F

riesen Gallery’s glass exhibition, at 320 First Ave. N., is certainly a must-see as you head out on Gallery Walk between 5 and 8 p.m. Friday. There are some other noteworthy exhibitions as well, ranging from Gail Severn’s exhibit featuring the work of part-time Sun Valley artist David deVillier to Gallery DeNovo’s “Abstractions.” Wendy Jaquet will lead a free tour leaving at 5 p.m. from the Sun Valley Recreation Center in Sun Valley Village. The tour will meet others about 5:15 p.m. at Gilman Contemporary on Sun Valley Road. Jaquet said her tour-goers appreciate getting to listen to gallery owners and artists talk about their works. “They learn why something might cost $20,000. They learn about the sculpture Dave McGary has in the U.S. Capitol so the next time they go there they’ll be able to say they met the artist in Sun Valley,” she said. Here’s what to look for Friday evening: Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave. N., is featuring part-time Sun Valley artist David deVillier’s “No Endings/ No Beginnings: Circles, Xs and Figures Found.” deVillier’s human forms are influenced by primitive stone carvings and the paintings of the late deaf Boise artist James Castle and Bill Traylor. Raphaelle Goethals has layered wax and resin, pouring, scraping off, scratching into the surface, and effacing in her “Anamnesis” works. Both deVillier and Goethals will entertain questions during a free Artist Chat at 10 a.m. Saturday at the gallery. Coffee and refreshments will be provided. Gallery DeNovo, at 320 First Ave. N., is featuring “Abstractions” by Quim Bove in its main floor gallery. A group show featuring new works by Canadian artist Michel Beeaucage and other international artists is upstairs. Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Fifth and Washington streets, will feature a short talk by Hailey art teacher Bob Dix at 6 p.m. Dix, known for his found-art works, has covered the walls and ceiling of The Center’s Project Room with charcoal and ink drawings that reflect his JapaneseAmerican heritage. The installation dovetails with the gallery’s current exhibition, “Crossing Cultures: Ethnicity in Contemporary America.” The exhibit features a

inny Carpenter piles a towering stack of Granny Smith and Braeburn apple slices into a pie crust. When he plops the last one on top, he breaks out into a song from “Miz Saigon.” “The happy chef!” says gallery owner Gail Severn, watching Carpenter’s dimples emerge as he smiles. It’s not an uncommon scene at the Tranquility Teahouse where Carpenter frequently sings his favorites from Josh Groban and Broadway musicals as he works. After all, there’s nowhere he’d rather be than the kitchen. “My personality is how I cook—fun!” he exclaims. It’s tough to get Carpenter out of the kitchen. Since coming to Sun Valley in 2007, he has been spotted in numerous restaurants, including Rasberrys, Cristina’s and Sego’s. If he has a rare day off, he simply scoots over to another restaurant. He’s done workshops on gluten-free quick breads and pies and other dishes

at Tranquility Teahouse and Rudy’s—A Cook’s Paradise in Twin Falls. And when he’s not behind a stove, he can usually be found chatting up his favorite products at Ketchum Kitchens. In addition, Carpenter works behind the scenes to set up the tent, order the food and tools chefs need for their demonstrations, prep food and supervise College of Southern Idaho students as they prepare samples of the dishes at the Sun Valley Harvest Festival. “Vinny is the backbone of the Sun Valley Harvest Festival,” says Festival co-chair Ed Sinnott. “Once we decide who the chefs are going to be, he takes over from there, doing all the coordinating that needs to be done.” Chef Vinny, as Pam Colesworthy at Tranquility Teahouse calls him, hasn’t wanted to be anywhere but the kitchen since he was a youngster growing up in Miami, Fla. He was at his mother’s side, baking cookies, quick breads, chicken potpie and goulash by the time he was 7. “The kitchen… Mom making dinner… was very calming for me,” he recalls. “We always sat down for dinner no matter

how busy the day, even if it was just for a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. Food was always something that brought my family—my parents and my two older sisters—together.” Carpenter passed up shop to take home economics—he even skipped his lunch break in eighth grade so he could assist the teacher with the sixth-grade home ec class. When school was out, he’d head to the deli department at Publix Super Market where his mother’s co-workers would let him put on a plastic apron and help them prepare deli items. At Johnson & Wales University in his hometown of Miami, he’d show up at 7 in the morning, and work until 10 p.m. each night, doing extracurricular work building gingerbread houses, decorating wedding cakes and crafting showpieces featuring petit fours and sugar flowers. After landing his first job at the Naples Golf Resort at The Ritz-Carlton, Carpenter gladly traded the beach and sultry weather for the mountains and milder

Girls on the Run Screen ‘Miss Representation’ BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he numbers are disturbing. The United States ranks just 90th in the world when it comes to the representation of women in national leadership. Women hold only 3 percent of the clout positions in the mainstream media. And a whopping 65 percent of women and girls have dysfunctional eating behaviors. You can learn more when Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley presents a free showing of the 90-minute film, “Miss Representation,” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the Community Campus in Hailey. The free screening was made possible by Blair and Mimi Clark. The film first premiered in the documentary competition at the Sundance Film Festival where it caught the eye of OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. It challenges the media’s often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which it purports make it difficult for women to achieve leadership or to feel powerful. “The collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a

woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty and sexuality and not in her capacity as a leader,” say filmmakers, who feature interviews with people like Nancy Pelosi, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Gloria Steinem and Condoleezza Rice. Mary Fauth, who founded Girls on the Run of the Wood River Valley, said she was drawn to the issues the film raises because of the work she and Girls on the Run do with girls’ self-esteem, body image and providing positive peer group interaction and healthy adult role models. “The fact that 38 percent of teenage girls are starving themselves to lose weight and that 48 percent want to be as skinny as models, who are not a realistic representation of a healthy and normal body image, made me realize we need to be discussing this in a bigger way,” she said. “I’ve seen the film probably five times now and can tell you that it’s hard to look at media the same way. The Super Bowl commercials and half-time show epitomized that awareness!” Informational booths representing such organizations as Girls on the Run, Wild Gift, Swiftsure Ranch, The Advocates, Environmental Resource

Center, Blaine County Education Foundation, Crisis Hotline, Sun Valley Wellness Institute, Mountain Adventure Tours and Nurture will offer information prior to the screening. After the screening, there will be a panel discussion facilitated by KECH News Director Dayle Ohlau and Mountain Adventure Tours operator Matt Gershater. A group of Wood River High School students will film the discussion and interview attendees for a media project supported by the WOW-students.org organization. The committee that put the showing together includes Fauth, Mimi Clark, Rebecca Rusch, Julie Carne, Jody Stanislaw, Shannon McLean, Deb Hobart, Angela Burrell, Cynthia Carr, Julie Dahlgren and Katja Peller.

Community Leaders Rant for V-Day 2013 Inspiration to change the world is something Rebecca Rusch knows well as the “Queen of Pain” and ranking as one of the world’s top endurance athletes. For Rusch, winning is more than her four victories in the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race, where she set a new course record of 7 hours, 28 minutes and six seconds. It’s about making a statement as a woman breaking barriers. “My initial confidence comes from doing sports with all girls,” said Rusch about her passion for sports and competition. “It’s very powerful what happens when we push ourselves. As a mature athlete, it’s important to spread the word, especially to inspire young women.” Rusch said she always heard about Eve Ensler’s rants, and when the opportunity came up to take part and support The Advocates, it was an idea

that hit home for her. Rusch said she is laying the future groundwork for women through advocacy and getting involved. Performers joining Rusch in reading selections from Eve Ensler’s “A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer” at The Advocates’ V-Day event include Scott Creighton, Chantal Westerman, Emma Steussi and Anika Lyon. In addition, The Dirty Feet Dance Company has arranged several dance pieces to perform as part of the benefit evening. Performances will begin at 7 p.m. at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum, on Friday, Feb. 22, and Saturday, Feb. 23. Tickets for the event are $15 for students, $30 for regular seating, $50 for reserved seating and $75 for reserved front-row seats.

See Verdi’s Rigoletto in Hailey, Saturday Verdi’s “Rigoletto” will be broadcast at 11 a.m., this Saturday, Feb. 16 at the Big Wood 4 Cinemas in Hailey. Taking the 19th-century opera by Giuseppe Verdi, director Michael Mayer has set his bold new production of Verdi’s towering tragedy in Las Vegas in 1960: an ideal setting for this conflict of depravity and innocence. “Rigoletto” is an opera in three acts based on the play Le roi s’amuse by Victor Hugo. It was first performed at La Fenice in Venice on 11 March 1851. Despite serious initial problems with the Austrian censors who had control over northern Italian theatres at the time, the opera had a triumphant premiere and is considered by

many to be the first of the operatic masterpieces of Verdi’s middle-to-late career. Its tragic story revolves around the licentious Duke of Mantua, his hunch-backed court jester Rigoletto, and Rigoletto’s beautiful daughter Gilda. Approximate running time is 3.5 hours. Sun Valley Opera and Metropolitan Theatres are the local sponsors of the MET HD: Live broadcasts. Tickets can be purchased at the theatre box office in Hailey in advance or on the day of the opera. General admission tickets are $22, seniors $20 and students $18. For more information contact Big Wood 4 Cinemas at 208-578-0971.

McDonagh’s Newest Play at nexStage The nexStage Theatre is proud to present a reading of award-winning Irish playwright Martin McDonagh’s viciously dark and hysterically funny new play, “A Behanding in Spokane.” The reading is at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 26, and will run approximately one hour and will be free of charge. As part of the nexStage’s ongoing playreading series featuring the works of top playwrights, this is the fifth McDonagh play that has been presented

at the nexStage. The excellent cast includes actors Scott Creighton, Charlotte Hemmings, Keith Moore, and Jon Kane, who will also direct the reading. Be forewarned: This play contains offensive language and subject material. Bloomberg News called it “Insane yet also fiendishly funny,” and the U.K. Telegraph said it was “irresistible.” Call: 726-9124 for more details of our playreading series.

hough the beauty of an aspen grove in winter is truly magnificent, from December to April they become a somewhat neglected and overlooked piece of the landscape for the general population. However, when we consider the aspen’s very existence in our harsh, winter ecosystem, it leads to a fascinating discovery about this incredibly well-adapted tree. Aspens thrive year-round throughout montane ecosystems. They survive long, harsh winters in places where other naturally occurring deciduous (or leafbearing) species are seldom found. So how do aspens manage to thrive where other deciduous species cannot? The answer starts with the changing leaves. The green we see in leaves during the summer is chlorophyll. Sunlight works with chlorophyll to facilitate photosynthesis, which is how plants make their food. In higher, drier latitudes where sunlight and resources will be scarce for a portion of the year, deciduous trees pull their food-making ability—chlorophyll—back into their trunks and roots to conserve energy during the winter and store the food they produced during the summer. In the process, leaves change color, then drop. However,if you were to scrape a very thin layer off the white bark of the aspen, you would find a layer of green underneath! This is because aspens have chlorophyll under their bark, allowing them to photosynthesize all winter long. This is just one of the awesome adaptations that allow the aspen to flourish as an iconic element in our ecosystem. This wraps up the ERCbeat winter series. Check back next week for information on toxins in cleaning products. Contact the Environmental Resource Center at reduce@ercsv.org or 208-726tws 4333.

Get Distracted With the Fools Y BY KAREN BOSSICK

ou won’t need Ritalin or Adderall to get through “Distracted.” The Company of Fools play promises to be a fast-paced romp that even utilizes music and video images splashed across embedded TV sets to help tell the story of a couple trying to figure out what to do with their son, who is either dysfunctional or just different. “It’s a wonderful dialogue about our over-stimulated society,” said Director Denise Simone. “It asks: Are we so tuned into our 24/7 information-rich world that we’ve tuned out what really matters?” Lisa Loomer’s play examining the quandary of whether to medicate children who exhibit severe behavioral problems opens tonight with a Pay What You Feel preview. The play runs through March 1 at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. Max Albright plays 9-yearold Jesse, who is seldom seen but often heard—loudly so and increasingly angrily so. His teacher wants to move him to a special education class because she has 27 other students to manage, leaving her precious little time to deal

with his fidgeting and temper tantrums. Mom, who has precious little time to spend with her young ’un because she’s so busy meeting with psychologists, psychiatrists, homeopaths and even an environmental physician, ponders Ritalin on the advice of Jesse’s teachers, doctors and even the neighbors. Dad’s not so sure. “Can’t a boy be a boy anymore?” he asks. As the noise gets louder, the play builds to a distracted climax—even Jesse’s parents’ marriage is in peril, thanks to the tumult revolving around their son. The play stars Andrew Alburger as the father and Beth Hilles as the mother. Others in the play are Jana Arnold, Christine Leslie, Claudia McCain, Traci Otto, Joel Vilinksy and Jennifer Jacoby Rush. The actors and Dr. Evelyn Johnson and Anne Clohessy of the Lee Pesky Learning Center will conduct a special discussion centering on questions raised in the play following the 3 p.m. performance on Sunday, Feb. 17. Despite the serious subject matter, the fast-paced 75-minute play, which made its off-Broadway debut in 2010, is funny and easy to digest, said Simone.

“The best way to look at an issue is where you’re laughing but you’re willing to open yourself up,” she said. Joel Vilinsky, a seventh-grade teacher at The Community School in Sun Valley, has seen first-hand what parents go through as they try to figure out how to help children who are exhibiting behavioral problems. To medicate or not medicate often becomes the question as they ponder whether their children could have attention deficit disorder. “I feel for the parents as they try to figure out how to help their kids,” he says. “It’s a tough road. I can’t imagine what they go through. This play allows you to see the inside of a mom’s mind as she tries to process everything being thrown at her. What it comes down to is: Love your child. That’s the bottom line, regardless.” While the play is played with a lot of humor for such a serious subject, it’s also a thought-provoking one that will prompt a lot of conversation, said Claudia McCain, who plays a neighbor who has attention deficit disorder and two challenged children. “It’s very emotional—comedy is always rooted in a lot of realtws ity and truth.”

ndria Friesen is sporting a new line of jeans at Friesen Gallery. You can’t wear ‘em, as they’re made of

glass. But the works blown by Cassandra Straubing are mind-boggling to contemplate. “Just feel this!” Friesen said, inviting me to do what I’m always secretly yearning to do when I look at art. I don’t hesitate, running two of my fingers down the seams of the blown-glass jeans. I can feel the threads, just as I feel the threads in my wear-a-day jeans. “I don’t understand why they didn’t disintegrate in the process of casting,” said Andria, shaking her head in disbelief. Cassandra Straubing, the glass sculptor who created the jeans, is the glass faculty head and studio coordinator at San Jose State University and a blowtorch-carrying member of the prestigious Bullseye Gallery, which is presenting the exhibition with Friesen Gallery. One of her works resembles a flattened pair of jeans—her representation of the bricklayer’s labor “that was paved over years ago and forgotten.” Another sits on a chair that’s supposed to be strapped to the back of the ole jalopy as it caravans west leaving behind the dusty roads of Oklahoma. A third—a folded shirt—supposedly came off the back of a miner as he returned to his empty house to bathe and retire for the night. Straubing said her latest work explores the sociological aspects of working-class garments and the tools of blue-collar labor—how they define a person externally and internally. The clothing covers “the vulnerable and fragile body,” but the transparent glass allows viewers to see through superficial definitions. “These objects become a symbol of what a person does to contribute to Western society. They become a skin, defining a person’s economic and social position, as well as their gender role,” said Straubing. Straubing is one of six artists represented in the Bullseye Gallery exhibit. • Richard Parrish, an artist and architect who grew up in Pocatello, has created what resembles an LP record a yard in diameter. It was inspired by the Scottish architecture and armaments he encountered while serving a residency in the Highlands country. And it is made out of glass, even though it looks as if it were made out of bronze. • Michael Rogers, who spent 11 years in Japan as head of Aichi University’s Glass Department and is now a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, has created a couple of amazing cast and engraved glass wall sculptures weighing 50 pounds each that were based on old frames and etched with handwritten text . One, for instance, features a bird with widespread wings underneath the handwritten text of poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. His plates containing glass skulls were inspired by vanitas—a genre of still-life painting that flourished in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. Vanitas commonly featured skulls, books and flowers as not-so-subtle reminders of transience and the inevitability of death. • Dante Marioni, who learned glassblowing from his father and masters like Lino Taglipietra, has

Cassandra Straubing says that glass has the ability to display a ghostly reminiscence that represents a personal history or memory left behind. Even more recent work uses mending as metaphors for the cleansing and repair of damaged emotions as uncomfortable personal history is cut out and new pieces stitched together to create a new life.

created glass acorns crisscrossed with acorn-like designs that can be mesmerizing, even dizzying, to stare into. • Australian glassblower Giles Bettison has joined together an ancient Venetian glass-working technique of fusing and cutting bundled glass canes into patterned slices with American-made colored sheet glass to create some beautiful vases. • And Kate Baker, reportedly the hottest artist in Australia right now, has created “what resemble glass paintings of dreamlike figures often in a state of flux. “Bullseye is so renowned that many artists are now saying they’re blown Bullseye glass artists instead of blown glass artists,” said Andria. “Recognizing that they catered to the top blownglass artists in the world, Bullseye decided to open a shop to exhibit their work. And this exhibit is a representation of that.” Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. tws Sundays.

o. 23 Logan Smith blew away the field—both boys and girls—in the 7- to 8-year-old race at the Croy Cup Kids Race put on by The Papoose Club on Sunday. Her sister, Samantha, came in second. Thirty-eight racers competed in the race, which had to be moved to the Sun Valley Nordic Center due to poor snow conditions at Croy Nordic in Hailey. “Attendance was down quite a bit from the years that the race has been in Hailey, but okay considering the last-minute change in venue,” said Tizz Miller. The Papoose Club will hold its annual Kindercup alpine race Sunday, March 10, at Dollar Mountain. Costumes are encouraged. The free event features ski and snowboard races for kids ages 3 to 12. All racers will receive a commemorative pin for their efforts and an award ceremony for the top finishers will follow the race at 12:30 p.m. Pre-registration is at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge, Sturtevants Mountain Outfitters in Hailey and Ketchum, Formula Sports and Radio Shack. Races begin at 10:15 a.m. RESULTS: 4 & Under Boys, classic: Levi Renner 3:27; 4 & Under Girls, classic: Torin Vandenburgh 3:18; 5 & 6 Boys, classic: Wyatt Miller 2:45; 7 & 8 Boys, skate: Holden Archie 6:35, Luca Mathieu 6:53, Alec Weideman

Audrey made this pear fennel salad.

ood River High School senior Audrey Brassil, carrying a 3.9 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, wants all of us to eat healthier. To that end, she has set her sights on becoming a nutritionist and is currently a part of the Wood River High School Culinary Academy. “We all need to be eating healthier,” Brassil said. “My goal is to do it in such a way that things still taste good to eat.” Brassil admits that her main impetus is that she loves food and, after moving here at the age of one from Cape Cod, she started cooking at age five because she wanted to help her mother with dinner. “Now I can’t get enough and really love cooking for friends. But as I got older I wanted to shift away from unhealthy foods that we all love, like cupcakes, and find a better way to eat.” Today, Brassil is in her second year as part of the academy, along with four other seniors. There are nine first-year students. “Each year we receive three menus of three dishes that

we master and then go to a state competition in April and prepare those dishes in front of judges. Our goal is to be as proficient as possible in preparing those menus. We also learn to prepare snacks that we sell during the year to students after school.” Prior to the academy, Brassil took beginning cooking classes her freshman and sophomore years. “Today, as part of the academy, we meet four times a week with Mrs. Pratt during the last period of the day. We have six kitchens in the lab and we work on things like how to sell food and organize a game plan for selling and how to prepare certain dishes. My favorite dish last year was fennel and pear salad, which I made adjustments to, like adding spinach and pecans. It was a simple dish but really delicious and it was a lot of fun to prepare. “Unfortunately, I missed the state competition last year because I had a tennis tournament but our class won the silver and the seniors got the gold. Unfortunately, this year, the menus are

not as exciting because, basically, they are simple chicken dishes, but it’s always fun to try to be creative with them.” At the academy, Brassil also does volunteer work, like participating in souper suppers at the Catholic Church in Hailey. “It really makes me feel good to be involved and it has also shown me that we can find a way to make more nutritious meals for everybody and what the health results would be like. That’s really why I want to study nutrition. I know that there is a lot of chemistry because in certain classes you study how different ingredients interact and affect each other. I want to come up with really good dishes for friends in areas like gluten-free food. There are also a lot of job opportunities in the nutrition field. There are a lot of areas of major concern and I can see myself working in a school or hospital really making a difference.” It goes without saying that making a difference is the least of what Brassil will be accomplishing. tws

<;8$ ')" (&') Winter Fishing!

A

lthough most people’s vision of winter recreation in the Wood River Valley revolves around sliding on snow and ice, for others winter is a peaceful time to don waders and stand in the icy waters of the snowbound rivers for a chance at some of the best fishing opportunities of the year. The “Cast and Carve” (fish and ski) is a complementary ideal winter vacation, yet many people travel to the region specifically to fly-fish in the winter setting. One of the reasons is that the Big Wood River is one of the best fishing wintertime freestone-rivers in the west. The Big Wood River is very productive this time of year because of the geothermal springs that buffer cold winter water temperatures. The colder weather and river-sculpted snow banks are not the only feature that contrasts winter from summer fishing. Fly fishing in the winter is different from the summer in that: the fish hold in different waters; the smaller fish (less than 10-12 inches) are rarely caught in the winter; and although there are 2-3 times more winter anglers than there were 5-10 years ago, there still aren’t too many other anglers out on the rivers. Although the hardcore experts are often inspired to fish in the winter, it is also a great time of year for anglers of all levels to enjoy the sport. Beginners often have great success due to the lower river flows that accommodate shorter casting distances. The winter bug hatches (yes there are many insects with blood like antifreeze crawling in the rivers and on the snow banks) consist of midges, little-black winter stoneflies, blue-winged olive mayflies, and occasionally skwalla stoneflies, and October caddis flies. In addition to these bug hatches, anglers also find success using subsurface imitations or: sculpin minnows, fry, leeches, scuds, golden and salmon stonefly nymphs, and a variety of caddis and mayfly nymphs. The Sturtevants’ Hailey store has an assortment of imitations for these trout foods along with a full guide staff willing to take you to their favorite winter fishing spots and teach about “the guides’ time of year” to fish.

movie review

Revealing The Secret Life of FDR BY JONATHAN KANE

Three and a half bees

S

ometimes, certainly more often than in their big-budget counterparts, a small, independent film hits all the right chords and, all the aspects that make a great film — script, acting, direction, cinematography and music — come together in such a way as to create a terrifically entertaining movie. Such is the case with the light and humorous new film that looks at the private life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt — Hyde Park On Hudson – Hyde Park being the President’s retreat in upstate New York as well as being his mother’s home. In addition to the marvelous and subtle direction of Roger Michel

and the excellent screenplay from the renowned playwright Richard Nelson, a lion’s share of the credit for the film’s success goes to its star Bill Murray. For those of us old enough to remember his first tentative steps on Saturday Night Live, after being thrown in to replace the show’s star, Chevy Chase, his film career and growth as an actor has been a marvel to behold. This is his third triumph in as many years with Get Low and Moonrise Kingdom. Here he creates a marvelous character – a man of wit that had the pressure of the world’s fate on his shoulders. Also excellent is Laura Linney as the fifth cousin that he takes as one of many lovers and through whose eyes we view much of the film.

The story takes place in 1939 and revolves around the crucial social call of King George V (Bertie as immortalized in The King’s Speech) and Queen Elizabeth. Roosevelt is facing staunch opposition from his countrymen not to enter the looming war and the King has come hat in hand desperate to win America to England’s side. The film is chock full of beautiful and touching moments too numerous to mention here. Chief among them is the all-night meeting between the two world leaders over brandies as Roosevelt charms and seduces his guest as well as the hysterically funny picnic scene that takes place the next day. Hyde Park On Hudson is a marvel and should definitely be placed on your mustsee list. tws

Nuggets, from page 1 climate of Sun Valley. He joined Ketchum’s Tranquility Teahouse at Sixth and Washington streets full time in June when Colesworthy decided she wanted to expand her glutenfree offerings. “I said, ‘I don’t have any experience with gluten-free, but I can buy books and learn,’ â€? Carpenter recalls. He lined the shelves in the kitchen with such books as “Asia Grill, “Mastering the Art of French Cookingâ€? and “The Silver Palate Cookbook.â€? And he brought in huge containers of gluten-free oat flour, baskets full of Mojito mint and other herbs from Purple Sage, and items like coconut sugar and agave syrup, which he often uses in place of Karo syrup. At Tranquility, Carpenter serves up weekly Winter Dinner Feasts featuring such entrĂŠes as Coq au Vin, Moroccan chicken, chicken cacciatore and slowcooked meatloaf paired with blueberry-pear tarts, pumpkin flan and other desserts. The display case features a variety of lemon bars, chocolate cakes, breakfast muffins and scones—all gluten-free, all tasty. There’s always a soup of the day, whether it be an African peanut chicken soup that warms even the grayest of days or white bean and kale or chicken noodle soup. He also caters to tummies with quiches and casseroles of the day, roasted turkey, provolone and cranberry panini sandwiches using rosemary garlic bread, thin-crust pizzas and salads. He knows most of the customers by name, along with whether they like cream and sugar with their tea. “I want to do what my mom did—offer really good homecooked meals—good food at good value. I want people to feel at home here. I want them to feel like they’ve come to my house,â€? says Carpenter. Carpenter offers gluten-free options for nearly everything he makes, including the chicken potpie. That’s endeared him to people like Barbara Kuhn, whose daughter can’t eat gluten. “I love the way he shares his knowledge,â€? says Gail Severn. “He’s always sharing tips and techniques you can’t find in cook-

books.� “Vinny is delightful and very knowledgeable,� adds Geri Herbert, who has taken a couple cooking classes from him. “He’s done a lot of baking and he makes what he knows so accessible to the home cook. I’ve been to so many cooking classes where the recipes are so complicated you’ll never do them at home. His recipes are good for busy lives. And he’s always ready to explain the science behind something if you ask him.�

Quick bites with Chef Vinny: What do you order when you eat out? French onion soup. Like French bread, it’s easy to make but it’s also easy to screw up when you don’t cook it long enough or don’t use fresh herbs. Other favs? Flatbread steak and Cuban sandwiches. Kitchen tool you can’t do without? A hand scraper. Other tools? I often measure things with my little finger—I don’t have time to go find a measuring spoon. Biggest disappointment? I thought my grandmother had the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world—imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be on the back of the package of chocolate chips! Best cooking advice? Don’t think about it. Don’t sweat the small stuff, especially when you’re doing something like decorating a cake. Typical day off? I stay in bed until 1 p.m. if I’ve had a busy week. I also like to go camping, hiking, shopping at The Gold Mine. And, yes, I cook dinner, even at home. It’s that family thing. tws

he Joy Formidable is a band of many changes; they started out in Mold, Wales, as Tricky Nixon, broke up and morphed into Sidecar Kisses, then broke up again and reformed as The Joy Formidable in 2007. Guitarist Ritzy Bryan and bassist Rhydian Dafydd are the core (and founders) of The Joy Formidable, and it comes out in their sound—textured walls of guitars with fluid basslines. Their second release, Wolf’s Law, is full of dark, yet poppy, shoegazing guitar rock with enough hooks to fill two albums. Fans of My Bloody Valentine, Lush, The Pixies and The Pains of Being Pure At Heart will find The Joy Formidable a nice addition to their collection. They lack the ethereal (and sometimes almost incoherent) lyrics of My Bloody Valentine, the tonguein-cheek lyrics of Lush and the crazed rants of The Pixies, but they’re all good starting points of reference. The album’s opener, “This Ladder Is Ours,� takes its time getting a head of steam, but once it gets there, it roars. The momentum never stops; the second song, “Cholla,� just plain rocks and that surging energy only momentarily takes a break about halfway through the album with the break-up ballad, “The Silent Treatment.� Then, it’s right back onto the sonic bullet train with “Maw Maw Song.� The songs oscillate between bludgeoning and soothing; a non-stop sonic rollercoaster that leaves you wanting more. Wolf’s Law is, from beginning to end, a tour de force to be reckoned with. Loudly. tws

Caritas to Perform Dvorak Number BY KAREN BOSSICK

ntonin Dvorak composed his “Mass in D� for the birthday celebration of a wealthy patron. But you won’t be confusing it with the “Happy Birthday� song. The piece by this Czechoslovakian composer is rousing, powerful and very melodic. And it will get airplay this weekend when the Caritas Chorale presents “Mass in D� at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. Both concerts are free, although donations are welcome. “It’s a piece very few people know. It’s extremely beautiful,� said Choir Director Dick Brown. “I’ve done it four times and every time I’ve found something new.� The premiere of Dvorak’s piece took place in a small Luzany chateux chapel in what was then Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. The church was too small for a large orchestra and choir so it was originally performed by a small chorus with four soloists and Dvorak at the organ. Dvorak later expanded it so it could be played by a symphony orchestra at the request of the English Choral Society. But the Caritas Chorale will perform the first version, which many consider the preferred version as it deftly displays his ability to combine harmony, melody and counterpoint in a work for four voices. The Caritas Chorale, which performed Dvorak’s “Stabat Mater� in 2005, will feature 60 choir members and four soloists: Soprano Amy Staiger, Alto Jeanette Gambrel, Bass Rob Farnham and Tenor Clifford. C. Sharp. David Tacher, a Boise harpsichord player and builder and longtime harpsichordist for the Boise Baroque Orchestra, will accompany the choir on organ. Tacher has been part-time organist for St. Thomas Episcopal Church since January 2012. Dvorak, who lived from 1841 to 1904, was known for his symphonies and chamber music. It’s

generally acknowledged that few symphony composers also created beautiful liturgic music. But Dvorak, considered one of the most versatile composers of his time, did just that composing a large number of sacred music that is still performed today, in addition to operas, serenades, concertos, gypsy songs and other forms of music. Much of his music, including his “Slavonic Dances,� was inspired by his native Czech, Moravian and Slavic folks songs. But his incessant drive to explore the roots of other culture’s music led him to New York City where he headed the National Conservatory of Music from 1892 to 1895 in a bid to learn about American music, including African-American and Native American music. He not only influenced American composers but wrote “New World Symphony,� which became one of his best known works, along with “Humoresque� and “Songs My Mother Taught Me.� tws

A Sweet Cake for Your Sweetheart C BY MARGOT VAN HORN

A

dear friend of mine always has the best impromptu parties. Well, they may be sort of impromptu but I know that she cooks for days—starting at 4 in the morning. She always has a variety of dishes that everyone loves and devours. She truly is the best hostess, never resting until everyone is well served. Of course, no one refuses an invitation to her parties. Her Linzer Torte I find is the best. It’s her Christmas gift to her guests and, actually, when I am her guest at one of her parties, I make it my dinner. Of course, the next day, when I get on the scales, I hate myself. Luckily, she makes quite a few of these tortes for her guests so there always seems to be enough to go around. It’s really not that difficult to make and I’m sure that you and your guests will love it as much as we all do and, furthermore, I think that it’s a perfect goody to make for Valentine’s. Bon Appètit!!!! Linzer Torte Serves 8 (but don’t expect any leftovers)

Ingredients: 1 ½ C. sifted flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1 C. sifted sugar 1 C. sweet butter, room temperature –2 cubes Grated rind of 1 lemon 3 egg yolks (keep them separate) 1 C. unblanched almonds (I use the slivered kind); grind them in a grinder and then mix evenly with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. ground cloves. 1 10-oz. jar jam of your choice. If you wish, you can mix in well 1 ½ Tbsp. brandy or Kirsch. Confectioners’ sugar for the final dusting just before serving. Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees after your dough has been refrigerated for an hour or more. In a bowl, sift the flour once more with the salt. In a larger bowl, cream the sugar with the butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. (You can use egg beaters.) Add the grated rind of 1 lemon to this mixture and then add the 3 egg yolks (one yolk at a time), beating well after each addition. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the 1 C. ground almonds, which has already been mixed with the cinnamon and cloves.

You can knead this with your hands. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for an hour or more. In an 8-inch, 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan, the sides of which have been lightly greased and the bottom lightly greased and dusted with flour (or sugar), and the dough forked slightly to make some holes, pat enough of the dough (make sure to save enough to make a lattice for the top) to reach ¼- to ½-inch thickness on the bottom and to also reach about 1 ½ inches up the sides of the form so that it will be higher than your jam. You can also use parchment paper to line your pan. Spread the dough with 12 oz. (more or less) of the jam of your preference. Now is the time to roll with the hands several long thin strips to use as a lattice. Intertwine the strips so that it’ll look pretty when served and place on top of your torte. Bake the torte in your preheated oven for 30-45 minutes till it is golden brown on top and the jam is slightly bubbling. I watch it carefully so that it doesn’t get overdone and too brown because then the crust will be tough. Cool the torte thoroughly before unlatching and removing from the pan; fill the holes on top with more jam. I gently slide a knife on the bottom to release and slide the torte onto a pretty plate and sometimes surround it with rose petals. Finally, right before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar. Extra hint: You can refrigerate this in the pan for several days before serving and then release it. Also, if you wrap very well on its own in Saran wrap and aluminum foil, it freezes nicely. Re my last recipe, Asparagus and Prosciutto Strata, correction and apology, please: 1. Blend the lemon rind with the milk and eggs; and, 2. For the layers, substitute my directed lemon rind with the asparagus that you have prepared. tws Call Margot for personal cooking help or hosting at 721-3551.

hange is an inevitable fact of human life and we all know it. We age, learn, try to figure out how to pay our bills and be happy. We have ups and downs. Experiences we have require adjusting to. Our bodies move from one stage to another and then, eventually, we all leave this world for greener pastures. Change is an inescapable part of life. So why do we resist it so much? In my unprofessional opinion, I think it’s because different is unknown and therefore scary. As children, we are taught our parents’ values and we, like good little sponges, absorb them and then repeat them as we become adults. Most of these teachings are very valuable; be nice, share, eat your broccoli, value your family and friends. Other learned behaviors—addictive patterning, selfdestructiveness, and prejudices—are not so great. But, they are familiar and, consequently, sticking with them makes us feel safe. Even if we become self-aware enough to recognize our unbeneficial belief systems, changing them can be very, very scary, indeed. In yoga practice we learn to hold our poses through the uncomfortable moments. We learn to take deep breaths and allow the changes in our bodies to happen gently. We learn to be grateful to uncomfortable tightness because it shows us where we need to open up. I have found that these principles apply directly off the mat as well. The heartaches that we feel can be looked at as horrible, but they can also be seen as tools to show us the places where we are stuck. When looked at from this angle, the people who we do not enjoy become our most valuable teachers, who prod us on to evolve, even if we really don’t want to. One of my favorite yoga quotes is: “The moment you want to leave the pose is the moment the yoga truly begins” —Manorama. My real-life translation: “The most uncomfortable/painful spot you find yourself in is the spot where the most growth and positive change can occur.” This concept is so simple but very different from the “pain is bad, RUN!” idea that most of us are taught. And it is so very difficult to remember, particularly if you are in the middle of a crisis. When I find myself immersed, my pattern usually goes something like this: Cry, scream, call a friend, vent, cry some more, and then, on a good day, to quote another wonderful teacher of mine, “I put on my big-girl pants and get on with it!” At this point I can usually find the strength to reflect on what I could be learning from that situation and find the gratitude for the experience. I don’t always walk away immediately feeling like a brilliant and evolved human. In fact, many times I feel a bit deflated. But deflated only means that now I get to choose what to fill back up with, which is a very liberating feeling. If I’ve made it to the liberation part, I know I’m unstuck. Unstuck = change. And change is both inevitable, and much easier when you embrace it, learn from it and move forward, wearing your big-girl pants proudly.

Sacred Harp Group Begins STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

Y

ou may have heard them stir the soul as they sang “I’m Going Home� in “Cold Mountain.� Now some local people want to start a Sacred Harp singing group in the Wood River Valley. The group will show the documentary, “Awake My Soul, The Story of the Sacred Harp,� which describes the rich history of the Sacred Harp, at 4 p.m. Saturday at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on the corner of Bullion Street and Second Avenue in Hailey. Jenny Jenson of the Utah Sacred Harp singing group will lead interested participants in actual singing at 4 p.m. Sunday at the church. A potluck dinner will follow at 6 p.m. The Sacred Harp actually has nothing to do with the harp as a musical instrument, said Janet Houts, one of those introducing the music form to the Valley. It’s actually a form of four-part a capella singing that originated in the South in 1844 using hymns from the book, “The Sacred Harp.� It’s also called shape-note singing because it uses shaped notes in the form of triangles, ovals, rectangles and diamonds so that one does not need to know how to read music in order to learn the tunes. No musical experience is required. There is no director and participants are encouraged to take turns leading the songs. Singers sit in a circle or square facing one another. The singing normally occurs not in church services but in special sing-a-longs. Often, they’re coupled with a potluck meal in the middle of the day called “dinner on the grounds.�

Chef Steven Johnson and Shannon Bourn kept busy churning out teriyaki chicken wings, spring rolls and other hors d’oeuvres.

Bellevue quilter Janet Houts, on the right of the Accord Sisters, is now starting a Sacred Harp singing group that’s open to anyone—even if you’ve just sung in the shower up until now.

Sacred Harp singing has experienced a resurgence in popularity in modern times with singing communities in most U.S. cities, including Chicago, and many rural areas. It also has spread to England, Australia and even Poland. “The hymns have a joyful and boisterous quality because they are sung straight from the heart in an ‘open-throat’ manner,� said Houts.

The Senior Connection Celebrates Reopening STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

trip to the walk-in freezer has become less of an adventure for Steven Johnson. With the remodeling of the Senior Connection, his freezer has moved indoors so he no longer needs to brave wind and snow and flies to fetch a roast or box of chicken breasts. “The old kitchen was so old and broken down—I love my new kitchen,� said the chef for the Senior Connection. “And the best part is this window,� he added, looking out a window that offered a view of kids playing hockey on the skate rink in the Hailey rodeo grounds and a pink sunset streaking between the mountains towering over Croy Canyon. “I thought I would get a prison window that I’d have to stand on a ladder to look out. But this window makes my day.� Johnson kept ovens in his kitchen going full blast Friday evening as he served up spring rolls, teriyaki chicken drumsticks, flautas and other hors d’oeuvres to a few hundred people who stopped by to check out the newly remodeled facility. Director Kim Coonis showed off an art room for the Connection Club, which offers care for between 10 and 20 Alzheimer’s patients four days a week so family members can catch their breath. Also on the tour: a TV room that doubles as a small meeting room; an exercise room filled with one- and five-pound weights, mats and chairs for chair exercise; a pool room; and an expanded dining room with a remodeled bar that makes

it easier for serve the 40 to 65 seniors who eat lunch there five days a week. “The remodel cost $1.8—under the $2.3 million we initially thought it would cost,� she said. “It basically doubles the amount of usable space,� she added. The Senior Connection touches the lives of 150 to 200 people a day, including 70 to 80 people who receive Meals on Wheels five days a week. “It’s such an improvement,� said Hailey resident Betty Grant, as she treated two grandchildren and their friend to ice cream sundaes in the old-fashioned Scoops ice cream parlor. “The walk-in freezer alone is worth it—it’s all nice, all new.� But, some of the seniors lamented, they will miss getting to watch Johnson cook. “They used to be able to sit and watch me throw wine on something and have the flames go up—the ladies especially loved that,� said Johnson, who has worked at the Senior Connection for three years after having served as a private chef and a chef for Sun Valley Resort and other restaurants. “But I think we’ll be just fine,� he said. “The kitchen really is the heart and soul of this place. And I love my job. It’s like having 50 sets of grandparents. And they’re all so genuinely grateful for every meal I make.�

SEE FOR YOURSELF The Senior Connection is located at 721 S. 3rd Ave. just west of the National Guard Armory in Hailey. It’s open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays. Information: 788-3468. tws

La Boheme Takes Stage Tonight BY KAREN BOSSICK

L

oad up on the hankies. “La Boheme� isn’t exactly a barrel of laughs. But the story of a sickly seamstress named Mimi who falls in love with an impoverished poet named Rodolfo is one of the best loved of all operas. And you can see it tonight as a Tony Award-winning soprano and a matinee-idol type bring it to life at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater in Hailey. The Utah Lyric Opera presented in conjunction with Sun Valley Opera starts at 7 p.m. “It was one of the world’s first reality shows, as audiences saw real people of everyday life with their joys and struggles, as opposed to gods, kings and mythology,� said Sun Valley Opera co-founder Frank Meyer. “ ‘Rent,’ which was on Broadway for 12 years, was based on ‘La Boheme.’ And Della Reese recorded a hit song in the 1950s—‘Don’t You Know?’—that

was from ‘La Boheme.’ � The storyline is a moving one in and of itself. Giacomo Puccini’s beautiful, sometimes haunting, melodies don’t just tug at the heartstrings, they pull them way out of shape. Tonight’s performance features a cast of seven singers, fully staged. Mimi will be played by Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller, who won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Mimi in Baz Luhrmann’s Broadway version of “La Boheme.� Tenor Isaac Hurtado will play her beau, Rodolfo. The play, under the direction of Emmy-nominated screenwriter Elizabeth Hansen, will also feature baritone Christopher Holmes and soprano Jennie Litster. Pianist Lawrence F. Gee, assistant conductor at the New York City Opera under Beverly Sills, will accompany the performance. Seegmiller said the opera is a cathartic experience. “Like all of us, Rodolfo and Mimi go through the ups and

downs of a passionate, committed relationship. Mimi’s imminent death by tuberculosis, however, brings into painful but exquisite focus the beauty of love between a man and a woman,� she said. “The tragedy of Rodolfo and Mimi allows the audience the cathartic experience of grieving and celebrating loves past and present. Most of all, their universally-applicable story teaches us the eternal truth that the most important thing we can learn in this life is to love and be loved in return.� tws

he weather cooperated, casting a gray London-like pall over Elkhorn Springs Restaurant. Inside, Laura Apshaga trotted out cucumber radish English tea sandwiches, London fog split pea soup, Lava Lake Lamb shepherd’s pie and Earl Grey truffle bars. Dick Brightman offered a sampling of things to come as he sang “Get Me to the Church on Time,� while Sara Gorby, Cherie Kessler and Melodie Taylor Mauldin tickled listeners’ palettes with “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?� It may be eight months until “My Fair Lady� takes the stage, but 98 ladies were treated as fair ladies Thursday afternoon as St. Thomas Playhouse held its sixth annual Cabaret Girlfriends Luncheon to raise funds for its community theater program and youth performing arts camps. “The work that goes on is significant,� said R.L. Rowsey, who will direct next October’s production of “My Fair Lady.� “It helps change lives. It helps people who are stuck. It helps them get going again.� The luncheon featured a variety of raffle packages in keeping with the “My Fair Lady� theme, including a getaway Ascot race package that included tickets to Les Bois racetrack in Boise. Julie McKenna bid $600 for a cameo role as one of the aristocrats in “My Fair Lady’s� Ascot race.

R.L. Rowsey put himself and his Few Good Men a cappella group on the auction block—going, going twice for $2,400—for a private concert, coupled with voice lessons from Rowsey, a gift certificate to Main St. Market and a case of wines from S&C Importers. Another $600 went toward a guided bicycling, skiing and mountain hike/picnic package offered by The Elephant’s Perch and Jane Reynolds, who raced throughout the world with the U.S. Development Cycling Team. Toni Breck described how she barely even knew how to get on a bike when Reynolds offered a few pointers as Breck and her husband prepared to tour Spain by bike. “Only in Sun Valley would you have someone come up to you and say, ‘Oh, I can help. I used to be a pro cyclist,’ � she recounted. “I was able to ride my bike in Spain and not give up, what with Jane’s coaching in my head.� Melody Mauldin, who played the lead role of Anna in last fall’s “King and I� while her son Luke and Sam Fauth took turns playing her son, lamented how friends across the nation have found themselves scrambling for work as opera and theater companies have gone dark. “I have incredible memories of my son in that play,� she said, begging the audience not to let St. Thomas Playhouse close its doors. “There is something special in this Playhouse.� Rowsey told the women that they are the anchor of the St. Thomas Playhouse. “With ‘The Music Man,’ we explored the idea of community. Last year in ‘The King and I’ we explored the idea of acceptance and tolerance for people who don’t look like ourselves,� he said. “This year we will talk about transformation—the possibility we can become something other than what we are. There are people in our community today who need transformation, who need a shift. And ‘My Fair Lady’ will open up an avenue to look

at that.� Teen-ager Olivia Ott said she hopes she can land a role in the play: “I saw it when I was 7. I loved it. I loved the music. I loved the story.� Ketchum resident Connie Hoffman echoed her sentiments. “When I was a little kid, my mom got the album for ‘My Fair Lady’ and we played it over and over,� she said. “The idea of taking a rough girl and turning her into a lady, the story of rags to riches, was very appealing to a little country girl from Jerome.�

2013 SEASON

St. Thomas Playhouse will kick off its 2013 season with its Children’s Theater Tour of “Stone Soup� during late February and March. The play, which features original songs by Andrew Alburger, revolves around a peddler who teaches hoarding townspeople gripped in a period of drought and famine that they can make much out of what appears to be nothing with a little teamwork. Other performances: June 19-22—The Summer Theater Project for youth will present “West Side Story,� a timeless Romeo and Juliet-type story about two teenagers caught in a feud between rival gangs.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, In the past four years, I've had two cars and six accidents. The first car, a light brown sedan, was hit in the passenger and driver's side twice. After the fourth accident I bought a white Volkswagen that was rear-ended the first week I owned it. Then last week I was in a car accident that practically totaled the front passenger side. My sister tries to tell me it's my driving, but I'm convinced that it's the lousy car colors that make the difference. Maybe I need something brighter so people can see me coming. My sister drives a red sports car and has never been in an accident yet. She's not a great driver. So now I'm shopping the classified ads for yet another car. Can you tell me the best color to get? Then maybe I can prove to my sister that car color does make a difference.

dents, your insurance agent must be on speed dial. Carry: You may need more than a bright colored car. Maybe you need some flashing lights to go with it. Cash: Regardless of your next

car color, try taking a defensive driving course. With so many accidents, you could certainly use the discount on your car insurance. Carry: As for the color, it might seem that a brighter car would be easier to see on the road. Dark colored cars tend to blend into the background and white may be hard to see on snowy days. Cash: However despite numerous studies, there is no solid conclusion on how car color affects accidents. Since there are so many variables such as weather conditions, surrounding landscape and even experience of the driver, it's difficult to relate color to accidents. Carry: It seems you'll have to

prove your sister wrong in other ways. If you think that color may affect your driving, then by all means, choose a color that makes you feel safer. Anything that may give you more confidence behind the wheel could help you in the future. Cash: Also, if you're worried about people seeing your car, remember to drive with your headlights on. Even during daylight hours, turning on your lights can help other cars notice you on the road. However, there’s nothing that can substitute for driving defensively to avoid an accident. Carry: And who knows, with a little luck you won't have to talk to your insurance agent anytime soon.

In 1939, the National Conference on School Transportation was first formed to decide on standards for transporting children. It was there the group decided on the color for buses that is now known as "National Glossy School Bus Yellow". The color formula is actually on file with the National Bureau of Standards. Despite the organization's efforts to standardize school buses, it wasn't nationally completed until 1974 when Minnesota finally adopted the color, switching from Minnesota Golden Orange.

Favorite Color

Sometimes the hardest decision about buying a car isn't the make or model, but the color. According to the Dupont Color Popularity Report, the top selling car color every year is typically silver, accounting for 19% of all cars sold in North America. It is followed closely by white, gray and black. Together these four colors account for over 60% of the car market. Yellow/gold rounds out the bottom of the list with only 3% of new car sales. •

Reader Humor Being Defensive

I was so nervous when my daughter turned 16. Not only was she starting to date, but now she was getting her driver's license. Before I would allow her to drive on her own, I insisted she take a defensive driving course. I told her she had to learn some techniques from a professional. Like any teenager, she rolled her eyes and complained the whole way to the course. As we both sat in the classroom waiting for the instructor, I again tried to explain, "This guy is going to show us how to be better drivers." My comment fell on deaf ears when the instructor entered, "Sorry I'm late, but believe it or not, I was just in a car accident!" (Thanks to Joseph B.)

Wedding & Event

Planner February 13, 2013

BY THE WEEKLY SUN

lanning to say “I do” sometime soon? Or coordinating the “talk about” party of the year? If the Sun Valley area is your perfect backdrop, here are some inside tips on getting you from initial concept to final toast with confidence and kudos. Location: If you’ve chosen the Wood River Valley as your dot on the map, that says that you love the outdoors, the mountains and the laid-back lifestyle. Within this unique framework, you might be surprised to learn that there are so many simple and sophisticated options. Aside from the quintessential Sun Valley Resort, there exists a world of choice here, with many locations that vow to deliver rave reviews, no matter what the occasion. We’ve got a number of beautiful mountain gems with stunning panoramas and pretty wildflowers. We’ve got gorgeous, lodge-like club facilities and casual ranch-style accommodations. We’ve got breathtaking mountain views and lush gardens with dramatic water features. Timing: We also have seasons here. All of them. Some are shorter than others, but all are beautiful in different ways and all lend themselves to individual preferences. While summer is undoubtedly the most popular season for both weddings and events in the Wood River Valley, elegant plans can be designed around just about any of our fabulous winter sports. And, if you’re into extremes, we’ve got that, too. With outfitters and suppliers that provide for every need on the mountain, on the river, in the backcountry, or nestled into one of the handsome resort area lodges, the sky is virtually the limit. Nibbles: Whether you’re envisioning a formal dinner for hundreds, or a small, casual affair for a dozen of your closest friends, the quality de cuisine here is stellar. Caterers and restaurants here are used to handling extraordinary details while attending to elite international travelers and high-end businesses. Whatever you can dream up, they can provide. Many are creative in their own right as well, having published cookbooks or style guides, and can suggest their very best foodto-event pairings. If you’re organically inclined, the Valley has choices that will delight there as well, with a broad selection of farmers and ranchers investing in low-profile chemistry, complemented by intuitive and creative chefs. Services: Wood River Valley event planners have expertise in every facet of throwing a party, especially décor, music and activities. From elegant tents and jaw-dropping floral arrangements, to never-forget-it celebrations on horseback or skis. Don’t forget a photographers to capture those special moments. Choices abound in the Wood River Valley, so find the style that fits you and (we recommend) book early! Gilding the Lily: Clothes may make the man, but diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and jewelers here have just the right rings and things to create a lifetime of Sun Valley memories. Custom settings and unique lines, as well as traditional settings, are beautiful ways to ensure lasting reminders of your special event. Details: If you’re traveling to the Sun Valley area from another state, why bring it with you? It’s all here waiting, from paper goods and invites to tuxedoes and makeup, hair stylists and spas to bankers and financial advisors, your needs can be met and exceeded by businesses and services used to working with sophisticated clientele. From the initial planning stages, make your life simpler by placing event details in the hands of locally based professionals that have the expertise, knowledge, products and connections to create the perfect event for your exquisite day in the tws sun.
