Herbst grabs halfway gold in Iditarod By KAREN BOSSICK

ommunity School teacher Trent Herbst went north to Alaska and will return home with $3,000 in gold nuggets. Herbst didn’t strike gold, but he and his 14 dogs were the first to arrive in the ghost town of Iditarod in the famed Iditarod dog sled race. Iditarod signifies the halfway point in the 1,161-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. “This is BIG news for a local guy,” said Troy Larsen, whose Windy City Arts sponsors Trent. Herbst said the northern lights show he got while running the dogs in 25-below-zero temperatures was an added bonus. Unfortunately, Herbst had not yet taken his mandatory 24-hour rest required of mushers at the time he took the gold. That meant that some of them would soon be passing him. Herbst, who races with young dogs, was in 23rd place as of Sunday, with John Baker in first and the better known Lance Mackey and Martin Buser in 11th and 12th positions. This is Herbst’s fifth Iditarod. His students have helped him build his sled and make scads of doggie booties. tws

The first- through fifth-graders requested the classes after Lui taught them a few Chinese riddles and characters while substituting in their classes. “I said, ‘Okay, I will offer you 10 lessons and see if you want more.’ I never expected so many children to want to do it,” Lui said. “Now YAK (Youth Adult Konnections) has asked me to teach a program at the middle school. And I’m

Liu points to Chinese New year slogans, such as “Wish that you make advancement in your studies,” and “Be safe in and out,” which many Chinese hang on their doors. “Take yours home and show your parents,” Lui told the children. “And put it in your home because these are good wishes.”

considering offering a summer camp.” Lui grew up studying English and Mandarin Chinese in her native Hong Kong. She traveled the world—from Australia to Thailand to Flint, Mich.—putting her command of both languages to work as a corporate communications specialist for Dow Chemical Company. When the SARS respiratory pandemic halted business in Hong Kong in 2003, she and a friend took a vacation to Tibet where she met Sun Valley ski Instructor Brook Leiphart. “He didn’t speak Chinese and had no idea where to go or how to use public transportation. So I invited him to join us,” Lui recalled. The two exchanged e-mails over the next year. Leiphart convinced Lui to come to the United States to visit Sun Valley after war prompted her to reconsider her vacation to the Middle East. In 2005 she came to the United States again—this time to marry Leiphart. But she was deported at the airport because of visa problems and the wedding had to be put on hold for a year while she and Leiphart completed the necessary paperwork. “Hong Kong is very cosmopolitan, with people always moving around. Sun Valley is a resort—very quiet, lots of nature, people on holiday. I’ve come to treasure the mountain nature, the beauty of things, the clean air, the slower pace of living, the simplicity of life,” Lui said. Lui recently completed an online teaching course, which allowed her to teach in

Historical snowshoe treks with Averell Staycation Suggestion Making treks

By KAREN BOSSICK

trap on a pair of snowshoes and step back into time. That’s what local history buff Katherine Pleasants invites locals and visitors alike to do every weekend at the Sun Valley Nordic Center. Pleasants offers historical snowshoe treks from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, greeting snowshoers with an admonition to close their eyes before they begin their trek along Trail Creek and through the wooded groves that dot the Sun Valley Golf Course. “Now, pretend that you’re just getting off the train that brought visitors to Sun Valley nearly 75 years ago in 1936, she says as she begins describing the tanned Austrian ski instructors that greeted guests then. Sun Valley-area residents Inger Vida, Coleen Baldwin, Leslie Silva and Liane Mynatt joined Pleasants one sunny afternoon. Equipped with ski poles for balance, they followed Pleasants as she plowed through foot-deep snow along a snowshoe trail leading away from the posh Sun Valley Club restaurant. “Look, there’s a sleigh going through the trees, just as it would have done in 1936,” she pointed, as the group watched a sleigh full of men, women and children decked out in lap blankets being pulled by Clydesdales to the historic Trail Creek Cabin. Pleasants stopped within view of Proctor Mountain, which boasts one of Sun Valley’s original chairlifts. She pulled some historic photos out of her pack and describes how Union Pacific Magnate Averell Harriman sent Count Felix Schaffgotsch throughout the West trying to find a setting for a destination ski resort to rival St. Moritz in Switzerland. The Austrian count had all but given up on finding anything to his liking when someone suggested he check out an old mining town nestled under the craggy Pioneer Mountains of Idaho. “This is the place,” he exclaimed, pointing out that the snow and other conditions were even better than St. Moritz. Union Pacific promptly purchased 3,888 acres of land for $39,000, Pleasants added, eliciting a chorus of amazed “Awwws” from the women in tow. Just in time for the first season, Harriman had an engineer build what was to be the world’s first chairlift modeled after the hook used to pick bananas up when loading them on ships. “They tested it with a car in Nebraska before they ever built it here,” Pleasants added, showing the group a photo of the testing. The group continues their trek down a gentle hill past an old wooden water tank, past trees that look as if they’re decked out in wedding dresses thanks to the snow that fell the day before. “Oh, isn’t this beautiful,” murmured Vida, a Norwegian native who moved to Sun Valley 38 years ago, as she scanned a vista that topped out with the peaks to the north. Pleasants prattled on about Sun Valley’s early guests, which included Gary Cooper and Ernest Hemingway. Then she described how Otto Lang traded filmmaker Darryl Zanuck ski lessons to learn

Sun Valley’s Historical Snowshoe Tours are held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and by request. Pre-registration is suggested at 208-622-2250. Cost is $35 for adults--free for children under 6. Snowshoes are available for rent at the Nordic Center ($15 for adults and $13 for children).

Stories with Averell

Katherine Pleasants is used to having people on her snowshoe tours offer up a few stories of their own related to Sun Valley’s storied past. But, recently, she and Leslie Silva got to listen to some stories told by none other than Averell Harriman III, grandson of the man who founded Sun Valley in 1936. “To be next to him took me back in time. His grandfather was the one who created this place and to me that’s magical,” said Silva, wife of Sun Valley’s general manager. Harriman was to have joined the two on one of Pleasants’ historical snowshoe tours. But his legs were trashed from a day of phenomenal powder skiing under bluebird skies and so he begged off the snowshoe part. But he did take the time to look at some of the photos Pleasants shows her trekkers. Harriman told how his grandfather loved Austria because he had a hunting lodge there. That’s how he became good friends with Count Felix Schaffgotsch, the man who scoured the United States looking for a place to build the resort. And that’s why he embellished SunValley village with an Austrian flavor. Harriman’s grandson said he recalled as a child being around Hemingway. And he expressed how heartbroken band Leader Eddy Duchin was when his wife passed away after giving birth to the couple’s son Peter. Harriman, who divides his time between New York and Florida, said he gets out to Sun Valley a couple times a year. “He ‘s just a delightful person— he had a twinkle in his eye and that happy glow that people have when they come to Sun Valley,” said Pleasants. “The whole meeting was just enchanting.”

about the film industry, eventually going on to become a filmmaker. And how a Swedish hockey player named Leif Odmark decided he wanted to visit “this enchanted place” when he had a couple days off from playing hockey in Chicago. Odmark had no idea that Sun Valley wasn’t just a hop skip and jump from Chicago, Pleasants said. And to make matters worse, he found him stuck in a blizzard when he got to Twin Falls. He became the hometown hero there after he volunteered his long wooden skis to ski in search of a missing Twin Falls man. Odmark eventually settled down in Sun Valley, founding the Sun Valley Nordic Center, which was one of the first Nordic touring centers in the United States. Pleasants informed her trekkers that they can burn between 800 and 1,000 calories an hour snowshoeing—certainly enough to make up for the big chocolate chip Sun Valley cookie a couple of the women ate earlier. Trekkers burn up bonus calories for trekking up a short hill to see Hemingway memorial, she added. Silva agreed: “It’s so wonderful for those who don’t ski. “And Katherine is just full of knowledge.” tws

pera lovers will have their work cut out for them Saturday as they have a Met HD Live Opera to attend in the morning and then Sun Valley Opera’s Alfie Boe concert in the evening. The Sun Valley Opera and Bigwood Theater will present the Metropolitan Opera’s production of “Lucia di Lammermoor” at 11 a.m. Saturday at the theater in Hailey. Gaetano Donizetti’s tragic opera in three acts is loosely based on Sir Water Scott’s historical novel, The Bride of Lammermoor, and is set in 17th-century Scotland. The opera premiered in 1835 at a time when people were intrigued with everything Scottish. Natalie Dessay triumphed as the fragile heroine of Donizetti’s masterpiece on Opening Night of the 2007-08 season in Mary Zimmerman’s hit production. Now she returns to the role of the innocent young woman driven to madness, opposite Joseph Calleja, who sings her lover, Edgardo. In a feud between the Scottish families of Ravenswood and Lammermoor, Enrico (Lord Henry Ashton of Lammermoor) has gained the upper hand over Edgardo (Edgar of Ravenswood), killing his kinsmen and taking over his estates. By the time of the opera’s action, however, Enrico’s fortunes have begun to wane. In political disfavor, he stakes all on uniting his family with that of Arturo (Lord Arthur Bucklaw), whom he means to force his sister, Lucia (Lucy Ashton), to marry. Tickets are available online at www.fathomevents.com or at the Bigwood Theater box office. Cost is $22/ general admission; $20/seniors; $18 for students 18 and under. And, beginning with this showing, Rasberry Catering will offer box lunches. The lunches can be ordered at the theater. tws

The people’s tenor Sun Valley Opera brings Alfie Boe to the Limelight BY KAREN BOSSICK

lfie Boe might have spent his life polishing and spray painting cars at a sports car factory in Blackpool, England, had it not been for his father. His father played his favorite operatic arias for his nine children every Sunday as they sat down to the family meal. And young Alfie learned to sing “The Toreador Song” along with the Beatles’ “I Wanna Hold Your Hand.” Alfie was entertaining coworkers with an aria when a customer heard him and encouraged him to audition for a touring show singing Gilbert and Sullivan. Now, two decades later, this former auto mechanic is known as “the people’s tenor” in England. He has a Tony Award for his role in the Broadway production of “La Boheme.” His album “Onward” shared a Classic Brit Award nomination with former Beatle Paul McCartney and Sting. His latest CD, “Bring Him Home,” which includes such songs as “Come What May” from “Moulin Rouge” and “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of La Mancha,” has hit the top 10 in Great Britain. And millions of Americans just saw him sing the lead role of Jean Val Jean in a PBS broadcast showcasing the 25th anniversary production of “Les Miserables,” which played to a sold-out audience of 23,000 at the London 02 Arena. Sun Valley residents will get to see 37-year-old Alfred Giovanni Roncalli Boe in person Saturday when he flies in from London where he lives with his wife Sarah and 2-year-old daughter for a Sun Valley Opera concert before returning home to prepare for a five-month run as Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables.” The concert was made possible through the connections that seem so ubiquitous to the Sun Valley area. Boe’s wife trained as an actress at the University of Utah and the couple has a home in Salt Lake City. And Sarah’s

family, who lives in Salt Lake City, has vacation property in Sun Valley and Boe has visited here before. “We feel so fortunate to have signed him before his meteoric rise as a star,” said Sun Valley Opera Director Mary Jo Helmeke. “It would be pretty hard to touch him today,” agreed Opera co-founder Frank Meyer. “He’s one of the best, if not the best, classical crossover singers of our generation in the world, what with the lead in ‘La Boheme’ for the English National Opera and his upcoming role in ‘Les Miserables’ the same year. This will be an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Alfie perform up close in an exclusive private setting concert.” At 14, Boe joined a local operatic company because his sister told him it would be a good way to meet girls. He sang in amateur productions of “Carmen” and “Il Trovatore.” After his Gilbert and Sullivan tour, he entered the Royal College of Music in London on scholarship. But Boe didn’t stay. He took a detour into rock ‘n roll as “Opera Dude,” then returned to classical music, enrolling in the Royal Opera House’s Young Artists Programme. But six months into the two-year course, he left again—this time to star in filmmaker Baz Luhrmann’s “La Boheme” on Broadway. From there he toured with the Boston Pops, singing musical theatre songs, and released a number of albums, including an album of his favorite Neapolitan songs, before returning to Britain—and opera. What’s it all about, Alfie? It’s simply about the fact that there’s a lot of great music out there and he doesn’t want to be tied down to any one form, he says. “Broadway and opera are two very different worlds, obviously,

but my life on Broadway was so exciting and something else,” he said. “I love classical music and opera. Don’t get me wrong but that world is quite insular and can be intimidating to a new audience. As a singer, I want to dispel that image and be able to play to a wider audience and reach so many more people with my song. I don’t like being categorized as an opera singer as it limits what you can and can’t sing, plus the audience you play to.” That said, Boe has been working with the Prince of Wales Arts and Kids Foundation to introduce children to opera. “It’s so important to inspire and encourage the youth of our nations in music and the arts no matter what the genre it is. They are the future in the world of music, dance, film, TV and other visual art forms, whether it be as a performer or an audience member,” he said. Boe’s lineup for Saturday night includes “O Sole Mio,” “Marechiare,” “Pure Imagination” from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” “Some Enchanted Evening” from “South Pacific,” “On the Street Where You Live” from “My Fair Lady,” “If I Loved You” from “Carousel” and, of course, “Bring Him Home,” the iconic song from “Les Miserables.” “This is the first song that I ever sang in public when I was a 14-year-old. It’s a close one to me,” he said. “I hope you like the program I’ve chosen—as all the songs are close to my heart. I’m really looking forward to returning home and singing for you all.” tws

Martin to perform for Caritas benefit By KAREN BOSSICK

ass-baritone James C. Martin will bring the Catfish Row of “Porgy and Bess” to Sun Valley Friday and Saturday in a benefit for the Caritas Chorale. Martin, who has sung with the elite Chorale three times, will sing “Summertime” and other selections from “Porgy and Bess.” The groundbreaking musical was conceived by George Gershwin in 1935 as an American folk opera featuring a cast of classically-trained AfricanAmerican singers—a daring move on the American stage at that time. Martin also will sing several opera arias, American folk songs, spirituals and gospel numbers. He will be joined on stage by Mississippi soprano Tessica McClendon and accompanist David Osteen, the organist and choirmaster at St. Phillips Episcopal Church in Jackson, Miss. Martin, who teaches voice at Millsaps College and Jackson State University in Jackson, Miss., has won critical acclaim for his performances with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera’s Western Opera Theater Tour, the Santa Fe Opera, New York City Opera, Theater Basel in Basel, Switzerland, the Norwegian Royal Opera House of Oslo, Norway, and other such organizations. A versatile singer, he’s fond of saying that his repertoire “spans Bach to bebop, Britten to Burleigh and Berg to Bernstein.” The Juilliard School graduate appeared with the New York’s Lincoln Center in their American songbook and African-American History Series, MOMA’s Summergarden Series and has sung in such distinguished venues as Carnegie Hall, the National Cathedral and the Library of Congress. Despite his busy teaching and performance schedule, Martin has found time each summer to teach vocal at St. Thomas Playhouse’s Performing Arts Conservatory Youth Camp the past few summers. He volunteered to come to Sun Valley during his spring break, said

And he’s an incredible bass-baritone—very flexible in that he can do all the different styles of repertoire.” tws

New York’s Bill Raymond visits Ketchum The nexStage Theatre is proud to announce that renowned New York actor and director Bill Raymond will be directing a spring play project—“A Little Night Laughter”—for the theater, with performances June 1–5. This will be Raymond’s fourth trip to the Valley to collaborate with the nexStage. He will be arriving here in early May to begin working with the cast and crew on the project, which will be produced by Jonathan Kane for the nexStage. Raymond has been the recipient of three Obie Awards, American theater’s highest honor—two for performance and one a lifetime achievement award as co-artistic director of the New Yorkbased theater group, Mabou Mines.

Writing about Mabou Mines, The New York Times said, “Across nearly thirty years in the cash-poor trenches of the modern theater, the members of Mabou Mines have created one enduring stage image after another—frequently on their own, but often enough in collaboration to have ranked them indisputably among the most influential experimental ensembles of our time.” In addition, Raymond toured the world to critical acclaim with “Cold Harbor,” in which he portrayed Ulysses S. Grant and also directed. Most recently he was seen on Broadway in the hit revival of Gypsy and in George Clooney’s film Michael Clayton. Info: call the nexStage, 726-9124.

Try office yoga By KRISTIN BIGGINS, OTR/L CHT RYT CYT-C

he two words â&#x20AC;&#x153;officeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;yogaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are rarely put together in the same sentence unless it is something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot wait to get out of this office so I can get to yogaâ&#x20AC;?. Is it possible to meld tenets of the yoga practice into everyday life so that one is not counting the hours before the shift ends? Yes, one breath at a time. The first step in making a shift is understanding that it can be harder to practice yoga off the mat than on it. We are often subject to intangibles that dictate what our day is like. It becomes necessary to understand that we do have control to shift our energy through physical and mental processes. To follow are some suggestions to bring yourself closer to a yogic perspective in body and in mind while at work. 1. Center. Upon arrival to office, take a minute, close the eyes and set a positive intention for your day. 2. Create the environment. The workstation should encourage openness. The job task should be centered between elbow and shoulder height and not encourage awkward or repetitive movements. Create serenity in your space through natural lighting and an inspiring layout. 3. Find the foundation. Feel the sits bones grounding so that the spine can elongate while sitting. Keep awareness of the abdominal muscles, side waist and spinal muscles. 4. Be flexible, move, and explore. Bend, twist, fold, shift, squat, or stand, open and stretch away from the work task every 30 minutes. Studies show sitting

for hours is linked to health risks even if you exercise. 5. Breathe. Inhale through the nose, taking the breath downward first, then feel expansion in the chest. Exhale slowly. The breath is a tool that can be used to focus and help with centering. Attempt to take one to two three-minute timeouts to close eyes and focus on breath throughout the day. 6. Nourish. Hydrate, make good food choices, and find at least 15 minutes of outdoor fresh air and sunlight a day. One can be more efficient when oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body and mind are aligned. There is much to be said about living oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yoga and being present, and with this, intentions can unfold into reality. tws

habitat for non-humanity

A songbirdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; paradise lost

Sun Spreads its Light on the Mountain

By BALI SZABO

great many of our summer birds head south when their biological clocks tell them Bali Szabo itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Many humans do the same. What is a big easy for us is no vacation for the songbirds. They face a pitchforked battle for survival against the forces of civilization. What is a vacation/ retirement paradise for many of us has become the killing fields for birds. In 1700, a map of many Latin American regions would show forest cover and other natural habitats. During the 18th century, economic development in both the Old and New Worlds took an exponential leap. The growth of cities and towns and the necessary equal growth of lands under cultivation continue unabated into today. The same map today shows large expanses devoid of cover. Deforestation rates are 2% per year. Every year, Latin America loses habitat the size of Florida. Habitat loss is by far the greatest and most pervasive problem faced by our migrant neotropical songbirds both in their winter feeding grounds and the breeding grounds of North America. As the map shows, Central America is the funnel that channels all the migrating birds through there. Many stop here because they belong here, and they are useful as pollinators, re-seeders and insect controllers. Here, the apple needs to fall far from the tree. By scattering seeds far from their source, they reclaim lost land, continue to spread native plant growth and aid species diversity. As more and more land gets plowed under to grow cash crops for North American supermarkets, an already small habitat shrinks evermore, and the competition is fierce for what is left. A breeding pair may be lovey-dovey up here, but they become adversaries down there, competing for feeding grounds. A forest songbird like the woodthrush (elegant song) lays claim

to a football-field-sized territory. It eats insects, which are not as plentiful in the winter dry season. It needs this much territory to build strength and store fat for the return trip here. The many juveniles on their first trip down donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the ropes and cannot compete against older males. Along with many females, they become refugee migrants who are forced into more marginal, dangerous habitats, which provide less caloric food, and puts them in closer contact with humanity. Biologists have been able to show that shrinking habitat results in dwindling numbers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to generalize about the hundreds of species of migrant birds. Some can adjust to people, others canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. They vary in their diets and social habits. Some are generalistsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;others are very area specific. Some are loners, some live in mega-roosts, or in mixed species flocks (a defense strategy). They inhabit every terrain known to man, but they are still in trouble. The second major threat they face is from pesticidesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;heavily, sometimes illegally and indiscriminately used south of the border, all the way down to Tierra del Fuego. Our birds have to survive a 6,500-mile-long toxic waste tws dump!

Slope and trail conditions By KAREN BOSSICK

ollege students competing in the U.S. Collegiate National Ski and Snowboard Championships in Sun Valley this past week found the racecourse at the Sun Valley Nordic Center harder than they thought it would be. And the world-class skier and boardercross course on Dollar Mountain really kicked their butts. But, despite the uncharacteristic gray that shrouded Sun Valley much of the week, many of the 450 collegiate skiers and racers said they hope to return some day to ski and board Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;without the pressure of racing. The University of Wyoming was one of the funnest teams to watch, given their bright bold cowboy hats and the way they skied around their flag of a cow-

boy on a bucking bronc. But when the snow had settled, it was a local outfitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the College of Idaho Coyotesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who bested some of the traditional ski college powerhouses. C of Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team won the halfpipe championship and the slopestyle championship. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad won its first combined national title since 1995. The weatherman purports weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for another snowy week. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snow was certainly not as powdery as last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3incher. But it still made for some fun turning for those who got there before it got cut up. The bottom of the mountain was a tad hard after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain but is skiing pretty well now that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been groomed a few times. It has been starting to get a little slushy after 1. Mogul skiing is good on the upper half of the mountain and a little tougher below the mid-section.

Off the slopesâ&#x20AC;Ś Sun Valley Nordic and other trails north of Ketchum are still very well covered despite last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain showers. In general, Nordic skiers will find soft conditions following fresh snow or rain showers and harder conditions after a night of stars. Stick to freshly groomed trails to avoid icy conditions. Volunteers are needed to help with the 2011 Spring Series, which will bring some of the best junior and senior Nordic skiers from throughout the world to Sun Valley March 26 through April 2. The event will culminate with a hill climb up Dollar Mountain on the final day. Volunteers will be given a hat or jacket depending on whether they volunteer for one day or three. To volunteer email Nancie Krankkala at krankkala@ cox. tws net.

The Learning Garden Preschool in Hailey recently completed another successful fundraiser. Every year, the children, ages 3 to 5, vote on a charity to receive the fruits of their labor. In February of this year, Blaine Manor was the lucky recipient. In years past, it has been The Hunger Coalition, The Nature Conservancy, Heifer International, Feed the Children, the Senior Connection, Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley and the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. Inspired by teacher Lee Dabney, the children posed for â&#x20AC;&#x153;mug shotsâ&#x20AC;? and

made Valentine cards titled Prisoners of Love. The parents then purchased packets of five cards for $20 for their friends or families. Directors Beth Crawford and Darcy Van Steelant said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of giving and serving are learned through direct experiences, such as this fundraiser. Then, as the children grow, these behaviors will become second nature to them.â&#x20AC;? Once again, the giving has made an impact as Blaine Manor hopes to utilize the tax-deductible contributions toward a new van for the residents.

otarun shut down for skiing on Sunday despite a very successful season with some extraordinary snow. But the little ski area three miles west of Hailey in Croy Canyon is turning on its lights and cranking up its Poma lift one more time this coming Saturday for a free Spring Celebration. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be free skiing and sledding from 4 to 9 p.m. And free burgers, hotdogs and cake beginning at 5 p.m. in honor of the ski areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60-plus years. Those attending are asked to bring a favorite vegetable salad, chili or pasta dish to share, along with pictures and stories of Rotarun. Co-organizer Joan Davies says she even expects thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be some fireworks to cap the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had an amazing year with all kinds of groups, from school groups to paragliders, out there teaching beginners,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real community asset that came together through blood, sweat and tears.â&#x20AC;?

ballard street comic strip movie review

Life in a downsized world Jon rated this movie

By JONATHAN KANE

hat has the great recession wrought? Most of us are aware of what it has done to the common working man. But do we have any tears left for the shattered lives of upper management? If you watch the new film The Company Men, written and directed by John Wells, the answer is a resounding yes. With a brilliant opening montage of graceful

mansions, Porsches and country clubs, we are immediately drawn into the world of corporate riches. But all is not sitting pretty and this well-kept lifestyle is about to come crashing down. At the heart of this fine new film is a powerhouse of acting talent, including Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Craig T. Nelson and Kevin Costner. For Affleck, forever in the shadow of his best buddy Matt Damon, this is perhaps the best performance of his career. Playing a hotshot corporate manager living the high life, he finds himself fired and, subsequently, psychologically lost. His parent company is downsizing and he is cut loose. Along with him is

Cooper, in his sixties, and, sadly, with no place to turn. Jones has helped form the company and soon finds himself also in the same boat. The film shifts effortlessly between their three stories, with Affleck’s being the heart of the movie. Wells, a producer of E.R., makes his big screen debut memorable. His screenplay is on target, showing the helplessness and loss of confidence that lies in the recession’s wake. His direction of his all-star cast shows a firm touch and the ability to let great actors do their thing. The Company Men tells a story that is happening across the nation. Although its ending is optimistws tic, it’s still a sad tale.

Horoscopes for this week: zesty conjunction of the planets

Here Comes the Sun! For our 5B guests who want to escape the snow and come get pampered in Boise…

Winter Special!

A zesty conjunction of Mercury and Jupiter in Aries can be felt throughout the week, empowering conversations, injecting new hope into formerly hopeless situations and lending big-time motivation to those who are focused on accomplishing a goal. And though production is not always progress, this week’s efforts will provide much to build on in the weeks to come. The Leo moon promises festive drama on Saint Patrick’s Day. ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are those in your midst who require a great deal of reassurance and security. They would rather err on the side of convention than risk being called “weird.” But to you, playing it safe is just dull. You are who you are. If others accept this, great. If not, you won’t sweat it. You’ll just move on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Work puts you into a situation that you would never find yourself in otherwise, and with people you normally wouldn’t know. Because you have a vested interest in doing business together, you will learn quickly how to fit in, speak the same language and make a deal that is mutually advantageous. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will realize how far you have come in life -not in a material way, but having to do with your emotional development and maturity. You will rise to a new level of wisdom. You could even connect with someone you once considered to be “toxic” and realize that maybe this person is merely prickly. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The upside is that your intuition will be extremely strong this week. You will be more sensitive than usual to noise, bright light and unpleasant textures. Some solitude will be a buffer for you, but don’t hibernate for too long or let your sensory defensiveness limit your

participation in life’s pleasures. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You get the feeling that you’ll soon have to fight for what’s yours. This is the nature of ownership -- it gets tested along the way, if for no other reason than to remind you how valuable your possession really is. You will have friends on your side, too, who realize that you are the rightful owner of all that is yours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your relationships are in solid standing because you have one key element firmly in place: trust. You have a fair idea of how others will act and react, and they have come to expect a certain outcome from you, as well. You will reap sweet rewards, rewards that are coming to you because you have lived honestly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are not keeping track of who owes whom, and yet as the week goes on, it will begin to feel as though there is an imbalance of giving and taking. Realize this early on, and make it right. If you have been doing more taking, then find a way to give and give big. And if you have been doing more giving, then take. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s as though a wild card has been thrown into this week’s game and no one knows quite how to play it. Mistakes will be made, and that’s to be expected. Apologies will be offered, followed by discussion. In some ways, everyone gets closer than before because of having to come to a new understanding. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You and your close loved ones are not likely to agree on the best way to navigate the week. Scheduling choices are particularly difficult to sort out. Focus on that about which you do agree. You want to spend time together, so

start with that. Give your attention to common interests and you’ll fall into harmony. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are becoming masterful at discerning the needs and wants of others through careful observation. And the better you get at this the more you want to learn about human nature. The first person you examine is yourself. When you can see the truth in you, you will be able to see the truth in others, as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wish you could give all of your energy to every single relationship -- that’s how much you love people. Alas, it’s not possible. If you spend too much time on those outside of your circle, your loved ones will feel slighted. Make certain you give the best and most of yourself to your nearest and dearest. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t need to have the best things in order to make the best of things. However, in the name of creating greater ease and comfort, you’ll attempt a few upgrades. The result of your work will impress your friends, delight your aesthetic sense and fulfill a practical need, to boot. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll channel your energy into exciting new endeavors. You’ll become so immersed in these adventures that you’ll find there is no longer room for the anxiety and fear you once felt. With new peace of mind, you will take on a challenge in business and find financial success in May. In June, you’ll learn by listening to others and will get a better education than money could buy. August brings romance and nights lit by stars and candlelight. Your talent is what shines in September. tws

Sun Valley’s Olympic Development Team Nordic Skier Reid Pletcher won an NCAA title Friday at the NCAA Skiing Championships in Stowe, Vt. Reid was able to break away from the lead group in the final stages of the 20KM Classic Mass Start race and hold on for the win, said Coach Rick Kapala. Reid is a member of the University of Colorado-Boulder Buffs, who held a large lead over second-place University of Utah going into the last event.

briefs Rosso joins board

The Community Library Association is pleased to announce the election of long-time Wood River Valley resident Kate Rosso to its governing board. Rosso, with her husband, Bob, owns The Elephant’s Perch in Ketchum. Raised in Seattle, Wash., Kate moved to Sun Valley in 1972 after studying history and art history at Colorado State University. In the ensuing years, she was employed by the Sun Valley Company and the Ore House Corporation, worked as an office manager and charitable foundation officer, and owned and operated The Yardstick fabric store. She continues to play an active role in the philanthropic community. Rosso and her husband have one son, Stephen, who is 22.

Rasberry’s eponymous eateries By JIMA RICE

“W

here shall we have lunch, Rasberry’s… or Rasberry’s?” Now, food lovers have a choice between two Rasberry’s establishments, the original restaurant and catering in Ketchum or its three-month-old deli sibling in Hailey. The twin entrepreneurs, Maeme and Callie Rasberry, have somehow doubled their already huge energy so they can own and operate both eateries at either end of the Valley. “If we were triplets,” Callie says, “we’d probably have three restaurants.” Rasberry’s Restaurant and Catering opened in Ketchum five years ago after Callie and Maeme had lived in the Valley a few years. “I came here to help my aunt in her clothing store,” says Maeme; Callie, catering in Los Angeles, soon followed. Each possessed a business management degree. Together, they worked at a local restaurant until they decided to start their own catering business in an outof-the-way basement space on Ketchum’s Fifth Street. In truth, Maeme says, “We never thought of having a restaurant, but we’ve always liked to cook for family and friends and we tend to create a welcoming atmosphere.” The restaurant actually birthed itself. “When we first started,” laughs Callie, “we called the place the ‘speakeasy.’ We cooked all day as caterers but friends kept coming by to visit.” Soon the Rasberrys were making sandwiches and soup for their drop-ins, writing the day’s offerings on a blackboard, and trying

new dishes that people suggested. Gradually they realized they were running a thriving restaurant with a unique “family” brand and a steady following of customers seeking delicious, leisurely lunches. Turning the Ketchum basement into a charming space took imagination and resourcefulness, of which the women have plenty. The dark, enclosed area was transformed into a warm, cozy bohemian parlor decorated with glittering chandeliers, huge mirrors, a wood armoire, and handpainted panels; it is eclectic, hospitable, homey, and elegant. “People still don’t know where we are,” says Maeme, but each season brings new customers. “Clients for the catering and restaurant businesses intertwine,” she happily explains. How did the Hailey deli come about? “People kept asking us to open in Hailey,’” says Callie. When a silent partner offered help, they looked for space and found their Main Street location. They built a large deck, installed new floors, fixtures, and equipment, and opened six months later. The deli is bright, sunny, and open, almost the polar opposite of their intimate Ketchum place but equally as welcoming and comfortable. Sandwiches are more the norm, given Hailey’s working population. Callie and Maeme love being restaurant owners, creating whatever they want and incorporating client ideas. Callie, who runs Ketchum’s restaurant, states, “I get to make the choices. Sometimes I make mistakes but I turn the negative into the positive and

learn as I go.” Maeme runs the Hailey Deli and says she “likes the ownership feeling, although ‘doing it all’ can be challenging.” Together they have five full-time employees and up to seven parttime employees. Having worked together for so long, it is difficult for these young professionals to be apart. On the other hand, each is carving out new territory for herself and feels the transition is good and necessary. “We still work closely together,” explains Callie, “feeding off each others’ ideas and energy, calling each other to ask ‘What are you making today?’”

As customers stream in and out of Rasberry’s Deli for Saturday lunch, Maeme looks forward to the summer when they’ll have baskets, blankets and tables for family picnics, dining on the deck, and maybe some outdoor music. “Our summers are so short here,” she says, “we intend to be outside as much as possible.” By the way, when asked what they like to do for fun, Callie laughs and says, “We cook… and keep up our produce gardens!” tws If you have question or comments, contact Jima Rice directly at: jimasv@cox.net.

A feast in motion Linda Mathis helped herself to Cristina Cook’s lamb curry. By KAREN BOSSICK

“O

ur Moveable Feast” lived up to its name Sunday evening as some 400 people munched their way through one room of The Community Library after another. Jena Thrasher laid out a verbal map for Jan Peppler of Picabo between bites of Cristina’s lamb curry. “Don’t miss the children’s library,” she said. “They’ve even got food there.” Globus Restaurant served up scallop-mango ceviche, which patrons could spoon with fried plantain chips. Sego Restaurant offered sliders that lived up to their name as patrons bit into them and the filling sought to escape. Ciro Restaurant boasted prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, beef tenderloin sliders and scallops with orange-ginger chutney . Caterer Judith McQueen offered a couple a capella song numbers along with a tasty frittata. And Sun Valley Company gave more than a few people reason to eat dessert first as Sun Valley chefs filled the Regional History Department with an array of desserts, including praline apricot cheesecake, chocolate mousse-topped cupcakes, s’more cupcakes and big juicy cherries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries flambéed and

served over pound cake. “I won’t be able to sleep for three days after this,” one woman groaned as she filled her plate with petit fours and various chocolate truffles. The evening was a giant social fest as friends swapped stories with friends they hadn’t seen for months over Papa Doble cocktails made of lime and rum. Sharon Costa de Beauregard even ran into the person who sold her apartment in New York. “I like the effort the volunteers put into doing this event,” she said. “And it goes to such a good cause—the library is o well stocked—it has everything we could want.” Linda Mathis, a former teacher, said she loved the event

because she prizes libraries. “And this brings the community together—all these kind, gentle souls that want to do what they can to support our community,” she said. Library Director Colleen Daly said the event has grown to be as big as the library’s Community Home Tour in August. “But even more importantly, this gets people in here who have never been to the library before so they can see what it is we do,” she said. John Lundin, who divides his time between Sun Valley and Seattle, says he always puts the Moveable Feast on his calendar. “I love this library,” he said, “And I want to support them.” tws

She has endeared herself to many of her students, including 7-yearold Eric Mejorado, who jumped at the opportunity to learn about such Chinese traditions as the lighting of firecrackers to scare off wild beasts that would eat the crops. “Eric came home with this excitement—he wanted to learn Chinese. He really took to it—he talks about, ‘One day, Dad, when we go to visit China…’” all the time, said Eric’s father, Alfredo Mejorado. Fourth-grader Sierra Stern said she, too, enjoyed the opportunity to learn Chinese after having moved from a school in Oregon where she had taken Japanese. “The two languages are not really similar, like you might think,” she said. “But I’m enjoying it.” Lui rattles off a plethora of reasons to learn Chinese, including a study that indicates bilingualism may help delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. “Learning another language can be so inspiring to lead children to want to know more about the world,” she said. “And some parents have told me that with the increase of the economic power of China, they want their children to learn Chinese because one day their children may work for a Chinese company or even with a Chinese company.” tws

How can I convince my neighbor(s) to recycle?

oes it frost you that your neighbors do not recycle? Singeing their ears with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;green is goodâ&#x20AC;? rant will definitely not have positive results; try listening, instead. A common reason Americans give for not recycling is that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when, where, and what to recycle, so perhaps they just need information. Some critics will argue that it takes more energy to produce recycled products than it does to dispose of them in the landfill, since curbside collection of recyclables requires another truck. To counter this, you could explain that savings in material costs will offset this; for example, you no longer have to fuel the logging truck hauling all those trees for new paper pulp. Social psychologist Shawn

Burn found that personal contact within a neighborhood is the most effective way to increase recycling within a community (and this excludes nasty notes taped to their garbage can!). Other studies by Stuart Oskamp showed that people with neighbors who recycle were much more likely to also recycle than those without a nearby neighborhood example. While you are putting out your own bin is an excellent occasion for you to reach out to your neighbors. Perhaps you only need to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recycle; do you?â&#x20AC;? tws

briefs ERC Director, Barry, accepts new position After nearly 10 years of service, Craig Barry has announced that he will be stepping down from his position as director of the ERC in late March, to become the new manager of The Community Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gold Mine Thrift Store. Barry moved to the community from Chapel Hill, N.C., and, during his tenure at the ERC, created or expanded many programs, including school education programs, Clean Sweep, a summer event recycling effort, and initiatives strengthening energy efficiency. Barry says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a genuine honor to work with the hundreds of ERC members and dozens of partner-

ing organizations on such a wide array of ERC programs. After 10 years, it was time for a new challenge for me and I am very comfortable leaving the ERC now in such a strong position with its energy, and solid waste initiatives, current summer and school environmental education programs and with so many outstanding opportunities ahead.â&#x20AC;? Barry has been invited to join the current ERC board of directors. The current ERC education director, Lisa Huttinger, will serve as the ERCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interim executive director while a search is underway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited to carry forward the ERCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission at this important time,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I admit, I can sometimes be as clueless as the stereotypical blonde. However, I think my mechanic was trying to pull a fast one on me. Before I advertised my car for sale, I brought it to him because on cold days it had a shimmy in the front end. He told me the problem was not the alignment, but that I had almost a quart of water in one of the front tires. How blonde does he think I am? Who would put water in the front tires? I told him he was crazy, but later on my girlfriend (a brunette) said that it is possible to have water in a tire. Now I'm really feeling blonde. Is it really possible?

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Cash: Well, maybe we can help

you find your roots. Although, it looks like they are going to be blonde after all. Carry: It's rather uncommon to find a full quart of water in your tire, however it is possible. And just in case you're wondering, the water does not come from driving through puddles. Cash: Now to be fair to you, it sounds like your mechanic did not explain the situation very well.

Fast Facts Pressurized

Duane â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cashâ&#x20AC;? Holze & Todd â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carryâ&#x20AC;? Holze 03/13/11 ÂŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Most people would probably be as surprised as you were. Carry: The water in your front tire most likely came from the compressed air that was used to fill your tires. When air is compressed, moisture in the air condenses in the compressor's cylinders or storage tank. Most air compressors, like the ones you find at gas stations, have filters and drains to eliminate that problem. Cash: However, if they are not drained regularly, sometimes as much as twice a day on humid days, then that moisture can be inadvertently pumped into your tires.

Carry: The interesting part of your story is that the shimmy in your car showed up only on cold days. And if you thought the car just needed to warm up, you were partly correct. Cash: When your car sat in cold weather, the water in your tire would settle in the bottom and freeze. So when you started off in the morning, the ice made the tire imbalanced and caused a shake in the front end of your car. Once the water melted, the shimmy would go away. Carry: So don't feel too embarrassed about the situation. Regardless of hair color, we all tend to have our blonde moments.

Ever wonder how the big tire companies like Goodyear and Dunlop started? Goodyear started in 1843 when a man named Charles Goodyear took the natural rubber that oozed as tree sap and developed it into the first waterproof and winterproof rubber product. John Dunlop, on the other hand, is responsible for developing the first air filled tire. Although since it was only 1888 and the automobile was not mass produced yet, his air filled tires were designed for use on bicycles.

Full of Hot Air

While most of us go to the gas station to fill our tires with air, many NASCAR racers, formula one-race car teams and even Tour de France bicyclists fill their tires with nitrogen. Why? Tires filled with Nitrogen run cooler, experience less pressure changes and stay properly inflated longer. Although the everyday driver doesn't need such performance, some service stations can fill your tires with Nitrogen for an added cost. â&#x20AC;˘

Reader Humor Joyriding

It's not that I don't trust my 16-year-old son, but he sometimes gets into trouble when left home alone. Last time when we went away for the weekend, he took our car for a joyride around the neighborhood. We wouldn't have noticed except he accidentally backed it into the garage door. This time before leaving for the weekend, I took a few precautions. Now that he has his driver's license, I called him downstairs and said, "I'm leaving you the keys to the car. So be very careful this time." My son was so excited that he ran straight outside to the car. My wife and I laughed when he returned. "Thanks for the offer, Dad. But did you have to take off all the tires?" (Thanks to Otis A.)
