Symphony STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
he Sun Valley Summer Symphony hit high notes the past few days with the melodic Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 and Respighi’s “Pines of Rome,� along with Gustav Mahler’s ambitious Sixth Symphony. Sunday’s lighter side enthralled symphony-goers with Richard Strauss’ ode to “Sunrise,� which was popularized in “2001: A Space Odyssey,� and Jacques Offenbach’s “Galop,� more popularly known as the “Can Can,� from “Orpheus in the Underworld.� Guest pianist Jon Kimura Parker endeared himself to Sunday evening’s crowd with Rachmaninoff’s wickedly played “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini,� followed by a Billy Joel encore dedicated to concert sponsor Dan Drackett and yet another encore—a “Happy Birthday� piece for Alasdair Neale couched in a Tchaikovsky piece. Like it or not, the 2012 season draws to a close this week. But not before Sun Valley’s favorite detective novelist Ridley Pearson, who has maintained a full-time or parttime residence in Sun Valley for more than 30 years, narrates “Cowboy Bill� in Saturday’s Family Concert. The concert, which begins at 2 p.m. Saturday, will feature Aaron Copland’s “Hoedown� from “Rodeo,� followed by the world premiere of “Cowboy Bill.� The piece was commissioned by the symphony and written by Alex Orfaly, a timpanist for the symphony for the past five seasons. The symphony premiered his “Mean Man’s March� last season. Orfaly says the piece came to him during his long drives between his home in Boston and Sun Valley. The family concert will be preceded by the 33rd Annual Doll Buggy Parade at 1:30 p.m. Young’uns are encouraged to dress up as cowboys and cowgirls and march from the Sun Valley Inn to the Sun Valley Pavilion. Other concerts this week: Thursday—The Musicians’ Choice Chamber Music Concert features the symphony’s own percussionist Joseph Tompkins’ “Boardgames,� which he says can be recreated anywhere that has a 2-by-4 boards and a hardware store. Also, Wolfgang Mozart’s “Serenade No. 11� for wind octet and Johannes Brahms’ “Piano Quartet No. 3.� Friday—Violinist James Ehnes, whose 25 recordings have received critical acclaim, will play Jean Sibelius’ “Concerto for Violin.� Also on tap: Edvard Grieg’s “Suite No. 1� from “Peer Gynt.� Sunday—The orchestra will play Samuel Barber’s overture to “The School for Scandal� and Antonin Dvorak’s “Symphony No. 9, From the New World,� which was influenced by the African-American and Native American melodies Dvorak heard in

15-Year-Old Jack O’Gara Rides ‘Em & Raises ‘Em‌
•
Jack O’Gara says he knows his bulls are having fun when they begin chasing him around the arena. STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
page out of David and Goliath unfolds every time Jack O’Gara lowers his body into a rodeo chute. There, O’Gara anchors his 5-foot-6, 95pound body atop 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of writhing bull that wants nothing more than to twist and turn and buck him off. O’Gara has wanted nothing more since he could walk and talk. And now, at 15, he not only rides the bulls, he raises and works Brahma bulls on his father’s ranch south of Bellevue. Up to 15 of those Silver Spring Bucking Bulls are expected to appear in Saturday’s Professional Bull Riders (PBR) competition at the Sawtooth Rangers rodeo arena in Hailey. The PBR Classic starts at 7 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available at Atkinsons’ Markets and from the Hailey Chamber of Commerce. Among the bulls O’Gara will parade into the ring: Country Bumpkin, who has yet to be ridden by anyone for eight seconds. The four-year-old, 1,500-pound bull is currently ranked 27th in the world. “These guys are all superstars,� said O’Gara. “And once you get on for the first time, it’s like a non-stop addiction. If you stay on for the full eight seconds, it feels as if you’ve conquered the world—hats in the air!� The bulls command between $20,000 and a million dollars each in a “national obsession� that’s become the third largest spectator sport in the United States behind NASCAR and UFC cage fighting, said Judd Mortensen, a bull rider who has competed in the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil.
“Bulls are America’s modern-day gladiators—they love playing the game of bucking off cowboys,� Mortensen added. “PBR is two hours of non-stop bucking to rock and roll music. And the Hailey arena is awesome—it’ll put people right on top of the action. If the people show up, we’ll be there year after year.� O’Gara cut his teeth learning bull riding at world champion bull rider Gary Leffew’s Bull Riding School in Nipomo, Calif. “Gary talks about how a bull rider has two zones—the power zone and the house of pain. Once the bull starts kicking, you want your hand under your crotch holding that leather strap. If it’s out in front of you, you have no leverage and you end up in the eye of the hurricane, in the house of pain,� O’Gara said. “You hunker down, get over them,� added Mortensen. “If they beat you out of the chute, you’re not going to win.� Despite his small stature, O’Gara easily picks up a hundred pounds of fence in the process of directing his bulls to the right corral. He also runs several miles a week and lifts weights, knowing that he’ll use every muscle in his body to stay atop the bulls for those eight precious seconds. O’Gara visualizes himself riding a bull to a successful conclusion as he drifts off to sleep each night. “The subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between real and fake so you can get good at bull riding then,� he said. With a little bull riding under his belt, O’Gara talked his father, Tom O’Gara, into letting him raise bulls with names like “Hit Man.� “My dad had 800 purebred Angus cat-
“If you stay on for the full eight seconds, it feels as if you’ve conquered the world—hats in the air!� –Jack O’gara
tle and I never liked them because I didn’t find anything fun about them,� O’Gara said. “Bulls are all different. They’re extremely smart, they have attitude. They’re fun to watch from the time they grow up. Once I realized how amazing bulls are, I realized I didn’t want to just ride them—I wanted to own them.� Young O’Gara feeds each bull between 40 and 50 pounds of alfalfa or grass hay each day. He exercises them by running them in circles. When they’re two years old, he puts mechanical dummies on their backs, hitting a remote button that bucks the dummies off at six seconds. When they’re three, he puts a real rider on.

argery Friedlander looks as if she’s laying out a puzzle as she lays out five copper plates in the Hailey print studio of Nate Galpin and Jen Galpin-Mikesh. With a little ink and pressure from a press, these etchings will make up a work of art that will find its way into this weekend’s Sun Valley Center Arts and Crafts Festival. “I’m a process person. I like problem solving and that’s what this is about,” said Friedlander, who is a newcomer among the hundred-plus artists who were invited to participate in the juried show. “I can lose myself doing this. It’s like meditation for me.” Friedlander started her art career learning water painting under the tutelage of Kim Howard, a Hailey artist known for her whimsical children’s illustrations. But she soon found herself drawn to the millenniaold medium of printmaking after watching another artist work in Jen’s studio nine years ago. It’s a time-consuming process that starts with tracing the

Digital Photos That Look Like Paintings BY KAREN BOSSICK

arybeth Flower and Joe Bauwens take thousands of photographs on their digital cameras. But you’d swear that many were paintings, thanks to the abstract quality they’ve given them as they take the images and print them on watercolor paper. Caspian Lake sunrises take on an incandescent fiery glow; Lake Creek aspens take on a beautiful feeling of motion that you would never see in real time. “I think of my work as painting with my camera. The more painterly my work looks, the happier I am,” said Flower, who often takes thousands of photos before she prints one. Both Flower and Bauwens have won awards from Color Magazine for their bold and colorful work. The magazine honored Bauwen for a photograph of Sun Peak in Ketchum that he entitled “Snow Maiden” and a photograph he took at the Humboldt Sink in Nevada entitled “Blue Desert.”

Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament Continues Every August for the past 35 years the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament in Sun Valley has gathered celebrities, sponsors, participants, members of Congress and supporters with one common goal: the cure for cancer and leukemia. Started in 1976 by Harmon Killebrew and Ralph Harding, in memory of Minnesota Twins shortstop Danny Thompson, the tournament is now

Last August the board of directors voted to honor the memory of Harmon Killebrew and his many contributions by adding the Killebrew name to its title.

Dumke’s Barbie Pics STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
W
here’s Barbie? You’ll find America’s leading plastic vinyl celebrity at the Sun Valley Center Arts and Crafts Festival this weekend. But, before she turned up there, she was in Cuba, at the Eiffel Tower, on a Paris carousel and in Monet’s Garden. Sun Valley photographer Sue Dumke is debuting her collection of Barbie photographs at the 44th annual Sun Valley Center Arts and Crafts Festival, which will be held Friday through Sunday at Atkinson Park in Ketchum. The Barbie collection is her newest foray in a portfolio that includes tropical flowers and Buddhas on glossy metallic canvases and black and white photographs of Hemingway haunts, which culminated in a unique portrait of Ernest Hemingway made up of 34,000 tiny pictures that is being exhibited outside Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum this summer. Dumke said she found an abandoned Barbie doll while staying in a resort in Oman and began taking pictures of the doll as a lark. “Now she goes with me everywhere,” said Dumke, who now also shoots Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and even Kate and William dolls in various places. Dumke, who sells her work at Steve Wynn’s Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas, says her metal images are waterproof and UV-proof. “We’ve had a Buddha outside for years now and it looks the same as the day we installed it,” she said. Dumke says she plans to keep adding to all of her collections. This year, for instance, she plans to add to her list of Hemingway haunts in Key West, Cuba and, possibly, Spain. “When I go to all these places, everybody’s still talking about Hemingway—it’s wild,” she said. Of course, Barbie will go, too. “I find she just puts a big smile on people’s faces.” tws
Sun Valley Ski Academy Struts Its Stuff STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
s Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers broke into song, a couple hundred people sitting in Kipp Nelson’s outdoor amphitheater outside his home in Adam’s Gulch leapt to their feet and started pumping their fists in the air and wiggling around on their feet. The charged-up atmosphere resembled the same kind of excitement that seems to have unfolded around the new Sun Valley Ski Academy. The academy—a joint venture between Community School and the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation—has 55 enrollees as it heads into its second season with at least a few more expected to join, said Community School Headmaster David Holmes. The academy tailors college preparatory curriculum for athletes aspiring to compete on a world-class level in snowboarding and alpine, freestyle and cross country skiing. And the dormitory the academy set up in a former ski lodge at the base of Warm Springs has 23 international and other students, with a couple enrollees pending, said Jessica Wasilewski, the dormitory director. Last year it had eight—four of whom came from China. “When we talked about this last year, we talked about three secret weapons: Baldy, the teachers and coaches,” said Steve Shafran told about 300 people, including ski coaches and parents of ski racers. Selling three-time Olympian Jonna Mendes on the facility and Sun Valley, and hiring her as recruitment director, was the most
important sale the academy has made, added Shafran, describing how Mendes has canvassed ski towns across the West recruiting students for the new academy. Shafran said the academy has several new “incredibly fast” alpine skiers. Six of the families who visited decided to move here and, consequently, will add to the local economy. “The kind of people we’re going to attract is going to make all our lives much richer,” Steve Shafran said. The evening will likely have raised about $100,000, thanks in part to an anonymous match, when all the pledges are accounted for, said Holmes. The money will be used for merit scholarships for skiers with great potential and outstanding students. “I’m really excited about the progress we’ve made in the first year. When you set out to do something new, you’re never sure you’re going to succeed. But terrific momentum has been made in developing awareness of the Ski Academy and Community School,” he said. “I think it will promote more young people moving into the valley,” said supporter Grady Burnett. “We certainly have the environment to attract people from all over the world. As kids come, the families will come and it’ll create a universal community.” Holmes said organizers hope to build a dormitory on The Community School’s Trail Creek campus by the fall of 2014 or 2015. The current residential facility has nearly reached its capacity of 25. “The ski academy is an enterprise that touches the

y life is being made easier by some of the flowers of the Habitat, which balances the nuisance of the invasives. I’ve long ago decided that nature should make some of the decisions, and she has, and there’s more to go. Some things have migrated here, like they do to many vacant lots. Others have grown from scattered seed, or have been purchased and are re-seeding. Because I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach, I need to figure out what will grow in each plot. Differentiation is important. For one thing, it provides different colors and various flowering times from May to October. More plant varieties mean more insects and more birds. The Habitat is like life in our sunny little valley—there’s always something going on. Of the many migrants, several stand out. A migrant is any plant that shows up on its own, or shows up where it wasn’t planted. Years ago, a Rocky Mountain penstemon got here on its own, one stalk. Word gets around. I gave it some encouragement and now have a hundred. They populate neglected, nasty areas as happily as they do cultivated plots. The soil here is contentious and problematic, so I need plants to tell me where they want to grow. Scarlet gilia are perpetuating themselves happily, but only in specific areas. They are ascetics, like the St. Francis of Assisi statue they grow around. They know their friends—the fescue, the showy milkweed, the buckwheat—and the rocks and clay. I bought a tanacetum niveum from California, and it thinks this is paradise. It’s a small, lacy, small-flower yellow and

white daisy and it shrubs out, several feet wide and two feet tall, a profuse bloomer for about a month. The seedlings grow in the worst hardpan, or in the comfort of good garden soil, though there’s not much of that here. Like most plants close to the ground, the seedlings sprout nearby. Because of the nature of wind and the lack of obstacles higher up, tall plants migrate farther (except dandelions). One of my favorite wild plants is a dianthus pinifolius, a carnation. It has the morphology of a florist’s carnation, but the blossom, at the end of a long stem, is a cluster of small, vivid violet blooms, and it’s starting to seed the neighborhood. It likes a looser, more aerated soil boosted with bonemeal. That’s not asking for much. The prevailing wind here is from the southwest, and this year, lo and behold, I found several of them downwind in a small meadow I’ve been trying to establish to be self-perpetuating for years. I was overjoyed. like my plants, I don’t ask for much. Finally, there’s what I think is a coreopsis, a yellow daisy with a yellow center, smallish triangular leaves, whose roots are under an aspen log (more moisture retention). The plant just arrived, and it’s a survivor, growing where little else does, in poor soil and hot exposed sites. In its third year, it has started to travel downwind, its fluffy seedheads readily airborne. Some landed in tall sage and rabbitbrush, so they simply grew differently—from a small bush form to tall and lanky. Now that I know these plants’ habits and preferences, I can assist in the seeding, like Johnny Appleseed. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

e are privileged to live in a place of spectacular natural beauty. One cost of that privilege should be a responsibility to tread softly, preserving it for future generations. One way to do that is to think before we act – reduce, reuse and recycle. Part of the beauty of this place lies in its remoteness. That necessitates that everything must travel great distances to get here and then flow back down the valley when we are done with it. Reducing your material consumption could be the most important thing you do to reduce your “footprintâ€? on this area ‌ and the planet. Think before you buy. Support products that make an effort to reduce their packaging. Shopping locally is also helpful. Not only are you supporting local merchants who provide our jobs and tax revenue, but you are also eliminating unnecessary trips up and down the valley, either personally or by a delivery service. Next, think again. When you are done with something, can it be used by someone else, or for some other purpose? Be creative. And, lastly, before it goes in the trash, ask yourself if it can be recycled. Please make the effort. It is worth it for all of us. tws Have a question, or want to write your own ERCbeat?

ne hundred years of 4-H tradition is carried through to the fair in Blaine County the second week of August. 4-H has helped shape today’s youth and continues to create outstanding citizens within our community by developing leadership and citizenship abilities. Families stay connected to the program as they become club leaders or enroll their children in 4-H. At the fair, youth display their projects by showing their animals and completed record books. This is the final step in a busy project year. Youth are required to turn in a “record book� at the fair that encourages business development and record-keeping skills. They write

Service learning is a term used in 4-H because kids give back to their community and learn life skills that can be used as they progress to the workforce.

NO BULL, from page 1
BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
Jack O’Gara rides a practice bull at home that will walk away if he falls off.
“Some bulls have it in their blood—they’re amped up, they just want to buck people off. Others don’t want any part of it at all,” he said, adding that the most prized bulls have massage therapists and chiropractors. O’Gara is too young to compete in PBR events. But he has ridden bulls in California high school rodeos and Idaho Cowboys Association rodeos. He was knocked out in last year’s July Fourth rodeo in Hailey, sustaining a bruised spinal cord and two broken ribs. Two months later he got back in the chute. “Getting bucked off is part of it,” he shrugged. “You can’t ride every bull; you’re gonna get bucked off. Bull riding is the most dangerous sport there is—every bull rider will get Life Flighted or leave the arena on crutches at some point during his career. But even guys who end up paralyzed—all they want to do is ride again.” One of the most dangerous places for a bull rider is the 6by-3-foot bucking chute where a rider risks having a leg crushed by a bull who gets tired or bored and leans one way or the other. When the gate is raised and the bull moves, everything goes silent and everything slows in time, O’Gara said. “If he’s slamming side to side in the chute, you know he’s going to come out bucking. Some bulls have a set pattern where they do same thing every time. Others will look to the right and fake it. If you hit the ground, you’d better be running fast.” “It’s a game of countermoves,” added Mortensen. “And controlled fear—riding on autopilot—wins over everything when you get to the PBR level. If it’s a bad situation, eight seconds feels like an hour. If you have a good ride, it’s the funnest thing you can do with your clothes on.” Though he won’t get to ride in Saturday’s show, O’Gara relishes the opportunity to show off his bulls to the hometown crowd. “It’s a little nerve-wracking because I want the bulls to have a good performance,” he said. “But it feels great to show off for friends and family.” tws

hey’ve taken on the complete works of Shakespeare. Now, three classically trained Main Street bartenders are about to sum up the Good Book, from those long-talked-about fig leaves to the final judgment. Talk about apocalypse now… Matt Gorby, Steve D’Smith and Will Hemmings will present “The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)” Aug. 12 through 15 and Aug. 19 through 22, along with a special performance on Saturday, Aug. 25, at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The slightly irreverent 90minute spoof will start at 7 p.m. Sundays and Mondays and 9:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays—the latter timed to allow even Ketch’em Alive concertgoers to get in on the Bible thumping. “The Bible” was created (though not in six days) by three British chaps—Reed Martin, Austin Tichenor and Adam Long. All but Long had a hand in The Reduced Shakespeare Company’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged),” which begat “The Complete History of America (abridged),” which begat “The Complete Millennium Musical (abridged)” and, finally, “The Bible.” Originally produced by The Reduced Shakespeare Company in 1995, “The Bible” had a seven-week run at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and an eight-week run at London’s Gielgud Theatre. The play insists that God has a sense of humor. After all, it points out, He led the children of Israel throughout the Middle East for 40 years and had them stop in the one place with no oil.” It asks whether Adam and Eve had navels and whether Moses really looked like Charlton Heston. It even poses the question that has puzzled Americans since Jonathan Edwards began preaching his Puritanism— “Why isn’t ‘phonetic’ spelled the way it sounds? “The jokes are so old they were told before the Dead Sea was even sick,” said Gorby. “We added some of our own stuff, skewing a few local celebrities, since some of the references have gone out of date.” The trio will touch on all 66 books of the Bible, presenting the Old Testament in the first act and the New Testament in the second.

n Wednesday, August 1, Boise resident Kristin Armstrong had her ‘it’ moment; she won the individual time trial—an 18-mile, pedal-to-the-metal ride—in 37:34 minutes, her second Olympic gold, the first coming in Beijing. Mishaps and self-doubt made this an uphill battle. Armstrong had a spill in Beijing. She had decided to retire, then two years ago, at age 37, she changed her mind, only to break her collarbone in May. She got back on the bike, made the Olympic team, then had another spill in the 89-mile, rain-swept road race in London. The roads were wet on Wednesday, but the rain held off. The best riders went last, and Kristin was the very last. Olga Zabelinskaya, of Russia, posted the best time of 37:57, and sat on her first-place throne, awaiting the final riders. Judith Arndt of Germany arrived at 37:50. Olga had to move over a seat. Kristin had the best time after the first time check, and the best at the second. When she passed road race gold medalist Evelyn Vos on the road, she knew she had a good chance. She put her head down, kept her body still and had her legs pumping. She said, “Even a one percent drop in efficiency would cost me the podium.” She finished 16 seconds ahead of Arndt. After a lot of bureaucratic wrangling, and after the medal awards, Armstrong was allowed to hold her two-year-old son Lucas on the podium. At age 39, and now definitely retired, she stood alone as the oldest cyclist to win road race gold in cycling history. It is worth mentioning that Olga was the only woman to medal in both road races.

In gymnastics, 16-yearold Gabby ‘the flying squirrel’ Douglas has exceeded all expectations. Her smile lit up the world. Legendary Hungarian, and now U.S. coach Bela Karolyi, saw her in March at Madison Square Garden. An athlete without portfolio, he dismissed her as an “average, good gymnast.” He’s eating a lot of paprika-baked crow. In that March exhibition meet, she went on to beat Jordyn Wieber. Sleek, fast, with the reflexes of a wild feline, she progressed up the ladder with leaps and bounds. With each event, she matured and learned to contain and focus her energy. She led the U.S. team to gold with the highest event score, 16.24, in the team all-around. Then, on Thursday, as her Russian and American competitors faltered, she won the individual all-around—the first ever African-American to do so. The U.S. has won the last three of these, each time with a different gymnast—Patterson, Liukin and now Douglas. There are no repeats here. A 2008 competitor is a veteran, an old lady. There are no more Latyninas. Twenty-two-year-old Kayla Harrison won the 172-pound class judo competition, the very first U.S. gold in judo. She started at age niine, and her idol was Jimmy Pedro, who won the Worlds in ‘99. Her chosen coach, Daniel Doyle, sexually abused her on international trips. At age 16, she showed up at Pedro’s door—lost, broken, confused. Under his tutelage, she learned to channel the wildfire of her inner rage. She said, “...when I step out on the mat, it’s going to be with one goal in mind, and that’s to tear everybody apart from limb to limb.” She went from a near suicidal emotional wreck to Olympic champion, a great example to many. tws

Wiggins handily won his time trial to give England its second gold medal. We’ll be calling him Sir Bradley soon. Phelps makes history twice. Many thought Michael Phelps was all washed up after all these years, and four Olympics, but it proved to be his critics who were all wet. True, he’s had to share the glory this year with his teammates Clary, Lochte and Adrian, but he rose to the occasion. He got team gold in the 4x200 medley relay. It was his 19th medal, and he became the most decorated Olympian of all time. He then went head to head for the last time with Brian Lochte in the 200-meter individual medley (one pool length each of the four strokes—the back, the fly, the breast and the crawl) and upset Lochte for the gold. It was his 20th medal, and his third Olympic win in this event. Lochte finished his career with 11 medals. Phelps wasn’t done. He pulled out a win from the jaws of defeat in the 100meter fly, his second three-peat in an individual event, and his 21st medal. The next night he won team gold in the 4x100 team relay for his 22nd medal, and his 18th gold. Wow. The 18-medal record was held for 48 years by the much-forgotten Russian woman gymnast, Larisa Latynina. She was on hand to congratulate Phelps. When asked what she thought of much-remembered TV-age darling Nadia Comaneci, she said, “Look at my numbers and you figure it out. Let’s just say Nadia had a very good publicist.” The State of Colorado received a much needed morale boost from Centennial resident and heir-apparent to Phelps, 17-yearold swimmer Missy ‘the missile’ Franklin, who is living up to her billing. She ended up with four golds and a bronze.

ow that Boise cyclist Kristin Armstrong, who has a condo in Sun Valley, has won her second gold in this summer’s Olympic cycling time trials, it’s time to turn our eyes on former Ketchum mountain biker Georgia Gould. Gould will go for the gold at 5:30 a.m. Ketchum time Saturday in women’s mountain biking. Having won multiple U.S. national championships, including gold at the national mountain bike championships in Ketchum in early July, the 32-year-old Gould is expected to be a shooin. Gould took advantage of the high altitude around Sun Valley to make her last training rides on American soil before heading off into the sunrise in Europe. She was last seen cruising up the 2,400-foot trail to 9,440-foot Pioneer Cabin. She made it look effortless while her male companions that followed 10 minutes later were sucking air. At that rate, she should be able to handle those little molehills in England easily. tws

Art Assembly - One Piece at a Time SPA SHELTER
Bean Finneran and four volunteers spent all last week assembling her oval and gumdrops at the Gail Severn Gallery in time for Friday’s Gallery Walk. Finneran has had exhibitions in Belgium and Germany, having to disassemble and reassemble each piece every time she moves it to a different venue in a process of creating that has no beginning or end. The clay itself is a connection to time, the earth and human culture— a meditation on multiplicity in nature like individual blades of grass in a field, said Gail Severn. Here, Mark Bourret shows the enormity of the piece.

Gallery Notes BY BALI SZABO

ail Severn Gallery’s main exhibit is a series of floor installations by Bean Finneran, one of two in the Valley this month. The other is at Ochi Gallery, and both are mustsees because of their originality. Bean uses slightly curled rolls of clay, about 8 inches long, and assembles them without the use of adhesives. Because of the bend, the pieces adhere to each other, held in place by a dynamic inner tension. The main installation, a large ring made up of over 20,000 of these clay sticks, creates a unique visual texture. Bean and her two assistants were busy at work last week creating a variety of shapes that took them all week to finish. Separately, Hung Liu’s mixedmedia works incorporate an array of historical sources from fossils, ancient petroglyphs and 9th-century Chinese painting and archival photography to create a historical pastiche. The stories in the works illustrate the uses, abuses and fates of Chinese women and, by extension, of women everywhere. One work uses the image of Polly Bemis, a mail order slave (bride) who arrived on the Salmon River during Idaho’s gold rush days, and became a legend in her own right. Liu’s multi-layered use of gold/silver leaf, printing inks, photography and resins give these works a modern feel and reinforce her view that the past is prologue. The Friesen Gallery features a group of artists from Sonoma, Calif. Holly Downing portrays in paint the ethnic textiles from Third World countries like Peru, Nepal and Palestine. Adela Akers’ mixed-media works incorporate wine country elements and
mathematics. One piece has a burgundy weave overlain with strips cut from the metal used to wrap the necks of wine bottles, and a thin skein of horse hair for additional texture. Robert Gauthier makes 4-foot-tall vases by painstakingly laminating together small strips and trapezoid shapes of exotic woods like African red padonk, tan lacewood, purple heart and peroba. These stately pieces command the eye. Gallery DeNovo has a fascinating show with leafcutter ants as the subject. Along with the exhibit, there are two looped videos of these Central American ants at work. The natural soundtrack of birdsong, barks, whoops and grunts—the sounds of nature very close up—is worth the price of admission (free). The upstairs part of the gallery has several refined photographs of dogs inside cars by Martin Usborne. This bit of Americana is also featured in the July issue of Harper’s. Expressions, in The Courtyard and next door to Broschofsky Galleries, has a two-’man’ show. Finally, Mary Roberson has a found a local gallery willing to show a wider range of her work. In case you thought you ‘knew’ Mary’s work, look again. The gallery, in its first year of operation, is owned by the great Western Americana sculptor, Dave McGary. Naturally, it showcases a wide range of his work, from small head studies to life-size works. There is one particularly arresting piece, a life-size sculpture of a Plains warrior wearing a U.S. Cavalry uniform, a matter of honor and prestige to an Indian warrior. The overcoat, the ‘U.S.’ belt buckle, the Colt and the sabre are historically accurate details added to this tws fierce portrait.

love it when the Edgar M. Bronfman In Focus series is in town. Not only does one get to hear the finest musicians in the USA in a gorgeous venue—free of charge!—but as well, there are side lectures to attend. At The Community Library on a recent July evening, Alasdair Neale presented a most interesting movie called Mahler Auf Der Couch featuring actors who really looked like Mahler and his wife Alma. The film had to do with Mahler’s psychoanalytic sessions with Sigmund Freud. So, of course, I got to thinking about Irving Stone’s (whom I was fortunate enough to have known very well personally) excellent book, “Passions of the Mind.” Honestly, without any bias, I think that Stone was an excellent novel biographer. Pick up any of his books and I guarantee that you’ll enjoy and learn from them. However, this one I thought he wrote particularly well. I never realized what a tortuous path Dr. Freud had to take to develop his amazing psychiatric treatments, which are still used today. This book will open your mind to a man you may have found ridiculous or just plain confusing. I think that it’s a must read for anyone who is interested in the workings of the mind and of psychoanalysis. As the book jacket says: “he (Freud) was a pioneer explorer of the dark and fearsome frontiers of the sexual nature of man, for which he was made…a pariah!” It’s a story that wanders through Europe, England and America and includes the likes of Nietzsche, Adler, Jung, Hitler, Princess Marie Bonaparte of Greece, and others. It’s a time span that ranges from 1856 to 1939, which saw all sorts of huge life changes such as electricity, phones, planes, and such. Don’t let the 840 pages daunt you because I guarantee that you’ll be so taken with the story as told by Stone that you’ll finish reading the book before you have even realized it. I envy your first reading of this wonderful book, and so—ENJOY! P.S. In regards to the last book column, Twain: Love in Satire, John Pluntze e-mailed me that not only did he enjoy my article (thank you, John; you made my day!) but also to remind me that Twain was a fabulous TRAVEL writer, too — which is totally true! So there you are for some more wonderful Mark Twain readings that you will enjoy. Give us your feedback at margot6@mindspring.com tws

Fishing R epoRt The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weeklyâ&#x20AC;? Fishing RepoRT FoR AUgUsT 8, 2012 By: Jim sAnTA
A
s it is prime time for fly fishing all over Idaho, following is a brief synopsis of not only t h e local streams, but a few other streams within striking distance. As always, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to share our latest reports, just stop by and inquire. On Silver Creek the focal point has been the early morning trico hatch. The trico hatch is typically strong enough to trump any of the other mayflies that may be present. Later morning gives way to hoppers and the damsel flies are starting to produce as-well. In the evening there will likely be a mix of pmdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and baetis for mayflies as-well-as some of the prairie caddis. Hoppers are beginning to attract attention on all waters and we all love to fish hoppers. The Big Wood is no exception, so when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not seeing hatch activity a hopper with or without a dropper nymph is a good way to do some prospecting. For droppers, zebra midges have been quite productive. We are seeing a mixed mayfly hatch late morning into early afternoon, primarily pink albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and size 16 mayfly patterns are fishing well. In the evening weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the caddis emerge and there will be a great window of fishing right at dusk. Stay into dark and bring a headlamp for the walk out. Over Trail Creek Summit in the Lost River drainage which includes the North Fork, East Fork, Wild Horse Creek, and the main stem of the Big Lost, reasonably good fishing is being reported. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of water in this area and it generally pays to be on the move and cover as much as you can. Hoppers, stimulators, and a variety of basic mayfly patterns, with zebra midges and lightning bugs for nymphs will do fine. The flows on the Lower Lost below Mackay reservoir have now been dropped to around 450 cfs. While considered a fishable level, this is still sporty wading. Double nymph rigs with zebra midges, stimulators to match stoneflies and craneflies, hoppers, and baetis patterns would be a few suggestions. The South Fork of the Boise is now flowing at 1800 cfs making a boat more or less mandatory and even then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving right along. Large high floating patterns like foam hoppers, stimulators, and cicadas worked along the banks will produce while floating. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice pink albert hatch happening in the mid afternoon, park the boat and work some of the side channels and seams when you see these mayflies start up. The evening caddis action can be strong in the slicks and seams as-well. There are a lot of good options out there right now so get out and do some fishing and stop by either of our locations in Ketchum and Hailey for the most up to date report.

Dance Workshop
Batty for Batman Jon rated this movie
BY JONATHAN KANE
B
am! Kapow! Zonk! The new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, rocks and vastly outdistances the other superhero blockbusters that we’ve been served up this summer. It also should entertain audiences for generations to come and is a worthy sequel to the excellent second film in the trilogy. Not really a big fan of the genre, although I thoroughly enjoyed the Val Kilmer Batman with Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones, which many aficionados loathed, this three-hour opus flew by, which is a testament to its quality. I’ve also been iffy about the creator and director, Christopher Nolan, since his film Inception, which I found to be incomprehensible and which the multitudes adored. No matter, Nolan has scored big here and, despite the tragedy that accompanied its opening, not much can keep this film down. A lot of this is due to thrilling action scenes accompanied by heartthumping tribal drum beats. So many of these films have ridiculous action scenes that rely on CGI and basically go nowhere; the scenes in this Batman will have you riveted. Also tremendous is the film’s villain Baine who is truly scary. The biggest shoes this film had to fill were those left by Heath Ledger as the Joker in the previous film. Could anything top that performance? Although Baine doesn’t top it (what villain could?), he makes for a formidable opponent to Christian Bale’s caped crusader. The plot— which I won’t give away—blows others away in the genre and the appearance of Anne Hathaway as the alluring Cat Woman has been derided by some, but I thought it fit the story perfectly. Although supposedly the end of the series, the film totally sets up a sequel with the introduction of Robin. Let’s hope that Nolan has one more up his sleeve. tws

Williams: Brewing For Success BY JONATHAN KANE
W
ood River High School senior Benjamin Williams is brewing for success. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at his job at the locally owned BuckSnort root beer company. The company has been brewing root beer for three and a half years and is owned by local entrepreneur Kainoa Lopez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lopez was our assistant J.V. football coach and I always wanted to work with him so we spoke about it in early spring. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fantastic. He is much more a friend than he is my boss,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. Lopez used to brew beer and instead decided to try his hand at root beer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only sold on tap and you can find it all over locally, like at the Power House, Leftyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ricoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, The Wicked Spud and The Pioneer. I work in both the shop and at events like the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We sell it there by the glass and also make root beer floats. I really like that part of the job because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very social. Other days Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at the shop where we sanitize the kegs and do the brewing at the old Chester and Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Bellevue. Obviously, sanitizing is key and we use a big system to wash the kegs with a solution and then rinse with water. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important part because if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have clean kegs, who would buy it?â&#x20AC;? said Williams. The kegs themselves are smaller than beer kegs and only hold five gallons. They are about three feet high and not very wide. Each week they sanitize about thirty kegs and it takes up to an hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also help in the brewing process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a secret mixture of herbs, roots and sweeteners that gets weighed out to precise measurements and then put into the kegs. Water is added and then the liquid is carbonated. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to the fridge and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to go to the restaurants. On average we have up to a hundred kegs circulating throughout southern Idaho. We send out about forty a week and Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bounty drives them all the way to Boise. I work about 35 hours a week and I love being there,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. At Wood River, Williams is quite the athlete, as he is a captain in three sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; football, basketball and baseball. In football, he is a running back and middle linebacker. In basketball, he plays the post, and in baseball he plays third base, first base and pitches. His favorite sport is football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing since I was seven years old. My parents directed me into it and I really took to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the aggression and the intensity that it requires that I really love, all the way from the start in flag football when we were just running

around having fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a little bigger and when I was eight I played on the nine-year-old team where I played center. We were really good and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose a game. I played a year ahead until sixth grade when I was able to play with my own age group.â&#x20AC;? Last year, Williams was a captain and the team was a very respectable 6-4 and lost in the playoffs to Blackfoot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the eventual champs. He had been an offensive guard up until now, making the first-team all-conference his sophomore year and second team his junior year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty fast for a big guy so they have decided to move me to running back where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more of a blocking back and help set the edge. We have two other backs that are more runners. In June we went to a football camp where we competed against seven other schools and I did pretty well.â&#x20AC;? As an outside linebacker Williams was first-team all-conference last year. This year, due to graduation and his knowledge of the system, he is being moved to the middle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like playing defense more because you can be violent and run full speed on every play and make the tackle. Your goal is to take them down. I also love being a captain where you can be a vocal leader as well as a physical leader.â&#x20AC;? In either case, Williams will be a leader for years to come. tws

ura Vidaâ&#x20AC;? means â&#x20AC;&#x153;pure lifeâ&#x20AC;? and it is the mantra of the Costa Rican people. The Wood River High School Travel Club, comprised of eight students and two chaperones, recently returned from Costa Rica. The group included Mandi Kinsey, Easton Kimball, Wyatt Wilson, Desmond Porth, Meghan Kehrer, Mia Smith, Addy Gage, Jasmine Marquez, and Adam and Lynnet Porth. Wood River High School recently adopted the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program and teachers from WRHS decided to supplement the international emphasis by starting a travel club. The successful first journey abroad used Education First (EF) Tours and was titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Touch of the Tropics.â&#x20AC;? The program emphasized the rich natural and cultural history of Costa Rica and engaged students in daily activities designed to educate and challenge them. A typical day included local meals, a morning hike or program, an afternoon program, and sometimes an evening event. Gustavo Mora, a local guide, provided the travelers with a plethora of information about the country,

the wildlife, and the culture throughout the trip. Adam Porth, group leader, described the 10-day trip as a huge success that introduced students to the tropical rainforest and several other Costa Rican ecosystems, and exposed the students to the unique and friendly Costa Rican culture. The trip was much more than a vacation and allowed the group to share their enthusiasm with the Costa Rican people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pura Vida!â&#x20AC;? exclaimed Easton, Addy, and Mia upon seeing a blackfaced howler monkey. Basilisks, Pacific sea turtles, hummingbirds, morpho butterflies, and other species intrigued students at the InBiologique Institute and elsewhere. Students also participated in a reforestation project that is creating an ecological corridor between two National Parks and over 5000 trees have been planted so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We visited a school and donated $40 for equipment in one of the rural mountain villages,â&#x20AC;? described Adam Porth. The Costa Rican students also performed traditional dances and enjoyed interacting with American students. In fact, a soccer game broke out! Pura Vida! Wood River students were also

They represented Idaho and the United States in such a positive manner,â&#x20AC;? said Adam Porth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our group bonded well and I am sure they have built some long-lasting friendships with each other during this trip.â&#x20AC;? There were many favorite activities, some of which included visiting the Poas volcano and hot springs, hiking in cloud rainforests, observing local wood shops (one used a water wheel to run all of the machines), shopping in local markets, swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and much more. From zip lining to photography, there was no lack of activities to keep the students busy. But by far everyone enjoyed rafting the Sarapiqui River where the river guides rivaled those of Idaho in their entertainment and skill through forests filled with toucans and other exotic birds. This next summer, the travel club plans to visit England in June. Contact Adam or Lynnet Porth to participate or for details, 578-5020. tws

ary Clare Griffin, a grief counselor in Sun Valley was heartbroken when she learned about the shooting during a showing of “Batman” in Aurora, Colo. So she and a friend, Don Meek of The Soul Project in Laguna Beach, Calif., designed T-shirts with the words “Aurora,” “Soul,” and “We Will Remember.” Griffin says she’s contacted the Colorado Rockies and other organizations in Colorado, inquiring about the possibility of using the T-shirts there in future fundraising events. Meanwhile, she has shipped a batch of shirts to The Aurora Mental Health Center for dispersal. “In the future, we would like to offer the shirts for sale, with profits going to victim assistance. We really want to help. Our hearts are broken for Colorado,” she added. If you’d like more information, contact Mary Clare Griffin at 208-720-4288. tws

Drawing inspiration from all over, Pink Martini is a cross-genre, aroundthe-world “little orchestra” with a wildly diverse repertoire. The impossible-to-categorize group makes its Sun Valley debut on Monday, August 13 at River Run Lodge as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Summer Performing Arts Series. If you don’t know Pink Martini, Thomas Lauderdale, the band’s leader, calls what they do “old-fashioned, symphonic global pop” ... and singer China Forbes calls it “an undiscovered special treat ...”

Their songs, which they’ve included on a CD, include “Skis Boots Poles,” and “Baldy Dread”—something that may appeal to ski town maniacs who are a little tired of the heat. Opening will be Naithon Cook, a Jerome kid who goes by “Holistic Meditation” and plays a song called “The Hope of Hip Hop.” There are plenty of other free vibes resonating through the valley this week.

ummer is in full effect and homes have been selling at a faster pace. More buyers mean fewer homes on the market and improved home values. Though house sales and prices seem to be picking up, this may not be the case in your market. Learn a bit more about some of the up and coming mortgage rate trends and buying trends to ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making financially wise decisions this summer. Housing Prices to Rise With housing prices at alltime lows for some time now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising to hear that the National Association of Realtors forecast an increase in prices by about 3 to 5 percent this year and next year. Though prices are expected to rise, there are still quite a few states that may not be affected, including those where foreclosures have to go through the judicial system. Mortgage Rates Remain Low, and Are Expected to Stay That Way The federal government recently announced that it will extend its bond-buying program, known as Operation Twist, to drive lower long-term loan rates through the end of the year. This means mortgage rates will stay around the 4 percent range. If you are one of those homeowners who have been putting off a refinance, now is the time to make your move. Revamped Mortgage Relief Programs The low rates wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do you much good if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get approved for a loan or refinance. Luckily, those underwater homeowners who owe more than their home is worth are able to find some relief in a few government-backed programs. The revamped HARP, or Home Affordable Refinance Program, will assist by helping those struggling homeowners refinance to a lower rate. For those with Federal Housing Administration loans, expect to have an easier time refinancing with fewer documents and at significantly reduced fees. Tight Lending Requirements Though many programs are available to assist buyers and current homeowners, the appraisal process is posing a challenge. Purchase deals often fall apart when appraisals come in lower than the purchase price. Expect continued conservative home value appraisals as we move into the fall season. With these mortgage and housing trends in effect, it is plain to see that now is prime time for buyers and homeowners to consider purchasing a new home or refinancing their current mortgage. Call your mortgage specialist to find a mortgage program that is right for you. tws

Lavender Shortbread Cookies BY MARGOT VAN HORN
Y
es, soothing lavender!! Having lived in Paso Robles, Calif., for a while, I really enjoyed growing lavender in my yard. Lavender and rosemary love the Paso climate and soil. They are to be found in abundance everywhere in that location. As you can imagine, the smells were divine. Now in Paso, they even feature, during the summer, a lavender faire where you can taste some lavender ice cream, among other goodies. So, thinking about a little dessert item for our Pavilion picnickers, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little unusual recipe I thought youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all enjoy. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overdo the amount of lavender because all you want is a little hint of taste; too much will cause an overpowering bitter taste. So, if you feel like only adding 1 Tbsp. fresh or 1 tsp. dried, that will probably be just fine. Lavender Shortbread Cookies - Makes 24 cookies
Ingredients:
1 ½ C. softened regular butter 2/3 C. white sugar Âź C. sifted confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar 2 Tbsp. or less of finely chopped fresh lavender or 1 Tbsp. or less of dried culinary lavender ground with a pestle
to your health
and mortar 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint leaves 1 tsp. grated lemon zest 2 ½ C. all-purpose flour 1/2 C. cornstarch 1/4 tsp. salt
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the lavender, mint and lemon zest. Combine the flour, cornstarch and salt; mix into the batter until well blended. Divide dough into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap and flatten to about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to Âźinch thickness. Cut into whatever shapes please you. Place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. 3. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, just until cookies begin to brown at the edges. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Summer Sports and Olympics BY GLEN D. SHAPIRO, M.D., FAAOS

ith the 2012 Olympics well underway and multiple national and world records being set, I have decided to write this column to include a listing of short facts, orthopedic tidbits, and interesting medical news that touches upon the realm of orthopedics and sports medicine, rather than stick to a single topic. * Michael Fred Phelps, IIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;22 medals and then off to retirement? Is he man or fish? * Mark Andrew Spitzâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the most successful athlete at the 1972 Summer Olympics, World Swimmer of the Year in 1969, 1971, and 1972â&#x20AC;&#x201D;has acid reflux and high cholesterol. * Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blade Runnerâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a bilateral amputeeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;takes second in the 400-yard run. He runs on artificial legs or, more accurately, Cheetah Flex-Foot carbon fibre transtibial artificial limbs. This incredible athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability should serve to inspire the disabled to aspire for gold. Pistorius had a childhood bone anomaly. Pistorius, from the word pistor, means miller or baker. On the financial sideâ&#x20AC;Ś * ÂŁ11.3billion is the cost for London to host the 2012 Olympicsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ÂŁ9.3billion of public-sector funding and ÂŁ2billion from the London Organising Committee. * The gold medalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;weighing in at 412 grams (roughly the weight of a can of green beans) is made up of only 1.34 percent, or about 6 grams, of gold. The rest is comprised of 93 percent silver and 6 percent copper. Melted down and sold at todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market value, those raw materials would be worth about $650. * Olympic gold hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a solid gold medal since the 1912 Summer Games in Stockholm, Sweden. * Italy pays $182,400 to any Italian who wins a gold medal (the highest in the world)! * USA medal winners get $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. The prize money (in addition to the medal) is paid by the U.S. Olympic Committee. * American taxes on a gold medal could run as high as $8,986; on a silver medal,
August 8, 2012
$5,385; and on a bronze medal, $3,500.

The Petersons’ saltwater pool boasts a Jacuzzi pool on one corner. STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
C
andice Peterson welcomed hundreds of people to her home Saturday as she and her husband Barry threw open their doors for The Community Library Tour of Homes. Peterson stood between the living room and patio answering all kinds of questions, from the age of the shiny 1989 orange Harley-Davidson motorcycle that her husband had restored, to questions about their saltwater pool that encases a smaller Jacuzzi pool. A near sell-out crowd of about 400 people toured the five homes in downtown Ketchum, with proceeds from the tour going to a library that board member Jon Maksik calls “the cultural center and gathering place” of Ketchum. Tour-goers seemed awed by the personal touches homeowners had endowed their homes
with. In the master bath of the Peterson home, Bill Alban showed tour-goers how he could fill the tub in just three minutes with water piped from the ceiling. Other volunteers pointed out the headboard made from a gate, a workbench Barry rescued from a school vocational lab and a home gym that included every kind of machine imaginable, including a Calf Master. Of particular interest: a refrigerator sporting flames that matched the flames painted on one of Barry Peterson’s restored motorcycles. “Barry belongs to a Harley motorcycle club called The Hamsters,” related Home Tour Captain Carol Harlig. “They were here this past week and they’re in Sturgis, South Dakota, for the big motorcycle rally right now.” Tour-goers ogled the handsome indoor saltwater pool in David Pyle’s Knob Hill home,

which looked through glass doors onto a waterfall situated in the boulders outside. And they marveled at how Rhea Schwartz, who started International Masters Skating, accented the white and grey scheme of her home with colorful memorabilia she and her husband Paul Wolff had picked up in their travels. “There are so many interesting touches here and in their home in D.C.,” said volunteer Georgia Stewart. “Both Rhea and Paul have very artistic eyes.” Tour goers even got a bonus— a chance to tour a 3,200-square foot penthouse listed for $2.79 million in the same building as the Wilson and Zaugg penthouses. The condo, which comes with a built-in car wash, is the last property available in the Scott Building. Joanne Mercer and Eileen Prager put the Home Tour on

Jack Lane Pays Homage to the Home Tour Party STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
s a boy, Jack Lane used to sweep the floor of the original Gold Mine thrift store when it opened in an abandoned miner’s cabin to raise money for the fledgling Community Library. When you’re a boy, you do what your Mom tells you to do, acknowledged Lane. Lane’s mother just happened to be Jeanne Lane Moritz, who was among 17 women who contributed a dollar each to start up the library because, while they loved the beautiful wilderness that surrounded them, they abhorred the cultural wilderness they found themselves in during the 1950s in Ketchum. On Friday night, Jack Lane championed the library in a very different way — as part of a group of patrons who turned out for a Home Tour opening party at Dan and Martine Drackett’s Greenhorn Gulch estate. Today, The Community Library is not only a rich treasury of books, but it’s a rich resource of entertainment with an archival treasury for the community that dates back to the founding of Sun Valley and the sheep industry in Ketchum, said Lane, who formerly presided over the Dallas Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Patrons who joined Lane at the party nibbled on a lavish buffet of chicken satay and other hors d’oeuvres catered by Cristina’s in the Dracketts’ outdoor pavilion. And as smoke from wildfires 80 miles away began coloring the rays from the twilight sun, architectural color pioneer Donald Kaufman gave a brief talk describing some of the unusual experiences he’s had charting color for high-profile clients, including a CEO who was unwilling to accept any of the color schemes that had been submitted for his office overlooking Rockefeller Plaza. A lot of people don’t realize how complex color is, said Kaufman, who has written three books, including “Color.” “It doesn’t exist the way we think it exists,” he added. “It’s a result of light that bounces off an object. Our eyes take it in and it makes its way to the brain. People think that’s where it stops. But while you have a sensation, it doesn’t become real until it gets to the brain and your brain defines it for you.” Janet Ross-Heiner said she tries to attend the Home Tour party every year. “Good food, good people, and it benefits the library,” she said. “To me, the library is our university—it’s our Sun Valley tws University.”

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, Jealous. Jealous. Jealous. That's what I am. After losing one of our office staff, my boss narrowed down the search for a replacement to two applicants and asked me to recommend the final one. Little did I know that the one I chose lives only six blocks away from my boss. Now they're carpooling together every day and being quite chummy. They even have their favorite place for lattes in the morning. I could probably handle that except now we are both up for the same promotion. I think I can be pretty sure whom my boss is going to pick. I never would have recommended her if I knew she was going to ruin my chances for advancement. I have to do something. Any thoughts on a plan of attack?
â&#x20AC;˘
â&#x20AC;˘
â&#x20AC;˘
Cash: First, you could ask them
to bring you a latte in the morning as well! Carry: When you have to commute with someone daily, it's common to become friendly and converse. After all, many people enjoy company during a trip. Cash: However before you get

Are you a "stretch commuter"? The average person travels about 39 miles a day according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. However, "stretch commuters", a term coined by the Bureau, travel much longer distances to get to work. Eight out of ten travel between 50 and 99 miles each way, usually at least four days a week. The balance trek even farther, some up to 200 miles one way. That's a lot of traveling every year.
Green Commuting too riled up over the situation, you may want to step back and look at it objectively. Although your colleague and your boss do share a ride, their relationship may just be one that helps pass the time. Carry: If your new colleague were getting special treatment, such as a selection of better projects or more leniencies with sick days or vacation, then you could say that your boss was playing favorites. However, it seems they simply share a ride and a passion for morning lattes. Cash: Now there are some things you can do to improve your chances for the promotion. For starters, project confidence in your abilities throughout the day in the
office. People are always watching. Carry: Remember, your boss did ask you to interview the two candidates and select the one best suited for the job. That shows that she already has confidence in your abilities and intuition. Cash: Although office politics can always come into play when promotions are at stake, you need to stop worrying and focus on your own relationships with coworkers in the office. If you demonstrate that you're a strong professional who gets the job done, then the decision of who to promote should be an easy one. Carry: Of course, it probably never hurts to have a latte at coffee break!
Ride share programs offer many benefits to everyone involved. Employers often receive business tax deductions for employees involved in the program. Towns and cities have less congestion, reduced air pollutants and need to build fewer parking lots. However, employees receive the most benefit. They can avoid dealing with the rush hour traffic and drastically reduce their costs of commuting to work. In addition, by logging fewer miles on the odometer, they help maintain the resale value of their vehicle. â&#x20AC;˘

As a secretary for a HR director, I recognize he has a tough job. All of the employee complaints fall on his desk, but fortunately he always has an answer. Last week we had a companywide meeting where the department managers gave a quick presentation and fielded questions from the 500 employees. When it was my boss's turn, he presented information on our 401K and fielded a comment from an unhappy employee. The gentleman raised his hand and shouted, "Our 401K is horrible. I haven't made any money with it." My boss remained calm and replied, "I appreciate your input, but you should know it probably works better when you put some money in it first!" (Thanks to Tabitha C.)

518 raves Dick York Towing... you are the best. Jake had my BIG PROBLEM under control and I was on my way within 30 minutes. Would have taken me six hours of just thinking about it. Well done Jake. A Rave For Our Brillant SVSS Conductor - Aladair, you have indeed become an amazing conductor. You have given us program after program of superb concerts, but for me, two of the most amazing and surprising ones so far this season have been your interpretation of Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night on Thursday, 7/25 ( I cried) and tonight, Thursday August 2nd, your rendition and interpretation of Respighi’s Pine of Rome. That was not to be believed. I heard the birds sing, the children laugh, the pines whisper, and of course, the consular army—well, you get the picture. I don’t think that any recording of that concert will do it justice. I believe that as I was, you had to be sitting in the Pavilion to get the full effect. I’ll never be able to listen to that piece of music again without remembering this evening. You are great, Alasdair, and I thank you so much for giving us all the privilege of being present in your presence. Sincerely, Margot Van Horn
