SurTHRIVING Muffy Davis to give motivational speech at Wellness Festival BY KAREN BOSSICK

Riley Wins Art Contest BY KAREN BOSSICK

F

ormer Bellevue resident Emily Riley has won “Best of Show” at the Perrine Bridge Festival Art Contest in Twin Falls. Riley’s parents represented her at a display at Rudy’s: A Cook’s Paradise in Twin Falls Friday evening. Riley’s artwork will appear on event posters, ads, postcards, T-shirts and other advertising media related to the Perrine Bridge Festival. The annual festival, held in September, includes a BASE-jumping exhibition from the Perrine Bridge into the Snake River Canyon, a fun run, food and entertainment and kayak and bike races. Proceeds go to St. Luke’s Magic Valley Health Foundation’s Fund for Children with Special Needs to be put toward special equipment, therapy, special services and counseling. Emily Riley’s woodcut featured the Perrine Bridge, said her mother Nan Riley. It was part of a series of woodcuts of local icons, such as a collapsing barn. Riley, a 1999 graduate of Wood River High School, was a protégé of John Blackburn, a former art teacher and high school principal who now serves as assistant superintendent of the Blaine County School District. She also worked for a spell at the Toneri-Hink gallery in Ketchum. Armed with nearly $30,000 of scholarship money, Riley attended Reed College, a private liberal arts college in Portland, Ore., before receiving a degree in printmaking at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. There, her mother said, “she ruled the print room.” Now living in Portland, Riley has been able to make a living with her arts, even purchasing her aunt’s 1907 Chandler & Price clam letterpress. She also paints, creating what she calls “Tiny Scary Portland Paintings” and jasper paintings of acrylic and charcoal. And she makes etchings, lithographs and serigraphs. “I have the unusual fortune to have parents who were neither determined that I become a wealthy professional nor that I retire my impractical dreams, marry and have a gaggle of squalling country children. They actually support my desire to become an artist, and not just as a hobby, but as a career!” she says. Riley’s paintings, drawings, prints and greeting cards are available at emilyrileyart.com and rxletterpress. tws

t was all about surviving after Muffy Davis careened off a cat track on Bald Mountain, slamming into one tree and then another in a ski accident that left her paralyzed from the chest down. But a few years ago, as she surveyed a room full of women who had dealt with breast cancer, the former Sun Valley ski racer realized that surviving was not enough. “I realized that these women were much more than survivors—they were thrivers. Thriving means not just getting by. It means setting goals and reaching them. It means attacking life,” said Davis, who was at the Susan G. Komen conference as a motivational speaker. Davis, who consistently challenged Picabo Street for the finish line before her accident, has certainly strived to thrive. She earned a run on Baldy named Muffy’s Medals after earning a handful of medals in Paralympics competitions in Nagano, Japan, and Salt Lake City. Then she switched gears, winning three gold medals in handcycle competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She hopes to repeat her success at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In the meantime, she has become a successful motivational speaker who will offer her “SurTHRIVE!” message Memorial Day weekend in Sun Valley when she talks at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival. Davis’ presentation will be at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in the Continental Room of the Sun Valley Inn. Marianna Lee, who was nicknamed Muffy by her mother after a line of dolls, couldn’t conceive of the word thrive as she pummeled her lifeless limbs during three months at the Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver. “I hate my legs! I hate my legs!” screamed the teenager

who worried she would never date again. Then, one morning, when her mother walked in to give her a massage, she found Muffy calm and smiling. “I just had a talk with my Higher Power, and I’m going to be okay,” Davis explained to her mother. “He told me there are many lessons to be gained from this experience, that there are some things I’m going to have to do in this wheelchair. It’s a temporary inconvenience, but it’s okay. And you’re just going to have to be okay with it, too.” Davis set about doing things she’d never had time for while ski racing. She videotaped a campaign speech for junior class president from her hospital bed—and won. The next year she was elected student body president, homecoming queen and valedictorian at Wood River High School. At Stanford University, she graduated with honors and a degree in human biology. She helped out at the local children’s hospital, taking kids with cancer for rides in her chair. She formed a speakers’ bureau of disabled people to clear up misconceptions about people with disabilities. And she served on a number of task forces, earning a prestigious award for special service to the Stanford community. But when she saw her old rival win Olympic silver in Lillehammer, Norway, she sobbed. “I was happy for Picabo but, then, I started realizing where I could have been. It took me a long time before I could call her to congratulate her. I wanted to, but it was really hard,” Davis recalled. While that night was one of the most difficult of Davis’ life, it inspired her to get back on the slopes. Never mind the ski instructors for the disabled who tried to dis-

Footlight Presents Historical Ballet A BY KAREN BOSSICK

nnie Ashfield says she will feel like she’s part of a beautiful part of history when she takes the stage this weekend in “Don Quixote.” “It was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and performed by the Ballet of the Imperial Bolshoi Theater of Moscow in 1869. Being granted the chance to learn some of the original choreography gives us, the dancers, a feeling of being part of the history of this ballet and it gives us the opportunity to share the beauty of it with the audience,” said Ashfield, a dancer with Footlight Dance Centre. Footlight Dance Centre will present the dance production of “Don Quixote” at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater at the Community Campus in Hailey. Graduating senior Alberta Jefferson and Drake Vernoy will portray the young lovers Kitri and Baslio who have been trying in vain to convince Kitri’s father Lorenzo that they want to marry. Drake Arial, a Wood River High School actor, will portray Don Quixote, who is crossing the Spanish countryside in search of knightly deeds and in service of the beautiful Dulcinea. Thinking Kitri is Dulcinea, he comes to her service as the story unfolds. “It’s a lovely little story of love, with Don Quixote journeying to a quaint little village, which has its own story line going on. Innkeeper Lorenzo has betrothed his lovely young daughter to a rich gentleman but she, of course, has fallen in love with a younger man. And, instead of marrying for money, she wants to marry for love,” said Hilarie Neely, the dance company’s artistic director. The story is a classical theme

that appears over and over—a Romeo and Juliet story told in a different world. And it’s a story that has endured in the ballet world. The first and final acts of this weekend’s performances will be told through ballet, the music composed by Leon Minkus. “Because of the complexity of the story of Don Quixote, the only way to express the true meaning of every detail is through the parallel complexity of dance,” said Ashfield. “The emotion expressed through ballet can be completely altered by just a change in the arms.” But Neely has used her artistic liberty to include an act in the middle in order to incorporate hip hop, jazz and other forms of dance into the show. “I’ve created a story within the story where Don Quixote starts battling a windmill that has turned into a monster. He strikes his head and falls into a sleep and in his dream he has all kinds of images running through his head, which we tell with these other dance forms,” Neely said. Other leads include graduating Footlight seniors Emmie Altermatt and Emily Seiller and Wood River High School actor Hayden Mann. They will be joined by company dancers Annie Ashfield, Liza Buell, Chloe Davis, Malila Freeman, Karina Rangel and Lauren Robideaux. In all, 150 young dancers will perform. Tickets are $6, available in advance at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum and at the Iconoclast satellite story in The Modern Mercantile in Hailey. Choreographers include Neely, Christina Arpp, Shellrae Garnes, Julie Fox, Michele Minailo, Kate Weihe, Anne Winton, Jaime Moore and Sheena Phelps. tws

Eggs On The Production Line BY BALI SZABO

O Rachmaninoff Concert Soars Page 7

Let the Game Begin: Ketchum Wide Open is This Saturday Page 11

ne of the remarkable things in the life of a bird is the eggs. No animal lavishes more energy on an egg than a bird. Some observers believe the egg is the most perfect organic creation of nature. Crystals are probably at the top of the inorganic list. The proper drawing of an egg is one of the challenges of art. Eggs are not only energy- (nutrients) rich, they are very large in relation to the size of a parent. In a songbird, an egg is about 10 percent of the bird’s weight, and she has to produce one of these every day until the clutch is complete. She controls the start of ovulation, as well as the start of incubation, so everything starts at once. The birds are born together and fly from the nest together. Once the eggs are laid, no animal stays as close and dotes on them more than a bird. They’ve adapted to handle the Antarctica or a hot desert. The eggs are so well designed and cared for that, in some birds, one or two eggs laid over a lifetime is enough to sustain the species. The body makes mistakes, and it doesn’t do product recalls.

There are oversized two-yolk eggs and ones with no yolk. Yet, there is no such thing as a misshapen egg. In each species the curvatures are precise, like a zero-tolerance machine part. Owls’ and raptors’ eggs are perfectly spherical, while the sandpipers’ are dramatically pointed at one end and almost flat on the other, yet within a species, precision rules. A hard egg is shaped in a soft, fleshy, flexible tube, the oviduct. If the egg is the conservative, there to protect and nurture, its coloration during and after the calcium carbonate shell formation is pure Bohemian madness, with Jackson Pollock in charge. A songbird’s ovum has more than, say, five potential eggs, but only a determinate amount is laid. This way, if the clutch is lost due to bad weather or predation, the bird can start over, if the remaining season allows. There are two basic pigment types for egg coloration. Other egg-layers, like reptiles, have uniformly colored shells. Not birds. One pigment (porphyrin) is blue-green, and is mixed with the liquid calcium, so it’s uniformly distributed. Not long ago I got a rare chicken egg that was

pale green. (The other pigments are vivid reds, blues, yellows, browns and black). They are applied in dots, streaks, blotches and squiggles onto the shell surface. The oviduct has various size openings for glands, through which the colors are squeezed out. The process reminds me of an automated assembly line. The eggs move along a chute, blunt-end first. A stationary or slow-moving egg will get spots. If it speeds up, there will be fewer spots and more streaks. A turning egg will provide lateral striping. It is as if a canvas was moved across a series of stationary brushes. But in icterids and murres (blackbirds, meadowlarks and a few ducks) the pigment zigzags in opposite directions, as if the brushes were moving back and forth across a stationary surface, like in a car wash. There remains a lot we don’t yet know here. Birds, like civilizations, are energy-intensive creatures, so keep those feeders full, and if you have any money left over, send it to Feeding America. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Controlling Aquatic Weeds T he first step toward prevention or control of aquatic weeds is to correctly identify them. Most control methods are aimed at specific plants or groups of plants with similar growth habits. Aquatic weeds are usually separated into four broad categories based on their life form. These are algae, emersed, submersed, and floating vascular plants. Proper design and construction of ponds and ditches are important factors in preventive control of aquatic plants. Management must begin with an evaluation of all uses of a given body of water. To benefit the greatest number of people, manipulate chemical, biological, and physical factors for controlling aquatic weeds to obtain the maximum utilization of the water. Before any control mea-

sures are initiated, determine if any permits are required from appropriate local, state and/or federal agencies. Mechanical Control - Physical removal is effective for small quantities of plants near shorelines. Techniques include cutting, mowing, raking, digging, or pulling. Biological Control - Biological control employs plant or animal agents to eliminate or reduce growth of vegetation or to alter the habitat to favorably change plant growth. Insects, mites, snails, pathogenic microorganisms, fish, ducks, geese, manatees, and competitive plants have all been tried as biological controls for aquatic weeds. Control with Herbicides - Unlike terrestrial herbicides, which are applied to a stationary, twodimensional area, aquatic herbi-

cides are applied to an area that has a third dimension—depth— and often has some degree of motion. Responsible use of aquatic herbicides requires careful consideration of many factors. The most important consideration is the safety of the people using the treated water. Contamination of domestic water supplies, or failure to observe the proper precautions regarding water-use restrictions, may result in health hazards. Most waters are managed for multiple use. The desirability of aquatic plants depends on the point of view of the water user. For more information on aquatic weeds please contact the Blaine County Extension office at 788-5585 or the Blaine County Weed Department at 788-5516.

CFLs Are Dead

W

hat takes a long time to warm up, looks funny, is a pain to get recycled, and contains mercury? Hint: these are the reasons people love to hate compact fluorescent light bulbs (known commonly as CFLs). If you agree, then it’s time to celebrate! CFLs are a dying breed, as declared recently by New York Times columnist David Pogue. Pogue’s even better news is that LED bulbs have just gotten even better! Here’s an excerpt from his article: “LED bulbs are a gigantic improvement over incandescent bulbs and even the compact fluorescents that the world spent several years telling us to buy. LEDs last about 25 times as long as incandescents and three times as long as CFLs; we’re talking maybe 25,000 hours of light. Install one today, and you may not own your house, or even live, long enough to see it burn out.� Plus, LEDs are instantly bright and don’t contain mercury. So why haven’t we been using LED bulbs instead of CFLs all along? Mostly, despite the fact that an LED will save about $200 in replacement bulbs and electricity over 25 years, at $30 each, they just cost too much up front. But finally (cue the drumroll), you can buy LEDs for less than $10. CFLs are dead! Long live the LED! It’s time to start buying them, and next week we recommend good brands. Have a question or want to share your own “why I hate CFLs� story? Join us on Facebook at Environmental Resource tws Center Sun Valley.

Unexpected Benefits

B

y now just about everyone can tick off good reasons to recycle used items, such as less material in a landfill, and job creation. But we wanted to let you know about some of the unexpected benefits of recycling in Blaine County and beyond: Did you know it takes less energy to recycle? Yep, 95 percent less energy is used to produce a recycled can compared to a can made of raw materials. And an aluminum can be back on the shelf as another product in as little as 30 days after being recycled. By diverting glass into an inert pit at Ohio Gulch, we save county taxpayers $40,000 a year, and 9.2 tons of CO2 emissions is saved from hauling glass to outside locations. Recycling can save you money by allowing you to set out your garbage can for pick-up less often. Recycling is good for the environment and your wallet! In 2012, Blaine County saved 2,121,456 pounds of materials from going into our landfill. Let’s try to beat that for 2013! Do you have a question for 5B Recycles?

T

y Reinemann, Wood River High School junior carrying a 4.0 grade point average, has goals that he hopes will inspire and reward his future. One of those is the pursuit of the Congressional Medal Award for outstanding achievement. To earn the award, a student must accomplish a rigorous course that is achieved in three stages—bronze, silver and gold. “Right now I’m working toward a bronze,� Reinemann said. “To achieve it I have to complete one hundred hours of community service, fifty hours toward personal gain and another fifty hours toward physical gain. The main reason I want to do it is because it will show that I am committed to hard work and that I have a very strong work ethic.� For his community service hours Reinemann has dedicated himself to environmental pursuits as he is already vice president of the Environmental Club at Wood River. “I’ve been doing a lot of work with the Environmental Resource Center, helping them in their office. At Christmas we made renewable holiday ornaments out of old papers and magazines. I also worked

on their bingo fundraiser and assisted Fish and Game with planting sagebrush in Bliss to rebuild from last year’s fire damage.� Reinemann also spends time at The Community Library in Ketchum on Saturdays helping out where he is needed. “I’m deeply concerned about the environment and the future of the planet and getting involved is the best way to turn things around. I like to accomplish things and getting involved is so much better than sitting around at home.� Reinemann’s 50 hours for personal gain is being spent on training for his biggest passion—running. “I used to put so much time into Nordic skiing that I didn’t have enough time to run, but I’ve been putting all my focus into it since freshman year. I guess I’m just naturally good at it. Whenever I run I get that runner’s high and feel great and I get to reflect on the day. It’s not hard work once you get good at it.� His freshman year on the cross-country team, Reinemann was an alternate while Wood River won the state 4A title. This year he competed at the state meet and made a good accounting for himself. For his 50 hours of personal

Ty Reinemann

development he has turned to the culinary arts and is learning how to cook healthy for college and for running. “My neighbor has an organic garden and she’s teaching me how to make healthy meals. I also get recipes and experiment with them. I spent five hours cooking a meal for both families and it was a great success and it gave me a lot of confidence. I’m really starting to enjoy it now. It’s important to learn to cook and not always be microwaving. When I go to college I’m going to need to take care of myself.� With the skills Rienemann’s learning for life, taking care of himself should never be a problem. tws Each week, Jonathan Kane will be profiling a local high-school student.

Harden’s New Book is an Eye Opener

Escape From Camp 14: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West By Blaine Harden, hardback, 205 pages, copyright 2012 BY MARGOT VAN HORN

B

laine Harden is a reporter for PBS Frontline and has served as The Washington Post’s bureau chief in East Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. He writes like a reporter and this book is really more of an exposé than anything else. It’s a must read for any of us who have some serious concerns about North Korea. According to Harden, South Korea evidently doesn’t want to deal with the North Korea issue because it can prove to be an economic disaster for them. China doesn’t want to deal with them, either. In fact, most of the world doesn’t want to acknowledge what is truly going on there. The big deal, of course, is what is happening in one of the most presently repressive totalitarian states ever known to mankind. There are very few survivors to talk about this. The concentration camps in North Korea house somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 slaves. These camps do exist and you can even see them yourself online via satellite photos. There have been only several escapees; however, none but one who

had actually been born and raised in a camp in captivity. Shin Dong-hyuk is that escapee/survivor. This story revolves around the lab rat Shin’s camp experiences and his difficulty to integrate into normal Westernized society. In the words of Shin: “I am evolving from being an animal. But it is going very, very slowly. Sometimes I try to cry and laugh like other people, just to see if it feels like anything.” As the author says: “His (Shin’s) context had been twenty-three years in an open-air cage run by men who hanged his mother, shot his brother, crippled his father, murdered pregnant women, beat children to death, taught him to betray his family, and tortured him over fire.” Of course, the North Korean Central News Agency states the following: “There is no ‘human rights issue’ in this country, as everyone leads the most dignified and happy life.” Harden implores that other repressed people have had and do have strong advocates, but that the North Korean dilemma is a hidden one with no advocate. He implores that we do something about this. So, as a followup to Johnson’s “ Orphan Master’s Son,” I heartily recommend this read for an eye-opening experience.

Rachmaninoff Concert Soars STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

“S

lava sviatey i yedinosushchney i zhivotvoriashchey i nerazdelney Troitse, fsegda, nine i prison, i vo veki vekow…” Russian chants reverberated through Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Ketchum Saturday evening as Dr. Jim Jirak led the Boise Master Chorale in Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “All–Night Vigil (Vespers).” “Glory to the holy, consubstantial, life-creating and undivided Trinity…” they sang. “Dnes’ spaseniye miru bist (today salvation has come to the world…).” Local Realtor Tim Eagan and Dick Brightman have spent every day for the past three months listening to the piece on iTunes to learn the Russian and the difficult notes and tonalities that keep most chorales from performing the piece. Thankfully, they didn’t have to learn the Cyrillic alphabet, as well. But they did have to brave deer on the road, snowstorms, fog and even the Camas County sheriff’s patrol cars along Highway 20 every Monday night as they traveled to and from Boise to practice with the chorale—something they’ve done for the past three years. Eagan, in fact, suggested to Jirak that he reprise the piece, which Jirak and the chorale first did about 10 years ago at St. John’s Cathedral in Boise. Ironically, Father Joseph McDonald, the priest at Our Lady of the Snows, was at St. John’s when the concert was performed there. The soaring harmonies of the hundred singers who had passed stiff auditions coupled with Dr. Jim Jirak’s vigorous conducting moves enchanted those who filled the church. Hailey resident Jim Gaz called it

one of the finest examples of singing voices he’s ever heard. “They are well trained,” he added. The concert brought back a flood of memories for Tim Eagan’s wife, Jane Reynolds. As a little girl, she used to crawl under her mother’s piano bench while listening to her mother play Rachmaninoff. Reynolds later performed ballet to the Russian composer’s music. “Rachmaninoff wrote this in two weeks and it’s generally acknowledged as one of his finest works,” she said. “This music goes deep inside you when you study the translation and know what they’re singing. Then I think of how old this music is—it’s probably the deepest spiritual music I’ve ever heard. “It transports you to the great orthodox cathedrals of Moscow, the steppes of Russia, the bitter inter-

minable winters captured so evocatively in ‘Dr. Zhivago’ and into the very soul of the Russian psyche.” The chorale performed the work at the Cathedral of the Rockies in Boise during the annual Boise Music Week. That’s something the Sun Valley area easily has enough talent to copy, Reynolds said. The Rachmaninoff concert was an introductory concert for the chorale in Sun Valley, added Reynolds. “Maybe we can have them perform again here during high season— summer or February,” she said. “Idaho has so much talent—it’s nice to meld the talent in Boise with the talent here. There’s a lot of potential to do more music together. It’s hard for me to believe that in the 38 years of the chorale’s existence they have never made the two-anda-half-hour trek to Sun Valley to perform until this weekend.” tws

Hollywood Finally Gets It Right BY JONATHAN KANE

guess Hollywood finally got it right and seven times is the charm. That is the number of screen adaptations that have tried to get F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary masterpiece faithfully on the screen and it has finally happened with Baz Luhrmann’s exciting and amazingly truthful new version of The Great Gatsby that opened Friday. Long the staple of high school and college literature courses, whether we liked or appreciated it, the novel that captured the Roaring Twenties has long been discussed for its merits and iconic status. Much of the success has to be credited to Luhrmann, as well as Craig Pearce that helped craft the amazingly accurate script. Of course, there are Luhrmann’s incredible visuals that were a trade-

mark of a previous effort – Moulin Rouge. The trailers elicited fears that the film would be one long music video (music has been provided by Jay Z and Beyonce and inserted expertly into the film), but have no fear. The big set pieces, especially Gatsby’s lavish parties, are nothing short of spectacular and Luhrmann has captured it with verve. The quieter moments play beautifully and he shows he also has a great touch with actors. It also doesn’t hurt to have Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby. Now in his prime, the matinee idol is able to convey the confidence of a successful businessman (rumored to be a bootlegger) as well as the man that devoted half his life in the pursuit of a woman—Daisy Buchanan. Played by the excellent Carey Mulligan (An Education) in perhaps the most coveted role in Hollywood, the

actress gives a beautifully subtle performance, although perhaps no actress could live up to Fitzgerald’s evocation of her. The rest of the perfectly cast ensemble certainly carries its weight, especially Tobey Maguire, DiCaprio’s real-life childhood friend, playing the narrator, and Gatsby’s only friend, Nick Carroway. These characters’ shoes are tough to fill but the film does so in spades. The Great Gatsby is the perfect way to kick off the big summer movie season. tws

Green Antelope Gallery Throws End-ofBusiness Celebration BY KAREN BOSSICK

G

reen Antelope Gallery— that homegrown gallery underneath the cool tall oak trees in Bellevue—is closing its doors. But not without a final artists’ reception celebrating seven years of showcasing the talent of local and regional artists. The celebration will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at the gallery, which is located at 116 S. 2nd St. in Bellevue. Photographs from Patagonia by Brooke Bonner, who co-owned the gallery with her mother Helen Bonner, will be featured. Also, new landscape paintings by Lee Higman and a sampling of work from the 22 other artists Green Antelope has had the privilege to represent. Those artists include Ruth Sauerbreit, Craig Wolfrom, Dinah Cross James, Sharon Payne and Sonja Allender. “While we have loved the experience of working with local artists and providing an opportunity for art lovers to appreciate fine art in the South Valley, it is time for us to dedicate

ourselves to other endeavors. I love it down here but we can’t do everything,” said Brooke Bonner. Bonner is already working with Ketchum artist Suzanne Hazlett on the newly formed Wood River Valley Studio Tour. The Studio Tour celebrates the artistic talent of the Wood River Valley community by connecting artists and art lovers though an annual tour of local artist studios to be held each October. This year’s free, self-guided tour, which is modeled after similar ones held in Bellevue the past two years, will be held Oct. 19 and 20. It will feature an artists’ reception from 5 to 8 p.m. that Saturday. Art lovers will be able to visit the artists in their studios from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that Saturday and Sunday. The list of artists so far includes hand papermaker Steven Houts, landscape painter Nolina Burge, botanical illustrator Lisa Holley, sculptor Mark Sheehan and wood carver Glenn Carter. For more information, visit the tour website at www.wrvstudiotour.org. tws

The first ever “Edible Idaho’s Trail Creek Dinner Benefit for The Hunger Coalition” will be held Tuesday, May 21, 6:30 pm, at Sun Valley Resort’s Trail Creek Cabin.

Sponsors of the event include Edible Idaho South Magazine, Sun Valley Resort, Hotel McCall and The Hunger Coalition. A six-course menu will be served in the rustic and romantic Trail Creek Cabin and will include amuse, soup, salad, fish, intermezzo, mains and dessert. Wine pairings will be included with each course. Purveyors include 44o[1]0 North Vodka, Cinder Wines, Huston Vineyards, Telaya Wine Co., Homestead Natural Meats, Ballard Cheese, Blue Sage Farm and Southwind Potatoes.

“Main Street Service”

Stamp Out Hunger Week, Through May 17 Every year the U.S. Postal Service lends a special hand in their communities by hosting the National Association of Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive”. In the Wood River Valley the food drive will take place for a full week May 11-17. “The number of clients we are seeing lately has really risen in this time of slack and we’re grateful for the donations we get to help serve them,” says Naomi Spence, program director at The Hunger Coalition. In its 21st year, the Stamp Out Hunger food drive is held each May because this is a traditionally difficult

time for food banks across the country, when need is high but food donations are low. Given that the majority of mail in the Wood River Valley is delivered at post offices versus at home, our local offices have decided to host the food drive for a full week to give everyone a chance to get involved. For a list of the most needed food items, visit The Hunger Coalition’s website at www.thehungercoalition. org. If you are in need of assistance, call The Hunger Coalition today at 788.0121.

Scott Miley Roofing FOR THE WEEKLY SUN

I

would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to one of the kindest, most humble individuals that I have had the pleasure meeting in our Valley. His name is Scott Miley and he is the owner of Scott Miley Roofing. Scott began his career in the construction business at the age of 13, helping out his uncle, and continued to work in the industry while growing up. He is a Wood River High School graduate and briefly left the Valley

after school, but found his heart pulling him back, where he now lives with his wife and two children. Scott employs between 15 and 20 of our fellow Valley residents, depending on the time of year, and the constant comments that you will hear about Scott is his generosity toward our community and the integrity with which he deals with his customers. I invite you to give Scott a call and allow him to impress you as much as he has me and countless other people in our Valley. tws

Ketchum Wide Open STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s a closely guarded secret. But you can bet your putter that Whiskey Jacques’ is going to come up with something pretty spectacular for this weekend’s Ketchum Wide Open. It has to be pretty spectacular if they’re going to outdo last year’s miniature golf hole, which turned the world of putt-putt on its head with a golf hole sporting lasers, strobe lights, fog and smoke machines, and crazy dance music. “We’ve got to go big,” said Whiskey’s Jason Spicer. “It’s a good event because of all the locals it brings out.” Thirteen Ketchum restaurants and bars will turn the town into one giant putt-putt course on Saturday for the 2013 Ketchum Wide Open. Teams of two can make their way around the course, which features establishments within a block of Main Street, beginning at noon. Competition closes at 5:30 p.m. and awards will be handed out at 6. Awards will be given for best

hole, best costume, youngest player, oldest player and the player who traveled the farthest. And then there’s the Golden Putter Award for the lowest score to par. The establishments creating one-of-a-kind holes are Grumpy’s, Sawtooth Brewery, Whiskey’s, The Cellar Pub, Bluebird Day Café, The Casino, The Sawtooth Club, Rico’s, Smoky Mountain Pizza, Cornerstone Bar and Grill and the Bigwood Golf Course. The Sawtooth Club once created a hole that started with putting the ball down its chimney. This year’s scenario starts with pushing the ball with the club as if it were a pool stick, said Sawtooth Club owner Tom Nickel. “And then it goes from there,” he added. Nearly 300 duffers turned out for last year’s event, said Spicer. “And many more came out to watch and then continued to hang out so it’s a pretty big event and it’s only been getting bigger since they resurrected the event tws a few years ago.”

Medicine and Sun Sensitivity BY LUKE SNELL

T

he days are getting longer and the temperature is rising. Naturally many of us are now spending much more time outdoors with much less clothes on compared to the colder months. This extra exposure to sunlight comes with certain risks. By now most people are aware of the harmful effects that the sun can have on our skin. What you may not be aware of is that certain medications have side effects when people taking them are exposed to the sun. We call this drug-induced sun sensitivity. Photoallergy and phototoxicity are the two main types of sun-sensitizing drug reactions. Photoallergy is less common and can occur after using a medication or other cosmetic product topically on the skin. The ultraviolet (UV) light of the sun actually causes a chemical change in the product which then causes the production of antibodies by the body oftentimes resulting in an eczema-type rash. It usually takes a few days for the rash to appear and the rash can appear in places where the medication or cosmetic product was not applied. Phototoxicity is more common than photoallergy and usually has a much quicker onset – often immediate. Oral, injectable, or even topical doses of medication can all cause phototoxicity. It is called “photo-toxicity” because the combination of the drug and the UV light can become toxic and cause cell death in the skin.

Though this reaction is immediate, it may take a few days for the symptoms to appear. The most common medications that cause sun sensitivity are NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen), diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), tetracycline antibiotics, and amiodarone (heart medication). This is not an all-inclusive list, as there are many other medications (like cholesterol medications) that can cause these reactions, though not as common. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to find out if the medication you are taking has this potential. It is important to understand that this sun sensitivity reaction does not occur for everyone taking these medications. It is also possible for the reaction to happen one time and not happen the next time a person takes the medication and is exposed to sunlight. The best way to protect yourself from having this reaction occur is the same way you protect yourself from skin cancer associated with sun exposure. Protect your skin from the sun with clothing and/or sunscreen. Keep in mind that it is possible, though not likely, for sunscreen to produce a sun-sensitivity reactws tion as well.

DID YOU KNOW: Melissa Arnot Credited With Saving Climbers’ Lives STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

M

elissa Arnot, the Ketchum woman who is attempting to break her own record of four stands atop Mount Everest, made news of a different sort recently. Arnot is getting a big share of the credit for saving three British climbers after they were confronted on Everest by an angry mob. A recent article in the Spokesman-Review told how British climber-photographer Jon Griffith described how he and two companions—Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck and Italian climber Simone Moro—had to flee a mob of up to 100 sherpas they feared

would stone them to death as “years of frustration” boiled over in what he calls a misunderstanding over the use of routes prepared by the sherpa guides. He praised Arnot for warning them that an attack was imminent. “Melissa was a real heroine. She saved Ueli’s life. Without her, he’d be dead. She explained to us in our tent that there was a big mob out looking for us. She said something terrible must have happened. We explained that words had been exchanged but that was it. She stepped out of the tent for a moment and then shouted: ‘They’re coming, get out of here!’” tws

“Melissa was a real heroine. She saved Ueli’s life. Without her, he’d be dead.” –Jon Griffith

Slow Cooking Pork BY MARGOT VAN HORN

T

wo of my guests at my former bed-and-breakfast inn in California decided that they wanted to move from Lake Tahoe to Paso Robles. So they resided in my inn’s cottage for well over a month. They were a lovely young couple and I loved their company. Christy eventually became the manager at an exclusive winery, and her husband Rick, who had been a meat manager in a large market, always loved to cook, and in Paso Robles he ended up working at an exclusive restaurant. This is one of his recipes. I love the ease and simplicity of it. It is sort of a pulled-pork recipe so if you look at comparable recipes, you can also add vinegar, etc., but honestly, I think that Rick’s way is the best. So here it is: Rick’s Slow-Cooked Pork Serves 6-8

Salt and pepper Fresh thyme

Directions: Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Spray with olive oil a large Pyrex dish and then LIBERALLY, and I mean that, spread olive oil over the whole roast; salt and pepper it and spread fresh thyme all over it. Place the roast in the dish. Cook the roast, uncovered, for 6 hours. That’s it — and believe me, moist and delicious is what you get. Of course, this kind of pork goes very well with potato salad and/or beans and coleslaw. Rick also says that you can cook very thick porkchops like this as well. He said to cook them for 1 ½ to 2 hours his slow way.

Heritage Court Marks Milestone: Tenth Year BY KAREN BOSSICK

A

hummingbird enthusiast, cake decorator, horsewoman and on-call minister have been named to the 10th edition of the Blaine County Heritage Court. Laren Price, named to the court by the Hailey Chamber of Commerce, has deep roots in the Wood River Valley thanks to great-grandparents on both sides who came to the area in 1881 during the mining boom. A bookkeeper for many years, Laren volunteers at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church Thrift Shop when not tending to her hummingbird feeders. Dolly Collier and her husband Lin traded their land next to Disneyland, in Anaheim, Calif., for a historic ranch south of Bellevue. Dolly taught cake decorating and cooking with dairy products to 4-H kids. She was nominated by the Bellevue Historical Society. Mary Green, named to the court by the Carey Senior Connection, is an enthusiastic horsewoman who even organized overnight horse camping trips for county employees during her 12-year tenure as county clerk. And Wendy Collins, chosen by the Ketchum-Sun Valley Histori-

cal Society, is an interdenominational minister who worked for several years at the Sagebrush Equine Training Center for the Handicapped when it was on Buttercup Road. The women will be honored with a Coronation Ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 23, at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. The ceremony is open to the public. They also will be feted with a tea at the Sweetwater Commons in Woodside and a luncheon at the Senior Connection in Hailey. And they will ride in a horsedrawn carriage in Hailey’s Days of the Old West Parade, the Carey Pioneer Parade, Ketchum’s Wagon Days Parade and Bellevue’s Labor Day Parade. All of the 42 ladies honored in the past 10 years will be invited to ride in the Hailey Fourth of July Parade as part of the court’s 10th-year celebration. The Heritage Court was founded by history enthusiasts Laura Hall and Teddie Daley in 2004 to celebrate the lives and accomplishments of women who have helped define the Wood River Valley. Hall died last year and a tribute to her will be made at the coronation ceremony. The Heritage Court is sponsored by the Blaine County Historical Museum in Hailey. tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, To say that the real estate market is in a downward spiral is an understatement. I wouldn't mind except I have to move to a new city since being transferred at my job. I want to sell my home, but I think most people turn away because it's an energy pig. My electric and fuel bills have really grown over the years and the recent rate hikes make it look worse. However, I learned that my state offers a tax break for those who make their home more energy efficient. The problem is all the alternatives I've investigated have long payouts. They require a big capital investment up front and can take up to 10 years to break even. I'm all for conserving energy, but not if it'll cost me money. Is it possible to make the energy costs on my home go down without large investments? I really just want to find a buyer for my house.

Cash: As Kermit would say,

"It's not easy being green." However, as fuel prices skyrocket and the cost of heating a home escalates, people are scrambling to find new energy-saving ideas.

Cash: It's unfortunate that you need to sell your home rather quickly. As with any sale, real estate or otherwise, you can always command a higher price when you're not in a rush to sell. However, your need to move could force you to accept a lower offer. Carry: Before you make any improvements to your home, it's important to make an assessment of what will help sell it quickly. After all, while many energy-saving or other improvements can

help make a house more appealing, most will not give you a good return on your investment. Cash: If the goal is to sell your home, then look for areas to improve that will give your house curb appeal and attract potential buyers. For instance, if your windows are drafty and old, new windows could be appealing to buyers. If the old hot water heater doesn't work or leaks, then a new one that works properly and saves energy would be beneficial. Carry: You may be able to make small improvements to help with the sale and save the larger energy-saving ideas for your new home. That way your new neighbors can be "green" with envy.

Even with the continued rise in fuel prices, most Americans still use a large amount of energy. In the United States, nearly one million dollars of energy is used every minute of every day all year long. That translates to nearly $1500 per year for every household. So where does your money go? About 42% is spent on heating and cooling, 36% on electric and appliances, 14% on heating water and 9% on refrigeration.

Switched Off

"Off the Grid" is a phrase used to describe people or homes that live without relying on public utility systems such as natural gas lines, the electric company or municipal water supplies. While this type of living is not for everyone, it has great advantages to saving money and the environment. It is estimated that there are between 180,000 and 250,000 families living off the grid in the US. Since many third world nations have no public utilities, it's estimated that nearly 2 billion people worldwide live "Off the Grid". •

Reader Humor Being Neighborly

Since I met my neighbor and friend 20 years ago, he's been complaining about the rising cost of utility bills. This year he was fanatical about doing something about it. He started by installing solar lights outside and a wood burning stove to heat his home. Then, he lined his entire roof with solar panels to create his electricity. When I was talking with him, he said he eliminated most of his utilities except for the cable television. "Have any ideas for that one?" I asked. "I do," he joked looking at my house. "I was thinking of borrowing it from you!" (Thanks to Jamie H.)

Laughs For Sale

These solar panels seem a bit chilly.

How can anyone be worried or cynical about this country’s future when we have a new generation of people like Brownlee soon entering the U.S. workforce?? GREAT job, Bossick!! :) . The May 6th episode of NBC’s “The Voice” ( itunes.com/TheVoice) was easily one of the very best of the season so far -- with standouts including Amber Carrington, Sarah Simmons, Michelle Chamnel, Caroline Glaser and Judith Hill.

FINANCIAL PLANNING: Women at Risk

T

he majority of long-term care services in this country are provided not by nursing homes—as many may incorrectly assume—but by women in the home. A study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, titled “Where is Long-Term Care Provided?”, found these services were provided by women who are approaching their 50s, are employed full-time and may be responsible for their own children as well as the care of a loved one. In fact, about three-fourths of family caregivers are women. Although men do provide some direct care, it is women who are likely to do most of the “hands-on” care such as bathing and feeding the person in need. In a Genworth survey, “Beyond Dollars: The True Impact of Long-Term Caring,” over a third of surveyed caregivers reported direct negative consequences to their lives. According to a 2009 study by the National Alliance for Caregivers, there are approximately 66 million Americans serving as unpaid family caregivers, with the economic value of this care estimated at $350 billion. Caregiving is an extremely difficult

job and many caregivers show symptoms of decline in physical and mental health. It can have dramatic effects on caregivers’ lives: their marriages, family dynamics, and relationships with friends, and financial security. It is not uncommon for caregivers to have serious health problems. Emotional stresses may include: concern over the recipient’s health and safety; loss of friends due to increased time spent caregiving; feelings of depression; and a sense of guilt over desiring personal time. If you or anyone you know has been a caregiver for just two weeks, most can agree to these feelings. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported elderly people who felt stressed while taking care of a disabled spouse were 63 percent more likely to die within four years than those caregivers who were not feeling stressed. The main reason for this is that caregivers get less sleep, do not exercise and eat properly, and do not keep up with their own medical care. As women age they may be likely to face major challenges as they seek to maintain independence and security. According to the National Center for Health Statistics in 2006, women have a longer life expectancy than men,

outliving them by an average of 20 or more years. Women who reach 65 can expect to live an average of 20 more years, and those who reach 75 can expect to live another 13 years. Upon visiting a nursing home you will notice a large ratio of women to men. Many of us mistakenly believe that traditional health insurance pays for long-term care services. Health insurance pays for medical expenses, doctors’ services and hospital stays. Generally, it will not cover long-term care costs. Research shows that roughly 70 percent of those currently turning 65 will have longterm care needs at some point in their lives. Consider purchasing a longterm care insurance policy to plan for your long-term care needs and ensure protection from these consequences. Please contact me for a free publication by Genworth Financial: “A guide for women and their advisors in preparing for long-term care.”
