Nordic Fest Continues STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

undreds of skiers kicked off the third annual Sun Valley Nordic Festival Saturday by kicking and gliding 11 miles from Ketchum to Hailey as they took part in the annual Ski the Rails. The event attracted adults, kids and pets, along with out-of-town visitors hailing from places like Seattle, New York and San Luis Obispo, Calif. They were greeted by cheers from those handing out refreshments at aid stations along the way, including a group of Community School students who served up some yummy chocolate kiss cookies and chocolate chip cookies they’d cooked the night before. “This is my second year,” said Kirsten Barker of Twin Falls. “I love it because it’s dog-friendly, well organized and they have shuttle buses and refreshments!” “I’ve never done anything like this before,” said Yvette Stepp, a Seattle resident who had been skiing Sun Valley’s Nordic trails for the past few days. “My fifth year,”said John Shelly of Bellevue. “Gotta keep it up.” The Nordic Festival continues through Sunday with the high-energy sprints, concert and snowshoe dance competition on Thursday, the Boulder Mountain Tour on Saturday and free demos on Sunday. The schedule:

Today:

The inaugural WinterSun Classic will take place at 10 a.m. at the Sun Valley Nordic Center at the Sun Valley Golf Course. The 10- and 5-kilometer mass start races are a precursor to the 2013 U.S. National Masters Championships, which will be held in Sun Valley. Entry fee: $15 for the 10k and $10 for the 5k, with registration beginning Tuesday and ending at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Nordic Center. Information: 208-622-2250 or 208-721-8340. The second annual Sun Valley Ski Hall of Fame Induction will be held at 4 p.m. at the Ketchum-Sun Valley Heritage & Ski Museum at First and Washington streets in Ketchum. This year’s honorees are Dick Durrance, Warren Miller, Janette Burr Johnson, Pete Patterson, Michel Rudigoz, Bill and Annie Vanderbilt, N’tala Skinner, Charley French, Hans Muehlegger and Jenny Busdon. Live music and drinks will accompany the event. Three-time Olympian Jim Galanes, who finished eighth in the 4-by-10kilometer relay at the 1980 and 1984

add Mansfield confesses he’s never been much of a talker. He has Asperger syndrome, a form of autism, which not only has inhibited his social interaction, but has frustrated his ability to understand what his teachers want of him. But this past year the Wood River High School senior discovered that he has a unique talent for communicating—through film. In fact, he’s been asked to show a 45-minute documentary he made of another special child at Bellevue Elementary School at the Idaho State “Tools for Life Conference” in March. Mansfield will discuss his challenges and strengths as an individual with special needs at the conference, which focuses on transition to adulthood and independence for high school students with special needs. “Student presenters at this conference are not common, so this is especially exciting,” said Kelly Choma, who coordinates the Blaine County School District’s Parent Information Center, which provides information and resources about special needs and learning differences to families and professionals. To prepare for the conference, which will take place in Wallace, Mansfield will offer a free showing of his film, “Days with Marley,” to the public at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Wood River High School’s Distance Learning Lab. “This is a student who walked into Wood River High School with his head down and not really socially participating. And, due to his finding his passion—making films—he now realizes he has an asset that the world values,” said Tadd’s teacher, Jamie Ellison. “His is one of the most remarkable transformations I’ve ever seen.” Because of his Asperger syndrome, Mansfield, who turned 18 on Friday, has long had low self-esteem and socialization skills. He’s been in special education classes and had to learn coping strategies

favoring visual rather than auditory clues. The Bellevue youngsters made a video in Chet Olson’s video production class and it morphed into his senior project. The video is of Marley Chapman, an 8-year-old with a rare brain disorder called Lissencephaly, which causes her to have seizures and trouble walking and communicating. Mansfield spent day after day filming her at school and including her mother Natalie talking about her special young lady. The video captures Marley’s indomitable spirit and her contagious smile. “Nobody meets Marley without falling in love with her,” Choma said. “She has a hug for everyone. Both Tadd’s and Marley’s stories are very powerful and convey the message that strength and beauty reside in all people despite their challenges.” Mansfield said he first realized the impact of movies when he watched Clint Eastwood’s movie “Grand Torino,” which prompted him to do a little research to see how Eastwood came up with his ideas. He made a few small videos for the school news service, in addition to his film on Marley. Now he’s working on a Special Olympics ski video and a farewell video for one of his classmates. And he plans to attend Full Sail University— one of the world’s premier art, music and film schools—in Winter Park, Fla., to study filmmaking. “I dabble in film, but he has real talent,” said Ellison. “I can give him 20 minutes of film and he can pick out the 30 seconds that are meaningful. He’s risen above his own disability, figured out what makes him go and he’s running with it. People tell me: ‘He’s come so far I can’t believe he’s in your (special education) program.’ ” Tadd credits his teachers for helping him realize success. “In elementary school, I had a hard time figuring out what my teachers were telling me

2011 Ski Hall of Fame Inductions Tonight STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

H

ans Muehlegger first tested skiing on skis he fashioned out of cast-off military skis since there were no ski shops in his tiny Austrian village of Auffach, which lay at the end of the road in the Tyrolean Alps. Muehlegger displayed the same eagerness to try the sport of mountain biking when it was in its infancy, putting big tires on road bikes. Muehlegger excelled in both those sports, winning a silver medal in the World Masters Mountain Bike Championships and designing biking and hiking trails for White Clouds. Hired as a ski instructor by Sun Valley Company in 1966, he served as Ski School supervisor from 1977 to 1987 and director of the Ski and SnowSports School from 2000 to 2010. And when he wasn’t busy with those endeavors, the soft-spoken man with a shock of blond hair pursued the sport of Nordic skiing, winning 10 national Masters cross-country championships, a silver medal in the World Masters Cross-Country Relay Race and serving as director of Sun Valley Nordic operations from 1987 to 1999. Muehlegger will be honored for his contributions to skiing at 4 p.m. Wednesday when he and nine others are inducted into the Sun Valley/Ketchum Ski Hall of Fame. The ceremony will be held under heat lamps in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park at First and Washington streets. Others being honored: • Charley French, a former Scott USA engineer, who developed a ski boot, motorcycle boot and goggle and bicycle front shock fork, doing much of his product testing on Baldy. A world championship triathlete and Ironman, French has won his age group at the American Birkebeiner, raced two World Cup races and is still competing in Boulder Mountain Tours and other races at the age of 85. • Pete Patterson, who grew up in a home at the base of Warm Springs. Patterson went on to become a two-time Olympian at Innsbruck in 1976 and Lake Placid in 1980, placing fifth in the Lake Placid downhill—an American best at that time—despite horrific crashes

that would have ended other skiers’ careers. Since retiring from racing, he has served as a heli-ski guide in Sun Valley. He also leads adventure travel groups in Chile, Greenland and the Himalaya. • Warren Miller, who has instilled a passion for skiing with his films for more than 60 years. Miller started his filmmaking career when he and a friend camped out in Sun Valley’s parking lot where they lived in a teardrop trailer and earned their dinner as ski instructors. He has made more than 500 sports films and published several books about skiing. • Ntala Skinner Quintilio is a Sun Valley native who competed on the U.S. Olympic Biathlon Team in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994 and in Nagano, Japan, in 1998. She won three national championships and one World Cup bronze medal, all while serving in the Idaho National Guard. She and her husband Kevin Quintilio, a Canadian Olympic biathlete, live on a ranch in Alberta, Canada. • Jannette Burr Johnson, who competed on the U.S. Olympic alpine team in 1952 in Oslo, Norway. She was also a champion water skier, having first skied on water skis her father built in the basement of their Seattle home. Her alpine ski racing triumphs include two downhill titles and five Harriman races on Baldy. Burr, who still lives in Sun Valley, also skied as a double for Lucille Ball in the film “Lucy Goes to Sun Valley.” • Michel Rudigoz, a native of Lyon, France, coached the British Alpine Ski Team in the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. Then he moved to Sun Valley where he coached the Junior Alpine Team. He also coached the U.S. Men’s Downhill Team and the U.S. Men’s Alpine Team, which featured such stars as Andy Mill, Phil Mahre and Pete Patterson. And he coached the U.S. Women’s Downhill Team, which featured Susie Patterson, at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y. Head coach of the U.S. Women’s Ski Team from 1980 to 1984, he coached Christin Cooper, Tamara McKinney, Abbi Fischer, Holly Flanders and Cindy Nelson to the National Cup in 1982. And he coached the 1984 U.S. Women’s Olympic Team in Sarajevo where

Christin Cooper and Debbie Armstrong won silver and gold medals. • Bill and Annie Vanderbilt ran Bigwood Ski Touring Center in Ketchum for five years, beginning in 1983, teaching youngsters to ski and serving up Annie’s Sinfully Delicious Brownies. They bought the Valley’s first Pisten Bully for setting skate ski tracks in 1984, upgrading to larger snocats that could set tracks for both classic and skate skis as the sport grew in popularity. They also co-directed in the Boulder Mountain Tour from 1985 to 1989. • Jenny Busdon, a native of England, taught at the Sun Valley Nordic Ski School for 11 years, competed in World Cup Masters cross-country races and in 1995 won a gold medal for the U.S. Relay Team. She is, perhaps, best known for her work in saving Galena Lodge from the wrecking ball and raising the money to get the Blaine County Recreation District to groom Nordic tracks all season long. tws

n a snowstorm of controversy, Marcel Hirscher of Austria won another slalom event in Schladming, Austria, in front of 45,000 fans and just 30 minutes from his hometown. Earlier in the week, it had been suggested that he straddled gates in his Adelboden and Zagreb wins. There’s an honor system in skiing. If observers and judges miss an error, you’re supposed to report it, much like in golf. His competitor, Ivica Kostelic, was incensed, but calmed down after the judges reviewed videos and found no mistakes. Stefano Gross was second and Mario Matt took third in this night event. Kostelic just missed the podium by .01 sec. Ted Ligety was sixth. In the weekend races, the women were in Switzerland’s ritzy St. Moritz. Friday’s supercombined was a Val d’Isere make-up. In perfect conditions, Lindsay Vonn found speed on the relatively flat Engladina course (‘sneaky difficult’) and won the downhill portion by 1.4 sec., typical of her margins of victory in the downhills this year. She gave a second of that time back in the slalom, but still bested Tina Maze by .4 sec., with Nicole Hosp in third. On Saturday’s 1.5-mile downhill, Vonn continued her dominance by repeating Friday’s performance, again winning by 1.47 sec. Lindsay finds speed where others can’t, at least in the speed events. In the slaloms, the tables are turned and it is others who find the speed. Maria Riesch was second and Tina Weirather of Lichtenstein placed third, just ahead of Tina Maze. With a half season to go, Vonn has eight wins—her entire total for last year, when she ceded the overall title to Reisch. This was her third downhill win this year, her first ever here, and her 49th career win. The Americans had a good day. Mancuso finished fifth, Leanne Smith seventh, and Laurenne Ross, 16th. The men were in Garmisch, Germany, where Didier Cuche of Switzerland won again on the heels of his win last week in Kitzbuehel. Guay, the leader in the training runs, was second and Hannes Reichelt of Austria was third. No Austrian has won a speed event this year. The course was shortened by almost a mile because of heavy fog on top. Bode Miller was late for his Friday training run, and his 16th-place finish was pushed back to 46th as punishment. On Sunday’s super-combined, Vonn led the super-G part by .23 sec, not enough to overcome Germany’s Maria Hoeflr-Riesch’s slalom run and got second, a mere .03 sec. behind her main rival. Nicole Hosp of Austria was third and, as usual, Tina Maze was not far behind in fifth. Regardless, Vonn had a great weekend. tws

St. Thomas Playhouse invites you to Girlfriends Luncheon STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

irlfriends: You’re invited to enjoy a touch of Siam in the King’s honor. St. Thomas Playhouse is inviting women to their annual Girlfriend Cabaret Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8, at Elkhorn Springs Restaurant in Elkhorn Village. The elegant three-course “Getting to Know You!” luncheon with wine and champagne will be prepared by chef Laura Apshaga, formerly of Soupçon and The Blue Room. And there will be musical entertainment featuring songs from “The Music Man,” “Footloose” and the Playhouse’s production of “The King and I.” Proceeds from the cabaret luncheon will benefit the Playhouse summer camps for children and youth and its family musical, “The King and I,” which will be presented in October. The musical is based on the true story of an English governess who ventures to Siam—now Thailand—in the 1860s to care for the King’s 67 children. There the widow finds a progressive-minded king who wants to introduce Western traditions and teachings to Siam. And she finds herself becoming increasingly attracted to him. “We’ll have auditions in May, though we won’t begin rehearsing until fall,” said Playhouse Director Cherie Kessler. “And virtually every kid who tries out gets in.” To go along with the Siamese theme, Apshaga, who now performs her culinary magic at Rickshaw, will prepare a Thai-themed cuisine, including green papaya salad, chicken veggie Thai and jasmine rice, and

chocolate, coconut and green tea cookies. There will be entertainment by a barbershop quartet, a duet featuring R.L. Rowsey and Isaac Brannon and an additional song by Brannon and Luke Mauldin. There will be an opportunity to win one of six raffle packages for $5 (five tickets for $20). One raffle package includes quilting, knitting, and painting lessons offered by Susan Perin, Margie Gould and Lynn Dominick. Another includes private singing lessons with Dick Brown and an acting session with Claudia McCain. A third includes a $100 gift card at Sun Valley Resort, tickets to “Forever Plaid,” a fly-fishing lesson from Tim Eagan and a free demo ski rental by D2D. A fourth offers a gift certificate to The Cornerstone Bar and Grill, 10 Magic Lantern movie passes, a $30 Java gift card and two tickets to ”The King and I.” The fifth includes four tickets to a Company of Fools play, a res-

taurant gift certificate, a private cooking class with Janey Reynolds and a manicure/pedicure/facial from Chic. The last includes a manicure and pedicure from Bella Donna, facial treatment at Zephyr Wellness, massage and beauty products from Sun Valley Remedies, $100 gift certificate from lululemon and one of Richard Odom’s yoga DVDs. There also will be a live auction featuring a four-course gourmet dinner for 10 catered by Page Klune with musical accompaniment by R.L. Rowsey; an original storyboard art piece by California Impressionist artist Duncan Gleason from the movie “The Yearling”; and a walk-on role as a member of the King of Siam’s harem in “The King and I.” Tickets to the luncheon are $125 with $95 of that tax-deductible.

Nordic Ambassador Bob “Hummingbird” Rosso STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

hey bid on everything from Tom Teitge’s plaster relief map of the Wood River Valley to Bob Rosso’s rock climbing tour to the City of the Rocks. And when all was said and done, the Galena Benefit raised about $180,000 to help maintain Galena Lodge and groom the cross-country ski trails, said Jim Keating, director of the Blaine County Recreation District. “We’re very grateful,” he added. The 400 people attending the 16th annual Galena Benefit at Sun Valley’s Limelight Room gave a standing ovation to Bob Rosso, who was named Nordic Ambassador of the Year. “There are always a few people who make a big difference,” said Sun Valley’s head Nordic coach Rick Kapala. “(Bob) has gone far beyond that with the impact he’s had on cross-country skiing. And he has carried the load for a long

time.” Rosso opened The Elephant’s Perch ski and outdoors store in an old stage stop building in 1976—a good 10 years before skate skis were invented. He helped start the Boulder Mountain Tour and sat on the inaugural Blaine County Recreation District Board. He has served on the Galena Advisory Board for 20 years, helping to oversee the building of the bike path that runs between Ketchum and Bellevue and the cross-country ski trails north of town. And anytime there’s a silent auction or giveaway, you can be sure there’s a gift basket with The Elephant Perch’s name on it. “He represents the true spirit of Nordic more than anyone I’ve known,” said Kapala, noting that Rosso had earned the nickname “Hummingbird” because of his vigor. “He even coached my wife back when he coached the Nordic team.” tws

Jenny Busdon congratulates Bob Rosso as he’s honored as the Nordic Ambassador of the Year.

T

im Cope’s horses were stolen five days into his 10,000-kilometer journey across the Mongolian steppe. But the Australian persevered as he followed the trail of Genghis Khan. Boulder, Colo., climber Cory Richard simply wanted to document his ascent of a 26,362-foot Himalayan peak. But he brought back a film that documents the horror of getting buried in an avalanche. And Jordan Halland, a 31year-old freelance filmmaker from Coeur d’Alene, kayaked two miles to the Mendenhall Glacier each day for a week to film a young man climbing the blue ice for his eight-minute film “Blue Obsession.� But he soon found himself being sucked into what he said was “a foreign world.� “It was amazing to stand where few people will ever stand,� said Halland. “You get out on the glacier and it’s an unbelievable huge swath—all you see is ice. And we walked an eighth of a mile into an ice cave and the light was so bright and so blue that we didn’t even need lights.� You can follow all three of these exploits Friday and Saturday night when the Banff Film Festival on Tour comes to the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. “Tim Cope has the fortitude that I wish I had—able to leave life for three years and go solo in the tracks of Genghis Khan with only three horses and a dog. It is a great story,� said Michael Boge, who organizes the tour every year. “ ‘Cold’ is incredibly intense, puts a person on the edge of their seat and really delivers. It is a great story and I am thrilled that Cory Richard left his camera on. And Jordan Halland’s dream was to have a film at the Banff Mountain Film Festival. Well, he’s done it and it’s a great film,� Boge added. Doors open at 6 p.m., the program starts at 6:30 p.m. and the films start at 7 p.m. A different lineup of films will be shown each night. Tickets are $13 for each night bought in advance at The Elephant’s Perch, Backwoods Mountain Sports and Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum. They will be $15 at the door. As always, there will be an incredible raffle for more than $10,000 in prizes, including a day of heli-skiing for two with Sun Valley Heli-Ski Guides. Raffle tickets can be purchased at Backwoods, The Elephant’s Perch, the Sun Valley Nordic Festival sprints on Thursday night or at the event. Proceeds from the raffle and sales of pizza, beer, wine and other refreshments will go to Friends of the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center, which provides daily forecasts and educational workshops during avalanche season. Proceeds from the sale of movie tickets also support the Satipo Kids Project, which

Banff Film Festival to Feature ‘Blue Obsession’ enables 34 Peruvian children to attend school. Halland says seeing his film on tour is a dream come true: “Our goal was to make it into the Banff Film Festival—we thought to get it on tour was a long shot. To have Banff take it all over the world and show it to thousands of people is awesome.� Here’s the schedule:

FRIDAY

Women’s Figure Skating Championship BY BALI SZABO

I

t was the usual mix of hopeful sprites and the more mature women in San Jose at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Ashley Wagner, the self-described perennial ‘almost girl,’ won the event by skating a great routine in the long program. She won because she didn’t land on her butt. She landed her combinations, her doubles, her triples and used her great spinning technique to post a 184 combined score. Her

competition, Alissa Czisny and Agnes Zawadzki, fell and fell and fell. Alissa had great ice presence, she was graceful and energetic, in tune with her music, but landed on her tush twice, and on this night she became the ‘almost’ girl. Agnes and Alissa were No. 1 and No. 2 after the short program, and finished with Alissa getting the silver and Agnes the bronze. Without the spills, they would have been the top two. The top four finishers go on to the World Championships. tws

Australian Open Men’s Final Results BY BALI SZABO

T

he stage was set. The Spaniard, Rafael Nadal, and the Serb, Novak Djokovic, their third straight Major final, with Novak winning the last two, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. The mixed international crowd brought their banners. Spain’s red and yellow national colors dominated the stands, with a few Serb red, blue and white colors as accent. History repeated itself, and Novak Djokovic (Djoker) won his third straight final against the crowd favorite, ‘Rafa,’ three sets to two. It wasn’t easy. What began at 8 p.m. Australian time ended five hours and 53 minutes later. The match became the longest final in tennis history. It looked to be over early. ‘Djoko’ came out sluggish and barely dropped the first set to Nadal, but then won the next two, 6-4 and 6-2. He was routinely breaking Nadal’s serve, a sub-theme for the entire night. It was hot and humid, and by the middle of the fourth set, with ‘Rafa’ serving, it was 3-4, love-40. One more Novak point, and for all practical purposes, this match would be over. But

not so fast. Nadal fought back from that love-40 to win the game, and later, the set. For the first time, these two were going to a fifth set on this of all nights, in the heat of Australia. There were no easy games— most went 40-40. A lot of points were long, shot after shot challenged the lines, the two were running from side to side. After a long volley and a won point, Djokovic laid down like a snow angel, while ‘Rafa’ stood, doubled over. Nadal survived a tie-break and led 5 to 4. With few unforced errors or aces, the points had to be won. ‘Djoko’ held the serve to make it 5-5. He then broke Nadal by winning a tie-break. It was 6-5. Djokovic, serving for the match, won the game, the set, the match. The historic 5:53 marathon was over. As they say, there was no winner or loser, only a survivor. It was Nadal’s seventh straight loss to Djokovic in a final. In the women’s final on Saturday, 22-year-old Victoria Azaranka of Belarus dominated three-time Major champ Maria Sharapova. Victoria is also No. 1 in the world, for now. tws

briefs Stuffed Animals Sleepover Thursday

Ms. Carolyn’s story times at the Hailey Public Library get even more exciting with the Stuffed Animal Sleepover. This special event begins with a Pajama Storytime on Thursday, February 2nd at 6 p.m. Soothing stories and lullabyes help your child put a favorite stuffed animal to sleep at the library. Children should bring a favorite doll or stuffed animal, and be prepared to let it sleep over at the library. After a lively evening of stories, songs and games, the children say farewell to their critters. What adventures will the stuffed animals have at their sleepover? “It’s such a fun concept,” says Amanda St. John, HPL’s Technology Services librarian. “Librarians babysit the stuffed animals, photograph their activities and mischief, and develop a storybook of events for children to review.” Stuffed animals can be picked up on Friday, February 3rd. Each child participating will receive a commemorative photo at a later date. For more information about this event and children’s story hours, please call the library at 788-2036. Visit HPL online at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

Family Snowshoe

The Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters will offer Saturday snowshoe treks for the whole family. Enjoy treks on February 11, February 25 and March 10th at 11 a.m., meeting in front of the Visitor Center parking lot. “We will learn about winter ecology and animal tracking, enjoy fun snow activities, and explore at a slower pace,” says Susan Kranz, Sawtooth National Recreation Area Visitor Center manager. “Using snowshoes will give kids a chance to investigate snowy habitats and discover what animals do in winter. We might find tracks leading to a home under a log, or witness a chickadee nesting in a tree, and perhaps toss a bit of fairy dust around.” Kranz is referring to what some young children call the shimmering ice crystals on top of a snowbank on a clear blue day. The tours are free to children 12 and under, and a limited number of adult and children’s snowshoes will be available. Be sure to register as soon as possible and reserve your snowshoes if needed to ensure a spot on the tour. Children 6 and under must be accompanied by an adult. The tours will last about one hour and go for about ¾ to 1 mile. For more information and to register, call the Sawtooth National Recreation Area at 727-5013.

As The Arrow Flies BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT KSKI-103.7

O

ne of my favorite new bands these days is Heartless Bastards, who started out in Cincinnati, Ohio, but now call Austin, Texas, their home. Their last album, 2009’s The Mountain, is a collection of straight-up rock that sounds like Patti Smith filtered through Keith Richards with a touch of Afghan Whigs thrown in for good measure. Their fourth album, Arrow, takes the band to new heights without ever losing any of their indie credibility. With the new album comes the addition of a second guitarist, but only that gives vocalist and guitarist Erika Wennerstrom the chance to stretch out vocally and really lean into her lyrics, giving songs like “Parted Ways” and “Late In The Night” the nuance that makes their songs so memorable. Arrow’s songs range from bluesy acoustic numbers like “Low Low Low” to the slow-to-boil opener “The Marathon” which, at six minutes and 10 seconds, lives up to its name. The atmospherically twangy

COURTESY ART

“The Arrow Killed The Beast” sounds like Vaughn Monroe’s “Ghost Riders In The Sky” being sung by The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde; I know that sounds like a weird juxtaposition, but it works for me. The anthemic “Got To Have Rock And Roll” gives a tip of the hat to Marc Bolan with its T. Rex-ian choogle, while “Only For You” has Wennerstrom taking her voice to the upper registers for some near-soulful crooning. All these things make it an album that you’ll be able to listen to over and over. This Arrow definitely hits its mark. tws

movie review

Movie Recreates an Icon Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

I

t takes some real chutzpah (for lack of a better word) to try to portray Marilyn Monroe on the big screen. Indeed, she carried a presence that the cameras adored in such a way that there has never been anyone even remotely like her since her early and tragic demise. For that reason, the real story behind the new film My Week with Marilyn is the stunning performance of actress Michelle Williams who gave such a striking turn in last year’s Blue Valentine. Williams bears no real physical resemblance to Marilyn, yet in certain shots you are sure that you are watching the real thing, which is a great testament to her talent. Recently, and deservedly, nominated for an Oscar for best actress, Williams gives you all the facets of the screen legend, from her insecurities to her

insurmountable sexuality, in the role of a lifetime. The film itself is enjoyable as directed by Simon Curtis. Based on the supposedly true story of the relationship between Marilyn and a third director, Colin Clarke, on the set of the ill-fated 1956 production, The Prince and the Showgirl, My Week with Marilyn gives us a behind-thescenes look at the tempestuous relationship between the star and her director and co-star, Laurence Olivier, played expertly by Kenneth Branagh. Late for work and ingesting pills and alcohol, supposedly she took a liking to Clarke when her husband Arthur Miller left the set in London for a week to visit the states. Clarke’s chaste but loving interlude with Marilyn is the heart of the story. Also present is the theatrical subtext of Olivier’s distaste for The Method and for Marilyn’s relationship with her acting guru, Lee Strasberg—sort of a clash of the acting-styles titans. The end result was a commercial flop that still showcased Marilyn’s magic. Of course, there is also Williams’ magic that makes the film eminently tws watchable.

eter Henderson, a pianist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, will join Sun Valley Artist Series Artistic Director Susan Spelius Dunning for “An Evening of Piano Classics” at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. The concert is one of four in this year’s Sun Valley Artist Series. Henderson will play two of Beethoven’s most powerful piano sonatas—“Pathetique” and “Appassionata”—during the first half of the program. Following intermission, Dunning will perform the Grieg Piano Concert, last played live in the Valley by Jean-Yves Thibaudet during the Sun Valley Summer Symphony’s concert season last August. Henderson will accompany Dunning on a second piano. “This performance is a special one for me,” said Dunning. “The concert will be similar to an earlier concert we played our first season, which was one of our biggest concerts. What could be more beautiful than two

Steinway grands on stage?!” Henderson, assistant professor of music at Maryville University, has played in each of the Sun Valley Artist Series seasons. Last year he accompanied young cellist Ben Hong. “I’m excited about returning to the Valley and seeing my friends again—I feel really close to the community,” said Henderson, who served as an orchestral and chamber keyboardist with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony during four seasons. He is also excited about presenting what he calls “Beethoven’s fiery side.” “ ‘Pathetique’ represents Beethoven’s young, fiery side,” he said. “And ‘Apassionata’ is incredibly exciting. It has one of the most explosive conclusions in all the piano sonata repertoires.”

oelle Clark got her prom at 40. And everybody had so much fun, the idea has evolved into a Sweetheart Dance for Valentine’s Day. The Blaine County Fair Board will sponsor the dance, which is suitable for the entire family, to raise money for improvements to the fairgrounds in Carey. The dance will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, at the Community Campus in Hailey. Cost is $25 for couples and $15 for singles, available at the 4-H Extension Office, The Golden Elk, 620 N. Main St. in Hailey, or by calling Morgan at 720-5220. Children 12 and under will be admitted free. “When I turned 40, I had a prom and it was so much fun—I believe you should celebrate your birthday, not bemoan it,” said Clark. “Friends have been asking me when I was going to have another prom. So when the fair board wanted to come up with a fundraiser that was something different than a spaghetti fundraiser, we thought: Why not an affordable dance that families can take part in?!” DJ Shane Manning, a former Hailey police officer, will play pop and country music from the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. And adults and kids alike can indulge in “The Macarena,” swing dancing and music to twist and shout by. Formal attire is encouraged, but church-going attire is welcome, as well. Proceeds will help the fair board upgrade fair buildings so they can be used year-round, not just at fair time. “We’re hoping that men who might have no idea what to do for Valentine’s Day will take advantage of this event and surprise their wives, making this Valentine’s Day a memorable one,” said Clark. tws

Downhill Racer, Stelling BY JONATHAN KANE

A

manda Stelling, Wood River High School senior, has a need for speed. She scratches her itch through skiing, which she has been doing since she was three years old. “It’s been the passion of my life. It’s just something I’ve always done and I’m pretty good at it. My goal has always been the Olympics and, despite two knee surgeries, it’s what I’m shooting for and I hope to continue skiing competitively in college,” she said. Born in Sun Valley, Stelling has lived her whole life in the same house. Before Wood River, she attended Hemingway Elementary and Wood River Middle School. “We’re all spoiled to have grown up here. It’s incredibly beautiful here and there is the clean air and the quality of life in a small town. We also have this incredible mountain all to ourselves and there are so many great outdoor activities like biking and hiking. It’s also a high-class resort, but it’s not like other places, like Aspen, which can be really expensive. It’s a lot easier to live here. I don’t know if I’d like to live in a city—it might be too busy for me—but I might give it a try for a year. The bad part about a small town is that you had better not get into fights with your friends because everyone will know about it. On the flip side, the community is so tightly knit that if anything goes wrong there are so many people here to support you.” For Stelling, skiing has always been her escape. “I started

skiing when I was three years old on Dollar Mountain and competed in NASTAR races where we would win a pin or a medal. By nine years old, I was skiing Baldy and joined the Hailey Ski Team.” Stelling now skis for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation but has been set back this year by knee surgery. “It’s my second one, and I had it in August of this year because the first surgery was botched. I just graduated early from Wood River with plans to compete this winter, but that’s all been put on hold. My knee was tracking out of place; it’s called joint mice. The first injury was a fluke, as my knee popped out in a race. All I remember is that I finished the race.” Stelling’s competitions focus on four disciplines—slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill. “My favorite is giant slalom because that’s what I’m best at. You need a lot of weight for downhill, so that holds me back a little bit. I also get to travel a lot as sometimes you can be on the road for weeks at a time. Last summer I was lucky enough to go to Australia for three weeks. The people were incredible but the conditions were very wet and the mountain was incredibly crowded. On the whole, they’re not very good skiers, so it was pretty entertaining watching them get off the lift and ski into each other.” As for Baldy, Stelling has only good things to say. “It’s just a great mountain and getting better. We also have all the improvements to Dollar, which is great. We also get great training opportunities to train on both

Amanda Stelling

mountains that we didn’t have before. Dollar has great flat light and more terrain than we can find on Baldy.” As to why she is so passionate about the sport, Stelling doesn’t hesitate. “It’s just such a super adrenaline rush. It combines all the aspects you look for in a sport and I love to compete. But it can also be super frustrating because you can think you’ve done well but your time ends up not being what you thought it was. But it’s so awesome when you do well and that’s what keeps people in it.” Let’s hope she has a successful recovery and reaches her dreams in the sport. tws Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student.

Jenny Busdon, who got Robin Williams and Lance Armstrong to donate one of Lance’s bikes to the Galena Lodge benefit auction, says she can’t believe she’s being honored in the same breath with such ski legend giants as Warren Miller.

Busdon: Ski Hall of Fame STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he phone call caught Jenny Busdon off guard. “Hello, Jenny. It’s Bette Midler from Los Angeles. Jeramie Dreyfus recommended you to teach me to skate ski‌â€? Busdon did go ahead and show Midler, who she said was in great shape from her dancing movies, how to scissor-kick her way down the tracks at the Sun Valley Nordic Center. And she has taught hundreds more, including comedian Robin Williams and his family. But, she’s gone beyond simply introducing people to the sport. She’s one of the foremost reasons Nordic enthusiasts come from all over the world to ski the 200 kilometers of tracks the Blaine County Recreation District grooms from Hailey to Galena Lodge. And she helped ensure that those same skiers could enjoy star-gazing dinners at the rustic Galena Lodge. Busdon will be rewarded for her tireless crusading on behalf of Nordic skiing in the valley at 4 p.m. Wednesday when she is inducted into the Sun Valley/ Ketchum Ski Hall of Fame at the Ketchum-Sun Valley Heritage & Ski Museum, along with nine other Nordic and alpine skiers. “There would not be the valley trails or Galena Lodge if it were not for Jenny Busdon,â€? said Keith Perry, the Blaine County Recreation District’s former board president. “She raised a tremendous amount of money to save the lodge and groom the trails and she’s never stopped.â€? Born in Litchfield, England, Busdon fell in love with a young immigrant from Trieste, Italy, while visiting her sister in Vancouver, B.C. Jenny and Nello Busdon married two years later and moved to Whistler, B.C., then a town of 50 people with only one gas pump, a garbage dump and a couple of chairlifts. When Nello took up cross-country skiing, Busdon followed, figuring she would rather cross the finish line on her own two skis than stand beside it cheering her husband on. The two moved to Sun Valley in 1984, lured by the sunshine. Nello built homes. Jenny kept books for Backwoods Mountain Sports. When Galena Lodge closed its doors in the early 1990s, Busdon put down her ski poles long enough to convince skeptical BCRD officials that they could sell enough cross-country ski passes to groom a trail running between the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters and Galena Lodge. “It seemed so daunting at the time. We thought, ‘Who wants to pay for cross-country ski trails where you have no chairlift, no ski patrol. It won’t work,’ â€? Perry recalled. “But Jenny loved Nordic skiing so much and she wasn’t afraid to go out and raise money.â€? That was just the beginning for Busdon. A few years later, when it looked as if the historic

January 4, 2012

“There would not be the valley trails or Galena Lodge if it were not for Jenny Busdon‌She’s never stopped.â€? –KEITH PERRY

Galena Lodge would fall to the wrecking ball, Busdon led another charge to raise money. Overnight, she found her mailbox stuffed with stock certificates and checks for $5,000, $1,000, $500, $100. The biggest check came from Teresa Heinz, who pledged $325,000, provided others would match that amount for an endowment to keep the lodge running. To keep money coming for day-to-day operations, Busdon organized the Galena Benefit Dinner and Auction. She organized a Gourmet Ski Tour, which attracted the attention of Al Roker’s “Roker on the Road� Food Channel TV program. And then she and Dick Hare raised a half-million dollars to supply electricity to the lodge to wean it off its noisy propanepowered generator. “She’s like a bloodhound,’’ said Nello Busdon. “She gets scent of something and she goes for it.� When Busdon’s not looking for garage sale bargains or sipping her daily cappuccino, you’ll find her training for world-class masters-level ski races. She’s won gold medals in World Masters races and skied in both the 58-kilometer Norwegian Birkebiner and the American Birkebiner. And on Saturday the perky, petite blonde in her distinctive white ski outfit will scoot her skis to the starting line of the Boulder Mountain Tour—something she’s done every year since 1984, save for a couple instances when she was recovering from injuries. On Saturday night Busdon presided over the 16th benefit dinner she’s organized to raise money for Galena Lodge and the trails. “I have such a great passion for Nordic skiing because you get all that fresh air and you just have such a great feeling when you’re finished. As Robin Williams says, ‘It’s the endorphins,’ � she said. “But it’s because of the generosity of the local community that we have what we have here with the fabulous Pisten Bullys and everything else. So many Nordic centers don’t have what we have. But our trails couldn’t get any better.� tws

Orthopedic Technology Update

BY GLEN D. SHAPIRO, M.D., FAAOS

P

latelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is blood plasma with concentrated platelets and other growth factors. The concentrated platelets found in PRP contain huge reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including growth factors and signaling proteins that are vital to initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. More than a dozen different growth factors can be isolated from human blood. These bioactive proteins initiate connective tissue healing and can be used in all different parts of the body including: the knee, for ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair; in the elbow, for treatment of lateral epicondylitis—the dreaded “tennis elbow”; in the shoulder, for rotator cuff tears; in the lower leg, for hamstring injuries and Achilles tendinopathy; and now there are trials using PRP for the treatment of osteoarthritis which are yielding promising data. Trauma, bone and articular cartilage injuries promote regeneration and repair which, in turn, promote development of new blood vessels and stimulate the wound healing process. PRP signals the body to send in stem cells to repair the area of injury. Typically, PRP injections can be done in an office setting. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment option for various orthopedic injuries and conditions which have traditionally required surgery or other extensive treatments.

PRP injections are being utilized in orthopedics with increasing frequency and effectiveness. Injuries currently being treated with PRP therapy are arthritis of the hip, knee, shoulder, ankle and other joints. PRP also is utilized for soft tissue injuries such as tendonitis, muscle sprains and tears, and various types of ligament injuries. Some day, many common tendon injuries, such as tennis and golfers’ elbow, Achilles tendonitis and knee tendonitis, may be treated with PRP. Although PRP technology is considered “cutting-edge,” it was initially developed more than 20 years ago for cardiac surgery to aid wound healing and decrease blood loss. The benefits of PRP have been widely used in Europe for many years. To prepare PRP, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient’s arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins and separates the platelets from the rest of the blood components. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes and increases the concentration of platelets and growth factors up to 600 percent. Using the patient’s own blood, specially prepared platelets are taken and re-injected into the affected area. These platelets release special growth factors that lead to tissue healing. By using the concentrated platelets, we increase the growth factors up to eight times, which promotes temporary relief and stops inflammation. The science and technology

of PRP medicine is in its infancy but there is much to be learned from the data available. We all know that the human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. PRP facilitates the natural healing process by providing the stem cells to help repair the area. When considering treatment, we must maximize the healing environment and attempt to optimize healing. Smoking, alcohol, poor nutrition, and anti-inflammatories can diminish stem cell release and should be avoided. The platelets work by causing an inflammatory reaction and diminishing the natural inflammatory reaction can significantly decrease the chances of having a good result. PRP may or may not be the right thing for you. What I can assure you is that I can give you the most up-to-date information in the Valley on PRP and what’s happening in orthopedics and sports medicine in 2012. www.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, While I was at college, most of the guys loved reading your column each week. Now that I am home for the summer, I find myself working a minimum wage job flipping burgers in the 90-degree weather. This job got me thinking about a senior I met at college. The interesting part about him was that he paid most of his tuition by buying and selling stuff over the summer in the classifieds. Sometimes it was things he found that someone was tossing out. Other times he found a good deal on a car or dirt bike and would buy and resell it for more. Apparently those experiences of knowing how to negotiate helped him land a sweet and high paying job after school. Since I don't think this deep fat fryer job is going to last, I'm wondering if I should try the same thing. Do you think his job is right for me?

• • •

Cash: It's great to hear of people

using the classifieds, especially when it can pay for college tuition. However, before you rush off to follow in his footsteps, make sure you are up for the challenge.

Fast Facts Study Break

Reader Humor Take Out

Getting a good education can be expensive. Today the average college senior graduates owing $20,000 or more in student loans. Yet despite the escalating rates of college tuition, many students can find ways to get an affordable education. About 65% of students enroll in four-year colleges or universities that charge less than $12,000 a year. Fortunately, it is money well spent. People with a bachelor's degree earn nearly twice as much as those with a high school diploma.

My son has never been the neatest child. In fact, my wife spent her days cleaning up after him while he was in high school. So when summer came and he got a job as a bus boy at a nearby restaurant, we were quite proud of his initiative. Since he was no longer around much for dinner, we took to eating out most nights and often dined at my son's restaurant. Although on the second week, he stopped by our table. Obviously embarrassed that we frequented the establishment, he asked, "Why do you guys insist on eating here so much?" Smiling back, my wife replied, "We just like seeing you clean up after us for a change!" (Thanks to Sanford N.)

Earn Your Keep Carry: It's one thing to use the

classifieds recreationally to buy your first car or some of the items you need for college. In those cases you can save a lot of money on the items you need. It's a different story when you want to turn buying and selling into a profitable business. Cash: Your friend probably had the right personality to fit the job. He likely enjoyed negotiating with people to buy or sell items. It also sounds like he had an eye for spotting the value of things, even when people were throwing them away. Carry: Improving your skills of working with people and negotiat-

ing can definitely be an asset. In your friend's case, he not only paid for his college tuition, but his skills also seemed to play a role in finding his "high paying" job. Cash: If doing that type of work sounds like fun to you, then you should sit down with your friend and ask him more specifics about what he did. Maybe you could invite him for a burger! Carry: However, remember that trying to make a summer's wage from buying and selling can take a lot of work. So if you're simply looking for a way to make more money for school, you may want to first turn to the employment section.

At some point in our lives, most of us need to get a job regardless of the pay scale. Today about 1.5% of the work force earns minimum wage with about 67% of them working part time. And since most of us started our working careers in jobs like these, it's no wonder that nearly half of all minimum wage workers are between the ages of 16 and 24. Statistics also show that the average family income of these young workers is about $65,000/year.

Feb. Workshop on Public Relations for Nonprofits

“Public Relations for Nonprofits� is the title of a two-session workshop to be presented by the College of Southern Idaho Blaine County Center at the Community Campus in Hailey from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7, and Thursday, Feb. 9. Topics will include learning the difference between public relations and advertising, writing a press release and using social media. Instructor is Jo Murray, principal in Jo Murray Public Relations, with locations in Ketchum and San Francisco. Although the workshop will focus on nonprofits, many of the principles also apply to businesses, Murray said. The workshop is part of a series of classes on nonprofit management presented by CSI in cooperation with the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation. Tuition is $40, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the women’s foundation. To register, contact the CSI Blaine County office at 788-2033 or www.csi.edu/blaine.
