A few good books

ike many in the Valley, I belong to a book club, now heading into our thirteenth year. The club has greatly by: JIMA expanded my Rice, Ph.D. reading horizons. Fiction is not my gig but I have taken on Olive Kittredge and Lolita, among others. After all, our dinners and discussion are spectacular! When I’m the “book-picker,â€? however, the club gets edgy. My taste tends to nonfiction outside most peoples’ interests. With this full disclosure, below are some books I suggest to others interested in good reads about money and economics. 1. Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken. Hawken is an environmentalist and writer who describes a “movementâ€? for sustainability and social justice that is worldwide, inchoate, and under-the-radar. The book has been called â€œâ€Śa description of humanity’s collective genius and an unstoppable movement to reimagine our relationship to the environment and one another.â€? Hawken provides a short, fast-moving trip across the movement – reinforcing points with a wide range of fascinating information. 2. Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson.

Take the tools in hand and carve your own best life.

a sun valley christmas...............................................................................................from pg 1 unveil its 1,500-pound 10-foot tall Quad Wall, which is 25 by 10-feet wide, on its year-old Dollar Mountain Terrain Park. The wall, one of 25 or 26 new features Sun Valley built for its terrain park this year, is probably one of the biggest walls you’ll find in any ski resort in North America, said Sun Valley marketing assistant Mike Fitzpatrick. “It’s a big playground in and of itself,” he added. Sun Valley’s Funny Man Mike Murphy, who has been delivering laughs in The Boiler Room for 30-plus years, will try out his newest jokes at 7:30 p.m. in The Boiler Room in Sun Valley Village following the rail exhibition. He’ll present a second free show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and yet another at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Saturday Sun Valley is asking skiers and boarders to dig out their vintage ski wear for a Vintage Ski Party and Contest at 2 p.m. on the River Run Plaza. There’ll be prizes for the best outfits from each decade from the 1930s when Sun Valley opened as the nation’s first destination ski resort to now. First Lady Lori Otter will sign copies of her children’s book, “Little Clyde: Horsing Around in Sun Valley,” from 3 to 5 in the Sun Valley Inn. Hot chocolate and cookies will be served. The annual Tree Lighting will follow at 5 p.m. outside the Sun Valley Inn. The walkways around Sun Valley will be lined with ice carvings made by Danny Spangler of Ice is Nice. The Sun Valley Carolers, who have been caroling for more than 30 years, will lead off the celebration. There’ll be free cocoa and cookies. And Santa will come dashing in via-horse-

drawn sleigh. Tuesday A star-studded cast of Olympians will skate two holiday numbers each in Sun Valley’s Silver and Gold Ice Show designed to celebrate Sun Valley’s 75th anniversary season. The show, which starts at 6 p.m., will feature Olympic Gold Medalists Brian Boitano and Evan Lysacek, Olympic Silver Medalist Sasha Cohen, United States Silver Medalist Ryan Bradley and Nathan Chen, the child prodigy who was yet 10 last year when he won the 2010 U.S. Gold Medal in the novice division. There are some $45 tickets left. But the $75 ones which include a cocktail reception with the skaters following the show are nearly gone. Tickets are available by calling 208-6222135 or going to seats.sunvalley. com A 75th Winter Season Celebration Gourmet Dinner will be served from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in the Lodge Dining Room. It will feature an a la carte menu that includes entrée specials from Sun Valley’s opening night in 1936. Call 208-622-2800 for reservations. Thursday, Dec. 23 The third annual Classical Christmas Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House. It will feature two 35- to 45-minute sets and will include complementary coffee, cocoa, tea and truffles. Directed and arranged by R.L. Rowsey, it will feature Tenor John Mauldin, Soprano Leslie Mauldin and Soprano Celena Shafer, a Utah opera singer who has performed throughout the nation and abroad. This year’s concert will also feature Paul Tillotson, a New York jazz pianist who came to

Sun Valley for two weeks 12 years ago, and extended his stay every year until he decided he loved Sun Valley too much to leave. There will also be a trio of children who will sing “I Wonder as I Wander” with the two professional sopranos. And there will be an appearance by the Sun Valley Carolers. The Hatvani Chamber Ensemble of Boise will accompany the singers. Tickets are $35, available at 208-622-2135. Saturday, Dec. 24 Sun Valley will roll out the free cocoa and cookies once again beginning at 5 p.m. on the Lodge Terrace for the free performance of “Nutcracker on Ice” that it offers to the community every Christmas. The Sun Valley Carolers will sing a few numbers preceding the show. Fireworks and a torchlight parade down Dollar Mountain will follow. Santa will take in the festivities and there will be free ice skating following the show. This year there also will be in a Christmas Eve Dinner Buffet from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Sun Valley Club on the site of the golf course. Call 208-622-2800 for reservations. Sunday, Dec. 26 The Christmas Week will end with a performance of the comedy musical “Forever Plaid” at 7:30 p.m. in the Boiler Room. The musical, full of gags and laughs, revolves around four nerds who are given the opportunity to return to earth to perform the concert they never had the chance to do after being killed in a collision with a bus full of nuns. The songs include such 1950s favorites as “Three Coins in the Fountain” and even a little bit of The Beatles. Tickets are $10 at the door. twp

Lights for hunger By KAREN BOSSICK

L

ight up a paper bag and feed two mouths. That’s the theory behind the Lights for Food luminary celebration that will take place on Sunday. Lee Dabney and some of her neighbors are selling luminaries for a dollar each and donating the proceeds to The Hunger Coalition. Lee started the tradition six years ago in her neighborhood of Northridge. She hopes that one day every neighborhood in the Wood River Valley will be lined with the luminaries. “It’s my understanding that luminaries are a Mexican tradition—a way of lighting the way to church on Christmas Eve. My sister’s neighborhood did it in New York State and I saw how pretty it was. I thought, with our community being the type it is, people might want to do this and use it to raise some funds for a good cause.” Dabney went door to door in her neighborhood the first year, her baby boy in her backpack. She sold a thousand luminaries the first year. She sold more than 7,500 last year, netting about $6,200 for The Hunger Coalition. She’d like to sell at least 8,000 this year. Residents of several neighborhoods, including Northridge, Deerfield, Della View, Old Hailey, Curtis, Foxmoor, Woodside, Northstar and Buttercup, set their luminaries out along the curb at dusk last year. And this year one of Dabney’s Ketchum friends has offered to take the

Kate Stone eyeballs one of the luminaries that her family set out last year. Lighting the luminaries is a great project to do with kids, said Lee Dabney. “My kids get it—they understand that it’s a fun thing to do but that it also helps people who don’t have enough to eat.” COURTESY PHOTO

project to her neighbors in the Warm Springs area. Sage School students are counting out orders and helping with the selling and deliveries. “Most homeowners purchase about 20 so; at a dollar a bag, that’s $20,” Dabney said. “According to Jeannie Liston with The Hunger Coalition, one meal costs 50 cents. We can purchase 14,762 pounds of food for $6,200. That equates to 12,400 meals that will feed 35 families of four three meals a day for one month.” For more information or to order luminaries, call Dabney at 578-0861. twp

Laughter is the best medicine By KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s hard to scowl in Carrie Mellen’s yoga class. After all, you can’t do laughing exercises with a frown on your face. And laughter is the key ingredient in Laughter Yoga. That’s why you may see a bunch of locals bowed over, waving their arms as if they were elephant trunks, flitting from one corner of the room to another like birds, clucking like chickens and—of course—laughing hysterically. “I truly believe everyone can use more laughter in their lives, especially in these times,� said Mellen. “The old saying, ‘Laughter is the best medicine’ is a scientifically proven fact. It immediately lightens your mood and it’s contagious.� Mellen, a certified Laughter Yoga instructor, recently began offering Laughter Yoga sessions from 12:15 to 1 p.m. Mondays at the All Things Sacred Gallery in The Galleria at Fourth Street and Leadville Avenue in Ketchum. She also will introduce Laughter Yoga from 12:15 to 1 p.m. this coming Tuesday, Dec. 28 and Jan. 4 at St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center in Ketchum. The sessions are free, although donations are welcome. Among her faithful attendees are Lyn Stallard and Terry Tischer who recently joined Mellen and newcomer Maura Cannon in a session. Over the course of 45 minutes, they turned into six-year-olds with grins as wide as watermelons. “We’re going to get in touch with our childlike playfulness. That’s what it’s all about,� Mellen told the women. “Close your eyes, relax, take a deep breath. Today, we’re dedicating this practice to an attitude with gratitude, being thankful for the abundance around us.� The women started off clapping in rhythm, laughing “Ho ho, ha, ha, ha�

as they clapped. Bending over, they let their fingers reach toward the floor. Straightening, they reach up to the ceiling, laughing heartily as they begin walking around in circles. Laughter Yoga was popularized by Dr. Madan Kataria, a Mumbai, India, physician who launched the first Laughter Club in 1995 and wrote about the practice in his book, “Laugh For No Reason.� Today, the practice, which combines self-triggered laughter with the traditional deep-diaphragm breathing of yoga, encompasses more than 6,000 Laughter Clubs in 60 countries. Laughter Yoga is based on the idea that the body can’t differentiate between fake and real laughter, Mellen told the group. The sound of roaring laughter is more contagious than any cough or sneeze, Mellen said. Ten minutes of hearty laughter are purported to release a joy cocktail of hormones and other stimulants that could reduce the risk of cardiac and other stressrelated diseases. Clinical research conducted at the

University of Graz in Austria and other sites purport that it lowers the level of stress hormones in the blood, lowering blood pressure. Swedish Cancer Hospital in Chicago uses Laughter Yoga to help patients cope with chemotherapy. The workout also exercises muscles in the stomach, abs and back, said Mellen. The women resumed their play, roaring like lions. “You know what?� Mellen asked as she began marching around the room, “there’s a parade today. Lyn, you do the drums. Terry, you do the trombone. Maura, you take the trumpet.� “Now, let’s take a walk in the park,� she said, switching gears. “Walk the dog. Pick up that poop. Oh my goodness, we just stepped in some.� The women broke out in giggles as each adopted preposterous poses trying to avoid the imaginary brown blobs. “I had no idea what I was getting myself into—whether it would be jokes or what,� said Cannon. “But I love it. It’s new. It’s different. And it makes you laugh.� As the session wound down, Mellen began leading the women through deep breathing exercises. Tischer confessed she tried to sneak out of the breathing exercises the first time but has found them invaluable. “I never do yoga. I ride my horse for centering. But I’ve found this real calming because it taught me to go beyond the shallow breathing,� she said. “I’ll start the day all tense and I come in here and I run around loose the rest of the day. It’s an easy way to let off stress without going hardcore.� Stallard has practiced yoga for years but recently found herself sidelined by a knee replacement. Laughter Yoga complements her other yoga. “Everybody looks so silly, you can’t help but laugh,� she said. “And it can be done by anyone—from kids to seniors who aren’t capable of other types of exercise.� twp

ahead.............................................. from pg 1 discovery of his passion to build schools for girls in Afghanistan. The guy is amazing – a lost K-2 mountaineer and disingenuous klutz who accomplishes remarkable feats in impossible places with absolutely no intention of doing so – and captures peoples’ hearts everywhere. One of the book’s lessons? That small, personalized, grassroots financial investments that match community needs can make a huge difference. 3. The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson. Ferguson is a history professor who writes easily about the role finance and money have played in human history. His goal is to educate us so we can become more involved. At the book’s end, Ferguson describes financial history in terms of evolutionary biology and, somewhat pessimistically, asks, “Are we on the brink of a ‘great dying’ in the financial world – one of those mass extinctions‌ that occur periodically?â€? – or can knowledge tilt us back in the right direction? 4. The Big Short by Michael Lewis. Lewis, a great storyteller, profiles some Wall Street players who made it big when the housing bubble burst. These few men saw what was happening, were incredulous, solidified their conclusions with research, told others who ignored or laughed at them, shorted the market, grew increasingly cynical, shorted even more and, ultimately, came out on top. The book is about guys who announced “the emperor has no clothesâ€? to a court that remained arrogant navel-gazers. 5. 13 Bankers by Simon Johnson and James Kwak. The book portrays the U.S. as an oligarchy responding to a wealthy financial elite that pursues its own self-interest. As one reviewer puts it, “(this is) the best explanation yet for how the smart guys on Wall Street led us to the brink of collapse...(T)he book demystifies our financial system (and) exposes the ruthless power grab that lies at its center‌ explaining how Wall Street captured Washington and how it tenaciously hangs on to that power.â€? Better than a soap opera! 6. The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria. Zakaria, Indian-American journalist and author, highlights the extensive worldwide changes with which the U.S. must contend, as well as the special strengths that he believes will keep us in the global forefront for some time to come. He is realistic, calming, practical, and encouraging. At the same time, he emphasizes the increasing global diffusion of power and our country’s need to recognize and respond to it‌ as a partner, not as commander-in-chief. Finally, I must add Winner-Take-All Politics by Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson. I’m still in the middle of this great read whose subtitle explains: How Washington Made the Rich Richer - and Turned its Back on the Middle Class. This one will get you thinking about specific ways to change the system, and that’s a good twp thing!

ow did we get into the financial mess that we find ourselves in today? How did the average American lose his home and future in the blink of an eye in 2008? To date, 30 million people worldwide have lost everything and the debt levels have reached 2 trillion. In the new documentary, Inside Job, a cogent analysis is attempted and righteous indignation is elicited. The answer, of course, is greed, and the indignation finds its focus in the fact that the guilty parties have not been brought to justice and have instead been rewarded handsomely for their crimes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone who is trying to help you may hurt you in the process. Healing is like this. We go to the dentist and withstand the pain of a filling in order to avoid the even worse pain that would come from losing the whole tooth. You’ll bear a degree of discomfort and be happy and healthy because you did. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be particularly quick on the uptake this week, especially verbally, and this will impress people and make them laugh - sometimes at the same time. But this speedy timing comes at a price. You are not always in control of what rolls off your tongue, and once it’s out, you can’t take it back. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will dream of something long before you have the means or the ability to make it happen. Believe in those dreams, and don’t let anyone tell you what is possible or impossible. That determination will always be a relative one, and therefore, no person can accurately assess it for another person. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s difficult to accept that you don’t always know what is in your best interest.

Though you are one of the better judges in the matter, there is still too much that is not in your control. You simply can’t know everything! The best you can do is trust that things are working in your favor, and then act and react in kind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may gain control of a situation for the moment, but you’ll find that this control is elusive. And needing to have it all the time will only make you miserable, since that just isn’t possible. When you realize that wanting control leads to suffering, you will wisely go the opposite way, improvising with the hand that you’re dealt. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can choose your reaction to life’s events, though sometimes it doesn’t feel that way at all. There are moments when you feel so compelled to behave in a certain way that it seems as though you don’t have a choice. Try to stay calm. It’s simply easier to see your choices when you’re in a peaceful state of mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are benevolent spirits in the world. You don’t always encounter them when

Fools play script writers

Catch “Moonlight and Magnolias� at 7 p.m., both tonight and Thursday, or see it on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

you want them, so it’s a good idea to get in touch with your higher self. Once you make this connection, you will depend less on the advice of wellmeaning mentors, teachers, parents and leaders, who sometimes fall down on the job. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have patient people around you. Someone in particular has been a real gem lately -- there for your every need and the service comes with a smile. Cherish this person, and do not take him or her for granted. You should also keep in mind that the patient people are also the most prone to random fury. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Here’s a difficult tactic to stick to: Refuse to accept anything but the best. You will be challenged to the point that you will wonder if you are crazy for wanting what you want. You’re not. It is possible. Stick to the tactic. Hold out for your preference, and you will get it by the end of the week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some people find it easy to ask for what they want. Others make a hobby of it. Then there are those, like you, who would rather do every single little thing themselves than ask for the smallest bit of help. You should really break yourself of that habit. Now is as good a time as ever. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wouldn’t want to hire a mean coach or sign up for a task that’s completely out of your league -- but in some ways that’s just what you’ve done. Leave it to you to make this kind of difficult/ brilliant move. It’s amazing how productive you can be when you don’t think there’s any other choice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Creative people allow themselves to make mistakes, and this week you’re about as creative as they come. It’s not necessary or possible to make every move in good taste. In fact, that would only make you a boring person. If you mess up, chalk it up to your inherent need to keep things lively and entertaining. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Your positive outlook is absolutely contagious. You win the critics and make the cynics change their tune. You’ll make new friends in the next 10 weeks, some of whom you’ll have for life. February brings a breakthrough in business. Good publicity will be the key, and you’ll please those who hold the purse strings, too. May brings a romantic getaway. Family must work together for the common good in June. You’ll be healed in August. Old emotional baggage is dropped for good.

The historic by: Karen Roundhouse Bossick Restaurant opened for dinner Friday evening, offering a dining experience 7,700 feet high. “The food is fabulous. The nighttime views are fantastic,” said Sun Valley area resident Martine Drackett as she savored a braided puff pastry salmon fillet with sauce beurre rouge. “And where else can you go to Jim Cimino, who will turn 91 years old, rode a snowmobile to the porch of the dinner on a gondola?” Roundhouse after getting off the gondola, rather than taking the stairs.

scene in the valley

the meal, at a quarter ‘til six. Pine trees and building tops lit with Christmas lights lined snow-covered streets of Ketchum that glowed white in the reflection of car lights. Halfway up the mountain, the lights of Elkhorn came into view, as did a snow groomer cruising down the Hershey Highway from Lower College onto Lower River Run. When it’s snowing, the lights take on a blue-green glow. At the top, diners were greeted by a ski patrolman, along with a gondola valet who pointed them towards a heated snow-free stairway leading to the restaurant. There, Wally Huffman, who was general manager of Sun Valley at the time the resort embarked on the project, gazed around the restaurant with the look of a first-time papa gazing upon his newborn baby. “We’ve been waiting a long time to do this,” said Huffman, whose first job at Sun Valley in 1974 was building Averell’s and

the outside deck. Huffman’s wife Lauren, an interior decorator who has decorated many of Sun Valley’s lodges, added her touch to the nighttime elegance with custom snowflakes, privacy screens, chandeliers and more. Doug Horn, Sun Valley’s restaurant manager, said the meals took a lot of thought because all the ingredients have to be ferried to the restaurant by snow groomer. “The food there is different from the food you’ll get at the Lodge or the Ram,” he said. “Even the fondue—that Roundhouse Chef Don Wise prepares is different from the fondue that Steve Ludwig prepares down in the village. Our chefs like different flavors and we want that to come out.” Though rustic, it offers a touch of nostalgia that Sun Valley’s other lodges cannot offer. Hundreds of Hollywood stars and others attended moonlight

parties there during the 1940s, skiing to the bottom or riding chairlifts down if they’d had too much to imbibe. The restaurant was featured in the 1941 movie “Sun Valley Serenade” and legendary skiers like Stein Ericksen and Jean Claude Killy once raced slalom gates below it as spectators watched from the deck. Among those who showed up to sample its new evening fare this past week was 91-year-old Ketchum resident Jim Cimino who first began coming to Sun Valley in 1946 and first ate at the Roundhouse in the early 1950s. Former Sun Valley Mayor JoAnn Levy recalled marrying a couple in the Roundhouse before the party proceeded to Seattle Ridge via snow groomer. Then the groom and bride, dressed in a white Bogner jump suit, parasailed off the mountain. “The Roundhouse is one of my favorite places,” she said. “It’s classic. It’s legendary.” twp

A concert full of soul Terrain Park in exhibition spotlight By KAREN BOSSICK

P

atty Parsons Tewson wanted to celebrate Christmas with a rollicking gospel choir like the one she sang in while living in Fairbanks, Alaska. But what could she do, considering the population of Sun Valley is as white as the snow that’s piled up since Thanksgiving? You might have guessed it: She’s having a Vanilla Soul Christmas. Tewson’s new 60-voice Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus will present a Vanilla Soul Christmas at 7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The choir will feature opera Tenor Austin Amaya, a graduate of Wood River High School, and boy soprano Elliott Portillo. It will be accompanied by keyboards, drums, bass and guitar featuring Cliff Cunha and Bill and Paul Smith of the Boulder Brothers. The choir will sing familiar and not-so familiar selections, including Michael O. Jackson’s “Hallelujah,� a jazzed-up version of the “Hallelujah Chorus� from a number called “A Soulful Celebration.� It will sing “Amen,� “You Raise Me Up,� “The Prayer,� John Williams’ “Somewhere in My Memory� and Carol Cymbala’s “It’s Christmas.� It will also sing Tommy Walker’s “I Believe in You,� “Oh Holy Night,� Richard Smallwood’s “Total Praise,� “That Little Baby� and “Carol Medley.� Soloists are Diane Shay, George Kirk, Cintia Scola, Amy Stoll, Evelyn Lee, Deb Bouiss, Janis Walton, Patty Parsons and Holly Hatch. Tewson directed “The Promise� Christmas music program for the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood for 20 years until she married and moved to Alaska. There, she said, she

sang in a 100-voice gospel choir that changed her life. “The music is so beautiful, so deep, so uplifting, so goosepimply,� said Tewson, whose family recently relocated to Sun Valley. “It’s pure adoration. In fact, there have been times when the music is so powerful that I wasn’t even able to sing because it touched me so deeply. I decided that this is the kind of music I want to do for the rest of my life. It gives so much faith and hope.� The only hitch: the Fairbanks’ choir boasted at least 25 black singers so it really rocked, she said. “I saw one African-American at Atkinson’s and promptly accosted him and asked if he could sing. But I haven’t seen him since,� she said. “There’s something about the structure of African-Americans that allows them a power in music that’s hard to duplicate. But we’re going to try.� The Christmas concert is just the beginning for the new choir, Parsons said. She is already contemplating a concert celebrating Black History Month in February. It would include old Negro spirituals interspersed with narration about the music slaves imported from Africa and Indonesia. “They talked about death as a graduation—that their trials would be over and they’d have a better life some day,� she said. “The music they sang was really powerful.� twp

Sun Valley hired Snow Park Technologies, which designs terrain for ESPN’s Winter X-Games and the Vans Triple Crown of Snowboarding, to build its park.

briefs Beloved Buddhas

Give the perfect gift, to the Earth, that is!

D

id you know that in the U.S. an additional million tons of household waste is generated between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day? That’s a 25 percent spike in waste! This year, give a gift to Mother Earth by going green. Almost one-third of the waste generated in the U.S. is from packaging. Look for recycled or recyclable paper goods (old newspapers and fabrics work well as wrapping paper). Send an electronic card; if every American sent one less card, we’d save 50,000 cubic yards of paper! Don’t throw away unwanted gifts; re-gift them or donate them to organizations like The Gold Mine, Barkin’ Basement or The Advocate’s Attic. Buy pesticide-free trees and trim them with energy-slashing LED lights. Each year 50 million Christmas trees are purchased, 30 million of which are trashed.

Recycle your tree or, better yet, plant it in your backyard! Make your Christmas dinner with seasonal, local ingredients—buy an organic turkey. Serve local and organic wines and beer. Use reusable dishes and biodegradable products that are compostable. Buy fewer gifts. According to a national survey, 70 percent of Americans would welcome less emphasis on gift-giving and spending. Make a donation to an environmental charity/nonprofit/project in a loved one’s name. Remember, the holidays are not about gifts, but about celebrating with family and friends and appreciating the blessings in life, including those gifts the Earth provides us with every day. Happy Holidays from the ERC! Got a question, contact the ERC at 726-4333. twp

Are you still looking for a gift for your loved one for the holidays and can’t find the perfect one? Come to Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum and purchase a Buddha for your Beloved on Wednesday, December 22nd from 5:30-8pm. A donation of $200 buys a Buddha, which will stay in the Garden of 1000 Buddhas, located in Arlee, Montana, along with the other 999 Buddhas and 1000 Stupas already being sponsored. Special consecrated items are being placed inside each Buddha along with a permanent plaque with your beloved’s name attached to the base. You might want to make a dedication in memory of a family member or special animal friend. The plaque will remain as a dedication of your commitment to a peaceful and compassionate world now and in the future. There will be a short film about this International Peace Garden Project. When the Garden is completed, His Holiness the Dalai Lama will come to consecrate it. This is an opportunity to give a gift of love and generosity simultaneously. Champagne will be served and the Chapter One beverage bar will be serving eggnog, authentic Indian chai, hot chocolate, coffee, teas, apple cider and wine. Nourish Me, the health food café has generously provided an appetizer. For more details, contact Mary Ann at 720-5138.

Members of the SV5B Swim Team donned aprons rather than swim suits recently to bake pies for their upcoming Holiday Pie Auction. In back: Lena Friesen, Elizabeth Fry, Kaedi Fry and Kailey Wilt. In front: Jack Seiller, Colby Werley and Kelsey Syms. Photo: Heather Black.

Pies benefit swim team By KAREN BOSSICK

orget the cake walk. Or the cake swim, for that matter. The SV5B Swim Team is auctioning off holiday pies on Wednesday, Dec. 22, to raise money for the non-profit swim team. The team is collecting more than 60 pies prepared by local celebrities, sports personalities, restaurants, churches, caterers and families of the swimmers. Some will be served in disposable tin pans. Swim team members are serving others up in handmade ceramic pie plates, shrink wrap and ribbons. The pies will be auctioned off in a Pie Sale and Silent Auction from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 22, in the Lower Level of Giacobbi Square. A Live Auction for the super-deluxe, one-of-akind pies will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. The donors’ names will be on the pies. Rebecca Rusch, the nation’s top mountain bike racer, has stepped out of her clip-on pedals long enough to bake a pie. Pendl’s Bakery, which used to tantalize Sun Valley residents’ senses with its European pastries in Ketchum, is sending a linzer torte over from Driggs. Penelope’s is contributing a lemon meringue pie and The Pioneer Saloon has promised a marionberry specialty. Others contributing pumpkin chiffon and other varieties include Galena Lodge, Rasberrys’ and Cristina’s. “The presentations are surprisingly creative,” said organizer Heidi Watanabe, whose daughter Kailey joined the team after seeing how much fun her

cousin Taylor Straley was having on the team. The SV5B Swim Team was started by coach Brian Gallagher as a 501 C team in 1995. The kids swim laps five days a week during winter from school’s end to 8 each night at the Wood River Community YMCA. They practice at the Elkhorn pool during summer. Though small, at 27 swimmers, they’ve made waves, taking first place in Division Three competition last month. The Wood River High School swim team, which features 19 of the 27 youngsters, won first place in the state for five years in a row as competition grew to 500 swimmers from 60 schools. “Brian has a knack for bringing out the best in these kids,” said Melissa Fry, whose daughters Elizabeth and Kaedi are on the swim team. “He swims every lap with these kids during practice, so he’s not asking them to do anything he wouldn’t do. And from the water, he can correct mistakes a lot quicker than if he were standing at the side of the pool.” Money raised from the sales of the pies will go to offset travel expenses to a three-day winter meet in Nampa and regional competition in Washington twp State.

A call for pies

You say you thrill to flour on your hands and an apron clinched around your midsection? You have a talent when it comes to brandishing a rolling pin? Feel free to donate one or two of your pies to the SV5B Pie Auction. And then pick up someone else’s creation at the auction. To help, call Heidi Watanabe at 208-309-1999.

Scouts paint backdrop

O

n a recent Thursday night, members of Cub Scout Pack 87 gathered to paint murals for the walls of the gymnasium at the Hailey Armory. Nearly 20 scouts painted holiday scenes onto long sheets of paper, while the dads hung them up to make the room more festive for the recipients of the SBR Holiday Gift Basket Program. Moms mixed paint and ordered pizza for the hungry young artists. When all was finished, every wall featured colorful depictions of snowmen, stockings, Christmas trees, and even a jet-powered sleigh. The scouts and their families enjoyed being a part of the massive Holiday Gift Basket Program. “We were all just amazed at the number of food and gift bags prepared for people in need in our community. It made us want to help with the program every year,” said Wendy Barckholtz, one of the den leaders in the pack.

Here’s my idea of economic stimulus: Get discounts up to

In fact, the pack did get to help with the program in another way. When Julie Carney, another den leader with the pack, discovered she had collected more money than she needed for the pizza, she asked pack members if she should refund the money or if they wanted to pitch in a little more and adopta-kid through the Gift Basket Program. It was unanimous and the scouts and parents were very excited to participate in brightening the Christmas of a young girl or boy. “I think it was one of the most successful community service projects we’ve done,” said Barckholtz. “The kids worked hard, had a great time, and most importantly, LOVED helping out with such a large-scale community project. It was a fun family event in the true spirit of Christmas - giving to others, as God first gave to us.” Thank you so much! twp

Mountain Rides ribbon cutting Mountain Rides Transportation Authority invites the public to a ribbon cutting to see two of the four new buses that just arrived in November, as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Mountain Rides staff and Board of Directors will have available and open, one of the 31’ and one of the 36’ buses at 5th and Leadville in Ketchum on Wednesday, Dec. 15 from 2 to 2:30 p.m. The ribbon cutting will take place at 2:15 p.m. These sleek new, low-floor buses from IC Bus with 2010 clean emissions are already running in the Mountain

Rides’ system and have replaced two of the older Valley Route buses, one bus for Town routes throughout Sun Valley and Ketchum and one bus for the Hailey Circulator route. These buses were ordered through DATTCO in New Britain, CT and Rush Truck Center in Boise, ID. The ARRA grant received by Mountain Rides to purchase these new buses totaled nearly $860,000. “This was such a great opportunity to enhance our fleet of buses with cleaner, more efficient buses, while offering a high quality experience for our riders,” said Mountain Rides’ Executive Director, Jason Miller.

briefs Keynote speaker named for the Wellness Festival

Best-selling author Gregg Braden will be delivering the keynote speech to kick off the 2011 Sun Valley Wellness Festival over Memorial Day weekend, organizers announced today. Mr. Braden suggests that many of the hottest issues at the core of our great social divisions—seemingly separate issues Gregg Braden such as abortion, suicide, right-to-die and the death penalty, war, terror, genocide, poverty, abuse, economic collapse and nuclear proliferation are actually related. They all stem from the false assumptions of science that have compromised our core human values. Through a powerful synthesis of easy-to understand science and the wisdom traditions of the past, Braden will explore deep truths at the root of humankind’s greatest threats. Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. For more than 25 years Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. His work is now featured on the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Sci Fi Channel and NBC. To date, Gregg’s discoveries have led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and his newest, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age, which reached #5 on the New York Times bestseller list 2 weeks after its release. Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970s energy crisis, he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer with Martin Marietta Defense Systems during the last years of the Cold War. In 1991 he became The First Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems where he led the development of the global support team that insures the reliability of today’s internet. Today Gregg’s work is published in 17 languages and 33 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

Avoid these 3 mistakes when setting resolutions By JESSICA KISIEL

P

olls show that one-quarter of people who set New Year’s resolutions drop their efforts by the end of the first week. This figure rises to a third by the end of the first month, and is over half at the conclusion of six months. Not very promising statistics, especially since many resolutions are set to improve health. Losing weight tops the list as the most common resolution almost every year. As a wellness coach, I work with clients to make positive lifestyle and behavior changes through progressive goals that bring them closer to living their personal vision of optimal wellness. Many of the mistakes my clients make in executing their goals are the same ones people make with New Year’s resolutions. Mistake 1: Focusing Only

theweeklypaperTOO • SEC.2/PG5

on the Outcome Weight loss is an outcome, a result. Setting a resolution to lose weight only states what you want and gives no information on how to achieve it. Outcomes need to be supported by actions. Resolutions for exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress are needed to support an outcome of less pounds. Mistake 2: Unclear Motivation Why are you setting this resolution? Does it feel like a “should”? Do you feel obligated because someone told you to or it seems like the right thing to do? Or is this desire coming from within you, and it is something you really “want”? Changes driven by internal motivation, a “want”, are much more likely to succeed than those placed upon us from external sources, a “should”. Mistake 3: No Accountability

It’s often easier to let ourselves and our priorities slide than the commitments we make to others. Consequently, when we try to break bad habits alone, we are more likely to give up when things get difficult. Having support is critical for achieving your resolutions. Tell people what you are doing, write it down and track your progress or find a buddy or group to keep you on track. These are three of the mistakes introduced in a teleclass, 7 Mistakes to Avoid When Setting Your New Year’s Resolutions.

Isbin’s strumming stuns By KAREN BOSSICK

S

haron Isbin’s fingers looked like any others—until she touched them to the strings of her acoustic guitar. They became a blur as they gravitated back and forth between a hot flamenco evoking thoughts of a bullfight and the delicate maneuvers of someone picking out a melody on a piano. Isbin, wearing black leather pants and dazzling silver earrings under her thick dark curly hair, played as if she was in a trance. And the audience at the

Church of the Big Wood was entranced with her. “You are such a wonderful attentive audience,� she told those who had ventured out on a snowy night. “This is a very healthy place to play.� An hour earlier, Dick Brown’s Anam Cara choir had served as an appetizer, blending together two dozen voices in a magnificent a capella version of “Silent Night.� Isbin continued the magic, kicking off the second Sun Valley Artist Series in grand style as she set one foot on a golden

foot rest while settling herself and her guitar into a throne-like chair. “So delicate—like a feather,� murmured one audience member as she munched on sushi and other hors d’oeuvres following the concert. The five-part Sun Valley Artist Series will continue on Jan. 8 with concert pianist Susan Spelius Dunning in what promises to be another display of ferocious dexterous finger work.

the money set aside be used to pay off the card. If you don’t, you’ll hurt your credit and negate the benefits of opening the credit card in the first place!) Apply for a car loan. If you want to build a better credit history, having an installment loan on your credit history will help you faster. Even if your car is paid off, try to get a loan against the car. You may not be able to get a large loan, but any installment loan will help. You can use the proceeds from the loan to pay it off in six months if you want. In the mean time, however, you’ll have the benefit of a loan payment on your credit history. Allow yourself time to build credit. New credit on an otherwise blank credit report takes about six months to register credit scores. You must pay all your debts on time each month for this to help. The more credit you build, the more credit you will be able to obtain. Building credit means being responsible with the money you borrow. Implement one (or all) of these suggestions and you’ll be well on your way to establishing a good credit history. The most important thing is to start building your credit now, so you will be able to buy a home when you’re ready. twp

SEC.2/PG10 • theweeklypaperTOO

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I read your column every week so I'm thinking you are the guys to help me answer this question: What is it with men and power equipment? I know what it’s like to have a shopping habit, but my husband has his nose in the classifieds every Sunday dreaming of a new tractor, leaf blower or snow blower. We got a dusting of snow the other day and he's ready to buy a 10hp snow blower. Do men really need all that power equipment or are they just trying to escape all the indoor household chores? I have a whole list of things for him to do. Can you help this lonely indoor woman?

• • •

Cash: Only a 10hp snow

blower? Consider yourself lucky. He could be looking for a snowplow and a new truck to go along with it. Carry: It sometimes seems like power equipment is a part of the male DNA coding. Just say the word "tractor" and many guys begin to drool. And if we can find it in the classifieds for a fraction of the new cost, it sends chills down our spine.

Fast Facts Circuit Breaker

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 12/12/10 ©The Classified Guys®

As any guy can tell you, not all power tools were created equal. If you're buying an electric drill, circular saw or hand grinder you want the most power for your money. But comparing these tools by horsepower may not give you the best result. It's better to compare your tools by looking at the amperage. The higher the amps, the more power it is likely to have. And just in case you're wondering, this same technique works for comparing kitchen appliances.

Deep Trouble Cycle Cash: It's kind of like what

many women or teenagers feel when they shop at the mall. Find a Ralph Lauren designer outfit on the clearance rack at 75% off and you're walking out of the mall as proud as a peacock. Carry: Do men really need all this power equipment? Not really. But that's not the point. It's not even that we are trying to avoid all the inside work. But I have to be honest. It's difficult to get excited about a meager 10-amp vacuum. Cash: When Makita manufactures a 15-horsepower dust buster, a hydrostatic riding vacuum or a turbo-charged washing machine,

men will begin lining up to do the housework. Carry: Our suggestion is to let your husband have his small pleasures as long as he holds up his end of the inside chores. However if he's not, you can always try to entice him into doing housework. Consider placing the "Craftsman" emblem on the side of the vacuum or put all the dusting and cleaning products in his toolbox. That may help drive the point home. Cash: Just be careful. If he gets too excited about housework, you may one day find him dusting with the power leaf blower.

Most guys are not known for their cleanliness. However, when it comes to tools, it can be a different story. Here's a trick for cleaning all those wrenches and screwdrivers after a greasy job. Your wife may not like the idea, but you can run most tools like screwdrivers, sockets and wrenches through your dishwasher's normal cycle. Since most dishwashers have a drying cycle, rust is typically not an issue. And with the right detergent, you won't even get any pesky spots! •

My husband gets along great with our neighbor, Jim. So well, in fact, that he often borrows his tools and forgets to return them. The other day we were cleaning out the garage when Jim stopped over to say hello. As we moved things around, Jim noticed his weed wacker and leaf blower on the shelf. That's when he said to my husband, "Hey, do you mind if I bring my table saw over here." Perplexed, my husband replied, "Not at all, but why?" Jim joked back, "I just figured its best to have all my tools in one spot!" (Thanks to Nancy S.)
