Judd for NAMI BY KAREN BOSSICK

s an actress, Ashley Judd had no problem hiding her depression from her fans. But even the best acting job in the world couldn’t hide the telltale signs from the experts. So when Judd visited her sister as Wynonna was being treated for an eating disorder, she soon found herself spending 47 days in the same residential clinic. The 43-year-old actress will share stories about her journey to wellness on Monday when she speaks on behalf of the Wood River Valley Chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Judd will speak at 7 p.m. Monday at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, 206 Sun Valley Road. Tickets are $25, available by calling 208-720-9145 or 208-7209631. The wife of racecar driver Dario Franchitti will also meet and greet people personally at a luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the home of Susan and Jerry Flynt, 102 Sutton Place in Gimlet. Tickets are $500. “She has such a story about how she’s risen above her personal calamities to get herself well. And she’s not a Hollywood diva. She’s wonderfully kind,” said Anne Mulholland, a NAMI board member whose sister—a makeup artist in New York—is friends with Judd. Judd grew up the daughter and sister of the famed country music group The Judds. She earned a Master in Public Administration degree from Harvard and went on to star in such films as “Where the Heart Is,” “High Crimes,” “Double Jeopardy,” “Ruby in Paradise,” and the upcoming TV drama “Missing” starting in March on ABC. But her childhood was a dysfunctional and somewhat lonely one as she was shuttled between her mother, father and grandparents and 13 different schools. Several years ago, Judd decided she wanted to make her life an act of worship. She began traveling with the YouthAIDS prevention program to Kenya, Rwanda, Cambodia and other Third World countries. And she began speaking to the United Nations and other organizations about women’s and children’s issues. “I didn’t realize it would change my own life,” said Judd, who has recounted her story in the book, “All That Is Bitter and Sweet.” “I got out of myself and into a relationship with other human beings. I got to live my spiritual values.” Wendy Norbom, who heads up the Wood River Valley’s NAMI chapter, praised Judd’s ability to go beyond achieving wellness to a life of advocacy. “She goes places in the world no one else goes to and she learns how lives there have been so impacted by war and violence. She’s a caretaker of stories and an amazing advocate for women’s and children’s issues,” she said. Proceeds from Judd’s visit will help NAMI start classes for parents of children with mental illness. It will also be used toward a $25,000 matching grant from the Idaho Community Foundation. “One in four families will be touched by mental illness this year,” Norbom said. “So it’s important to do what we can. With treatment, most people recover.” tws

Young Leaders Go Global BY KAREN BOSSICK

even Wood River Valley high school juniors have embarked on a journey to become compassionate young leaders. The journey will lead them to Ladakh, India, which lies in a picturesque area of northern India between the Kunlun mountains and the Himalayas, if all goes according to plan. There from June 28 through July 20, they hope to work with abused, orphan and refugee high school students in the town of Leh, setting up a multi-media and computer lab where the students can learn language skills. They also hope to teach the Indian students to edit and post short activist films. In addition, they hope to set up a community library and pair with the students on health and sanitation issues. And, they hope to share poetry and skits to give their Indian counterparts a little taste of American culture. “It’s an amazing opportunity to help our community and to help the world,” said Keah Jones, a junior at The Sage School. “I’ve always wanted to travel, but India always seemed out of reach. And it’s awesome we’re meeting up with students our own age because we can see what we take for granted in our Valley versus what they treasure.” Jones will be joined by Lex Shapiro, Brenden Finnerty, Colby Werley, Dani Theobald, Lena Roebuck, and Will Ashfield. The Compassionate Young Leaders Program started at the University of Utah Hospital where Hailey yoga teacher Ryan Redman was visiting his mother, who was being treated for a broken femur. While there, he read a newspaper article about a Salt Lake City college student who had just won Utah’s Young Humanitarian Award. He invited Kajsa Vlasic to the 2011 Sun Valley Wellness Festival where she shared how she had been turned on to a life of compassionate service during a humanitarian trip for high school and college students to Kenya. Since, she has mentored a family from the Congo, coached underprivileged girls through Girls on the Run, worked as an Englishas-a-Second-Language tutor for refugees and spent a summer helping Costa Ricans build a hydroponic greenhouse and learn about environmental health issues. Inspired by her story, Redman incorporated The Compassionate Young Leaders Program under the umbrella of The Flourish Foundation, which he, Eryn Michaud and Katie Corkery founded to promote compassion and positive change As he cast around for a place to take the kids, he landed on India.

On a rickshaw at a busy market in Varanasi.

“I had done work at Mother Teresa’s as a young man and it was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had,” he said. Redman recounted a day he spent making matchsticks with the destitute and dying, who stacked them and infused them in flammable substances. “These people had missing limbs. They were on the last legs of life. But they all shared an incredible lightness,” he recalled. “It was the most humbling thing yet it provided such a big connection—all of us enjoying our humanity, our day together. It was profound for me to see you don’t need much to be happy and connected. Sometimes all it takes is something as

simple as being in the presence of another person.” Upon his return, Redman went to Blaine Manor where, he said, the residents are similarly removed from the mainstream and looking for companionship. “They told me about their family members here and it ended up bringing me into a bigger web. And it made me wonder if I could do the same thing with our high school students,” he said. Redman has challenged his students to complete a hundred hours of community service by June.

Fools Explore Their Savage Side BY KAREN BOSSICK

o you get secret satisfaction from watching adults behave badly? If so, you’ll love “God of Carnage,” which opens tonight at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. This award-winning play being produced by Company of Fools offers audiences a front seat to 90 minutes of mayhem—a chance to eavesdrop on a rumble in a living room. The play revolves around two sets of parents who meet to settle things when their children get in a tiff on the playground. One mother comes with the idea that the other parents will agree it’s their son’s fault, they’ll sign the papers and it’ll be a done deal. The other mother wants everything to be okay and just go away. One of the fathers comes with the attitude that he’ll try to be nice, “but why do we have to do this?” The other father is so busy he wonders why the two couples have to meet in the first place. The best of intentions unravel as each becomes increasingly childish and, dare we say, even savage?! It’s a spectator sport through and through as they submit to what one of the parents calls “the god of carnage.” “Nothing is more delicious than to put two couples in a room like caged boxers. This play is hysterical and smart. And it’s so much fun for audiences to watch and for actors to play. It’s absolutely fun to be able to lose your stuff and give in to rant and rave,” said Denise Simone, who plays one of the mothers. Parisian playwright Yasmina Reza’s play is currently among the top three most produced plays in America, Simone said. The play won a 2009 Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League awards for Best Play and the 2008 Olivier Award in London for best new comedy. Roman Polanski just filmed the movie version starring Jodie

Foster and Kate Winslet. The Company of Fools’ version stars Company of Fools artists John Glenn and Denise Simone as one set of parents. The husband-wife team of Keith Moore and Patsy Wygle, also professional actors more commonly associated with Laughing Stock Theatre Company, the nexStage Theatre and Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival, will play the other set of parents. Gary Hopper, recently retired assistant chair of the acting program at Virginia Commonwealth University, is directing the play. “Yasmina is a great writer and the subject matter is so danged funny and honest. She uses humor but keeps it authentic, organic. I find out the more truthful you keep it, the funnier it is,” he said. Joe Lavigne has created an imaginative set with the help of welder Bob Wiederrick and upholsterer Julie Fox-Jones. He’s based his “urban playground” living room furniture on bike racks and playground fountains to reflect the genesis of the story in the playground. The minimalist set allows the audience to focus on the subject matter, said Hopper, whose wife Elizabeth has produced the costumes for many of the Fools’ plays. Though they’re not married, Simone said she and Glenn will have no trouble keeping up with the couple who is actually married. “John and I have been married to each other through the theater for 26 years. We’ve gone through so many chapters we’re into volumes now,” she said. In the end, the play is a lesson to all of us, one that asks us to look at what can happen to any one of us if we’re not careful, said Glenn. ”It’s a fascinating piece of work in that all four of us are getting to explore that savage part of ourselves,” he said. “All four absolutely find the

place they’re unified and where they’re unified is in their savage natures. All of humanity passes through this savage nature and it’s up to each of us to decide not to go to this savage place.” Said Simone: “For me you can’t have redemption until your

knees get really bloody. Every one of us has been in a situation where we think we’re going to take the high road and so we put on our best game face forward. This offers a look at our basic humanity without any of the tws masks we wear.”

nn Scales plopped down a hundred bucks last Wednesday to enter her 6year-old granddaughter Ripley Scales in the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harem. Several women, including Mary Malkmus, Toni Breck, Delora Deal, Pilar, Sally Freeman and Becky Smith, followed suit, buying cameo roles for themselves in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The King and Iâ&#x20AC;? in St. Thomas Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of the musical next October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot believe how much fun it is going to be to dress up like part of the King of Siamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court,â&#x20AC;? Playhouse Director Cherie Kessler promised them. A hundred womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the largest ever for the annual Girlfriends Luncheon fundraiserâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; crowded into Elkhorn Springs restaurant. There they enjoyed the exotic flavors of green papaya strips mingling with other exotic flavors like curry, coconut, jalapeĂąo and cilantro as Laura Apshaga served up green curry with chicken and an almond-crusted five spice chocolate truffle bar. Colorful Oriental lanterns, fans and umbrellas hung from ceiling and walls as Cherice Tatterson, Hailey Zanes, Luke Mauldin, Isaac Brannon and others sang selections from past productions, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lida Roseâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alone In The Universe.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They could auction off one of these fans and say it was Madonnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headpiece at the Super Bowl,â&#x20AC;? joked Nancy Liston.

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the day after Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Was yesterday as happy as you wanted to be? If so, you are among the fortunate. If not, remember that it is all too common to feel a letdown after any holiday that is widely billed as a very special day. Unfortunately, life rarely follows the patterns of movies and novels. Some of us get very attached to the giving or not giving on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Maybe your special someone did not give you what you wanted on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Maybe you do not even have a significant other. Either way, what do you do with your feelings of disappointment or loneliness and how to you plan to avoid these feelings in the future? If this day is an important to you, it is always a good idea to tell this to your partner. Men especially find this day stressful. They sometimes do not know what to do, and they worry that it will not be enough. In a good relationship, you can talk about your expectations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to choose a quiet dinner at home instead of going out to a crowded and expensive restaurant. Perhaps you would rather go to a concert than have a costly bouquet of red roses. Remember that Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is just a day. What happens on a day-to-day basis is far more important than what happens on any given day. Remember, too, that you can always give to yourself at anytime. Take time out; give thanks for the things that are important in lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;your health, your friends, your kids, your grandchildren, etc. Do something for someone else without any attachment to the expectation of receiving anything back. That can bring great joy. People too often believe that their happiness is beyond their control and is a matter of circumstances. They may believe that happiness is dependent on â&#x20AC;&#x153;form,â&#x20AC;? or whether their lives conform to the expectations of others. The joy of being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person or eventâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;through anything that happens. Â That joy cannot come to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ever. Â Joy and happiness emanate from the formless dimension within you and from consciousness itself. tws Connie Love, a certified life coach, is available at (208) 720-2216 or connie@lifecoachconnielove.com.

Idaho Yogurt Gets Olympic Nod, Too BY KAREN BOSSICK

n the near future, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised to notice U.S. Olympic cross-country skiing heroes Billy Demong and Johnny Spillane chowing down on Chobani yogurt in Sun Valley. The U.S. Olympic Committee has picked up some south-central Idaho flavor as of late. Last week, the USOC gave the initial nod for Sun Valley to become the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first official Nordic Olympic and Paralympic training site. On Monday, it announced Chobaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsorship as the official packaged yogurt provider of the USOC and Team USA. Later this year, Chobani will open its Greek yogurt production plant in southeast Twin Falls. The two-year agreement between Chobani and the USOC means Chobani products will carry the Team USA and Olympic rings logos, and the yogurt will be provided to athletes at official U.S. Olympic training centers, currently in Colorado Springs, Chula Vista, Calif., and Lake Placid, tws N.Y.

On the Cusp of Olympic Designation STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

he familiar Olympic rings are one step away from being paired with Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark sun. The U.S. Olympic Committee has given the green light to Sun Valley completing the process towards becoming the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Nordic Olympic/Paralympic training site. And that could pave the way for Sun Valley to be designated a training site for additional sports, such as alpine skiing, snowboarding, freestyle skiing and mountain biking, said Harry Griffith, director of the Sustain Blaine economic development group. The next step involves completing a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, the national governing body of Nordic skiing, and finalizing a contract with the U.S. Olympic Association, said Don Wiseman, executive director of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Adaptive ski instructor Marc Mast, whose Wood River Ability Program works with Paralympians, began spearheading the effort a couple years ago. Dick Fosbury, a Ketchum engineer who also serves as president of the World Olympians Association, said the designation recognizes the high standards of a community that boasts more than 45 Olympians in a county of 20,000 residents and has gotten behind Nordic activities like the annual Boulder Mountain Tour for nearly 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no bigger sports brand in the world than those five Olympic rings. And to be related to them, to partner with them, just makes the Sun Valley brand that much stronger,â&#x20AC;? said Fosbury, who

turned the track program upside down with his patented Fosbury Flop in the high jump at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This tells athletes this is a good place to come and train.â&#x20AC;? Fairfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morgan Arritola, who competed at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, said she was jazzed about the designation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been all over the world and I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found any place better,â&#x20AC;? said Arritola, who narrowly missed winning first among women in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-mile Boulder Mountain Tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got great trails and a wonderful, supportive community. And we had snow this year when no one else did. If people had known about us, the world would have been beating down our doors.â&#x20AC;? Alicia McConnell , the USOCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of athlete services and programs, went on a whirlwind tour of Nordic facilities in the Valley last week, eyeballing the trails around Galena Lodge, the Sun Valley Nordic Center and the Harriman Trail, which stretches 18 miles from Galena Lodge to the Sawtooth National Recreation Area Headquarters. She watched dozens of Olympic and youth racers take part in highenergy sprint races during the Sun Valley Nordic Festival. And she met with Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Nordic racers and coaches. WRAP Director Mast said the designation will give Sun Valley more exposure, attracting both athletes and tourists to a town that dubbed itself NordicTownUSA a few years ago to draw attention to its world-class Nordic trails and facilities. And it will enable Sun Valley to go after big sponsorships from corporate entities who are involved with the Olympics. Bellevue resident Anne Jef-

frey understands the allure. She and her husband went skiing at Canmore, Alberta, a few years ago because the Nordic races were held there during the Calgary Olympics. Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head Nordic Coach Rick Kapala says the designation provides Sun Valley the opportunity to run high-level training seminars that will bring in the best minds in nutrition and exercise physiology to train coaches to be better coaches and athletes to be better athletes. Griffith said Boise State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise physiologists have already expressed interest in working with Sun Valley because of the opportunity to work with coaches and programs at a higher level. McConnell, a former lacrosse competitor, said the U.S. Olympic Committee has clear rules about how the Olympic trademark can

be used. It could, for instance, be placed at Ketchum Town Plaza, which already bears the names of many of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympians. But placing it next to a Pepsi trademark is a no-no. McConnell lauded the â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-performanceâ&#x20AC;? chocolate chip pumpkin muffins at Galena Lodge, the beautiful plane ride into Hailey in which she felt as if she was flying right into the mountains, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazingâ&#x20AC;? amount of community support here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place is beautiful in every way and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so welcoming,â&#x20AC;? she said. But she cautioned that Sun Valley has some work to do, such as improving affordable accommodations and providing part-time jobs and educational opportunities for athletes who train here. And, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could also use some Sun Valley cowbellsâ&#x20AC;? to cheer athletes on. tws

n order to escape the long winter months, some animals migrate to warmer climates, some sleep through it, and others simply “stick it out.” Small mammals like mice, voles and shrews cannot hibernate because with high metabolisms (a shrew’s resting heart rate is 760 beats per minute!), they would burn too many calories and lose too much heat to survive the winter. Therefore, in order to stay active, these animals seek refuge under the snow, in the subnivean zone. The subnivean zone forms when heat from the earth’s surface melts a layer of snow, leaving a small gap between the ground and additional snow cover. Once snow cover reaches six inches, this zone maintains a temperature close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of outside temperatures. Because subnivean residents are protected from extreme temperature changes, they are able to more effectively conserve heat. To conserve heat further, some animals hollow out sleeping areas in the snow and line them with plants, while others congregate together to form “nesting” groups. These nests often reach 50 degrees F. In the subnivean zone, mammals dig tunnels through the snow, eating a smorgasbord of roots, mosses, fungi, seeds, and more. These tunnels provide some protection from predators; however, animals like foxes and owls can hear prey through the snow, and then attack from above, collapsing these tunnels and trapping their prey. Ermine, on the other hand, with their long, low-slung bodies, enter subnivean tunnels and hunt tws below the snowpack. Have a question or want to write your own ERCbeat?

VAMPS and Divas Battle at Leifâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Race BY KAREN BOSSICK

eifâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Race is back. And this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, in honor of the late Leif Odmark, will feature a subplotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a battle between Bald Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Divas and cross-countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VAMPS. The Divas have challenged the VAMPS for bragging rights, and organizer John Campbell has made a special trophy with a picture of Leif for the Divas and VAMPS to compete for. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a VAMP or a Diva to compete in the race that starts on Baldy and finishes at the Sun Valley Nordic Center this Saturday, Feb. 18. The GS race, sponsored by the Sun Valley Ski Club, starts at 10 a.m. on Cozy. Racers can ski their race on alpine skis, telemark skis or snowboards and

then keep making runs on the Greyhawk side of Baldy until 1:30 p.m., when the action transfers to the Nordic Center. Awards for all age groups, along with food and drinks, will follow the 5k race at the Nordic Center. Cost is $25 for those who register by Feb. 17 and $30 the day of the race. Entry fee is $20 for those younger than 19. Sign up at the Warm Springs Race Desk or the Nordic Center.

ALPINE SKIING Oh, Canada!

BY BALI SZABO

ast weekend, the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events were held at Sochi, Russia, site of the next Winter Olympics in 2014. Following his fifth-place finish at Chamonix, former bricklayer Benjamin Thomsen of Canada finished second, .27 second behind birthday boy, Swiss Beat Fuez, for his first podium finish. A dark horse at best, he was going to be shipped to a minor event in Aspen, but his Chamonix performance got him another shot with the big boys. The residents of his hometown of Invermere, British Columbia, raised $45,000 to finance his training and travel expenses. He gained speed where most lost it, on the bottom half of the course. For this podium finish, he gets to wear the belt of the Canadian Cowboys. Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adrien Theaux was third. Bode Miller, fastest on the top part of the Rosa Khutor course, faltered in the faster bottom half and missed the podium by .02 second. Last week he missed a win by .01 second. Sunday, the super-combined was held at the resort of Krasnaya Polyana (Sochi). Ivica Costelic won the event, but it proved to be a phyrric victory. He may have torn his meniscus (cartilage) in his knee, and was flown to Switzerland for a second MRI and possible surgery. He skied the entire slalom run with

the problem, and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk afterwards. His closest competitor, Beat Fuez, was second. Bode Miller did not finish. I feel bad for the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, heading here for next weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events. Ivicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Andre blamed the conditions for the injury. The women were in Soldeauâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grand Valira, Andorraâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a country Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to visit. Aided by luck and the weather, Marlies Schild won the sixth of her seven slaloms this season. It was her 35th win overall. After her first run, Finn Tanja Poutiainen was in first and Marlies was fifth. But the gods would not have it. In the afternoon run, a big gust of wind created a whiteout and blew Tanja off the course. (In the Iliad and the Odyssey, the gods always played favorites with the mortals.) Frida Hansdotter was second, and Austriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kathrin Zettel was third. Neither Lindsay Vonn nor Reisch completed the first run. In Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-scheduled giant slalom, Tessa Worley won her second straight race. With vilolnt wind gusts still sweeping the course, the run was shortened by 11 gates. Tina Maze of Slovenia was second, .16 second off the pace, and Vonnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Riesch was third. Vonn had a disappointing weekend and looks forward to following the men to Sochi, where the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course is being injected with ice, to make it tougher. Be careful what tws you wish for.

ozens of Valley residents donned snowshoes Saturday evening in a symbolic gesture to stamp out breast cancer. And many, like Charlie Kucher, lamented the lack of snow that kept Expedition Inspiration organizers from laying out the more challenging course up into the hills lining the ski trails at The Valley Club. But the challenge involved with finding a cure for breast cancer hasn’t diminished, a University of Washington Medical Center doctor told more than a hundred people who gathered for the benefit dinner and auction that followed the Sixth Annual Twilight Snowshoe Hike. Dr. Kimberly Allison described how she had been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at 33, just months after she had had her second child and been named director of breast cancer pathology at the medical center in Seattle. About one in eight American women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetimes. “I thought for sure it would be benign,” said Allison, who has described her journey from physician to patient in her memoir, “Red Sunshine.” Instead, she said, she was told she had a 40 percent chance of survival over five years. Allison, who underwent radiation and a mastectomy, touted the help of survivors, who demystified the journey for her. And she lauded new drugs that weren’t available five years before. “The question should be not how to find a cure but, rather, cures for breast cancer,” she said. “We’re on the cusp of personalized medicine. Half of the cancers have mutations that are unique to a particular individual so we’re about to uncover a whole new realm.” Expedition Inspiration helps fund such cuttingedge research, bringing “the rock stars of the field” to Sun Valley to brainstorm ideas, Allison said. “It’s an exciting time to be in breast cancer research. It’s also a frustrating time because funding is down,” she added. Those at the dinner responded by lifting their paddles to fund Young Investigator Awards. They also happily snapped up such auction items as a trip to Africa and an array of donated cakes, including Susan Tucker’s Kirsch White Chocolate Mousse-Filled Bombe and a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cheesecake donated by Shelley’s Deli, to help fund the annual Laura Evans Memorial

Catherine Mayer, Danny Beritich and Heidi Mickelson sipped champagne as they strolled—or, rather, waddled— on snowshoes during Expedition Inspiration’s Sixth Annual

Breast Cancer Symposium. The latter brings together researchers to brainstorm ideas. In all the evening raised about $50,000, said Krista Detwiler. Auctioneer Larry Flynn said he had the option of presiding over other high-paying events in Los Angeles and Seattle that same night. But he had chosen Expedition Inspiration because its cause and its founder—the late Laura Evans—was dear to his heart. “She encouraged me to step out and do this in the first place,” he said. “She encouraged me to tws reach for the stars.”

open forum on March 8

Expedition Inspiration’s 16th annual Laura Evans Memorial Breast Cancer Symposium will bring the top researchers in breast cancer research to Sun Valley from March 7 through 11 to share unpublished information and brainstorm ideas. This year’s symposium is entitled “The Metastatic Process and Novel Opportunities for Breast Cancer Therapy.” The researchers will share their work with the public in an Open Forum on March 8.

Sun Valley Opera Artists Show off During Rehearsal STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

ight hours remained until the concert. But Michelle Johnson and her fiancĂŠ Brian Major planted their feet firmly on the stage of the Sun Valley Opera House and practiced their scales, their la la laâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trilling into the rafters. Mary Jo Helmeke plied the two with olive oil and Gatorade to lubricate their vocal cords in the high-altitude dryness. And when concert pianist Sean Rogers showed up, Johnson shifted from the laâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to George Gershwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summertimeâ&#x20AC;? from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Porgy and Bessâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the song with which she would open the Sun Valley Opera concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very unusual,â&#x20AC;? observed Sun Valley Opera President Frank Meyer, as he watched the rehearsal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Summertimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is one of the most performed songs. But usually singers conclude their show with it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen anyone open with it before.â&#x20AC;? The song seemed the perfect choice, however, to start the concert off on a powerful note. It also served notice that the concert would be filled with plenty of Broadway classics to entertain even those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t big opera fans. Major was framed by a ladder that sat on stage, as he showed his stuff next with â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Got Plenty oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nuttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bess You Is My Woman Now.â&#x20AC;? Both he and his fiancĂŠe smiled and gestured, sweeping their gaze across an audience that had yet to materialize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked that. I felt it. I did,â&#x20AC;?

Opera singers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typically sing with their full voice during rehearsals, Meyer said. But try telling that to the armrests, which reverberated with the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing as they sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Impossible Dreamâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Witness.â&#x20AC;? As each performed, the other ran to the middle of the auditorium to assess the sound and snap a picture with their pocket cameras. Whoops. The two abruptly broke out of a rousing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wheels of a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? for a quick conference with pianist Rogers, pointing out changes they wanted him to make.

The Wood River High School orchestra and chorus performed two songs at the Sun Valley Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diva Party Friday night to drum up support for offering The MET HD: Live programs, which feature opera performances on the big screen, to Blaine County School students. Wood River High School orchestra teacher Rebecca Miller traveled to New York earlier this year to get a peek behind the scenes.

Soprano Alyson Cambridge, a Grand Prize winner of the 2003 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, will perform with the American Festival Chorus and Orchestra directed by Dr. Craig Jessop at 8 p.m. June 30 in the Sun Valley Pavilion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summertime is one of the most performed songs. But usually singers conclude their show with it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen anyone open with it before.â&#x20AC;?

The Punch line Old Ideas, in a New CD BY JAMIE CANFIELD, MUSIC DIRECTOR FOR 103.7 KSKI

ver the past decade, Leonard Cohen has been a very busy man. Since returning to music in 2001 after spending the latter half of the nineties in a Zen Buddhist monastery, Cohen has put out nearly an album a year. His latest releases have chronicled his live tour, which started in 2008 and wrapped up in 2011. Now, Cohen has returned to the studio for Old Ideas, ten songs of faith, renewal, sexuality and acceptance. Cohen’s deep baritone has faded more than slightly with age, but it’s still a voice that can soothe you and worry you at the same

time. He can sing songs about salvation, but at the same time it makes you wonder if that’s exactly what you want. In “Darkness,” he sings, “I used to love the rainbow, I used to love the view, I loved the early morning, I’d pretend that it was new, But I caught the darkness, baby, And I got it worse than you...”. Not exactly “You Are My Sunshine.” Most of the songs were recorded with the band that he’s been touring with for the past four years, so there’s a certain feeling of relaxation in the music; like they’re waiting for his next word to drop so they can accentuate it with a note or a simple flourish. But, like most of his music has been since his career began over

s super-heroines go, Lisbeth Salander, as played by Rooney Mara in the new film version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, is one of a kind. A punk/Goth princess with a wide array of piercings and tattoos, her talent is not super-powers but, rather, a super-intellect and hacking and computer skills that would put anyone else to 8:13 AM shame. Those skills come into

sharp focus in the latest movie incarnation of the international literary blockbuster. Based on the posthumously published trilogy by the Swedish author Steig Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has sold over 65 million copies around the world. Unfortunately, this reviewer has never read the novels, although I did see the Swedish film version just over a year ago, so I am not a part of the rabid fan base and cannot tell you how in tune this film is with the novel. But director David Fincher and A-list screenwriter Steve Zaillian have fashioned a good crime thriller, although a bit long at two and a half hours. The story follows a disgraced journalist, played by Daniel Craig, who is hired by a Swedish

magnate, played by Christopher Plummer, to solve a forty-yearold mystery of the disappearance of his niece. The culprit, it seems, is within the family, and a more evil collection of culprits could not be found, including everyone’s favorite bad guys – Nazis. Halfway through the film, Craig and Mara’s characters meet and team up to try to find the elusive killer. Along the way are a couple of sickening scenes reminiscent of the director’s film, Seven. Of course, I won’t give away the ending, but the two make a great team as well as giving accomplished performances. If you are a lover of murder mysteries, then this is a can’t-miss film for you. tws

Expedition Inspiration Beneficiary of Puigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art BY KAREN BOSSICK

hose who have seen Woody Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vicky Cristina Barcelonaâ&#x20AC;? will recognize the unique painting style of Spanish artist Agusti Puig in his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Womanâ&#x20AC;? exhibition at Gallery DeNovo, 320 First Ave. N. Puig is hard to forget, given the calligraphic dance he performs while pouring buckets of thick paint on canvases stretched across the floor of his studio. Gallery owner Robin Reiners is donating a percentage of sales from the Feb. 11-18 exhibition to the Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research in honor of her mother-in-law, who recently received treatment for breast cancer. To that end sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosting a special gallery reception for the exhibition from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday ahead of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gallery Walk. Wine and light appetizers will be served and guests will have a chance to view Puigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Woman,â&#x20AC;? in addition to other works featuring the female form by artists like Cynthia Fusillo, Melissa Herrington and Sjer Jacobs in the upstairs gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just made sense to work together with this dynamic organization to help their cause,â&#x20AC;? said Reiners.

Climate Challenge Workshop BY BALI SZABO

he city of Hailey held one of its six Climate Challenge workshops at the Hailey Public Library on the evening of Feb. 9. In a threeyear Environmental Protection Agency grant, Hailey has a savea-watt rebate program of up to $2000 for homes and businesses that install full or partial alternate energy systems. Attendance at one of these workshops is a necessary qualification for the program. The full house was hosted by Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability coordinator Mariel Platt, mechanical engineer Brian Formusa and master electrician Ed Van Every. There were several individual presentations that dealt with available alternate energy systems here in the Valley. Mr. Formusa led off explaining the various state and federal (www. energysavers.gov) incentive programs that can save you 30 percent on materials and installation costs. He emphasized that the best bang for the buck was energy conservation within the existing structureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;insulation, Energy Star appliances, sealed doors and windows, etc. Sagebrush Thermalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (solar) Billy Mann led off. He mentioned that 70 percent of our home energy use is for space and hot water heating; that with solar, the more you use, the cheaper it gets, and that your thermal storage is your hot water tank. He talked of different installation alternatives and, lastly, the cost. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using expensive propane, solar has a mere sixyear payback. Natural gas is dirt cheap and solar canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete with it. But, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing clean about natural gas (or coal). The fracking technology thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing the supply glut befouls water sources and releases methane into the atmosphere, 20 times worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. No wonder the state of Idaho is full-steamahead with fracking projects. Solar installations do boost the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equity value by a factor of $3 for every dollar spent. Van Every went through the technical hookup requirements and the various required codes. He emphasized that these

February 15, 2012

alternate energy systems were not do-it-yourself projects. He warned about costs, and he was just talking about the cheaper on-the-grid systems. Solar comes in at $4/watt, or $400/kilowatt hour. With 6.5 hours of sunlight per day, the savings are about $235/year, which can be a 20plus year payback. Incentives and rebates are vital to ease the pain. Van Every mentioned that solar arrays must not have shadows cast on them, ever. Also, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a power outage, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still on the grid, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still have an outage. Most of Van Everyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is installing the more expensive off-the-grid systems that require battery storage. Scott Gates of Idaho Power explained metering systems and the function of the inverter, the interface between what you generate and the grid. In essence, Idaho Power acts as your battery; they take your excess and supply your shortfalls. In summer, when demand is highest and solar is at its most efficient, Idaho Power is happy to take all the extra juice it can get its hands on. Payback on systems producing 2000 kilowatt hours is excellent. The more, the merrier. Photovoltaic (PV) is 150 percent more efficient than wind. If you have a good wind location, chances are you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live there. Evan Lawler of Western States Geothermal explained this ground source system. This is not geothermal water. Instead, a series of pipes are drilled into the ground, which is at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Chemicals in the pipes absorb the temperature and are then amplified to meet your needs. The small, quiet underground system, which will supply 60 percent of your electrical needs (space and water), also works well in reverse, cooling the house in summer. This system gets the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;most efficientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; EPA rating and offers a good return on investment. Blaine County School District is spending $15 million on a series of installations. For info, attend a workshop and or call Mariel Platt at 7889815. The Energy Star website discusses all this in great depth. tws

Gallery Walk Features Wadell Solo Exhibition BY KAREN BOSSICK

heodore Waddell is twirling faster than a tornado this spring as he rushes from one exhibition opening to another. The Hailey rancherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an internationally recognized artistâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will have a major six-month exhibition at the Denver Art Museum, including an 8-by-30-foot painting he is creating for the show, beginning in May. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have another opening in Amarillo, Texas, that same month. And he just returned from Fallon, Nev., where an art center is showing five decades of his work going back to a cloth collage he created as a fifth-grader. On Friday, Waddell will attend a new solo exhibition at Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave. N., in Ketchum, featuring his distinctive Western landscapes of horses, cattle and sheep painted in a blend of abstraction, impressionism and realism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is good,â&#x20AC;? said Waddell, whose paintings are included in U.S. State Department buildings and U.S. embassies in Europe and Asia where they give visitors from all over the world a taste of the American West. Waddell will attend Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday. He also will do a free Artist Chat and walk-through of his work at the gallery at 10 a.m. Saturday. Joining him at the Artist Chat will be Kris Cox, whose sculptural paintings that explore the symbolic notion of time are also being featured at Gail Severn Gallery. Ketchumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s galleries will offer a chance to visit with the artists, along with refreshments, during Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Here are others stops you should make: Harvey Arts Project, 391 First Ave. N., will feature paintings by Papunya Tula Artists in Aboriginal Australia.

cold virus is going around. I know because I caught it. In calling my doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nurse, she said that it would take about a week to recuperate; that I should rest, drink a lot of fluids, and make chicken soup. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what I did and I also looked up online to see why that â&#x20AC;&#x153;old-fashioned chicken soup remedyâ&#x20AC;? was so good for you. This is what I found out: For starters, chicken has been shown to inhibit the production of neutrophils, white blood cells that eat bacteria and cause inflammation and mucus production (i.e., stuffy nose, sore throat, phlegm, etc.). This is important because while neutrophils kill pathogens, their antimicrobial products damage host tissues. Chicken contains cysteine, an amino acid that is thought to help thin mucus in the lungs, making it easier to expel. It sure seemed to help me. Herewith is a recipe that I used. I like it because it has a nice combination of rice, orzo, lentils; the spices seem to meld together beautifully; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dish that you can taste even when your taste buds are at their worst! Whole-Chicken-Thigh Soup a la Margot Actual cooking time 1 hour 3 or 4 whole, well-rinsed chicken thighs (with skin on, preferably) 3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme 2 sprigs fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp. dried oregano 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or 1 Tbsp. dried parsley 3-4 bay leaves 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (or more, if you like) 1 tsp. panch phoron (a Bengali combo of cumin, fennel, mustard, nigella and fenugreek) Sea salt and ground pepper to taste 2 Tbsp. butter (I used salt-free) 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 large onion, thinly sliced 4 cloves garlic coarsely chopped 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, or 1 Tbsp. dried cilantro 3/4 C. lentils, rinsed 1/4 C. brown rice 1/4 C. long-grain white rice 1/2 C. orzo 4 C. chicken stock 6 C. hot water Heat butter and olive oil on medium high. Stir in garlic, onion and panch phoron until garlic and onion are soft (about 5 minutes). Add hot chicken stock and water. Bring to a slow boil and turn heat to medium. Add chicken thighs and remainder of spices and cilantro. After 10 minutes, add brown rice. After 30 minutes, add lentils and white rice. After 50 minutes, add orzo. Before serving, remove bay leaves and sprigs of oregano and thyme if you used fresh ones. If desired, add chopped fresh spinach or kale to soup about 5 minutes before serving. You also can add some chopped carrots about halfway through cooking. When serving/eating, you can squirt a bit of lemon juice on top or serve with lemon slices for guests to spritz themselves; and/or also serve or add a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese as an additional topping. tws

This event will be nearly 60 years after the day Sedin helped his national team capture the silver medal during the Winter Games in Oslo, Norway, by scoring the tying goal against Canada with just three

minutes remaining in the game. The names of the nearly 50 local Olympic athletes, including highjumping legend Dick Fosbury and ski Hall-of-Famer Picabo Street, can be found on the steel panels lining Town Square. The day’s events will start with free hot chocolate heated by Leroy’s new solar thermal system, which allows the ice cream stand to open in winter by using the sun to heat water and a radiant system in the floor. This will be followed by the Olympic roll call, hosted by Dick Fosbury, along with photo opportunities with these great athletes and role models.

ome weeks ago we ran a story about Annabelle, a rescued lamb that was taken in and raised by a local couple, Bill and Linda Sample, on their rural property in Bellevue. The Samples got a companion for Annabelle, and were told he was a “wether”—a castrated male sheep. However, he turned out to be a ram and, to the surprise of everyone, Annabelle gave birth to a male lamb on Tuesday, Feb. 7! The family has named the little guy Bo. Says Linda, “We’re thrilled! He’s the cutest thing. And Annabelle is the perfect mother.” The Samples returned Fred, the adult ram, to his previous owners, but not before a fullgrown ewe showed in their driveway one day. Now the Samples are wondering if she is also pregnant. Says Bill in jest, “It’s the beginning of an empire!” tws

YOUNG LEADERS, from page 1 Dani Theobald has been delivering food for The Hunger Coalition to kids in Head Start and the Blaine County Schools. She also has been helping Sun Valley Adaptive Sports with its Special Olympics and Higher Ground programs. Others are visiting seniors at Blaine Manor, helping the Environmental Resource Center with stream restoration, teaching GPS through the ERC and Wood River Land Trust, working at The Hub youth center and trying to reduce the use of plastic in the community. Keah Jones said she had long considered volunteering with Sun Valley Adaptive Sports, but the Compassionate Young Leaders Program gave her the nudge she needed to get started. Now she is helping with Special Olympics, where she is organizing an end-of-the-season dance celebration for the kids. “Now that I’m volunteering, I see how much need is out there,” she said. The teens will spend two days this weekend at a leadership workshop taught by Tenzin Priyadarshi. Tenzin is a former student of the Dalai Lama, founding director of The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Harvard University graduate who has been quoted on National Public Radio and in The New York Times. He will be joined by Tinsley Galyean, who created a virtual reality exhibit for the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry and worked with such companies as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, AT&T, MoMA, Boston Museum of Science, Disney and Warner Brothers. “Tenzin is an unbelievable scholar who speaks all over the world at leadership training exercises, normally commanding $20,000 and $30,000 per workshop,” said Dr. Glen Shapiro, whose daughter Lex is among the students in the young leaders program. “It’s an extraordinary opportunity for the kids in the Valley,” concurred Redman. “This program teaches prestigious academic institutions and the biggest corporations about having a sophisticated world view.” Of course, this journey takes money—$35,000, to be precise. The kids have raised $4,000 so far and Redman is searching for underwriting. Jones and Finnerty have organized a benefit concert Friday night at the Sun Valley Brewery. And Theobald has organized two days of special yoga workshops in early March. “I’m excited but also a little nervous,” she said. “Every person should have an opportunity like this in their lifetime.” “These kids will come back with a world of experience,” said Shapiro. “And, hopefully, they’ll build on it, mentoring a new crop of high school students.” tws

upcoming benefits

Keah Jones and Brenden Finnerty have organized a concert from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey. Donations will be taken at the door for The Compassionate Young Leaders Program.

William Ashfield

Passage to India BY JONATHAN KANE

ood River High School junior William Ashfield is working on the trip of a lifetime. If everything works out, he will be departing for India on June 28 for a monthlong visit as part of the Compassionate Young Leaders Program. The program was started by the Flourish Foundation out of Los Angeles and the local chapter is headed up by Ryan Redman. The local chapter was started in October and includes seven students. “Our goal is to spread compassion around the world and to serve as a cultural interchange,” Ashfield said. “We’ll be going to Ledakh, India, to work at a local high school and involve ourselves in a multimedia project which will serve as an exchange of ideas and culture. And then we will bring what we learned back here to our community.” Ashfield added, “It’s a very exciting opportunity to make a change in their lives as a high school student.” To accomplish the trip, the students will have to raise $35,000 and each student will be required to put in a hundred hours of community service. To this end, there will be a benefit concert and auction at the Sun Valley Brewery this Friday night featuring an open microphone as well as several local bands performing. “We think it will be a great event and we hope that a lot of people come out to support us. We’ll also have an Indian dinner in Hulen Meadows and we are currently brainstorming on other ways to raise the funds, which we need to do by April 1.” For his community service, Ashfield is splitting his efforts between his two passions – music and a possible career in medicine. “Every Thursday I work for two hours with elementary school children in a scholar-

ship class at Music ’n’ Me where I teach music theory and piano skills. It’s a real challenge working with them but it’s also really rewarding because I haven’t done a lot of this in a long time and it’s great to go back and revisit that stage in your life because it reinforces it and shows you how much you’ve forgotten.” The other fifty hours are spent at St. Luke’s Hospital working in the records department. “I go for three hours every Monday and do filing and building charts. I also help out at The Liberty Theater on various projects.” Currently a junior at Wood River High School, Ashfield is carrying a 3.6 grade point average with a heavy load of Advanced Placement courses. His main interest is science and he is hoping for an internship at the Idaho Bio Science Lab in Ketchum. “Right now I’m taking three A.P. classes – biology, calculus and language and composition. Biology is definitely my favorite course with Mr. Barnes. Science just fits the way my mind works. There’s a ton of lab work and a lot of hands-on learning that fascinates me. What I like is that science is black and white and not subjective. If you ask why and how things work, you can figure it out. I’m hoping to pursue biochemistry as a major in college and then go after a medical degree in graduate school. I’m most interested in neurology and the neurosciences. I’ve suffered a bit from depression and that has really changed me as a person. The brain is one of the last frontiers for us to explore.” Ashfield’s hopes are to attend Reed College and CalPoly Technic. Both schools would be lucky to have such a fine tws young man.

Ask the Guys

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

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

Fast Facts Aerated

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

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

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

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

Tree Top

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

Reader Humor All Fall Down

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

510 thank you notes Two hundred twelve students from Hailey Elementary School invaded Dollar and Bald Mountains to investigate gravitational forces at work. Simultaneously, we had 25 students take over the Hailey Ice Rink to test theories of inertia. Fourteen students propelled themselves at Sun Valley’s Nordic Center. At Rotarun, Fifty 2nd graders spent a day experimenting with bodies at rest and motion. All of these winter scientists were a part of the Hailey Elementary School’s Winter Sports Program.Our annual Winter Sports Program promotes the opportunity for students to experience outdoor winter sports, some for the very first time. Since 1979, Sun Valley Company has graciously donated lift tickets to our students as well as our parent and staff chaperones. A program of this nature could never have been possible without the generous support and commitment of the following: Sun Valley Company, Dollar and River Run Staff, Sun Valley Ski Patrol, Rotarun Ski Area, Hailey Ice, Sturtevant’s Hailey, Hailey Elementary School PTA, Hailey Elementary School Staff and Parent Chaperones, Hailey Elementary School Parent Scholarship Contributors, Blaine County School District, Blaine County School District Transportation Department.
