Luminaries to Spark Help for Hungry BY KAREN BOSSICK
L
ight the night and feed a hungry child. Several Wood River Valley neighborhoods are again coming together to light luminaries to raise money for The Hunger Coalition. The mass lighting will take place at dusk Sunday, Dec. 23. And all proceeds from the sale of the luminaries will be given to The Hunger Coalition. The Coalition is currently receiving requests for help from middle-class people who lost their jobs in the recession and have depleted their savings, said one spokesman. Each bag and candle costs a dollar. Most homeowners purchase an average of 20 to line their street or sidewalks, said Lee Dabney. The ninehour candles will burn out on their own, Dabney said. Dabney started the tradition seven years ago, beginning with her neighborhood in Northridge on Hailey’s north side. Since then, other neighborhoods have taken up the cause, as well—most notably, Hulen Meadows, Deerfield and Old Hailey. The luminaries have raised $30,000 for The Hunger Coalition in the past seven years, Dabney said. “That’s kind of cool. It’s a lot of money when you consider each bag is just a dollar,” said Dabney. “It’s a really beautiful tradition and it raises lots of funds. And even just a dollar makes a difference. It’s amazing how much The Hunger Coalition can stretch a dollar.” Luminaries—paper bags weighted with sand and illuminated with candles—have long been a tradition in Mexico where the faithful hoped the lights would guide the spirit of the Christ child to their homes. In recent times, they’ve been adopted as secular decorations, akin to Christmas lights. Dabney is leaving bags and candles on the doorstep of her house at 620 Kintail Drive north of Hailey, along with an envelope in which people can leave checks. Anyone wishing to help can call tws Dabney at 578-0861.

Anna Camille Grilloni
BY KAREN BOSSICK
nna Camille Grilloni’s closet opens onto a fantastical world of make believe. There’s a blue-green gown that evokes thoughts of “The Little Mermaid,” thanks to its scales of shimmering sequins and a mermaid-like flair at the bottom. There’s a Venetian silk gown with a peacock feather headdress that Las Vegas showgirls would wear. There are 1700’s Renaissance ball gowns that would fit right in at a carnival with Mozart or Casanova. There’s a new “tropical gown” that bursts with every color in the universe down to the silk flowers that make up the shoulder strap. There’s even an Audrey Hepburn dress and dresses from her “Mad Men” collection. Camille, as her friends know her, is a fashionista back home in Italy where she grew up. Here, she’s the proprietress of La Dolce Vita Fashion Design, Accessories and Consulting. In short, she helps women—and men—get dolled up for those special occasions, whether it’s the perfect mountain wedding or Saturday night’s hospital ball. “All the world’s a stage—why not play the part,” she chatters in her lilting Italian accent. “Oscar Wilde said it better than I ever could in his ‘Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young’: ‘One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art.’ And, while we are free to strive toward the for-
mer, slightly pretentious ideal, there is no doubt that the latter can be more easily attained!” Grilloni’s passion for fashion dates back to childhood—her mother just found some of her earliest designs while cleaning out the closet. She designed a flapper-style costume for Carnival when she was seven. As a young woman the 5-foot9, 114-pound romantic turned model. She followed that up with a career as a clothing designer. “I have never gotten over fairy tales, whether it is the animated feature ‘Cinderella’ or the movie ‘Sabrina’ with Audrey Hepburn. I’m a nut for the glamorous divas of the ’40s and ’50s. And I can go on for hours singing songs from some of their movies,” Grilloni said, launching into a song from “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Chocolat, her toy poodle with a shaggy hairdo that resembles Albert Einstein’s or Ludwig Van Beethoven’s, knows the cue. She launches up onto her hind legs and begins spinning around the kitchen. Winter is ball time, starting with St. Luke’s ball this past Saturday night. And that makes it Grilloni’s favorite season of the year. “Italians care about how you package yourself all day long. I love it here because I can dress casual in the morning and then dress up like a princess in the evening. I adore to dress up at night,” said Grilloni, who has also been spotted wearing lace on her snowboard when the occasion calls for it. Grilloni offers a scrapbook of Asian brocades from Hong Kong, Chinese silks, taffetas and Venezia romantic brocades dating back to the 1500s for her clients to choose from. She also offers a line of unusual accessories, including elegant, one-of-a-kind leggings with sequins from Italy, Venetian masks and choker-type necklaces that she’s designed to set off her corsets and gowns. Ketchum resident Connie Hoffman remembers fondly an open house Grilloni had—the kind where women were shoving their feet into each others’ backs to help them get into the corsets. “Her fashions are very feminine, sensual and exquisite,” she said. Sun Valley resident Alma Mills has a few of Grilloni’s gowns, as well as

r does it? This is not a yes or no choice. A closer look at human psycholBali Szabo ogy, biology and the cosmos, the three biggest chapters in the size discussion, reveals that reality is a ledger. Size has its assets and liabilities, be it details of human anatomy, microbe to whale, or the expanding cosmos. It’s very tempting to handle the human chapter. That’s where all the fun is—from the size of the deficit to the $500 million Powerball or our anatomical obsessions. For now, I’m taking the easy way out and tackling the vast, unfathomable expanses of the cosmos. You’re probably better off reading People. Galactic and intergalactic space is the ultimate non-habitat for humanity. Human beings want to matter, but even life on Earth threatens our notions of significance. After World War I, a bird flu microbe killed 18 million people. One hiccup of nature and over 100,000 people die from a tsunami. Many of us have felt dwarfed by a 25,000’ ring of mountains, on foot in a large desert like the Sahara or the Taklamakan, or sailing solo mid-ocean when it’s just us, the elements and the stars. It’s only since the last 2300 years that we’ve known the size of the Earth, and only the head librarian at Alexandria knew it. The knowledge died with him and had to be rediscovered 1500 years later. In 1672 a French astronomer figured out the distance from here to Mars, and so our distance from the sun (100 million miles). A little later, Isaac Newton wondered about the distance to the nearest star, sharpened his pencil and came up with 100,000 times our distance from the sun, or 10 trillion miles. To make these numbers too manageable, we came up with the light-year, the distance light travels in one year, about 6 trillion miles. The relatively small Milky Way is 100,000 light-years wide. The average distance between galax-
First Snow in the Rockies.
ies is 2 million light-years. When we look up in the sky or observe a celestial object through the Hubble telescope, we are not getting real-time data. We get what happened 100,000, 2 million, or even 13.7 billion years ago. The latter figure is the age of the universe, when it began expanding from a point of matter and began to emit measureable light. This is only the observable universe. There could be more, but the light from them has yet to reach us. We can understand these times and distances abstractly, but we remain tethered to our senses. We relate to what we can touch, see and travel to, what our emotions can connect to. We’re still struggling with the
question—are we or are we not a part of nature here on Earth? We’ve determined that about 3 percent of the stars could have a planet that can host life; i.e., could sustain water in a liquid form. The statistical probability of life, any life, in the observable universe is one-millionth of one-billionth of one percent (14 zeros). The size of the universe and intemperate Mother Nature has, can and will highlight our insignificance. Yet, we can measure the universe, and we are extremely rare. We may well be alone—and that’s significant. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.
Eating Green, On The Cheap!
I
f your pocketbook has a tummy ache over the prospect of extra holiday spending, you could use some tips to feed yourself sustainably, but on the cheap! This time of year is the biggest challenge for localistas, because locally raised produce is virtually nonexistent now and, let’s face it, organic food is expensive. Your thriftiest organic purchases this time of year are sweet potatoes, kale and other dark greens, carrots and apples. It’s not so important to spend for organic onions, winter squash, citrus, or anything else you will peel. Don’t forget about alfalfa and other sprouts. They’re simple to grow yourself in a glass jar with a cheesecloth lid, and are so high in nutrients. Stock up on frozen vegetables when on sale, but store them properly and use them up! Good quality canned vegetables actually have better nutrients than freezer-burned frozen veggies, and the cans are much less expensive. Go meatless at least two days a week; for your protein, focus on beans and lentils, brown rice and other grains. Stock up when these dry staples are on sale, because they maintain nutritional quality for a long time. Pretend that the convenience foods just don’t exist. Frozen pizzas, pasta and rice topper mixes, and the like, are expensive and generally high in sodium and other baddies. Instead, make large batches of hearty soups and casseroles, then freeze meal-size portions for another day. By spring, you’ll be healthier, and that pocketbook tws will be happier!

Charlie Brown Starts Tonight BY KAREN BOSSICK
D
avid Janeski holds his kite in his hands as if he’s mentally willing it to fly. As Charlie Brown, he’s the eternal optimist. “I’m trying to get this stupid kite to fly—I think it will happen,” he tells a reporter who’s interrupted his meditative practice. You can find out whether the little bald-headed kid does get his kite to fly when Company of Fools presents “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Yup. Happiness is… a night out with the Peanuts gang. And the Fools will stage the musical comedy featuring Charles Schulz’s beloved comicstrip characters tonight through Dec. 30 at The Liberty Theatre, 110 N. Main St., in Hailey. “I’m honored to play Charlie Brown—he represents a bit of all of us,” said Janeski, who is portraying what is arguably one of the most recognizable characters of the 20th century. Fools’ set designer Joe Lavigne has transformed the stage into the Sunday comics with all the classic pieces, including
Snoopy’s dog house and Schroeder’s tiny piano in residence. And Fools Music Director R.L. Rowsey has composed original music, playing off the music that’s so familiar to the Charlie Brown specials on TV. The vignettes for the 1967 musical comedy, composed by Clark Gesner, are taken right out of Charles Schulz’s playbook. “I like the part best where Lucy sets up the football and Charlie Brown keeps thinking, ‘This is it. This is the time I will finally kick the football,’ ” said Janeski, who has appeared with the Fools in “The Glass Menagerie,” “110 in the Shade” and “Welcome Home, Jenny Sutton.” Fools Director John Glenn has been here before, helping to produce the play in 1975, 1988, 1991 and 2000 in Richmond, Va. “I’ve loved this show for much of my life,” he said. “It’s a show that very much appeals to adults—I think Schulz wrote not for children but for adults. He has kids saying things adults would say, expressing thoughts that you and I would have.” “It’s a great lovable human play,” said Audra Honaker, who plays Lucy. “I saw it for the first

embers of the Croy Canyon Ranch Foundation have endured some difficult times this year as Blaine County commissioners questioned whether the Valley might better be served by a remodeled Blaine Manor or a for-profit nursing care center instead of the non-profit facility they envision that would offer Valley residents everything from independent living apartments to skilled nursing care. Their fundraising stymied by the recession, Foundation members had to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to fund the facility. They finally decided they want voters to be able to weigh in on a $29.5-million general obligation bond that would bring the facility to reality. But Thursday, Foundation members paused to welcome new board members at a luncheon at John and Carey Dondero’s new home along the Big Wood River south of Ketchum. They
also honored outgoing president Jeanne Cassell, who has been on the front lines with the Foundation since its inception 10 years ago. “Some heroes don’t wear capes—you’re that kind of hero,” said new Board President Anita McCann. “The ultimate measure of a person is not how they stand at times of comfort, but how they stand in times of challenge and controversy. Jeanne stood very steadfast, very calm and steady, through times that were tough.” Cassell said she was sorry the effort to build Croy Canyon Ranch has taken longer than expected. “But we’re still going,” she added. She likened the effort to the Apostle Paul who had his vision of spreading the gospel temporarily derailed by a huge storm and shipwreck. “His plans had to change but his vision remained the same and he accomplished great things,” she said. Cassell challenged the board to carry forth, saying that the
Mark Salzman Workshop BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
ward-winning novelist and non-fiction author Mark Salzman will conduct a day-long workshop titled “Creative Frustration” Saturday at The Community Library in Ketchum. The workshop is particularly designed for those artists who have found themselves with writer’s block. “All artists experience frustration at one time or another, especially those who aim high, but for some of us the problem becomes acute. Just the thought of sitting down to write or draw or compose can trigger such anxiety that we can scarcely bring ourselves to do it at all. The more desperately we search for a solution, the worse the problem becomes. I can help you turn frustration into creation,” said Salzman. Salzman knows of what he teaches. He himself experienced a horrible case of writer’s block three years ago when he was trying to meet the deadlines for a novel set during the 13th century Mongol Empire. His angst led
Th e W e e k l y S u n •
to the just-published book “The Man in the Empty Boat,” which came out of a performance piece he developed for the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. Salzman is a founder of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference and often acts as the emcee for the four-day confab. Those who have heard his breakout sessions at the conference say he is hysterical. Salzman is best known for his 1986 memoir, “Iron & Silk,” which describes his experiences living in China as an English teacher in the early 1980s. The book won several literary awards and was made into a 1990 film for which Salzman wrote the screenplay and starred as himself. Salzman’s other books include “The Laughing Sutra,” “The Soloist,” which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, “Lying Awake,” “Lost in Place: Growing Up Absurd in Suburbia,” and “True Notebooks,” about his experience as a writing teacher in Central Juvenile Hall.

community that the Foundation envisions is a beautiful place that anyone would want to live in. “As a football fan I’m always getting upset with the reporters on TV because they’re always talking about the people carrying the ball and they never mention the center or the linebackers. You are an amazing team of people and I challenge to you to make this happen,” she added. Carey Dondero, who has served on parent-teacher associations, with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation and on St. Luke’s Core board, is the new vice president of the Croy Canyon Ranch Foundation. Patsy Nickum, whose Rocky Mountain Hardware has already won an award for the door handles on the Dondero doors, is secretary. Greg Peterson is treasurer and Greg Cappel, assistant treasurer. New board members are Ketchum attorney Jan Wygle and architect Jim McLaughlin, who designed the Dondero home. tws

Thanks to a grant made possible by the Little Black Dress Club, and help from partners such as Sun Valley Company, VAMPS and the Boulder Mountain Tour, the Girls on the Run organization would like to help make a budding cross-country skier set their sights on completing the Boulder Mountain Tour on February 2, 2013. Girls on the Run Director Mary Fauth said, “…the real costs to train, travel and participate in a goal in any sport comes with substantial costs, but the rewards are tenfold when you accomplish something for yourself and on behalf of something you care about.” The Solemate Charity Racing Program is the fundraising arm of Girls on the Run. “We wanted to expose the Solemate program to winter athletes. And working with a group like Muffy Ritz’s VAMPS is one of the ingredients we believe is a benefit and major motivator in contemplating any sport goal… camaraderie.” One athlete will be awarded a spot on the VAMPS cross-country ski training program, a Sun Valley Nordic ski pass and an entry in the Boulder Mountain Tour. Applicants should visit the Girls on the Run website for the full application. Deadline to enter is Friday, December 14.

Ski Patrol Goes Through Explosives, But Never Fear BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
hose who live within earshot of Bald Mountain said that it sounded like a war zone last week as the Sun Valley Ski Patrol unleashed barrage after barrage of explosives to dislodge any snow that had an inkling of sliding. Did they use up all their explosives for the year? No fear, says Snow Safety Director Rich Bingham. The ski patrol keeps a threeto five-day supply in a secure cache on top of the mountain. And patrollers anticipate what they need ahead of time so they can order more explosives from Idaho Falls, as needed. The deliveries can be made in a day or so. Bingham said the ski patrol
upped the explosive power of many of its charges by putting two 2-pound charges together to shock the snow harder and deeper during this last storm cycle when Baldy got four feet of new snow. But, he said, they probably used fewer explosives than they would have if a large amount of snow had fallen on the bottom of the mountain as well as the top. “We just thought with the big slide in Lookout Bowl that it was important to err on the side of caution. We wanted to be extra cautious before we opened the Bowls,” he added. And open the Bowls they did come Thursday morning. Those who have been around the mountain for years say it’s one of the earliest Bowl openings in the tws mountain’s history.

Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus presents A Sun Valley Soul Christmas, Dec. 21 – 23 For the third year in a row, the Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus will perform what has become an annual Valley Christmas tradition—A Sun Valley Soul Christmas. Along with wonderful classic Christmas songs and carols, there will be a variety of music, dancers, a live band and even an illuminated Christmas tree. The festivities will be led by local conductor Patty Parsons-Tewson. Every year has a different theme of exploring and opening to other cultures for a few of the songs. Last year included some traditional African-based songs and dances.
This year, Parsons-Tewson was inspired when she was invited to put together a choir for the Wood River Jewish Community High Holy Days. “The community was so welcoming and embracing,� she enthuses, so this year’s program will include a few Hebrew traditional folk songs. Hillarie Neely’s Footlight Dancers will dance in full costume to these passionate tunes. “The message of the concert is about peace and bringing people together,� shares Parsons-Tewson. The concert is free and begins at 7 p.m. nightly, Dec. 21, 22 and 23 at the nexStage Theater in Ketchum.
United Way Announces New Auto Withdrawal Program for Donors Ease The United Way of South Central Idaho was featured in a special ceremony at the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce recently, where they announced a new and easier way for donors to give, via auto withdrawal directly from their checking or savings accounts. In a partnership with First Federal Bank, the United Way offers every donor the choice to have monthly donations drawn from their checking or savings accounts on the 15th or 30th of each month, through a secured system offered by the bank. Executive Director Bill Knopp said, “There are numerous benefits to individual donors in using this safe and secure system of auto withdrawal. It’s easy, like paying your monthly utility bill. Instead of writing a donation check at the end of the year, you can spread it out over 12 months, and track it through your monthly bank
statement. By having auto withdrawal, you don’t have to think about future contributions, as it will be done automatically for you. And, all donations are tax deductible.� Funds that are donated to the United Way of South Central Idaho are used to support over 30 local agency programs, including the Meals on Wheels program. All contributions are managed locally by a volunteer board and an allocations committee consisting of community leaders. In March of each year, the allocations committee spends three days interviewing grant applicants to determine how to allocate those funds to the non-profit 501-c-3 agency programs in our area. For more information about United Way, and to sign up for the auto withdrawal system, call the United Way office at 733-4922 or e-mail director@ unitedwayscid.org

Dave Rambo shows off a piece of redwood pipe that was considered state of the art when it was laid as water pipe under Ketchum.
Underground History STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
Y
ou normally look for bits and pieces of history in museums. But it turns out that there is still some history underneath Ketchum’s streets. When a water pipe under Trail Creek Village recently sprung a leak, workers found an old 2-inch-diameter pipe constructed of redwood, bound with tarpaper and cinched with spiral wire. It looked a perfect match for the late 1800s Big Hitch ore wagons that parade through the streets of Ketchum every Labor Day weekend. “I haven’t seen pipe like that in 25 years,� said Pat Cooley, utilities services representative for the City of Ketchum. “On rare occasions, we do find a piece like that,� added Steve Hansen, Ketchum’s recently retired utility manager. “The last we found in service was probably back in the 1990s on Walnut Street. That was the city main line so we replaced it with modern plastic pipe. I’d estimate that the wooden pipe is gone from 99 percent of city property now.� Redwood pipe was state of the art in the late 1800s when the first water systems were built in the then-fledgling city of Ketchum. The pipe was probably manufactured in Oregon and brought here by wagon or train, said Hansen. The city replaced the wooden pipes with steel line and later plastic pipe as those technologies became available. But it didn’t touch private property such as that at Trail Creek Village, which sits on the south end of Ketchum across from the Kent-
Ketchum’s City Water Department has saved several pieces of wooden pipe in what employees call “the boneyard.�
“As antique as this is, they’re lucky it lasted as long as it did.�

Grace Carroll Sculpts Heads on Behalf of Hunger Coalition BY KAREN BOSSICK

race Carroll is giving The Hunger Coalition a heads-up. The Wood River High School senior has skillfully crafted four sculptures representing the four seasons. And she’s selling them to raise money for The Hunger Coalition for her senior project. Rest assured, these are not the stuff of firstGrace Carroll cast the head graders playing with of fellow classmate Paige plaster of Paris. “They’re pretty amaz- Stevenson with alginate and plaster. ing,� said Raine Kidman, assistant director of Gilman Contemporary. “She put a lot of thought into them. They’re something I’d like to have for my own.� Carroll worked with Hailey artist Pamela De Tuncq on her senior project. She cast the head of fellow classmate Paige Stevenson with alginate and plaster to create a mold. She then filled that mold with plaster, replacing her friend’s neck with a tall, slender, stylized neck, and created another mold with layers of rubber, fiberglass and Styrofoam. She then poured concrete into the mold, allowing it to harden. She finished by molding the heads into bases. “It was a stretch for me because I have never sculpted or done three-dimensional art before,� said Carroll, who hopes to eventually wind up at California College of the Arts in the Bay Area. “But I wanted to focus on art because I am extremely passionate about it and I wanted to further my skills as much as I could.� Carroll said she decided to use seasons in her design because each has its own personality and character, and “all are uniquely beautiful.� Carroll’s spring piece boasts wooden shoes sprouting out like bunny ears. A small bird and her eggs lie in a bird’s nest made of moss and wire.
Fall is represented by antlers and feathers.
She chose a Mexican theme for summer, building an angular crown to represent the sun and endowing the piece with vibrantly colored blossoming flowers. Antlers and feathers depict the start of hunting season in fall. Her winter sculpture features pearls, feathers showing the lightness of snow and black ribbon and jewels representing black-tie holiday parties. Carroll’s pieces will be on display at Gilman Contemporary in Ketchum through Friday, Dec. 14. Each piece is priced at $100 with 100 percent of the proceeds going to The Hunger Coalition. “The charity spoke to me because I think people, in general, underestimate the problem with hunger. This issue affects many people in the Wood River Valley and every single person deserves support,� she said. “I probably put 50 hours or so into the entire project, but it’s totally worth it because the money helps The Hunger Coalition. Hopefully, they’ll tws sell!�

Telar McClure Pursues the Outdoors, Makes Pottery BY JONATHAN KANE
T
elar McClure, a senior at Wood River High School carrying a 3.9 grade point average, is a young woman of many interests. Despite her love of all outdoor activities, she still has time to throw her efforts into a variety of pursuits. One of those is the school’s environmental club which she joined her junior year. “Our motto is that we appreciate the earth’s resources,� McClure said. There are about 15 students in the club and last year they threw their involvement into creating the plastic-bag initiative for Hailey that narrowly lost. “It was a really close vote,� McClure said. “I learned so much about politics and government by actually being a part of it and trying to actually pass an initiative. This year our focus is on putting more recycling bins in the city of Hailey. Our objective is to get businesses to donate money to pay for the effort and to initially get bins in the parks and then later in downtown.� The club meets once a week at lunchtime to discuss their future plans. “I really enjoy doing it and I’ve made great friends. But, most importantly, it’s changed my own habits and taught me just how much we all affect the environment.� For her senior project, McClure has stepped far afield from her normal interests by learning how to make pottery at Boulder Mountain Clayworks. “I did it once before and thought it was really cool, so I thought for my project it would be interesting to get more involved in-depth. Basically, I learned how to throw on the pottery wheel, which is the way you make bowls and vases. I’ve made nine pieces altogether and I’ve done a lot of research on the history of pottery. It will all come together when I make my presentation on January 17th.� McClure started her work in October. “It was hard to learn and I messed up a lot but it was also really fun. Each piece goes through a number of steps that would take two to three weeks to finish. Especially hard was the glazing process, which would follow after painting. To complete an object, you have to repeat the glazing and then firing in the kiln a number of times. You end up being so proud of your work when you are done and it’s something that you’re really proud of. I’m so glad I have learned these skills and it’s something that I definitely want to do again in the future.� In the meantime, McClure is finishing her senior year at Wood River with all the stresses of applying for college and waiting for the results. Along the way, she excelled in a number of Advanced Placement classes, including micro and macroeconomics, language and composi-

I think we’re really lucky to have such a good high school here. My favorite subject has always been math, probably because it comes so easy to me. I like the fact that you learn by doing and that it’s not out of a textbook. Calculus has been the most challenging and has been my favorite so far. I also love Spanish and I’ve been taking it for five years. I’ve traveled to Spain and Peru and it gave me the chance to use it. Spanish is the language that has the most practical applications and I get to use it here in the valley a lot.� For college, McClure hopes are to get into either the University of Oregon, the University of Denver or Cal Poly. “I’d like Cal Poly because I love math so much and because I’m thinking of majoring in biomedical engineering. I’m not really sure of what I want to do, but I know I want to study life and the world around me.� It is a world that McClure is anxious to embrace. tws

FASHIONISTA, from page 1 four corsets, leggings sporting animals and jewelry pieces. “Her designs are alluring— sexy chic but not too overtly sexy. They’re fun to wear for a special, romantic evening,� Mills said. “Her corsets are also fun for special occasions—they’re clearly not everyday wear, but they’re very fanciful, very unique. She has also outfitted me with three different beautiful fur shawls to go over the corsets and to keep your shoulders warm while maintaining the formal look. And her jewelry pieces are outstanding—they really set off what you’re wearing.� Grilloni said that dress-up received a setback in the 1970s under the feminists and it took a further hit during the grunge period of the ’90s. But now women are no longer afraid that if they doll themselves up, people will think that they’re brainless bimbos, she said.

UI-Blaine Extension Tips
Youth Credit Score Education Program Training Being Offered Throughout Idaho
N
Kids Mattresses
ational Public Radio recently reported that a credit score can be just as important as a SAT score as youth transition into adulthood. http://www.npr. org/templates/story/story. php?storyId=5416319. Yet, the majority of youth receive little if any education on this important topic. Credit scores are not only important for borrowing money, even employers use credit scores to determine eligibility and rates. A new youth credit score education program called Credit Score Millionaire has been developed by educators from the University of Idaho Extension. They are offering regional trainings to teachers and educators throughout Idaho. The training is free to attend (except in Burley and St. Anthony), and the program is free to use with youth audiences. It is designed to be taught in one to one-anda-half hours. The target audiences for this program include youth and young adults ages 17-22. These are the critical years when many individuals either make or break their credit scores with positive or negative financial behaviors. Ill-informed decisions at this age can follow an individual for many years to come.
Using a game-show approach, this interactive workshop promotes positive financial behaviors and low-cost strategies for establishing and building credit. It also dispels popular, but costly, credit score myths like this one: True or False: you must carry a balance on your credit card in order to build credit. Answer: False. Yet, many people erroneously believe that they must carry a balance, costing them months of unnecessary interest payments. This program is designed to be easily taught by those with little or no experience with credit score education. Three detailed instructor’s guides walk you through program setup, video content and the game-show activity. Instructor guides are handed out during classes.

oguls… Love them, Hate them. It’s true! Whether you love them or hate them, you will still find yourself in them at one point or another. There are many important aspects when skiing bumps. Here are a couple of pointers that will help beginners and skiers of all levels. When starting in the bumps, keep your speed easy and comfortable. Pick moguls on a gentle slope. Moguls have often been located on a black diamond rated trails where it can be very difficult to learn. In recent years many resorts have added small sections of moguls on the blue square or intermediate slopes for those who are learning the bumps. These sections are smaller and narrower so they are easy to step out of if you get in trouble. Look at the moguls ahead of you so you’re prepared for what’s to come. If your head is down looking at your feet or ski tips, you will become unbalanced. Try looking three to four bumps ahead, more if you are skiing a more direct line and skiing faster. Remember, if you’re not looking at what is to come, the moguls will come at you too fast. Even if you have to change your line, keep looking down the hill. Remember, you don’t drive a car by looking at the hood, although you would swear that some people do. Another aspect that we should also consider is our pole plants or hand position. The hands need to be kept forward and driving down the hill. Many people have what I call T-Rex arms. This is when you look at them from the side and they look like a little T-Rex with short stubby arms. Get in the habit of keeping your hands within your peripheral vision. If you can’t see them you may suffer from T-Rex syndrome. If your vision is up and looking down the hill, this will aid balance and rhythm, and will keep you from falling into the backseat (the backseat is when your body mass is no longer centered over your boots, but falls back behind your boots and bindings). Remember that moguls are challenging and constantly changing, so be patient and have fun!!! By Chris Rybak P.S. Short poles rule!

Love Will Find a Way BY JONATHAN KANE
Jon rated this movie
T Holidays Rule! BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR 103.7 KSKI
R
eady or not, here comes Christmas. Every year about this time the market is flooded with holiday releases and, really, who needs another Chipmunks Christmas CD? I’ve sorted through the best (and the worst) of the Christmas music this year, and the best for my money is Holidays Rule, a compilation of today’s artists singing traditional (and a couple of not-so-traditional) tunes for the season. The disc starts out with Fun. and their slick take on Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride,� followed by The Shins’ rendition of Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime.� While Fun. put their hyper-pop edge on “Sleigh Ride,� The Shins apply a Brian Wilson Pet Sounds-like approach to the McCartney classic. Heartless Bastards step in for a raucous version of “Blue Christmas� and Rufus Wainwright puts a dapper spin on “Baby, It’s Cold Outside� with the help of Sharon Van Etten. The Civil Wars’ take on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day� casts a gloomy shadow on the collection, but Johnny Cash’s version of the same song is no cheery walk in the snow, either. Calexico throw their hat into the ring with their own version of “Green Grows The Holly� and their orchestration is spot-on, as usual, but yet again, not a jolly song. There are plenty of fantastic Christmas songs to be found on Holidays Rule; check out Irma Thomas’ rendition of Louis Jordan’s “May Ev’ry Day Be Christmas� with help from The Preservation Hall Jazz Band; a true holiday treat for music lovers. tws

The Punch line
hankfully, we are that time of year when the studios role out the good films, hoping for Oscar consideration. A great case in point is the new film The Sessions that cannot help but leave you in tears. Superbly written and directed by Ben Lewin, who was afflicted with polio at a young age, it tells the true story of Mark O’Brien – a poet that was afflicted with polio as well and who, at the age of 38, turned to a sex therapist so that he could achieve sexual intercourse before he died. This is a movie that deals with sex in a refreshingly positive tone and voice as O’Brien, portrayed brilliantly by John Hawkes as a man spending much of his life in an iron lung, opens his heart to his therapist, played equally brilliantly by Helen Hunt. This
is a brave performance, to say the least, as the sex scenes are explicit and that Hunt spends great stretches of the movie nude. Also excellent is William H. Macy as O’Brien’s priest who tells him that God will probably give him a pass for intercourse outside of marriage. Macy even goes over to O’Brien’s house to celebrate with a beer once O’Brien has passed his dreamedof threshold. All three actors will merit serious Oscar consideration. But the lion’s share of the credit must go to Lewin who has crafted an incredibly moving story into a brilliant script as
well as a sensitive touch to his direction. In this age of sexuality being treated as the butt of a crude joke, Lewin’s take is both refreshing as well as incredibly moving. This is a must-see film in your holiday season. tws

Grilloni: La Dolce Vita Editor’s note: Maybe it’s her Italian background. Whatever it is, Anna Camille Grilloni is a true Renaissance woman with a passion for fashion and food. We couldn’t tell about one without telling about the other. STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSICK
A
nna Camille Grilloni’s pet peeve is waiters who give her the check before she’s had a chance to order dessert. That’s why it’s not surprising that meals at Grilloni’s home, which overlooks Trail Creek, are events over which to linger. And they always come with dessert—make that two, three, even four desserts. “La dolce vita—the sweet life,” Grilloni said. “I like the idea of dessert at least as much as the dessert itself. It implies we’re savoring the experience of eating, sitting there with friends. “ Grilloni’s love affair with food started as a young girl growing up in Udine, a city near the Alps dominated by a castle and cathedral. In the morning she would walk to school past all kinds of tantalizing aromas, from freshbaked brioche, or croissants, to robust espresso. And, always, she returned home for lunch, the main meal of the day. “Some of my happiest moments were related to lunch,” Grilloni recalled. “I’d come home from school with stories. My grandparents would bring some from the market. And we’d sit and chat over lunch for two or three hours. I loved it.” It was in that spirit that Grilloni served up lunch to her friend and Italian student Geri Herbert, who lives nearby. “Ciao,” Herbert greeted her, as she ducked out of the single-digit chill into Grilloni’s condo, which sits within walking distance of Bald Mountain. “Come stai? How are you?” Grilloni replied. “Molto bene. Very good,” Herbert replied. The two were introduced through a common friend, Cristina Ceccatelli Cook, another Italian and the owner of Cristina’s Restaurant. And they became fast friends fused by a common love of good quotes and Italian food. “With Anna Camille, you get an immersion not just in the Italian language but in the history, the culture, the music of Italy,” said Herbert. “And she knows not just Italian and English but German and French, as well.” Grilloni—Camille’s family name means “Big Cricket”—ushered Herbert to the kitchen bar where she had placed three types of antipasto cheeses on Roman plates. “Italians believe that each meal and course should be a crescendo, going from milder flavors to stronger ones,” said Grilloni, as she directed Herbert to start with the ricotta cheese followed by the pecorino—a hard salty cheese made of sheep milk and, then, the Gorgonzola. She topped the ricotta with a small spoonful of orange mostarda, an Italian chutney made of candied fruit and mustard. She paired the pecorino with a pear-flavored mostarda and the Gorgonzola with a fig mostarda. As Herbert savored the tang of the cheese with the sweet mostardas, Grilloni finished stirring a bright medley of baby carrots, zucchini and red and yellow pepper strips that she had sautéed in cream and Marsala wine in a copper pan she brought with her from Italy. At the last minute she added some golden raisins she’d plumped in warm water. “Italians love color. And we also try to use foods in season. The first time I saw watermelon

out of season in Atkinsons’ I was like…“ she froze like a deer caught in the headlights while clutching the kitchen counter. Returning her attention to lunch, Grilloni spooned freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the Tuscan-style green beans that Herbert had made with sautéed red onions, fresh chives and fresh Italian parsley leaves. “I love that the Italians don’t relegate vegetables to a side dish,” said Herbert. “They honor vegetables. They make them a course in and of themselves.” As Herbert talked, Grilloni moved back to the stove where she took the spoon one more time to the risotto ai funghi that she has been stirring off and on for the better part of an hour in a red cast-iron pot covered in enamel. “Risotto takes a long time but you chat while you cook and the time flies,” she said. “Risotto is a comforting winter dish—warm and creamy when it’s cold. It’s in the same category as lasagna. Northern Italians cook risotto with mushrooms. My father is from Sicily—they flavor theirs with peppers and zucchini.” Grilloni poured Italian champagne into wine glasses sitting next to glasses of iced water with orange slices. “My cooking teacher says if you do not eat risotto right away it’s boiled rice with sauce,” said Herbert. A former model, Grilloni came to Sun Valley 18 years ago for “amore.” Clara Spiegel, part of the Spiegel sewing machine family, was her first Italian student. “She was in her 90s when we met—she had decided she wanted to brush up on her Italian, which she had learned as a young girl when she lived with an uncle in Florence,” recalled Grilloni. “Clara said when she turned 30 she spent the whole day crying because she thought her life was over. “Thereafter, she took up something new each decade. At 50, she learned to hunt—I’ve seen pictures of her hunting with Ernest Hemingway. At 70, she took up fly-fishing. And at 90, it was language.” There is no salt and pepper on the table. There is no need, with everything exuding a rich flavor of mushrooms and cream “Anna Camille is an amazing cook. Whenever I come for lessons, she says, ‘I just made this for Billy. Would you like a taste?’ And I never say, ‘No,’ ” said Herbert, as opera music and the soundtrack from “Dangerous Beauty” played in the background. As soon as Herbert had polished off her risotto, Grilloni added a third glass to the table—this one filled with limoncello cream. Then she retreated to the kitchen where she took a couple biscotti she had made with anise seeds and almonds from an ornamental 13-by-9-inch
December 12, 2012
Italian tin. “Biscotti made with anise and almonds is the only authentic biscotti in Italy,” Grilloni said, as she pressed her espresso machine into action. “Making biscotti is incredibly time consuming. You make the dough and bake it. Then when it comes out of the oven, you slice it and bake it again. But it’s made to go with coffee—this.” Grilloni didn’t stop with the biscotti. She added a mound of panna cotta, or cooked cream custard topped with vanilla bean shavings, to each plate. And then she placed a four-inch slice of tiramisu, which she informed Herbert means “pick me up,” on each plate. If they’re still hungry after that, she announced, they could delve into the two torta all’arancia, or orange-flavored cakes she’d made with yogurt and shaped in Christmas tree molds. Grilloni dipped her biscotti into her espresso, which she’d poured in a tiny red cup sitting on a shiny red platter. “I never skimp on desserts. It’s diets that make you fat,” said Grilloni, who has retained the sleek elegant look of a model on her 5-foot-9 frame. “We use a lot of cream and I think when you have higher protein, you don’t have the sugar rush. It sticks with you longer.” Billy Smith, Grilloni’s beau of the past 10 years, confirmed that desserts are no stranger to their home—Grilloni always makes four or five desserts whenever she throws a dinner party. Smith said he has made a point of heading home for lunch every day, to enjoy the “full-on Italian fare” that Grilloni cooks up. “I love the flavor and the variety. And I love Anna Camille’s attention to the quality of what we eat—we eat organic as much as possible,” he said. “And the volume—well, I have learned to watch my waistline.”

GH—mushy and bitter; YUM—sweet and crunchy. You may already know the following, but I didn’t, so here goes. In Webhunting info about this debate, I found out to my amazement that scientists have discovered a genetic reason why people love or hate Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts contain a chemical similar to PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) which tastes bitter to people who have that particular mutated gene. Those without this gene are immune to the bitterness (that’s 50 percent of the people). I know those who only like Brussels sprouts raw (I guess less bitter). No matter what, please know that this veggie is low in saturated fat and cholesterol and is a great source of thiamin, riboflavin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and copper and is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, K and B6, folate, potassium and manganese. It is low in calories, is good for you and is abundant this time of the year. I guess that’s why it’s also thought of as a festive dish, so I am thinking sprouts for my holiday meals. Brussels sprouts: 3 to 4 servings per pound Here, within a two-part series, are eight ways of serving them and, who knows, maybe because of the additional ingredients, even those with the “bitter� gene might enjoy them as well! Stir-Fry: Peel the outer leaves off the heads; slice thinly the nubby center; stir-fry all in a bit of olive oil for about 2 minutes with some minced fresh ginger and red pepper flakes; when the leaves are tender, stir in slivered scallions, lemon zest
and a bit of butter. SautÊ: Cut into quarters and sautÊ with butter, caraway seeds, bits of real bacon and chopped onion (or thinly sliced onion); then add a splash of apple cider vinegar and let that cook down to glaze the sprouts. Use Raw: Slice thinly and toss with very thinly sliced radicchio, toasted pine nuts, sharp goat cheese and red-wine vinaigrette. Caramelized: Slice thinly or in quarters. In a skillet, melt some butter and olive oil and add the sprouts to brown for about 8-10 minutes. Then add some brown sugar and/or honey and keep on stirring till the sprouts are well covered with this mixture and done the way you would like. Taste for adjustments. If you wish, add a bit of ginger, cinnamon or paprika and/or some chicken bouillon, a dash of orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar or even brandy to finish it off. You can really use your imagination here; however, don’t use too many ingredients at once—discretion and judgment on the minimal side count here.

A Lighthearted Novel
Skipping Christmas, A Novel, by John Grisham, 2001, 177 pages in small-sized hardback BY MARGOT VAN HORN
T
here are quite a few lovely stories and books with the Christmas theme, but here’s one that is a bit more “with the times.� I thought this story was very lighthearted but still made you think about what this holiday is all about. It’s definitely not in Grisham’s usual legal thriller mode, but it’s a story that I’m sure all of us can relate to. It’s one that will make you chuckle, laugh, and contemplate. And you’ll meet a lot of people whom you know. So, picture yourself and your wife becoming empty nesters right before Christmas. You are envisioning a holiday with no joy or cheer because your dearest daughter has joined the Peace Corps and is in Peru. Solution: you’ve decided to “Skip Christmas,� as it were, and to take a glorious Caribbean cruise. You are not going to have a tree, you are not going to attend the office Christmas parties, you are not going to send Christmas cards,
you are not going to donate your usual holiday money contributions, and so on. However, skipping this holiday is not as easy as you think. For one thing you live on one of those blocks where everyone puts a Frosty on their roof. This is part of a serious competition with the other nearby blocks who have Rudolfs, Santas, and other Christmas paraphernalia on their roofs. If you don’t put up your Frosty, your block of homes will not win the coveted city decoration prize, which they so far have won every year. So, the neighbors become antagonistic and, to top that, so do the police, firemen and Boy Scouts whom you have refused to grant holiday money to this year—in spite of promising monies for other projects during the next year. Get the picture? Skipping Christmas has become a mean and serious business. However, what the Kranks learn is what the true meaning of Christmas really is and they succumb to it in a very harried but lovely way. So, I hope that you will enjoy this little fast-read book for the holidays and may your holidays be just the way you tws envision.

The Cost of the 12 Days of Christmas BY ANN PARRY - MATH TUTOR
H
ow much would it cost to send your true love a partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens, four calling birds, five golden rings, six geese a-laying, seven swans a-swimming, eight maids a-milking, nine ladies dancing, ten lords a-leaping, eleven pipers piping and, finally, twelve drummers drumming? For the past three decades the economists at PNC Bank have documented the total cost of all the items sung about in the “The Twelve Days of Christmas.� Using this data, they calculate their version of a Christmas Price Index and an annual inflation rate based on this CPI. A price index is the cost for a given classification of goods or services. There are many price indexes: consumer price index, hotel price index, and even Christmas price index. Christmas price index is the price of goods purchased during the Christmas season. Just for the fun of it, the economists at PNC Bank determine a price index based on the Twelve Days of Christmas. With this data, the annual percent increase or inflation rate is then determined. This year the Christmas Price Index based on “The Twelve Days of Christmas� is $25,431.18, a 4.8 percent increase from 2011. Not too much of an increase when you consider, in 2003, the inflation rate was 16 percent. That year unemployment was low and the cost of gold was up, which could have contributed to a doubledigit increase in the Christmas Price Index. Not all years see a positive in-
COURTESY ART
flation rate. In 1995 the inflation (or, rather, deflation) rate based on “The Twelve Days of Christmas� was -21.7 percent. It is difficult to determine the cause. In 1995 the overall economy was strong and the cost of gold was steady. Could have been the dancing ladies and lords a-leaping. Those and the swans are always the most expensive items on the list. The cost of those items might have plummeted in 1995. When averaged over the last 30 years, though, the overall inflation rate based on “The Twelve Days of Christmas� is 2.9 percent. Interestingly, this rate is equivalent to the infla-
tion rates based on other price indexes such as the consumer price index. This rate indicates a healthy growing economy. If you cannot afford to send your true love all the items from the classical song “The Twelve Days of Christmas,â€? consider sending the items from the McKenzie Brothers’ version: a beer, two turtlenecks, three French toast, four pounds of back bacon, five golden tuques, sixpacks of two-fours, seven packs of smokes, eight comic books, ‌ they skipped the remaining four days. Sending your true love these items would only set you back $453.78. tws

The work in glass represents petroglyphs, in part with the lightning bolts, people and other images showing up as shadows on the opposite wall. The installation is part of The Center’s new exhibition, “Crossing Cultures: Ethnicity in Contemporary America,� which will be up through Feb. 23. Right: Hailey Elementary School art teacher Bob Dix explores his heritage through an enormous installation of drawings that cover the ceiling and wall of The Center’s project room.

Looking for Safety? Look to Annuities BY KATHLEEN HARRISON
T
hroughout recent years, Americans have been pulling their retirement savings out of stocks and stock mutual funds and putting them into places that they hope are safer. One beneficiary of this flight to safety has been bonds and bond mutual funds, but many people making this choice are probably unaware of a major risk they are taking. Interest rates right now are at historical lows. In October 2010, for example, the five-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate was barely above 1 percent. There is always the possibility that interest rates could remain at their current levels or fall lower, but clearly there is more room for them to move upwards rather than downwards. The issue facing you is that, if interest rates rise, the value of the bonds and bond mutual funds that you own will tend to fall. For example, if the Treasury rate was to rise to 4 percent, a new purchaser could get an interest rate of 4 percent on a new bond. To induce that person to purchase your bond that has an interest rate of only 1 percent, you would need to drop the price quite a bit. What we fear is that folks who have moved their money from stocks to bonds seeking safety may find that they have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. There are a wide variety of products that offer assurances of safety, such as savings accounts and money market accounts, but the problem with these financial products right now is that their interest rates are even more dismal, typically well below 1 percent. As a person looking to protect and grow their retirement savings, you may be wondering where to turn. Where can you find the safety you desire yet still earn a respectable interest rate? We suggest that you consider annuities. Fixed annuities offer interest rates that are set by insurance carriers, declared in advance,
December 12, 2012
and guaranteed for at least one year at a time. These annuities typically offer higher interest rates than you can find on other safe financial products. Fixed indexed annuities offer interest rates that are based upon potential future increases in a stock or bond market index, along with the guarantee that if the index declines, your principal is protected. These annuities offer the potential for even higher interest credits due to their index link. All fixed and fixed indexed annuities offer four very valuable layers of protection: 1. They are issued by insurance carriers that back the annuities with a pool of assets called “reserves� that are mandated and monitored by state insurance regulators. 2. These insurance carriers are obligated to use all of their general assets to protect annuity values from the effects of any adverse financial conditions. 3. These insurance carriers provide annuity owners with written, verifiable, contractual guarantees that the money you put into an annuity is protected from loss, other than perhaps a penalty for early withdrawal. 4. If you have any problem with your annuity carrier, you can contact your state’s insurance department, which has jurisdiction over the carrier. Thus, if you are looking for safety with better interest rates than you are finding elsewhere, consider annuities. This article is for general information purposes only.

Thanks to Blaine Co. from Korea By Si-Hyung Kim
I
am writing this to thank the kind people of Blaine County. My family and I are from South Korea. We came to Idaho Falls, where I am working for a year, last October. Unfortunately, we were in a car accident at the intersection of Highways 20 and 75 several weeks ago. After the accident, I could not open the car door but some citizens helped us. We sat down by the highway, my wife hugged our daughter and I held our son. A lot of very kind people began to gather. A man checked our condition. My daughter vomited twice and had pain in her back and neck. So, he took some measures to help her, and the rest of my family. He then arranged for an ambulance to take us to the hospital. He knew my family is poor at English, so he asked the rescue people to take us to one room in a hospital. This was a very good decision. I thought he was a doctor accidentally passing by. Regretfully, I did not thank him when we left in the ambulance. The accident was about 6:30 p.m., so the sunshine was still strong. A man and woman held a blanket to block the sunshine from us for a long time. That was a very helpful measure. I told them not to hold the blanket any longer but they kept saying, “It’s OK.” They also gave us comforting words. The ambulance workers checked my family’s condition and served us well, especially my two children. They gave dolls to our children. We arrived at St. Luke’s Hospital—we did not even know what city we were in. Doctors and nurses took very good care of my family. I was told my family had no severe problems but that we should stay near the hospital that night and watch one family member for symptoms of possible complications. The kind people who held the blanket came to the hospital to check our condition and invited our family to stay the night with them. I gladly welcomed that because I had no acquaintances nearby. They talked and waited with us at least three hours before taking us to their home at 1 a.m. When we arrived at their home, their two dogs, Sugar and Spicy, welcomed us. My daughter liked them. The two people arranged a room and served us hot tea. The next morning I found my condition was still not good and they took considerable time to make arrangements to get my family home to Idaho Falls the next day. The two kind people are Dick and Joanne Wetherell, who are the owners of RE/MAX of Sun Valley. I asked Joanne the name of the man who had helped us and she told me the man was the mayor of Ketchum, Randy Hall. My wife and I were so surprised! Also, with the kind help of our car insurance agent (Progressive, John Hendrix), I smoothly handled most of the matters related to this accident. I want to thank all who helped us, through this article. I know the United States helped our country so many times when we had difficulties in the past and the two countries have maintained very good relations up to now. I believe most Koreans, including me, still appreciate your country’s help. In this accident, my family and I personally received hospitality and help from many kind Americans. I will not forget them in our life. Once again, thanks to all the many people I met from this accident. tws

A Little Smile From Guapi BY TOM CRAIS, M.D., F.A.C.S.
T
his time of year always brings forth memories of “ growing up.” That formative time left me with a basic premise that, this time of year, which allows for reflection and gratitude, has as its cornerstone charity for others manifested by simple loving gestures, however small. With this in mind, I’d like to share, briefly, a story of simple giving which catalyzed a life beyond imagination. While traveling to Colombia just before Thanksgiving about twenty years ago, a chance meeting of medico and missionary brought Jose Bravo to our Andes clinic in Manizales, Colombia. Jose was born in a small river community of extreme deprivation with an even greater set of severe, life-threatening craniofacial (orbits, lips, palate, nose, skull bones) deformities impairing all normal facial functions and labeling him in the local village as “the devil child.” After preliminary lip repair surgery was completed, I immediately contacted longtime friend and renowned world-class expert in such deformities, Dr. Ian Jackson. Ian immediately agreed to come to New Orleans to begin the long road of multiple complex reconstructive procedures. About two months later, all
parties converged upon New Orleans. Soon after, Jose’s surgery was successfully completed. His orbits were moved from the side of his face toward the midline, his cranial bones were rearranged, and his palate was repaired. All went well until about ten days post-op, shortly before his intended return to Guapi. That fateful time brought on life-threatening meningitis (infection in the tissue covering the brain). Jose’s future was an unknown. Would he even live to return to Guapi? Or what was “the plan” for Jo (pronounced Ho)? Jim Besselman (long-lost high school football teammate) and his incredible wife, Pat, became Jo’s temporary surrogate parents. His planned two-week stay would now be indefinitely prolonged, or abruptly shortened by death. Jo survived a prolonged intensive hospital stay and multiple life-saving and reconstructive procedures. Pat and Jim, whose sixth and youngest child was completing high school, simultaneously began truly loving Jose and brought him into their extended family of eight, making it now nine, plus spouses and grandchildren. This eclectic loving family took Jose in and nurtured him for the ensuing twenty years, helping this little guy with
visual, auditory, speaking and learning challenges to find love in a family. Jo grew far beyond life’s prediction at onset in his stilted, stick, thatched-roof home on the banks of a contaminated river in Guapi, Colombia. Jo has grown to participate, despite his different and limited abilities. With the love and support of the entire Besselman family, Jose has learned to play the violin and drums. Over the last few years, Jose has enthusiastically played a variety of musical gigs in New Orleans. His greatest like is his role as a member of The Preservation Hall Junior Jazz Band. Last January, I reflected on the last twenty years and that mere chance meeting of Jose Bravo and I in that small mountain hospital. Never in my wildest dream could I have imagined that what I had said then might eventually be true. Way back then, in that rural mountain clinic, I took first glance of Jo in the arms of Colombian missionary Doris. I saw his severely deformed face. He turned with assertive enthusiasm toward me so that he could see me; he spontaneously gave me that little smile, impaired by his widely clefted lip. I glanced at the name on his chart, Jose Bravo, and I said, “With a name like that, Jose Bravo, you are going to be
Tom Crais, M.D., F.A.C.S.
someone.” Twenty years later, I would think of these words and feel profound joy and heartfelt nostalgia when I viewed that smiling little black face proudly playing his drum with The New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band on stage to a sell-out crowd at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Jose, Jim, Pat and I have been part of Operation Smile since then. Where will it lead us next? The gift of giving has no end, no boundary, no limit; it is like the Guapi River, which knows not who it will touch on its journey to the sea. tws

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, My wife and I recently found out we're going to be first-time grandparents. That was enough to make us finally clean out the spare room so our new arrival could come visit. In the process of cleaning, I came across an old desk that I inherited from my grandfather many years ago. Now I've watched enough episodes of Antique Road Show to know that it is either destined to be a great antique or just a pile of old firewood. I want to take out an ad and sell it to make room for our new grandson and his toys, but I don't know how to tell if this desk is valuable or not. Do I need to find an expert who can tell me or can I do it on my own? I need to figure this out soon because my wife is threatening to put it in the garage in place of my car.
• • • Cash: Sounds like time is running short, so pull up a chair and we'll figure this out. Carry: Determining whether or not a piece of furniture has value can be difficult. In many cases, a reputable dealer can be very helpful in appraising the desk for you. However, by first looking at the
Fast Facts Volley for Serve
Duane “Cash� Holze & Todd “Carry� Holze 12/09/12 ŠThe Classified GuysŽ
furniture's construction, you can quickly evaluate if it is worth calling one. Cash: You first want to determine if the desk was handmade or machine cut. Handmade desks tend to be much more valuable. Carry: Look for a manufacturer's name or builder's signature on the underside of the desk or any drawers. Any markings or information that you can find will help you track down it's origin and potential value. Cash: You can also evaluate the construction of the desk, giving particular attention to the joints. A handmade desk will typically have dovetail joints that are very wide and uneven. Having made them by hand, most crafts-
men wanted to make as few as possible. You can also look at any spindles or slats to see if there is any variation in their construction that would indicate they were made by hand. Carry: Machine cut furniture came around 1860, so you can imagine that a handmade desk may be quite old. If you determine the desk is handmade, then consider calling a reputable antique dealer to appraise it further. Cash: Although regardless of its value, maybe it's something you want to incorporate into the playroom since it is a family heirloom. After all, your new grandson will need a place to color with his crayons.
There's no doubt that furniture can be expensive, but imagine paying over 36 million dollars for a single piece. That is the current record for the most expensive non-pictorial work of art ever sold at auction. With the tap of a gavel at a London Christie's auction in 2004, a badminton cabinet, built around 1720, broke it's previous sales record of 15 million dollars. Made by the Henry Somerset, third Duke of Beaufort, the cabinet is considered more a work of art than a piece of furniture. Today it is on display at the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna.
Sitting in Style
When it comes to furniture, many of us have our favorite chair in the house and most of us recognize the brand name La-Z-Boy. Designers of the first reclining chair, Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker created their invention in the late 1920's. Originally designed as a wooden slatted chair, they began covering it with upholstery at the request of their customers. However, the final name for their invention was the result of a contest. Although entries like "The Sit and Snooze" and "The Slack Back" made the list, "La-Z-Boy" ultimately won out.
Reader Humor Speed Limit
Like many boys his age, my six-year-old son forgets to use the bathroom during the night and occasionally wets the bed. Hoping to motivate him to get up, my husband and I bought him one of those beds molded like a racecar. He was so excited when we brought it home that he even went to bed early. The first few nights he was good about getting up and using the bathroom. However, then one night he forgot again. When I noticed it in the morning, I asked him, "Why is your bed all wet?" Obviously still excited about his racecar bed, he innocently replied, "I don't know, Mommy. Maybe I drove through a puddle." (Thanks to Sally P.)
