SVPN and our member real estate agents, contractors, and developers welcome you to issue #7. We have been blown away by the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve received from our readers who are excited to have a monthly magazine that not only celebrates all the reasons to live in and love the Sun Valley area, but also showcases a stunning array of the available real estate here. We’ve heard from our member realtors that some of you have purchased real estate as a result of picking up our magazine. We thank all of you for supporting our endeavor. Our cover shot and our feature story for this month, Sirens of Design, has had us giddy for months now as we’ve been planning this issue. We are excited to introduce you to three strikingly intelligent and talented women who have made a signature mark on the architectural and design world in Sun Valley and beyond. We hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as we did. We are also excited to share with you more from the Sun Valley Arts

Market. We introduce you to a fascinating artist, Jane Maxwell, hosted this month by Gilman Contemporary. Her work, which delves into the way the women are portrayed in the media, is intelligent, relevant, and poignant. We also visit with the owners of Gallery DeNovo as they tell us about their mission—introducing well-established international artists to new American audiences. In the pages of SVPN we like to take time to celebrate the generosity, ingenuity, and talents of those living in our midst. This month we look at the good deeds done by the Sun Valley Adaptive Sports program, Higher Ground. Working with wounded veterans, Higher Ground helps these service men and women adjust to life after the military, introducing them to recreational activities like skiing and snowboarding as one way to cope. Our architectural spotlight this month is the penthouse. If you want the cosmopolitan feel of city living with the bonus of small-town charm, you are in good company, and you will find some promising properties to boot. If you’re looking for a little less high culture and a
lot more rugged adventure, you might be interested in our feature on fly-in/fly-out ranches. We are also excited to launch the SVPN website this month. Check out www.sunvalleypropertynews.com for daily featured properties and more. The feedback we most often hear from our readers is that you love the fact we’re a monthly magazine with interesting and relevant editorial content as well as the most comprehensive real estate gallery available. If you advertise with us, your message is always beautiful, fresh, and relevant. If you are sponsoring one of the amazing cultural, philanthropic, or athletic events that our community is becoming increasingly known for (like the Sun Valley Film Festival that is kicking off its inaugural event March 15), we are committed to providing you with a stylish and smart way to spread the word. And our real estate members are able to bring you the most up-to-date listings in a format that never fails to remind locals and visitors alike what it is we love about Sun Valley.

Western Mountain Resort Alliance
Conference On January 18 and 19, representatives from the Western Mountain Resort Alliance (WMRA) met at the Sun Valley Resort. The WMRA is an organization composed of representatives from destination ski resorts around the Mountain West. Robert Crosby, the Sun Valley Board of Realtors’ Government Affairs Director, addressed issues of local concern such as affordable housing, the vital role the airport plays in the economic stability of the Wood River Valley, and the Ketchum sign ordinance. Russell Riggs, a Senior Regulatory Representative with the National Association of Realtors in Washington, D.C., addressed issues of national concern including a close look at a poll of vacation and investment buyer trends from 2005 – 2010. He noted that 52% of investment buyers and 34% of vacation buyers polled were likely to buy again in the next two years and that 80% of vacation buyers and 77% of investment buyers think it’s a good time to purchase real estate. Wally Huffman concluded presentations with a presentation of the present and future development of Snow Basin, Utah, and finished with a talk about the River Run development and White Cloud projects.

center stage by Ryan Waterfield • photography Hillary Maybery Sun Valley is populated by world-class athletes, artists, thinkers, writers, and doers. But our little hamlet is also populated by people and organizations who work hard to make the world a better place. Because of the work that Sun Valley Adaptive Sports and Higher Ground do, six to eight times a year our valley plays host to men and women who have served our country with honor and commitment. We tip our hats to these organizations and these veterans, wounded warriors who are ready to fight a new battle. (See the full story on page 74.)

While local penthouses tend to be as sophisticated as their urban counterparts, their elevated settings give way to alpine views that are unmistakably Sun Valley.

Lynn and Tom Knudson, 511 Building Lynn Knudson, who lives with her husband Tom on the top floor of Ketchum’s 511 Building, says that penthouse living has allowed them to enjoy the taste of city life that they craved. “We always wanted to live and work in a city,” Lynn says, and because their downtown neighborhood is host to restaurants, retailers, galleries, the grocery store, and the bulk of the town’s activities, they stay connected to Ketchum’s metropolitan side. The mix of commercial and residential spaces is one aspect of penthouse living that was especially appealing to the Knudsons. Before the 511 Building was constructed,
Lynn and Tom were eager to build a place where they could live and work. “We were so excited about that lifestyle,” Lynn explains of their plan to live on the top level of the building that would, at that time, house two of their retail business. This mixed-use concept was relatively new to Ketchum when the Knudsons built in 1990. “The 511 Building is one of the first fully commercial multi-use buildings in the Ketchum core,” Lynn says. Current 511 tenants include Deja Vu, Theodore, The Red Door, Primavera Plant and Flowers, and three salons. Of their penthouse residence itself, Lynn says, “Our home is an eclectic modern art

collector’s dream home,” thanks to an open floor plan with large spaces, inside and out. And as for the quality of life from the top floor, living in the heart of Ketchum’s cultural and social corridor affords the best of all worlds. “Life in the 511 Building in the core of Ketchum is wonderful, scenic, private, and so convenient,” she says.
TOP TO BOTTOM: Twilight on the rooftop—the 511 Building’s expansive outdoor living space; an open floor plan with large spaces makes the Knudson penthouse a “modern art collector’s dream home.”
Betty Swanson, Atrium Building For Betty Swanson and her two children, ages 14 and 16, the transition from a large home in the north valley to a penthouse atop Ketchum’s Atrium building has been a rewarding and fulfilling change. She says that her family finds life in the Ketchum core “invigorating” and that as downtown property owners, they hope to contribute to the town’s vitality. Because the purchase of the penthouse also included two commercial spaces in the Atrium, currently occupied by Rasberry’s restaurant and catering business and Tribes Interiors, they found the property
especially appealing. As Betty explains, the acquisition allows her family to “contribute to keeping the core of our town alive.” While Betty’s wish to add to the success of the Ketchum business core inspired her to purchase a multi-use property, the two tenants—Tribes and Rasberry’s—made the purchase particularly ideal. “I found that two of my favorite businesses in town are part of this building,” she says of the occupants. As well, Fulton Associates Real Estate operates from the first level of the Atrium, rounding out the building’s thriving commercial scene. sunvalleypropertynews.com

In addition to liveliness, Betty names convenience as a major attribute of in-town living. She and her children are now at the center of town’s activities and amenities, and the move from their larger home to the penthouse has freed them from landscaping chores, leaving them more time to “bike and ski on weekends,” she explains. In addition to enjoying Ketchum’s vitality just outside her home, Betty says that the penthouse itself is a wonderful environment, thanks to the views and natural light that top-floor living affords. “The Atrium building has incredible natural light due to its fabulous location on the northwest corner of Leadville and 5th Street, giving it a sunny southwest orientation,” she explains. “The penthouse itself has unending natural light and a stunning west-facing deck with spectacular, unobstructed views of Baldy.” ABOVE: A spacious and well-lit penthouse bathroom.

Some of Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest ranches, big and small, are best reached by air. While Idaho has its share of main highways, it also has more roadless and wilderness areas than any state in the lower 48, so having a private plane and a place to land close to your ranch can be a convenience, or in some cases, a necessity.

Fly-in/fly-out ranches in Idaho run the gamut from the 80acre Wildhorse Creek Ranch at the entrance to Copper Basin, served by the nearby Twin Bridges backcountry airstrip, to the 45 Ranch in the Owyhee Canyonlands, to Joe Clark’s 6,000acre Flying Joseph Ranch in the Pahsimeroi Valley with the longest private runway in the United States (over 8,000 feet). The many backcountry airfields in Idaho like Twin Bridges are chronicled in Fly Idaho by Galen Hanselman of Hailey, who has been a backcountry flier since the ‘80s. Small private fields like the 1,800-foot grass strip at Pat and Karen Simpson’s Little Morgan Creek Ranch in the Pahsimeroi Valley also abound. The Simpsons, who own a Cessna, live in Elkhorn, but spend nine months of the year in their western-style, 64

solar-powered cabin on the ranch. “It’s at least a three-hour drive from Sun Valley when Trail Creek Summit and Double Springs Pass are open,” Pat Simpson notes, “so the plane is an ideal way for us to commute.” Although a variety of aircraft are used by ranch owners, single-engine Cessnas (205, 206, and the 207 model, known as the “sport utility vehicle of the air”) tend to dominate because of their rugged construction, large cabin area, and ability to take off and land on relatively short dirt and grass fields. Another Sun Valley air commuter is Charles Conn, a conservationist who owns the 45 Ranch in the Owyhee Canyonlands, and is working with The Nature Conservancy to restore habitat and protect river resources there. The ranch, which has two dirt airstrips, is five hours away by car, and Conn, who flies a Cessna 206, says the older highwing design is well suited to backcountry flying. Joe Clark of Bellevue, Washington, who seldom drives anywhere, also has a Cessna, not to mention his Lear Jet 24, a fully restored 1955 Navy North American T-28 Trojan, a glider, a helicopter, and a Pilatus PC-6 Porter (a model which holds the world’s record for the highest landing at 18,865
feet on Dhaulagiri in Nepal). All these planes plus ranch trucks easily fit into the large, heated, meticulously maintained hanger that adjoins his house at the Flying Joseph Ranch in the Pahsimeroi Valley (home and hangar built by Poster Construction). For Clark, co-founder of Horizon Air and currently chief executive officer of Aviation Partners Inc., a leader in design, production, and marketing of winglets for private and commercial aircraft which provide dramatic increases in range and fuel efficiency, flying is both a pleasure and a business— as is his working ranch.

These ranches are not a place for amateur pilots, he stresses. Getting in and out of these properties usually involves flying into mountainous terrain and deep canyons. He adds, “You have to put it down on the first approach and get out on the first try. Most of these places don’t offer you the luxury of a fly-around.” While some owners take on the challenge and fly themselves, this is where professional bush pilots are sometimes the best option. Experienced pilots like Pete Nelson at Middle Fork Aviation in Challis, Mike Doris in McCall, or Ray Arnold Aviation in Cascade are available. “Access by air can conveniently put you into some of the best ranches in Idaho,” Burke concludes. “If you’re an experienced pilot, or want to become a pilot, so much the better. But if you’re more comfortable letting somebody else do the flying, that’s also a great option.”

design sirens of
There is a house under construction out East Fork that almost didn’t happen. The original owner started the project with a particular vision and was unable to see it to completion. When he sold the property, what stood was the beginning of a house with some real architectural and engineering problems. The new owners enlisted the help of local architect Gretchen Wagner to help pick up the pieces. They allowed her to assemble a team to salvage the project. First she enlisted the help of structural engineer, Liv (pronounced “Leev”) Jensen, with whom she had worked on several previous projects. Gretchen knew that Liv was up to the task of this complex analysis and says, “Liv has a real talent for thinking on her feet and providing flexible solutions. I was confident she would be able to work through anything we uncovered along the way.” Gretchen had only recently met interior designer Jennifer Hoey Smith, but knew her by reputation as someone with a keen design sense and impeccable documentation skills. She says, “I thought Jennifer’s clean aesthetic would complement the architectural intent, and her holistic approach to the palette would help unify the inherited and new elements of the house.” Working with the talented and experienced team at Dembergh Construction, these design sirens are rescuing a building that had lost its way. Gretchen, Liv, and Jennifer are women working in fields dominated by men, to be sure, but you get a sense that none of them is intimidated by that reality—in fact, they don’t seem to spend much time dwelling on it at all. It’s quite clear that all of these women seek one challenge after another as each has managed to grow her business in the midst of a sustained economic downturn. These women are at the top of their games, and they are making quite an impact in the architectural, engineering, and design worlds. And while they agree that professional success is important to them, it is less important than living life on their own terms.

svpn feature Gretchen Wagner Architect
Gretchen Wagner, a native of Chicago and a graduate of Yale’s School of Architecture, landed in Sun Valley because she married a mountain man. Her husband, Erik Leidecker, grew up in Ketchum and probably deserves some credit for bringing Gretchen’s architectural talents to the area. By the time she moved to the valley permanently in 1998, Gretchen had cut her architectural teeth at seven firms, gleaning experience in everything from commercial interiors to community-based urban planning and custom homes. Deciding to go out on her own in 2005, Gretchen’s plate has been full ever since. In addition to architecure, Gretchen runs marathons, serves as a director on two non-profit boards, and not least, works to raise her own young daughters to be strong, independent, and capable young women.
SVPN: What is your guiding design principle and why? GW: Research meticulously, consider and include everything, then simplify mercilessly. Life is complicated and personal, and as livable art, architecture is necessarily complicated and personal, unlike sculpture. I think starting with an iconic form in mind compromises functionality. If the building works like a fine-tuned machine, then the stripping away of everything superfluous allows the strongest forms to emerge, focuses attention where it matters, and saves the client money. Some of my best work has been the result of an extremely reductive process. I suppose it’s the Occam’s Razor approach to design. SVPN: You designed and built the home
you and your family live in now around 10 years ago. If you were designing your home today, what would you do differently? GW: We really couldn’t afford to build our house when we did, and every decision was
based on what was the least offensive of the cheapest options we could find and build ourselves. We were happy to save $60 by not ordering the ice feature in our refrigerator and didn’t have ice cubes for ten years. I wish I would have taken more design risks and more time to let the design evolve. I actually enjoy rock-bottom budgets as long as there is enough time to work with them. SVPN: What was the stroke of genius in
your current home—the thing you would definitely carry over to your next home? GW: I love the spatial efficiency of our house and the high ceiling in the living room. The windows that wrap around the entire second floor make us feel as if we’re in a tree house. Although our current house is quite small, the next one will be even smaller with entire walls of sliding glass doors opening to the outdoors and my garden. SVPN: Best advice someone ever gave you? GW: It was almost the standard line from
our first-year professors at architecture school: “If there is anything in the world, anything at all, that you would rather pursue over architecture, do it.” This was to weed out the faint of heart from the gauntlet that lay ahead in school and in life. I thought hard about it, but didn’t have a doubt that this was what I wanted to do and consider myself fortunate to have found work that is so fulfilling.
SVPN: What inspires you? GW: Materials in their most raw state
inspire me the most. They are fraught with possibility and unburdened by purpose. SVPN: How do you help a client realize their architectural visions? GW: I used to write architecture features
ARCHITECT
SVPN: What was the first sign that you were going to be an architect? GW: I came from a long line of doctors, and though I was never pushed in that direction, it was always assumed I might go to medical school. When I was almost finished with the pre-med requirements at Dartmouth, my mom offered to send me to an architecture program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design instead of working at my dad’s medical practice for the summer. I, of course, jumped at the chance to live in Cambridge by myself and was hooked on architecture almost immediately. Since Dartmouth had no architecture school, it wasn’t until graduate school at Yale that I finally felt like I was exactly where I wanted to be.
for magazines, so I do a sort of investigative journalism with clients before we even talk about the building. The more I know about them—how they live as opposed to how they aspire to live, their habits, their backgrounds, their things, their goals, their future plans— the better chance I have of giving them what they want. I study the site both in its physical and emotional context, establish every possible parameter and constraint, and begin a dialogue in drawing form. The discussion of the building in the abstract becomes so visceral that the solution begins to suggest itself. Then it becomes a process of distillation to the best possible end. And most of all, I listen. SVPN: What’s your guilty “design pleasure”? GW: I love my blue leather office chairs
from Overstock.com and our Ikea Expedit shelves—we have them everywhere. My ‘mom’ coffee cup—so kitschy and so great.
SVPN: How has architecture in the SV area changed in the time you’ve been practicing? GW: It’s exciting to see the increasing variety of architecture here. The globalization of our culture is exposing everyone to new ideas, and people have a more expansive view of what ‘the West’ can mean. I think clients are more educated, more demanding, and more specific, which ultimately leads to better buildings. SVPN: What was the leap of going into business for yourself like? GW: It was terrifying and freeing at the same time. In 2005 I had a baby and a three-year-old and was taking my licensing exams when the opportunity presented itself. The new owners of the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch, rock-climbing clients of my husband’s, took a huge chance on me and single-handedly gave me enough work and positive endorsements to launch my business. I remember the first time I drove to the Ranch in the fall, taking in the incredible scenery around me, and thinking I had won the absolute job lottery.

Liv Jensen
Structural Engineer
Small in stature but not in personality or talent, Liv Jensen is a force to be reckoned with. A structural engineer who initially moved to Ketchum to live the ski-bum life for a winter, Liv soon learned (because no one would hire her) that she was severely under-qualified for that ski bum right of passage—waiting tables. She took a job with a local engineering firm, arranging it so that she could get a respectable amount of time on the hill, and so began her engineering career. Among many other qualities, an intuitive logic and a measured reasoning contribute to Liv’s success as an engineer. An avid (and accomplished—to hear others tell it as Liv just blushes) runner, the mother of two girls (ages 9 and 11), and a closet artist at heart, Liv considers “a can-do attitude and the ability to be a part of a team” to be essential qualities for a structural engineer.
SVPN: What was the first sign that you
were going to be an engineer? LJ: I don’t think there were early signs that I would be an engineer but I took to math early on. Initially, I was inclined towards art as a child, but I always enjoyed math and did well in it. My kindergarten teacher once divided the class into kids that were ready to learn subtraction and kids who were not ready. I was very upset when I was labeled “not ready” and went home to tell my parents. My dad said subtraction is easy—I can teach you. He taught me that math is logical and that with the right attitude you can break down most problems into something simple and solvable. SVPN: Could you describe—for the uninitiated—exactly what you do? LJ: The architect does the design for how the project looks, how big it is, the floor plans, and the elevations. I provide the instructions and the pieces for building the architect’s design. I design the roof, floor, walls, and foundations to support snow loads, interior loads, wind loads, and earthquake effects. I specify joists, beams, concrete foundations, and design the connections. I also work with the contractor during construction, addressing issues that arise on site. SVPN: What is your favorite thing
about being a structural engineer? LJ: I love being a part of a project, and a part of the team that starts with an idea, puts it on paper, and makes it a reality. 70
sunvalleypropertynews.com
SVPN: Are people surprised that a woman is a structural engineer? LJ: Yes. Engineering is definitely a maledominated field. The Idaho construction business in general is very much male dominated. There are female architects and women who work construction, but they are the minority, especially on the job sites. When I first started going to construction sites it was a little rough. I was right out of school and young—a woman showing up on construction sites with men who had been doing their job their way for decades. They had a hard time taking me seriously for a while. Now I really enjoy being at the construction sites. The contractors around here, by and large, know me and are fantastic to work with. SVPN: What building do you most ad-
mire for its structural engineering and why? LJ: I think I have the most admiration for structures that are beautiful rather than structurally impressive. I like structures that look like they make sense and are sound, while still being elegant and interesting. SVPN: Best advice you ever received? LJ: I don’t know if this is the best advice
someone ever gave me, but it did influence my career path. When contemplating a future career, my first choice would have been an artist, but being very practical, I realized that was not a great idea for me. My second choice was to be an architect. I spoke to a family friend who is an architect
in Seattle. He told me that the job market was flooded with architects, and that residential construction is vulnerable to the fluctuations of the economy. I am not sure if he suggested engineering or if I figured engineering was not so different from architecture and offered more opportunity and stability. SVPN: What has been your career high to date? LJ: My career high is really just being able to do something I enjoy that results in a finished product while living in this valley and working with great people all while— hopefully—still being a decent mom. SVPN: When did you go into business for yourself? What was that leap like for you? LJ: I think it was in 2005. It was a hard decision. I was working for Ruscitto/ Latham/Blanton Architecture at the time. I really enjoyed working there. I worked under their in-staff engineer, Scott Heiner, whom I have a lot of respect for and liked working with. I decided to go into business for myself mostly in order to have more control over my schedule. SVPN: Why the Sun Valley area? How did you end up here? LJ: I came here after I graduated from the University of Washington. I just wanted to ski for a few months before I got a real job. I applied everywhere to be a waitress and no one would hire me— no experience. I ended up with a great part-time job at an engineering firm. From there it is the same old story—how could I leave this place?

svpn feature Jennifer Hoey Smith Interior Design
Nationally-licensed interior designer Jennifer Hoey Smith grew up around the construction trades. Her father owns a custom cabinetry business in Florida where she worked when she was in design school, so it’s no wonder she developed a fascination for the planning and designing process. And since apples don’t fall too far from the tree, Jennifer specializes in custom cabinet design. But make no mistake, with Jennifer, it’s not just fabulous cabinets or kitchens—it’s the whole she-bang. Her interiors welcome with a clean elegance, and her portfolio demonstrates a versatility that allows her to respond to her clients’ lifestyles and tastes. For Jen, “The harmony of good interior design is in the details.” Also the mother of two young daughters, Jen lives with her family in a 700-square-foot Ketchum home that she and her husband Cory restored, turning it from a 400-square-foot lean-to in shambles to a study in the judicious and elegant use of space. SVPN: What was the first sign that you were going to be an interior designer? JHS: I have always loved to draw and have long been interested in art and creative fields. My father owns a successful custom cabinet firm in Florida, and I was interested in joining the family business. Ultimately, that’s what launched me in to pursuing interior design and obtaining my degree. SVPN: What is your guiding design principle and why? JHS: Consider each project holistically. Whether it is conceptual design, specifications, or furnishings, I consider how every element selected will unify the design and functional aspects of a room or a house. SVPN: What is your aesthetic? JHS: I’m a natural minimalist. I love
clean, uncluttered, and well-planned spaces. I have a modern eye, but I believe that a juxtaposition of old and new animates a space. I love a touch of the unexpected.
SVPN: What is your favorite room to design and why? JHS: I would say kitchens because they have the most components to integrate both functionally and creatively. Often my clients spend the majority of their time there as well. SVPN: What design magazines do you
love?
JHS: Elle Décor, House Beautiful. I also frequently peruse Remodelista (blog) for inspiration and new products or accessories.
SVPN: Where do you get your inspiration? JHS: Travel, clients, and design maga-
zines. Sometimes a simple form or texture will inspire anything from an entire room design to a cabinet detail. I love many different styles, so working with a variety of clients makes being an interior designer really fun. My portfolio shows my clean aesthetic, but it’s expressed in different styles that are a pure reflection of my clients.
SVPN: Could you describe your “process”? How do you help clients realize their interior vision? JHS: The first aspect is to understand who the client is and how they live. Then I ask them to show me a variety of things that they like, ranging from an entire home to a specific product. Once I understand more about them and their aesthetic, it’s easy to mentally sort through all of my resources to show them a selection of fixtures, finishes, or furnishings that they will love. SVPN: What’s your guilty “design pleasure”? JHS: Unfortunately, I love expensive
things—antiques, original art, unique finds. Some of the most cherished pieces that I’ve acquired over the years are old. These favorites include: my French antique dining table that I surround with Starck Ghost chairs; a collection of vintage mirrors in various shapes that I use over a bathroom vanity; and my most recent acquisition is a collection of 12 tiny antique roe deer antlers that I am using in rows of four mounted above my desk in the studio. It’s easy to add and
change contemporary elements to balance it out, but it’s the older pieces that add the depth. SVPN: What has been your career high so far? JHS: I have loved cultivating relationships with architects, builders, and clients who appreciate the technical skills I contribute to a project. It’s often a preconceived notion that an “interior designer” is someone who furnishes your home. While that’s part of it, a licensed interior designer offers so much more in the way of construction documents (CAD drawings and specifications) which make the project more efficient, cost-effective, functional, and ultimately beautiful. SVPN: What are your career aspirations? Your “Dream Big” ideas? JHS: I have a great team behind me and that allows me focus on what I love most—the creative. I hope to grow the business to a new level of recognition where I could support a larger staff and create more jobs for the valley. At that point, my daughters would be a little more grown up, and I could take more inspirational trips abroad to scout new products and continue to keep it fresh for my clients. SVPN: Why Sun Valley/Ketchum? JHS: I met my husband, Cory
(employed by Smith Optics), on a snowboard vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado, and I was ready for a change. I moved to the valley eight years ago after going to Aspen for one summer. I can’t think of a better place to raise our girls and pursue my career in a mountain setting.

WOMEN
warriors
find higher ground By Ryan Waterfield • Photography Stephanie Freid Perenchio
I sit at a dinner table in the candlelit wine cellar of a beautiful Sun Valley home. Here in this catacomb, the noise of the world seems far away. I am surrounded by eight wounded veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom who, with noticeable reserve, serve up small parts of their devastating stories. They don’t, however, tell the sorts of stories that sell war films or fill the pages of war books. Rather, they share little pieces of themselves, fragments that they have had to collect and piece together in the years since they were wounded in war and discharged from service. The question that looms large is what comes after life in the military? ABOVE: The participants from this year’s winter sports camp for women veterans take a break on the top of Bald Mountain.

These wounded warriors don’t look like you’d expect. There are no jarhead haircuts or fatigues. There are no missing limbs or prostheses. These warriors are women and they bear the invisible wounds of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injuries (TBI), or military sexual trauma (MST). Sun Valley, with its two grocery stores, handful of stop lights, and throngs of Icebreaker-wearing mountain junkies, sits a world away from the noise of war. But for the eight women sitting in this beautiful wine cellar, the noise of war is never very far away. They were all called to service in some unique way, and each woman has an origin story of sorts—the origin of the warrior within. But they are here in Sun Valley to confront the end of that story, an end none of them would have chosen. The Sun Valley Adaptive Sports (SVAS) program Higher Ground (HG) offers six to eight camps a year for wounded veter-
ans. The camps are small and intimate with six to eight veterans per camp. Specializing in working with veterans affected by TBI, PTSD, MST, or visual impairments, Higher Ground focuses on helping veterans reintegrate to life outside the military. Sun Valley Adaptive Sports Executive Director Erin Rheinschild says, “Higher Ground is a life-line for many veterans around the country. They often come to us without the tools to cope with their new realities. We wrap these coping strategies in a recreational package so they have fun while they start to heal.” Sun Valley Adaptive Sports and Higher Ground fully fund the expenses of the trip for both the veteran and a spouse or support partner. A five-day camp including lodging, meals, transportation, all of the scheduled activities, and staff costs runs around $100,000. Because Higher Ground receives no federal funding, the money to support these programs comes
solely from donors. During the winter sports camps, the participants spend time on Dollar and Baldy skiing or snowboarding or Nordic skiing on the Sun Valley trails. These activities are a part of Higher Ground’s highly effective therapeutic approach. In an effort to address the question of what comes after life in the military, Higher Ground offers a “Reintegration Fund” that helps veterans pursue activities that spark their passions or curiosities. Often those activities are skiing or snowboarding, the activities that they learn during their

week in Sun Valley. If a veteran needs equipment or help paying for the activity, Higher Ground provides that. If a veteran needs a bike adapted to his or her needs or injuries, Higher Ground will make it happen. One of the recreational therapists working at the camp says Higher Ground’s approach is bolstered by research that proves the connection between recreation and physical and emotional healing. She says, “Higher Ground’s commitment to the veterans’ recreational needs is part of a larger commitment to the healing process for each veteran.”
Higher Ground also offers an Emergency Fund that can cover any number of difficulties facing veterans as they reintegrate into civilian life. The organization has paid rent/mortgage for veterans who couldn’t make payments and for sessions with a marriage counselor in a few cases as the stresses of living with TBI and PTSD can wear the bonds of a marriage thread bare. The program has paid for childcare so that a parent can find work or participate in some of the stress-relieving recreational activities she may have discovered during her time in Sun Valley. Many things distinguish Higher Ground from other sports programs for wounded veterans, but two significant points make the top of my list: their industry-leading three-year follow up and their therapeutic focus.

fun. But they are also about connecting with other veterans who may be struggling with the same issues as they re-enter civilian life. The four full-time recreational therapists who run the program ensure that each activity offers a therapeutic element so that the veterans learn to recognize the tools they have to fight the everyday battles they face in their post-military lives. When the Higher Ground therapists kick off the camp, they ask the veterans and their supporters what they expect and what they want from the week. The overwhelming chorus is, “I want to be with other people who get it.” Higher Ground therapists punctuate the week with a presentation. They explain that the eight women, who came from all over the country and served in different branches of the military, are now in a new unit, their Higher Ground unit. They hand out ski jackets with a Higher Ground patch on the right shoulder and a unit number. There’s another patch on the other arm, and this patch speaks a language that these veterans understand. They notice the forward-facing flag on the left shoulder and they understand this depicts the flag as it flies into battle. One of the vets leans forward

and admits to the group, “Every day is a battle, isn’t it?” The employees and volunteers at Higher Ground offer an environment where none of these veterans is a victim; rather, at Higher Ground, they are still warriors. They may be fighting on a different front, but they are warriors nonetheless. And if there’s one thing that will help these warriors get out of bed in the morning, it’s to face the battle ahead. As each woman puts on her new jacket, there’s a distinct shift in the air. They begin to trust that they might have found some “people who get it.”

OCHI GALLERY
On February 17, 2012, Erin Rachel Hudak will install a variation of her piece Love You Forever in Sun Valley, Idaho. Originally installed under the Brooklyn Bridge, Love You Forever was made of silver and gold mylar balloons floating just off of the Brooklyn waterfront and acted as an adoring public service announcement to New York. The installation in Idaho will mimic balloons but be fashioned out of fabric. Set in the Festival Meadows, across from Sun Valley’s iconic red barn, Hudak’s message of everlasting (if ironically temporary) adulation will be lastingly moving. Hudak was born in Stow, Ohio in 1978. She attended Allegheny College to study art and literature and received her B.F.A from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Hudak has exhibited her work nationally and internationally. Her artwork has recently been shown at Women Made Gallery in Chicago, ArtHamptons, and featured in Vogue Girl Korea, Art+Culture.com, and written up in The Village Voice, and The Brooklyn Eagle.
EXPRESSIONS GALLERY presents sculptor Dave McGary’s latest masterwork Battle At Bear Paw depicting Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce. This sculpture was inspired by the relationship between Chief Joseph and Chief Washakie. Unique to this piece is Chief Joseph’s war coat that was worn during the battle and ultimately ended up in the permanent collection of the West Point Military Academy. www.expressionsgalleries.com 208.928.7728 FREDERIC BOLOIX FINE ART presents a special selection of paintings and works on paper by Modern and Contemporary Masters, celebrating the gallery’s 10th year in Ketchum. www.boloix.com 208.726.8810 FRIESEN GALLERY will celebrate a stunning showcase of works by major glass artist Ginny Ruffner. This exhibition is in tandem with the Idaho premiere at the Sun Valley Film Festival of the Ruffner documentary A Not So Still Life.

EXHIBITIONS GILMAN CONTEMPORARY presents Coming and Going with works by Jane Maxwell. Jane’s work centers around the fact that the “ideal woman” presented in the media is an image most women cannot live up to. Using Hollywood ephemera, old advertisements, and relevant text as the backdrop for her women, the work is playful and poignant. www.gilmancontemporary.com 208.726.7585
KNEELAND GALLERY presents Elegant Expressions, a three-person exhibition featuring new work from Andrzej Skorut (contemplative landscapes with elements of formalism through a contemporary eye), Bart Walker (plein-air paintings inspired by the backcountry), and Douglas Aagard (textured paintings of Utah scenery).

“Over the years, we have followed the international roster of artists DeNovo carries; we are also proud owners of works by Davis Freeman and Andrew Lui. Recently, I had the privilege of viewing the works of Agusti Puig and Cynthia Fusillo. I am fascinated by the work of both of these artists, as they both have a gritty, tactile, and physical presence that resonates with my interest in the process of art and architecture.” — Architect Susan Desko
Cynthia Fusillo
Soon after the gallery opened, Robin and Michael discovered artist Cynthia Fusillo. “We liked her unique connection to nature and plants, and her technique was like nothing we had seen before,” says Robin. Upon meeting Cynthia in Barcelona, they learned that she was a single mother having a difficult time making ends meet and was considering putting off her art career temporarily. Afraid to see an artist of Cynthia’s caliber give up on her art, Robin and Michael provided her with a guaranteed yearly salary in exchange for providing works to the gallery— an unusual arrangement for the modern art world. This support not only helped Cynthia continue her career, it also helped give her the opportunity to travel to Africa in 2005, a trip which inspired some of her most creative and alluring works. “She was very inspired by the women and their connection to nature,” explains Robin. “Even though she had not been a figurative artist, she started a new type of work featuring life-size female figures made of dirt, sand, flower petals, stitching, burning, and other natural materials.” Her integration of found

Gallery DeNovo represents Agusti Puig, a well known Spanish artist who has had successful shows in London and Japan, and will exhibit in Korea later this year. “We initially heard about Agusti’s work from our Spanish sculptor Marta Moreu,” says Robin. “She raved about his success in Spain and told us of his powerful and unique works.” Later that year while visiting Barcelona, Marta accompanied them on a studio visit with Agusti in the town of Sabadell, where his studio occupies an old textile mill with 30-foot ceilings and paint-encrusted floors. Robin reports of that first meeting, “Agusti welcomed us and in translated English told us that over 100 of his paintings were not in his studio for some secret reason and he could not tell us why. We thought that was quite odd, and were not sure if there was a language translation problem or a misunderstanding. But we loved what we were able to see and scheduled a show for December of 2007.” As it turned out, Agusti had just delivered truckloads of paintings to the movie set of Vicky Christina Barcelona, Woody Allen’s movie about a painter (Javier Bardem) and his artist wife (Penelope Cruz). Agusti’s work was featured throughout the movie, and Agusti had the great privilege of “teaching” Javier and Penelope how to act like they were painting in his style. The debut show proved to be one of the gallery’s most successful with the sale of over 50 works. Today Gallery DeNovo has exhibited three solo shows with Agusti’s work while also featuring his work at several prestigious art fairs throughout the United States and Canada.

Gallery DeNovo has embraced the 21st century with a new look and new exhibition ideas to continue its cutting-edge international art appeal. Installing video art is a natural progression for Gallery DeNovo to keep its edge and remain attractive in the contemporary art world. Video offers their artists another avenue to showcase new work and provides the ability to feature additional artists’ works in the main floor gallery along with a solo exhibition. It also provides an artist the ability to take part in a talk with an audience at the gallery via an internet connection without having schedule challenges or the added expense of transcontinental travel. The influence of a trip to the Venice Biennale a few years ago stuck with Michael and Robin. They were impressed by how much video was a

part of so many of the exhibitions. “I remember an exhibition by French artist Sophie Calle,” reveals Robin. “It was one of our favorite exhibitions at the Biennale, a wonderful combination of video interviews, letters, photography and a unique soundtrack. It was unforgettable.” Offering video art exhibitions is not completely uncommon for museums or large-scale galleries, and because artists are continuously pushing the boundaries with new media it makes sense. “The whole thing came to me in a dream; I had a vision of a different configuration for the gallery. One that makes much better use of our space and also provides a video screen for marketing more work and focusing on a new market—video and digital art sales for the average home owner. And it continues to keep us fresh and inventive,” states Robin.

“As the gallery name suggests, Robin has brought a fresh perspective to the Ketchum/Sun Valley art scene. We have particularly enjoyed being introduced to European artists not normally seen here in the US.“
objects added a layer of meaning to her pieces that collectors responded to. Robin adds, “The first time we presented Cynthia’s new work, clients commented that it was one of the most beautiful installations the gallery has shown. To tie the installation together she created encaustic butterflies that carried your eye throughout the gallery, and she tacked to the wall poetry she had written and that had influenced her.” Cynthia’s career is now progressing nicely, with additional representation by a Toronto gallery and a very prestigious Barcelona gallery, while also continuing to exhibit at major international art fairs.

Jane Maxwell on the Female Image and The Battle Within by Sabina Dana Plasse
Collage and mixed media artist Jane Maxwell resides in Boston, Massachusetts. At 47 she is a wife and mother of three who works from her home studio as a full-time artist. Jane will make her first visit to Ketchum, Idaho, for her new exhibition at Gilman Contemporary on display February 29-April 30. She will be present for the Gallery Walk on Friday, March 9. Jane’s focus on women, body image, and the feminine ideal has been the result of a struggle with her own self-image, a struggle with which most women can identify. She plays with the complexity of self-image using layer upon layer of paper, color, wax texture, and text in her paintings. At the center of it all, Jane illustrates her message through a sensual and multi-layered interpretation of the female figure, usually a silhouette or outline—a juxtaposition of object versus subject. Jane has been included in the 30th anniversary edition of Who’s Who in American Art and has been a guest lecturer on body image and art at Wellesley College, Stonehill College, and

art interview Q A
Q A
92
What led you to create female-centric art? I enjoyed Women’s Studies in college, and I am a ferocious reader of women’s literature and books about body image—my favorite is Bodies by Susie Orbach. I am really interested in the ways that the media and our society put pressure on women to be thin and beautiful. I have always had a personal struggle with my own body image—I have put a lot of energy into striving for that feminine ideal that I think a lot of women strive for. The ideal is much more front and center than I wish it were. The ideal woman portrayed in the media is an image most women cannot live up to. There are shelves and shelves of books and magazines about women and their bodies and weight loss. And then there are those more feminist writings that focus on the complete woman—what’s inside versus what’s outside. These two sides of women are locked in constant struggle.
Jane Maxwell at work in her Boston studio.
posters also have an amazing text and imagery. I then construct my “top” layer—often using a complex configuration of circles and grids. Then I select my “template”—the girl that will be featured in the piece. The templates come from the runways and the red carpet. I print them and blow them up as an outline for the template. Then I use an X-ACTO knife and pull back the layers. This is my favorite part. It’s a real excavation process—I’m never quite sure what I’m going to unearth. Then I build the surfaces back up and fill in the silhouettes. I use hot melted beeswax (which looks like sugar before it’s melted) to create translucent layers with the papers.
How does this struggle take shape in your work? I like to take images of women who represent the ideal in our culture—runway models or red carpet regulars—and deconstruct them. I take away the faces, remove the airbrushing, and change their clothes. I hope the viewer will look beyond the ideal and consider a different reality. There is a palpable ambivalence to the woman on the canvas; she wants to be the woman in the magazine or on the runway, but she is also resentful. She’s both beautiful and rebellious—trim but strong. I like to think that the women in my work are aspirational and realistic at the same time. I hope this tension opens a dialogue. I am disappointed at how little dialogue there is about the pressure on women to embody that ideal. Oprah and other influential women don’t talk about the struggle as much as they should. Suzie Orbach talks about it. At the end of the day, I like to create work that is interesting to look at and provokes thought on many levels—from the subject matter to the materials and complex layering.
Q
Do you have a process to creating your work?
A
I paint with paper. My pieces begin with a wood box or wood canvas. It’s a hollow box, and I usually start by building up to five or six layers of vintage papers. I have an enormous collection of vintage posters— they are my paper of choice at the moment. I use both the “color” side and the backside, which has a beautiful aged patina. These
sunvalleypropertynews.com
Q A
Are metaphors present in your work? The work does have metaphor. I use a lot of circles, which can be interpreted as scales, mirrors, or even flashbulbs from the runway. I am also interested in the concept of neat versus messy. On a literal level, I take a woman who is all neat and clean and airbrushed and mess her up a bit. I’m trying to get below the surface of her external beauty. And, as we all know, when you scratch the surface, there is a lot of complexity and mess. My use of vintage papers that have been ripped and aged underscores this message. I also think it’s interesting to think of the notion of woman as “object” versus “subject.” The women in my paintings start out as objects of beauty and perfection and become more of a subject for scrutiny and ambivalance. It is a journey for me, but I always want to create something beautiful.
Q A
Q A
What are some of your personal career highlights for you? I wanted to be in a gallery on Newbury Street in Boston by 40, and I accomplished it. Then I had a solo show in New York City, which was a dream come true. And working with Gilman Contemporary has been amazing. I found art as a late-stage career at the age of 30 when I left a job in public relations and took an art class. I have always loved vintage items and fashion, and I am a collector of old paper. It’s all about paper, wax, and found materials to build this kind of mixed media art. Do you have a room of your own? I do have a room of my own. I work in a studio in my house. It’s my safe haven! I have outgrown it in many ways—mostly because of space constraints—but it works well with my life right now. My kids can come down and do their homework while I work.

A definite theme resounds with the two design businesses that we profile this month. A walk through their doors takes you on a journey to distant lands and cultures; their showrooms are filled with artifacts, furnishings, and accessories that do more than look great—they tell stories.

Perusing the showroom at Tribes Interiors you’re met with a bold, eclectic mix of product lines. Simple, contemporary forms mix with classically ornate pieces and exotic artifacts from Africa, South America, and Indonesia for a harmony of different styles. From its own workshop, Tribes’ craftsmen design and build quality furniture to clients’ custom specifications.
“With our own custom manufacturing and vast design resources, I feel like we are the perfect destination for designers, architects, and the public alike. We work closely to complete projects with the most fashionable, functional, and personal outcomes possible. Our portfolio has grown to something we are truly proud of.”

“You have to go far afield to get authentic goods. In addition to the Turkman Weaving Project started 25 years ago, we have worldwide sources we’ve nurtured for more 30 years. People are tiring of mass production and searching for real. And as the world evolves, we may lose these amazing artisans and their longstanding indigenous traditions forever.”
Davies-Reid’s world-class collection of rugs, textiles, wood, and accessories spans four floors. Stairs lead to doorways that open like catacombs, revealing even more treasures— some ancient, some new. Self-described hippies, the Reids clearly live their work. Trips to India, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Pakistan are punctuated by ducking into razed buildings to rescue the amazing carved doors and pillars that line the rug- and artifact-laden showroom.

Farasha began as a pop-up boutique to bring global designs to people and communities at a time when many boutiques were closing their doors. While owner Vanessa Di Palma Wright still travels to niche demographic areas (think Park City for Sundance) for pop-up stores, Sun Valley has become a permanent home and incubator space for more than 40 designers offering one-of-a-kind collections. susunvalleypropertynews.com

Housed in etchum’s oldest building, the etchum Grill has been the local’s favorite for over twenty years. Founding owners and uropean trained chefs, cott and nne Mason, saw a need for a restaurant that created food for special occasions but was priced for everyday dining. hat niche they filled has made them a “must eat at” destination for diners since 1991. “We focus on homemade food, sourced from local farmers and ranchers whenever possible. We strive for simply-handled food, that is creative yet comforting.” says cott. hey have steaks—really really good steaks cooked on an applewood grill—but they offer so much more including fresh fish, homemade breads, desserts, pastas and soups. highly-researched and orthwest-weighted wine list is just one of the etchum Grill’s many strong points. he Masons’ daughters are ambassadors for the younger tastes that have made the Grill a valley favorite for all these years.

Rocking Ranch This building lot in North West Ketchum on Bear Lane is just under an acre.

Fishing is only about 100 yards away via adjacent access trail, and Hemingway School and Park are not much further. Exceptional homes form the neighborhood in this uniquely hidden enclave. This is a rare property. MLS # 10-307061 $1,625,000

liability findings and passenger demand analysis—and ask the FAA for input regarding the way forward. It is clear that there are two courses of action that need to be pursued concurrently. The airport will likely move—we don’t know when, we don’t know exactly where, and we don’t know how much it will cost or how it will be funded, but the overwhelming chorus of the FMAA members was to eventually move the airport. Given that this new airport is likely 20 to 30 years and hundreds of millions of dollars from being a reality, the second course of action is urgent. While we figure out how to site, fund, and construct that replacement airport somewhere south of Bellevue, we need to make significant improvements to the airport we have now. The FMAA will ask the FAA for direction in how to go about improving Friedman and how to move forward with the replacement airport. The FMAA will seek approval from the FAA to initiate an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) that will address the design deficiencies and to do the engineering to improve the reliability. The FMAA has assured the community that “no shovel will break ground before the community Sometimes the democratic process can feel like a never-ending version of has weighed in on those scenarios.” It is the movie Groundhog Day. And that is true for the discussions about the possible that some of those scenarios will future of Friedman Memorial Airport (FMA).

alphabet soup numbers (52,611 for 2011) back to where they were in 2003 (76,966) or beyond that number. The improvements to FMA are essential to making this happen. We’re going to need to live with this current airport for the next 20 to 30 years, so we need to be ready to make the necessary improvements not only to protect commercial air service but also to ensure improved commercial air service. Our community has been asking for a clear plan of action regarding the airport. After many community meetings and much input from the stakeholders, the FMAA is positioned to move forward. There will be more meetings and the process will again be long and complicated, as the democratic process tends to be. As a community, we need leadership to see how the replacement airport could be a reality in the long term while we, in the short term, take the necessary actions to improve the current airport. At SVPN we look at it this way— both ways forward (improvements to Friedman and the eventual construction of the replacement airport) could bring jobs to the valley. It is our hope that local leaders will consider the immediate impact improvements at Friedman could have on the economic well-being of the local labor force— engineers, contractors, construction workers, and more. Beyond the stimulus that this work on Friedman could be for our economy, consider the benefit of more enplanements—more visitors, more dollars spent in our hotels, restaurants, and shops. This is a trickle-down situation that benefits all of us.
If you’re following the airport debate, you might have noticed a certain tendency toward the acronym. We thought you might want a glossary to help you understand some of the letters being thrown around in this discussion. EIS: An Environmental Impact Study. A necessary step in siting, designing, and building a replacement airport. ALP: Airport Layout Plan. There could be “inside the fence” and “outside the fence” possibilities. The FMAA will hold meetings to hear public comment on possible options before any decisions are made. RJs: Regional Jets with more capacity than the 30-passenger turboprop Brasilia EMB 120 that currently serves the area. There are many models with different passenger capacities. The model with the potential to serve Sun Valley in the near future is the CRJ700, which holds up to 70 passengers. Many hope that regional jets could serve the valley with direct flights from markets like Denver or San Francisco, resulting in more enplanements and more dollars in our local economy.
NAVAID: Navigational Aid Includes anything that helps with air navigation (approach lights, PAPIs, ground-based navigational equipment, satellite-based technology, etc.) NextGen: Next Generation Technology, the FAA’s comprehensive, long-term plan to modernize today’s radar-based air traffic control system. RNAV: Area Navigation System of navigation that allows for multiple courses within a system of NAVAIDs Uses ground- and satellite-based NAVAIDs. RNP: Required Navigation Performance Similar to RNAV, but requires on-board performance monitoring and alerting. Requires special crew training and equipment. At their most precise, RNPs allow aircraft to fly curved, three-dimensional flight paths.
MRGs: Minimum Revenue Guarantees Airlines offering non-stop service from major markets typically require Minimum Revenue Guarantees to fly into small destinations like Sun Valley because of the seasonality of demand. For years Sun Valley Company has had an MRG contract with Alaska Airlines for the daily non-stop service from both Seattle and Los Angeles during our summer and winter seasons, which is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Certainly it has served their purposes to do so, but as a community, we cannot expect Sun Valley Company to do this in perpetuity. In fact, in most other resorts with airline MRG programs in place, the ski company and the community share the economic responsibility. Eric Seder, President of the non-profit Fly Sun Valley Alliance, which works with Sun Valley Company and the airlines to oversee the MRG contracts and to raise additional funding for MRGs as part of its work to maintain and improve air service to the Sun Valley area, says, “We are currently pursuing new non-stop service from a couple of key markets, but it will mean additional MRGs which could easily increase total financial commitments by a significant margin. Therefore business leaders and the community in general need to work together to develop a sustainable funding source for MRGs and the marketing of our air service for our future.”

At SVPN we are excited to introduce you to Robert Crosby, Government Affairs Director for the Sun Valley Board of Realtors. Crosby certainly has his finger on the pulse of the area property market and the local, statewide, and national issues that impact our local market. We are encouraged to hear Crosby praising innovation in marketing and consumer relations because (cue the shameless pat on our own back) our business model at SVPN embodies that type of innovation. Not only does our membership at SVPN represent a large share of the market transactions, but our newly launched website has far-reaching marketing potential. Be sure to check out our new website at www.sunvalleypropertynews.com.
Q & A with
Robert Crosby
Government affairs director, SUn valley board of realtors
Robert Crosby, a ten-year resident of the Sun Valley area, has served as the Sun Valley Board of Realtors’ Government Affairs Director (GAD) since December 2007. Charged with enacting the Board of Realtors’ government affairs strategic plan, the guiding principles of which focus on enhancing the economic vitality of Blaine County, Robert has a deep understanding of the issues and opportunities that are present here. Before signing on as GAD for the Sun Valley Board of Realtors, Robert had a long and successful career in commercial real estate in San Francisco and the Sun Valley area. When he’s not attending public hearings or keeping member real estate agents abreast of pressing issues, you might find Robert fly fishing, skiing, playing or coaching hockey, or generally enjoying life in Sun Valley with his family.

For the portion of our marketplace less impacted by foreclosure concerns, we have had to become even more innovative marketers in order to reach a larger number of potential buyers with our clients’ offerings. We have instituted creative marketing techniques that include improved and farreaching use of the Internet and extensive use of social media opportunities. In addition, our members have become specialists in the areas of interest to our customers, such as in resort and second-home and/ or green building marketing. We have also introduced new sales techniques such as auctions to create buyer interest in certain assets, a technique that has been used successfully in the Sun Valley area to sell two major assets in the past year.

Our business community must quickly come to terms with the idea of supporting expansion of air service to new markets through participation in funding minimum revenue guarantees that are used extensively by most of our competing resort areas to attract vital air service to their areas.

SVPN: Why have you chosen Sun Val-
ley as your home for you and your family? What’s your favorite thing about the area? RC: We’ve always believed that, if you can, you should live in a place that inspires you rather than just visiting there on vacation. Sun Valley offered the perfect hybrid of small-town living with all of the advantages it provides for raising two active boys, combined with many of the great amenities that we were used to from San Francisco (our former home), except that here, they are literally right outside our door. My favorite thing about the Sun Valley area is the sense of community. In the ten years we have lived here we have made incredible friendships with people from all over the valley. When you need them, those people surround you with caring support on a level that is beyond imagination. I also really like being 10 steps from fantastic year-round fishing, and 10 minutes from both the hockey rink and one of the best world-class ski hills on the continent.

market outlook
water cooler
We have some good news to report about the local property market this month. Our members report some positive signs of life including multiple offers, high-end construction projects, and more.
Deborah Sievers of Coldwell Banker suggests that the multiple offers are due to many factors. She says, “Many sellers are getting realistic about pricing. And I think buyers are realizing that if they don’t act on a great-priced property, they are going to lose out. This is exactly what we need to start seeing the market turn around. A multiple offer says it all. Buyers come out to play bigtime when the properties are good properties and priced right.”
Dick Fenton of McCann, Daech, Fenton points out that “there have been a couple of recent sales that are encouraging: $6.3 million (list price) home on Fairways, $4.95 million Thunder Springs penthouse, $3.15 million downtown townhouse, and $2.295 million White Cloud townhome.”
Tom Drougas of Sun Valley Real Estate says that “the high-end construction projects on custom homes in high-end neighborhoods show that if buyers can’t find what they want in the existing inventory, they will build it—even if homes may be available at less than replacement costs.”

RIVER RUN DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
From Wally Huffman
“The hotel project at River Run won’t get going until we have an airport solution. The insecurity that the airport debate breeds, combined with the fact that financing is hard to find right now has certainly put a hold on our River Run plans. This pause in development has allowed members of the Holding Group to take a hard look at our development plans for the resort properties. Initially we decided that we would develop River Run and establish a branded hotel there, but with this delay, we are rethinking that. The more we look at the Sun Valley Village, the more we consider the infrastructure already existing there, and the more attractive further development in the Sun Valley Village seems.”

Sue Englemann of Sotheby’s offers, “I have had a huge number of calls from long-time visitors who are thinking that after years of coming here to visit, now might be the time to buy. They are combing the Sun Valley inventory looking for the perfect deal. What seems to be a common element is that some are losing perspective as they are ‘blinded by the steal’ and losing sight of the other elements that factor into a prudent real estate investment. What happened to location, location, location? My advice to buyers is to stay focused on the important attributes of the property and don’t expect all sellers to sell at 50% or more off their asking price. Some will, but others would rather hold on to what they have as their attachment goes back to why they bought it in the first place. I am encouraged every time I see quality inventory go pending. As these properties disappear from the ranks, we are not necessarily seeing them be replaced by newer/cheaper/better.”
By the Numbers
Active listings on the market are 1422. This time last year there were 1550 on the market. The absorption rate has increased dramatically. This time last year we were showing 97 months of inventory. This year we only have 31 months of inventory at our current absorption.

Around the
spotlight on Focus on the Sun Valley Film Festival
magic valley to premiere by Sabina Dana Plasse

The power of film is inherent in the story and the vision of a producer, director, writer, and almost any artist who is involved in the filmmaking process. Independent film is some-
times not as accessible as many of the bigbudget films the general public will view, yet it too can be very powerful and, when brought to a community as part of a festival, is often an exhilarating experience. The Sun Valley Film Festival will launch on March 15, 2012 with three days of films that promise to delight, disturb, and provoke a plethora of thoughts and reactions. Documentaries, features, shorts, television programming, web series, and children’s programming will be screened at the Sun Valley Opera House and the Magic Lantern Cinemas in Ketchum for this inaugural event. Filmmakers from around the U.S. will descend upon Sun Valley to enjoy a diverse slate of films—many made in Idaho and several from around the world. One film in particular has roots in Idaho and will make its debut at this year’s festival. The film’s director, Jaffe Zinn, grew up in Buhl, which is the location for his breakout independent feature, Magic Valley. “Lots of people in Idaho love to discover films,” he says. Jaffe, a New York University film school graduate, has been directing his own films for years in Idaho, drawing from the vast landscape and personalities that make the state a unique place for filmmaking. “I find inspiration from real events,” he reveals when asked about his creative process. “I knew that I wanted to make a film about the area where I grew up because a lot of films about small towns are not realistic. I see film as an art form. I think much of American cinema is not viewed as such and it’s more about business. It is an uphill battle to make these kinds of films. Critically, Magic Valley has done very well.” Stories about real people are what separate independent cinema from blockbuster Hollywood pictures. It’s what attracted Scott Glenn, actor and Sun Valley resident of 32 years, to take the lead role in Magic Valley

while on break from the filming of a multimillion dollar feature, Sucker Punch. Scott applauds Magic Valley’s producer Heather Rae as one of the best independent film producers in Idaho, which is why he ultimately decided to star in the film. “I was sent the script and loved it,” he recalls. “But I had a commitment to another film, so I passed.” Heather would not take no for answer though, and after some creative producing skills, she finally succeeded in getting Scott involved. “Independent films are the most gratifying films to work on,” says Scott. “My work in Magic Valley was influenced and inspired by living in Idaho.” In the seven years Heather lived in Boise she produced nine movies, one of which was nominated for an Academy Award—Frozen River. When Jaffe approached her about Magic Valley, originally titled Buhl, Idaho, she knew it was going to be an interesting project. “The cultural personality of the film is somewhat disconnected, which is one of the themes of the movie,” she says. “It’s a theme
that is pandemic in our society.” Heather has a great deal of enthusiasm for Jaffe as a filmmaker, whom she knew from his prolific short films. As an Idaho native, Heather also realized a film such as Magic Valley was a story they needed to tell to everyone. “As an independent filmmaker you are out peddling your wares,” adds Heather. “You need to get people’s attention. It’s difficult. I have worked on many movies, and I am proud of my work on Magic Valley. My commitment is always to a story.” Besides film screenings, the Sun Valley Film Festival has planned numerous parties and events, including free coffee talks with filmmakers every morning at the Magic Lantern Cinemas, as well as awards for those individuals whose work defies the confines of independent cinema when it comes to financing and storytelling. The Vision Award, the One In A Million Award, the Zions Bank Gem Award, and the Sun Valley Film Festival Audience Award will all honor producers and filmmakers whose passion for the art is truly unique and exemplary. sunvalleypropertynews.com
