Sun Valley Center for the Arts brings Sweet Plantain to play in Ketchum at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood.

Sweet Plantain, tasty tunesWhy in the world
would a cel-list from
the South Bronx, a violist from New Jersey and two violinists from Venezuela name their group after a banana?
You can thank Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins and Blind Melon for that.
“When I was in college, the grunge era was big. And the bands had names that evoked tastes and colors,” said Sweet Plantain cellist David Gotay. “We wanted something that said right away: This is not
your regular string quartet. Since some
of our group has a Latin background and much of our music is inspired by Latin music, Sweet Plantain
seemed the perfect pick.”
Unlike sweet bananas, plantains need a little cook-
ing and some cre-ative care to produce
an interesting dish. And Gotay and his acoustic string quartet have cooked up a genre-blur-ring blend of Latin, hip-hop, classical and jazz.
Sweet Plantain will play
Ketchum at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood, fresh from a tour in Russia.
“Sweet Plantain struck me with their originality and inter-est in bridging genres. Hearing cellist David Gotay speak about growing up listening to hip-hop and realizing its parallels in classical music was an eye opener,” said Kristine Bretall, marketing director for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.
The group features Venezu-elan violinists Eddie Venegas and Romulo Benavides, who trained at the Julliard School of Music. They are joined by New

Capacity building in a non-profit world
The Wood River Women’s Charitable
Foundation recently spon-sored a forum on “Capacity Building for a Non-Profit Eco-system.” I found it thought-provok-ing.
“Capacity building” for non-profits became a topic of research about 10 years ago. The term refers to strength-ening non-profit organizations so they can better achieve their goals. Put simply, capacity building is about ensuring a non-profit has a well-trained board and staff, a sound organizational structure, and effec-tive operating systems. After all, even the most inspiring mission and programs will falter without organizational capacity to back them up.
In the for-profit world, practices to build an effective organization have been around since the ’60s. The consulting field of “or-ganization development” emerged with the growth of complex organizations to offer

‘Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush’ - Doug Larsen
As our below-aver-age snow-
pack melts, my thoughts have turned to water, or, more specif-ically, to rivers—in so many ways our lifeblood. It was my first trip down the Middle Fork (2002), and I was just stand-ing on the bank staring at the shallow water moving past, as smooth as molten glass. Out-fitter Bill Bernt’s 18-year-old daughter was standing next to me. The water flowed effort-lessly around and over the melon-sized rocks colored by minerals and microorganisms. The supple, organic way it reacted to the slightest undula-tion gave me a thought. “You know, there’s a lesson in that sinuous movement of the wa-ter. That’s how a man should caress a woman.” She turned to me and muttered, “Tell my boyfriend that.” Uh oh. Trouble in paradise.
All rivers have their stories. It’s impossible to run or float one without coming home with stories—our own, those of others who have preceded us, and the river’s. The river does have its own stories to tell. It is, after all, the great presence and actor between the biological and the physical world. The professional guides had to learn how to read the hydraulics, the holes, the ed-dies, the current, in order to negotiate the obstacle course. Hydrologists talk of channels, point bars, crossovers, radius of curvature, sediment load, floodplains, bankfulls and fluvial geomorphology. I’m just an intellectual mutt; a page from here, a page from there, combine with experience and a lyric vision and—voila!—a hybrid ‘river rat’ is born. Learn-ing the vocabularies of the different disciplines is a great way to begin to understand any
natural phenomena, or difficult subject.
Rivers are also alive because they have very differ-ent personalities, and a wild river like the Middle
Fork changes by the mile, or the minute, but more on that later. Scientists refer to a river like this
as one in a state of dynamic equilibrium.
A system of complex checks and balances, feedbacks and accommodations help maintain an ecosystem without destruc-tion or dysfunction. The pols in Washington, D.C., should be so wise.
A quick example of a posi-tive feedback loop is transpira-tion. Through photosynthe-sis, 70 percent of all rain is returned by the vegetation to the atmosphere, which then condenses and returns as rain, maintaining and expanding riverbank vegetation. This ri-parian growth stabilizes banks, creates shade and moder-ates water temperatures. The organically rich vegetative soil absorbs and holds water, reducing runoff, and inhibits flooding. It’s a win-win.
Now for a remarkable factoid. Nature is the great efficiency expert—the most work with the least effort. This is exemplified by the river’s tributary system which exists in accordance with a math-ematical formula. There’s a precise relationship between the rills, brooks, streams and the main river that’s repeated everywhere.
Branches of a tree follow the same rules (trees of life?), as does our entire vascular sys-tem—our blood vessels—from the capillaries to the aorta.

The ICA Scholastic Cham-pionship that recently attracted 270 students
was another wonderful experi-ence for the Wood River High School chess team. Games were tough, as expected, but our goals were to be the top team and to take home some individual trophies.
We accomplished this and more! Wood River High School is the number one team in the state of Idaho. There were three teams competing in the championship section: Borah High School, Rigby High School and Wood River High School.
Our team started out very slowly, with no Round 1 wins. In Round 2, Taylor Walton (2 pts.) and Andrew Uriarte (3 pts.) earned our first victories against the two other teams. Nick Bruck (2 1/2 pts.) earned a draw and Miles had to play one of our own and earned a win. Round 3 produced naught, as all Wood River competitors were paired against one another. As ex-pected, we were only one point ahead of the other teams enter-ing Round 4. In Round 5, Nick and Tyler Jaramillo (2 pts.) each took another win from the other two teams and created a two-point lead for our team and Wood River ended with the first-place team trophy. Great job, guys!
In the seventh-through-ninth-grade section, Desmond Porth (2 pts.) and Riley Neel (2 pts.), both in seventh-grade,
had a daunting task of play-ing more experienced players and struggled throughout the tournament. The only elementary entrants included Darwin Porth (2 pts.) and Dylan Porth (4 pts.) from Bel-levue Elementary. Darwin is a preschooler that played in the kindergarten section. In Round 1, Darwin was getting his tour-nament legs under him.
The future holds great things for these kids. In all, five trophies—first, three seconds and a sixth place for our 11 kids. For more information contact Adam Porth, [email protected], or come to the club to play on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:30-5:30 p.m. at WRHS, rm. C214.

Never dull with KoskiSome people dance
to the beat of a differ-
ent drummer. They just see the world in a dif-ferent light and their lives enrich everyone around them. Such is the case with Commu-nity School senior Noah Koski who, believe it or not, manages to exist in the 21st century without a cell phone. “I don’t really need it,” he says. And with his powerful abil-ity to communicate, it’s easy to see why. Whether its hula hooping or teaching himself the piano, there’s never a dull moment with Koski.
Born in Fremont, California, he moved to the Valley when he was two years old and has been attending The Community School since kindergarten. “I love it here, it’s wonderful, but I really don’t know anywhere else, so it all seems so normal to me. It isn’t about the moun-tain. It’s just a homey place with a small-town feel. When I was younger I only wanted to live in a city, but the Valley is so familiar that I’m just not that into cities anymore.” Koski has traveled to France, the Mountain West, Seattle and San Francisco, but “I always feel like coming home. I also love adventure and backpack-ing and going places. Cities are great but all I want to do is backpack through a mountain range.”
Koski will certainly get that opportunity next year when he backpacks and travels through the exotic country of Iceland. “I’ve been obsessed with the
place for five years and I’ve done a lot
of research and found it to be the most beautiful place on earth. I wanted a year off before college
and thought it would be a great
experience to back-pack through the coun-
try. I have absolutely no plans. I’ll be there and see it and leave when I’m ready.”
After Iceland, he will be at-tending Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. “It’s in a beautiful rainforest and I like that it’s super-liberal. A lot of people have recommended it to me. I was going to go to design school and probably will still end up in one. I can always transfer if I want to.” He still has to finish up at The Com-munity School this year. “It’s been the greatest experience. Our classes are all between five and twelve people and you re-ally develop a special relation-ship with your teachers. My class is the greatest and most of us have been together since kindergarten and are like one big happy family.”
At The Community School, Koski has poured himself into the theater, doing close to fif-teen productions since middle school. He started in first grade and most recently played the lead in Rhinoceros. He has also performed in Suburbia and Hair at St. Thomas Church. “I treat everyday life as acting. I’ve always done it and I find it really enjoyable. I find that I’m process-oriented, not result-driven, so I love the whole process, from the start through
rehearsals and the actual per-formance. I wouldn’t say I’m a method actor, but I like to stay in a character throughout the school day.”
Another thing Koski likes is to teach himself how to play musical instruments – pri-marily, the piano. “I’ve loved music since I was a little kid and refused to work on what my music teacher wanted me to work on. I’ve taught myself to read sheet music and over the years I’ve cycled through a dozen instruments, although I’m most proficient at the piano. I love classical, jazz and electronica, but I get a lot of grief because I’m not into rock and rap and I’m definitely not into the Beatles.” He also loves to hula hoop, which he has been doing for five years after being turned on to it by his mother. But these are big hoops, sometimes up to 6 feet in diameter, and he can manipulate them from head to foot with a precise efficiency. “It’s really fun. It’s also relax-ing and sort of a meditation for me.” It is a unique outlet for a rather unique student.

CHapter 6I remember when spring
break meant just that. A break. From everything. School, work, responsibilities, routines. It meant sun, fun, traveling with too many people and too much stuff in small cars to beaches packed with thousands of kids in the same vaycay mode.
I can’t say I don’t miss those carefree days. At the same time, I’m happy to be in a more settled spot. Satisfying work. Good friends. A relatively solid, predictable future. Still, this past spring break left me in neutral, not wild fun, yet not altogether a disappointment. I did what I thought I’d never do. A staycation.
It started with a great ski day, followed by several per-fect bluebird mountain days. New spring snow, no lift lines, a little sun and some good friends. I’d have to say that a home-based vacation here is still one-up on about 90 percent of any other destina-tion. I spent the week exploring backcountry trails with my best four-footed friend, testing res-taurants with friends and great success. And the live music scene here? Pretty impressive for a little ole ski town.
Most mornings started slow, with a bachelor breakfast, max-imum coffee, and ridiculous conversations with Tweet. For a bird, he’s pretty good compa-ny. I do wish he hadn’t learned such colorful Spanish, how-ever. What was funny in college has lost a little of its appeal. I’m still amused, though, by some of the cooperative tricks he does with Bud, like rid-ing around on his back while waiting for their own grub to
be dished. And I have to laugh whenever Tweet does his own version of the “shuffle.”
Pets and good friends, great skiing and awesome music, a world-class resort at my feet, I should have felt nothing but gratitude. I easily spent the week going from one activity or event to another, one invite to the next, acting like a tour-ist, although a very savvy one, and loving every minute of it. Something was missing though. I snuck a peek at the silent phone laying on the table. No new messages. Was I really that disposable? Did I really deserve this kind of a dump? Was I even really dumped?
Maybe I was being too criti-cal of the whole thing, making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe Lana was wishing for a call from me, wondering when she’d hear my voice again beckoning her to head back to Idaho for another visit. Well, no way to know unless I call, right?
I picked up the phone, slid my index finger down the list and got to Lana’s name. I lifted from the touchscreen just in time to avoid a send. Think about this one, buddy. Do ya’ really want this?
As I was staring down the app of the Baldy trail map, in the last, quiet, reflective morn-ing of the break, the phone jazzed up and danced to the Dave Matthews ringtone. Not Lana. But a number I’d not seen in a very long time.
“Hullo?”

briefsBloomin’ Blue lunch
The Blaine County Chapter of the Idaho Democratic Women’s Caucus will hold a luncheon on Saturday, March 27 at noon in the Sun Valley lodge Dining Room. Phone Gini at 720-4347 or Betty at 726-6423 for reservations.
Count cookies for $300Guess how many dog cookies
are in the jar and win $300! Each guess is only $5. All proceeds go to support the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. The winner will be announced at the Fur Ball on April 2 at The Mint in Hailey. You do not need to be present to win.
The cookie count jars are at The Barkin’ Basement, 111 S. Main St., Hailey, Hailey Coffee Company, 219 S. Main St., Hailey, D.ll Ev-ans Bank, 680 Sun Valley Road, Ketchum, and Thunderpaws Pet Shoppe, 151 Main St., Ketchum. Stop by to count the cookies and support the shelter!
The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, the first “no-kill” shel-ter in Idaho, promotes companion animal welfare by providing tempo-rary shelter for homeless animals, adopting them to qualified homes and reducing animal abuse, ne-glect and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. More than 90 percent of its funding comes from private donations.
In 2008 more than 1,500 ani-mals received services from the shelter. This includes 407 animals that were adopted, 263 lost ani-mals that were reunited with their owners, and 421 privately-owned animals that were spayed or neu-tered at no cost to their owners. On an average day, the shelter cares for 45 dogs and 45 cats.
Additional information is avail-able by calling 208-788-4351 or on the Internet at www.animalshel-terwrv.org.
Food for thoughtSpring is definitely in the air, but
the economic picture for many is not so rosy. According to Hunger in Idaho 2010, a landmark study re-leased by the Idaho Food Bank this month, 34 percent of Idahoans choose between paying their rent or mortgage and paying for food. Blaine County is no exception. As with the rest of Idaho, and the rest of the nation, many are facing criti-cal decisions on a daily basis.
Considering this, who has any-thing left over to donate? This is the serious dilemma facing The Hunger Coalition today. Numbers are steady and the demand for help is constant, but donations are down. As a major provider of food assistance to the hungry in Blaine County, The Hunger Coalition re-lies on donations of cash and food to feed up to 350 families every month.
Through partnerships with state-wide agencies, they are leverag-ing their purchasing power. Every $10 cash donation can be turned into $100 worth of food thanks to these partnerships. Dedicated vol-unteers pick up donations of fresh food daily from local grocers, in-creasing the nutritional value and variety of the foods available for distribution. Innovation, partner-ships, a dedicated group of volun-teers and donors are what make it possible for The Hunger Coalition’s small staff to feed hundreds of our community members.
Without money and food, there won’t be anything to distribute. And this is the real concern for the hungry throughout our community. Is there something you can do to help? Visit their Web site at: www.thehungercoalition.org for informa-tion on how you can help or call 788-0121.

PRICELESS
Big Wood Preschool Gallery WalkTheir names aren’t William
Morris or Dale Chihuly.Instead, they go by
names like Leo Molter and Agnes Kind.
But like the Chihulys of the world, these tiny tots have found their work the focal point of a Gallery Walk.
The Big Wood Preschool, which is located in the Presby-terian Church of the Big Wood, recently staged a Gallery Walk, complete with young women serving up hors d’oeuvres and apple juice.
There were abstracts and mosaics on loan from teacher Julie Swenke’s galleries, abstract pastels and charcoal works from the galleries of Catalina Morales; cut-paper constructions; mixed media presented as a gift from the Silvia Mo-rales’ Foundation; watercolors from the combined col-lection of Cathy Largent and L. Fraser; and a 3D display provided by the Alice M. Stonebraker Puglia Family Trust.
The 85 artists whose work hung on the wall ranged in age from 18 months to six years.
“It’s a fun way to show the parents what their children have been accomplishing,” said director Billie Brown.
Indeed, proud parents and a few members of the communi-ty filled the halls, pointing out certain works and snapping pictures of others.
There was even a show-stop-per that undoubtedly resulted
in a few whiplashes—an exhibi-tion of youngsters’ pictures on Styrofoam cups holding grass called “Hairy Heads.”
“This is a great idea,” said Kneeland Gallery manager Carey Molter, as she snapped a
picture of her son’s owl, which evoked a flair for Cubism. “I’ve often thought it would be fun to do something like this in the gallery during a slow period.”
Andy Gilbert’s eyes bug out at seeing the Hairy Heads as leo Molter looks on.PHOTO: KAREN BOSSICK/TWP

To Your Health~ good advice from local practitioners ~
by KathLeen L. turner
Seeking a cure for cancer is obviously an extremely valuable and desirable
pursuit. But, if you could take steps to prevent, or at least significantly reduce, the odds of a cancer diagnosis, wouldn’t that be the better choice?
Cancer research has taught us many things about how to do just that. There are stud-ies galore that expose specific ingredients as carcinogens, others as just the opposite. If we are willing to do a little reading, to make a few chang-es, and to actively go about our daily routines in ways that prevent, rather than encourage, the development of abnormal cancer cells, we can improve the odds of hearing that dreaded diagnosis.
Many people find the infor-mation conflicting. That is no surprise. Manufacturers of products that contain ingredi-ents listed on the EPA’s list of toxic chemicals spend a great deal of time and money to dis-credit information that might give their products a bad name. How is a consumer to choose the right path?
The chemical names often seem long and confusing, and many of us are just lazy about learning the facts, but it’s not really very hard to make some significant changes. For start-ers, there are a couple of things that are pretty universal. While exceptions exist, we know that smoking is directly attributable to certain types of cancer. If you smoke, that’s one of the most important behaviors to consider changing.
Other products we know contain carcinogenic or cancer-causing substances include processed meats such as hot dogs and whole milk. Boy, howdy, we love our hot dogs at ball games and on the Fourth of July. And what could seem healthier for a young, grow-ing child than a tall glass of cold milk with that dog? While one hot dog or an occasional milk mustache will not likely predispose one to cancer, the collective effects of the hun-dreds of chemicals we take in from foods, pharmaceuticals
and personal care products can set the stage for abnormal cell development and cancer.
Conventionally produced, processed meats often contain benzene hexachloride, dacthal, dieldrin, heptachlor, hexachlo-robenzene and/or lindane, all carcinogens. Such meats also often contain nitrites, which interact with amine groups in the meat to form harmful nitrosamines.
Conventional whole milk products often contain DDT, dieldrin, heptachlor and RGBH, recombinant bovine growth hormone, all of which increase the chances of breast, colon and prostate cancers. Choos-ing meat and dairy products without nitrites or RBGH significantly improves your odds against a cancer diagno-sis. In contrast, many naturally occurring chemicals in dark colored fruits and vegetables offer protection in that they seek and find abnormal cells, causing apoptosis or cell death, nipping potential problems in the process.
What else do we know? Quaternium 15, formaldehyde, saccharin and FD&C red dye #40 are all present in many personal care products we use on our bodies every day. They are also known carcinogens. Choosing products that do not contain these ingredients is another way to sidestep cancer.
We also know that many toxins are stored in fat cells. Maintaining a healthy weight goes a long way toward avoid-ing many health problems, so get moving. And that does not mean “in your car.”
For more information go to the American Cancer Society Web site at www.cancer.org and click or search for known carcinogens list. The EPA known carcinogens list can be requested via a phone call to the the EPA office in Wash., DC, at (703) 305-5017.

eats & entertainment
Remember those things you said you wanted just a few short months ago? Do you still want them? If things haven’t quite worked out to bring about the success of your New Year’s resolutions for 2010, this could be the fresh start you need. It’s the first full week of the Aries solar journey of 2010, featuring increased energy reserves just waiting for us to tap in to. Aries declares, “I am!” Seize this moment to define yourself anew.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). No wonder people want to be around you. You are cheerful, interested and helpful. What they don’t know is that you may not actually be feeling that way on the inside -- at least not at first. But your habit of acting as though you feel terrific always wins out eventually, and you become just as happy as the act.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Reaching out, caring and building relationships through shared fun are serious business, worthy of your best attention. If you have trouble allow-ing yourself to cut loose, tell yourself that you’re doing it for the survival of the human species, which depends on the connections we make with one another.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You wouldn’t mind if a certain person paid a little more (or a lot more) at-tention to you. You can be captivat-ing when you put your mind to it. You may be moving too fast, not giving this person the chance to notice you. Slow it down to half the speed, and you may very well attract the atten-tion you’ve been craving all along.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be putting your whole self into a job, and you will succeed because you are brave enough to do this. Oth-ers in your position have held back, afraid of the criticism they would get and the pain that might cause. You realize that what others think of your
work is not the point -- at least not at this juncture.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being creative is not just about being able to paint a picture. It takes imagina-tion to solve even the most practical of business, finance or basic lifestyle issues. A sensitive artist type will bring out your creativity this week. Although, you’re already so inspired that it really doesn’t take much coax-ing to light your fire.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll need your environment to serve a different function than it once did. You’ll be designing a space to new specifications. Maybe you’ll be turn-ing an area into a workspace. You’ll be extremely productive once this project is finished, though it may take a while. Keep only what is use-ful or positively meaningful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a bit of trouble with someone who is too self-conscious to understand what you need, let alone deliver it. Consider how insecure and fragile this person must feel. That will help you think the nicest thought possible when you look into his or her eyes. Believing the best in people just might make it so.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be harder to connect with some-one you know well than it is to con-nect with a stranger. That’s because there’s so much water under the bridge with your familiar one. Not to worry, there is hope in mending things or breathing new excitement into them. Start simple. Detect the other person’s energy, and respond.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have put yourself in such a posi-tion that there is no backing down. You knew this would be the way, and on some level, you did it on purpose. You knew that if you had no choice, you would be forced to succeed -- and succeed you will. You are ca-pable of a great deal more than you
imagine.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The old methods of managing your personal life need an update, and an organized friend helps you forge new habits. This weekend, you will finally be participating in that event you’ve been looking forward to for so long -- and yes, the experience will be all you had hoped it would be. A Taurus is your lucky contact.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve put off a pleasurable task long enough. Why delay your satisfaction any longer? You deserve to feel just as taken care of as the people you have been caring for. This weekend, everyone enjoys being generous with you, so you may as well get used to it. Your sincere thanks is all they want in return.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The mistake happened when you backed off instead of going forward. You didn’t want to push it. Unfortunately, the path of least resistance is not always readily available to you. The problem you face can only be solved with more courage, endurance or re-solve. And you might have to push, too. That’s what’s called for.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: This year turns up your zest for life. The increased passion touches your personal life first, and relationships become both exciting and tender through April. You discover your independence at work in May. A wound of the spirit will be healed in June. Your finances will reflect your improved self-esteem, and you’ll work hard and smart enough to net a big summer bonus. Education and travel will be featured in September. 2011 kicks off with a meaningful and memorable kiss.

‘Diary Of A Wimpy Kid’ so-so
Is there a worse time in life than that between child-hood and being a teenager?
Today we call it a tweener, but despite what you want to call it, most likely it’s sheer hell. And for most of us the fun and games are played out in middle school in what seems to be one long downer. The first year in middle school can be the worst, and sixth grade is where we find the eleven-year-olds who star in the new kid’s film, Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
The movie is based on the hugely successful illustrated books by Jeff Kinney that have sold over 16 million copies. It
follows the story of a bright, precocious kid who dreams of success and the top spot in his grade’s social pecking order. Unfortunately, the books don’t trans-late to the screen the way the produc-ers had hoped and plays instead like a lukewarm Mal-colm In The Middle. Zachary Gordon plays the lead ‘wimpy kid’ experiencing his first year of middle school. He is faced with the usual problems—a torturing older brother, a best friend played by Robert Capron who continually embarrasses him, and a new life surrounded by geeks and what he affec-tionately calls ‘morons.’ The truth of the matter is that most of Gordon’s problems are self-
inflicted and this fact lends to the charac-
ter’s lack of charm and the audiences inability to root for him.
Much of the blame lies with
the uninspired direction of Thor
Freudenthal who turns the books into a
series of vignettes that never really build into the story. He does make good use of cartoon illustrations that sprinkle the film as well as workmanlike performances from the two parents – Rachel Harris and Steve Zahn. But like his lead’s failed attempt to climb the school social ladder, this film also fails to climb as a comedy that entertains and amuses.

Staycation Scavenger Hunt
Orange balloons made festive flanks on Main Street last Thurs-day and Friday as 58 businesses
opened their doors for Hailey’s Spring Break Staycation Scavenger Hunt.
About 150 children participated in the Scavenger Hunt.
During Friday’s wrap-up there were live performances from Disciples of Rock, and another group from Music ‘n Me. There was also a bouncy castle for children to burn off any extra energy they may have had left over after hit-ting the streets to visit so many Hailey businesses.

Winding down, gearing upDang…The ski
season is fast wind-
ing down, even though it’s still March. So you’d better get out and get your kicks on the snow while you can.
Skiing on Baldy continues to be good—and, yes, the turns in the sun are nice even at 9 in the morn-ing. It’s been just cool enough, however, that you can easily show up at noon and still get the best turns of the day.
The Sun Valley Nordic Cen-ter has closed for the season, unable to mount a defense against this winter’s warm temperatures and stingy snow. It is, recalls longtime valley resident Jean Cooper, perhaps the earliest the Nordic Center has ever closed.
The Wood River bike path, likewise, has started feeling the steely cut of the snowplow as the Blaine County Recreation District readies it for summer biking. Don’t be too hasty to pump up your tires, though—there’s still plenty of snow several stretches along the path, including West Ketchum and the Cold Springs area.
Who has time for biking, any-way, when there’s still plenty of good Nordic skiing to be had along the Harriman Trail and the trails to the north. The best skiing is on freshly groomed trails. Grooming has ended for the season at Lake Creek.
Celebrate the pending end of the Nordic season by taking part in the for-fun, not-a-race Galena Spring Loppett on Sun-day. Don a costume and either classic or skate skis and do a 20-kilometer tour of Galena’s perimeter trails.
Leave your Power Bars at home, as there will be aid stations with donuts, coffee and cocoa along the trail. The whole thing is free, however, you’re welcome to bring a gift to put in the pot in exchange for another gift. Call 726-4010 for more information.
The Sun Valley Ski Club and Sun Valley Resort will host the 2010 USSA Masters Alpine Nationals for five days begin-ning Monday.
More than 300 of the best Masters racers in the United States will compete in Super Combined, Super G, GS and Slalom races through April 2 on Baldy.
And the final chapter in Sun Valley’s new Lunar Eclipse Rail Jam Series will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at Dollar Mountain. The jam will be complemented by barbecue ‘fixins ‘on the deck of Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge and dee-jay music.
Value season starts on Baldy on Tuesday, with adult passes selling for $56 and children’s for $34. Early/late season pass holders should dig out their passes as the season heads toward its closing day on April 18, as well.
Calling all raCersCalling all children for the
33rd Annual Hobson Memorial
Race.The race will begin at 10:30
a.m. at Dollar Mountain. Dead-line for registration is 5 p.m. Thursday at www.svsef.org or by calling 726-4129.
Racers must be members of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Race entry is $12 per racer and will include hot chocolate and cookie. Costumes are encouraged.
Each racer gets two runs—the fastest run will determine whether they walk away with a trophy.
Extra parking is available in the lot across from Sun Valley’s indoor race rink.
Those who would like to help with the race are encouraged to contact Heather Daves at 578-2127 or Carrie Ritzel at 928-6248.

Jersey-born violist Orlando Wells and Gotay, whose own path took him from the Bronx to Carnegie Hall.
Much of the group’s reper-toire is rooted in improvisa-tion, which the four try to weave into classical music.
“We’re one of the few string quartets I know of that write the majority of the music we perform,” Gotay said. “When you think of a string quartet ,you usually think of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. But our music is a derivative of our culture with the Latin, jazz and hip-hop, and it incorporates improvisation the same way a jazz quintet would.”
While here, Sweet Plantain will do a school residency. The group runs a string program at a school in the South Bronx, a neighborhood with one of the highest poverty rates in the United States.
“We’ve been able to bridge the generational divide. We play concerts for older crowds and we play at colleges,” Gotay said. “Young people gravitate to our music because we take classical and combine it with the music that we’ve been listening to all our lives. Part of our relevance is performing the music we love to listen to.”

a broad range of mission-sup-port services such as strategic planning, marketing strategy, budgeting and financial fore-casting, and human resource programs. Forty years later, beginning in roughly 2001, these same practices were cited as important for non-profit organizations under the term “capacity building.”
Why the lag between the growth of “organization devel-opment” in the for-profit world and that of “capacity building” in the not-for-profit world? Two dynamics are likely. First, nurtured by a full-bore economy, the non-profit sec-tor has experienced huge and diverse growth since the late 1980’s. Second, venture capital-ists have increasingly moved toward hands-on involvement with non-profits and imported many of the lessons they learned in the business world.
The convergence of organiza-tion development and capacity building makes sense given that most organizations, profit or non-profit, grow in similar ways. The best are entrepre-neurial at first: a passionate individual with a novel idea to meet a consumer or civic need springs into action, creates a desirable product or service, assembles a team, finds financ-ing, and presents his or her brainchild to the world. If the brainchild develops traction, a supporting organization evolves through baby steps to start-up status to burgeoning success to established matu-rity.
There is another convergence point emerging as well. Tradi-tionally, for-profits have aimed to make money for sharehold-ers while not-for-profits have aimed to respond altruistically to civic needs. Increasingly, this difference is fading as businesses practice social entrepreneurship, i.e. donating a share of their profits to non-profit efforts, and non-profits look to create sustainable income-generating ventures. Simply put, any organization will more successfully pursue its mission when it is well run in a supportive community/so-cial context (or ecosystem) and
has a year-upon-year reliable funding stream.
The Wood River Valley has an estimated 120-160 non-profits of which 15-20 are well-established. All of them could benefit from the follow-ing three capacity builders to greater or lesser degree, but especially the younger, smaller organizations:1. Board development. This
includes items like a proven recruitment process for new members, orientation to the non-profit’s history and mission, and accountability for respon-sibilities.
2. Executive director and staff development. This includes items like leadership/ manage-ment training, job descriptions, performance reviews, and guid-ance for strategic collaboration with other non-profits.
3. Operating support. This covers items like up-to-date technol-ogy, office space and staff, internal communications, and legal, accounting, and other professional services. Each non-profit can and
should address capacity build-ing for its own purposes. Many of the larger ones in the Valley already do. The question raised at the Women’s Charitable Foundation forum, however, was how capacity building might be implemented in a broader, more coordinated way for our valley’s entire non-profit sector. In other words, can we build a community eco-system that nurtures non-profit suc-cess? For example, might we create a centralized outreach program to help non-profits identify appropriate granting agencies, potential volunteers, willing board members, train-ing and development profes-sionals, and opportunities for collaboration and networking? It’s certainly worth the discus-sion.

Now that temperatures are ris-ing, here are some ideas for mak-ing your spring green. Make sure you are turning down your thermo-stats or re-adjusting your program-mable thermostats.
Now is a good time to check for leaks around your house if you did not already before fall.
Open your windows, let the fresh air in! Put away sweaters, use natural moth repellents like cedar blocks, sachets with lavender, thyme, peppermint or rosemary. Do not use moth balls which con-tain toxic pesticides like Naphtha-lene, a poisonous gas.
When cleaning, be sure to use non-toxic products or make your own. Vinegar and baking soda cost a fraction of commercial products and work surprisingly well.
Recycle old magazines and newspapers. Dispose of hazard-
ous material properly. For recy-cling pickup of old paint, dried up Christmas trees or broken appli-ances, call Clear Creek 726-9600. Or recycle at Ohio Gulch Transfer Station.
Go through your wardrobe and donate items you do not wear to a charity or to a local thrift shop. Too much to handle? Have a yard sale!
As we begin to enjoy the warmer days and the snow-free trails, make an effort to pick up trash along the trails, and don’t forget to take a plastic bag along with you.
Take action. You don’t have to donate money to make a differ-ence. Volunteer in your community or at work. If you haven’t already done so, organize recycle bins, start carpools, share your organic gardens.
Share your ideas. ERC 726-4333 www.ercsv.org

Shalala talks health careThe day after
Congress passed his-
toric health care reform legisla-tion, Wood River Valley residents were treated to the kind of gather-ing all Americans should have been so fortunate to have:
Something resembling an educational town hall with none other than former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala to answer all their questions.
“Holy moly! Who knew our timing could be so good,” said Britt Udesen, education direc-tor for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, which brought Shalala to Sun Valley.
We’d known issue was pivotal and polarizing, Udesen added. “But we thought by March 22 they would have it all figured out.”
Shalala called herself a longtime visitor to Sun Val-ley, having first come here 35 years ago with Sun Valley founder Averell Harriman. And she seemed every bit at ease talking with a full house at the Church of the Big Wood as she did with the Sun Valley homeowners she counts her friends—from Edgar Bronfman and Maxine Isaacs to Teresa Heinz and John Kerry.
As someone who has worked with both President Clinton and George W. Bush, she spent 45 minutes offering her own thoughts about the historic health care reform. Then she spent another 45 minutes field-ing questions with such ease that it wasn’t hard to imagine she could have quoted the page in the bill the answer came from.
Shalala conceded that Americans don’t like big social policies. But you’ll never see
anyone touch Social Security or Medicare
in a major way be-cause those pro-grams are now so interwoven into our societal fab-ric, Shalala said.
They’re “middle aged subsidies”
that have permitted the American families to
send their children to college and buy a home. Americans couldn’t have afforded those things if they’d had to pay for the things Social Security and Medicare provided for their ag-ing parents, Shalala said.
When LBJ signed Medicare into law, a New York Times re-porter told him, “Thank you on behalf of my mother,” Shalala recounted. LBJ replied, “Thank me on behalf of yourself.”
“These programs make people much less dependent on their children. They’ve transformed what it means to be old in America,” she said.
Health care reform was the logical next step, given that we’ve already taken care of seniors, the disabled and poor women and their children, she added.
What’s left are uninsured Americans, 80 percent of whom work. The others that have been left out are those with pre-existing conditions that deny them health care coverage. And that long list of pre-existing conditions includes things like asthma, Shalala pointed out.
All of us are already subsi-dizing those without health care, she said, whether it be the extra $1,500 tacked onto the sale of an American-made car or the 11 percent rate increase Shalala’s own health insurance company charged her this year.
In addition to helping the poor and those with pre-exist-ing conditions, the new legisla-
tion will enable parents to keep their college-aged children on their policies until they’re 26, help seniors with prescription drug costs and increase reim-bursements for primary care physicians in part to help them pay their student loans.
Shalala said she doesn’t believe Republicans will be able to repeal the act, as they’ve threatened. Nor does she think legal challenges have any chance. What’s more, she said, she doubts states will opt out of the plan, despite their rheto-ric, given the resources that will be invested in the working class people.
Shalala noted that many of the ideas in the health care plan were formulated by Re-publicans like Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Still she was surprised Republicans didn’t step up with an alternate plan.
“Starting over would be an interesting argument—if we knew what the Republicans wanted to do.”
sHalala soundbitesThe biggest socialist health
care system in the world is the Veterans Administration.
Medicare has an 87 percent satisfaction rate but its pay-ments need to be equalized across the nation.
Get people to eat right, exercise and stop smoking and we’ll have plenty of money for health care in this country.
It’s fair to pay pharma-ceutical companies for drug research but we shouldn’t pay them for advertising. Because we do, Americans pay more than any other country in the world for the same exact drug.
Affordable health care is defined as 9 percent of your income, according to the new legislation. For low-income people, it starts at 2 or 3 per-cent.

meat after family butchering day. Scrap pork meat was cooked and mixed with Indian meal (cornmeal) and, after cooking, put in loaf pans to cool and congeal.
Within hours, or the next morning, you can turn the loaf out on a cutting board and slice 3/8-inch pieces which are either fried or baked on a cookie sheet. It’s a take-off of fried mush or what many today term polenta. No matter what you call it, here’s how to make some cornmeal that you won’t soon forget.
Take a pound of good country sausage and fry it until somewhat browned. Drain excess grease and set aside. To a 4-quart pan, add 5 cups of water, a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of black pepper and up to a teaspoon of sage if you care for the spice. Bring to a boil. Add two cups of cornmeal (we use the bulk cornmeal that is available locally). Stir continually, since it will pop and splatter out of the pan. Add the cooked sausage and cook for about 15 minutes or until quite dry.
Spray a couple of bread loaf pans and, after cooking, divide the mixture between them. Cover and cool. When cooled, it will be sliceable with a clean knife. These slices can be fried for about 10 minutes on each side or baked at about 375 degrees on a cookie sheet for about 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Bake it longer if you like it more crisp. We use it for a weekend breakfast treat. Enjoy.
Thank you, Dennis, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone! If you have (or know someone who has) a recipe to share, e-mail [email protected]

Music to My EarsFrom the moment my friend
Jake told me that he was gettingmarried, Jenn, his bride-to-be,took over planning every detailand left Jake out of most of it.
Needless to say, I was sur-prised when he called and askedme to find him a band for hisreception. As a radio DJ, Ipulled a few strings and got himthe hottest band in the area.However, when I called to givehim the great news, he told meit probably wasn't going to workout.
"What do you mean?" I said."These guys are perfect."
"Well," he sighed. "WhenJenn told me I could pick thewedding 'band', apparently sheonly meant the style of myring!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,HELP! I'm getting cold feet andneed advice. It all started twoweeks ago when I decided toask my girlfriend to marry me.After dating for a few months, Irealized she was the one. Then,last week, my mom and daddecided to have a yard sale.Besides selling the usual stuff,my mom decided to clean outher closet of dresses, blousesand pants that no longer fit. Ididn't know they were havingthe sale when my new fiancéand I stopped by to share thegood news. While we werethere, some of the clothescaught her eye, so mymom gave them to her.When we got home,she tried them on. As shefashioned the new outfits,it suddenly dawned on me. OHMY GOD, I'm marrying my moth-er! As I thought about it, sheeven has the same hair color,eye color and personality. Nowshe has her clothes! Maybe Ishould call it off before this getsworse. What do you think?
• • •Carry: Some say that when the
going gets tough, the tough goshopping. Maybe it's time to takeyou fiancé out for some newclothes, and this time, avoid your
parent's yard sale.Cash: Getting married can be
stressful, even before you startplanning the event. You've made abig decision recently and it's com-mon to revisit the idea, especiallyconsidering your recent wardrobedilemmas.
Carry: The truth is that youmay actually be marrying some-one who has similar attributes toyour mother. There are manystudies that suggest people seekout relationships with others whohave similar physical or emotionaltraits as their parents. It tends tooffer a sense of connection andcomfort. Although, Freud proba-bly has a few very interesting the-ories on that matter as well!
Cash: Despite your fiancé's
newfound resemblance to yourmother, don't let the new clothingdecide your future. Before youmake any final decisions, cleanout the closet. Tell your fiancéthat the clothes make you feeluncomfortable and offer to takeher shopping instead. She's sureto agree to a shopping trip!
Carry: If you find you're stillunsure of your decision to getmarried, find someone to talk toabout it, like a therapist or closefriend. Sometimes just talkingthrough the jitters is enough towarm those cold feet.
Cash: And the next time youplan on stopping by your parent'shouse, be sure to call first to makesure they're not selling anythingelse!

Warming UpWhile most engagements are
met with sheer joy and happiness,"cold feet" is more common thanyou might think. As your "single-life" ends, there's often a sense ofworry about losing independenceor breaking family connections.Most experts agree that it's best towork through these feelingsbefore proceeding, rather thanshying away from the anxiety.Some suggest journaling to reflectyour thoughts or confiding in aprofessional or friend.Wedding Bliss
Many marriages seem to havetheir ups and downs. And thesame seems to be true of the mar-riage rate over the past 50 years.Between 1960 and 1990, the num-ber of marriages per year continu-ally increased from 1.51 million to2.44 million. However, since 1991there has been a steady decrease inthe number of matrimonies. Year2008, with 2.16 million marriages,was the lowest since the recordhigh in 1990. Fortunately for busi-nesses, the wedding industry isstill worth an estimated 71 billiondollars annually. The averagewedding costs around $31,000 andinvolves 169 guests.Do you have a question or funny story about the classifieds? Want to just give us youropinion? Email us at: [email protected].
