Strategies to a Fantastic 2013 BY DR. JODY STANISLAW

H

ave you thought about how you’d like to live your life in 2013? Although the new year is a great time to make resolutions, less than 10 percent of people actually accomplish them. But you don’t have to fall into this trap. Whether you’ve thought about your goals or not, here are some proven strategies for having a fantastic 2013: Become clear on your intentions, such as more joy, more happiness, more relaxation, more love…Begin with the end in mind of how you want to feel, and then work backwards. Set your intentions first; action steps second. Come up with specific actions that are in alignment with your intention… see a funny movie once a month, schedule a date with a friend once a week, meditate 20 minutes every morning, spend 15 minutes daily with your feet up. Keep the bar low and slowly increase over time. One reason we don’t make the changes we really want is because we expect too much of ourselves, and then fail. By keeping your goals small—5 minutes of meditation each morning, avoiding sugar three days a week—you set yourself up for success, and success breeds more success! After achieving smaller goals, you then become motivated to stretch yourself further. Set up visual reminders. Write down your intentions/actions and post them up. Post up inspiring words or pictures in your bathroom, on your computer screen, on your car dash. It’s a fact that when you write down your goals, you greatly increase your success. Believe and visualize. Believe that you can do it. See yourself living as if it is already true. There is a story of a basketball team who spent an hour visualizing making baskets that had a much better season than a team who had spent an hour actually practicing. Picture your goal already true each night as you fall asleep. Use anchors. Tie your goal to a habit you already have. For example, if you want to drink more water, have a glass after every time you go to the bathroom. Don’t let frustration get you down. Fall down? Get back up. And then reassess, and keep your eyes on the goal. Have an accountability partner. Call or e-mail them regularly to report your progress. It’s a proven fact that people have a greater chance of reaching their goals when they have someone to be accountable to. No matter how great the athlete, nobody makes it the Olympics without a coach. Set time aside to become clear on your goals. Most people spend more time planning a vacation to get away from their life than planning how they actually want to live their very own life! So pick a time and write it in your calendar, like any other important appointment. Spend that time becoming clear on what you want for yourself in 2013. And attend my upcoming workshop, ‘Make 2013 Your Healthiest Year Ever!’ It is offered on January 5th or January 9th. Go here for more info: http://drjodynd.com/events/ Happy, Healthy 2013! tws

Ski Patrol 101

STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

full moon peeked out above the silhouette of Bald Mountain, bidding me “Good morning” as I turned onto Serenade Lane. I cruised into one of those parking spaces in the lower parking lot that I’ve always coveted and fished my skis, poles and helmet out of the car. It was 7:11 and still plenty dark. Too dark to even think about skiing. But this is what the Sun Valley Ski Patrol reports to every morning during those short days of December. And I was about to find out what things look like for them each day, thanks to Sun Valley’s new Ski Patrol 101. Ski Patrol 101 is Sun Valley’s latest adventure designed to acquaint guests with America’s first destination ski resort. The resort introduced rides on The Beast, its Cadillac of groomers, last year. And it also offered tours of the resort’s snowmaking center tucked away in the fir trees below Roundhouse Restaurant.

This year the ski patrol elected to offer guests a glimpse of what they do to get the mountain ready each day. “It’s great we can outreach… give kids a chance to come up and see what’s going on,” said Sun Valley Ski Patrol Supervisor Mike Lloyd. “It increases our visibility and shows people what needs to happen every morning to get the mountain ready.” Skiers and boarders can enter a lottery for Ski Patrol 101 at a kiosk in River Run Lodge. Two lucky names will be selected each Saturday throughout the season. Each is allowed to bring a friend. And you must have a ski pass or lift ticket. The inaugural “class” includes Merritt Baldwin and Ashley Watson of Hailey and Elise Flippo with her sons Mitch and Clint. The boys slept with their ski helmets the night before and jumped right out of bed at 6 they were so excited, Elise Flippo said. “It’s a oncein-a-lifetime experience to be able to ski with the patrol,” she added.

“I’m looking forward to skiing and being the only one on the mountain,” said Clint, age 10. “I’m hoping they will introduce us to some unmarked runs,” said Mitch, age 13. “We’ve skied just about all the named runs.” As Ski Patroller David Schames makes small talk, we watch the lights of a snowmobile zigzag up the Hershey Highway from the gondola. The lights of Ketchum twinkle in the distance. Closer at hand, a snow groomer works its way down Roundhouse Lane right underneath us. A red streak sandwiched between two clouds appears over our shoulder announcing daybreak as we board the Christmas chair. With the temperature a balmy 1 degree at the bottom, I expect to freeze to death on the Christmas chair. But it’s 9 degrees at the top and the chill of daybreak hasn’t hit yet. By 8 a.m., patrollers have come up

Fools and Center to Toast Marriage STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

hey’ve already eloped. Now, Company of Fools and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts wants you to help toast their marriage. The happy couple will formally announce their merger with a reception at 5:30 p.m. tonight at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Refreshments will be served, a video will be shown and remarks will be made at 6 p.m. Even Michael Faison, executive director of the Idaho Commission on the Arts, will be on hand to raise his glass in toast as the merger makes the Sun Valley Center and Company of Fools the largest arts organization in Idaho. The whole thing started with periodic conversations the leaders of the two organizations had, in which they talked about their programs. “We always felt a tremendous kinship concerning how we feel about our work. Our values are similar in that we both want to do things that draw the community into a conversation, and we’re both committed to the work we do in the schools,” said Kristin Poole, artistic direc-

tor for The Center. “We always ended up saying, ‘If only we had known, we could have collaborated with you on that. This is primarily an artistic collaboration that should lead to richer programs for both of us.” The merger follows many months of discussions, a formal due-diligence process and the development of an integration plan. Under the agreement, the 501(c)(3) status the Fools had has been dissolved. Company of Fools, which took root in the Valley 17 years ago, will move under the umbrella of The Center, becoming its theater arts arm. The two boards have been merged. But, although married, the two entities will live apart as the Fools continue to base their operations in The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. That said, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts has retooled its design for its proposed facility across from the Ketchum Post Office to include expanded theater space because of the merger, said Kristine Bretall, The Center’s marketing director. The Fools will continue to do their plays. The Center will continue to offer its concert series,

lecture series and art exhibits. The Fools will continue to stage a Casino Royale fundraiser and The Center will continue to stage its wine auction and arts and crafts festival. But the merger will allow the two to collaborate on theatrical performances and readings. For instance, The Center plans an exhibition titled “Home Front” about veterans returning from war beginning in March. Company of Fools will do a play reading that meshes with that exhibition. It’s also hoped that the merger, which follows a national trend of mergers among nonprofit arts organizations, will eventually free the Fools’ Denise Simone and John Glenn up from their administrative burden, allowing them to spend more time exercising their creativity. And it will definitely ensure the longevity and future of Company of Fools, said Glenn. “At this moment we can’t say, ‘Ohmygosh, this is going to happen,’” he added. “Right now we just have the germ of an idea. But to make that happen you’ve got to get started. We’re touting this as one plus 1one equals 11 in hopes that someone

who comes to see a play might be drawn to a related lecture or class or art exhibit.” At the moment, Poole has the flush of a new bride about to embark on her honeymoon. “We’re just really, really excited. The Center has had a

briefs

number of momentous transitions in its 40 years and this is one of them,” she said. “I’m excited to see how this crossfertilization will produce new things we haven’t even thought of at this point.” tws

Free Centennial Hike Slid Show Saturday Professor Thomas Oord will share a free slide show of his hike along the 900-mile Centennial Trail through Idaho at 4 p.m. Saturday at Ketchum’s Community Library. Oord, professor of Theology and Philosophy at Northwest Nazarene University, Nampa, undertook the hike to be tested physically and to gain a period of self-reflection. The trail begins at the Idaho/Nevada border and finishes at the Canadian border. For two years Oord planned the hike and stocked up on backpacking gear. Using a GPS messaging device, he was able to send short updates about his travels—say, the time he bumped into a mama bear and her cubs. Or, the time he got sick from giardia, despite using purification tablets in his water.

As time went on he had to switch to smaller backpacking packs to adjust to his slimming waist. He ended up losing 40 pounds—so much it shocked his wife when she first saw him. He is believed to be only the sixth person to complete the journey in a single hiking session. Oord has written or edited more than a dozen books, including the recently published books, Defining Love: A Philosophical, Scientific, and Theological Engagement (Brazos Press) and The Nature of Love: A Theology (Chalice Press). He has written several books related to Wesleyan theology, including Relational Holiness: Responding to the Call of Love (with Michael Lodahl). Oord blogs frequently on his website: http://thomasjayoord.com

The Holy Land - Conflict As Old As Time STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

I

srael was never on my list of places to visit, but a publisher called, and so I thought, ‘Why not?’ It was too civilized. It was a place for ethnic or religious pilgrims. It wasn’t physically demanding, there’d be no suffering or challenges, so what good is that? The clock is always ticking on our youth. I can do Paris at 80. Preconceptions often pre-empt knowledge born of discovery. Israel was no exception, as the following weeks revealed. This was hallowed ground, soaked with blood, hoofbeats and heartbeats. When I stepped out of the airport van in Jerusalem, I felt the accumulated weight of past civilizations. Too civilized, indeed. Challenges? Angry Palestinians and the Intifadah. The Israeli military and their disdain for journalists. Competition from a dozen other photographers, all looking for ‘the shot.’ The desert, new place, new rules. I’d be out there every day and every place, from 4 a.m. to sometimes midnight, surrounded by the tumult. I had to emerge unscathed, loaded with the pollen of pictures. All that was challenge enough. Once out of Jerusalem (more about that very special place later), I headed for Be’er Sheva, a desert town with a weekend camel market. It didn’t take long to encounter my first military roadblock. The Israeli Army occupied every countryside intersection and every point of entry into a town so they could account for all motorized traffic. It was, ‘Papers, please.’ My rental car was perused. The Nikons in the front seat sent up red flags of suspicion. I would hear these shower of questions over and over again: ‘Where you from?’, ‘Where you going?’, ‘What’s the

purpose of your visit?’, ‘How long are you staying?’ and, ‘Are you a journalist?’ Instinct told me to be as deceptive as they were intrusive. I know occupying armies don’t like cameras. News crews are as feared and hated as a rocket-toting insurgent. I never admitted to being a journalist; instead, I was a tourist and an artist, just passing through. I just kept smiling. My visa, passport and baggage all matched my story, so they waved me through. It was the same thing all over again outside Be’er Sheva. ‘What are you doing in the desert?’, they asked. Be’er Sheva was a true oasis in the desert, a bustling small city the size of Hailey. Like so many Israeli cities, it had a pedestrian mall lined with shops, cafĂŠs, shaded outdoor seating, no cars in sight, a new paradigm for modern urban areas all over the U.S. There was another feature one finds in the Near East and Middle East—the Old Town and the New Town, the modern next to the traditional. Old Towns are packed with street culture, local color, character(s), art and crafts, mosques, bazaars and unique architectural signatures. (The finest example of this is Morocco.) I live, eat and shop in these places, exclusively. For the most part, it’s life as it had been long ago. I rose before dawn to catch first light at the ‘camel market.’ Alas, there were no camels, only sheep and a few goats, being unloaded from panel trucks. The Palestinians stood or sat, waiting for offers. Animals are a common form of currency in this part of the world, as Angelina Jolie, a frequent visitor to the Third World, can attest. She and Brad have fielded many offers for her hand—’How many ship for her, how many ship?’ tws

lism and allows them to live off of their fat stores. A small cache of twigs keeps the beaver kits going all winter long because, like most young animals, they never stop moving. Luckily, we’re not beavers and, therefore, don’t have to stay sedentary all winter to lower our food requirements. So jump on a pair of snowshoes or Nordic skis, head up to Trail Creek, and see if you can spot a spire of rising steam that marks a snow-covered beaver lodge. If you want to learn more about animals in winter, the ERC offers winter tracking workshops in January and February, led by Ann Christensen!

Winter Elk Range Closure Begins On Ketchum Ranger District The Ketchum Ranger District of the Sawtooth National Forest is instituting an area closure in the Warm Springs drainage to protect wintering elk and deer beginning December 31, 2012. All National Forest lands from the West Fork of Warm Springs east to Ketchum and north of the Warm Springs road within the Warm Springs drainage will be closed. The area closure will be posted with signs at normal access points. “This is a yearly closure that is routinely implemented when the presence of wintering big game animals and snow depth indicate that the protection is warranted,� said Bill Whitaker, range technician. “The closure

keeps the animals from expending energy trying to avoid humans,� said Whitaker. “Although we emphasize providing security to elk in the lower portions of the Warm Springs drainage with this closure, it is important that the public avoid getting close to elk wherever they are encountered and be aware of signs such as tracks or trails that indicate their presence. It is extremely important to avoid stressing elk so they can use their energy reserves to survive the winter,� Whitaker added. Please contact the Ketchum Ranger District at 208-622-5371 for additional information on this closure.

Bridge 5 Days a Week Starting Jan. 2 Bridge lessons and bridge games will be available five days a week in the Wood River Valley starting Jan. 2. Jo Murray and Chuck Abramo will teach three series of bridge classes. “Bridge Basics,� designed for people who have never played bridge or those who played years ago and want to learn modern methods, will be held on Wednesdays from 12:30-2:30 p.m. starting Jan. 2. Murray and Abramo also will teach classes for intermediate players on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3-5 p.m. Robert Prosbasco will offer onehour lectures for advanced players on Thursdays from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Abramo, Murray and Prosbasco are all certified both as teachers and as bridge club directors by the American Contract Bridge League. Duplicate bridge games will be held

Mondays and Thursdays from 3-6:30 p.m., Tuesdays and Fridays from 3-5 p.m., and Wednesdays from 7-10 p.m. The Tuesday and Friday games are designed for novice players or longtime social bridge players who would like to try a duplicate game, in which players compete against other people with the same cards. The Tuesday game will be at the Wood River YMCA, 101 Saddle Road, Ketchum. All other activities will be in the community room of Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, 206 Sun Valley Road, Sun Valley. Reservations are required for most activities. To make reservations or for additional information, contact Murray at jo@sunvalleybridge.com or 7201501 or go to www.sunvalleybridge. com or www.woodriverbridge.com.

Join the ERC’s Upcoming Discussion Group Our future depends on the lifestyle choices that we make today. The ERC’s Choices for Sustainable Living discussion group will be based on a guide written by the well-respected Northwest Earth Institute in Portland. The topics included are ecological principles, food, community, consumption and the economy, and the readings were recently updated to include transportation. Participants will explore the meaning and vision of

sustainability from individual, societal and global perspectives. The only fee to participate is for the cost of the guide, which can be purchased through the ERC for $25, if reserved by January 9th. Please register in advance at 208-726-4333. The weekly meetings will be held at The Sustainability Center, in Hailey, beginning Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, from 6:30- 8:00pm, and ending Feb. 27.

eavers stay in their lodges all winter long, but never hibernate or go into torpor. However, since their ponds are frozen, they’re obviously not out collecting food. Moreover, in cold temperatures, an animal’s metabolism can almost double, necessitating a doubling in its food intake. So how do they survive in there? Beaver lodges have thick walls packed with mud, kind of like the insulation in the walls of our houses. This keeps the lodge temperature steady throughout the winter, while a hole in the roof prevents carbon dioxide buildup. Also, beavers pack on the pounds in the fall, storing fat in their tails. Adults limit their movement throughout the winter, which lowers their metabo-

Random Acts of Kindness Honor Sandy Hook Victims

M

BY KAREN BOSSICK

aybe I looked like a sad little puppy dog. Or maybe I was simply bleary-eyed from too many newspaper and magazine deadlines. At any rate, I caught Carol Harlig’s eye as she breezed through the Konditorei. “I’m glad to find you here!â€? she said as she set a tiny red box of truffles in front of me. A sheet of paper was included with the names of the 26 children and teachers who had been gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. It specified that my gift was in honor of Jack Pinto, age six. “Will you pay it forward to someone else with another act of kindness?â€? the message continued. Harlig said she spent the days before Christmas walking up to strangers and handing them gift certificates for Perry’s, mailing anonymous gift certificates to friends and handing out boxes of truffles. Each gift included the printed message so the recipient would know why she did it. She got the idea from the “26 Acts of Kindnessâ€? movement started by NBC News correspondent Ann Curry, who tweeted, “Imagine if everyone could commit to doing one act of kindness for each precious life lost‌â€? “It’s grown into something huge across the country. I just wanted to do something and thought this was a small way to get involved,â€? said Harlig, a former elementary school teacher who now lives north of Ketchum. “It’s been the most amazing thing to see the looks on people’s faces as they read the message. First, they want to ignore you, thinking you’re asking for some

COURTESY PHOTOS

kind of donation. Then, when I tell them it’s to honor the 26 lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary, their demeanor totally softens.� Harlig’s not the only one spreading random acts of kindness to memorialize the Sandy Hook victims. Hailey residents Marcia Mode Stavros and Leo Stavros decided to forego Christmas presents this year and instead used that money to fund “26 Acts of Kindness� gifts. They also plan to pick up the pen and write more personal notes to those who are having a rough go of it. KECH News Director Dayle Ohlau said a friend of hers showed her a homemade children’s card she’d received in honor of the victims. Inside was a gift certificate for $10 at Hailey Coffee Company. “So sweet. She started crying when she received it,� Ohlau said. Leslie Silva quietly and quickly collected 500 winter coats for those who lost their homes to Hurricane Sandy after former Community Library

Director Colleen Daly told her of the need. The Wood River Jewish Community is collecting donations for counseling services and clergy working with families affected by the Sandy Hook shooting through www.congadathisrael.org. And Leslie Hanks, who owns Local Dog USA, donated 27 boxes of dog treats to the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley in honor of each of the Sandy Hook shooting victims. She wrote the name of a different victim on each of the boxes. “The donation brought the shelter staff to tears,� said Brooke Bonner, director of development and communications for the shelter.�We are so humbled to be part of the nationwide outpouring of sympathy for those who died and their families. “The staff use treats every day to reinforce positive behavior. They use them to teach the dogs to sit. And they use them to teach the dogs not to jump up on people. They help us socialize the pets and make them more adoptable. �

The shelter, which currently has 24 dogs and 14 cats following an amazing 10 adoptions on Thursday alone, has received other gifts in memory of the Sandy Hook victims. In fact, the shelter is creating a page on its website that will honor the names of the Sandy Hook victims, as well as the names of anyone who donates gifts in honor or memory of them. For information, contact Bonner at brooke@animalshelterwrv.org. Apparently, acts of kindness aren’t relegated strictly to the human world. Dr. Maria Maricich shared with me this week how she’d been vacationing in Mexico when she spotted a bird that had lost its beak. It survived despite

Pay It Forward and Experience Happiness

the loss of its beak because of its little birdy friends who were chipping in to feed it. Carol Harlig says she still has a few gifts to give out. “It’s been a neat feeling of being part of something bigger. I heard of someone in California who called the coffee shop in Newtown, Conn., and bought free coffee for everyone who came in one day,� she said. “The amazing thing is that the ‘gift’ doesn’t have to involve money. It can even be a handwritten note to someone going through a rough time. The idea is just to get involved and pay it forward. Lovely idea, don’t you think?� tws

Dayle Ohlau shared with me this week a study that showed that University of British Columbia researchers studying empathy and altruism in schoolchildren have determined that the children who performed acts of kindness are much more likely to be accepting of their peers, more positive, more empathetic and caring and less likely to bully. Adults who did the same experienced more happiness and became more likely to help others. Children in the study had to plan three acts of kindness a week and carry them out. These acts didn’t have to be elaborate. They were as simple as giving Mom a hug when she was stressed out, sharing lunches with their schoolmates, and vacuuming the floor. tws

Sun Valley Opens A La Mode and Short Line Deli STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

T Got news? We want it! Send it to editor@theweeklysun.com(200 words + a photo)

here’s a new sweet spot in town. It’s A La Mode, which serves up 17 specialty cocoas, including Raspberry Snowball, the Orange Dreamsicle and Peanut Butter Cup. The Coconut Macaroon features whipped cream made out of a handful of coconut concoctions—it’s like sipping cocoa with a whipped macaroon on top. Sundaes include the Baldy Fudge. Shakes include such flavors as Huckleberry Cream and Strawberry Fields. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The Short Line Deli, sonamed in honor of Union Pacific Railroad that was part of the founding of Sun Valley, is also open just next door. The deli will feature smoked salmon, lox and bagels from New York, as well as fresh Idaho goat cheese and Niman Ranch corned beef. More than 15 sandwiches can be made to order—the sandwiches named The Challenger and other names in keeping with the train theme. Hours are 11 a.m. tws to 7 p.m.

Twins Brittany and Brooke Parker grew up in the Wood River Valley. Now they have what they call a “dream job,” serving up specialty cocoas and sundaes at A La Mode. PHOTO ON COVER: Brian Rose of San Francisco was among the first to sample a specialty cocoa at A La Mode.

uess what’s the best city in the United States when it comes to men’s health? According to “Men’s Health,” it’s Boise. “Back in the 1860s, a gold rush lured men from all over the country to the Boise Basin. Some struck it rich, but most simply struck out. Today, most of the gold is gone, but in its place is something much more valuable: a rich vein of health, happiness, and fitness that the men of Boise, Idaho, are mining every day,” the article said. Boise’s ranking was determined by 38 different criteria, including air quality, unemployment, cost of living, death rates, crime, commute time and the ratio of single men to single women. The survey learned that the

average commute for the boys of Boise is just 18 minutes, which gives them more time for sleeping, exercising and making home-cooked meals. And bicycling. When you drive, your commute is susceptible to slowdowns from packed roadways, but travel time on a bike is the same every day, explained Boise State University professor George Knight, M.A., founder and director of the school’s Bicycle Congress. And Boise is cycling-centric with more than 220 miles of on-street bike lanes, 46 miles of designated bike routes, a raft of roadwidening projects and bike racks outside most public buildings. Wonder how we in the Wood River Valley would stack up? We have miles of bike paths—without the tire-puncturing goathead weeds. We’ve got headwinds that force more oomph out of the

brownie power we use to pedal those bikes. And those same headwinds help keep us from getting the smoggy inversions that sometimes beset Boise. Other top towns for men’s health were San Jose, Calif.; San Francisco, Calif.; Plano, Texas; and Seattle, Wash., with its colorectal cancer prevention and protection and above-average economy, which doctors say provides men with better access to colon cancer screenings. The remainder of the top 10: Burlington, Vt.; Austin, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Madison, Wis.; and Portland, Ore.

Students Collect Trees for Bus Money STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

our old Christmas tree could translate into gold—trophy gold, that is. Two dozen Wood River High School band members are offering to pick up discarded Christmas trees on Saturday to raise money to go to the Heritage Music Festival competition in Anaheim, Calif. Wood River High School’s 137 band and choir members scored big at last year’s festival, lugging home the sweepstakes trophy, along with trophies for choral sweepstakes, instrumental sweepstakes, outstanding choir, outstanding Dixie band, outstanding band and outstanding chamber orchestra and a bunch of gold medals and first-place ribbons. They competed against 31 schools and more than 2,600 music and vocal students. The kids are asking for a donation of $10 to haul away trees up to 8 feet and a donation of $20 for trees over 8 feet. They’ll take them to Ohio Gulch where they will be mulched. To have your tree hauled away, call 208-481-0389. This is the fourth year the kids have hauled away trees to raise money for the trip to Anaheim. They hauled away more than 200 trees last year. Each participant earned about $130 toward the $475 each needed, in the process. “People love it,” said Sandra Hesselbacher. “We’ve got about eight trucks lined up so far. I draw up maps showing where the trees are to be picked up and we send the kids out in their dirty clothes.” Leading the charge is band leader Tony Randall, who is making an amazing comeback

after being struck last winter by a car on Highway 75 during a ground blizzard south of Bellevue. Randall spent two months in a coma and returned to school this fall. He not only took his former place in front of the school’s jazz band and Dixieland band, but

started a new jazz band at the middle school. “He’s gutsy. He’s a fighter,” said Hesselbacher. “He has some loss of peripheral vision in one eye and the kids say when he climbs onto the podium, you can hear his bones grinding. But he tws motors through it.”

lfred Hitchcock remains one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and an even bigger enigma to those who seek to psychoanalyze him through his work. In the very entertaining new film Hitchcock, about the making of his legendary movie, Psycho, we have both the history of the

making of the film and an attempt to understand the man. In trying to do both lay the limitations of the movie, but even with that, it will certainly delight aficionados of the man’s work. The story begins in 1959 when Hitchcock is coming off one of his greatest successes, North by Northwest, and in a funk about what his next project will be. To

the distaste of everyone around him, he chooses the book “Psycho� by Robert Bloch about the Wisconsin psychopath and mass murderer, Ed Gein. The rest will be history as he then crafted the ultimate B movie and the template for all the slasher films that will follow. Despite financing it himself and in a battle to the death with the censorship board, Hitchcock

created the most profitable film of his career. The stories of Psycho’s marketing are legendary, including the parking of ambulances outside the theater where it was showing and the shock and horror that the brilliantly edited shower scene elicited in a 1960’s audience. Of course, this film isn’t hurt by its outstanding leads—Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren—and a supporting performance by Scarlett Johansson as Leigh. Hopkins, with the aid of makeup and a fat suit, perfectly captures the droll humor of the man as well as his famous eccentricities and his penchant for casting a slew of beautiful blondes in his films. At his side is Mirren in a wonderful performance as his long-suffering wife and creative muse. Behind every great man is a great woman, as Hitchcock conveys beautifully. Perhaps commercially limited by the age of its target audience, the film still delivers good, solid entertainment.

T

he alpine ski season is about to enter its second half and many of last year’s greats (Hirscher, Riesch, Svindal, Zettel, Maze, Ligety) are this year’s greats. One conspicuous absence is Lindsay Vonn, the No. 1 woman skier in the world. She started the year with a great personal disappointment. The male hierarchy that rules international sports nixed Vonn’s request to be able to race against the men in a few selected downhills, mostly in North America (Beaver Creek). While in Vail, she contracted a stubborn intestinal ailment, and she couldn’t race anymore. Finally, she got a little better and immediately won three consecutive speed events, only to have a relapse in France. She left the circuit and the skill events (not her forte) and is due back as the speed events resume in Austria’s

St. Anton. Recently, she disclosed to People magazine that she’s struggled with depression, a challenge every bit as daunting as a ski hill. She now bears the burden of being a role model to millions of people who struggle and often lose the battle with depression. Meanwhile, Slovenia’s amazin’ Tina Maze has podiumed consistently, owns the giant slalom and has a sizeable overall lead over the competition, with four wins and seven podium finishes. One great surprise has been in the slalom, where U.S. teenager (17) Mikaela Shiffrin won her first World Cup race in Are, Sweden, the third youngest American to do so. Out of 14 races, she has seven Top 10 finishes, two in the G.S. She leads the slalom standings, and adds great balance to the U.S. team, which has historically conceded the skill events to the Europeans.

Bode Miller hurt his knee last year on the ice-injected slopes of Sochi, and is probably out for the season. However, Marco Sullivan and the emerging Steven Nyman, who won the downhill in Val Gardena, have picked up the slack. The great Marcel Hirscher has crowned the U.S.’s Ted Ligety ‘Mr. Giant Slalom.’ He has three G.S. wins, all by large, multi-second margins, and his losses come by a hair. He so overwhelmed the Italians in Alta Badia, they accused him of cheating by using non-regulation skis, which was immediately disproven. Aksel Lund Svindal of Sweden is king of the speed events, and is as consistent as Maze in podium finishes. He leads in the Overall over Hirscher and Ligety. The U.S. has better balance than last year, and with Vonn back, it will be an interesting tws second half.

The Reset House, a Homeless Center for Teens, Inc. Committed to Establish The Reset House, a new Wood River Valley organization committed to the establishment of a safe, healthy, positive home for homeless teens, recently incorporated under the nonprofit laws of the State of Idaho. The Reset House is dedicated to the mission of providing a secure and nurturing environment to estranged youth, in order to reconnect them with their families through restorative practices. The organization was founded in reaction to an ongoing need in the Wood River Valley. Astoundingly, even here in Sun Valley, 40 percent of surveyed students know of fellow students who have been homeless within the preceding three months. The Reset House, currently only a mission-driven concept, seeks to secure a facility to bring physical real-

ity to this critical need. The fledgling group is currently governed by a group of dedicated professionals, including an educator, a psychologist, a physician, a marketing specialist and an attorney, but is seeking new volunteers with a broader range of expertise. The Reset House has submitted its application to the Internal Revenue Service seeking approval of its tax-exempt status as a 501 (c) (3) organization. While donations do not have advance assurance of deductibility while the application is pending, the organization in good faith anticipates approval, and ultimate deductibility of any donations. Please contact Jean Bohl, at _theresethouse@gmail.com, for further information or to make contributions.

Parents of Recent Graduates Invited to Take Survey by Monday, January 7 Are you a parent of a recent graduate from Carey School, Silver Creek High School or Wood River High School? Parents of recent graduates are invited to take a short survey to provide feedback on how well the Blaine County School District prepares its graduates for college and careers. With the likelihood that recent high school graduates are home during the holidays, the district hopes that the timing of the survey enables parents to base their responses on conversations with their recent graduates. “It’s important to the administration and the board of trustees that we

have information about our effectiveness in preparing students for lifelong learning. It will help the Blaine County School District improve the quality of education in our community,” said Superintendent Dr. Lonnie Barber. The survey is less than five questions. If parents did not already receive the survey via e-mail, they can contact Communications Director Heather Crocker to receive the survey. The survey closes on Monday, January 7. For more on the Blaine County School District, go to www.blaineschools.org

Fabulous Female Friday This January 4 Fabulous Female Friday, on Friday, January 4, is a senior project that was presented by Amelia Fugate to the city council in Hailey. As part of her senior project, Fugate made a presentation to the mayor and city council that resulted in the passing of a proclamation in order to celebrate the accomplishments of women, both young and old. The Wood River Valley community is full of bright, intelligent young girls and women that have earned, and deserve, to be recognized for the accom-

plishments that they have achieved. Residents interested in participating should attend local businesses for celebration specials. Participating businesses include daVinci’s, Shorty’s Diner, and Resilient Body Pilates (http://www.resilientbodypilates. com/). In order to receive the specials, participants should state that they are there to celebrate Fabulous Female Friday. Also, the Hailey Holiday Square bonfire will be lit for the event from 5 to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served

Living in the Natural World BY JONATHAN KANE

H

anna Robideaux, Community School senior, was never much for nature. That all changed on a series of trips that she has taken as part of the school’s curriculum. “I remember our first class trip to Norton Lakes. I really hated camping and all I remember was crying through the whole trip,” Robideaux said. Boy, how things have changed since, as Robideaux will be spending her senior project soloing in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. The purpose of the trip will be for a paper she will be writing on a literary analysis of the relationship between humans and nature or, as she calls it, “the cosmos dilemma.” The impetus behind Robideaux’s project was the three days she spent soloing in Canyonlands last year as part of the school’s outdoor program. “It was a life-changing experience. We all backpacked for three days and then you spent three days alone in the wilderness. I learned a lot more about myself and my surroundings than I could ever have imagined. I found myself totally at peace and at a level of serenity that I never could have imagined. Because I’m the oldest of seven children, quiet time and being alone is at a premium and something that I rarely experience. It’s a total luxury.” Robideaux added, “It gave me an opportunity not to worry about anything like

school, college applications and my siblings. It’s just something that I want to do again, badly. “The main thing was that I felt that I was an equal part of my surroundings. It’s a concept that Henry David Thoreau stated in his book Walden—that we are equal parts in an evolving nature cycle. In the ecosystem, a human being is equal to something like a tree. I thought I understood nature until I got out there. It really opened my eyes.” Robideaux has also been studying the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Edward Abbey, the latter who wrote about his experiences in Canyonlands. “I was able to see with my own eyes the places that he was talking about. Most people see God in nature. Abbey saw it for what he thought it was—a rock is a rock. As people, we sometimes can’t

be objective about nature,” said Robideaux. From March 15-20 Robideaux will be experiencing it again as she solos for her project. “I’ll be looking at the five concepts that I’ve outlined and see how they fit into the literary concepts that I have studied. My mom is a little worried, naturally, so I will be meeting her at designated checkpoints. Other than that I’ll be hiking and camping on my own. I’m very much a people person so it will be good to see her and I know that I’ll be bored at certain points. In all, I’ll get a better understanding of how people think and relate. Some people think that nature is here to be used and see it as natural resources. Others think nature makes them godlike. Either way, it should be the adventure of a lifetime.” tws

SKI PATROL 101, from page 1 from both sides of the mountain where they assemble in the aged log patrol hut, which has been covered up to the roof by snow on one side. If six or more inches of snow had fallen overnight, the patrollers would have assembled an hour earlier to do what they call “avalanche reduction.” Supervisors present a briefing on the grooming that took place the night before, along with a list of special events going on around the mountain that day. The day before, a skier who hiked up the mountain by the light of the full moon was knocked senseless when he ran into a cable used to pull snow groomers up steep hills. It is an ongoing problem, Lloyd noted. “We’ve had an interesting year,” he added, referring to nearly 10 feet of snow, a photo shoot in Dollar Mountain’s terrain park and some major medical calls, including two heart attacks, a broken leg and a couple of concussions. “I think we’ve had a full season in one month.”

Does that favorite vehicle in the garage need some work?

Snow Safety Supervisor Rich Bingham advises the troops that the temperatures will top out in the teens. The resort could get 2 inches of snow overnight, but it will probably be closer to a trace, he predicted. Avalanche risk is moderate, he concluded. Bryant Dunn tells the patrollers that Sun Valley hosted 7,251 skiers the day before. “It was a big day, but they’re spreading out all over the mountain,” he said. “This is going to be our busiest day of the year, so get ready for that. And be aware: Lower River Run is absolutely terrifying late in the afternoon when everyone is heading down for the day.” The patrollers head out—five to Seattle Ridge and 20 to open the rest of the mountain. More are covering Dollar Mountain. Their goal: to have all the gates open and the mountain ready by 9 a.m. when the first skiers and boarders hop on the chairlift. Schames volunteers to take myself and the Flippos under his wing. Originally from Connecticut, his family skied here when he was a little boy. He moved to Sun Valley in 1975 where he worked for the snowmaking department until 1979. He returned to Sun Valley six years ago—this time as a ski patroller. “You have to enjoy adventure if you want to be a patroller,” he tells us. “You never know what you’re going to spend the day doing when you come to work.” Our first assignment is to check a closure on top of Christmas Ridge where the snowpack is thin. We point our skis down off the cat track outside the patrol hut and head for that area where we find a small minefield of rocks. That part should be roped off for the safety of the guests, we agree. Schames shows the boys how to raise the cushion hugging one of the chairlift poles. Then he escorts them down the bumps lining Christmas Ridge to one of the gates opening onto the Bowls. Schames is patient as the boys yank on the rope several times before they succeed, the rebound sending them sprawling on the snow. We ski down the bumps to the next gate and repeat the process. “Looks like your boys have a future as ski patrollers,” I tell Elise Flippo as the boys seem to get the knack for it. “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be ski patrolmen,” Schames interjected, borrowing a line from Waylon and Willie. We slice through untracked corduroy as we head down Christmas to the cat track. There, we string “Closed” ropes across the cat track to prevent people from accessing Guntower Lane before the groomer finishes with it.

Then, let’s fix it up for Next Season!

We’ll catch the chair and ski back down to reopen it, Schames tells the boys. By 9 we’ve accomplished what we set out to do. But Schames isn’t through with the boys. He points out some of those unmarked runs, such as Executioner to the side of Rock Garden. Then he straps avalanche beacons around the boys’ chests and takes them down to the avalanche beacon practice park just above the grove of trees on Christmas. “If we were digging for a person, we’d have shovels and problems and a dog out here—she’s faster than any of us,” Schames said. “It was neat coming up on the mountain and seeing the moon set as the sun rose,” said Mitch. “And I liked that I got to open and close gates and try the avalanche deal. I think it would be fun being a ski patrolman.” tws

A Comfort Dish To Ring in The New Year RECIPE & PHOTO BY MARGOT VAN HORN

I

t’s after the holidays and sometimes that means a bit of a letdown. Here’s a recipe to help you recover. I think that this combination of lamb and beans is full of comfort, so enjoy in the calmness of the New Year. Lamb Shanks with White Beans Serves 2-6 if you don’t concentrate on the meat only Ingredients for White Beans: 1 lb. dried white beans (I used the little ones but the larger variety are fine as well) 4 cloves garlic, crushed or finely chopped 1 C. cored and chopped tomatoes—(canned and drained are fine) 1 bay leaf Herbs to be used for both beans and shanks: 1 Tbsp. fresh sage leaves or 1 tsp. dried sage and some left over for extra seasonings 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme A dab more thyme leaves for browning the veggies Ingredients for Lamb Shanks: 4 lamb shanks—3/4 to 1 lb. each (mine in the picture was almost 2 lbs.—WOW—what a lamb!) 1/3 – 1/2 C. olive oil Flour for dredging 1 medium onion, rough cut 3 stalks of celery, rough cut 2 peeled carrots, rough cut 1 clove garlic, rough cut salt and pepper to taste 1 bay leaf 3/4 C. red wine 3/4 C. beef stock Minced fresh parsley or sage leaves or thyme sprigs for garnish Instructions: Cooking the Beans: Quick boil or soak the beans

overnight (according to package directions). Place the beans in a deep pot and cover with water. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil; skim the foam if necessary. Turn the heat down so that the beans simmer and add the garlic, tomatoes, bay leaf, and 1/3 of the herbs mentioned in this recipe. Cook 1-1/2 to 2 hours — till they are tender.

Cooking the Shanks: Blender or Osterize chop the celery, carrots, garlic and onion into a small chop. I do leave aside a couple of carrots and celery, large cut, just for the look of the dish—but don’t feel obliged to do this. Mix the remainder of the seasonings in enough flour to dredge the shanks a bit and rub it on the shanks. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and brown the shanks on all sides (about 8-10 minutes). If you have a lot of shanks, you may have to do this in more than one session. When browned, set aside on a separate plate. In the remaining oil (if you need more, pour a bit in), add and stir the veggies with a dab more of thyme over medium heat until they are glistening (about 7 minutes). Put the shanks back in the pot on top of the veggies, add the wine and beef bouillon and a bay leaf; simmer, covered, on very low heat for 3 to 3 ½ hours, or until when you insert a toothpick in the fleshy part of the shank, it’ll go in and come out easily. Keep an eye on the shanks just to make sure they don’t need more wine or bouillon. The Finished Product: At this point, I like to have a lovely country-style platter to take my beans out with a slotted spoon and some or all of its liquid as well and top it with my lamb shanks, veggies and its sauce; then garnish with the parsley, sage, or thyme. tws

Miracle at Redfish Lake BY KAREN BOSSICK

Y

ou’ve heard plenty of stories about the fish that got away. Have you heard the one about the diamond wedding ring that almost got away? The Idaho Falls Post-Register ran a story this week that told how an Ucon, Idaho, woman named Alair Schroeder lost her diamond ring of 38 years while swimming at the dog beach at Redfish Lake near Stanley. She and her husband Dana Schroeder celebrate their anniversary at Redfish every year. Alair realized the ring was missing later that night but a midnight search found nothing. The Schroeders returned with friends, scuba gear and an underwater metal detector. But all they turned up was a fishing hook, broken necklace and 17

cents worth of coins. Later in the summer, Amy Harris of Nampa was wading in Redfish Lake when she saw a metallic glint at the bottom. She reached into the water after what she guessed was a bracket to give to her sons. She fished out the ring, instead. She posted an ad on Craigslist looking for the owner, but it went unanswered. Several months later, she decided to sell the ring. As luck—or fate, or serendipity—would have it, her husband called an old jeweler friend to determine what they should ask for the ring. That jeweler had sold the Schroeders a replacement ring and knew immediately who the ring belonged to. So now Alair Schroeder has diamonds on each of her ring fingers and a smile on her face. “I think it was a miracle,” she tws told the Post-Register.

briefs

Author Richard Rodriguez Comes to Ketchum Richard Rodriguez, who has written powerfully about race, class and ethnicity in three largely autobiographical books, will speak in Ketchum on Thursday, Jan. 17, as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Lecture Series. Rodriguez’s talk will focus on “the browning of America,” a phrase he uses in his third book, Brown: The Last Discovery of America, to describe the increased cultural, ethnic and racial mixing in America—although he claims that such mixing is nothing new and was, in fact, present from the first moment Europeans, Africans and Native Americans met on the New World some 500 years ago. Calling himself a “queer Catholic Indian Spaniard at home in a temperate

Chinese city in a fading blond state in a post-Protestant nation,” Rodriguez uses his own life as one example of what it means to be “brown.” Or, as he optimistically elaborates: “I think brown marks a reunion of peoples, an end to ancient wanderings. Rival cultures and creeds conspire with spring to create children of a beauty, perhaps of a harmony, previously unknown. Or long forgotten.” The lecture will be held at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood and starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at www.sunvalleycenter.org for $25 members; $35 non-members; $10 students. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 208-726-9491, ext. 10, or stop by The Center in Ketchum.

DID YOU KNOW

Moose Crossing at Baldy PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

cow moose and her calf surprised skiers boarding the chairlift first thing Christmas morning by running across Lower River Run. Think Santa was recruiting a few good moose for next year’s sleigh ride? While Baldy could put up moose-crossing signs, they could also put up signs for other wildlife given the herd of elk that has wintered in Frenchman’s Gulch,

the black bear that tends to loll around the Olympic side of the mountain, and the deer that occasionally greet skiers at the top of the mountain. Sun Valley Ski Patroller David Schames said patrollers have spotted mountain lion tracks on Baldy this year. They have not, however, spotted the lion and they’re not likely to, given the cat’s elusive nature. After dying off due to mange, the fox are making a comeback and could resume their former

positions cleaning up granola bars and other foodstuff kids drop under the chairs at Dollar Mountain. Best to give the moose, who hang around the Big Wood River and the willows in the lower parking lot, their space, however. “The moose are not particularly good-natured animals to begin with. And when they have a calf, they can be even more guarded and irritable,” Schames said. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, When my husband and I dreamed of retirement, we both imagined touring the country. Little did I know we had very different ideas on how to do that. While I dreamed of traveling in a comfortable RV, my husband envisioned touring on a motorcycle. I thought he was kidding at the time, but lately he's been scanning the classifieds for the right bike. He's trying to convince me that touring motorcycles are more than comfortable enough to travel 1,500 miles. I'd like to believe him, but I keep picturing us stranded under a bridge every time it rains. Are touring motorcycles really a good way to travel or should I settle for nothing less than a cozy RV?

• • • Cash: If your heart is set on having a kitchen and bathroom with you as you travel, we're afraid a touring motorcycle just won't compare with an RV. It's really difficult to carry a refrigerator on the back of a bike. Carry: However, touring the country on a motorcycle has its advantages. As avid motorcyclists ourselves, we love the feel of traveling in the open air. And for long

Fast Facts Gassed to Go

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 12/30/12 ©The Classified Guys®

cross-country trips, your husband may not find a more appropriate bike than one designed for touring. Cash: There are a lot of makes and models, but touring bikes designed by large manufacturers like Harley Davidson, Honda, BMW and Yamaha possess some really nice amenities. Not only are they more powerful than a small economy car, but their plushy designs could have you thinking you're in a living room chair. Carry: Many large touring bikes come with options like cruise control, heating grips, heated seats, electrically adjustable windshields, front and rear stereo systems and even intercom systems between the driver and passenger. That means you can talk to your husband for the

whole trip. Cash: Or turn him off if he gets on your nerves. Carry: The adjustable windshields and newer designs of touring bikes keep you very well protected from the weather. Some are so effective that you can avoid getting wet in an unexpected rainstorm. That would keep you from being stranded under a bridge. Cash: At the end of your day, you could opt for a hotel, or if you prefer camping, larger bikes are actually capable of pulling small pop-up campers. Carry: Of course if you're still not convinced of traveling by motorcycle, you could always buy a plane ticket and meet your husband at the final destination.

When it comes to fuel economy, most motorcycles outperform your everyday car. A small scooter that can reach 45 mph can get between 85 to 90 miles per gallon. A midrange motorcycle, typically cruisers up to 1,200cc, achieve between 45 to 70 miles per gallon. Even the sleek-designed sport bikes surpass most of today's cars averaging 35 mpg. Larger touring motorcycles are the least efficient, but still save you on travel costs with their impressive 30 miles per gallon.

High Society

Through the years, motorcycle riders were considered rebels. Characters like James Dean or Happy Day's "Fonzie" helped portray a biker image. However, today's motorcyclists come from a much more diverse mix of social and economic levels. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, the average biker is 41 years old and earns around $55,850 a year. Almost 20% of all bikers have professional jobs like doctors, lawyers or accountants. Even celebrities like Jay Leno, Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger can be seen cruising down the road on their motorcycles. Guess you could say everyone has a little rebel in them.

Reader Humor Sizzling Hot

My husband always wanted to be a biker. When he finally bought his Harley, I thought the craze would die down. But for him the bad boy image just started. One day he came home wearing a skin-tight leather outfit. It wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't weigh over 250 pounds. He looked like a sausage wrapped in leather. "Why would you ever buy that outfit?" I questioned. "I told the shop to dress me like James Dean," he proudly proclaimed. "James Dean?" I laughed. "You look more like a Jimmie Dean!" (Thanks to Laurie M.)

None of these contestants of the recently-concluded season 2 of “The X-Factor” won (40-something Tate Stevens did -over the heavily-favored 13-year-old Sonenclair), but each of them definitely deserves to be bookmarked on YouTube, Soundcloud.com and wherever else their stellar music is currently posted, because each of them is a true musical sensation ... and hopefully none of them will be forgotten. Thanks for the AWESOME music, guys!!! :) Like something? Don’t keep it to yourself!
