GENERAL INFORMATION

here is an interesting parallel between Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery and NASA's space by: BALI SZABO program. Once President Jefferson settled on these two men (neither was his first choice), he also knew that it involved a full year of backto-school, when the two had to learn the practice and theory of most 19th-century science, as well as Susie Homemaker skills, like cooking. Astronauts are not only great pilots; they have science backgrounds. However, they are called upon to conduct strictly prescribed experiments by scientists here on Earth. Frequently, these are outside their area of expertise. Both undertakings involved the exploration of new worlds, pushing boundaries. The 20th-century was good for that. We may yet experience the reverse, the retreat, the rediscovery of things long forgotten  sustainability. Getting an experiment performed on a shuttle 's limited cargo bay is a daunting task. Research projects compete with each other. They have to undergo graded peer reviews. They have to have relevance to commerce or space travel. Engineering reviews determine whether the project can be done on board (problems with introducing living pollinators, like bees, needed to grow food plants). The project has to have a clear goal with a clear answer at its end.

habitat for non-humanity

Frost on the evergreens.

The second generation of sunflower experiments took place in the 1980s and ’90s aboard the Challengers and the Columbia. One of the objectives was the continual study of plant growth in space. The specific experiment involved electro-fusion. This involves two distinct gene pools, put next to each other and then made to combine by pulsing them with electricity. (Dr. Frankenstein and Igor). The experiments were conducted simultaneously back on Earth. Upon the shuttle's return, the fused cell cultures (to make a hybrid) were compared. The fusion worked better in zero gravity (less pressure on fragile cell membranes). Working with living plants and cell cultures is tough, because conditions and timetables cannot be guaranteed. The idiosyncrasies of space flight often force astronauts to improvise. The shuttle may have to return to Earth earlier than scheduled,

and the tests cannot be concluded. Launch delays can wreak havoc with plants. Also, scientists have to meet the shuttle at the landing site to immediately transfer the biotic material to controlled conditions, then transport everything back to Houston. Landing sites can change and the researchers have to chase the shuttle to the new site. The biggest bugaboo so far has been radiation. Living cells and the genomes controlling them cannot handle radiation increases. Chromosomal irregularities appear immediately. A lot of plants won't grow here in the Habitat because they can't handle the increased UV/infrared radiation found at 7000 feet. Interplanetary radiation (not to mention solar flares) is so intense; we have no shield against it. So far, any human travel to twp Mars is a pipe dream.

ast week, theweeklypaper launched our first annual GIVE section; we solicited as many non-profits as possible, and are sure that some were unintentionally overlooked, including the Blaine County Housing Authority, who was inadvertently left out after their information was sent in. Their information is as follows: The Blaine County Housing Authority (BCHA) has been in existence, in some structure, continuously since 1996. The current BCHA structure was established in 2007, to serve the Blaine County. They primarily

serve households earning at or below the area median income. Their mission is to advocate, promote, plan and preserve the long-term supply of desirable and affordable housing choices in all areas of Blaine County in order to maintain an economically diverse and vibrant community. Although BCHA does not hold an fundraising event, their funding comes from two primary sources: contract for services with the jurisdictions, and administrative fees on the sale and re-sale of community homes. Their volunteer Board of Commissioners’ wish for‌ a united

plan to continue supporting and building community homes‌ ongoing collaboration with community housing partners‌ and safe and attractive homes for all. For more information, contact Kathy Grotto, Executive Administrator at (208) 788-6102, by fax at (208) 788-6136, or by e-mail at kgrotto@bcoha.org. www. bcoha.org Please remember that we’re asking you to vote for your favorite non-profit of the ones that were listed in the section.

Caritas Chorale’s holiday singalong T By KAREN BOSSICK

Holiday Lights Contest

The orange and black lights of Halloween proved so successful that the Hailey Chamber of Commerce is hosting another go-around—this time with red, white and green Christmas lights. More than a dozen houses pulled out all the stops in the Chamber’s inaugural Halloween Decorating Contest last month. And more than 1,500 trick-or-treaters took to the streets for its Halloween Hoopla. The Chamber got so much feedback about how fun the event was that the Chamber decided to stage a Hailey Holiday Lights Decorating contest, said Chamber Director Heather LaMonica Deckard. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third in three categories: Residence, Most Green and Best Block. The deadline to enter is Thursday, Dec. 16. The judging will take place Dec. 17 and 18. “Lots of people decorate their home anyway. Maybe this will give them a little incentive to do even better,” said Anna Svidgal, Chamber spokesperson.

briefs BCRD Adult Men’s Basketball League

The Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) will be coordinating the adult men’s basketball league this season. The league format has been modified to include “A” and “B” division teams. Captains need to register their team in the appropriate division for the 10-game regular season schedule. The season will conclude with a seeded, double-elimination tournament. The season will begin in January and conclude in March. Games will be played on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings in the BCRD gymnasium. A mandatory captain’s meeting will be held on Dec. 20 at 6 p.m., at the Community Campus in Hailey. Team fees are $750 for the season. Please contact Brad Musbach at 578-5458 for more information or to register your team.

he choir will present the “Hallelujah Chorus.” But it’s up to you to chime in on “Silent Night” and other familiar Christmas carols and songs of the holiday. The Caritas Chorale will hold its fourth annual Family Holiday Sing-a-long at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 201 Sun Valley Road. “It’s a warm night that seems to get more and more fun each year,” said Choir Director Dick Brown. “The choir goes out to sing among the crowd and it’s geared to families—there will be a children’s choir. And I think there’s going to be snow that evening so it will be the perfect thing to get people in the mood for Christmas.” The sing-a-long is free. But Caritas is asking for donations of cash or a non-perishable food item to give to The Hunger Coalition. “This is Caritas’ way of giving back to the community,” said twp Brown.

Lewis said the couple has gone every year since they moved to the valley in December 1999. “We didn’t know a soul when we moved here so we decided we’d start different traditions. We’d heard of Festivals of Trees but had never been. Now it’s something we’d never miss. We see old friends there and it kicks off the holiday season. And it goes to such a good cause—the Senior Connection.” Admission is $50. For tickets or information call the Senior Connection at 788-3468. twp

Wednesday 12.1.10 scene..........................from pg 1 of mine,� he said. Those making their way to the ski hill over the Thanksgiving weekend found a maze of ribbons in the upper parking lot and greeters outside River Run Lodge that resembled chirpy canaries in their new yellow parkas. Lower Olympic sported more snow than it ever does on opening day—an open invitation to one skier to skin up and make a few turns on it. And one skier even cruised through Rock Garden. Lower College sported piles of

tempting snow but the Hershey Highway was looking a little too much like a S’more, even with a snow gun running full blast to allow the resort to open the run. Sun Valley’s mountain department kept on working through a Saturday snowstorm to spread mounds of manmade snow over runs like Blue Grouse and Upper Warm Springs in hopes of getting them open as soon as possible. They began seeing the fruits of their labor on Tuesday, opening Roundhouse Slope and Lower Canyon. twp

St. Thomas reflects on nativity

f an angel fell off a cloud, would he leave a hole? That’s one of the questions former U.S. Poet by: Karen Laureate Bossick Billy Collins and the folks at St. Thomas Episcopal Church will be asking us to ponder Sunday evening when they present their Third Annual Reflections on Christ’s Nativity. The hour-long service, at 5:30 p.m. at the church on Sun Valley Road, will feature a mixture of short lessons, carols and readings from traditional and contemporary poets ranging from Emily Dickinson to Collins. Among the poems: Vassar Miller’s “Morning Prayer,â€? which touches on creation, sin and the fall, the annunciation of Christ, Christ’s birth, Christ’s showing forth and our life in faith. “God, best at making in the morning, tossed stars and planets, singing and dancing, rolled Saturn’s rings, spinning and humming, twirled the earth so hard it coughed and spat the moon up‌â€? it begins. Members of St. Thomas Playhouse and the church will present the program under the direction of veteran actress Claudia McCain and the church’s music director, Dick Brown. The service is modeled after similar services that Rachel Brannon, wife of Church Pastor Kenneth Brannon, experienced while living in New York.

nstoppable has been exactly that at the box office – unstoppable. Action flicks will always be a staple of the holiday season. Taken note for note from the proverbial cliché script, these movies have a very predictable sense about them. For this movie, it’s the runaway train, bound to unleash havoc on whatever finds itself unfortunately in its way. It is for this reason that I didn’t exactly run to the movies for Unstoppable after being deluged with the mass advertising campaign that seemed to give you most of the film in sixty

L

ove planet Venus enters Scorpio for the second time this year. This time its journey through the mysterious realm will not only pose questions to our soul about the nature of relationships; it will also answer them. Instead of working out problems internally, you’ll find solutions through hands-on experience. The Sagittarius sun favors a risk taker, and there is no greater risk than to give your heart to another person. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You might think there is a good reason to be hard on yourself, but there isn’t. You need to get on your own side, and there is no time to waste thinking that you could have done better. You’ll do better when you know better and feel better. So start learning and move yourself into a feel-good place.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you were a plant, you would be a hardy one that doesn’t need a lot of water, special sunlight or pruning in order to look beautiful. But for all your self-containment, you still like the attention you get this week. People will fuss over you. You will feel like royalty, and it’s something you could really get used to. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You realize that just because you’re not comfortable with a task doesn’t mean it’s wrong for you to be doing it. After all, if you did only the things that made you comfortable, your life would be small and your character weak. That’s so not you! You’ll stretch out of your comfort zone to embrace a wild adventure.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The new people you’ve met recently will take some getting used to. You’ve been through this before. Though you often find that you instantly click with someone, it’s not always the case. Whether it’s business or pleasure, you’ll be glad you weathered the slight discomforts in order to figure out how to groove with others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Is it out with the old and in with the new? Or are you determined to stay loyal even when it’s clear there is no benefit to you in doing so. The question arises this week. It may be over something as small as which brand of printing paper to buy or which car wash to use, or as big as what job to take or whom to date. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are currently holding a gift of life. It can’t be experienced if you’re caught up in thinking about how great you were in the past, or feeling horrible about how bad you were in the past. Let go of the glory days and the gory days so that you can have an optimum experience with this day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As powerful as you are, you are not in total control of this scene. This is good news. Now you can give up the idea that you could have made everything work out better if you had just tried harder. It’s not all you. This week the theme is self-acceptance. When you accept yourself, you can truly enjoy life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Long ago, you couldn’t wait to be the big boss and tell everyone what to do. Now you’re in a position to give orders, and it’s not as easy as you thought it would be. In fact, it’s difficult to ask for certain things, and you’d rather not give a poor critique, either. You will find a way to handle all responsibilities with grace. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you’re dreaming, and you will be this week, dream

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are those days in which you have to dress up and pretend your way through a world that seems thoroughly artificial. You are still human, with human impulses -- no need to deny the thoughts you think are inappropriate or try to push them out of your mind. Chances are, others are thinking the same thing. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You stop searching for something that will improve your lot and start applying the riches you already have in a new way. It turns out that you had what you needed all along. Bonds are built through December. The channels of communication clear, and you’ll forgive someone, too. Love is romantic, spontaneous and adventuresome in 2011. There’s an important investment in February, and you’ll have to work hard to bring this one to fruition. August brings a victory twp for your team.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Know what you’re trying to communicate. Do so consciously because you will communicate something, whether you are trying to or not. You want to be in control of that message. Even in your silence, you will speak. You have a powerful delivery, too. With your lips closed, you will get your message across.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is only natural to ask, “What’s in it for me?” If you’re not asking it out loud or consciously, there is a subconscious mastermind inside you figuring out the gains and losses and tallying up the profits, emotional, financial or otherwise. No matter how selfless you are, you are also human.

new “shopping mall” is opening in Ketchum—just in time for the Christmas holiday shopping season. The lower floor of what used to be Jane’s Paper Place in Giacobbi Square has been transformed into an artisans’ bazaar of hand-painted gourds, jewelry, greeting cards and hand-painted clothing and skis and snowboard helmets. “Giacobbi Gallery Down Under,” as it’s being called, will open for business this Saturday, giving shoppers another local place to shop. “It’s a win-win situation,” said Bellevue artist Marie Stewart, who worked with Matt Engel to arrange for the artists to use the space on a commission basis. “The artists fill up the empty down-under space and create a buzz. And they get to have prime real estate until the space is more permanently leased.” Initially, the space will feature Narda Pitkethly’s hand-blown glass balls, Tonna Jones’ hand-painted gourds, Rachel Broderson’s painted Christmas gourd decorations, Gordon Williams’ and Julie Pendleton’s photography, Jeffry Mann’s fine furniture, Goody Smith’s knitted goods, Melissa Ayres’ and Serena Mantz’s jewelry, Mark Sheehan’s abstract metal sculpture, Mike Baldwin’s rock art and Marie Stewart’s acrylic paintings, handpainted clothing, greeting cards

You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

The high value of entrepreneurship

I

plunged into promoting entrepreneurship in our Valley a few years ago when I began to understand its distinct, yet overby: JIMA looked, value to Rice, Ph.D. our local economy. Consistently banging the entrepreneurs’ drum became important to remind people that business creation and expansion have been the principal drivers of the American economy, especially our rural economies. They are the ongoing font of new jobs, the ultimate measure of successful economic development. For years, our community leaders have tended to equate “economic development� with “real estate development,� omitting advocacy and investment in other types of enterprise. But it is essential that we go beyond the local conventional wisdom if we are to achieve a diverse, broad-based, year-round economy resilient to the challenges of seasonality, forest fires, gas prices, dying airline routes, terrorist fears, and recreation trends. It is critical, not just because the “wisdom� has failed us, but because most jobs associated with real estate development are temporary, low-skilled, and low-paid in a worldwide economy that is increasingly grounded in knowledge and technology-based employment. To be sure, real estate enterprise drove the single largest slice of our economy for more than a decade, but there has always been much more than that going on in the Valley. In fact, a 2001 consultant’s regional economic report for the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber of Commerce found that just 30 percent of the Valley’s economy derived directly and indirectly from the tourism and second-home vacationer markets. Yes, just 30 percent. While the study didn’t analyze the other 70 percent, you and I have only to think about our daily lives to know the diverse contributors: food producers, local artists, dentists, website designers, consultants, dry cleaning and drug stores, educators, athletes, inventors, grocery stores, computer specialists, headhunting businesses, picture frame makers, day care centers, product designers and manufacturers, private wealth management, sports equipment designers and manufacturers, civil engineers, writers, medical professionals, music teachers, clergy, sports clothing designers and manufacturers, the broadcast and print media. Notice that I have conservatively omitted from the list businesses that typically rely heavily on visitor demand: retail stores, personal services, galleries, landscape companies, adventure guides, property managers, caterers. These are already included in the reported 30 percent. But many of them are also patronized by year-round residents. Fortunately, over the past couple of years, community leaders have begun to understand that economic development includes “business� development,� distinct from for-profit real estate transactions. Now, there is much local talk about business retention and expansion, known as BR&E. This represents a critical shift in awareness, if not yet in strategic planning. After all, if you retain and grow local businesses, you retain and grow jobs. The Valley’s leaders are also targeting business attraction as a way to create new jobs while virtually overlooking assistance for business creation. The next shift in our leaders’ thinking must be to switch the position of these efforts. Statistics indicate that the number of jobs in the U.S. created by business relocation is less than one percent while those created by new and expanding businesses is greater than ninety-nine percent. Furthermore, start-ups are the most significant source of job growth in the U.S. each year. In Idaho, from the period 2000-2007, new businesses created roughly 300,000 jobs, expanding businesses created roughly 200,000 jobs and business relocations created roughly 10,500 jobs. Attracting businesses to a community was very popular two decades ago and is still one strategy for increasing local job numbers. But it has dropped low on the totem pole when compared to investing within communities to nurture what is already budding and flowering there, organically grounded in community needs and possibilities. Let’s listen carefully to what our leaders say and ensure that they pursue economic strategies proven to deliver the most bang for the buck; i.e., business creation, retention, and expansion. twp

Midon’s complex rhythm heats up the Opera House

Y

ou might be fooled into believing there’s a band on stage when Raul Midon plays the Sun Valley Opera House at 6:30 p.m. Friday. But it’s just one man by: Karen running his fingers over Bossick a guitar while he beats a syncopated percussion on his guitar and plays a bebop trumpet solo with his mouth. The man can sing, too, having worked as a backup singer for such artists as Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Julio and Enrique Iglesias, Shakira and Ricky Martin. Never mind that he and his twin brother were blinded as infants after spending time in an New Mexico hospital incubator without adequate eye protection. “I was told as a child, ‘You’re blind; you can’t do this,’� said Midon, whose father was a professional Argentine folkloric dancer. “I was told when I moved to New York, ‘You can’t do that, you’re not going to make it.� Make it he has, releasing his first solo album, “State of Mind� in 2005. Midon, who writes his own jazz, classical, blues, R&B, folk and flamenco, released a second album “A World Within a World� in 2007. His third album, “Synthesis,� features 10 of his own compositions and a cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbird.� Tickets for Midon’s concert are $20 for Sun Valley Center for the Arts members and $30 for non-members. To purchase tickets visit www.sunvalleycenter.org, call 208-726-9491 or stop by The Center at Fifth and Washington streets in Ketchum.

skiing is really that good. And it’s only Dec. 1. The Blaine County Recreation District jumped on last Tuesday’s storm with the vigor of a dog shaking off water, packing nearly everything from Galena Lodge to the bike path running through Bellevue. It’s easier to list what’s not open at this time than what’s open. Most of Billy’s Bridge is closed, all of the Lake Creek trails, the North Fork Loop and half of the Prairie Creek loop. Sun Valley Nordic Center has only Leif’s Loop, Practice and the small White Cloud’s Loop open at this time. There are a few thin places along the southernmost part of the Harriman Trail and there are a few soft spots in the Galena trails. But for the most part, trails are so smooth and silky they set even non-wax skis twp to singing.

The Board of Directors of The Community School has named David Holmes as the new Head of School, beginning July 1, 2011. Holmes will succeed Andy Jones-Wilkins, who will complete his fifth year of leadership in June, 2011. Jack Bunce, chair of the Board of Directors, said, “We are thrilled to have David assume this role. He brings extensive experience in independent school leadership and has a proven track record in advancing the excellence and position of educational organizations. He has a deep passion for student learning, teaching, and innovative educational programs.” Holmes served for 13 years as headmaster of Suffield Academy, a Connecticut boarding school. During his tenure, Suffield’s enrollment grew from 287 to 400 and fundraising increased by 400 percent. Suffield’s highly regarded leadership education program, which includes an extensive outdoor component, was created under David’s leadership. Holmes stated, “I am deeply honored to join The Community School as Head of School. I love that the school was created through the initiative of local parents and educators. This is a remarkable school in a remarkable community, with outstanding students and teachers. We will build on our extraordinary strengths to assure the long-term excellence and health of this special place.” David and his wife, Toni, are residents of Hailey and have two children, Christopher and Caleb. David, a multisport varsity athlete in college, is an avid skier, mountain biker and tennis player.

National Merit Semifinalists

Two Community School seniors, Zana Davey and Eric Griffith, were named Semifinalists in the 56th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. In addition, senior Kelly Hennessy was named as a Commended Student. Davey and Griffith were among the approximately 16,000 named as semifinalists nationwide. They now have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,400 National Merit Scholarships, worth more than $36 million. Kelly was among the roughly 34,000 Commended Students, who are recognized for their outstanding performance and academic promise. To become a finalist, a semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test.

The Sun Valley Artist Series held the first of its free lecture performances to acquaint people with great classical composers last week at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. It will hold additional lecture performances next spring. But next Saturday it will launch the first of five winter classical music performances, starting with guitar player Sharon Isbin.

usan Spelius Dunning and Steve Gannon just returned from Italy. But they don’t have time for jet lag. The co-founders of the Sun Valley Artist Series hosted the first of their Great Composers Lecture Series last week at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden as a light snow fell outside. Every seat was taken in the garden greenhouse as harpsichordist David Tacher treated music lovers to a look at the unique workings of the harpsichord, while discussing and per-

forming the music of Scarlatti. And on Saturday, Dec. 11, the couple will launch their second Sun Valley Artist Series, which they started last year to offer the valley classical musical during winter. They’ll do it with none other than acclaimed guitarist Sharon Isbin, a multiple Grammy Award winner who has given sold-out performances throughout the world in such great halls as New York’s Carnegie Hall, Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center and Madrid’s Teatro Real. “The fact that she’s even coming is huge, let alone the fact that she’s performing in a small venue of just 400 seats,” says Dunning. Isbin will perform at 7 p.m. Dec. 11 at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. Tickets for the entire five-con-

his January, the Environmental Resource Center, Wood River Land Trust, and Sawtooth National Recreation Area will launch the third year of our local Idaho Master Naturalist chapter. Each year begins with a 43-hour training course which provides participants with a broad background in the natural sciences - this session includes topics such as astronomy, botany, rangeland management, and snow science. To certify as a Master Naturalist, participants then give 40 hours of service to various non-profits and agencies in our valley. Our members have, among other projects, collected sagebrush seed for restoration projects, delivered environmental education programs at the symphony, and assisted researchers at bird banding stations. Chapter members gain new skills and knowledge while agencies increase their organizational capacity, making this a program that greatly benefits the entire community.

Mike Chapman named go-to leader

H

ailey Fire Chief Mike Chapman is on call 24/7 not just for the City of Hailey but for the entire United States. Perhaps, even the world. by: Karen Chapman is one of Bossick 20 fire chiefs nationwide appointed to the International Association of Fire Chiefs’ new “Go Team.” That means he will be asked to get to the scene of a disaster within 12 hours of a request. Typically, most disasters don’t have effective management of a scene for days or weeks. He could be called on to assist a fire department after the loss of a firefighter or to serve as an intermediary during civil unrest in a city where the city’s police and fire departments don’t get along. He could also be asked to fly to Alaska following an earthquake to assess the needs of a community and to coordinate the myriad of agencies that are called on to respond, including the Salvation Army, environmental groups and local, state and federal agencies, such as the U.S. Coast Guard. Six of the new team’s members were sent to help with the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Their deployment was considered a success in a situation where the Haitian government offered ineffectual leadership and many of the representatives of the countries responding refused to talk with one another, Chapman said Chapman and Assistant Fire Chief Kirk Hale from the Tualatin Valley Fire District near Portland, Ore., are responsible for FEMA’s Region 10, which encompasses the states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. But –Heather Dawson they may be called on at any Hailey City Administrator time to provide

assistance anywhere in the United States or the world. FEMA is contributing $1 million to the Go Team to be used for training, deployment and equipment. Chapman and his counterparts will receive no pay. Chapman has degrees in fire administration and fire science. He hired on as Hailey’s fire chief 19 years ago, after serving 11 years with the fire department in Vail, Colo., and seven more with Boston’s. Chapman said he was attracted to Go Team because of his family’s experience with having two homes destroyed by hurricanes in the Virgin Islands. They built a hurricane-proof home in Hawaii only to see it destroyed when a non-hurricane proof home fell into it, knocking the pilings out from under it. “I got to observe the benefits and failures of the government response. And mostly I saw the fail-

ures,” he said. “It took two to three weeks to get help to the people. And many of the rescuers were so busy helping people in the bigger cities that no one went to the smaller towns, the little guys who had been hurt.” Hailey Mayor Rick Davis said the city is honored and proud to have Chapman chosen for the new role. “He has years and years of training and experience to go along with this new position,” he said. City Administrator Heather Dawson agreed. “The way Mike thinks and performs during an emergency is truly a beautiful thing to watch,” she said. “He’s very present to the person he’s attending to, constantly evaluating them, even as he assesses the traffic and bystanders around him. And it was amazing the way he worked with volunteers when the Rowe fire threatened Hailey more than 10 years ago.” twp

Valley entities claim December: Winter Preparedness Month Citing the importance of emergency preparedness in the Wood River Valley, the Mayors of Bellevue, Carey, Hailey, Ketchum, and Sun Valley, the Blaine County Sheriff, and the Chairman of the Blaine County Commissioners have declared December as Winter Preparedness Month. They join together to ask residents to be ready for winter emergencies and encourage individuals, families, and businesses to take action and prepare for winter. “I hope all residents will take time through this month to learn about the various resources available to them and ways they can prepare for winter,” said Ketchum Mayor Hall. “As we know from the power outage last Christmas, disasters can come at any time, but through proactive cooperation we can be sure that the health and well-being of the Wood River Valley communities will be protected in the event of an emergency.” Blaine County Sheriff Femling added, “We live in a mountain environment and should plan for extended snow storms and chilling temperatures. Being prepared has made the difference for many people surviving the elements in an emergency situation. Everyone has a responsibility to be prepared for a minimum of three days. Every household, business, and institution needs an emergency plan for dealing with power outages or other storm-related emergencies.” Hailey Mayor Davis said, “Our Valley is renowned for supporting each other during emergencies. You may want to include elderly friends, relatives and neighbors who live alone in your emergency preparations. Neighbors helping neighbors strengthens our entire community. The Mayors of Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey, Carey, and Bellevue, the Blaine County Commissioner Chairman, and Blaine County Sheriff have joined forces to spread the word on 2010-11 Winter Preparedness Joining Together For Preparedness Efforts community preparedness. Through this partnership, they hope to encourage every Wood River Valley resident to become better prepared to handle emergencies at work, at school and at home by following these simple steps: 1. Make an emergency supply kit and emergency communications plan: Create an emergency kit that includes enough food, water, and medicine to take care of your family and pets for three days. Plan in advance what you will do to communicate in an emergency. Family emergency plan templates, an emergency supply kit checklist and other resources are also available at www.ready.gov (English website) or www.listo.gov (Spanish website). 2. Get Informed: Bookmark your local City emergency website or the Blaine County Emergency Preparedness website (http://blainesheriff. com/public_safety.asp). Sign up for the E-911 Emergency Notification Program through the Blaine County website There are a variety of methods for notification available. 3. 3. Take Preventative Measures: You can do much to be prepared for winter conditions. For example, service your snow removal equipment and have rock salt on hand to melt ice on walkways. Make sure you have sufficient heating fuel; regular fuel sources may be cut off. Winterize your home. You can extend the life of your fuel supply at home by insulating walls and attics; caulk and weather-strip your home doors and windows; install storm windows; ensure pipes are insulated Keep cars and other vehicles fueled and in good repair, with a winter emergency kit in each. Ensure your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detectors have fresh batteries.

Buddy Levy

Levy decodes history Buddy Levy in the spotlight on The History Channel By KAREN BOSSICK

B

uddy Levy has spent his life debunking the myths behind larger-than-life characters such as Davy Crockett and King Montezuma. The 1978 Wood River High School grad has parlayed his research into such books as “American Legend: The Real Life Adventures of David Crockett” and “Conquistador: Hernan Cortes, King Montezuma and the Last Stand of the Aztecs.” Now the Washington State University English professor, who lives in Moscow, Idaho, is parlaying his research skills into a gig with the new History Channel show, “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded.”

The show premieres locally at 8 p.m. Thursday on The History Channel (Channel 41 for valley residents with Cox Cable service). The first show will examine the secret symbols, codes and conspiracy theories surrounding a cornerstone at the White house laid by Freemasons. Others will examine and the hidden messages contained in the Statue of Liberty and the ciphers protecting the location of lost Confederate gold. One will even look at a subject of interest to many Idahoans— whether Meriwether Lewis committed suicide or was murdered. Levy says his background as a journalist and a historical researcher has given him the ability to look at the big picture in an objective manner. “Sometimes the things you find are not the things you went looking for in the first place,” he said. “And that’s very exciting to me.” twp

There’s water on Mars By KAREN BOSSICK

M

ore than 400 people packed into the Church of the Big Wood last week, hoping that acclaimed astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson would show them a picture of the universe that they’d never seen before. The director of the Hayden planetarium didn’t let them down. “There is water on Mars,” he said. Tyson paused as the slide came up to reveal a glass of water sitting on top of a Mars candy bar. Such was the tone of the evening as Tyson alternated between seriousness and wit that kept the audience chuckling. If Tyson had come hoping to see Sun Valley’s dark skies for himself he was disappointed. The moon was clouded over on a night that foreshadowed snow. But the animated Tyson kept the star slides coming inside the church for about two hours as he related hard-to-imagine concepts to earthly things the audience could relate to. Tyson showed the audience a meteor crater in the Arizona desert a mile across and deep enough to submerge a 60-story building. “A lot of my friends are impressed by the Grand Canyon. You look at this and realize this was made in a tenth of a second. How long did it take to make the Grand Canyon what it is today?” he asked. Tyson talked about the Apophis asteroid—a rock bigger

than the Rose Bowl that is hurtling towards the Earth on what could be a collision course. If it struck southern California, it would release the energy of 100 nuclear bombs and devastate several California counties, he said. If it slams into the Pacific Ocean, it could plunge three miles deep, sending a tsunami onto the West coast five stories high. And that would be even more damaging, he said. There is a one in 37 chance that Apophis could slam into the Earth on Friday the 13th in April 2029. But scientists could get it to miss Earth completely by moving the trajectory just a little bit, he added. “The best thing you need to know about Pluto? “Get over it,” he said. “It’s not a ninth planet but the first object dismissed in a whole new bunch of real estate. But the laments keep coming, including one Tyson shared from an elementary school student lamenting Pluto’s downsizing. “Dear Scientist,” the student wrote. “If you make Pluto a planet again, then science books will be right.” twp

Financial Planning ~ good advice from local businesses ~

Don’t rely on others for your retirement By PATRICK BUCHANAN, STATE FARM AGENT

R

ecent debates about Social Security and the increasing number of employers reducing or eliminating employee pensions have underscored the need for a sound retirement plan. Gone are the days when employees were guaranteed a percentage of their salaries once they leave a company. While Social Security may or may not change, it was never intended to be the sole source of retirement income. Retirement planning is something everyone needs regardless of their existing situations. If the current financial debates tell us anything it’s this: the only funding you can count on is that which you do yourself. Some of the options you have are individual retirement accounts (IRAs) or an employer-sponsored plan such as 401(k). Contributions you make to a 401(k) can reduce your federal income tax burden and the contribution

limits are higher than those of an IRA. Plans are available for any size of business, be it a large corporation or a small mom and pop operation. Contributions to traditional IRAs may be income-tax deductible. While Roth IRA contributions are not deductible qualified, distributions are received free from federal income taxes. An IRA is something you can set up with the help of a financial professional. There are a number of options available when choosing how you want to fund your IRA. No one can be sure what the future holds in store. Making preparations for a number of possibilities can begin with careful planning. You can start by contacting a financial professional to discuss your goals and twp how to reach them.

Zions, loans BY KAREN BOSSICK

B

ankers have a new wrinkle to deal with. For the first time in their lives, bankers are having to concentrate on soliciting loans rather than deposits. “Every banker is having a hard time thinking through this,� James Abbot told about 50 people who turned out for the Sun Valley speaker Series put on by Zions Bank last week. Abbot, a former Wall Street analyst, now directs investor relations for Zions Bancorporation. He told the business people gathered at the Sun Valley Lodge that a record 52 percent of small businesses do not want a loan right now. At the same time, there’s been an increase in desposits. “We’re seeing a supply-demand imbalance in loans,� he said. If things continue as they are, household debt or mortgages will be at a 30-year low so Americans will have a lot of cash in their pocket, Abbot said. The question is whether they will have the propensity to go out and spend it. Small business sales are beginning to balance out. But the last big dip in small business optimism came when Europe fell of the cliff and what’s happening in Ireland could have some effect, especially if crisis spreads to rest of Europe, he said. twp

Landowner agreements protect salmon habitat, and working ranchland Two conservation easements along the Lemhi River near Leadore will protect nearly 2400 acres of salmon and wildlife habitat, tributary streams and working ranchland, according to The Nature Conservancy. The conservation agreements include the restoration of three Lemhi River tributaries used as spawning and rearing habitat by salmon and steelhead trout—Canyon, Lee and Little Springs creeks. The project will also increase water flows in the Lemhi, creating better conditions for migrating fish. The Nature Conservancy purchased

one of these properties, the 1350-acre Cotton Ranch, in 2007. The organization will now transfer this ranch with a conservation easement in place to rancher Merrill Beyeler, in exchange for an additional easement on 1025 acres of another property owned by the Beyeler family. Beyeler has owned his current ranch since 1959, and is well known for his responsible management of grazing operations. Additionally, the two properties are used by wildlife, including elk, mule deer, sage grouse and a variety of migratory birds.

Rumi writes: This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. Accept your stress as your guest. Invite it in. With acceptance, you breathe more deeply; your heart and mind settle. Fear dissipates, leaving room for gratitude. Light enters. Your vision expands to see the big picture. You see the gifts that hide in the shadows. With less resistance, you can hear the guidance of your internal GPS. You know which direction to turn to align with your destinationbe that the bottom of the ski run or the clarification of your life’s purpose. With acceptance, knots of tension begin to loosen and transform, replacing those stress hormones with ones that make you smile. So reach out with a firm handshake, look stress in the eye and give it your blessing. Maybe even twp ask it to dance.

inter has arrived in the Valley, bringing a jump in the movement of the animals. Driving at dawn and dusk requires more care, but where are they all headed, and why? Migration boils down to food. The tiny chickadee may seem vulnerable in winter; however, it can remain with us for the winter as it feeds on nuts and seeds available throughout the forests. For many animals, food sources are limited, forcing them to migrate. Most raptors move to areas with enough bare ground to successfully find prey such as rodents. These areas may be in the Southern states, or only as far as the Bellevue Triangle. Many mammals are in the midst of their migrations. Pronghorn antelope herds can move up to 200 miles to attain snow-free vegetation. Others seek new locations within the Valley. Elk and deer seek south-facing slopes, where snow is shallower and foraging easier. Moose move to areas where food densities are high, to minimize movement while optimizing food availability. Predators will follow suit to maintain their food sources. For all of these animals, the key is to ensure that the energy they expend to eat, stay warm, and avoid danger does not exceed the energy they bring in via feeding. Those dangers include human ones: Be sure to use care when you drive, ensure your pets don’t harass wildlife, and respect winter recreation closures, all of which will help minimize the energy animals must expend to avoid us.

veryone experiences stress. A primal force of nature, stress warns you that danger is approaching and that you need to flee from the threat or confront it. Heart and breathing rates increase, pumping blood and oxygen to your limbs. Blood platelets begin to clot, ready to reduce bleeding if injury occurs. An arsenal of stress hormones is deployed, awakening you to high alert. Poised to ski off the precipice of Exhibition, this response is your friend. Sharpening your focus, it gives you strength, endurance and speed. It is your ally if a predatoror a vicious dogis charging you. Encoded with a few million years of evolutionary information, it relays clear, urgent messages that will save your life. And, once the danger has been averted, it resets your system back to neutral. A brilliant design, but here’s the problem. Modern everyday stressworrying about the holidays, finances, your kids, relationshipstriggers this same alarm system, but without the opportunity to discharge. Stress accumulates, eroding your health rather than preserving it. Blood pressure escalates, plaque constricts your arteries, hypervigilance interrupts sleep. Your mind and body lose efficiency as the link to your system’s intelligence corrodes. The solutions? You don’t need my help to write the prescription: exercise, breathe, practice yoga, meditate, try massage or acupuncture. You’re right. These are excellent ways to manage stress. And yet, there is another layer beyond management. Accept that stress is ever-present and a necessary part of life. Don’t resist it or force it to behave. Simply bless it. Know that it is here to be your teacher. In The Guest House, 13th-century Persian poet Jelaluddin

Ask the Guys

Fast Facts First Thoughts

Dear Classified Guys, I finally took your advice. After years of overpaying for a new car, I decided to buy a used car to save some money. I picked up the classifieds, called some of the ads and went to see a car that was of interest. Upon taking the ever-important test drive, I realized I had a dilemma. I had no idea what to look for on a test drive! All I knew was that the car was cute, in my price range and seemed to start fine. I know I should be considering other details, but what?

•

Cash: Well if nothing

else, hopefully you were at least paying attention to the road on your test drive. Carry: Besides showing how cute you look behind the wheel, the test drive is your time to put the car through its paces. How does it handle? Is it comfortable? Are there any mechanical problems? Cash: First thing you should do is get in the car and start it up. Then get back out. It's not time to drive yet. Walk around the car and listen for strange noises like knocking, ticking, hissing or whining. Carry: No, not the sounds of

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 11/28/10 ©2010 The Classified Guys®

the kids in the back seat. Instead, any of those odd noises could be an indication of mechanical problems. If you don't hear any, you're ready for a cruise, and not just around the block. Plan on a good twenty-minute drive around town and on the highway. This is your chance to see how the car handles in all types of road conditions. Cash: While you're on the highway, see if the car drifts to the right or left. This can be a sign of misalignment. When you're braking, see if the car still stays straight. A car that shakes while breaking or veers to one side often has a problem with the rotors or brake pads. Carry: Roll up the windows, turn off the radio and listen for

any strange noises in the cabin area like squeaks or rattles. Cash: By the way, if you're passing a shopping mall, pull into the parking lot. But don't go shopping. Back up instead! It's common for a car with transmission problems to pop out of reverse gear when accelerating backwards. Carry: Now is also a good time to test out all the switches and accessories like the heat, A/C and radio. Open and close all the doors, windows and try all the keys in the door locks. You want to know that everything is in good working order. Cash: If it all seems good, then you can go back and negotiate with the owner for the best deal.

"I don't know, what do you think?" Many of us search for a second opinion to be assured we're making the right decision. However, when taking a car for a test drive, trust your first impression. Most people know within the first few miles if a car is the "right fit" for them. Whether you like it for the feel of the vehicle or reject it based on mechanical problems, avoid second-guessing yourself. With over 40 million used cars sold annually, there are plenty of vehicles from which to choose.

Hard to Hear

If you were like most kids who listened to music, then you've heard your parents yell, "Turn that racket down!" And they were right, especially when you're on a test drive. You can't hear the subtle noises in a car, like a muffler rattle or a whining fan belt, if you're cranking the tunes while driving. If you really want to check the car’s audio system, do your sound check with the car parked in the driveway as a final step of the test drive. •

Reader Humor Test Drive

When I placed my car ad in the newspaper, several people came to look at it, but one man made me laugh. As he looked over the car, he explained he was buying it because he just got divorced. "She took everything in our settlement, including our family car," he explained. As he got in the car I asked, "Do you want to take it for a test drive to see what it's like?" "Sure," he laughed. "But I have to tell you, it won't be the same without my wife telling me how to drive!" (Thanks to Christopher T.)
