his Saturday, two local athletes—Lee and Storm Anderson—will make history in Elko, Nev. Lee, 43, and his son, Storm, 20, will be the first father and son to fight on the same night at the professional cage fighting event promoted by Gladiator Challenge and known as “King of the Streets.” They will be joined by Julie Daniels, 30, who is an amateur fighter described by Lee as “…a standout female cage fighter…with her sights set on becoming a professional.” Cage fighting is not for the weak of body, mind or spirit or for those who favor a lot of rules. “Cage fighting is a combat sport which is extremely demanding physically and mentally,” Lee Anderson said in an interview. “With very few rules, athletes can strike standing up with punches, kicks, elbows and knees as well as wrestling for takedowns and throws or grappling on the ground working for submissions such as chokes, arm locks, leg locks, as well as striking on the ground. The fights can be won by knockout,

n keeping with Caritas Chorale’s seasonal tradition, the local singing group will again host its annual “Holiday Sing-Along” this year. The event will take place on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, located at 201 Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. “This is one of my favorite events of the year,” said R.L. Rowsey, the chorale’s newly appointed director, in an interview. Rowsey has a diverse set lined up for the evening that includes both traditional and contemporary songs. Caritas will provide songbooks to the audience so everyone can join the chorale in singing traditional carols and familiar holiday favorites that will be sure to delight and surprise, such as “Let It Snow,” “The First Noel” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

Proceeds from the event will benefit The Hunger Coalition, a Bellevue-based nonprofit whose mission is to end hunger in the Wood River Valley community. Before the sing-along, representatives of The Hunger Coalition will give a short speech about the progress the organization has made this year and about its future projects. “The Hunger Coalition provides essential services to our community,” states Rowsey in a recent news release. “We are honored to invite you to join us in supporting their work. And we’ll have lots of fun doing it too.” The event is perfect for children and adults of all ages who, just like the chorale, are eager to get into the holiday spirit and share a little bit of Christmas joy with their community. “I’d defiantly say it’s one of our louder events,” said Rowsey in the interview. “It’s the perfect place to bring kids, because it’s under an hour, and they are more than welcome to sing-along with us or dance around to the music. It’s a family-friendly event. That’s for CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

uick, what is Idaho’s nickname? The Potato State? Good try! Of course, it is the Gem State. Catastrophic geology across the ages has created conditions that allowed for the distribution of veins of gold, silver, lead, zinc, cobalt, copper, molybdenum and other rare minerals such as star garnets (the state gem), jasper, opal, jade, topaz and tourmaline. However, there are other gems in our midst. They reside in many of our homes and frequent our educational institutions. These two versions of the treasures of our state have been commingling for the last six weeks in the eighth-grade earth science classes of Wood River Middle School. Students in Mr. Scott’s and Mr. Poklemba’s classes have been immersed in the science of rocks and minerals. Identifying testable properties, growing crystals, simulating petrified wood and agate and collecting specimens were all part of the project. To help bring closure to this unit, local rockhound, builder, miner and jeweler Marshall Robbins brought some tools of the trade and knowledge to the eighthgrade wing.

Dates Set For ‘Christkindl Markt’ BY THE WEEKLY SUN STAFF

arabella Flowers will present its annual “Christkindl Markt” on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 12-14, at the flower shop located at the intersection of Galena Street and Second Avenue, in Hailey. The “Markt” will feature ornaments, jewelry, birdhouses, f leece wear, watercolor cards, antler accessories, garlands, wreaths, fresh f lowers and holly. A “Christkindl Markt” is generally a street-type market associated with the celebration of Christmas, particularly popular in the German-speaking parts of Europe. Historically, such markets were usually held in

front of churches so people could check out the wares on their way in to worship. “Christkindl” (or Christchild) replaced “Sankt Nikolaus” (Saint Nicholas) as the holiday gift giver in those parts of Europe during the Protestant Reformation. “It’s my yearly party for all my customers and the community, my Christmas party,” said Tarabella owner Tara Hoff Matteson of the Markt. “It’s for everybody. People love it.” The Markt will be open from 4-8 p.m. on Friday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit www. tarabellaf lowers.com or call 208-788-4046.

www.facebook.com/WeeklySun twitter.com/#!/TheWeeklySun

Robbins shared some of his 40 years of skill and knowledge with the entire eighth grade, spending all day cutting geodes, polishing agate, distributing quartz crystals and regaling students with anecdotes and nuggets of wisdom. “Follow your passion and the money will come,” he said. “And if it doesn’t, at least you’ll live with a sincere smile and a heartfelt endeavor.” As a culminating activity to the rock and mineral unit, each eighth-grader created a rock and mineral project. Samples came out of barns, gardens, hillsides, mountains and mines, and were gifted from friends, relatives and teachers. Students tested each sample using the techniques and equipment of the science lab to reveal the identification. The gamut of rock types and minerals were then placed in a display created by each student. Last Friday, the students were able to enjoy over 220 rock and mineral projects featuring over 2,000 samples. The goal of learning about rocks and minerals became secondary to the general realization of how lucky we are to live in such a historically rich and beautiful environment. There are some who would argue that all of the riches were mined out of the Wood River Valley long ago, but those who search a bit deeper—with a bit of patience and looking in the right places—know that is not the case. Many of the gems are still in our midst.

In addition to welcoming guest photography that features the Wood River Valley and its surrounding areas, The Weekly Sun encourages its readers to submit letters to the editor that discuss positive local topics. Send letters and/or photos to Editor Brennan Rego at brennan@theweeklysun.com.

Olivia Thornton An Artist’s Eye

Dates and Speakers Set For Women’s Film Fest Olivia Thornton is an aspiring artist and senior at Wood River High School. Courtesy photo

BY JONATHAN KANE

livia Thornton, a senior at Wood River High School, has an artist’s eye, whether it is in drawing and painting, floral arranging or interior design. “I just have a passion for finding beauty in everything,” Thornton says. Born and raised in Hailey, Thornton moved once to the house behind her old one, and said she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. “I love it here,” she says. “It’s a nice community and a great place to grow up in, mostly because you don’t have to worry about anything. I wouldn’t change growing up here for anything. I like small towns and we are in such a pretty area, but when I’m older I’ll probably live in a bigger area. In a small town there just aren’t as many people around that you share interests with.” Thornton’s love of the arts probably came from her father, who is an artist and graphic designer. “As a kid, I would always want to paint in Dad’s studio,” she says. “Basically, I would paint landscapes that didn’t turn out that well. I really started to get into it in high school when I started drawing and really enjoyed that more than painting. It’s also when I took an Intro to Art course that really interested me and that I really enjoyed. It’s where I learned about shading and adding value to things. I also found out that I was pretty good at it. My sophomore year I took studio art and that really sparked my

love for art. Our assignment was to do something related to cinema by incorporating filmstrips into the project. I did the classic portrait of Audrey Hepburn with film in the background and I ended up wining first place. It made me feel really happy and realize that this is what I wanted to do.” For the last two years, Thornton has been doing Advanced Placement Art, where students build a portfolio of their work. The first year, each student completed 12 pieces to show different skills in painting and drawing by choosing their subjects. “This year we chose one overall theme, and I’m focusing on my room, which I love,” Thornton says. “I’m taking certain pieces and drawing one, painting one, doing one in watercolor and two in colored pencils. I prefer pencils to paint because, with painting, it’s so hard to get detail, especially if you make one wrong move with the brush. It just doesn’t come easy for me. All the pieces I’m working on now are objects, but I add something different to each one— like manipulating a photo. I also do portrait work, but not as much as I should. One of my strongest pieces is a portrait that I did of Natalie Wood based on a photo that I saw of her. It’s so big and it’s hanging in my room today. Compared to the one I did of Audrey Hepburn, it’s much more advanced and it was really exciting to work on. As to the future – I’m not totally sure. The list of careers in the arts is endless, so I’ll just have to see where it takes me.” tws

he eighth annual Family of Woman Film Festival will take place from Feb. 26 through March 1 at the Sun Valley Opera House, located in the resort village. This year’s theme will be “Women and their Dreams.” The festival will present a selection of films from Nigeria, Iran, Syria, India, Pakistan and Brazil about exceptional women and girls who have taken control of their destinies. This year’s festival will include a free public screening with filmmaker Mohammed Naqvi, director of “Pakistan’s Hidden Shame” (shown above). The festival will be preceded on Feb. 24 by a lecture by Jill Sheffield, founder and president of Women Deliver, a global organization whose mission is to reduce maternal mortality and increase universal access to reproductive health.

Right Place, Right Time For Emergency Bike

ailey Fire Chief Craig Aberbach poses with an emergency response bike that his department recently purchased without spending a dime of city money. The bike came in handy during its first official cruise on Thanksgiving Day at the annual Turkey Trot event, hosted by Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley. “The bike was in the right area at the right time,” Aberbach said, explaining that he had taken the bike to the Turkey Trot at the Draper Preserve in Hailey because it seemed like an opportune event and location to try it out. “Just as I got there, one of the race participants slipped and dislocated or broke her ankle,” Aberbach said. “I was able to provide initial stabilization until the ambulance arrived. They couldn’t pull up to the scene. It was inaccessible.” Aberbach and other rescuers walked the stretcher from the ambulance to the injured runner and carried her on it back to the ambulance. Aberbach said the department currently has one operational emergency bike and is in the process of outfitting a second. The money to buy the bikes comes directly from the community, he said. Race Director Daryl Fauth said the bike was the ideal equipment to respond to such an accident. “[Aberbach] showed up right as the accident occurred and was able to administer immediate assistance,” Fauth said.

‘Taize’ Services Will Return To St. Thomas

St. Thomas Episcopal Church, located at 201 Sun Valley Road in Ketchum, will begin a series of “Taize” services that will take place on Wednesday evenings during the dark months of winter.

They will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the church on Dec. 3, 10 and 17; Jan. 7, 14, 21 and 28; and Feb 4. and 11. The services are patterned on the worship style of Taize, which is a small religious community in France that was founded in the early 1940’s to promote ways to heal the divisions between Christians of all faith traditions, and among all religions in general,” states a recent news release from St. Thomas.

Music To Stir Up The Holiday Season Wood River Orchestra Will Perform Sunday

Wood River Orchestra’s holiday concert on Sunday will feature young violin soloist Alyssa Hershey. Courtesy photo

BY P.M. FADDEN

he Wood River Community Orchestra will present a special holiday concert, “Accolay’s Concerto in A Minor,” on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre, located in the Community Campus at 1050 Fox Acres Road

in Hailey. The performance will feature young violin soloist Alyssa Hershey. First assembled in 2007, the orchestra’s mission is to enrich the lives of Wood River Valley area residents by providing opportunities to actively perform and enjoy music and to inspire others to experience it as an essential component of daily life. Orchestra Director Brad Hershey—Alyssa’s husband—will lead the performance. Selections for the evening’s program include Schubert’s “ Unfinished Symphony” and Barber’s “Adagio for Strings.” The performance will also offer traditional holiday singalong music. Alyssa Hershey, an Idaho native, began exploring piano at age 3. By age 5, she was pleading for a violin. Brought up with music and surrounded by the support of family, it was discovered that Alyssa possessed an extraordinary talent on the violin. That skill drew her to Boise. Once there, she began private study under Boise Philharmonic concertmasters Jill Rowley and Geoffrey Trabichoff. Alyssa’s tutelage continued throughout her schooling and lead to an opportunity of full academic/musical scholarship at Albertson College of Idaho (now College of Idaho). At age 18, Alyssa successfully auditioned with the Boise Philharmonic—which is also where she met Brad. The couple joined the Valley community in 2006 when they settled in Ketchum. Alyssa has taken a position at Community School instructing elementary and middle school music. Community School also hired Brad as a teacher of upper school music. “For the past eight years, we have embedded ourselves in the music scene of the beautiful Wood River Valley, playing with or musically directing for St. Thomas Playhouse, Caritas Chorale, Company of Fools, and many more,” Alyssa said in an interview of her family’s involvement in the area. Alyssa has played with the Wood River Orchestra since its inaugural year. As concertmaster, Alyssa leads by sharing her string expertise. “It is a joy to be able to share my passion for the violin on the stage, with my husband leading the orchestra beside me,” she said. “It is such a privilege to have your profession be your passion. I do not take that for granted— even at the end of a 10-hour day of music classes, private lessons, and rehearsals.” Admission to the concerto is free, though the Orchestra will welcome donations. “If you are a young musician dreaming of a career in music, believe in yourself,” Alyssa said. “It is possible! Music can take you places you have never even dreamed of.” tws

WINTER WONDERLAND FOR KIDS

he Kiwanis Club of Hailey and the Wood River Valley wants to change the world one child at a time. With that mission in mind, the nonprofit club will be hosting its tenth annual “Winter Wonderland For Kids” event for all children in the Blaine County community. The merry extravaganza will take place on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. at the Hailey National Guard Armory, located at 701 S. 4th Street in Hailey. Admission costs $5 per person.

Thanks largely to Spinelli’s efforts, the Winter Wonderland has grown quite a bit over the past decade to become what it is today. The event used to be a subset of the Wood River Festival of Tree, hosted by the Blaine County Senior Center. It was then called “Teddy Bear Tea with Santa.” However, in an effort to ease the burden and make the Festival of Trees more manageable for the Senior Center, Kiwanis stepped up and offered to host and fund the annual kids’ event. The Winter Wonderland could not be a more appropriate way for the club to give back to the children of the community while pro-

“One of my favorite memories are the dads that become architects helping their children build the gingerbread houses,” he said. According to Shirley Spinelli, all the money the club raises throughout the year goes “back to the kids,” whether through the Blaine County School District, The Hunger Coalition, St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center or other organizations that works directly with children. “If an organization sees a need for a child, they will call us and we will try our best to fill that need,” she explained. “That could mean school supplies, winter clothes, sports equip-

The local Kiwanis Club is a chapter of Kiwanis International, a global organization dedicated to promoting and ensuring a healthy environment for youth around the world. 2015 will mark Kiwanis International’s 100-year anniversary. “We started the [local chapter of the] club 10 years ago,” Spinelli said. “Jim became the first president of Kiwanis Hailey, he also helped start most all the Idaho and Utah clubs.” Though the Winter Wonderland is mostly geared toward the little ones, it’s “really” an event for the whole family, Jim Spinelli said in an interview.

The $5 entrance fee merely serves to offset some of the organization’s costs for putting on the event so it can do it all again next year!

CARITAS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Caritas Chorale Director R.L. Rowsey spent many years touring the nation as a musical director and conductor before moving to the Wood River Valley.

In addition, he has directed for St. Thomas Playhouse. Courtesy photo

certain.” Besides being one of Caritas’ “loudest” events, the Sing-Along is also the group’s broadest show, Rowsey said. “The audience ranges from little ones to people who have celebrated lots and lots of Christmases,” he explained. According to Rowsey, every community should have a chorale. Currently, Caritas boasts about 60 members and is always looking for more. “It’s a great way to come together as a community, and it’s exciting because we are always getting new members who are more than welcome to join and bring something unique to our group,” he said Those interested in

attending the Sing-Along might even consider pulling out their Christmas sweaters a bit early this year to add even more of a festive tone to the evening. By joining Caritas in song, audience members will have the opportunity raise their voices, their own (and others’) spirits and funds for the hungry—all in one night. Admission to the SingAlong will be a donation to The Hunger Coalition in the form of cash, check or non-perishable food items to be provided to families in need. For more information about the event or Caritas, visit www.caritaschorale. org. For more information on The Hunger Coalition, visit www.thehungercoalition.org. tws

Black Dress Club Gives Hunger Coalition $2,400

he Little Black Dress Club-Wood River recently awarded The Hunger Coalition a $2,400 grant for its “Cooking Matters” classes. “Cooking Matters” is a six-week course that teaches individuals, families and kids how healthy cooking can be delicious, enjoyable and—most importantly—affordable. This fall, the classes were taught to “I Have a Dream” fifth-grade children. “These kids love to cook!” states Cooking Matters instructor Sharon Dohse in a recent news release from The Hunger Coalition. “Each week they’d ask me, ‘What are we going to cook this week? What are we going to cook next week?’ They are eager to learn about cooking, but also to learn about nutrition, as well.” The classes give kids a chance to sample foods they’ve never had—or even heard of before. “Every student has tried a new fruit or vegetable this session,” Dohse states. “Many students had never tried a blackberry or honeydew melon.” Courtesy photo

S- Live Music _- Benefit THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR DEC. 3TH FROM PICABO ANGLER

nglers can expect a wonderful week of fishing in the Sun Valley area as warmish temperatures and low pressure will bring all our local rivers to life. There is a chance that some of the first midge hatches of the winter could bring fish to the surface, but the focus should probably remain on nymphing and streamer fishing. On the Big Wood, plan on the usual suspects for fly choice. Hare’s Ears, Prince Nymphs, Girdle Bugs and Zebra Nymphs are all excellent choices. Any of these flies fished in tandem will also work well. Concentrate on the boulder runs with waistdeep riffles. The fish in the Wood love this winter water. Any gentle riffle you can find will hold great amounts of fish. Keep in mind that fish group together in the best runs during the winter, so if you catch one, stay put and try to get several! Silver Creek is another excellent choice to fish this week. Streamer fishing is the mainstay this time of the season; fish down and across the river with very little weight on your fly. Keep your rod tip on the water and the line coming straight into the tip. Vary your stripping until you find the way they like it. This can change day to day. Some days no stripping at all can be your best bet. Just let the fly swing slowly across the river with no movement. It is a great way to imitate a leech and a great way to get big fish hooked up. If you head to the Creek, remember that only the portion downstream from the Highway 20 bridge remains open. The Nature Conservancy, Kilpatrick Pond and the water through the Purdy ranch is closed for the season. Everything else remains open for catch-and-release fishing only through the end of February. More places to explore for longer trips or even overnight trips include the Lost River near Mackay. This is always a fun overnight. Check out the Wagon Wheel Motel for a place to stay. The South Fork of the Boise would be a great day trip if the weather holds. Try to look closely at the forecast, as you don’t want to drive up or down the hill in and out of the canyon in adverse weather. When it gets really bad, they will close the road. Get out there and fish, everyone! It is going to be a very, very good week for catching! Happy fishing!

alidor has been home almost a week. We have worked on house training by using a marker method and food to let him know that going outside is

30 minutes. He has been sitting for his food. He gets Kong toys filled with cream cheese, hard cheese, or canned food. Since he loves his food, sometimes I freeze the Kong already stuffed so it takes him longer to eat it. Now he is chewing on ME less and less.

LEASH for even five minutes at new places, and ask him to practice the essentials of “watch,” “sit” and “down.” We go to the store, at my lessons, everywhere! When people want to pet him, I always let them, but I stand on his leash so he CANNOT jump up on anyone. Now he gets petting

Every day we work on “Leave it” where I wait until he backs his mouth away from my hand with a treat in it. When he backs away, he gets the treat and I say, “Leave it.” Now he learns that taking his mouth OFF my hand is rewarded. I’ve spent lots of time just watching him and when he does something I want, like “down,” I say “down” and give him a click/treat on the floor in front of him. I do this all the time while he is on the leash tied to my chair at the computer. I have been taking him everywhere in the car IN A CRATE. I don’t want him finding any joy in chewing my van! I get him out ON A

from strangers and doesn’t get any positive reinforcement for jumping. He just gets lots of treats for meeting new people and sitting. My goal right now is for him to meet at least three new people every day! Next week, we are going to introduce greeting children! If you see my van parked and I am around, come and visit Kalidor!

The other part of this is that Kalidor is not allowed to run free through the house unless I am just watching him or playing with him. When he is in the house, he is on a leash next to my chair whether I am watching TV or working on my computer. If I cannot watch him, he is either in his crate (where he gets all his food and other treats), or in an exercise pen I have in the living room.

JON RATED THIS MOVIE

Court Is In Session

Sponsored by your friends at The Weekly Sun BY JONATHAN KANE

uperb acting and a really good script (although, at times, predictable) is a really winning combination for a Hollywood family/courtroom drama. When those two actors are as mighty as Robert Downey, Jr., and Robert Duvall, a film can be elevated to special. Such is the case with “The Judge.” Duvall, at 83, almost steals the picture as the ornery judge of the title, and Downey has never been better (he executive produced the film) as the estranged son and powerhouse Chicago lawyer. Downey has come back to Indiana for the funer-

al of his mother and to help his autistic younger brother, and a terrific Vincent D’Onofrio as his older brother, through the ordeal. Anxious to get home and away from his father, he is suddenly called back when the judge (that’s what everyone calls him) runs over a man that he sentenced to 20 years and who has just been released. Although he has no memory of killing the man, he soon finds himself in his own court under the withering attack of a beautifully understated Billy Bob Thornton as the prosecutor. Although reluctant to hire Downey as his defense attorney, he soon gives in, and the compelling courtroom

battle is on. But the movie is about so much more. It is really about family and the ties that bind. With a layered script co-written by the director David Dobkin, secrets are unveiled and the father and son eventually come to understand each other. Downey also comes to accept his roots, mostly with the help of a terrific Vera Farmiga as his long-estranged high school sweetheart. To say that Downey’s talents have been wasted the last few years in his superhero alter ego is the understatement of the year. But here he finds his footing. We can only hope its not a one-shot deal. tws

Soul Song

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

ecently, I sang with the Caritas Chorale in a concert called “I Hear America Singing,” a production featuring American choral classics. With this event, I once again was overwhelmed with gratitude for being a part of a group of people uniting in practice and performance to connect with each other and the audience in a celebration of life through song. There was a moment when I actually felt my heart stir, singing the simple, loving words of a poem by Robert Frost, “The Pasture.” I was transported to a New England farm scene where the owner invites his quiet partner to join him as he surveys the fields: although he has said, “I won’t be long,” he follows this with a simple phrase, “You come, too.” Those three words, understated but moving, reveal the emotions of a tender partnership. One of the great attractions of the Wood River Valley is the opportunity to gather with a rich assortment of people and sing or

act or play music or dance or just listen in beautiful venues and to be afforded the chance to do so that one might not find in a big city. A few years ago I had some emotional and relationship setbacks. I wallowed in self-pity and sadness for some time and then did two things that pulled me out of a potential fall into an abyss: I joined the choir at St. Thomas church and went to Africa to volunteer at Theresa Grant’s orphanage in Tanzania. Both of those activities relieved my angst better than I expected. The choir, under the direction of Dick Brown, opened up a fellowship with creative artists, and I learned that I am a tenor, “one of the boys.” Eventually, I sang with Patty Parsons and the Hallelujah Chorus and then with Caritas Chorale. The experience in Africa made me again grateful for all I have been given in love, opportunity and education, replacing an absorption with my own travails. I fulfilled one of the most basic needs of humanity—finding ways to use one’s talents to contribute in positive ways to those who have not been

born in a safe and peaceful environment. So, when the new director of Caritas, R.L. Rowsey, winked at pleasure to his singers as we finished on a harmonious chord, I rejoiced that I could be here, in this place, at this time, with these talented singers, and with the amazing people in my home town. Any joint creative effort is rewarding, of course, but oh, what a very special one this was: the joy was contagious. I’ll keep singing the praises of being part of it all.

recently spent a day with my nieces Kelli and Shannon in Texas. Kelli, never a smoker, has been jolted with a diagnosis of stage IV lung cancer. In the midst of facing this life-threatening illness, the medical bills are mounting, threatening her family’s financial life as well. Insurance is refusing to pay for her participation in a prescribed clinical trial at one of the world’s leading cancer hospitals. It’s experimental, they say. Shannon, who suffers from schizophrenia, is freshly timed out of another month-long hospital stay. Caught in the revolving door of mental health care, she has lived in 30 places in 10 years, not including a jail cell and a box on the street. No consistent longterm care is available. Both her mind and her healthcare system are broken and fragmented. In the evening I joined the rest of the family to watch a Dallas Cowboys football game. My brother-in-law presented some facts: One of the players makes close to $1 million a game, with his $108 million six-year contract. The team is now worth over $3 billion. Their

stadium cost $1.2 billion, about 70 percent, incidentally, subsidized by public funds. (As a member of the NFL, the Cowboys are notfor-profit, thus tax-exempt.) Well, here are some facts about mental health: Texas and Idaho are both at the bottom of the heap for mental health care. In 2010, Idaho’s per-capita mental health expenditures were dead last at $36.64 per person (Texas was 49th with $38.99). Meanwhile, Idaho’s suicide rate soars at 48 percent above the national average, as budget cuts for mental health continue. And, regarding the high cost of medical bills? A 2013 study by NerdWallet Health says that unpaid medical bills are expected to be the No. 1 cause of bankruptcy filings, affecting 1.7 million Americans a year.(78 percent of people that file bankruptcy actually have health insurance). Many others deplete their savings or create credit card debt to stay solvent. Meanwhile, the average yearly compensation for health insurance companies’ CEOs in 2013 was just under $14 million. In Chinese medical school we learned that prevention is better than intervention. Chinese doctors, in ancient times, only got paid when the patient stayed well.

As acupuncture students, we followed this wisdom, learning to detect subtle imbalances and correct them before they manifest into serious disorders. But sometimes powerful emotional and biological forces overwhelm the best of us, like Kelli and Shannon. Ancient Chinese wisdom also teaches me to embrace paradox, to hold in one hand two opposing truths. I open my hand. I want to accept that certain people’s fortunes spiral rapidly upward while others, slipping through the cracks, spin swiftly toward the ground. But right now, I can’t even see my hand. I am blinded by my tears.

T H E W E E K LY S U N •

Credit Karma (iPhone) This app provides free credit scores and credit monitoring. With Credit Karma, you can view your score and learn when your credit has changed. The app also helps you be more credit-conscious by giving you credit report cards complete with information about factors affecting your score. State Farm® Pocket Agent® (iPhone, Android) Monitor your State Farm Bank® and Mutual Fund accounts with this convenient app. State Farm Bank customers with at least two Internet-enabled deposit accounts can use the app to transfer funds from one eligible account to another.

Mutual Funds customers can view their account balances and a phone number that can be used to purchase, redeem or exchange shares for most personal investment accounts right from the app. Plus, if you’re ever involved in an accident, the app also lets you “draw” the scene, find a tow truck and contact your State Farm® agent. App Security: Protect your personal information and privacy when downloading apps. Follow these tips: •Download apps from reputable sources (e.g., Apple’s App Store, Google Play). •Read customer reviews and ratings.

DECEMBER 3, 2014

•Look for apps with higher numbers of downloads. •Research the app developer. •Review the app permissions; those outline what information the app has access to once downloaded. •Password-protect your phone and applications in case your device is lost or stolen. Before selecting an app, decide what you want to accomplish, whether it’s monitoring spending, conducting transactions or some other function. And remember, whichever app you choose, it won’t do the work all on its own. If you’re committed to entering, monitoring and using the data, an app can become a very convenient financial assistant.
