Remember When? Pearl Harbor Leaves Mark on Cassells PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Radio Play BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

s a financial planner, Greg Cappel crunches numbers by day. Come night, he crunches glass as he provides sound effects for “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play.” Cappel rolls a rolling pin over corn flakes to simulate ice cracking, plunges a bowl into water to simulate someone falling into a lake, and shakes a glass box with rocks in it to simulate the sound of breaking glass. He makes train sounds with a brush and filing paper, creates the sound of a cricket with a comb, and slams a suitcase shut to make the sound of a car door slamming. “It’s challenging in that you have to be spot-on with your timing—kind of like a symphony musician charged with clashing the cymbals,” he said. “I’m a Foley artist bringing color to the canvas, making the show come alive.” Indeed, Cappel is one of eight actors who will present the timeless classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” as Company of Fools presents Joe Landry’s live radio play version Dec. 13 through 18 at the Sun Valley Opera House and Dec. 20 through 30 at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. The charming play is a fresh take on Frank Capra’s familiar story starring Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey who is given the privilege of seeing what the world would be like if he had never been born after the prospect of financial ruin drives him to desperation. The play stars Rachel Abrams, Andrew Alburger, Jana Arnold, Greg Cappel, Kathryn Cherasaro, Scott Creighton, Keith Joe Dick and John Glenn. The audience gets to watch, as well as listen, as these eight bring 63 characters to life, throwing in a couple commercials, as well. “Radio acting is a leap—you have to funnel everything through your voice, so it’s really a honed talent,” said Denise Simone, who will direct the play this year after having acted in it three years ago. “It was a high art form during the golden age of radio—it was how advertisers got into your living room. We were listening to some old broadcasts and there was one from Campbell’s Soup that exhorted that opening up this can is like opening up Grandma’s cooking. They had to drench the product with their voices. Of course, here you see the actors, so it’s a visual delight as well as an auditory one,” she added. The play hearkens back to another time, prompting audience members to slow down, stop to take a breath and turn their minds to the true meaning of the holidays, said Simone. Company of Fools staged the play three years ago. Simone and John Glenn selected it before the Great Re-

s Bill Cassell and his mother opened their door to head to church on a sunny Sunday morning in 1941, they had one thought: The Army’s maneuvers seem to be getting uncannily realistic. An admonition from their neighbor stopped them in their tracks: “Go back! This is war!” he shouted. “We’d heard the explosions. But they hadn’t alarmed us. We just wondered why the Army was practicing on Sunday morning,” Cassell recalled. “But then we could see the sky was full of black. We could see the oil tanks burning, their black smoke spilling into the air. We could see the anti-aircraft guns shooting the airplanes and them going down. But they didn’t crash in a blaze of fire like you see in the movies. They just broke up and floated to the ground.” The attack by 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes that Dec. 7 morning 70 years ago changed the idyllic world of Cassell, then 8 years old. It turned his tropical island paradise into a fearful place where gas alarm gongs hung on every street corner and where small craters in residential yards marked where artillery ordnance that had failed to hit aircraft fell and exploded. “We were scared to death—we didn’t know what was going to happen,” said Cassell, now a Ketchum resident. “We never thought we would be attacked from the air because there was such a large Japanese population on the island. We thought if something happened, it would be internal sabotage.” Cassell’s father, a career Navy man, was enjoying his second tour of duty in Hawaii on the day the Japanese mounted the surprise attack, killing 2,402 Americans and sinking four U.S. Navy battleships. Until then, it had been a plum assignment for the elder Cassell and his growing family. The Royal Hawaiian Hotel was the only concession to tourists on an unspoiled Waikiki beach. Young Cassell played on the beach, hiked in the hills and often picked guavas that his mother made into jam. The attack changed all that. Cassell, his mother and two younger sisters—ages 3 and 4—gathered around the radio, listening to urgent pleas for soldiers and nurses to report to their units. They filled their bathtub and pots and pans with water after rumors began circulating that the Japanese were poisoning the water supply. And Bill’s mother gathered her husband’s 22-caliber rifle into her arms,

Bill Cassell and his two sisters are considered child survivors of Pearl Harbor. Bill Cassell took home a branch off the Christmas tree that had been shipped to the chaplain’s office in Pearl Harbor. That became his family’s Christmas tree during Christmas 1941.

sleeping with it through the night. The next day Bill learned that the father of one of his classmates had been killed by a bomb that dropped in his yard, a few blocks away from Bill’s home. And Bill and his family had no idea what had happened to Bill’s own father, who was out to sea on a U.S. destroyer looking for the Japanese Navy when the attack occurred. “For two weeks we didn’t know whether he was alive. When he walked up the steps, it was the most emotional I’d ever seen my parents. They collapsed in each other’s arms,” Cassell recalled. After Christmas, school resumed, but only for half-days. Bill’s school met in the morning while students from another school, which had been turned into a hospital, met in Bill’s school building for afternoon classes. The students drank powdered klim— milk spelled backwards—since there was a shortage of milk. Older students wearing gas masks practiced drills where they led the younger students, who were wearing gauze masks, to the top floor to avoid poisoned gas, which they thought would settle to the ground. When air raid sirens screeched, the students ran out of school and jumped in trenches that had been dug in the schoolyard. Often, they would end up in a foot of rainwater and so they’d be sent home afterwards to wash the mud off.

“For two weeks we didn’t know whether he [Bill’s Father] was alive. When he walked up the steps, it was the most emotional I’d ever seen my parents.” –Bill Cassell

“At night, the whole island was black. We had wardens who would come to our doors if the tiniest bit of light was showing through the tarpaper. And the money had the word ‘Hawaii’ on it—the idea being that if Hawaii fell, the government could declare the money void,” recalled Cassell, who eventually had to make up

Delilah has Rett Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes problems in the brain responsible for cognitive, sensory, emotional and motor function. Delilah is almost 3 years old, but she doesn’t live the life of the average toddler. Delilah will never walk or talk, have purposeful hand movements, or

have the ability to be self-sufficient. Rett Syndrome presents many challenges for Delilah, but friends are determined to try and make life a bit easier for her.

a religious belief; for the expectant mom, it is the health of her unborn child; and for the bride, it is the life event of marriage. The mistake made in setting resolutions is taking an intellectual approach, which relies on willpower alone for achievement. Behavior change is rarely successful long term using the mind-over-matter strategy. When you uncover your inner motivation that is aligned with your personal values, lasting change will result. When setting a resolution, ask yourself why you want to achieve it. What makes it important to you and how will your life be different if the outcome is achieved? Reach beyond the easy answers and consider not only the physical attributes—explore how you will feel, the impact it will have on your relationships, what opportunities may open up for you. Being able to tap into and be reminded of your intense desire and motivation is what will keep you on track, moving past the obstacles along your journey. tws

iving in New Mexico for many years, every April I observed hundreds of people walking many miles on Good Friday before Easter to El Santuario de Chimayo Shrine, a holy chapel believed to have healing powers. As I scanned the crowd, it was clear that these people were not athletes. My bet is that if you asked them to walk 10 miles at another time, they would decline. Impressed and confused by this annual spectacle, I wondered why these people would undertake such a physical task one day each year only to remain mostly sedentary the rest of the year. As a wellness professional, I wanted to know their secret. If I could figure out what inspired them to move, maybe I could use the same power to propel my clients off the couch. A similar change in health habits is seen during pregnancy. An addicted chain smoker quits while carrying her developing child, only to light up shortly after delivery. And the daily alcohol drinker abstains from liquor for nine months. Getting married or attending a reunion can induce the same phenomenon. Struggling with weight for years, the pounds are finally dropped when the date arrives. December is the season to reflect on the pervious year and look forward to the new year. Many make resolutions to improve, only to abandon these good intentions before the end of January. If, however, you could tap into the force that underlies the success of the pilgrimages, pregnant women and brides, 2012 would be the year to make your resolutions stick. What is their secret? The answer, I learned, is that these people are emotionally connecting to a deeply held value within, and sometimes beyond, themselves. For those on the pilgrimage, it is

Wyoming Triumph Takes Viewers Skiing Off Piste BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

wo years ago, two young filmmakers and a host of friends set out to ski where no man had skied before. They got lost a few times and suffered countless broken bones and a number of close calls. But they also got an hour-long ski movie with dramatic shots of skiers flipping through the air near Devil’s Tower, as well as some pretty cool shots of bison, geysers and the other things that set Wyoming apart. They’ll show that movie, “Wyoming Triumph,� at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7, at the Sun Valley Opera House. Tickets are $10, available at Chapter One Bookstore and at the door. Featured skiers include Community School alum North Parker, who is now at the University of Utah. The filmmakers shot footage over two winters at multiple locations in Wyoming, including Devil’s Tower, the Snowy Range in southern Wyoming, the Bighorn Mountains near Buffalo, the Tetons, Sylvan Pass in the Absaroka Range in Yellowstone National Park and the Gros Ventre Range. The film shoot included six days of winter

camping in Yellowstone National Park. “Everyone seems to be trying to do some exotic trip to some remote location in this day and age. And we found all that right in our backyard,� said filmmaker Chris Kitchen, who is a fulltime filmmaker producing sports, Web and commercial footage. “There were definitely some areas we skied that had not been skied before. We went places where more people owned an elk hunting rifle than a pair of skis. But they ended up taking us in and feeding us,� he added. The film premiered in mid-October in Jackson. KGB

Productions is taking it on the road to Western ski resort towns like Boulder, Denver, Bozeman, Salt Lake City, Park City and Durango. Keith Cozzens, of Jackson, called the film “a working man’s skiing and snowboard film.� “It’s all human-powered, save for the use of snowmobiles oc-

casionally to get to a site. And it takes you to some awesome terrain that we have driven by and thought would be awesome to try to ski,� he said. One of the worst problems was the wind, which hampered visibility and, often, skiing, said Kitchen. “Wyoming is the windiest

state in the nation. We like to joke that the Wyoming windsock is a pole with a chain sticking straight out. And we really found that out with the making of this film,� he said. “There’s a lot of beautiful terrain out there—but it’s windy!�

A Walk in the Unknown BY BALI SZABO

T

here are many kinds of travel—fantasy, around the world in 80 days, tourism, exploration, the inner journey, armchair, daydreams or even alleged astral projection and the various parapsychological crossing of barriers. And then there’s the travel in the world of immeasurable possibilities—not just other worlds, but other universes. According to several current Nobel Prize physicists, we are accidental tourists in our own universe, which is now our backyard, but that’s all. It’s our sandlot, one of an infinitude. Welcome to the multiverse. This wasn’t supposed to happen, and it is as improbable as life itself. Science, technology and progress was a linear development powered by the faith that everything was knowable. Ask or chance upon the right question, find the physical or mathematical proof, quantify it, demonstrate it and the laws of nature become a diorama. This has been our journey from Plato to Galileo, and on to Newton’s Laws and the Age of Enlightenment to Einstein’s theory of relativity. The latter stated that two objects travelling at the same relative velocity (e.g., two pieces of space junk in orbit) are subject to the same physical laws. By the 1970s and ‘80s, we thought we had it all figured out—that all future discoveries would be co-opted into our generously expanded parameters. Just crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s. The theory of everything was within reach. Not so fast. Ideas of the multiverse do

not nullify our ideas about the deployment of matter and energy in the universe. Our world stands, and we can continue to learn about it. But the same forces or tiny variations in those forces that produced us can also produce ‘non-us’—other universes, with just the smallest variation in the mix. Hints of this abound in our world, like the chaos theory that states that the smallest change will produce an incalculable series of end results. The multiverse is scientifically incalculable. Our universe, and life within it, were formed and exist on a knife-edge of possibility. Neither holistic benevolence nor divine guidance offer answers to new facts and a series of ‘what ifs.’ At the time of the Big Bang 14 billion years and a trillionth of a second before, if the nuclear force were weaker or stronger, there’d be no life (no hydrogen).

If the relationship between gravity and electromagnetic force isn’t exactly what it is, there’d be no planet formation or exploding stars, which are the Johnny Appleseeds of our cosmos. Recently discovered dark matter is pushing the universe apart at a precise, though accelerating, pace. If that matter/energy were a little more or a little less, there’d be no sustainable galaxies. We know that nature’s patterns do not repeat exactly (just look at the ‘strange attractor’ ellipses of a vortex—Google it). The end result is us, and we are but one actualized possibility among zillions (10 to the 500th power) of possibilities, creatures of maddening chance in the eternal inflation of new universes. Science becomes like religion—it has to believe what it cannot prove. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Green Tips for Snow Days

O

pportunities for saving and conserving don’t end when it’s cold and snowy outside. If you use a de-icer on your pathway or driveway, use products made from magnesium chloride instead of sodium chloride (salt) or calcium chloride. While salt stops working at 15 degrees above zero, magnesium chloride melts ice at temperatures down to 17 below zero and is less damaging to concrete, your car, and plantings along the driveway. De-icers may be hazardous to pets and pollute surface waters and groundwater. Even better, replace all chemical de-icers with non-toxic alternatives such as clean clay cat litter, sand, or fireplace ashes. Use electric snow removal products instead of gasolinepowered ones. No solution is perfect; electric products

consume energy, but won’t emit greenhouse gases. Even better, shovel manually and get some exercise. Buy recycled winter gear. Today, more winter gear and clothing, including jackets, gloves, and boots, are made from recycled materials. If buying new gear, go green; REI and Patagonia are two green manufacturers, and don’t forget your local thrift shops! To make snow sports greener, take a break sometimes from downhill skiing and opt for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing instead. Grooming slopes, running ski lifts, and snowmaking are extremely energy-intensive; sports that don’t require these have far less tws environmental impact.

Cello – Like You’ve Never Heard it Before So you think you know what a cello sounds like? Genre-bending cellist Ben Sollee will change your mind about that in a performance at the Sun Valley Opera House on Friday, Dec. 9. “I never expect to see that cello in one piece after Ben gets done playing it,” says musician Yim Yames, frontman for My Morning Jacket and a friend and musical collaborator of Sollee’s. “He bows and beats and works it over with a passionate fury rarely seen. Don’t get me wrong—he can play it and hold his own with the most schooled and delicate scholars out there, but more importantly, Ben makes it live.” Classically trained but unwilling to settle for just one kind of music, Sollee puts his cello to use in the service of folk, bluegrass, jazz and R&B. Backing him up at his December concert, part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts 2011/2012 Winter Performing Arts

Series, will be Jordon Ellis on percussion. In addition to playing the cello, Sollee contributes his amazing voice and songwriting talents to the duo. “It’s Ben’s voice that first attracted my attention,” said The Center’s Performing Arts Director, Kristine Bretall. “He’s got a way of hooking you right in with his incredible voice and then when you add the lyrics and his cello playing, he’s got you. And it’s not only his performance that’ll draw you in, he’s a kind, big-hearted man who puts his whole person into his show.” While in the Wood River Valley, Ben Sollee will be doing a school residency with the high school orchestra students, The Community School and the Wood River Middle School.

This year they will perform mostly new songs with a few of the best-loved classics from last year. The chorus was created by talented local musician/conductor Patti Parsons Tewson, who has loved the special, exciting and moving quality to gospel music since her childhood in the South. After performing with Harlem’s famed conductor, Bobby Lewis, in a 100-person gospel choir in Fairbanks, Alaska—of all places—she decided to bring what she learned back to Sun Valley and gathered a group of local singers to make her dream of a gospel chorus in Ketchum. While the performances are free, there will be a 5:30 p.m. Patron Party both evenings for $10 to fund the concerts. Those who attend will receive good early seating, wine and hors d’oeuvres and a chance to party with the performers. tws

hink all the jobs are in Ketchum and Sun Valley? Think again. A new study shows long-held beliefs about jobs and housing in the Wood River Valley may no longer be accurate. The Affordable Housing Needs Assessment, which looks at the economic state of the county and how it affects the need for affordable housing, was commissioned by the Blaine County Housing Authority and ARCH Community Housing Trust and unveiled Thursday. The new study purports that 1,552 jobs were lost in the Valley during 2008 and 2009. Today, there are 3,883 jobs in Sun Valley and Ketchum and 4,818 in Hailey and Bellevue. “I thought, as many people, that all the jobs were in the north and that everyone was commuting to the North Valley. Not anymore. So, where the affordable housing units are located is likely to change,” said Michelle Griffith, executive director of ARCH, which develops affordable housing. The study also shows that 41 percent of the Valley’s homeowners are either on the brink of losing their homes or at least “cost burdened”—that is, paying more than 35 percent of their income for housing. Only 25 percent of all Idahoans and 27 percent of U.S. residents pay that much for their homes. “That tells me we need permanent sustainable recovery in the job market. And we can’t expect it to be in construction and real estate. We have to create new types of jobs and train people for those,” Griffith said. “If we don’t, we’ll see a rise in the foreclosure

rate, which will impact the need for larger rental units.” Some of the other findings: • There are 480 units of affordable housing needed countywide • The Hispanic-Latino population now makes up 20 percent of Blaine County’s 21,376 residents—up from 11 percent in 2000. That means those dealing with housing will have to determine the needs in that community, said David Patrie, executive administrator of BCHA. • Just 12 percent, or 1,441, of workers are commuting from outside the Valley, compared with 17 percent, or 2,796, in 2006. John Flattery, who works with Habitat for Humanity in the Wood River Valley, said he hopes some way can be found to provide affordable housing for many of those commuters so their wages stay and recirculate in the Valley. • Adjusted for inflation, the medium household income has decreased from $62,900 in 2000 to $56,600 in 2009. Thirty-seven percent of renters are cost-burdened, compared with 32 percent in 2006. • Blaine County has an older population than the rest of Idaho, suggesting that there could be a demand for as many as 500 senior living units over the next decade. Given the many properties on the market, ARCH will focus on acquiring and upgrading rehab property rather than building new housing, Griffith said. Griffith said it is unlikely that many of those who are costdistressed can sell their own property to buy more affordable property. In addition, much of the distressed property is uninhabitable without remodeling,

“[the study] tells me we need permanent sustainable recovery in the job market. And we can’t expect it to be in construction and real estate. We have to create new jobs and train people for those. ” –Michelle Griffith

and those with limited finances cannot afford several thousand dollars for remodeling. It’s not always easy to buy short sale homes, she added. It took ARCH one and a half years to buy a foreclosed home in Ketchum—and that was with cash. Patrie said the study is the first phase in developing a new county-wide strategy concerning affordable housing. BCHA and affordable housing experts will hold a planning meeting at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 9 at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum to chart a road map for the future. The meeting is open to the public. tws

How Does Santa Do It? BY ANN PARRY

A

recent survey listed what people dread most about the holidays. Crowds, long lines, relatives, and even having to be nice, are among the items on that list. When you are feeling stress this holiday season, just remember the task ahead for Santa Claus. We all know that he is amazing—making presents for all those kids, loading them into his magic sleigh, and then delivering them to children around the world in a single night. This incredible feat is even more astounding when you look at the math of it all. From the 2010 census, there are 1.15 billion Christian households in the world. Let’s assume half of those households have “nice� children who believe in Santa Claus. That means Santa has to descend 575 million chimneys in one night. If Santa travels east to west he can take advantage of different time zones, giving him 24 hours to complete his daunting task. Twenty-four hours equates to 86,400 seconds. Dividing 86,400 seconds by 575 million gives 0.00015 seconds per household.

So, Santa has 0.15 milliseconds to park his sleigh, go down the chimney, fill the stockings, put presents under the tree, eat cookies, drink milk, climb back up the chimney, settle himself back onto the sleigh, and fly to the next house. Santa is one fast guy. That is why no one ever sees him! Now let’s look at the weight of the sleigh. Referring again to the 2010 census, there are 2.5 children per household. Multiplying 2.5 children by 575 million is 1.4 billion children. If each present weighs 2 pounds, then the reindeer have to pull a sleigh that weighs 2.8 billion pounds or 1.4 million tons plus the weight of Mr. Claus himself. That implies that each reindeer would have to pull 180,000 tons or 160,000 tons if Rudolph is working that night. If you tire of listening to the same Christmas carols, are apprehensive about attending the office holiday party, or dread wrapping yet another present, just remember the insurmountable job that Santa Claus faces. And he always does it with a ho, ho, ho!! tws

When naming the kids, the Dayze parents really took those ‘White Christmas’ lyrics to heart! PHOTO: SUSAN LITTLEFIELD

T

here are three bands that helped mold my own personal musical history—The Who, The Jam and Black Flag. This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of an album that changed my perspective on music: Black Flag’s Damaged. I had been familiar with Black Flag from seeing Penelope Spheeris’ documentary, The Decline Of Western Civilization, but I hadn’t heard an entire album until I bought Damaged. On the back of the album, covering the MCA Records logo (because they had refused to release it on their label), was a sticker that quoted the president of MCA Records: “As a parent, I believe that this is an antiparent record.” Right then and there I knew I had made a good purchase. I put the album on my turntable and turned it up; I was not disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. Greg Ginn’s guitar raged, moving from staccato notes to full-on Stooges power chords. Singer Henry Rollins’ fierce voice bellowed out his torment in what would later become his trademark spoken-word roar, and Robo’s hyper-metronomical drumming all fused together to breathe new life into rock music in a post-punk world. With songs like “Rise Above,” “Thirsty And Miserable” and the slacker anthem, “TV Party,” Black Flag had taken the anger of a lost generation and funneled it into fifteen songs of pure, unadulterated fury. Some critics said this album was the ruin of America’s youth. To me, it was quite the opposite. It was my salvation.

Was Bard a Fraud? Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

W

ho was the real Bard? That is a question that has perplexed scholars over the last four centuries. Could it have really been one man—a commoner with nothing but a secondary school education? Or was it a man of the nobility—privy to the inner workings of the court of Elizabeth the First? In the perplexing new film Anonymous we are served up what the filmmakers feel is the definitive answer. The big surprise is that the answer is served up by Roland Emmerich, the hack director who has given us such literary masterpieces as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012. Could there ever be an odder pairing of material to director in the history of cinema? Along with a script by John Orloff, their conclusion to the question of whether Shake-

speare wrote the masterpieces attributed to him is clear. In the longstanding debate, they side with the conspiracy theory that it was Edward De Vere, the Earl of Oxford, who was executed for sedition in 1604, before King Lear and Macbeth were published. In their utterly confusing version of events, De Vere, because of his noble status, could not put his name to his works and instead bestowed the credit on an actor—William Shakespeare. Although beautifully recreating London of the 1500s, including a great representation of the Globe Theater, the film is confusing because of its frequent flashbacks and convoluted story. If you can follow the plot, God bless you. The film’s saving grace is the casting of some excellent British actors, especially our greatest living actress, Vanessa Redgrave, as Elizabeth. In a stroke of casting genius, the young Elizabeth is played by her real-life daughter, Joely Richardson. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to carry this turgid exercise in historic revisionism. If you’re looking for the answer to who really wrote the plays, you won’t find it here. tws

The Science of Healing

cience has discovered that energy and information fields control biology, not genetics. Quantum physics shows us that there is an energy field - The Zero Point Field (ZPF)– which connects everything in the universe. Living things have a morphogenetic field which connects us to the ZPF. Here in may lay the key to many of life’s processes, from how cells communicate to how organisms actually take shape. The ZPF is responsible for our mind’s highest functions, including memory, intuition and creativity. It is the force that finally determines whether we are healthy or ill, the force which must be tapped in order to heal. Original, and well documented by distinguished scientists, The ZPF lifts many areas out of the realm of mystery and into the realm of hard science. This work is well documented by Lynne McTaggart in her book The Field. It appears the interaction between the morphogenetic field and ZPF are an information exchange, between the body, our environment, and this field. The control system of the body therefore is NOT genes or chemistry, but information which seems to be available in through the body’s field. Disease results when there is scrambled or disturbed information. Stop the distortion of information, and the physiology; the body, changes. Disturbed information develops when an event occurs that our system cannot integrate. The energy and information of the event is stored as vibration and tension in the body/mind. Toxins, maligned thoughts and physical events can cause such disturbance. Clear the disturbance in the morphogenetic field and/or the structures of the FATHER OF EIGHT seeks body energetic lady.

hard for the average person to grasp, because humans like logic. Logic is a left brained process. The left brain relies on the 5 senses to process things. The ZPF is such a low energy state (but contains all possibilities) that the human senses couldn’t possibly interpret it; therefore the left brain decides it isn’t real. We must understand there is more to the world than meets the eye. Did you know that your body is making new cells every day? In fact, you have an entirely new body every seven years. The question we must all ask ourselves is, what kind of body are we going to have next year? There are many “Alternative” healing methods that help the body clear disturbances. Being a chiropractor, light touch chiropractic is my method of choice. A chiropractic adjustment clears the vibration and tension (disturbance) stored in the body. Once cleared, you then have better access to the Field of all possibilities and a renewed you. tws

7 Strategies for Saving BY PATRICK BUCHANAN STATE FARM® AGENT

A

re you doing your best to save for your future? It can be very challenging to begin a savings program. After necessities such as food, clothing and housing, there can be little left to put aside for future goals. Unfortunately, failing to save could mean the difference between enjoying a comfortable retirement and giving up some basic needs. Often it is a matter of making the decision to begin saving now in order to buy a new home or car later. The goals you set are important to you. Making changes to prepare for those goals can make a big difference. For that reason, State Farm has looked at various ways to get a person’s savings plan on track and came up with seven strategies that you can use today. 1. Don’t splurge with your tax refund. Instead of spending your refund, use it wisely by paying down debt, funding an individual retirement account, or saving it for future financial goals. 2. Take full advantage of your employer’s retirement contributions. Your employer may match a percentage of the contributions you make to your retirement savings plan. It’s a good idea to do what it takes to get the matching limit. It’s free money that can really help your bottom line during retirement. 3. Start small and stay steady. The first word is the most important – start. You should begin as early as possible to get the most out of your savings plan. 4. Pay yourself first. Think of your savings or investments as a bill you must pay on a regular basis, much the same as a car or mortgage payment. Be disciplined and make the payments according to a set schedule. For better results, establish an automatic monthly deduction from your paycheck or checking account to fund an investment or savings account. 5. Create separate pots of savings for upcoming life stages. Retirement may be an important goal for which to begin saving, but other goals or events need as much or more preparation. Don’t short-change other goals while concentrating on one thing. Whether it’s a home, car or child’s education, it is important to give appropriate attention to each. 6. If you have children, find the right education plan. You have a number of choices when it comes to saving for a child’s education. Finding the one that makes sense for your situation takes planning and information. This takes us to the seventh and, quite possibly, the most important point… 7. Work with someone you know and trust. Everyone’s needs and goals are unique. Just as you go through many changes during your lifetime, your financial goals may change. You should work with a professional who not only knows about various plans and strategies, but knows you and will stay with you through the long haul. Most people feel the best guidance they receive comes from a financial professional they know and trust. In the end, it all boils down to making a plan, getting started and staying the course. When you make the decision to finally start, contact a financial professional who knows you and understands tws your needs.

RADIO PLAY, from page 1 cession started. But, by the time the Fools staged it, the play had become uncannily timely, what with runs on banks that few in the audience had ever thought they’d see in their lifetimes. But it’s the message of how important each of us is to community that resonates with Simone. “Bedford Falls is a small community like ours and I’m struck by the connectivity of everyone in the community,” she said. “George realizes that if it he hadn’t been born, life would have been very different. When you live in a community like ours, each of us affects every part of our community, whether we realize it or not.” This is the first time Company of Fools has staged one of its performances at the Sun Valley Opera House. “We have always had the desire to explore partnering with Sun Valley Company and we thought this was such a perfect show for the opera house,” Simone said. “Hopefully, this will allow us to attract a new audience—perhaps, tourists who don’t have a way of leaving the site to come down to Hailey.”

Friedman Airport Impact is Critical, Deems Griffith BY KAREN BOSSICK

H

ow important is Friedman Memorial Airport to Blaine County? Important enough that nearly one of every two jobs is affected by the airport. So purported Harry Griffith as he led a forum hosted by the Sustain Blaine economic development group at The Valley Club in Hailey last Wednesday night. Sustain Blaine held the meeting to present its findings concerning the economic impact of the airport and to ask the hundred-plus business owners and government officials in attendance for their input about the airport. Griffith, Sustain Blaine’s executive director, said the study was undertaken because there is a lack of accurate information regarding the airport’s impact on the county’s economy. This kind of information will be needed, he said, as the community decides what to do with the Hailey airport following the Federal Aviation Administration’s

decision to suspend work on two sites being considered for a new airport. Griffith said that Friedman boasts the second biggest economic impact of Idaho’s seven commercial airports after Boise. Per capita, the Hailey airport has the largest impact on a local economy. It supplies more than 1,550 jobs, and between $143 million and $374 million of economic impact. That includes direct impact through landing fees and airport employee salaries and indirect impact from visitors who buy groceries or lift tickets after flying into Friedman. That’s a conservative estimate, Griffith said. “I think it’s closer to the $370 million figure.” The majority of the county’s 1,700 businesses are impacted by air service. That ranges from tourists visiting Sun Valley Resort to Power Engineers employees heading out of Hailey to work at sites around the world, to businesses using air service to import or export products. “Commercial air service is the engine that drives the Blaine

County economy and binds our communities together. It is critical to jobs and businesses and wages,” said Griffith. The economic impact could be boosted, he added, with more reliability and more competitive pricing. Currently, Friedman loses 38,000 potential passengers to Boise each year, along with 10,000 to Salt Lake City and 14,000 to other Idaho airports. Friedman could also capture new markets with larger aircraft. Real-time polling of business owners in the audience indicated they would benefit most from new markets open to San Diego, Chicago and New York, followed by Denver and the Bay Area and Orange County and Phoenix. More than a quarter of the business owners also said they could hire more employees if air service was improved. Eighteen percent said they could increase the bottom line more than 50 percent; 45 percent, between 11 and 30 percent. Dr. Rich Paris noted that air service is crucial not just

to businesses like Sun Valley Resort. It can be a matter of life and death when St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center needs to fly patients to Salt Lake City. And every time a baby is born or Grandpa breaks a hip, four or five people fly into town,” he added. Wally Huffman, director of resort development for Sun Valley Company, noted that 64 percent of those weighing in via real-time polling had said that the airport is “critical” to their businesses’ success. That number would likely be much higher if business owners considered how critical the resort’s success is to their business, Huffman said. “One of the things we have not captured in this discussion is the timing issue,” he added. “We don’t have option in next five years to change the airport in grandiose ways. In the last five years we’ve lost 35 percent to 40 percent of our seats. If that trend continues, what impact will it have?” tws

Austin Stages Concert for Hunger Coalition PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

answers on page 18

Wood River High School senior is staging “a quiet evening of music” to benefit The Hunger Coalition. Milana Austin will have longtime Wood River Valley performers Mark Slocum, Jim Paisley and Fletcher Brock perform at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, at Zou 75 in Hailey. The three musicians are involved in several of the Valley’s best-loved bands, including The Bobos, The Sensational Toast Points, The Mighty Shims, and the Mark Slocum Band. They will be joined by high school and faculty musicians Brenden Finnerty, Sage Sauerbrey, Chet Olson, Jonnie Pederson, Adam Potts, Michaela Rodriquez and Shaylyn Berston. Austin is encouraging those who attend to offer a $5 donation on behalf of The Hunger Coalition. People are welcome to donate canned food, as well. Austin, who was mentored by Keith Waller—a civil engineer with Power Engineers and an avid musician—is putting together a raffle for the event. She also will have simple appetizers and beverages on hand for a nominal fee. Austin said she initiated the project to learn about what is involved in putting on a concert, including promotion, sound, staging and booking. “I wanted to make sure I did something productive for the community with my senior project, and The Hunger Coalition is a really good cause,” she said. “This is as much about raising awareness as raising money. I want people to know that hunger is not just a global issue but that it happens even in our own community.” Austin wants to work as an au pair in London following graduation. She says London is “a great international hub” without posing too much of a culture shock. But she’ll have to get through her fundraiser first. “I learned how hard it is to put on an event like this,” she said. “The hardest part was coordinating all the performers.”

osie Bunce, Community School senior and an aspiring artist, always had a good eye. When visiting the Tate museum in London at the age of five, Bunce was asked what her favorite painting was, to which she pointed out Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. “Looking back, it’s kind of funny because I picked all the major artists as my favorites,” she said. “All I remember was that I was taken with Van Gogh because his brushwork was so short and choppy and that it was so colorful.” Bunce’s interests blossomed from there. “When I was six, we had a toe-shoe glitter party where we just danced around and made art. I remember that I made a mess of the bathroom and explained it to my mother ‘that we were just making art.’ Bunce first started drawing with pencil because her sister was very creative and she wanted to emulate her and paint portraits. “I used to love to rearrange my room and make different designs. In eighth grade I discovered oil painting and began to develop my own style. At first I focused on portraitures because I was so fascinated with faces and how people look and to see how much color I could put into it. I prefer oil to water because it’s smoother and glossier and glides much more easily. I also love to paint animal heads and went to Africa for three weeks the summer before last and saw so much on the three safaris we went on. I still paint some of the kids I met there and I took a lot of photos. It really influenced my color palette with all the rich, deep greens and yellows and reds. I loved color after that.” After 10th grade, Bunce turned her attention to photography. To pursue this, she attended a summer program at the Rhode Island School of Design. “I was always fascinated by it (photography) and I wanted to explore it and try a new medium. It’s a quick process because oil can take up to six months to dry. Every time I travel I shoot a lot and recently in New York City I took some great shots. I’ve also become fascinated with land-

scapes and sent one to National Geographic of a small lake in the Alps as part of a competition. If I win, my photo will be on the cover.” Last year Bunce attended the Proctor Academy to expand her art education. There she put together a sketchbook of thirty students. “I tried to get every ethnicity and to capture their personalities through their faces and I also love meeting people.” Last summer it was off to a precollege program at the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. There, Bunce received the Final Project Award for her paintings. “My idea was to portray my dual life with my mother living in L.A. at the beach and my father living in Sun Valley. It was both a self-portrait and a memory piece, so I smeared the oils to represent that. It turned out to be four murals about three feet by four feet, which I hung together. I’m extremely proud of them. The professor honored me by saying ‘You have a great talent’ and that ‘you should pursue it,’ which really blew me away. It was also professionally photographed.” Now, Bunce has added ceramics to her portfolio. “I started it at Proctor and joined a class this year. I’m working on a tea set with a kettle and pots—kind of a garden theme. I’ve picked it up pretty fast.” As Bunce does with almost everything she sets her artist’s eye to. tws Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student.

Papoose Club Bazaar Photo & Story BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he holiday season kicked off in fine fashion this past weekend as Valley residents toasted it in a variety of ways, from a brass quintet concert sponsored by the Sun Valley Summer Symphony to gingerbread decorating at a Hailey church. Maddy Waller was among the vendors who turned out at The Papoose Club’s annual holiday bazaar at Hemingway Elementary School. Waller sold a variety of jams and jellies, including a strawberry-kiwi mix she called “Bleeding Kiwi,� and donated the proceeds to The Hunger Coalition as part of her senior project. “It was a long process, but a pretty neat process,� she said of the 78 jars she made. Carol Scheifele-Holmes bought a couple of chocolate-colored puppets for her grandchildren, who her daughter adopted from Ethiopia. Bellevue artist EJ Harpham served up a variety of “mountain mugs� and beautiful plates

sporting mountains and threedimensional snowflake patterns and cookies. “I ski down the mountains in my mind as I paint them—the mountain mugs are great for guys,� she said. “The plates with snowflake patterns are great because you don’t have to put them away after Christmas. And I tell people that you always have a perfect cookie on your platter if you have one of my cookie plates.� Hailey fishing guide Morgan Buckert, who named her craft business The Brown Drake after her favorite fly-tie, sold bags that she said made the perfect weekend or overnight bag since they can easily be stashed under an airline seat. And Kristi Sutton sold a variety of handcrafted candied apples to raise money for a safe and sober senior bash next spring. “We’ll have all kinds of activities at the Community Campus, and good prizes, too,� she said. “Last year we even had a car as a prize—that was an incentive for the kids!� tws

Festival of Trees Rakes in Money for Meals on Wheels PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he bar flowed with a special martini named “The Fountain of Youth� as a sell-out crowd gathered for the annual Festival of Trees Saturday night at the Senior Connection in Hailey. Jim Cimino not only donated the beer and wine for the event, he also bid on several of the trees to donate to friends and local groups. And Robin Marelli volunteered the tree-topping bid of $2,100 for the Magical Whimsical Seussical tree that she and Smith Sport Optics had decorated. She then returned it to Smith Sport Optics, while donating the gift basket of goggles and beanies that came with it to be auctioned off for another $550. Meanwhile, Sindy Burke, Ken Ward and Ron Fairfax each won a gift certificate donated by Atkinsons’ Market, with Fairfax

donating his to the Senior Connection. It was all part of a magical weekend designed to raise money for Meals on Wheels that included the Festival of Trees gala event and a fashion show lunch by Panache. Models for Panache paraded through the room in a variety of fashions ranging from “Haute Hippie� to a coat made of fox, goat and rabbit on Friday, as women nibbled on Caesar chicken salad served up by the Senior Connection’s own chef. “Will someone please move these cookies?!� quipped Marguerite Sowersby. “It’s difficult having a plate of cookies in front of me when I’m looking at all these models!� Money from the weekend will go to Meals on Wheels. “It costs a lot to keep going and it operates almost entirely on donations,� said Kim Coonis, director of the Senior Connection. tws

REMEMBER WHEN, from page 1

Bill and Jeanne Cassell

Pearl Harbor: West Coast BY KAREN BOSSICK

J

eanne Cassell escaped the sights and sounds of planes exploding in midair since she grew up in the Central Valley of California near Fresno—an ocean away from where the attacks took place. But her memories of Pearl Harbor are no less vivid than her husband’s. Cassell and her family had planned to sit by the fireplace and write Christmas letters to friends and family on the evening of Dec. 7. But, instead, they found themselves glued to their radio, wondering if they would hear the drone of airplanes overhead. “My father and uncle had fought in World War I, and my mother’s sister died in the flu epidemic that followed, so memories of wartime were bitter,” she said. Like other California families, Jeanne’s placed blackout curtains over their windows so Japanese bombers couldn’t spot them at night. During the day, she took her Captain Midnight Airplane Spotters Guide with her into her tree house, craning her neck to look for “flying meatballs”—what Americans called the Japanese aircraft with the trademark round red balls signifying the rising sun. Living in California as they did, they always felt the threat of Japanese planes and noticed conspicuous gaps in the neighborhoods where Japanese families had once lived. “I remember my father pointing to empty farmhouses where Japanese had lived and saying, ‘There might be a Japanese spy there,’ ” Cassell recalled. Jeanne’s family listened to the radio regularly each evening with her father plotting the course of the war on a large

world map he had posted. There was no TV then so the only visual images of the war that they saw where from black and white newsreels that they saw while in town. “I don’t remember being scared—just wishing things would get back to normal so I could have a new bike,” Jeanne said. “Normal” then was rationing—her family needed coupons for red meat, sugar and gasoline. And gas shortages limited pleasure trips to Yosemite National Park, where the Awahnee Hotel had been converted into a convalescent hospital for servicemen. Jeanne’s family grew lots of their own fruits and vegetables, canning some in metal cans at a canning center that had been set up at the nearby airbase. And her mother came up with all sorts of ingenious recipes to disguise the “yucky” taste of SPAM, a canned meat that now frequently graced their table. “My mother called it ‘defense scrapple’ and it had cornmeal and cracker crumbs in it with egg to make the meat stretch further,” Jeanne recalled. “The shortage that hit me the hardest was that of rubber—bicycle tires weren’t available so I had to make do with my old bike all through the war years. We also bought saving stamps at school for the war effort and were proud to convert them to Victory Bonds when we had saved up enough. We had a scrap metal drive to help in the war effort and dug up the lawn in front of my school to plant a victory garden.” Cassell still recalls the great celebration at war’s end. “But I still didn’t get a new bike until the following June on my 14th birthday!” tws

briefs George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker Live in HD in Hailey

Mark Tuesday, Dec. 13 to experience the magic and wonder that The New York Times calls “the unique, original and inimitable Nutcracker.” A rousing snowstorm sends a blizzard of ballerinas across the stage, sweeping you to exotic locales in the enchanting Land of Sweets. You’ll meet marching toy soldiers, little Marie, and the valiant Nutcracker who saves her from the villainous, seven-headed Mouse King. With Tschaikovsky’s incomparable score, hundreds of dazzling costumes, a one-ton Christmas tree that magically grows and grows, and a million watts of illuminated excitement, George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker is the definitive holiday must-see! Big Wood4 Cinemas in Hailey will broadcast this one night only live in HD from Lincoln Center featuring the New York City Ballet. The event is co-sponsored with the Sun Valley Opera. Tickets are on sale on at www.fathomevents.com or after Dec. 4 at the theater’s box office. Ticket prices are $20 adult; $18 senior; $16 children and students.

Met Opera’s Faust Live in HD at the Big Wood 4 Cinemas Hailey

Sun Valley Opera and the Bigwood4 Cinemas will co-present Gounod’s opera Faust on Saturday Dec. 10th at 10:55 a.m. at the theatre in Hailey. Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff updates the story, originally set in 16th-century Germany, to the first half of the 20th century, with a production that won praise in London last year. One of the most performed operas in the international reparatory, Faust is a grand opera in five acts loosely based on Goethe’s Faust, Part 1, and has been translated into at least 25 languages. The New York Metropolitan Opera opened in 1883 for the first time with Faust. With Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, Rene Pape as the devil, and Marina Poplavskaya as Marguerite, Gounod’s classic retelling of the Faust legend couldn’t be better served. Tickets are $22 for general admission and $20 for seniors and may be purchased at the box office before the performance. Attendees may order lunch from the Golden Elk, which will be delivered to the theatre at intermission.

an entire year because he lost so much schooling during the war. On Easter Sunday, 1942, Bill’s mother gathered her brood and they boarded the Lurine bound for San Francisco. The ship was accompanied by a military escort. “My mother was petrified—she had three children and they told her ‘If anyone falls overboard, we won’t stop because there might be a submarine tailing us,’ ” Cassell said. “We had to close the portholes at night to keep the ship dark.” In San Francisco, the Cassells boarded a troop train to head to his grandparents’ in Indiana. It was a journey Cassell remembers fondly because the troops they ran into would always hand out candy to the kids. And he marveled at all the night lights he saw in Kansas, of all places. “My father didn’t want us to go to my Mom’s parents in Canada because he was afraid that if England fell, Canada would fall also,” he said. Cassell got his first introduction to Idaho when his father was sent to Farragut Naval Station near Sandpoint. With all the troops stationed there, it was the second largest city in Idaho, he recalled. Housing was at such a premium that the people living

across the street from his family in the lumber town of Spirit Lake lived in a chicken coop. With gas rationing precluding any driving, Cassell earned enough money to buy an $18.75 war bond, hauling people’s groceries from the commissary to people’s home in his wagon. But, while he loved the fishing and hiking Idaho offered, he still kept an eye peeled to the heavens for the balloons the Japanese were supposed to be sending to start forest fires. “And we still had families learning that their loved ones had been killed,” he said. Years later, Cassell took his own turn at serving his country. He attended paratrooper school and served as first lieutenant with the 593rd Field Artillery in Germany. He then went into education, serving as president of Heidelberg College in Ohio before retiring to Ketchum where he now serves as commander of the American Legion. Cassell returned to Hawaii with his grandchildren a few years ago, showing them where he lived and taking them aboard the USS Arizona. “I think I was very lucky to be alive… very lucky to be alive,” he said, soberly. “As we become more removed from something

Bill Cassell says one of the greatest surprises of World War II was how an entire fleet could move across the world without anyone knowing. Now that would be unthinkable, he added. Photo:

like Pearl Harbor, we tend to look back from a historical perspective rather than seeing how bad it was. “It was a horrible thing. Many people were killed, including innocent civilians. One of the commanders of the Civil War said it’s a good thing war is so terrible or we might become fond of it.” tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted a puppy named Charlie. So when my husband and I bought our first home, I decided it was time. I carefully researched every detail to find the breed that I thought would be perfect. Believe it or not, I decided on a Bullmastiff. Despite their potentially large size, I was drawn in by their gentle nature. I found a litter of puppies advertised in the classifieds and picked the cutest of the bunch. Charlie's adorable and I love him, with one exception. He drools a lot! Despite all my research, I never thought about it. I know all dogs drool, but this guy takes the prize. If he brushes up against you, you need to change your pants. And if I hold a dog biscuit in front of him, I need to mop up the puddle he creates. He's like one of the family now, but I could use a solution to control his drooling. Can you help?

• • • Cash: I can only imagine that when Charlie shakes his head, you need a raincoat. Carry: We are happy to hear that you took time to research breeds

before you chose a dog. That's a very responsible act that everyone should do, especially before giving a dog as a gift for the holidays. Cash: In your case, it was particularly important. If you were not prepared for the enormous size of a Bullmastiff, you might have had one "big" problem on your hands. Although they average around 130 pounds, we personally know some that top over 180 pounds. That's a big dog! Carry: And like you've discovered, Bullmastiffs are also known for drooling quite a bit. This is due to the excess skin they have around their mouth that collects the saliva. Cash: Since it's part of Charlie's nature, there isn't much that will

prevent him from drooling, but you can help control it. Carry: For starters, keep a few small towels handy throughout your home. When dogs play or get excited, they tend to drool more. A quick wipe of Charlie's jowls may keep you from having to change your clothes. Cash: Most importantly, change how you handle feeding your dog. If holding a biscuit causes him to drool, avoid treating him in that manner. Instead, put the treat in his food dish with little warning so drooling is kept to a minimum. Carry: With a little effort on training him around food, you just might keep from needing that raincoat!

Regardless of how much your dog drools, keep an eye out for abnormal amounts. If your dog begins to drool excessively, it could be sign that something is wrong. Problems with their teeth are the largest cause, including a chipped tooth or infected gums. Dietary problems, poisoning or certain diseases may also cause excessive drooling. For you and your dog's safety, have a professional veterinarian check out any unusual drooling behavior.

Jingle Bells

Most people are acquainted with the famous experiment of Pavlov's dogs. His groundbreaking work in the area of Physiology demonstrated that there was a connection between the environment and how our body reacts. In a series of experiments, he struck a bell every time his dogs were fed. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the sound of the bell with food. After a while, the mere ringing was enough to cause the dogs to drool at the anticipation of a meal. This experiment, along with numerous other findings, paved the way for behavioral sciences and resulted in Pavlov's Nobel Prize in 1904. •

Reader Humor Shipping Ground

As a driver for a delivery service, I'm used to dealing with dogs. A few weeks ago I delivered a package to a new house. and was greeted by a very friendly dog that wagged his tail and couldn't wait to be pet. A week later I stopped by the same house to deliver another package. However, this time the dog came running out barking and growling at me. I tossed him a few dog biscuits, but it didn't seem to work. Finally the homeowner came out to rescue me. "What happened?" I asked. "Why doesn't your dog like me anymore?" "I don't know," the man replied. "But it could be because last week you delivered his shock collar!" (Thanks to Steve R.)
