Described as a night of business growth, relationship building and consumer education, many businesses owners and employees gathered together to find new customers and network with other community business people. The Expo included several educational workshops and a special guest lecture by Robert Jeppsen, senior vice president of Commercial Sales for Zions Bank. He discussed how to compete with big box companies and how to increase sales and provide a positive experience for clients. Business participants also won prizes at the end of the Expo, which included a $1,500 marketing package from Neuhoff Fox 14 won by Mountain Rides, and $400 in advertising from KECH, KSKI and STAR FM radio stations,

‘Absurd To The Rescue!’ Drama Club To Present Skit Fest

BY MARYLAND DOLL

ood River Valley residents who enjoy madcap humor and short skits may be interested in checking out the 13th annual “One-Act Play Festival” by Community School’s Middle School Drama Club this weekend. The festival’s theme this year is “Absurd to the Rescue!“ Performances will take place on Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Community School Theatre, located at 1 Community School Dr. in Sun Valley. The festival will feature ten-minute skits in which unexpected heroes and events ultimately save the day. The students’ role in the festival pushes the limits of what’s usually expect-

ed from typical Middle School plays, and that’s because this performance will be anything but average. “It’s a completely student driven play,” said Joel Vilinsky, the play’s producer and self-dubbed “polisher” and also a seventh grade teacher at the School. “The kids really get a chance to take it over.” The one-act skits give middle school and some upper school students a special opportunity to try their hand at the many facets of theatre. “I just want to give everyone a chance,” Vilinsky said. “If you want to direct, I’ll find a play for you to direct. If you want to act, I’ll make sure you get your chance on stage.” This year, students were quite eager to be involved with the production.

There are 41 actors and 27 other students participating in the festival, performing duties ranging from stage crew work, to costume design, to lighting and sound work. “[We have] nineteen kids just on stage crew alone!” Vilinsky said. When selecting the plays, Vilinsky took into consideration the number of students who would be involved as well as their personalities and aspirations for the festival. “When picking the skits, I’m trying to find a play for everyone,” he said. Very seldom has Vilinsky repeated a skit in his thirteen years of producing the festival. In past years, the School had an enrichment course during which students themselves would write some of the plays. But

today, Vilinsky pulls from several sources to make the most of the theatrical extravaganza, including one-act plays from The Louisville Outskirts Festival in Louisville, Ky., and Samuel French, Inc.—a New York Citybased firm that publishes plays, represents authors and sells scripts. The material for this year’s plays is quite diverse and promises to tickle audience members’ funny bones. “The League of Semi-Super Heroes” investigates a group of six questionable superheroes. “Does society really need a hero who cries uncontrollably or whose power is being pushy?” states a recent news release from the School. In “The Philadelphia,” a man finds himself in a “Twilight Zone” state in which he can’t get any-

thing he wants; in fact, he gets the exact opposite. The play “So Tell Me About This Guy” offers a glimpse of two middle school girls talking about a crush in the way only teenagers can. Other casts of characters tackle trendy fine dining, the wearing of white after Labor Day controversy, love at first sight in a taxicab, a loving send-up of support groups and even a celebration of cream pies. “You just want everyone to have a great time and get to participate in any way they want,” Vilinsky said. “Sure, there is going to be a learning curve, but that’s great!” I think this years edition of oneact plays will be a true joy.” Tickets cost $5 at the door. For more information, call the School at 208-622-3955. tws

Boulder Mountain Tour Gets New Directors The Board of Directors of the annual Boulder Mountain Tour has appointed two new race directors to manage the 40th annual event, which will take place on February 7. Kelly Allison and Glen Allison will assume the helm as co-race directors, taking over from Kevin Swigert, who ran the Tour for 13 years. “We are thrilled to have this dynamic duo running the Boulder Mountain Tour,” states Board President Bob Rosso in a recent news release from the Tour. “They will bring new innovations and energy to an already great race.” No major changes to the race are planned, according to the release, but there will be a few “enhancements” to the experience, including the option for those who participate in the “Half Tour” to be timed and for those who participate in the “Full Tour” to be untimed. “Glen and I are excited to take on what we consider to be THE anticipated community event of winter,” states Kelly Allison. “We hope to slowly grow the event over time while keeping the heart and soul of the Boulder Mountain Tour intact.” BRIEF

It’s ‘Winter Weather Awareness’ Week The week of November 9-15 is Winter Weather Awareness Week in the Pacific Northwest, including the states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington. “This is an excellent time for all individuals, families, businesses, schools, radio and television stations to review their winter weather preparedness plans,” states a recent news release from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “It is especially important for persons new to the region to become familiar with NOAA’s National Weather Service Watch and Warning definitions, as well as winter weather safety procedures.” For more information and to read several public information statements from NOAA, visit www.tinyurl.com/ tws-winterweather.

That’s Fourteen In Dog Years! ‘Paws N Claws’ Celebrates 2nd Anniversary animals began early; she was born into the fifth generation of an animal husbandry and conservation family that raised Hereford cattle and Paint horses. There were always plenty of pets around— dogs, cats, tropical fish and even a couple of parrots. Her parents also raised miniature Schnauzers, and her grandfather instilled in her the concept that “if we took care of our animals, they would in turn take care of us.” Nixon’s parents moved to Stanley when she was 10 years old, where her father worked for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game at the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery. Other than a brief spell in Southern California, Nixon has lived in the Wood River Valley the majority

of her life. “I’m very outdoorsy and love nature, so I HAVE to live here!” she said in an interview. “Our community is very health and nutrition conscious, very forward-thinking. I appreciate that and it fits beautifully into what I do.” Nixon added that she feels very blessed to have a fantastic and enthusiastic clientele, both human and animal. She also said it’s very rewarding to see the health and vitality of local dogs and cats improve with proper nutrition. Bailey and Corrigan (Nixon’s West Highland and Scottish terriers) are the store mascots, and sometimes people pop in just to see them. Nixon and her “girls” can be found at 5B Paws N Claws six days a week, but Kate

says she does try and take Corri and Bailey for long walks, on day trips up to Stanley Lake or to Boise to visit the grandmas. People are also welcome to—and like to—bring their dogs to the store to get treats and pick out their own beds and toys. Nixon throws a “Yappy Day” event several times throughout the year during which she invites manufacturers and product reps to come and give away all sorts of samples and goodies. Currently—in celebration of the store’s second anniversary—Nixon is offering 20 percent off West Paw bedding. Be sure to pop in and wish Nixon and the girls a happy second-year anniversary!

B Paws N Claws has come a long way since owner Kate Nixon opened the pet store— located at 616 S. Main Street in Hailey— on Nov. 5 two years ago. Nixon has made it her mission to follow the ever-changing and expanding pet industry and field of nutritional science to discover and share lesser-known pet food and product brands that offer superior nutrition, sound ingredient sourcing practices and environmentally friendly manufacturing technologies at a good

Along with advancing her knowledge base and— in turn—product lines, Nixon also strives to educate her clients regarding the advantages of providing better foods for their pets than those found at grocery and feed stores. Nixon has been in the pet product business since 2002, when she started “Baldy Biscuits,” a homemade holistic dog biscuit company in Ketchum. Baldy Biscuits was progressive in its day for being a high-quality, organic doggie bakery. She sold the bakery in 2013, and it’s still in business today. Nixon’s passion for

continue to excel in Olympic sailing—the sport is much more popular and promoted. “The America’s Cup in 2013 got a lot of network attention and did a lot for the sport,” Ruppert said. “However, generally in the public and private sector sailing doesn’t

get the attention it deserves. When you are sponsoring a team, you are looking for exposure, and American investors don’t see that in sailing right now.” Ruppert believes an Olympic win might help change this disparity, which is quite

large considering the high costs of competitive sailing. Ruppert estimates that his 22-month world tour will cost roughly $1 million, and beside their two largest sponsors— Vineyard Vines, an East Coast clothing retailer, and tech startup mPower—the

tour will be funded by contributions from family and friends. “The Olympics are the chance to represent your country at the highest level of competition, and I want to win not only for myself, but for the future of the sport,” Ruppert

said. Those who are interested in supporting and learning more about Ruppert and America’s road to the 2016 Summer Olympics in sailing can visit his campaign website at www. sailrio2016.com. tws

Buy A Chair For Rotarun Historic Fundraiser Helps Ski Hill

BY DICK DORWORTH

otarun, a community-owned and -operated nonprofit ski area a few miles west of Hailey, has come up with a unique way to raise money so that it can continue its 65-year tradition of providing affordable skiing and snowboarding to local skiers. This year, Rotarun is offering donors a piece of Sun Valley history—for a recommended contribution to the ski area of $1,000, $900 of which is tax deductible—in exchange for one of the former chairs from Sun Valley Resort’s Dollar Mountain chairlift, which carried skiers for 37 years from 1969 until 2006. Those original chairs were built in 1969 in Watertown, New York, by Hall Ski Lift Co. Avid skiers from all over the world know about Sun Valley’s Bald Mountain and Dollar

The ski hill continues to expand in popularity and facilities, and operates in winter on weekends and Wednesday and Friday nights under lights. Rotarun is open for operation during the winter months from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday and for night skiing on Wednesday and Friday from 6-9 p.m. Skiers under 5 or over 70 ski for free. Daily lift passes for those over 18 cost $20 and $10 for 6- to 17-year-olds. Season passes for adults and for an entire family are $100 and $50 for those under 17. The warming hut at the base of the mountain provides food, drink, snacks catered by Pete Prekeges/Grumpy’s, and students from

Low Input ‘St. Vincent’ St. Bill

Landscaping

BY JONATHAN KANE

f you are among the legions of Bill Murray fans and have been waiting for a role that mirrors his offscreen persona, then rush out and see the new film “St. Vincent” from first-time director and screenwriter Theodore Melfi. Not that Murray’s choices the last 20-plus years have been anything short of miraculous, but, for the most part, they haven’t had the broad comic appeal of his earlier work. Although St. Vincent has its cliché moments and works hard to be a tearjerker, the return of Murray to

classic form is all you need to know and drives the film to success. In the movie, he plays a Brooklyn ne’er-do-well who gives the word curmudgeon new meaning. Broke, alone and spending the last of his money at the racetrack and a local bar, Murray meets his new neighbors—a beautifully understated Melissa McCarthy and her young son, played by Jaeden Lieberher. McCarthy is separated from the boy’s father and stressed at work and the kid needs a babysitter. Enter Murray as the most unlikely of candidates. In fine W.C. Fields’ mode,

he takes the kid along for a series of adventures and mishaps and, in true movie form, eventually has his heart melted. Naomi Watts appears as his only friend—a Russian prostitute who works the accent a little too hard but helps to humanize Murray. Chris O’Dowd stars as the priest at the boy’s Catholic school that assigns the students the task of finding a saint in their midst—from which the movie finds its title. But as you can imagine, the show is all about Murray and his unique comic gifts. To call him an American treasure is a complete and utter understatement. tws

ardening inputs are materials and resources brought in from outside the borders of your yard or garden. Pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation water are some of these inputs. Even your labor, and the gasoline needed to operate lawnmowers, edgers and hedge clippers are inputs. If you have an input-intensive landscape, chances are you spend more time, energy and money than necessary. With more inputs, the chances for environmental contamination, such as leaching of chemicals into the groundwater, increase. A healthy, sustainable landscape will require fewer inputs. Think of your garden as a self-perpetuating ecosystem, a grouping of plants, animals and other organisms interacting with one another and their environment. In your garden ecosystem, you have three basic interacting types of organisms: producers, consumer, and decomposers. The trick to low-input landscaping is to reach a balance between these three types of organisms. Producers are green plants that convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into energy for plant growth. Producers create all the energy needed to make your garden ecosystem function smoothly. Consumers are organisms that feed on live plant or animal material. Some consumers are animals and insects that eat green plants in your garden. Others are animals that eat other animals in your garden. Decomposers are dead plant and animal materials as an energy source. Some decomposers we can see, like earthworms and insects. Others are microscopic. Decomposers activate and recycle nutrients in your garden ecosystem. A balanced ecosystem produces, uses and recycles nutrients. Increasing inputs, such as pesticides, fertilizers or water, may imbalance your garden ecosystem. However, increasing outputs can also cause an imbalance. The primary output of a landscape is plant material. Removing flowers, vegetables, grass clippings or leaves from your garden depletes your ecosystem of nutrients. Soil loss or removal is also an output. The more the imbalance of inputs and outputs, the greater the imbalance of the system and the greater the possibility for environmental damage or degradation, and the greater the need for even more inputs. Certain management strategies will promote garden health, maintain a balanced garden ecosystem, and lead to a healthy, sustainable garden. Look for the upcoming Extension Tips article to learn about low-input management strategies.

The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality and the federal budget.” —Mark Bittman, Michael Pollan, Ricardo Salvador and Olivier de Schutter In last week’s Washington Post, these four food movement heroes outlined the ultimate national food policy, which provides that: 1) All Americans have access to healthful food; 2) Farm policies are designed to support our public health and environmental objectives; 3) Our food supply is free of toxic bacteria, chemicals and drugs; 4) Production and marketing of our food are done transparently; 5) The food industry pays a fair wage to those it employs; 6) Food marketing sets children up for healthful lives by instilling in them a habit of eating real food; 7) Animals are treated with compassion and attention to their well-being; 8) The food system’s carbon footprint is reduced, and the amount of carbon sequestered on farmland is increased; 9) The food system is sufficiently resilient to withstand the effects of climate change. Are these not part of our inalienable rights as American citizens? Why is it that the existing industrialized global food industry has more power than our federal government? Our only chance at reform is to rebuild from the bottom up—the true meaning of grassroots. We must create a food system that makes healthful fresh food affordable and accessible. Our Valley is a perfect place to start. Ali Long is the president of The Springcreek Foundation and the director of the Local Food Alliance.

BY JONATHAN KANE

ndrew Pearson, a senior at Wood River High School carrying a 3.8 grade point average, likes to think of himself as an adventurous spirit. “I like to be out of my comfort zone and to try new things,” he said. After snowboarding since he was 4 years old, Pearson learned how to ski this past year. “I learned on Baldy and I fell in love with it. It just makes you feel free and also it’s a lot of fun and thrilling. I learned so that I could give backcountry skiing a try. I love the hiking aspect and picking lines to ski. It’s all about going for it— looking at something and deciding that it’s fun. I had never done backcountry skiing before. Being able to ski makes it easier to access. I love skinning up, taking them off and then skiing back down the hill.” For his senior project, Pearson designed the graphics for a pair of skis. “The skis are already engineered, so I worked with how they would look. I used vector art, which incorporates straight lines, and I did it all on Adobe Illustrator. I also layered the base sheet, which is the first step in the process. The purpose of the project was to make a connection to architecture, which is something that I want to pursue. I got the design from the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, who used mosaics. I wanted to show how architecture could be learning how to think abstractly and to show what architecture means.” Pearson’s desire to help the community that

he moved to last year is exhibited in his work as a volunteer with the Hailey Fire Department. “I started my junior year and I hope to have a Firefighter 1 certificate by the time I am 18 so that I can go out on calls. My dad’s a park ranger and I had a background of search and rescue and of being a public servant. Firefighting is a great way to serve the community. It’s fun and exciting and although it’s not a career because I’m a volunteer, it’s a great skill and a terrific way to serve the city. We are now going through a book with lessons that helps us to prepare and then there is hands-on work. Some of the things we are learning is an analysis of construction and buildings, what it takes physically to be a firefighter, the chain of command and how fire behavior works. For my certificate I need to know how to listen and take orders and how to be the first in a building. If you forcibly enter a building, you need to know all the basics and that you don’t give commands. “It is all so interesting and I like learning about how a fire works and how to be safe around it. It’s also very physically demanding, so you need to be fit and able to work 12 hours at a time, plus it can be a total drain on you physically, emotionally and mentally. I’m not really afraid because I trust the people that I work with. Of course, there is some fear going into a burning building and a lot of adrenaline, but I have to remember what I’ve learned and be able to make decisions in split-second time.”

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR NOV. 12TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

inter fishing has quickly come upon us. This means significant change for the angler. It may be time to put the 4-weight fly rod away or your favorite dry-fly stick and get ready for a few months of nymphing and streamer fishing. The best news is, no more carrying a big bag with a ton of gear and flies for many months. Anglers can now enjoy a fly box with a few basic nymph patterns and a couple of good streamers. Make sure you have strike indicators, a tippet spool, nippers and forceps and you’re good to go! A winter fly box should include: size 18/20 Red and Black Zebra Nymphs, size 12/14 Beadhead Prince Nymphs, Hare’s Ears and Zug Bugs, size 14/16 Brassies in Red and Copper, Girdle Bugs, Montana Stonefly Nymphs and your favorite streamer patterns like Buggers, Sparkle Minnows and Zonkers. Another important piece of gear you should have is the New Zealand Strike Indicator. This new Strike Indicator system is incredible and made this angler switch after 20-plus years of using the same foam indicators. These New Zealand-style indicators can be moved freely up and down the line; they are super-sensitive, float well and are unperceivable when casting. Winter is also an excellent time to fish with fluorocarbon instead of nylon leader material. When fishing subsurface, there will always be a delay between the fish eating and the angler striking. One small advantage you can gain is by using fluorocarbon material because it won’t stretch when you set the hook. This means a quicker hook set and hook point that penetrate with power. Just because it is getting cold doesn’t mean you should stop fishing. One thing you can do to make it more comfortable out there is to fish with fingerless gloves. Take that one step further and insert hand warmers into the backs of your gloves to keep the blood moving to your fingers warm. Sock liners are also a great idea in combination with a really good winter sock and, if you get really cold feet, try boot-foot waders. Also keep in mind that what you eat before and what you bring to snack on while fishing is important as well. Keep your energy level high and that alone will keep you moving and keep you warm. Finally, remember that snowstorms mean low pressure and around here that means very, very good winter fishing! Happy fishing, everyone!

Holiday Doggie Manners STORY AND PHOTO BY FRAN JEWELL

ments for both you and Fluffy by teaching her good manners when greeting guests at the door, not begging from the table, grabbing food off the floor under the elegantly set dinner table, or

he holiday season is approaching and along with it come some important considerations for dogs. We have all heard the hazards that include chocolate, macadamia nuts, poinsettias, grapes and even leftover turkey (especially the fatty skins). If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian what to be watchful for. But, often we forget about dog manners until the door opens and Fluffy jumps on Grandma, rips her dress or claws her fragile skin or, forbid, knocks her over! We don’t think much about Fluffy sniffing the counter until all the guests are sitting at the table and Fluffy grabs the knife covered with turkey smell and cuts her mouth severely, requiring stitches at the local vet who is ALSO trying to enjoy the holiday! We might forget Puppies are NOT Gifts. that our otherwise sweet-natured Fluffy dangerous counter surfing. is afraid of new people or the If training manners is not in confusion that accompanies the celebrations. Now, baby Jimmy is the cards, you might consider a good management program that toddling full steam right in her might even include boarding direction headed for a handful of your dog when company comes. gorgeous tail! Using a leash for Fluffy to stop PREVENTION is the word to jumping and to keep her on a dog remember this holiday season. bed away from the table might Prevent these stressful mo-

be another quick solution. But, if Fluffy is fearful, please be sure to remove her from any situation that might make her feel she has to bite to protect herself. Do not expect her to work through her fear when you are busy entertaining and cannot give her your full attention. And, lastly, the holidays are NOT a good time to bring a new puppy home. Puppies and dogs should not be gifts. They are long-term commitments that should be thoroughly thought through and chosen deliberately based on lifestyle and needs. You should not make that decision for someone else, nor would you want someone to make that decision for you. Do not expect a pup to stay away from all the decorations or be well-behaved with guests. Puppies deserve your full attention for house training and developing a relationship with you AFTER the holiday season. Love your dog or puppy enough to seek professional help, if needed, and by planning ahead. Make this holiday one to treasure forever and never forget!

NO BIG CHANGES The election results are in and as far as Idaho is concerned, very little has changed. The same goes for the folks of the Wood River Valley. It’s still the best place to live. The weather is nice, the roads are dry, the people are friendly and the air is fresh and clear. Family is still the most important asset in our lives. Our health, our jobs, our income and our happiness remain paramount as well. We value our friends and neighbors, our homes and vehicles, our Gorby in slacks, that’s a big change, right?

The Way I See It... SIMPLE, SHORT & SWEET

It occurs to me why local folks enjoy The Blatant County News. It’s because, basically, people don’t like to read anymore. We adopted a formula of short one-liners built into different recurring segments, photo displays of humor, short columns and funny ads. You can read the whole deal in about ten minutes and one part will surely make you laugh. Our covers are always about Matt and me and how we get through various periods of time. It’s simple, sweet and in a very short matter of time we’ve become the “Dumb and Dumber” of the Wood River Valley. We achieved what I believe is our primary goal of no one taking us seriously. I like that because so many take themselves too seriously in this lifetime. Long stories with no photographs are boring. Long, drawn-out jokes are painful. Most advertisements are boring and painful. Even long sentences are ignored. That’s why we’ve listened to the voices of digital networks and social media. Hit

CORRECTIONS

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we blew it on the election results. We apologized at length last week. Sorry, Mickey and thanks for being such a good sport. In other errata, four commas were included that there was absolutely no need for. A dash instead of a hyphen, three colons added for no apparent reason and an erroneous capitalization of the word “Mom.” highlighted our ineptness. This is a project in progress. We’re taking courses online to learn proper grammar, sentence construction and spelling. We will improve. We will make you laugh. We will give local businesses the opportunity to have their products and services presented in a warm, humorous manner. We’re in it for the long run and with the winter season coming upon us, we believe we can all prosper together. “Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.”

Crumbs Of Money

BY WENDELL CAYTON

ecently, we were notified by our broker/ dealer that states are looking at “inactive” mutual fund accounts as possible abandoned unclaimed property (AUP). According to the notification, mutual fund vendors are becoming proactive in identifying inactive accounts (accounts whereby neither the client nor representative have contacted the vendor for a period of time) or accounts with returned mail. If the owner does not respond to vendor inquiries, they risk having their property turned over to their state as unclaimed property. All states require financial institutions, including brokerage firms, to report when personal property has been abandoned or unclaimed after a period of time specified by the state, usually five years. If the property remains unclaimed it is turned over to the state through a process called “escheatment” whereby the state becomes the owner of the property. The states hold the property until the former account owner makes a claim. States may sell securities and treat the cash as state funds. States have identified abandoned and unclaimed property as a source of revenue. Some states hold AUP assets in their general fund, counting the receipts as revenue, making it worthwhile to become increasingly aggressive about enforcing AUP laws, which require businesses to comply with identification and reporting requirements.

In some cases, abandoned securities may have increased substantially in value after the holding state sold the shares. This has resulted in interesting lawsuits for wrongful escheatment with rulings both for the state and for the claimant, depending on facts and circumstances. Property that may be subject to escheatment, depending on the state, might include, but not be limited to, bank accounts, life insurance demutualization proceeds, gift cards or gift certificates, life insurance or annuity proceeds, insurance refunds, money orders, recovery of miscellaneous closing costs from property sales, stock accounts, mutual funds, IRAs or retirement accounts, safe deposit box contents, wages, abandoned business property, property of a decedent, and utility deposits. Once abandoned property is turned over to the state by a business, an owner generally has five years to reclaim. States have their own requirements for finding and claiming unclaimed property. Once you identify and make a claim, the respective state will ask for information about you and verification of your ownership. Some, like Idaho, will allow you to donate AUP to one of several state charities. There are several websites where you can search for unclaimed property. Most states have a search engine leading to their specific site with their rules for claiming property. A non-commercial site, the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, allows you

to search by individual states. Several state search sites will search the entire country, by either last name only or first and last name. Now, getting down to specifics, about a year ago a nephew called me to tell me that my family had unclaimed property listed in California. I went through the search process, not limiting my search to California. Like many in our mobile society, my family and I had lived in a number of states. My search uncovered more than a few morsels of money we had left behind… I called it “crumbs of money,” ranging from utility deposits to property insurance refunds as well as a tidy sum from a property closing. In the process I also uncovered unclaimed property for a number of distant relatives! We completed the claim process with California’s Unclaimed Property Department, and I have to report that it was worth the effort!

Progress, Not Perfection BY STELLA STOCKTON

“Perfect!” How often do you hear or use this word in daily conversation? In my opinion, the word perfect is both overdone and annoying. Few things in life are actually perfect—the magnificence of nature, or perhaps the innocence of a newborn child. Our frantically paced culture urges us to produce and perfect—endlessly striving to be or do the very best. I suggest that it’s time to move beyond this obsession with perfection, particularly as it pertains to our self-image and physical appearance. In our increasingly narcissistic, consumer culture we are blasted with negative body image messages that delve into every aspect of our lives. Internet ads, television shows, billboards and the like tirelessly diminish one’s self-esteem— for massive profits. Billions are made annually in the perpetuation of destructive messages that tell us we are inadequate, and that ‘x’ product, fitness fad or cosmetic procedure will push us closer to some illusory ideal. Twenty years ago, the average model weighed 8 percent less than the

average woman; today, she weighs 23 percent less— often with the aid of airbrushing. Women have long been viciously targeted, and increasingly so now are men and young adolescents. We can choose to be proactive and take actions to reduce our exposure to these insidiously harmful media messages.

Some ideas:

1.Cultivate a practice of daily positive self-talk or affirmations. Acknowledge your many talents and strengths—unrelated to your appearance. What if who we are is good enough, and we could relax and revel in that truth? There is no ‘final destination’ and we don’t get a prize on our deathbed for slaving away toward a perfect ideal. 2.Limit exposure to ‘toxic media.’ Avoid beauty magazines and websites; even many alleged ‘health’ magazines are just packed with airbrushed models and outrageous, unhealthy images of beauty and thinness. 3.Release the habit of comparing yourself to others. We are all different and unique—celebrate diversity! 4.Practice gratitude for the good things in your life. Shift your focus back to what is meaningful and real

in life, rather than fantasy images and ‘grass is greener’ mentality. 5.Make time for daily selfcare. Spend time enjoying a hobby, journaling, exercise, meditation—any fun, nurturing activity that lifts your spirits and provides fresh energy and perspective. 6.Educate yourself and others on the topic of healthy body image. Watch the Ted Talk by Meaghan Ramsey titled “Why Thinking You’re Ugly is Bad For You.” Also the short film “Slim Hopes” by Jean Kilbourne.

The Music Never Stops

BY DICK DORWORTH

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” –Friedrich Nietzche

ack Bruce died a couple of weeks ago and his passing brings up many memories and reminders of all the connections that, like the music, never stop. I saw Bruce but once in 1967 because of Ralph Gleason, whose writings about jazz and pop music in the San Francisco Chronicle were and perhaps still are unrivaled. In those days I regularly read the work of Gleason, Charles McCabe and Herb Caen in

the Chronicle, and late that summer Gleason wrote something to the effect that “…the best drummer in the history of music (perhaps it was only rock and roll, but I remember it as music) is playing at the Fillmore.” My regard for Gleason was such that I was assured I did not want to miss hearing/ seeing “the best in history.” I didn’t and, as expected, Gleason was right. The Fillmore was a cultural experience in itself, as was Ginger Baker, the best drummer in history. Jack Bruce played a bass that kept up with Baker, and the third member of the group, Eric Clapton, certainly knew how to play guitar. The group was called Cream, and anyone who

likes their music or who ever attended a Fillmore concert (especially in the ’60s) will understand that it was a nutritious, memorable, mind-expanding night and I’m grateful to Gleason for leading me to it. A few years later, Lance Poulsen and I climbed a new route on the Finger of Fate in the Sawtooth Mountains and named it “Feel Free” after the fine Cream song “I Feel Free,” co-authored by Bruce. A few months after Gleason enticed me to the Fillmore, he and Jann Wenner founded “Rolling Stone” which, in my opinion, is a bright light in a dim time of American journalism and continues to publish some of the best and deepest

investigative reporting to be found, including, but by no means limited to, that of the late Hunter S. Thompson, the fine work about Hailey’s Bowe Bergdahl (DON’T FORGET BOWE!) by Michael Hastings and, more recently, Tim Dickinson’s “Inside the Koch Brothers’ Toxic Empire,” which will help you understand the results of last week’s elections. Though “Rolling Stone” is rightfully associated with the music world, Wenner wrote in the first edition that it, “…is not just about the music, but about the things and attitudes that music embraces.” That is, the music we listen to is an intrinsic aspect of the personal, cultural, social, political, economic and

spiritual lives each of us chooses to live, and I will always be grateful to Ralph Gleason, who died in 1975, for directing me to at least one night of the very best of it. Wenner, who is still editor and publisher of “Rolling Stone,” has a home and lives part of the year in the Wood River Valley where he skis Baldy at every opportunity, raises his children and continues to dance to the music that not everyone hears but which never stops. Dick Dorworth is a Blaine County resident, author and former world record holder for speed on skis. Visit his website and blog at dickdorworth.com.
