SKI THE RAILS: Saturday’s Ski the Rails is nothing short of a grand party—a party that stretches 12 miles along the Wood River Trail.

Nordic Fest to Include Marley in the Mountains, Snow Bikes STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

aster skiers from throughout the United States are expected to kick and glide events into Sun Valley Turn to page 12 this week for the for a comprehensive schedule of events. fourth annual Sun Valley Nordic Festival.

They will test their wax and stamina in three races, including the Boulder Mountain Tour, which will be figured into crowning the National Masters champions.

And the party animals among them have the option of joining locals in a variety of entertainment choices ranging from Marley in the Mountains to the Banff Film Festival.

The Marley and the Mountains reggaefest will start at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, outside in the Sun Valley Center for the Arts lot across from the Ketchum Post Office at Fourth and Second streets.

Organizer Danny Walton said the festival, now in its fifth year, is the only annual winter-on-snow reggae festival in the country. The lineup includes Pato Banton of England, Soulmedic of Hawaii, Mega Banton of Jamaica, Voice of Reason from Idaho and Obie Won from Ohio.

“We’ve assembled a stacked lineup of roots and dancehall,” he said.

While Marley in the Mountains adds another layer to the festival, the festival is fast gaining momentum across the United States as a premiere Nordic event, anchored by the Boulder Mountain Tour cross-country ski race, which has evolved into one of the longest running marathon races in the nation since Brent Hansen and Julie Gorton won the first in 1973.

Sun Valley’s recent designation as an Olympic training site for Nordic skiing only adds to that.

Sun Valley’s role in cultivating Olympians will be recognized Wednesday when six skiers, including two-time Olympic medalist Picabo Street, are inducted into the Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame.

Street will be honored in a ceremony at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Ketchum’s nexStage Theatre, along with Elephant’s Perch owner Bob Rosso, Sun Valley Nordic coach Rick Kapala,

copy of a 1963 cover of LIFE magazine hangs in a corner of Dave Dingman’s library, its presence dwarfed by the books and other trinkets stacked up under the cathedral ceiling in his home north of Hailey.

Dingman is one of two men on the cover, which marks the first time an American team has stood atop Mount Everest.

But most friends only learn about Dingman’s involvement as an afterthought. He’d rather talk about the next experimental aircraft he hopes to build.

“It was pretty heady at the time, but I was soon back to working 14 hours a day, so busy working my butt off in an operating room I didn’t think much about Everest for the next 40 years,” said Dingman. “I still don’t think much about it—it is an important part of my past, but I prefer to think of my future and new challenges.”

That said, Dingman will be talking about his trip up Everest for the next few weeks as Americans celebrate the 50th anniversary of the milestone in which Jim Whittaker—a familiar face around Sun Valley—became the first American to stand atop the 29,029-foot mountain.

It’ll start at 6:30 tonight when Dingman appears with Broughton Coburn, the author of a new book about the expedition, at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre.

And it will climax in late February when he joins fellow climbers at a reunion organized by the American Alpine Club in San Francisco.

Dingman was 26 and a surgical resident at the University of Maryland when he was picked to join a team of 19 climbers, 32

PRESENTATION TONIGHT Dr. Dave Dingman will speak briefly tonight when Broughton Coburn presents a look at the first American expedition to Mount Everest as recounted in his new book, “The Vast Unknown.”

The presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre on the Community Campus in Hailey.

Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to the Compassionate Young Leaders Program. The program is grooming 15 high school students to perform service projects in India.

sherpas and 909 porters. He was one of only two clinical doctors on the expedition. “In junior high I found a book in the library about the 1924 expedition with (George) Mallory and that sparked my interest. Growing up in Michigan, I didn’t know much about mountain climbing but I convinced my parents to send me to summer camp in Estes Park—in those days parents sent their kids to camp to evade polio,” Dingman recalled.

“Tom Hornbein, who was on our trip up Everest, was my counselor there. The next year my family vacationed in Jackson and I climbed Grand Teton with Willi Unsoeld, who also ended up on the expedition. By the time Norman Dyhrenfurth assembled his team, I had a track record, having guided for three seasons in the Tetons and having climbed Mount McKinley and some mountains in the Andes.”

The expedition, made up primarily of climbing guides from Mount Rainier and the Tetons, spent a month trekking to base camp from Kathmandu, in contrast with today’s climbers, who

Ski Patroller Scooter cuts a window in the castle, a.k.a. temple.

here’s debate over whether it’s a castle or a temple.

Whatever it is, an edifice of snow has arisen atop Baldy, courtesy of the Sun Valley Ski Patrol.

The patrol built the castle to draw attention to National Safety Awareness Week. Using chainsaws and drills, they cut out windows, making alcoves in which they could post signs reminding people of the skier’s and boarder’s code.

You know, the one that tells you to give the people ahead of you the right of way and exhorts you to look uphill and yield to others when starting up after a stop. “It’s not so hard when you have 66 able bodies to sling snow,� said patrolman Sean Glaccum.

For the remainder of this week a game card involving snow safety will be available from the courtesy patrol—the guys in the yellow coats—and at the ticket sales windows. Kids who solve the puzzles can take their com-

The ski patrol doesn’t expect any Huns to advance on their castle. But as National Safety Awareness Week draws to a close, it’s likely the castle will meet its doom at the hand of the one predator it’s helpless against. “The Beast!� said Whiz McNeal, referring to Sun Valley’s state-of-the-art groomer. “It won’t last long against the ontws slaught of The Beast.�

t’s been 125 years since the controversial poet Ezra Pound laid his head down in Hailey. But a quote of his is etched into one of the doors of Hailey’s new Welcome Center on the rodeo grounds. An open house was held at the Welcome Center on Thursday. Members of the Environmental Resource Center handed out reusable bags with energy-saving bulbs.

few short hours after we bade goodbye to the 23,000-foot Gauri Shankar, we arrived at the Tibetan town of Beding, a much anticipated destination for us. IT WAS STILL IN NEPAL, BUT LIKE IN A LOT OF BORDER REGIONS OF THE WORLD, cultures straddle boundaries.

It was clear at first sight that we were in a different world.

There were no more terraced hillsides and open-basement (for animals) Tamang homes.

We were in a world of stone.

The huddled vegetation clung stubbornly to the land. The town was perched on the steep southern exposure of a narrow valley. The houses, massed in a huddle, were entirely of grey stone, an ample resource here.

Hillside building was typical in this region, because arable land was at a premium, and most of it was located on the valley floor.

Because of the steep slope, the backs of the houses consisted of immovable boulders that jutted into the living space, and the edges were sealed against the elements. Living here, like win-

n the English language we have a few different terms for snow. Most of them are colloquialisms—known to skiers, snowmobilers, and ranchers—and generally refer to snow on the ground rather than in the air. Powder, slush, corn, and sugar are some names folks in this area may be familiar with.

However, the languages of many peoples native to the Earth’s Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, such as the Inuit, Yupik and Sami – people somewhat accustomed to snow and ice – have developed anywhere from 12 to 180 different terms for snow and ice. These terms are extremely specific: goahpålat - the kind of snow-storm in which the snow falls thickly and sticks to things (Sami); annui – falling snow (Inuit); tlaslo – snow that falls slowly (Inuit); and api – snow on the ground (Inuit), are just a few examples.

Linguists and anthropologists commonly attribute this specialization in language to the fact that life for these high-latitude peoples is so intimately dependent on snow conditions – kind of like the skiers and snowmobilers of central Idaho. The point is that, regardless of a lexical gap in our language, snow is extremely variable, taking countless different forms in the air and on the ground, each with the ability to affect our daily lives in a different way.

Over the next couple of weeks, ERC Beats will be looking at snow, the different forms it takes, the conditions that allow for those different forms, and how those affect our lives.

My Hero Special Olympian Jerry Smith is Headed to South Korea

BY KAREN BOSSICK

“H

wajangsil.”

“Haembeogeo.”

The Korean words for bathroom and hamburger might come in handy for Hailey resident Jerry Smith as he heads off to South Korea to represent the United States at the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games.

Smith, 57, will compete in classic cross-country skiing events in PyeongChang, South Korea. He has trained with Team USA at Lake Placid in New York and with local Special Olympics competitors on the Croy Canyon Nordic trails.

“He’s so speedy we often have to pair him with a volunteer on skate skis in order to keep up,” said Lisa Huttinger.

Huttinger was instrumental in starting the local chapter of Special Olympics in 2009 when

she moved here from Jackson, Wyo., where she had volunteered with such a group. The Special Olympics is under the umbrella of Higher Ground Sun Valley, formerly Sun Valley Adaptive Sports.

Smith was one of the first to get involved when she started the Nordic Special Olympics team.

“Jerry’s real social. He works at Atkinsons’, does volunteer work, even takes a yoga class,” Huttinger said. “He’s always saying, ‘I like cross-country skiing because it keeps me young, it keeps me going.’ ” Smith is one of four Idahoans who qualified to go to South Korea. The games, from Jan. 29 through Feb. 5, will include alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, figure skating, snowboarding and speed skating, among other sports. tws

No More Bullies

BY KAREN BOSSICK

F

ootlight Dance Centre wants to do more than paint a pretty picture when it takes its dance into the schools next week.

It wants to address the concept of anti-bullying.

Thirteen dancers will perform “NoMoreBullies” to all schools in the Blaine County School District. They will finish with a community performance on Saturday, Feb. 9, to benefit The Advocates.

The community performance will also feature the Idaho Falls Ballet Company under the direction of Deborah Bean and Dirty Feet Dance Company under the direction of Alysha Oclassen.

“It’s a subject that needs to be touched on and dance offers a creative way to get the kids’ attention,” said dancer Chloe Davis. “I think sometimes people don’t realize that something’s bullying until someone calls them on it.”

Footlight Dance Director Hilarie Neely said she got the idea after reading a couple of articles about dance companies back East that had put together programs addressing bullying.

Knowing that it’s been a concern at local schools, Neely decided to figure out a way to broach the subject locally.

“I think there’s a lot more bullying today than when I was in school. So much of it’s because of technology. And with cyberbullying, kids are more defenseless because it’s so instantaneous you can’t take it back,” she said.

The dancers will perform a piece about cyberbullying, using tap dancing to represent typing on a keyboard.

They will use other forms of dance to address verbal and other forms of bullying.

Each school student was taught a Flash Mob dance they will perform with the dancers and every student and teacher will have a wrist bracelet that says “NOMOREBULLIES,” thanks in part to a grant from the San Francisco Ballet, Sun Valley chapter.

“The idea is that when we enter each performance, we are all standing together to recognize the issue, to find ways to feel safe and confront the issue,”

said Neely.

Students were asked to submit writings that will be used as narration between pieces. One Community School high school student postulated that students should “just kill it with kindness” instead of constantly fighting back.

“There are so many layers to bullying—all the way up to people getting so isolated and lonely that we have suicide problems stemming from bullying,” said Neely. “Part of our message is: When you see something, say something. Kindness is nothing new. It’s something to always strive for.”

WHERE THEY’LL DANCE Thirteen dancers will present “NoMoreBullies” beginning with a 7 p.m. performance in Twin Falls on Saturday. They are: Malila Freeman, Kendall Piggins, Emmie Altermatt, Alberta Jefferson, Karina Rangel, Emily Seiller, Annie Ashfield, Chloe Davis, Sierra Judd, Liza Buell, Lynnlea Strickland, Cassidy Simpson and Lauren Robideaux.

Other performances: Tuesday, Jan. 29, 9:10 a.m., Hailey Elementary; Wednesday, Jan. 30, Community School, 12:30 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 1, Wood River High School at 8:35 a.m. and Woodside Elementary School at 1:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Feb. 5, Carey School at 9:45 a.m. and Wood River Middle School at 2:30 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 8, Hemingway School at 8:15 a.m. and Bellevue Elementary School at 1:30 p.m.

COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE Footlight Dance Centre will present “NoMoreBullies” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, in the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre at the Community Campus in Hailey.

The community performance will also feature the Idaho Falls Ballet Company under the direction of Deborah Bean and Dirty Feet Dance Company under the direction of Alysha Oclassen.

The performance is a benefit for The Advocates.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students, available at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and at the door. tws

ax Mauldin, Wood River High School junior, carrying a 3.9 grade point average, has a lot to offer. Besides being an excellent student and a lifetime member of the Boy Scouts of America, Mauldin also sings like a bird.

To prove it, he spends a great deal of time contributing to three Valley groups—The B-Tones, A Few Good Men and the Wood River High School Choir. “I come from a whole family of musicians,” Mauldin said. “My mom has a degree in musical theater and my dad taught music theory and voice at Utah State, and my younger brother is in the B-Tones with me.” The B-Tones is the high school’s all-male singing group. “My youngest memory was appearing in The Music Man for the St. Thomas Playhouse. Although I haven’t pursued musical theater, I do remember that it was a lot of fun. I also used to play the piano but stopped when we moved here from Boise because we didn’t take the piano with us. I can also remember singing in church since I was young and did music camps from the age of 8 to 12. In high school I joined the B-Tones, which you don’t have to audition for. If you’re not very good, we deal with it. We’re just a great bunch of guys that get together twice a week and love to sing.

We also get together once a week with Colla Voce, the school’s

all-female singing group to get together for our trip to Anaheim, California.” The groups travel by bus once a year to participate in a national competition. Thirty schools compete and Wood River is one of the smallest. “We sing for three or four judges and then one critiques us afterwards and you are given a bronze, silver or gold rating. This year we will also perform as a choir with Colla Voce and hope to win the choir sweepstakes. It was such a blast last year, hanging out with friends and competing. We also get to spend a day at Disneyland, which is a plus.

Last year we came home with a lot of awards and a silver rating.” This year the groups will travel April 11-14. Mauldin is also a part of A Few Good Men, which is an all-male a cappella group that covers all ages. “I just started with them and I’m the only high school student. “A cappella is a lot of fun, although it’s a lot more work. Your voice is everything and there is nothing to keep you in tune. You have to do it all yourself.” Mauldin’s favorite music is Broadway show tunes. “There is so much feeling and expression and you really connect with the audience. I love to perform live because it is such a blast, especially when you get to watch the faces in the crowd light up, plus you get to sing with the other kids and really connect with the music.” This outstanding young man certainly has no trouble connecting. tws

ere is a true story that reads just like a novel. It is well told by Zuckoff, a reporter turned professor of journalism at Boston University.

This tale will keep you on the edge of your seat and the book will be hard to put down.

The word Shangri-la seems to have misled most of us into believing that it connotes a land of paradise. For the three survivors of a crashed transport plane on a supposedly brief pleasure sightseeing tour carrying 24 American servicemen in New Guinea during World War II, this was just the beginning of their journey in hell. The survivors consisted of one very badly burned WAC, one sergeant with a severe head wound, and one young lieutenant

who lost his twin brother in the crash. In describing the crash, it seems amazing that there were any survivors at all. This trio had to immediately deal with the knowledge of their mates’ deaths as well as to help some last remaining survivors pass over; deal with the intense, almost impenetrable jungle; and face the knowledge that the tribes in the area were known to be cannibalistic. The fortitude of this trio and their trials and tribulations definitely make for a good piece of fiction however it makes for even a better one in knowing that this story was a true one. To give this all the more credence, there are some very interesting photos, taken by one of the survivors, to accompany the prose. There is even a 1945 original film of the survivors, the tribespeople and the rescue effort. Footage can be viewed on Mitchell Zuckoff’s website.

This is a book you definitely want to put on your must read list. You won’t regret it.

movie review

Ninety Percent Perspiration Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

T

he new ‘60’s-era rock and roll movie Not Fade Away isn’t terrible. The problem is that it’s not very good either.

As we are constantly reminded in this film, art is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration, but here the 10 percent is lacking and this saga of art and commerce falls short.

That’s disappointing because it is the directorial debut of David Chase, who also wrote the screenplay and who gave us television’s iconic The Sopranos.

Obviously a labor of love, the story, framed by the assassination of the Kennedy brothers, tells the odyssey of the brighteyed aspirations of a suburban New Jersey rock and roll band that, in their own minds, is destined for greatness, like their heroes The Rolling Stones, only to finding themselves falling into obscurity.

Despite the rather pedantic telling of the story, the real problem lies in the lead performance of John Magaro as the Dylan wannabe who rises from drummer to lead singer in the group. Although one of the film’s highlights is his rendition of Time Is On Your Side, he lacks any charisma, which makes the audience rather uninterested in his story. This movie is a talent and casting agent’s dream come

Punch line

true—ripe with roles destined for rising stars, much like a film like Diner. Instead, the ball is woefully dropped as the cast is imminently forgettable. The saving grace is the performance by the excellent James Gandolfini as the father that struggles with the generation divide. His relationship with his son is a subtext of the movie but rings with the most truth. Gandolfini achingly portrays his yearning for his lost youth in the movie’s best scene when he watches South Pacific on TV and dreams of freedom from his crushing reality. Kudos must also be given to the excellent rock and roll soundtrack – put together by E-Street Band member and Soprano’s star Steve Van Zandt. Beginning the film with The Peppermint Twist, it beautifully ends with The Sex Pistols. Rock and roll will never die. Unfortunately, it’s not really illuminated in this film. tws

Dave Dingman is a “shy and demure man.” But what a story he has to tell if you can get him to open up, said his friend Peggy Grove.

fly in. Tragedy struck on the second day of climbing when Jake Breitenbach died instantly after a block of ice the size of a house fall on him in the Khumbu Ice Fall.

The climbers had a contentious debate about whether to make the ascent from the South Col, which had already been climbed, or from the daunting, unclimbed West Ridge. Finally, they elected to play it safe, sending the initial group, which included Whittaker, up the South Col route to ensure the expedition was a success.

A few weeks later, Dyhrenfurth decided they had just enough oxygen to pursue the West Ridge route and get a few more members to the top.

Lute Jerstad and Barry Bishop climbed up the South Col route while Willi Unsoeld and Tom Hornbein took the West Ridge route with the idea they were to meet at the summit, completing the first Himalayan traverse.

“I went on the reconnaissance trip to the West Ridge but decided it might be a bit beyond my conditioning level—I hadn’t climbed in three years except to the top floor of the hospital,” Dingman recalled.

On May 22, the two men who took the South Col route planted a flag next to Whittaker’s and waited for more than a half-hour for the West Ridge climbers. But with the wind chill minus-90 at top, and their energy spent, they started down. Unsoeld and Hornbein eventually reached the summit at 6:15 p.m.—nearly 12 hours after they’d started and long past the 2 p.m. deadline climbers usually assign themselves for reaching the summit.

Forced to descend an unfamiliar path in darkness without oxygen, they ran into the other two. The four elected to bivouac on a rock outcropping just under 28,000 feet without tent or sleeping bag, huddling together and stomping their feet to keep warm. They feared they’d fall if they continued to descend—it was so dark they couldn’t see five feet in front of them.

Dingman had climbed to the high camp at 27,450 feet with oxygen in case of trouble and with the idea he’d get a chance to summit if all went well. When the climbers failed to arrive at the high camp, he went looking for them. “In ’63 we had a couple radios that barely worked— that’s hard to contemplate in a day when you can take a picture with your cell phone from the top of the mountain and send it around the world. And the night of the rescue I didn’t even have a flashlight that worked—it was difficult even to find my way back to the tent in the dark,” he recounted.

“I climbed up 400 feet, yelling for them, and started again at first light. Usually, there’s a howling wind 60 miles an hour on top of that mountain. Fortunately, that night there wasn’t much wind; otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived.”

Dingman left again at first light. He got oxygen to the climbers as they struggled to descend.

“They said, ‘Why don’t you go to the summit? It’s 6:30 in the

morning—you can easily make it.’ But I couldn’t leave them.

Two were walking like mummies because their feet were frozen— they spent weeks in a hospital and lost their toes. One was sitting and the other was lying flat on the snow. I had to keep everybody moving,” he recalled.

“People ask whether I was terribly disappointed I didn’t get to summit. I tell them, ‘I set out that morning thinking I was going to find four dead guys.

Instead, I found four friends, all alive. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

The eye on top of the world Dingman and the others received the Hubbard Medal— National Geographic Society’s highest honor—from President Kennedy. Dingman’s medal hangs from a book in his library.

More importantly, he said, the expedition introduced him to the plight of deformed children in the developing world. After serving as chief of surgery at an Air Force hospital during Vietnam and a cancer surgeon in New York, Dingman went into plastic and reconstructive surgery at Salt Lake City where he ended up a professor at the University of Utah Department of Surgery.

He has served on the medical board of Smile Train, a New York-based foundation that provides cleft surgery to poor children in Third World countries.

As medical director of Interplast, he’s repaired cleft lips of children in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Vietnam and Myanmar.

He has also operated on leprosy victims in India.

“Leprosy spreads easily when you have 15 people living in one house,” he said. “Education is the real answer. If you can catch it when it’s just a scaly red patch that looks like psoriasis, you can prevent paralysis. Once it starts to affect the peripheral nerves, it’s too late.”

Dingman didn’t do much climbing after Everest—he was too busy with his career. But he did take part in a plot by the CIA to place a 125-pound nuclear-powered surveillance device containing plutonium 238 atop 25,645-foot Nanda Devi in the Himalayas. The CIA wanted to monitor the Chinese missile program after China detonated its first atom bomb in 1964.

The equipment, eventually rendered obsolete by satellites, is

thought to have been lost in an avalanche.

“I didn’t talk about it for years because our contract said we shouldn’t talk about it in our lifetime. But the story is out now,” Dingman said. “It was called the CIA’s most daring operation and books have been written about it, including ‘An Eye at the Top of the World’ and ‘Spies in the Himalayas.’ ” The Dingbat After Dingman retired, he started crossing things off his bucket list, including a lengthy sailing trip.

He and his wife Barbara moved to Sun Valley full time in 2000. Here, Dingman has become a faithful devotee of skiing Baldy, served on St. Luke’s board, and designed and built an experimental aircraft out of mahogany and spruce called “The Dingbat.”

“Every decade or so I like to do something new. I’ve had a passion for aviation since I was little—I started taking lessons when I was 14. I did some acrobatic flying in a biplane, won some state championships. Then someone suggested building my own,” he said. “It took four years—I had to learn all the skill, including welding, to learn to form the fuselage. It was so much fun I call it ‘knitting for men’—you get that helmet on and no one can bother you.”

While he prefers to think about the next plane he’s going to build, Coburn’s book has taken him back 50 years when he and 18 other climbers made history.

A couple of those men have died in automobile accidents; others, in climbing accidents.

One had a heart attack while trekking in Nepal; several have died of cancer. One was paralyzed while shooting a ski film.

Two others have Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

There are only seven left, including the leader of the expedition, who is now 95.

“We were a tremendous team—we ended up friends and we’re still friends and, as we’ve gotten older, we’ve appreciated the roles we all played—roles that maybe we didn’t appreciate at the time,” Dingman said.

“When you think about it, it was a special moment in history.” tws

Let’s Talk About Inflation Economics A s the economy continues to show signs of improvement, some continue to look for signs of inflation.

Typically, the only ones who may cheer inflation are those who have borrowed long term and will have the chance to repay in cheaper dollars. The rest of us could do without the beast.

Inflation is an insidious tax on future value for most consumers and investors. Our money doesn’t buy as much, the interest we earn on CDs and other fixedincome securities is worth less, and retirement on a fixed income is challenging. The common perception of inflation is that it is caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods, forcing prices up. Basic economics dictates that wages would spiral up, putting further pressure on prices as

inflation continued unabated.

We learned in the 1970s that inflation could be stimulated by sudden price increases in commodities such as oil and gas. We have also been barraged with the idea that our government can print money by spending more than it takes in from tax revenues. Government spending during the Reagan years created huge deficits but, strangely enough, inflation fell and has continued to fall from its peak in the early 1980s. Inflation, however, can erode individuals’ buying power in other areas besides just commodities; rising taxes, healthcare costs, and college tuition rates are just a few examples.

During a period of downturn, we normally see disinflation (falling prices) result from

In order to be successful, a portfolio must be constructed around investments that are expected to outpace the rate of inflation. Over the long run, selective growth stocks, dividendpaying stocks, and high-income securities offer the best potential for returns that exceed the rate of inflation.

eaning against the wall in my bedroom is a vision board. It has been there for two years displaying colorful pictures and words cut from magazines. Vision and dreams dance across the board reminding me to pay attention to possibilities.

Everything seemed to be manifesting except for one image.

Down in the left-hand corner was a poem with the caption, “Rediscover the Art of Poetry.�

Asking myself many times, why?

What was holding me back?

This is what we do! The many obstacles along the path are actually the path itself. We move on.

Go with me back in time to a scene in my childhood. At the age of nine, I loved poetry. If my mother needed a greeting card, she would ask me to write a poem. With clever rhyming of words, the poem was soon in her hands. She always praised me.

Whatever happened to my passion for poetry? As I progressed in school my imagination diminished. Understanding Shakespeare was difficult. It seemed as though some of the students were getting it, but since I wasn’t, that part of me shut down.

The good news is that my desire to write poetry was only postponed. Seventy-five years later (a long time out) I was giving voice to that part of me that has long been rejected.

minds me to be present with the ordinary moments of everyday life. In my own experience the poetic path is getting to know myself and tapping in to what is real.

A three-line poem can have power. One morning, about three days ago, as I was blinking my eyes open to the light of a new day, the following words came to me out of the blue.

Dig Deep Find Yourself Live!

Folded within these words is a straightforward message.

W

hat a special and delicious lunch I was offered when I went visiting Sandra Castillo and her sister, Lupita, at their down-home and wonderfully cozy restaurant in Hailey, Lago Azul. Tacos Tinga, at $10.99 (four shredded chicken tacos with chipotle sauce, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, Mexican cheese and avocado sided with Mexican rice and guacamole pictured above), is what Sandra laid down before me. That was because I had asked her to choose her most special dish for me to taste. She told me that this dish was close to her heart because the innards of this taco were of her own creation. Luckily, I had saved my appetite for this lunch and hadn’t had any prior food on this day. I did eat most of it but I succeeded in going home with one leftover taco and some “arroz� (rice). That evening, I warmed it all a bit in a slow oven and it was once again delicious.

I think that we are so fortunate to have in this Valley so many wonderful little eateries run and owned by immigrants.

I marvel at this all the time and actually wish we had more diversity. Well, isn’t our country built on the diversity of immigrants?

Yes, indeed and, proudly may I say, I am one of them.

Sandra and her sister, Lupita, immigrated to Los Angeles from San Salvadore in the 1990s.

They started out on lunch trucks in L.A. and then migrated from busy L.A. to Nampa, Idaho.

Luckily, they finally found their true peace and quiet here in our Valley. Thus, we are fortunate to be able to enjoy their little eatery here in Hailey.

They say that they do miss El Salvadore but realize that the El Salvadore they miss is a past that cannot be recreated. Here in the USA, they have raised their children (seven in all between the two sisters) and, sadly, even here in Hailey, lost a precious piece of their past — their mother. She also had been an integral part of the restaurant, working in the background.

Sandra and Lupita wanted me to relay most importantly that the community and support here has been so strong, in spite of an iffy economy, that they wanted to make sure that I noted in this article their expression of deep gratitude to all of their faithful clients, friends and business associates.

As well, Sandra wanted to make sure that everyone knows that her passion is to see people eat, enjoy and then come back to wherever she is to say hello and thank you. So, you all, don’t forget to do just that!

Lastly, Sandra didn’t want clients to forget that Lago Azul is a part of the http://www. restaurant.com website for gift certificates that are applicable to her restaurant. So, go explore.

In conclusion, when you go visit this lovely little hidden jewel in our Valley, don’t forget to say that The Weekly Sun and Margot sent you.

iet and exercise guru Chris Crowley called on Sun Valley residents to rise up in revolt Friday afternoon. “Revolution has got to happen,� he told the first of two soldout audiences at the Wood River YMCA. “The way we eat and move in this country is making us sick.�

Crowley, co-author of the popular “Younger Next Year� was on a book tour of 20 cities to promote his new book, “Thinner This Year,� which is already in its third printing even though it just came out two weeks ago.

The book, which has received reviews in the “Wall Street Journal� and on national TV, is a no-nonsense guide to diet and exercise. “What makes this book different is that everything’s true,� said Crowley, who co-wrote the book with Jen Sacheck, a nutritionist and exercise physiologist at Tufts University. “In the world of diet books that’s a miracle. There’s so much bologna out there. We show what happens inside your body when you eat good stuff and when you eat crap, when you exercise and when you don’t.�

Exercise is the flywheel of the good life and of losing weight, said Crowley, as he prescribed four days of aerobic activity and two days of strength training a week. “When you know what exercise does inside your body, it’s crazy not to do it,� he added. “Exercise changes the way we metabolize food—our body burns cleaner, faster, needs less insulin.

Crowley said there’s a war in our body between fat and lean muscle mass: “Your little pot belly is an open sewer inside your body and at night the rats come out. Lean muscle mass stems the inflammation caused by the fat. “We eat slop and we’re idle.

We’re not designed to be like that. We’re designed with internal combustion engines. I wish the signal for growth was potato chips or, in my case, bourbon.

But it’s exercise. We eat fuel and it mixes with the oxygen in our blood. When we use our body, it rebuilds itself. We get miles and miles of new capillaries‌ It’s like adding new horsepower at 50. And it improves our chances of evading major diseases, like Alzheimers, by half.�

Supplements just give us expensive urine, with the excep-

tion of Vitamin D, Crowley said: “None of you gets quite enough Vitamin D from the sun, even if you ran naked around here.�

The great American diet is the father of the great American diseases, Crowley said. Cut protein to a quarter of your diet and stay away from corn-fed meat, opting for protein from legumes and fish. During World War II, the Germans took cows away from Norwegian and, in response, the Norwegians’ rate of heart disease dropped. “Every molecule in your body needs outside nutrients. The American diet is 50 percent dead food, fast food, what’s in 80 percent of the middle of the supermarket. It makes a ton of sense to fill our plates with half fruits and vegetables a quarter fish and chicken and grains,� he added.

Alan Pesky, who was among those in the audience, said he hadn’t read the new book yet.

But he’s sent several copies of “Younger Next Year,� which Crowley also co-wrote, to friends of his who were seeking to find ways to feel younger even if they couldn’t be younger. “I found I knew a lot of what was in the book,� he said. “But it helped me remember to focus on tws the things I need to do.�

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I need your help. My four-yearold came to me the other day and asked for a clown at his upcoming birthday party. I told him it was a possibility, but when he walked away I realized I don't know anything about hiring a clown. How do I know a good clown from a bad one? Do I interview him, try him out ahead of time or ask if he can juggle? The closest thing I know to a clown is my Uncle Jimmy who gets a red nose after a long night out. How do I find a clown that's entertaining and will make a good party? Can you give me a lesson in clowning 101?

•

Cash: You've come to the

right guys! We like to think of clowning around not as a job, but more of a lifestyle.

Carry: Actually, being a clown is serious business. Most people conjure up the image of a big red nose, big shoes and bright colored clothes. But the truth is, every clown is different and each one has their own style based on personality and talent.

Cash: And we do mean talent.

If you think juggling five balls

Fast Facts Tipped Over

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 01/20/13 ©The Classified Guys

While a gratuity is not required, some people like to tip a party entertainer such as a clown. But how much is appropriate? It's recommended that you tip the same as you would a waiter or waitress in a restaurant, typically 10% to 20%. As with any service, you can adjust your tip amount based on how pleased you were with their performance. But remember, someone has to pay for all the quarters pulled from behind the children's ears.

Spooked while riding a unicycle is difficult, just try coordinating clown shoes with the right tie. That's talent!

Carry: For your party, you'll need a clown that is prepared to do age-appropriate humor and magic that all the kids can understand.

Cash: The rest depends on the type of party you are hosting.

For instance, if you have a large group of kids, you may want a strolling clown who will travel from table to table. He could make balloon animals or help to face paint the children. This arrangement lends itself to events requiring long periods of enter-

tainment.

Carry: If it's a smaller party,

you can hire a clown who will entertain the entire group of children for only an hour or so.

Cash: Once you have planned your style of party, you're ready to interview a few clowns, besides us that is. Explain your party arrangement and ask each candidate to tell you about the entertainment they can provide for your event.

Carry: As with hiring any service, be sure to check their references to make sure they act professionally. Although remember, at your party, they are expected to "clown around."

Does your child scream when they meet Santa at the mall or stare at their shoes when they meet the Easter Bunny? Then meeting a clown could be a scary experience for them as well. If your child takes time to warm up to people, the best thing to do is greet the clown as you would any other friend. Your child will most likely follow your lead. Stay within view or reach of your child to give them a sense of comfort.

Before you know it, everyone will be clowning around.

Reader Humor New in Town

As a clown, I know most of the other clowns who perform at kid's parties. In fact, we always joke around when our agents book two or more of us at one event. At the last kid's party, one of the clowns was a new guy on the circuit so I went up to introduce myself.

He told me that one of the other clowns had stopped by to say hello. But instead of shaking hands, he shot water at him from a flower on his lapel.

"What did he do that for?" I asked him surprisingly.

I got a good laugh when he replied, "He told me it was Professional Courtesy."

(Thanks Ron L.)

516 rants Is it really asking “too much” for the the newly-remodeled (and much smaller now) deli at the Sun Valley Resort’s mall to actually put PRICES on, or at least near, the items they have for sale in there?!?! Good luck finding a bottle of beer -- or ANYTHING ELSE, for that matter -- that does have any signage. No wonder it was EMPTY when I went in there last week, around 1 p.m.; yuck!!!!! :(

518 raves Recently rented -- and loved (despite its undeniably grim subject matter) -- that Bosnian War-set feature film that was written and directed by Angelina Jolie: “In the Land Of Blood and Honey,” a film that I can’t recommend too highly. Much like Michael Mann’s “Heat,” “Terence Malick’s “The Thin Red Line,” Costa Gavras’ “Missing,” Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” and Franklin Shaffner’s “Patton,” it’s a movie of both unabashed ugliness, but also unabashed beauty as well. Not exactly a “fun” time at the movies -- but a REALLY EXTRAORDINARY movie nonetheless!! :)

“It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.” –Aristotle

BY LESLIE THOMPSON

I

sit in anticipation of the sun breaking its first ray across my mountainous backyard — my playground for all the outdoor activities I enjoy. Before embarking on today’s journey, I enjoy the mixed company of a cup of fresh-pressed coffee, a small handful of pistachios and some pomegranate arils. I head outside, and as soon as the fresh air enters my lungs I am instantly renewed. The energy helps me push forward down my own path of vitality.

When I contemplate the meaning of health and wellness as a whole, I realize that for each and every one of us it is as unique as a snowflake. Health lies in the hands of the individual, and we have the freedom to

choose whatever we like to determine how we exemplify our well being.

The food we eat, the beauty products we use, our physical activities, all the various modalities of relaxation and rejuvenation—each of us has our own blueprint to taking care of ourselves. It’s up to us to make a choice. Personally, I choose health. What do you choose?

For those of us who are lucky enough to call the Wood River Valley home, we know this is a breeding ground for all things healthy. Inside these pages, you will find all sorts of ways to nurture your body and mind.

“Wrinkle Iron�

Galvanic Spa

earing pain enveloped the back and sides of my knee as I attempted to get out of the chair. My left leg locked in place as I stood up and I had to coax it to follow my right leg as I tried to walk across the floor.

Sun Valley’s Nordic Coach Rick Kapala knew exactly what I had done when I told him I’d been skiing up Diamondback without poles and chasing Muffy Ritz and her Supertramps up and down the hills on the Proctor Loop trying to get a picture.

I’d hyper-extended something in the back of my knee, he told me, the technical term for what he said escaping me. “Take some Ibuprofen and put some ice on it.�

Ice I could do—I had a bag of frozen peas that needed thawing.

But Ibuprofen? I could down a whole bottle and not feel an iota of relief from the pain.

As luck would have it, however, I did have an appointment to visit with an acupuncturist two days later. If it wasn’t any better by then, I mused, this would be the perfect test.

Two days later I limped into a small, unassuming office at 220 South Second Street in Ketchum.

Maria Morris opened Nourishing Roots Community Acupuncture a couple months earlier after her 5-year-old daughter began attending the Montessori school. And she’d been trying to get me to check out her practice ever since. “101 Things to do in Winter� made it impossible to free up the time at first, and that segued into big holiday papers requiring lots of stories, early holiday deadlines, a multitude of requests for stories from the Twin Falls newspaper, even a bunch of requests for magazine articles.

Finally, with the lull of January, I had scheduled an interview. What timing.

Maria, a petite woman with a ready smile, greeted me with a four-page questionnaire that covered just about anything I could have possibly thought to complain about. When I finished, the ailing knee was front and center.

We had a brief chat, during which she asked me to stick out my tongue as she examined it for signs of deficiencies and other telltale signs. “I can tell a lot by looking at the coating, the shape, the color, whether it’s trembling,� she said. “If your tongue’s purplish or has a red tip, for instance, it may mean you have trouble staying asleep all night.�

Then she ushered me into a dimly lit room with six recliners covered with white bedspreads and a couple screens that divide the room.

The community setting allows Maria to treat patients at affordable prices that allow them to visit as often as they need, much as they do in Asia, she told me.

Many acupuncturists who isolate their patients in an individual room charge $65 to $175 per treatment, she said. Maria, by contrast, charges $10 for the first appointment. She asks $15 per treatment for those making less than $20,000 a year, $25 for those making $25,000 to $35,000, $45 for those over $50,000.

She suggests $15 to $25 for subsequent visits within the same week. Clients place the money or check in envelopes Maria has recycled from such organizations as the National Wildlife Federation and drop their payment in a mailbox hanging on the wall. “The intention is for you to come in often enough to get better and stay better,� she said. “In Asia, people will seek treatment

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

Needles in the crook of my elbow address the pain in my knee.

These disposable needles rarely cause discomfort but they can cause a minute amount of bruising in some cases.

every day for maybe 10 days in a row until the problem is taken care of. Here in America it’s so expensive many can’t afford to seek treatment but once a week.

I like that in this practice I can treat people who might not be able to come to me otherwise because they couldn’t afford it.�

I took off my sweater and rolled up my sleeves. I removed my socks and shoes and rolled my pants up past my knees and settled back in the chair.

Maria, dressed in jeans and a sweater, slid up to me on a rolling stool. Methodically and efficiently, she took several extremely pliable needles with metal spiral handles out of a package. Before I could take five deep breaths she inserted five into the crook of my left elbow.

She moved down to my feet, sticking a couple pins in my ankles, a couple more just above the toes.

Ouch! I felt that one!

She stuck a couple in both ears, then one smack dab between the eyes. And she finished it off with a few more on the inside and outside of my right elbow.

Then she placed a wadded-up blanket between my legs so she could drape a blanket over me and tells me to relax. “You’re welcome to stay as long as you like,� she told me. “I’ve found that most people do best if they stay at least 45 minutes.�

The agony of impatience‌ Most people would probably love the chance to doze off in the middle of the day like that. For me, it was pure agony. I tried to count the pinholes on the ceiling, imagining Maria has given the

January 23, 2013

ceiling an acupuncture treatment. I closed my eyes, noting the number of shadows that pass through the light as other clients come and go.

Oh, if she could just poke me with a few needles and be done!

I thought. Oh, if I could just read a magazine while I’m lying here.

Eventually, I had bided the prescribed time. Maria returned, quickly removing the needles without the least bit of discomfort on my part. She ran her hands over my elbows and feet to make sure she’d removed them all, and I gingerly tried to stand up.

Ummmm. Better. Better indeed, I thought to myself: My left leg doesn’t feel so wooden. I can actually move it without waiting the customary moment for it to get settled.

Maria had explained to me that treatments customarily produce a certain amount of relief from pain and healing that lasts up to 24 hours. Then clients typically see a little worsening of pain but it doesn’t retreat to the point where they started.

With each treatment the patient should see less pain and more healing.

I could definitely feel the difference as I walked out the door compared with how I’d felt when I’d walked in. If I could have, I would have been back in the next day. But, alas, it was the weekend.

I bided my time, double-poling my way around the cross-country tracks in minus-20-degree temperatures so I didn’t put any pressure on the knee. I tested it on a few runs on Baldy, skiing the balk of the runs on my right

Corner of Poplar & Main, Bellevue • 208-578-3555

he Bellevue General Store, located at Poplar and Main in Bellevue, recently opened in November of 2012.

The store, which looks and feels like a charming old-fashioned country store, and smells like freshly baked bread, is operated

by Terry and Julie Heneghan, 30-year residents in Blaine County. The location formally housed Great American Furniture, but the slow economy of the last four years made it difficult to support a family and business on the beautiful rustic furniture that Terry makes. So, in order to feed their three teenage sons, the couple began raising and growing food on their property in the Bellevue Triangle. As they learned more about the health

benefits of fresh, locally grown food, and tasted the difference in quality, they developed a passion for the sustainable practice of eating locally. With a commercial kitchen already in place, the changeover to the Bellevue General Store was only natural.

Now Julie uses the kitchen to turn the bounty of the season into delicious jams, pickles, and baked goods. Terry continues to build his interesting, original furniture pieces out of his stockpile of local barn wood, and other local residents are bringing their crafts and artwork to sell.

“We eventually want the store to be stocked only by the many talented residents of Idaho,” Julie states. Other things that you can find at the Bellevue

General Store include, eggs from Blaine County chickens, 5-B Honey, K&K Coffee, Oak Street salad dressings, open-range beef, Angel Earth chicken, and Rope’s End rabbit. The store plans on adding more local foods and crafts, as well as a selection of the amazing local produce that will be available this summer.

They can be reached at 5783555, or bellevuegs@cox.net.

G

et Young, the Valley’s first full-spectrum, antiaging clinic is owned and operated by plastic surgeon, Teri Burnett, M.D. “Maintaining a youthful appearance is optimized by a combination of good nutrition coupled with skin treatments to reduce the signs of aging.” Dr. Burnett offers many services, including Botox and Juvederm injections, advanced skin-care products, bio-identical hormone replacement, weightloss counseling with lasting results, and non-invasive skin tightening and body contouring with Idaho’s only “Venus Freeze.”

Dr. Burnett is a highly skilled practitioner with respect to Botox and Juvederm. Her approach uses artful combinations to create a natural and healthy

appearance. Free consultations are offered where you can convey your personal aesthetic goals and ask questions.

For both fillers and Botox, Dr. Burnett adheres to a “less is better” principle. “Starting with smaller amounts and doing a touch-up treatment if desired is the best way to avoid an overdone and unnatural appearance.” This also ensures that you pay only for what is appropriate for your desired goals. With Botox, the goal is not a “frozen” face but rather weakening the muscles that cause wrinkles.

Because she is so experienced, Dr. Burnett is comfortable with advanced techniques. Botox can treat both horizontal lines and vertical bands in the neck. Volume loss in difficult areas such as the under-eye hollows can be

corrected with Juvederm.

e all struggle with aspects of our health and wellness. Sometimes we don’t exercise as we should or we don’t eat properly. We get so busy with life that we forget to put our OWN wellness on the TO-DO list. One solution is to give ourselves the best gift possible and that is the gift of massage. Massage has been called Powerful Medicine. Studies show that it has tremendous health benefits not only physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It can help people cope with today’s hectic lifestyles.

However, sadly, many feel they cannot afford massage—feeling that it is a luxury. However, as a preventive measure against illness, massage is much more affordable than an appointment to the doctor’s office! I do not believe that anyone should be deprived of the benefits of massage because of lack of ability to pay the “going rate.” That is why I of-

fer a sliding-fee scale. In today’s economy, many people are struggling; they should not have to compromise their health. Being a 35-year resident of the Wood River Valley, 12 of those years having been doing all modalities of massage, it is a privilege to have the opportunity to help people in whatever way I can.

Please feel free to contact me and let’s talk.

Let’s Eat for the Health of It

Start by choosing one or more tips to help you...

Build a healthy plate Before you eat, think about what goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl. Foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein foods contain the nutrients you need without too many calories. Try some of these options.

Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.

Switch to skim or 1% milk.

Make at least half your grains whole.

Vary your protein food choices.

Keep your food safe to eat - learn more at www.FoodSafety. gov.

Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt Many people eat foods with too much solid fats, added sugars, and salt (sodium). Added sugars and fats load foods with extra calories you don’t need. Too much sodium may increase your blood pressure.

Choose foods and drinks with little or no added sugars.

Look out for salt (sodium) in foods you buy - it all adds up.

Eat fewer foods that are high in solid fats.

Walk-in Appointments STARTING AT $50

Eat the right amount of calories for you Everyone has a personal calorie limit. Staying within yours can help you get to or maintain a healthy weight. People who are successful at managing their weight have found ways to keep track of how much they eat in a day, even if they don’t count every calorie.

Enjoy your food, but eat less.

Cook more often at home, where you are in control of what’s in your food.

When eating out, choose lower calorie menu options.

Write down what you eat to keep track of how much you eat.

If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so sensibly - limit to 1 drink a day for women or to 2 drinks a day for men.

Be physically active your way Pick activities that you like and start by doing what you can, at least 10 minutes at a time. Every bit adds up, and the health benefits increase as you spend more time being active.

Note to parents: What you eat and drink and your level of physical activity are important for your own health, and also for your children’s health.

YMCA’S Jason Fry is on a Mission to Increase Community Health STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

J

ason Fry always envisioned he’d follow his father’s footsteps into a career as a football coach.

Instead, he’s become a lifestyle coach as the head of the Wood River YMCA. Fry, who quietly became the Y’s chief executive officer a few months ago after having served as its interim director, is on a mission to get Sun Valley healthy.

Friday’s “Thinner This Year” presentation is part of that.

“Something needs to change to make us healthier. Thirty-five percent of the country is obese; two-thirds of Americans are overweight. The health costs and consequences that go with that are astronomical. We have to ask ourselves: How can we change the face of health care?”

Fry said.

The Y has paired with St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center on a pilot Healthy U program that allows the hospital to receive discounts on health premiums if it meets standards involving body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, tobacco use and other measures of health. If it proves successful, Fry hopes to introduce it to others in the community.

The Y is also working with St. Luke’s on a new childhood obesity program called YEAH—Youth Engaged in Activities for Health.

Middle school students referred by physicians as being at risk for chronic diseases like diabetes get a medical assessment and membership in an eight-week program that utilizes games and other methods to teach them how to read labels at the grocery store, how to make a healthier burrito and how to incorporate fun exercise into their lives.

“The catch is we can’t just do this with the kids. The program really only works if the whole family is involved,” Fry said.

In February, the Y will embark on the third year of its Corporate Wellness program.

Last year’s program attracted 250 participants, including employees of Sun Valley Resort and Cox Communications, who collectively lost more than 700 pounds. Fry hopes to have 350 involved this year.

“Yes, we’re a very fit community. But there are hidden pockets of people who fall into the everyday American category where they go to work, have distractions and just can’t get on a regular program to keep their bodies healthy. We want to help them.”

Fry grew up in Toledo, Ohio— an unabashed “sports kid” who could always be found playing basketball, football and baseball or swimming at the Toledo Y. At 5-foot-9 he played free safety at Wittenberg University in nearby Springfield, then went to Ithaca

Jason Fry, shown here setting out a trophy for the Y’s annual golf fundraiser, is on a mission to instill healthy habits in Valley residents that become as natural a part of the daily ritual as brushing the teeth.

College in New York to study exercise science with the idea of coaching, as his father had done for 30 years.

After spending long hours every day on the road recruiting for the Ithaca program, he decided it wasn’t the lifestyle he wanted.

“I wanted to have a family life,” said Fry, who now has a 4-year-old daughter Sylvia and a 1-year-old daughter, Amelia.

“I want to be a good husband, a good father and do things I enjoy, like hiking and biking. There’s no way I could do that working in a football program like that.”

So, Fry and his wife Vanessa moved to Ketchum where he initially produced concerts for the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and served as the Y program director. He started the Y on Wheels program at Balmoral Apartments in Hailey and watched it grow from five kids to 80.

He left the Y in 2009 to start his own production company, all the while coaching football at Wood River High School on the side. He returned to the Y to serve as interim director after his predecessor resigned.

Now he’s trying to find solutions to the health crisis that renders the United States a mere 37th among industrialized nations in terms of health and wellness.

Fry and St. Luke’s officials are examining partnerships by

which a patient who’s undergone something like a bypass would not simply be discharged but would be ushered into an exercise and nutritional program at the Y. “Maybe we could tell them: Here’s a month at the Y at no cost,” Fry said. “This is prevention we’re talking about, not just treatment.”

In addition to looking at nutrition, the Y is eyeballing programs to get kids off the couch and away from video games. Two years ago it started a pilot program aimed at teaching third-graders to swim. So far, Hemingway and Woodside are involved. This year it hopes to add Hailey and eventually it wants to expand to the Community School, Pioneer Montessori and Carey.

“Did you know that Idaho ranks third in preventable drowning? We need to address that as much as exercise and nutrition,” Fry said.

“The Y is so much more than a gym. We want to move the needle when it comes to healthy living and that includes addressing social responsibility, volunteering, staying out of trouble, learning values, and enrichment activities such as art and music. We want to be there for people who want to get healthy and don’t know where to start.

We want to help solve problems, whether it’s obesity or other hidtws den health problems.”

Grabher New Sun Valley Wellness Institute Board President Elisabeth Grabher, longtime Valley resident, CEO of Grabher Construction and passionate wellness advocate, has been elected as the new president of the non-profit Sun Valley Wellness Institute (SVWI) Board of Directors.

Grabher takes the reins from Nick Maricich, who adeptly led the organization for the past three years and will continue to serve on the board.

Grabher is looking forward to her new role in leading the Sun Valley Wellness Institute into the future.

“I believe so strongly in the mission of this organization—to inspire positive change—and what we do to support and foster our incredibly rich and diverse community of wellness,” remarked Grabher. “2013 is going to be an amazing year as we shift into a

Caroline’s Walk-in Clinic

680 Sun Valley Rd., Ketchum • 208-721-2897 www.CarolinesWalkInClinic.com

aroline’s Walk-in Clinic was established with a goal to provide the Sun Valley area with affordable health care.

Caroline Cogen, ARNP, started her career as a certified nursing assistant, then continued her nursing degree at Seattle Central Community College. She completed her BSN at the University of Washington.

Caroline practiced as a registered nurse for 10 years at Harrison Memorial Hospital in Bremerton, Wash. While at Harrison Memorial, she trained with a “Shared Governance” practices style.

Shared Governance allowed the nurses full autonomy. In addition to managing their own patient load, the nurses participated in management of their floor, which included hiring staff, training new employees, evaluating patients and patient placement, conflict resolution and budgeting. This experience has contributed to Caroline’s ability to open her own clinic.

The clinic is open (note the change) Tuesday-Sunday, 2-6:30 p.m. and evenings by appointment only. The evening hours will expand in the summer months. We are currently located

on Sun Valley Road, behind Topnotch Furniture and right next to Burnsie’s.

Look for the sandwich board on Sun Valley Road. If it’s out, we are open! Or give us a call at 721-2897. We do have variable hours.

The clinic offers laceration repairs, PAP smears, medication refills, nail removal, well child/ adult exams, urinalysis, pregnancy testing, HTN, diabetes care, and help with sprains.

Why To Eat Your Fruit

Eating fruit provides health benefits — people who eat more fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Fruits provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body.

Health Benefits Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.

Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.

Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood pressure, and may also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease

bone loss.

Eating foods such as fruits that are lower in calories per cup instead of some other highercalorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.

Nutrients Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories.

None have cholesterol.

Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients that are underconsumed, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).

Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.

Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells.

Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or supplements.

hat is energy medicine?

Energy medicine is an umbrella term that covers any number of therapeutic modalities that deal with the human energy field, or biofield, a subtle energy field that surrounds, supports and interpenetrates the physical body.

A well-balanced energy field helps maintain our physical and emotional well-being. However, at times our energy field can become congested or imbalanced, usually due to an emotional disturbance or a physical trauma, and over time such imbalances can result in physical symptoms or unsettled emotional states.

As a Healing Touch practitioner and certified Reiki master, I use widely recognized techniques from these disciplines as well as intuitive guidance to rebalance the energy field while releasing congestion and allowing the energy field to return to its natural

state of balance which, in turn, allows physical and emotional symptoms to resolve. I also work with my clients to help them maintain that balance by using simple, easy-to-learn energetic exercises.

Who might benefit from a therapeutic energy session?

Whether utilizing energy therapy on its own or in conjunction with conventional medical or psychological therapies, anyone who is currently dealing with a health challenge, a major life change or an emotional upset can benefit from the balancing effects of energy interventions.

While everyone’s experience is unique, many clients report the lessening or resolution of physical symptoms and nearly all report a sense of increased well-being and serenity, enabling them to better navigate whatever healing process they may be going through.

Kaitlyn Farrington, Superpipe Sweetheart

Hailing from Sun Valley, Idaho, 23-year-old Kaitlyn Farrington is launching her halfpipe career while winning over the hearts of aspiring grooms. The overall 2012 Grand Prix champion is a major podium contender for upcoming 2013 competitions with runs consisting of a back-toback 900s, an inverted frontside 720 and an alley-oop 540.

She most recently took the victory at the recent Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado - and now she’s gearing up for the first stop of the 2013 X-Games being held in Aspen Colorado, January 24-27, 2013. During her holiday respite at her hometown resort, Sun Valley, she spent a day riding with the girls’ snowboard team of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF), inspiring the girls ranging in ages from 9-14.

“I was excited to meet and ride with the girls who on the

SVSEF’s snowboard team,” smiled Kaitlyn, “When I was on the team, I was only one of two girls, and now there’s about 10 of them. It’s great to see the girls’ interest in this sport growing.”

In addition to being a role model, Kaitlyn played ‘gracious host’ to the girls with a hot cocoa round table, answering many of the youngsters’ questions about her blossoming career. As Kaitlyn added, “They are adorable; I liked the offbeat questions, too, like what my favorite cartoon was growing up.”

“Kaitlyn was so much fun to hang with. She’s like a big kid with a big heart,” glowed Sascha Sullivan, age 9, ‘Devo’ SVSEF Snowboard Team member. “I couldn’t think of a better opportunity - a great role model like Kaitlyn with our up-and-coming competitive snowboarders.” said Andy Gilbert, snowboarding head coach of SVSEF. She’s got

the personality to match her talent for riding the halfpipe - warm-hearted and hard charging. With a lineup of sponsors such as The North Face, Gnu, Giro, The House Boardshop, Monster, Sprint, and Sun Valley, her support base is gaining momentum. Sun Valley has boosted its terrain area by creating a 22foot Olympic-sized superpipe for its athletes, namely Kaitlyn.

“I’m so proud to see Sun Valley develop an Olympic-sized pipe for myself and aspiring athletes to train in,” beams Kaitlyn. “I’m not forced to travel long distances to train at crowded halfpipes anymore; it couldn’t be more perfect.”

Luke’s Family Pharmacy 101 S. Main St., Hailey • 208-788-4970

fter providing healthcare and services to the Valley for nearly 25 years, Karen’s Family Pharmacy was taken over by Luke Snell and his young family in January 2012, resulting in the name change and subsequent relocation. Luke had been managing the Karen’s Pharmacy for three years prior to purchasing it. Luke’s Family Pharmacy now sits in the epicenter of Hailey in the historic Wertheimer building (formerly North & Co.) at the corner of Main and Bullion streets. The new space has allowed the pharmacy to properly display the vast array of health products that have long been available, in addition to expanding into new products.

The pharmacy features a state-of-the-art compounding lab, which provides an area for the proper mixing of patient-specific creams, ointments, capsules and suppositories, according to a doctor’s prescription. Luke’s Family Pharmacy also has the only pharmacy drive-up in the Valley in order to accommodate patients that are less mobile and mothers with young children.

Also new to the pharmacy is a free kid’s vitamins program.

This community outreach program has resulted in over 300 bottles of free vitamins given out to Wood River Valley children!

While ownership has changed, the staff has not. Luke’s Family Pharmacy boasts a staff with a pharmacist, lead technician, and medical equipment manager that have all been with the company for over 10 years. This stability

results in exceptional patient care, whether they are getting prescriptions, home oxygen, medical equipment or any of the other medical needs offered. The goal of Luke Snell and his staff is to ensure that each and every person has a pleasant experience as they visit Luke’s Family Pharmacy.

Luke’s also has free delivery service to Hailey/Bellevue on Tuesdays and Ketchum/Sun Valley on Thursdays.

r. Maria has been a prominent wellness practitioner in our community for nearly 20 years. She is certified in Network Spinal Analysis and Applied Kinesiology. In more recent years, her studies have been focused on clinical nutrition. She has graduated from several postgraduate Functional Medicine programs, including endocrinology, blood chemistry and brain chemistry. Prior to becoming a chiropractor and holistic health practitioner, Dr. Maria was a world-class ski racer; she placed 16th in the women’s downhill in the 1984 Olympics.

Functional Medicine uses scientific methods to discover underlying metabolic imbalances. It does not focus on symptoms and diseases but, rather, the imbalances that lead to them. Treatment includes the patient taking responsibility for their own health, supplements and lifestyle changes. Often even “holistic” or “natural” practitioners still focus on the symptoms and not the underlying cause of disease. Some of the conditions

S

Dr. Maria has great success with are digestion issues, thyroid problems, fatigue and depression, and more.

In January, Dr. Maria puts an emphasis on weight loss.

Weight problems are often due to metabolic imbalances. For example, blood sugar imbalances can cause cravings for sugar and carbs. Systemic inflammation can make you tired and take the motivation for exercise away.

Adrenal fatigue, which is a very common problem, can also make you tired, affect your sleep and your moods.

No matter what your health concern, Dr. Maria will help you discover the underlying imbalance that leads to disease and aging.

Pearl Cream

Available Exclusively at Lotus Boutique • 180 East Ave., Ketchum www.LadyBugProducts.net

aring for Your Skin: Interpreting the List of Ingredients of Moisturizers The “moisturizing” ingredient in a moisturizer is always some form of oil or petrolatum.

If water’s also an ingredient, it tells you two things: it’s an emulsion; and, it’ll require some other chemicals, too, because oil and water don’t mix.

But they can be made to by adding something called an emulsifier, which is a chemical stick: one end can only attach to water; the other can only attach to oil. So if you have oil and water and add a little bit of an emulsifier, you get an emulsion.

But now things get complicated. Once a sealed container is opened, even the purest water will in time go bad and allow

bacteria to grow. To prevent this, water-based creams and lotions must include an antimicrobial chemical as a preservative. Now you have water, oil, an emulsifier and a preservative, and it doesn’t end there. Depending on how all of these things blend together, it may be necessary to add a dye or fragrance to mask an underlying negative attribute.

The premise of Pearl Cream is to use the absolutely best moisturizing ingredient, pure pharmaceutical-grade petrolatum, and nothing else. It’s the best moisturizer, so why dilute it? And it won’t support microbial growth, so preservatives aren’t needed. And, lastly, why add a dye or fragrance that’ll surely irritate some percentage of users?

Pearl Cream. Pure. Safe.

Moisturizer.

Teen Sleep Habits

Almost 70 percent of high school students are not getting the recommended hours of sleep on school nights, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Researchers found insufficient sleep (< 8 hours on an average school night) to be associated with a number of unhealthy activities, such as: • Drinking soda or pop 1 or more times per day (not including diet soda or diet pop) • Not participating in 60 minutes of physical activity on 5 or more of the past 7 days • Using computers 3 or more hours each day • Being in a physical fight 1 or more times • Cigarette use • Alcohol use • Marijuana use • Current sexual activity • Feeling sad or hopeless • Seriously considering attempting suicide Adolescents not getting sufficient sleep each night may be due to changes in the sleep/ wake-cycle as well as everyday activities, such as employment, recreational activities, academic pressures, early school start times, and access to technology.

The following sleep health tips are recommended by the National Sleep Foundation: • Go to bed at the same time each night and rise at the same time each morning.

• Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, dark, and relaxing environment, which is neither too hot or too cold.

• Make sure your bed is comfortable and use it only for sleeping and not for other activities,

such as reading, watching TV, or listening to music. Remove all TVs, computers, and other “gadgets” from the bedroom.

• Physical activity may help promote sleep, but don’t exercise within a few hours of bedtime.

• Avoid large meals a few hours before bedtime.

If your sleep problems persist or if they interfere with how you feel or function during the day, you should the assistance of a physician or other health professional. Before visiting your physician, consider keeping a diary of your sleep habits for about ten days to discuss at the visit.

Include the following in your sleep diary, when you: • Go to bed.

• Go to sleep.

• Wake up.

• Get out of bed.

• Take naps.

• Exercise.

• Consume alcohol and how much.

• Consume caffeinated beverages and how much.

More information on Sleep and Sleep Disorders can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/sleep/ about_sleep/index.htm For further information—and a more comprehensive listing of recommended hours of sleep for different age groups—please see the National Sleep Foundation Web site at http://www.sleepfoundation.org/site An example of a sleep diary can be found at http://yoursleep. aasmnet.org/pdf/sleepdiary.pdf The National Sleep Foundation recommends that teenagers receive between 8.5 hours and 9.25 hours each night.

Dr. Maria Maricich to Offer Free Weight-Loss Workshop, Saturday Dr. Maria Maricich will offer a free weight-loss workshop at 10 a.m. Saturday at All Things Sacred in The Galleria building at 351 Leadville Avenue in Ketchum.

The weight-loss program is based on concepts from the GAPS diet, the hCG diet, the Paleo diet and effective detox programs. It is also meant to help heal a damaged intestinal tract,

which then helps heal the brain and heal any condition that involves inflammation. The workshop will address the main causes of weight gain, including metabolic imbalances, inflammation, and toxicity.

The program reduces inflammation, which can be caused by such things as food sensitivities, bacteria, parasites, fungus and blood sugar imbalances.

And it balances the metabolism.

Inflammation is the leading cause of aging and a big part of weight gain for many people, said Maricich.

Maricich will be accompanied by Shan McLean, a consciousness coach who teaches people to be the gurus of their own lives.

uring a 25-plus year psychology career, Christina Tindle, M.A., counseled a variety of people and issues from a traditional approach.

After a decade in the business, she switched to positive psychology to guide Olympic athletes in Steamboat Springs, Colo., for another 10 years beyond perceived physical, mental, and emotional limitations to reach dreams.

Fascinated with consistent success, Christina translated Olympic-style living and positive psychology to her entire life and practice.

Christina developed a unique Thrive Training from this discipline to offer individual sessions

or groups on how to thrive fully in life in any areas desired. It stimulates powerful, enjoyable, effective change. Additionally, she works with families, couples, individuals, and groups for those who seek responsive communication, conflict-free relationships, authenticity, a drug-free existence, clarity and direction in life with abundant joy.

Living life fully, Christina is a backcountry pilot flying the Idaho wilderness in a taildragger. She conveyed revelations from world-class competitors toward the mental proficiency required of pilots and, as a side niche in her practice, offers her motivational Woman Wise

“I run because if I didn’t, I’d be sluggish and glum and spend too much time on the couch.

I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore.

I run to escape the ordinary. I run…to savor the trip along the way. Life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense. I like that.”

ohn Vladimiroff received a B.S. in Occupational Therapy from the University of Puget Sound in 1974.

In 1997, he graduated from a four-year, guild-certified, and professional training program in The Feldenkrais Method®.

The Feldenkrais Method® is an educational approach based on the use of slow, prescribed movement as a way to increase one’s awareness and coordination. The method was founded on the premise that all persons develop limited (“unhealthy”) movement habits as a result of physical or emotional trauma or simply from behavior patterns being set to autopilot. Many individuals injure themselves as a result of repetitive, isolated movements of only a few joints.

Feldenkrais assists in modifying activity to disburse effort evenly through the system, thus reducing stress in any one location, resulting in increased comfort and efficiency.

The Feldenkrais Method® is

Western in its scientific basis, but feels Eastern in practice.

The method’s objective is not achieving a specific posture or isolating a particular muscle group for strengthening. The goal becomes improving the awareness and skill you possess in your day-to-day activities through the use of integrated transitional movements.

In the Awareness Through Movement® class, the focus becomes movement of muscles and joints in unusual and provocative ways. Muscle use is refined, joints lubricated, improving the body’s ability to work more comfortably through a large range of motion. This takes place in a “less pain – more gain” setting.

Awareness Through Movement® can also help a person prevent and recover from injuries, as well as increase enjoyment of current activities.

hen it comes to health, beauty and anti-aging, Nu Skin/Pharmanex products are some of the best in the world. Backed by tangible science and clinical studies, the products are guaranteed to improve your health, appearance and well-being. “Before I moved to Sun Valley, I lived in New York City for years and the humidity really helped my skin,” says Patsy Wygle, actress and teacher, who has lived in the Valley for the last six years.

After her first year here, she felt like she’d aged five. “My skin was really dry and the wrinkles were getting worse. My sister gave me a demo with the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa and I saw and felt a difference immediately. After six weeks my skin was smoother, healthier and the wrinkles were diminishing.”

Wygle decided that the products were so good she would become a rep for the company. Only then did she discover the full

health and anti-aging benefits that Nu Skin had to offer. Their signature vitamin, Lifepak Nano, is a nutritional anti-aging program formulated to nourish and protect cells. They can even measure the level of antioxidants in your body. “When I saw Dr. Oz using the Biophotonic Scanner on his television show, I knew this company was for real and decided to share the benefits with others.” says Wygle. “I feel (and look) better than I have in many years and am very excited about sharing this science.”

From Bombay to Ketchum Maria told me about how she was born in Bombay but moved with her family to Toronto, Canada, when she was 3. She became interested in Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture while working at a health food store in the charming European-style town of Nelson, British Columbia, which is a haven of alternative medicine.

She studied under the first Canadian to learn Chinese medicine in China and at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson.

“I always wanted to help people through medicine,” she said.

Maria did an internship with the co-author of the book “Healing with Whole Foods,” a bible for students of acupuncture and a primer on the healing power of foods and the regeneration diets used by cancer patients and those with arthritis. She began practicing in Toronto in 2004 and moved to Ketchum in 2007 with her husband Brett Morris, a coach with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.

“I used to have my daughter on my back when I treated people out of my home,” she said.

Acupuncture, which originated in China more than 20,000 years ago, found its way into the United States after President Nixon’s visit to China opened the doors between West and East.

Practitioners of acupuncture claim that they can affect the meridians—that is, channels of energy that run up and down the body—by inserting needles at 400 specific points on the skin.

A recent study of 18,000 patients

in Germany determined that it was more than a placebo effect.

In fact, acupuncture can be twice as effective as drugs and exercise, according to the analysis published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

“Acupuncture helps open up blockages that may have been caused by an injury—it allows the circulation of energy,” Maria said. “I had a 12-year-old with a broken arm that was not healing. The acupuncture prompted healing so they didn’t need to do surgery.”

Maria uses acupuncture and Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) to treat a variety of ailments, including migraines, allergies, fibromyalgia, asthma, allergies, acid reflux, PMS, sciatica, irritable bowel syndrome, morning sickness, bladder infections, addictions, flu, colds, coughs, numbness and more.

The latter involves neuromuscular sensitivity testing to determine what substances trigger reactions. It’s followed up by acupressure to eliminate sensitivities.

It was developed by a California doctor, Devi Nambudripad, who was allergic to everything but white bread, aspen trees, broccoli and silk, and figured out how to use chiropractic treatments and acupuncture to reprogram her central nervous system not to react to the things that were making her sick.

Nambrudripad and other doctors recently conducted a study of 56 autistic children who showed “significant improvement” after being desensitized, through acupuncture, to food and other things suspected of contributing to their autism.

“Sometimes it’s a matter of simple things. Some people, for instance, get stuffiness from eating cheese and they’re not even aware of it,” Maria said.

Sun Valley resident Kim Pe-

terson took advantage of Maria’s NAET treatments last spring to treat her allergies to rabbitbrush and sagebrush.

“I’ve been in this valley 20 years and had horrible allergies, even though I tried allergy shots.

I had wonderful results with the NAET treatments—I hardly had any effect from the rabbitbrush and sagebrush this year,” Peterson said.

“In addition, I received acupuncture treatments after having both my knees replaced and they definitely helped reduce inflammation. She’s a wonderful acupuncturist and the service she provides is wonderful because many of us probably couldn’t afford to receive treatments under the traditional pricing structure.”

I mulled all this as I let the needles “open the channels of communication” in my body.

Happily, I was much more relaxed this time around—the 45 minutes seemed to fly by.

I leave the office many more degrees less skeptical. I feel a nice, hopefully healing, burn from my knee on down my legs as I drive home. By the time I get home, I can stand and walk with scarcely any pain.

Now, if I can just get back skiing on track. But, I suppose, that’ll take a few more treatments…

Editor’s note: Please, no flowers for Karen. She returned for one more acupuncture treatment, then threw in a chiropractic treatment in which Dr. Maria Maricich, used an electric gizmo that reverberated like a woodpecker on her knee. Both treatments appeared to speed her recovery. Last we saw, she was chasing friends down Baldy and escorting the dog over hill and dale, still a little gimpy but with a big smile on her face. tws

Life Insurance Provides Children a Secure Future

Children are one of the greatest gifts to parents and grandparents. In the wake of this season of giving, one of the longest-lasting gifts for a child is a secure financial future. Life insurance can be a smart place to begin.

“Life insurance for kids gives them a solid financial foundation, helps them learn the value of savings and, best of all, shows you love them,” says Terry R. Downs, local Modern Woodmen of America financial representative. “Many people don’t think about life insurance for a young person, but there are many reasons why it makes financial sense.”

Affordability: Life insurance for children is available in a variety of affordable term and permanent options.

And premiums are based on age, which means they will never be less expensive. Purchasing permanent life insurance for children locks in lower rates for life.

Coverage: It also helps assure kids have life insurance throughout their lives by purchasing when they are young and healthy. Modern Woodmen term life insurance plans may be converted to permanent at any time without medical questions or exams.

Permanent life insurance plans offer the potential to purchase additional life insurance at stated ages without additional medical questions or exams.

Financial security: Life insurance can be used as collateral to secure college loans, and accumulated cash values can be used as a down payment on a home and for other loans in the future (for permanent plans).

Member benefits: Scholarship opportunities, youth service clubs, volunteer opportunities, benefits to orphans and more are available to Modern Woodmen’s youngest members.

January: Nat’l Stalking Awareness Month Living a life free of fear is a basic right for everyone. It goes against our values as a society when individuals who are stalked fear for their safety and freedom. When the rights of liberty and safety are violated, we have a duty as a compassionate community to help.

National Stalking Awareness Month in January 23013 is a time to focus on a crime that affects 6.6 million victims a year. This year’s national theme—”Stalking: Know It. Name It. Stop It”—challenges Idaho’s citizens to

fight this dangerous crime by standing up against the injustice that is stalking.

The Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault will offer stalking brochures to promote awareness and public education about stalking during the annual observance. Please call 208-788-4191 for more information or to schedule an appointment with an advocate if you believe you are a victim of stalking.

CYLP Compassionate Service-a-thon Scheduled for February 1 through 28 The Flourish Foundation is hosting a Service-a-Thon. The goal of this 28day program is to engage businesses in supporting Compassionate Young Leaders Program (CYLP) participants in local community service ventures and in fundraising for projects that make the world a better place.

During the month of January each student will pledge a certain number of expected community services hours to be begun and completed

during the month of February. The students will then take this pledge to local business leaders and seek out a monetary sponsorship ($20/hour) toward their community service hours.

All funds generated by the Compassionate Young Leaders will be invested in global humanitarian projects.

For information, contact Katie Corkery at 208-861-7061 or www. flourishfoundation.org

Fundraising Event Includes Everest History The first American expedition to Mount Everest is celebrating its 50th anniversary this spring. We are fortunate to have a sneak preview of the story of the people, their expedition, and what happened to them in the intervening years, as told by Broughton Coburn, author of a forthcoming book (Crown), “The Vast Unknown.” As a special treat, Wood River Valley resident Dr. David Dingman has agreed to appear and share his first-hand reflections and fill us in on his remarkable life since 1963.

In 1963, a time of political uncertainty, America set loose in the Himalayas a clan of fiercely brilliant, iconoclastic men with poet beards and laser-like eyes. Following their trajectories from the Tetons and Cascades to

T h e W e e k ly S u n •

ancient Kathmandu, the team suffered a death in the Ice Fall, then struggled with factionalism over the South Col and West Ridge routes—clearing the decks for three remarkable ascents by six climbers. But what happened after this iconic expedition was even more remarkable.

This fundraising event will be hosted by the Flourish Foundation at the Community Campus in Hailey on Wednesday, January 233 at 6:30 p.m.

All proceeds will benefit this year’s Compassionate Young Leaders Program, whose 15 high school junior and senior members are climbing the summit of compassionate citizenship through local and international service projects.
