The industry is approaching $10 billion in sales as the sport is catching on even in landlocked mid-America. Even Costco started selling stand-up boards this summer. Paddleboarding challenges participants with a balancing act that strengthens the muscles of the legs, buttocks, stomach, back, shoulders and arms. Triathletes are using them for cross-training. And some yoga instructors are even conducting classes on paddleboards, according to The Wall Street Journal. Though Pacific Islanders and Venetians have long stood in boats using poles or pole-like paddles, the most contemporary

Hooves over Hokies By KAREN BOSSICK
K
etchum residents Julie and Richard Dahlgren will return in triumph today after surviving Monday night’s hard-hitting contest between the Boise State Broncos and the Virginia Tech Hokies. But their first stop will probably be for a hearing aid. “I’ve seen a lot of football games, but that was definitely the loudest stadium I’ve ever been in. The Hokies are very noisy and they’re also very physical, jumping up and down. You couldn’t hear yourself think,” said Julie Dahlgren, Blaine County School Board president and a student at BSU where she is studying for a doctorate in educational policy. The couple spent nearly three days traveling on a train from Salt Lake City to Washington, D.C. Then they joined some 20,000 other Idahoans clad in blue and orange seeing the D.C. sights as they awaited the big game. At FedExField, which at 85,000 seats is nearly three times the size of BSU’s 32,000seat stadium, Julie found herself texting to family and friends, including Boise School District clerk Laurie Kaufman who kept looking on TV for the BSU cap that is always firmly planted on Richard’s head. Julie was not alone –everyone, she said, was texting and taking pictures with smart phones between plays. But Dahlgren pulled her fingers away from the phone during the final drive that resulted in a 13-yard game winning touchdown from Kellen Moore to Austin Pettis with seconds left. “I kept my fingers crossed during that play,” she said. Was she nervous? “I was calm, very calm. That drive was classic BSU—very calm. It’s admirable to be that calm in those circumstances.” twp

he sliver of a moon that hung in the late morning sky Friday morning didn’t stay lonely for long. By 11:30, dozens of pink, lavender, yellow and white paragliders by: Karen swung through the Bossick skies above Canyon ski run, their fabric wings mimicking the shape of the moon until at times it was difficult to determine which one was the moon and which one was a paraglider. Eighty-eight pilots took off Friday morning as part of the week-long U.S. National Paragliding Championships being held on Baldy. Dozens more people hiked up Baldy or rode the chairlift to the top for a closer look in a look-see that really seemed to impress youngsters. Fliers took off from a spot a hundred yards down Christmas Bowl since it was deemed safer than launching from the top of Baldy. twp

Voyage, travel, and change of place impart vigor.
Blaine gets 21st Century education By KAREN BOSSICK
B
laine County Schools Superintendent Lonnie Barber put a picture of his daughter on the screen in front of the Community Campus auditorium as he prepared to send his teachers out into the 2010-11 school year. “My daughter is in the fifth grade. I hope you will be her captain and a captain of all our kids,” he told the teachers as he quoted the famed Walt Whitman poem. “It’s not about content. It’s about love of learning.” Blaine County schoolchildren were greeted by a couple new pilot programs as they returned to school Tuesday. Hemingway Elementary School is trying out a healthy, sustainable lunch menu that will include as much locally produced food as possible, including bread from Bigwood Bread. And Carey School and Hemingway Elementary School are introducing a Leader in Me program to help students build a winning attitude. But district-wide, the big focus will be on teaching kids the love of learning versus stuffing them with facts. The pendulum has swung the other way in the Blaine County
School District as teachers shift from teaching students facts to teaching them how to learn, said Bellevue Elementary Principal Angie Martinez. “We became more content-focused because of No Child Left Behind,” said Martinez. “Now we’re moving away from memorization and regurgitating facts. There’s so much knowledge and content out there today and we need to teach our students how to access that information and how to determine what’s useful information and what’s not so good.” One of the tools Blaine County teachers will use to do this is project-based learning, which they will learn through Buck Institution for Education, a California consulting firm founded to help schools teach skills that will be useful for the 21st century. Buck spokesman David Roth said project-based learning is not the same as activity-based learning, in which a child might simply construct a model of a castle to illustrate life in the medieval age. Rather, students collaborate to research solutions to a problem or to construct a project such as an airplane wing. In the process, they learn how to think critically about real world

problems and they learn that there are many ways to solve a problem. Project-based learning focuses on communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity and encourages children to learn by experimenting — and sometimes failing — in projects that have real-life relevancy and application, said Roth. It asks, “How does technology make war in Afghanistan more or less humane?” rather than

“How has technology affected world history?” It asks, “How can we design a theater with the greatest number of seats, given certain specifications, instead of “How do architects use geometry?” Such learning fits with the school district’s master plan to teach its students 21st century skills, said Barber, “The reality is, it’s not just 21st century learning. It’s just good learning.” twp

briefs Sun Valley to host USA Cycling Natls. in 2011 and ‘12
Sun Valley, Idaho has been selected as the 2011 and 2012 hosts of USA Cycling’s premier USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships. Kelli Lusk, National Events Director for USA Cycling informed the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber & Visitors Bureau (SVKCVB) that Sun Valley’s bid was selected for USA Cycling Cross country, Shorttrack and Super D Mountain Bike National Championships. Kelli mentioned she appreciates the enthusiasm the community has shown for Championships. Distinct pro and amateur level courses will be constructed on Dollar Mountain beginning this fall. The Sun Valley Resort Marketing Group, Inc. added their support sending representatives to attend the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships held in July in Granby, CO. Attendees included the Mayor of Sun Valley, Wayne Willich, Jennifer Biondi from the Bike Ranch at the Idaho Smoky Mountain Lodge and Carrie Westergard from the Sun Valley/Ketchum CVB. Long-time CVB Board Member Greg Peterson was also in Granby and contributed to the effort. Greg’s attended countless USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships with his nationally ranked pro-rider son, Cody Peterson. The Sun Valley delegation clearly communicated the area’s commitment to host the 2011 and 2012 events. SV Area resident, Smith Optics Marketing Communications Manager and former mountain bike pro, Greg Randolph adds, “Sun Valley is a true mountain town with a rich heritage and strong mountain bike community. An event like the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships is a great way to introduce the US mountain Breakaway Promotions is honored to be selected as the race organizer for the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in Sun Valley. We will create a course and competitive experience that will make this event memorable for any rider,” states Chad Sperry, Race Director An event of this level carries an operational and marketing cost of over $100,000 and projects an annual economic impact of over $1 million dollars - with an estimated 3,000 new visitors the first year. Net of entry fees there’s a projected deficit of $20,000-$40,000. The Sun Valley/Ketchum CVB are welcoming sponsors at levels of $25,000 to $1,000 as offsets. Sponsors will benefit from national exposure to new visitors and targeted demographics associated with a world class event.

ack in the day, during the peak earning years, armed with a by: BALI SZABO degree and professional aplomb, in my deck of cards, humility was the deuce of clubs. I was the epitome of the joke, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You can always tell a Harvard man, you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell him much.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Success has a way of making us think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bulletproofâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;take your pick from the parade of famous to whom this applies. As I write this, CNBC is addressing the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;arrogance of power.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was in 1976 that I got a glimpse of this truth. With 12 others. plus 30 support personnel, I went on a 30-day trek in a remote area of the Himalayas rarely visited by outsiders. There were several well-heeled, successful people on the trip. I was the lone â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hippie.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Early on, there was a lot of heabutting going on about schedules and priorities. The bosses were used to being bosses. Our leader was Jack Turner, now a well-known Western author, Exuum mountain guide and a good friend of Dick Dorworth. He explained that this was a typical problem. Accomplished individuals, out of their element, keep wanting to make decisions theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not qualified to make, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not used to hearing the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Whatever humility spiritual training may, or may not,

bestow, something I could count on came from being a neophyte, a greenhorn, a rookie. I learned that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always important to be learning something, to be vulnerable, to not have answers, to have to depend on outside sources of expertise. This not only breeds humility, but eliminates the fear of not being in control. This in turn allows us to enter new areas so we can continue to grow, to become that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rolling stone that gathers no moss.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gardening is not really about a green thumb. Success is not a given. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like with geniusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; showing up, sweat equity and attention to detail outweigh I.Q. The mind seeks the assurances of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This quest for certainty is one of humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shackles. I keep having to remind myself to embrace the wonder and not the explanation.

This is the fourth dimension of knowledge. All manner of schools are there to teach us the three-dimensional Euclidian world. Experience and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;street smartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complements that. There comes a point where we can put all that aside. Sometimes we learn the most after school. So, at the very moment when we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve arrived, we pitch camp, only to find weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only just begun. After all that, the thirst and the quest continue, only this time thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no university curriculum, no Master Gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course, no certificates, no Lonely Planet Guide to the Beyond, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to pursue. Just open and let it in. We simply have to become a flower. twp

hat is art? That is the question that has followed us through the ages. Is it in the eye of the beholder? Or is it something that has been determined by the tastes of the commercial marketplace? This is also the question posed by the new documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop, and it is answered by one of the most brilliant documentaries ever made.

movie review
This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horoscopes: the new moon is in Virgo = fresh ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are on your own schedule and will go merrily along paying no mind to any imposed timetable. It just so happens that this week you will wind up being early or prompt in regard to the secret expectations of others. However, this is a coincidence that just tends to happen when you march to your own drummer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll jump in even when you know the task is way over your head. Your approach may not be pretty. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flailing your limbs about just to keep afloat. But the fact is, you will keep afloat. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn how to do it. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon be swimming with the ultimate grace. Everyone has to start somewhere. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a tendency to drop your personal ambitions in order to fulfill the demands involved in simply making a living. Going for your dreams and earning enough to sustain a decent lifestyle do not have to be two mutually exclusive pictures.
You can earn money doing what makes your heart sing. Work on it this week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have oodles of time to waste now. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important business to handle. Save yourself the excess drama, and skip the big Wizard of Oz story. Just be appreciative of the home you have and the people who make it good. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to go to Munchkinland in order to get some color in your world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have been thinking about the kind of days you would like to experience. Your imagined ideal day is not so far off from your typical 24-hour cycle, but there are a few key differences. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus on them this week and will find shortcuts to creating the kind of moments you once only dreamed about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You had an idea about what it would be like to know a certain person well, and it turns out the reality isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much like that at all. In some ways, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better -- focus on that. The ways in which this relationship is less than what you wanted it to

be are irrelevant. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Why waste energy wanting people to be other than what they are? There is one person you have had trouble with in the past. You now feel differently. You accept the way he is and do not feel the need to change a thing about him. This person will sense the unconditional love and gravitate toward you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are not blind to the faults of others -- oh, you can see them, all right. But you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let on that you know what they are. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called being a good friend. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also called minding your own business. And you would appreciate it if your friends behaved with the same decorum, although unfortunately some wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are so close to your work that you cannot see it. You have only the most cursory idea about what your talents really are. When you can finally break away from the small picture and mix it up in the big real world, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll experience the broad range of abilities out there and appreciate fully how you fit in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Doing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in front of you and doing it well is easy for you. But to actively seek a role other than the one your parents, friends and colleagues give to you, well, that takes a great deal of initiative, daring and imagination. You have all those qualities in you and more. This is your week to go for it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be the very definition of the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;easy goingâ&#x20AC;? this week. Your opinion wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always match up to the popular one of the moment, and yet you can see why people think the way they do. And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the need to take issue with every discrepancy or social slight. Yours is an all-around fantastic attitude. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may be a bit more forceful than you usually would be about getting your way. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only because you sense so clearly how this will be great for not only you, but for everyone involved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as though you can see into the future. And maybe you can. Now all you have to do is convince the others. twp

Planning an event? Let the Valley know. Send it here by noon on Mondays and we’ll get it in our comprehensive calendar, that everyone is planning their week around. live@theweeklypaper.biz
The Community Library in Ketchum welcomes Dr. Cynthia Anne Hale. Hale will discuss the color red as a unique portal into Carl Jung’s recently-released and highly-acclaimed The Red Book this Thursday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m. Secreted away in a bank vault for a quarter century, Jung’s book is considered by many to be the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology.
Water workshop this weekend Drawing inspiration from work by artist Megan Murphy on view at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, teens will create personal multimedia artworks in this Teen Workshop on Sept. 11. Murphy’s current drawings are studies of water, place, and the West. For the Sun Valley show, she has created a body of work based on photographs of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty and images of clouds. In the class, Murphy will guide teen participants who will be asked to bring images of bodies of water that are important to them, which they will use as the first layer in their own work. The Teen Workshop will meet at The Center in Ketchum on Saturday, Sept. 11, from 12 to 4 p.m. Cost is $10. Space is limited and advance registration is required. To register, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org, call 726.9491, ext. 10 or stop by The Center in Ketchum.
Trout illustrations with Udesen With their graceful shapes and iridescent colors, fish are a favorite subject for many artists. And, in this world of catch-and-release, learning to sketch fish is a great way to memorialize the “trophy fish” you have to throw back! Udesen lives, teaches and makes art in Boise, but travels anywhere the fly fishing is good. “My art is both unique and personal because it combines my love for the mountains, rivers and open spaces with an artistic focus on details. Like a snapshot, I like to capture a second in time that elicits a specific memory,” he says. Trout Illustrations meets Saturday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Center classroom in Hailey. Register at www.sunvalleycenter.org, or 726-9491.

Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Film Fest By JONATHAN KANE
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year again. Fall is in the air and moviegoers are in for a treat as the Magic Lantern Cinema brings their fall film festival to the Valley â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a stellar summer for movies,â&#x20AC;? said the Lanternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Rick Kessler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real thrill to bring in the best films of the last six months for everyone to see.â&#x20AC;? This will be the Lanternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22nd annual festival, runs this Friday, Sept. 10 through Sept. 16 and promises to be one of the best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, people would always ask us why we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing art films, even though we did. So I decided it would be a good idea to lump together a group of films that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting the support of the big studios and promote it as a festival,â&#x20AC;? Kessler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would read about them in the national media but it took forever to get them. Many times we were playing 16 millimeter prints.â&#x20AC;? This year the festival will have eight films in addition to Get Low, starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray, which will be playing in conjunction with the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Low is the type of film that makes me glad to be in the business. In booking
the films, I have to trust my instincts because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this for 36 years. You have to look at the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pedigree. When you have universally excellent reviews, you have to pay attention. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of showing the same movies over and over again. These films are unique. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more pleased with the selections.â&#x20AC;? The festival opens with a bang with the superlative documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop. The other first-week films are Joan Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Piece of Work, which takes a penetrating and hilarious look at the legendary comedienne, and Solitary Man, featuring Michael Douglas in one of his finest performances to date. For the full schedule, as well as reviews and trailers, visit the Magic Lantern website at magiclanterncinemas.com. What makes the festival unique this year is the addition of the two new, beautiful and spacious screening rooms downstairs. According to Kessler, this gives him the flexibility to screen each film for a week rather than a jumbled three-day schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of choices, but people should talk to friends and see what they liked. I think we have something for everyone.â&#x20AC;? twp

Phantom energy loss
D
o you ever wake up at night and find you are guided by twinkling lights, digital displays from appliances and electronic devices. These devices are vampires silently sucking away energy even when they are turned â&#x20AC;&#x153;off.â&#x20AC;? This wasted energy known as phantom energy loss, represents a growing percentage of individual homes electricity use (5%), an estimated 65 billion kw/h of electricity per year. Some of the biggest energy wasters are the adapters of rechargeable cordless phones, cell phones, digital cameras, ipods, power tools, and other electronic devices. They draw power, whether the battery is fully chargedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or even connected. Other culprits include electronics with standby capability (TVs, PC monitors, digital clock displays, microwaves, DVD players, stereo systems). How can you stop it? Unplug your phone, camera, ipod, power tool charger, televi-
sion and attached electronics. Find which one is causing the most energy loss. Simplify: plug all of your home entertainment system and computer components into a power strip. Flip the switch off when not in use. Unplug kitchen appliances with clocks. Surge suppressors still protect against power spikes when plugged in, even if switched off. Alas, some devices like battery backup systems and computer network servers must be left on to work properly. Check labels. Buy products that use the least standby power. Choose Energy Star labels or check online: www.1.eere. energy.gov/femp/technologies/ buyingâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;low_standby.html. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy products with â&#x20AC;&#x153;bells and whistlesâ&#x20AC;?. Please check out the ERCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kill-a-Watt meterâ&#x20AC;? to assess your â&#x20AC;&#x153;phantom powerâ&#x20AC;? from individual appliances. It will show which appliance is the worst twp offender. 726-4333.
The St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood River Foundation is excited to announce it has secured a matching grant for the Alter-G, a state-of-the-art rehabilitation treadmill. Every dollar contributed to the St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood River Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alter-G project will be matched for this project. With the help of local Ketchum champions Jenny Gatehouse and husband Phil Hebert, the St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood River Foundation is working to raise $30,000 to fund the anti-gravity machine that will be available for community use in the St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elks Rehabilitation Department. Because St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood River Medical Center must focus its resources on direct patient care, this wellness-focused enhancement to rehabilitation services will be possible only with philanthropic support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having access to an Alter-G antigravity machine will benefit patient care dramatically,â&#x20AC;? stated Kristin Biggins, manager of St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-Elks Rehab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Alter-G treadmill allows people to improve mobility and health, recover from injury and surgery more effectively, overcome medical challenges that limit movement and enhance physical performance in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;weightlessâ&#x20AC;? and controlled environment.â&#x20AC;?

hen tickets for Salman Rushdie went on sale last fall, they got snapped hot up faster than the iPAD on its by: Karen Bossick release. But, then, the British-Indian novelist and essayist got stuck in New York due to snow there—not here. And the Sun Valley Center for the Arts had to reschedule his lecture. The new time is 6 p.m. Friday in the Sun Valley Pavilion. And the change of venue offered up 1,200 more seats than the previous venue did. That means, yes, there are some seats left up for grabs for anyone wanting to go. General admission is $30 for Center members and $40 for non-members, available at www.ovationtix.com or by calling The Center at 208-726-9491. Most of Rushdie’s fiction is a mix of magical realism and historical fiction set in India. His first novel, “Midnight’s Children,” which follows the life of a child born as India gained its independence, has been called one of the great books of the last hundred years. But his fourth novel, “The Satanic Verses,” literally catapulted him to worldwide attention. It drew death threats from Muslims, including the Ayatollah Khomeini who issued a fatwa against him in 1989 for what they perceived as an irreverent depiction of the prophet Muhammad. Rushdie is currently writing twp his memoir.

eggy Grove has always had a high opinion of bats, thanks to their propensity for eating mosquitoes and other insects. But her awareness of things that go bump in the dark—or the afternoon, in her case—has been heightened following a close encounter with a little winged creature. Grove is one of four Wood River Valley residents who have had to take rabies shots because of encounters with bats in July and August. Grove, of Hailey, said she was walking her dog near the bike path in Bellevue behind Sawtooth Tack and Feed about 5:30 p.m. nearly two weeks ago when something came out of a tree and bopped her on the neck. “It was a little blustery that afternoon—I thought I had been hit by a bird,” she said. Grove said she didn’t think anything more about it until she heard it flap in the middle of the night and the bat flew away from her. “I had brought it home without realizing it. We never did catch it, even though it was in the house,” she said. On average, there are one or two reported bat attacks a year in the state, said Mary Jensen, an epidemiologist with South Central District Health. Last year there were eight contacts in Idaho.
“This may be a bad year,” said Jensen, who says she’s contacted other state agencies in hopes of finding out whether anyone is monitoring the situation. “It could also be that people are just more aware and more are reporting contacts.” Jensen said the fact that the bat that Grove encountered was out in the day indicated that it probably had rabies since bats are normally nocturnal. Bats should not be messed around with, she added. “Bat teeth are so small you can’t always tell if the person’s been bitten, so we prefer to err on the side of treatment.” Grove received the last of five rabies shots on Friday. “It’s not pleasant. They don’t inject the shots into your stomach anymore. But the shots do have to go into your muscle so it does hurt. But the other option is not good. If you don’t get them, you die,” Grove said. There does not have to be a detectable bat bite to constitute a significant exposure. People with rabies develop a tingly or itching shooting from the bite site. They may also experience fever, chills, or muscle aches and trouble swallowing. Eventually, they become extremely ill, going into seizures and coma. The treatment for preventing the virus is effective but must be done before rabies sets in. Grove said she won’t let the bat attack keep her from hiking and walking her dog: “I’ve never been afraid of bats. They’re very important to the environment and for eating insects. But I am more alert now when I notice something flying through the twp air.”

a recipe…from my table to yours
Sarah Rau and her friend Shelly Green take a paddleboard out for a spin. Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP
paddleboarding. ...................................from pg 1 form of stand-up paddleboarding started making waves at Waikiki Beach in the 1960s among surfers who found they could catch waves quicker than those without long paddles “And you know whoever catches the wave first gets first dibs on it,” said Backwoods salesman Taul Paul. Just in the past few years it’s made it to mainland coastal cities like San Diego, as well as inland lakes, ponds and even Class II and III-minus streams and rivers. “It’s a good way to get out there—especially for those who grew up surfing,” said Schaefer. “There’s a big club now in Bend, Ore., that paddleboards on the Deschutes River and nearby lakes. They’re paddleboarding in the whitewater park at Glenwood Springs, Colo. And they’re even beginning to go off waterfalls. It’s like windsurfing and other sports. Once it takes off, people start pushing it to the extremes.” The fiberglass and epoxy paddleboards are thicker, wider and longer than surfboards. They’re 12 to 19 feet long and between 28 and 32 inches at midpoint, which enhances the balance. The rider can sit, kneel or even lay on them. But typically they stand on them, paddling with what looks like an over-long canoe paddle. While Costco’s models start at $429, high-end models such as those Backwoods carries range from about $900 to $1,600. Custom boards can cost as much as $3,000.
They’re also available for rent. Backwoods, for instance, rents them for $20 an hour or $50 a day. Rentals are also available at Redfish Lake. “Surfing’s definitely a foreign idea in Idaho. But people love paddleboarding, even little kids,” said Nick Scrivner. Gove used to surf in Hawaii before moving to Ketchum 19 years ago—“I came to ski and I’m still here,” said the realtor. She decided to give paddleboarding a try while her husband and children went boating on Redfish and quickly found that it was a good workout. “It takes a lot of leg strength and core strength. And a tremendous amount of coordination balancing yourself,” she said. It’s best to start out on your knees to get a feel for it, said Scrivner. The learning curve is quick—most people can begin standing up within minutes. The boards are a little tipsy but not as tipsy as a hardshell kayak. “I love it. I like that you can sit on the board or stand on it,” said 11-year-old Hailey resident Sarah Rau, who tried both solo paddling and sharing a board with her 9-year-old brother David and their friends Shelly and Adrian Green. “It’s a great for families. And it’s a great sport for our community where everyone is into selfpropelled sports,” said Schaefer. “I’ve seen kids who are 3 and 4 paddling along with their dads. And I’ve seen people as old as 75 hop on one.” twp
A few words from Myra
“M
y husband and I have been in Sun Valley for 11 years. We also live in Portland, Oregon. We do the usual here—bike, hike, golf, walk—all the things people love doing here. We love the weather here! I also play Mahjongg with a wonderful group of women. My mother was a wonderful cook and so my two brothers
and I followed in her footsteps. My two grown children also love cooking. In fact, twice a month all the “Portland cousins” gather together and cook at each other’s houses. It’s become a wonderful tradition. Occasionally, the parents are included. I love cooking and baking, but the recipes must be easy and with few ingredients. This cookie recipe is one of those. The dough can be frozen in individual cookies or a log and cut and baked
as needed. I try to always have warm cookies when friends come over. Because you melt the butter in these cookies, they come together very easily and are almost praline-like as a batter. When my daughter was young, she and a girlfriend kept sticking their fingers in this particular cookie dough recipe. I finally gave them each a soup bowl full of dough. Yep, I think that was their last time “licking the bowl!” twp

Melt the butter on the stovetop and put in large bowl of electric mixer. Add the sugars and mix until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix in with spatula about 12 ounces (2 cups or so) of the following: baking chips (any type chocolate, white butterscotch, etc.); M & Ms; any crunched candy; oatmeal; raisins; nuts. Bake at 375º for about 10 minutes, or until the doneness you prefer. Enjoy! In a pinch, you don’t need an electric mixer. Mixes nicely with a spatula! You can also cut the recipe in half, as this makes about 50 cookies with a small ice cream scoop—the perfect size!

To Your Health
I
would be lying if I said I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about Max Rudolph everyday. But you know how one day follows another and in no time at all six weeks had passed and no word from Max. I would think of him most often when I was out on my morning walks, imagining him on some fun adventure he would magically turn into a learning experience or just out for a hike with his dog Bud. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling confident I let myself reminisce about our adventure with our students at the very beginning of the summer when Max and I came so close to kissing before I accidently hit the panic button on my car and the horn blared waking all the kids up in the middle of the night. Then I check myself and return to the reality that is; if Max wanted to be with me he would have called by now. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to read the book or see the move â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Just Not That Into Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to figure out I have no relationship with the man with whom I believe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in loveâ&#x20AC;Ś. So, onward and upward I must go. This Saturday morning Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m picking up my friend Nancy and her handsome and single brother, Chance, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up to a friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family cabin at Petit Lake to relax and chill out for the final three-day weekend of the summer. As much as I love my Wood River Valley it does get a little claustrophobic on occasion. An excursion into the mountains with good friends is the perfect remedy. Besides, next week the new school year begins and I will no doubt be seeing Max Rudolph on a daily basis. That will present me with a whole new set of circumstances. Summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over Amy, I tell myself, time to grow up and move on! twp

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I went to an estate sale and found a 2000 Camaro in mint condition with only 5,000 miles on it. The owner told me that his grandmother, of all people, bought the sports car new and drove it for only two years before she passed away. Most of the family didn't even know she had it in the garage. It's been sitting there until the family got around to cleaning out the house. The price is unbelievable for it's condition, but I'm concerned since the car hasn't been driven for the past three years. What problems should I be looking for? Am I getting a deal or a headache?

Cash: Sounds like good ol'
grandma had a wild side. I guess if you're only going to drive a car to church on Sunday, you might as well be noticed when you pull in the parking lot! Carry: If everything is in good working order, you probably found a great car. These are the kind of deals we love to find, where the item was stored away and now the owner just wants to find it a new home. Cash: It looks like the most
Fast Facts Road Worthy
Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 09/05/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®
important question is already answered: "Where was the car stored?" A car kept in a dry place out of the sun is always best and will have the least age-related problems. Carry: If you have the chance, check out the garage where it was stored to see if it's dry or damp. A damp garage can cause rust on the undercarriage, wheel wells and even in the trunk. Cash: With only 5000 miles, we'd expect all the parts to be original. So your next step is to just make sure everything is in good working order. Since it hasn't been driven in awhile, start it up, check the brakes, and take it for a 20 to 30 minute test drive.
The car may run rough at first, but if it's in good shape it should run smoother as your ride progresses. Carry: Plan on replacing the battery and all of the fluids: oil, transmission, radiator, etc. Fill up the gas tank right away and add a fuel injector cleaner or octane booster as well. Gas that sits for a long time looses its octane and can gum up the fuel injectors. Mixing in these additives can help prevent any problems. Cash: The tires may need replacing as well, but that's a small price to pay for a car that's in pristine condition. Carry: And who knows, maybe you'll have an urge to drive it to church next Sunday.
Commuting has become a way of life for many people and can rack up thousands of miles on your car. Include the trips to the grocery store, movies and vacations, and we spend a lot of hours behind the wheel. It's estimated that the average American twodriver family makes over 4000 trips in their car each year. That adds up to traveling more than 22,600 miles, equivalent to driving from New York to California seven times. Now that’s a long commute!
Lights Out
If you put your car in storage, don't expect the battery to last. Car batteries are designed to be discharged quickly and then recharged using your car's electrical system. When a car battery remains unused for long periods of time, the battery continues to sulfate, diminishing its life by forming crystals on the lead plates of the battery. Even recharged, a battery that has been completely drained just a few times can send you back to the auto store for a replacement. •

Reader Humor Parental Guidance
The other day I ran into an old friend I hadn't seen in awhile. As we caught up on recent events, I told him how I had to sell my Mom's car because she was no longer able to drive safely. Surprisingly, he shared that he had the same problem with his mother a few months back. "Although, she refused to give up her driver's license," he explained. As he went on with his saga, I asked him how he finally got her to give up driving. "Well, she agreed to give up her license after she ran into the cow." "A cow!" I gasped. "How could she hit a cow?" "Well," he laughed, "that's what happens when you drive into a barn." (Thanks to Grant M.)

52 Annual Wagon Days Pulls Away nd
By: BALI SZABO
L
ike the Fourth, it was a breezy, sunny day, and the people of Ketchum/Sun Valley finally hit the streets. It was a long, hard day for the horses, but it was party time for everyone else. Like usual, the High Country Peruvian Paso riders toasted us with Champagne. The numerous, unfurled American flags whipped in the gusts. The parade featured the usual cross-section of local society and plenty of wonderful visitors, from Switzerland to Rexburg and Boise. The horses and the antique wagons were magnificent, and often harkened back to the days of American craftsmanship. A big hit were the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pooper scoopersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;members of the Sun Valley Suns hockey teamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who, on roller-skates and armed with shovels, kept the parade route clean. The Wood River High School cheerleaders are heading for Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Easter Day Parade and have a standing invitation to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. The Americana riders of Rexburg came to town in full regalia. The most imaginative entry belonged to the Inn at the Ellsworth Estate in Hailey. Two gentlemen coolies hauled a convertible rickshaw and a handmade brass poster bed. The folks leading the mini team wagon from Jerome were bigger than the horses. Ah, just another day in Paradise. twp
