A Flyfishing Journey

Bryant Dunn put clients on his most recent trip up in beds in tents on the banks of the Saryu river in India. Dunn’s group also fished the Mahakali on the border with Nepal, the Western Ramganga in northern India, the Cheow Lan in Thailand and the Haa Chhu river, the Mo Chhu river and the Punasang Chhu river in Bhutan. The fishermen rose between 4 and 5 a.m., fishing in tripledigit heat and returning to camp about 7 p.m. where they sat round a fire telling fishing tales until it was time to turn in.

ryant Dunn is beginning to get used to having leopards stroll through his fishing camps. It comes with the territory when you fish for steelhead on the Salmon River one day and then flick your line above exotic rivers with names like Cheow Lan, Haa Chhu, and Saryu a few days later. Dunn operates Flyfish Bhutan and Beyond, the only Western guided excursion taking flyfishermen into the Himalayas. He will present a free slide show of his expeditions to India, Thailand and Bhutan at 6 tonight at The Community Library in Ketchum. The show will combine pictures of 50-pound golden mahseer trout with photos depicting Bhutan’s towering Punakha Dzong palace, prayer flags strung beneath waterfalls and other aspects of a culture so foreign to Westerners. “There’s no experience like flyfishing in the Himalayas. It’s a trip for the truly adventurous—someone who wants to be on the cutting edge of global flyfishing,” said Dunn, who just returned from a month-long fishing trip in the Himalayas. Dunn likes to quip that he was born with a fly rod in his hand. “I can remember sitting on the banks of Silver

Creek and my father hiking me into alpine lakes when I was 5. To me, the fly line is a figurative and literal connection to nature—a direct line with natural forces. It’s naturally addictive,” said Dunn, who grew up in Seattle. As soon as he could, Dunn moved to Sun Valley where he established a home in the heart of Ketchum accessible by a steep dirt road, a steep dirt path and 40 wooden stairs. There he has an unfettered view of the valley below and Bald Mountain where he supervises the Sun Valley Ski Patrol. Dunn leads hunting trips for deer and elk during the fall through his Sun Valley Outfitters. And he guides fly-fishing trips for Silver Creek Outfitters during the spring. Dunn began fishing Bhutan in 2007—shortly after the so-called “Land of the Thunder Dragon” located at the eastern end of the Himalayas opened up for tourism. The number of visitors has climbed from 9,000 to 38,000 in five years, Dunn said, but tourism is still tightly controlled. Dunn was introduced to Bhutan by Ketchum kayaker and filmmaker Gerry Moffat whose American-Bhutanese corporation wanted Dunn to access the “fishability” of the kingdom for a recreational lodge it was building. The rivers in the Himalayas can be as wide as the Thompson and Fraser in British Columbia, Dunn said. Even “creeks” the size of the Big Wood River flowing through Ketchum can hold fish over five feet long. The few fly-fishermen who venture to Bhutan find themselves alone on the rivers because the Bhutanese people’s Buddhist beliefs do not permit them to fish. “The Bhutanese do not fish, although their

Veterans Auxiliary Poppies, to Help us Remember BY KAREN BOSSICK

M

embers of the American Legion Auxiliary will be out offering poppies this week to honor fallen veterans. The poppies are made by veterans in Veterans homes across the nation and modeled after those that grew in Flanders field after World War I. The tradition used to be a big one before it all but died out said Martha Jennings. “But we believe it’s a valuable tradition to maintain,” she added. “The main idea is to wear them and remember what veterans have done for our country,”

Katharine Sheldon’s Mural at Glow

said Jeanne Cassell. Donations received for the poppies will be directed to the Veterans Rehabilitation Fund, a children and youth fund and a scholarship fund that members of the local American Legion award to worthy students. Poppies will be available all day long through Sunday at the Sun Valley/Ketchum Visitors Center in Starbucks. They will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum. They will also be available at an assortment of other places around the valley, including banks and churches. tws

Bike To Work Day Has Record Turnout

I

nterior finish artist Katharine Sheldon, of Hailey, finished up a wall mural at Glow Live Food Café over the weekend. The mural, which serves up a flourish that might be associated with Dr. Seuss, was commissioned by owner Molly Peppo Brown. The tree of life is meant to be alive in keeping with the café’s emphasis on live or plant-based foods that include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains. The café is located at 380 Washington Ave. in Ketchum. PHOTO: KAREN BOSSICK/SUN

BY KAREN BOSSICK More than 400 people—what may have been a record number—took advantage of a beautiful spring morning to pedal up and down the Wood River bike path Friday morning as part of Mountain Rides Bike to Work Day. Haley Van Lieshout and Sean McEntee served up mcmuffin sandwiches featuring a fried egg, bacon and tomato on behalf of Sun Valley Adaptive Sports and Higher Ground, while volunteers for SCOTT USA handed out waffles topped with Vanilla-flavored Maple syrup sweetened with Agave juice in what Sam Cochran called a progressive breakfast along the bike path. Cochran, did his part handing out mini-cinnamon rolls on behalf of Sun Valley’s Pete Lane’s and showing off the new Sun Valley bike jersey, which looked stunning in the early morning sun. Later in the day Jason Miller and Rob Domke served up Kobe Beef Haute Dogs at the Ketchum Town Plaza for all the participants on behalf of Mountain Rides. There were five different categories in Mountain Rides’ 2012 Bike to Work Day Employer/Workplace Challenge. SCOTT USA and Redfish Technology won the overall challenge with 100% participation. SCOTT USA’s employees even biked down the bike path to partake in the

Mon– Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

The Sun Valley Wellness Festival is proud to partner with NALA Productions for a special Thursday evening showing of Decoding Deepak, a new feature-length documentary film that chronicles one year in the life of spiritualist and pop cultural icon Deepak Chopra. The film, which was written, directed and produced by Deepak’s son, filmmaker and journalist Gotham Chopra, follows Deepak as he roadtrips across the world to uncover who Deepak really is, separating the man from the myth with a raw honesty only a son can have. What starts as a decoding of Deepak becomes an examination of himself, and possibly an allegory of a world trying to make sense of itself. The screening is 7 p.m. Thursday, May 24, at the Sun Valley Opera House. Admission: $10

Gallery Walk to Feature Pop-Up Gallery and Shoshone Falls Talk BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

aturday’s Gallery Walk will include a pop-up gallery— that is, a temporary gallery created at Starbucks to showcase art just for the evening. The exhibition was organized by ARTprojectA.com, an e-commerce website that allows art lovers near and far to purchase fine art ranging from $50 to $4,500 from the comfort of their home computers. Gallery Walk participants will be able to see the art of local artists whose work is available on the website from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday. The artists are Kirk Anderson, Kathryn McNeal, Kary Kjesbo, Lisa Holley and Kim Howard. “This is a way for us to advertise our business for all the people who will be in town that weekend,� said website spokesman Carter Hedberg. “And Starbucks will have a wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres to show that it offers much more than just coffee.� The art website offers consumers the confidence that they’re getting curated art at affordable prices, said Hedberg. And website founder Barbi Reed has more than 30 years in the art business, which offers her access to art that others wouldn’t be able to get. The website currently offers more than 500 art pieces from artists all over the world, including a photographer it just landed from the Philippines and a printmaker from England. “We also offer education about buying art,� said Hedberg. “And every time someone makes a purchase they have a choice of donating part of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dealing with such causes as the environment, education, literacy and art.� While Starbucks is serving up art and wine, Peter deLory, the former director of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ photography program, will talk about what motivated him to photograph the Northwest’s iconic waterfalls, including Shoshone Falls, at 6 p.m. at The Center, Fifth and Washington streets. deLory, who now lives in Seattle, resisted doing a series on waterfalls because, he said,

every joker in the world photographs waterfalls. But he began several decades of photographing waterfalls in national parks, cities and even along interstate freeways after watching a blind man stand in front of Yosemite Falls listening to them. “There are more waterfalls in the Northwest than almost anywhere else,� said deLory, who has been a landscape photographer focusing on the American West. “And many of them have become monuments; they’re so well known that I found myself photographing people responding to the falls—the social aspects of the falls as well as the landscape. It’s a very important touchstone for a lot of people.� Courtney Gilbert said The Center’s artistic director Kristin Poole was inspired to create the exhibition, “Shoshone Falls: 3 Perspectives,� by an exhibition The Smithsonian had on Tim O’Sullivan who took an iconic historic photograph of Shoshone Falls on the Snake River at Twin Falls in 1874. The Center’s exhibition includes photographs of the falls in its different seasons and in 2002 when there was almost no water flowing over it. “My favorite part is the paper installation by Wade Kavanaugh and Stephen Nguyen. Even though it’s not a literal representation, it enables you to feel as if you’re enclosed in this very textural environment with light coming through at different angles,� Gilbert said.

Gallery Walk Missing a Sterling Artist

Dear readers: The Memorial Day Gallery Walk—the first of the summer season—finds us with a big chunk missing from the art scene. Lona HymasSmith, whose wood carvings were so realistic that you expected them to chirp, was recently killed in a bicycle accident while biking with friends along the highway near her home in Burley. Kneeland Gallery, which has carried her work forever, returned the pieces it had to her husband Dennis because of his wish to keep his wife’s work in the family. “Lona just posthumously received third place out of 177 entrants in Art and Soul of the Magic Valley in Twin Falls,” said Carey Molter, Kneeland Gallery director. “She has left a big void for us at the gallery.” In honor of Smith and her indomitable spirit, The Weekly Sun is running a story that reporter Karen Bossick wrote for the Twin Falls Times-News for last November’s Thanksgiving Gallery Walk. BY KAREN BOSSICK

here’s only one way to tell the difference between one of Lona Hymas-Smith’s Western tanagers carved out of tupelo gumwood and the real thing. The real bird moves. The Burley woman’s birds and fish are so realistic you can see every feather and every scale. “People ask me how long it took to carve a specific piece and I tell them: Nineteen years. A lifetime. That’s because every piece I do started with research collecting photographs and reading piles of ornithology books in

order to learn everything I could. That’s how I capture the life of what I’m portraying,” she said. Kneeland Gallery has featured Lona’s work for years, her three-dimensional birds and fish fitting in nicely amidst the Western landscape paintings the gallery features. “Her work is so detailed and realistic looking. Absolutely beautiful,” said Carey Molter, the gallery’s director. Though she majored in art at BYU-Idaho, Lona’s odyssey into carving was what she calls “a fluke.” Her sister wanted a cutout of a fish that she could tole paint and so Lona took a hammer, chisel and rasp to a two-by-four piece of pine. “Looking back, that first piece was hideous looking. But my brother-in-law said, ‘I think you can sell these,’ and so it began,” said Lona. “I didn’t know anything about animals—I had done human portraits. But it evolved.” That was then. Now, Lona’s work commands between $1,500 and $20,000 a piece. And her work is featured in such farflung collections as The Mountain Art Gathering in Keystone, Colo., the National Hummingbird Society in Sedona, Ariz., even the Bronx Zoo in New York. Lona has never had formal training. But she’s worked with ornithologists and falconers to learn about the animals she carves. And, eventually she found other artists who were doing the same thing, including Floyd Scholz, considered the most famous raptor carver in the world. Lona plies the trails in the high-desert mountains and takes to the rivers studying the wildlife she carves. Then she returns to the studio outside her home on

When she’s achieved the size she wants she takes a chain saw, band saw and belt sander to the wood, finishing it off with surgical dental power instruments. The tanager featured in her piece titled Western Sunset Bird took a month, working seven to 10 hours a day. Its spindly legs are made from musical instrument wire covered with putty since they’re too delicate to carve. The eyes are made from glass.

land is full of rivers and those rivers are full of fish,” said Dunn. The catch-and-release fishing that Westerners enjoy targets brown trout stocked by the British, and snow trout, which exceed two feet and are feisty fighters. The star, however, is the golden mahseer trout, which Dunn says is the hardest fighting freshwater fish in the world, thanks to the fight it must put up in streams running off the world’s tallest mountains. “The mahseer is not well known among Americans but it’s very well known among Brits and others. It’s very finicky—it’s challenging to present a fly to these fish without spooking them,” he said. “But a dedicated angler has an exceptional chance at landing one.” This past month’s expedition was Dunn’s first into the Indian Himalayas. The jungles echoed with the chatter of monkeys and cries of farmers protecting their buckwheat, potato and rice crops from wild animals. Cobras, tigers and wild poinsettias occasionally filled the picture frames on the group’s cameras. And the fishermen had to keep an eye out for elephants as they made their way to camp. “Where we went was very remote,” said Dunn, who charges a minimum $4,400 for an experience that includes sleeping on beds in tents and meals of chicken, yak cheese and vegetables. “It took five days from the time we left Ketchum traveling by plane, train, automobile, raft and foot to our first cast.” There are more opportunities for flyfishing in India than Bhutan, and the fishing in India is “as exciting and rewarding as any,” said Dunn, who has also fished in Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, the Yucatan Peninsula and Alaska. That said, Dunn has a special fondness for Bhutan’s rivers since he proposed to his wife Debby during one fishing expedi-

ecycling has become an even more interesting topic as people’s understanding of their own environmental impact deepens. The short answer is that the best ski slopes are natural – we don’t need to create mountains of trash by burying it (you may laugh, but I’ve skied on them in the Midwest). Things become complicated when you start looking at product life cycles, destination of recyclables and real cost vs. savings analyses. The answers are no longer black and white, and the number of factors that need to be calculated to create a sustainable program are numerous and often difficult to quantify. Why bother then? Just a few of the benefits of recycling are the conservation of natural resources, the creation of new local jobs and potential local tax benefits. Also, dollars spent on a recycling often take the place of dollars that would be spent on the creation, maintenance and transportation costs of a landfill. Dollars and “sense,” pardon the pun, make for a successful program. How are we doing? According to recent county numbers, we seem to have a fairly successful recycling program, above the national average, but there are certainly opportunities for improvement.

After proposing, Bryant returned to fishing and landed that same trout, finding her fly in the corner of its mouth. Debby told how she showed a Bhutanese woman who was walking to temple how to cast on the side of the road. “They’re not allowed to fish in the river because it’s against their religion. But they’re very curious about us. The people are incredibly kind and generous— always smiling and you feel very safe, very spiritual, there,” she said. While Bryant Dunn says there’s no experience like flyfishing in the Himalayas, he’s quick to praise the fishing in Idaho. “Every fishing situation presents its unique challenges and satisfaction. I like the technical aspects of trout fishing and the natural beauty of Idaho,” he said. “There’s really nothing like fishing steelhead on the Salmon River or trying to fish for trout tws on Silver Creek.”

FREE SLIDE SHOW

Bryant Dunn will present a free slide show on flyfishing in India, Thailand and Bhutan at 6 tonight at The Community Library, 415 Spruce Ave. N., in Ketchum. The presentation is part of the library’s new “Flyfishing Week,” which offers three events spotlighting the sport that is so popular among Central Idahoans, said program director Lauren Zondag. The Idaho Conservation League’s water associate, Marie Callaway Kellner, will present a program on what makes Idaho’s rivers so special and what is being done to keep them pristine, at 6 p.m. Thursday.

earn about Hailey’s “historic crossroads� and more during a free historic walking tour of Hailey at 10 a.m. Saturday. The two-hour tour leaves from the Blaine County Museum at Main and Galena streets. The tour being held as part of Idaho Archaeology and Preservation Month, in which communities around the state offer programs focusing on local history. Robert A. Lonning, who just published “Hailey: Images of America,� will conduct the tour, along with longtime Hailey resident Joan Davies. Among the highlights will be Hailey’s “historic crossroads� at Second and Bullion streets, said Lonning. All four corners on the intersection feature properties on the National Register of

Historic Places. Those are the Masonic Lodge, Beaver Burke’s house, the Wood River Land Trust office and Emmanuel Episcopal Church. In the 1980s a group of citizens, including Davies, tried to have Old Hailey listed on the National Register but were told there was not a high enough concentration of unmodified buildings to qualify, Lonning said. “But this intersection was deemed suitable and we wanted something to celebrate that so we came out with a Historic Crossroads brochure, which is currently available at Hailey City Hall,� he said. The free brochure will be handed out Saturday, along with copies of a new 2012 brochure offering a walking tour of Hailey. Lonning said the free brochure will also be available at the Hailey Chamber of Commerce. tws

art of Hailey’s history is the story of its businesses that lined Main Street 130 years ago. A new book of illustrations compiled by Robert A. Lonning documents Hailey as it looked back in the day (Images of America series-Hailey). Recently, a copy was donated to the Public Library by Ralph Harris. I go to the Library almost every day. One day, there it was! Right inside the front door, mounted atop its wooden cash drawers sat an old NCR cash register. Big. Heavy. Shiny. Nostalgia. The register was donated by local artist/illustrator Ralph Harris. He didn’t have the heart to throw it away and the museum had no room for it. S. J. Friedman, a pioneer founder of Hailey, used the register at his Mercantile store that was located at the corner of W. Carbonate and Main. That building had a sod roof and steel-shuttered windows, which helped it survive the great fire of 1889 that leveled both sides of Main Street. Because of kerosene lamps, wood buildings- fires were commonplace, and structures were rebuilt time and time again. Eventually, the register was headed to the dump only to be rescued by the Harris family. Instead it was re-finished, and a man from NCR got it working again, and in the 1960’s it was placed on display in the Harris store in the 60’s, located near

where the Farmer’s Market is today. Everyone wanted to touch it, to push the buttons, to turn the crank that opened one of the drawers with the great fanfare of a loud bell. It finally seized up from all the misuse and its secrets remain hidden. Ralph’s great granddad moved here in 1881, and started the Harris Furniture and Mortuary in 1893. The family ran the business until the 70’s. The three story building burned in 1889, but its first floor remained intact because of its 3 foot thick brick walls made from Hailey clay. A barn roof cover was put on it and the business moved into it. It burned again in 1935, and again was rebuilt. This time a second floor was added, and made into apartments, where Ralph was born. Ralph Harris graduated from Hailey High in ‘58. He graduated from Idaho State and went on to Art Center School of Design in L.A. He continued his education while in the Marine Corp Air Reserve. He started to teach skiing here in the snowy year of 1969, and remains an active member of the Ski School to this day. tws

briefs Caritas to Present World Premier of Nez Perce: Promises

The Caritas Chorale will present the cantata “Nez Perce: Promises� in Lapwai, on June 23rd at 3:00 p.m. at the Lapwai High School gym. This free concert is a gift to the Nez Perce from the Chorale. This will be the first performance of the piece commissioned by the Chorale and music director Dick Brown. Librettist Diane Josephy Peavey is the daughter of Alvin Josephy, one of the first writers to review Native American history with a truthful and sympathetic eye, and a longtime friend of the Nez Perce. Josephy Peavey spent over two years working with tribal historians and elders on a poetic interpretation of their history after the fateful meeting with the Lewis and Clark expedition. From creation to the tragic flight to Canada, the story reaches high and low points matched by the music of Boise composer David Alan Earnest. Commissioning this work is a great privilege; it is hoped it will have a life of its own. The Caritas Chorale, based in Ketchum, was founded in 2000 to present free classical and traditional concerts to the community. It consists of 40 to 60 singers for each concert and instrumentalists are brought in as needed. Most are from Boise and also play in the Boise Philharmonic. The Chorale has sung in Boise and Idaho Falls as well as throughout the Wood River Valley. It has also taken three singing tours of Europe. This is not a story told from the Nez Perce point of view but is an interpretation by Diane Josephy Peavey and the Caritas Chorale. Each time we practice this piece it becomes more meaningful to us. We hope you are similarly moved. For more information as well as a short video introduction by Dick Brown, please visit our website, caritaschorale.org. The concert will be presented in Sun Valley and Hailey on July 14 and 15, 2012.

Food Photographer to Sign Copies of ‘Ripe’ BY KAREN BOSSICK

P

aulette Phlipot slices into a head of cabbage or a squash with none of the urgency of a chef chopping it up to add to a dish headed for the oven. Phlipot is more intent on discovering the natural essence of the fruit or vegetable in hand. She takes the foodstuff into her studio, turns off the phone, gets into a Zen state and then holds the fruit or vegetable in her hand, studying it from different angles before cutting into it to examine it from yet more angles. The result: “Ripe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables.” The coffee table cookbook offers a revolutionary approach to celebrating the lusciousness of fruits and vegetables and all their mouthwatering uses. It features portraits of green beans and blueberries in ways you’ve never seen them before, along with tasty looking portraits of 75 original recipes that the book’s author Cheryl Sternman Rule concocted for the book. “I think of fruits and vegetables as living things, and I’m trying to find out what makes them extra special,” said Phlipot, a Sun Valley photographer who specializes in food photography. “It takes a lot of patience. Fruits and vegetables are already naturally beautiful—you don’t have to do much to get a beautiful picture. But I want to stimulate my viewers and you’ve got to connect with that pepper to make it visually stimulating.” In the process of striving for that, Phlipot has stood parsnips up vertically to resemble a group of little people gathered around a

bride and groom. She’s pared an orange peel back so it encircles a luscious orange. She’s spread celery stalks apart so they look like pieces of a star-shaped jigsaw puzzle. She’s halved a cabbage, leaving it to resemble Delftware. And she’s sliced into a pomegranate so its seeds spill out. “Have you ever stopped to look at a green bean after you cut it? There are so many intricate details we never see,” she said, as she pointed out the strings winding their way through the center of a watermelon. Phlipot and Rule have been on the book-signing tour from Kennebunkport, Maine, to Los Gatos, Calif., since they introduced their book at the International Association of Culinary Professionals’ annual conference in New York in early April. Phlipot will sign copies of the book for the first time locally from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival outside the Sun Valley Inn Limelight Room. She will also sign books from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at Iconoclast Books, 671 Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. The book, already in its fourth printing, has received rave reviews from the Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, The Oregonian, Publishers Weekly and other media. It is a natural progression for the young woman who has been interested in food since she graduated from Gerber’s.

Phlipot hadn’t even entered kindergarten in Ohio where her father owned a construction firm when her parents introduced her to fine dining, ordering lobster for her and her siblings when their playmates were feasting on beanie weenies. She first picked up a camera to send home pictures of the beauty that surrounded her while working in human resources for Signal Mountain Lodge in Grand Teton National Park. She fell in love with photography and began taking photographs of the food she purchased at a farmer’s market when she went back to school to study photography at the Western Academy of Photography in Victoria, B.C. Phlipot still features the first pictures she took of cherries and chilies that she had dropped into a bowl of water on her website. “I believe in food as medicine so this is a way for me to encourage healthy eating through art,” she said. “And it’s so much easier to point the camera toward something you really understand—your natural passion is bound to come through.” Phlipot took photos for “A

Taste of Wyoming” and “Entertaining Sun Valley Style.” Then, after waiting for another cookbook publisher to come to her, she decided to create her own book. She enlisted Rule, whose “5 Second Rule” won the IACP’s 2012 New Media and Broadcast Award for outstanding culinary blog. The two devised an elaborate scheme to organize a book featuring fruits and vegetables according to a rainbow of colors. The color scheme enables readers to find the broccoli or the plum recipe by looking for the green or red section, which comes through loud and clear on the page edges. Phlipot relied on lighting to make her subjects pop out since the fruit and vegetable pictures are almost monochromatic, with backdrops approximating their colors. She spent a year capturing fruits and vegetables in their various seasons while Rule hunkered down in her San Jose, Calif., kitchen creating and testing recipes and writing a few whimsical paragraphs, a tip and three simple uses for each. “A green bean should pop when you crack it in half. You should hear it. If it’s mute, set it down, take a breath and walk away. Do not purchase quiet beans,” Rule quips. “Once you have your beans back home, break off the stems. If the queen is coming, go ahead and slice them on the diagonal, thus frenching them. But I know in my house the queen hasn’t visited in a good long while, and thus I’ve taken to ripping off the little stemmy heads with my fingers…” Phlipot said she didn’t look for the most beautiful or most perfect looking specimens as she shopped Atkinsons’ Market and

the Wood River Farmer’s Market. Instead, she looked for those with character, such as a “cute squat eggplant” she found at the farmer’s market “I chose ones that were quite everyday—nothing too exotic. The most exotic is the squash blossom, which you can get at the farmer’s market. I don’t use any glues or other tricks food photographers do. I’m not a food stylist—we fixed recipes, shot them and ate them afterwards. I learned to work really quick, rather than spend an hour making Crisco look like ice cream, although it was difficult with the artichoke, which starts turning brown the moment you slice it.” “Ripe” is about to make its debut in Australia and other countries, as well as in eBook. Phlipot says she thinks many readers will want to sit down and read the hard copy but will want eBook so they can cook recipes without spilling something on their books and so that they can look up ingredients when shopping. “Kids love the book because it’s color heavy—and I think that’s great if it helps kids eat more fruits and vegetables,” she said. Phlipot says she hopes the tasty but simple recipes, which include green beans dusted with smoked paprika and pistachio crumbs, will elevate readers’ experience with fruits and vegetables. “Don’t eat your fruits and veggies because your mama told you to. Eat them because you want them in every sense of the word. Because seeing them in the market, at the produce stand… or in the pages of a cookbook accelerates your pulse and makes you very, very hungry,” writes Rule. tws

(227g) dark red cherries, stemmed and pitted (about 1 1/4 cups) 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. balsamic vinegar 1/2 C. (100g) packed light brown sugar 1/3 C. (42g) all-purpose flour 1/2 C. (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 C. (35g) pine nuts, toasted, optional 1/4 C. to 1/2 C. (60 to 120ml) cold heavy cream, for serving Preheat oven to 375°F. (190°C.). Smear a bit of soft butter inside four 8-ounce (227g) crème brûlée dishes and set on a rimmed baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, cherries, granulated sugar, and vinegar. Toss well. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the cold butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse about 35 to 40 times, in short bursts, until the mixture just begins to clump. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the pine nuts. Pack 1 cup of the fruit into each baking dish (mound it high). Divide the topping among the dishes and press to adhere. Bake in the upper third of the oven until the fruit bubbles vigorously and the topping is deep brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature, drizzled generously with cream. Tip: I love the crunch of pine nuts in this recipe, but feel free to leave them out. tws

His charm and screen presence, being as low key as it is, is difficult to describe but it certainly is palpable. With Blount they make both an endearing and compelling couple that serves the genre admirably.

A Report From Paradise STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

V

alley residents often remark that we live in paradise. From our privileged perch we see the carnage in the rest of the U.S. all year long. We had a warmer than usual, light snow winter, and a very typical, slightly early Spring. Ho hum! This is not to say we are immune from trouble. We have our demons. We abut the volcanic hot spot of the Yellowstone ecosystem. Idaho gets about 200 earthquakes per month, mostly unfelt. In the winter, avalanche danger is ever-present. Wildfires are one of our staples, and two years ago they threatened the valley. Persistent droughts and warmer temperatures increase that danger and further reduce our water supply. It is already the warmest year on record. Ten of the last twelve years top that list (last year was 7th). Add a dry winter, drought, dry soils and we’ll have another fiery year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted Idaho, Washington and Oregon to be drier than usual. The AccuWeather forecast indicates exceptionally warm temperatures in the Northern Rockies and the Great Plains. Two major wildfires are raging right now near Ft. Collins, Colo. and fuel-laden eastern Arizona. There have been two obvious things that characterized our present climate change. For one, major weather events are jumping seasons. An October snowstorm wallops New England. A strong hurricane develops in December. Anchorage, Alaska has 80 inches of snow on the ground

Brush fires in eastern Idaho, along I-84.

in July. Natives who have lived in affected areas all of their lives say, ‘I’ve never seen anything like it!’ Officials say it’s the jet stream or La Nina or El Nino, or the Arctic Oscillation, regularly occurring cyclical events that explain little. Secondly, are the extremes. Our weather is mimicking our politics. Americans are fond of all things big, from deficits to a Supersize Happy Meal. Size matters here, and climate change has been very accommodating. Bigger fires. Severe droughts over large areas. Too much rain at once. Bigger floods. Longer and hotter heat waves, more strong tornadoes over an expanding area ( the Southeast), larger storms, like the winter storm twice the size of Texas that hit Alaska. Its a long list. This is also very expensive. Extreme weather events are expected to be more numerous every year, costing us more money. In 2011, the U.S. suffered 14 separate billion+ dollar weather disasters, breaking the previous record of 9 in 2008.

Tropical storm Lee cost $1 billion, hurricane Irene $7 billion. The massive 2011 drought that affected 33 percent of the U.S. from Arizona to the Carolinas cost $10 billion. A lot of times its just over-development, we’re simply in the way, like Joplin and Henryville were in the way of tornadoes. Over the last six years, more than 240 million Americans, 80 percent of our population, has been affected by deadly, violent weather events. Contradictory plights occur at the same time - devastating, unprecedented 1 million acre wildfires in Texas and worst-ever flooding in the Dakotas. New England has massive flooding from Irene and six months later (now) suffers from an unusual drought that is affecting 61 percent of the country, the worst since 2007. Last October, Denver has a record high 80 degree day and then gets a foot of snow two days later. And so it goes, as we survey the landscape from paradise. tws

Senior, Emma Jonson Long Distance Runner BY JONATHAN KANE

E

mma Jonson, Wood River High School senior, has a real passion for fitness. “I just love working out and it’s something that I try to do two hours every day,” she said. “When I’m done it’s a euphoric feeling. What I like to do is run for an hour then jump rope for a half hour then I do core and leg strengthening exercises.” She added “Long distance running is my favorite. Originally I played soccer but my sister, who is three years older, was a soccer star and I didn’t want it to be a competition between us because we were already competitive enough. Also I’m really uncoordinated especially hand/eye. I went on a run one day and just kept on going. I try to do five to ten miles a day and for me it serves as a time to meditate and reflect. What I aspire to is to do a marathon one day. I also like the fact that I can be a competi-

tive person but that I do this for myself.” In college she hopes to major in health and exercise science. “I’m looking at the University of Hawaii and Colorado State University although both are pretty expensive. I’m not really sure what direction I’ll go in but I should know pretty soon.” Her other passion is horses and she has been riding since she was six years old. Her mom’s friend Nadine McWilliams who she says is like a second mother to her introduced her to the

sport. “I learned English style at the Silver Bell Ranch and my horse Bermuda lived to be 28 years old. My earliest memory was when they gave me a lesson on how to fall properly from a horse. They wanted me to purposefully do it, which was the last thing on earth I wanted to do but I did it. There really isn’t a proper way.” She also learned the proper way to care for the animal. “I had to brush the horses and clean the tack room and exercise them every day. I would also retrieve the horses before people would ride.” Her second horse was called Eclipto and he was eighteen hands and three inches. “What I remember most was that I was fourteen years old and that it was a long way down,” she said. “That was at the Lucky 13 Ranch on Buttercup Road. Now I ride at the River Sage Stables south of Bellevue. My horse is named Marabou and normally I ride on the weekends. Today she rides

briefs Zions Bank Donates $100k to CSI Foundation Community members gathered at the College of Southern Idaho Wednesday to mark Zions Bank’s official donation of $100,000 to the CSI Foundation. “It’s not often that we receive a gift of this size,” CSI President Jerry Beck said during the ceremony outside the Student Union Building. “We thank Zions Bank for their commitment to the students of CSI.”

Zions Bank and the foundation will allocate the donation two ways, with $25,000 to fund scholarships for students based on financial need, and the remaining $75,000 to create an endowment to provide scholarships into perpetuity. Zions Bank Eastern Region President Kelly Anderson described CSI as the “crown jewel” of the Magic Valley. “We looked at where we could make

dressage which is actually the horse dancing to music. “It takes years to train and I haven’t competed in a while. Normally I get the horse ready and take them for a ride around the hayfields. Then I take their tack of and put them in the stables. It’s hard to say if riding is something that I’ll pursue in the future because it’s a pretty expensive hobby.” Born at St. Moritz in Sun Valley Johnson has lived her whole life in the valley. Her feelings are mixed. “I love all the outdoor and athletic activities and I love seeing the sky at night but it can be annoying to be in a town

where everyone knows everyone’s business. I’ll probably live in a city like Denver or Boulder but I loved N.Y.C. when we visited. But unfortunately it was just three weeks after 9/11 and a lot of things were shut down like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.” In the meantime she is carrying a 3.5 GPA at Wood River as a senior. “I like it there a lot. It was a nice transition from the Middle School and it wasn’t too stressful. Things didn’t seem to be too overwhelming.” Most things are not out of reach for this young tws lady.

Sam Grossman on Longevity BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

am Grossman made a fortune developing and managing more than 14 million square feet of properties, including the Arizona Biltmore Resort, Biltmore Fashion Park and the Phoenix Spectrum Mall. And, in between snapping up distressed assets in the late 1980s, he wrote a book titled “Win the Food Fight: The 7 Week Victory Diet.” Now Grossman is writing his next book, “The Seven Secrets of Longevity,” which he plans to publish next year. And he will offer a sneak peek to attendees at this weekend’s Sun Valley Wellness Festival when he speaks at 2 p.m. Saturday in Limelight Room A. While Grossman is not a nutritionist or a medical researcher, those bent on joining the lengthening list of centenarians might do well to heed his advice. Grossman, who owns a home in Sun Valley, is still working, helicopter skiing, biking and taking part in high-wind windsurfing activities. “For an 82-year-old man, he’s in amazing shape and he looks like he’s in his early 60s,” said Grossman’s daughter-in-law Pirie Grossman, who lives in Ketchum. “He lives what he preaches. It’s not a complicated diet or exercise regimen. It’s a way of life he’s chosen all his life and it’s given him the stamina and strength to do all that he’s done.” Sam Grossman, whose other home is in Santa Monica, Calif., hedges about giving even a teaser about Saturday’s talk because he says he’s afraid no one will come if he gives it away. It will, he said, include a group of “secrets” designed to help people live a longer, stronger life. He compiled those secrets, he said, from surveys and articles published by MIT, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the American Medical Association (AMA) and others. He also borrowed from Dr. Oz, Dr. Ruth and Oprah. “It’s the kind of stuff that will apply to the average everyday guy who’s getting into the age

bracket where he’s beginning to think, ‘I’d like to stick around and enjoy my grandchildren without my back hurting,” said Grossman, who will present his findings from a layman’s perspective. Grossman may just have good genetics. But his earlier book was ahead of its time in suggesting diet and exercise regimens. It talked about fat and saturated fat (now trans fats) and how foods high in fat and deep-fried in grease can increase cholesterol before that information was widely disseminated. “They just did this huge survey at the Mayo Clinic that said if you don’t eat dinner after 6 you’ll lose weight, “ Grossman said. “I devoted a whole chapter in my book to that. If you can put 14 hours between dinner and breakfast, you’re going to lose weight no matter what you eat. But it’s very hard culturally for people to do that. “We eat no breakfast, a big lunch and a bigger dinner. And we usually eat that dinner at 9, which is a sure disaster for those trying to lose weight. We should breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a pauper. I’m not bragging, but I said that 25 years ago.” Pirie Grossman says Grossman’s regimen has been followed by his son Jim, who parlayed his fitness into becoming a world champion surf kayaker at the 2009 world championship in Por-

This Year’s Sun Valley Wellness Festival

This year’s Sun Valley Wellness Festival will feature a variety of topics ranging from a presentation on how to arrange your home to improve finances, career and other aspects of life to presentations on health. Brain researcher Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor will deliver the keynote speech at 6 p.m. Friday, May 25, describing how she had to rebuild her brain from the inside out after suffering a stroke. Taylor has been interviewed by Oprah and Dr. Oz, among others. John Cole, one of the world’s foremost experts in Qi Gong, will make a couple of presentations. Singer/songwriter Carole King will sign copies of her new book, “A Natural Woman,” from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Sunday outside the Sun Valley Inn Limelight Room. “Saul David Raye, who will speak on inner transformation through the seven levels of energy, is huge in the yoga tradition. And we’ll have a screening of ‘Decoding Deepak,’ which chronicles a year in the life of Deepak Chopra Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House,” said Carol Waller, director of the Sun Valley Wellness Institute. A free Hands-On Wellness Hall showcasing health products and practices will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday in the Sun Valley Inn Limelight Room. The festival has become a signature event for Sun Valley, Waller said: “There are other wellness events around the country but we’re special because we’re relatively small and we’re not taking place in the L.A. Convention Center.” Tickets start at $35 for single speaker presentations and movement classes with $10 tickets for students. Day passes are $95.

If you’re interested in Sam Grossman’s talk, you might also be interested in Dr. Uzzi Reiss’ talk at 11:15 a.m. Saturday in the Continental Room, said Pirie Grossman, who serves on the Wellness Festival’s board of directors. Reiss, who opened the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center, was one of the first physicians to be board certified in anti-aging medicine by the American Association of AntiAging Medicine. He will talk about “Hormonal Optimization for AntiAging.” “He’s world famous and fascinating,” said Grossman.

tugal. His brother John Grossman beat him out in 2003. Jim Grossman also paraglided cross-country from Ventura, Calif., to Kitty Hawk, N.C., with Will Gadd. His two children now enjoy eating Grandpa Bop Bop’s breakfasts of oatmeal and fresh fruit smoothies made of berries and watermelon. “I’ve learned from Sam and we’re trying to teach the kids. His is a simple plan of eating clean, living clean, playing clean—everything in moderation,” Pirie Grossman said. “He doesn’t talk about taking away anything but just using some common sense and moderation. And after so many days and weeks and months of that you get to live and look like he does.” tws

Rental Properties in Demand BY ANA TORRES, MORTGAGE SOLUTIONS

H

omeownership has fallen to its lowest rate in 15 years this last quarter, down from the peak in 2004. Many of those who purchased at the height of the market are now renters. With rental vacancy dropping, the growing demand has put a bit of pressure on rental markets. The abundance of discount properties on the market have attracted savvy investors who have been purchasing distressed properties, fixing them up and renting them out. With rental properties in demand and real estate prices at all-time lows, many are wondering if now is the time to invest. The following are a few questions to consider that will help you come up with the best answer for your specific financial situation. What kind of down payment am I able to make? During the housing boom, piggyback loans were the norm and many individuals were able to purchase houses with no money down. These days, mortgage insurance and substantial down payments are back and are here to stay. Of course, a 10 percent (preferably 20 percent) down payment is desired, but it is not necessarily required. For those who aren’t able to offer 10 percent, there are a few zero or low down payment programs offered by the federal government. Contact your mortgage professional to discuss the program that fits your homeownership goals. What’s my credit score? Many factors can influence the terms of a loan, but your credit score has the greatest impact. If

your score isn’t in tip-top shape, your lender may require you to pay a fee (also known as points) to obtain the low mortgage rate. Can I afford a monthly mortgage? A house should be a blessing, not a curse. Property payments should typically be 25 percent or less of your household’s monthly take-home pay. If not, then you may be pushing your financial limits. Calculate your debt-to-income ratio to gain an understanding of what you can comfortably afford and contact your mortgage specialist to help you calculate your monthly mortgage costs. Do I have money put aside for extra expenses? In addition to the items mentioned above, potential homeowners and investors must also prepare for any additional expenses including, property taxes, utilities and insurance which will provide protection against theft, fire and other natural disasters. Make use of mortgage specialists’ expert knowledge. Working with professionals throughout the mortgage and property purchase process ensures you understand the regulations and laws specific to your city and will keep you from being wrapped up in all the red tape and paperwork. Shopping for property should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Rely on the experts to keep you informed and sane throughout this exciting and, often times, overwhelming tws process.

Predictable Preakness BY BALI SZABO

N

ever bet on a horserace, but you could have bet on this one, which ran its course as advertised. The prerace scenario was presented as a re-run of the Kentucky Derby, but 1/2 furlong (1/16th mile) shorter. Bodemeister would be in the lead and I’ll Have Another would try to run him down at the end. That’s exactly what happened as I’ll Have Another took the first two jewels of the Triple Crown in a win at the wire. After the Kentucky Derby, it was obvious that Bob Baffert’s Bodemeister was a one trick pony with the motto, ‘catch me if you can.’ He broke into the lead

and kept it until the last few strides. Pretension and Creative Cause stayed on his tail, and I’ll Have Another was right there as well. On the turn for home, the stage was set. Pretension faded, and it was three California horses heading for the wire. In the last half furlong, in a perfect bit of timing, I’ll Have Another kicked it into gear, ran past Creative Cause and barely overtook a game Bodemeister by half a head. We haven’t seen identical 1-2 finishes since Affirmed won the Triple Crown. We’ll know in three weeks, in the 1 1/2 mile Belmont Stakes whether history can repeat itself, and if I’ll Have Another can indeed have another.

ourteen Wood River High School girls rocked The Liberty Theatre last week as Colla Voce put its unusual twist on such well-loved songs as “California Dreaming,� “You Don’t Own Me,� “Hallelujah� and even “Respect.� The girls sang so well and seemed so comfortable on stage that it was often difficult to remember they were high school students. But did you know that several of them took it up a notch, arranging the songs they sang? The arrangers were Bella Stimac, Mary Petzke, Kirby Shaw, Lauren Lichtenberg and Jonnie Pedersen. Lucy Brannon went one further, singing a song she’d composed called “Take My Hand.� Other girls in Colla Voce: Sarah Arters, Taylor Berntson,

Liza Buell, Rachel Conover, Gracie Eagan, Lauren Jacobs, Anastasia Maricich, Emma Poe and Anastasia Poklemba. The three concerts gave the Valley one last chance to see the ever-entertaining B-Tones as well, as they played out the Jets’ “Gee, Officer Krupke,� from “West Side Story.� The B-Tones are comprised of Nolan Arters, William Ashfield, Jason Black, Sam Brown, River Curtis, Drew Deffe, Victor Farfan, Caleb Garvin, Cutter Grathwahl, Nathan Kniffen, Andy Mallea, Kole Mauldin, Max Mauldin and Michael Moffett. Meanwhile, the Wood River bands ended their Monday night concert on a high note as band director Tony Randall was able to take in the concert. Randall has been recovering from injuries he suffered when a car hit him during a ground blizzard tws near Timmerman Hill.

emorial Day is just around the corner so of course, I’m thinking red, white and blue. This day used to be known as Decoration Day. It originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union solders. By the 20th Century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It usually marks the beginning of our summer vacation season as Labor Day indeed marks the end. So, for breakfast or brunch, either as a main dish or as a desert, here is a red, white and blue dish for everyone to enjoy. It can be served warm or cool and most of it can be made the day before—so easy for the hostess.

Triple-Berry Bread Pudding

Serves 12 You will need the following: 9 X 13 inch baking dish, and 2-3 qt. saucepan

Make the custard

Ingredients: 7 large egg yolks 3 large eggs 1 C. granulated sugar 6 C. Half and Half 1 tsp. salt 1 Tbs. vanilla extract

Bread

Cut one day old brioche or challah bread into 3 cups worth of 1 inch bread cubes

Berries

(Think red, white and blue of course). 3 ½ C. fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. If frozen, defrost before adding the pudding and drain most of the liquid. It’s best with the fresh berries and they are in the markets now.

Custard Instructions

Whisk the yolks and eggs and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the sugar and salt until totally blended. Slightly heat the half and half and slowly whisk into the egg mixture. Do it slowly so as to not have your eggs scramble. Place the bread cubes in a 9 X 13 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray and pour the custard on top making sure that the bread is submerged. Let cool at room temp about an hour; cover with plastic wrap; and refrigerate for at least 5 hours and up to 24 hours. The next day, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Before baking, gently fold in the berries. Cover the pudding loosely with foil and bake at 325 for 70 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until no liquid custard is visible when you poke a small hole in the center with a paring knife, 20 to 40 minutes more depending on the custard or add-ins. Total baking time can be 90 to 110 minutes. Let the pudding cool on a rack. Serve warm at room temp with a dollop of whipped cream or good rich plain yogurt or French vanilla ice cream. A lovely bowl filled with more berries and a little American flag in it placed beside this dish never hurts the eye or digestive track either. More berries the tws better I say.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, A few years ago I thought I found the perfect situation when I rented an upstairs apartment. In exchange for a discount on the rent, the little old woman who owned the house asked that I mow the lawn once a week. She even supplied the mower. However, over the past several months she's been asking me to do more and more chores. Now in addition to mowing, I have to rake the leaves, clean the gutters and even trim the hedges. Last week she asked me to paint her mailbox and sweep the walkway. I don't mind helping, but I'd prefer not to spend my Saturday's working around her house. I'd move, but it is a great apartment for the price. Any ideas on how I can get out of doing these chores without increasing my rent?

Carry: You sound like every

kid who wants his allowance, but doesn't want to do his chores. Next thing you know, you'll be faking a cold to stay home from work. Cash: Actually, you've been very polite in helping out your landlord. However, she has also

Fast Facts Off the Clock

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 05/20/12 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

been generous in offering you a discount on the rent. Carry: It seems she finds giving you a break on the rent the easiest way to ask for your help. It's obvious that she has come to trust you over the years. If she were your next-door neighbor, you'd probably offer to help her occasionally without compensation. Cash: However, if you find she keeps adding to your to-do list and you want to enjoy your Saturdays, you need to take a different approach. It's difficult to abandon the chores since she continues to give you a discounted rent in exchange for some help. Carry: Add up the amount of

time you spend helping and calculate its worth. If she's discounting your rent accordingly, then you're in good shape. Do a few chores now and then to help her out and call it a day. Cash: However, if the scales are tipped to her advantage, try this approach. Ask her to make a prioritized list of the things she needs done. Then, review the list with her and tell her which chores you have the time to help with that month. Carry: It is possible that your landlord doesn't realize how much she asks of you. Once she writes it down, she may appreciate the amount of work that you do and limit her future requests.

Reader Humor Just Like Dad

Volunteering is a great way to make yourself and others around you feel better. Each year, more than 25% of the U.S. population, over 65 million people, volunteered for various organizations, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics. Those between the ages of 35 to 44 are the most likely to volunteer (34%), closely followed by 45 to 54-year-olds (32%). Teenagers also have a high volunteer rate of about 30%, likely due to the promotion of volunteer activities at schools. Those in their early twenties have the lowest volunteer rates, at only around 19%.

My husband and I are amazed at how quickly our son Josh can learn. For his fifth birthday we gave him a toy toolbox we bought at a yard sale. After only a day of following his father around the garage, Josh came into the living room to show me what he had learned. "Daddy used a screwdriver to fix the lawnmower,� Josh proclaimed. "Very good," I cheered. "And he used a hammer to fix the birdhouse," he said pulling one from his toolbox. "That’s excellent," I praised. "And what did daddy use when he cut the piece of wood." Josh looked puzzled for a moment as he searched through his toolbox. Standing up empty handed he replied, "That’s easy. Band-Aids!" (Thanks to Faith H.)

Taxed Off

When your neighbor goes on vacation, you might feed their cat. In exchange, they might mow your lawn when you travel. Bartering is something we all do from time to time. However, businesses that barter their services must declare it on their taxes. According to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, bartered services are equivalent to selling the service and is therefore treated as taxable income. •

The Sawtooth Music Festival continues in 2012 with two days of music and camping at the foot of the Sawtooth Mountains in Stanley, Idaho. Seattle band The Cave Singers headlines Saturday night with their rambling guitar lines, soft shakers, pattering drums, and vocal harmonies so pretty they make the melodies tremble.
