Designers Light it Up! PHOTOS & STORY By KAREN BOSSICK

Left: Michael Kimmel tests a light at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Below: Lisa Weinshrott sits at the light board. he violinists had scarcely finished drawing their bows across their strings in the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s final performance before Michael Kimmel and his wife Lisa Weinshrott went into action. They shuffled some 150 lights around until nearly 3 in the morning. Then they returned early the next morning to test each light and cover them with blue, orange, red and purple-colored filters to provide lots of flash and “eye candy� for the Huey Lewis and the News concert that evening. Kimmel and Weinshrott set the mood for the Pavilion with their lights. You notice it when the lights are flashing all over the place at a rock concert. You don’t notice it so much at tamer events like the Sun Valley Writers Conference. But, without their touch, you might not be able to see the artists on stage. “People would blend in. The audience wouldn’t know where to look,� said Weinshrott. Kimmel and Weinshrott are, they believe, one of few husbandwife teams in professional lighting in America. Their mailing address ends in a New Jersey zip code. But they spend more time in Sun Valley than anywhere else, arriving in May and remaining through the Sept. 9 Lee Ann Womack concert. The other months of the year you can find them anywhere from the Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas cruise ship where Weinshrott helped program stage lighting for the Aqua Theater dive show to Michigan where they provided the lighting for a high school production of “The Phantom of the Opera� that Kimmel said was as grandiose as any high caliber professional theatre. The two met while working a summer theater in Pennsylvania in 2001 but didn’t marry until 2009 because they couldn’t find the time. Even then they worked until midnight the eve of their wedding day, caught a plane at 7 a.m. and married on a cruise ship before holding a reception later at Weinshrott’s childhood making the audience feel like they’re somewhere else when we’re home in Wisconsin. lighting weddings,� she said. “I love taking an empty tent or Working as a team (their website is www.sharpedgelighting. ballroom and creating it into a theme that a bride is envisioncom) often means getting one paycheck for a job that they both ing.� do.

n the morning of the Big Hitch Parade, Nina Fox armed herself with her favorite camera—a Canon 1D Mark IV digital camera—and headed to the Sun Valley Horseman’s Center to take a few photographs of people primping their horses. But her eye landed not on a vintage wagon or a horse. Nina Fox Instead, it landed on Ivan Swaner, a native Wood River Valley resident who has become an icon in the valley with his turned-up handlebar mustache and weathered cowboy hat. A couple clicks of the camera and 12 months later Swaner graces the 2011 commemorate Wagon Days poster. Fox, who lives in Hulen Meadows, said she wasn’t sure if a picture of a person was fair game, given the fact that the poster usually sports the Big Hitch ore wagons and parade animals. “But him being a local historian who’s so committed to Wagon Days, I thought, ‘Whoa!’ � she said. “He has such a distinguished look. He epitomizes Wagon Days.� Fox took a photography class in her teens and found it to be magical. “I just could not believe you could go to school and learn how to click a camera and capture these images, then develop them in a dark room so you could relive the moment.,� said the Pacific Palisades native. Fox laid down her camera while she and her husband raised two daughters in Hawaii. But she picked it up again nine years ago when the family moved to Sun Valley, where Fox had spent every summer growing up with her grandparents. She began zeroing in on her daughters Delaney and Sierra as they took up track, soccer and alpine racing. “It’s an incredible journey to be behind the lens. Because of my long lens, I get to see things people don’t see with naked eye. Looking through that little hole I get up close and personal with subject matter witnessing tears of joy, eyes of victory,� she said. As the girls began moving away, Fox turned her camera on the

Caritas Presents A Night in Old Vienna By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he graceful gliding and twirling of the waltz will pervade the Valley Club on Sunday, Sept. 11, when the Caritas Chorale presents “A Night in Old Vienna.” “It’ll be a lovely evening of Viennese music that we’ll be singing. And there will be a small orchestra for dancing and waltzing, along with a lovely Austrian-like meal of beef with mushroom glaze and sachertorte,” said Sharon Bockemohle, who is helping to organize the evening. This may be the first ballroom waltz affair ever held in Sun Valley—at least, that anyone can remember. It’s the brainchild of Chorale Director Dick Brown who’s always looking for a different twist to raise funds for the chorale’s sheet music and orchestra musicians. “I visited Prague and Krakow last summer and it was such good music. There will be a lot of great tunes that we all know. And it will be a lot of fun to dress up and sing things that are different for us,” he said. The waltz seems pretty tame to today’s society. But, that wasn’t the case in the 19th century. The contemporaries of the first waltzes were used to hopping their way through beer garden polkas and flitting through stand-offish minuets in which one kept one’s distance. They were shocked at the “eroticism” of a dance in which “a lady clung to her partner, closed her eyes as in a happy dream and glided off as if the world had disappeared,” said Austrian music scholar Max Graf. But the new craze reached epidemic proportions among young people along the Danube River. And today Vienna continues to be the ball capital of the world, hosting more than 200 major balls a year, including the café owners ball, the hunter’s ball and the AIDS charity ball. Many begin at 9 p.m. and last until 5 a.m., offering as many as nine live orchestras. The one at the Valley Club promises to last at least through 9 p.m. It’ll kick off at 5:30 p.m. with wine and hors d’oeuvres. The 75-voice Caritas Chorale will sing a couple numbers outside on the patio, including “The Merry Widow Waltz,” and Johann Strauss’ “Die Fledermaus,” which Bockemohle describes as “a hoot.”

“There will be a lot of great tunes that we all know. And it will be a lot of fun to dress up and sing things that are different for us.” –Dick Brown Caritas Chorale Director

The choir will sing “Blue Danube” and other tunes again following dinner, while the fivemember orchestra provides waltz and polka music for dancing. There also will be a raffle good for seven prizes, including a handmade quilt, watercolor painting, a visit to a mountain bike training camp and sojourns in Buenos Aires, Hawaii, San Francisco and Stanley. Partygoers are invited to “dress to the nines” in tuxedos and ball gowns. Or, they can come dressed in more casual clothing, Brown said. Brown said the upcoming season will be the Chorale’s most ambitious ever as it premiere’s a commissioned work on the Nez Perce for the tribe in northern Idaho before presenting it again in Sun Valley. The music was written by Boise composer David Alan Earnest and the libretto by Diane Josephy Peavey. “It’s very emotional, very moving,” Brown said. “I’ve always been a history fanatic and when we did the piece on Lewis and Clark I knew the story was not complete. Lewis and Clark came and left having made promises to the Native American and a lot of promises were not kept. And that side of the story needed to be told.” Tickets to “A Night in old Vienna” are $150 per person-$100 of which is tax deductible. Raffle tickets are $25 each. For reservations or information, call Ann Taylor at 726-5402 or email annstaylor@cox.net

his past Sunday evening, a group of local residents gathered at the Hailey Yoga Center to hear humanitarian Swami Pragyapad speak and lead an introductory workshop. Pragyapad is the International Director for the Art of Living Foundation, and he travels all over the world to teach workshops and to volunteer in violent and disaster-ridden areas. Nestled in an oversized white chair overlooking a group of eager pupils, Pragyapad began by discussing how our common goal in life is to achieve happiness. “It is our nature to think that if we solve all our outside problems, then we will be happy. This is how everyone thinks,” Pragyapad says. “Yet, you cannot sustain happiness this way. It is like telling a doctor ‘I will start taking my medicine after I am better.’ ” Why not work on achieving personal happiness first, and then, use this inner calm to solve problems? “It is much easier this way, I promise,” assures Pragyapad with a smile. The Art of Living Foundation strives to create a violence-free society by teaching techniques to reduce stress and violence to achieve inner calm. In addition to working with displaced victims of natural disasters worldwide, their volunteers have also hosted workshops in many schools across the United States, helping to decrease detention rates, crime, and encourage children to talk about their problems rather than get angry. “Stress leads to anger which leads to violence,” reasons Pragyapad. “With a calm mind there is no violence.” After speaking about the importance of a calm mind to obtain happiness, Pragyapad led the group through “chair yoga,” a series of exercises that could all be done while sitting in a chair. With our blood flowing and our mind relaxed, Pragyapad then discussed the importance of breath and led a meditation exercise. “There are many types of breath related to mental states,” he explained. “There is breath of happiness,

breath when we are angry or stressed and the breath of relief when we sit down on the couch after a busy day: ‘ahhhh.’ ” To show the importance of being able to control these types of breaths, Pragyapad created an analogy between our mind and how a car works. “Brakes decide the speed of a car. How fast you can go is determined by how good your brakes are.” As life moves faster, we are prone to mental accidents such as anger, stress, or anxiety. Pragyapad teaches how breathing and meditation can strengthen our mental brakes and help us find a way through stressful situations. Pragyapad had the group close our eyes as he guided us through a short meditation. When we opened our eyes, however, he informed us that we had been meditating for twenty-two minutes. I can’t remember the last time that I had sat and done absolutely nothing for that amount of time. “Twenty minutes of meditation is equivalent to four hours of mental rest,” Pragyapad said joyfully. “You never thought being happy could be so easy!” The Art of Living Foundation will be teaching a four day course September 8-11 which will focus on breathing techniques, interactive exercises, yoga and meditation.

Architectural expert Aaron Betsky will trace the emergence of space in modernism, and will show how it continues to be one of our highest, and most elusive, ideals in a free lecture titled “The Importance of Nothing: Space and Minimalism in Modernism” at 6 p.m. Thursday at The community Library in Ketchum. Betsky contends that nothing is the most valuable thing in our society. Space, that indefinable void, has a huge value, he adds, pointing out that you want as many square feet as possible in your house, and some are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a few inches more of it on an airplane. When the middle class first came to power during the industrial revolution, they had to make a place for themselves, as they were making their own world, based on commerce and industry, and separate from the land. This artificial environment became the modern city and later sprawl, and it converted place into space. The style that represents and tries to discipline that space is what we all modernism. This program is a part of How Much Less Is More project on Minimalism in collaboration with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.

The Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus will hold its first rehearsal of the fall season at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum.

Meet the Peaks

Comment sought The Sawtooth National Forest is seeking to inform the public and solicit comments regarding a proposal by Redfish Lake Lodge, LLC, to replace the existing convenience store with a new building incorporating both the store and eight new lodge rooms. This new building would be located between the new public restroom building and the existing historic lodge. The proposal provides for vehicle parking between the new convenience store/lodging and the Point Campground Road (Forest Service Road 213). Vehicle routes and parking along the lakefront and beside the lodge would be converted to grass lawn. The new store building would physically separate vehicle traffic from the historic lodge and lakeshore, creating a more tranquil, pedestrianfriendly lakefront setting. Comments related to the store replacement and vehicle traffic pattern proposal will be most helpful if received on or before Sept. 10. Send your comments to Dave Fluetsch at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, 5 North Fork Canyon Road, Ketchum, ID 83340, or by e-mail to: <comments-intermtn-sawtooth-nra@ fs.fed.us>. Info: contact Dave Fluetsch at (208) 727-5000. Comments received in response to this proposal, including names and addresses of those who comment, are considered part of the public record and are available for public inspection.

First and Goal to go By JONATHAN KANE

raxton Parish, Wood River High School senior, is passionate about sports—so passionate that, besides skiing, he also plays three varsity sports—football, baseball and basketball on Wood River teams that have been challenged the last few years. But of the three, football remains his favorite. “It’s the only [contact] sport that you can play in high school and I love hitting people,” he said. This Friday the Wolverines will be at home against Buhl. “They’re a tough physical team but I think we can beat them. Last year we were four and four but this year I think we’ll be six and three. I’ve been playing since I was nine years old and right now I play runningback, cornerback and back-up quarterback. I’m fast and I’m smart enough to learn any position but I like runningback best. I love running the ball and I’m pretty good at it. In eighth grade I had a great year and scored ten touchdowns. There’s nothing better than scoring a touchdown. I’ve hit a home run and a half court shot in basketball, but the feeling of scoring a touchdown is incredible, especially when you hear the crowd go crazy.” Born in Pocatello, Parish moved here when he was two years old and his dad had an outfitting company in Stanley. Along the way, Parish has attended Hailey Elementary, Wood River Middle School and now Wood River High School, where he carries a 3.5 grade point average. “I could never move away from here – it’s the best place in the world. It’s great to be near a resort and to have so many outdoor activities like hiking, biking and fishing. The best part is knowing everyone and getting the support that we have. The football team sold

community cards to raise money and everyone got behind it and bought them. It’s that way about everything and I love it. The bad thing, of course, is that everyone knows each other and people can say that you did things that you didn’t do and it gets around to parents and your coaches. The whole drama scene can get annoying. I want to live here but I want to pursue chemistry and may have to move elsewhere to get a job. I like the big city atmosphere but I also hate it when people complain there’s nothing to do in a small town. We really don’t have crime and poverty so we’re lucky to be here.” At Wood River “there is a lot of room to explore things academically and the teachers are great, especially in the A.P. courses. The athletic department gets a lot of support, which is surprising considering how bad we do, especially in basketball. The school is always totally behind us. I guess the negatives are that some of the policies can be a little petty and uptight, which they don’t need to be, like permit parking and when you wear a hat.” The A.P. credits Parish will have racked up include economics, U.S. history, government and biology. “I did really well in economics because I understood it very well. History was a real challenge but our teacher really pushed us and it was good for college preparation. I really lean toward the sciences, and chemistry is my favorite. There are a bunch of fields that branch out from it, like chemical engineering and biological chemistry. It’s something that is always needed throughout the U.S. and the world. I’m just a science and math guy and it’s something that I grasp easily.” It seems that Parish is someone that grasps a lot of things easily. tws

Woodside Teacher Honored

By KAREN BOSSICK Karen Bliss, a dual immersion teacher at Woodside Elementary School, has been selected as one of Idaho’s outstanding teacher mentors. Bliss will receive her honor at a Sept. 8 Celebration of Teaching dinner and awards ceremony in the Stueckle Sky Center overlooking the Boise State University Bronco football field. The Celebration of Teaching-Mentors of the Year Awards is a new program created by the Idaho State Department of Education and Boise State University to recognize excellent teachers in southwest Idaho public schools. The teachers are those who guide, support and encourage fellow educators in their pursuit of effective teaching and professional growth. Bliss said she learned of her award from Astronaut Barbara Morgan, a former McCall-Donnelly teacher who now serves as Distinguished Educator in Residence at Boise State.

briefs Library Card Sign-up Month

As students head back to school this September, the Hailey Public Library wants to make sure that children have the most important school supply of all—a library card. Owning a library card provides students the resources they need to compete academically. Most public libraries (89.6 percent) provide students free access to databases of news articles, encyclopedias and test preparation materials, as well as homework help and resources. In addition, public libraries are the number one access point for free Internet access, an important resource for families without access at home when 96 percent of school districts require students to use the Internet to complete their homework. “Today’s libraries provide all types of students with the tools they need to succeed,” says LeAnn Gelskey, director. “Libraries provide young readers with exciting and engaging programs that make learning fun. It is for these reasons that now more than ever a library card is the most important school supply of all.” For more information on how to sign up for a library card, visit the Hailey Public Library in person or visit the library online at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

The Story Behind the Ink By KAREN BOSSICK Vocal teacher Max Stimac was among hundreds of Blaine County School teachers who returned to work last week to get ready for the youngsters’ return after Labor Day. He sported the Mickey Mouse tattoo he promised the students he’d get after they brought home all the heavy metal at the Heritage Music Festival Competition in Anaheim, Calif., last spring.

The kids won the Heritage Festival Sweepstakes going up against 31 schools from the United States and Canada and more than 2,600 music and vocal students. They also made off with a clean sweep of all the other trophies, including Choral Sweepstakes, Instrumental Sweepstakes, Outstanding Choir; Outstanding Band, and Outstanding Chamber Orchestra, as well as a pocketful of gold medals that

would have the ‘49ers after them with pickaxes. Stimac--whose Mickey Mouse is singing, of course--said he will have one more choir to lead this year. He divided his largest choir into two so it will be more even amongst the students.

Attendees will be able to enjoy 15 of Brandt’s large-scale photographs of Africa’s wildlife and learn about his organization big Life foundation. Brandt will discuss his foundation and sell copies of his new book with the proceeds going to Big Life Foundation, which

Brandt set up last year to conserve Africa’s wildlife and ecosystems in the face of a dramatic escalation in poaching. The foundation has enabled teams of anti-poaching rangers to be placed in newly built outposts in critical areas. It was while directing Earth Song, a music video for Michael Jackson, in Tanzania in 1995, that Nick fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa. In 2000, he embarked upon an

ambitious photographic project-a trilogy of books to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. The first two parts of the trilogy have been published in On This Earth (2005), A Shadow Falls (2009), and On This Earth, A Shadow Falls (2010, combining the best photos from the first two books). The final book shows a darker vision amidst the beauty—the one that compeled him to start Big Life Foundation. tws

he Habitat is just a garden, but it’s like a circus tiger, trained and wild at the same time. Because I use it as a base to communicate from, I keep grabbing a series of tigers by the tail, as if botany and the other natural history subjects weren’t enough. I keep discovering other worlds, perfect for a natural-born traveler. Pretty soon I’ll be talking about parallel universes—though not yet. This process of laying bare one’s ignorance is, fortunately, astonishing. The journey of discovery is humbling, but far from self-flagellation. There is just too much to know. One such tiger by the tail was a factoid I mentioned at the conclusion of an article over 18 months ago. I stated that river tributary systems, branches of a tree and our body’s network of blood vessels are all built according to the same mathematical principles/ ratios. This was one hot potato. What do I do with that? I lacked the tools needed for further exploration, so, as is so often the case, the information started to arrive by itself—the ‘truth’ finds the seeker, and not the other way around. As it turns out, I chanced upon the world of fractals. PBS’ NOVA spent an hour on the subject and, like a good student, I watched and took notes. And that was just the beginning. Fractals are everywhere. The word ‘fractal’ is short for fractional dimension. The idea, invented by IBM’s research lab rat Benoit Mandelbrot in the 1960s, is a derivative of the Nobel Prize-winning Chaos Theory of meteorologist Edward Lorenz. To visualize a fractal, look no further than the repetitive patterns in a head of broccoli or

Elephant’s Head By KAREN BOSSICK

I

t doesn’t take much imagination to see how the Elephant’s Head got its name. It is one of the most distinctive and unusual plants of this area. Its small pink-magenta flower heads resemble an elephant’s head with two ears and curving trunks. The spike can be up to two feet tall and the leaves resemble fern fronds. Look for it in moist boggy areas or along stream banks, such as the West Fork of Norton Lake Creek off Baker Creek Road north of Ketchum. tws

cauliflower. The smallest part will reflect and repeat the design of the whole. What appears as random surface chaos coalesces into a pattern. Importantly, the structure repeats itself and looks the same on all scales. Fractals are infinitely scalable. (Are we?). They can extend from the microscopic to the galactic, from the distribution of sand on a beach to a galactic vortex. It is a unifying thread in nature. The second feature of a fractal is that it is a pattern of variation from a base that can be quantified in terms of duration and intensity. The seismographic pattern of the recent 5.9 earthquake in Mineral, Va., is a perfect example of a small fractal. It occurs when there is matter and energy in motion. It is, in fact, the quantifiable manifestation of life energy. The idea is that irregularity is a constant, and that the world is regular in its irregularity. Examples abound; in nature— weather systems, earthquakes, wave development, lightning strikes, floods, coastlines, mountain ridges, fern fronds, plant growth, cloud structure and, above all, water. In our bodies, fractals can be found in our vascular system (one of 30 different liquids in our body), cerebral design, the dendritic structure of our nervous system, lung alvioli, the lines in our palms, human emotions and behavior—e.g., stock market trading patterns— the shape of the uterus and of the curled-up fetus, and on and on. Just so you don’t think this is some sort of straightjacket, next week I’ll explain some of the math, the use of computergenerated algorithms and their inadequacy in the prediction of complex interactive phenomena and, lastly, the spiritual implications of some of these thoughts. No wonder I don’t sleep well. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Denovo Features Dogs in Cars By KAREN BOSSICK

M

artin Usborne was left alone in a car as a youngster. And he’s never forgotten his sense of abandonment, even though he was a well-loved child who had no reason to fear his mother or father wouldn’t return for him. In recent years, the London photographer began focusing on dogs that he saw parked in cars, wondering if they experienced the same anxiety he had felt as a boy. Eventually, that extended to a series of photographs that feature dogs in parked cars that he called “Mute—The Silence of Dogs.” The photographs, which have been shown only in Los Angeles and London until now, will be exhibited at Gallery DeNovo. Art lovers are invited to bring their dogs with them to view the exhibit during Friday’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. The

gallery will serve up dog water and doggy biscuits, along with its usual wine. And 10 percent of sales between Friday and Monday will go toward the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, which will bring several dogs to the show. The photographs will touch the hearts of dog lovers, of which there are many in the Wood River Valley. One border collie sits with his ear cocked, as if listening for his human companion to return. A black Lab sits expectantly with an almost bewildered look in his eyes. “These are beautiful portraits of dogs. I think people may be taken aback a little,” said Gallery DeNovo owner Robin Reiners. “I was struck by the emotion. They’re really well done.” Usborne said the camera is the perfect tool for capturing a sense of silence and longing as the shutter freezes the subject forever. The title, he said, refers

to a scene he saw on TV of a dog being put in a plastic bag and kicked. What appalled him most, he said, was that the dog could not speak back and its muteness terrified him. “He’s really captured the humanistic side to these dogs,” said Gallery DeNovo assistant Gail Dwyer. “When you look into their eyes, there’s a lot of angst—they seem to say, ‘Is someone out there coming to get me?’ ” In addition to showing the photographs, both Gallery DeNovo and Iconoclast Books will sell copies of Usborne’s photography book, titled “My Name is Moose.” The book captures Usborne’s own Scottish terrier as he tries to measure up to that of a prize show dog only to realize his real worth may lie elsewhere. “It’s message seems to be how much dogs impact us,” Reiners said. tws

Mary Josephson ‘Look Into My Eyes’ Exhibit Opens at Friesen Gallery By KAREN BOSSICK

A

s a military brat who was always moving around the country, Mary Josephson learned early how she needed to communicate to make friends quickly. She tried her method of “speed-friending” on other children and even on lizards she found in the desert. But it’s become apparent to her that more and more people are using answering machines, Email, texting, tweeting—anything, it seems—to avoid direct contact with others while communicating. That realization provided fodder for her exhibition, “Look into My Eyes”—a mix of painting, embroidery and mosaics—which

can be seen at Friesen Gallery. “It’s an evocative and important exhibit that nudges us to put down our iPhones and step away from our keyboards. It shows that communicating with eye contact and sincerity is of greater value now more than ever,” said gallery owner Andria Friesen. Josephson’s expressive, narrative portraits are rich with vivid colors and symbolism. “Her Velvet Coat,” an oil on wood, for instance, portrays a woman holding a leopard on her lap, hinting at the idea of the need to lure someone in order to have a chance of communicating. Another portrays a woman with antler-like branches on her head as it ponders communicating with wild animals.

“It’s about cross-wiring and making connections,” said the Portland, Ore., artist. Painting was Josephson’s first love. She added embroidery to her work, using the thread as a metaphor for tracing one’s past and connecting to the future. And she adopted mosaics as a centuries-old way of communicating ideas. Whatever the medium, she focuses not so much on achieving a physical likeness with her portraits as to tell a story about the person in the picture. “When I lived in the American Southwest, I learned that the land I thought was empty was teeming with life. That showed me that people and things may not be how they seem.” tws

David Burdeny’s Ancora By KAREN BOSSICK

D

avid Burdeny started taking pictures of the prairie that surrounded his Winnipeg, Manitoba, home at age 12, developing the black and white prints in the makeshift darkroom in his bedroom closet. Once he left the prairie, he became infatuated with water, making it the focus of several series, including an iceberg series that featured Antarctic bergs in shades of blue. Now, Gilman Contemporary is showing 30 new photographs of Burdeny’s in a series titled “Ancora,” an Italian word for “still”

or “calm.” Like his previous work, these focus on the atmosphere, colors, lights, shapes and forms that comprise the world’s oceans, shorelines and other waterways. These particular photographs were inspired by Joseph Brodsky’s book, “Watermark,” and feature areas in Thailand, Vietnam and Hawaii. Burdeny, who now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, shot many of them in rain, fog and mist to eliminate background clutter and deep shadow. As always, they provide a surreal look, a signature of Burdeny’s photographs.

Unlike many of his others, however, these introduce a human element in nature. One photograph, for instance, features gondolas tied up to a Venetian dock. The ocean is moving just enough to make the boats a bit of a blur, while the unmoving pylons are sharp as a tack. “I love how surreal they feel because of the softness,” said Casey Hanrahan, director of Gilman Contemporary. “David shoots on film, using an extended process. He gets the pylons so sharp you can even see the wood grain, while the gondolas are blurry soft. The whole thing is very dreamlike.” tws

30 minutes or Less gone camping movie review

Jon rated this movie

Outdoor Favorites from SUN Readers

By JONATHAN KANE

READ BELOW ON HOW TO SUBMIT YOURS!

I

f only the title of the new film 30 Minutes or Less was actually literal and this painfully unfunny comedy was indeed less than a half hour. Perhaps the mind numbing could have been shortened by a third. Instead, we’re in for the total 90, and a more painful 90 minutes couldn’t be found. Perhaps a handful of 15-year-olds could find this attempt at humor funny, but for the rest of us, there is nary a laugh to be found. Perhaps the least funny aspect of the movie is how they have taken the tragic tale of a pizza delivery guy being strapped to a bomb and forced to rob a bank only to have the bomb explode and horribly kill him. What a laugh riot! If only you could be a fly on the wall at the pitch meet-

PLACE:

Fish Creek Reservoir

ing where this story was turned into a comedy and studio executives roared with laughter. In this mess, a dopey guy played by Danny McBride wants to murder his father, so he comes up with a plan to hire a hit man by boobytrapping a delivery guy to get the money from a bank. McBride’s popularity, complete with a bad mullet, eludes me, and he is fast wearing out his welcome. Shockingly, the delivery boy is played by Jessie Eisenberg, fresh off the Social Network. Note to Jessie – fire your agent! Jessie’s friend is played by Aziz Ansari – a brilliant young stand-up comedian and one of the stars of Parks and Recreation. This is his film debut and he’s the only thing worth watching in the film, although it won’t exactly propel him to stardom. Thankfully, the summer is almost over and Hollywood will be rolling out films worth watching. It’s been real slim pickin’s the last few months. If you haven’t seen Buck or The Help yet, rush out to theaters and see these two and leave messes like this one far behind. tws

The Punch line

HOW TO GET THERE:

Go through Carey, towards Craters, you’ll see the sign on the left to go to Fish Creek Reservoir about 10 to 13 miles past Carey.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Lots of great �ishing and wildlife too. I saw a bald eagle, a moose and some bear tracks down by the reservoir (although the bear himself remained out of sight!). The scenery is amazing — wide open skies — perfect for stargazing. Tons of geology going on here. Great photography opportunities Not a lot of trees though, so be sure to bring a canopy or be sure your RV has one.

RECOMMENDATION:

This is a nice getaway and I would go there again.

horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wish the past could only come back through memories. Instead, it comes on legs, through phone lines or via your Internet connection. Though you might not be entirely glad for the disruption the past brings to your present circumstance, ultimately, you will be glad for the chance to set things right. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are certain pressures you have to deal with on a daily basis. Mostly, they come in the form of people who want you to do things you don’t necessarily feel like doing. Even if you believe the activities are in your best interest, compliance still takes effort. Once you dive in, the effort will be its own reward. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll make a contribution to a cause this week. This may not be money. Likely, it’s your attention, energy and time. These resources, your golden bits of life, are even more valuable than a dollar amount. The gift will simultaneously improve your cause and yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22). One way to give yourself more time in the day (and an unhurried morning routine!) is to concentrate an organizational effort on the closet and bathroom. In the days to come, you’ll need to get out the door and into the world quickly. You’ll want to arrive on the scene each morning with a smiling face. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes your dreams are dangling in the ether just above your head, and all you have to do is reach up and claim them. This week, you realize your dreams are not going to fall into your hands so easily. You’ll have to fight to bring them into being. In this way, you’ll prove your worthiness to have what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know the importance of good friends. You cherish your friendships and find unusual and thoughtful ways to show your appreciation. You don’t give because you feel it’s the right thing to do; you give because you can’t help yourself. Your gestures, however small, will always be remembered. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have put your energy into many different projects, people and other investments. You may feel as though some of your energy is still out there in the universe and you now need to call it back to you. It’s as though you let someone borrow a part of you and it’s now time for them to return it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Before there was language, humans communicated only with music. They intoned their thoughts and feelings, satisfaction or dissatisfaction, with a variety of sounds. You are attuned to those primal tones that still exist in our discourse. You’ll recognize how others are feeling and speak to their emotions directly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be inspired to do something different with your money as your ruling planet, Jupiter, goes retrograde in the sign of spending. Suddenly, the luxury items that were so appealing last week will seem extravagant and unnecessary. You’ll see the benefit to saving and will investigate ways to invest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As far as you’re concerned, roller coasters and love affairs cannot compete: There is no thrill quite like the thrill of accomplishment. Your excitement builds this week, as you are not only able to make remarkable progress toward your goals, but you also inspire your team to produce rapid results. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be faced with contradictions between what you believe and what is occurring in front of your eyes. This new reality will inspire you to retrace and reconsider your belief system. Because you dare to get closer and closer to the truth, you will grow in power and wisdom. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). New people come into your life. You know right away when someone is meant to be more than a passing acquaintance. One person in particular will act as a kind of teacher to you. You will find yourself instantly fascinated and increasingly hungry for the insights a certain person can provide you. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: The year is imbued with a new sense of purpose. You bring positive qualities to your work, and the energy spreads to those close to you. September features a new goal -- the completion of which will take six months and affect nearly every part of your life. tws

wagon days 2011

From the Big Hitch to Down Under Photos & Story By KAREN BOSSICK

W

alt Femling felt as if he’d stepped into a rowdy scene from the Old West when he worked his first Wagon Days as a newbie officer for the Ketchum Police Department in 1979. Out-of-towners who’d heard that Ketchum was a great place to party crowded into town that weekend to “raise hell and get in fights,” recalled Femling, who retired this year as Blaine County sheriff. They’d shoot bottle rockets at people from the rooftop of The Casino. They’d empty the Golden Rule of beer, chugging it down and throwing the bottles in the streets. And they’d shoot off fireworks, sparking small fires everywhere. “From a young police officer’s point of view, it was really kind of fun—a big adrenaline rush. We arrested a record 45 people, putting them in the old gorilla cage cell in the old Ketchum police station,” he recalled. “But we knew it couldn’t go on that way.” On Saturday Femling will see the Big Hitch parade from a different point of view—as grand marshal. And it will be a totally different event, as well—a clean, sanitized, family-friendly event. “I love the Wagon Days parade,” said Femling. “It’s one of the best parades in Idaho. In fact, I think it’s gained a reputation as one of the best non-motorized parades in the Northwest.” This Wagon Days parade, which starts at 1 p.m., will try to build on that reputation with six to eight new wagons added

to its menu of stagecoaches, horse-drawn carriages and other museum-quality relics of the Old West. The new entries are historic freight wagons from Idaho, Utah and Arizona, said Heather Deckard, the parade’s wagonmeister. “They’re all show quality, restored, authentic, impeccable. And they have beautiful animals pulling them.” The Wagon Days celebration will feature all the familiar elements, including its Blackjack Ketchum shootouts, the Silver Car Auction at Sun Valley Resort, antique shows, gallery walk, an Eh-Capa bareback riders performance and a children’s carnival manned by members of the Soldier Mountain All Stars to raise money to buy cheerleader uniforms. The Papoose Club will serve up all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, eggs, orange juice, coffee and fruit from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday in Ketchum Town Plaza across from Atkinsons’ Market. The breakfast is a key fundraising event for the club, which is one of the Valley’s oldest philanthropic volunteer organizations, said club president Danni Dean. Over the past three years the club has donated more than $77,000 to 44 local organizations that work with kids. This year’s Wagon Days will also feature Wagons Ho!—a hands-on exhibit on the day of the parade to give children a taste of what it was like to live in a mining camp. And bands will provide live music in Ketchum Town Plaza

at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday immediately following the shootouts. Salt Lake City’s Irish rock group Swagger, which cultivated many fans in the Valley after playing Ketch’em Alive earlier this summer and Marley in the Mountains last winter, will play Friday. The high-energy kiltclad group plays pub songs with an American rock beat and a vocal accent from old Ireland, said concert arranger Will Caldwell. The Australian band Oka will serve up a stew of didgeridooflavored Australian roots music

Saturday. The band plays the “Down Under” roots sound of the Outback over universal drum rhythms. “Oka has just now arrived in our country and wants to see the Northern Rockies and share their kind of music. Their music is very ear pleasing and mesmerizing,” Caldwell said. “The Wagon Days weekend has been missing music the past few years so it’s great we can add this music to keep people entertained.” The Wagon Days celebration will conclude on Sunday with the Great Wagon Days Duck Race, in which the Ketchum/Sun Valley Rotary Club dumps thousands of plastic ducks into the Big Wood River with partygoers cheering them on as they bob toward the finish line. This year’s party starts at 1 p.m. at Ketchum’s Rotary Park at Warm Springs and Saddle roads with music by local band Straight Up, a bouncy house and food for sale. The duck race starts at 3 p.m. People can adopt ducks for $5 each at Atkinsons’ Market and

even at the race. Fast ducks will earn their adopters such prizes as a Sun Valley season ski pass, with the proceeds going toward the Rotary scholarship fund and holiday baskets. “It’s always so fun,” said Rotary Club member Ramona Duke. “The kids get so excited when they see those ducks in the water.”

That’s why on Sunday morning she was out in her garden photographing dewdrops on the daisies, dahlias and columbine. “I yearn for the soft light that you get on gray days. Everybody thinks you’ve got to have bright sunlight.

Phone Books

T

he ERC receives a multitude of phone calls from frustrated people whose homes and offices are overflowing with too many phone books. Finally an option exists where you may choose which directories to receive. The Association of Directory Publishers has an opt-out feature at www.yellowpagesoptout.com that is very easy to use. Just enter your ZIP Code, choose among the directories that cover your area, and then select how many copies to receive of each. Like opting out of catalogs, this process is not going to be instantaneous, depending on where each directory is in their annual cycle of printing. The Association proudly claims great progress in reducing their carbon footprint. Vegetable-based inks and eco-friendly adhesives have reduced their petroleum consumption, and the books are made from recycled paper, not virgin paper pulp. Due to smaller-format books, and thinner paper stock, 29 percent less paper is now used in phone books than was used in 2006. The books themselves can be upcycled into products like coffee cup trays, egg cartons, cereal boxes and cellulose insulation. Recycling phone books here in the Valley does take some extra effort, since they are not collected curbside, but remember that the Ohio Gulch Resource Recovery Center accepts them all year long (remove spiral binders, please).

Interest Rates By ANA TORRES

W

ith mortgage interest rates at their lowest, borrowers are rushing into refis without doing their homework. Before jumping on the bandwagon, review your current mortgage product, financial situation and future ownership plans. A refinance can offer hundreds of dollars in monthly savings particularly for those homeowners who have the opportunity to significantly reduce their rate or intend to stay in their home for many years to come. Sometimes, though, a mortgage refinance can be the wrong move. Not Comparing the Rate It is only natural to get rate envy after hearing about the low rate your friend or neighbor was able to lock-in. But don’t rush into a refi just yet. Work with your mortgage specialist to ensure you’re not lured by introductory rates and mortgage products that aren’t right for your current financial situation. Your mortgage specialist will help you gain a full understanding of your current mortgage product and real rate so you can do a true mortgage comparison. Unaware of Break-Even Knowing your break-even point, which is the amount of time it will take for savings to offset the refinance costs, is crucial to determining whether refinancing is worth your while. Your break-even point is determined by a number of variables including your current interest rate, the new potential rate, closing costs and how long you

plan to stay in your home. Grab your calculator and a calendar, or simply contact your mortgage specialist to determine your break-even point so that you be sure a refi is right for you. Selecting the Wrong Loan Those borrowers who choose not to work with a mortgage specialist, or those who fail to calculate their break-even point often times select the wrong loan. The interest rate isn’t the only factor to consider when selecting a loan. If you’ve been paying on your current loan for a long time, refinancing into another 30-year mortgage may not be the best choice.  Take the time to find and compare products that are right for your current financial situation and future home ownership goals. Not Upholding Your Borrower Responsibilities Just as you rely on your lender to refinance your mortgage; your lender relies on you to fulfill your borrower obligations. Borrowers must return all documentation as soon as it is requested, maintain good credit and avoid taking on any new debt up prior to closing. If the borrower doesn’t hold up their end of the bargain, they risk the chance of derailing their refinance. Work closely with your lender to ensure you don’t forget any documents and that you are able to close before tws your rate expires

U.S. Pro Cycling Challenge By BALI SZABO

Levi Leipheimer of Team Radio Shack won the inaugural 508-mile, 7-day race that crossed the State of Colorado. The race ended last Sunday afternoon in a series of laps through sunny downtown Denver. The event was organized in a co-operative effort between Gov. Bill Ritter and Lance Armstrong. By all measures it was a rousing success and bodes well for the future of American road racing. It all looked very much like the festive, well-organized event with all the fixins’- team cars, the motorcycle cops, the big yellow arches marking important points on the course, and last but not least, large, enthusiastic crowds on the passes and in the towns. It also helped that the first 3 finishers of the Tour de France - Cadel Evans and the popular Schleck brothers were among the competitors, along with the top American riders

George Hincapie,Christian Vande Velde and Tom Danielson. After Thursday time trial win, Leipheimer had an 11 second lead on 2nd place finisher Vande Velde, he held on to it,m and wore the overall classification Yerllow Jersey all the way to the finish. These races are really team events. Team Radio Shack protected its lead rider. All teams keep an eye on each other and maintain their positions in the peloton. The small team of a few breakaway riders are allowed to go because they are not among the leaders, and the peloton usually catches them at the end. Each rider in the peloton gets the same finish time, so with good team riding, an 11 second lead can hold up for 3 days of mountain stages, as it did here. Congratulations to the all-American podium of Leipheimer, Vande Velde and Tejay Van Garderen! tws

briefs Making a mark with defensive shooting Since May of this year, a group of 20-30 individuals have been gathering locally to show off their marksmanship skills with pistols used for defensive purposes the first Saturday of each month. Although this group is not yet an official International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) club, they are working toward this status. These monthly matches are proving to be a fun way to practice marksmanship in a competition setting. At each match there are four to six stages. Each stage is created to include a moving target, a swinging target, steel plates, use of cover, and multiple targets. Each shooter is timed and scored based on marksmanship.

Sun Valley Writers Conference Smacks of Wit By KAREN BOSSICK

D

avid Brooks offered a look at the mind of “The Social Animal,” while Kathryn Stockett charmed an audience of readers with her unassuming southern demeanor as the 16th annual Sun Valley Writers Conference took the stage this past weekend in Sun Valley. About 900 people attended the conference. And hundreds more paid $35 each to hear David Brooks, who had found a way to fly from the Rift Valley in Kenya to Sun Valley in 24 hours despite all the talk about Sun Valley being hard to get to. Brooks offered a humorous yet fact-filled look at man as social animal, with a few jabs at Congressmen like Mitt Romney whom he said had the social skills to recall the first names of everyone he met on the campaign trail but were “socially incompetent” in dealing with each other on issues like the debt ceiling crisis. We unconsciously eat more the more people we dine with. We’re an overconfident nation. We solve problems better in person where we can benefit from seeing others’ body language than we do working by email. And Olympic swimmers swim faster in relays than they do individually because they have a vested interest in being part of the group, Brooks told the audience. Kathryn Stockett, whose book “The Help” is a runaway bestseller, said she got 60 rejection letters telling her book would never sell. “One thing I do know: If you put it in your dresser ‘coffin,’ it never will get published,” she said. Stockett described how she

was told dinosaurs didn’t exist or they would have been in the Bible in school. “Imagine my surprise when I went to the National History Museum in New York,” she said in her slow southern drawl. Stockett said she also had to research Jim Crow laws for her book since she was learned nothing about Civil Rights in school. “My favorite law was one that prohibited white and black children attending the same school for the blind,” she said. Stockett said she has reaped many rewards from her book’s success, including a call from Civil Rights leader Vernon Jordan who told her, “I loved ‘The Help’ because I was the help.” But along with the good has come some bad, she noted, holding up her bare finger where her wedding ring used to be. Stockett is currently toying with a book about privileged Southern women with zero marketable skills who find a unique way to support themselves. The book will be set during the Depression. “I’m fascinated with the Depression. Everybody was poor. And neighbors helped out neighbors.” Kati Marton, author of “Enemies of the People,” told how everyone her journalist parents thought were their

NEXT WEEK

It was obvious to Isabel Wilkerson that few African-Americans had migrated to Sun Valley in the great migration north as she looked over the crowd gathered at the Ketchum Town Plaza last week. But there was something going on there that wouldn’t have happened if it had not been for the migration of blacks between 1915 and the 1970s. Find out what that is in next week’s Weekly Sun when Karen Bossick interviews the author of “The Warm of Other Suns.”

friends betrayed them to the Hungarian police, including the French babysitter. Ultimately it was a mole inside the American embassy who turned in her proAmerican father. Her parents were eventually freed, thanks to efforts by the New York Times and the State Department. But the Hungarian government continued to spy on them in their Chevy Chase, Md., home as did J.Edgar Hoover. New Yorker humorist Calvin Trillin, meanwhile, regaled the audience with a story about a chicken in Hot Springs, Ark., that was taken off the tic-tac-toe circuit by “the animal people” because they thought it was demeaning to the chicken, even though the chicken always bested the humans. The conference attracted several first-timers from Boston and Washington, D.C., along with a group of women from Texas who have become regulars. A California woman said she always runs home from the Aspen Ideas Festival just long enough to empty her suitcase and fill it with fresh clothes before heading to the Sun Valley Writers Conference. Jane Atkinson said her

husband Rick Atkinson rarely attends writers conferences because they take so much time away from writing his World War II trilogy. But she looked forward to returning to Sun Valley. “I love the mountain climate and the fact that it is so undeveloped but still has creature comforts,” she said. Ketchum resident Lyman Drake confessed that “the last speaker is always my favorite.” But, that said, he particularly liked the political discourse and had a vested interest in New Yorker humorist Calvin Trillin, who was a classmate of his at Yale University. Ketchum resident Carol Harlig said this year’s conference “hit a home run” in the diversity of authors it offered. She also was impressed by conference organizers’ ability to field people like Kathryn Stockett just as she had become one of the most

talked-about women in the nation and Siddhartha Mukherjee, who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize after being invited to the conference. “And then to listen to some of the experts talk about the uprisings in the Middle East and go home that night and turn on the TV and learn about what was going on in Libya… I’m already going through withdrawal,” she groaned. “This fills me up, nourishes me.” Conference Director Robin Eidsmo chalked the conference’s success up to a literary board that “reads and reads and reads. “We owe it to their taste in literature,” she said. “And we have one of the finest audiences in the country—an audience that is open and receptive.” Editor’s note: Next year’s conference will be Aug. 17 through 22 at Sun Valley Resort.

Theatergoers will be ushered into a world in which a famous director is starting auditions for a major motion picture starring Broadway actresses from TV’s “One Life to Ruin.� Just as he does, someone is murdered. It’s up to the audience to figure out who dunnit. The evening begins with hors d’oeuvres and drinks as the actors circulate and stage confrontational scenes, which will set up the mystery that unfolds. Everyone will then gather at their tables in the theatre while characters are further developed on stage. Guests will have an opportunity to interrogate the suspects and search for clues as they enjoy dinner and drinks. Once the clues are discovered and Death by Chocolate dessert served, a solution scene will be played and prizes awarded for

the best solution, as well as the most clueless and outrageous solutions. “It is promising to be so much fun, it’s criminal,� said Prue Hemmings. Tickets are $100 each, which includes a $50 tax-deductible donation to the nexStage Theatre’s Annual Fund. Sleuths are invited to come as a team of six or more detectives. Or they can come alone and be put with others. Reservations: 726-9124. tws

Teacher will be Chuck Abramo, certified by the American Contract Bridge League as both a teacher and club director. Abramo currently teaches adult bridge classes in cooperation with the Wood River Bridge Club, and is excited to bring the opportunity to learn a new skill to a young audience. “So many people think of bridge as a game for ‘old people,’� Abramo said. “Wouldn’t it be great to get youngsters started in a game that really teaches them to think?� Abramo said research has shown that children who play bridge have

Fishing R epoRt

The “Weekly� Fishing RepoRT FoR Aug. 31, 2011 By: Jim sAnTA

he early morning action has T been up and down on Silver Creek. Some mornings have

been very slow and others very good. Tricos continue to be the main fare and they’ve been tiny, 22 and 24. We should begin to see more baetis and be on the lookout for mahogany duns. Hopper action has been decent when the morning hatch subsides. Beetles, ants, and damsels, both nymphs and dries, will be other good options late morning and early afternoon. Look for mayflies and caddis in the evening hour just before sunset The slightly higher than average flows on the Big Wood have made for decent fishing during what typically becomes a little tougher time of season. The bigger fish are a bit more wary but we’re beginning to see some of the smaller mayfly hatches in the mornings which should get the fish going. Look to the tailouts and slicks for this surface action. No need to get overly specific, but size and profile will be important. A nice selection of basic parachute patterns in sizes 16-20 in a variety of shades should suffice. When in doubt go smaller. When there’s a lack of bugs emerging, try a size 14-16 attractor with a zebra midge dropper. Vary your dropper length based on water depth. Hoppers are also taking some bigger fish. A key to finding fish willing to come up for a hopper will be covering a lot of water. The water level on the South Fork of the Boise has now been dropped and wade access is an option. Pinks, pmd.s and hoppers are taking fish during the morning and afternoon hours. They’ve been pretty selective on these mayflies so have a variety of bugs and consider your tippet size and leader length. In the evenings, as always, have a nice variety of caddis patterns. In summary, fishing has remained pretty good in all local waters, get out and enjoy some time on the water and consider booking one of our outstanding guides, we guarantee a good time in a beautiful environment.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, Electronics just scare me. I've had an old picture tube television for years, but couldn't justify throwing it away just because the industry came out with projection screens, LCD's and plasma sets. It's just more technology I don't know anything about. Except now my trusty old 1970's TV finally blew, just during the final episode of American Idol. I had to go to work the next day, reveal to my buddies that I watch the show and ask who won. How embarrassing! Now I'm on the hunt for another TV and would like to buy one through the classifieds to save a few bucks. How can I find a TV that will last me another 40 years?

• • •

Carry: Considering the

millions of people who watch the finale of American Idol, you shouldn't be too embarrassed. Your friends are more likely to ridicule you over the 1970's television you watched it on. Cash: If you're just starting your search for a another television, you'll notice a lot has changed since your last purchase. Carry: Seeing that your goal is to buy a used set in the classifieds,

Fast Facts The Age of TV

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 08/28/11 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

you should find quite a few to choose from. People commonly want to upgrade to a larger screen or the newest technology and sell their old sets. Cash: The first thing you should do is determine the screen size that you would like. Your older model was probably a relatively small screen so you may be happy with a 36-inch screen or smaller. Carry: Since longevity of the set is an important issue to you, then staying with the picture tube technology may be a great choice and easier to find in the classifieds. Over the years picture tubes have proven to be very reliable. The only limitation is that screen

sizes are typically less than 42 inches. Cash: For a larger screen, you'll need to invest in the newer technologies like LCD, projection or plasma screen televisions. Carry: And when you find a television in the classifieds, be sure to check out all the features. Make sure to try all the buttons and remotes and look at the picture carefully to make sure it’s satisfactory. If the set is in good condition, it should last you for quite a while. The average life span of televisions today is about 10 to 15 years. Cash: That's more than enough time to watch a few more seasons of American Idol.

Television is a significant part of our everyday lives, and projections indicate that it is continuing to grow. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the average teenager will watch more than 25,000 hours of TV by the age of 18. That's more than the amount of time they'll spend in the classroom. Today more than 68% of children between the ages of 8 and 18 already have a television in their room and average between 4 to 6 hours of programming per day.

Rated PG

Many reality television shows capture huge ratings every year. But not all television programs are meant for younger viewers. That's why the FCC adopted rules that require television manufacturers to incorporate the V-Chip, a technology that allows parents to filter programs based on their ratings. Since July 1, 2000, the chip has been required on all sets larger than 13 inches. For more information on how to use the V-Chip in your television, review the operating instructions or contact the manufacturer. •

Reader Humor Press of the Button

We have two children. Megan is 12-years-old and her brother Tyler is only seven. When we got a new TV, we put the old set in the basement for the kids to watch. Since it didn't have a remote control, Megan constantly complained about having to get up to change the channel. One day we walked down to see them watching TV and noticed that Megan was holding a very long stick. She explained that it was her new invention to change the channel without having to get off the couch. "That's very inventive," my husband commended her. As we turned to walk upstairs, we heard the invention in action. "Stop poking me already," Tyler whined. "I'll go change the channel." (Thanks to Kelly P.)
