Wynona to Play Benefit BY KAREN BOSSICK

ountry music singer Wynona Judd will headline this summer’s benefit concert for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. The five-time Grammy Award winner and her band The Big Noise will perform Aug. 8 at the Sun Valley Symphony Pavilion. The concert will benefit the free summer concerts and the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music. Tickets are $50, $100, $250 and $500 and on sale now. To purchase go to svsummersymphony.org or call 208-622-5607. Rolling Stone has called Judd “The greatest country singer since Patsy Cline.” Born Christina Claire Ciminella, the red head rose to fame in the 1980s as part of the mother-daughter duo The Judds. The Judds recorded 14 No. 1 hits, including “Why Not Me,” “Love Can Build a Bridge,” “Rockin’ with the Rhythm,” “Have Mercy,” “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good ol’ Days,” “Mama He’s Crazy” and “Daddy’s Hands.” Wynona went solo in 1991 after her mother Naomi dropped out of the duo due to a chronic bout of hepatitis C. She didn’t miss a beat as she continued to rack up hits with such No. 1 songs as “I Saw the Light,” “To Be Loved By You,” “She is His Only Need” and “No One Else on Earth.” She will perform on TV’s “Dancing with the Stars” on March 18. The Sun Valley Summer Symphony is the largest privately funded freeadmission orchestra in America. Its 29th annual summer concert series will run July 28 through Aug. 20 at the outdoor Sun Valley Symphony Pavilion. The symphony’s 115 musicians— lured from such world-class orchestras as the New York Philharmonic—will perform Debussy’s poetic “La Mer,” Stravinsky’s once-controversial “The Rite of Spring” and a pops concert titled “Bond and Beyond” as a tribute to the music of James Bond. This year’s guest artists include violin virtuosos Midori, who will headline the free opening night concert on Sunday, Aug. 4. Others include rising star pianist Joyce Yang and soprano Debbie Gravitte, who will sing such numbers as “Goldfinger” for the Aug. 10 Bond tribute. tws

ames Tooley presented his Community School senior project on the stage of the Sun Valley Opera House in 1990. On Friday he’ll be back on that same stage presenting his documentary, “Starring Adam West,” as part of the second Sun Valley Film Festival. Tooley will be there to introduce the film about the farm boy from Walla Walla, Wash., which starts at 5:30 p.m. The 100-minute film explores the quest to see the man everyone knows best as Batman get a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. “I had no intention of making a film about my father-in-law, but the more time I spent with him, the more I wanted to document.” said Tooley, who met West’s youngest daughter Nina at The Community School in the 1980s, marrying her in 2005 in a Sun Valley wedding. “Most people know that Adam was incredibly successful in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s with his iconic portrayal of Batman on the ABC series. Fewer people know about his subsequent struggle to break free from that role. He’s a man who has had incredible highs and lows both professionally and personally. His story is a fascinating tale of a Hollywood survivor but it ‘s also much deeper than that,” Tooley added. Tooley started filming West, who

moved to Sun Valley with his wife Marcelle and their six children in 1986, at autograph shows, charity events, even around the dinner table. As the filming continued, the movement to get West a star expanded from family to fans. “What began as a fun side project turned into a four-year passion as Adam’s fans, friends and family decided this was going to be the way to show Adam how much he has meant to them,” Tooley said. Tooley, son of Bill and Reva Tooley— founder of the Sun Valley Writer’s Conference, studied theater at the University of California at Santa Barbara before getting his MBA from UCLA. He began his career as an editor working on narrative and documentary films. He now has a production company called Chromatic Films that produces and directs commercials for clients like Subaru and non-fiction television in Los Angeles. He has won a Silver Telly Award for best-online reality series and his Rift commercials were named as the top 10 campaign of 2012 by Massively.com He can’t wait to see the reaction to the movie about his 84-year-old father-in-law, who most recently has had roles in “The

Green Olympics D WRHS Drama Dept. Shows ‘Snoopy’ through Sunday Page 6

id you ever carpool to work and bring along your own lunch and beverages in reusable containers only to have someone chastise you for not being a vegan also? If a little “never enough” has turned you away from green living, listen up; be it large or small, every step towards being green counts. Did you recycle your newspaper? Bully for you! Did you avoid idling the car while you waited to pick up the kids? We say, “Congrats!” People who look down their noses at you for not doing enough are plain ol’ garden variety snobs, according to a fun new blog by Jeffrey Davis called “EcoSnobbery Sucks”. Certainly there are meritorious local folks who are the green equivalent of Boulder Mountain Tour first place finishers, but the majority of us have made

progress too. We’re recycling most things, using CFL bulbs in appropriate places (and recycling the dead ones), unplugging our vampire-like power-eating phone chargers when not in use, purchasing less highly packaged goods and more organic veggies, turning down the thermostat, and in short, trying hard to be good and green, and to get better at it all the time. The last thing anyone wants is someone harping that we don’t do as much as they do. So, here’s my plea: be inclusive, not exclusive. Show me your good works but ease up on the inadequacy cues. I might make the Green Olympics yet! Want to learn more about ERC’s upcoming Green Living Initiative? Contact us at 208726-4333 or reduce@ercsv.org.

laine County wants to remind you of some changes to your local recycling program. As of October 1, 2012, we switched to a 3-bin system for curbside service. Just put your plastic (#1-#5 only), mixed paper (newspaper, magazines, junk mail, cereal boxes, paper, and phone books), and aluminum steel/tin in 3 separate bins and out on your curb on garbage collection day. It’s important to sort these items to avoid contamination, because this could result in the materials needing to go the landfill instead of the recycle center. In addition, glass and cardboard are accepted free of charge at 7 different drop off locations throughout the County. Even more good news. Bins used for curbside service can be anything from cardboard boxes to wire baskets to buckets and totes as long as it’s sorted and easy for the driver to manage. And if you live in the City of Hailey, recycling is included in your regular garbage service, plus your hauler will provide recycling bins free of charge. For those in Carey, Bellevue, Ketchum, Sun Valley, and the County, contact your hauler for specific price information for recycling pick up. For drop off locations, details about just what qualifies as plastic #1-#5 or mixed paper, and general information, check out www.5brecycles.org tws

Zenergy was recognized as having the “Nicest Scenery” and that scenery was pictured with the help of an instructor doing a Pilates lesson with Sun Valley’s snow-capped mountains in the background. “Shape” has a print circulation of 1.6 million. “If you’re having trouble breathing during a workout at this pristine property, the view may be to blame,” the article said. “The club’s Pilates and yoga studios and the outdoor saltwater lap pool overlook nearby Bald Mountain.” In the summer and fall, group cycling classes, boot camp and

Other clubs making the top 10 included Bellevue Club at Hotel Bellevue in Seattle, Downsize Fitness in Chicago and Dallas, East Bank Club in Chicago, Shine Alternative Fitness in Las Vegas, Bunker in Beverly Hills…even the University of Missouri Student Recreation Complex in Columbia, Mo. Clubs were lauded for variety, accepting only clients who have 50 pounds or more to lose, membership dues of just $15 a month, having classes in aerial arts and antigravity yoga, having more than 130 trampolines on site and such perks as being able to get your shoes repaired, laundry done and car washed while working out. tws

Sawtooth NRA Campgrounds Open for Steelhead Fishing Season The Sawtooth National Recreation Area is opening campgrounds along the Salmon River in response to demand created by steelhead fishing season. Salmon River, Mormon Bend and Whiskey Flats Campgrounds are located downriver from Stanley in close proximity to popular fishing areas and are now available to the public. Holman Creek Campground, also downriver, will be opened once snow has melted and it dries out. Sawtooth NRA Deputy Area Ranger Barbara Garcia stressed the need for anglers to use the campgrounds rather than camping along the Highway 75

for safety reasons. The campgrounds will be free of charge until mid-May. Outhouses are open, but all garbage must be packed out to centrally located dumpsters at Sunbeam Dam 13 miles north of Stanley on Highway 75 and the Scenic Byways Rest Area located just south of Stanley on Highway 75. Road construction along the “narrows” section of Highway 75 will start back up in April, depending on weather conditions. Travelers can expect delays.

WRHS Drama Department Presents Musical Snoopy STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

orld War I Flying Ace and Novelist, as in “It was a dark and stormy night…” Joe Cool. Flashbeagle. Inventor of the Suppertime Dance…. Now, Snoopy—the world’s best-known canine—is moving his little red doghouse to the stage of the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre. The Wood River High School Drama Department will perform “Snoopy! The Musical” tonight through Saturday. The show opens at 7 p.m. tonight through Friday and concludes with a 1 p.m. matinee Saturday. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for high school students, $3 for Middle School students and $1 for children under 12, available at the door of the Performing Arts Theatre. The play, told primarily from Snoopy’s point of view, follows on the heels of the Company of Fools’ production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Director Karl Nordstrom said he chose it as a sequel to the Fools’ production. The Fools leant the high school kids costumes, props and sets. “The songs have more of a Broadway feel than the other one. The original play had only seven characters so I added a number of well-known ‘Peanuts’ characters, including Pig Pen, Schroeder, Violet, Frieda and Marcie,” Nordstrom added. The play offers insights into the thoughts of five-year-olds and their friend with his long puppy dog ears through a series of vignettes, songs and dances. Musical numbers include “The Big Bow Wow,” “Don’t be Anything Less (Than Everything You Can Be),” “Where Did That Little Dog Go?” and “Daisy Hill.” Ruby Payette says she enjoys playing the world’s most confident beagle. “I’ve only played animal characters once before in my life. It’s frustrating, though, because they won’t let me in the school just because I’m a beagle.” “The characters are so much fun. I love bringing the cartoon to life,” added Caroline Scarbrough, who plays Charlie Brown’s sister Sally. “I like how the characters are children but they talk like adults.” The play features Ruby Payette as Snoopy, Drake Arial as Charlie Brown, Caroline Scarbrough as Sally Brown, Katie Walton as Peppermint Patty,

Hailey Elementary School Wins Contest Hailey Elementary School students received the Recycle-Bowl Award for recycling the most per student in the state of Idaho. With the support of HES staff, the kids added plastic milk jugs to the items recycled this year as

tephen Pfeiffer, Wood River High School junior, lives on Easy Street, literally. He lives in the same house that he grew up in. It just so happens to be on Easy Street in Hidden Hollow. Carrying a 4.1 GPA he originally attended Hemingway Elementary School and then Wood River Middle School. “I’ve loved growing up here,” he said. “But I didn’t realize how lucky I was until later in life. I really grew to appreciate nature and all the outdoor activities that the area offers – especially Nordic skiing. We are offered so much to do in the outdoors that it is incredible. I also love the energy of a resort town and all the excitement surrounding skiing. I guess the only down side is not experienced the diversity of the outside world but you learn to compensate.” His favorite way to compensate is to strap on some cross country skis and hit the myriad of trails that this valley has to offer. “I started at a real young age with my parents and my earliest memories are of being really tired and not enjoying it at all. I joined the Sun Valley Ski

Team in fifth grade and I haven’t looked back since. I also gained some technique and skiing with your friends is a lot more fun. When it comes to skiing I probably prefer skate skiing to classic style because it’s faster which makes it a little more fun.” There are about 30 students on the team and anyone can participate. “We compete in about six races a year but if you go to the nationals you can race as many as 20 times.” His freshman year he made the nationals for the Junior National Team and his sophomore year he was first alternate. Locally his favorite trail is Psycho and the other trails up at Galena. He is also on the soccer and tennis teams. “I guess it’s a tie between soccer and cross country as to what’s my favorite. I love soccer and have been playing since first grade. But even though it’s great being a part of a team I think I prefer individual sports because you get to set goals and do your own thing. All the successes and failures are your own.” Stephen excels academically at Wood River High School. He is also a member of the National

Honors Society where you have to maintain a 3.5 GPA and do community service inside and outside of school. Some of the activities he has participated in are the Hemingway Holiday Bazaar and the Pancake Breakfast. “Being a member of the N.H.S. makes me feel really proud and I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community. I also really like Wood River. The teachers are great and it’s a really well built, new facility.” He is taking four A.P. classes – U.S. History, Composition and Language, Literature and Government. “My favorite class so far is Literature where we get to read a lot of great books and write essays on them. My favorites so far have been Great Expectations by Charles Dickens as well as Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and Beloved by Toni Morrison”. For this outstanding student great expectations is no problem. tws

Bob Wiedderick Passes Thousand Mark With Aluminum Can Collections BY KAREN BOSSICK

o you know whose face is on a $1,000 bill? You would have found out if you’d been present at Hailey welder Bob Wiederrick’s presentation of a three-foot-long $1,000 bill to the Hailey Arts Commission this past week. Wiederrick presented the facsimile of the bill with Grover Cleveland’s face on it--downloaded and blown up—to represent the money he’s made from recycling aluminum cans donated by folks from throughout the valley. Wiederrick started saving cans to raise money for public art in November 2011. The collection has accelerated as more people have learned about it. “At first, it took three to four months for me to save up enough to take them to Twin Falls. Now it seems that I’m turning in a bin full of cans every two months,” he said. “A lot of blue collar guys—carpenters, even those who would not normally support the arts--are happy to donate their beer cans.” Public art doesn’t come cheap, Wiederrick said.

people to Hailey cost $10,000. The benefits of recycling aluminum go beyond public art, Wiederrick added. “Aluminum recycles well and recycling saves electricity from the mining of bauxite,” he said. “I’d encourage people to know the benefits of buying beverages in aluminum cans, especially since glass bottles are not being

recycled. It’s more fuel-efficient to transport beverages in aluminum since the cans weigh less than a half-ounce versus the seven or so ounces a glass bottle weighs.” Cans may be deposited in a bin outside Wiederrick’s welding studio at 4015 Glenbrook Drive on Hailey’s south end. tws

Inspiring Creativity STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

hances are you’ve never heard of Nancy Napier. But you’ll want to raise your Kellen Moore bobblehead doll in her honor if you’ve enjoyed the success that the Boise State University football team has had in past years. Napier, executive director of the Centre for Creativity and Innovation at Boise State University, has played at least a small role in the Broncos’ success. She works with Coach Pete and others, including the Ada County Sheriff and the leaders of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and Trey McIntyre Project; in a group she calls “The Gang.” The innovation brainstorming group also includes representatives from White Cloud Analytics, Healthwise, Microsoft Boise and Drake Cooper. Napier shared some of the successes of those she works with last Wednesday at the annual Winter Education Forum of the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation at the Valley Club. • Ada County Sheriff Gary Raney recognized that families of inmates often had to travel many miles from home to jail, process through security and then endure long waiting lines before they could visit with their loved ones. So he came up with a video visitation system using Skype that allows family members to visit with inmates from the comfort of their homes anywhere in the world. The idea has revolutionized day-to-day operations, serving as a model for other jails. It has streamlined costs. It decreases recidivism because inmates can build stronger connections with family and friends on the outside. Children no longer become desensitized to the jail environment, putting them at risk for becoming incarcerated in the future. And cameras are tilted so that children don’t see orange suits and bars. • Zoo Boise has become the talk of the zoo world for its innovative way of raising money for projects concerning threatened and endangered wild animals worldwide. Officials raised admission prices by 50 cents, directing that admission increase to projects like research on wolverines in Idaho. Visitors are given a token so they can vote on the conservation project they want the money to go to. The result: Zoo Boise gets only 325,000 visitors each year—a

modest number compared with larger city zoos like St. Louis, which has 3 million visitors a year. But it gives $110,000 or 12 percent of its operating budget to finance conservation projects compared with the 1 percent to 2 percent other zoos typically give. • The Trey McIntyre Project turned heads in the dancing community by moving from San Francisco to the much smaller city of Boise. Then its leaders told dancers: You’re not here just to dance. You have to be part of this community. The dancers introduced themselves to the community by surprising people on the streets with episodes of spontaneous urban dancing. And today dancers can’t have become recognizable stars in the community. • Even structure—something as simple as what you choose to put on every day when you roll out of bed—can lend itself to creativity, Napier said. Albert Einstein wore the same type of clothes every day and walked the same route because he could focus on more important questions if he had fewer choices to make about the mundane aspects of life. Similarly, BSU Coach Chris Peterson wears a uniform of khaki trousers and a shirt with his team logo every day. Asked why, he said that having that structure frees him to devote his attention to other things, such as the Broncos’ unconventional formations and trick plays that helped them win the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. “The people I work with are desperately fearful of becoming complacent, of always doing things the same way no matter how successful they are because they know if they stop innovating, others will catch up and maybe pass them,” Napier said. “They want to out think, out innovate everyone in their field. Do things differently to get better and grow.”

elebrity watchers in town for Sun Valley’s Film Festival will get a voyeur-like opportunity to see iconic images of such artists as Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Margot Hemingway, Mick Jagger and Basquiat a local Ketchum gallery. The art will be on display during Friday’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Gallery DeNovo located at 320 First Ave. N. The images were shot by Anton Perich, a Croatian native who established the first underground film program in Paris in the 1960s. He shot the images at Max’s Kansas City, a night club for the fringe community in New York City where he found the freedom of expression so intoxicating that he never left. The images themselves were unusual for the time in that they were candid photos rather than portrait sittings. Many highlighted the risqué behavior of transvestites and celebrities. In 1977 Perich developed a pre-cursor to the ink-jet printer that allowed him to create powerful large-scale striated machine paints with the photos. “These images were considered daring and epic when he first exhibited them. He created drama within the piece with color and pattern,” said Gallery DeNovo Owner Robin Reiners, who said Perich would have been present for the Gallery Walk had he not been committed an other project in Europe. “We’ll have some of his work, which offers a seminal insight into the nightlife of Studio 54, The Factory and Max’s Kansas City in the 1970s and ‘80s. And we’ll have three short films for people to watch,” she added. The Gallery DeNovo exhibit is one of several amazing exhibitions that will be offered during this month’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday. Friesen Gallery, located in the same building as Gallery DeNovo, is showing an exhibition of sculptures by premier glassblower William Morris, including works that have never been seen before. Among them: medicine jars that look like pottery or bronze but are really glass-blown. Morris, a master at disguising glass to look like something else, has designed one medicine jar to look like a bamboo stalk with a grasshopper on top “He creates things that he would love to find in nature,” said the Gallery’s spokeswoman Donna Pritchard. Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Road, is showing some amazing wood burnt pictures of Tennessee artist Richard Painter. Painter covers the picture part of the wood canvas with flame retardant and torches the background, leaving it blackened. He then takes a smaller torch to burn in the image of violins, bicycles and other objects. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said the gallery’s Casey Hanrahan. Gail Severn Gallery, 400

Hip Thrusts for Hunger II, a Great Success Those looking for a good reason to workout found one this past month at REV Gym. Angela Freeman, owner of REV Gym in Ketchum, hosted her second “Hip Thrusts for Hunger” to raise funds to help stock the empty shelves of The Hunger Coalition during the Hunger Season. Angela and her husband Rob held their first Hip Thrusts for Hunger challenge in December and raised $1695. Their goal this time: to raise $5,000 by doing 60 minutes of hip thrusts. Freeman’s ability to inspire people doesn’t just focus on getting them in shape or joining a workout group. She named February the month to “play it deep” at her gym, asking everyone to commit to and tackle their personal goals as well as going big on giving in the community. She challenged her members, saying “Skip a dinner out or refrain from buying that new sweater or whatever it might be that would be as uncomfortable to you as not being able to eat dinner tonight, or worse,

not being able to feed your kids dinner tonight. Let’s join together and say ‘Not on our watch.’ Everyone eats because we are stepping it up and playing it deep. ” Nine women rose to the challenge and spent their Saturday morning doing a combined 8,232 hip thrusts. After 60 minutes of this , not only had they reached their goal, but with the pledges and donations they received from their supporters, they surpassed their goal, raising $8,000.

his past month was a whirlwind of chess tournaments ranging from fastpaced blitz games to very long six-hour games in formal and casual venues. A local “England versus France” tournament in February was sponsored by the Wood River High School (WRHS) Chess Club, attracted Idaho Chess Association President Jeff Roland and other top-notch players to try their hand at playing an English opening against the French Defense. Theme tournaments such as these allow players to be exposed to alternate openings and expand their repertoire of chess skills. Jeff Roland (of Boise) won that tournament with a perfect 5.0 score against a field of eighteen players aged 8 to 50. The WRHS Chess Club traveled to the College of Idaho to play engineer and mathematics majors in an informal tournament organized by WRHS graduate, Kitt Connor. The club also participated in two Blitz tournaments with the Magic Valley Chess Club located in Twin Falls. Adam Porth of Bellevue and Gary Dugger of Twin Falls won each event, respectively. The WRHS Chess Team also competed in the Idaho Chess Association’s Scholastic Novice Tournament in February, where beginners could begin learning the do’s-and-don’ts of tournament play. The WRHS team successfully won the tournament and ended a two-year drought for the club for first place team trophies. Wesley Brimstein won 1st place, Megan Jones 2nd place, Andre Murphy 3rd place, and Keegan Crowson 4th place. Darwin Porth also won a medal for 4th place in the elementary section. Meanwhile, Dylan Porth competed for the Girl’s Championship title in the Girl’s State Championship held simultane-

ously at the same venue. Dylan won 2nd place 7th grader in a field that included 7th - 12th graders. The Idaho Closed Championship is the premiere tournament in the state and all ages compete against one another. Whether you are eight years old or eighty, competitors faced off to earn the 75th annual State Champion title and other class titles. Twenty-one of the top players in the state of Idaho gathered at the Shiloh Inn in Twin Falls to vie for the coveted title. After three days of play, Larry Parsons of Boise won for the eighteenth time! The tournament also drew a record number of players under the age of 25 years - eleven youths against ten seasoned souls. WHRS Chess Clubbers, Desmond Porth won the Class E champion title and Adam Porth won 2nd place in Class D. The Idaho Chess Association relies on youths to carry the chess torches into the future and they proved to be performing their duties well with numerous upsets and surprises. The annual business meeting elected Jeff Roland of Boise President, Adam Porth of Bellevue Vice President, and Patrick Abernathy of Boise Secretary/Treasurer. Special awards were also presented to Jeff Roland and Adam Porth for their dedication to the organization and their sponsorship of chess in the state. This past Saturday, the fifth annual Spring Warm Up tournament encouraged twenty local children to play friendly matches against one another. The tournament ended up lumping Kindergarten thru 5th grades and 6th thru 12th graders, though the players were competing in K-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12 sections. The elementary section was dominated by two 2nd graders, Luke Baker and Darwin Porth. With no third or fourth graders present, they won 2nd place and 3rd place overall. Zane Barckholtz

(5th grade Hailey Elementary) won 1st place with a perfect 6.0 points. Most tournaments are 5 rounds, but there was extra time to squeeze in a 6th round. Also with a perfect score, Desmond Porth won 1st place in the high school section. Second and third place went to Andre Murphy and sister Anna Murphy - their first tournament trophies. Dylan Porth and Noah Sorenson won 1st and 2nd place, respectively in the middle school section. Also, winning second and third place trophies were Sarah Hattula and Alex Baker in the 4-5th grade section. Tyler Avila scored a chess board signed by GM Alex Yermolinsky and FIDE Master Nic Raptis in a door prize drawing. What makes this unique is that he has won a raffle drawing in every tournament for the past year! Chess tournaments provide competitors with rich experiences and organizer Adam Porth says that it enhances confidence and independence. This Saturday, all scholastic chess players (K-12) are invited to play in the ICA’s State Scholastic Chess Championship held in Boise on March 16 at the Vineyard. There are sixteen students from the area looking to compete and they are raising money for travel costs through Krispy Kreme donut sales. To support the club, sponsor a student, or donate, contact Adam Porth, 578-5020 ext. 2239 to help. Two club members will travel to Nashville, Tennessee to play in Super Nationals with the hopes to win scholarships to college - they need help as well. WRHS Chess Club is open to all ages and meets afterschool on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Wood River High School. Chess exercises critical areas in the brain and contributes to healthy brain function and cognition. Play more chess! tws

The Boys Are Back BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7 FM

t’s nearly St. Patrick’s Day, and anyone knows that you can’t have a St. Patrick’s party without Irish music, and there’s no better party music than Dropkick Murphys. Their new album Signed And Sealed In Blood is a collection of rambunctious sing-along Celtic punk anthems that anyone with a drop of Irish in them would appreciate. Signed And Sealed In Blood kicks off with “The Boys Are Back”, a song that starts off with an acoustic riff accompanied by the Murphys trademark chant that quickly turns into an amalgamation of three-chord punk rock, bagpipes and shout-along lyrics. “Rose Tattoo” takes a more traditional turn, but still has Dropkick Murphys’ sound stamped all over it. The Murphys have ma-

tured over the years since their formation; there are a couple mid-tempo traditional songs, but they nevertheless revel in the spirit of drink, fraternity and celebration of life. There’s even a drinking ballad, “End Of The Night”, which, as you can guess, is about what happens when the bars close. Not since the heyday of The Pogues has any band so successfully morphed the traditional sound of Irish music into something other than what it was intended -- for the bards to tell stories of heroes, monsters and libation (not necessarily in that order). There are many contenders to the throne, but Dropkick Murphys have reigned supreme since The Pogues went into semi-retirement, and they wear their crowns on their heads proudly knowing it’ll take the mighty Cuchulainn himself to knock them off. tws

WRHS Choirs Present Major Works This Week Three choral groups from Wood River High School, Spiritus, Carmina Montis, and Morning Blend, will present two concerts at 7 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, March 18 and 19, at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater in the Community Campus. The concert, conducted by instructor Max Stimac, will feature major works from the classical repertoire, and be presented in its entirety on both nights. Spiritus, WRHS’s mixed choir, will include the performance of

Howard Hanson’s Song of Democracy, composed in 1957 to poetry by Walt Whitman for choir and orchestra, the orchestral part arranged for piano-four-hands by Jim Watkinson. Carmina Montis, the school’s large women’s choir, will perform selections from Carl Orff’s popular Carmina Burana, arranged for them by Jim Watkinson. Morning Blend is the newest WRHS performing group, a mixture of the women’s group Colla Voce and the men’s group The B-

Steelhead

eports are in that the ice has broken down river and Idaho’s Salmon River Steelhead are continuing on their way back up river. The Salmon River is unique in that it holds the title of being the longest steelhead run in the world. These fish, which are technically rainbow trout that have inherited the lifestyle of an ocean run salmon, have earned the reverence as one of the top endurance athletes in the fish world. These fish start their run up the Columbia River in the late summer and fall at which time they stop consuming food. They do still bite on food like items, a trait that elevates their status amongst anglers. Some believe that when they swim from salt water into fresh water their esophagus swell shut. As they progress up the Columbia and Snake Rivers many of the Idaho bound fish will swim up side river tributaries for a spell. By the time the winter ice forms on the river the fish have hunkered down in the deep pools awaiting the warmth of spring before progressing up river to the spawning grounds. The majority of the run of fish overwinter downstream of the Town of Salmon. Exactly what steelhead bite seems to be a mix of imitations of natural food sources in that river and abstract curiosity. For fly–tyers these traits open up the creative options and inspire an interesting array of possibilities. For those who are interested in learning to tie flies for steelhead, Guides for Sturtevants are offering free fly-tying classes on Saturdays at 1:00 and Thursday at 5:30 in the Hailey store. To sign up for the classes call Sturtevants Hailey store at 788-7847.

Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

hen I was a kid anything submarine related held my rapt attention. Whether it was a book, movie or building a model I was in heaven. Was there anything better than watching movies like Run Silent and Run Deep on a rainy Saturday afternoon? Perhaps that is the source of the great disappointment with the mess of a new movie called Phantom. Written and directed by Todd Robinson the film is ostensibly based on a true story but if that is true itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally unbelievable. Instead we have a preposterous story, totally inane dialogue (thank heavens itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not delivered in bad Russian accents) terrible camera work and a pretty bad performance by the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad guy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Duchovny (what was his agent thinking or is he so hard up for work?). You know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bad guy and that Ed Harris is the good guy because they all but hit you over the head with a mallet to drive the point home. Poor Harris, one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great actors, is desperately forced to save this sorry state of affairs. On to the gripping plot. In 1968 a Soviet submarine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the K-129, carrying thermonuclear missiles, was sunk. Robinson has woven a tale that rogue KGB agents were on board that sub testing a new cloaking device called the Phantom. Their goal was to start a nuclear war by firing on the Americans in the hope that they would think it was the Chinese. Harris is the commander of the sub under siege from within the Party. Given to epileptic fits that he deals with by drinking copious amounts of Vodka, he is sailing the sub on its last mission after being commissioned by an officer who then blows his own head off - for no apparent reason that we can understand. Harris has a whopper of a back-story, which we are subjected to throughout the movie. This, like the rest of the film, tws makes no real sense.

Nie Proposes Member-Owned Air Service

In response to the increasing hassle, lack of reliability, and total time required to get to and from Sun Valley by air, a local homeowner and respected charter flight operator Norman H. Nie is proposing a solution for some members of the Wood River Valley community. With Hailey Friedman as the hub airport, a small fleet of Saab 340Bs will provide nonstop flights to and from Seattle, Denver, San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles (with regular hops to Palm Springs) for members of the Sun Valley Aviation Association (SVAA). To launch this service, individuals and businesses will have to become equity members and fly a minimum of two round trips per year. According to Nie, SVAA is not meant to compete with commercial airlines “whose service to Sun Valley all of us want to see increased.” SVAA will be a higher-end service, flying nonstop daily to and from each destination with low-density seating, full computer connections, and complementary food and beverages. Nor is SVAA meant to compete with those who have their own planes, share fractional ownership, or regularly use charter services. Nie describes

the target clientele as those who can afford premier golf memberships and frequently travel to high-end hotels and resorts or those local businesses that must get people cost effectively to and from destinations in hours, not days. This target community or those who work with them is invited to special briefings at 10 a.m. this Thursday and Friday, March 14 and 15. Sessions for members of real estate-related professions will be at the Nie residence at 201 Sage Willow Road in Elkhorn with coffee/pastries or noon lunch on March 14. Briefings for others who might be interested in corporate or individual memberships will be at 9 a.m. on Friday, March 15 at the Wood River YMCA with coffee/pastries and at 11:30 a.m., during early lunch, at the Atlantic Aviation terminal at the airport. The svaviationassociation.com website should go live this week, providing information and updates as more details are developed and potential membership feedback is received. RSVP for all briefings to Juli Miller at topcub2@earthlink.net

Leslie Thompson’s Favorite Way to Cook a Choke: Preheat oven to 425. Prep them as above, THEN, take loads of fresh minced garlic; pull the leaves back and sprinkle the garlic among the leaves. Then, add some Parmesan cheese in the leaves too (stuff down anything that’s left sticking up). Next lightly sprinkle them with a favorite herb mix (I usually make a thyme and sage blend that I mix myself) and S&P. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice and drizzle some olive oil over it all. Then wrap them up in a double layer of heavy tin foil making sure that they are totally sealed. Bake them in a 425 oven for an hour or 45 minutes for small ones.

All Profits Benefit Meal Programs.

One of Margot’s favorite Ways of Serving the Choke: When the choke is cooked, remove the interior including the fuzz and heart and fill it with 1/2 cup of frozen peas. Place a bit of butter on the peas and add some fresh mint, garlic or other seasoning. Microwave them in a covered microwave proof dish for about 1-½ minutes. The peas will be done. If your artichoke had been refrigerated, the micro waving time may take a bit longer. Garnish with fresh mint and serve with fresh mayo and a shamrock.

CELEBRATING RADIESSE

he other day I was in the Valley Market (Atkinsons’ store in Bellevue), and there I discovered their yummy display of Frost Kissed Artichokes at a very good price indeed. Even though they don’t look that pretty, they are usually better than the very green variety because you know that they were picked very recently and consequently aren’t very old. Mine actually were done in 25 minutes and were delicious. There are many different ways of cooking and serving this vegetable so I thought with this being a “green” celebratory time two artichoke recipes would be just perfect. One recipe is a favorite of Leslie Thompson, my gourmet chef editor, and the other is one of mine. I’ve also included a colorful dip recipe that you can enjoy. In any case, if you like artichokes, hurry and get some before it gets above freezing temps where they are cultivated.

Filtering Through Hundreds of Films BY KAREN BOSSICK

aura Mehlhaff has watched hundreds of films submitted from 22 countries around the world, including two from Iran, to select the 60 that will be shown at this year’s Sun Valley film Festival. And she and others have read through hundreds of screenplays to select three for Thursday’s inaugural Screenwriter’s Lab. The second Sun Valley Film Festival kicks off Thursday with showings of Will McCormack’s “Celeste and Jesse Forever” and Mariel Hemingway’s “Running from Crazy.” In between, it will feature a variety of dramas, documentaries and shorts, as well as coffee talks with actors and directors and late-night parties. “We have a million dominoes we hope we set up correctly,” said Mehlhaff, the festival’s programming director. “Now we just hope they fall in place. We want to be entertaining for people, even more than making a big grand statement.” “Running from Crazy,” which will be shown at 5:10 p.m. Thursday at the Sun Valley Opera House, is one of several films with local connections. The film includes home movies taken at and near the family home in Ketchum, examines the actress’ efforts to employ holistic and other practices to keep her head above the mental illness that plagued her famous grandfather, two sisters and other family members. Hemingway, who grew up in Ketchum and still has a place here, will be present at the screening, as will award-winning director Barbara Kopple. The screening is sold out online. But tickets may be available on site 15 minutes before showtime, depending on how many pass holders show up, said Festival Publicist Carol Waller. Though only in its second year, USA Today recently recognized the Sun Valley Film Festival as one of “10 great places for a fabulous film festival.” The

article also recognized such festivals at the Miami International Film Festival, Shortfest in Palm Springs and Hamptons International Film Festival. “Though this celebrity-studded event takes place in a ski resort and has major sponsors, it’s still small and low-key. They definitely get some major stars…There’s money there and it’s set in a mountain town,” the article said. This year’s celebrities, include Will McCormack, who will host the inaugural Sun Valley Screenwriter’s Lab; “Californication” star Patrick Fischler, who is premiering his short, “The Test;” Dree Hemingway, who will star in “Starlet.” And Robert Redford might attend the premiere of his son’s film,” Watershed: Exploring a New Water Ethic for the New West,” said Deborah Knapp, executive director of the local Wild Gift program that is sponsoring the film. Jodie Foster, who has been coming to Sun Valley for years, has agreed to do a free Coffee Talk Sunday morning, in addition to presenting the Vision Award during the closing ceremonies Sunday evening. The festival, she said, pairs her two favorite things: skiing and movies: “Bringing them together in one spot? My idea of heaven.” The opportunity to interact with directors, screenwriters and actors is one of the beauties of the Sun Valley Film Festival, said Mehlhaff. “I’ve been to the Sundance Film Festival 10 times and it’s an amazing festival. But it’s very difficult to get involved with on a personal level because it’s so big and so crowded. You don’t get to interact with the filmmakers there, as you do here,” she added. One of the highlights, Mehlhaff said, will be the opportunity Friday afternoon to watch actors reading scripts, just as they do when being considered for films “It’s an amazing intimate experience that offers you a look at the process whether you’re interested in screenwriting or

not,” she said.

Some Highlights

Free Coffee Talks will be offered at 10 a.m. Friday through Sunday at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum.

Buhl Native Jaffe Zinn BY KAREN BOSSICK

uhl native Jaffe Zinn watched his film “Magic Valley” win a couple of major awards during last year’s inaugural debut of the Sun Valley Film Festival. He’s back for this year’s festival, which runs through Sunday. Zinn will show his film “Children,” about two young women who take a mysterious camping trip through southern Idaho. He filmed parts in Sun Valley, McCall, Fairfield and at the Balanced Rock. And he appears in a small part in his college buddy friend Benjamin Dickinson’s film “First Winter.” “First Winter,” which will be shown at 2:55 p.m. Friday, March 15, at the Magic Lantern Cinema, revolves around a group of Brooklynites holed up in a remote country farmhouse. They begin to turn against one another as their food supply dwindles during a winter of record-breaking cold. “It’s not a scripted film. It started with a general premise. It’s an experimental way of making films—something you don’t

see too much in American cinema but something that’s more common in European cinema. It was an interesting experience,” said Zinn, who now lives in New York. Zinn’s “Children,” which will be shown at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Magic Lantern, is a “work-in-progress” screening. That means that audience will be able to watch the latest draft from beginning to end and offer feedback that might change the finished version. Zinn will discuss his work in progress during a free coffee talk at 10 a.m. Saturday at nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. ”Showing it to the audience is an important part of the process because you can see the reaction,” he said. Zinn said he loved the chance to show “Magic Valley” to Idaho audience last year after showing it at festivals throughout the world. “The film gave other audiences a window into the lives of this small community, a lot of which was filmed around Buhl and Hagerman. But the people I showed it to here got what I was doing.” tws

See Genetic Roulette for Free BY KAREN BOSSICK

mericans love the lottery and other games of chance. But a new movie claims that those who play what they call genetic roulette may be putting their own health and that of their family’s at risk. The U.S. government ignored repeated warnings by its scientists in allowing untested genetically modified (GM) crops into the food supply, says “Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives.” After two decades the same health problems found in animals fed genetically modified foods are now on the rise in the U.S. population. That includes gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, infertility, even diabetes and autism, the film says. A consortium of groups is offering a free screening of Jeffrey Smith’s award-winning documentary at 12:30 p.m. Friday at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey as part of the Sun Valley Film Festival. The movie will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Smith, who works

for The Institute for Responsible Technology at 2 p.m. A reception will follow at 2:30 p.m. The free screening was made possible by the Sun Valley Film Festival, NourishMe, Idaho’s Bounty and Leslie Manookian. “The traditional diet was very healthy for thousands of years without meddling,” said Manookian. “We just want to educate people about GMOs.” Whole Foods announced this week they will require all products to carry a label by 2018 saying whether they contain genetically modified organisms. Many popular processed foods, including soymilk, soup and cereal are made with biotech crops whose genetic traits have been manipulated to make them resistant to insects and pesticides. The Food and Drug Administration is even close to approving genetically engineered salmon. The United States does not require safety testing for such ingredients. The food industry says they’re safe but critics say there’s not enough independent research to make that determination. tws

Fischler of ‘Mad Men’

BY KAREN BOSSICK

e’s best know as Jimmy Barrett on “Mad Men,” Dharma initiative worker Phil on “Lost” and Detective Kenny No-Gun on “Southland.” This weekend, Patrick Fischler wants to be known for a short drama called “the Test.” Fischler and his wife Lauren Bowles—the half-sister of Julia Louis-Dreyfus—wrote and starred in the 13-minute movie that will be screened as part of six short films at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the nexStage Theatre during the Sun Valley Film Festival. The film features a couple who are taking a pregnancy test but are actually going through much more. They never leave the bathroom for the entire length of the movie. “The idea came to me while driving. My wife and I have a 3year-old so we’ve been there with the pregnancy test, although we’re not like that couple at all. I will say, however, that our life changed forever, with the results of that test,” said Fischler. Fischler, who stars in the Jack Keouac-inspired film “Big Sur,” that premiered at the Sundance

Film Festival, said he tried the venture to stretch himself. “I’ve been acting professionally for 20 years now and when you act you come in, do your job, play the part and leave. I wanted to have more say over what I was doing, the people I was being surrounded with,” said Fischler, who has also appeared in “Mulholland Drive,” “Twister,” “Ghost World,” “Old School,” “Dinner for Schmucks” and “The Black Dahlia.” “We’ve been talking about doing our own thing and I love shorts—they are often an amazing way to tell a story in a short period of time. We had a theater company for many years and my wife had written scripts so we decided we could experiment with writing a script for a short and direct it without sinking a lot of money and time into it. It ended up being a pretty satisfying process-enough that we want to do more.” Just as with his short, Fischler says he is nothing like the characters he typically plays. “I usually play real jerks and that’s okay—I don’t want to play myself. But I would like people to know: I’m not that guy.” tws

Heart Rock Ranch Project to Be Shown BY KAREN BOSSICK

t was the largest stream restoration ever undertaken in Idaho. A virtual army of 60 excavators and other big machinery spent months working their way through the earth at the Crystal Creek and Spring Creek ranches near the junction of Highway 20 and Highway 75 south of Bellevue. But to Ketchum photographer Kendall Nelson, the work resembled watching a painter with a paintbrush as one excavator moved rocks into the river and another put cottonwood trees in place. Nelson and Hailey videographer John Plummer spent a year documenting the work on behalf of the owners Shirley and Harry Hagey. And they’ll show the result, “Heart Rock Ranch: A Conservation Story,” at 1:30 p.m. Friday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum as part of the Sun Valley Film Festival. The filmmakers will be present to field questions, as will the ranch’s owners and Laura Hubbard, western director of the Nature Conservancy. “So many people in the valley are curious as to what has been going on, so many have wanted a tour, that we thought it would be wonderful to show this film,” said Nelson. Ketchum Developer George

Kirk had planned to subdivide what used to be the Spring Creek and Diamond Dragon ranches but sold it to the Hageys after the economy crashed in 2008. The Hageys worked with The Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited, one of the nation’s top hydrologists and others to restore six miles of stream with oxbows and other features of benefit to wildlife. Today the property is again a special place for migratory wildlife. It boasts a heron rookery with 40 nests and bald eagles who built a nest bigger than Nelson’s car. The eagles’ dramatic story will be chronicled in the film.

“It’s a diamond in the rough,” said Nelson. tws

Florian Haemmerle Exhibit at Museum BY KAREN BOSSICK

e was an artist in lederhosen who colored everything under the “Florian blue” sky he marveled at on Sun Valley’s trademark sunny days. And he was a ski instructor who introduced guests to “extreme” skiing before it was a popular concept. Florian “Flokie” Haemmerle shaped and was shaped by Sun Valley. And, his legacy endures every time people point to a mountain that he named, chance upon a Tyrolean painting on the walls of homes and hotels around town or view or buy one of the many watercolors he painted and sold to such Sun Valley regulars as Gary Cooper, Ann Sothern, Tyrone Power and Darryl Zanuck. “None of these old-timers went home without a painting,” said Beatrice “Bebe” Haemmerle, Florian’s widow a few years before she died. “I remember Lucille Ball coming over to Florian’s studio with her mother while she was here getting a divorce. She said, ‘I don’t know why I’m looking at snow paintings. I don’t like snow. I like flowers.’ So Florian took out some paintings with flowers on them and she bought four.” Born twenty-four miles from the Austrian border in Bavaria, Germany, Haemmerle studied stenciling as an apprentice. He followed his brothers and sisters to this country on his 20th birthday in 1920, getting a job painting walk-up apartments in New York City. He won a ski race in Vermont and was immediately hired as a ski coach for Dartmouth. From there he went to Denver where he coached the early Denver

University ski team and then to Aspen where he built the first ski tow near an old mine shaft and taught the entire town to ski for room and board. He jumped at the chance to

come to Sun Valley when Averell Harriman asked him to complete Sun Valley’s cadre of Austrian ski instructors. “He said he had never seen such a world as when he came

out here,” recalled Bebe. “He had bought 15 lots in Aspen for $1,000 but he never wanted to live there. He liked what Sun Valley was doing—building a ski village and all. And, while he thought the Aspen skiing was good at the top, he thought it was crummy at the bottom.” That said, the Austrian ski instructors made life difficult for their token German instructor in pre-World War II days. When Haemmerle declared his intentions to quit, Sun Valley’s General Manager Pappy Rogers asked him to take over Sun Valley’s backcountry hut program, which included the Pioneer Cabin, a high-mountain hostel perched at 9,500 feet in the Pioneer Mountains; Owl Creek near Galena Summit and another hut on the backside of Dollar Mountain. “What am I going to do with them up there all day long?”

he asked Rogers. “Take some watercolors and when you’ve had enough go off by yourself and paint,” Rogers replied. It proved to be a match made in backcountry heaven. Haemmerle charmed guests, spinning stories as the steak and onions sizzled in the frying pan. He downplayed the talk of war even as World War II unfolded in Europe: “Var?” Why talk of var? If they would build more ski lifts and more little houses (like the Pioneer Cabin) there vould be no need for var.” And he always had an account of his latest schuss over sagebrush, stumps and fallen timber. “I was chust making a sctem christie and dere was standing dere some rocks vit only a liddle snow on them so I went with my head in the snow again…” he told fellow skier Dave Bradley, who recalled the exchange in an article he wrote for “The Valley Sun.” One of the guests Haemmerle used to take into the cabin was Dwight Shepler, an American landscape artist who loved to paint the craggy mountains that form a half-cirque around the cabin. Shepler traded Haemmerle watercolor painting lessons for ski lessons. And Haemmerle took to painting like a skier on a powder day. When he wasn’t taking guests on the numerous routes fanning out from the cabin, he could be found painting the mountain goats he saw on Goat Peak or the alpenglow on Old Hyndman. One of Averell Harriman’s daughters offered him $350 for one of his paintings and his watercolor career was launched. “He had a talent—it just came out of his fingers. And his fingers were a mile long,” said Bebe. “And he also had a sense of humor about his paintings, as well. The filmmaker Darryl Zanuck once asked if he felt as if he were skiing over women’s bodies. And next thing you knew, he had painted a picture of women’s breasts that resembled a ski mountain with a skier skiing down it.” Sun Valley gave Haemmerle the sole right to hang his paintings in the Redwood Room—now the Sun Room in the Sun Valley Lodge. His St. Florian—protector of fires—graced the wall of the Sun Valley Inn until the inn

was remodeled a couple years ago. Ann Sothern couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rest until Haemmerle had gold leafed and marbleized the altar in Our Lady of Snows Catholic Church. One of Haemmerleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings provides the background for the Blaine County Recreation Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretive sign at the Boulder Creek Bridge. And his Bavarian-style wall murals and watercolors can still be found on some private homes and public places like the Knob Hill Inn and St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood River Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved his workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you could always tell his touch,â&#x20AC;? said longtime Ketchum resident Mary Jane Conger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Averell Harriman when he set up Sun Valley wanted a Tyrolean look and he asked my father if he would contact other businessmen about doing the same with Ketchum. Sourdoughs that they were they completely rejected the idea. But I thought it was pretty uniqueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it added a lot to the ski atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Haemmerle left his marks in other ways, as well. He christened many of the peaks that he painted from the porch of Pioneer Cabin. He named Salzburger for the boys from Salzburg that he skied with. He named Handwerk and Duncan for two fellows in the 10th Mountain Division that were killed in action. He named Goat Peak for goats he saw there. And he named Florianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nudl for himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said it looked like a breast. And he always enjoyed seeing it build up with the snow,â&#x20AC;? Bebe said. Haemmerle also named the Bowls on Baldy, starting with Lefty â&#x20AC;&#x153;because you turn left there.â&#x20AC;? May Day in honor of the spring slalom, Christmas, Easter and the others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In those days no one skied the Bowls after a storm,â&#x20AC;? Bebe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Florian took his Old Gentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Classâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a class made up of men like the owner of Baker Furniture and the owner of Green Bay Packaging Company. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked at that virgin snow long enough. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going over there.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They went scared to death but they knew Florian would get them down.â&#x20AC;? The Old Gentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Class also made ski trips to Galena Summit and even down the backside of Dollar Mountain where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ski down to a bus that awaited them at the Reinheimer Ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flokie would go feel the snow at 2 in the morning to see whether it had set up so they could ski it,â&#x20AC;? Bebe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was so jealous of that class because they had a ball. Florian had fun up his sleeves. People always had a smile on their face when they were skiing with him.â&#x20AC;? Bebe met her husband-to-be in 1949 when the man in charge of the wax-room at the Challenger Inn, now the Sun Valley Inn, insisted that Haemmerle would want to meet someone with a Swiss name like hers. They went to the movies and stopped by the Christiania where Haemmerle had taught Gary Cooper and Ann Sothern to play craps. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also won a lot of money there from Darryl Zanuck and other Hollywood types with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;luckyâ&#x20AC;? fingers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was love at first sight for both of us,â&#x20AC;? Bebe recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ohmygosh those eyes of his. We went out every single night I was hereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I was here a month. And when I went to pay my bills before I got on the bus to go back to Milwaukee, the bill was marked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Post No Bills.â&#x20AC;? Pappy had picked up my bill for the entire month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Florianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girl. Sun Valley is picking up the tab.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; they were crazy about Florian and they liked the idea of him dating just a plain olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; girl.â&#x20AC;? The two married the following year and had three childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Walter, a doctor, Fritz, an attorney, and Reli.

Haemmerle suffered a stroke five years before he died, which rendered the talkative Bavarian speechless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ann Sothern said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You finally stopped talking. God was good to you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked your whole life. Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on Easy Street. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to talk anymore.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Bebe recalled. But the stroke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep him from painting one more St. Christopher on his house south of the Ketchum Korral, nor did it stop him from painting borders around the windows. And he kept churning out his somewhat impressionistic watercolors until the day he died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was quite the character. Oh, the stories he could tell,â&#x20AC;? said Hans Thum, himself a ski instructor and a Tyrolean-style artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And many of his paintings were quite good. He had a particular skill for painting snow, which is something not everyone can do. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite fitting, considering he spent so much time around snow.â&#x20AC;?

Stories are Legion:

When World War II broke out, Haemmerle, by then an American citizen, was the 45th man to be drafted into the U.S. Army and, at 32 one of the oldest. He put his artistic skills to work drawing skiing diagrams for the Tenth Mountain Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handbook. Having coached the Bavarian ski team in the 1932 Olympics at Lake Placid, he also was put to work training the troops to ski and climb. But some of his superiors questioned his decision to have his men grow beards and sleep in their clothes to survive 40-degree below temperatures in Northern Michigan. Haemmerle protested that the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to sport cleanshaven faces and starched uniforms didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut it in extreme survival conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;these sons of a gunâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they teach me nothing. I teach them everything,â&#x20AC;? he added. Haemmerle never fought in Italy himself. He spent several years struggling to regain his health when he came down with jaundice from a bad yellow fever shot. But Bebe Haemmerle says he played a role in nursing troops back to health from his hospital bedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with the help of bourbon. Noticing injured troops werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking their pills, he began slipping them shots of bourbon in the little pill cups â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. When the nurses started catching on to him he began hiding his bourbon in a toilet tank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell them he had bourbon-flavored toothpaste and hair tonic when they said they smelled bourbon on him,â&#x20AC;? Bebe recalled. They never did find his stash. But the boys couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for happy hour to come. And he said all of a sudden heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see smiles on the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faces and they made a complete turnaround.â&#x20AC;? Haemmerle snuck his friend and co-ski instructor Hans Hauser out of town after Hauser became involved with Virginia Hill. Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend Bugsy Siegel had been found murdered in her home a few years earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hans was 6-foot-5, a good guy but stupid,â&#x20AC;? Bebe recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a beautiful girl but she swore like a trooper.â&#x20AC;? Hill threw around $100 tips that she received in shoeboxes sent to Sun Valley, Bebe said. She even gave Haemmerle a $100 bill to buy a sweater. After a few dinners with Hauser and Hill, Bebe told Florian she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go out with her anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every other word shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a swear word,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hill eventually persuaded her to give her another chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Am I doing alright, Bebe? Am I doing alright?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Haemmerleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ski Routes Commemorated With Open House

new generation of skiers followed the ski tracks of Florian Haemmerle last spring, commemorating the 75th anniversary of his ascent and descent of the Salzburerg Spitzl. a pyramid-like mountain overlooking Pioneer Cabin and viewable from Baldy. Zach Crist, Kitt and Cody and others followed routes Haemmerle had mapped out around Pioneer Cabin. Their experience and Haemmerleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legend is currently on exhibit at the Ketchum Sun Valley Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ski and Heritage Museum located at First and Washington streets in Ketchum. And some of the modern-day adventurers will be on hand to talk about their experience during an open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday. The event is free, although donations will be welcome. Refreshments will be served. Kitt Doucette said he had never heard of Florian Haemmerle when he embarked on the adventure. Now he sees him as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;larger than life godfather of Sun Valley Resort.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He helped define what it meant to be a skier. He created an unenviable lifestyle prototype for generations to follow,â&#x20AC;? Doucette said. Haemmerle left Germany in 1929 in pursuit of a better life. He won a ski race in Vermont on borrowed skis, which led to a coaching job at Dartmouth where he trained Dick Durrance. Durrance then helped get him a job at Sun Valley where he was appointed director of Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backcountry skiing. Haemmerle built three ski huts for Sun Valley, including the Pioneer Cabin, carrying the cabinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potbelly stove up the mountain piece by piece. tws

hether you have moved to a new city or are just looking for a better place to store your money, there are important things to look for when choosing a new bank. Customers should make sure that what the bank offers fits their needs. Here are some tips to make sure your bank is the right fit for you. If you will be traveling to different states, make sure the bank has locations everywhere you will be. Closeness is key. Make sure the bank has convenient locations and ATMs. Look out for unnecessary fees. Ask about extra charges up front. ATM usage fees or a debit card fee are the most common. Often you can avoid fees by having direct deposit or an automatic transfer to savings. However, if you use your bank for the bare minimum, you should expect some fees. Remember though, there is always a way to make a bank account free. Make sure you can grow into your bank. Do they offer a lending line of credit, mortgage, or small business options? Consolidate to one bank to get the best from your bank. You need to have enough money

all in one place in order to take advantage of what the bank has to offer. If your credit card, debit card, and savings account are all from different organizations, you are more likely to be charged fees or not be offered the best available services. Examine a few banks when going to college. Try to find something that offers paperless bill paying and full service banking online. Prepaid cards can also be very valuable for students. Parents can load money onto the cards so students learn how to budget and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overspend. Do your homework. Not all banks are the same. Look for good customer service. If and when you have an issue with your account you want to be confident your banker will put your needs first and resolve tws the issue.

Wendy To The Rescue BY MARK COOK

t was with great pleasure when I saw our long time representative Wendy Jaquet was appointed to Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health and Welfare Board because during this time of change from runaway health care costs to a new system where even the least prosperous citizen in Idaho will now have access to quality health care, Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accumulated wisdom will be so helpful. I know what â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthâ&#x20AC;? means, but what does the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;welfareâ&#x20AC;? mean? An online dictionary defines â&#x20AC;&#x153;welfareâ&#x20AC;? as: â&#x20AC;&#x153;statutory procedure or social effort designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in needâ&#x20AC;?. Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that sound like the greatest job ever? Sitting around thinking and putting into motion policies to help better peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. Have you ever stood against or tried to sail into a typhoon? Wellâ&#x20AC;Ś you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get very far with the head wind. So before you go envying Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cush new job, be thankful you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the head winds she is going to face. How can you help all the moms who may lose WIC assistance or help all the parents whose little kids are going to be thrown out of head Start because the Republicans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase taxes on those who have the most and are quickly willing to cut services to those who have the least? Really, what can you say to them except, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the one who voted for republican policies of which this is just one of many that will harm your own familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welfareâ&#x20AC;?? Â Idaho is one of the most impoverished and under educated states in the nation and when the population votes against their own best interests time and time again, it has to tax the talents of even one as talented as Wendy. There are serious problems in health care in America starting with greed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written about the emergence of â&#x20AC;&#x153;superbugsâ&#x20AC;? that no

antibiotic can stop. This past week the alarm was sounded even louder from the Centers for Disease Control. And still no effort has been announced from the drug companies who cite lack of profit potential as the reason they are not researching new antibiotics. That should be comforting to the doctors and nurses on the front lines and the population in general to know that corporate profit is more important than their lives. Each day it becomes more risky for our health professionals to go to work which leads to another big challenge for Wendy: mental health. In the years since â&#x20AC;&#x153;compassionate conservativeâ&#x20AC;? Ronald Wilson Reagan kicked the mentally ill into the streets to fend for themselves and threw our nation into massive debt to fuel his failed â&#x20AC;&#x153;trickle down theoryâ&#x20AC;?. Among other reasons, mental illness mental illness due to the stress of consumer debt has turned this nation into a nation of drug addicts affording great profits to drug companies who have no motivation to stop the abuse or cure your illness that in turn stops their cash flow. Talk about a conflict of interest. And now the mentally ill are finding themselves locked up in jails without any mental health care at all. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassion? Yes, the health care system in America is sick, morally and ethically. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonder anyone in impoverished Idaho would vote to conserve and preserve a system that is parasitic on their own families rather than help create a system that is symbiotic and beneficial to all. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite confusing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad Wendy is there to work it out.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, When my refrigerator started having problems, buying a different one from the classifieds was my first thought. My parents, on the other hand, are trying to convince me that buying a new one is the only way to go. To prove their point, they bought a new one for themselves. The first one delivered was defective. After three hours on the telephone with customer service, they got a second one delivered. This time it was the wrong model. A few more hours on the telephone got that one returned. However, now they're living out of a small dorm refrigerator because the store hauled away their old one. While they've been eating take-out and waiting for a replacement, they're still trying to convince me that buying new is better. From their example I can't see the advantages. Am I really wasting my time buying a used refrigerator? Right now, buying a new one seems like a bigger hassle.

• • •

Cash: Having a dorm-size

refrigerator wouldn't be so bad if your parents had the college meal plan to go with it.

Fast Facts Making the Grade

Carry: It's also a great excuse to avoid cooking and go out to dinner. Cash: As your parents have proven by their example, buying new isn't necessarily going to save you time or money. Contrary to your parent's belief, you can find a quality used refrigerator in the classifieds. Cash: It seems that your parents may have confused the term "used" with "old", and that's not necessarily the case. Refrigerators are common appliances that show up for sale quite often. Although some can be older, many are relatively new and up for sale as a result of newly remodeled kitchens or home purchases. Carry: In most cases, refrigerators are sold because they no

longer fit a certain décor. Buying one like that can save you considerable money. Cash: When it comes to refrigerators though, you should look for models that are not more than a few years old. Refrigerators continue to get more energy efficient each year. Carry: Buying a fridge that is too old could cost you more in the long run since it uses more electricity to keep things cool. You'll find that most newer models have better insulation and efficiency factors than their predecessors. Cash: However, if you do choose to buy a used refrigerator, just be careful. Since you might have one before your parents, they may invite themselves over for dinner!

Choosing a new refrigerator is no easy task. According to EPA’s Energy Star, there are over 2500 different models of refrigerators on the market. That's a lot of choices. However, they dwindle quickly when you look at efficiency. Only about 1500 of these models meet today's Energy Star criteria (15% better than the federal standard). The more efficient, the less choices there are. About 120 models (less than 5%) are 20% better than the federal standard. A mere 15 models (less than 1%) are 25% better than the standard.

Size Matters

Some people choose a refrigerator based on the space they have between cabinets. Others select a model by the features it offers. But what is the right size for your family? To determine the approximate number of cubic feet you will need, multiply the number of people in your household by five. For example, a family of four would need a refrigerator approximately 20 cubic feet in size. If you're the type of family that likes to buy in bulk, you might consider multiplying by six. •

Reader Humor The Key to Dieting

When my friend Mary bought a new refrigerator, she came up with what she thought was a great idea. Ever since she put her husband on a diet, he'd sneak treats from the refrigerator when she wasn't looking. Her new plan was to put the old refrigerator in the garage with the food he wasn't allowed to eat. When I came over to visit and saw the refrigerator in the garage, I questioned the effectiveness of her plan. "How does it help him if he knows the goodies are in here?" I asked. "He may know what's in there," she said showing me the padlock on the side, "but I have the only key!" (Thanks to Stephanie J.)
