She’s Got Moxie By KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s the stuff of romance, scandal and drama. Leda Sanford’s “Pure Moxie,” that is. The first female publisher of a national magazine, Sanford abandoned a secure yet “bored” suburban home life in the 1960s in exchange for life on the edge as a top magazine editor and publisher in the male-dominated Manhattan magazine publishing world she calls “the Mad Men period of magazine publishing and advertising.” And she’ll tantalize an audience at The Community Library with her recollections tonight at 6 p.m., with a book signing with Iconoclast Books to follow. In 1975 Sanford became the first female publisher a “American Home,” a major U.S. magazine with a circulation of more than a million that eventually folded into “Redbook.” It ushered her into a world of jetsetting opulence that included private planes, five-star hotels, a state dinner at the White House and even a headline-making affair. It also unleashed her onto a staff in revolt—a staff of corporate-type men who had Stepford Wives waiting for them with dinner each night. After her stint with “American Home,” she directed the creation and reinvention of such magazines as “Bon Appetit,” “Chief Executive,” “Attenzione,” AARP’s “Modern Maturity” and “Get Up and Go!” as she trained her focus on baby boomers and re-invention with aging. “ ‘Pure Moxie’ is a memoir that reads like a best-selling novel,” said Michael Rybarski, co-founder of Age Wave Target Marketing and author of “StartUp Smarts.” “Some readers may wonder if all of this could really have happened, but the world of American magazine publishing was a frontier in the 1970’s and Leda was one of its leading pioneers. A business success story, an adventure, and a racy read all wrapped in one, ‘Pure Moxie’ is an absolute page-turner, with an inspiring moral.” Sanford, who was born in Tuscany but raised in the Bronx, has also written a book of inspirational columns titled “Look for the Moon in the Morning.” She currently lives in Sausalito, Calif. tws

Joel Dear and Doran Key will skate to benefit the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club and other local non-profit organizations during Saturday night’s Battle of the Blades, based on the show Dancing with the Stars, at the Sun Valley ice rink.

oel Dear became hooked on skating when he began skating on the frozen playground outside his grade school in Traverse City, Mich. Doran Key was coaching 7- to 10-yearolds to ski race for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation before Dear was even born. Now this odd couple has united to compete in Saturday night’s Battle of the Blades—a high-energy show based on “Dancing with the Stars”—at the Sun Valley ice rink. “I skated as a kid once or twice. But learning to skate with a partner and doing lifts and jumps is a whole new ball game,” said Key. “And, unlike snow, ice is very hard.” Key is one of nine guys and gals from the worlds of academics, dentistry, skiing, mountain climbing and the arts who have been practicing two-minute ice dance routines with skating pros for Saturday’s show. Three judges and an applause meter will determine the winners, with proceeds going toward the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club and other non-profit organizations dear to the hearts of the winners. Amateur competitors like Key were given 10 free lessons with professional skaters before plotting their routines with choreographers like LisaMarie Allen and Gia Guddat. Competitors have been happily spying on each other ever since in a page taken from the hit TV show “Glee.” Dear and Key, both Broadway fans, originally selected “For Good” from “Wicked.” But it was too slow, so they picked two other songs that played to Key’s athleticism and Dear’s gracefulness. Last Wednesday, with 10 days remaining until the competition, the two tried out a routine that Dear made up as they went along. Dear picked Key up and twirled around. Halfway into the turn, Key remembered to stick out her arm. Just as he finished, she managed a forced smile. Covered with elbow guards and other protective gear, Key made a few tentative leaps through the air like a fledgling bird learning to fly. She tried crossing one foot over another, teetering a little on the required element. A spinout. And another lift—ooh, she cracked her smile a little earlier this time. By the end of their 75-min-

My One Man March for the Homeless By KAREN BOSSICK

S

tephen Millhouse figures that a homeless person in America walks 1,460 miles a year in search of food and shelter. So he’s walking 1,460 miles from Missoula, Mont., to Los Angeles to raise awareness about homelessness. He also hopes to raise donations to benefit homeless shelters and food banks along the way. His walk brought him through Ketchum and the rest of the Wood River Valley this past week, pulling a backpack on a wheel behind him. It was filled with 85 pounds worth of water, a tent, sleeping bag, laptop and food. “I figure I’ve received so much I want to pay it forward,â€? said Millhouse, who was wearing a Utilikilt—a kilt made of Carhartt-type material and endowed with plenty of pockets to hold his tools and other necessities. Millhouse, a former Marine, found himself living on the streets after he injured his shoulder working for a food store 10 years ago. His niece’s death last February at the hands of a drunk driver persuaded him that it was time to get out of the homeless shelter and do something with his life. “I decided I wanted to do something positive to memorialize her life. I started My One Man March for the Homeless and I started walking,â€? he said. Millhouse’s research revealed that the average homeless person walks four miles per day in search of food, shelter and health care‌ or 1,460 miles a year. About 3.5 million people are likely to experience homelessness in any given year, according to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty—and

“He’s got some challenges ahead of him. But, I’m really impressed with his ambition.� –Rod Kelly Data Programmer for The Hunger Coalition.

that was in 2007 before the Great Recession. The reasons include joblessness, lack of affordable healthcare, mental illness, addiction and lack of affordable housing. Millhouse says he’s not asking for much from people—just a penny for each mile a homeless person walks in a year’s time. But get enough pennies and he says he can spread the wealth around food pantries and homeless shelters he encounters on his walk. “Fourteen dollars and sixty cents doesn’t break anybody’s bank. And what food pantry can’t use a thousand dollars?� he said. Millhouse left Missoula on Aug. 3 and has averaged 15 to 18 miles a day, snacking on a trail mix of chocolate chips and dried bananas and cranberries, along with soup made from bouillon and dried jerky he heats in his Jet Boil. He spent a couple of days in Ketchum after his roller pack broke. “I’ve never seen Idaho like I’m seeing it now,� he said as he prepared to head south to Twin

overnor Butch Otter and Lieutenant Governor Brad Little will preside over a luncheon designed to raise $100,000 to honor the legacy of former Senator Clint Stennett. The luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the home of Trish and Dave Wilson, 110 Lindsay Circle on the third floor above Scott USA in Ketchum. It will be hosted by the Wilsons, Senator Michelle Stennett and Representative Wendy Jaquet. Donations offered at the lunch will go toward the new Clint

Stennett Scholarship Endowment Fund at Idaho State University, Stennett’s alma mater. The scholarships will be given to college-bound students from the Wood River Valley. Stennett, a minority leader in the Idaho Senate, passed away from brain cancer about a year ago. He was always talking about what a difference education made for him, said Jaquet. He also made education a priority when it came to funding. RSVPs can be made by calling 208-334-4781 or e-mailing Shari Fernandez at fernshar@isu.edu. RSVPs may also be made with tws Jaquet at 208-720-0968.

briefs Trout Unlimited works with Higher Ground Project

what you’ll find in this issue

On Thursday, Sept. 8, there will be a free-of-charge open meeting of the Hemingway Chapter of Trout Unlimited from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Roosevelt restaurant in Ketchum. Carrie Philbrick, program manager for Sun Valley Adaptive Sports, will be the guest speaker. In partnership with the Department of Defense, major military medical centers and veterans service organizations, Higher Ground serves men and women of the armed forces who have been severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fly- fishing is one of the most therapeutic activities there are for those veterans suffering from TBI (traumatic brain injury) and/or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). The healing effect of water and the tranquility of a lake or stream help to diffuse any stressors the veterans may have. The focus on fishing at hand and the dexterity involved are rehabilitative as well. Fly-fishing keeps them engaged and helps rebuild fine motor skills. The quietness of the sport can be relaxing, since it does not evoke physical pain as many other more physically challenging activities do. The environment and calmness of fly-fishing help with their healing and coping as well. For more information, call 6224613.

Brewery Gigs By KAREN BOSSICK

T

he summer’s outdoor concert series have wound down. But Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey is keeping the free vibes going tonight with two bands tonight. “We have a special mid-week, hump day if you will, double whammy show with two unique and fantastic bands,” said Sean Flynn. “Two awesome bands. One night.” Tonight’s show, which begins at 8:30 p.m., will feature San Francisco’s Tartufi and the Boise-based but locally grown Finn Riggins. Tartufi has been called the most unique band in the Bay area, with two players who manage to sound like 12. And Finn Riggins has made a name for itself throughout the northwest tws with its indie sound.

he smoke was still hovering over the ruins of the World Trade Center when an editor named Joan received a call from a fire captain who had lost most of his men in the collapse of the New York landmark. Would she help him write the eulogies for his fallen men? Nick asked. What follows is a recounting of the men’s virtues and foibles amidst the emotional landscape of grief in Anne Nelson’s play called “The Guys.” Company of Fools’ Denise Simone and Joel Vilinsky will offer a reading of the play, which is based on a true story, at 2 p.m. Sunday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. The afternoon, designed to offer healing and remembrance on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, will also feature music by A Few Good Men, a newly created a cappella group for males made up of John Mauldin, Paul Stoops, Dawson Howard, Tim Eagan, Doug Taylor, George Sedlack, Dick Brightman, R.L. Rowsey and others. The reading, directed by John Glenn, is free, but donations will be accepted on behalf of Blaine County Search and Rescue. Simone said she and the Fools wanted to offer the community an opportunity to come together to mark the anniversary of the event that took nearly 3,000 lives and left a gaping scar on the nation’s psyche. “I don’t think there was anybody who wasn’t profoundly impacted by 9/11. It was as if we were all in the same place,” she said. “There’s a great line in the play that, before 9/11, New Yorkers kept to their own little

tribes. After 9/11, that jumped the track. It changed the landscape of how we live life around the globe.” The play, which elicits laughter as well as sobs, originally featured Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver. Others who have tackled its roles include Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Helen Hunt, Marlo Thomas, Army Irving and Bill Irwin. “The Guys” is “a courageous and riveting play that tackles the horror of Sept. 11 with an intimacy that’s both unsettling and healing,” said a reviewer for The Christian Science Monitor. It also exposes the serious roles writers and actors have to play in a grieving society, said a review by The New York Times. The play is being done throughout the United States from Twin Falls to New York. Its local incarnation elicited a letter from a New York resident who lived at Ground Zero at the time of the attack noting that its telling in the Sun Valley area was a nice affirmation that “community matters.” Simone said she likes the play because it doesn’t talk about the event itself but instead tells a story that “frankly has no words to tell it. It brings to a very human level 13 men who lost their lives on that day.” A Few Good Men will sing “The Star Spangled Banner” in four-part harmony, said Doug Taylor. “Tim Eagan was the sparkplug and R.L. is the director. We hope to offer something new for the community and have fun singing together at the same time,” he added. The event is sponsored by Gilman Contemporary. tws

Floyd Wrote Book Because of 9/11 Photo & Story By KAREN BOSSICK

I

t was in Timothy Floyd’s genes to want to do something when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon directly across from his father’s columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery. After all, his family helped build this country, beginning with Jamestown in 1673, defeating the British in 1776 and going on to fight in the Civil War, World War I and World War II. So, at the age of 48, after a year of weekend training, officer’s basic school and a twoweek training exercise, Floyd went to Iraq in March 2003 with an Army Reserve unit based in Salt Lake City. Upon his return to Idaho, the local physician, who lives in Bellevue, published a coffee tabletype book titled “Aid and Comfort to the Enemy: A Surgeon’s View of the War in Iraq.” The book features photographs he took with his Hasselblad and Nikon D 100, including those of surgeons operating on Iraqi soldiers, Bedouins tending their goats and a cache of weapons that the U.S. military destroyed. It also features a narrative of Floyd’s experience, including the surreal experience of stashing Berretta 9 mm pistols and M16 rifles under his airplane seats and in the overhead bins and sleeping with a gun strapped to his leg. Arriving in Iraq at the beginning of the Iraq War, Floyd’s unit immediately came under attack. He learned quickly to adjust to the continuous roar of jets, the thwaps of helicopters, the clanging of tanks and a sky so thick with red dust it was difficult to navigate. He found himself using toilets made out of oil drums and wearing chemical warfare gear that fellow soldiers quipped was designed to keep body odor in more than toxins out. “They’d blow up ordnance on the hour and half-hour. If we

heard an explosion at any other time, we knew it was an incoming mortar,” he said. For the most part, Floyd said he felt as if he were riding in with a liberating army, tossing MREs and bottles of water to the Iraqi people who lined the roads. “We only got a few angry looks—mostly in Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit. But we also got shot at in Baghdad,” said Floyd, who also survived an ambush. “I was surprised at the disparity between the way Saddam lived and the people. I thought: How could Saddam look outside his palace windows and feel good about how he was running the country?” Floyd confessed he usually felt safer with his finger on the trigger of a gun than his camera shutter, especially when he was sent on the move without GPS or maps. He went as many as two weeks without a shower, became ill from fleabites and played indoor hockey to relieve depression caused by homesickness and boredom, especially when the Army extended his 90-day commitment to six months, leaving his practice in a lurch. He fell in love with chicken walnut stew with pomegranate paste—enough, at least, to include the recipe in his book. And

Free Presentation on Faces from the Southern Ocean By KAREN BOSSICK

P

ainter, photographer and naturalist J.J. L’Heureux will share her photographs and talk about the adventures behind her book, “Faces From the Southern Ocean,” in a free presentation at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library in Ketchum. The book presents portraits or “faces” from the Southern Ocean, including its inhabitants, glaciers and mountains. L’Heureux has been to the continent of Antarctica a halfdozen times. “Antarctica is remote, vast, windy and cold. Yet it is the most pristine place in all regards,”

she says. “It contains life in the most amazing forms and adaptations including birds that do not fly, birds that fly, seals, whales and in a few places a handful of plants. While it is a place dominated by white on white, there are colors in this setting of ice and snow that most people would be surprised to see.” Heureux, who lives in Venice, Calif., is also an abstract artist who often takes elements from the Antarctic and other landscape to create romantic minimalist paintings. She calls her Antarctica paintings “Bergy Bits” after large chunks of glacier ice and small icebergs floating in the sea. tws

Dr. Timothy Floyd said he self-published his $40 book with the help of Artbook Press because he felt that he had some good photographs he wanted to share. “And I kept a diary so I had some words to go with the pictures,” he added.

he learned to enjoy contraband whiskey made from dates that he bought from a roadside vendor. Floyd and his fellow surgeons operated inside a sun-baked tent that felt like a steam bath, thanks to the sweat of those inside. He treated far more Iraqis than American soldiers. Among them, a pregnant woman who had caught a round in her belly; Iraqi soldiers who were suffering from necrotic flesh on their amputated stumps; a Republi-

can Guard who had buried 200 Iraqis alive; and even a member of Saddam’s 100 who, records showed, had participated in several mass murders of Shia. One of the most poignant cases was a young man whose family was incinerated when American troops fired on their car because they didn’t understand soldiers’ orders to stop. “Though the Constitution says it’s treason to provide aid and comfort to the enemy, that doesn’t extend to the wounded,”

he said. Floyd’s book has been getting a lot of media and other attention across the nation, said Ketchum’s Chapter One Bookstore owner Cheryl Welch. “Timothy Floyd is quite the unusual man,” said longtime friend Timi Ryerson. “He was a runner-up to compete in the biathlon at the Olympics and now he’s an American patriot.” tws

Clockwise from Top Left: Photos: Karen bossick/SUN HOT DOG: This hot dog sculpture, which took its place among a fine art sculpture at Irving’s Hill across from Sturto’s, was a photographer’s mecca Saturday. RALPHIE: Ralphie the Camel upped the excitement quotient among both parade watchers and horses awaiting their trot down Sun Valley Road. SKATER: Nathan Chen, the 12-year-old figure skating prodigy from Salt Lake City who won the U.S. Men’s Novice the past two years, missed the Big Hitch parade as he joined Sasha Cohen and others practicing for Sun Valley’s final ice show of the summer season. But he had his turn to enchant the crowd later that evening. FLIP OUT: Erin and Rose Burbank were among the members of The Papoose Club who wore “Powered by Flapjacks” T-shirts as their reward for flipping hundreds of sourdough Frisbees Saturday and Sunday mornings.

t was a perfect day for what turned out to be a short and imperfect annual Wagon Days parade. We’re a world-class community. We have to remember to honor our guests from all over the state and some neighboring states and give them the best parade possible. We must not take this wonderful event for granted. The parade managed to retain its festive air. The year-afteryear staple anchor entrants were all at their best: the americanas of Rexburg; the always-classy Eh Capa bareback riders; Jose and Jose atop their graceful and well-trained Andalusians; and the Champagne-sipping High Country Peruvian Pasos. Special mention should go to the Atkinsons’-sponsored Smokey the Bear, all decked out with leis of orange and yellow flowers. The Blaine County Historical Museum outdid itself with its black and white theme, period outfits and accents of bright bouquets. The miniature geldings from McCammon and Middleton are always a treat. The Chamber’s Duck Race wagon was a hit as it dispensed rubber duckies to all and sundry along the parade route. And, Ralphie the Bactrian camel, from Idaho Falls, was an odd and elegant addition. It was a warm, breezy day with a nip of fall in the air, comfortable for everyone. The event was short and sweet, and I wanted more! Oh well, it’s the tws economy, stupid!

It was a Mongolian camel named Ralphie that jacked up the exclamation points among parade watchers on Saturday as the Big Hitch parade rolled along the streets of Ketchum in the Pacific Northwest’s largest non-motorized parade. And Ralphie, an 8-year-old Bactrian camel, created a commotion among horses waiting in the staging arena, as well. “They’ve never seen a ‘horse’ like this before,” said Jeral Williams, Ralphie’s owner. Williams, of Idaho Falls obtained Ralphie a little over a year ago. His 12-year-old son Justin rode Ralphie in the parade as Jeral and his wife Jenine walked alongside. “It takes a little getting used to,” said Justin. “I like it better when he has his winter coat because he’s more comfortable then.” Ralphie was one of more than 60 entries in the 52nd Wagon Days parade, which included Earl and Carol Holding riding an 1863 Landeau convertible

And Paul Tillotson waved his white cowboy hat to the crowd of 17,000 between playing piano riffs promoting the upcoming Sun Valley Jazz Festival. Longtime Wagon Days icon Ivan Swaner, this year’s poster boy on commemorative posters for Wagon Days, took the ride as he always does hanging from the side of one of the tall skinny ore wagons as a brakeman. But the 76-year-old Wood River Valley native was rushed to the hospital about 5:30 p.m. Saturday as he suffered a small stroke while presenting a historical talk about the ore wagons. He will undergo rehab at St. Luke’s in Twin Falls. Rod Tatsuno said he was surprised to run into Swaner as he visited the hospital the day after the parade to play his harmonica for patients: “But he seemed in tws good spirits.”

briefs Subaru Trail Care Crew team coming to Valley to spend time digging in the dirt

ballard street comic strip

The Blaine County Recreation District and Wood River Bicycle Coalition have partnered to bring the International Mountain Bicycling Association’s (IMBA) Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew to the Wood River Valley, Sept. 15-18 to talk trails, teach people proper trail-building techniques and spend quality time digging in the dirt. The visit is one of about 70 stops on their 2011 schedule. The award-winning Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program includes two full-time, professional teams of trail experts who travel North America year-round, leading IMBA Trail-Building Schools, meeting with government officials and land managers and working with IMBA-affiliated groups to improve local mountain biking opportunities. IMBA’s crews have led more than 1,000 trail projects since the program debuted in 1997.

The IMBA Trail Care Crew visit will consist of a meeting with local land managers on Friday, Sept. 16. In addition to that, there will be two public events consisting of a “Better Living Through Trails� Seminar on Thursday, Sept. 15 and an IMBA Trail Building School on Saturday, Sept. 17. The Trail Building School session is a three-hour classroom session in the morning followed by a field session in the afternoon. Lunch will be provided. Long pants, close-toed shoes, sunscreen and plenty of water are recommended. Both of these events are open to the public and participants are encouraged to register by visiting the IMBA registration page at the following address: https://www.imba.com/ civicrm/event/info?id=147&reset=1 or contact: Greg Martin (208) 720-3442 or wrbikecoalition@gmail.com

And That’s the Way it Is‌ Conversations with Cronkite By KAREN BOSSICK

I

n retrospect, Walter Cronkite said, he never should have used his famous sign-off, “And that’s the way it is,� because it presumed that everything he said was right. And that wasn’t the case with the Vietnam War, he noted. But his adoring public never called it into question—who would challenge “the most trusted man in America�?! That’s one of the behind-thescene stories Don Carleton reveals about the dean of America’s news anchors in his book, “Conversations with Cronkite.� Carleton will talk about helping Cronkite write his best-selling autobiography, “A Reporter’s Life,� and his subsequent book, which features revelations that didn’t make it into the first, at 6 p.m. Tuesday at The Community Library. The next evening Carleton will screen “When I Rise,� a film he and Alison Beck made about a black music student who was thrust into a civil rights storm in the 1950s when she was cast with a white male classmate in an opera. That presentation will also start at 6 p.m. And, like the Cronkite presentation, it is free. Don Carleton is director of the University of Texas-Austin’s Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, which holds nearly 300 linear feet of Cronkite’s personal and professional papers. The papers cover how Cronkite studied journalism at the University of Texas in the

1930s but dropped out to make money doing small jobs for radio stations and newspapers. He broadcast Oklahoma college football games, then became a war correspondent during World War II where he covered the Battle of the Bulge and sometimes manned machine guns as he flew aboard B-17 bombers over Germany. After covering the Nuremberg trials, he was assigned to the then-new medium of television. Carleton’s “Conversations with Cronkite,� done in questionanswer format, has been called “engrossing� and “revealing.� It tells how Fidel Castro chided Communism for its failure to take care of buildings and other property. “People don’t own things so they don’t take care of them,� Castro told Cronkite. And it tells how Cronkite considered his coverage of the space program one of his proudest achievements. “The surprise was that he was such an authentic person. The image on screen was the same as what you found off screen,� said Carleton, who also has written “Red Scare,� “A Breed So Rare: The Life of J.R. Parten—Liberal Texas Oil Man,� and other books. “He was exactly the way I wanted him to be.� Cronkite, a devoted family man who loved to sail at Martha’s Vineyard, was very aware that he had been uniquely positioned, Carleton said. There were only two sources of news—CBS and NBC—when he became CBS news anchor. “He had a captive audience

Walter Cronkite

and for that he was grateful—he realized he in no way would have been such a dominant news presence today. He was honored people considered him the most trusted man in America, although it was a little bit of a burden because he had to be so much more aware of what he said in public.� Cronkite was a very competitive person who always liked to win, Carleton said. But his successor saw him as a threat and cut Cronkite out of co-anchoring political conventions and national elections following his retirement. That was very disappointing to him, Carleton said. Cronkite, who died in 2009, was very depressed and pessimistic about the state of TV news in America today, in part because he said it is no longer delivered objectively. “Fox and MSNBC drove him crazy. He said Fox News clearly is just an arm of the Republican Party,� Carleton said. “His did, however, like the PBS News Hour.� tws

movie review

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will experience at least three instances of magic this week. While the world around you will seem blind to what’s going on, you will have the vision to recognize these moments for what they are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Part of you wants to wake up for an early morning jog before you scurry off to work. The other part of you wants to comfortably slumber in your warm cocoon of a bed. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The energy of striving and trying too hard could actually be preventing you from getting what you want. You are enough. What you’ve lived has been great, and you just haven’t recognized it yet. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Scientific studies suggest that self-control is an exhaustible resource. Even though you have more of it than others around you, you can’t expect yourself to resist temptation forever. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You cannot be totally free unless you give total freedom to those around you. You realize just how futile it is to require that people react to you in a certain way. People do what they do, and you accept it. You will feel liberated by this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Expecting to feel happy all the time is a sure way to experience disappointment. You are willing to let your feelings flow naturally and take the good, bad and ugly as it comes. Your maturity will attract those who need help and those who have help to give. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There will be a few black holes to navigate around this week. They will come in

the form of people, thought patterns or situations that are too dangerous to risk going anywhere near, lest their irresistible forces suck you in. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The past may feel more beautiful to you than the present. Looking back connects you to emotions you didn’t understand and only half-felt at the time. You had to be guarded going through the moment. Now time acts as a buffer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Someone will share his or her exciting news. You may not be as enthusiastic about this development, but you’ll try to keep up a happy appearance for the other person. You’re emotionally bigger than the circumstance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whatever seems readily available is perceived as less valuable -- a complexity of human nature that you can use to your advantage now. You’ll be less available and more mysterious. You’ll get people to compete for your attention. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You genuinely want to serve humanity, though you don’t necessarily think in those terms as you go about your daily business. All you want is a fair shake. You give to others and enjoy the benefits of being a contributing member of society. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It gets harder to be your best when you’ve spent your reserves of energy on dealing with your own pain and stress. That’s why whatever you can do to alleviate your problems will improve the fates of your loved ones, colleagues and perhaps even the general public. tws

Our Idiot Brother doesn’t disappoint Jon rated this movie

By JONATHAN KANE

T

he new comedy Our Idiot Brother more than surpasses expectations. On the surface, it seems to be a generic tale of a man who dances to a different drummer and is frowned upon by proper society. In this genre, at the end, everyone learns to see the world through his eyes and renounces society’s mores. Although there are touches of this in the movie, what sets this one apart is the superlative script that is both genuinely funny as well as painting real characters that are three dimensional and who we care deeply about. This is no small task in today’s Hollywood cinema. A lot of this due to the deft direction of Jesse Peretz but even more so to the excellent casting of all the principals in the film. Chief among them is

the star Paul Rudd who plays a gentle man-child who puts more trust in human nature than he probably should. At the beginning of the film he goes to jail for selling marijuana to a police officer—not undercover, mind you, but a uniformed officer, because the officer tells him he’s had a bad week and Rudd can’t resist helping out. When he’s freed, he finds himself thrown out of the house by his girlfriend and forced to turn to his family for help. The bulk of the story covers him innocently screwing up the lives of his three sisters played wonderfully by Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks (who could be Parker Posey’s twin sister) and Zooey Deschanel. All three are marvelous and each brings an individual portrait to their character. In the end, things get reconciled and the movie ends kind of cute but the comedy has some real out-loud laughs and a depth of feeling not found in most comedies today. A lot of credit also goes to Rudd who continues to be a tremendous presence on the big screen and who gives a great performance in the film. The movie is one to definitely check out. tws

ute practice they were smooth enough to stand their own against other bladers, even if they weren’t anywhere close to challenging Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto for Olympic gold. Dear has been skating with Sun Valley’s ice shows for six years, lured by the chance to skate at one of the only outdoor ice rinks in North America during the summer. “Even the indoor rink has windows—something most ice rinks don’t have,” said Dear, a 30year-old silver medalist in U.S. Nationals who has taken up golf, tennis and even skiing since coming to Sun Valley. “And the outdoor rink is one big window. It’s such an amazing venue.” In between Sun Valley’s gigs, Dear has spent as much as nine months at a time on tour across places like Europe. And he’s choreographed routines for oth-

BLM State Director Joins Local Riders Thursday Bureau of Land Management Idaho State Director Steve Ellis will join representatives of the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), area residents, and federal and local government officials to mark completion of the Croy Creek system of trails in the Wood River Valley. Riders are invited to gather at the Croy Creek trailhead in Hailey, just off Bullion Gulch, at 4 p.m. this Thursday, Sept. 8. “This trail system demonstrates perfectly that BLM public lands are great places for being in the outdoors, and getting and staying healthy,” Ellis

said. “In fact, we built it in response to requests from local residents for more trails on public lands, closer to town. I’m looking forward to riding out with some of those who are already enjoying the rewards and challenges these trails offer.” Chris Leman, an IMBA trail specialist who lives in Sun Valley, coordinated the trail work. “Collaboration among various agencies, groups and individuals is what brought this trail system into being,” he said. “I hope riders of all ages will join us on the 8th to celebrate the hard work and dedication these trails represent.”

Riders should assemble at the trailhead by 4 p.m. After brief remarks, Ellis and Leman will proceed onto the trail with other riders who wish to join. The Croy Creek system is a network of 22 miles of trail on BLM-managed public lands west of Hailey. Construction was completed in June with the opening of the Punchline trail, a oneway downhill flow trail with rock features, berms, jumps and step-ups. Directions to trailhead from Hailey: From Main Street in Hailey, travel west on Bullion Street/Croy Creek Road 3.5 miles. The trailhead is on the righthand side of the road.

Now let your arms go where they’re comfortable,’ ” Alcamo said. “I’m working very hard to remind myself this is all in fun,” said Key, who has been practicing up to three times a day. “And I’m getting better.

ine local celebs will be paired with nine pros in a skate to the finish Saturday night when the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club presents Battle of the Blades. The event, patterned after “Dancing with the Stars,” will have the celebs competing on ice for $3,000 in cash prizes for the local non-profit of their choice. Company of Fools Board President Liz Brown and Andre Khvalko , for instance will compete for Company of Fools and Sagebrush Arena’s therapeutic equestrian program; Hailey dentist Ron Fairfax and Elena Leonova, for Hailey Ice; Mat Gershater and Kim Selby, for Greenscool and Idaho Base Camp, and Hemingway Elementary School principal Don Haisley and Natalie Zaitseva, for Hemingway’s publishing house. The Community School Director David Holmes and Darlin Baker will compete on behalf of The Community School; Sun Valley Ski Education Coach Doran Key and Joel Dear, for the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley; SkierCross racer Langley McNeal and Kelly South, for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation; goat expert Nappy Neaman and Ashley Clark, for Galena Lodge and the Blaine County Recreation District, and VAMPS Founder Muffy Ritz and Eddie Gornick, for the VAMPS Scholarship Fund. “The tough part is looking

graceful,” said Ritz, who survived a rogue wave generated by Hurricane Irene in Nantucket to compete in the event. Winners will be chosen in part by applause meter and in part by local judges. And the audience will be entertained with post-performance interviews, comments from the judges and other surprises. The night will also feature live music by professional singer Tyia Wilson who will rock the arena while members of the figure skating club perform. And there’ll be a raffle for two season ski passes from Sun Valley (tickets are $5 for one or $20 for five, available at the event and around town). The event starts at 8 p.m. at Sun Valley’s outdoor ice rink. Admission is $20 for adults, $10 for youth. Front row seats are $35 and VIP reception and lawn seating is $75. Tickets are available online at www.battleoftheblades.org and at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and TheYellow Brick Road in tws Hailey.

briefs Ketchum’s local brewery plans opening events in September and October After submitting their permit application in May, Sawtooth Brewery has just received a Federal Alcohol Tobacco and Trade Bureau permit to begin beer production at their current site on the north end of downtown Ketchum. While the brewery is still waiting for state and local permits to begin full operations, Sawtooth Brewery is now able to begin planning their opening and tap room facilities. The brewery plans on beginning by featuring the beer at local events during the Sun Valley Harvest Festival Sept. 23-25. The tap room opening, originally planned for November 11, will be moved forward to October. The brewery and tap room is located at 600 North Main Street in downtown Ketchum. During the Harvest Festival, the Sawtooth Brewery plans to be on hand at Ketchum Town Square on Friday evening for the beginning of the

restaurant walk serving our first beer and selling merchandise. Beer will also be available at The Cornerstone Bar and Grill on Saturday for the Harvest Festival dinners. Brewery owners Paul Holle and Kevin Jones will be on hand throughout the evening to discuss the new brewery and their beers as well. On Sunday, expect to see Sawtooth Brewery at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge throughout the afternoon with more beer samples. Visit www.sunvalleyharvestfestival.com for more details and to buy tickets.

Adult Stem Cells

To Rake or Not to Rake?

By Tom Crais, MD

H

ave you ever sat in family antique furniture and imagined what life was like for your ancestors? As I write this article, sitting on my grandparent’s century old furniture, I can hardly imagine the human life and health span a century from now. Perhaps the furniture will still be here when most of us will not. We are well aware of the fact that human life expectancy has been extended by approximately 25 years since 1900. With the onset of “regenerative medicine,� perhaps life-span will be extended even more. Moreover, the quality of life (healthspan) already seems to be improving for many thanks to the research in ADMSC (Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells). These stem cells in contradistinction to controversial embryonal stem cells actually come from our own fat tissue. We have been using such adult stem cell technology for over 50 years in bone marrow transplants. As previously mentioned in my prior article, over the last decade fat has proven to be an excellent source of stem cells and their accompanying growth factors. At the recent IFATS (International Federation of Adipose Therapies and Science), reports from plastic surgery members of the Armed Forces Association of Regenerative Medicine (AFARM) reported on many reconstructive surgical uses of ADMSC’s. However, one most interesting phenomenon was that of treating post injury painful nerve scars. With this treatment nerve regeneration was noted and diminution of or obliteration of pain occurred in many situations. Other surgeons at this meeting showed impressive cases of painful irradiation injuries after cancer treatment being restored to near normal painless skin after the instillation of these simple little fatty tissue components called stem cells, along with their accompanying growth factors. To be certain, the effects from this so called “stromovascular tissue component� have not been proven to be from the stem cells nor from the associated growth factors. However, the effects are impressive in numerous areas of multidisciplinary regenerative medicine. It seems that the regenerative capacity either comes from the growth factors or the stem cells or from both. I was excited to learn of the regenerative effects on peripheral nerves because of the possible effects on the CNS (central nervous system) because so many of our current quality of life issues revolve around diminution of the system which controls the quality of our life at every level, our brain. The warehouse for our knowledge, our brain, is what we must use to pursue and maintain life Many years ago upon entering the practice of plastic surgery in New Orleans I realized that much of the “research oriented� surgical knowledge that I learned almost a decade before in Boston as a general surgery resident was just making its

way into the clinical practice of surgery in non-university affiliated community practice. So also today, as I research and learn of the developments in stem cell research, I realize that although much work is being done it may be several years before these therapies become common place clinical medicine. However, with the advent of computer technology and the Internet that avails us knowledge almost instantly, hopefully knowledge dissemination will be much quicker than in the past. For example, recently published in the Journal of Stem Cells was an article which showed that induced stem cells (i.e. stimulation of our own stem cells) can be directed to develop into light sensing cells of the retina. Perhaps this work will lead to better treatment of human blindness such as in macular degeneration (the most common cause of blindness after age 60). Similarly, advanced cutting edge research has been reported at both Stanford and at Columbia Universities on making functional nerve cells directly from human skin cells (again “induced� stem cells). Furthermore, laboratory animal work continues in the areas of low oxygen induced injuries to the brain (e.g., stroke) and spinal cord injuries. Most of this work is still in the laboratory animal phase of investigation and although researchers have made progress in treatment of disorders of the central and peripheral nerve injuries, this is still a major challenge for regenerative medicine. However, promising research in South Korea and Scotland has been done on small numbers of patients in which injection of stem cells directly into diseased brains as well as intravenously has been done.

ou’re either an avid leaf raker, or have a “let-themlieâ€? ethic. The joy of jumping into leaf piles, or staying in good stead with your neighbors, could be compelling reasons to rake. Trees such as maples drop lots of big leaves, which might smother perennials and lawn if left in place over the winter. Make leaves disappear without raking by mowing them periodically as they drop onto the grass, introducing organic material directly into the lawn. If you rake them up, chop the pile with a shovel, or run through a shredder. A collar of this mulch will protect your perennials for the winter, or you could store the shreds, to add to your compost next spring, layering with green materials or manure for best decomposition. No matter what your personality profile vis-Ă -vis raking, please don’t use a leaf blower (a rake provides good exercise, prevents air and noise pollution); burn the leaves (air pollution, fire danger, and city codes are three good reasons); or send them to the landfill via your trash can at the curb. (Better choices are taking them to Ohio Gulch for composting there or calling a gardener friend, who might be thrilled at a windfall of nature’s bounty.) tws

Fast Facts Tricked Out

Dear Classified Guys, My four brothers and I decided to get my Mom a new car for her 60th birthday. Our idea was to drive the new car until it had 60 miles on the odometer to match her 60th birthday. While we thought this was easy with a new car, the car we picked out at the dealership already had 85 miles on it. The dealer said the car is still considered "New". But with that many miles on it already, shouldn't it be considered "used". After all, I doubt my Mom would consider herself "New" at 85.

• • • Cash: I doubt if she'd appreciate being referred to as "used" either, so I'd be careful how you present that new car. No gift can make up for insulting a woman's age. Carry: My wife taught me that lesson years ago. Now on her birthday cake, I make sure to never have more than 29 candles. Cash: I commend you on the great idea of driving the new car until it had 60 miles. It would have been a great surprise for your Mom. However, a car with 85 miles does not have to be considered "used".

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 09/04/11 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Carry: The laws in each state

govern what is considered a "new" or "used" vehicle. In your state of Virginia, if the dealer drove the car in order to transfer it from one dealership to another or from their storage facility to the showroom, then the car would accumulate mileage, but still be considered "new". Cash: However, if the vehicle were test driven by another customer or sold and returned, then the car would have to be classified as "used". Carry: Typically a car arrives at the dealer with up to ten miles on it. These first few miles are

often accumulated as a function of quality checks performed by the manufacturer or from transporting the vehicle to get it to the dealership. Cash: Since the 85 miles concern you, talk it over with your dealer. He can explain where those 85 miles came from and maybe even compensate you for the additional mileage on the car. After all, a good dealer will typically do something to insure that you leave a happy customer. Carry: And if not, just see what he says when you ask him to turn back the odometer by driving it 15 miles in reverse!

Considering the high price of a new car, it pays to protect it from theft. Here is one trick that is used to deter thieves from stealing your car. Have the car's VIN number etched into the corner of all your windows. This process only takes a few minutes, but can help prevent your car from being stolen. The thieves would have to replace all the glass in addition to the VIN labels. That's enough for them to leave your car alone. As an added benefit, some insurance companies will even offer a discounted premium.

Odorless

Almost everyone loves the fresh smell of a new car. But what is that intoxicating scent? You may be surprised to learn that wellknown smell is actually a combination of the adhesive and sealers used to affix the fabric and plastic inside your car. As these adhesives dry, they release residual solvents into the air that fill the passenger compartment. The aroma dissipates over time as the gases escape through open doors and windows. •

Reader Humor Ala Carte

I was working as a doorman at a fancy restaurant when a woman came rushing inside in a panic. She accidentally locked herself out of her car and needed help getting it unlocked. Happy to help, I told her the restaurant had a Slim Jim for just such occasions. I grabbed the tool as she told me it was the red car parked outside. Since it was raining, she waited inside while I went out to open the door. A few minutes later I returned and happily said, "You're all set, but you'll have to turn off your car alarm." I was a bit shocked when she replied, "I'd love to, but MY car doesn't have an alarm." (Thanks to Ralph C.)
