“L

et’s all go to the movies!” was the unanimous cry. Not unusual except the movie was “Fifty Shades of Gray” and the moviegoers were all over 70, some well in their 80’s. “Good lives are vital regardless of age,” said photographer Tim Frazier who covered this field trip from the Hailey Senior Citizens Center as part of his ongoing visual project. Frazier, an international photographer and recent Valley resident stated, “I want to show how active and fulfilling the lives of older people can be.” The bus full of “experienced” citizens arrived at the Big Wood 4 Theater before it opened so the group could be photographed. “The general manager, Amber Piirainen, hosted the shoot and really made this whole photo session possible,” Frazier said. “She was wonderful and my models had a great time.” As for the controversial nature of the movie, Helen Chenoweth, 79, summarized it this way, “It really is a good romance.” Clockwise, starting top left: Portrait of Agusta “Gus” Griffen.

andy Patterson is in his second term as mayor of Carey, a position he has held since 2009. He says it will be his last presiding over the official affairs of what he terms “…a bedroom community for the north.” Like other civic leaders of Blaine County communities, Patterson says Carey needs more business growth and more opportunities for new business and economic revitalization, adding that in the case of Carey, this means, among other things, better Internet access.

Patterson’s favorite duty as mayor of Carey is the Heritage Court, which honors women from all over Blaine County for their lifetime of contribution to their communities. The Blaine County women he has “had the privilege of escorting” include Jean Pyrah, Maxine Molyneux, Mary Peterson, Mary Green and Joyce Edwards. Patterson says his least favorite aspect of being mayor of Carey is dealing with people who have complaints but lack the commitment to help find a solution to solve the problem. Before becoming mayor, the 56-year-old Patterson served two terms on the city council from 1998 to 2006 and he views his civic service as having been “…fulfilling and satisfying.” In 2010, Patterson ran unsuccessfully on the conservative Constitution Party ticket for the Idaho State Senate seat for District 25 in an election handily won by Michelle Stennett. He is a strong believer in local control of government and was quoted during his Senate bid, “I believe the best government is government that’s closest to the people. If it can be handled on the city level, it should be handled there. If it can be handled on the county level, it should be handled there.” Patterson is opposed to welfare programs and as Carey mayor has trimmed taxpayer expenses, including $300 to $400 each year that the city spent sponsoring a Christmas tree project for the Blaine Manor nursing home facility in Hailey. He is the third generation of his family to live in Carey, though until he was in the sixth grade, his family moved often due to his father’s highway construction work. At one point he lived in Jerome for eight years, but, he says, “There’s something about Carey that just drew me back. Carey is home.” Randy and his wife Julie own an online mail order business called Time & Money which sells a variety of health supplements, essential oils, foods, cleaning and educational products. The website states: “Our mission is twofold. First, we aim to provide the highest level of quality possible with respect to the products and services that we offer. Second, we strive to create an environment and culture that lends itself to our members’ success. Our belief is that a successful company is built around great people. We will not do anything that is not a win-win proposition for our greatest asset, our people.” tws

The Community Library in Ketchum celebrated 60 years of dedicated service with an anniversary reception and free concert on Wednesday, March 4.

The evening featured a live musical performance and refreshments. Wood River Orchestra provided the music. Delectable baked goods were on hand, courtesy of Cristina’s restaurant. Library festivities were hosted onsite. First conceived as an effort to bring unbiased intellectual beauty to the already rugged beauty of the landscape, The Community Library has grown steadily. Today, the library lists a catalog of over 120,000 books and interactive materials, apart from which are the collection of 500 oral histories, computer access and the library facility itself; a warm and homey space designed for gathering and learning. The current patron list of the library stands at over 15,000 cardholders worldwide. As a civic center, The Community Library prides itself on its nonprofit status. Library cards come free of charge; the library asks no late fees of its patrons and use of its online resources are also free of charge. “It [the library] continues to be one of the few privately funded libraries in the United States,” library officials reported. Aiding in the funding of the library is the legion of

The library receives no dedicated tax-dollar support for its services. Instead, the equally historic fixture of Ketchum’s Gold Mine Thrift Store pledges its support to the library in a business arrangement that sees over 50 percent of the library’s operating costs provided via Gold Mine sales. The March 4 celebratory evening was a culmination of all that the library and its patrons have achieved. “All libraries are about democratic access to ideas, but The Community Library truly exemplifies that spirit,” said Jenny Emery Davidson, the library’s executive director. “All kinds of creative activities happen at the library, and we are excited to bring music into the stacks to celebrate our anniversary and

to highlight the talents of local musicians.” “Librarians are also a great source for local information on our area,” said Cathy Butterfield, a 15-year veteran of the library and the person responsible for collection development. “We want to keep information accessible to our visitors from all over the world.” Exemplifying this aim, the library prepared a test launch of their online ebook site to coincide with the March 4 anniversary date. That web service is intended to allow library patrons access to its ebook materials worldwide. Library staff agrees that the future lies in continued growth of services and programs for its patrons. “We wish to continue to do what we do well,” Butterfield said. Over the course of the coming year, community volunteers and trustees will be honoring those founding persons by recognizing their foundational efforts in making the library what it is today. “This is a spot for the community to come together in sharing life and knowledge,” said Buffy McDonald, reference librarian and herself a nine-year devotee of the library. “We want to continue this [the library] as an open pallet of trust and information.”

That’s A Wrap!

The 4th annual Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF), presented by Zions Bank, wrapped up a successful, fun-packed festival. “We couldn’t be happier with this year’s festival,” said SVFF executive director Teddy Grennan. “We seem to be on a great trajectory with this event. Our ticket and pass sales increased by 20 percent over last year and we had close to 150 filmmakers and other special guests in attendance, including some of the top legends in the industry.” The Festival’s inaugural Lifetime Vision Award was presented to Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, in honor of his long, remarkable, awardwinning career as a visionary filmmaker. Upon receiving the award Eastwood remarked, “I absolutely love Sun Valley. I was lucky enough to make a movie here (‘Pale Rider’), and if I had my way I would hang out here all the time.”

onsumers and audience are people, but we commonly refer to them as “users,” “subscribers,” “IPs” and “emails,” as if they’re humanoids devoid of wants or needs, as if they’re just robots using a service. So, I got this urge to do a social experiment. I wanted to put a face on our community. I wanted to know who they were and what they looked like. So, I called my very talented photographer friend, Coco Knudson, pitched my crazy idea and she immediately signed on. Coco has the ability to capture someone’s essence and put it into a two-dimensional format like no one else. I then called the extraordinary Kathleen McInnis at the Palm Springs International ShortFest, again pitched the idea, and she, too, rallied and embraced this social experiment of community building. This experiment ~ the idea of it ~ has been gnawing away at me for months. There’s no concrete agenda. I just want to celebrate our community and learn a little bit about the people who make up this fabulous world of film. I know the filmmakers and many of the festivals, but I want to know the audience. In the end, we might make a coffee-table book, put up an art installation or create a web series featuring stories about real people, from the filmmakers to the film lovers and everyone in between. There are so many people that make up our community and they are all important. Everyone plays a role. I want to celebrate them. I want to celebrate you.

instilled a sense of exploration in her early on. During her time at Boston’s Emerson College, she satisfied her need for travel by embarking on an around-the-world journey through Semester at Sea where she grew to love photography and the opportunity it gave her to connect, capture, and share. After graduating magna cum laude from Emerson College, Coco moved to Venice Beach, Calif., to pursue a career in photography. Her passion for portraiture led her to the Sun Valley Film Festival, which is where we met. From that moment on a deep bond was formed between the two of us, and that is where the seeds were planted for what is now Faces of IndieFlix, the social experience celebrating all those who love film. Specializing in lifestyle and portraiture photography, Coco continues to develop new projects in Venice, in between travelling the world, quenching her insatiable thirst for capturing life and its essence in purest form. Next up for Scilla and Coco is The Cannes Film Festival in May. Check out their work at http://faces.indieflix.com/event/sun-valley-film-festival.

BY YANNA LANTZ

he goal of the Future Filmmakers Forum, a growing part of the Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF), is to showcase student-made films from locals, greater Idaho and across the nation.

The Festival allows middle school and upper school students to experience filmmaking, the process of submission, attendance to a film festival and the chance to meet kindred artistic spirits and professional filmmakers. This past weekend saw 13 student films, a celeb-packed panel discussion about the future of making movies and a great turnout. Of the 13 student films shown Saturday, March 7, at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey, standouts included “Dear Family,” “Metanoia” and “SKEEZERVILLE.” “They say when you make a movie, you make it three times,” said special guest Bobby Farrelly, one of the famed brothers behind “Dumb and Dumber,” “Shallow Hal” and “There’s Something About Mary.” “You make it when you write it, you make it when you film it, then, you make it again when you edit it and lay the music in. We really saw all of that tonight. Some beautiful filmmaking.” Sarah Lew’s “Dear Family” told the story of a dramatic little girl, played by her sister, who runs away from home and writes to her family of her travels. The six-minute film had Wes Anderson’s eye for aesthetic and showcased the acting talents of Annie Lew, alongside her older sister’s writing. The Lew family

was granted The Hot Shot award for the best national film submitted by a student and received a $500 cash prize from sponsor Big Wood Ski. “Metanoia,” an Idaho submission, depicted a distressed mind flooded with memories and visions of the past. Writer, director and actor Taylor Foetster was presented The Gem State Junior award for the best film submitted by a student from the state of Idaho. He also received a $250 cash prize from Big Wood Ski. Farrelly praised the animated crowd standout, “SKEEZERVILLE.” Will Nordstrom (age 12) and Jack Nordstrom (age 14) created the hilarious animated short, which follows the lives of young schoolboys. The audience was rolling in the aisles. “The film was really really funny,” Farrelly said. “The film was about seven minutes… I think I counted about 22 laughs. That’s pretty damn good.” In addition to the showcase of films at The Liberty Theatre, a panel discussion also took place for the Future Filmmakers this past Friday at The Spot in Ketchum. Stephen “Zemo” Crisman, an award-winning documentary producer and director, Scott Harris, founder of Innovative Artists with Howard Goldberg, and Josh Pate, screenwriter, director and producer, joined Farrelly for the discussion about the evolving world of film. Advice from the panel included perseverance, dedication and passion. “Break the mold,” Farrelly said. “Do something you haven’t seen before. Try something new. Don’t just do what everyone else is doing.” tws

This reconfiguration primarily focuses on the relocation of the airport taxiway, west of the runway. As a result, the airport passenger terminal and parking lot were also required to be reconfigured. In order to accomplish these projects in a timely manner and with the least possible impact to our traveling public, the airport will be closed from 8:00 am, Sunday, April 26, till 12:00 pm, Wednesday, May 20. This is a very efficient and aggressive schedule, in order to minimize any inconvenience to the public. During this period, the terminal will be inaccessible to the public for the conduct of any business. Any specific questions regarding a terminal business activity should be directed to that particular business. Insofar as the UPPER terminal parking lot (Lot ‘A’) is scheduled for reconstruction at this same time, we request that people with travel plans encompassing this time frame (April 26 – May 20) please leave their automobiles parked in the LOWER terminal parking lot (Lot ‘B’). Automobiles left in the upper terminal parking lot will be moved to the lower terminal parking lot, with no liability to Friedman Memorial Airport.

Caritas Chorale Takes On Broadway

Music Director R.L. Rowsey has selected some of his all-time favorite Broadway songs created by American masters Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim for Caritas Chorale to perform March 14, 15 and 16 onstage at the Community Campus Theatre in Hailey, accompanied by pianist Dorinda Rendahl and showcasing solos by internationally recognized soprano Michelle Rios. And, if being entertained is not enough, the community is invited to join the fun by singing-along with the Chorale at the Monday, March 16, show. Concerts will be Saturday, March 14, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 15, at 5 p.m. The Community Campus Theatre is at 1050 Fox Acres Road, Hailey. The performance is free. Donations that make it possible to continue this concert series are gratefully accepted.

While healing is the main purpose of St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, there’s more that takes place inside. Unique gifts, art exhibits and even great food can all be found inside the doors of the hospital.

“Retail Therapy,” the appropriate name of the gift shop, is located directly inside the front doors of the hospital and is run solely by a group of 22 volunteers who do everything to keep the store up and running. “We’re a very eclectic shop,” said Terri LeFaivre, who is volunteer manager of the gift shop and who sits on the St. Luke’s Volunteer Core Board. “From candy, baby gifts and clothes, to spa items, stuffed animals, purses, jewelry and more, we have a little bit of everything.” The gift shop is also where you’ll find See’s Candy in the Valley. “Everyone loves that we have See’s Candy, and during

the different holidays, we’ll get people calling in to see what’s in stock and come by on their way to and from work,” LeFaivre said. The funds raised from the gift shop go directly to the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation and remain in the Wood River Valley. The mission statement for the foundation is: “To advance innovative programs and services that fundamentally improve healthcare experiences in our community.” “Funds are used in a variety of ways,” explained Megan Thomas, executive director of the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation. “For example, to help out with the car seat program, as well as the major fundraising initiative for the foundation to help programs such as the women’s imaging center and pediatrics.” “The hospital staff is fully supportive of the gift shop,” said LeFaivre. “They buy candy and other gifts, as well as gifts for patients, especially children.

One nurse purchased a stuffed bear for a small patient who broke their arm and the bear got a cast just like the patient. They’re just a very caring hospital.” And visitors can’t miss Lollipop, a giant giraffe in front of the gift shop. Children of all ages can be found admiring Lollipop and even a few adults. It’s a great welcome to the shop and the hospital itself. Inside the hospital, visitors can also see a wide variety of art displayed along the walls. “The art program exists with the intention to create a healing space for our patients,” Thomas stated. “We have an intensive permanent collection thanks to our generous community, and we also have an exhibit that rotates twice a year and gives local artists an opportunity to display their artwork.” The artwork is not just for the patients; visitors and locals are welcome to come view the art as well. Retail Therapy is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call ahead to find out what they have in stock, 208-727-8725. Additionally, if artists are interested in donating or showcasing their work, call 208-727-8444.

Opportunity Beckons With Girls On The Run Call for Youth Board Applications

A 12-year tradition in the Wood River Valley, Girls on the Run is active in coaching and mentoring area girls in reaching their potential. Courtesy photo

“Having youth voices on our board of directors has been extremely invaluable.”

Mary Fauth

Executive Director BY P.M. FADDEN

Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley (GTR), a life changing, experiential learning program for girls eight to 13-years-old (third through eighth grade) is seeking youth board position applicants.

“The candidate should possess the following traits: honesty, sensitivity to and respect for differing views, a friendly, responsive and patient approach, community-building skills, personal integrity, concern for the development of Girls on the Run and a sense of humor,” stated GTR online applicant data. Submission deadline for applications is Mar. 31. GTR has a 12-year tradition in the community, with over 1,300 girls having benefited from the program’s assistance in that time. Each program runs 10 to 12 weeks and consists of three stages taught by certified coaches. The curriculum begins with self-understanding, moves to recognizing value in others and teamwork and concludes with the students’ understanding of their connection to the world around them and how they might shape it. “Through the organization, girls of all ethnicities and backgrounds are brought together,” Mary Fauth said, executive director of the Wood River program. Applicants to the youth advocate position must be prepared to meet a list of requirements and responsibilities. Each applicant should be a current student at a Blaine County school between the ninth and 11th-grade level and be prepared to serve a term of 13 months, running May 1 to June 1 of the next year. During that period, the applicant is expected to attend at least two-thirds of all related meetings and a minimum of one practice session with program participants each spring and fall. An applicant is well served to maintain a strong knowledge base of program/ committee matters as well as a familiarity with fellow board members and program supporters with the associated goal of continuing to spread information about the program and upcoming activities throughout their

area. “Having youth voices on our board of directors has been extremely invaluable,” Fauth said. Program participants, in any role, are working together toward the advancement of how young women see and value themselves. The successful candidate not only meets the professional requirements above but also evinces a core value set compatible with the program itself. The applicant is able to embrace individual differences and facilitate strength through connectedness. The applicant should care for the physical, mental and spiritual health of not only themselves but those around them, as well. Through the recognition of that health, an applicant is then able to utilize the power to act with responsible intent when making decisions. GTR hopes to discover applicants who lead with open hearts and positive intent, allowing applicants to “stand up for the program, as well as others.” “Girls that have experienced the GTR program when they were younger have unique insight into how it has affected them along their path of sports, athletics and other goal-setting experiences,” Fauth said. “We hope to give these alumnae an opportunity to learn how a nonprofit organization works while allowing them to provide their own sort of mentorship to younger girls currently going through the program.” For further information on GTR or the application process, call Mary Fauth at 208788-7863 or visit www.girlsontherunwrv.org.

The Girls on the Run programming is community based and consists of three stages of mentoring/coaching over a 10 to 12 week period.

Meet Lindee! Lindee is absolutely adorable. She’s quite petite, and she appears to be an English Pointer, perhaps mixed with a sled dog,or northern breed, as she has some blue in her eyes. She is very friendly with other dogs and here at the Shelter seemed relaxed with cats. She’ll need an active adopter, as she is a breed who would like daily exercise. She’s friendly with everyone she meets and has a very easygoing nature, so we feel she would be fine for active first time adopters. We feel she’d make a lovely family dog, and she’s looking forward to finding her forever home!

Local Food For Thought Cottage Food Bill To Support Local Food BY JULIA PAGE

Forty states have passed legislation in the last several years to legalize foods that have been prepared in private kitchens. Idaho has yet to pass such a law, but the Idaho Organization of Resource Councils (IORC) is leading a grassroots campaign to introduce legislation to legalize cottage food operations in Idaho.

House Bill 187 was introduced in the Idaho House Health and Welfare Committee on Feb. 24. The legislation would legalize foods identified as non-potentially hazardous (baked goods, fresh and refrigerated salsas, jellies and jams, and more) to be made in a home or on-farm kitchen, as long as the products are sold direct to the consumer. The campaign has built momentum in the past month, gaining support from food industry groups and signing on eight legislative co-sponsors. Non-commercially certified home and private kitchens currently aren’t addressed in state statute. This contributes to inconsistent enforcement across Idaho’s seven different health districts. By passing a cottage food bill, IORC is working to create a statewide industry that is regulated consistently across health districts. A cottage food bill in Idaho could be the largest business-creating bill in the 2015 legislative session. Cottage food laws in other states have created hundreds of new businesses and provided for an added-value outlet for many producers. Under a cottage food law, a farmer who does not sell all of his or her vegetables at the farmers market has the opportunity to turn the extra produce into a new product. Cottage food laws support the local food movement and provide consumers with a new freedom to purchase food direct from their community members. To help support the passage of a cottage food law in the 2015 legislature, please sign the petition at: http://goo.gl/ hGmijE. The Idaho Organization of Resource Councils is a grassroots, multi-issue nonprofit, organizing members across the state. To support the cottage food bill, visit our website at www.IORCinfo.org. Julia Page is chair of the Idaho Organization of Resource Councils. She lives in Boise with her husband, Pat Ford.

Three Cheers For ‘Lifties’

Dollar Mountain lift operators and ticket checkers Raffaella Molinari, Wendy Charaja and Maureen Van Amerongeon go about their daily duties with a smile. Photo by P.M. Fadden BY P.M. FADDEN

Everyone’s invited, so come and settle in as we get to know a wonderful community friend: They come from near and far. Some have journeyed halfway around the globe to get here; others live right next door. They are students, travelers and career ski bums. They are lift operators, and they are our indispensible friends on the mountain.

“We [the lifties] are all friends here, which is a nice thing,” said Wendy Charaja. “And being here in Sun Valley has given me the opportunity to learn to ski ~ something I never thought I would be able to do in my life.” Alberto Vazquez loves being a lift operator and being a part of the Wood River Valley community. It is the good people and the fun atmosphere that makes standing outside exposed to all winter’s elements worthwhile. “Every one of my last four years working here has been awesome,” Vazquez said. “We’ve got some fun people here and some really good times.” The early rises and crisp chill of morning is all right by recent Wisconsin transplant Maureen Van Amerongeon. Maureen’s day is all about seeing others stoked on skiing, and she’s not alone. Every lift operator, both on Dollar and on Baldy, loves the mountains and the lifestyle of living among them. “I love this area,” Van Amerongeon said. “I went west for love.” So cheers to the lifties. First chair wouldn’t be possible without them. So there you have it, and now you know. That’s one more degree bringing us closer to home.

Fresh Start

By Brennan Francisco Rego Keffer

This is a poem about language, free speech, saying what one means, meaning what one says, litigation, legislation, the general situation. Welcome to Cogito Rego Sum Media, Century 21 and the reBeat generation., let’s play... ~b

Misdirection Interdiction By Brennan Rego Start; This is an interdiction. What the free world and press speak Is a sound-bite loop. And it reeks Of misused diction, Like adding a pinch of information leaks To my fresh, organic, Idaho potato soup. Ol’ Twain advises minimum sound For maximum sense. I say howl with humor, ’cause we’ve lost all the cents To pay our nation’s sensational rent. Billions o’ folk on this one-planet noose, A few too many for us to walk a mile ~ Or the plank ~ in all o’ their shoes Through the nuclear icebergs and radioactive refuse. Yet we’re all chitchatting our concepts, Like everyone’s an electron spitting its nonsense On a baseball whacked with an ill spin by the bat ~ Headed smack-dab toward off track, Soaring for the foul With no chance, But to fall out the ghoulish maw Of modern parlance. We’re in need of a redirection Trajectory projection. Now, let me access The linguistic mainframe directory. Ahh, here it is: The new heading for a national speechectomy! Yeah, you can invent new words too, But they may have no effect on me. To be perfectly honest, Only certain phonemes truly, deeply affect me. Perhaps I’m naive, or inconceivably Ernest, But I am indeed human, so don’t hem my way and don’t misdirect me. Th e W e e k l y S u n •

Instead, we must choose with heightened conviction The lingo we use, Conscript more concrete descriptions And evict all deceptive, small-print encryptions. Let’s also exile the crutch-word afflictions. E.g. “um”, “uh”, “like” and “you know”, Q.E.D. And silence the virulent pestilence Of pink-elephant, white-noise irrelevance. And teal-donkey disconnection To beneficial progression. Both parties are held in the clouds, glimpsing only reflections Of the world’s real, rare, productively constructive erections. ;~} When we speak, let’s do so with eloquence, Booming confident tones That land points With relevant resonance. What a phrase expresses Ain’t always the same as its essence. So let’s say what we mean. And mean what we say; And, wean our way out Of this unspeakably malevolent drought. Let’s nurse common sense back to health. Now, wouldn’t that be quite excellent? I’m fed up to the heart with this. Yes, I’m incredulous, Indubitably dubious, Lugubrious At the state of affairs And the affairs of our statesmen, Who don’t dare orate statements Demanding the abatement Of the murder of talk. I’m tired of seeing sound thought Strewn on the pavement, Outlined in chalk. They’d rather legislate for increased litigation, With their sentiments buried in sediment Toward the grave miscommunication impediment That’s crippling this nation’s future development. Best beware of bad words; it all boils down To garden-grown potatoes and leeks and levelheaded simplicity. To stop this toxicity from harshing our heads, I speak: enough B.S. said. “Campfire Rain” is The Weekly Sun’s editorial voice by Publisher & Editor Brennan Rego.

Touristy! On Life’s Terms

BY JOELLEN COLLINS

When I travel, I try not to “act” like a tourist. However, I realize I may have missed some exciting sights and events through this avoidance. This time, as I am with my family in San Francisco, a city I think I know, I have taken the ferry to Alcatraz, a place I have never visited, though was fascinated with as a child.

Innumerable stars light the Sun Valley sky. Photo by Kat Hoffman

Starry Night BY YANNA LANTZ

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” ~ Vincent Van Gogh

I’m a straight-up transplant, and proud of it. My “extended vacation” in the Wood River Valley began this past summer after a year of seeing no stars in Los Angeles. Stars have always been fascinating to me. From the time I entered the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in New Hampshire and saw dancing stars, vast nothingness and the wide expanse and colors of our improbable universe, I was hooked. For weeks at a time I’d pour over episodes of “Dr. Who” on Netflix. I’d dream about seeing the flash of green in a perfect

sunset that sends the waking world into night. Don’t even get me started on the images from The Hubble. I bought a telescope. Some of my most vivid childhood memories are from watching meteor showers at 2 a.m. on school nights with my father and a crate of Dunkin’ Donuts and hot chocolate. But a whole year without stars? No one should have to put up with that. I honestly didn’t realize the profound effect their absence had on me till I arrived in Idaho. While I was in Los Angeles, I didn’t dream. I trudged through my life, stuck in sickness and caught in my own despair ~ caught in the fumes of traffic and fluorescent light for hours at a time. The smog consumed the sky and me. Here, I dream constantly.

The community of artists here is no mistake or mishap. When I watched the moon rise over the mountain for the first time, I thought it was an air balloon. No way could the moon be that big. Alas, it was. When I see the twinkling stars from my patio and realize, “Oops, that’s actually Jupiter. Wait, I can see Jupiter?!” Alas, I can. When I hear and see the million dreams in my head through the starry sky at night, I wonder, will I have an impact? Will my life mean something? I am convinced it will. I have something to dream on, something to motivate me and coax my visions from the right half of my brain. The stars are bright, and so is our future if we dream on them. tws

There have always been reasons not to go: difficult parking, too many people, bad weather or, as I must admit, so many other more “in” things to do every day with my many friends here. I imagine I sound like an intellectual snob, and if that is apt, then I am the person who has most suffered from that characteristic, limiting the access to notable places. I went to Alcatraz last Saturday with hundreds of other people on an exceptionally warm day (the last of February), with my daughter and friends from L.A. We were on a double mission, learning about this infamous penitentiary, but also seeing the powerful emotive work of the famous Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei. Weiwei, with the help of San Francisco art curators and lovers, has sent work for assembly and display in a groundbreaking show, filling several locations inside the prison. While many aspects of the exhibit and tour affected me, a couple of intense conclusions remain. One, of course, is Alcatraz itself, and the haunting reality of the very small cells that faced the men sent there. Some contained remnants of prisoners’ activities, such as books, paper, paint and chessboards. In the visitor area, guests spoke through a very small window, deep enough in the walls to prevent contact. The overall impression was of thick air and claustrophobia,

with the only freedom possible one of the mind. I have read much of prisons, but being in one and being able to inhabit those tiny spaces, even briefly, was daunting. Can we feel empathy even for criminals? The second, almost clichéd conclusion, in conjunction with Weiwei’s art, is gratitude for freedom. Irony is evident in free expression shown amidst dreary walls. One of the artist’s pieces was a massive “paper” dragon, whose eyes were drawn as Twitter icons, through which dissidents around the world have occasionally been able to communicate. One dragon piece (all representing countries where free speech is forbidden) simply states, “I want to vote,” inscribed amidst vibrant floating colors. Another noted that we might all be “prisoners.” Images of huge metal bird wings in the mental ward, deliberately hard to see from the windows above, reminded viewers of society’s wish to hide its deranged, ill, or otherwise “difficult” populations. The city’s increasing presence of the homeless reinforces this conflict. In short, Weiwei’s words say it all: “When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.” I wish I could fly with Weiwei’s tws brilliance.

Blair Baker #greendotsv Investing in her future

BY THE ETCS

Many of you frequent Weekly Sun readers are aware of what the Green Dot program is about. If you are not so aware of what Green Dot is, it is a nationwide program, movement and action committed to ending power-based violence; this includes bullying, dating violence, harassment, sexual assault and stalking.

“It really doesn’t matter how many events we put on. It’s just important that people are feeling better about themselves and that they are feeling loved.” BY JONATHAN KANE Blair Baker, a Community School junior with a 4.22 grade point average, has a passion for learning. “It’s what drives me,” Baker said. “But learning is not necessarily academic. I don’t think learning just includes that. You should always be looking to improve your life. I like to think a lot and I like to take the time to understand my own thoughts. It’s also important to be super compassionate and empathetic toward others and to understand them.” Baker was born and raised in the Wood River Valley. “It’s been a mix of things,” she said. “I grew up very much in a bubble, which is a good thing and a bad thing. The good part is that you get to know people and surround yourself with them and you get to know them really well. The downside is that resources can be pretty limited. The only thing you really know is what’s around here, but as much as I want to get out of here, I’ll really miss it.” Baker started at the Community School in first grade. “I love it there,” Baker said. “It’s very inspiring in all aspects and all the outdoor programs cultivate really strong relationships between peers and parents and teachers. The academics are pretty difficult, but in the best way possible. The teachers are really great and keep you challenged, or, if you get bored, they understand that students have busy lives, but

they still hold you to a higher standard.” Baker’s favorite subject is English leaning toward literature. “I like it because people are able to give a ton of opinions on one subject and you can reflect on your life through one subject. A lot of authors share their philosophy on the world and you can see it through their lives.” Baker cites as her favorites the romantic poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats and William Blake. At school, she is head of the Ambassadors Club. “Last spring I was thinking about the school and a way to make it a kinder and happier place and to strengthen morale. I spoke to the head of the Upper School and was told that someone was needed to take over leadership of the club. Basically, we promote leadership and kindness school-wide and put on events. One of these was the Chinese New Year dinner we put on at the dorms. “We also have a thank-you jar at school where people write down what they are thankful for and then we read them at assembly. When it’s your birthday, we have a big poster for you for people to sign at the entrance of the school. “It really doesn’t matter how many events we put on. It’s just important that people are feeling better about themselves and that they are feeling loved.” tws

Green Dot acknowledges the important role bystanders play in being able to reduce the numbers of power-based personal violence by intervening when they see someone committing an act or potential act of harm. A study by the University of Kentucky’s Center for Research on Violence Against Women found that schools that have had Green Dot training have seen a 50 percent reduction in sexual violence and 40 percent reduction in overall violence over a five-year period. One of the objectives that Green Dot carries is to create strategies and implement plans in communities. As a result, we have created a social media campaign with the intention of raising awareness and encouraging bystanders to step in and take actions against potential acts of power-based violence. To participate in the campaign, sim-

ply upload a photo of you holding a green dot onto Instagram, tell us about a time that you have stepped in as a bystander, and hashtag #greendotsv and @buildsafelives. A fellow ETC uploaded a photo and wrote, “About a year ago, a friend of mine was heavily intoxicated and she wasn’t completely in control of her actions. When someone told me that a guy took her outside and they didn’t come back, I immediately ran outside and started calling her name. When I found them, I confronted the guy and asked what they were doing. I directly involved myself in the situation and intervened when I thought things could go wrong. My friend needed assistance, and I wasn’t going to be a bystander and let a potentially dangerous situation happen. Confrontation isn’t a bad thing, especially when you’re helping someone you care about.” After posting and hashtagging your photo, you will be entered into a raffle to win a $100 cash prize, local gift cards and a two-person raft trip. Show us your Green Dot and help spread a new community norm where everyone works together to end violence.

Love Lost For The Lost Generation

BY ADAM BOHRER

he interface for sexual pursuit is now a screen: a hollow, pixelated, digital conveyance of lonely lust. Social media has not improved upon the often alcohol-infused bar scene, but only reinforced the random pursuit of pleasure by cutting to the chase. The game is now much more efficient, and it is much more hostile to any romance. In this new courting strategy there is little need for conversation. Why bother? The goal is not to wake up the next morning and go for a walk holding hands. Hook-up culture has become a foundation of the American mating ritual, and it is driven by the ability to consume one another. You can log in to a dating site and look for your next fling from the comfort of your couch. This is hardly dating; this is shopping. Yet, let’s be real: the pull is fun; its efficiency is rewarding; and we all share base instincts. Is this not the ultimate freedom? Perhaps, but hunting from the side of the road has never been seen as courageous, just easy ~ easy meat for a lazy point-and-shoot. Somewhere along the way the adventure of romance has been lost. Shades of grey now pervade our love lives to the point that commitment is really not very desirable, because that requires a lot of effort and restraint, and Disney never

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

taught us that anyway. Now, like the rest of American culture, love is about quantity, not quality. If you do not like something about the person you are with, go on Tinder and swipe for someone else. Then do it all over again. You can ride this carousel for as long as you want, because there really is no shortage of single people these days. Why risk breaking your heart when Tinder is always available? Underlying this momentous trend is the question, “How much of this reality have we created?” Settling down is a process of planning for the future and making a life and a home. Unfortunately, Millennials have learned that the American dream is evaporating. What plans can we realistically make when all around us we bear witness to decay? The only progress is in technology, which is where we find comfort and intimacy. There are few jobs available now to support the standard of living in which we were raised. Making ends meet is a struggle, and having a family is a burden few can comfortably carry. We all have to work hard for money in the present, but planning for the future is seemingly futile if the economy fails us again. As finances are a primary driver of divorce, lacking the sufficient means upfront surely correlates with disinterest toward marriage and

MARC H 1 1 , 2 0 1 5

family. For those who have taken the leap of faith and have made families, they are the courageous ones who, despite the odds, are choosing to hold civilization up. For those of us who keep swiping, there can be no assurances, as we have made none. Perhaps, that is the fault we have chosen to make for the conveniences of sexual freedom. But, when lost in the jungle, it may be best to just keep moving on. Adam Bohrer grew up in Sun Valley and now resides in Boise.

Eiffel’s Church (La Iglesia De Eiffel)

BY ANA MARIA CUNEO

In English

On the east coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, overlooking the Sea of Cortés, lies a sleepy little town called Santa Rosalía. Unlike the rest of Baja’s settlements, Santa Rosalía was built in the French style. But what makes the town proud is its church.

In 1885, a French geologist from the House of Rothschild acquired rights to a copper mine in the area, establishing the Boleo Mining Company. In a short time, the company developed Santa Rosalía’s infrastructure, building new roads and water lines, as well as attracting ranchers and farmers to supply the miners with everything they needed. The town began to flourish, but the one thing Santa Rosalía still didn’t have was a church. As luck would have it, Alexander Gustave Eiffel, the engineer who designed the famous Eiffel Tower of Paris, was building a prototype for missionary churches intended for France’s tropical colonies in Africa. The result was a very strong prefabricated, galvanized iron church that was so well made that it could withstand a hurricane. Eiffel exhibited his church in the Paris World’s Exposition of 1889, alongside his masterpiece ~ the Eiffel Tower. The little church’s originality and sturdiness caught the attention of the judges, who awarded it first prize for design. When the Exposition came to an end, Eiffel stored his church in a Brussels warehouse, where it remained, collecting dust. In 1894, the wives of the French engineers working at the mine decided to resolve their need for a place of worship. With that purpose, they dispatched to Europe the company’s director, who acquired Eiffel’s creation and shipped it to Santa Rosalía, where it was later consecrated as “Iglesia de Santa Bárbara.” Some people doubt the provenance of the church, but once inside, the undeniable work of an artist is evident and consistent with Eiffel’s style. Today, Santa Rosalía attracts many tourists who don’t come to see the saguaro-spotted landscape, the

pristine beaches or the majestic mountains. They all come to see Eiffel’s little church.

Student’s corner

Can you find Santa Rosalía on a map of Mexico? En Español

En la costa este de la península mexicana de Baja California, dominando las aguas del Mar de Cortés, yace un pueblito dormilón llamado Santa Rosalía. Al contrario de las otras poblaciones de Baja, fue construido en el estilo francés; pero el orgullo del pueblo es su iglesia. En 1885, un geólogo francés de la Casa de Rothschild, adquirió en esa zona los derechos de una mina de cobre, formando la Compañía Minera Boleo. En poco tiempo, la compañía desarrolló la infraestructura de Santa Rosalía, construyendo caminos nuevos y líneas para la conducción de agua, así como también atrayendo rancheros y granjeros para proveer a los mineros con todo lo necesario. Santa Rosalía comenzó a prosperar, pero lo único que todavía no tenía era una iglesia. Por suerte, en esa época, Alejandro Gustavo Eiffel, el ingeniero que diseñó la famosa Torre Eiffel de Paris, estaba construyendo un prototipo para iglesias misioneras destinadas a las colonias francesas tropicales en África. El resultado fue una iglesia pre-fabricada, de fuerte hierro galvanizado, que estaba tan bien hecha que podía resistir un huracán. Eiffel exhibió su iglesia en la Exposición Mundial de Paris en 1889, al lado de su obra maestra – la Torre Eiffel. La originalidad y robustez de la pequeña iglesia llamaron la atención de los jueces, quienes le otorgaron el primer premio por diseño. Cuando la exposición llegó a su fin, Eiffel almacenó su iglesia en una bodega de Bruselas, donde permaneció acumulando polvo. En 1894, las esposas de los ingenieros franceses que trabajaban en la mina, decidieron resolver su necesidad de tener un lugar de devoción. Con ese

objetivo, despacharon a Europa al director de la compañía, quien adquirió la creación de Eiffel y la envió a Santa Rosalía, donde luego fue consagrada como Iglesia de Santa Bárbara. Algunos dudan la procedencia de la iglesia pero una vez adentro, el trabajo indiscutible de un artista es evidente y consistente con el estilo de Eiffel. Hoy, Santa Rosalía atrae muchos turistas quienes no vienen a ver el paisaje salpicado de saguaros, las playas inmaculadas o las montañas majestuosas. Todos vienen a ver la iglesita de Eiffel.

‘Still Alice’ Downward Retreat Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

Alzheimer’s disease is devastating for both the unfortunate soul suffering from it, as well as, or maybe more so, for that individual’s loved ones.

In the new movie, “Still Alice,” the whole panorama of pain is revealed in an insightful portrait of the ravages of its early onset ~ in this case for a brainy Columbia University professor of linguistics who receives the diagnosis at the tender young age of 50. Unless you have been living in a cave, you probably know that the movie’s star, Julianne Moore, won an Oscar for her performance as Alice. And a remarkable performance it truly is. In subtle, restrained fashion, we watch Alice’s deterioration from the early scene of forgetting words during a presentation, to her getting lost on campus while out jogging, to the confirmation of her dreaded diagnosis. Moore’s ability to convey the fear and confusion, as well as the deadening of her mind, through Alice’s eyes, is remarkable. In perhaps the film’s most powerful sequence, the still coherent Alice has taped a message to her deteriorated future self on how to commit suicide. Later in the film, we

MARC H 1 1 , 2 0 1 5

watch in anguish as the deteriorated Alice tries to make sense of it all. The difference between the performances is palpable and probably earned Moore the award all on its own. The movie is based on the best-selling novel by Lisa Genova and the film is written and directed by the married couple, Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland; it is the latters’ talent and script that lift this movie above being just another TV movie-of-the-week about disease. Moore plays off of Alec Baldwin, as her husband, and Kristen Stewart in an eye-opening performance as the younger, rebellious daughter that eventually becomes her mother’s caretaker and soul mate. It’s not an easy film, but one that demands to be seen.

Jonathan Kane is a graduate of the University of Michigan.

Time For Three

“This is going to be like nothing you’ve ever heard before,” Sun Valley Summer Symphony Music Director Alasdair Neale told Wood River High School students. Of course. That’s because nothing like Project Tf3 has ever happened before. The three-year collaboration of the genre-defying musical trio Time for Three, the symphony, school and community is perhaps a first in artistic cooperation.

Twenty-six teams of six participants each skied, socialized, raced, dressed up and raised money for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. It was the 18th annual event and is the leading fundraiser for the SVSEF. The theme this year was “Go Tell It On The Mountain” celebrating the great mountain culture in the Wood River Valley. Teams chose names after ski runs on Dollar and Bald mountains or chose a different name from another favorite mountain. Teams used their imaginations for their names and costumes throughout the three-day event. The six-person teams were comprised of four amateur skiers and two pros: a celebrity pro that is a current or former Olympian, national team member or ski professional and a junior pro who is a current member of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. The Janss Pro-Am featured dual giant slalom racing for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Some notable pros that participated included Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation alumni and 2015 Olympic gold medalist for women’s snowboard halfpipe, Kaitlyn Farrington, as well as 2014 Olympic gold medalist for women’s skier halfpipe, Maddie Bowman. Other notable pros included current World Cup and world championship team alpine racer Hailey Duke. Former U.S. Ski Team members who also participating as pros included

Mike Hattrup, Kyle Weiche, Craig Sabina, Andy Chambers and others. The Janss Pro-Am Classic is named in honor of Bill Janss, who bought the Sun Valley Resort from Union Pacific Railroad in the fall of 1964. Janss was also a former member of the U.S. Olympic ski team. During the Janss era, several chairlifts and ski runs were added to Bald Mountain. A great local event and fundraiser such as the Janss Pro-Am wouldn’t be the event it is without costumes and parties, and both were in plentiful supply throughout the weekend. The weekend kicked off on Thursday with the opening celebration party and pro presentation at the Olympic Bar at Michel’s Christiania in Ketchum. Friday saw practice runs and handicapping runs on Lower Warm Springs, lunch at the Janss headquarters tent and an après-ski party and live music at Whiskey Jacques’ that featured Hell’s Belles, the world-famous all-female AC/DC tribute band. Saturday was race day with the dual giant slalom qualifying and final runs on Lower Warm Springs, lunch and the awards celebration dinner and dance in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn. The SVSEF has deep roots in Sun Valley. The organization was formed by the Sun Valley Ski Club back in 1963. Founding committee members include recent 2014 Ski Hall of Fame inductee Jack Simpson. Other original committee members include Jane Kneeland and Pete Lane. Their mission was to place local racers on Junior National as

well as Olympic teams. The SVSEF website states that the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation is dedicated to providing exceptional snow sport programs for the youth of the Wood River Valley. The primary goal of the program is to assist each participant in reaching his or her athletic potential, while developing a positive attitude and strong personal character.

Album cover for “Far From Here” by Andrew Sheppard. Courtesy image BY AIRIKA GOODPASTURE

Hailey native and singer/songwriter Andrew Sheppard is on his way to putting Idaho on the map in the music world.

Last Friday night during the Sun Valley Film Festival, the five Idaho natives of Andrew Sheppard Music created an atmosphere at the historic Casino bar, which was truly no less than perfect. These guys packed an undeniable power onstage that not only had the bar full the entire night, but it had everyone on their feet. No matter if attendees were 21 or 79, they were on the floor dancing at some point, if not all night long. Take a little bit of soul, a little bit of rock and roll; add a twinge of Americana Western and the result is one live show you just can’t miss. The energy between the members is not only electrifying, it is one of a kind and it will leave audiences wanting more. Sheppard’s vocals are spectacular, to say the least ~ authentic and rarely found. Powerful alone, but when backed by his long-term friends and band members Wes Walsworth (electric guitar), Cole Wells (steel guitar), Nick Archibal (electric bass) and Drew Thomseth (drums),

this is one live band that will leave listeners feeling satisfied, yet wanting more all at the same time. Each band member is local to Idaho and each has a long history in the music field, both locally and non-local. The band has found a combination of musicians that is enticing, honest and well sought after. Sheppard was born in Hailey and spent a majority of his life traveling. He returned to Idaho to write the album “Far From Here” and to reconnect with longtime friend, band member and producer of the album, Wes Walsworth. It was the influence of coming back to his roots in Sun Valley and the musical relationship between Sheppard and Walsworth that resulted in an album full of bare heart and raw talent. Through support of local business, the band spent 10 days in-studio recording the new album. It was recorded in Los Angeles at Bed Rock Studios and is now finally ready to be released. Sheppard chose to release the album in Sun Valley with hopes of gaining more local support within his community. The album release party is this Friday night, March 13, at Whiskey Jacques’ in Ketchum. What is in the future for the

local boys is beyond the limits. They are in the process of writing their second album as well as working on releasing a single. They have hopes to start touring at some point this year, as well as start production of music videos. Check out more on Andrew Sheppard at www.facebook.com/ andrewsheppardmusic. Also, don’t forget to check out the release party this Friday, March 13, at Whiskey Jacques’. Doors open at 9 p.m. and there is a $5 cover.

RAISING KIDS IN BLATANT COUNTY, IDAHO

It takes a village

(of idiots stewards)...

GAMES FOR TOTS Over the years of raising children, I've been fortunate enough to have been assigned the task of entertaining the little tots by creating games. For all of you moms and dads out there, here are a few which might help you in your quest to make the little boogers smile. HIDE AND GO HIDE: I kind of like this one. The object is everyone goes and hides. You tell your kids you'll count up to 5000 while they go hide. Then, you put on your cassette tape recorder which you've pre-recorded with number counting and turn it all the way up. Then, you go hide. This should give you 30 to 35 minutes of quiet. SWING THE CAT OFF THE BALCONY: This is fun. I use the tailgrip myself and find with a couple of roundhouse revolutions, one can propel our little furry friend to great heights and lengths to the delight of the little children. JAM THE DISHWASHER: Fun for mom. Gather up all the toys and say, "It's time to clean." Then cram all the toys into the dishwasher and put it on full cycle with lots and lots of pretty blue Calgon to help everything come out with no spots. Boy! What a great noise! BARBIE AND KEN IN SLACK: Dress Barbie and Ken in rags and scotch tape 75 to 80 dun notices all over their bodies and set them outside the house on the porch until the Fourth of July. Let's see how they like it. IDENTICAL TOYS: Buy three or four of the same toys and pass them out to your kids. Then tell each one the other one has their toy. It's fun to watch what happens. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: this game is educational and allows the toddlers to use their thought processes on where to heave the food they don't like. Food such as green beans, kale, rice, and spinach. I've personally seen them throw food in the darndest places. Ha.

SUPERMARKET FUN: Give each child a basket or sack and put them in the pantry and tell them the store closes in five minutes. Then, to get out they must have their basket or sack full and slip all their ad bucks under the door. For optional fun? Turn off the light… Yeah, boy. LET'S GO TO THE BEACH: Baths are fun, but what makes them better is to create a beach in front of the bathtub, which, of course, is the ocean. Have the kids fill their buckets with sand outdoors and bring them in to dump on the bath mat. If they can't find sand, any kind of dirt will do. In the past, my kids have also dumped thing's on the beach they saw in real life, like pop bottles, oil slicks, and cigarette butts. The more realism they display, the more you realize how aware they've become. PHONE REVERSE: Let the kids answer the phone with a twist. When the phone rings, each one in turn will pick up the receiver and say "goodbye" and hang up. I love to hear them laugh. 10 NUMBERS: This is a game to play at your children's friends house. Tell them to pick 10 numbers from 0 to 9 but they have to start with one. Then have them carefully dial the phone and wait. Boy, oh boy.

In small towns all over the world, kids have relationships with many people from their villages. From teachers and babysitters to local cops and firemen, from librarians and play directors to doctors and crossing guards, there's a lot of folks who have a part in raising our children. We're very fortunate here in Blatant County to have so many kind, intelligent, nurturing people who help to shape the personalities and dreams of our offspring. We can all feel secure and proud to have

these "mentors" available to us and our families. In this issue, Gorbs and I will cover a lot of information on raising the kids of Blatant County from newborns to preteens, zeroing in on the correct advice versus the bad advice. Some of this advice was written over thirty years ago. See if you can pick out the ones which were created in the past. It takes a village, friends, and we live in the perfect place for educating and raising our little darlings in the proper mode. Enjoy!

BABY VICIOUS

I have a little child by the name of Elizabeth or “Buffy” as she's called affectionally by most. Lately, I've been referring to her as Baby Vicious. Baby Vicious is just a trifle put out because there's been another baby by the name of Emily around the house for the last six weeks. Baby Vicious likes to squeeze Baby Emily to show her how happy she is to have her around to share the spotlight. Sometimes Baby Vicious squeezes just a little too hard and Da-Da has to unlock her tiny little clenched hands which are wrapped around Baby Emily's face to tell her "No-no." Baby Vicious doesn't like that, so she grabs Da-Da by the nose with her tiny little nails and digs in. Da-Da once again pries the little child's hands apart and sits her in her high chair. Boy, is Baby Vicious ticked off. When Da-Da sets her food in front of her, Baby

crap!

YES

After removing a cocktail onion from Baby Vicious’s ear and kissing the little bumps made by the frozen peas, Da-Da bends down to pick up the little cutie. Baby Vicious rams a tiny little “Bambi” spoon up DaDa’s left nostril as big tears once again well up in his eyes. Da-Da is smoking mad now and vows never to change Baby Vicious’s pampers again or make “chalkie-milk” for the wee tot. Baby Vicious calls Da-Da a geek as Sesame Street comes on the television. She screams as loud as she can. Da-Da kicks in the TV screen and then realizes he can't see anymore sports on TV. Baby Vicious laughs and laughs and laughs. Poor Da-Da. Poor Emily. Lucky Baby Vicious. Nice talking to you, Da-Da’s.

Vicious sucker-punches the kindly old father and sends him reeling over the dining room table. Now poor Da-Da is ticked off and throws his cocktail in the naughty little child's face. Baby Vicious laughs, shakes her head and sticks her wee little fork into DaDa’s already lacerated nose. Da-Da is no pansy, but big tears well up in his eyes and it's a few moments later until he can shake off the pain and empty a sack of frozen green peas on Baby Vicious’s head. He laughs gaily as each one of the little peas, hardened from the freezer’s cold, bounce and bang off the little child's dome. Finally, Baby Vicious realizes that Da-Da is no pushover and says sweetly, “Down, please, Da-Da, dear.” The kindly old father, feeling a little remorse for having retaliated against the sweet little child, goes and gets several paper towels to cleanse his little infant.

SENIOR MOMENTS Where did I leave my glasses?

I was a second story man in my youth. Nobody ever believed my first story.

ASK DR.

SPA

I'd look a lot younger now if I hadn't been born so soon. Today I heard all of my favorite songs and they were playing in the elevator. Last night I burned the midnight oil until 9 PM. Life is like a lollipop. It sucks until it's gone.

Dear Dr. Spa, Lately, I find myself thinking about my childhood and how happier I was then than I am now as an adult. Can I function in this world by being a child? Signed, P. Eaterpann

Remember the good old days when a juvenile delinquent was a boy who played his banjo too loud.

Dear Peter Pan, You can if you put your inner child into day care right away. Love, Dr. Spa

I believe that your future depends on your dreams. That's why I sleep everyday until noon.

(...but next Tuesday I’ll be an Irish Setter.)

O’Chest-nuts

Old? Yes, but I am a work of art. I don't think of myself as an unattractive man. I think of myself as a beautiful monkey. Wrinkled was not one of the things I wanted to be when I grew up. I've learned in my life that a job was an invasion of privacy.

No, can't say that I am. You can't, eh? That's right. Why not? I just had breakfast. Too bad. Huh? It's better when you're hungry. It is? Sure. Well, what can I do for you? How about those Mariners? What about them? Just trying to break the ice. Oh. I'm warming up. OK. I'd like to ask you something. Go ahead, shoot. Do you like camping, arts and crafts and America? Yes, I do. All-righty, then. Wha? Don't you recognize my uniform? Can't say that I do. Can't say or don't? Don't. Girl Scout uniform. Wanna' buy some cookies? All right. I'll take two boxes. Can I say it? What? Okay, go ahead. Nice talking to you.

364 days a year I’m just a lab, working for a living at the Sheetmetal Fab.

The world can be amazing if you're slightly strange. Just do it… later - Nike. With great power comes a huge power bill. You're not special - you're just a limited edition. I was trying to behave but there were just too many options. Life is either passing me by or running me over. It's been over a year since I didn't become a better person. My advice is to never listen to any advice. I'm not clumsy. It's just that the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies and that wall just gets in the way. I just realized that my children have my same twisted sense of humor and I don't know whether to be proud or terribly frightened. Trust me, you can dance –Vodka. Aww, I see you're back to being pleasant. What pill do we owe this pleasure to? The word FAT just looks like someone took a bite out of the first letter of the word EAT. Maybe “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” isn’t a show that displays how stupid grown adults can be, but rather a show that depicts how much useless information we teach grade schoolers that won’t be retained or applicable later in life. The Swiss must’ve been pretty confident in their chances of victory if they included a corkscrew on their army knives. “Go to bed, you’ll feel better in the morning” is the human version of “Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?" Pain is nature's way of saying "Don't do that." Painkillers are mankind's way of saying "Just watch me!" A news headline you hardly ever see: "Psychic wins lottery... Again!"

There’s usually three (or four) generations per table.

Do the Right Thing Recognizes Feb. Nominees Top five nominees: Nate Dabney, Jed Waters, Zoe Bacca, Alexandra Adamson and outstanding candidate Carlos Gonzales The community will recognize Nate Dabney at Alturas Elementary on Friday, March 13 at 8 a.m. Dabney started the school newspaper. Zoe Bacca will be recognized on Friday, March 13 at 12:50 p.m. at Hemingway Elementary. Bacca had friends bring food for The Hunger Coalition in lieu of gifts. At Wood River High School, at the beginning of their sports assembly, the community will recognize outstanding candidate Carlos Gonzales. Carlos was recognized for his assistance with refereeing for various soccer leagues and helping to coordinate and explain the rules to both American leagues and the Latino leagues, even in heated moments.
