Bringing Life to Stone Page Klune’s Inuit Art Collection

PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

Y

ou might expect to see icebergs floating outside the window after a quick glance around Page Klune’s three-level home in Ketchum. Klune’s home is a virtual museum of Inuit art—from Cape Dorset prints dating back to 1959 to smooth green stone carvings indigenous to the Cape Dorset area and black stone carvings from the Baker Lake area. Klune, who has collected several hundred works, contributed nearly two dozen works for “Due North,” an exhibition showing at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Hailey Center through Feb. 10. And she opens her home by appointment to private collectors interested in Inuit art and crafts, including baskets featuring baleen, moccasins and mittens. “It’s amazing what the Inuit can do with a piece of stone,” said Klune, picking up a piece that contains a woman’s face, walrus and bear in one piece. “I like the simplicity, the naturalness of it. It feels good and it tells the story of their life. ” Klune, a former fashion editor for a women’s magazine, was introduced to the frozen north—a stark landscape of rock and snow—by her late husband, a Montreal filmmaker. She’d venture there in July for a month at a time, eating Arctic char and seal, venturing out on a sled pulled by a Ski-Doo snowmobile and sleeping in tents in view of caribou. “I’d go up wearing layers of long underwear and other clothing and the children there would be wearing next to nothing,” recalled Klune. “They lived in prefab homes with crude tables and chairs. They didn’t have many belongings but they were tied to TV—everyone had a satellite dish sitting on top of their home. “The muktuk whale blubber they ate was awful. I’d get excited for peanut butter after that.” Art has always played a big part in Inuit society and continues to do so today as one of the people’s primary means of making a living, along with hunting. They’d quarry stone by hand, Klune said. Then they’d sit outside their homes carving sculptures that often depicted everyday activities, such as hunting, in soft stone such as soapstone and serpentinite, using nothing more than a knife and a file. “They said the stone or bone would talk to them. They’d feel the stone and see where it would lead them,” said Klune who staged her first show of Inuit art in 1982 at a California gallery—14 years before she moved to Sun Valley. Klune’s collection includes soapstone sculptures by such famed Inuit carvers as Abraham Anghik Ruben and David Rubin Piqtoukun. She also has prints by Pudio Pudlat. The late

printmaker became fascinated with helicopters after seeing one for the first time during a visit to New York, she said, and often included them in his more traditional scenes of Inuit villages. Knowledge of Inuit art is increasing as more people take trips to the Arctic, said Klune. “They’re a very spiritual people,” she said. “They take that stone and give it life.”

Murphy Seeks to Make a Difference BY JONATHAN KANE

W

ood River High School senior Erin Murphy is a bright-eyed, vivacious and extremely confident young woman. What else would you expect from a National Honor Society member carrying a 3.7 grade point average and with a bright future in engineering or graphic design? Murphy was born at Moritz Community Hospital in Sun Valley and has lived here her whole life. Along the way, she has attended Hemingway Elementary, Wood River Middle School and now the high school. She also splits her time between her dad’s house in Cold Springs and her mom’s house in Deerfield. “It’s easier to be in Hailey because of school,” she said. “But I love the atmosphere of Ketchum so much more, even though I spend a lot of gas money going up there. Of course, the mountain is there and there are a lot of tourist attractions.” As to growing up here, Murphy says, “Everyone’s always telling you how lucky you are to be living here and I’m starting to realize that myself. A lot of kids say there’s nothing to do but we’re truly blessed. There’s skiing, the mountain and all the hiking and camping. And the people are awesome, especially the locals in Ketchum. When you leave the Valley you get a sense of how friendly everyone is here and you really grow to appreciate it.” Murphy recently had the opportunity to spend a month in Seattle to study art. “I really loved it there. There are so many different people and the day I arrived was Gay Pride Day. Oh, my gosh! It was so different from what I had been used to, but it was amazing. The other thing is that you walk everywhere and there is so much art and crazy people and so much variety. It was just a great experience. When I got home I wanted to bring the Seattle experience with me and walk wherever I went, but it takes so much effort and that didn’t last too long.” Of course, for a young person there is always the downside to the Valley. “Sometimes there is not as lot to do if you’re young, and the winters can be long and brutal. Also there is the problem that everyone knows everyone else and everything that everyone does. But I’ve gotten used to it.” At Wood River, Murphy immerses herself in schoolwork, the Environmental Club and her passion for soccer. She is also a member of National Honor Society, which is based upon grade point average and community service, both inside and outside of class. “I really like Wood River. A place like The Community School would

just be too small for me. A lot of people complain about it, but it depends upon what classes you take and what teachers you work with. But I think you can get the same education as at The Community School. The teachers are awesome there [at Wood River]. Some kids think they’re out to get them, but they’re really on your side. Most of them are down-to-earth and they enjoy their students and what they do.” Last year Murphy took Advanced Placement language and composition and this year she is taking A.P. government and statistics. Her favorite subjects are math and science and this year she is really enjoying applied physics. “Writing can be a judgmental sport and the teacher decides how well you’ve done. Math and science is either right or wrong and I love that aspect of it. I want to go into engineering or graphic design, but I like a lot of things, so I don’t really know what direction I’ll go into. I’m especially interested in environmental engineering, which is to make more environmental solutions through engineering.” Murphy pursues her environmental causes by being a member of the Environmental Club for the last three years. “We try to act to locally make a change in the environment and to make people more aware. Of course, we were bummed that the plastic bag initiative didn’t pass in Hailey, but we just didn’t have the money to fight special interests.” Murphy is excited, though, about a trip this spring to Costa Rica to study turtle habitats with the club. “It’s pretty exciting and a chance for us to make a difference.” You can be sure that she will be making quite a difference in the future. tws

Christmas Tree Recycling Fundraiser for Wood River High School Music Dept.

Last spring the Wood River High School Music Department travelled to Anaheim, Calif., to compete in the Heritage Music Festival. After months of fundraising, including raffles, selling candles, Christmas tree recycling and donations from The Papoose Club, they chartered three buses and headed to Anaheim. At the close of the competition, Wood River High School had won the top prize: the prestigious Festival Sweepstakes trophy. This spring they are going again, and the band students are pooling together their trucks, filling them up with gas and preparing for the third annual Christmas tree pickup and recycling event on Saturday, January 7th. For a $10 donation ($20 for trees over 8 feet) the students will gladly stop by your home, pick up your tree and take it to be recycled. Each student must personally raise $450 to take the trip. Last year the students hauled 120 trees, and this year they hope to recycle even more. Please call 481-0389 to be put on the list, and thank you!

Burchmore at Smithsonian

C

ommunity School student Tara Burchmore shared a moment with Harry Gwinnell in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery last month after accepting an award for a video she made from the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation. She was one of a half-dozen students nationwide named a winner. Burchmore, daughter of Mike Burchmore and Shannon Finnegan, made a video about speedy sneakers with the help of her younger brother who served as the model. Finnegan said her daughter was impressed by the beautiful portrait gallery and thrilled with the response of the 200-plus people in the audience, especially when the speedy running she portrayed in her video got a big laugh. Burchmore was part of a team at Hemingway Elementary School that won a national contest for a video a few years ago. COURTESY PHOTO

acing resumed in Lienz, Austria, on Dec. 28, where the season’s third giant slalom and the fourth slalom for the women was run. After several podium finishes, Austria’s Anna Fenninger broke through with a win in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. American Lindsay Vonn finished fifth and added to her overall and giant slalom lead. Lindsay and Anna should continue to do well on these longer, tiring slalom and giant slalom courses, some of which top out at 2:30 minutes. As usual, Austria’s Marlies Schild ruled the slalom. She reminds one of the dominant Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden back in the day. Her margin of victory was, again, over a second. The surprise run was made by a young American high schooler from Vail, Colo., Mikaela Shiffrin, who finished third. Shiffrin was 12th after the first run, but her great second run posted the best time. Still, she finished 1:30 seconds behind Schild. In doing so, she became the youngest American with a podium slalom finish since Tamara McKinney

ballard street comic strip

in 1978. Slalom is clearly the weakest U.S. event. Vonn, also from Vail, finished 18th, and kept her comfortable overall lead. Meanwhile, the men were in Bormio, Italy, for the downhill on Dec. 29, held on the alwaysexciting Stelvio course—fun, bumpy, fast and scary! Swiss Didier Defago, coming back from knee surgery, won, with fellow countryman Patrick Kueng second and Klaus Kroell of Austria, third. Both racers had excellent training runs the day before. Bode Miller was fifth, and just missed the podium by .36 seconds. He stands first in the downhill rankings on the strength of his win at Lake Louise. His newfound consistency bodes well for U.S. team prospects, especially since the Austrians and the Swiss are loaded with talent. Racing resumes in Zagreb, Croatia, on Jan. 3, 2012, followed by a full weekend of racing in Austria and Switzerland. If you want to get day-after videos of the runs, go to www.universalsports.com. Meanwhile, let us all pray for snow. tws

J

im Keller, a patroller for the Blaine County Recreation District, was among those lapping up the two feet of snow that fell on the Harriman Trail and loops around Galena Lodge this past week. The fresh snow brought snowmobilers to the Baker Creek area. It provoked a few small slides in the mountains opposite the Harriman Trail and on the peaks on the way to the Amber Lakes trailhead behind the SNRA. It also provided the impetus for a big bull moose to sun himself in view of skiers and their dogs skiing the Harriman Trail two kilometers north of the SNRA parking lot as he waited for the snow to melt off his antlers. Meanwhile, the fresh snow allowed Sun Valley Resort to open the Bowls, meaning nearly everything on Baldy is open for business. Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/SUN

briefs Warren Miller Exhibition at Ski Museum The Ketchum-Sun Valley Ski & Heritage Museum is hosting Warren Miller and the Art of Ski Cinematography in the Ski Museum through April 2012. The exhibit at the Ski Museum is a collection of vintage ski posters, photographs, movies and cartoons created by Warren Miller prior to the sale of Warren Miller Films. Warren Miller is an American ski and action sports filmmaker. He founded Warren Miller Films and produced, directed and narrated his films until 1988. His credits include over 500 sports films, several books and hundreds of published nonfiction stories. His annual films on skiing are renowned for their stunning photography, witty narrative humor, and the impressive athletes. He has received wide acclaim for his promotion of modern skiing through his films spanning over 60 years and is an iconic figure in action sports filmmaking. Born in Hollywood, Calif., in 1924, Miller quickly took up the hobbies of

skiing, surfing, and photography. Upon his discharge from the Navy in 1946, he bought his first 8mm movie camera. He and a friend moved to Sun Valley, where they camped in the parking lot of the Sun Valley ski resort, living out of a teardrop trailer and earning a living as ski instructors Miller would often show his skiing and surfing films to friends, making jokes about their exploits throughout the showing of the film. When he began to receive invitations to show and narrate his films at parties, it occurred to him that he could turn this hobby into a business. In 1949, Miller founded Warren Miller Films and began a long-standing tradition of producing one feature-length ski film per year. Before long he was showing his films in 130 cities a year.

Author Gretel Ehrlich Talk on Thursday as part of The Center’s Thin Ice Exhibition Perhaps no contemporary author is as enamored of the world’s coldest places as Gretel Ehrlich, whose last three books all have the words “ice” or “cold” in the title (plus a children’s book, A Blizzard Year, and a poetry cycle, Arctic Heart). On Thursday evening, January 5, Ehrlich will be in Ketchum to discuss her experiences in the Arctic as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Lecture Series. Her visit is timed to coincide with The Center’s current multidisciplinary project, Thin Ice: Journeys

in Polar Regions, which includes visual arts exhibitions, films, lectures and a free family activity. Tickets to Gretel Ehrlich’s lecture are $15 for Sun Valley Center members, $25 for non-members and $10 for full-time students with valid I.D. The lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, January 5 at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. Buy tickets online at www.sunvalleycenter.org, call 7269491, ext. 10, or stop by The Center in Ketchum.

he public war on terror crystallizes into private terrors for one woman in Christopher Durang’s newest play, “Why Torture is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them.” The play, a satirical look at America’s growing homeland “insecurity,” is Durang’s attempt to address 9-11, the war on terrorism, secret governments and red, yellow and orange alerts in a black comedy. “And only someone as talented as Christopher Durang can pull it off,” said Jon Kane. Kane will direct a free stage reading of the play at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10, at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The play will star some of the Valley’s most talented actors, including Scott Creighton, Claudia McCain, Charlotte Hemmings, Keith Moore, Richard Rush, Steve d’Smith and Kathy Wygle. Complimentary wine and cookies will be served. The black comedy tells the story of a young woman who is prompted to wonder whether her new husband is a terrorist or just plain crazy. And whether her gun-toting, Fox News-loving father’s hobby of butterfly

“It’s certainly funnier than any TV show you’ll watch that night.” –John Kane

collecting is really a cover for his involvement in a shadow government obsessed with fighting its own personal war on terror by any means necessary. New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley called it “Durang’s funniest play.” Associated Press reviewer Mike Kuchwara called it “a hilarious, topsy-turvy look at a world that is definitely off kilter.” And Bloomberg News reviewer John Simon called it a “carnival of lunacy” that swept him into its “joyous whirligig.” Kane said he believes this is Durang’s funniest play to date. “I’m as excited about this play reading as any I’ve done,” Kane said. “It’s certainly funnier than any TV show you’ll watch that night. It’s just a great evening of tws theater.”

Scott Creighton, who performed a number of goofy characters in “Tuna Christmas” in 2003, will be among the actors participating in Tuesday’s play reading of “Those Who Love Terror.”

he silence speaks volumes at the mid-week Taize services at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Interspersed between hymns and chants, the periods of silence offer the two or three dozen celebrants a chance for prayer and meditation as they focus on an icon titled “Christ of Sinai.� “Sometimes we read a scripture. Then we have a moment of quiet. When we read that same scripture again, I often find it has become much more profound. It’s as if you think you’ve heard what it’s saying. Then when you hear it again after you’ve reflected in silence, it takes on a deeper or more profound meaning,� said Jeanne Cassell. Taize—pronounced Tay-zee— takes its name from the Taize community of France founded by a man known simply as Brother Roger in 1940. Brother Roger, who spent a lot of his time as a boy meditating while recovering from tuberculosis, was helping refugees prior to World War II when he founded the monastery in Burgundy, France, in hopes of drawing men of different faiths to teach community and reconciliation. He worked tirelessly to heal the divisions between Christians, churches, even nations, until his death in 2005. The hundred men who make up the Taize community today come from 25 countries and have worked with the poor in Calcutta—and even Hell’s Kitchen in New York City. Up to 10,000 more men and women flock to the monastery each summer to share in prayer and song. And many more meet for services like the one at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. St. Thomas began holding

Taize services several years ago, greeting the dark of each winter with Taize candles. They start their Taize services during Advent season and continue through the end of February. Each celebrant enters the darkened church, candle in hand. “The candle itself is part of the magic,� said Penny Monger. “And as I settle in I find myself ‘in the zone,’ hypnotized by the guitar music.� Typically, the service consists of a few short readings of “Psalms� and other biblical passages interspersed with silence. Different voices chime in with short intercessory prayers alternated with musical chants from the Taize community that beckon, “Come fill our hearts with peace.� Celebrants finish with The Lord’s Prayer. “I love the music and I love the silence,� said Georgia Stewart. “I’ve done quiet prayer for years. And the music is so simple everyone can sing it. It’s very appealing.� “When I chant, it’s almost like a vibration I feel in my whole body,� said Marcia Liebich. “But the aspect I love most is the silence—it almost gets to the point where it gets uncomfortable. But, coming in the middle of the week as it does, I find it’s very relaxing.�

Join your Baby, Waddler, or Toddler in this unique ten-week program that: Gary Hoffman painted these in the style of contemporary American abstract expressionist Mark Rothko for the staged production of “Red,� which will take place Friday and Saturday at the nexStage Theatre. Hoffman said the paintings gave him a keener insight into the workings of Rothko’s techniques and concepts. “One of the things I quickly discovered was that abstract expressionism is not as easily mastered as it looks!� COURTESY Photo

‘Red’ Explores Mind of Abstract Expressionist

Ben Burdick, Jerome Graduate and Actor, first stage appearance in Idaho BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

f you’ve ever looked at an abstract painting and said, “Why, I could do that!â€? you might want to sit under the spell of American playwright John Logan’s “Red.â€? The play, which opened in December 2009 in London, gets inside the mind of Mark Rothko, one of the founding fathers of abstract expressionism in America in the 1940s and 1950s. A Ketchum man is presenting a free staged reading of it, complete with props and movement, at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday night at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. “ ‘Red,’ named for a very red abstract painting that will be viewed on stage, was the toast of the 2010 theater season on Broadway,â€? noted producer Gary Hoffman. “It won six Tony Awards, including one for Best Drama—it doesn’t get much better. And as far as I know, we’re the first theater company in the nation outside New York to perform it,â€? added Hoffman, who snagged the rights just as they became available. Hoffman will play Rothko. Ben Burdick, a professional actor from Los Angeles and son of Idaho Supreme Court Justice Roger S. Burdick, will co-star as Rothko’s newly hired assistant. Essentially, the play becomes “a combative Socratic dialogue between teacher and pupil,â€? said New York Times reviewer Ben Brantley. “Rothko, you see, wants to be understood. And that requires understanding the whole history of Western painting, and Nietzsche and Freud and Jung and Shakespeare, to cite just a few of the cultural names that are not so much dropped as flung here,â€? wrote Brantley.

One of the highlights of the play, according to Hoffman, will be the painting of a Rothko masterpiece on stage. Hoffman, Deanna Schnell and Diana Fassino also have painted five other copies of Rothko’s paintings for the play. “To do this play properly, you have to put his work on stage, so I’ll be painting all the time the characters are talking about it. Fortunately for me, I’ll be doing the painting on a not-so-lit stage,� quipped Hoffman. Opinionated, egotistical and pedantic, Rothko possessed a driving force, passion, towering intellect and an unwillingness to compromise for the almighty dollar. In one startling twist, for instance, he returned the money he’d accepted to paint murals for New York’s Seagram Building and donated the murals instead to the Tate Museum of Modern Art in London. “Like Vincent Van Gogh, Rothko is a tragic art figure— not entirely stable. It’s amazing to think that we have ‘Vincent’ and now this back to back at the nexStage Theatre,� said Hoffman. Burdick, a graduate of Yale’s improve/comedy troupe Viola Question, was chosen as a regular on the TV series “Born Free� within a year of moving to Los Angeles following graduation in 1995. Since, he has worked on a number of TV shows, including “The Mentalist,� “Monk,� “24,� “Entourage,� “CIS,� and “Crossing Jordan.� His film credits include “Tattoo, a Love Story,� “Walking Tall 3,� and “The Board Room.� Burdick, who will come to Ketchum following a theater role in “Gods of Carnage� in Florida, babysat the children of Hoffman’s wife Connie when he was a teen-ager growing up in Jerome. This will be his first time on the stage in Idaho, Connie Hoffman noted. Although the show is free, donations will be accepted on behalf of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, which is the nonprofit co-partnering with Royal Larkspur Play Troupe on this production. tws

Blues From the Garage BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT KSKI 103.7

D

an Auerbach and Patrick Carney are The Black Keys, a duo who can make drums and guitar sound like an entire band. The Black Keys have grown from a garage blues band to a force to be reckoned with, having won two Grammy Awards for their last album, Brothers. Obviously not a band to rest on their laurels, they immediately returned to the studio with Danger Mouse on the production knobs and came up with El Camino, their eleven-song opus that takes them ever so much closer to rock-godness. “Lonely Boy,” the lead-off track, starts off with gutbucket guitars and bare-bones drumwork, but the song soars into roaring perfection by the time it gets to the chorus: “Oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting.” Danger Mouse adds flourishes throughout the album, but he lets Auerbach and Carney do what they do best, making stripped-down indie blues rock to shake your butt to. Imagine

if Led Zeppelin was comprised solely of Jimmy Page and John Bonham—would they have made it as far as The Black Keys have in the short nine years of their career? I know what I’m suggesting is blasphemy, but what would rock ‘n’ roll be without blasphemy? With songs like “Little Black Submarines” and “Dead And Gone,” The Black Keys’ El Camino is the best thing to come out of the garage since your brother’s 1979 Trans Am. But you don’t have to worry about anyone seeing you in your tws Members-Only jacket.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a way of bumping into exactly the person who has been on your mind. You’ll do this again before the week is up. You have a strong feeling about the person you soon will encounter, and in some way you’re getting ready for it in the early part of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just because you are an honorable and decent human being doesn’t mean you always take the best action. You will spend moments in retrospect this week, wishing you had made a different choice. But it won’t end there. You’ll have the chance to do things differently, and you’ll seize it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be careful about how you define your experience. If you see your life through a lens of negativity, it will only bring more of the same. Find the absolute most positive way to think about your activities. Do this not because it will make you a better person, but because it will make life easier for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Note where your thinking is limiting, and put it to the test. You can question the idea without questioning your own mind. Also, just because you recognize certain lines of thought as irrational doesn’t mean you can stop yourself from thinking them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have taken risks in the past and come out ahead. Past perils spring to mind, and you realize that things turned out much better than they might have. You’ll mentally be adding new items to a long list of blessings. Each day the week progresses, you will think of more reasons to be grateful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can program yourself to some degree, but not completely. You’re not a robot. You can’t help but have human feelings, so don’t try to suppress them in favor of strictly logical choices. Just because something is logical doesn’t make it intelligent. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be flattered by the attention you receive from someone who has very little time and many choices about where to invest it. When you see things from this person’s perspective, you’ll realize what you need to do to move your life toward one of your cherished goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your solo efforts will be halted. There will be someone to assist you in getting things done. This person may not seem to be much help at first. He or she needs to be taught what to do. The instructive period will be minimal, though, and soon you’ll fall into a productive groove. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). True, there’s a bit of an ego rush in knowing that you tried really hard to accomplish something and were finally able to do it. But the struggle of “trying hard” isn’t as necessary to the process as you think. You’ll be happier when you skip the drama of an activity and simply get it done. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You value yourself, and you know what you have to offer is worthwhile. Therefore, it’s not necessary to try too hard or really even to try at all. You simply offer what you have. If there are takers, great, and if not, that’s great, too. It just means more for you and yours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Take things step by step, one at a time. It’s what will be most satisfying to your standards. You may find that some of your goals are too ambitious or perhaps just undefined. Give more thought to what you want, and then write it down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no use in pretending to be someone others will need and want, because if the real you isn’t feeling needed or wanted, the victory will be hollow. You understand this attraction secret well, and you’ll get the opportunity to embody it this week. You’ll be loved for who you are. tws

movie review

Life, Love and a Talking Dog Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

I

must confess that I’ve come late to the new film Beginners (recently released on DVD). But that doesn’t make it any less brilliant a piece of work and certainly, along with Buck, one of the best movies of the year. Expertly weaving between three time frames, the poignant study of a man reluctant to love will leave you spellbound in its rhythms, textures and incredible performances. Most of the credit belongs to its writer and director Mike Mills (Thumbsucker) who has woven an autobiographical tale of a graphic designer for rock bands, a profession that Mills pursued until filmmaking, that will resonate with you long after the movie ends. Such is the testament to this extremely gifted new filmmaker. The story is about a middleaged man (Ewan McGregor) who is forced to deal with his father’s (Christopher Plummer) death from cancer and his own

personal demons. Plummer has only recently come out of the closet at the age of 75 as a gay man six months after the death of his wife of forty years. The story illustrates this along with his battle that will take his life with flashbacks to McGregor’s strained childhood. Deep in mourning, he attends a costume party where he meets a love interest played beautifully by Melanie Laurent (Inglourious Bastards) and the story follows his attempt to release his fears and fall in love. Along the way is his dad’s Jack Russell terrier that steals the show with his Zen-like communications through subtitles. The performances of the three leads couldn’t be better and all are Oscar worthy when the awards are handed out. Plummer shines as a man battling death and reveling in his new life as a gay man and McGregor gives a superb performance as a conflicted man struggling to make sense of his feelings. It is his finest performance since he burst on the scene in Trainspotting. Laurent is a talent to watch as her subtle beauties steal your heart as well as McGregor’s. Beginners will also steal your heart and is one not to miss. tws

he guttural sounds of the didgeridoo reverberated around the walls of The Community Library’s lecture room on Thursday as Australian aboriginal artist Wukun Wanambi sang a song of his native Arnhem Land. The performance and accompanying film clips, organized by Ketchum gallery owner Julie Harvey, marked the 97th program that took place at the library this year. That eclipsed last year’s number by nearly 20. If a few speakers hadn’t cancelled, the library would have finished out the year at an even hundred. Absolutely amazing when you consider the library hosted a fraction of such events just six years ago. Part of the reason for the uptick is executive director Coleen Daly’s increasingly aggressive push to bring engaging speakers to the library as part of the library’s mission to be “relentlessly relevant.” Last Wednesday’s very engaging program featuring a Churchill Centre Director Lee Pollock, who introduced the relatively new film, “Walking with

magine how much trash you could prevent from going to the landfill or the recycling bin if you knew it was compostable! Wood River Recycling (WRR), in partnership with Blaine County, is exploring the development of an organics recycling facility.

Updated Backcountry Skiing Proposal

Sun Valley Trekking, Sawtooth Mountain Guides, and Sun Valley Helicopter Ski Guides have decided to modify the proposal submitted to the Forest Service in November requesting that they be authorized to outfit and guide backcountry ski-touring clients on Bald Mountain, both in- and out-of-bounds. Modifications to the outfitter’s Operations Proposal include: A new map reducing the out-ofbounds area requested for guiding. A reduction in the number of service days (authorized clients) requested—from 200 to 66 days for each outfitter; 198 total guided service days are now requested rather than 600. Clarification that Sun Valley Company is not a proponent or a direct partner in this proposal. With these modifications now available for the public to consider, the Forest Service has decided to accept public comments on the proposal through Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012. A short synopsis of the outfitter’s modifications and a revised map of the proposed operating area are available at the Ketchum Ranger Station, 206 Sun Valley Road, Ketchum, Idaho, and on the Sawtooth National Forest website at www.fs.fed.us/r4/sawtooth in the Quick Links box. Comments should be sent to: Ketchum Ranger District, P.O. Box 2356, Ketchum, ID 83340, Attn: Joe Miczulski.

Bog in a Box

M

ichael and Chelle Webb brought their Bog in a Box to Ketchum Kitchens during the Christmas season as they showed how they grow cranberries at their Bouncing Berry Farm at Bandon-By-The-Sea, Ore., for the Cranberry Apple Delight they were selling at Ketchum Kitchens. Michael Webb said that each spring hooks on the cranberry plants develop into flowers, which attract bees that pollinate the plant. The hook resembles a crane—hence the name crane berry which, over the years became shortened to cranberry. Come harvest time, harvesters wear bog shoes with what resemble cleats on the bottom so they can walk through the bogs without smashing the berries. Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/SUN

briefs Home Affordable Refinance Program extended to 2013

brain games

Sudoku: Gold

The Home Affordable Refinance Program, otherwise known as HARP, is designed to help you get a new, more affordable, more stable mortgage, even if the value of your home has declined. Established in 2009 by HUD, the Home Affordable Refinance Program provides an option for homeowners to refinance mortgages ‘under wate.’ What’s new since October 24, 2011? These HARP guidelines are: • The maximum Loan To Value (LTV) cap has been removed for homeowners looking to refinance into a fixed-rate mortgage. For homeowners asking to refinance into an adjustable-rate mortgage, the LTV is 105 percent. • You must live in the home being refinanced. • The homeowner must be able to afford the new lower payment. • The current mortgage must be up to date with no late payments in the last 12 months. • The appraisal process has been streamlined; in cases where an automated value can be determined, an appraisal will not be required. If you have been turned down for a loan refinance in the past three years, BCHA encourages you to check back with your lender to further evaluate your eligibility. HARP has been extended to December 31, 2013. The problem in the past with HARP was that a person’s home had decreased in value more than 25 percent, and yet the LTV was set at 125 percent. Now that the LTV percentage has been removed, you could possibly qualify for a loan refinance even if your home value is 50 percent of your current loan. Please contact BCHA for further clarification of this information and resources to other questions you may have regarding home ownership, programdirector@bcoha.org

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, Three years ago I was the one who wanted a puppy. Despite my wife's hesitation, we got one. Now I realize that I had no idea how much work it would be. This dog had energy. She needed multiple walks every day just to try and tire her out. However, it still wasn't enough as she proved by chewing the corners off our end tables. It's been three years and our dog still has that energy, but at least now she's well trained. This time though, the tide has turned. My wife saw an ad for a small two-year-old Beagle, named Barney, who needs a home. Now she wants to adopt this dog. But I just replaced the end tables. I love dogs, but I don't know if this is a good idea. How can I tell if I'm ready for another four-legged friend?

• • • Cash: Well, if you have a new set of end tables, it sounds like you're all prepared! Carry: Deciding on a second dog can be a big step. It’s nice to think about two wagging tails that can greet you at the door when you come home, but you also have to consider the training

involved to keep them from chewing your tables. Cash: Believe it or not, it's a good thing that your first dog had so much energy. It may have forced you to work on training the dog more diligently. Even though the end tables may have been sacrificed in the process, it sounds like both you and the dog turned out okay. Carry: Considering a Beagle as a second dog may be a good idea since the breed tends to be a little calmer. And now that you're experienced in training, the process may be easier for you. Cash: It may be easier for the new dog as well. Dogs often pick

up habits from other dogs faster than they do from people. So having one dog that is well behaved can help expedite the training. Carry: Determining if you're ready for a second dog is something only you and your wife can decide. It's important to realize that although they may keep each other company, the dogs will probably want your attention most of all. Therefore, it is very important that you dedicate time and energy to spend with them. Cash: Although to play it safe, you may want to put your new end tables in storage for a few months.

Picking the right name for your dog can be tricky. If you're having trouble, try taking the dog's breed or temperament into account. For example, for large dogs that have a dominating personality, a sharp, snappy name is best. Names with a strong consonant, like Rex or Kiki, may help you keep control. For smaller breeds that are quick or have a nervous temperament, try a soothing name with a soft consonant. Names like Fifi or Bugsy may help keep them calm.

Snoop-Dog

Charles Shultz created Snoopy, the famous beagle from the comic strip, Peanuts, on October 4, 1950. Snoopy was said to have come from the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. Although it was often stated that he came from a litter of seven puppies, only five were ever mentioned in the strip. Throughout the years, Shultz introduced Snoopy's other siblings: his brother Spike was the most frequent; Belle was his only sister; Marbles was the smart one of the litter and Olaf and Andy were shown living together on a farm. While the comic strip is no longer written, it lives in syndication every week. •

Reader Humor Frisky

I'm a real sap when it comes to dogs, but I realize they can be a lot of work. However, when I saw an ad for a 6month-old Chocolate Lab, I had to call. He sounded perfect, with one exception. The ad clearly stated that the dog was EXTREMELY energetic. Concerned, but not deterred, I called the ad and spoke with a middle-aged man about the dog. He told me that the lab was very friendly, but did require a lot of hands-on training that he couldn't do. As we continued talking I asked, "Is he housebroken?" With a deep sigh the man replied, "Well, he's broken just about everything in my house."

The Knob Hill Inn remodel and new additions are all outstanding!!! Realhy hope 2012 proves to be a very successful one for that sometimes shamelessly overlooked and./or woefully underrated hotel, bar and eatery. Kudos all ‘round to Marc Mast and his Valley-based http://www.WoodRIverAbilityProgram,.org -- not only for the verrrry positive accomplishments that WRAP has helped

make in various visiting people’s lives here, but also all the ones it’ll undoubtedly make in 2012 and beyond. An awesome, awesome organization!! :) Scores of eateries have come and gone since I first move to this Valley (in 1991), but Jesse’s Country Grill (in Bellevue) has stood the test of time -- and deservedly so; their food, selection, prices and service are all really outstanding!! I’d happily wak from Ketchum (and back) for one of your killer omelettes, guys!! Like something? Don’t keep it to yourself. Say it here in 40 words or less for free. e-mail your ad to classifieds@theweeklysun.com or fax it over to 788-4297 by Noon on Mondays.
