I guarantee that they’ll have people up on their feet and likely dancing in the aisles!” H’Sao got its start in Chad, a former French territory in Central Africa, when siblings Caleb, Mossbass, Taroum and Israel Rimtobaye began singing in the church where their father was pastor. Lacking the money to buy instruments, they developed a distinctive and proficient a cappella style. As they began performing publicly in the mid-1990s, they added Charles and Service Ledjebgue to the group. In March 2001, H’sao was selected to represent Chad at a festival in Ottawa, and the band relocated to Montreal that summer. Invitations started pouring in—Montreal International Jazz Festival, Festival Nuits d’Afrique, Francofolies de Montreal, Festival des Musiques du Monde. H’Sao has filled concert halls in Sweden, Ireland, the United States, Colombia, Canada, South Africa and Australia with vibrant African rhythms and hopeful words. While in the Wood River Valley, H’Sao will be doing a school residency, performing at Woodside, Bellevue, Hailey and Hemingway elementary schools. tws

Jonna Mendes, who took to Baldy Monday morning with Community School Headmaster David Holmes, says it didn’t feel that fast racing downhill at 94 miles per hour. It’s only when you make big turns that it feels scary, she said. While Europe’s mountains are bigger than those in the United States, the snow there is not as good, she added: “Skiing in Europe made me appreciate the snow we have in the West.”

“I assist coaches in any way I can be most helpful. Maybe I offer another perspective for a young racer who isn’t quite getting the drills. Mostly, a lot of kids just want to know where I was at their age — what kinds of things I was doing at their stage.” –Jonna Mendes

Breaking the Ice BY KAREN BOSSICK

ames Balog will put aside rappelling into an icy crevasse long enough to trod another slippery slope—that of trying to convince an audience that climate change is real and needs tending to. Balog will speak at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. The lecture is part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Lecture Series and in conjunction with The Center’s current multidisciplinary project, “Thin Ice: Journeys in Polar Regions.” Balog is the founder of the Extreme Ice Survey, the most wide-ranging photographic study of glaciers ever conducted. When he goes to the office, he dangles off cliffs to survey glaciers with time-lapse cameras and other equipment to see if glacial melt is speeding up or down. It’s no small task, considering temperatures can dip to minus-40 and winds can blow 160 miles per hour. “The Extreme Ice Survey is one of those projects that sounds impossible to pull off—27 timelapse cameras at 18 glaciers in some of the most difficult-toreach places on the planet,” says Britt Udesen, The Center’s Director of Education and Humanities. “And yet James Balog and his team accomplished it. His absolutely dazzling multimedia presentation is a perfect companion to the artwork on view in Thin Ice.” In addition to providing some beautiful art, the work provides evidence that changes are unfolding faster than we can understand why. Alaska’s Columbia Glacier, for instance, is retreating a half-mile a year as meltwater fractures ice. Scientists who study it believe it may be past its tipping point.

Get sky-bound

Tickets to Balog’s lecture are $15 for Sun Valley Center members, $25 for non-members and $10 for students, available online at www.sunvalleycenter.org, by calling 726-9491 or at The Center in Ketchum. While in Sun Valley, Balog will also visit local schools. This lecture is sponsored in part by Jeanne Meyers and Richard Carr, and Richard and Judy Smooke, along with Lecture Series sponsors Gail and Jack Thornton, the Castellano-Wood family and Boise State Public Radio.

In the past, Balog says, changes were part of earth’s natural orbit around the sun. Now, humans seem to be driving the change. Researchers like Balog fear the rapid melt could displace people as water levels rise and deplete drinking water. “The evidence is in the ice,” said Balog, himself a climate change skeptic. “Shrinking glaciers are the canary in the global coal mine. They are the most visible, tangible manifestations of climate change on the planet today.” Balog’s work has been featured in a National Geographic book, “Extreme Ice Now,” a PBS NOVA program and NPR’s Fresh Air. Following his lecture Thursday night, he will head from Sun Valley to the Sundance Film Festival where his EIS project will be the subject of a feature-length documentary, “Chasing Ice,” premiering at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. “James was thrilled to find out that his film was chosen as an official Sundance selection and will premiere there in January. We’re so lucky to have such an influential artist and ecologist here in our Valley,” said Udesen. tws

stensibly, it was a boy and his guitar. Or, at least a freshscrubbed 27-year-old Mattias Jacobsson with a revered acoustical guitar that had been passed to him from his original guitar teacher. The Swedish guitar player left listeners scratching their heads, wondering just how many fingers he had Thursday night as he performed at the Church of the Big Wood. Serious and studied, he coaxed music out of the guitar with a soft delicate touch, finishing each piece that he played by falling back in his throne-like chair with a sigh of relief. At times, he appeared to be playing two melodies at once on his simple six-string guitar. “It sounded like he was playing two guitars at times,” said home school student Lance Verst. “He sounded like he was playing a harp,” said Donna Nelson. The music will shift to the ivories on Feb. 4 when St. Louis Symphony Orchestra pianist

Lee Kranefuss, Mattias Jacobsson and Susan Spelius Dunning share a moment at the reception following Thursday night’s Sun Valley Artist Series concert.

inally, this miniexpedition set off on the trail in the mountains of the Himalayas. It included 13 hikers (‘sahibs’) and our trip Bali Szabo leader, Jack Turner (Western author and now Exuum Mountain Guide in Jackson, Wyo.), 12 sherpas and anywhere from 20 to 40 porters. The sahibs and sherpas carried day packs that contained everything they’d need for the day. The porters carried everything else: the tents, our extra gear, food, tables, chairs, eggs and chickens, and all their own gear and food. Half an hour out from the trailhead, we reached our first stop. Lunch. A certain meticulous organization was evident. On a table, set up in a shaded clearing, was a flowered tablecloth, hot water for cocoa, coffee and tea, hot milk, sugar, crackers, peanut butter and jam and 14 cups and 14 rattan stools, one for each of us. Nearby, the sherpas were cooking their own lunch on one wood fire, and heating water on another. Piles of crates, bulging baskets and duffel bags were everywhere. The sherpas had already divided the loads, and the porters, in measured strides, were moving up the trail. Compared to us, the porters were carrying mountains—duffel atop duffel, a tent and several odds and ends tied on for good measure. Their large baskets, characteristically strapped to their foreheads, occupied their entire back. Crammed tight until there was not an inch to spare, they might as well have been full of rocks, they weighed so. Barefoot and doubled over, they moved with a timeless patience that was in their very bones. Carrying loads over mountain trails was a way of life here. This was Central Asia of the caravans. That didn’t change the fact that, as men, they were now beasts of burden and, like all such, moody and at times rebellious. While the sherpas laughed and sang, the porters moaned. I didn’t linger long over lunch, and took off after the porters.

Tamang father and son, Central Nepal.

The sherpas may have been popular with us (and for good reason), but they were resented here, on the western side of the Khumbu. Here, they were strangers, yet bossy, and better paid than the locals. Mountain valleys breed cultural distinction and a certain cultural xenophobia that is well nigh universal. It is the island effect. There are dozens of languages in rural Nepal. Though only a short distance as the bird flies, everything is different from the Tibetan culture of the Khumbu—the climate, the terrain, the economy, the religion, physiology, skin tone, customs, clothes. Here, geography is destiny. Us poor, primitive humans are still not evolved enough to deal with diversity. I soon passed some porters already at rest, packs still on, propped against an outcropping, smiling, smoking their rhododen-

dron-leaf (they used the rolled leaves as cigarette paper) cigarettes, occasionally laced with marijuana, similar to use of the cocoa leaf in Latin America. We were bunched early in the hike, and I was awed by their ability to move smoothly over these footstabbing trails of jagged-edged, small, slippery rubble. Going up or down, extra pressure had to be put on the weighted foot. They were lugging 75 or more pounds. I could feel some of the rocks through my boots. Obviously, the soles of their feet were well-seasoned by years of similar use. Walking behind one, I could hear the low, coarse moans, one with each step. The sound emanated from his entire body, not just his throat. The pain was an intimate part of him, like his breath. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

briefs Executive Director Colleen Daly Departs Community Library The Community Library Association (CLA) in Ketchum has announced the imminent departure of executive director Colleen Daly. A search committee will be formed to seek her successor. Daly has accepted a position as the development director for the American Academy in Rome (AAR), commencing in February of this year. With activities in New York and Italy, and a budget of $12 million per year,

the AAR is the oldest American overseas center for independent study and advanced research in the arts and humanities. Each year, through a national juried competition, the Academy offers approximately 30 Rome Prize fellowships. William B. Lowe, chairman of the Board of Trustees, expressed deep appreciation for Daly’s outstanding service. “In her almost seven years at the helm, Colleen spearheaded the meta-

morphosis of our library into a vibrant cultural institution geared to serving the community’s needs in a rapidly changing technological environment. We will miss her inspirational leadership.” Colleen Crain, who has served as development director of The Community Library Association since 2007, has been named as the interim executive director.

ew Year’s new actions are even better than well-meant resolutions. Try something each day toward greater sustainability and, before long, you’ll have ingrained habits. Choose the product with less packaging. Think before you buy. Is there already an extra in the cabinet at home? Park the car and walk the few blocks to the next errand on your list. Bring your own cup to the coffee shop for your daily dose. Replace one more light bulb with a CFL (or even better, LED). Consider choosing the item of better quality, though more cost. Repair and make do instead of buying impulsively. Lower the thermostat by a degree. Remember your reusable shopping bag. Rinse off the aluminum foil and put in the recycling with cans. Turn the paper over and print on the back too. Sort the junk mail and recycle appropriately. Opt out of catalogs you do not want to receive. Wash your clothes in cold water—they’ll get clean, I promise! Substitute local produce and meats when you can; non-local organic when those aren’t available. Shop locally. Money spent with our local retail and service economy trickles down and affects us all. Get outside, get moving and get to know our tws beautiful Valley home.

How many of these suggestions can you incorporate this year? Have a question or want to write your own ERCbeat? Contact ERC at 208.726.4333 or reduce@ercsv. org.

Does that favorite vehicle in the garage need some work?

a recipeâ&#x20AC;Śfrom my table to yours Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always considered January as a continuation of the November and December holiday season. As well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed that the packages of cranberries featured in markets across the nation since November also can be procured in January (sometimes at a reduced price). Therefore, I thought that perhaps I would offer to all a nice little Cranberry

Bread Loaf recipe. However, before I do that, just in case you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, according to the Cape Code Cranberry Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association, the cranberry is one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three major native fruits (the others being the Concord grape and blueberries) that are commercially grown. Cranberries were first used by Native Ameri-

cans in the 1500s (and maybe before) for food, fabric dye and healing agents. The Pilgrims learned to use the cranberry from the Native Americans in 1620. In later years, American whalers and mariners carried cranberries on their voyages to prevent scurvy. So, three cheers to that mighty little berry and herewith is the recipe:

Loppet attracted more than 8O racers. There is a possibility due to shortage of snow that organizers will have to stage the race from Prairie Creek to the crossing at Cathedral Pines on the Harriman Trail, said Jenny Busdon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, presently we are hoping that snow will come and Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridge start will be a go!â&#x20AC;? she added. Registration will be the morning of

the race at Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridge parking area between 9:3O a.m. and 1O:3O a.m. Entry fee is $10 with kids 18 years and under free.

Enchanted Island this Saturday, a perfect venue to introduce children to opera Create a story that uses elements from Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tempest and A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream, add arias from 18th-century composers, dress the singers in fantastic costumes, design fantastic sets and you end up with the Metropolitan Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Enchanted Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Metâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ever production of a pasticcio barocco. Pasticcio is an Italian word for pastry, usually sweet but also savory, and commonly applied in the 18th century for a certain kind of opera made up of various pieces from different composers or sources and adapted to a new or existing libretto. The entire family will enjoy this contemporary fantasy co-presented by Sun Valley Opera and Bigwood4

Waits Remains Bad To The Bone BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT KSKI 103.7

became a major fan of Tom Waits during his Rain Dogs period back in the mid-eighties. I had a few of his albums prior to that, but Rain Dogs solidified my love for his barroom growl and penchant for telling tales of the underside of life. Over the years, Tom Waits has taken us on a road trip through his world with sonic explorations that sometimes veered to near-noise, but always brought us back with his lyrical wit and his heady brew of jazz, blues and avant-rhythm & blues.

about to go off the tracks. On his first album of new material in over seven years, BAD AS ME, Tom Waits returns to what he does bestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;telling poetic tales of strange people, woe, redemption and release with his usual clanky, circuslike musical accompaniment. Along for the ride for this time around is a grand amalgamation of musicians who lend their expertise to Waitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aural tapestry; Keith Richards, Les Claypool, Flea, Charlie Musselwhite, David Hidalgo and Marc Ribot all bring something to the table to add to the mix while never taking away from Waitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive narrative. With songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raised Right Men,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Satisfied,â&#x20AC;? and the beautifully sad

s a critic, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always in the position of issuing a disclaimer when trying to watch a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film Jon rated this movie in 3D, especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching it in 2D. Such is the case with the new animated film from Steven Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Adventures of Tintin. The best thing to do when watching a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie is to watch it with two savvy kids. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to report that they enjoyed it thoroughly and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably all you need to know. Although dazzled by the animation, this dim critic had a little trouble with the plot line and that was my main objection. The animation itself is called motion capture and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executed by placing electrodes on the actual actor, which is then translated into computer imagery. It also allows the camera to swoop and sweep into places that a camera canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel. Of course, with Spielberg, this can turn into excess as the action can seem relentless and the 3D effects come fast and furious. Based on a comic strip set in Belgium and originating in 1929, Tintin is a red-haired intrepid reporter whose stories take him around the world with his terrier sidekick, Snowy, in search of adventure. Spielberg has called it a sort of Indiana Jones for kids. In this adventure, the search is for a huge treasure buried at the bottom of the sea in a ship called the Unicorn. Tintin has bought a replica and the search is on for the two other replicas that will provide the secret location. Tintin battles with an evil man played by Daniel Craig with the assistance of a boozy sea captain played by Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings and Rise of the Planet of the Apes). In the end, our heroes put together the clues but the search for the Unicorn is not over. Leave that to a promised sequel directed by Peter Jackson with plenty more 3D adventures to follow. tws

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be comfortable understanding the â&#x20AC;&#x153;grayâ&#x20AC;? area of policies and practices that others do not know how to interpret. You quickly figure out what your advantages are and play to them. An investment you make early in the week will contribute to your long-term financial security. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be involved in a highly competitive realm. Try not to think about the other people who are trying for the same prize you want. To a large extent they are irrelevant. What you really need to do is stay involved in your own scene. Do what makes you feel positive and keep improving. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even though you know there are those who have every advantage, you will refuse to feel limited. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find ways of making the most of the resources available to you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy doing your best with what you have. Suddenly, something miraculous happens mid-week to expand your fortunes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be reminded of the Mary Poppinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adage: A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down. There are ways to take care of business that make life seem sweeter and also a lot more fun. A good-natured friend will help you find those ways and achieve a jovial state of mind along the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your energy is so high this week that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find you can do more in an hour than many can do in a day. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always mean you should though. High productivity will lead to more work. Someone new comes into your life to beg the question: When are you going to make fun a priority, too? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working toward that special moment when everything clicks in and you know what to do next. More than likely, these moments will be preceded by long stages of feeling clueless and uninspired. So when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be doing, consider that to be a sign of greatness to come. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If a comedian tells a joke and no one laughs, the comedian likely needs to change up the content or delivery. Similarly, if you notice that people just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back In The Crowd,â&#x20AC;? BAD AS ME cements Tom Waitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; place in musical history as a musician who can take us to the gutter and back, all the while making us feel like we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a shower afterward. tws responding to you the way you would prefer, it means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little work to be done. Switch it up. Try a new style. Save the show. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear about those in your family or community who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it so great right now. When you step up and help the person who is experiencing difficulties, it not only improves the other personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life instantly, but it also makes you appreciate your own health and good fortune. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your creative energy needs an avenue that involves other people. Take it out of the practice room and onto the stage, so to speak. Your talents are meant to be shared. When you show others what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up to, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll respond in a way that gives you new insight and inspiration. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Instead of sitting around wondering if someone else is planning on taking your relationship to the next level, decide what you want your relationship to look and feel like. Slip into the mindset of already having what you desire. You will actually be able to pretend your way into the next stage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The luxuries and extras are important this week, if only for their symbolic value. Without hope, faith and something to look forward to, life can be dreary indeed. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it upon yourself to cultivate the spirit of optimism in yourself and those around you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus attention on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting and special. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deep doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you have to be sad. People sometimes get that wrong about you, but this week youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn their perception around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll act with an earnest heart and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be serious in intention -but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still find it appropriate to laugh and sing. THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BIRTHDAYS: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a giver. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bond with your loved ones as you interact with them closely throughout the year -- delivering what only you can contribute. Business decisions arise in March. Your advisors have your best interest at heart, but they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you as well as you know yourself. tws

Heaven by Any Other Name

fTZX

Jo Howard, Certified Massage Therapist

engen, Switzerland, the site of last weekend’s (Jan.13-15) men’s speed and skill events, is an alpine heaven. The carless town (train or bus only) is perched on the slope of a glacier-carved valley, lorded over by the Jungfrau and, a valley over, the clearly visible Eiger. Robert Redford’s Downhill Race was filmed here. Thirtyeight thousand red-and-whiteSwiss-flag-waving fans were cheering on their Swiss heroes. Friday’s Super Combined was a repeat win by Croatian Ivica Kostelic, who owns this event. It combines the downhill run with a slalom run, and the two scores are combined. (The SC is an endangered event, much to Kostelic’s chagrin.) Kostelic came from 23rd—3 seconds behind—to best Swiss Beat Feuz by .20 second. After finishing second in the downhill segment, Bode Miller, to his credit, came in third. He won here in 2010. Ligety was sixth. Then came Saturday’s signature event—and the Swiss’s favorite—the downhill. The Laubenhorn is extraordinary in its challenges, complexity and setting among the crown jewel peaks of the Berner Oberland. It is the longest course on the circuit, 2.7 miles, run in 2:35 minutes. The first third features a 180-degree (the Canadian)

turn and a jump over a cliff. The 10-foot-wide track runs down a banked gully, a tunnel and two more 90-degree turns. The sharp turns slow the skiers down before they hit the Super-G section, where they accelerate to over 90 miles per hour. To the delight of the home crowd, the young Swiss Beat Feuz came in first. The sentimental favorite was 37-year-old Swiss Didier Cuche, who at least finished, 1.7 seconds off the pace. Of the 58 racers, all but one finished. Hannes H. Reicheld was second, and the Italian, Cristof Innerhofer, had his first podium finish in third. Bode Miller was having a great run, but took a wrong line (‘I knew better!’), hit some soft snow on a high bank and finished fifth. Over in the Italian Alps, at Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italian Danielle Merighetti, for the first time ever, bested Lindsay Vonn and won the downhill there. Perennial contender and Vonn’s rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch was third. Vonn was buffeted by a ‘wind devil’ at the start, caught too much air on a jump, took some high lines, lost small tics of time all over the course, and still finished second. And she wasn’t done. On Sunday, she won the Super-G, her 42nd career win. She beat the best, because Germany’s Reisch finished second, and the hot Slovenian Tina Maze placed third. Because of the holiday, I couldn’t catch up to the slalom results in Wengen. Next up is Kitzbuehel, and the renowned Hahnenkamm course, second only to the Laubenhorn, and that’s only according to some. tws

student spotlight

Business as Usual for James Petzke BY JONATHAN KANE

or Wood River High School senior James Petzke, life is just business as usual. That is because the young, driven entrepreneur has his sights set high on running his own business and possibly a run at public office as well. As he readies himself to launch his own business in Web design and Web applications (petzkewebsolutions.com), he is poised to merge his considerable talents with his passions to be a success in the business world. Most of his efforts are dedicated to working with the Business Professionals of America, which is a student organization that hosts student competitions on the local, state and national levels. In Idaho alone there are over 2,700 members. “There are various events,” Petzke said. “They include economic research, information and technology events, computer repair and Web design and applications which is the area that I focus on. Basically you build a site with a team and present it to the judges. We’ve been the state champion the last two years and expect to win again this year and we’ve placed in the top ten nationally the last two years and feel we’ll do it again this year. It’s been awesome and amazing to place in the top ten, but this time we’re shooting for the top three.” This year there will be 14 to 18 teams competing locally and the competition will be held next week in Burley. “The topic this time is to create a Web site for Michelle Obama’s program,

‘Move It to Prove It,’ which is to promote better health for teens. We will make our presentations and I am also competing in the economic research project by writing a research report on balancing the federal budget. All in all, there are 40 categories of competition.” Petzke has been involved for four years now. “I took an interest in the BPA and I was good in it at the start and it kept going and going and just escalated. It’s really been a great thing for me. I’ve learned a lot about business skills and public speaking skills. It’s been a huge help overall.” For his senior project, Petzke has also focused on Web design by creating his own business, which he has already launched. “It’s for anyone who wants to hire me,” he said. “The project covered all the fundamentals about building a site. They include creating a business plan, including a budget, a standard contract for clients and building a promotional campaign and the Website itself. My presentation is next week and I plan to carry it on into the future by attracting people who want to design a Website. I’ve already done a lot of work for the Blaine County School District. This included computer repair, Web programming and designing a technology inventory for district computers and creating a community outreach site.” In the meantime, Petzke holds the position of president of the Information and Technology Academy at Wood River, which has an enrollment of thirty students. “It’s an elective that

meets five days a week with a faculty advisor. We focus on computer programming and repair, Web design and game design. We do a lot of things and also have game parties.” Petzke is also the senior class treasurer. “It’s my first year and it’s been great. Basically, I wanted to be more involved with student activities and their planning.” Carrying a 3.6 grade point average, this

busy young man also has time for participating on the basketball, golf and track teams. “I love Wood River and it’s been a great experience for me. The teachers have been great and the extracurricular activities have opened up a whole new world for me.” That exciting world now awaits tws his next move.

Keeping a Nation in Motion

Boulder Mountain Tour Novice-Style PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

ulp. I’d won a prize in a drawing but I was not sure it was a prize I relished. A box of chocolates would have been nice. An invitation to enter the 32-kilometer Boulder Mountain Tour sounded like torture. But my name had been selected in a drawing of those who entered the Blaine County Recreation District’s challenge to ski 200 or more kilometers And so last February I found myself with an opportunity to ski North America’s oldest crosscountry ski marathon—one of 13 in the prestigious American Ski Marathon Series. A racer I am not. I pitched for my Idaho Statesman softball team for 23 years and quarterbacked my college flag football team for four. But ball control doesn’t get you across the finish line. And while I would make a decent endurance horse, I don’t have a single fast-twitch muscle in my body. I don’t own anything in Lycra or Spandex. My 12-year-old skis are like plowhorses. And me? Well, I have one speed. I prefer to ski the outside of curves rather than the faster insides because I like the untouched corduroy on the outside. I’m perfectly happy to cruise down hills. And I know only one skate ski technique—the V1 that Bill Koch—the first American to win an Olympic medal in Nordic skiing—had shown me while I was interviewing him on the windswept logging road that comprises Bogus Basin’s Nordic ski area. Being a reporter has always given me an excuse not to do the Boulder. “I have to cover it,” I’d tell people, as I prepared to watch the Olympic racers who come from around the world each year to race the Boulder. And I was happy to help set up the course in sub-zero temperatures just as the frosty dawn was breaking at Galena Lodge. Maybe it was time for me to see what goes on between the lines, I told myself. Fine and well, until JoAnn Levy stopped me in my tracks. “What are you doing to train?” asked Levy, who at 70 has raced in every one of the 36 Boulder Mountain races. Double gulp. “Uhh……” I’d seen Gabriele Andersen, the Swiss skier best known for making a valiant effort to cross the finish line in the 1984 L.A. Olympics—go up and down the same hill at the Sun Valley Nordic Center over and over as she prepared for the race. But, other than that, I didn’t have a clue. But I still had a week to go, I told myself. So I asked Muffy Ritz if I could join one of her VAMPS ski groups for a clinic. Ritz, who missed making the U.S. Olympic Nordic team by mere seconds, graciously invited me to join the Super-Tramps, a group of uber-women intent on covering the 20-mile track that runs from Galena Lodge to the Sawtooth National Recreation Headquarters at mach speed. Rebecca Rusch, America’s current mountain bike champion, told us how we needed to spend 50 minutes warming up before we ever started the race. “I balked at first,” she said. “I said I’ve got to save myself for the race. But if you don’t do this beforehand, you’ll use the first half-hour of the race to warm up. You might as well be race-ready.” “You want to time your warmup so you’re at the starting line sweaty,” added former ski racer Karoline Droege. “If you’re warm, you’re less likely to be injured. You can react better to falls and you’re not so apt to get

Today is the last day you can register for the Boulder Mountain Tour for $85. Tomorrow the entry fee goes up to $100. The entry fee is $42 for those 17 and under. The Half-Boulder is $63 for adults and $33 for those 17 and under with a parent-child combo of $70. This year’s race on Feb. 4 is being limited to 800 racers. Information: www.bouldermountaintour.com

a cold muscle tear.” The coaches paraded us out on the snow with an exhortation to start out slow before cranking up our speed to what they called Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. I could keep up fine for the first two levels, but I had no idea how to go faster. “Why can’t I kick it up a notch?” I asked Coach E.J. Harpham. “You need some wax on your skis,” she replied. “You need to make your V’s smaller. You ski on your right side, just bringing your left side along for the ride… And… And…” With a couple of days left before the race, there wasn’t enough time to make any changes but one—I could get my skis waxed. The tech at the ski shop offered me three choices: a normal $30 wax job, a $50 wax job that he said would help me pass someone, and an $80 wax that would propel me across dirty, warm snow at the race’s end. “Well, I don’t plan to pass anyone so I’ll take the $30 special,” I told him. The next day, I strapped on my ankle bracelet that would trigger the timing at the finish line, fielding a few pointers from Melissa Franzen of Minneapolis, Minn., as I put it on. “Your first race? Mine, too,” said Melissa. “Her first Boulder,” corrected her husband, Jeff. “She’s done the 50K American Birkebeiner 30 times.” I put on my skis and commenced my warmup on skate lanes that were already icy, thanks to several hundred pair of skis shooshing along them. Then I took my place at the back of 994 racers, trying to keep from sliding backwards on the slight hill for 20 minutes as several other waves of racers started in front of us. “What did you do to train?” I asked 31-year-old Cindy Dondero, who was doing her first Boulder. “I pulled my child around all winter,” she said. Just about that time, the air gun blasted, signaling the start for our wave. I began pushing myself with my poles to the spot where we could begin skate skiing, wishing that I had done a few push-ups to strengthen my arms. I hadn’t finished double poling down the start of the course before a couple of skiers crashed trying to get to the corner. Boxed in by other skiers, there was nowhere I could go. Finally, the two skiers got up and I was on my way—the last skier to get out of the starting area. At the first steep hill, I had to stop two more times for skiers to untangle themselves. I proceeded cautiously, only to have another skier nearly take me out as she lost control trying to snowplow down the icy course. Finally, we crossed the highway heading onto the Harriman Trail. I found myself climbing past other skiers on the hills only to have them pass me on the downhills as I proceeded extra cautiously. We hit our first sign: “25 kilometers.” That’s more information

than I need to know, I thought. I’d rather have a sign that said “7 kilometers,” indicating how far I’ve come, rather than be reminded of how far I have to go. At Prairie Creek, we hit the first of four aid stations. I stopped, hopeful that a couple of bites and a swoosh of liquid would keep me from hitting the wall that racers had warned me about. I stuck half a banana on one side of my mouth and a brownie on the other, washing the two down with a cup of warm Heed energy drink, and resumed skiing. Immediately, nausea washed over me and I felt as if I was going to throw up. No time for that, I told myself as I continued to plug along. By now, a few banana peels, energy gel packets and even a couple broken ski poles were littering the path. Don’t have to worry about slipping on a banana peel, I thought. The snow’s already plenty slippery. As the downhills became more mellow, I began to relax. Bad move. My skis skidded out from underneath me as I tried to make a sharp turn on ice as hard as an ice rink. I careened off the course, leaving an indentation of my butt in the snow alongside a couple of others. Next curve, the same thing happened. Back to being conservative, I thought. “1:25” called out a man sitting on a lawn chair near a summer cabin area, signaling that I’d been out there for an hour. “You’re doing good.” Tricia Swartling, who was racing in her 15th Boulder, had told me earlier in the morning that her teenage daughter Maggie Williams thinks about how hard it is while she’s racing. “But it’s a good hard,” Williams said. “It makes you feel so good at the end.” At my singular pace, it didn’t feel hard. Instead, I felt kind of numb as I moved steadily down the track. I wished I could do a little cruising. But I didn’t. Another aid station up ahead. A woman sitting on the side of the track held out a bottle of beer, which I ignored. Muffy Ritz teaches her VAMPS how to grab a drink while still skiing and then pitch the cup. But these volunteers weren’t holding the cups out where I could do that so I had to make another stop. I got to the halfway point where a couple hundred more skiers waited to start the HalfBoulder. Just as I did, race officials turned the sit-skiers loose. “Get over! Get over!” screamed a Paralympian who insisted on passing me just as I was passing another skier on the track wide enough for two. By this time, the snow was beginning to get slow and grabby. Should’ve gotten that $80 ski wax, I thought. But I pushed on. “1 K.” The sign was a welcome beacon. Then, before I knew it, I was over the finish line, complet-

ing the course in just over two hours—an hour behind Nordic gold medalist Billy Demong and the other skiers who had crossed the finish line first. Darn, I thought for just a few seconds. If I hadn’t had to wait to get around the pile-ups, if I hadn’t careened off course, if I hadn’t stopped so long at the aid stations, if I hadn’t stopped to take pictures… I could have broken two hours! At the finish line, I grabbed a cup of pumpkin soup, another half-banana, shared in a few stories about the race, then started to board the bus back to Ketchum. Then I thought better of it. My husband was out there skiing the 15K Half-Boulder on his slower classic skis. And with the party winding down, I didn’t want him to have to ski across the finish line alone. I hitched a ride 10 kilometers up the road to Cathedral Pines, then set out in search of him. I found him with two other classic skiers in the woods near Murphy’s Bridge and together we scooted our way down the trail. By the time we got to the finish line, the tents had been taken down and the soup kitchen packed up. I would have felt a letdown. But my husband wasn’t fazed. He speeded up a bit, stuck his ski out over the finish line as he’s seen racers do in previous races. Then he grinned from ear to ear. “That was a great ski,” he said. “I want to do that again.” tws

Author’s PostScript:

After learning how much I didn’ t know about cross-country skiing, I opted to take a lesson from the VAMPS this year. And I’ve learned how much more I don’ t know in the wild wonderful world of Nordic skiing. But Muffy and Jessie have tried to give me a few tips on ways to ski that are supposed to be more energyefficient. And I’ve picked up a few more tips from skiers like Carol Rank and Jenny Busdon as I ski along the Harriman Trail. It’ ll take a village. But maybe one of these days you’ ll look at me and say, “She looks like she knows what she’s doing!”

briefs Polar Animals Free Family Day

Families are invited to explore the exhibition Due North: Images of Baffin Island and Inuit Art at The Center in Hailey on Saturday, January 21 from 3 to 5 p.m. and make a small Arctic animal that they can take home. The exhibition at The Center, Hailey, features photographs shot by Wood River Valley resident Ann Puchner on Baffin Island, in Canada’s northernmost reaches, plus a selection of prints and sculptures from local resident Page Klune’s exceptional collection of Inuit art. The Inuit people who live in the Arctic and sub-Arctic have traditionally carved animal figures from soapstone. Working with modeling clay rather than stone, Kim Stocking will help you shape your own polar bear, seal, whale, walrus, puffin or penguin (even though they live in the Southern Hemisphere, but they are a polar animal too cute to omit). The Center’s free Family Day projects are inspired by current gallery exhibitions. Many activities require adults to be hands-on helpers to their children. Drop in anytime between 3 and 5 p.m.—no advance registration necessary. Due North will be on view through February 10. A related exhibition, Thin Ice: Journeys in Polar Regions, is on view at The Center, Ketchum, through February 11. For more information, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call 726-9491, ext. 10.

Dr. Clark Draney to Visit Hailey Library

As part of the Hailey Public Library’s “Let’s Talk About It” book club series, Dr. Clark Draney will lead a discussion of Mary Hallock Foote’s “A Victorian Gentlewoman in the Far West” on January 19 at 6:30 p.m. A library card is not necessary to participate in this club, sponsored by the Idaho Commission for Libraries, Idaho Humanities Council, and U.S. Bank. Draney is a professor of English and writing program administrator at the College of Southern Idaho where he has taught writing and literature for seven years. Among the literature courses he regularly teaches are mythology, American literature after 1865, and introduction to literature. Of Foote’s memoir, Draney says, “Though she was writing in and about an era dominated by mythic male prototypes (think crusty mountain man and swaggering cowboy), Foote’s fiction had more in common with the Bronte sisters than with Jack London or Bret Harte.” Come to the discussion to further investigate the Victorian Gentlewoman. For more information about “Let’s Talk About It,” please call the Hailey Public Library at (208) 788-2036, or visit HPL online at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

OLYMPIAN2, from page 1 world. To train with her, watch her, listen to what she said, was really valuable to me. Our age difference was enough that we became good friends. And I was fortunate enough to be there when she got her gold medal in the Nagano Olympics.” In fact, Mendes and Street talked tactics—something not all their highly competitive teammates did. They also inspected the race courses together with Street pointing out things that Mendes had failed to see, and vice-versa. Street also radioed course conditions to the younger teammate. “I trusted her. I knew she was helping me to be better,” Mendes said. “She also taught me how to be confident. I’m more modest—I was like, ‘Wow! These girls are fantastic and here I am next to them.’ Picabo had more confidence than anyone I know—she thought she was the best—and some of that rubbed off on me.” Mendes likes to think she played a part in Street’s gold medal at the Nagano Olympics, where Mendes competed at age 18. “I rode the chair up with her prior to the race and she had been doing well but not incredibly well. I said, ‘Picabo, I really think you can do it today. I really feel this could be yours.’ To be there to see her win an Olympic medal, much as I had wished it for myself, was unbelievable. To see it all come together on one day, for one run…” Traveling and training with the U.S. Ski Team required Mendes to be away from her classmates the entire winter. She took school tests as she could, after which she got the okay from teachers to move on or to revisit her studies. She missed one of her proms. And, while she relished the excitement of the race circuit, she occasionally lamented the fact that her high school friends seemed to be caught up in a different world. “They did allow me to play varsity soccer even while skiing. When we made the Northern Nevada championship, we won and 10 minutes later I was in a car on the way to ski camp while all my friends were heading off to celebrate,” she said. Skiing taught her valuable life skills, however, she says. “Skiing is all about time management. You’ve got to be on the hill and on time at the starting gate. Everything you do is about planning ahead and being prepared.” One of those who helped Mendes learn self-discipline was Kirsten Clark. “She was a couple of years older, always a little bit better. She had the most incredible work ethic. To see how deliberate and thoughtful she was with every run was good for me. I was always a free spirit, having fun, whereas skiing for her was a career. After I turned 19 I had to become more professional and

she taught me how.” Living, traveling and eating together with teammates they competed against was difficult, Mendes said. “They wouldn’t even let us play soccer together because we were so competitive we would’ve wanted to win so badly that we would have tripped each other and maybe broken someone’s leg. We had to play a lot of volleyball, instead, because it was less dangerous,” she said. “It was sometimes like walking a tightrope—so often your teammate would have an awful day and you’d have a great day. You’d want to celebrate but you’d have to temper it because she was really disappointed.” In Europe the 5-foot-9 Mendes became accustomed to being a superstar akin to New Orleans Quarterback Drew Brees. She recalls stopping for gas one time and no one was there to take their money because the station attendants were watching the World Cup. But she’s resigned to the idea that the only time skiing pops up on most Americans’ radar is during the Olympics. “Skiing will never be one of the premiere events on Americans’ sports calendars because most people can’t relate—most people can’t ski. But we are making some gains—this isn’t an Olympic year, but Lindsey Vonn is in the spotlight.” As Mendes looks back, it’s not her World Cup win that stands out but, rather, a race in Cortina, Italy, near the end of her career. She wasn’t skiing well and she was frustrated and unsure of herself. “So many racers came up and said: ‘It’s okay. You’ll figure it out. You’ll figure it out. You have what it takes. I believe in you.’ That meant a lot.” Many of those racers attended the wedding three years ago when Mendes married Will O’Toole, an associate producer at NBC Sports whom she met while racing in St. Anton, Austria. Her husband left behind his work covering the New York Jets to follow Mendes to Sun Valley this fall without ever having seen the resort. For now, he’s content to be an at-home dad for Declan, their 18-month-old son. “We were in New York for 10 years for his job. It worked out well at the time because it was convenient for flying to Europe. But I was never meant to be a city girl. I knew I wanted to end up in a ski town,” Mendes said. Mendes said she raced in Sun Valley as a teen and loved it. “Sun Valley is one of the best ski areas in the world if you like to challenge yourself. The hill’s challenging—it’s a beautiful place. And the town is contained—everything you want to do in a small area is so accessible,” she said. “Everybody knows this is an amazing place. If you can make it work, there’s no place better.” tws

Mendes Touts Ski Academy

Sudoku: Gold

BY KAREN BOSSICK

s director of recruiting for the new Sun Valley Ski Academy, Jonna Mendes is charged with encouraging youth to leave their families to pursue a ski or snowboard racing career. “I’m talking to the kids about leaving their families and being alone. So you have to know you have something special,” she said. The fledgling academy has all of that, she says. It boasts a topnotch school in The Community School that puts kids into the best colleges and universities in the country. And it offers a solid ski and snowboard program in the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation on one of the best ski mountains and some of the best Nordic tracks in the world. Right now the Ski Academy has 45 students — four of them who reside at the school’s new residence hall in the old Bald Mountain Inn at the base of Warm Springs. School headmaster David Holmes says he’d like to eventually see 50 residential students in a facility that could be built near the school. Mendes says the diversity of the student body that The Community School offers sets it apart from its competitors, which includes New England’s Stratton Mountain School, Green Mountain Valley School and Burke Mountain Academy. “What I like is that the Ski Academy blends skiers and non-skiers. You go to others and it’s all skiers. Here, you have some students who are into drama, some into basketball—they’re just normal kids. To have a sense of normalcy and as normal a high school experience as possible is really important to elite athletes,” she said.“ At the same time, the teachers at The Community School are cognizant of how they can make academics easier for those on the racing circuit, she said. “Just today I got an email from The Community School that outlines the schedule for all the kids— when they’re going to be gone and why the event is important. They have the attitude: What can we do to help them now to prepare for that? That’s pretty incredible because it alleviates the stress on the student.” One student eliminated all his winter courses by taking several courses over the summer, Mendes said. Others took a couple of summer courses, which allowed them to lighten their load this winter. “Ski racing opens up opportunities for kids to attend better colleges,” she added. “When college admissions officers see they’ve skied at a high level while making the grade at a school like The Community School, they’ll sit up and take notice.” Mendes, who retired from the U.S. Ski Team in 2006, is the perfect candidate to recruit skiers from around the country, said Holmes: “She had an exceptional career as a two-time Olympian and a World Cup medalist and she has a wonderful philosophy about skiing and education. She speaks eloquently about how important education is to skiing and she knows the unique challenges associated with balancing a skiing career and education.” tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, We recently moved to a new house with a huge tree in the front yard. My husband's first thought was to cut it down, but I can't image destroying such a beautiful piece of nature. He called a tree service from the newspaper service directory for an estimate and the gentleman told us that we might have the oldest oak tree in the area. Now I'm wondering how old it really is. The trunk is almost 4 feet wide. My husband keeps hinting at cutting it down to count the rings, but that would defeat my hopes of keeping it. Do you guys have any ideas on how to determine its real age without turning it into firewood? â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Cash: If the tree could speak,

you could throw it a birthday party and ask how many candles to put on the cake. Carry: But considering its real age, it would likely tell you 29, like my wife does! Cash: It's obvious a tree of that size has been around a lot longer than any of us. Your husband is correct in that counting the rings of the tree trunk is an accurate way to determine its age.

Fast Facts Aerated

Duane â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cashâ&#x20AC;? Holze & Todd â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carryâ&#x20AC;? Holze 01/15/12 ÂŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Carry: However, cutting it down to count the rings is not the only method. You could hire an arborist or botanist to take a core sample of the tree trunk. The actual rings can then be counted without cutting the tree down and the cored area will heal itself in time. Cash: If you're looking for a simpler method, you can estimate a tree's age by measuring the circumference of its trunk. Wrap a piece of rope around the tree about three feet up from the base where the trunk begins to get more uniform. Carry: The average oak tree grows about 1 inch in circumference every year. Simply measure the length of rope to estimate the

age of the tree. Cash: In your case, a 4-foot diameter tree should have a circumference of about 150 inches, or an estimated age of 150 years. Carry: If you keep the tree, you should consider hiring a tree service to come prune it periodically. Cutting away dead branches and thinning out the crown helps to keep the tree healthy by allowing better airflow and more sunshine to get through. Cash: If you'd like your husband to "leave" the tree alone, simply remind him that a well-aged tree can add considerably to a home's value. That may help him to see more "green" in the tree than just the leaves.

Many of us can appreciate the shade of a beautiful tree on a hot day, but few realize how valuable that tree really is to our health. According to the Washington Arbor Day Council, one fullgrown tree can produce enough oxygen in one year to keep a family of four breathing healthy. On the other hand, it takes some 400 trees to absorb the pollutants produced by just one car in the same period of time. So if you have the room, it may pay to plant an extra tree or two.

Tree Top

The world's tallest living tree was discovered in 2000 in Rockefeller Forest of Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. The tree measured 370 feet tall. While that may seem quite large, it is not the tallest tree on record. That title goes to a Eucalyptus regnans tree found in Victoria, Australia. In 1872, forester William Ferguson reported it at a height of 432 feet and believed to be over 500 feet originally. Although the tree is no longer alive, its record remains. â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

Reader Humor All Fall Down

My yard was completely overgrown with trees so I hired a local arborist to cut a few of them down. As we walked around my yard, I said, "How much for that one?" After a moment to study it, he replied, "$100." When I gave him a nod, he started up his chainsaw and dropped the tree just as planned. "How much for the next one?" I asked. "$50," he replied. Again he dropped it just as planned. We continued like this until the last tree. Unfortunately when he cut it, the tree went slightly left and crashed directly on my grandson's playhouse. Before I could say a word, he looked at me and said, "Tell you what. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge you for that one." (Thanks to Victor G.)
