Due to budget cuts, the military will be unable to provide a flyover this year. The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa has said they will provide a flyover of the ceremony using two P-51 vintage WWII aircraft, one being the P-51C Mustang, called the “Boise Bee,” the other a P-51D Mustang. Unlike the military flyovers that were free, a flyover by the Museum does require a donation to them to cover fuel and museum costs. The donation to the museum is tax deductible and the total donation is $2,500. Both U.S. Air Force and Idaho Air National Guard have done flyovers of the Hailey Memorial Day ceremony for the last six years. Organizers continue to strive to receive a flyover every year because it is ultimately the highest honor that can be shown to a fallen soldier. Having a flyover of the ceremony helps to honor the nearly 400 Hailey veterans laid to rest at the Hailey Cemetery and the over 60 men and women from Idaho who have passed away during conflict since 2001. Organizers are doing every- thing they can to retain the flyover of the ceremony so that we may continue to show respects to all those who’ve served so selflessly and are now laid to rest here.

The Hailey Memorial Day

Ceremony Looks for

Sponsors to Support

This Year’s Flyover

By maggie SPringer, For tHe WeeKly Sun

The Hailey Memorial Day Cer-emony Committee is looking for sponsors for a flyover of the

2013 Hailey Memorial Day ceremony. Due to budget cuts, the military will be unable to provide a flyover this year. The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa has said they will provide a flyover of the ceremony using two P-51 vintage WWII aircraft, one being the P-51C Mustang, called the “Boise Bee,” the other a P-51D Mustang. Unlike the military flyovers that were free, a flyover by the Museum does require a donation to them to cover fuel and museum costs. The donation to the museum is tax deductible and the total donation is $2,500.

Both U.S. Air Force and Idaho Air National Guard have done flyovers of the Hailey Memorial Day ceremony for the last six years. Organizers continue to strive to receive a flyover every year because it is ultimately the highest honor that can be shown to a fallen soldier. Having a flyover of the ceremony helps to honor the nearly 400 Hailey veterans laid to rest at the Hailey Cemetery and the over 60 men and women from Idaho who have passed away during conflict since 2001. Organizers are doing every-thing they can to retain the flyover of the ceremony so that we may continue to show respects to all those who’ve served so selflessly and are now laid to rest here.

This year will be the 10th annual ceremony and organizers are striv-ing to make it the most honorable yet. This year’s theme, “More Than a Name,” is focused on the Vietnam era. The ceremony will be dedicated in honor of SP4 Gary Boushele, one of four men born in Blaine County who was killed in action during Vietnam. There will be members of four out of the five military branches participat-ing, providing such duties as keynote speaker, emcee, Color Guard, wreath-bearers, firing party, and much more.

Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK

They said it couldn’t be done when Earl Holding proposed a giant picture window in River Run Lodge

looking out on Baldy.Holding didn’t pay them any mind. Us-

ing his own engineering skills, he figured out how to use steel covered with logs to achieve what he wanted.

Sun Valley owner R. Earl Holding died in Salt Lake City Friday night at the age of 86. But not before propelling himself into one of the richest, most successful men in America with his vision and hard work.

In the process, he transformed Sun Valley into a world-class resort.

“Earl Holding has given us so much to work with,” said Mark Thoreson, who attends ski shows around the country touting Sun Valley’s high-speed quads, extensive snowmaking and long ski runs. “Selling Sun Valley is easy. I can’t imagine representing a ski area that doesn’t have the backing he’s given us. He brought a solidness to the community.”

Sun Valley was not the stuff of glass chandeliers from Milan and handwoven wool carpets from England when Earl and his wife Carol purchased the resort for $12 million in 1977.

The resort had closed a month earlier than usual, thanks to the most disastrous snow year in history. Employees had to vote themselves a 20 percent pay cut because they couldn’t make payroll.

And Disney executives, who had drawn up plans for an RV park on the site of the Sun Valley Gun Club, abruptly broke off negotiations to purchase Sun Valley after two years, leaving Sun Valley residents wondering what the future held.

In stepped Holding who decided to check out the resort after his wife Carol spotted a small article in the Wall Street Journal about Disney’s interest in Sun Valley.

Wally Huffman, who would later become general manager of the resort under Holding, spent three days showing the Holdings the resort. The property had depreciated to the point where bathtubs in the inn had worn through to black cast iron and snowmelt ran down the fireplace at the lodge apartments.

Huffman learned he had a new boss

when Holding instructed him to have a crew throw away the mattresses and furniture in the employee dorm.

“He was so disgusted by the conditions there,” Huffman recalled.” I excused myself to call (then owner) Mr. Janss and apprise him of what was going on. Bill told me, ‘If I were you, I would do what he tells you.’ That’s when I found out Sun Valley had been sold.”

“Hero” is a four-letter word, too

No one had a clue what this intensely private man with a shock of white hair and steely blue eyes would do. Rumors flew that the new Mormon owners would close the bars, bring in college kids from Brigham Young University to run the resort and install diesel pumps in front of the lodge.

Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK

Some people find the chirps of crickets annoying.

But do you know how they hear the annoying sound of a human burping?

Through their knees!That’s one of the amazing

pieces of trivia you’ll learn if you visit the Bug Zoo at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden now through May 3.

The public is welcome to check out the Bug Zoo from 1 to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends during that time.

Admission is free but dona-tions are always welcome.

A Bug Zoo cocktail party will be held specifically for adults from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 26. Participants will enjoy cocktails and creepy crawly appetizers made from foods designed to look like bugs. Admission is $20 with proceeds benefitting the garden.

briefs

the Blaine county recreation dis-trict will hold public information open House regarding the proposed Wood river trail rehabilitation Project.

the open House is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Wednesday april 24 at the ymca in Ketchum. the purpose is to provide the public with information, including proposed project planning details, maps of the project as well as an opportunity to better understand the need and scope of the Wood river trail rehabilitation Project. Bcrd staff and a board member will be on hand to answer questions following a brief presentation.

the Wood river trail is a multi-

use, non-motorized recreational path that connects the communities of the Wood river Valley. With the path ap-proaching its 30-year life span, the Bcrd Board of directors passed a resolution calling for a special levy election to be held may 21, 2013, for an additional two-year levy to recon-struct, resurface and rehabilitate the Wood river trail to restore its useful life for another 30 years.

For more information about the proposed rehabilitation project, please join the scheduled open House. you can also find more detailed infor-mation at www.bcrd.org.

BCRD Invites Community to Open House Regarding Proposed Trail Rehab Project

registration is now open for the Wilderness First-aid class being held may 18-19 at camp Perkins, near lake alturas in the Sawtooth Valley.

Fast-paced and hands-on, this two-day course covers a wide range of wilderness medicine topics for people who travel in the outdoors.

Wilderness medicine intitute’s (Wmi) curriculum is unique and includes many advanced topics that other pro-grams leave out, such as dislocation reduction, focused spinal assessment and epinephrine administration.

in just two days you’ll have the knowledge, skills and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situa-tions. this course is ideal for trip lead-ers, camp staff, outdoor enthusiasts and individuals in remote locations. Wmi’s course is pre-approved by such organizations as the american camp-ing association, the united States For-est Service, and other governmental agencies.

Can Weddings Kill the Planet?

The “something old” and “something borrowed” traditions of wedding

celebrations demonstrate how we depend on the friends and family who love us, and also express the optimism that the loved ones’ collected good fortune will infuse the happy couple’s future together. Since a healthy environment in which to live and to raise children is also key to that happy future, let’s consider the potential negative and posi-tive impacts that weddings (and other large events) could have.

Each one of the 2.5 million U.S. weddings this year is esti-mated to produce 62 tons of car-bon dioxide and 400-600 pounds of garbage. Surprised? Consider all of the wedding parapherna-lia: single-use dresses for the bride and attendants, chemically treated and imported flowers and foods, toxic makeup and skin care products, mined gem and gold-based jewelry, gifts that you don’t want or need, and multi-paged invitations with internal envelopes, to name a few. The majority of the carbon dioxide will come from the trans-portation to assemble the guests from near and far.

These 2.5 million weddings will pour at least $40 billion into the U.S. economy. If a green-leaning couple would use this oc-casion to put their money where their mouth is, think of the huge boost to sustainable business. Come back here next week for some things you can do to green up your wedding.

What Happens After the Blue Bin

There is so much talk about recycling and how wonder-ful it is (and it is! Do it!)

but do you know what hap-pens to your paper, plastic and aluminum/tin once you drop it in your blue bin? The short answer is—it goes through a process and becomes new material on the other side. But one easy way to see what happens to our recycled material here in Blaine County is to take a trip to the Ohio Gulch Recovery Center. Lamar, Tim and Chris are friendly, knowledgeable and want to help you make the correct choices when recycling. They have a lot of information about what materials are accepted at the Recovery Center, and if you come across something we aren’t able to accept, our staff will point you in the right direction. They will happily give you a tour of the facility and demonstrate what happens to recycled products and where everything goes when it leaves Blaine County. Have a group? Call ahead to 788-2351 and let them know you’re coming. Be sure and thank our hardworking crew and have fun taking a look at what happens to your products when you recycle!

Save the dates! May 10th the ERC and Cox Communications have joined forces for a free day of electronics recycling and May 11th is the 19th annual ERC Clean Sweep. 5B Recycles will be in Hailey to answer your recy-cling questions. Details at www.ercsv.org

habitat for non-humanity

‘Heartbreak Hill’ Challenge‘Please come to Boston in the

springtime… you can sell your paintings on the sidewalks...’

—Dave Loggins, 1974

Story & PHotoS By Bali SZaBo

These days, in these times, its not always easy, or even possible, to write

about less important matters than the events of the last week. Those of us who have spent qual-ity time in Boston find ourselves in a position to say something. Usually, we just complain about the suicidal drivers (Massachu-setts has some of the highest auto-insurance rates in the coun-try), the labyrinthine maze of streets, the endless construction and the inevitable corruption that accompanies it. Faced with the Boston Marathon bomb-ing, those complaints wither in significance, and we realize how much we love this city, warts and all. It has a human scale, it is happy, alive, and chock full of college students who are the future, growing from the fertile academic compost of the present. It is not the decaying city.

Grasping for straws, if there is a silver lining to this tragedy, it is the forming of positive bonds with New York City once and for all. This event will be an anti-dote to the superiority/inferiority and adversarially competitive cat-and-dog relationship between these two, and that’s healthy.

While I do not seek solace or consolation, I wanted to go outside and sit in the Habitat to absorb the wisdom of life which plants and animals provide free of charge. Year after year I expe-rience the wonderful resilience of nature, its undaunted positive energy, a testament to its will to live and regenerate after a bad year. The bulbs did terribly last year. This year they’re back with a vengeance. The Habitat will have its best spring color ever. I love the persistence of plants, their will not to be denied. They poke their heads out of the ground, regardless of what awaits them. ‘Bring it on!’ and, by and large, they are equal to the challenges. This will to live is also visible in birds, who have a much tougher time of it. The ones who migrate here success-fully are creatures ennobled by their struggles. They survived all the roadblocks erected by humanity and nature, both of which are unkind. Do they even know that they passed through a hazing gauntlet just to get here? No matter how often we project anthropomorphic values and behavior paradigms on nature, she just shrugs it off. Its saving grace is its lack of self-conscious-ness. Nature truly lives ‘in the moment’—this is its nurture.

If plants and animals are expected to adjust, or else, so are we. We need to be resilient and not allow a bad turn of events to defeat us, or to force us into a submission to fear. There’s a well-documented tendency for humans to succumb to fatigue brought on by a relentless series of events. Media satura-tion has a numbing effect. We stop caring. We can’t handle it anymore. Like a marathoner,

we hit a wall. From here on out, as a society, we need to get into disaster shape because we are going to have a lot coming at us. A good marathoner surmounts

Heartbreak Hill. We need to do the same.

It’s the stuff kids dream of. Step through a door in the closet into a magical world.

Into a magical world with a noble golden lion who epitomizes goodness and justice, no less.

The nexStage Theatre will take theater audiences on that journey Thursday through Sun-day when it presents “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”

C.S. Lewis’ classic tale, adapted for the stage by Joseph Robinette, will be presented at 7 p.m. Thursday through Satur-day and at 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., in Ketchum.

“It’s the perfect adventure where children travel to a for-eign land, find trouble and strive to be part of the solution,” said Patsy Wygle, who is directing the show with her husband Keith Moore. “It’s a story of love, faith, courage, sacrifice—with good triumphing over evil.

“And the nice thing for us is that you can include both adults and children in the telling,” she added.

“The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is the first of seven novels in Clive Staples Lewis’ series known as “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

It revolves around four chil-dren who have been evacuated to the English countryside for their safekeeping during World War II. While staying with an eccen-tric professor, they go through the wardrobe door into Narnia, a land of talking animals and mythical dwarves who have been enslaved in eternal winter by the evil White Witch, who has made it “always winter, but never Christmas.”

The children learn that the witch’s power will fail when two Sons of Adam and two Daugh-ters of Eve fill the four thrones in Narnia and they seek to fulfill this prophecy. And they encounter a great lion named Aslan, who has been absent for many years but is now willing to sacrifice his own life to save one

of the children’s.Lewis, a Christian apologist

from Belfast, Ireland, is said to have had a fascination with anthropomorphic animals, creat-ing a world inhabited and run by animals with his brother as a youngster.

“I like that he has created a magical world where everything is possible,” said Sarah Rau, a 14-year-old who is double cast as Susan, one of the English girls who ends up being crowned Queen of Narnia.

“It’s a great learning experi-ence for a young, aspiring actor,” added 15-year-old Drake Vernoy, who portrays Fenris Ulf. “I love that I get to not be myself for a little bit.”

The play stars Penelope Weekes and Marcella Fisher as Lucy, Jasper Mott and Griff Connelly as Edmund, Sarah Rau and Lindsay Morton as Susan, and Isaac Brannon and Logan Judd as Peter.

Bill Nagel plays Aslan the Lion and Matt Gorby, Mr. Bea-ver. Prue Hemmings plays the White Witch and Lauren Sun-day, Mrs. Beaver, while Jamie Wygle plays Tumnus.

Others in the cast are Sophie Harder, Annabel Webster, Wyatt Root, Keith Moore, Drake Vernoy, Mason Corkutt, Mack-enzie Ellison, Zane Lyon, Devon Peterson, Celeste Cortum, Airey Jones, Ella Higdon, Sonnet Grip-key, Lucca Vernoy, Wylie Zellers, Caroline Estep, Christine Estep, Indie Vernoy, Jessie Thomas, Liv Nelson and Curtis Hopfenbeck.

Pamela Doucette designed the set. Charlotte Hemmings painted it. And K.O. Ogilvie provided the special effects and lighting.

Tickets are $15 for kids and $20 for adults, available at 208-726-9124 and at the door. Reserved seating is $20 for kids and $30 for adults.

Kimball Bakes up a StormBy JonatHan Kane

Easton Kimball, Wood River High School junior, is on a mission to satiate

everyone’s sweet tooth—every-one, that is, but herself. “I just don’t eat any of that type of food since I overhauled my whole diet a year ago. Right now I don’t eat any sugar, gluten or dairy. I just really love to bake but I don’t eat any of the things that I make and it’s changed my life. I got super sick once before travelling to Puerto Rico and I learned that I’ve got to be real careful with what I’m eating.” That doesn’t seem to be a problem with her friends or schoolmates who can’t wait to gobble up the treats that she is always serving up. “I think it’s really fun to experiment and to see what other people like.” It has also given her some firm footing for the future as she’d like to go to business school as a prep to open her own cupcake shop. “If that fails, I’ll bake away my sadness. I actually started baking in January because I was spurred on by the movie Brides-maids. I just thought it would be really cool and it was something that I had only done as a kid

with my grandmother. I started work with box recipes but now I’ve moved on to cookbooks. I’m really trying to find what works. My family is totally Food Network junkies, so that might explain my interest. This year I joined the Culinary Academy at school and I’m learning all about nutrition. Some of the things that we are doing now can be strange, but I leave it to my brother to be my taste tester.”

Kimball is a fairly recent citi-zen of the Valley with her family, moving here from Arizona her sophomore year. “We have family that lives here and we always visited and wanted to move here but never thought it would actually happen, until one day it did. We came from a city of 1 million so it was quite a culture shock at first. It’s just a lot more isolated here. Even when watch-ing television there are so few news stories and it makes you feel like you live in a bubble. I was lucky to have met so many great people at first, probably because I was the new girl. But it’s so weird how the people you connected with and met first can then drift out of your life pretty quickly. The other thing

you have to deal with is that you have to drive an hour to shop and sometimes have to go three hours to find a face lotion that you want. Also, there aren’t rows and rows of chain restaurants here.” As to her future, Kimball says, “I really love it here but I think I’ll probably settle down in a city or near a city. I think there’s a lot to do here but you can always find stuff to do wher-ever you are.” You can always find anxious fans of your baking as well.

Participants show off the finished recycled garden art. courteSy PHoto

briefs

Hailey elementary School kids turned waste into garden art at an earth day ‘art attack’ on monday, april 22 – earth day.

the HeS Parent-teacher asso-ciation coordinated the after-school event, which encouraged creative re-use of materials – bottle tops, jar lids, plastic bottle lids – that are typically considered trash.

the voluntary, after-school activity was held in front of the school. all HeS kids (and parents) were invited. Some kids focused on developing a design; others drove a few colorful caps into the wooden creatures cut from scrap lumber. as the sounds of power drills and hammers subsided, whimsical gar-den creatures and flowers appeared.

this was a “reuSe” art project designed to encourage people to re-think what they consider “trash.” HeS students have been gathering clean

plastic lids of all sizes and colors (from milk, yogurt, drinks, etc.) and metal jar/bottle lids (including twist-off lids and bottle tops) for the past week for the project. Powerhouse restaurant also contributed bottle tops; and clear creek disposal provided material col-lection carts for the project. local art-ists melissa graves-Brown and chris Brown (also parents of Hailey elemen-tary students) lent their creativity and artistic skills to the project.

the garden art is expected to re-main on display near the school en-trance through the end of the year.

though most of these plastic and metal lids can be recycled in the local recycling program, reuse of materials is even better for the environment be-cause costs and emissions from trans-portation, separation and processing are avoided by reusing these materials locally.

getting a Sober Look at Teen PartyingStory & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK

A teenage boy lay passed out on the floor, crumpled Tecate beer cans strewn

around him.Several teens stood around

the kitchen island cheering one another as he guzzled liquor through a beer bong made out of a tube and funnel.

On the back patio a couple boys held another upside down over a keg as others pumped beer into him.

Nearby, several other teens played beer pong, downing a shot of booze each time the other team dropped a ball in one of their cups.

“Three in a row. She’s gonna feel it now,” exclaimed one boy.

A dozen parents looked on, a few with ashen faces.

The sobering scene was that of a Reality Party—a party staged to show parents what kinds of risks their kids might encoun-ter at a party where underage drinking and drug consumption occurs.

“I put my party on Facebook and more than a hundred people showed up—some a lot older than I. It got totally out of con-trol, but I didn’t know what to do—I was scared,” one girl told them.

Wave after wave of parents went from room to room in the house south of Bellevue, getting a glimpse of various scenarios that can occur.

In a darkened bedroom on the second floor, one teenage girl lay passed out on the couch.

“She’s out cold with her shoes on—fair game for pranks,” en-thused one boy.

“I said, ‘No,’” muttered one girl, sitting nearby.

“I didn’t find out what I’d done until later at school,” said a boy.

“I wanted to use protection, but I guess I was so drunk I couldn’t,” said another boy.

The revelry was interrupted by a knock on the door from Hailey Patrol Officer Manuel Ornelas.

“You know it’s against the law to have a party like this for juveniles and adults,” he started to tell the homeowner. All of a sudden, Or-nelas was interrupted by a shout from the kitchen.

“Come quick! He’s not breath-ing!” a group of teenagers stood around one who was passed out on the floor.

Hailey Police Officer Steve England said that every week-end there is probably some sort of party involving underage drinking and drugs going on in the valley, whether it involves five kids or 50.

“I think reality parties like this can provide an eye-opener for parents,” Officer England added.

High school sophomore Alber-to Gonzalez said he was amazed at the reaction from parents when he took part in last year’s inaugural Reality Party.

“A lot were crying,” he said. “I think it’s good to let parents know what can happen in a party situation, what kind of risk the kids are taking.”

Alec Michael Moffett, a high school senior, said he opted to take part in the demonstration again this year because it had so much impact on the parents who saw it.

“I also learned last year what kind of impact alcohol has on the

brain, making you do things you wouldn’t otherwise do,” added Moffett, who said he has chosen not to use either drugs or alcohol.

In fact, kids’ brains can be short-changed when they drink during their teenage years because their frontal lobe—where our sense of reason and decision-making lies—is still jelling.

“It can be so devastating to drink while your brain is developing,” a doctor told parents as they exited the Reality Party.

The biggest jump in kids trying alcohol and drugs comes between seventh and eighth grade when younger kids begin hanging out with older kids, said Wood River High School coun-selor Tod Gunter.

When parents think they’re losing control because their kid is locking himself in his room, it usually has to do with drugs, said Ruby Garcia, a St. Luke’s representative.

Some parents believe they can’t stop their kids from drink-ing so they talk, instead, about how to teach their youngsters to drink, said Blaine County chief probation officer Teresa Espedal.

“A lot of these parents are not being parents—they’d rather be friends,” said Blaine County Sheriff’s Deputy Chad Schier-meier.

Schiermeier added that he dreads being called to a party where underage drinking is involved: “I don’t want to have to call 911 because someone is passed out and not breathing.”

Molly Eloise Westmore-land was in a rush to make her debut.

She was just shy of seven months in her mother’s womb when she was born on June 12. And—weighing in as she did at just 2 pounds, 3 ounces—her birth changed the tempo of life at the Westmoreland home in Hailey.

“When we say she’s a million-dollar baby, we’re not exag-gerating,” said Molly’s mother, Michelle Westmoreland.

“Our hospital bills just from the day of her birth were $181,000. She spent 79 days in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She came home in August when she was 5 pounds. And then we just had another nine-day hospital stay because she couldn’t tolerate her food. They performed surgery to wrap the upper part of her stomach and esophagus so she can’t vomit her food anymore.”

Kyle and Michelle Westmore-land and their two sons Avery and Lanigan will participate in Saturday’s March for Babies in Boise. The march, under the um-brella of the March for Dimes, raises money for babies who are either born too soon or who are born sick. It also supports programs to help mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies.

But the Westmorelands are taking it one step further. They and friends who have had pre-mature babies have established a non-profit charity organization called J&M Preemies, which raises money for those who have a baby in NICU. And they’ll have a tent at the event, collect-ing donations.

The charity, named after Mol-

ly Eloise and her preemie friend, Jaycee Lo, collects donations for the parents of newborn preemies in hopes of giving them a night out to provide a break from the monotony of the hospital routine.

“Unless you’ve been there, you don’t know what it’s like,” said Michelle. “We want to provide them with a gift card, a mas-sage. Something as simple as dinner out or a chance to get a cup of coffee can make your day or even your week.”

Now a little older than nine months, Mary Eloise weighs 10 pounds—a little more than her brothers, who came into the world at 9 pounds, 7 ounces, and 8 pounds, 10 ounces.

Her tongue hangs out—she can’t swallow. She has muscle weakness. She hasn’t walked yet. She doesn’t roll. She has never known life without a feeding tube through her nose and mouth. Her world is a living

room boasting IV bags hanging among teddy bears.

But Kyle, who works at Rocky Mountain Hardware, and Michelle remain hopeful. And helpful.

“It was so hard when she was born because we had two kids at home in Hailey and I had to be there,” Michelle said. “Even now, I have to be with her constantly because you have to be right on top of things. She has a button in her stomach that comes out and you have to know how to put it back in. She’s on five medica-tions. She uses an oxygen tank. She goes to therapy four times a week where they use electrical probes to stimulate her nerves.

“That’s why we want so bad to help other parents in this situa-tion. We know what it’s like.”

educators scour posters offering information on alcohol abuse and suicide pre-vention.

Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK

Jamie Vollmer’s Great Big Western Ice Cream Company had been praised

as having the best ice cream in America by both “People” and “Playboy” magazines.

But when Vollmer told a group of schoolteachers how the com-pany sent bruised blueberries back to the producers to ensure a quality product, the teachers were not impressed.

“We can never send back our blueberries,” one teacher told him, likening blueberries to stu-dents. “We take them big, rich, poor, gifted, exceptional, abused, frightened, confident, homeless, rude and brilliant. We take them with ADHD, junior rheumatoid arthritis and English as their second language. And that’s why we’re not a business. We’re a school.”

The statement forced Vollmer to rethink long-held beliefs about schools, including his belief that “If I ran my business the way you people operate your schools, I wouldn’t be in business very long.”

It prompted him to spend a day in a classroom, where he spent 15 minutes inhaling lunch and cutting out paper pumpkins in the teachers’ lounge before heading out for playground duty and spending a warm afternoon in a room with eighth-graders so smelly he says he will go to his grave with the smell in his nostrils.

It led him to pen a book titled “Schools Cannot Do It Alone.” And it led him to begin criss-crossing the country making presentations encouraging edu-cators, business leaders and com-munity groups to work together to build successful schools.

Vollmer spoke to more than 400 educators Thursday at the 20th annual Idaho State Preven-tion and Support Conference, which addresses at-risk behavior and academic success. The two-day conference, sponsored by the Idaho State Liquor Division, Na-tional Alcohol Beverage Control Association, Idaho Department of Labor and others, was held at the Sun Valley Inn.

We’re at a pivotal point in our country when it comes to education, Vollmer told the educators. Public school bashing has become a blood sport. Our have-it-your-way society is opt-ing for charter schools. Trigger laws allow parents to decide what’s taught in the classrooms. Fewer than 25 percent of Ameri-can taxpayers have children in school—they’re more concerned about healthcare, crime, Social Security and infrastructure.

Too many people are afflicted with “nostesia’—that blend of nostalgia and amnesia that causes them to believe that today’s schools are dreadful compared with the temples of learning that they attended. Education is the whipping boy in the anti-tax, anti-government movement. And many are disen-

chanted that education can’t give them the jobs they once thought they’d get.

Thomas Jefferson designed the blueprint for the public education system with the idea that it was to separate the genius from the rubbish, the learned from the working class, Vollmer said.

“Today we must not only grad-uate every student but we have to fix the system so every single child finishes knowing what he needs to know,” he added. “If a child leaves unprepared, we have to take care of him or we have to live in fear of him the rest of our lives—desperate people are dangerous people.”

Educators must come to grips with the differences in learning, Vollmer said. For instance, how can you sit a little boy who has been read to every night next to a little girl who has never even seen anyone read.

“That little boy enters school understanding 10,000 more words than that little girl. How do you address that?” Vollmer said.

Educators must also launch a ground war to reshape what people think about schools, Vollmer said.

“ ‘It’s the right thing to do for these kids’ is not the best argu-ment,” he added. “You have to say: ‘Help us because it’s good for you.’ A 78-year-old man doesn’t vote ‘No.’ He votes ‘Hell no’ because he doesn’t understand his quality of life is tied to what you do.”

As student success rises, Vollmer explained, crime falls, property values rise because people want to live in those neighborhoods, businesses relo-cate there for the talent, the teen pregnancy rate falls and even hospital premiums fall because fewer people use the emergency room as a first resort.

Ketchum resident Lyman Drake said he made a special trip to Coeur d’Alene last year to hear Vollmer speak: “I read Vollmer’s book a couple of years ago and found it very insight-ful—and powerful in its simplic-ity. It has had quite an impact on the thinking of the school district’s leadership, as well.”

sOUNDbiTes “Our greatest weakness lies in

giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”—Thomas Edison

“Dr. James Garberino, a faculty member of the Center for the Hu-man Rights of Children, wondered why kids from impoverished homes ended up productive members of society while some from wealthy families ended up incarcerated. He interviewed incarcerated juveniles. ‘I’d rather be wanted for murder than not wanted at all,’ ” one told him. We need to make sure every kid in Idaho has a place at the table.”—Matt McCarter, Idaho State Department of Education

“America is a culture in which instant gratification is too slow.”—Carrie Fisher

“The No. 1 indicator of student success is parental engagement.”—Jamie Vollmer

School System Needs to Launch Sentiment War, Vollmer Says

movie review

Jon rated this movieBy JonatHan Kane

Sports bio-pics can be an interesting genre. They can be both effusive in their

praise as well as leaning to the sappy. In the fine new baseball movie 42 we have neither of these extremes but, rather, the telling of one of the great sports stories of our time – the integra-tion of Major League baseball by Jackie Robinson in 1947 as a member of the Brooklyn Dodg-ers. What makes the heart of the story so great is that it was not just about baseball but was also about the times and the large place racism played in the American psyche.

The movie, written and direct-ed by Brian Helgeland, is really the story of two men – Robinson as well as the legendary Branch Rickey, who signed him despite wide-scale opposition. Rickey is played superbly by Harrison Ford as a man with vision as well as a desire for increased revenues. When the movie opens in 1945 Ford tells his staff that he doesn’t know who he is but the first black player is on his

way to the major leagues. After a diligent search, he settles on Robinson, a four-sport star at UCLA and a commissioned offi-cer in World War II, although he was court-martialed for refus-ing to move to the back of the bus. Ford states that because he played with whites at UCLA, he was the right choice and his tem-per would have to be contained in order to survive the abuse he was about to be assaulted with.

As well as the great perfor-mance from Ford, we are treated to another great performance by Chadwick Boseman as Robinson. Basically an unknown, Boseman shines as the conflicted super star, embodying both the talent and resolve of the man. 42 hits all the right chords whether you are a baseball fan or indifferent to the sport. After all, it’s one of the great stories of our time.

520 East Ave., Ketchum, 208-726-4660, www.ketchumgrill.com, open nightly at 5 p.m. (reserva-tions not accepted for the outdoor patio). Price: $30 and under

By margot Van Horn

Housed in Ketchum’s oldest remaining home (built in 1885), once

owned by Ed Williams, I’ve enjoyed dining there ever since I arrived here to live in this Valley in 1980. I remember it when it was Freddy’s (and for those who remember, indeed, what a delightful character he was!). In fact, Scott and Anne Mason, owners and chefs extraordinaire of The Ketchum Grill, recently traveled to France and paid a visit to Freddy and his wife, Germaine. According to Scott, Freddie is now 90 and, though somewhat physically disabled, still full of spunk. Freddy was an important part of Scott and Anne’s journey here to our Val-ley because it was in 1988 that an ad had been placed in the San Francisco Chronicle advertising a much-needed chef at Freddy’s Ketchum restaurant. That caught the Masons’ eye. Scott’s brother was living in Ketchum at that time and Scott and Anne wanted to exit the busy city life, so Scott flew up to meet Freddy. The rest is history, even though when Scott accepted his work position at Freddy’s, he thought to himself, “Oh no, what have I done?”

Now the Masons have TWO Ketchum restaurants—“The Grill” as of 1991 and Enoteca (wine library), the newest one established last year but also housed in an historic building, the Lane Mercantile Building (est. 1887). Of course, under-standably, these Ketchum chefs can’t imagine living anywhere else on this good earth, though they do love their worldly trav-els.

Scott and Anne have indeed been very focused during their culinary-destined lives and have trained under all sorts of great chefs and in the finest restau-rants in California as well as, for Scott, in France (two of the French restaurants the Michelin Guide starred). We are very fortunate to have such talented

chefs here. Their passion indeed is emphasized in their cooking. Dining at “The Grill,” you can tell that much love and care goes into each and every item on their menu and in the preparation of their dishes.

Scott has a great love of forag-ing anything he can find that is delectable and edible in our Val-ley. Mushrooms are, of course, on his list, but so are other delights such as onions and watercress. You will find them included in his dishes. His other big love is lamb—which, as we all know here in Idaho, is a true specialty and also a staple of “The Grill.”

Setting aside his cooking hat and donning his wine hat, Scott, along with semi-retired manager Patty Anderson, seriously col-laborate on their fine wine list several times a week. Patty has been with “The Grill” since its inception.

Anne’s daughter Lyndsey says that her mother “was born with a whisk in one hand and a ladle in the other.” Anne, the “sweet” chef, has the love of all things good for desserts. She truly is an amazing chef of those, so when you frequent this fine restau-rant, make sure to make some room for some of Anne’s delights. Julia Child, whom Anne and Scott did slightly know person-ally, after tasting a bit of Anne’s sweets, said: “I don’t bake nearly as well as that, dear.” What a compliment!!!

Pictured is one of Scott’s favor-ite dishes: roasted spring lamb chops filled with Rollingstone goat cheese and tomato basil pistou. $23. Picture taken by Adelaide Mason.

In conclusion, you may wonder how Scott can be in two places at one time. He can’t, but worry not because when he is to be found at Enoteca, the extremely capable chef-de-cuisine Daniel Pastick is filling in for Scott. The food as always will be excellent.

This once-monthly column features our wonderful Valley restaurants, to which we can easily stroll—sometimes with the help of a bus or car ride—and is therefore called The Walk-ing Gourmet. I hope that it will be a helpful guide for would-be diners, as well for all of our fine local eateries.

White House Recipe Challenge for 8-12 Year oldsBy KatHryn guylay

Do you know a child between the ages of 8 and 12 years old who

would enjoy an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., to meet the First Lady and see our nation’s Capitol? Would you like to inspire in that child a sense of self-responsibility for eating healthy foods, including fresh and colorful fruits and vegeta-bles, lean protein, whole grains and low-fat dairy? How about getting kids excited about work-ing in the kitchen, having fun testing out their culinary skills, and taking their turn cooking? Finally, how about an oppor-

tunity for that child to become a community service-oriented member of society, empowered by the First Lady with the role of being an ambassador for health as part of an important national movement?

If the vision I have painted sparks an interest, I encourage you to visit www.Epicurious.com and, together with your child, enter the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge & Kids’ “State Din-ner”. It is a national recipe con-test designed to inspire kids to create fun, healthy and delicious recipes that meet the nutritional guidelines for MyPlate (see www.ChooseMyPlate.gov).

Pretty in Pink‘One reason for my success

was that I was competing with only half the population.”

—Warren Buffett

By Bali SZaBo

I had read this New York Times

best-seller before I even read the book. Or so I thought. It has been reviewed by everyone with an ax to grind. Maureen Dowd of the Times panned it. Kathleen Parker, the Pu-litzer Prize-win-ning columnist in the Express, who should know better, aimed two barbs at it. She said it was a book about ‘empowering already empowered women,’ and ‘how women can get into country clubs’ (Augusta). What stood out in various comments and the reviews is that no one actually read the book. It was simply a platform for the reviewers’ own views piggybacking a best-seller. Almost every objection I read was addressed in the Introduc-tion and expanded on later, like the ‘rich bitch’ epithet.

This is a wonderful book. Sheryl Sandburg is honest, candid, she doesn’t posture, she’s funny, relaxed and writes a lot of excellent one-liners: “Because things could be worse should not stop you from making them better.” “Self-doubt becomes a form of self-defense.” “Encourage more women to dream the pos-sible dream.” “We can re-ignite the revolution by internalizing the revolution.” She quotes Alice Walker: “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” The book is not a polemic. It is full of great anecdotes and common situations that affect all women. Sandburg remarked at a commencement address that “you are the hope for a more equal world.” She stressed the need for women in leadership roles to affect everything from a rape culture to equal pay to greater boardroom presence.

She wrote this book because she feels the women’s movement has stalled (she’s good friends with Gloria Steinem), explains why, and what can be done

about it. Criticisms are easy, solutions are rare. This book is really a treatise on aspects of social psychology. The most important psychological profile is the discussion of the ‘Stereo-type Threat,’ where historically

discriminated-against groups—blacks, gays, Jews and, of course, women—internal-ize their negative social images and begin to act them out, confirming the stereotype. She mentions the ‘Imposter Syndrome,’ which is capable people being gripped by groundless self-doubt. Then there is the ‘Ambition Gap’—women who are afraid to reach for the

brass ring, quite unlike men. She tells of a great study done at Harvard called Howard and Heidi. It features the bio profile of a successful man, Howard. It was given to a large group of stu-dents for evaluation. In half the profiles, the name was changed to Heidi. Howard was admired for his traits and actions. Heidi was called too strident, bitchy, not trustworthy, someone no one would want on a team. Women have to be ‘likeable’ while men can be complete jerks.

Because this book is not a polemic, it is not anti-male. Sheryl simply wants women to shed their emotional shackles and be more like them, while acknowledging the external obstacles women still face. They still have to prove themselves. Men are promoted based on potential, women, based on past accomplishments. Women are discouraged from taking risks, and self-advocacy. Women credit their success to luck and the help of others; men cite innate abil-ity. Faced with failure, women think they lack ability while a man simply credits it to an error. Men negotiate, women accept. Men are excused their ambition, women are expected to be ‘loyal.’ And so on.

This book is also a statisti-cal treasure; it has numbers to back up observations. It is well researched with a great Notes and Bibliography. I only wish it had a statistical abstract. The book is available at the Hailey Public Library. tws

The Connection Honors Leslie Silva as Volunteer of the Year

Story & PHotoS By Karen BoSSicK

Leslie Silva has delivered hundreds of Meals on Wheels to housebound

seniors in the past three years.Thursday evening she was the

recipient of a meal herself, as the Senior Connection honored 40 individuals who have volun-teered their services driving the Meals on Wheel truck, mop-ping floors, scooping ice cream at Scoops Ice Cream Parlor, gardening, painting, running the Senior Connection gift shop or helping with helping with the Senior Connection’s recreational activities.

But Silva got to be first in line for Chef Steve Johnson’s baked chicken dinner as Volunteer of the Year.

“I was so happy to see her hon-ored as Volunteer of the Year,” said Johnson. “I’m so glad she gives a little bit of her time to us. She comes in and she always has a smile. She’s always happy. She knows the people she delivers food to. She fills a room—she’s like a breath of fresh air.”

Silva first began volunteer-ing at a nursing home in Seattle during high school. She began making the Meals on Wheels deliveries on Tuesdays after she and her husband—Sun Valley’s general manager Tim Silva—moved back to Sun Valley a few years ago.

Like other Meals on Wheels drivers, Silva does much more than passing out meatloaf and chicken dinners.

She changes light bulbs for the seniors, helps them when their toilets overflow, and helps them shop for toiletries and other items.

“They become friends. They become your family,” she said.

“I love older people and I care about them,” she added. “I look at them and see my parents. I look at them and see myself.”

It’s amazing Silva had time even to make the dinner in her honor, given the many causes she volunteers for.

She also serves on the board of The Community Library, bringing Sun Valley Resort on

board to serve up a taste of “The Help” and dessert fantasies at the library’s Moveable Feast fundraisers.

She prepares care packages for soldiers affiliated with High-er Ground, Sun Valley’s outreach to wounded vets. She tutors at Hemingway Elementary School and volunteers with I Have a Dream, a program designed to encourage low-income kids at Woodside Elementary to go to college. And she just started vol-unteering with The Advocates.

And when Hurricane Sandy devastated part of the East Coast last fall, she quickly and quietly gathered 500 winter coats and shipped them to New York.

“She has a lot of energy,” said her admiring husband, Tim Silva.

PeTe caNTOr GeTs a NODLeslie Silva wasn’t the only

one singled out for recognition at the Senior Connection’s annual volunteer appreciation dinner.

Pete Cantor was recognized for serving 14 years on the Se-nior Connection’s board of direc-tors. He has served 13 of those years as the board’s president.

“The board is making deci-sions for our lives, figuring out

what’s going to happen,” said Kim Coonis, the Senior Connec-tion’s executive director.

Cantor, former owner of Ketchum Automotive, said he was taking care of the Senior Connection’s fleet of vehicles when someone asked him to serve on the board of directors.

“I said, ‘I don’t know that I understand anything about old people,’ ” Cantor recalled. “They said, ‘Why don’t you look in the mirror!’ ”

chef Steve Johnson says he was elated to learn that leslie Silva was the Volun-teer of the year.

Pete cantor has served on the Senior connection board of directors for 14 years.

“I volunteer with Meals on Wheels because what gives me the greatest pleasure is helping those that are in

need. It’s what’s pulled me into all the other areas I’m involved with. My heart is happiest serving others.

What I get back is tenfold to what I give.”

He covered the mountain with high-speed quads. He spent three-quarters of a million dol-lars redoing the Sun Valley Golf Course and he redid the Sun Valley Lodge and Inn, putting Drexel Heritage furniture in the lodges.

As he did with Little America, Earl and Carol learned how the ski business worked by flipping hamburgers on Baldy, their chil-dren Anne, Kathleen and Steven in aprons by their sides.

They climbed ladders to change light bulbs in the lodges, spent Sunday nights moving mirrors and furniture to figure out where they looked best. And they noticed when an ingredient was missing in a salad dressing.

Earl and Carol sat in on every management meeting, teaching work ethics at every turn.

“See that coffee table?” Hold-ing told managers at one of the first meetings. “That coffee table will likely stay where it is unless one of the three people in this room get up and move it. Noth-ing works unless you do.”

“We learned from that that it’s people who do things,” recalled Huffman, who was dubbed Ra-dar after the M*A*S*H character who follows his boss around with a clipboard making notations about the changes the boss wants made. “He said, ‘Effort causes things to happen and ef-fort is not a bad thing.’ ”

In time, Sun Valley employees began spouting Earl’s platitudes as easily as they recited their birthdates:

“You get what you inspect, not what you expect.”

“Anticipation is greater than realization.”

“The harder I work, the luckier I get.”

“To thine own self be true.”“Anything worth doing is

worth overdoing.”“He’s been an inspiration to

me,” said Thoreson, who worked for Holding more than 30 years. “He made a lot of people better people the way he walked the talk and lived by his words.”

A child of the Depression

At the time of his death, Forbes listed Holding as the 423rd richest person in the world, his wealth estimated at $3.2 billion.

He is the 19th greatest land-holder in the United States, ac-cording to Businessinsider.com. At last count, Holding reportedly owned 400,000 acres, including more than 40 blocks of property in Salt Lake City alone.

But, despite the wealth he amassed and the massive build-ing projects he undertook, Hold-ing always evoked a certain air of frugality.

That was likely born of the Great Depression—his parents lost their life savings in the stock market crash of 1929 when Earl was 3 years old.

Armed with an engineering degree from the University of Utah, Holding was headed to Iran with the Bureau of Recla-mation when the Covey brothers convinced him to take over their underperforming truck stop in southwestern Wyoming.

As a high school student, Holding had taken care of the lawns of the apartments owned by the Covey brothers, including Stephen R. Covey—grandfather of the Stephen R. Covey who would go on to write “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.”

Holding and his wife Carol rolled up their sleeves, wait-ing tables and manning gas pumps—Carol boasts she still has the first dollar bill she received as a tip. They added gas pumps, expanded the hotel and planted hundreds of trees. And within two years they had turned the station into one of the most successful service stations in the country before purchasing it from the Coveys.

In short order, Holding pur-chased Sinclair Oil Co., turning it into the largest oil refinery in the Mountain West. Pretty soon he had also amassed Little America and the Westgate Hotel in Flagstaff and San Diego, a home in the Federal Heights sec-tion of Salt Lake City, the Twin Creek cattle ranch at the base of Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains, the Sunlight Cattle Ranch near Yellowstone National Park, Sun Valley Resort and a couple of jets, one of which he bought from the Sultan of Brunei.

“I only wish to acquire the land adjacent to mine,” he often told people. “The three most im-portant things: location, location, location.”

Building modern- day monuments

and iconsAs 2002 approached, Holding

transformed Ogden’s Snowbasin Ski Area from a ho-hum tiny day-ski area into a world-class resort with one of the world’s best downhill courses for the 2002 Winter Olympics.

He further helped the Olympic Committee secure the bid by spending $185 million to build the four-story Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

Holding treated the hotel, built with 50,000 pounds of granite blocks he’d selected at a Vermont quarry and sent to Spain to be cut and polished, as if it were his home.

He even provided towels instead of paper napkins in the restrooms.

When an NBC cameraman sat down in the lobby during the Olympics and put his feet up on an antique table Hold-ing had imported from Europe, Holding walked up to him and said, “Please don’t do that. You wouldn’t put your feet up on your furniture at home. Why would you do that here?”

Back in Sun Valley, Holding set a new standard for the ski industry, building four lodges out of heavy beam timbers and Italian marble and filling them with treasures like 350-year-old hand-painted European antique trunks and Swiss bells.

“I think a lot of his penchant for quality comes from the fact that he’s a civil engineer by education,” said Huffman. “His philosophy is: Do it right the first time. Marble lasts longer than tile. Tile lasts longer than linoleum. Eighty-ounce wool carpet lasts 30 years, compared with the 20-ounce nylon that most motels have to replace every five years.”

Holding suffered a stroke in 2002 that most people wouldn’t have survived, according to Huffman. But his mind re-mained sharp, allowing him to run the show through the people he’d lined up behind him for the first several years.

He remodeled the Sun Valley Lodge, equipping it with state-of-the-art convention equipment that eclipsed what any other hotel in the Northwest offered at the time. At his wife’s insis-tence, he replaced the drafty ski school cabin on Dollar Mountain with Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge.

“Just think: They used to have bumper stickers that said, “Earl is a Four-Letter Word,” he once told a reporter who greeted him following the opening of Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge.

Holding built a second golf course and acquired a third.

And in 2008 he built the Sun Valley Symphony Pavilion at the symphony’s bequest, even flying to Italy to pick out 750 tons of travertine from the same quarry used to build Rome’s Coliseum.

When community leaders wanted to name the outdoor concert pavilion after him, he protested: “I’m not dead. I don’t want it named after me.”

What Holding didn’t build endeared him to Sun Valley residents as much as what he did build. He left land undeveloped, more concerned about keeping the resort attractive than crowd-ing it with condos and other buildings.

“Mr. Holding called it ‘be-ing gentle with the land,’” said former Sun Valley Mayor Jon Thorson. “He was sensitive to the fact that he was living in a beautiful place.”

Some men in the public eye might have become reclusive fol-lowing a stroke that left them in a wheelchair.

But Holding continued to at-tend symphony performances, ice shows, special dinners at the Inn. He even bundled up for the ribbon cutting for the $12 mil-lion gondola in 2009, greeting hundreds of Valley residents as they filed through the newly remodeled Roundhouse Restau-rant.

He surprised 500 dinner patrons at a tribute dinner in his honor by addressing them.

Holding told guests that he, his wife and three kids all love Sun Valley—“it’s our most fun place.”

“And as long as I’m alive and as long as Carol’s alive and as long as my three kids are alive, this will never, ever be sold. We’ll run it,” he said, as the crowd jumped to its feet offering

him thunderous applause.Despite such assurances,

there’s no question that Valley residents have wondered what might come of Sun Valley’s future, even as they see Stephen and Kathleen Holding taking over more of the management duties.

Sinclair Oil Co., which owns Sun Valley, has a longtime plan and board of directors in place to manage Sun Valley, so residents needn’t fear, said Jack Sibbach, Sun Valley’s director of market-

ing.“I’d say the Wood River Val-

ley—we—are very lucky to have had Mr. Holding as owner of Sun Valley,” Sibbach added.

“If Mr. Holding hadn’t bought Sun Valley, it probably would have become a two-star regional resort, or less,” said Huffman. “It might have ended up being a ski resort just for locals and it would’ve died. No two ways about it, Mr. and Mrs. Holding resurrected the place.”

earl Holding rewarded Paralympian muffy davis with a run named “muffy’s medals” following the 2002 Winter olympics and Paralympics in Salt lake city. He suffered a stroke later that year.

earl Holding, who spoke at a send-off for Sun Valley’s olympians in 2002, seemed unconcerned with how difficult it can be for vacationers to get to Sun Valley. “you can use the inconvenience in getting here to your advantage,” he once told Sun Valley’s resident historian chris millspaugh. “What have you gained if you have direct flights from all over, only to have to stand in line after line once you get here?”

HoNKY ToNKIN’

By Jamie canField, Program director For KSKi 103.7 Fm

Country music has lost its way, but Jay Farrar has taken it upon himself

to help it find its way back. In the early nineties, Farrar was one-half of the creative force behind Uncle Tupelo, the band responsible for igniting the fire underneath the alt-country movement. After an acrimonious breakup with his band partner Jeff Tweedy, Farrar formed Son Volt, whose new album Honky Tonk has gone back to the Ba-kersfield sound made famous by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. In these days, where country music is little more than pop music with a twang, Son Volt has taken country back to its roots. Instead of taking today’s country route, Son Volt has taken the high lonesome road, replete with dual fiddles, pedal steel and heartfelt lyrics about the road, smoke and dim lights and, of course, Bakersfield. Previously, Son Volt threw rock and country music against the wall and worked with what spat-tered. Honky Tonk is straight-up country and Farrar’s voice has never sounded so in place; his nasal twang is perfect for sing-ing country music. The open-ing track, “Hearts And Minds,” takes you through a two-step of heartbreak and hope and sets the tone for the entire album. Throughout the entire eleven songs on Honky Tonk, Son Volt takes you on a trip through real country; and every gas station, truck stop and honky-tonk you find along the way is filled with the joyous sound of country music as it should be—heartache with a twang. tws

financial planning

If you’re nearing retirement, you’ve most likely given

some serious thought to how you’ll make ends meet once you’re no lon-ger receiving a regular paycheck. Along with pensions and retire-ment savings, many retirees depend on Social Security to provide them with a sizeable portion of their retire-ment income.

To qualify for Social Security benefits, you must have worked for a minimum of 10 years and earned at least 40 Social Secu-rity credits. You can earn up to four of these credits per year by paying Social Security taxes, commonly known as FICA. Once you’ve met these criteria, you may begin taking Social Secu-rity benefits at age 62.

Your benefits are calculated based on the average of your 35 highest years of earnings, and the amount of benefit you receive is determined by the age at which you begin taking benefits in relation to your full retire-ment age (as established by the Social Security Administration).

Taking Benefits Prior to Full Retirement Age

If you elect to begin receiving benefits before your full retire-ment age, the amount of benefit you receive will be permanently reduced throughout your retire-ment. The amount of reduc-tion depends on the number of months remaining until your full retirement age, so the earlier you begin receiving benefits, the smaller the amount will be.

Taking Benefits at Full Retire-ment Age

Your full retirement age de-pends on the year in which you were born, and ranges from 65 to 67. Once you reach full retire-ment age, you will be entitled to receive 100 percent of your Social Security benefits.

Taking Benefits After Full Retirement Age

If you elect to delay the start of benefits until after your full retire-ment age, you can receive an even larger monthly benefit throughout retire-ment, and the benefits increase for each year you delay, up to age 70.

To calculate your projected monthly benefit, use the Social Security Administration’s calcu-lator at www.ssa.gov or refer-ence the annual statement that the Social Security Administra-tion sends to you three months before your birthday.

Receiving Benefits While Working

If you continue working and begin collecting Social Security benefits before reaching full re-tirement age, you may be subject to an earned-income penalty. Once you’ve reached full retire-ment age, you can work and earn an unlimited amount of income without being penalized. Regardless of your age, you will still be required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on your earnings if you continue working while receiving Social Security benefits.

To Learn More About So-cial Security

For more information on the role that Social Security benefits will play in your overall finan-cial picture and when may be the best time for you to begin receiving benefits, consult your financial advisor as well as legal and tax advisors regarding your particular situation.

the idaho dance theatre lives in Boise and won a grant from the na-tional endowment for the arts to tour southeastern idaho. the company performs contemporary dance con-certs that feature challenging and ath-letic dancing, innovative and exciting choreography, and always interesting music. now in its 24th season, idt is the premiere professional contempo-rary dance company in idaho.

the performance will include four dances by four different choreogra-phers. co-artistic directors carl rowe and marla Hansen will each present a work. marla Hansen’s “Fractured Silence” uses music by Boise com-poser david allan earnest, a frequent

contributor to the company. the driv-ing percussion and piano music sends dancers flying across the stage in a cir-cus of movement.

carl rowe’s “Streaming” is a more theatrical work with an ebb and flow of moods and intentions. a stunning final section leaves both dancers and audience breathless.

idt will also include in the program the winner of its first annual, national choreography competition, new Vi-sions. Jessica tomlinson of chicago won with “architecture: Splintered and cracked,” a meticulously crafted piece danced to perfection by the idt dancers.

ticket prices are $22/general ad-mission and $12/students.

EMBRaCINg THE EaRTH“Our concern at the moment is with individual you because, in

the end, a nation, a world, is only made up of individual

you and individual me.” —Joel Goldsmith

By Vee riley

A few weeks ago, while strolling through my neighborhood, a feel-

ing of sadness came over me. My eyes caught site of three houses, standing empty, within a one-block radius. These houses, once filled with families shar-ing dreams and hopes, looked abandoned, even though they were built within the last 10 years. My temptation was to close my eyes and shield myself from the heartache. Each mo-ment of our lives we are free to make a new choice in what we are thinking and feeling. In that instant, I chose to look through the situation to the mountains beyond. The abundance of na-ture, sunshine, and white puffy clouds restored my thoughts. My intention was not to deny what was happening, but to see with new eyes.

Change can only come when we, as individuals, shift our perspective. This is a Universal

truth that applies to every man and woman on the planet. As long as there is a seed of doubt, we are blocking the heart and energy of our potential good.

Marianne Williamson, in her new book The Law of Divine Compensation, has this to say: “No matter what is happening in our lives, we choose how we wish to think about it. When you are sitting in front of a pile of bills you don’t know how you’ll pay, or being hounded by credi-tors, or afraid you’ll lose your home; when you’re confronted by images of economic gloom and doom, recession and hardship every day, it’s easy to fear that your financial state will only get worse. It seems easier to have faith in the power of economic loss than have faith in economic recovery.”

Are you feeling yourself at a loss? Trying to figure things out, and wanting to know the reason why this is happening will never bring happiness to your door-step. Intellectual understanding alone does not always work. We must have faith and tune into nature.

Mankind is all one family. This week we are celebrating Earth Day. There is no bet-ter way to ground yourself to

the Earth than the fun-filled ArborFest in Hop Porter Park in Hailey, Saturday, May 4. There will be many opportunities for education on tree planting, so important for the next genera-tion who might even go home with a free tree seedling. Even the mud run can be cleansing for the mind and body.

The Earth has a heartbeat. It is our humble responsibil-ity—the individual you and the individual me—to connect our heartbeats with the one sacred heartbeat of the Earth.

AuthenticFor years my husband Keith

stayed home and raised ourchild while struggling to be awriter. I was very proud whenhe finally published a children'sbook. As a part of the publicity,he was scheduled to sign copiesat a local bookstore.

That evening my 12-year-oldson asked me if he could tagalong to get his Dad's signature.It was such a sweet moment thatI told my son how proud I wasthat he wanted his Dad to sign abook for him. However, that'swhen he let me in on his littlesecret.

"I don't really want him tosign a book," he whispered,showing me a slip of paper. "I'mjust hoping he won't notice he'ssigning my detention slip."

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,My husband is a sports nut. Itdoesn't matter if it is basketball,baseball, hockey or football. Heloves them all. He's the onlyguy I know who mows the lawnand takes out the garbage dur-ing the week just so I don't inter-rupt his game watching on theweekends. I don't mind hisobsession because I like sportsas well. So when I saw a classi-fied ad advertising an auto-graphed baseball of a famousplayer, I decided I had to get itfor my husband's birthday. Onthe phone the man told me thathe was a private collector andhad the ball autographed by theplayer at a convention a fewyears ago. But how can Iauthenticate it? I know this giftwould make my husband ecstat-ic, and I don't want to disap-point him with a fake.Any thoughts so I canmake this the bestbirthday gift ever?

• • •Cash: If your husband is

a big baseball fan, then your giftidea is sure to be a home run!

Carry: However, you're askinga question that plagues even someof the best professionals. Oftenit's extremely difficult or nearlyimpossible to authenticate a signa-

ture, unless you saw the personsign it himself.

Cash: With today's technologythe fakes are getting better and bet-ter. Fortunately, there are somebasics you can follow to make aneducated decision. For example, ifthe gentleman selling the baseballwas present when it was signed,then he may have proof to verify it.

Carry: Ask to see any photos ofhim at the convention. He mayhave captured a picture of himselfwith the player. Also request thedate and location of the conven-tion and verify that the player wasat the event that day.

Cash: The quickest way to spota fake is by confirming all thefacts you're told. A seller who's

being honest will have nothing tohide.

Carry: You can also ask if thegentleman has any certificationfrom the UACC (UniversalAutograph Collector's Club). Thisgroup is a non-profit organizationthat authenticates dealers as well asautographs from sports stars,celebrities and historical figures.They have rigorous standards thatmake it virtually impossible forforgers to get a stamp of approval.

Cash: Since you're a sports fanyourself, this process could be agreat learning experience and a lotof fun. And with your "home run"gift idea, maybe your husbandwill put in some extra innings onthe yard work.

Autograph PleaseAmong the world of Hollywood

signers, some are more willing tooffer an autograph than others.According to AutographMagazine's annual survey, someof the most accommodating sign-ers include Johnny Depp, MattDamon, George Clooney and JackNicholson. On the other end ofthe list for most unwilling andsometimes rude include WillFerrell, Tobey Maguire, JoaquinPhoenix, William Shatner andRenee Zellweger.Signs of History

There is probably no documentmore famous than the Declarationof Independence and no signaturemore commonly referred to thanthat of John Hancock. With suchnotoriety one would expect hissignature to be the most valuableautograph collected in the world.However, that award actually goesto the famous playwright, WilliamShakespeare. With only sixauthenticated signatures knownworldwide and held by variousinstitutions, Shakespeare's auto-graph has been estimated to fetch5 million dollars or more if everauctioned.
