given “pep pills” of cocaine, heroin and gunpowder and taught that violence was the way to show loyalty and attain food and shelter.

But Beah showed he hadn’t lost his humor, recounting the first salad he ever ate as he flew to the United States. “I thought: Why would people want to eat grass?” he said. “I came to America with all my belongings,” he added, recounting his bag that contained two pants, a shirt and underwear. “And they lost my bag.” Ketchum resident Doug Christensen said the conference had inspired him to finish the five unfinished books setting on his dresser at home.

Sun Valley Ballet School has a new season afoot The Sun Valley Ballet School (SVBS) offers Creative Movement for the very young—3-year-olds. Ballet is offered for 4-year-olds through adult. Hiphop is offered this year in both Ketchum and Hailey for those in grades 3-5. New this year for the middle school and high school dancers are two classes for those that wish to dance outside the ballet box. Mixed rep (all forms of jazz from lyrical to hiphop) and jazz/ lyrical (faster, lively jazz to slower, ballet-based lyrical) are offered in our Hailey studio.

This year for the annual December full-length ballet, the SVBS will revisit the traditional classic, “The Nutcracker.” All SVBS ballet dancers will perform in this event. This year’s professional guest performer will be Peter Kozak, currently a principal dancer with the Chicago-based Joffrey Ballet. Mr. Kozak will perform with the SVBS principal dancers and corps. In his earlier dance career, Mr. Kozak danced for the Columbia City Ballet with the SVBS’s own artistic director, Miss Sherry Horton. It’s an incredible treat

to have Mr. Kozak lend his extensive experience and charisma to Sun Valley for this wonderful performance. For complete class schedule, or more info, visit their web site: http:// sunvalleyballet.com/ or call the SVBS office at 726-9876.

“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.� –Nelson Mandela

for better or worse ............................................ from pg 1 typically leads to higher taxes, decreased spending, higher interest rates, and reduced money supply. These formulas were overlooked in the recent past. Loose fiscal and monetary policy (tax cuts, heavy spending, low interest rates, expanded money supply, and deregulation) led to a massive budget deficit in boom times when there should, in fact, have been a budget surplus. Where we are now: Our economy has been, on average, stagnant since 2006. Things are improving, however. In 2009, the U.S. had one full year of moderate and sustainable economic growth at 3.2%. This should continue for two-three years, give or take a bit with both the rate and the time frame. Consumer spending, the savings rate, and business investment have picked up. Exports are solid, the trade gap has narrowed, inventories are being rebuilt, and profitability has returned to the scene. Corporate balance sheets are strong. Workers are being rehired. On the other hand, our recovery is the slowest we’ve had since World War II. Bank failures continue. Banks that are viable are rebuilding capital but not lending; their standards may not relax for another 12-18 months. The housing sector remains severely constrained. State and local governments are challenged. Corporations and small businesses are edgy about fully rehiring and investing beyond meeting their most pressing needs. Unemployment remains

high. Global trading partners are practicing austerity. Nor have the financial sector’s liabilities been adequately addressed to ensure that this situation won’t repeat itself. The stimulus averted a second depression, helped build confidence, and enabled a degree of recovery, although nothing close to what was hoped. It cost a lot, but not nearly as much as if nothing had been done. While some of the money could have been spent in more productive ways, rebuilding infrastructure and supporting states and localities was on target. The recovery is already decelerating, however; in five years the deficit will begin to rise again. What we can expect: Growth’s new normal will be 2-2.5% per year. There will be a new age of thrift due to the loss of consumer wealth. Baby boomers especially will shift from consumption to savings. We will look past housing to other parts of the economy for growth. A jobless recovery will be understood as the natural result of a technology- and information-based society. Global growth could be a stimulus for U.S. growth and will be accompanied by a balancing of global wealth. In Part II, we will look at what the experts suggest for U.S. twp economic policy.

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR AugusT 25, 2010 • By: Jim sAnTA

T

he word for the day is “presentation”. No matter your choice of water, time of day or fly selection, presentation will be your most important factor when it comes to success on the river. At this point in the season these fish have seen a lot of poorly presented flies and have become less forgiving of a sloppy cast or dragging drift. At least that’s true of the bigger fish. Time of day is also pretty critical now with the lower, clearer water of mid-summer combined with high, bright sunshine. The lower light hours of morning and evening will provide your best action. Fish will be holding in faster, deeper riffles and in the shade near banks, logs and overhanging branches. As dusk approaches they may move into a bit more open water, but target the banks during daylight. On the Big Wood right now it’s pretty easy to catch good numbers of fish. Finding the bigger fish will be a little more challenging. The keys will be; first be at the proper time of day. I’m suggesting mid morning into early afternoon, and evenings after the sun is off the water. Next; look for the faster, deeper riffles, little pockets along the banks next to faster water, near wood obstructions, and under overhanging branches. Where it looks near impossible to get your fly, that’s where the big fish will be. Cover lots of water to search out these spots. Finally, make your first cast in a likely spot count. The first cast is your best opportunity to bring up fish. A poor presentation in a likely spot will put a wary fish down on the bottom for good. There are not a lot of strong hatches now, but we are beginning to see some tricos and baetis appearing, look for these as the morning begins to warm. Other than tricos, I would suggest throwing some basic attractor patterns. Hoppers, para wulffs and adams with or without trailing nymphs and a variety of caddis patterns for later evening. On Silver Creek presentation is always critical and especially so now with the fish having seen a lot of fishermen and flies recently. Longer leaders (10’+) with drag free downstream presentations will be required when fishing “the creek’s” great mayfly hatches. The exception to this will be later in the day when the wind blows and terrestrials come into play. A splashing hopper next to the bank may be the trigger to a strike at this time. Remember when fishing hoppers to be patient and let the fish actually eat the bug. Often times they may bump it with their nose before actually opening their mouth to eat it. Tricos continue on the creek, but are beginning to wane a bit. This generally means baetis becoming the more predominant hatch. Callibaetis will be present in the slower water sections and sloughs. If you’re heading for the creek, bring a good selection of trico, baetis and callibaetis, supplemented by terrestrials and bring your “A” game. Over the hill, The Upper Big Lost and Copper Basin waters are fishing well. Take your Big Wood game and fly patterns and do some exploring. Covering water in this area is the most fun (as-well-as productive) ways to fish. The Lower Lost is getting down to a more reasonable wading level and will continue to drop as we get towards fall. All-in-all the water conditions are holding up quite nicely and fishing has been pretty darn good for mid-summer. So get out and enjoy some time on the rivers and remember, presentation, presentation, presentation…

Loving yourself

L

oving yourself is the key element to creating the physical and emotional well-being we all desire. Loving yourself also makes space for each of us to bring forth the financial abundance, health, and loving relationships that make life a rich, wonderful experience. If you are not loving yourself, you are vibrating at a low frequency. The Law of Attraction sends you situations that have the same energy as the vibration that you are putting out. So if you are not loving yourself, you are attracting people and events which mirror that same attitude. What are the reasons you are unable to love yourself? Most of us can readily list numerous reasons for not loving ourselves, but find it difficult, if not impossible, to claim the qualities about ourselves that we do love. Many people have difficulty even knowing what their passion is. If asked to name ten things that fill your soul, would you be able to do so? Putting yourself as a priority rather than in last place is essential to begin trusting yourself to create your highest good. This may seem like a selfish attitude, but you truly have no ability to love others until you love yourself first. When you do this, you cease being a victim of your

briefs Car wash for Fuel

The Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood’s (PCBW) youth group, Fuel, just returned from a mission trip to Portland, Ore., and, are already planning a bigger and better mission for next summer to Zambia, Africa. The youth group will be fundraising for the next ten months to try to offset most of the $4,000 per student expenses. This coming Saturday, Aug. 28 the group will be at Wood River Motors washing cars for donations, from 11 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m. After the group staged their first car wash a couple of Saturdays ago, they learned a lot about what will be needed to impress their customers. Bug remover, road and tar remover, and glass cleaner will now be available. Stop by Wood River Motors in Hailey this Saturday, opposite the McDonalds and support their mission trip ambitions.

Art House 2010 this weekend in Hailey

Once a year, a local Hailey home is transformed into an art gallery space to rival many of New York’s top spaces. Owned by Jenn and Richard Rush, prominent actors in Hailey’s Company of Fools, and ex-New Yorkers themselves, their modern home is emptied out of every single piece of furniture to host Art House Hailey’s unique annual art happening. Now in its fourth year, Art House has proven to be one of the most popular art events held in Hailey each summer. Last year the event attracted more participating artists and sales; with in excess of 700 visitors attending and over 50 works of art selling.

The Art House is located at 203 West Croy Street in Hailey. Please contact Jenn Rush for further details: 788.8795 or jjrrnyc@aol.com.

life and start to live the life you desire, not a life by default. Lack of self-love, negativity and fear reduce your vibration to a state of having “less than” all you desire: health, love, joy, and abundance. Start each day with an attitude of gratitude for all the good things in your life, beginning with yourself. If you can’t think of anything, be grateful for this beautiful Valley in which you live. When you are grateful, you change your vibration, allowing more of what you desire to be attracted into your life. twp

the

on and Laurie Schoendorfer were vacationing in Morocco when they witnessed a disabled woman struggling to drag herself across a dirt road. They didn’t take a picture. But they couldn’t erase the scene from their minds. Don, a mechanical engineer, came home from vacation and went straight to his basement where he developed a durable yet inexpensive wheelchair using a resin lawn chair. And eventually he walked away from a successful career to found Free Wheelchair Mission, a non-profit organization that has distributed more than a half-million of those wheelchairs to 77 countries. Schoendorfer’s non-profit organization will have a showand-tell about its chair at 9:30 a.m. Sunday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood, Warm Springs and Saddle roads. The chairs, which cost $59.20 to manufacture ship and distribute, are distributed to beneficiaries free of charge. They mean their recipients no longer have to crawl on the ground, subjecting themselves to dangerous unsanitary conditions. Nor do they have to spend their lives in isolation, confined to a room and dependent on family members to meet their basic needs, said Church Pastor Bob Henley. The presentation will be paired with music from 12 members of New Heart Christian Ministries in Boise. New Heart Christian Ministries is a fairly new church of about 200 members who come from a variety of nations, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo Brazzaville, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya, Togo, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Haiti, Liberia and the Bahamas. The group will share music in English, Swahili, and French. The presentation will be followed by the annual church picnic on the lawn by the Big Wood River. twp

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I need the scoop on this real estate "open house" thing. I've already advertised FSBO in my newspaper one week in advance, plastered the neighborhood with signs and told everyone I know that I am trying to sell my house. I know there has to be more that real estate agents do to earn their commission, but what? My limited creativity has been tapped. So unless you give me some ideas, I'm just going to swing open the front doors, put on my most dapper smile, and hope for the best on selling my home.

Cash: Your great atti-

tude should make for a good open house. You don't find too many people with a "dapper" smile these days. Carry: Although as a FSBO (For Sale By Owner), you have your work cut out for you. Real estate agents usually handle much of the work involved in selling a home, thus earning their commissions. Cash: It sounds like you have a good start on advertising. The more you can get the word out, the better. Typically, real estate agents list a home in their multiple listing service to inform other

Fast Facts Straight A's

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 08/22/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®

agents of the house. Carry: Since you are selling FSBO, you will have to be more creative in your approaches. Telling everyone you know is a good start, but go a step further. Send announcements on the open house to everyone in your neighborhood. They may know of friends or relatives who are in the market for a new home. Cash: Showing your home can be a bit tricky. You should think about having a third party at the open house. The owners of a house sometimes intimidate buyers. Real estate agents, for example, act as a buffer allowing potential buyers to talk freely about the house. Carry: Consider asking a

friend to show the house while you greet people at the door or answer questions. Cash: And treat the rest of the family to a movie or other event for the day. It doesn't help to have children running around and screaming while you show the house. Carry: Have a flyer with a picture, a description of the home and your contact information. Visitors can take it with them to remind them of the house or pass on to others. Cash: Finally, be prepared early. If you planned on starting at 2 pm, be ready at noon. People love to show up early. The last thing you need is someone showing up while you're cleaning the bathroom.

Do your homework. FSBO's account for about 9% of the homes sold on the market today. But many of these homeowners struggle with parts of the sale. According to a survey by the Association of Realtors, handling the paperwork was found to be the most difficult task of the sale. Preparing the house for sale ranked second. So before you venture into a FSBO, talk with an attorney about closing the deal and leave enough time to get your house in order. After all, doing your homework can result in a better grade.

Cordially Invited

Invitations are for more than just weddings. Whether you plan to sell your home on your own or through a real estate agent, send an open house invitation to all the neighbors in your area. Since home sales often come from word of mouth, it can be of great benefit to use your neighbors as additional sales people. Since many neighbors often like to see how their house compares, the open house should be well attended. •

Reader Humor Welcome Wagon We lived in the same house for ten years and never really met any of our neighbors. A few months ago we put our house on the market. But after accessing the market, we decided to stay and took down the "for sale" sign. The next Saturday there was a knock at our door. My husband answered it and returned holding a big fruit basket. When I asked him who was at the door, he told me it was the neighbors welcoming us to the neighborhood. "Did you tell them we've been living here for ten years," I asked surprisingly. "I was going to," he grinned, "but this is a really nice basket." (Thanks to Alvin B.)

Plein Air paint out at Redfish Fairfield resident lends hand for town clean-up By KAREN BOSSICK

T

wenty Idaho artists will celebrate their Seventh Annual Paint Out at Redfish Lake near Stanley Monday through Thursday, Sept. 2. The public is invited to watch the painters as they work at various sites around the lake. The Paint Out will culminate with a sale, reception and wine tasting at 5 p.m. Sept. 2 outside the Lodge. Hailey guitar player and singer Rick Hoel will provide music. 3 Horse Ranch Vineyards will provide the wine. “There’s a long tradition of Hailey artist Karen Jacobsen painted this portrait of a Redfish plein air painting where paint- morning on site. COURTESY ART ers go out of their studio into the world outside and paint what they see,” said Hailey artist Karen Jacobsen. “They generally paint their first impressions and the paintings are meant to be done in a day.” Jacobsen added that the painters, who often work as if they were in solitary confinement, love getting out and about as they work. “Painters love the camaraderie of other painters around. And we love talking about our art with the public and, of course, selling it,” she said. Maps showing where painters will be each day will be provided at a tent set up outside the Lodge. Free artist demonstrations will also be offered daily inside the tent. For more information, go to www.PleinAirPaintersOfIdaho.org, or call Jineen twp Griffith at 208-726-3656 or Redfish Lake Lodge at 208-774-3536.

ecently, the City of Fairfield was able to dispose of one of the town’s largest eyesores: a large, blue dilapidated trailer. The trailer had been left abandoned in the town and was quickly falling into disrepair. Due to the climate and harsh winters, trailers are easily prone to collapsing if they are left neglected. After the city contacted the owner, it became apparent that the trailer was not going to be used any time in the future, and a local town resident who specializes in recycling building materials, volunteered to take down the trailer at no cost to the city. The volunteer was “very thoughtful in taking apart the trailer and recycling the frame,” says the Fairfield city clerk. Single-handedly, the volunteer took apart the trailer and was able to recycle the majority of the aluminum. In the future, the city plans on collaborating to remove and recycle other broken-down structures. twp
