Wolverine Greg Lindbloom Sets School Football Records PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

Commencement in Hailey for One Day BY KAREN BOSSICK

C

lay McLeod Chapman was horrified when an English major killed 32 of his fellow students and wounded 25 others before committing suicide at Virginia Tech on Chapman’s boyhood turf. As a writer who’s always scouring the newspapers for tiny details that he can work into a story, Chapman was particularly intrigued with a small story describing how someone had spray-painted a threat on the front door of the shooter’s parents’ home. With the shooter gone, some people were looking for somebody to blame and the easiest target was Seung-Hui Cho’s parents, he reasoned. Chapman took that idea and turned it into a one-woman play that approaches a high school shooting from the perspective of three people—the mother of the shooter, one of the shooter’s victims and the mother of that victim. He wrote the play with the help of Hailey’s Company of Fools, which had commissioned him to write a piece. And he’ll bring the play to the Wood River Valley for one public performance on Friday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. New York-based actress Hanna Cheek, who has been performing the play in the United States and Canada, will also present two free school matinees at The Liberty Theatre and The Community School Theatre. And she will appear in an invitation-only performance at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts in conjunction with its multidisciplinary “Awkward Age: Adolescence and Identity� project. It’s a piece so powerful it “will leave you wringing your hands in helpless empathy,� said a reviewer for See Magazine. “Ripped me into little tiny shreds, but I would see it again and again,� wrote a reviewer for Time Out New York. “It’s fascinating to have one person give voice to each of these perspectives—among them, a victim whom we don’t know whether she’s dead or alive,� said Company of Fools Core Artist John Glenn, who provided input to Chapman as Chapman wrote the play. “It’s a very immediate piece with three very different voices talking right to you,� said Fools Core Artist Denise Simone, who also provided feedback for Chapman. “I’m amazed at the sheer artistry of it. Clay is topical and irreverent and exciting—it’s so exciting as an artist to watch another’ artist’s journey.�

reg Lindbloom got to play in two football games during his freshman year. And, at 100 pounds, he thought that might be the summation of his high school career. But the kid from Woodside started weight training, packing an additional 65 pounds of muscle onto his 5-foot-9 frame. And last week he bulldozed his way into the record books as he helped carry Wood River High School to its first winning season in 11 years—no small feat for a team that loses many of the best high school athletes in the Valley to Sun Valley’s ski and snowboard teams. “One of the greatest feelings in the world is when you run through the middle of the line and break a tackle and sprint for the end zone and hear the cheers,� said Lindbloom, whose philosophy is simply to put his head down and get as many yards as he can. “To go to the playoffs felt really good because the team has come a long way from last year. Everybody bought into Coach (Kevin) Stilling’s philosophy that we can be a good team, even though we don’t have as many players as other teams,� added the senior, who also plays inside linebacker when his team’s on defense. Lindbloom, the son of Todd and Jeannie Tupper, began playing Optimist-type football when he was eight. He got to play one year early because his sister Alex was on the team. And on an unseasonably warm Oct. 21 night several years later, Lindbloom picked up 153 yards and four touchdowns in Wood River’s 42-9 win over Canyon Ridge. And he ran off the field with new single-season rushing and scoring records of 1,358 yards and 20 touchdowns, breaking the school’s career mark with 1,795 yards and helping the 6-3 Wood River to its first winning season for the first time since 2000 when it finished 5-4. Taking advantage of the school’s combination shift/power style, Lindbloom added another 61 yards rushing, along with a touchdown and a completed pass for 39 yards, in Wood River’s 41-13 loss to an undefeated Blackfoot in the playoffs last Friday. “I feel like I’m getting more attention than I deserve. I couldn’t have done it

“One of the greatest feelings in the world is when you run through the middle of a tackle and sprint for the end zone and hear the cheers.�

without the rest of the team,� Lindbloom said, attempting to share his accolades with his 24 team members. The work ethic that helped Lindbloom become a rusher to be reckoned with will translate into snowmobile racing this winter and the Army Rangers come next summer. Following in the wake of his father, Todd Tupper—a snowmobile racer who’s sponsored by Arctic Cat, and his brother, Trace Tupper—Lindbloom pursued snocross snowmobile racing for two years, careening around tracks with tight turns, banked corners, steep jumps and other obstacles on courses in Wyoming, Nevada and Utah. Three years ago, he began hill climb racing, which features snowmobiles racing up steep slopes to see who can make it farthest without careening back down the mountain. “The course is like a ski slalom—only you’re going uphill,� said Lindbloom. “It’s tough physically—you’re on the throttle the whole time. Snowmobile racing is a lot harder than most people think—and weight training and football help with that.� Lindbloom enlisted in the Army last

summer and plans to report to basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., on July 3. He’ll learn to parachute out of planes and then he’ll report to Ranger training, which has been called “the toughest combat course in the world.� “I took a class called ‘War in the Modern World’ and we watched a couple of movies that showed the Rangers—the Army’s elite. And it described their brotherhood, how they would sacrifice anything for each other. That’s what I want to do. That’s what I want to be a part of,� he said. Lindbloom will carry the reminder of the brotherhood that he found on the football team with him—in particular, his team’s victory against Jerome High School during Wood River’s homecoming game. “We’d been beaten by Jerome every year I’ve been in high school so it felt good to beat them,� he said. “Everyone on the team stepped up a lot after last season, working out in the off-season, working out after school. Goes to show what you can do when everybody’s on the same page.� tws

DID YOU KNOW?

This is just the Wolverines’ sixth season with six or more wins in 45 years. The last time they won six games was 1975. They tripled the scoring output from three years ago when Stilling took over—averaging 29.8 points per game from 8.4—while allowing just 14.9 points per game, down from 31.1 in 2009.

ix Wood River Valley youngsters believe they’ve come up with a way to prevent salmonella poisoning in eggs: Antibacterial glop. Just spray a little of this glop on each egg after it’s laid. As it hardens, it will clean the egg while providing a protective seal around the egg so further contaminants can’t get at the egg, says Jordan Schoen. Schoen is a member of The Eggheads—six students from Bellevue, Woodside and Hailey elementary schools who will compete in a FIRST LEGO League Competition Saturday at the Herrett Center in Twin Falls. They will be accompanied by The Spuds—six Wood River Valley students who are touting an electronic eye that can spot contaminated cantaloupe on conveyor belts so the cantaloupe can be cleaned before it sickens people with listeria bacteria. It’s the first year the Blaine County School District has fielded teams for the competition, said teacher Kristy Turco. The FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO League was started in 1989 by Dean Kamen. Kamen invented the Segway human transporter, an all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the iBOT and the first drug infusion pump, which led to the insulin pump. He founded FIRST to provide competitions for students interested in science, technology and engineering after noting that most role models for youngsters are athletes or movie stars. The competitions now involve nearly 200,000 students on 19,800 teams in 57 countries. Each year students are presented with a new challenge, which they research and brainstorm innovative solutions for. This year’s Food Factor challenge required students to learn about food contamination and spoilage. Each team was also required to come up with a solution for a specific aspect of food contamination. They were also required to design, construct and program LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots to complete a series of missions that include removing rats from the conveyor belt, washing fruits and vegetables, and practicing sustainable harvest by releasing smaller fish back into ponds. The Eggheads and The Spuds—all in the school district’s gifted program—have been meeting twice a week

ad trudged dutifully along in his flippers. And the barista serving coffee at Java looked as if he should be serving up a Neolithic concoction, instead. Hailey turned into a colorful tableau of characters Monday afternoon as South Valley merchants threw open their doors for the annual Halloween Hoopla. A couple thousand children and their parents stopped off at the Cowboy Cocina’s Haunted Kitchen for mac’n’cheese, hot dogs and hot chocolate served up from Java. Cheri Stewart who dressed as the ugly old hag from Snow White had no poisoned apples to give out. But she did have sweet treats for children who attempted to make candy withdrawals at US Bank. And Jeweler Chris Roebuck

fittingly handed out candy necklaces to the trick-or-treaters who popped into his store on Hailey’s Main Street. Dozens of contestants sported homemade getups depicting such characters as Willy Wonka, a BLT and Sun Valley’s Olympic swimmer Dara Torres as they vied for up to $40 in Chamber bucks. Emcee R.L. Rowsey turned the event into a Stage of Wonder as he asked them to give their best impression of macaroni and cheese. Travis Jones, accompanied his ninja and dragon sons as a frogman, his flippers flapping as he crossed the street. “It was okay the first four blocks. It’s getting kind of old now,� he grimaced, looking around for a puddle to dive into. Halloween Hoopla capped five days of Halloween revelry that began with a Witches Tea at the Ellsworth Inn. Yellow Brick

The Sun Valley Opera is partnering with Big Wood Cinema 4 in Hailey to present the Metropolitan Opera’s live performance of Wagner’s “Siegfriedâ€? at 10 a.m. Saturday. The new production will revolve around part three of the Ring in a visually stunning performance. Wagner’s cosmic vision focuses on his hero’s early conquests, while Robert Lepage’s revolutionary stage machine transforms itself from bewitched forest to mountaintop love nest. Gary Lehman sings the title role and Deborah Voigt’s BrĂźnnhilde is his prize. Bryn Terfel is the Wanderer. James Levine conducts. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors and $18 for students, available at the theater box office.

Nuggets, from page 1 Chapman came to Simone’s attention when she directed a play of his while he was a high school student in a New Voices for the Theatre program in Richmond, Va., where Simone co-founded Company of Fools. Chapman conducted a writing program for Wood River youth five summers ago and the Fools decided to commission a piece with the help of a small grant from the Idaho Humanities Council. Glenn said the Fools commissioned a piece with the idea of one or two of its members presenting whatever Chapman came up with. But Chapman was so enthused about the piece that he decided to produce it right away through his Pumpkin Pie Show, which has a big following in New York. Chapman now lives in New York where he teaches writing at The Actors Studio MFS Program at Pace University. He was just hired by Marvel Comics to write a Spiderman piece. He is currently writing the book for a new musical with Grammy Award-winner Bruce Hornsby directed by Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall titled “Sckbstd.” He also wrote the book for the musical “Hostage Song” with Obie-Award-winning Kyle Jarrow and is on the writing team for The Ride, a multimedia musical tour through New York produced by the Blue Man Group. But Chapman counts “Commencement” among his favorite writings because he believes the three unique voices combine to create the perfect story. And it all came from a small blurb in a newspaper, which is where Chapman says he gets 75 percent of his ideas for stranger-than-fiction tales such as that of a woman who drowned in the bathtub, or a 79-year-old woman who held onto a rabid fox for 12 hours until help arrived. “These little articles are God’s gift to writers,” he said. “Every day you are guaranteed to open the newspaper and get inspiration. It is our privilege, if not responsibility, to tell the stories that these articles open up to us.” tws

Emmy Winner Toni Childs Coming Soon BY KAREN BOSSICK

Get your seat

oni Childs doesn’t lament her lost last decade, during which Graves disease forced her to stop recording and performing. “I went with it—I thought, ‘Okay this is what’s happening in my life right now,’ ” she said. “And it ended up being a huge growth spurt for me. I started singing at 16 years old and, when you’re young, all you can do is think about fame and fortune and all those things. With this, I matured in a way I needed to. Now I understand my purpose instead of my ambition. More than anything else, I want to leave a legacy.” Childs, a 2004 Emmy winner and three-time Grammy-nominated recording artist, will sing the stuff of her legacy—a mix of rock, pop and world music—on Friday, Nov. 11, at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood. Born in Orange, Calif., into a religious family that forbade movies and rock ‘n’ roll, Childs ran away from home at 15 and hitchhiked up and down the West Coast where she jammed with various blues bands. The title song of her debut album, “Union,” made it into “Thelma and Louise.” She captivated listeners around the world with such songs as “Don’t Walk Away,” “Stop Your Fussin,” and “Walk and Talk Like the Angel” as she performed with such singers as Bob Dylan, Al Green and Peter Gabriel. And she penned her Emmy-winning “love song to women”-“Because You’re Beautiful”—at the encouragement of Eve Ensler, who wrote “The Vagina Monologues.” But Childs had to retire from touring in 1997 after Graves’ disease made her eyes bulge out, sent her heart rate soaring to 120 beats per minute and caused manic episodes. “I saw three different doctors because I didn’t want to believe it—they all told me I had to stop my life because they thought my lifestyle was causing

it,” she said. Childs retreated to the island of Kauai where she planted a small farm with organic vegetables. And, gradually, she weaned herself off medications with yoga and a physical meditation using salt rubs she made with herbs and essential oils. She also upgraded her water filter and ridded her cupboards of toothpaste, shampoo and soap containing sulfate after she determined she had mercury poisoning from the water and was allergic to chlorine and sulfate. She took the spotlight for the first time after her diagnosis at an open mic night at a pub in Victoria, B.C., and subsequently recorded an album titled “Keep the Faith,” that drew heavily from material she wrote shortly before her forced retirement. She is spending this week at a studio in Victoria, B.C., working on a new album, “Citizen of the Planet.” And she’s approaching it with a boldness she never had before her illness. She recently, for instance, wrote a song for her niece who lost her father seven years go. “My brother and his children didn’t know how to deal with that and there was a lot of anger—my niece was so angry she got a tattoo on her lower lip to show everyone what a badass she is and to keep people away from her,” Childs said. “I’m singing to her to remind her who she is—a beautiful light on this earth.”

“I’m a super-emotional person, and when I have strong feelings I pick up a guitar or sit down at a piano and sing because that’s my way of emoting.” Childs said she has become just as bold in addressing audiences: Not only do we need to stop violence against women, she tells them; but first we need to stop that violence that we women inflict on ourselves. “I stumbled and bumbled and had to summon the courage to say that. But I had to say it,” she said. “I just turned 54 and I feel like it gives me permission to sing what needs to be sung. There are things I don’t want to sweep under the rug. I don’t want to not write songs that need to be sung.” tws

Ketchum Voters: VOTE “YES” ON NOVEMBER 8TH FOR COUNCIL-MANAGER FORM OF GOVERNMENT • FACT: PROVEN SUCCESS More that 92 million Americans live in Council-Manager communities. It is the fastest growing form of government in the United States (ICMA)

• FACT: PROFESSIONAL The city manager is a highly trained professional who is hired by the elected ofcials on the basis of his/her education, experience, skills and abilities. If the manager is not responsive to the mayor and council, they have the authority to re the manager at any time.

• FACT: LESS POLITICAL The hired professional manager has no guaranteed term of employment. They must constantly respond to the citizens and be dedicated to the highest ideals of honesty, integrity, and excellence in the management and delivery of public service.

• FACT: COST EFFECTIVE There are no increased stafng costs necessary to adopt the Council-Manager form of government. Many local governments have found that overall costs are actually reduced under competent management.

• FACT: MORE ACCESS TO ELECTED OFFICIALS Decisions on policy and the future of the community are made by all ve (5) elected ofcials equally, giving the residents more opportunity to become engaged in the process.

• FACT: IN-LINE WITH THE MAJORITY OF SKI RESORT COMMUNITIES Managing ski resort communities is complex and budgets are larger than towns of equal populations. Aspen, Vail, Durango and many other ski resort towns have adopted the Council-Manager form of government.

• FACT: ENCOURAGES PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The decisions on policy and the future of the community are made by the entire governing body which encourages all ve (5) elected ofcials to engage and involve the diverse interests of their residents to serve on boards and commissions.

• FACT: EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT The day-to-day operations of the community resides with the city manager, creating continuity and freeing the elected ofcials to devote their time to policy making and future planning.

• FACT: THE TIME IS RIGHT Now is the opportune time to make the change to the Council-Manager form of government. Ketchum needs to be prepared as the economy improves with a professional, ethical, efcient government which the Council Manager plan will provide.

The Great Harmonizer BY BALI SZABO

ater is cool. It does not like it hot and it knows it. (If the universe is a thought, water is its proxy). Water runs things. It is at its healthiest when it’s moving and when it’s cold. It works better cold; it transports more material because it’s denser and more vigorous, even moreso with a full moon. A stream, as a self-regulating unit, seeks and makes shade. It can actually dry up and hide if shading vegetation is removed from its banks. The complex hydraulics of a cold water stream propel animate and inanimate objects. Smooth, oval stones the size of basketballs can actually be brought to the surface and moved downstream. Try this at home. An egg in a still glass of water sinks. Then stir water rapidly into a whirlpool and place the egg into that water. It stays up as long as the water keeps moving. The rhythmic motion overcomes gravity. Turbulence increases the liquid’s specific weight. The more cross currents there are in water, the more life it supports, like a healthy coral reef. Here, in our trout streams, cold moving water is vital to aquatic species’ diversity. The magic number is water’s ‘anomalous point’—37 degrees Fahrenheit. It is at this temperature that fish begin their various journeys. Fish swim upstream at the same speed as the downstream current. They are actually ‘swum’ by the water. They would not make it if they had to swim against the current. We think of salmon making this heroic journey to spawn, advancing by leaps and bounds upstream (right into a bear’s waiting jaws). Forget it. After a tough stretch, they’d be gassed. Instead, the water creates an energy field that moves them upstream.

The confluence of temperature (density) and vortex flow create a rifle-barrel effect that counter gravity and the current. The water’s turbulence creates a cycloid spiral motion, a kind of whirlpool that propels the trout and the salmon forward. Birds and butterflies are flown by the wind, and our blood pumps the heart, not the other way around. Want to impress someone? Just tell ‘em fish don’t swim, birds don’t fly and the heart doesn’t pump blood. Water’s maximum density (and force, energy, vitality) is at 37 degrees F., diminishing on either side of that temperature. It should be at 32 degrees F., but it is not. Water defies scientific logic at every turn. Freezing at 32 degrees F., it is less dense, so in a frozen state, it floats. By doing so it protects all the life underneath it. If ice sank, as it should, or if water froze from the bottom up, it would annihilate all life. (Microorganisms can live in ice, but to little effect). How thoughtful! Water is the oddball liquid that creates and supports life energy in ways we barely know. That temperature—37 degrees F. —is important one other way. It is the maximum value of water’s latent heat. This liquid absorbs and releases more heat than just about any other. It absorbs heat (a few cubic yards absorb more heat than our entire atmosphere) when there is too much of it, and releases it when it’s cold. This is exactly how it regulates atmospheric CO2. It absorbs the excess, and releases it during scarcity, ensuring healthy plant life. Water is the great temperature regulator of our bodies and the globe. In order to sustain life, it both echoes and defies the universe. More on tws that next week.

hy Prune? Plants are pruned for a variety of reasons. Prune plants to maintain health and desired appearance by pruning out dead, diseased and unwanted branches. Old flowers and fruit should also be removed as they may become unsightly. Pruning faded flowers (dead heading) enables the plants to put more energy into growth versus making seeds. By pruning plants regularly, you can control size and appearance without having to prune extensively. Late fall is a good time to evaluate deciduous plants for pruning after the leaves have fallen. When to Prune? Selecting the proper time to prune is important. Heavy pruning at the wrong time of year can stimulate unwanted growth or prevent flowering or fruiting. Before pruning, consider time of year, type of plant and flowering periods of certain plants. In Blaine County, when late fall and early winter hit, prune your deciduous shrubs (shrubs that flower after May 31) and deciduous trees. In the latter portion of winter or early spring, prune your conifer shrubs and trees (all conifers except for pines) and broadleaf (for shrubs). Late spring or early summer is the ideal time to prune your deciduous shrubs (for shrubs that flower before June 1), deciduous trees, broadleaf evergreen shrubs (for shrubs grown for flowers) and pines. For more information on pruning and taking care of your plants and trees this fall season, please visit: http:// www.extension.uidaho.edu/idahogardens/tsv/plts.htm.

Energy Efficient Appliances Buy New or Use Old Ones?

emember those jokey car ads—“If you don’t buy a car, how will I save you any money?” Sure, you’d save beaucoup buck on utilities with spiffy new kitchen appliances. Realistically, though, by postponing replacements, you will save an even bigger pile by lengthening the life and upgrading the efficiency of the ones you already own. Locating a refrigerator or freezer in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area is half the energy battle, and the other half is vacuuming the condenser coil four times a year. Use a dollar bill to check the fit of the door gasket, and replace it if the bill is easy to remove. If your freezer does not self-defrost, don’t postpone beyond a quarter-inch of frost. And, please ask yourself, do you

really use that energy-sucking old fridge in the garage? Reducing hot water temperatures certainly saves money, but can compromise dishwasher function; 120 degrees F. is a good trade-off temperature for cleaning and sanitizing dishes (or consult your manual). Check the food filter under the lower spray arm periodically to remove food debris, and use a needle to open clogged spray jets. The life and energy efficiency of an appliance often depends on its use and abuse. By performing some simple maintenance, you can prolong the lifespan and actually save some big bucks. tws

Trout Unlimited meeting Thursday

This month’s Trout Unlimited– Hemingway Chapter meeting is from 5 to 7 p.m. this Thursday, Nov. 3 at the Roosevelt Restaurant in Ketchum. The guest speaker is Art Talsma, director of restoration and stewardship, The Nature Conservancy, and he will be speaking on the Heart Rock Ranch Stream Restoration Project. Art will talk first about Idaho’s trout fishery using a PowerPoint presentation with images, and engage the group with what is at risk with our fisheries. He will then talk about water conservation at Silver Creek and then transition to the restoration projects on Crystal Creek, Spring Creek, and along the Big Wood River on the Heart Rock Ranch. The Heart Rock Ranch restoration project is one of the largest projects currently underway in Idaho and should be of real interest to all local anglers. INFO: 622-4613. Admission is free.

briefs Author Lois Lowry will speak Thursday Lois Lowry, one of the most acclaimed children’s and young adult authors writing today, will speak in Ketchum on Thursday as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts 2011/2012 Lecture Series. Lowry, a two-time winner of children’s literature’s most prestigious award, the Newbery Medal, is known for addressing difficult subject matter ranging from racism to terminal illness, murder and the Holocaust. “We invited Lois here as part of our multidisciplinary project, Awkward Stage: Adolescence and Identity, because she is so good at reaching adolescents,� says Britt Udesen, The Center’s director of education and humanities. “Lowry’s The Giver is widely read in our school district and is required reading for students at the Wood River Middle School. But like all the best children’s literature, her work resonates with adults, too.� Lowry won the Newbery Medal for The Giver in 1993, which addresses the issue of questioning authority, and Number the Stars in 1990. She did not publish her first book until she was 40 years old but has made up for lost time since then, publishing more than 30 books, including an autobiography. While in the Wood River Valley,

hen I look at my puppy, Lily, I smile. Her endearing brown eyes, wide grin and energetic tail wagging brings me great joy. She loves me unconditionally, is an ever-present companion and my most reliable exercise partner. I’m not surprised when studies show that owning a pet lowers blood pressure better than some medications, extends the lives of heart attack patients, and calms those suffering from Alzheimer’s. Earlier this year, I had to say goodbye to my beloved 13-yearold yellow Labrador retriever, Coral. At seven and a half, Coral became paralyzed in her hindquarters from pouncing too aggressively on a tennis ball during a game of fetch. Through months of canine physical therapy, she regained her ability to walk and play. At about the same time Coral was injured, I had a sudden change in my ability to move. One day I was a professional mountain bike racer and the next I was unable to bend over

and pick a pen up off the floor or walk without a limp. Coral and I were recovery partners. Healing required many specialists, alternative approaches, patience, dedication and daily exercise. Coral showed me how to manage my injury with grace and dignity. Lacking higher cognitive function, Coral was not plagued with a mind that could regret, get depressed, worry about others’ opinions, lose confidence and doubt her ability. She had an incredible drive and will to live. Her staggering gait and occasional falls did not slow her down. She still ran after tennis balls and barked at dogs twice her size, chasing them until she collapsed. Before her passing, I wrote five lessons Coral taught me: 1. Daily therapy keeps you moving – move it or lose it! 2. It’s okay to accept help from others – swallow your ego and be vulnerable.

3. Stay focused on what you want – not on what you’ve lost. 4. It’s all about a positive attitude – believe in yourself and be hopeful about the future. 5. Never give up the things you love – don’t accept limitations, and chase your ball! Coral’s nerve damage eventually spread to her front legs, leaving her unable to move on her own. With such a poor quality of life, my husband and I decided it was time to let her go. I think of her often and recall the example she set. When I hurt and start to feel sorry for myself, I remember Coral’s strength and smile. tws

I Had No Idea‌ that it’s National Caregivers Month

ccording to the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA), more than 65 million people, 29 percent of the U.S. population, provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend, spending an average of 20 hours per week providing care. Those services are valued at $375 million per year. Seventy-three percent of today’s family caregivers who care for someone over the age of 18 either work or have worked while providing care. One in five caregivers has taken a leave of absence at work. American businesses can lose as much as $34 billion each year due to employees’ need to care for loved ones 50 years of age or older. The Connection wishes to Thank all of you who are caring for those not able to care for themselves. Whether you are a family caregiver or a professional caregiver take a moment during National Caregiver Month and pat yourself on the back. Care giving is often a very difficult job and for those of you who have stepped up to plate and enabled your family member or client to remain in the home and to “Age in Place� you are to be commended. Thank You!

If you would like more information and assistance with your in home care needs please call us at 208-788-3468.

es, Halloween is so yesterday! But the thrill of things that go bump in the night lingers for a few more days as Laughing Stock Theatre Company presents Agatha Christie’s “Black Coffee� through Sunday. The play—the only one Agatha Christie wrote featuring Hercule Poirot—will keep most audience members guessing until the end. In this case, Poirot is called by Sir Claud Armory—Britain’s leading physicist—to investigate the theft of a top-secret explosives formula. Everyone’s a suspect and, fortunately for Armory, everyone’s still close at hand in the handsome library built by the play’s director, Jamey Reynolds. Fans of PBS’ “Poirot� series won’t have any trouble getting used to Jamey Reynolds’ version of the meticulous Belgian detective. With a fake mustache hovering above his upper lip, Reynolds looks very much like the David Suchet version. And Reynolds does a fine imitation of Poirot, although he seems a little wordier than we’re accustomed

to. Joy Bond does a good job of providing laughs as Miss Armory, the sister of the inventor. And two relative newcomers to the nexStage—Hollie Ann Hatch and Erin Burbank—turn in nice performances as a brooding wife and a flappy niece. As this was one of Agatha Christie’s first plays, the twoand-one-half-hour play is a little longer than it need be. Consequently, you might want to shore yourself up with a nice cup of black coffee before you come—or enjoy one in the nexStage Theatre’s new sippy cups. But be sure it’s finished before the play gets underway—you don’t want to be drinking coffee when those on stage begin drinking theirs! What: “Black Coffee� When: 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Where: nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum Tickets: $20 and $30, available at the nexStage box office or by calling 208-4TKS. tws

briefs Teens Choose “Clockwork Angel� as favorite book

After nearly 10,000 votes were cast nationwide between August 15 and September 15, teen readers selected “Clockwork Angel� by Cassandra Clare as their number one favorite book from the 2011 Teens’ Top Ten list. The Young Adult Library Services Association, or YALSA, is a division of the American Library Association, and it sponsors the Teen’s Top Ten Project. The project first helps teen book groups receive advance copies of new young adult titles. Then, teens discuss the merit of the works, evaluate each, and nominate 25 titles from which the top ten will be selected. Finally, teens across the country cast votes on three of their favorite titles, thus revealing the 2011 winners. Clare’s “Angel� is a prequel to the Infernal Devices series. It takes place in Victorian London, where ladies and gentlemen hold one another in formal regard. Packed with supernatural beings, action, suspense, humor and, of course, romance, it’s easy to see why teens give it the esteemed rating of number one. This book is available for checkout at the Hailey Public Library. For more information on the club, scholars, or titles, please contact the library at 788-2036 or visit the Website at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

Magic Valley Mall Celebrates 25 Years

The Magic Valley Mall is celebrating 25 years by hosting a birthday party for girls of all ages. It will be held Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in Center Court featuring food, entertainment and 20 activities. The Magic Valley Mall has been a part of the Magic Valley’s economic growth since opening the doors with 41 stores. Of the stores that operated on opening day, only JC Penney, Shopko, Jensen Jewelers, Payless Shoes, Mrs. Powell’s and Orange Julius have stayed in their original locations. The Bon Marche, now Macy’s, opened in 1987, and Sears in 1989. Dorothy Custer, who recently appeared on the Jay Leno Show celebrating her 100th birthday, will host a toast to the women of the valley. A $1 donation to the event goes to displaced women at area shelters. They will be treated as princesses that night thanks to the generosity of Magic Valley citizens and businesses.

Perseverance Counts

H

ealth issues can be a real drag, especially if you’re young and all you want to do is snowboard and play hoops. But as with all the curve balls that life throws us, it’s how you respond that shows true character. Wood River High School senior Quentin Dowdle is the perfect example. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes just days before his twelfth birthday, Dowdle decided to not let it get him down and instead chose to make it work for him. “It was a really sad day,� he said. “My parents really took it hard. But I remember the whole family sitting around and watching South Park that night and realizing that it could be much worse. When I woke up the next day, I had to realize what had happened and decide not to rebel or refuse to do the work. Instead, I had to jump on the research. Basically, your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin and that can be deadly. The outcome is that you have to check your insulin levels twelve times a day and you have to give yourself shots to regulate it. What complicates things is that I love sports and I always have to have food nearby when I play and I always have my backpack with me with all of my supplies.� A love of the outdoors and recreation comes naturally when you grow up in the Wood River Valley. “I really love it here and I couldn’t have asked for more. It really has a small town feel and there are all the activities to do outdoors. I’ve been to cities and I’d probably like to try living in one while I’m young. But coming back here is always special. Let’s face it, you can’t beat the weather and there is nothing like living in a ski town.� While at Wood River, Dowdle is carrying a 3.8 grade point average and for the third year he is a member of the National Honor Society—this year serving as vice president. To be a member of NHS, you must carry a certain grade point average and do community service both inside and outside of school. “I spent two summers working as a camp counselor at the Environmental

Camp that is held for sixth-graders up at Cathedral Pines, where we teach the kids about plants, global awareness and environmental issues,� said Dowdle. “Doing community service is the greatest as it gives you rewards that you just can’t find elsewhere,� he added. As for the school itself, Dowdle has nothing but positive words. “We’re just so lucky to have a school like this. I’ve seen plenty of other schools while playing basketball and none of them compare to Wood River. We also have the best teaching staff because they are so committed and they really care about their jobs and the success of their students.� He has also availed himself of the A.P.—Advanced Placement—courses that the school offers. This year he will be taking economics and calculus after taking government and composition and literature last year and American history his sophomore year. “The classes can be so much more interesting and they really push you. Math remains my favorite subject. I love the fact that there is always a set answer and that things aren’t so subjective. As for the future, I’m thinking about a career in math or engineering.� In the meantime, there are plenty of athletic pursuits to keep Dowdle busy. He is a member of the basketball and tennis teams and he indulges his passion for mountain biking whenever he can. “I’m really attracted to it because it gives me the chance to go by myself and to recharge and get some great thinking done. I’m not really big on competing as a mountain biker, but the sport really has a hold on me and it’s something that I can do my whole life.� For Dowdle, it’s going to be a long and very interesting journey. tws

Wood River Photographer, Snyder Honored BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he Idaho Photographic Society will hold what will be its final luncheon next Friday. And members have chosen to honor longtime Wood River Valley photographer Steve Snyder for his lifetime achievement during the luncheon. The lunch will start at noon at the Blaine County Senior Center, 721 S. 3rd Ave., in Hailey. The cost of the luncheon is $6 for those under 60. A lanky 6-foot-2, 175-pound man with a bushy gray mustache, Snyder has epitomized Sun Valley’s Western heritage, dressed as he always is in his cowboy hat, Wrangler jeans, big silver belt buckle and cowboy boots. He fell in love with Ketchum during a cross-country trip in 1970. And the man who once received accolades from Ansel Adams for his photographs promptly went to work capturing the Old West spirit with his trusty Hasselblad. Snyder’s big black and white photographs depicting weatherbeaten cabins in the Copper Basin, a coyote making its way across a snow-covered hill, and panoramas of the Sawtooths captivated those who stopped in Snyder’s former gallery in Ketchum, which was strewn with cow skulls and other remnants of the West. He also has taken hundreds of black and white photographs of the Big Hitch ore wagons during the 40 years he’s lived in Ketchum. His photographs have been featured on two of the commemorative Wagon Days posters—the latest in 2004 featured the ore wagons lined up

Snyder’s Grey Goose and His Home Away from Home.

in the dark the night before they were to roll down the streets of Ketchum in the annual Big Hitch Parade. Snyder, who tends to have a cosmic flair to his thoughts, said he has always been in awe of the wagons as “moveable sculptures of repetitive force.� “They represent movement, power, building, expansion, settling. These wagons have seen it all—from where we’ve come to where we are today,� he said. The Idaho Photographic Society, which is honoring Snyder, was organized in 1987 “to stimulate public awareness and appreciation of the photographic process.� During its zenith, the photographic society had about 40 members, said member Jeanne Flowers. It held monthly meetings, photo-shoot outings, and workshops taught by Jack Williams, Dale Gillette and other Sun Valley photographers. And, it co-sponsored a traveling exhibit titled “Photographic Visions� with Boise’s Idaho Photographic Workshop during Idaho’s 1990 Centennial. During its time, the organi-

zation’s members witnessed a number of important changes in photography, including the resurrection of alternative processes like gum bichromate and platinum, which are still popular today, and the digital revolution. Digital photography and social media have largely replaced meetings and workshops, said Flowers.  tws

Free Waxing Clinic for Nordic Skiers

Nordic skiers, don’t get caught without wax on your skis. Winter will soon be here and it’s time to think skiing! The Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) and TOKO invite you to learn how to wax your own Nordic skis at two free clinics offered Mondays, Nov. 7 and Nov. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Art Room of the Community Campus in Hailey. Bring your skis (and any additional waxing equipment if you have it) for these “hands-on� clinics. Join TOKO wax expert EJ Harpham to learn the basic waxing techniques. The clinics will provide an opportunity to learn basic ski base prep and hot-waxing. Remember, great ski bases equal fast skis and that makes skiing more fun!

Injured Bear Put Down PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

H

ibernation came a little too late for one Sun Valley resident A yearling black bear weighing about 150 pounds had to be put down about 10 a.m. Monday morning after it was hit by a car on Highway 75. The bear was not crossing in a crosswalk. The bear tried to limp away from a police officer, Fish and Game officer and an Animal Control officer who found it sitting on a fence in a home in the nearby Cold Springs area.

in the world right now and he’s one of our favorites because he’s so dark and so funny,� said Director Jon Kane. “The whole creation is just really brilliant. Here you have people dying under suspicious circumstances and, on this particular occasion, the gravedigger must dig up his wife’s body and everyone is curious to see what will come of that.� McDonagh, an Irish playwright and filmmaker, is known for his Oscar-nominated film, “In Bruges,� about two hit men who hide out after a job gone wrong. He also filmed “Six-Shooter,� a film about a man who encounters a psychotic young man on a train ride just hours after his wife’s death. The film won an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film

“I have and always will be dedicated to the community!�

But the officers closed in and shot it about 15 minutes later after determining that the bear’s shoulder had been broken too severely for it to survive in the wild, said Blaine County Sheriff’s Sgt. Brad Gelskey. The Cold Springs neighborhood has been a regular conduit for wild game the past few weeks thanks to regular appearances by a mountain lion, which appears to be making visits from the Cold Springs side of Baldy, and a Papa, Mama and Baby Elk that are nibbling on the willow trees as they prepare for winter.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I thought that banishing all smokers to the far end of the parking lot was unfair, but my company's new "no-smoking" policy is downright evil. As of Friday, there's a new company policy that requires us to quit smoking at work and home within 12 months or find new employment. To cushion the blow, they offered to enroll us in a stop-smoking program. But the last time I tried to quit, I gained 20 pounds. My first thought is to find a new job, but as I check the ads, I see some companies advertising for non-smokers. What should I do, quit smoking and gain weight, or look for a new job and chance finding the same problem at the next company?

• • •

Carry: I'm sure it seems like your

company is butting in where they don't belong, but your situation is one that many employees have faced. Cash: The trend of businesses trying to limit their employees from smoking started many years ago. The idea came about when health care costs started soaring and companies looked for ways to lower their premiums. It turns out that that smokers cost employers more in health benefits than non-smokers,

Fast Facts Smoke Screen

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 10/30/11 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

over $1500 per year for each employee according to some surveys. Carry: So much like your company, businesses started requiring their workers to quit the habit. It's actually more cost effective for them to offer stop-smoking programs than pay the increased health benefits. Cash: Banning smokers from employment did not violate any discrimination acts at the time since it was considered a lifestyle choice. Although since then, many states have adopted laws to protect workers from smoking discrimination. Carry: If your area has not adopted such laws, it is possible that you can encounter this problem

with another employer. Cash: But before you quit your job, you may consider the idea of giving up smoking. What seems like a disturbing company policy, could actually be a great opportunity. Carry: Since you've already tried quitting once before, you obviously considered it worthwhile. Take advantage of the new company program. Not only could it change your life, but you won't have to look for a new job. Cash: There are methods to quitting smoking without gaining those 20 pounds. But who knows, if too many people gain weight, maybe your company will put in a gym!

Smoking can be costly to more than just your health. Businesses lose millions of dollars every year due to costs associated with employees who smoke. Surveys estimate that smokers take more than twice the sick days than their non-smoker counterparts costing millions in lost production. Increased health care costs and added workman's compensation claims make the idea of a smokefree staff rather enticing to many companies.

Teen Smoking

What is the best way to stop smoking? Don't start. Each day more than 4,000 teens try smoking, according to the American Cancer Society. Almost half of them become daily smokers. Talk to your children before they get started. Tobacco use can start by age 11 with many children becoming addicted by 14 years old. It's recommended to start discussions with your kids around age 5 or 6 and continue talking with them about tobacco use throughout high school. •

Reader Humor Smoke Free

The other day I ran into an old friend and fellow business owner that I hadn't seen in years. As we caught up on recent events, we finally got around to discussing our businesses. I told him that I was considering instituting a new nosmoking policy and was looking forward to seeing the results. He quickly interrupted and told me that he had to sell his company shortly after instituting a similar policy. When I asked him why he replied, "Without nicotine, all the employees were too cranky to work with."

(Thanks to Sheila G.)

How does long-term care affect America’s working population? BY MICHELLE SANDOZ

A

t first glance, long-term care may seem to affect only the older generation. As a business owner, you might already know differently. Even though your employees probably don’t currently need long-term care themselves, it’s likely that some of your employees have a relative or loved one who relies on them to provide care. The MetLife Study of Working Caregivers and Employers Health Care Costs, February 2010, showed that six in 10 family caregivers are employed. What does that mean for you? As a business owner, you rely on your employees to keep things running smoothly. No amount of automation and training can replace that one key employee — someone dedicated, reliable and talented. But when the health of a loved one demands that employee’s attention, his or her focus will shift away from work and to personal matters. Unfortunately, long-term care is a very real risk, and one of which you might not have given much thought. In addition to adjusting schedules and missing work, caring for an older family member may cause your employees to think about changing jobs. And they might start thinking about their own long-term care needs. As a business owner, you have the opportunity to help alleviate the strain your employees

face and offer them a valuable benefit at the same time. You might think that the major medical you currently offer will cover long-tem care expenses. Unfortunately, that is not the case; major medical is designed to pay for acute illnesses, not lasting ones. By offering some type of long-term care protection, you are not only helping increase your employees’ loyalty to your company, you are also showing them that you are aware of their needs. Many insurance companies are currently offering longterm care insurance products designed for the worksite. Like individual long-term care products, these policies have different features and benefits that you can tailor to meet your individual needs. These policies allow you to pick several different options at different premium levels and are designed to pay a benefit when the insured becomes incapacitated due to an accident or illness. By adding long-term care insurance as a paid benefit or offering it on a voluntary basis, you are providing your employees the means to cover themselves—and possibly their family members—from the potential financial devastation a long-term care need can cause. In fact, many worksite plans will offer the option for spouses or parents to obtain coverage at discounted worksite rates. Best of all, these

plans are designed to be affordable. A 2010 Prudential LongTerm Care Cost Study showed that the average annual cost of professional long-term care is over of $90,000. Chances are your employees aren’t saving enough to cover even a one- or two-year need, much less an extended stay in a facility. But, when long-term care insurance is offered as an employee benefit, most employees can afford the premiums. It’s another way you’re helping them plan for the future. Of course, if you decide that long-term care insurance is the answer, you’ll want to meet with a qualified long-term care specialist to select the right insurer, the right plan, and the right benefit options for your employees. It might take a little time and effort to choose the coverage that best suits your needs. But it also just might be the benefit that shows your employees that you are as dedicated to them as you want them to be to you. Watch for my next article. I will be reviewing the tax advantages for companies offering long-term care insurance. tws
