Director David Selznick, played by Ed Kershen, tries to keep screenwriter Ben Hecht (played by Scott Creighton) and Director Victor Fleming (played by Andrew Alburger) from killing one another as the three endure five days of lock down in order to rewrite the screenplay for “Gone with the Wind.” PHotoS: KIRStEN SHULtZ
Behind Gone with the WindFools to perform Moonlight and
MagnoliasBy KAREN BOSSICK
It’s common knowledge that “Gone With The Wind” is one of Hollywood’s top grossing
motion pictures, receiving 10 Academy Awards, selling more tickets than any other film in history and placing in the top five among the American Film Institute’s Top 100 Best Ameri-can Films of All Time.
What’s not as well known is the story of the three men who conspired to craft the film they thought was guaranteed to fail.
Company of Fools will present
the behind-the-scenes story in all its hilarity during a three-week run that begins Tuesday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey.
“Moonlight and Magnolias” will run Dec. 14 through Dec. 31.
It stars Ed Kershen as Pro-ducer David O. Selznick, Scott Creighton as Screenwriter Ben Hecht, Andrew Alburger as Di-rector Victor Fleming and Hai-ley Elementary School teacher Christine Leslie as their hapless secretary. Director Gordon Rein-hart is a Boise State University theatre arts professor who ap-peared in the Fools’ productions of “Death and the Maiden” and “Uncle Vanya.”
“It has a lively, almost farci-Christine Leslie, a teacher at Hailey El-ementary School, is appearing in her first play with Company of Fools since “the Laramie Project.” continued,page14

Don Giovanni shows at the Magic Lantern
The Magic Lantern Cinema will pres-ent the San Fran-
cisco Opera’s production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Don Giovanni, often referred to as the greatest opera ever composed, this week in its downstairs Screening Rooms.
The film will be shown twice at 6 p.m. tonight and 6 p.m. Thursday.
This is a live performance in High Defini-tion, conducted by Donald Runnicles, and is a co-production with the Theatre de la Monnaie-Brussels. Don Giovanni is the story of an unrepentant seducer, and his ultimate tragedy.
Caritas Chorale Conductor Dick Brown will give a pre-show informative talk about Don Giovanni at 5:30 p.m. Thursday before the showing.
Carefully balancing comedy with heap-ing amounts of seduction, love and ultimate tragedy, Don Giovanni is often referred to as the greatest opera ever composed.
This particular version Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien in the title role. It is sung in Italian with English subtitles. The running time is three hours and five minutes with a ten-minute intermission and a behind-the-scenes interview. twp

Service becomes a way of lifeIf you are a regular
customer at Hailey Coffee Company,
you have probably met Wood River High School senior Ashton Lufton and have come to expect a big smile and extremely effi-cient service. “It’s like a family here,” she said, “and that’s why I enjoy doing it. I’ve never enjoyed working that much, but here I absolutely love it. Plus the income gives me the chance to travel and to save for college. I also enjoy working here because I get to interact with so many people and get the same buzz from waiting on some-one that I get from doing public service.” And public service is something that has defined Lupton’s whole life.
Her parents moved here from California when she was two years old because they wanted to live in a ski resort. Her father is a teacher at Wood River High School. Initially living in Bellev-ue, her family moved to Hailey when she was three years old. Her academic career has taken her from Bellevue Elementary to Hailey Elementary and then to Wood River Middle School and now the High School. “I love living here because everyone knows each other and someone’s always looking out for you. But there is a flip side to it because going to the grocery store can take forever! As much as I like it here, I still want to experience more and see different places. I don’t really think I want to stay in the same place for the rest of my life.”
Sporting a 3.7 grade point average, Lupton gushes when talking about Wood River. “It’s a great environment. For a public school, the academics are excel-lent and the school promotes an interest in knowledge and they
genuinely want you to succeed. I’ve never met a teacher there that doesn’t care for you person-ally. Most will stay after school because they enjoy talking to you as a person and you can talk to them about anything. You’re more than just a student. They also don’t lecture you or talk down to you and when the class is over, their teaching is never done.”
Lupton’s hopes for the future are to become a doctor; to that end, she spent her senior year shadowing a physician for nine weeks. “It was just an awesome experience. My favorite was experiencing a birth, which was truly amazing. You can learn so much from the hands-on experi-ence and to do something like that in high school is truly a gift. It strengthened my passions for medicine. I can say that I did it and loved it.”
Her academics have also resulted in many distinctive rewards. Among these are the Congressional Award and being a member of National Honor Society. Both have a strong emphasis on community service. “Service is so rewarding. You give a lot, but you receive so
much more in return. One of the things I look for in a college is the opportunity to serve. The awards are great because it gives you a sense of accomplish-ment, but I would certainly do it without the awards.”
Another avenue of service is being co-chairman of the school’s Key Club that works hand in hand with the Kiwanis Club. Here students get involved with volunteer activities like help-ing with Camp Rainbow Gold. Lupton’s life, since six years old, has also been heavily involved in the Girl Scouts. This spring she hopes to receive a Gold Award, which is the highest honor for a scout. “Girl Scouts has opened so many doors for me. It’s allowed me to do so many things and meet tons of great people. It’s just so much fun for girls and it also helps them get involved with service.” Being involved with the community makes Lupton’s life special and proves that giving can be a person’s highest calling.

Anam Cara will take listeners on a pilgrim-
age of Christmas carols around the world Saturday evening.
The concert starts at 5:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Sun Valley Road. The concert is free, but donations will be accepted to enable the elite choir to continue its perfor-mances.
The hour-long concert will feature a lot of new carols writ-ten by composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, said Director Dick Brown.
But it will also feature some
old familiar carols, including a “beauti-
ful” arrangement of ‘Silent Night.’ And it will also feature some familiar tunes with dif-ferent words, a calypso carol and
spirituals, as well as carols sung in French, German and Latin.
Anam Cara is made up of profes-
sional and semi-profes-sional singers from the Wood River Valley and Idaho Falls.
Local singers are Cherie Kes-sler, Billie Brown, Dick Bright-man, Doug Taylor and Chip Mills.

the Braun Brothers are excited to announce that they now have the Braun Family Christmas Album—“Christmas In these Idaho Hills”—available for purchase!
In 1987, the original Braun Broth-ers, Muzzie, Gary and Billy Braun, got together with the Little Braun Broth-ers, Reckless Kelly’s Cody (10), Willy (9) and Micky and the Motorcars’ Gary (7), and Micky (6), to create this great collection of Christmas songs. the original album was released on cassette only with the single Lone-some Little Cowboy released on a 45 to radio stations. Muzzie and family
friend Pinto Bennett hand-delivered cassette copies in five-pound sacks of Idaho potatoes to all the major pub-lishing and record companies in Nash-ville. twenty-two years later, Muzzie still gets requests every year for cop-ies of the album, so he decided to fi-nally make it available. Muzzie says, “I promise you, this is about as hon-est and cute as yer gonna get. If you are fans of any of the Braun Broth-ers, we guarantee this will tickle ya and get ya in the holiday mood!” Go to www.cdbaby.com/AlbumDetails.aspx?AlbumID=braunfamily to check it out.

Snow lovers hail, La Niña!Sun Valley’s 75th
anniversary season is off to
a great start and getting better by the day.
The resort took a giant leap for-ward for the season on Friday, opening most of the River Run side of the mountain, in addition to Upper Warm Springs following several inches of new snow. Powderhounds frol-icked in bottomless snow as runs like Race Arena, Exhibition and Olympic opened for the season.
And while the warm weather has limited snow making, snow from heaven has softened the slopes.
Lift tickets remain discounted at $57 for an adult and $35 for a child through Dec. 17.
Pity those who didn’t book their reservations until the day after Christmas.
Roundhouse Restaurant makes its dinner debut on Fri-day. The restaurant will be open for the rest of the season from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, offering dinner-go-
ers the opportunity for a goosebump experi-
ence as they gaze upon the lights of Ketchum from the gondola or Round-house porch. Din-ner at 7,700 feet includes elk medal-
lions, filet mignon, braided puff pastry
salmon and sautéed stuffed breast of pheasant.
Reservations are a hot commod-ity. Get yours at 208-622-2012.
Come Saturday you can demo Demo Volkl skis at Pete Lane’s in the river Run Plaza all day Saturday. And The Elephant’s Perch, Backwoods Mountain Sports and factory reps will offer telemark/randonee demos at the bottom of River Run on Sunday.
Next week you’ll want to rum-mage in your closet for the way you were…or the way you wear.
Vintage and bizarre skiwear from the 30s to the 90s could earn you a prize in Sun Valley’s Vintage Ski-Wear Party at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18 at the River Run Plaza.
Meanwhile, Brian Callahan and crew are adding new rails
and bumps to Dollar Mountain’s Poverty Flats.
Off the slOpes…What a difference a week
makes.Last weekend we were skiing
on the fluffiest, coldest powder we could imagine. This weekend it was downright sticky.
But the wetter snow is just what the doctor ordered to cover the pesky roots sticking up through the snow.
All the trails maintained by Blaine County Recreation Dis-trict are being groomed for both skate and classic skiing, with the exception of Billy’s Bridge.
And Sun Valley Nordic is off to its best start in recent memory. The Center opened Proctor Loop a couple days ago and the new snow is icing on the cake for the trails that were already open.
Try out the latest skate and classic skis for free from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Galena Lodge on Saturday. The Elephants Perch, Backwoods Mountain Sports, Galena and factory sales reps will all be on hand to tout the newest latest things in kicking and gliding.

theweeklypaper • 7Wednesday 12.8.10 Skiing is a dance, and the mountain always leads.
8 • theweeklypaper There’s no waiting for friends on a powder day. Wednesday 12.8.10
the week starts under an auspi-cious new moon in Sagittarius. this passionate lunar placement will push the “restart” button on some rela-tionships, allowing for a fresh burst of excitement to propel things forward during the week. Uranus goes direct on Sunday, as well, and the rebellious planet begins a seven-month mission to overcome oppressive conditions and forces that limit our freedom and well-being.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). the best relationships are balanced. Although it would be tacky for you to tally up the friendship points to see who is ahead, keeping track in some private way might be a good idea this week. In a true friendship, you both have some-thing to gain from the connection. It’s a win-win arrangement.
tAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have creative energy welling up in you and at first will not know how to best di-rect it. Also, it feels like you don’t have time to waste in making things that are not useful or practical. However, the truth is that the world needs your creativity and you are a better person for having expressed your gifts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You ex-pect yourself to be disciplined and self-motivated. If you falter, it might help you to know that the top players in any game require teammates. Even the very best athletes in the world hire coaches to keep them on track. Success is never really a solo effort. Everyone needs someone.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). take note of your issue with another per-son, and see whether you can figure out why you feel the way you do. Usu-ally, the thing that bothers you about
someone else will be a tendency that’s in you, too. otherwise, why would you find it so irritating? Ask yourself what you are so afraid of. the answer frees you.
LEo (July 23-Aug. 22). those who work half as hard as you still seem to get by. It may seem to you that they are getting away with something, but they are not. they are simply doing what’s expected of them. You expect more of yourself and do more. the rewards for this are immense and yet not always so obvious.
VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Human nature dictates that in order to avoid pain you’ll remember the cause of it and steer clear of that source. So it may not be easy for you to forget the stinging past, but try anyway. You’ll be so much happier when you regularly remember the parts of your life that made you feel joyful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 23). Look at the work people do, and let that speak louder than their opinions and postur-ing. Just because a person has a seri-ous demeanor doesn’t mean they are doing the smart or sensible thing. A person can be brilliant with a smile on his face and can accomplish hugely im-portant tasks laughing all the way.
SCoRPIo (oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t make a full-out business plan for your personal life because there are too many variables and unknowns and because most of the results you want are intangible and therefore not easily quantified. However, it is good to have some kind of desire, direction and goal for how you want to love and be loved.
SAGIttARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). there’s conflict in your world, and
you’ll rise above it. Breathe through the tension. then put some distance between you and the problem. this will allow you to look at the situation from another angle. the shift in per-spective helps you see how you might come together on a higher level as friends.
CAPRICoRN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have huge passion at your disposal, but you’re very cool about how you show it. You realize that if you arrive on the scene with the intensity of a thunderbolt, you’ll scare everyone. Instead, you let the energy build up inside you. You’ll release it at just the moment that it will do the most good.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A certain belief is dominating your exis-tence this week. the events that un-fold, the environments you visit and inhabit, and the people you interact with all seem to be in cahoots in re-gards to this dominant belief. Whether or not the belief happens to be true is irrelevant. Everything will match up in support of it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It will be liberating to give up any residual opin-ions you might harbor that really don’t belong in your contemporary world. Maybe it’s something you picked up from your parents or from society in times gone by. You’ll recognize that the idea no longer applies, and you’ll gladly give it up.
tHIS WEEK’S BIRtHDAYS: You have a knack for landing in fortuitous situ-ations and will do so often this year. When you bestow your trust in some-one, you’ll be in good hands. this month brings a small miracle. Next month your work will provide the means to make an investment.

The Punch line
tim is going to the annual Christmas party dressed as Frosty; here he gets caught picking his nose. PHoto: SUSAN LIttLEFIELD
Avid weekly paper reader, Susan Littlefield, who has lived in the Valley for over 35 years, claims that laughter is the best medi-cine. She creates these scenarios in her husbands N-scale model railroad.
Taking life on life’s terms
Rabbit Hole is a pro-foundly sad movie. But in its sadness are a
depth and power rarely seen in films today. The loss of a child is indescribable and the dam-age that such a tragedy causes can leave a family shattered in its aftermath. Although the subject matter can be trivialized by a sea of made-for-TV movies, this film triumphs in a territory where the majority have crashed and burned.
Most of the credit belongs to the excellent writing, as the film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same
name by David Lind-say-Abaire. Abaire is one of the stage’s premier young playwrights and his adaptation to the screen delivers in spades. Writing can be the founda-tion upon which a great film can be built and Rabbit Hole makes the case eloquently. Add in the superb direction of John Cameron Mitchell and two Os-car-worthy performances and the result is one of the best pictures of the year.
Nicole Kidman (who also produced the play) and Aaron Eckhart are the typical sub-urban couple whose lives have become unhinged with the tragic death of their four-year-old son eight months before. Struggling to make sense of the tragedy,
they find themselves being pulled apart
as they try to deal with the unfathom-able. With their lives crashing and burning, they both try to find solace in different ways.
Eckhart connects emotionally with a
woman that he meets at a support group and Kidman
connects with the high school student that accidentally killed their son in a car accident.
The performances by the two leads are superlative, as is Diane Weist as Kidman’s mother, who also lost a son to drug abuse, and Miles Teller as the high school student that helps Kid-man reconnect to the world. Rab-bit Hole is no day at the beach. But no one ever said that great art was easy.

toni Bogue shows off several flavors of her toni’s Sun Valley Ice Cream, hand-made in her spotless commercial kitchen in Ketchum.
PHoto: JIMA RICE/tWP
Toni’s Sun Valley Ice Cream
Toni Bogue, 37-year-old business owner, commu-
nity business advocate, and hard worker, is the owner/operator of locally-made Toni’s Sun Valley Ice Cream, an artisanal, super-premium ice cream. How did our Valley land this prize entrepreneur?
“I came here for a two-week vacation 17 years ago after college with a friend,” Toni explains, “and I never left.” She worked at Sun Valley Company’s deli, taught at The Community School, and waitressed at Sushi on Second, sometimes work-ing three jobs. “That’s how it is here,” she laughs. “You have to take on a lot to make it.” For her, the sense of close personal community was worth it.
It was Sushi on Second that offered Toni a fo-cus for her busi-ness instincts and high energy. “We were order-ing ice cream from Seattle, but both the quality and shipping were unreliable. So we decided to make our own. I volunteered,” she recounts, true to form. Her first attempt to make two gal-lons of ice cream in her home was an eye-opener. “It took eight hours for me to get one container of mix to freeze,” she explains. “Sometimes I’d get up at two a.m. to start another batch.”
When Sushi on Second placed its first order for four gallons of ice cream, Toni took 12 days to make it. Fortunately, the owners were “really nice,” she says, but she instantly knew she needed an ice cream maker if she wanted a real business. “A sec-ond-hand commercial ice cream maker cost $1,300 and I sold everything—skis, skateboard, bike, snowboard—to be able to cover my first capital expense. ” Lo and behold, “It produced two quarts in 20 minutes and ran continuously on its own refrig-eration,” she wryly notes.
And so, Toni’s Sun Valley Ice Cream was born—“Handmade with love and unbridled devo-tion in Sun Valley, Idaho”—as the logo says. The business grew quickly, supplying four restaurants, then six, then 10, churning out several customized flavors. After 15 months, local grocery stores placed orders, followed by Boise stores. At that
point, Toni aimed to create enough
flavors to fill four feet of shelf space, “so I could re-ally compete.” Now, Toni’s Sun Valley Ice
Cream taste palate has 24 flavors on 16 feet of shelving, including green
tea, toasted coco-nut, ultimate
chocolate, cinnamon, ginger, espresso, and seasonal flavors such as peppermint stick.
As her business grew, Toni remained unaware of terms like “customer base” and “business model.” “I tend to learn the hard way,” she acknowledges. “But I never doubted I could make
it. I just think that’s the way of the entre-preneur.” One thing she has always known, however, is her product: best-in-class and top-of-the-line. Toni’s ice cream is all-natural, an artisanal homemade prod-uct well worth the price. She promises that’s the way it will remain.
Summer is Toni’s big season, when
she takes on a gaggle of part-time employees and one full-time employee. In the last two years, however, her business has been hit by the economic downturn. “I had to look closely at things and make some serious adjustments,” she says, “but I realized that I’m committed to keeping this busi-ness going and to staying in the Valley.”
Toni’s next step is deciding whether and how to expand To-ni’s Ice Cream. Options include marketing to small, high-end chains and/or in geographies whose seasons complement Sun Valley. She might also brand the business as a niche franchise, similar to Mrs. Fields cookies. Whatever direction she takes, Toni is certain of three things: “I don’t want to get caught up in the money thing. I don’t want to lose the freedom I have. And I don’t want the business to be the same in 10 years as it is today.”

From tradition to progress–chilli to drugsThe tug of war be-
tween tradition and progress,
the cherished and the waves of change, continues unabated. No question we often throw the baby out with the bath water, and so often lose as much as we gain. The negatives of change tend to show up in cultural, quality-of-life issues: the home-cooked ‘happy meal,’ the unlocked front door, all things ‘grandma.’ The list is endless. It’s natural, as we age, to see the terrain of the past and to value some of the things left behind. The trick many of us do not master is to avoid being left behind.
I spent my professional years (1970-2000) as a head chef. My childhood years were spent in Budapest, which was tan-tamount to living in the 19th century. In a culinary sense, I’ve lived for well over a century, mostly because my mother was a great cook and made everything from scratch, including killing the chicken. Today, we can still do that, but at least we have a choice. The evolution of cooking has offered a great vantage point from which to see and interact with the two sides of the coin of change.
Restaurants and the culinary profession have come a long way since the 1950s, and all for the better. Food variety, cleanliness, freshness, safer work environ-ment, more women chefs, the near elimination of the abuse suffered by waitresses, are all changes that occurred since the 1980s. This Valley is a culinary Mecca, so we don’t see the down-sides of restaurant food, unless we travel. More on that in later
articles.I’ll start by telling a tale of
woe. One of my culinary loves is chili-infused Southwestern food. A good ‘adobo’ relies on pure, ground red chilis from northern New Mexico (fresh or dried whole peppers can also be used). My supply ran out, so I called a friend in Santa Fe to ship me some. The last time I shopped for some was in 2002, and it was easy to find at about $6/pound. He looked and couldn’t find any. No roadside stands along the High Road to Taos (Rt. 76). The hunt for chili became a journey. It turns out most of the chili sold in the area was from Hatch, in southern New Mexico, and misrepresented as northern. The latter has more flavor; it is not a ‘monocultured’ commodity, but a product of family plots. The peppers are either oven-dried in hornos, or sun-dried.
Finally, he found some along Rt. 85 in Espagnola. The little
old ladies in a shack took one look at him, saw ‘gringo’—or not local—and jacked up the price to $20/pound. Much to my dismay, he bought some. He returned later, found some younger grow-ers and a better price. So why the scarcity? Population pres-sures, the decline of small family farming, too many trailers, not enough acreage. Farm land is now real estate. Other reasons include the young generation’s refusal to carry on an agricul-tural tradition, and the bane of all rural America, drug traf-ficking, which is big business in Chimayo. In just a few years, a characteristic staple, a source of pride of a culture, has all but disappeared—a bit of the past I’d love preserved.

Grammy Award-winning Isbin to playWhen you’re
Sharon Isbin, you
get letters written on White House stationery.
You get invita-tions asking you to perform before the President.
You get the first Grammy awarded to a classical guitarist in 28 years.
And then, just for good mea-sure, you get a second and third Grammy to prove the first wasn’t a fluke.
Sharon Isbin, hailed as America’s preeminent classical guitarist, will kick off the second season of the Sun Valley Artist Series Saturday night.
She will perform at 7 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum.
It will be her second Sun Val-ley appearance. She performed in Sun Valley 10 years ago for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts—the same year she won her first Grammy, that one for Best Instrumental Soloist.
Susan Spelius Dunning, who co-founded the Sun Valley Artist Series, was among those who attended that Thanksgiving con-cert. There wasn’t an empty seat in the former Catholic Church where Isbin played, even though the ski resort had yet to open and the town was “completely dead,” she recalled.
“For a while, Christopher Parkening was the big classical guitarist. But now it’s Sharon Isbin. Sharon Isbin is the biggest name in the classical guitar world right now. You look at all of the magazine covers she’s been on and it’s really pretty shocking,” Dunning said.
It’s been an amazing journey for a woman who once fancied herself sending rockets into space.
Isbin, now 54, started playing the guitar at age nine entirely by accident. It was her brother who had asked for guitar lessons while the family was on sabbati-cal in Italy and the family found him a classical guitar teacher who had been a pupil of Spanish legend Andres Segovia.
“But when my brother real-ized the teacher wasn’t going to teach him how to play like Elvis Presley, he bowed out and I
volunteered to take his place,” Isbin recalled.
Taking her broth-er’s place more out of a sense of duty than a sense of calling, Isbin didn’t fall head
over heels for the guitar immediately. The daughter of a chemical engi-neering professor at the University
of Minnesota, she was more interested in
launching grasshoppers on her model rockets.
But when she won a competi-tion that allowed her to perform with the Minnesota Orchestra, she decided that performing in front of 5,000 people was more exciting then holing herself up in a laboratory with nerdy scien-tists.
And a career was born.She became the first classical
guitarist to record with the New York Philharmonic.
She created a guitar depart-ment at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York.
She created a guitar festival at Carnegie Hall.
She sent one of her two dozen CDs into space.
She performed at the memo-rial tribute at Ground Zero and was featured on the soundtrack of Martin Scorsese’s Acad-emy Award-winning movie, “The Departed.”
And, since Mozart never wrote a piece for guitar, she commis-sioned a series of concertos for the guitar by well-known composers.
The way she coaxes nuances from her guitar by the way she angles her fingers and finger-nails has earned her a myriad of accolades.
“Her instrument speaks with a thousand colors… positively hypnotic,” wrote one reviewer for the Chicago Tribune. “In her hands, the guitar takes on the precision of a diamond, each note a clear shining facet that catches, prism-like, a glint of the spectrum,” wrote a New York Times reviewer.
Isbin shrugs it off modestly.“I just wanted to become the
best player I could be,” she said.Dunning isn’t as modest .“There are a lot of talented
people in the world. But what
sets the really good ones apart is passion. And Sharon Isbin has that passion. She loves what she does,” Dunning said. “There will be many people at that concert who have never heard a classical guitarist play solo—it’s a rare event—so pure, so transcenden-tal in its purity. I think they will be amazed.”
What she’ll perfOrmSharon Isbin will play Enrique Gra-
nados’ “Spanish Dance No. 5,” Isaac Albeniz’s gypsy-inspired “Mallorca” and “Asturias,” Spanish composer Francisco tarrega’s “Capricho Arabe” and Paraguay troubadour Agustin Mangore’s “La Catedral Waltz” during her concert Saturday night.
She also will play two compositions written for her: John Duarte’s “Joan Baez Suite” is comprised of such famil-iar tunes as the mournful “Barbara Al-len;” “House of the Rising Sun,” which was originally the lament of a miner’s daughter who worked in a brothel; and Pete Seeger’s “Where Have all the Flowers Gone?” and “Wildwood Flower.” Leo Brouwer’s “the Black Decameron” features three ballads inspired by love stories from Africa: “Lovers Fleeing through the Valley of the Echoes,” “the Harp of the War-rior” and “the Maiden in Love.”

Dollar Mountain is turning into Kiddie World this winter as the Sun Valley Snow-Sports School ramps up the fun. PHoto: KAREN BoSSICK/tWP
By KAREN BOSSICK
The Sun Valley Snows-ports School is offering a variety of new classes and
activities revolving around its new Kiddie World and expanded Terrain Park on Dollar Moun-tain. Among them: Terrain Park 101, and Freestyle Fridays.
Thursdays, meanwhile, have been designated Pee Wee Race Day.
“We’re really trying to ramp up the energy of our program. Our goal is to be fun and high energy,” said Snowsports School Director Allan Patzer.
The school is offering classes for preschoolers ages 3 through 5 for the first time two days a week.
Titled Little Spud Sessions, the first session will be held Jan. 11-12, Jan. 18-19 and Jan. 25-26. Session two is Feb. 1-2, 8-9 and 15-16. Session three is March 1-2, 8-9 and 1 5-16. The sessions will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. The cost is $180 and includes lift tickets.
Also new this year: A freestyle camp for 6 to 18 years old on Dollar Mountain that will tackle the rails and jumps.
“We’re going to have small and medium sized railings and jumps this year so we can cater to riders of all skill levels,” said Children’s Manager Dave Bolte. “Last year it seemed the terrain park features were pretty much large and extra large.”
The camp for skiers and snowboarders ages 6 through 16 will be held Jan. 15-16, Feb. 26-27 and March 26-27 on Dol-lar Mountain. The all-day camp costs $360 per session.
The Blaine County Kids Program has been renamed the
Sun Valley SnowSports Camps Spud Sessions. The first session will be held Jan. 8-9 Jan. 15-16 and Jan. 22-23. Session two will take place Jan. 29-30, Feb. 5-6 and Feb. 12-13. And a third ses-sion will take place Feb. 26-27, March 5-6 and March 12-13.
The program is open to children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Children may choose between morning classes from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and afternoon classes from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Cost is $150 and includes lift tickets.
Burton’s Learn to Ride camps for snowboarders ages 6 through 12 and adults over age 13 will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dollar Mountain.
For the bigger folk, Sun Val-ley is offering two “Her Turn” Women’s Clinics featuring Carol Levine, founder of the PSIA National Women’s Education College and head coach of the University of Utah women’s ski team.
The three-day sessions feature five hours of on-snow instruction each day, free ski demos, lunch, video analysis, a welcome party and après ski party and a gift bag.
One will be held Feb. 4 through 6; another, March 4-6. Cost is $575.
And Mountain Masters will begin Jan. 10 and run through March 18.
The program offers partici-pants the chance to ski with dif-ferent ski instructors each week. Classes run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays except for President’s Week.

cal, nature to it with these three men locked in a room for a week trying to rewrite the script,” said John Glenn, Company of Fools Core Artist.
British playwright Ron Hutchinson’s play, which opened in 2004 in Chicago, is based on the true story of Hollywood Pro-ducer David Selznick’s decision to shut down the production of his epic “Gone With The Wind” in 1939 and start all over after he decides the script he’s work-ing with is too unwieldy.
Never mind that Hollywood had been abuzz about the filming of Margaret Mitchell’s blockbust-er novel for two years.
“The publicity around the film was huge—it took two years just to cast Scarlet O’Hara,” said Alburger.
Selznick, who had already made “King Kong,” sends for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht, who wrote the screenplays for “The Front Page” and several Alfred Hitchcock movies. And he pulls Director Victor Fleming off the set of “The Wizard of Oz” two weeks before Fleming was to wrap it up.
Then he shuts himself and the other two in a locked room for five days while his frazzled secretary, Miss Poppenguhl, feeds them a “brain food” diet of bananas and peanuts.
As you can imagine, it’s not a happy union.
Hecht hasn’t read the book and doesn’t care to. He’s uncomfortable with writing a movie about slave owners and even more uncomfortable writ-
ing about a morally bankrupt heroine whom he considers a child abuser. And, as a passion-ate Zionist, he can’t imagine that anyone would want to see a movie about the Civil War, particularly when war is about to break out in Europe.
Fleming, who made Gary Cooper a star in “The Virgin-ian,” was so sure the movie was going to bomb that he opts for a straight fee rather than a per-centage of the proceeds.
“Give me a fee. I know a turkey when I see one,” Alburger said, mimicking Fleming.
But Selznick is determined to prove to his father-in-law Louis B. Mayer that he can make this movie. Finally, in desperation, he throws the book away and begins to act out the novel, in-
cluding the scene where Melanie gives birth, to help Hecht write the screenplay.
“What drives the play is that all three guys are scared out of their minds, wondering, ‘Do I really have talent?’ ‘Will the movie be any good?’ ” said Rein-hart. “Selznick is a gambler—he gambles to let off steam and he’s gambling his career on this movie. But he feels he achieves his most success when he’s liv-ing off chaos. And this is pure chaos.”
“It’s also a great good time,” added Creighton.” It’s funny watching these guys try to get through this. And, if you pay at-tention, you’ll find so much of it parallels what’s going on in the rest of the world with the rise of Hitler, and all.”

Second season dazzlesSun Valley Artist
Series lineupBy KAREN BOSSICK
The Sun Valley Artist Series will kick off its second season on Saturday with the daz-
zling artistry of three-time Grammy Award-winning guitarist Sharon Is-bin. And it will conclude in April with the celebrated St. Petersburg String Quartet in a performance that has had audiences on their feet through-out the world.
And in between it will feature the Italian Saxophone Quartet, which will play classical selections dur-ing its first half and return after intermission to perform the music of Joplin, Gershwin and contemporary international composers.
Co-founder Susan Spelius Dunning said the series expanded to five con-certs from four this season in order to accommodate the St. Petersburg Quartet.
“St. Petersburg is a city of such his-torical significance. It’s had so many famous composers. And to think our small town is having the ultimate crown come perform here is so cool,” she said.
Here’s a look at the other four con-certs following Isbin’s:
Susan Spelius Dunning, 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 8
Dunning, who founded the Sun Val-ley Artist Series, was raised in Chica-go where she performed her solo piano recital debut at age 16 and made her first orchestral appearance at Grant Park Pavilion in downtown Chicago. She received a bachelor’s degree from The American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and a master’s degree from Colorado State University where she continued her studies in the Doctorate of Musical Arts program before going on to study in San Francisco with the renowned Hungarian concert pianist,
Sari Biro. She has played at concerts throughout the world, including his-toric locations in Loch Lomond, Nairn and Wick, Scotland.
She will perform Mozart’s “Fan-tasia,” Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” Chopin’s “Polonaise,” “Nocturne,” “Grande Valse Brilliante,” as well as pieces by Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Aram Khatchaturian.
Cellist Ben Hong and Pianist Peter Henderson, 7 p.m. Satur-day, Feb. 12
Hong, born in Taipei, Taiwan, won his country’s National Cello competi-tion three years in a row before leav-ing home at age 13 for the Julliard School of Music. He joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1993 at age 24 where he was the soloist for the Philharmonic’s premiere of Tan Dun’s “Crouching Tiger Concerto” in the Hollywood Bowl. He has collaborated with such artists as pianist Emanuel Ax, Bobby McFerrin and the Shang-hai String Quartet.
Henderson, former orchestral and chamber keyboardist with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, performs frequently as an ensemble keyboard-ist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and performs with the St. Louis-based Ilex Piano Trio.
The two will perform Haydn’s “Divertimento in D Major,” Schubert’s “Sonata in A Minor,” Debussy’s “So-nata Pour Violoncello and Piano” and Beethoven’s “Sonata for Piano and Violoncello No. 4 in C Major.”
Italian Saxophone Quartet, 7 p.m., Friday, March 25
Formed in 1982, the quartet has won several chamber music competi-tions, receiving special recognition for their interpretations of contemporary music. The quartet, made up of Fed-erico Mondelci, Marco Gerboni, Mario Marzi and Massimo Mazzoni, has recorded three CDs and performed throughout the world.
The quartet will play Bach’s “Pre-lude and Fugue No. 16,” Scarlatti’s “Three Pieces,” Mozart’s “Adagio,” as
well as Gershwin’s “Blues” from “An American in Paris,” Javier Girotto’s “Morronga la Milonga,” Astor Piazzol-la’s “Oblivion-Libertango” and a host of other compositions.
St. Petersburg String Quartet, 7 p.m. Saturday, April 30
One of the world’s most esteemed chamber ensembles, the quartet is comprised of violinist Alla Aranovs-kaya and Evgeny Zvonnikov, viola player Boris Vayner and cellist Leonid Shukayev.
Formed in 1985 as the Lenin-grad String Quartet, they have won several prestigious international competitions, including the All-Soviet Union String Quartet Competition, the Tokyo International Chamber Music Competition, the Vittorio Gui International Competition for Cham-ber Ensembles in Florence, Italy, and the Grand Prix Musica Viva at the Melbourne, Australia, International Chamber Music Competition. They have been nominated for a Grammy and have performed at many of the world’s most prestigious concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, and the Lincoln Center.
They will perform Alexander Gla-zunov’s “Five Novelettes,” Beethoven’s “String Quartet No. 11 in F minor” and Alexander Borodin’s “Quartet No. 2 in D Major.”
The Artist Series featured sold-out performances last year during its inaugural season, followed by a solo benefit concert featuring internation-ally renowned pianist Misha Dichter in the Sun Valley Pavilion over Labor Day weekend.
What’s mOreWhat: Sun Valley Artist SeriesWhen: Five concerts—one each month—
beginning Dec. 11 and ending April 30.Where: Presbyterian Church of the Big
Wood at Warm Springs and Saddle roads in Ketchum

Nordic season revs upThe Sun Valley Nordic Center hopes
to offer more kids activities this year, including a kid’s park
with whoop-de-doos, a snow castle, and a place to play soccer on skis, says Ivana Radlova, the Nordic Center’s new director.
The children’s area will feature a place for kids to play games, hold birthday parties and pee wee races.
The Nordic center also plans to add snowshoe cardio workouts to its historic snowshoe tours. And it will offer a full moon ski dinners, along with a costumed Valentine’s Day race.
These are a few of the changes cross country ski enthusiasts can expect as the Sun Valley area rolls out its new “Nordic Town USA” moniker in order to lure Nordic skiers from Chippewa, Wis., and other such places to ski on the area’s 200 kilometers of groomed trails.
“I’ve seen a lot of Nordic places and this is one of the best because of the amount of trails, quality of grooming and plain ol’ beauty,” says Radlova, who came to the United States from her native Czechoslovakia to race for the Uni-versity of New Mexico. “The skiing is so close to the towns. Even in Hailey, I can get on the cross country trail two blocks from my home and ski nearly all the way to Galena. And the winter is quite bearable here because of the sun.
“I tell people: Be patient because once you get discovered you won’t know what to do with all the people,” adds Radlova, who served as race director of Rocky Mountain Nordic Ski Education Foundation in Steamboat Springs, Colo., prior to moving to Sun Valley last year.
The second Sun Valley Nordic Festival, which hopes to attract a growing number of winter visitors, will be bigger and more exciting than last year, says Blaine County Recreation District Director Jim Keating.
The nine-day festival—Jan. 29 through Feb. 5, 2011—will again feature a $49 nine-day ski trail pass good for skiing on all the valley’s trails, including those at Sun Valley Nordic Center. It will culminate with the 32-kilometer Swix/Boul-der Mountian Tour, one of America’s longest run-ning and most respected cross country ski races on Feb. 5.
This year the Tour will feature $10,000 in prize money, Keating says. And the Ketchum
sprint under the lights in
downtown Ketchum will be the real deal this year, as well,
with prize money for
the winners.The Nordic Fes-
tival will include the Second Annual World Snowshoe Dance Con-test, bonfire and music festival. There will also be a new Twilight Ski and Dinner at the Sun Valley Nordic Center and an opportunity to ski with celebrities, in addition to other events.
The Festival will also feature the Sun Valley Snowshoe Challenge, which will serve as a West Region qualifier for United States Snowshoe Association (USSSA) National Championships, on Jan. 29 at Sun Valley’s White Clouds trails. The race sponsored by sunvalleyrunning.com and The Elephants Perch, will include a 5K, 10K and a Kids Kilo Fun Run, and snowshoes will be offered free of charge to those who don’t have their own.
The Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation is working with the Nordic community to bring in the U.S. Distance National Championships on March 26 and 27 and the “FIS/USSA Super Tour Finals on March 29- April 2.
“The Sun Valley Ski Education is hosting more events this year than the last four or five years—our way to support Sun Valley’s 75th an-niversary,” says Foundation Director Don Wise-man. “The economic impact of our home events alone is conservatively estimated to be in excess of $1 million. And that doesn’t take into account the other impacts the junior programs have on the valley in terms of equipment and jobs.”
By popular demand Galena Lodge has brought back its introductory first-time lessons, which include private lessons, rentals and trail pass for $60, says Erin Zell, who recently signed a three-year extension as co-manager of Galena Lodge.
The lodge will also offer its free showshoe
outings at 11 a.m. Wednesday and host the free Snowshoe with a Ranger walks at 11 a.m. Thurs-day.

What is your definition of a local? Would a person have to be born in the
Valley, or just Idaho, or perhaps have lived here for five years? Or is there some other arbitrary measure? No matter what their geographical history, everyone can aspire to be Valley Local with a capital L.
Eating locally has been a hot topic of late, but going local cov-ers more ground than just food purchases. Locals begin their search for a service in the Wood River phone book, not the Twin Falls one. Locals investigate businesses in the Valley before ordering online. Localistas are concerned about all aspects of community health and they know that money spent near
home tends to recirculate repeat-edly there.
Michael Shuman, author of Going Local and the Small-Mart Revolution, has written: Going local does not mean walling off the outside world. It means nur-turing locally-owned businesses, which use local resources sus-tainably, employ local workers at decent wages and serve primar-ily local consumers.
It’s true that not every need can be met in our small Valley, but try aiming for 75 percent of your purchases this holiday. See how it feels to think and act locally. Viva Wood River Valley! Have a question or care to draft your own ERCbeat? Contact us at [email protected] or 726-4333.

Raising the mark to $50kFrosty was hot.
The tree-top-ping snow-
man adorning a Christmas tree decorated by Sue Bridgman Florists incited a bidding war be-tween Jim Cimino and Deb Sievers at Saturday’s Festival of Trees auction.
Of course, the ski-and-stay package donated by Sun Valley that went with it didn’t hurt.
Elizabeth Pfordte and Mary Root each won a $1,000 Atkin-sons’ gift certificates, with Root donating half of her winnings to the Senior Connection.
The festival—the thirteenth--was the best ever, raising about $50,000, said Kimberly Coonis, executive director of the Senior Connection.
The Festival helped jump start a month full of holiday events, along with a drippy tree light-ing in Hailey, the Papoose Club Holiday Bazaar and a Hallelujah Chorus sing-a-long served up by the Caritas Chorale.
The holiday festivities con-tinue this week with the City of Ketchum’s Holiday Tree Lighting from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Ketchum Town Square at 4th and East streets.
There will be music, cocoa, cider and cookies and revelers will be invited to take a free spin around the ice rink, weather per-mitting. Santa plans to arrive on a fire engine at 6 p.m., as he gives Rudolph a rest in prepara-tion for Christmas Eve.
The Footlite Dancers will be spreading holiday cheer on Friday with a 12:35 p.m. per-formance at the Senior Center and a 1:15 p.m. performance at Blaine Manor.
The ballet and tap dancers from the Footlight’s Ketchum and Hailey studios were choreo-graphed by Hilarie Neely and Michele Minailo.
They will be joined by R.L. Rowsey’s B-Tones men’s vo-cal ensemble from Wood river High School.
Tara’s Red Cottage will of-
fer a variety of Christmas gifts, including ornaments, jewelry, birdhouses, linens, fleece wear, watercolor cards, antler accesso-ries, homemade jams, garlands, wreaths and fresh flowers from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Galena and Second Avenue in Hailey.
The Croney Cove European Christmas Market will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Satur-day eight miles past the Warm Springs ski lifts at 1024 Warm Springs Road.
The European-style market features homemade delicacies, ornaments, gifts, collectibles, European antiques, rugs and other items while the scent of hot spiced wine heated over an open fire wafts through the air.
Admission is $5 and will include a raffle ticket for prizes. Admission goes to help local kids visit Ketchum’s Sister City in Tegernsee, Germany.
Bellevue is also getting into the spirit of things on Saturday with a hayride, caroling, decorat-ing contest and other events (see article on page 4 of this section).
Anam Cara will hold a free holiday concert at 5:30 p.m. Sat-urday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church (see article on page 5 in the main section).
And St. Luke’s will hold its
Winter Ball from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday at Sun Valley’s Limelight Room.
Get Your HolidaY PiesDid you know?The Senior Connection is selling hol-
iday pies. It costs $7 for an apple, cher-ry, peach, chocolate cream or pumpkin pie and $9 for lemon meringue and pecan pies.
The deadline for Christmas pies is Dec. 20 with all profits benefitting the Senior Connection.
Call 788-3468 for more informa-tion.

Sun Valley Heli Ski Guides has se-lected Reeder Flying Service as their helicopter provider for the 2010/11 ski season. Sun Valley Heli Ski is the oldest heli ski operation in the continental U.S. and is celebrating its 45th year of operation. It operates out of Sun Val-ley Resort and the Smoky Mountain Lodge; the only fly-in heli ski lodge in the Lower 48. In 2008, Sun Valley Heli Ski became part of epicQuest, which also owns and operates Chugach Powder Guides, alaska’s largest heli ski provider. Reeder Flying Service is located in Twin Falls and has been in operation since 1941. It was an avia-tion pioneer in Idaho and continues to be one of the leading aviation compa-nies in Idaho.
Reeder will be providing a eurocop-ter a-Star B-2 helicopter which will be
piloted by Steve West, chief pilot for Reeder, and Lon Stickney, longtime Sun Valley Heli Ski pilot. “Utilizing a lo-cal helicopter provider like Reeder has huge operational advantage for us and we are very excited that Reeder is once again providing helicopters to the heli ski industry,” says Scott Desserault, business manager for Sun Valley Heli Ski Guides. “Reeder has an outstand-ing safety record and some of the fin-est equipment in the industry.”
Sun Valley Heli Ski will begin opera-tions on Jan. 6, 2011, and will continue until the end of March, conditions per-mitting. For additional information on Sun Valley Heli Ski and epicQuest, con-tact Scott Desserault at 208-622-3108. For additional information on Reeder Flying Service, contact Gerald Haye at 208-733-5920.

The Bellevue Event Plan-ning Committee is pleased to announce that it will be
holding a contest for the “Best Decorated Main Street Business or Residence” on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2010, as part of its annual “Light Up Bellevue for the Holi-days” celebration.
The committee is encouraging all Main Street businesses and residences to show their holiday spirit by decorating the outside of their businesses or homes and, on Dec. 11, the Bellevue City Council will stroll Main Street, awarding the prize (courtesy of Dave’s Bestway and Big Wood Auto Body) for best-decorated, just prior to the official Bellevue Tree Lighting at 7 p.m.
Oak Street Foods will also play host to Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, where you can bring your own camera from 3-4 p.m. Professional photographer Jerry Hadam will be on hand from 4-6:30 p.m. The session will be free, but pictures can later be purchased from his website. Pets will also be welcome from 3-4 p.m. Cash donations will be ac-cepted for the Bellevue Library or non-perishable food donations for The Hunger Coalition.
Carolers will also be at Oak Street Foods. A group of small carolers led by Kim Stocking will sing from 5-6 p.m., the Bel-levue Elementary School choir will sing from 6-6:30 p.m. and the B-Tones (an all-male high school singing group) will be singing at the Christmas Tree lighting at the museum from 6:30-7 p.m.
Other activities include a hayride and a bake sale, to raise money for the Bellevue Public Library’s summer read-ing program, which has grown significantly over the past few years under the guidance of librarian Patty Gilman. The summer reading program serves approximately 150 elementary school-aged children and will expand to include middle-school-aged students for the first time this summer.
The Wood River High School Robotics team will also be sell-ing robotic stocking stuffers to help raise money for their trip to a national robotics competition.
A Christmas tree will also need decorating at the library throughout the month. For a $5 donation to the library, you can decorate your own ornament to hang on the library’s tree. You can also sign up at the library for the Bake Sale on the 11th and also enter a raffle held on the 11th, to win the library’s computers, which will soon be replaced.
This event is being made possible by Oak Street Foods, Alpine Tree Service, Guffy’s, City of Bellevue, Dave’s Best-way, Clearwater Landscaping, Saddletree Gallery, Sun Valley Company, Atkinsons’ Markets, Hawley Graphics, Sun Valley Garden Center, Big Wood Auto Body, Dennis and Virginia Whalen and Cory Griswold.

TWP: STOCK aRT, ILLUSTRaTION PURPOSeS
by Karen bossicK
The Metropolitan Opera’s first new production of Verdi’s “Don Carlo” since
1979 will be the subject of The Met: Live in HD series on Sat-urday.
The live transmission of the performance will be shown at 10:30 a.m. at the Big Wood Cin-ema in Hailey.
“Don Carlo” is a dark, intense epic in which love, war, politics and religion clash at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. This particular version is directed by Nicholas Hytner, the artistic director of London’s National Theatre. Verdi’s grand opera will be conducted by Yan-nick Nézet-Séguin, who led last season’s Live in HD transmis-sion of “Carmen.”
Roberto Alagna will sing
the conflicted title character; Marina Poplavskaya will portray Elisabeth of Valois, torn between duty to her husband, Philip, and love for his son, Carlo; Anna Smirnova is the “fatal beauty” Princess Eboli; Simon Keenly-side is the revolutionary Rodrigo; Ferruccio Furlanetto sings the tyrannical and tormented King Philip II; and Eric Halfvarson is the opera’s ultimate authority figure, the Grand Inquisitor.
The opening night perfor-mance on November 22 earned an enthusiastic ovation. “A clear-cut hit... rarely have I seen an opera audience so unanimously satisfied,” said a reviewer for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Information about The Met: Live in HD can be found at www.metopera.org/hdlive. Tickets in the U.S. range from $18 - $25.

The marvels of insurance
by MarTy MiLLer, bisneTT insUrance
While many may disagree with me, you’ve probably read enough from me to realize I
am a fan of the free-market insurance industry. It has its flaws, for sure, though I am aware of no other industry currently operating to perfection with the approval of everyone.
How many of us really, in spite of our dislike of insurance, have wondered what things might be like without insurance. How much would you be willing to spend on a new car, if you could not purchase insurance for it? Moreover, do you have enough in your savings to pay for repair or replacement to “the other guy’s car” if you were to, say, slide into it on a snowy road (as happened to me last week)? Or maybe something worse—ever had that morning sun or evening sunset in your eye as you drove into a crosswalk?
How much risk would an entrepreneur take on himself or herself in running a business, constructing a building or providing for an injured employee?
Would your banker be willing to make a loan to you for that new home if they thought it might burn down before you could pay off the loan?
Our agency represents several insurance companies, and it has been a good year on the company side—not too many claims, that is. To give you an idea, one company, through one agency, has returned close to $200,000 to our local economy this year through claims that have been paid. This could easily be 10 times as much with one major weather event or firestorm—such as the Castle Rock Fire—or even the loss of an expensive home. A five-year history, indeed, shows over $2 million returned to our economy.
It does sometimes seem like an awful lot that I pay for insurance—over $1,000 a year on the pickup alone. Ad-mittedly, I have it pretty well maxed on coverage—high limits, lower deductibles, lots of options such as an “opti-mum package,” towing, rental reimbursement and extra limits for medical expense. I marvel that it potentially could provide to someone else—up to $500,000—should I make a mistake out on the roadway. What other product can provide such a return if called upon to do so?
I’m not saying rush out and hug an insurance person (nice as it would be J)—I’m just saying the purchase of it perhaps deserves more thought than we tend to give to, say, peanut butter or toothpaste. Best wishes to all of you this holiday season.

Leaky Brainby Dr. Maria MaricicH
Brain imbalances are epidemic in our culture today, whether they show up as depression, memory con-cerns or neurological disorders. They are one of the
primary factors keeping many people from being optimally healthy and feeling good. Most of these problems are subtly debilitating, but have significant long term effects on indi-viduals, families and the work place.
There is a special mechanism in the brain called the Blood Brain Barrier. The purpose of the BBB is to filter substances as they enter the brain, allowing for nutrients and metabolically necessary ingredients to enter the brain, but not allowing toxins or things that could be damaging to enter. Many people have lost the integrity of the BBB leading to two types of brain dysfunction. The first type is psychiatric and includes conditions such as depression, bi-polar, sleep disorders, anger and anxiety. The second type is neurodegenerative and includes memory loss as well as diseases such as Alzheimer’s, MS and Parkinson’s.
Leaky Brain occurs when the barrier is working less efficiently than it should and becomes more permeable. Conditions that can lead to Leaky Brain are poor nutrition, too much sugar, stress, infection, toxicity and food allergies. Head trauma, even very minor ones, also have a deleterious effect on the brain due to inflammation.
The thing to know is that brain disorders are a systemic problem and not isolated to the brain. That may be one of the downfalls of medicine today, in that it tries to isolate problems to one organ or area when they are part of a “whole” system. What happens to the body happens to the brain. You can heal your brain by healing your body. There are several important steps to restoring your brain. The first step is optimizing nutrition. Most people are clear about a few things they could change in their own diet to improve their health. Start with that! The next step is to balance blood sugar. This is best done by eating less or no sweets, limited carbohydrates and minimal alcohol. Next, use some stress reducing techniques and get plenty of rest. Exercise has also been shown to help keep the brain healthy.
If you would like to engage the help of a holistic or func-tional medicine doctor, you will want to check hormones including adrenal, thyroid and sex hormone, as they all play a significant role in brain health. Systemic inflamma-tion caused by hidden food sensitivities can cause brain fog, depression and loss of words. These are easily discovered by lab tests.
Here is a simple at home test you can do to find out if you have leaky brain. Go to the health food store and get some GABA (or come by my office and I will give you a free sample). Take 1 or 2 capsules an hour before bed. If around bedtime you notice a distinct change, calm or in rare cases agitated, you probably have leaky brain. GABA should not cross the Blood Brain Barrier, but rather is a calming agent made in the brain. If the pure form affects you, it is a sign of leaky brain.

Supporting The CauseWhen I answered my door
the other day, a young GirlScout greeted me. She held abasket of cookies in her handwhile her dog sat patiently ather side.
However, I noticed that herdog wore a muzzle on its snout.The girl explained, "I bring mydog Ginger to help sell cookies,but he's not always friendly."
Rather perplexed, I asked theyoung girl, "How does yourdog help you sell cookies if hebites?"
"Well," she hesitated as sheheld out a box of cookies,"Ginger doesn't really bite,Ginger Snaps!"
I bought four boxes ofcookies!

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,I have a two-year-old dog andI'm thinking of getting anotherone. I say "thinking" becausemy husband believes one"spoiled" dog around the houseis more than enough. But everyweek I see an ad in our paperwith someone trying to find ahome for his or her pet becauseof allergies or other situations. Ifeel like I should take one ofthese pets in, but I don't knowwhat age dog to consider. I'mafraid that one too old won'tadjust, and one too young couldjust create havoc around ourhouse. Can you helpme determine whatage is appropriate?And do you have anythoughts on sneakinghim by my husband?
• • •Cash: Finding a dog that will
fit well with your family is theeasy part. It sounds like convinc-ing your husband might take moretime.
Carry: My wife spoils our dogas well so I think I can speak foryour husband. We're not afraid ofanother dog, we're just jealous.My dog gets to sit on the sofa withits feet up more than I do!
Cash: I agree that it's sad to seeso many dogs in need of a good
home. Many of the owners startout with good intentions, but dueto other circumstances, like aller-gies, they are forced to give uptheir pet. It can be a difficult deci-sion for them.
Carry: It sounds like the age ofthe dog you're looking to adoptisn't as important as its personali-ty. You need to find a pet that willinteract well with your other dogas well as you husband. Again,the difficult part may be your hus-band.
Cash: Maybe you can promisehim the same treatment as the dog.Occasionally, just rub his bellyand scratch behind his ears. That
might do the trick.Carry: An older dog could be a
great fit for your family providedit has been socialized with otheranimals. The best solution wouldbe to take your other dog, andprobably even your husband,along when you visit the prospec-tive pet. If everyone plays welltogether, then most likely youwon't have any problems.
Cash: And remember that notall adopted dogs come perfectlytrained. You may still need tospend some time teaching the dogproper behavior around the house.After all, most husbands don'tcome perfectly trained either.
Ask the Guys
Sounds like a messy breed.

Old Dog, New TricksMany people believe that
adopting an older dog leads tolarger veterinary bills. The factis that older dogs can actuallyrequire fewer trips to the vetunless they have age relatedproblems. All dogs, regardlessof age, need good nutrition,exercise, veterinary care andvaccination shots. If you're con-cerned about adopting a seniordog, ask for a health report fromthe veterinarian. Then you canmake an informed decisionabout adopting the pet into yourfamily.Healthy Bark
It's a proven fact that dogs(and cats) are good for yourhealth. Regardless of their age, aloving pet can help reduce yourstress and lower your blood pres-sure. They might even get youto exercise more as well.According to some medical stud-ies, the companionship of a pethelps you recover faster from ill-ness, heal quicker from surgeryand reduce your risk for cardio-vascular disease. That's a lot ofhealing power from one waggingtail. • • •Do you have a question or funny storyabout the classifieds? Want to just giveus your opinion? Email us at:[email protected].
