Chrissy Gove brakes on her paddleboard. Paddling and balancing uses more leg and core muscles than you’d think, she says.

Paddleboarding makes a splashTwo local

shops sell and rent boards

Chrissy Gove cut a sleek figure as she

skimmed across Redfish Lake, stretching out to take long strokes with her long-shaft-ed paddle as motorboats buzzed by a couple hundred feet away.

“Look,” said one man, looking up from the beach where he’d been sunning himself. “Is that woman walking on water?”

Not quite.But the Ketchum woman did

often appear to have achieved an other-

worldly status as light waves rolled over her board.

“It certainly is peaceful and relaxing, even on a busy lake like

Redfish,” she said.It can be a jolt

stumbling across a surf-board in a landlocked back-

country ski shop like Ketchum’s Backwoods Mountain Sports.

But stand-up paddleboard-ing, also known as stand-up paddlesurfing, is one of the fast-est growing sports worldwide, according to surfer magazines, said Backwoods sales represen-tative Casey Schaefer.

The industry is approaching $10 billion in sales as the sport is catching on even in landlocked mid-America. Even Costco started selling stand-up boards this summer.

Paddleboarding challenges participants with a balancing act that strengthens the muscles of the legs, buttocks, stomach, back, shoulders and arms.

Triathletes are using them for cross-training. And some yoga instructors are even conducting classes on paddleboards, accord-ing to The Wall Street Journal.

Hooves over

Hokiesby Karen bossicK

Ketchum residents Julie and Richard Dahlgren will return in triumph today after surviving Monday night’s

hard-hitting contest between the Boise State Broncos and the Virginia Tech Hokies.

But their first stop will probably be for a hearing aid.

“I’ve seen a lot of football games, but that was definitely the loudest stadium I’ve ever been in. The Hokies are very noisy and they’re also very physical, jumping up and down. You couldn’t hear yourself think,” said Julie Dahlgren, Blaine County School Board president and a student at BSU where she is studying for a doctorate in educational policy.

The couple spent nearly three days travel-ing on a train from Salt Lake City to Wash-ington, D.C. Then they joined some 20,000 other Idahoans clad in blue and orange seeing the D.C. sights as they awaited the big game.

At FedExField, which at 85,000 seats is nearly three times the size of BSU’s 32,000-seat stadium, Julie found herself texting to family and friends, including Boise School District clerk Laurie Kaufman who kept looking on TV for the BSU cap that is always firmly planted on Richard’s head.

Julie was not alone –everyone, she said, was texting and taking pictures with smart phones between plays.

But Dahlgren pulled her fingers away from the phone during the final drive that resulted in a 13-yard game winning touchdown from Kellen Moore to Austin Pettis with seconds left.

“I kept my fingers crossed during that play,” she said.

Was she nervous?“I was calm, very calm. That drive was

classic BSU—very calm. It’s admirable to be that calm in those circumstances.”

Music and engi-neering are an odd mix.

But for College of Idaho junior Alan Beserra, they are the two disciplines that define his life. “Music means everything to me, but I also have a love of anything mechanical,” he said.

Beserra was born in Fresno, Calif., grew up in Modesto, and moved to the Wood River Valley at the age of eleven. “My mother had spent time in Twin Falls, and she had a friend up here, so we decided to move to a new area.” He attended Wood River Middle School and graduated from Wood River High School. “I liked growing up here, but I think it’s really great if you are an adult. There’s not a lot for kids to do like there is in Boise. I grew up in a city, so I wasn’t used to the clean air and all the hills – wherever you walk, it’s always uphill. But I love the mountains. In Modesto, I wasn’t very physical, but here that’s all changed as I walk everywhere or bike. I love that it is big enough here that you see new people every day, but also small enough that you recognize people everywhere and seem to know everyone. Also, security is not so much of an issue here.”

Beserra’s experience at Wood River High School was mixed. “It wasn’t the school or the teachers – it was the kids. I didn’t like the attitudes they put forward and I just wasn’t a big fan of high school. My best friends were my teachers and my goal was to get out as soon as possible. I don’t come from money, and there is a lot of it up here, and the kids were not afraid to show it or waste it. If I want something, I have to work for it, and because of that, we didn’t mesh very well.”

Beserra is now halfway through his junior year at the College of Idaho because of the credits he has accrued. He has two majors – music and pre-engi-neering. “It’s a great place. The professors know what they’re talking about, really care for you and push you. They all know my name.” He is currently carrying a 3.5 grade point average and

is attending the school for academics and is

the recipient of the Albertsons Award for Music Theory.

Beserra began playing music at the age of nine.

“My brother played the violin and I

needed to be better than him, but I was

terrible and dropped it after the first year. In sixth grade I was required to take music and I picked orchestra and picked up the cello. Through middle school, people said I could get a col-lege scholarship if I continued. Halfway through my freshman year I started to play stand-up bass and started to study privately. My sophomore year my teacher asked me to start playing with the Magic Valley Symphony in Twin Falls. My junior year I started studying with the principal bassist for the Boise Philharmonic and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts gave me a scholarship. I love playing, but also I’m good at it and I have good practice habits. As for the future, I think about graduating as an engineer and how would I fill all the time I spend now playing music? I’ll never give it up. People tell me I’m humble and never talk about what I’ve accomplished as a musician. Pro-fessional musicians have told me I have a lot of talent and could do something with it. Only recently have I felt that I’m as good as they said.”

In the meantime, there is also his dream of becoming an elec-trical engineer. “My parents said I could do it and it’s always been a goal of mine.” In high school he scored the highest grade in AP calculus. “This year I’ll take calculus III and physics and an elective in digital Electronics. I’ve never had a problem with math and the sciences. It has always come pretty easily to me. Electrical engineering is my goal because it has more prestige and I’ll be in a rarer group in math and engineering. I love the exactness of math. All the other sciences can get close, but due to real life, can never be exact.”

What can be pinned down exactly is what a bright future Beserra has, whether it is in music or engineering.

Beserra is a music and math dynamo

An array of pilots spread their wings out across Christmas Bowl Friday morning.

The sky’s the limitThe sliver of a moon

that hung in the late morning sky

Friday morning didn’t stay lonely for long.

By 11:30, dozens of pink, lavender, yellow and white paragliders swung through the skies above Canyon ski run, their fabric wings mimicking the shape of the moon until at times it was difficult to determine which one was the moon and which one was a paraglider.

Eighty-eight pilots took off Friday morning as part of the week-long U.S. National Paragliding Championships being held on Baldy.

Dozens more people hiked up Baldy or rode the chairlift to the top for a closer look in a look-see that really seemed to impress youngsters.

Fliers took off from a spot a hundred yards down Christmas Bowl since it was deemed safer than launching from the top of Baldy.

Kelley Weston and Native LandscapesKelley Weston is

a gardener, artist, vision-

ary, and entre-preneur whose business outlet is Native Land-scapes, a local landscape design/build firm that he founded in 1986. The company specializes in drought-tolerant landscap-ing, using native and non-native plants to produce naturally es-thetic gardens that require virtu-ally no water or maintenance.

Kelley moved to the valley a generation ago as a self-taught gardener with little business background. He had a philoso-phy, however: to discover and help create what people need and want. His approach and artistry quickly attracted some high end clients. “I started out work-ing in conventional perennial landscape gardens which usually interface with native landscapes. I’d prune in those native areas to make them a little less wild and crazy. Then I started paying closer attention to plants and flowers that thrived without water or chemicals and offered great habitat for birds and insects.”

Thus, Native Landscapes was born, in response to the environment but also in re-sponse to client encouragement. “My clients have always been environmentally aware,” he says. “They moved to the valley for the quality of life and are concerned about maintaining it, so they favor water conservation, native plants, and the natural aes-thetic.” Along the way, Kelley’s commitment to the natural landscape and sustainability

also found expression in his co-founding the

Sawtooth Botanical Garden and Idaho’s Bounty local food cooperative.

Native Land-scapes trundled along for roughly

15 years on a grad-ual growth curve as Kelley continued his self-education in horticulture and

business manage-ment. “At a certain

point, though, I realized my business wasn’t growing as much as other landscapers. There was a level of work I wanted to do, both in quality and complex-ity, but I didn’t know how to get there.”

Self-assessment, classes, and mentoring led Kelley to woo two partners to join his business and complement his weaknesses. They came on board in 2005, one with a degree in formal land-scape design, the other with a background in business manage-ment.

Kelley looks back happily on the trio’s first winter together. “We identified our challenges, strengths, and position in the community. We hired only skilled people, put systems in place, bought new equipment, and marketed for the kind of sophisticated, high-end projects we wanted.” In the trio’s second year, Native Landscapes took a quantum leap; since then, it has quadrupled gross receipts and enjoyed increasing size and complexity in its projects.

The business, which can claim about 100 gardens in the valley, now has 20-25 employees. Kelley credits the company’s team-ori-

entation for much of its success. “The management group has lots of power. We hire them to think autonomously and let them know they’re expected to look for opportunities for innovation or efficiency or better quality,” he says.

Prior to the economic down-turn, the partners realized that their local market would always fluctuate within a certain fixed range, capping growth. To jump this hurdle, they have created a new business called Habitat. It will market to landscape designers in the Intermountain West who seek assistance in designing, implementing, and maintaining drought-tolerant landscapes for clients living lo-cally or in the wider region. As Kelley explains it, “An architect may create a beautiful landscape design, but there can be disconti-nuity between the vision and the

implementation, especially with drought-tolerant gardens which take shape gradually. Through Habitat, we get the client’s com-mitment to realize the intent and full potential of a garden’s design.”

Kelley likes entrepreneurship, which he views as the “strength of the American economy.” But his passion is to create beautiful art with living systems. “To ful-fill my passion,” he says, “I had to create a business to support me and my purposes. I feel truly grateful for how things have worked out.”

Kelley Weston, founder and CEo of Native Landscapes, shows off the company’s new office space above the Gail Severn Gallery in Ketchum. Native Landscapes will shortly move there from their current, smaller space in hailey.

Smart Moves Community Challenge ended on August 20, and was celebrat-ed at Ride the Rails and the BCRD pool. the event started on Bike to Work Day on May 21, and continued throughout the summer with participants tracking their Smart Moves – any trip using a mode other than driving solo in a car.

“this year’s Smart Moves event was a success with over 6,400 car trips eliminated by participants using smarter ways to move including tak-ing the bus, biking, walking, carpool-ing and vanpooling,” said Jason Miller, Executive Director of Mountain Rides transportation. “those trips totaled over 50,000 miles, which means par-ticipants saved over $25,000 in com-mute costs and reduced carbon emis-sion by 45,000 pounds.”

For a complete list of winners, visit www.MountainRides.org, or check their Facebook page or twitter.

Each summer the Smart Moves Community Challenge is the Wood River Valley’s only alternative trans-portation event designed to encour-age people to reduce single occupancy car trips. Participants track their Smart Moves on the official trip tracker, ei-ther online or manually. For more in-formation, contact 788-RIDE.

Blaine gets 21st Century educationby Karen bossicK

Blaine County Schools Superintendent Lonnie Barber put a picture of his

daughter on the screen in front of the Community Campus au-ditorium as he prepared to send his teachers out into the 2010-11 school year.

“My daughter is in the fifth grade. I hope you will be her captain and a captain of all our kids,” he told the teachers as he quoted the famed Walt Whitman poem. “It’s not about content. It’s about love of learning.”

Blaine County schoolchildren were greeted by a couple new pilot programs as they returned to school Tuesday.

Hemingway Elementary School is trying out a healthy, sustainable lunch menu that will include as much locally produced food as possible, including bread from Bigwood Bread.

And Carey School and Hemingway Elementary School are introducing a Leader in Me program to help students build a winning attitude.

But district-wide, the big focus will be on teaching kids the love of learning versus stuffing them with facts.

The pendulum has swung the other way in the Blaine County

School District as teachers shift from teaching students facts to teaching them how to learn, said Bellevue Elementary Principal Angie Martinez.

“We became more content-fo-cused because of No Child Left Behind,” said Martinez. “Now we’re moving away from memo-rization and regurgitating facts. There’s so much knowledge and content out there today and we need to teach our students how to access that information and how to determine what’s useful information and what’s not so good.”

One of the tools Blaine County teachers will use to do this is project-based learning, which they will learn through Buck Institution for Education, a Cali-fornia consulting firm founded to help schools teach skills that will be useful for the 21st century.

Buck spokesman David Roth said project-based learning is not the same as activity-based learning, in which a child might simply construct a model of a castle to illustrate life in the medieval age. Rather, students collaborate to research solutions to a problem or to construct a project such as an airplane wing. In the process, they learn how to think critically about real world

problems and they learn that there are many ways to solve a problem.

Project-based learning focuses on communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativ-ity and encourages children to learn by experimenting — and sometimes failing — in projects that have real-life relevancy and application, said Roth.

It asks, “How does technology make war in Afghanistan more or less humane?” rather than

“How has technology affected world history?”

It asks, “How can we design a theater with the greatest number of seats, given certain specifications, instead of “How do architects use geometry?”

Such learning fits with the school district’s master plan to teach its students 21st century skills, said Barber, “The real-ity is, it’s not just 21st century learning. It’s just good learning.”

briefsSun Valley to host USA Cycling Natls.

in 2011 and ‘12Sun Valley, Idaho has been selected

as the 2011 and 2012 hosts of USA Cy-cling’s premier USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships. Kelli Lusk, National Events Director for USA Cycling informed the Sun Valley/Ket-chum Chamber & Visitors Bureau (SVK-CVB) that Sun Valley’s bid was selected for USA Cycling Cross country, Short-track and Super D Mountain Bike Na-tional Championships. Kelli mentioned she appreciates the enthusiasm the community has shown for Champion-ships. Distinct pro and amateur level courses will be constructed on Dollar Mountain beginning this fall.

the Sun Valley Resort Market-ing Group, Inc. added their support sending representatives to attend the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Na-tional Championships held in July in Granby, Co. Attendees included the Mayor of Sun Valley, Wayne Willich, Jennifer Biondi from the Bike Ranch at the Idaho Smoky Mountain Lodge and Carrie Westergard from the Sun Valley/Ketchum CVB. Long-time CVB Board Member Greg Peterson was also in Granby and contributed to the effort. Greg’s attended countless USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Cham-pionships with his nationally ranked pro-rider son, Cody Peterson. the Sun Valley delegation clearly communicat-ed the area’s commitment to host the 2011 and 2012 events.

SV Area resident, Smith optics Marketing Communications Manager and former mountain bike pro, Greg Randolph adds, “Sun Valley is a true mountain town with a rich heritage and strong mountain bike community. An event like the USA Cycling Moun-tain Bike National Championships is a great way to introduce the US moun-tain

Breakaway Promotions is honored to be selected as the race organizer for the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in Sun Val-ley. We will create a course and com-petitive experience that will make this event memorable for any rider,” states Chad Sperry, Race Director

An event of this level carries an operational and marketing cost of over $100,000 and projects an an-nual economic impact of over $1 mil-lion dollars - with an estimated 3,000 new visitors the first year. Net of en-try fees there’s a projected deficit of $20,000-$40,000. the Sun Valley/Ket-chum CVB are welcoming sponsors at levels of $25,000 to $1,000 as offsets. Sponsors will benefit from national exposure to new visitors and targeted demographics associated with a world class event.

It’s back to school time againBack in the

day, during

the peak earning years, armed with a degree and professional aplomb, in my deck of cards, hu-mility was the deuce of clubs. I was the epitome of the joke, ‘You can always tell a Harvard man, you just can’t tell him much.’

Success has a way of making us think we’re bulletproof—take your pick from the parade of famous to whom this applies. As I write this, CNBC is addressing the ‘arrogance of power.’ It was in 1976 that I got a glimpse of this truth. With 12 others. plus 30 support personnel, I went on a 30-day trek in a remote area of the Himalayas rarely visited by outsiders. There were several well-heeled, successful people on the trip. I was the lone ‘hippie.’ Early on, there was a lot of hea-butting going on about sched-ules and priorities. The bosses were used to being bosses. Our leader was Jack Turner, now a well-known Western author, Exuum mountain guide and a good friend of Dick Dorworth. He explained that this was a typical problem. Accomplished individuals, out of their element, keep wanting to make decisions they’re not qualified to make, and they’re not used to hearing the word ‘No.’

Whatever humility spiri-tual training may, or may not,

bestow, something I could count on came from being a neophyte, a greenhorn, a rookie. I learned that it’s always important to be learning something, to be vul-nerable, to not have answers, to have to depend on outside sourc-es of expertise. This not only breeds humility, but eliminates the fear of not being in control. This in turn allows us to enter new areas so we can continue to grow, to become that ‘rolling stone that gathers no moss.’

Gardening is not really about a green thumb. Success is not a given. It’s like with genius—showing up, sweat equity and attention to detail outweigh I.Q. The mind seeks the assurances of ‘why’ and ‘how’. This quest for certainty is one of humanity’s shackles. I keep having to remind myself to embrace the wonder and not the explanation.

This is the fourth dimension of knowledge. All manner of schools are there to teach us the three-dimensional Euclidian world. Experience and ‘street smarts’ complements that.

There comes a point where we can put all that aside. Some-times we learn the most after school. So, at the very moment when we think we’ve arrived, we pitch camp, only to find we’ve only just begun. After all that, the thirst and the quest continue, only this time there’s no university curriculum, no Master Gardener’s course, no certificates, no Lonely Planet Guide to the Beyond, because there’s nothing to pursue. Just open and let it in. We simply have to become a flower.

eats & entertainment

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are on your own schedule and will go merrily along paying no mind to any imposed timetable. It just so happens that this week you will wind up being early or prompt in regard to the se-cret expectations of others. however, this is a coincidence that just tends to happen when you march to your own drummer.

tAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll jump in even when you know the task is way over your head. Your ap-proach may not be pretty. You’ll feel like you’re flailing your limbs about just to keep afloat. But the fact is, you will keep afloat. You’ll learn how to do it. And you’ll soon be swimming with the ultimate grace. Everyone has to start somewhere.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a tendency to drop your personal ambi-tions in order to fulfill the demands in-volved in simply making a living. Going for your dreams and earning enough to sustain a decent lifestyle do not have to be two mutually exclusive pictures.

You can earn money doing what makes your heart sing. Work on it this week.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have oodles of time to waste now. there’s important business to handle. Save yourself the excess drama, and skip the big Wizard of oz story. Just be appreciative of the home you have and the people who make it good. You don’t need to go to Munchkinland in order to get some color in your world.

LEo (July 23-Aug. 22). You have been thinking about the kind of days you would like to experience. Your imagined ideal day is not so far off from your typical 24-hour cycle, but there are a few key differences. You’ll focus on them this week and will find shortcuts to creating the kind of mo-ments you once only dreamed about.

VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You had an idea about what it would be like to know a certain person well, and it turns out the reality isn’t much like that at all. In some ways, it’s better -- focus on that. the ways in which this relation-ship is less than what you wanted it to

be are irrelevant. It is what it is. take it or leave it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 23). Why waste energy wanting people to be other than what they are? there is one per-son you have had trouble with in the past. You now feel differently. You ac-cept the way he is and do not feel the need to change a thing about him. this person will sense the unconditional love and gravitate toward you.

SCoRPIo (oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are not blind to the faults of others -- oh, you can see them, all right. But you won’t let on that you know what they are. It’s called being a good friend. It’s also called minding your own business. And you would appreciate it if your friends behaved with the same de-corum, although unfortunately some won’t.

SAGIttARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are so close to your work that you cannot see it. You have only the most cursory idea about what your talents really are. When you can finally break away from the small picture and mix it up in the big real world, you’ll experi-ence the broad range of abilities out there and appreciate fully how you fit in.

CAPRICoRN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Doing what’s in front of you and doing it well is easy for you. But to actively seek a role other than the one your parents, friends and colleagues give to you, well, that takes a great deal of initia-tive, daring and imagination. You have all those qualities in you and more. this is your week to go for it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be the very definition of the term “easy going” this week. Your opinion won’t always match up to the popular one of the moment, and yet you can see why people think the way they do. And you don’t feel the need to take is-sue with every discrepancy or social slight. Yours is an all-around fantastic attitude.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may be a bit more forceful than you usually would be about getting your way. that’s only because you sense so clearly how this will be great for not only you, but for everyone involved. It’s almost as though you can see into the future. And maybe you can. Now all you have to do is convince the others.

Today’s the last day you can reserve your spot in the universe for the Caritas

Chorale’s “Starry Starry Night.”The 80-voice Caritas Chorale,

under the direction of Dick Brown, will team up with Sun Valley stargazer Dr. Stephen Pauley to present a dinner/con-cert/stargazing event at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Elkhorn Springs Restaurant.

Pauley will present some “really beautiful” high-resolu-tion pictures downloaded from a new wide fuel planetary camera while the Chorale sings such numbers as “Sun and Moon” from “Miz Saigon,” “Age of Aquarius (Let the Sun Shine In),” “Moon River,” “Some En-chanted Evening” and “Moon-glow.”

Following the program, Pauley and Mark Nelson of Shades of Sun Valley will set up an array of some of the best amateur tele-scopes on the market for dinner guests to peer through.

Dinner will be provided by caterer Judith McQueen. And, for the first time, there will be some raffle drawings, for which raffle ticketholders need not be present.

Raffle items include a week’s stay in a San Francisco Jackson

Street apartment overlooking the Bay within easy walking distance of the Ferry Build-ing and many restaurants and shops. The apartment includes underground parking.

Other items include a week-long stay in a Maui condomin-ium with a gourmet kitchen in lush Hawaiian paradise at The Palms in Wailea. There’s a two-night astronomical extravaganza with a gourmet home-cooked meal and mountain biking and fishing at the Idaho Smoky Mountain Ranch on the South Fork of the Boise. And the use of a two-night stay in a Stanley vacation cabin with a two-hour fishing lesson.

Raffle tickets are $25 each or five for $100, available by calling 208-726-5402.

The money raised from the concert will go toward the Chorale’s upcoming season. That includes a program titled “English Splendor,” in January that will feature music by Franz Josef Haydn and be accompanied by an orchestra. The chorale plans to perform an all-Ameri-can music program in May, fea-turing music by Aaron Copland and other American composers.

Dinner/concert tickets are $150 per person, $100 of which is tax-deductible, available at 208-726-5402.

Exit Through The Gift Shop opens fest

Exit Through The Gift Shop is the opening film for this week’s Film Festival at Magic Lantern Cinema in Ketchum.

What is art? That is the question that has followed us through

the ages. Is it in the eye of the beholder? Or is it something that has been determined by the tastes of the commercial market-place? This is also the question posed by the new documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop, and it is answered by one of the most brilliant documentaries ever made.

Created and directed by the notorious Banksy, a provocateur of immense proportions whose street art is cherished by collec-tors around the world, the film is not always what it seems to be and, according to widespread

Internet speculation, may be Banksy’s greatest prank to date. As Banksy states in the film, “It means art is a bit of a joke,” as well as label-ing the movie the “world’s first street art disaster film.” And this, of course, coming from the genius who hung his own work in some of the greatest museums in the world—placed expertly between masterpieces. He also made a telling statement about Guantanamo detainees in, of all places, Disneyland, and created a million British pounds with the face of Princess Diana plastered where the Queen should have been.

Exit has the interesting prem-ise of being about an obsessive nut case named Thierry Guetta who compulsively films every-thing and then meets a French cousin, Space Invader, who takes him into the netherworld of street artists. Along the way we meet Shepard Fairley, famous for the Obama hope poster, and

follow Guetta’s endless pursuit of the elusive

Banksy. Bansky has never been seen before and appears hilariously in this film in a hoody, with his face blanked out and

his voice distorted. Guetta eventually

meets his hero, assists in his antics, and captures it

all on thousands of hours of tape. Failing to produce a promised documentary, Banksy takes over, and decides to make a film about Guetta. As he says in the film, “It’s basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.”

Based on a dare, Guetta turns himself into Mr. Brainwash, and the rest is art history. The plot twist is too good to give away, but suffice it to say the art world will never be the same again. Exit Through The Gift Shop is a marvel and provokes thought and conversation while at the same time leaving you rolling in the aisles with laughter.

the Community Library in Ketchum welcomes Dr. Cynthia Anne hale. hale will discuss the color red as a unique portal into Carl Jung’s recently-released and highly-acclaimed the Red Book this thursday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m. Secreted away in a bank vault for a quarter century, Jung’s book is considered by many to be the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology.

A discussion on The Red Book

Drawing inspiration from work by artist Megan Murphy on view at the Sun Val-ley Center for the Arts, teens will create personal multimedia artworks in this teen Workshop on Sept. 11.

Murphy’s current drawings are studies of water, place, and the West. For the Sun Valley show, she has created a body of work based on photographs of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty and images of clouds. In the class, Murphy will guide teen participants who will be asked to bring images of bodies of water that are impor-tant to them, which they will use as the first layer in their own work.

the teen Workshop will meet at the Center in Ketchum on Saturday, Sept. 11, from 12 to 4 p.m. Cost is $10. Space is limited and advance registration is required. to register, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org, call 726.9491, ext. 10 or stop by the Center in Ketchum.

Water workshop this weekend

With their graceful shapes and iridescent colors, fish are a favorite subject for many artists. And, in this world of catch-and-release, learning to sketch fish is a great way to memorialize the “trophy fish” you have to throw back!

Udesen lives, teaches and makes art in Boise, but travels anywhere the fly fishing is good. “My art is both unique and personal because it combines my love for the mountains, rivers and open spaces with an artistic focus on details. Like a snapshot, I like to capture a second in time that elicits a specific memory,” he says.

trout Illustrations meets Saturday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Center classroom in hailey. Register at www.sunvalleycenter.org, or 726-9491.

It’s that time of year again. Fall is in the air and movie-goers are in for a treat as the

Magic Lantern Cinema brings their fall film festival to the Valley “It hasn’t been a stellar summer for movies,” said the Lantern’s owner, Rick Kessler. “So it’s a real thrill to bring in the best films of the last six months for everyone to see.”

This will be the Lantern’s 22nd annual festival, runs this Friday, Sept. 10 through Sept. 16 and promises to be one of the best. “In the beginning, people would always ask us why we weren’t playing art films, even though we did. So I decided it would be a good idea to lump together a group of films that weren’t getting the support of the big studios and promote it as a festival,” Kessler said. “I would read about them in the national media but it took forever to get them. Many times we were play-ing 16 millimeter prints.”

This year the festival will have eight films in addition to Get Low, starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray, which will be playing in conjunction with the festival. “Get Low is the type of film that makes me glad to be in the business. In booking

the films, I have to trust my instincts because I’ve been doing this for 36 years. You have to look at the film’s pedigree. When you have universally excellent reviews, you have to pay atten-tion. What’s the point of showing the same movies over and over again. These films are unique. I couldn’t be more pleased with the selections.”

The festival opens with a bang with the superlative documen-tary Exit Through The Gift Shop. The other first-week films are Joan Rivers’ A Piece of Work, which takes a penetrating and hilarious look at the legendary comedienne, and Solitary Man, featuring Michael Douglas in one of his finest performances to date. For the full schedule, as well as reviews and trailers, visit the Magic Lantern website at magiclanterncinemas.com.

What makes the festival unique this year is the addition of the two new, beautiful and spacious screening rooms down-stairs. According to Kessler, this gives him the flexibility to screen each film for a week rather than a jumbled three-day schedule. “I know it’s a lot of choices, but people should talk to friends and see what they liked. I think we have something for everyone.”

Do you ever wake up at night and find you are guided by twinkling

lights, digital displays from ap-pliances and electronic devices. These devices are vampires silently sucking away energy even when they are turned “off.” This wasted energy known as phantom energy loss, represents a growing percentage of individ-ual homes electricity use (5%), an estimated 65 billion kw/h of electricity per year. Some of the biggest energy wasters are the adapters of rechargeable cord-less phones, cell phones, digital cameras, ipods, power tools, and other electronic devices. They draw power, whether the battery is fully charged—or even con-nected. Other culprits include electronics with standby capabil-ity (TVs, PC monitors, digital clock displays, microwaves, DVD players, stereo systems). How can you stop it?

Unplug your phone, camera, ipod, power tool charger, televi-

sion and attached electronics. Find which one is causing the most energy loss. Simplify: plug all of your home entertain-ment system and computer components into a power strip. Flip the switch off when not in use. Unplug kitchen appliances with clocks. Surge suppres-sors still protect against power spikes when plugged in, even if switched off. Alas, some devices like battery backup systems and computer network servers must be left on to work properly.

Check labels. Buy products that use the least standby power. Choose Energy Star labels or check online: www.1.eere.energy.gov/femp/technologies/buying–low_standby.html. Don’t buy products with “bells and whistles”.

Please check out the ERC’s “Kill-a-Watt meter” to assess your “phantom power” from indi-vidual appliances. It will show which appliance is the worst offender. 726-4333.

the St. Luke’s Wood River Founda-tion is excited to announce it has se-cured a matching grant for the Alter-G, a state-of-the-art rehabilitation tread-mill. Every dollar contributed to the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation’s Al-ter-G project will be matched for this project.

With the help of local Ketchum champions Jenny Gatehouse and hus-band Phil hebert, the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation is working to raise $30,000 to fund the anti-gravity ma-chine that will be available for commu-nity use in the St. Luke’s Elks Rehabili-tation Department. Because St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center must focus its resources on direct patient care, this wellness-focused enhancement to rehabilitation services will be possible only with philanthropic support.

“having access to an Alter-G anti-gravity machine will benefit patient care dramatically,” stated Kristin Big-gins, manager of St. Luke’s-Elks Rehab. “the Alter-G treadmill allows people to improve mobility and health, recov-er from injury and surgery more effec-tively, overcome medical challenges that limit movement and enhance physical performance in a “weight-less” and controlled environment.”

Would Batman help solve

this dilemma?

by Karen bossicK

Peggy Grove has always had a high opinion of bats, thanks to their propensity

for eating mosquitoes and other insects.

But her awareness of things that go bump in the dark—or the after-noon, in her case—has been height-ened follow-ing a close encounter with a little winged creature.

Grove is one of four Wood River Valley residents who have had to take rabies shots because of encounters with bats in July and August.

Grove, of Hailey, said she was walking her dog near the bike path in Bellevue behind Saw-tooth Tack and Feed about 5:30 p.m. nearly two weeks ago when something came out of a tree and bopped her on the neck.

“It was a little blustery that afternoon—I thought I had been hit by a bird,” she said.

Grove said she didn’t think anything more about it until she heard it flap in the middle of the night and the bat flew away from her.

“I had brought it home without realizing it. We never did catch it, even though it was in the house,” she said.

On average, there are one or two reported bat attacks a year in the state, said Mary Jensen, an epidemiologist with South Central District Health. Last year there were eight contacts in Idaho.

“This may be a bad year,” said Jensen, who says she’s contacted other state agencies in hopes of finding out whether anyone is monitoring the situation. “It could also be that people are just more aware and more are report-ing contacts.”

Jensen said the fact that the bat that Grove encountered was out in the day indicated that it probably had rabies since bats are normally nocturnal.

Bats should not be messed around with, she added. “Bat teeth are so small you can’t always tell if the person’s been bitten, so we prefer to err on the side of treat-

ment.”Grove received the last of five

rabies shots on Friday.“It’s not pleasant. They don’t

inject the shots into your stom-ach anymore. But the shots do have to go into your muscle so it does hurt. But the other option is not good. If you don’t get them, you die,” Grove said.

There does not have to be a detectable bat bite to constitute a significant exposure. People with rabies develop a tingly or itching shooting from the bite site. They may also experience fever, chills, or muscle aches and trouble swallowing. Eventually, they become extremely ill, going into seizures and coma.

The treatment for preventing the virus is effective but must be done before rabies sets in.

Grove said she won’t let the bat attack keep her from hiking and walking her dog: “I’ve never been afraid of bats. They’re very important to the environment and for eating insects. But I am more alert now when I notice something flying through the air.”

sir Rushdie tickets still available

When tickets for Salman Rushdie went on sale last

fall, they got snapped up faster than the iPAD on its release.

But, then, the British-In-dian novelist and essayist got stuck in New York due to snow there—not here. And the Sun Valley Center for the Arts had to reschedule his lecture.

The new time is 6 p.m. Friday in the Sun Valley Pavilion. And the change of venue offered up 1,200 more seats than the previ-ous venue did.

That means, yes, there are some seats left up for grabs for anyone wanting to go. General admission is $30 for Center members and $40 for non-mem-bers, available at www.ovation-tix.com or by calling The Center at 208-726-9491.

Most of Rushdie’s fiction is a mix of magical realism and historical fiction set in India. His first novel, “Midnight’s Children,” which follows the life of a child born as India gained its independence, has been called one of the great books of the last hundred years.

But his fourth novel, “The Satanic Verses,” literally cata-pulted him to worldwide atten-tion. It drew death threats from Muslims, including the Ayatol-lah Khomeini who issued a fatwa against him in 1989 for what they perceived as an irreverent depiction of the prophet Muham-mad.

Rushdie is currently writing his memoir.

Rinchen’s thangkas featured at this year’s

Spiritual Film Fest

Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo went to Dharamsala, India, to help the Tibetan

government in exile with eco-nomic development projects.

She came back a creator of thangkas—silk cloth images designed to teach and inspire viewers by remind-ing them of a higher calling.

As far as Rinchen knows, she may be the only Westerner taught the art by a Tibetan master.

“During a tour of the handicraft cen-ter, I saw sev-eral Tibetans doing this and I lost my sense of purpose. I fell headlong into the beauty and purpose of this art. I’d been a quilter, and seeing this texture took me completely by surprise,” said Rinchen, whose work will be hung in the Sun Valley Opera House during next week’s Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival.

“I was dazzled by the shine of the satin, mesmerized by the col-ors and awestruck with the way the pieces were formed, linked, overlapped and interconnected.”

Finding someone to teach her was not so easy, however. The craft is difficult to do and the practitioners are few and far be-tween. She did, however, finally find a Tibetan monk who agreed to teach her and found herself apprenticing with eight young Tibetan women who worked cross-legged on flat pillows around a large table as Hindu music played in the background.

She was scarcely fluent in Tibetan when she started her four-year apprenticeship, but she was able to follow the teacher’s example.

“I was very lucky to be ac-cepted into that world,” said Rinchen, who lived in India for

nine years, all told. “My teacher said that

Westerners want you to tell them a couple things. Then they spend two days doing it and then they go home. You have

to be willing to sit day after day and practice to learn this art.”

Fabric thangkas are extremely time-

consuming—especially those that are several stories high so they can be rolled out on hillsides or down the sides of palaces and monasteries for

special holidays or ceremonies. But making pictures out of fabric is a time-honored tradition dating back at least to the fifteenth century, maybe the thirteenth century.

To create a thangka, Rinchen out-lines a draw-ing. She then hand-stitches a mosaic of silk pieces that have been out-lined, cut and arranged like a jigsaw puzzle to form the image. She outlines the contours with horsetail hair wrapped in gold silk thread. And she embroiders certain fea-

tures like eyes and mouths in a distinct spiral pattern to create a realistic effect.

Her work is exhibited interna-tionally and has been featured in the documentary film, “Creat-ing Buddhas: The Making and Meaning of Fabric Thangkas.”

She also teaches others as far away as Paris and Singapore how to make silk thangkas via her Stitching Buddhas Virtual Apprentice Program. She teaches online via written instructions, photographs, video clips and monthly question-and-answer conference calls.

“It’s amazing to teach this ancient technique by such a mod-ern technology as the Internet,” she said. “But it’s a way to learn when you can’t take off for four years and live in India.”

Mary Gervase, who heads up the Spiritual Film Festival, said she thinks people will be amazed at Rinchen’s work.

“To see the stitching close up—it’s beautiful,” she said.

form of stand-up paddleboard-ing started making waves at Waikiki Beach in the 1960s among surfers who found they could catch waves quicker than those without long paddles

“And you know whoever catch-es the wave first gets first dibs on it,” said Backwoods salesman Taul Paul.

Just in the past few years it’s made it to mainland coastal cities like San Diego, as well as inland lakes, ponds and even Class II and III-minus streams and rivers.

“It’s a good way to get out there—especially for those who grew up surfing,” said Schaefer. “There’s a big club now in Bend, Ore., that paddleboards on the Deschutes River and nearby lakes. They’re paddleboarding in the whitewater park at Glenwood Springs, Colo. And they’re even beginning to go off waterfalls. It’s like windsurfing and other sports. Once it takes off, people start pushing it to the extremes.”

The fiberglass and epoxy pad-dleboards are thicker, wider and longer than surfboards. They’re 12 to 19 feet long and between 28 and 32 inches at midpoint, which enhances the balance.

The rider can sit, kneel or even lay on them. But typically they stand on them, paddling with what looks like an over-long canoe paddle.

While Costco’s models start at $429, high-end models such as those Backwoods carries range from about $900 to $1,600. Custom boards can cost as much as $3,000.

They’re also available for rent. Backwoods, for instance, rents them for $20 an hour or $50 a day. Rentals are also available at Redfish Lake.

“Surfing’s definitely a foreign idea in Idaho. But people love paddleboarding, even little kids,” said Nick Scrivner.

Gove used to surf in Hawaii before moving to Ketchum 19 years ago—“I came to ski and I’m still here,” said the realtor.

She decided to give paddle-boarding a try while her hus-band and children went boating on Redfish and quickly found that it was a good workout.

“It takes a lot of leg strength and core strength. And a tre-mendous amount of coordination balancing yourself,” she said.

It’s best to start out on your knees to get a feel for it, said Scrivner. The learning curve is quick—most people can begin standing up within minutes. The boards are a little tipsy but not as tipsy as a hardshell kayak.

“I love it. I like that you can sit on the board or stand on it,” said 11-year-old Hailey resident Sarah Rau, who tried both solo paddling and sharing a board with her 9-year-old brother Da-vid and their friends Shelly and Adrian Green.

“It’s a great for families. And it’s a great sport for our commu-nity where everyone is into self-propelled sports,” said Schaefer. “I’ve seen kids who are 3 and 4 paddling along with their dads. And I’ve seen people as old as 75 hop on one.”

a few words from myra

“My husband and I have been in Sun Valley for 11 years.

We also live in Portland, Oregon.We do the usual here—bike,

hike, golf, walk—all the things people love doing here. We love the weather here!

I also play Mahjongg with a wonderful group of women.

My mother was a wonderful cook and so my two brothers

and I followed in her footsteps. My two grown children also love cooking. In fact, twice a month all the “Portland cousins” gather together and cook at each other’s houses. It’s become a wonder-ful tradition. Occasionally, the parents are included.

I love cooking and baking, but the recipes must be easy and with few ingredients. This cookie recipe is one of those. The dough can be frozen in individual cook-ies or a log and cut and baked

as needed. I try to always have warm cookies when friends come over. Because you melt the but-ter in these cookies, they come together very easily and are almost praline-like as a batter.

When my daughter was young, she and a girlfriend kept sticking their fingers in this particular cookie dough recipe. I finally gave them each a soup bowl full of dough. Yep, I think that was their last time “licking the bowl!”

Myra’s Family’s Favorite Cookiesby Myra Friedman

Melt the butter on the stovetop and put in large bowl of electric mixer. Add the sugars and mix until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix in with spatula about 12 ounces (2 cups or so) of the following: baking chips (any type chocolate, white butterscotch, etc.); M & Ms; any crunched candy; oatmeal; raisins; nuts.

Bake at 375º for about 10 minutes, or until the doneness you prefer. Enjoy!In a pinch, you don’t need an electric mixer. Mixes nicely with a spatula! You can also cut

the recipe in half, as this makes about 50 cookies with a small ice cream scoop—the perfect size!

Thank you, Myra, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

a recipe…from my table to yours

by PatricK bUchananstate Farm® agent

You may think you have a solid financial plan. The

paycheck you bring home on a regular basis may be adequate to meet the immediate needs of your family. There may even be enough left over for some of the “funner” things in life—vaca-tion, retirement and even college savings.

But what if you weren’t there to continue to provide for your family’s needs? Would they con-tinue to live in the same home? Would your children be able to attend the school of their choice? Would your loved ones be able to keep the plans and dreams you had hoped for?

These are important questions that must be considered. Find-ing the answers can start with a no-obligation needs analysis and discussing a life insurance policy that is appropriate for you and your family.

September is declared Life Insurance Awareness Month

(sponsored by LIFE®, a non-profit organization), a time for you to take a look at your existing coverage to see if it is ad-equate. If you don’t have coverage, it is a good time to discuss starting a policy.

A primary purpose of a life insurance policy

is to provide a dollar amount to the beneficiaries in the event of the death of the insured per-son. That death benefit can be used in any number of ways, whether for a mortgage, college or income.

Life is full of many questions. Being sure that your finan-cial plan includes an adequate amount of life insurance can help you answer at least one question, “What will happen to my family if I am not around to provide for them?”

To Your Health~ good advice from local practitioners ~

We are in a health emergency. More than

65 percent of the U.S. population is overweight. One out of four chil-dren is now considered overweight or obese. Un-healthy body weight is an indication you have metabolic syndrome, otherwise known as insulin resistance syn-drome, which affects 46 percent of Americans. This syndrome is characterized by a group of risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood insulin, and high glucose that, left untreated, increase the risk of chronic disease such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, stroke, arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease, just to name a few. Some factors that lead to meta-bolic syndrome are excessive fat accumulation from an imbalance between the calories you take in compared to the calories you burn; lack of physical activity; lifestyle influences such as a high-fat, high-sugar diet; over-eating; excessive alcohol intake; chronic use of corticosteroids; hormone imbalance; stress; genetic predisposition; and aging. One of the most power-ful ways to change your risk to chronic disease is by improving your body composition. Body composition consists of body fat and lean body mass—muscle, bone, organs, etc. The goal is to maintain body fat in proportion to lean body mass. This is called the fat-to-muscle ratio and has been associated with longev-ity and reduced risk of chronic disease. One way to determine your body composition is to mea-sure your waist circumference; men’s should be no greater than 40 inches, women’s, no greater than 35 inches. Developing your body composition can be done by losing weight, targeting fat and preserving muscle. One can get help to do this through a healthy

“Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes” program, or “TLC,” as established by national guidelines. This program educates the patient about nutri-tion, exercise, supple-mentation and lifestyle changes. By slowly shift-ing a person’s perception

of how to live healthily, one can live and age free from pain and chronic disease, with energy and grace. To get started on the road to better health, you should first be evaluated by your physician to rule out other risk factors. Then, with help from a TLC, or First-LineTherapy “FLT”-certi-fied counselor, start working toward a life free of chronic disease and full of newfound en-ergy. The science-based concept “TLC” that led to the First-Line Therapy guidelines program is this: “Rather than having to observe many years of declining health and disability in patients, quality health and high levels of function are maintained well into old age whereby the years of infirmity and compromised function should be compressed into the final years.” In other words, there is no reason to grow old with pains and disabilities. If we take care of ourselves and modify our lifestyles, we can live a long life of quality. Starting now.

Max T. Rudolph

summer’s overChapter 26

I would be lying if I said I didn’t think about Max Rudolph everyday. But you know how one day follows another and in no time at

all six weeks had passed and no word from Max. I would think of him most often when I was out on my morning walks, imagining him on some fun adventure he would magically turn into a learning experience or just out for a hike with his dog Bud. When I’m feeling confident I let myself reminisce about our adventure with our students at the very beginning of the sum-mer when Max and I came so close to kissing before I accidently hit the panic button on my car and the horn blared waking all the kids up in the middle of the night. Then I check myself and return to the reality that is; if Max wanted to be with me he would have called by now. I don’t have to read the book or see the move ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ to figure out I have no relationship with the man with whom I believe I’m in love….

So, onward and upward I must go. This Saturday morning I’m picking up my friend Nancy and her handsome and single brother, Chance, and we’re going up to a friends’ family cabin at Petit Lake to relax and chill out for the final three-day weekend of the summer. As much as I love my Wood River Valley it does get a little claustrophobic on occasion. An excur-sion into the mountains with good friends is the perfect remedy. Besides, next week the new school year begins and I will no doubt be seeing Max Rudolph on a daily basis. That will pres-ent me with a whole new set of circumstances. Summer’s over Amy, I tell myself, time to grow up and move on!

friend I hadn't seen in awhile.As we caught up on recentevents, I told him how I had tosell my Mom's car because shewas no longer able to drive safe-ly. Surprisingly, he shared thathe had the same problem withhis mother a few months back.

"Although, she refused togive up her driver's license," heexplained.

As he went on with his saga, Iasked him how he finally got herto give up driving. "Well, sheagreed to give up her licenseafter she ran into the cow."

"A cow!" I gasped. "Howcould she hit a cow?"

"Well," he laughed, "that'swhat happens when you driveinto a barn."

• • •Cash: Sounds like good ol'

grandma had a wild side. I guessif you're only going to drive a carto church on Sunday, you might aswell be noticed when you pull inthe parking lot!

Carry: If everything is in goodworking order, you probablyfound a great car. These are thekind of deals we love to find,where the item was stored awayand now the owner just wants tofind it a new home.

Cash: It looks like the most

important question is alreadyanswered: "Where was the carstored?" A car kept in a dry placeout of the sun is always best andwill have the least age-relatedproblems.

Carry: If you have the chance,check out the garage where it wasstored to see if it's dry or damp. Adamp garage can cause rust on theundercarriage, wheel wells andeven in the trunk.

Cash: With only 5000 miles,we'd expect all the parts to beoriginal. So your next step is tojust make sure everything is ingood working order. Since it has-n't been driven in awhile, start itup, check the brakes, and take itfor a 20 to 30 minute test drive.

The car may run rough at first, butif it's in good shape it should runsmoother as your ride progresses.

Carry: Plan on replacing thebattery and all of the fluids: oil,transmission, radiator, etc. Fill upthe gas tank right away and add afuel injector cleaner or octanebooster as well. Gas that sits for along time looses its octane and cangum up the fuel injectors. Mixingin these additives can help preventany problems.

Cash: The tires may needreplacing as well, but that's asmall price to pay for a car that'sin pristine condition.

Carry: And who knows, maybeyou'll have an urge to drive it tochurch next Sunday.

Apparently grandma never drove too fast.

Road WorthyCommuting has become a way

of life for many people and canrack up thousands of miles onyour car. Include the trips to thegrocery store, movies and vaca-tions, and we spend a lot of hoursbehind the wheel. It's estimatedthat the average American two-driver family makes over 4000trips in their car each year. Thatadds up to traveling more than22,600 miles, equivalent to driv-ing from New York to Californiaseven times. Now that’s a longcommute!Lights Out

If you put your car in storage,don't expect the battery to last.Car batteries are designed to bedischarged quickly and thenrecharged using your car's electri-cal system. When a car batteryremains unused for long periodsof time, the battery continues tosulfate, diminishing its life byforming crystals on the lead platesof the battery. Even recharged, abattery that has been completelydrained just a few times can sendyou back to the auto store for areplacement.

52nd Annual Wagon Days Pulls Away

By: BALI SZABO

Like the Fourth, it was a breezy, sunny day, and the people of Ketchum/Sun

Valley finally hit the streets. It was a long, hard day for the horses, but it was party time for everyone else. Like usual, the High Country Peruvian Paso riders toasted us with Cham-pagne. The numerous, unfurled American flags whipped in the gusts. The parade featured the usual cross-section of local society and plenty of wonderful visitors, from Switzerland to Rexburg and Boise. The horses and the antique wagons were magnificent, and often harkened back to the days of American craftsmanship.

A big hit were the ‘pooper scoopers’—members of the Sun Valley Suns hockey team—who, on roller-skates and armed with shovels, kept the parade route clean. The Wood River High School cheerleaders are heading for Macy’s Easter Day Parade and have a standing invitation to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. The Americana riders of Rexburg came to town in full regalia. The most imaginative entry belonged to the Inn at the Ellsworth Estate in Hailey. Two gentle-men coolies hauled a convertible rickshaw and a handmade brass poster bed. The folks leading the mini team wagon from Jerome were bigger than the horses. Ah, just another day in Paradise.

Clockwise from Top: The American Glory Flag team shows their spirit; Grand Marshall Clint Stennett and his wife Michelle; Eh-Capa Queen Erica Greenwood poses.
