They foster BEAUTY, CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY, and VITALITY. The arts inspire us, soothe us, provoke us, involve us, and connect us. But they also CREATE JOBS & CONTRIBUTE TO THE ECONOMY. —Robert L. Lynch President and CEO, Americans for the Arts Arts organizations are pillars of economic growth. In a single year, arts and culture brought $29 million in spending to the Wood River Valley. The Center’s programming is a reason for people to visit the Wood River Valley and make it their permanent home. From large summer concerts and a nationally recognized Wine Auction to year-round educational experiences, The Center has a reputation for quality and commitment to the valley that MAKES THIS COMMUNITY VIBRANT. 24,419 Participants in Center programs 177 Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ programs offered 16 Collaborating organizations through BIG IDEA Projects 2017–2018 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT INSPIRING CREATIVITY For many of the students, placing themselves in the ‘shoes’ of the people in the images allowed them to use their KINESTHETIC LEARNING STYLE. I’m a believer in movement in the classroom to enhance learning, but this project took that idea to a new level. EXTREMELY POWERFUL TECHNIQUES, such as this, are WONDERFUL TOOLS. I feel very fortunate to have had The Center come to my classroom and take us all on this adventure. —Tim Rierden, Teacher, Wood River Middle School (Theatre Enrichment Project) Investment in our youth is at the core of Center programs. We spend a quarter of our annual budget on K–12 arts education programming in the valley. National research supports the finding that children involved in arts education show significant INCREASES IN GRADUA- TION RATES, EMPLOYABILITY and CREATIVE COMPETENCE. A student involved in the arts is four times more likely to be recognized for ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT. Every student in the Wood River Valley participates in a Center or Company of Fools program at least once throughout the year. Exposing youth to arts education is an investment in a collective future generation of engaged and thoughtful decisions makers and leaders. 6 Sun Valley Center for the Arts K–12 Arts Education programs (Student Exhibition Tours, Professional Artist Residencies, Classroom Enrichment Projects, Stages of Wonder, Student Matinees & Scholarship Program) 123 Individual K–12 Arts Education events 5,724 K–12 students served 30,179 Total student hours in Arts Education programming 2017–2018 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT CULTIVATING CURIOSITY There are no words to express how much The Center and Company of Fools have brought to my life, or how much I appreciate it! The older I am, the more I understand that THE ARTS are the foundation of my life, and they SUSTAIN LOVE, COMPASSION and CREATIVITY. I simply cannot thank all of you enough! —Jackie Cole Center member and Wood River Valley resident At the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, we are firm believers in the IMPORTANCE OF LIFELONG LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CURIOUS THINKERS OF ALL AGES. The Center offers multiple programs for adult learners, from lectures and panel discussions presented as part of our BIG IDEA projects to documentary films and evening exhibition tours. A range of adult classes, including masterclasses in painting and photography, one night workshops in a variety of craft techniques, life drawing open studios and evening writing workshops, offer adult participants with varying levels of expertise, from beginner to professional, the chance to develop their creative skills. The Center’s educational programs provides something for every adult learner seeking to ENGAGE MORE DEEPLY WITH ART AND IDEAS. 24 Adult classes offered 9 of 9 SOLD OUT Winter Performing Arts events 1,431 Film screening attendees 5,814 Summer and winter concert attendees 2017–2018 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT FOSTERING EMPATHY We are STORYTELLERS. Sometimes bringing NEW IDEAS into the space and often holding up a mirror to help each other see ourselves more clearly. At this moment it is more important than ever. The BEAUTY OF THEATRE—the being in the room with other human beings and breathing the same air—is its ability to close the emotional distance we all have between each other. The emotional proximity we have to things can CHANGE HEARTS AND MINDS. Company of Fools—this is what they do. It’s in their DNA. And IT’S SPECIAL. Thank you. —Cleo Gray, Ella in Company of Fools’ production of Life Sucks CULTURAL CONVERSATIONS are the way we change the world we live in. And the language of cultural conversation is art. Understanding and acceptance are currently some of our biggest national challenges. The arts have value because they make us better people by fostering empathy and compassion. The arts teach us history, they help us have conversations about challenging topics, they make us appreciate beauty and, ultimately, the arts connect us to one another. They help us appreciate our differences and challenge our own beliefs. 2,051 Student Matinee participants 55 Performances of live theatre (4 mainstage productions, 2 staged readings & 1 commissioned piece) 94% Of 2018 Community Survey respondents believe arts education is important in developing the five core skills our arts education programs seek to develop 2017–2018 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT ENGAGING EXPERIENCES Sun Valley Center for the Arts is a MULTIFACETED RESOURCE and GIFT FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I am frequently amazed at the WIDTH and BREADTH of the programs they develop and share. This one took me completely by surprise and left an INDELIBLE IMPRESSION on me and my group of learners. —Teacher, Classroom Enrichment Project participant ARTS AND COMMUNITY GO HAND IN HAND. Museum exhibitions and concerts are places to gather and share experiences with neighbors. Lectures, Company of Fools theatre and performing arts events invite us to come together to dance, cry, laugh and experience joy. The arts give us permission to try something new alongside others who might also be first time audience members, art students or volunteers. Together, we allow the arts to transport us out of our daily lives and into NEW WORLDS FULL OF IDEAS AND INSPIRATION. 784 Sun Valley Center for the Arts volunteers 1,503 Active Center members 2,497 Total Volunteer hours 98% Of 2018 Community Survey respondents said Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ programs are for “Everyone” and “The Center is a value to our community” 2017–2018 ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 17 YEAR IN REVIEW 18 BIG IDEAS & MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS FILM Bees Under the Sun April 13–June 22, 2018 part of the BIG IDEA The Unreliable Narrator This Land Is Whose Land?

  • Sonja Christopher
    Sonja Christopher Season: 1 Borneo Finish: 16th place / 1st boot / Day 3 Booted: 4-3-1 DOB: 1/28/37 Age during show: 63 Age now: 70 Marital Status: Single Occupation: Musician Hometown: Walnut Creek, California Luxury Item: Ukulele Biography: Sonja was born and raised in Olympia, Washington. Her studies at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, the University of Oslo in Norway, the University of Washington in Seattle and the University of California, Berkeley, produced a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, along with a teaching credential. Before retiring, Sonja worked as an investment counselor, tennis teacher and elementary school teacher. She currently works part-time as a music therapist, playing the banjo as she leads sing- alongs at Alzheimer's centers. She also enjoys performing in local community theater. Her favorite sport is swimming, although it used to be tennis, which she played competitively for a number of years. She also enjoys playing Bridge. In December of 1997, Sonja was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. She underwent pre-surgical chemotherapy, followed by lumpectomy and radiation and has resumed a full, healthy life. Sonja describes herself as courageous, open and fun-loving. In describing her perfect day, Sonja would wake up feeling good and counting her blessings. She would enjoy a cup of coffee while reading the paper before heading out to exercise (walk, bike, swimming or yoga). Afterwards, she would connect with a friend by phone or over lunch before or after performing at a nursing home. At some point in her day, she would discover a new interest, "be there" for someone in need, have a new idea or fix something around the house and find that all the desk work which requires a good deal of her time would miraculously get done by itself.

This paper outlines the various ways Survivor has been able to outwit, outlast, and outplay for twenty-seven seasons. This award-winning American reality competition show tests the physical, mental, emotional, and social limits of anyone who is willing to be “stranded” on a deserted island in order to have the chance to win $1,000,000. As contestants try to adapt to their new island lifestyle, producers try to adapt new ways to keep the audience engaged from season to season. This paper gives readers a detailed history of how the show came to be as well as prediction as to where the show will and will not go in the future.

  • The Law & Economics of Survivor
    The Law & Economics of Survivor Kimberly A. Moore * Maxwell L. Stearns ** I really feel that I earned where I am. The first hour on the island I stepped into my strategy and thought, "I'm going to focus on how to establish an alliance with four people early on." I spent a lot of time thinking about who people are and why they interact the way they do. I wanted this to be planned and I wanted it to be based on what I needed to do to win the game. I don't feel I was diabolical. There were ethics in this game. There was morality and I think that is a big part of why I won.1 Richard Hatch, Survivor winner My advice for anybody who plays this game is form an alliance and stick with it.2 Rudy Boesch, Tagi alliance member In recent years, the ubiquitous body of literature falling under the general header of “rational choice” has come under fire.3 Assaults have mounted across a wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to law,4 psychology,5 and political science.6 Drawing upon economics and experimental psychology, a body of literature has emerged in which legal scholars and economists operationalize formal games under laboratory *Associate Professor, George Mason University School of Law. ©2000 Kimberly A.

  • Flourishing Forties Against Flaming Fifties: Is Reverse Age Discrimination Actionable Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act?
    Saint Louis University Law Journal Manuscript 1802 Flourishing Forties Against Flaming Fifties: Is Reverse Age Discrimination Actionable Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act? Elena Minkin Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/lj Part of the Law Commons SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW FLOURISHING FORTIES AGAINST FLAMING FIFTIES: IS REVERSE AGE DISCRIMINATION ACTIONABLE UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT?1 I. INTRODUCTION On February 5, 2001, twenty-eight-year-old Stacey Stillman, one of the castaways from the popular television series “Survivor,” filed a lawsuit claiming that the producer rigged the show by encouraging other cast members to vote her off the island.2 She further claimed that the producer’s motivation was to ensure that the only senior citizen left on the island—crusty seventy- two-year-old Rudy Boesch—would continue to participate in the show.3 Stillman’s claim was regarded as highly unusual, and it provoked joking commentary in newspapers and on television, as well as a lawsuit directed back at Stillman. It seemed preposterous at the time that a young and attractive woman could be discriminated against in favor of an old man, and have a viable claim. Now, in 2003, this idea does not appear as bizarre. Change the scenario a little: add just twelve years to Stillman’s age, presume there is no restrictive employment contract and that no charges of fraudulent interference with the show are involved—and voila! You now have a cognizable age discrimination claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA),4 at least according to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.5 Specifically, a defendant-employer may now be found liable for reverse age discrimination.
