Mountain Miracle BY KAREN BOSSICK

Sun Valley skier is alive today, thanks to the persistence of two skiers and the Sun Valley Ski Patrol. The Ski Patrol received a report at 10:18 a.m. Saturday of a skier down on 42nd Street just below Exhibition on the River Run side of Bald Mountain. Ski patrollers responded and found two skiers from Twin Falls performing CPR on the unresponsive skier, who was in his early 60s, according to Sun Valley spokesman Jack Sibbach. The two skiers had reportedly just completed their CPR training. According to the scuttlebutt on Baldy, ski patrollers used the defibrillator twice without a response. On the third attempt—about 15 minutes after CPR was initiated—the man sat up, wondering what was going on. The defibrillator was used more than once, Sibbach confirmed. The Ski Patrol transported the man to the bottom of River Run. Given the snowy conditions, he was then transported to an area near Shoshone where he was air-lifted by helicopter and taken to a hospital in Twin Falls. The man was back home by noon Sunday and word was that he planned to return to Baldy on Tuesday to thank the Ski Patrol, said Sibbach. “The cardiologist said that if it weren’t for that couple performing CPR, that that guy would’ve died,” added Sibbach, who declined to release the names of the heart attack victim or his rescuers. “The efforts of that couple performing CPR and the Ski Patrol saved a life that day.” Ski Patroller Bryant Dunn said the Ski Patrol is always grateful for the opportunity to participate in little miracles like this one. “All I can say is that it’s a privilege for us to serve the public and when we have outcomes like this, it’s even better.”

Free Play Reading BY KAREN BOSSICK

rphaned in childhood, Phillip has grown up with a skewed view of the world. He never leaves his dilapidated row house in North Philadelphia because he fears he might die from something out there after having had a neardeath experience from an allergic reaction in childhood. He learns about the world by watching reruns of “The Price is Right” and seeks to hang onto his dead mother’s memory by lying in her clothes closet. His already wacky world is turned upside down when his brother Treat, who provides for the two of them through thievery, kidnaps a Chicago gangster named Harold. Harold, smarter than the two of them combined, soon becomes teacher, healer and surrogate parent to the two grown orphans. This play by American playwright Lyle Kessler will be presented as a free play reading at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The play reading will star Scott Creighton, Dawson Howard and Ben Flandro. Complimentary wine and cookies will be served. “We try to feature great writing in our play reading series and Lyle Kessler is an extraordinary playwright,” said Jon Kane, who will direct the reading. “This is a very entertaining

Snow Business

STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ennis Harper got used to watching the skies for snow as a sugar beet farmer in the Raft River Valley south of Burley. Now he watches the heavens as Sun Valley’s snowmaking manager. Harper and the 18 men and women who work for him around the clock helped build a snowy playground on Baldy and Dollar mountains this year in a snowless season that might otherwise have been a bust. Using water and compressed air, they covered Sun Valley’s ski hill in white, allowing skiers and boarders to play in the snow when ski resorts in Utah, California and other states had little or no terrain open. “What they’ve done is nothing short of spectacular,” said Bob Gordon, who owns Formula Sports ski shop in Ketchum. “The snowmaking saved our bacon. But, beyond that, it’s every bit as good as the real stuff and maybe even better. It’s very consistent and grooms out real well. We’ve had excellent conditions from Thanksgiving Day onward, whether we had natural snow or not.” By the time Sun Valley opened to 2,600 skiers on Thanksgiving Day, Sun Valley had used 62 million gallons of water—20 million gallons more than last year at the same time. It was enough to fill a hundred Olympic-sized swimming pools, said snowmaker Corey Allen. Altogether, Sun Valley’s snowmakers sprayed 168 million gallons of water this year through the end of January when they stopped making snow. That’s 36 million gallons more than last year when Sun Valley got a bumper crop of snow but, amazingly, not as much as the 178-million-gallon record the resort set in 2007. This year Sun Valley used 2 ½ million gallons of water to build the bump course to the right of lower Warm Springs. The resort used nearly 9 million gallons to build the 18-foot-tall, 437-foot-long superpipe on Dollar Mountain and another 4 million gallons to make snow for features on the mountain’s terrain park. Perhaps the most impressive figure that Harper carries around in his head, however, is the one comparing it to his farming roots. Running Sun Valley’s snowmaking system full bore uses only about the same amount of water as two farming pivots that cover 250 acres each, he says. “And we have more fun per gallon with our water than the farmers do,” he adds. Although Sun Valley has not been making snow for the past few weeks, Harper is still leading free 90-minute tours that show skiers and boarders how the craft has evolved since the winter of 194950 when three aircraft engineers in a

snowless Connecticut connected a garden hose to a 10-horsepower compressor and spray-gun nozzle to make the ski world’s first snow gun. The final tours of the season will be offered at 11 a.m. Thursday and Saturday. Up to 15 people can take part. Tourgoers should check in at the River Run Lodge desk on the morning of the tour. Those who sign up for the tour will follow Harper up to the Roundhouse Restaurant via the gondola. There they will cruise down a cat track onto the gentle Roundhouse Slope, angling to the right toward a clump of trees along the edge of the slope. Hidden among the trees is Snowmaking Central—a big concrete building that

houses fire hoses, snow gun parts, air compressors and the computerized system that monitors the 555 automatic guns on Baldy. Harper’s crew starts each season with what they call “production snow,” putting more water in the snow to make a good hard base that neither skiers nor snowgroomers will break through. It was actually easier building that base this year with the lack of natural snow than last year when Baldy was besieged by natural snow during November and December, says Harper. The snowmakers build mountains up to 25 feet tall, which the groomers then

Changing the World Through Collective Giving STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

e part of a new tsunami for good. So encouraged Colleen Willoughby, founder of Washington Women’s Foundation Wednesday afternoon as she touted the power of collective giving. Willoughby told a hundred women—and a few men—at a meeting sponsored by the Wood river Women’s Charitable Foundation at The Valley Club that women as donors was a novelty when she started her organization in 1995. Now there are 4,500 members in a network of 30 such organizations. Philanthropy is about more than moving money, she added. Collective generosity allows inspired donors to think bigger dreams together. Willoughby illustrated how the United Way gave a $25 million grant to an early learning program after her organization made the initial donation of $65,000 to that organization. She is now involved with a group called Global Women: Partners in Philanthropy to see if they can replicate philanthropy among Chinese women. “Grants are providing the currency that moves the needle,” she added. Willoughby said that 60 percent of the wealth in this country is now held by women.

“We have just completed the first decade of the 21st century. Now is our chance to be women of our time,” she said. “We may not all be wealthy women but we hold great wealth in common.” The Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation has had a visible impact since Barbara Thrasher and Jo Murray founded the local organization six years ago. Tricia Swartling said the money that has been given to The Advocates employability program has taught clients about the little details—like dressing for success. “One client told us ‘I realized when I dress professionally people see me differently,’ ” she said. The $94,500 the Foundation has given to The Hunger Coalition over the past four years has funded 540,000 meals through the mobile food bank and provided 11,500 backpacks containing food for school kids each weekend, said Hunger Coalition Director Jeanne Liston. A $12,500 donation allowed College of Southern Idaho to build a biology lab in Hailey’s Community Campus that is used by high school students, as well as college students, said Jenny Emery Davidson, who heads up the CSI Blaine Campus. And the college was able to leverage that money to secure another $30,000 from organizations like

“You’re not here to make a living You’re here to enrich the world. And you impoverish yourself if you forget that.” –Patty Gilman

St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center, she added. “The microscopes are so symbolic to me because you look into them and a whole world opens up to you,” she said. Patty Gilman recounted how the city of Bellevue was thinking of closing its library before the women gave it a $10,000 donation. The grant was the second chance the library needed, she said. It not only gave the library the ability to remodel but it attracted other donations and it changed the attitude of the mayor and his council.

Becky Follo chats with Marian Edwards at Wednesday’s tea for the Women’s Charitable Foundation.

The summer reading program has grown from 20 kids to 162 with a waiting list. And the library now teaches teen parents how to read to their kids. “You’re not here to make a living. You’re here to enrich the world. And you impoverish yourself if you forget that,” Gilman told the women, quoting from a book she pulled from one of her

shelves. Thrasher thanked the 130 members of the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation for their support. “The number of ideas it takes to change the world: One,” she said. “We took one good idea and made it our own. And we’ve given away $757,000 because of it.” tws

t’s official. The VAMPS nudged out the Divas for the inaugural Leif Odmark trophy in Leif’s Race Saturday. A very small margin separated the cross-country skiing VAMPS from the alpine skiing Divas as they combined the results of a giant slalom down Bald Mountain’s Cozy and a 5K race at the Sun Valley Nordic Center. Either way, we’re sure that the late Leif Odmark, who was first and foremost a ladies’ man in addition to being an Olympiccaliber alpine skier, Nordic skier, ski jumper, biathlete and ice

hockey player, would have been pleased with the participation of two large groups of women in the race he started in 1992. The winning team: Karoline Droege, Louise Noyes, Gretchen Flint, Debby Law, JoAnn Levy, Joanne Davis, Courtney Gilbert, Carol Monteverde, Kristy Johansen, Brett Stevenson, Karen Simpson, Patricia Simpson, Julie Dahlgren, Kristin O’Reilly and Leslie Vontver. In the Men’s division, the overall top three were Scott Robinson, John Campbell and Jake Peters. And in the Women’s division they were Karoline Droege, Alexa Turzian and Brett Stevenson. tws

Alpine Skiing BY BALI SZABO

ochi, Russia, the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, is located in southern Russia, on the Black Sea, at the northwest tip of the Bolsoj Caucasian mountains. It’s only 300 miles west of the Cseschniya capitol of Grozny, which explains the presence of Kalashnikov-carrying police, who were everywhere. Two years ago, there was nothing here—no lifts, no trails, no base infrastructure—and now, enough facilities have been built to host a trial-run World Cup event. Much to the chagrin of refined European ladies used to their bidets, the waiting area on top lacked the proper facilities, and they only had a hole in the ground. A foot of fresh snow fell on Wednesday and the 200 slippers were not enough to clear the course for Thursday’s downhill training run. Much grumbling. At a usual European event, there are about 500 slippers for the men and another 500 for the women, at least, and they have to be trained. It is not just a guy and a shovel. At Sochi, at least 20 feet of fresh snow had to be mixed with the underlying base, and it was just too much. They weren’t ready for it, but vowed they will be by 2014. A full-speed training run was held Friday, and for the world’s reigning No. 1 speed specialist, Lindsey Vonn, it was love at first sight. For her, the terrain was perfect: sidehills, traverses, big open turns, Super-G turns, two uphill sections, a tunnel jump (75 feet of air), and steeps balanced with flats. She was from 1.5 to 3 seconds ahead of the competition. On the other hand, her teammate, Julia Mancuso, was far less enthusiastic. At 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the snow was soft and sticky, and so held back and misdirected a lot of racers. In front of a sparse crowd,

Saturday’s downhill was won by Vonn’s best friend, Maria HoeflRiesch. Elisabeth Goergl of Austria was second and Lindsey was third. Julia Mancuso was sixth, young Stacy Cook was ninth, and Alice McInnis was 10th to give the Americans four top-10 finishes on a big-time course. With the win, Vonn clinched the downhill title and has a huge lead in the overall. She also has the Super-Combined lead, Sunday’s scheduled event. Aside from two mistakes, Vonn blamed her skis. She’s the only one who uses men’s skis, but on this day, she switched. Sunday’s SC had to be cancelled, and was not rescheduled; overnight heavy snow made the course too dangerous. The racers said the snow felt like sand. The FIS has cancelled the SC for future years because it was just too much for four event skiers, and there were only three races to begin with. In Bansko, Bulgaria, Marcel Hirscher won the giant slalom. Ted Ligety led after the first run, but after a bad mistake on the upper part of the second run, he went from first to last, to finish 27th. Italy’s Massimiliano Blardone was second, and Austria’s Marcel Mathis was third. With no points here, Ligety also lost his lead in the GS standings. Bode Miller crashed on his first run and won’t compete in Sunday’s slalom. He literally slid across the finish line on his back as he managed to tumble through the last three gates. Marcel Hirscher continued his winning ways in Sunday’s slalom on the Banderitsa course. Andre Myhrer of Sweden was second, with Stefano Gross of Italy in third. Hirscher is only 18 points behind Ivica Kostelic, who did have knee surgery in Basel and will be out at least a month. Nolan Kasper of Warren, Vermont (Mad River ), had a great second run to finish sixth. tws Ligety was seventh.

briefs Rotarun Dual Race Results are in and the Final Race is this Friday Tele, snowboard and alpine disciplines were all represented on the race course at last Friday’s Dual Race at Rotarun Ski Area, sponsored by Hearing Aid Counselors & Audiology. Friday’s race was the third in the 4-race series presented by 5-B Garage and Rotarun Ski Area. Racers’ last chance to join the fun is this Friday at the Haemmerle & Haemmerle Dual GS Race. Competition is open to all ages and any equipment. Everyone is welcome to practice running gates Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. at Rotarun. Race registration will be at Sun Valley Brewing on Thursday, 7 – 8 p.m.; or just before racing Friday, 5 – 6 p.m. at Rotarun.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite simple if you look at it from his point of view. How else are you going to get just the right gravelly effect to sing like Johnny Cash?!!! And that leads to two things you have to know about Kip Attaway: This cowboy comedian and singer likes to prop his act up with props. And he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take himself or the icons of rock and roll and country music seriously. His show every Wednesday evening is billed as aprĂ¨s-ski at The Boiler Room in Sun Valley.

And he puts on a great show,â&#x20AC;? says Sun Valley resident Ann Parry. Attaway is a good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boy who is as likely as not to introduce himself wearing a size 96 pair of underwear that he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;belongs to the little woman.â&#x20AC;? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any time to get the audience clucking away, not with a song about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing for Chickens.â&#x20AC;? Attaway puts swimming plugs on his nose to emulate the nasal sound of Willie Nelson, essentially holding his breath through two songs. He fills himself with helium to do The Monkeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daydream Believer.â&#x20AC;? And he cracks the audience up with his caricatures of the Rolling Stones, even presenting his idea of what it would have been like if the Stones had grown up in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the home of Mayberry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those good oldfashioned comediansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get up there and tell jokes about Republicans and other politicians,â&#x20AC;? said Sun Valley resident Ned Flanagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just pokes fun at the things of daily life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And his guitar playing is amazing,â&#x20AC;? added Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entertainment Director John Mauldin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can really play the guitar.â&#x20AC;? Attaway left home in Dallas, Texas, at 17 to take up with friends who were starting a band in Mountain Home, Idaho. In 1973 he ended up in Sun Valley singing at Mulvaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Whiskeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when lack of snow forced the bars to cancel their headliners. He remembers when his good friend Pinto Bennett became the first person in Idaho to get stun-gunned when, as Attaway tells it, Bennett walked out of Whiskey Jacquesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with a drink

and police wanting to try out the new device didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him long to put up his hands. When Sun Valley Resort wanted to make a Christmas recording, he corralled Muzzie Braunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys into the recording studio to make their first recordingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Getting Nuttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; For Christmas.â&#x20AC;? The boys have since gone on to make plenty of recordings of their own as members of Reckless Kelly and Mickey and the Motorcars. Attaway now calls Jackson, Wyo., â&#x20AC;&#x153;home,â&#x20AC;? even though he confesses â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a home without a bar to play in since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all gone hip-hop.â&#x20AC;? So, instead, he makes a living riding a circuit that takes him from West Yellowstone to Sun Valley to Logan, Utah, before starting it all over again the next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a snowmaker,â&#x20AC;? he tells a following in Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boiler Room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever I hit the road, snow follows,â&#x20AC;? he adds, launching into a song about â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna ski Sun Valley, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better have a shovel in your van.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go to Palm Springs and we hit a 90-mile-per-hour windstorm,â&#x20AC;? he adds, introducing â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Always Get Religion When I Fly.â&#x20AC;? Attaway himself has written and recorded a dozen-plus albums, detailing his infatuation with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;UPS Ladyâ&#x20AC;? and his â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Got Dem Jimmy Buffet You Can Stuff It Key West Calypso Blues.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even one song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock Springs to Cheyenne,â&#x20AC;? that mentions Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a rarity in the music world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting fat and bald. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having a blast. And I have no intention of retiring,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all, this job has taken me everywhere I wanted to goâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from Australia to Hawaii and the Bahamas, too.â&#x20AC;? tws

financial planning

Don’t Let April 15 Pass By By Patrick Buchanan State Farm® Agent

pril 15 has long been considered a date to avoid. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do something to lower your federal income tax burden instead of mailing a big check on April 15? With a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you may be able to do just that. A contribution of the 2011 maximum of $5,000 by April 15, 2012 could reduce your taxable income, making your federal tax burden less for the year. If you were 50 or older by the end of 2011, you can add a $1,000 catch-up contribution to potentially reduce the tax burden even more. If you already have a traditional IRA, plan to

make a contribution by the April 15 deadline. If not, talk to a financial professional as soon as possible to start one. There are restrictions governing who may deduct contributions to a traditional IRA. If you don’t qualify for a traditional IRA deduction, consider a Roth IRA. You won’t get the federal tax deduction now, but qualified withdrawals can be made free of federal income tax during your retirement years. Either way, having a plan for retirement is important. You owe it to yourself to make the best tws plan as soon as possible.

The Mission of Cultural Exchange STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

he seven Wood River High School students who hope to be able to go to the far province of Ladakh in northern India had their first fundraiser at the Sun Valley Brewery last Friday night. The well-attended affair was one of several fundraisers that will be held in the Valley. The students need to raise $35,000 in order to go on their educational mission. Last Saturday, the students attended a workshop at All Things Sacred in Ketchum’s Galleria building. It was a part of the Compassionate Young Leaders Program of The Flourish Foundation, headed locally by Ryan Redman. Redman asked the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values of MIT to run the workshop. The founding director and ordained monk, The Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, was happy to oblige. He will return in May for another session right before the students are set to leave on their three-week journey to this Tibetan culture redoubt just north of Kashmir. This will be an experience of a lifetime for them. At the age of 10—23 years ago—prompted by dreams and visions, Tenzin Priyadarshi decided to enter a Buddhist monastery ‘by my own volition’— unusual determination for one so young. Usually it is the family who sends a youth to the monastery. A few decades ago, most families in Ladakh had at least one child living and studying in a monastic environment. Though himself a Buddhist monk, Tenzin was quick to point out that this leadership program was basically secular in its approach. “We encourage a transformation of mind ground in many contemplative traditions,” he said. “We teach to transform oneself in order to transform others.” Tenzin felt that the world today suffers from a vacuum of little or no leadership. The Center is dedicated to countering this condition. The best way to achieve this is to teach leadership skills to the young. Tenzin emphasizes that an open mind and compassion avoids the trap of ‘the cult of personality,’ which is the abode of the demagogue. In the last few years the Dalai Lama has been sold out by governments and organizations that have buckled under pressure from the Chinese Communists. They suddenly distanced themselves from him (e.g., the Special Olympics and South Africa).

Tenzin Priyadarshi

This is a good example of a lack of leadership. I asked Tenzin how he dealt with the problem of Western cultural imperialism and the preservation of indigenous cultures. Without hesitation, he replied, “Indigenous does not mean museum piece. Educational tools aim to bring Ladakhi students up to par with the rest of the world. They need to be exposed to other ideas. Everyone has the right to evolve. Living traditions cannot thrive, or survive, with parochial blinders on. These Valley students are being taught to help the Ladakhi locals to preserve what they want to preserve and then equip them to deal with the modern world.” The two are not mutually exclusive. That is so Dalai Lama. For more on the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values go to http://thecenter. mit.edu tws

Snake River Council’s Boy Scouts Visit Otter to Give Annual Report FOR THE WEEKLY SUN

he Snake River Council, Boy Scouts of America, presented its annual report to Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter on February 8, 2012, the 102nd birthday of Boy Scouting in the United States. Offering the report were Cub Scout Asher Stern from Hailey, Varsity Scout Dexter Greener from Burley, Eagle Scout Kevin Robison from Hansen, Eagle Scout Clayton Schoessler from Bliss, and Eagle Scout Mark Sneddon from Twin Falls. Joining the Scouts were Council Executive Paul Tikalsky, District Director Dan Arters, report coordinator Cindy Jesinger, and “Butch” the robot, designed by Twin Falls Boy Scout Robotics Explorer Post No. 411. The Scouts began the celebratory day with breakfast at Café de Paris in Boise, where they rehearsed their presentation. At 10 a.m. they were joined by delegates from the Grand Teton Council in eastern Idaho and the Ore-Ida Council in western Idaho to meet with the governor. The report of the Snake River Council highlighted the outstanding service and skill development provided by the Snake River Council during 2011. Service highlights included VFW Eagle Scout of the Year Kevin Robison’s project designing and constructing picnic benches that are accessible for those with physical challenges. Clayton Schoessler’s Eagle Scout project was also commended. Organizing a team to provide over 300 hours of service, Schoessler restored and reframed 90-plus years of photographs for Bliss High School and constructed a 110-foot shelf to display them.

Idaho Representative Wendy Jaquet from District No. 25 joined her constituent, Cub Scout Asher Stern, for the report. Asher told the governor that most of the time Cub Scouts just have fun in Scouting. Rep. Jaquet announced the BSA Report to the Governor on the floor of the Idaho House of Representatives. After a brief instruction by Eagle Scout Mark Sneddon, Gov. Otter demonstrated his ability in maneuvering “Butch” the robot around his office. Gov. Otter autographed his namesake. In his weekly newsletter, Gov. Otter wrote: “The Boy Scouts presented their annual report to me on their 102nd anniversary, Wednesday, February 8, 2012. I always look forward to hearing these reports. These young men are the future leaders of our state. I was pleased to host them and to listen to how Scouts are

making a difference all over our great state. While in my office, the Boy Scouts showed off what will be their entry in a robotics competition that will take place at the University of Idaho. The competition will take place this coming weekend. I got to test drive their entry, which they informed me will now be referred to as “Butch.” I kind of like the ring of that! Good luck to these fine young men in the competition.” Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has been the nation’s foremost program of character development and values-based leadership training for youth. The program encourages youth to pursue their special interests, make new friends, develop leadership skills, and give back to their community. Scouting annually serves the needs of nearly 5 million youth. Learn more about Scouting at www.scouting.org or http://srcouncil.org/ tws

Alberta Jefferson is Jazzed about Dance BY JONATHAN KANE

lberta Jefferson, Wood River High School junior, has been a dancer with Footlight Dance Centre since she was four years old. Her mother is a singer, dancer and actress, and “I got my love of performing from her,” said Jefferson. “My earliest memories were of parent visiting week when the parents would come and watch our work. My mom is also a teacher with Footlight and it would be nervewracking that she would come and correct me, but that was because I was always striving for her to be proud of me.” Jefferson added, “Technically, I was not supposed to be dancing at such a young age but my mother wanted me to be exposed to what she loved in the hopes that I would love it, too.” Although she has been doing it most of her life, Jefferson still experiences jitters before going in front of an audience. “It’s my earliest memories and I still deal with it. But I absolutely love performing. When I get on stage, I feel that I have an automatic presence. When I’m backstage, I put on a smile and my face ends up hurting because I smile for two hours. It’s hard to remember the individual pieces because when you’re on stage the adrenaline is really flowing so fast that you’re not sure how it went.” She added, “It’s a gift to be able to share your talents with other people because we really work hard at it. The energy of the group is so great. Everyone has their own quirks and personality, and we’re nervous, but when you’re done, it’s all about what you can do. ‘This is what I have to offer and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.’”

Giacobbi Square

At Footlight, Jefferson immerses herself in every aspect of dance – ballet/point, tap, modern, jazz and hip-hop. “Jazz is my favorite and the one thing that separates me from the other girls. It’s my niche because I’m comfortable and good at it. I’m not necessarily built to be a dancer, so dancing on point is difficult for me. In jazz, you take away the point aspect, and I’m very hyper, and jazz really gives that energy an outlet.” Her work schedule is pretty rigorous. “When we’re performing, we rehearse six times a week; otherwise, it’s four times a week. There are two classes a night for a total of three hours, or twelve hours a week. Monday we take Pilates and ballet, Tuesday ballet and modern, Wednesday tap and modern, and Thursday hip-hop and ballet.” For performances, there are basically two every year and they include every dance style. Jefferson is the only one in her age group to participate in every dance. One of those performances is called a lecture/demonstration and consists of a program that tours all the schools in the Blaine County School District and plays to all grade levels. “Each dance is developed on a separate concept and attendance is mandatory for the students. I started touring in sixth grade, which is young, because the tour is made up of the company level, which is high school. I remember having a tap piece with a friend of mine. Performing for the young kids is so great because they look up to you as role models and they take it so well. Performing for the high schools is nerve-wracking because everyone knows you so well.”

At Wood River, Jefferson is immersing herself this year in three A.P. classes – micro and macro economics and language and composition, and last she completed A.P. history. “I’m getting a great education there and the teachers push you to extraordinary levels. It’s also great to get college-level experience and credits while you’re in high school.” Jefferson plans are to minor in dance in college and hopefully major in forensic science. “I used to watch The Discovery Channel a lot and that probably spurred my interest. I’m considering the medical field, even though I know it’s difficult. I really want to help people and that seems like a good way.” Through her art, Jefferson is already helping people in an imtws mense way.

Sun Valley filmmaker David Butterfield will share clips from his new documentary “The Sun Valley Story” and present a behind-the-scenes look at Sun Valley’s history and the making of the film in a free presentation at 6 p.m. Tuesday at The Community Library in Ketchum. Butterfield got his start with legendary filmmaker Warren Miller. More recently he produced an independent film and covered cutting-edge ski and snowboard competitions and headliner concerts for network television. In between there were travelogued corporate films, news shows, commercials and cable TV series—adventures, lessons about life, and lots of fun.

ike all great films, the new movie Melancholia draws you in, as if entering into a trance, and then stays with you days after the screening. Ostensibly a sci-fi flick about the end of the world, it is unlike any other sci-fi film that you have ever seen. Directed by the Dane Lars von Trier, the unfortunate postscript is that the film has been overshadowed by his shocking pro-Hitler comments that he made this year at Cannes. Hopefully you can overcome this and seek out this brilliant movie. Having never seen a von Trier film before, I am now anxious to explore his work further. The movie is difficult to describe by any means. Split into two sections named for the two sisters at its heart—Justine and Claire—the audience is made aware from the get-go into a hypnotic opening sequence, scored to Wagner’s Tristan Isolde, that the planet Earth faces sure destruction at the hands of a planet called Melancholia. In the first part, we watch a wedding of Kirsten Dunst who, it turns out, also suffers from severe melancholia, which Freud described as “a profoundly painful dejection.” This section is most reminiscent of Jonathan Demme’s film Rachel Getting Married, as the dysfunction of the affair turns comic. The second half focuses on the character’s impending doom as the anxiety builds as the Earth hurtles toward its inevitable end. No Hollywood gimmicks here—just a spectacular shot as the characters meet their fate. Dunst is simply spectacular and quickly moves to the head of the class for her generation of actors. Having won the best actress award at Cannes, it seems criminal that she did not even receive an Oscar nomination for her work. Perhaps it is backlash toward von Trier, but it’s the Oscar’s loss. Deeply expressive, Dunst gives the movie the heart of a lion and her performance is one that will not be easily forgotten, as is the case with this film. tws

a recipe… from my table to yours BY MARGOT VAN HORN

n 1880, it was legislated by Congress that February 22nd, President Washington’s birthday, would be the day to celebrate democracy and freedom in the USA. Today is February 22nd, so that brings to mind the story about George and the cherry tree. As we all have heard, when he was a wee lad of six he loved to play with hatchets (can you imagine that?) and supposedly hacked and destroyed a cherry tree that was very precious to his father. When his father asked little George about that, of course honest George could not tell a lie. Some debate whether this is a true tale or not; however, it still makes me think about cherries. I guess that’s the way my mind works. Anyway, if you have a liking for granola or oatmeal kinds of breakfasts or treats, here’s a quick and easy dish with cherries that will give you lots of energy for our wonderful outdoor activities. Better yet, you can also warm it back up and have it after the exercise with a bit of ice cream or frozen yogurt. Who cares about calories at that point!

Cherry Granola Breakfast Bake • 1 egg • 1/4 C. sugar • 1 1/2 C. milk • 4 Tbsp. melted butter • 1 C. cherries (I used part of a can of cherry pie filling/topping) • 3 C. granola (I used almond and vanilla granola from a bin) Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9-inch round or square baking pan (or I used my 9 ½-by-7 ½-inch oval Pyrex dish) with non-stick spray and, if you want to invert this dish like a cake, put a little flour on the bottom and invert when cool. Beat together the egg, sugar, milk and melted butter. Stir cherries and granola in your baking dish along with the batter. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until set (when knife or toothpick inserted in center comes out clean). You can dust the top with powdered sugar and add more fruit for additional color. You can serve it immediately with maple or fruit syrup. You can heat it later in the day and serve it with ice cream. You can also substitute cherries for other fruits. Happy Washington’s birthday to all and, bon appétit! Margot tws

y 4:30 a.m., the sherpas had the fires going. An hour later, the clanging of spoons on fry pans announced breakfast was ready. Most of us were up and aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just waking up, clutching a hot cup, rubbing the chill from arms and shoulders, heartened to see the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amber glow light the distant ridges. I packed the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, rolled up the sleeping bag and pad, zipped the duffels, threw them out the door for the porters, and I was ready. For me, an early start meant I might arrive in time for lunch, which was a leisurely affair. The mornings were beautiful; there was always mist and clouds in constant motion with the blue skies and sharp-angled sun. These low mountains (5,000 feet to 9000 feet) were a palace of light. Mist-softened shapes co-existed with clarity, luminosity and deep shadows. Eye-level cloud puffs seemed lit from the inside. The breath and breadth of the land, the distant bulking uplands, a magnet that spurred us on. All this expansiveness opened the mind, and our spirits could soar past the aches and pains, the blisters and the other inertia of existence. We moved through fields of flowering millet and marigolds, always toward the eastern sun. When we were cold, we wanted warmth. By mid-afternoon, the heat of day had us seeking shade. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get to camp, and in the morning we were eager to get going. This landscape of contrasts was mocking us. This landscape of desire spawned a religion that eschewed desire in favor of an artesian equanimity that embraced impermanence. The lead sherpas always set a torrid pace. They were all speed walkers, almost at a jog. On this day, we lunched at a monastery above Dulausa. These local prayer rooms were simple affairsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just one dark room with barely visible tonkas and shrine artifacts. During service, the butter lamps would be lit. Meditation keeps the inner lamp and does not need the distracting

splendor of the outside world, the seductress, Oddyseusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; siren. The homes of the locals were equally spartan. A typical bedroom had an east window, a large bed, a straw mat and a colorful pair of slippers placed neatly next to it. In a two-story home, the animals were downstairs and the upper level was the human space of kitchen and bedroom. One of the uses of a Central Asian rug is to cover a corner piled with the miscellaneous household â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stuffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of living. Our lunch was ample: juice, fried eggs, fried potatoes, pancakes, some Spam and cheese. All this time, the good doctor and I (medicine men are always in charge of the drugs) wondered where all the reputed marijuana was. Finally, on the way to Dhumtali, we found several tall bushes of it near a rest stop. It was an instant cause cĂŠlĂ¨bre. The young among us broke off some branches and waved it around like a victory flag. Our forced march came upon a perk! The older folks looked on with more amusement than scorn. The head sherpa waved his finger in admonishment, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide his smirk. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ganja no good, ganja no good,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said, but in no time started to laugh, along with everybody else. We all had the giggles and we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even smoked any of it yet. We embraced the bushes like a longlost brother. We strapped the haul on top of our daypacks. We had our fringed epaulets. The porters carried the chickens; we lugged the herbs. We noticed an interesting courtesy. Along the trail, each marijuana bush had a few broken branches, so the leaves could dry. The locals used a little with their tobacco. If you broke off a dry branch, you also would break a fresh one as replacement. The crop here was also used for fiber (hemp) and the seeds for oil. In the coming days, the prevailing attitude among those who never smoked pot was that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what happens in Nepal stays in Nepal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; tws

ed bug infestations are increasingly common, but there are steps that can be taken to prevent bed bugs from infesting your home. A bed bug is a small but visible insect about the size of an apple seed that exclusively feeds on blood. The adult is approximately Âź inches in length, brownish in color with an oval, flattened body. Unlike pests that feed on filth, the level of cleanliness has little to do with most bed bug infestations. Pristine homes, hotels and apartments have plenty of hiding places and an abundance of warm-blooded hosts. Bed bugs are frequently found on the undersides of box springs and behind headboards. They can also live in upholstered furniture, clothing, and carpeting. Confirmation of a bed bug infestation requires finding and identifying the bugs, which often requires the help of a professional. As difficult as it can be to eradicate bed bugs, it makes great sense to take precautions to avoid them in the first place. Homeowners should be vigilant when acquiring used furnishings, especially beds and couches. Curbside items should be avoided, and secondhand articles should be examined closely before being brought into the home. Avoiding problems with bed bugs is most challenging in apartments and hotels. Preventative inspection by tenants, housekeeping staff, or pest control firms is the best way to uncover infestations in their initial stages when they are easiest to control. The incidence of bed bugs in the United States is increasing to the point where vigilance by all is a prudent practice. Familiarity can help to avoid infestation, or at least prompt earlier intervention by a professional.

Judd’s Hope

blaine hoofbeats

BY KAREN BOSSICK

shley Judd said the last time she was reminded of her diagnosis—suicidal depression—it took her breath away. “Because I have such a joyous life today,” the movie actress explained. But it was not always that way, Judd told more than 300 people that crowded into Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church Monday night. Judd, who appeared in Sun Valley Monday evening on behalf of the Wood River Chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), said that she came from a family that was blessed with creativity, brilliance and resilience. But that same family was also cursed with generations of dysfunction, including alcoholism and mental illness. Alcoholics aren’t bad people who need to get good, confided Judd, who was joined by her personal counselor. “They’re sick people who have an opportunity to get well if they get the appropriate help.” Judd, who looked radiant in a sleek knit dress, spoke easily as if she was chatting to friends over a kitchen table as she described how she tried everything she could think of, including yoga, to change a world in which abnormal had become normal. She suffered from high anxiety and rage. She couldn’t keep her weight on. And the coping strategies she’d relied on in childhood became her shortcomings in adulthood, she said. Part of what makes people with vulnerabilities mute is a propensity to keep secrets in the family, she said. And, like so many, she was ashamed to show people her pain. Shedding all that and the depression that cloaked it was like breaking up with a lover, she said, “Finally, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired,” she said as she described recovery that started several years ago with family week at the center where her older sister Wynonna was being treated for an eating disorder. Judd said her depression was treated like an addiction as she was encouraged to take a good hard look at avoidance and the other behaviors she engaged in. She even had a sponsor as they do in Alcoholics Anonymous. Judd said one of the biggest helps has been making sure that everyone on her team of therapists has the same complete story, rather than parts of the truth. “What it’s taken for me is a lot of serious hard work,” she added. Wendy Norbom, who heads up the local NAMI chapter, praised Judd’s willingness to talk about her journey to recovery in public. “It takes a lot to share the words that Ashley shared. To find the voice to do that is remarkable,” said a tearful Norbom.

Lucky Lorraine VALLEY TRAINER PROFILES BY MIA EDSALL

alley horse trainer Lorraine Wilcox is owner/operator of Lucky 13 Ranch in Hailey. She is assisted at Lucky 13 by Adrienne Baisch and Cindy McKinnon. Lorraine was raised on a large cattle ranch in the San Joaquin Valley in California. She has been riding horses since she was two years old. At a young age, she realized she loved jumping and began lessons at Flintridge Riding School in California. She competed in hunter-jumper events through high school. During college at UC-Davis she took a brief break from competitive riding. In 1978, Lorraine came to Sun Valley to live and ended up as a wrangler on the Sun Valley dude string for three years with her boss, Ron, who she married two years later. They built the Weyyakin stables in 1981 and managed that until 1987. During that time Lorraine rode and trained with Bob and Debbie McDonald. Eventually, they bought a piece of land and developed the Lucky 13 facility. Despite all the blood, sweat and tears, Lorraine says it’s all been worth it — she’s having a good ride! Lorraine offers her clients boarding, training, lessons and horse shows. She enjoys teaching children on her marvelous school horses. Her most memorable accomplishment in the horse business is taking her student Jessie Woodyard and her family to the prestigious Canadian horse show, Spruce Meadows, and having Jesse perform well there in jumper classes. Lorraine’s passion recently has switched from riding to raising quality sport horses. She says she gets valuable assistance from Sawtooth Equine Service and her farrier, J2 Brown. Her favorite horses are her broodmares and babies. Lorraine has a lot of wisdom and knowledge, having been

involved in the horse business for 31 years. Business name? Lucky 13 Ranch. Where do you train? Lucky 13 Ranch, Hailey, Idaho. Current home? Lucky 13 and our house “on campus.” How many horses do you own? 16—some babies, school horses and mares—but don’t tell Ron! They are all plain brown… Horses for sale? YES! Favorite TV show? Spruce Meadows, TV sports, NCIS, Damages, CSI, Grey’s Anatomy, etc. Family? Gifford, age 28, one older sister and brother, my barn family. My parents are gone (but not forgotten!). What kind of music do you like? Soft rock & roll, XM’s “The Bridge” and “Classic Vinyl” Do you have pets? 3 black Labs, 3 cats. Favorite food? Beef, avocados, cheese, red wine, and really most everything! Books you are reading? Janet Evanovich, Robert Parker, Catherine Coulter. I also love audio books when I drive! Hobbies? Bird hunting, cooking, traveling in the 5th-wheel, photography. Most embarrassing moment? Getting bucked off a mounting block! It flipped and I went straight back. Hurt like hell! I also ran into the back tire of a car while texting and trying to ride my bike. Oops… Today you are…? Making sure Lucky 13 is up to the expectations of Ron, myself, Diego, and the boarders. We like to keep the place clean. What would you do if you were not a horse trainer? I would raise black Labs. “I’m looking toward the future, where we can travel more and get away from the barn. Somewhere warmer for two or three months in the winter. I love my life, but everyone needs tws a break now and then!”

Committed to individualized care with honor, respect and integrity.

The Met: HD Live will offer a look at Verdi’s thrilling early drama of “Ernani” on Saturday. The presentation will run from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Bigwood4 Cinemas in Hailey.

Not two but three entitled men try to claim the beautiful young Elvira: her uncle and guardian, Don Ruy Gómez de Silva, an old Span-

spread over the mountain. Once the base is built, the snowmakers change the formula to make a drier, skiable snow, refreshing each slope every couple of days with a silky coating of up to two inches of snow. “People call it gun powder skiing,” Harper says. Sun Valley pulls some of its water out of the Big Wood River and the rest from wells. It also buys $20,000 to $30,000 of water from the City of Sun Valley to make snow for Dollar Mountain. Sun Valley owner Earl Holding, who bought Sun Valley following the disastrous winter of 1976-77 when little snow fell, immediately made snowmaking one of his priorities, installing 38 miles of pipe beneath the slopes. Over the years, he’s improved the guns, adding taller guns that allow the water mist to hang in the air longer, thereby producing better snow. This year Sun Valley is trying out some new energy-efficient snow guns that use a tenth of the energy of the older guns. Not only is Sun Valley’s $16 million snowmaking system the largest in North America, but it provides some of the best manmade snow, thanks to the automation and types of guns it uses. Harper attended a snowmaking convention held at Northstar-at-Tahoe last month where the resort was open only because of its manmade snow. “Their system is not auto-

mated and you could tell they weren’t refreshing the snow because it was hard. Their best skiing was the same as our worst,” Harper recalls. Sun Valley’s $1.5 million computer system checks temperature and humidity at 110 weather stations installed along the snow gun lines, adjusting the snow that’s put out according to the temperatures and wind. It pumps more water out as the temperature dips. While the snow guns will run at 30 degrees, it has to be 16 degrees or cooler to hit capacity. It takes two minutes for the system to survey the situation to determine how many guns can run and boot up, according to the priorities that the snowmaking crew has identified. When staff made the adjustments manually, weather conditions often changed by the time they went to the next gun, Harper says. “We’re experimenting this year to see how long the snow can sit and remain silky,” he adds. Sun Valley accrues about $10,000 to $15,000 a day in electrical bills when it is making snow, Harper says.

But Sun Valley officials don’t regret one cent of that electric bill, when they consider what might have been. “We might have had one or two runs open at most—probably College and Flying Squirrel, like the old days,” says Jack Sibbach, the resort’s marketing director. “Our numbers have been steady all winter—Christmas was good. We haven’t had a single complaint on the condition of the snow, either, because these guys have put out such a fabulous product.”

by the numbers:

Baldy’s snowmaking system covers 600 acres of the 2,054 permitted acres. Baldy has 555 automatic snow guns and 30-plus manual guns that the snowmaking crew drags to cat tracks with snowmobiles and hook up to fire hoses. Throw in Dollar Mountain’s guns and the resort has 620 guns, Harper says. They could add more if a proposal to add snowmaking on the Elkhorn side of Dollar Mountain goes through. Each gun can spew out five to six gallons a minute at higher temperatures and 16 gallons a minute at lower temperatures. About 16 percent of it evaporates. The rest of the manmade snow eventually ends up back in the aquifer. Sun Valley has 28 pumps and 13 compressors. It takes 17,000 horsepower to run it all at once. Sun Valley can pump 2,000 gallons a minute on the River Run side of the mountain and 1,200 gallons a minute on the Warm Springs side. Dollar Mountain has one pump with a capacity of 600 gallons a minute. It has 72 compressors and 72 guns—all manually operated. The operation is more energy-efficient than Baldy’s but much more labor extensive of its 12-man crew. Sun Valley has to rebuild its snowmaking parts every 10 years. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, For my son's birthday I bought him a parakeet from the pet store. The first few weeks, the bird was singing and whistling throughout the day. Then I noticed the bird began to seem lonely so I bought a second parakeet to keep it company. Those two birds got along great, too good in fact. Before I knew it, we had four eggs that quickly turned into four baby birds. That's too many birds for this household. So while reading your column, before I lined the birdcage (sorry about that), I was inspired to place an ad to give them away. So far everyone who has called wants to know if the birds are male or female. To be honest, I have no idea. I couldn't even tell you which one was the Mom. Can you help me figure this out so I can give them away? I promise I won't use the classifieds to line the birdcage anymore.

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Cash: That seems like a fair

trade. Although it's great to see the classifieds have so many uses! At least the birds have some quality reading material as well. Carry: It can be difficult to determine the gender for many

Fast Facts For the Birds

breeds of birds. There are people who get a pet bird and quickly name is something like Johnny. Then, they're really surprised when 'Johnny' lays eggs! Cash: For many birds there are no observable differences between genders, and behavior is rarely a good indicator. For some breeds, a trip to your veterinarian is the only way to find out. Carry: Lucky for you, parakeets have physical characteristics that can sometimes help identify their gender, at least in the adult birds. Parakeets have a cere or small bump above their beak that contains the nostrils. In a mature male, the cere is typically bright blue. In

a female, the cere is pink or reddish brown. Cash: However on baby birds, like the ones you'd like to give away, the ceres will appear pale blue. The color doesn't change until maturity, which can take up to a year or so. That's probably far longer than you'd like to keep the birds. Carry: Unless someone is pairing up the birds for company or breeding, the gender is rarely important. Since many people are simply looking for a pet, you're sure to find the birds a good home very soon. In the meantime, at least they'll enjoy our column at the bottom of their cage.

When most people consider getting a pet, they think of a cute little puppy or kitten. While these are the two most popular pets found in 70 million households, they are not for everyone. That's why birds rank third in pet ownership. Nearly 6.5 million households own a pet bird according to the American Pet Products Association, some 16 million birds in all. That's more birds than there are feathers on Sesame Street's Big Bird, which is a mere 4000 feathers.

Quacked

If you have several pet birds that lay eggs, you know how quickly the population can expand. However, removing and destroying the eggs may not be the best solution. Many bird species will simply re-lay their eggs. Instead, try the technique used by the Department of Agriculture to control bird wildlife population. After your birds lay their eggs, coat them with vegetable oil. The oil prevents the eggs from hatching by not allowing air through the pores. Another effective option is called egg addling, which involves shaking the egg to prevent hatching and returning it to the nest.

Reader Humor Name Game

I always wanted a pet parakeet with a great name. When I saw one advertised "free to good home", I seized the opportunity. When I visited the owner, he introduced me to the parakeet, Charles. I was immediately disappointed with the name and thought I'd have to come up with a new one. That was until he explained, "If you'd like, you can also use his nickname." As he placed Charles on my shoulder, he continued, "Then you can tell people you have a 'Chip' on your shoulder!" (Thanks to Danny K.)
