Bellevue Library Benefit Concert

By KAREN BOSSICK

L

ibraries have famously been known as a place to hush. But don’t tell that to R.L. Rowsey and Janis Walton. The two celebJanis Walton rity songbirds will sing to the treetops on behalf of the Bellevue Library Friday evening. The inaugural Friends of the Bellevue Library Gala Benefit Concert will kick off with appetizers and drinks at R.L. Rowsey 6:15 p.m., followed by a concert in Bellevue City Park beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at the Bellevue Public Library, The Bead Shop, Isadora, Oak Street, Sun Valley Garden Center, Saddletree Gallery, Chapter One Bookstore and Iconoclast Books, or by calling 788-2128. Rowsey is no amateur. He’s spent the past 30 years as an artist. Before joining Company of Fools—Hailey’s award-winning theater company—he served as musical director and conductor for many national tours, including “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Sing– Betsy Castle ing in the Rain” and “Kiss of the Spider- Library Board President woman.” A former voice teacher with The Kennedy Center’s Theatre for Young People, The Studio Conservatory of Washington, D.C., and the Columbia School of Theatrical Arts, Rowsey currently teaches vocal students at Wood River High School and the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Music School. Walton, who has been on stage since she was three, comes from a long line of Hollywood and vaudeville stars—her great-grandmother was in Ziegfield’s first Broadway show. She’s appeared in several local theater productions, including “Nunsense” and “Oliver.” And, like Rowsey, she’s teaches voice for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music and at Wood River High School. Walton and Rowsey will sing a duet from “Sound of Music,” as well as a few other duets. They will also sing such songs as “The Impossible Dream,” “I Won’t Mind,” and “On My

The Harvest Heads Photo & Story BY KAREN BOSSICK

H

e’s the “everything plus the kitchen sink” kind of guy who can combine refrigerator leftovers like veggie burgers with the waning produce in the garden to come up with a grilled zucchini succotash utilizing onions, mushrooms and bell peppers folded in a tortilla. She’s the type whose idea of a fun Saturday night at the University of Vermont was to prepare a meal for friends, the menu and table setting planned days in advance. Somehow Ed Sinnott and Heidi Ottley have managed to parlay their divergent takes on food into the Sun Valley Harvest Festival. The second go-around of that festival kicks off Thursday with a Carnivore’s Dream five-course dinner and continues through Sunday with a Restaurant Walk, cooking demonstrations served up by local and national chefs, a martini and caviar party, a Dutch oven competition, a tasting and a marketplace boasting food products, cooking utensils and wines from the Treasure Valley, Eastern Idaho and the Snake River Plain. Sinnott and Ottley call themselves “foodies through and through.” They watch the “Food Network” Sunday mornings, then run out to their backyard to pluck some red and Yukon gold potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, lettuce and herbs to experiment with the ideas taking root in their heads. “Summer’s a big salad and whatever we can throw on the grill,” said Sinnott, who circumvents the short growing season in his backyard a couple of miles south of Ketchum by starting plants at his Clearwater Landscaping nursery. When they’re not cooking at home, the two relish trips on the road where they look for the next great chefs for the festival, whom they then lure to Sun Valley with the prospects of a fly-fishing and mountain biking vacation. This fall they plan to take a foodie tour of Europe where they’ve included a chocolate walking tour and a cooking class that starts off each day at the market on their itinerary. Then it’s back home to Idaho where both will prepare their traditional turkey stuffings, along with such family favorites as a Hungarian dobos torte—a five-layer sponge cake layered with chocolate buttercream and topped with caramel slices. Like many Wood River Valley residents, they have become increasingly interested in local foods. “My new favorite is Lava Lake Lamb sausage. Falls Brand puts out a wonderful Salmon Creek Farms pork tender-

loin. And Teton Waters Ranch in the Teton Valley will be bringing organic mushrooms that they grow, along with their grass-fed beef. We’ll have organic tea, garlic and raw milk, as well,” said Ottley. Sinnott and Ottley took over the Harvest Festival from the Sun Valley Food and Wine Festival that the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber of Commerce started a few years ago. They moved it from spring to fall to take advantage of Idaho’s harvest. Last year 300 people attended the Sysco-sponsored Restaurant Walk, which gives people a chance to sample foods from 15 restaurants. “People told us afterwards that they didn’t know that such-andsuch restaurant had this or that. Others paired up and made friends along the way and had a ball,” said Ottley. Last year’s festival attracted people from Montana and Park City. Sinnott and Ottley would like to see it attract foodies from throughout the country. But they never want to price people out. “It costs nearly $1,200 to attend the Aspen Food and Wine Festival—$395 just for the tasting. We never want to do that,” Ottley said. At the end of the day, Ottley said, she hopes people leave saying they learned a new technique or found a new product, whether it be something like Melt—an

ink guava ketchup. Prickly pear mustard. Lychee and sweet chili aioli. It’s clear Chef Dave Martin likes to make food fun and adventuresome. Now this finalist in “Bravo’s Top Chef” TV show is planning to pair BuckSnort Root Beer, a concoction of wintergreen and other flavors created by a Bellevue root beer brewer, with Snake River Farms pork. He’ll serve it atop wild cherrywood bacon and goat cheese grits drizzled with Dave’s Roasted Poblano BBQ Sauce. The beneficiaries will be those who attend the second annual Sun Valley Harvest Festival being held Sept. 22 through 25 in Ketchum and Sun Valley. “I’m all about flavor—layers of flavor. And I like to make people smile through my food,” said Martin. Martin left the technology industry to pursue his love and passion for cooking when the tech industry took a nosedive several years ago. He graduated with honors from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena, Calif., where he formed his own catering company and became executive chef at XO Wine Bistro in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Eventually, he moved to New York City where he served as executive chef at Lola, Crave on 42nd and VYNL restaurants before moving out on his own to open The Frying Dutchman gourmet fry food truck. He also wrote cookbooks featuring his take on classics, such as Black Truffle Mac ’n’ Cheese. And he created a line of Flavor Quest rubs and sauces, including a new line of dessert sauces like Ooey Gooey Caramel Sauce. “I call my products ‘quick solutions.’ Grab a rub or sauce and jazz up your food,” Martin said. Martin said two of the most common mistakes he sees with people’s cooking is overcooking meat or not seasoning it. “I don’t want just a plain piece of pork. Everything I cook I season with pepper and salt—sea salt or kosher salt rather than iodized salt since it’s not good for you. And I love dry rubs, marinades and sauces. I also advocate buying local and fresh when possible to get maximum flavor.” Right now high-end restaurants in New York are suffering, he said. “Everyone’s broke, so people are turning to burgers, pizzas, meatballs—sales of those foods are out of control. Restaurants are still flourishing but it’s the moderately-priced, affordable, high-quality restaurants that are doing well,” said Martin, who plans to open his new restaurant project, an upscale casual eating establishing in New York’s Union Square, in October.

Dave Martin

“But restaurants have to evolve. They can’t be old dinosaurs and offer the same things they’ve always offered. That’s why everyone’s gone crazy over my fry sauces. People want different things.” Martin, a frequent presenter at food festivals, was lured to Sun Valley in part because of the chance to visit with his friends Brent and Brian Barsotti. Brent Barsotti, in fact, will help with Thursday’s “Carnivore’s Dream” dinner being held at 7 p.m. at Elkhorn Springs Restaurant. The five-course tasting menu will include Dave’s ginger POM martini, local Idaho trout Gralax-style, short-cured with Idaho potato tuile topped with local chevre, salad of duck comfit with oven-roasted pears, nutmeg walnuts, apple cider vinaigrette and bleu cheese, citrus marinated Idaho grass-fed Teton Waters Ranch skirt steak over roasted corn salad, fava bean tortellini with a sauce of butternut squash topped with fried sage, the BuckSnort Root Beer braised pork and pumpkin panna cotta. Martin will also give a cooking demonstration at 1 p.m. Saturday under the tent at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Individual tickets to the cooking demonstrations are $20, available at Atkinsons’ Market or Chapter One Bookstore. Passes covering all the cooking demonstrations and other festival events are also available starting at $95. In addition, some of Martin’s rubs and sauces will be available at the Sun Valley Harvest Festival Marketplace, open to the public free of charge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge.

Ten Cooking Demos By KAREN BOSSICK

C

hris Kastner has a quick, easy and tasty solution for the tomatoes that begin piling up in late summer. He dumps a box of tomatoes on the grill and makes grilled tomato soup that he can then turn into sauces and marinades. “It’s a good way to use stuff you have so much of this time of year. And you can make things taste good without a lot of time,” he said. Kastner, who owns CK’s Real Food restaurant in Hailey, will be one of eight chefs offering hour-long cooking demonstrations capped by samples beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Other chefs: 9 a.m. Hailey Chef Judith McQueen will prepare dishes using what she calls “tomato water.” 10 a.m. Clay Conley, chef of Buccan in Palm Beach, Fla., will prepare Idaho rabbit. 11 a.m. Chris Kastner of CK’s Real Food will demo grilled tomato soup and how it can be used in other dishes. Noon—Melissa Costello, of Karma Chow, will prepare vegan dishes. “Veganism is all the rage, with heavy hitters such as Sun Valley’s Steve Wynn and Bill Clinton taking on the lifestyle. But it’s more than just not eating animal products,” cautioned Costello, a personal chef to P90X workout creator Tony Horton. “Being vegan and healthy means eating whole foods, plant-based foods, nutrient-dense foods. Many vegans will gorge on processed foods that are vegan, but are not necessarily healthy. You want to take baby steps and not just dive in without the knowledge that you need because your body will go into shock.” 1 p.m. Dave Martin, Bravo’s Top Chef, will demonstrate his flourish with such dishes as BuckSnort Root Beer braised pork. 2 p.m.—Cathy Whims, of Nostrana, in Portland, Ore., will prepare a mushroom sfromato using organic mushrooms grown by Teton Waters Ranch in eastern Idaho. 3 p.m.—Taite Pearson of della mano in Ketchum will show how to properly cut and dice vegetables, among other things. 4 p.m. Sam Talbot of The Surf Lodge in Montauk, N.Y., and Imperial No. 9 in New York City, will create huckleberry trout using Clear Springs’ trout. Other events: Friday: Restaurant Walk sponsored by Sysco Idaho, runs from 5 to 7 p.m. featuring 15 Ketchum restaurants with brews and wine from the new Sawtooth Brewery and Frenchman’s Gulch Winery. $25 or included in Epicurean, Foodie Delight and Tasting passes.

Thank You!

aryl Thornton went to Nepal to trek. But the Los Angeles woman found the unexpected—she fell in love with her Sherpa trekking guide, his country and his people. So in 1991 after traveling around the world, Caryl returned to this country with a new name, a story to tell and a desire to tell it. She studied at writing workshops around the country with many notable teachers, including Terry Tempest Williams. And she poured out her story on paper even as she and her husband Nima ran Himalayan Discovery a trekking company. Caryl Sherpa, as she is now known, will share some of her story of love and cultural exploration at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library. She’ll follow her talk with a signing of her book “I Taste Fire, Earth, Rain: Elements of a Life with a Sherpa.” Ketchum is one of her first stops on a two-plus month book tour that will take her thoruhgout the country. The book is called an “Inspiring story of love cultural exploration, finding one’s faith and the relevation that in the Himalaya anything is possible.”

uthor Michael Fischman will discuss his journey into a world of emotions at 6 p.m. tonight at The Community Library. Fischman, a founder of Art of Living Foundation, and CEO of APEX (Achieving Personal Excellence), has written the book “Stumbling into Infinity.” The book tells of how Fischman grew up the son of an Holocaust survivor in an Orthodox Jewish household, . As an adult, he gave up a successful career as a Madison Avenue advertising executive and through an unlikely turn of events ended up a friend and helper to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. “My father used to tell me a story about two rabbis who had a large following in their village. During an especially long, cold, winter, one of the rabbis purchased a coat, the other lit a fire. The first warmed himself, while the second provided warmth for anyone who wanted to come near,” said Fischman, who now lives in Boca Raton, Fla. “My spiritual teacher and mentor, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, is a fire lighter. He brings warmth to the soul and light to darkness. And for the last 20 years, I have dedicated my life to sharing and growing on a spiritual path.” The presentation is free. tws

Locals Paint Posters for Int’l Peace Day

O

n 9/11 adults and children gathered together to paint posters and present their message of peace and bring awareness to “Peace Day” being held on September 21, 2011 (peaceoneday.org). Hosted at the studio of local artist Sharon Maley, students learned about the founder of Peace Day, Jeremy Gilley, and how one person can make a huge difference in the world. Students learned the importance of standing up for what they believe in

Thank You to all my Customers for voting me Best Insurance Agent in the Wood River Valley, again.

and getting their message out to the public through the medium of art. The goal is that “Peace Day” can be institutionalized through education, the arts, and events held across the world and will lead to “Global Truce Day” by

September 21, 2012. On this day we will see the largest ceasefire and reduction in global violence in recorded history, both domestically and internationally. Because of the recognized ceasefire on Peace Day, life-saving humanitarian efforts will take place, including food drops and immunization of millions of children. Posters can be seen at the U.S. Bank entrance on Main Street in Hailey. tws

Library Benefit, from page 1 Way to You.� It was Walton’s suggestion that the two team up to perform a benefit for the library. “My daughter Karli was an assistant librarian there and now she’s at the College of Southern Idaho majoring in voice and library science. She told me the library down there is too quiet,� Walton said. “The Bellevue library is a community center—a place for children to get help with homework and for adults to prepare resumes on computers.� The library’s animated librarian, Patty Gilman, frequently dresses in costume depicting book characters as she introduces the children to a world outside the small Bellevue community, added Bellevue Library Board President Betsy Castle. The library offers Every Child Ready to Read family workshops and a Read to Me First book program that targets children from birth to age seven who are unlikely to have books at home, as well as a summer reading program for 140 youngsters. “The summer program is often the only structured activity some of our Bellevue children can afford to participate in during the summer. They are not only improving their reading skills but they gain a strong sense of community over the six weeks while improving their problemsolving, social and critical-thinking skills through various activities,� Castle said. “In addition, the library is a gathering place for children in Bellevue where they feel safe. It’s a second home to many who are needing extra adult support to thrive.� Organizers hope to raise $5,500 from the concert to reinstate the Read to Me First program, Castle said. tws

Hailey Library and Banned Book Week By BALI SZABO

M

ore than 450,000 people have joined a Facebook group called “I Hate Reading.� A rival group, called “I Love Reading,� has attracted fewer than 45,000 members.� —L.A.Times.com Banned Books Week is coming up (Sept. 24-Oct. 1). Sponsored by the American Library Association, and in place since 1982, librarians LeAnn Gelskey and Nancy Gurney pointed out that its purpose is to remind Americans about the importance of universal public access to unpoliticized information. It is also important to remember that democracy depends on unrestricted access to a wide range of information that is unmonitored so your mindset or interests cannot be used against you. As we thoughtlessly fritter away our freedoms, libraries may well end up as the last bastion of those freedoms. None of us likes the truth all that much. Individuals, families, organizations large and small, all have agendas, ideologies and self-images to disseminate and protect. All these units, at one time or another, deny information. We all do it. Libraries and schools are easy targets for parents, tightly wound, self-righteous social organizations and crusaders for political correctness. It makes for easy posturing while the real problems fester in the larger world. Intolerance often hides behind children. The most common objection to books comes from parents concerned with explicit sexual content and language and their children’s

possible exposure to it. Yawn! Our children (and politicians) are exposing themselves in record numbers on the Internet. Twelve-year-olds are performing intimate acts in school to gain acceptance. Sexting is everywhere. A recent headline read, ‘Vermont teens shared lurid photos’ of each other on a school e-mail account. It must have been Orientation Week and they were just trying to get to know each other better. The real point here is that the pressure is off libraries. At one time they were the primary storage and distribution center of societal self-knowledge. Today, content has migrated to electronic forms of access and display. Why ban something no one is reading? One wit remarked that the statistical decline in challenges and bans, from 500 to 300 in recent years, is a bad sign. It shows people aren’t reading, so there’s less content threat. LeAnn and Nancy mentioned that no book here in Hailey has been challenged or banned in recent years. The biggest threat to libraries came from The Patriot Act. Bloggers, search engines and ‘hacktivists’ populate the Internet. The inquisitor has to look elsewhere for the heretic, like Hillary Clinton did with wikileaks. In closing, here’s another headline: ‘SAT reading scores lowest on record’ for the Class of 2011, reported the College Board. Libraries are also closing in smaller towns across America. Don’t trust human knowledge to the Cloud. Support our Valley libraries every chance you get. tws

briefs Prescribed Burn this Week

Fire Management Staff on the Ketchum Ranger District are planning to continue ignition operations on the Upper Little Wood Prescribed Burn on Wednesday, September 21, weather permitting. “The moisture received last week should not prevent us from having a successful project”, according to Matt Filbert, Assistant Fire Management Officer for the Ketchum Ranger District. “Daily conditions can change quickly however so hopefully we’ll have a window of opportunity Wednesday. If not, we’ll have to take it one day at a time.”, “We try to give the public a good idea of when we’ll be burning, but ultimately Mother Nature decides on the timing and that makes it a challenge to make sure everyone knows to avoid the area we plan to burn”, Filbert said. Anyone planning to visit the Little Wood Area in Slide Canyon and the north side of Slide Canyon should call the Ketchum Ranger District at (208) 622-5371 for updated information and possible timeframes for burning.

Patagonia Rising

Hailey adventurer Scott Douglas has trekked throughout the world and in doing so developed a soft spot in his heart for Chile’s Patagonia. With the rivers, land and even culture in that part of Chile threatened by the building of a proposed dam, he helped produce a film, “Patagonia Rising.” The film addresses the controversy and explores the alternatives. Douglas and the Idaho Conservation League will show that film at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Tickets are $10 at the door and will include refreshments and a discussion with Douglas.

“Wintering” Your Chickens: A Class at the Hailey Library

Residents clucked with joy when Hailey Zoning Code 7.1.10 allowed them to keep up to three hens in the backyard of their city abode. Hens offer fresh eggs, companionship, and other benefits. Here’s the tricky part: how do you keep the ‘gals’ warm and producing eggs in the winter? Get the answers at the Hailey Public Library. On Tuesday, September 27th at 6 p.m., special guest Gretchen Anderson will offer a free class on ‘wintering’ chickens. Gretchen is an author, award-winning humor columnist and urban farmer. She wrote The Backyard Chicken Fight, and will teach you how to feed, protect, and house your chickens this winter. For more information, please contact the Hailey Public Library at (208) 788-2036 or visit the library online at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

The Universe is Pulling My Hair! “Information is knowing that water is H2O; knowledge is being able to make it rain.” –Inca saying BY BALI SZABO

L

ast week I touched on fractals, a repeating structural design found everywhere in our biosphere. It connects the micro to the macro. The evolving universe is also composed of fractals. The ternary and pentametric symmetry of flowers is a clue to larger things. The chaos theory showed how all life forms interconnect into a coherent, though seemingly chaotic, whole. Recent Hurricane Irene started as a disorganized tropical depression, became a giant cyclone and ended up responsible for devastating flooding from Wilkes-Barre, Penn., to Mad River, Vt. As its vortex was heading up the East Coast, news came of another rotating spectacle. The nearby Pinwheel Galaxy, only 21 million light-years away, contained a supernova (exploding star) brighter (10 to 50 times) than the light from an entire galaxy. Three weeks ago it was visible in the northern sky near the Big Dipper with 20x80 binoculars. Eh! That’s nothing. Our universe is even more exciting than The Weather Channel. A quasar, formed during the universe’s infancy a little less than 14 billion years ago, is being eaten by a black hole. A quasar is an entire galaxy that emits amazing amounts of energy, as much light as 63 trillion stars. The black hole eating it is the size of 2 billion suns. Almost incomprehensible numbers, but then so is a $10 trillion national debt! One mathematical unit we can comprehend has been popularized in the book, The Da Vinci Code. It is a structural, skeletal component of life energy (movement) itself, called the Fibonacci sequence. Ten years ago I thought it was just numismatic mumbo-jumbo.

Then last year my researches revealed that the center disc of sunflower seeds was arranged in this sequence. This numerical formula is a structural backbone of a quantum re-discovery, the vortex and the spiral: the DNA helix, the Pinwheel Galaxy, tornados and other cyclones, whirlpools and eddies, the Nautilus, and so on. Discovered by an Italian mathematician in the 13th century, this linear sequence goes like this: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… 144,253,377,610,987, and so on. Just add the last two numbers to get the next one. Nature’s spirals reflect this exact proportional relationship, from sunflower seeds to galaxies. Each concentric curve is larger (or smaller) than its predecessor by a constant exponential factor. The slightest variation in one aspect of an organism will lead to a major transformation, so that the curves of a heliocodal clamshell, if altered, create a crustacean, like a lobster. (Chaos theory again). Now comes the kicker. The circumference of a circle is found by its diameter multiplied by 1.61, or what we call Phi. It was once called the divine proportion. It is found throughout the universe at every level, from the reproductive rhythms of bees and rabbits, to the spirals of a pineapple husk, the spotting of animal hides, to crystals and black holes. Organic elements tend to assemble in groups of 3, 5, 8, 13, etc. The ratio of the four bone-lengths of your middle finger will be 2 at the tip, then 3, 5 and 8. The last bone is four times the length of the first. How do we get 1.61? Divide 13 into 21 = 1.615385. Input this into a DNA helix and you get a worm. Divide 610 into 987 and we get 1.618033, which will result in an elephant. Because this irrational number extends to infinity of decimal places, what results is the infinite variety of life. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

s there anything cuter than a baby chimpanzee? Or anything more frightening than an adult chimpanzee gone berserk? Just watch the many scientific documentaries that portray the animal as being severely vicious to both friend and foe to know that this is not a household pet. But in the mid-1970s a Columbia University professor named Herbert Terrance tried precisely that in an attempt to prove that through sign language chimps could actual speak to humans in an intimate form of communication. Closely paralleling the summer blockbuster Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this new documentary, Project Nim, shows the problems of trying to humanize a very smart ape, only to abandon the ape in later life in a horrible tale worthy of Charles Dickens. Whether the little chimp can actually communicate remains to be seen and,

at some points, he seems to be pleasing his trainers rather than actually communicating. This fine new documentary is directed with flair by James Marsh, who made the excellent film, Man On Wire. In addition to the excellent footage of the indescribably cute baby Nim, the film consists mostly of the many trainers that Nim would have throughout his life. Taken from birth out of an Oklahoma zoo, the baby is immediately brought to a bustling family in a New York City brownstone to be raised ostensibly as a human child. Showing great promise, the chimp would master 125 hand signs, only to be abandoned to a series of homes and facilities in a downward spiral after the experiment is stopped. Chief among the talking heads is the mastermind of the project, Terrance, who easily comes off the worst. In the ‘70s he appears as a swinging scientist who remained uninvolved with the project and left it mainly to the hands of two young female apprentices that he was involved with. Today, with little introspection, he looks at his failure without guilt. Only little Nim remains the victim in this sad, cautionary tale. tws

An evening with Rember

Hailey’s Improved Skate Park Gets Traffic

ailey’s skate park across from the Hailey Post Office has generated scads of international attention in skateboarding videos, with visits by skateboard guru Tony Hawk and even the widely popular skateboarding movie, “Northwest.” Try ripping it up in the concrete half-pipes and swirling around the bowls for yourself.

he Hailey Public Library hosted a full house of about 25 people who attended author Rember’s hourlong readings from his new book of essays, MFA In A Box. A native of the Sawtooth Valley, Rember focused on area stories. He started off lampooning Jack Hemingway’s stint as an outdoor sports columnist. In one piece, Jack had extolled the virtues of catch-and-release fishing in Silver Creek. His father Ernest Hemingway, who knew a little about the primal dramas of real life, must have been turning over in his grave. There was a reason why he nicknamed him Bumby. Rember is very well read, and his book is full of references to and discussions of the written record of past ages, from Gilgamesh to Nietzsche, from Hans Christian Andersen to psychologists R.D. Laing and Henri Foucault. A thinking man’s writer, the book deals with the psychology of writing rather than its formal elements. To him, the philosopher’s stone is more important than sentence structure. Fran Lebowitz once pointed out that there’s a reason why there are no child prodigy writers, no Mozarts or Picassos. Writers have to know something, they have to have something to say, and that comes from a history of experience, and reading. Rember may be blunt, but he is far more gracious than angry. He is an equal opportunity offender. He follows where the insight leads, regardless of consequence. According to Rember, it’s that kind of candor that ended his Mountain Express column. Times are tough in the news business and the paper couldn’t risk offending advertisers who, thin-skinned, are still attempting to perpetuate illusions about the Valley’s nature and future.

COURTESY ART

Rember called them on it, and his content was censored, so he simply walked away. Here’s an excerpt on Bill Janss: “Late in his life he began to regret selling out to Earl Holding. Janss hadn’t needed the money, and had come to the conclusion, helped by a visit to a monastery in Tibet, that humans couldn’t really own mountains anyway—humans were just temporary caretakers of sacred places. “Janss began to see that he could have been a better caretaker of Bald Mountain than Earl Holding who, from all appearances, didn’t believe in all that Buddhist crap… so Bill Janss died needing the sacred more than he needed the money he got for it.” One tip for writers emerges from his book over and over. He stressed that there are three elements to a story—the story, the reader and the author, in that order.

First up: Burton Snowboards’ “Standing Sideways,” full of tumbling pow. A showing of the amateur film winners will be shown followed by Level 1’s “After Dark.” The film features what’s been called the Sun Valley jump by

one reviewer, along with stellar nighttime footage, blower pow in Japan and heavy metal in Russia. The festival will conclude at 8:30 p.m. on the Sun Valley Pavilion lawn with a Marley and the Mountain concert featuring the Itals, a Grammy-nominated seven-piece Jamaican band. “I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to bring them in. They’re a great positive roots reggae band,” Walton said. Walton, who organized the Marley in the Mountains concert, has invited the owners of VW buses, Beetles, Vanagon and Westy’s to Sun Valley for what he says could be the Northwest’s largest VW gathering and tailgate party on the parking lot across from the ice rink. “Van people are very passionate about their way of traveling,” said Walton, who drove his own four-wheel VW van to Mt. Rainer, Mt. Hood, and the coast this summer.

All-events passes to The Gathering are $35, available at the Sun Valley Recreation Office in the Sun Valley Mall, Atkinsons’ Markets, the Sun Valley/ Ketchum Visitor Center in its temporary location next to the Bluebird Café on Main Street Ketchum and online at sunvalley.com.

Think snow with yoga

Danny Walton expects as many as a 100 yoga buffs to come together at 10 a.m. Sunday morning at the Ketchum Town Plaza to perform Snow Salutations. “It’s snow-cool,” he said. “Last year we had over 90 people practice yoga together and we were blessed with great snow last season.” tws

What To Do With Used Styrofoam?

“C

an I recycle Styrofoam?â€? is a question the ERC hears a lot. Although Valley residents can now recycle a wider variety of plastics, the answer for Styrofoam is still no. These styrene products are usually only recyclable if a manufacturer is close at hand who can reuse it. In fact, please do not put any Styrofoam products in your plastics recycling bin, because Styrofoam contamination will prompt a plastics buyer to turn down a whole load of plastic recyclables. A better question for Valley residents is: How can we avoid purchasing these products altogether? Recycling is a good practice, but reusing and reducing are even better! Despo’s restaurant in Ketchum led the charge when they “outlawedâ€? Styrofoam takeout containers last year. Despo’s found no satisfactory takeout alternative, so recommends dining “inâ€? as their green choice. Styrofoam peanuts are another recycling problem. Local mailing houses accept the packing peanuts for reuse, but not the blocks. One block reuse idea is to fill the bottom of large planters with Styrofoam chunks so that less soil is needed. Lots of alternatives exist for Styrofoam drink cups, so just avoid them altogether. Set a good example by bringing your own cup to social and business gatherings. Have a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat? Call us at 208.726.4333 or e-mail reduce@ercsv.org.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I'm divorced, remarried, and now I'm thinking of starting a family with my new husband. However, none of that should matter when I go for a job interview. I know that there are limits as to what an interviewer can ask me, but do they know that? On one recent interview I was asked if starting a family was important to me. I couldn't tell whether it was just small talk or an attempt to see if I was going to be out on maternity leave. What's the best way to handle that in an interview? If I told him it was illegal to ask, it would probably put a stop to the whole interview. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Cash: You seem to be more

prepared than your future employer. Maybe you should be applying for a job in their HR department. Carry: Today, there are many federal, state and local laws in place that prevent an employer from basing your employment on anything other than your work experience or qualifications. However, as you've experienced, people still make mistakes that can leave you facing an inappropriate question.

Fast Facts Filing a Claim

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 09/18/11 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Cash: Like you mentioned, pointing out the legalities may not be your best option. If an interviewer asks a question that seems inappropriate, you have many responses that won't necessarily ruin the interview. Carry: Before you answer, take a minute to collect your thoughts. If the question doesn't bother you, you can simply give a response. It's not illegal to answer an inappropriate question. Just realize that your answer could impact their decision. Cash: Another option is to inform the interviewer that the question is inappropriate for the interview. However, a response like this can be confrontational and cause unnecessary tension,

even if done politely. Carry: Your best option may simply be to sidestep the question. Quickly assess what the interviewer is really asking you and divert the question back to your commitment or qualifications for the job. Cash: For instance, if they asked you about planning a family, you could answer with something like, "It's always a possibility, but right now I'm very focused on my career." Carry: It's important to remember that many interviewers ask these questions without realizing they are inappropriate. If you can divert the question and continue a smooth discussion, you'll have a much more successful interview.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is available to help fight discrimination. If you believe that you have been discriminated against by an employer or during the employment process based on your race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, or disability, contact your nearest EEOC office. To protect your rights, there are very strict time frames in which charges must be filed. For more information visit EEOC on the web at www.eeoc.gov.

Fruity Questions

"If you were a piece of fruit, which fruit would you be?" If you think this question is silly, you may be correct. However, if faced with it during an interview, avoid laughing. Although a question like this may seem utterly ridiculous to you, some interviewers find that it offers some sort of insight into your personality. Take a minute to compose yourself and give a ripe answer and a good explanation. But be careful, it's possible a poor choice in fruit could squash your interview. •

Reader Humor Sales Lead

On the day of my job interview, I was well prepared. As the female HR Manager asked the questions, I answered every one with ease. Toward the end of the interview though, she started asking more personal questions like, "Do you like to travel?" "How about cooking or dancing?" When she finally came out and asked if I was single, I had enough. I asked her flat out, "What does this have to do with the job?" "Oh you already have the job," she replied. "But I thought we could double date some of the single guys in sales." (Thanks to Melissa J.)
