Fire News Beaver Creek Fire Prompts Blaine County Commissioners to Declare Disaster Emergency
T
he Blaine County Board of Commissioners has declared a disaster emergency as a result of the Beaver Creek Fire. The resolution requests the State of Idaho to declare that a disaster emergency exists in Blaine County and to include Blaine County in the state’s current declaration in order to authorize aid and assistance. The Beaver Creek Fire, which was ignited by lightning August 9, grew to more than 24,000 acres Sunday. Three community meetings are planned this week: Tuesday at the Legion Hall in Fairfield, Tuesday at Ketchum City Hall and Wednesday at the Community Campus in Hailey. All meetings begin at 7 p.m. As of press time on Tuesday, it was reported that firegighters are assigning key resources to the north and east flanks of the 32,211 acre wildfire to prevent its spread into nearby communities and recreation areas. Now that crews have built containment line on the fire’s southern and western boundaries, handcrews and a bulldozer will tackle more active parts of the fire, according to operations chief John Kennedy. Those efforts will focus south of Shaw Mountain and Placer Flat and along a ridge that runs between Wolf Tone and Kinsey creeks. Crews will use natural barriers, fire scars and topographical features to slow the fire’s progress, and they’ll be supported by aerial resources using a portable retardant station. Warm Springs Road is closed at Red Warrior Creek. Warm Springs is closed, as are all trails south of Baker Creek Road on both sides of Warm Springs Road. Forest managers on Tuesday implemented an area closure that includes all roads and trails on National Forest System lands on the Ketchum Ranger District and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area west and south of Highway 75, including Baker Lake. North Fork Campground, Wood River Campground, Easley Campground, Easley Resort and the Cathedral Pines Organizational Camp are excluded from the road closures. Highway 75 also remains open. Forest visitors are warned not to enter the forest from Carrietown. tws

“I never took lessons. I just heard pieces and improvised on them. Mozart did it. They’d put him on stage at age 5 and blindfold him or put a cover over his hands.” –Teddy Abrams

eddy Abrams considers himself part autocrat, part cheerleader, part high priest and part village doctor. It takes all of that and more to get a hundred musicians excited and energized to play with passion as if they’re one. “There are some things that can be taught in schools about conducting and some things that can’t. A lot of it, I think, is your own passion for music. And, as a musician myself, I respect how much each musician brings to the table,” said Abrams. Abrams, 26, has brought a lot to the Sun Valley Summer Symphony this summer as a pianist and as its new assistant conductor. He has tickled audiences with his youthful exuberance as he’s joined longtime music director Alasdair Neale in sharing conducting duties and introducing various pieces. One night he conducted one piece, his brown curls falling in his eyes as he bobbed up and down on the podium. Then he joined Peter Henderson in a rousing duet of Hector Berlioz’s “Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath” from “Symphonie Fantastique.” “He is so much fun to watch,” enthused Libby Holtz. “I love watching how excited he gets, the way he moves.” “He seems to feel the music with his physicality,” added Jeanne Cassell. “He brings a lot of emotion to his conducting.” Abrams was improvising on the piano at age 3. “I never took lessons. I just heard pieces and improvised on them. Mozart did it. They’d put him on stage at age 5 and blindfold him or put a cover over his hands. Or they’d put a sheet of music

that he’d never seen before in front of him to see what he could do. He knew the nobility couldn’t read music so he’d play the first couple measures then he’d improvise,” said Abrams, who still spends countless hours improvising and recording his improvisations on his iPhone. On a fast track Abrams joined band in third grade. He wanted to play saxophone but his fingers were too small so he took up the clarinet. When he saw Michael Tilson Thomas conducting a free outdoor concert featuring the San Francisco Symphony at age 9 his future was set. “It was like magic watching how he got a hundred people to blend together. It was as if I’d seen Harry Potter himself,” Abrams recalled. “It was one of the best youth orchestras there was. People couldn’t tell it from a regular orchestra in a blind test.” Abrams auditioned for the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra led by Alasdair Neale when he was 10; the Palo Alto youth was devastated when he was turned down. But Neale invited him to join the orchestra a few weeks later when a clarinet player had to leave. Neale gave him a chance to conduct the youth orchestra when he was 13. “Every time I left rehearsal, I felt sad— the youth orchestra was the highlight of my life growing up. I wanted to never lose that magic,” said Abrams. With area schools struggling and private school full, Abrams’ parents enrolled him in Laney College, a community college in downtown Oakland, as an 11-year-
old fresh out of elementary school. “It was very urban, very raw, but no one looked at me funny for being so young,” he recalled. “My entire life I’ve engaged with people who’re older than me—most of the orchestra musicians are between 40 and 50.” At 16, Abrams transferred to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Two years later he went on to graduate school at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where he studied under Otto Werner Mueller, Alasdair Neale’s teacher at Yale. “By then he was 80 years old, very intense, famous for being strict. He taught lots of great students, like Leonard Bernstein,” Abrams said. At 17, Abrams soloed Beethoven’s “Emperor Concerto.” Since, he has performed with a number of symphony orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, St. Louis Symphony and even a YouTube symphony at Carnegie Hall. He has performed with the St. Petersburg String Quartet and other groups. And he’s conducted the new World Symphony in concerts at Carnegie Hall and elsewhere. Abrams served as resident conductor of the MAV Symphony Orchestra in Budapest for a year before becoming assistant conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 2012. The orchestra, like so many, is emerging from years of red ink by engaging in new ventures, such as taking concerts to people in the suburbs. A young guy like Abrams gives the or-

There’ll be live music, food booths, swag and even a vodka booth in keeping with the first Winter Olympics ever held in Russia. The event supports the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s goal of placing six athletes
in the 2014 Winter Olympics, which will run Feb. 6 through 23. The event will provide training funds for kids on the Foundation’s Gold Team, who are competing in Nordic, alpine, freestyle and snowboard events. The Sochi Olympics will be the biggest Winter Olympics ever, with 98 events, including eight new events in freestyle and snowboard. There also will be a new figure-skating event, women’s ski-jumping event, a mixed-relay biathlon and a team-relay luge. tws

hiking trip through Greenhorn Gulch this summer is like a wildlife safari. A bear and its cub, moose, elk, deer, grouse, bald eagle, osprey—chances are any of them are likely to greet you as you ramble its paths. Moose have been spotted out of their normal habitat—even on the Cow Creek Trail—as water sources dry up. This moose, which has been known to charge unsuspecting hikers, was spotted near the Mahoney-Lodgepole trail junction.
Walton to Paddle for Cancer, MS BY KAREN BOSSICK
D
anny Walton, long known for Marley in the Mountains, Sun Valley’s Telemark Series and more, has a new quest up his sleeve. He’s attempting to paddleboard his way around four Sawtooth lakes, Lake Tahoe and a Canada-to-Cleveland crossing of Lake Erie to raise money and awareness for the annual Wood River MS Walk, Camp Rainbow Gold camp for children with cancer and St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which funds research for childhood cancer. The Big Lake Paddle Quest will take place throughout the month of August. “Crossing Western Lake Erie from Canada to Cleveland, 30
miles, has never been done on a paddleboard,” said Walton, founder of Mountain Niceness Productions. Walton, a professional skier, will circumnavigate Alturas, Pettit, Redfish and Stanley lakes in the Sawtooths—a total of 22 miles. He will also paddle 77 miles around Lake Tahoe. “I wanted an opportunity to give back to great organizations and help to raise funds for them,” Walton said. “This is my good will. I have been lucky to do all the things I love to do, which includes skiing and mountain climbing, and I want to give back.” For more details on the event and to donate, visit www.mountainniceness.com. tws

Dwarf Mistletoe

warf mistletoe (not to be confused with the white-berried “kissing” mistletoe of the holidays) is very small and leafless. It’s likely you’ve never seen this plant, which only reaches 2 to 3 inches in size at maturity – though you may have seen the havoc that it wreaks. The shoots and leaves of dwarf mistletoe are very reduced, almost to scales, with the bulk of the plant living under the host’s bark. In fact, it looks more like a fungus than the flowering plant it is. You’ll find dwarf mistletoe growing on conifer trees, including lodgepole and limber pine, as well as Douglas fir. There is a downside to dwarf mistletoe. When the fruit of the plant is ripe, it explodes and the sticky seed splats onto a surrounding tree – at speeds upward of 60 mph! Once the seed germinates, a root-like structure taps into the living tissue of the tree to extract all the water and nutrients the parasitic mistletoe needs to survive. Witches’ broom – those odd-looking, ball-shaped growths you often see on conifers – are the result of mistletoe infestation that can deform the plant, or kill the tops above the brooms. The densely needled brooms also divert water and nutrients from the tree, leaving it weakened and susceptible to insects and disease. So while dwarf mistletoe deserves our grudging respect for its remarkable adaptability, it is also a serious forest pest that kills trees and ruins the quality of the wood.

Public Opportunity to Comment on Kayak Park
The public will soon have two opportunities to comment on plans for Ketchum’s proposed River Park at Sun Peak, a project that would restore wildlife habitat, reduce flooding risk to downstream properties, and allow the creation of a whitewater park. The Seattle firm of GeoEngineers expects to complete an environmental assessment of the project this week and submit it for review to AECOM, a Colorado firm under contract with the federal Bureau of Land Management. The park would be located on property managed by the BLM, and federal law requires both the environmental assessment and review of the assessment for 316 acres of federal land requested in a land disposal action known as the Ketchum Recreation & Public Purposes (R&PP) application. The BLM anticipates opening a 30-day period for public comment on the environmental assessment and AECOM’s review later this summer. At the same time, S2o Design and Engineering is developing the final design for the park, with completion of the plan expected in October or November. The plan will be presented at a public meeting, and there also will be an additional period for public comments, the Ketchum City Council was told by Jennifer L. Smith, Ketchum director of parks and recreation. The park, to be created in cooperation with the Wood River Land Trust, would offer trails, river and pond access, habitat restoration, wildlife viewing, dog play areas and a whitewater feature along approximately 1,500 feet of the Big Wood River north of Ketchum near Hulen Meadows. For additional information and to be advised of updates and opportunities for public comment, contact Smith at jsmith@ketchumidaho.org or 726-7820. Detailed information is also available at www.ketchumidaho.org under the “Special Projects” heading.

Do I Have to Use Pesticides?
ere at the Blaine County Weed Department (BCWD) we’ve heard the same question a few times and we thought we’d address it in case there were others thinking the same thing. The question is: “If you have noxious weeds on your property, does the county make you use pesticides to control them?” The answer is no. We use an integrated management plan when it comes to managing noxious weeds in Blaine County. This means that we employ the use of pesticides, bio-control, mechanical control, and environmental factors when working with noxious weeds. If the BCWD determines there are weeds on your property that need to be removed (remember! It is state law that property owners manage the noxious
weeds on their property), we will work with you on the best course of action for the type of weed you have, where the weeds are located, and how your land is being used. Sometimes bio-control is the best option, sometimes weed whacking or hand pulling will do the trick, and sometimes pesticides do work best. We want to help you make the best decision for the land that you have, and we work closely with the Pesticide Action Network of Blaine County to stay current on non-pesticide methods of weed control. Anytime you have questions about controlling noxious weeds or what the BCWD requires if you have weeds, don’t hesitate to contact us at 7885516. You can also find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ bccwma tws This column is brought to you by Blaine County Weed Management.

Mix of annuals and perennials in a corner of the Habitat.
Summer’s Pulse STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO
F
irst came the quiet—a silence that signified everything to come. Then a hand of the afternoon wind swept through and, like a maestro, brought forth an ensemble of sound from the various trees, shrubs and grasses: the sheen of cymbals, the sizzle of maracas, an undertone of whispers topped by the tympanic tones and thumps of thunder. Drop by drop the rain came, and with it another mix of sounds and smells. They rose as the rain fell… breath of the pungent earth and the flesh of plants. They grew and danced with the brief crescendo of the downpour until it all subsided into a restful adagio of bird chatter. They all chimed in, song atop song, call after call, energized, refreshed and, for a moment, unwary of the world, one briefly awakened from its heat-induced slumber. The summer approaches another time of transition, as slowly but surely the dog days recede. We’re not at the point where plants dial back their growth. Generally, that doesn’t start until we reach the Sept. 21 equinox. Right now there’s plenty of new growth. Cut-down season began here in the Habitat a few weeks ago. Since then those plants have been re-blooming, though on a more modest scale (cornflowers, oxeyes, wild geraniums, flax). Some, like the cerastiums, held off flowering until the water arrived, as did some scarlet gilia, which obviously prefers spring rains, after which it becomes drought tolerant. A lot of our native plants count on seasonal water, just like resorts
count on the holidays, after which they can go through their life cycles, the length of which is fungible. The key to xeric plants is to know when to water. Even the most arid of areas have some seasonal rains and runoff. Plants and seeds have learned to time that, which is why local seeds from the survivors are better than seeds and plants from distant purveyors. Even though it’s still hot, now I water only selectively every fourth day. A few plants get watered from a gallon jar to tide them over. In spring, I seed a mix of annuals among the dominant cornflowers, yarrow, oxeyes, flax and mallow. As those go by and get cut back, I create a wildfire effect, as the annuals come to life as they get more sun. This creates charming late-season color from the likes of scarlet flax, clarkia, poppies and an olio of California wildflowers. I strongly recommend the seed mix from Territorial Seed (a full-service organic supplier along with Peaceful Valley) called Bohemian Rhapsody. It contains over 20 small wildflowers, most of which I’ve never seen. Sprinkle some in a pot (May) and you’ll have a mobile centerpiece. They like light shade, a.m. or p.m., and a little periodic water. Feed with a liquid organic fertilizer (3-33) made for containers, which lose their fertility faster than a garden plot. Low-number organic fertilizers are slow release, so they won’t ‘juice’ the plants. That seed mix is also good for borders and windowboxes. Six hours of tws sun is plenty. If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

Making a Splash at the YMCA STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
J
ohn Sisko considers his day a success if he can get a third-grader to put his face in the water. “You measure these kids’ growth in little steps. You start out teaching them to lay flat on their back. Then they learn to kick their feet in the water—the bigger the splash the better. And with each step you see their level of excitement going up,” he said. Sisko is a swimming coach for the Wood River Community YMCA. As such, he’s one of a handful of swimming coaches charged with teaching third-graders how to swim. The Make-a-Splash learn-toswim program taught more than 200 kids to swim or to become better swimmers last year. Last year was the third year the program was offered. The program got a boost last week when the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation awarded it a $7,500 grant to teach basic swimming and water-safety skills to third-graders. “The service is needed because drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the country and Idaho has the third worst drowning rate in the nation,” said the Y’s aquatic director Jake DeVries.“Fewer than 5 percent of those who don’t learn to swim by third grade will ever learn to swim.” Hemingway Elementary School third-graders make the trip to the Y for six consecutive weeks. It’s the first encounter with the water for 40 percent of
the children, said Rita Remington, third-grade dual immersion teacher. This past spring, three children were so terrified they wouldn’t even get in the water the first day. Instructors sat with them at the edge of the pool, promising them they wouldn’t let them get in over their heads. Eventually, they did get in the shallow pool. They learned how to lean back on the instructors as the instructors got them in a little deeper. Then they learned how to float on their backs, their “belly buttons looking up to the sky.” Finally, they learned to put their faces down in the water, looking for fish at the bottom of the pool. Of the 70 students in the program, only four could swim across the pool the first day. By the end of the six weeks, there were only four students who could not swim the length of the pool. “The key is making it fun and exciting,” said DeVries. And, of course, for those with the skills there’s always the reward of the pool slide at the end of the lessons. “They love it when they come to school on swim day,” said Hemingway’s third-grade dual immersion teacher, Lydia Flynn. “They’re always so excited on swim day.” To date, the Y has worked with Hemingway Elementary third-graders, Woodside Elementary second-graders and Hailey Elementary second-graders. The Y’s goal is to work with every third-grader in Blaine County,
including those from Carey, said Y Director Jason Fry. “No child should ever die in this country simply because he or she doesn’t know how to swim,” he said. “In addition, we see that the program boosts the kids’ self-esteem so it offers rewards beyond lifesaving skills.”

t must be difficult for any woman who has undergone a mastectomy to come to terms with her new body. Lynne Hanson had the additional bonus of being a fashion designer who had to come to grips with a new flat-chested body that no longer fit the dress fashions she had long held sacred. After a few bouts of angst, she began tackling her new identity with a sense of humor—a sense of humor that led to a sometimes hilarious but touching and instructive book titled “Do You think I Need to Wear Boobs with this Dress?: Redesigning Life After Breast Cancer.” Hanson will share her account at 6 p.m. Tuesday at The Community Library in Ketchum followed by a book signing at Iconoclast Books. “The response has been fabulous as we’ve so many survivors here,” said Sarah Hedrick, owner of Iconoclast Books. Hanson, who lives in Washington, D.C., has been coming to Sun Valley since the early 1990s—first to watch her daughter compete in ice skating competitions and later to watch son Ty Cockrum, a skating coach and skater in Sun Valley’s summer ice shows. She calls herself an unlikely author and speaker who asks such questions as: Are breasts an integral part of female identity, society’s requirement of a woman, or simply an accessory? “I’m a 23-year cancer survivor who has had a mastectomy and reconstruction. My body rejected an implant, which left me with few alternatives except a prosthetic, which I found incredibly uncomfortable,” she said. “I said, ‘I’m going to design a clothing line for women who don’t want to wear prosthetics.’ And, as a cathartic measure, I thought I’d write the story of how I developed the line. By chance, I met a publisher who sent it to his editor and they loved it and published it.” Hanson said she is using her story to help husbands and others understand what women go through when faced with changes in their bodies whether from a mastectomy or hysterectomy. For instance, when she asked herself what she’d wished she’d done more of if she died tomor-

Deffe was in a party of mountain bikers led by her husband Steve who biked to the mountaintops south of East Fork Canyon Sunday afternoon to watch flames from the Beaver Creek Fire spot in Deer Creek, Poison Flats and the South Fork of Warm Springs Creek. After making an eight-mile run as far as the Wolftone Creek trail in Deer Creek Saturday, the fire began spotting across Warm Springs Road on Sunday.

said. “I looked down to see two lumps sitting in the middle of my chest—they’d migrated toward each other as if to torture and humiliate me. “I laugh at it now but that story epitomizes my whole journey. I kept telling myself that the young lady with the voluptuous breasts sharing the room with us did not matter. But I was struck by how much it did. And what about my judgment of her—does a curvy body mean that she is more feminine than I am without breasts? Why did I need breasts and a lacy bra to make me feel feminine? Did I need them for me, or is it a requirement of society?”

Ketchum’s New Farnlun Park Dedicated STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
I
t used to provide hay for cattle. Now a piece of farmland once owned by Oscar Smith Farnlun will offer a place for bicyclists and walkers on the bike path to enjoy a respite. About 25 people, including the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Ketchum native Petra Morrison, gathered Monday morning to dedicate the new Farnlun Park southwest of downtown Ketchum along the bike path between Meadow Circle and River Ranch Road. “There’s a reason we’re all standing here today—this is part of what makes this community great,” said Ketchum Mayor Randy Hall, alluding to the donation of the land by Petra Morrison and her sister Ella Marie Bennett. “We all know how active the bike path is. What an asset it is to our community, and what an asset this will be.” The area was homesteaded in 1882 by Nelson Bennett. He gave the ranch to the Pothier family who sold it to the Farnluns in 1917. August Farnlum, the grandfather of Morrison and Bennett, was a Swede who brought his wife and four children to the Wood River Valley in 1894 after being chased out of Colorado by prairie fires. His wife Petra, a Dane he’d met in Nebraska, brought with her a mahogany harpsichord-style piano she had toted across the ocean from Denmark. All the local matrons begged her to give them lessons on it. The Farnluns settled first in Gimlet, a few miles south of Ketchum where miners brought the ore from the Triumph Mine to be loaded on trains. They then

moved to the Olson Ranch— what is now the Lane Ranch— before buying a ranch at Warm Springs Creek Ranch, which until recently served as the site of the Warm Springs Ranch Restaurant and Golf Course. In 1917 the family purchased a second ranch, which included the land where the park now sits. Morrison was born in 1925 in a four-room farmhouse on the lower ranch. Although it was April, the doctor had trouble making his way through the snow from Hailey to deliver her. “We liked it there—it had nice views of the beautiful cliffs,” she said. Later, she added, she moved to a home on a hill in what is now the Weyyakin neighborhood where she used to “run away” to commune with the wildflowers, sagehen and deer. Wayne Morrison, Morrison’s
son, recalled how he and his aunt used to move a hundred of his grandfather’s white-faced cattle along with 50 or 60 calves from the ranch up to Adams Gulch each May, bringing them back by the first of November. “We’d start out above the Flowers’ ranch and move them up as necessary for grazing,” he said. Rob King landscaped the park for free. And Dan Hoffman of Webb Landscaping oversaw the planting of Canadian chokecherry trees, crabapple trees, lilacs, Ponderosa pine, and larch trees, whose needles will turn yellow and fall off in fall. “You’ll see a lot of white blossoms here in spring,” said Juerg Stauffacher, the Swiss-born parks superintendent for the City of Ketchum. The narrow park, which stretches about 250 feet along the bike path, is the fifth new

park that the City of Ketchum has opened in the last six years. Morrison and Bennett donated the land; Morrison also donated $24,000 of the $34,000 needed to landscape the park and outfit it with benches, a sign that tells the story of the park and a winding pathway of decomposed granite. A water fountain will be installed when the bike path is redone in the next couple years. The park was four years in the making, according to the Morrison’s attorney, Debra Kronenberg. Ketchum’s Parks and Recreation Department Director Jennifer Smith said she thinks the park will serve as a wonderful turnaround for families with small children who take on a bike outing from Ketchum. Parking is available at angler access points on both roads. “It’s very pretty,” said Morrison’s daughter, Christie Thomp-

he Sun Valley Figure Skating Club burst onto the scene in Cape Cod Mass., August 1-3, winning no less than three individual national championship titles and besting theatrical skating troupes to claim victory in group Production Ensemble at the 2013 US Figure Skating National Showcase Championships. The Individual Event Champions… Winning final rounds in their events to claim 2013 national titles were Alexandra Harten: 2013 U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase Novice Light Entertainment Champion; Joyce Chan: 2013 U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase Intermediate Dramatic Entertainment Champion; and Blake Letourneau: 2013 U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase Pre-Juvenile Light Entertainment Champion. Holly Wheeler and Gia Guddat coach Harten, Chan and Letourneau. Guddat designed and choreographed all three winning programs. The National Showcase competition concludes with a final event called the Parade of Champions, in which all individual light and dramatic champions showcase their winning programs one more time before a packed audience. When the final curtain fell, Joyce Chan and Alexandra Harten became the first Sun Valley skaters ever to make the podium in a National Showcase Parade of Champions. Joyce’s dramatic program won the second-place best overall trophy, and Alexandra’s comedy program won the fourth-place
best overall trophy. Blake narrowly missed the Junior Parade of Champions podium, placing fifth. The Famous Potatoes on YouTube… At the end of the day, all nine Sun Valley competitors came home champions. This is because of an offbeat and contagiously funny group Production Ensemble called “The Famous Potatoes.” In a side-splitting departure from the usual National Showcase fare of Broadway tunes and cautiously themed montages, Sun Valley’s nine-skater team took a risk that worked: they donned human-sized baked potato costumes and brought the house down with a hysterical comedy montage of potato-related pop culture songs. The judges loved it. The audience loved it. It won! Designed by internationally renowned choreographer Gia Guddat with assistance from “Sun Valley On Ice” soloist Craig Heath, and featuring over-thetop amazing costumes by Lucy Bourret, the dark horse favorite “Famous Potatoes” included

Joyce Chan and Lane Letourneau won silver medals for their qualifying events, Intermediate Dramatic and Teen Light Entertainment, respectively. These medalists advanced to final rounds. Additional qualifying-round medalists were Alex Stuessi, who won a bronze medal in Pre-Juvenile Dramatic Entertainment; Katie Peters, who won a bronze medal in Preliminary Dramatic Entertainment, Group B; and Alexandra Harten and Joyce Chan, who took fourthplace medals in Novice Level Duet. The skaters were accompanied to National Showcase by much appreciated coaches Holly Wheeler and Gia Guddat, who calmly put each skater on the ice, did hair and makeup, assembled props and fixed costumes from dawn to well past dusk, like superhuman beings. tws
yle Clark, Wood River High School student carrying a 3.7 grade point average, loves the outdoors but he especially loves fishing. “I started as soon as I could hold a rod. I remember my dad taking me over Trail Creek to fish and I was hooked. It’s just a great escape for me to go and fish by myself. You get to relax and do what you want to do.” Actually, Clark was all of 4 years old when he got his first spinning reel. “I was too little to do anything but reel in the fish. But still, my greatest memory was the first fish I caught at Penny Lake. I remember seeing it rising, so I cast it over to where it was and we got him! At 8 I got my first fly rod and a fly-tying kit and it was off from there.” As always, there was a learning curve. “It was real frustrating at first but it was a blast once you caught a few and when I saw them come up for the fly I was hooked. Back then I fished once every couple of weeks, but now it’s three or four times a week or more.” Clark added, “I don’t know how to describe the experience. It’s all about the feel

of the rod as you cast. It’s just something that you develop. At Silver Creek you see a feeding fish keep coming to eat flies in the drift. You stalk them and put the fly upstream and float it over them and see the fish turn up and smash it. You can see their nose come out of the water, then see their heads come out and get it.” Along the way, Clark has fished Florida, Montana, Nevada and all of Idaho. “There is so much great fishing in this valley.
You can fish Silver Creek, the Big Wood and over Trail Creek summit – which is my favorite. The country is so beautiful and it has small rivers with really big fish in numbers. The whole area supports beautiful, wild fish. Another great place is Pyramid Lake in Nevada. The fish are unreal and there are a lot of great people there.” Clark’s senior project was to create a video on tying flies. “I demonstrated the tying of eight fly patterns but I learned a lot more than just the eight in the video. I also learned the entomology of bugs and how their life cycles play a key role in fly fishing. You need to know what they are feeding on and what stage they are in. There are actually millions of types of bugs. Time also plays a factor. Fish are more active in the mornings and evenings but in the middle of the day they feed on grasshoppers. After I got my fly kit at 8 I never stopped learning. There is a big learning curve and always new techniques to do the same things.” He aptly applies those tws lessons to life as well.

Increasing Tourism And Jobs
A group of citizens aiming to increase tourism and jobs in the community have stepped forward to campaign for a 1 percent increase to the local option tax in Ketchum, a ballot measure that will come before city voters in the November 2013 election. The group, called the “Ketchum Tourism and Jobs Initiative,” formed because members believe that increased air service plays a pivotal role in increasing tourist visits to the valley, protecting local jobs and creating new jobs. Bryan Furlong, a member of the newly formed group, supports the initiative because he knows firsthand how tourism affects small businesses and the local economy. Charles Friedman, a local Ketchum resident and voter, is a member of the committee. He sees tourism as the backbone of the local economy and he thinks that this effort is critical to keeping jobs in the valley. “I know many people whose businesses are directly affected by the number of tourists who visit our valley each year,” Friedman says. “Increasing tourism will help protect good jobs in our community.” Proceeds from a successful ballot measure will be used to market direct flights to Sun Valley and to help in contracting additional non-stop flights to Friedman Memorial Airport. The measure was on the ballot in November 2012 in Sun Valley, Ketchum and Hailey. It passed in Sun Valley but fell just short in Ketchum and Hailey. Supporters say increased air service makes the Wood River Valley a more attractive place to do business. “It will encourage new businesses to locate here and allow existing businesses to more easily grow and create jobs,” says Friedman. Members of the Ketchum Tourism and Jobs Initiative will be speaking with voters about the initiative at various venues and events in the community this summer and fall.

Celebrating Music And Life BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR, KSKI-FM/KYZK-FM
O
ne of the more memorable moments in my life was when Kate McGarrigle dedicated “Heart Like A Wheel” to me at a show in Boston; it made me cry. I had worked Kate & Anna McGarrigle’s self-titled album to radio while I was on the other side of the music business, and “Heart Like A Wheel” is, to this day, one of my favorite songs of theirs. I was saddened by her death in 2010, but she left behind a legacy of music that will live forever. That legacy is celebrated in Sing Me The Songs, a two-disc collection of live renditions of her songs done in three celebratory concerts held at the Royal Festival Hall in London in 2010, Town Hall in New York City in 2011 and the
Luminato Festival in Toronto in 2012. Kate and Anna’s band members, Chaim Tannenbaum, Joel Zifkin and Michel Pepin, joined members of the McGarrigle clan (Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Anna and Jane McGarrigle, Lily and Sylvan Lanken) and a host of collaborating artists like Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris and Peggy Seeger to celebrate the music of one of folk music’s great singers and writers. The event even brought two people I thought would never share the same stage together again—Richard and Linda Thompson. All the greats are covered: “Love Over And Over,” “Heart Like A Wheel,” “Entre La Jeunesse Et La Sagesse,” and 31 others. I remember Kate fondly and happily, and I will hold her music in my heart. tws

Samurai Superhero BY JONATHAN KANE
I
t is truly hard to believe but Hollywood has come up with a good summer blockbuster superhero movie and it features one of the comic’s most beloved characters – the Wolverine of the X-Men series. The selfsame titled movie, The Wolverine, delights in its smaller, quieter moments as well as the great action sequences where we are not bombarded with CGI excess and explosions that rock the very foundation of the globe, a la Ironman 3 and the dreadful Man of Steel. But what makes the movie really good is that people like myself that have never seen an X-Men movie or read the comic books or know the slightest thing about the Wolverine can really enjoy it, with no problem, which is a feat unto itself. Also great is that there is no backstory, only a self-contained adventure set in the exotic locale of Japan. The film is deftly directed by James Mangold, who directed the excellent Walk The Line,

The group formed in 2006 as a musical tribute to Carlos Santana and a playlist that includes “Black Magic Woman,” “Evil Ways,” “Supernatural” and “Maria Maria.” Santana, who has 10 Grammys to his name, burst onto the music scene in 1969 when he infused Woodstock with his electric blues-rock guitar and Afro-Cuban rhythms accented by timbales and congas. The free concert—the last Ketch’em Alive of the season— starts with a lead-off band at 7 p.m., followed by Abraxas from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Ketchum’s Forest Service Park, First and Washington streets. Other free vibes this week;
Tonight—Up A Creek, a local Americana band, will play The Wicked Spud’s Wicked Wednesdays concert series from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday—The final 6 at Sochi fundraiser for local athletes hoping to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, will feature live music from 5 to 9 p.m. at Ketchum Town Square outside Starbucks. Pop powerhouse George DeVore of Austin, Texas, is making a return trip to the Wood River Valley to play at Mahoney’s Bar & Grill in Bellevue. DeVore will perform a free outdoor show at 6:30 p.m. Thursday as part of the bar’s 2013 summer concert series. DeVore is praised for his songs, which typically involve putting a positive spin on the bad things in life. DeVore, who appeared last week at the Braun Brothers Reunion, took “Best Tape” award in the Austin Music Awards in 1996. Since then, he has been recognized in its top five categories, including rock, pop and male vocalist. He’s toured Europe five times in the
Jon rated this movie
and stars the always great Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine, who can’t die and because of this is seemingly always in an existential crisis. This aspect of his core is the central plot point of the movie as he travels to Japan at the invitation of the soldier that he saved in 1945 at the Nagasaki blast and who is now a titan of Japanese industry. His motive is to give the Wolverine mortality and steal his power for himself. When he dies, his fortune is bequeathed to his beautiful daughter who everyone seems to want to kidnap and who the Wolverine decides to protect and eventually romance. Except for a silly final sequence, the action is terrific and has a heavy dose of samurai swordplay and ninja acrobatics. If you see one blockbuster this summer, make it this one.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR AUG 14TH FROM PICABO ANGLER
W
e are well into August fishing right now and that means the best fishing is at low light. The best fishing may be the Trico action in the mornings. Great fishing during Trico spinner falls is happening on Silver Creek, the Big Wood, the Little Wood, and the Lost River. The Trico Hackle Stacker has been a great fly this summer. Fish it in an 18 or 20 and have some dry shake to keep it visible and riding on its hackle tips. A very dry, high riding fly will take a lot more fish than a half-submerged, soaking wet fly. Fishing with 6X tippets is a good choice, and we also have the Trout Hunter 6.5X tippet. Along with the Trico keep a variety of flies in your box for the coming weeks. These should include Callibaetis, Baetis, P.M.D. and Pink Albert. Elk Hair Caddis flies for the evening are also a good choice. Hoppers and Mouse flies are also in the mix. The Hopper fishing this week has been excellent and should continue to get better and better as we head towards the fall. Sadly the South Fork of the Boise is most likely out of the mix for some time, as Forest Fires tear through the mountains between the Wood River Valley and the waters to our West. This may indeed affect the Big Wood as well, but so far it’s still fishing. The Silver Creek valley has been incredibly smoke free as Northwest winds continue to blow the smoke away from the Creek. If you need a place to camp or get away for a few days, come on down to the Creek with your tent and all your Hoppers. Picabo Angler is in full swing and we can get you pointed toward some great fishing on the Creek and the waters to our East. We have flies for day trips to the Lost and Little Wood and we can certainly pack you a lunch and fill your cooler as well. Our guide staff is also standing by to show you and yours some great fishing out of the smoky areas. Don’t let the fires bring you down! We still have lots to do. If you’ve never done it, try bass fishing on Carey Lake, Carp fishing the Snake River, Mountain Stream fishing on numerous little creeks, and one of our favorites Mouse Fishing Silver Creek at night!!!

t starts with an act of revenge. But, as in so many of Shakespeare’s plays, it’s triumphed by an act of forgiveness. Such is the case with “The Tempest,” which the Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival will stage Aug. 15 through 25 in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park. Bowed by a tempest that left him and his daughter stranded at sea, the magician Prospero conjures up a tempest for those who usurped his power that he might see them suffer as he has suffered and teach them a lesson in the process. But the islanders on whose island he has been stranded for 12 years expose him for what he is—an embittered man hell-bent on revenge. “It is a native of the island who jolts Prospero into self-awareness so that he can reconcile with his enemies, as well as his own demons,” said the play’s director, Freddie Harris Ramsby. The story, which addresses issues like power and control, differs from Shakespeare’s other comedies in that it is a more well-rounded story, said Matt Gorby, who plays one of the clowns. “Most of his plays involve mistaken identity. There are no twins here—just a fun show.” “This was supposedly the last play that Shakespeare wrote by himself,” added Peter Burke, who plays Ariel. “And it’s a good play for all ages. Shakespeare gets the reputation of being hoity toity, but what he writes about in this play definitely relates to what 16-year-olds have on their minds.” Taking a line from Polonius in Hamlet, “Brevity is the soul of wit,” Director Freddie Ramsby has cut the play from three hours to one-and-a-half hours. But she’s declined to water down Shakespeare’s bawdy jokes or his penchant for letting actors mess with the audience. Music director Connor Wade has infused the play with music, as there was in Shakespeare’s day. But, instead of madrigals, you can expect contemporary songs that bear some connection to the play, including Bob Dylan’s ‘Shelter From the Storm’
Matt and Sara Gorby play the clowns Stephano and Trinculo. Designed to show audiences how fallible Prospero is, they plan to take over the island, even though their endeavors turn into a comedy of errors in their drunken state. COURTESY PhotOS
and ‘A Hard Rain is Going to Fall,’ Portishead’s ‘Deep Water,’ The Decemberists’ ‘The Island,’ Rupert Holmes’ ‘The Piña Colada Song’ and Otis Redding’s ‘Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.’ Ramsby has chosen to keep props and staging minimalist with the set resembling a backstage area with stepladders, trunks, clothing racks and books. And actors will begin in street clothes, coming into the play by putting on costumes. “This constantly reminds us that we are watching a play. In ‘The Tempest,’ Shakespeare prompts us to consider that the distinction between art and life is blurred,” she said. “We’re really blurring the fourth wall,” added Burke. The play, which features the line, “We are such stuff as dreams are made on,” features Keith Moore as Prospero; Peter Burke, Ariel, the spirit of fire and air; Brett Moellenberg, the villainous Caliban; Brooke Allen, Miranda, Prospero’s daughter; Jamie Wygle, Ferdinand, the Prince of Naples; Harry Dreyfuss, Sebastian; Jana Arnold, Gonzalo; Patsy Wygle, Alonzo; and Matt and Sara Gorby, the two clowns. Other cast members include Emmet Fortuin, Steve d’Smith and Drake Arial. “It doesn’t get any better than being a pair of Shakespeare’s clowns,” said Sara Gorby. “We

play the mirror image of what’s going on with Prospero, showing the comic side of what Prospero’s trying to do, giving the audiences a chance to laugh in the process.” “We don’t know Prospero, but we’re told if we kill him the island is ours,” added Matt Gorby. “So that, of course, gets us going on a wild goose chase...” tws

Cooking With A New Twist for Your Hagerman Corn Brian Boitano I from margot’s table to yours
BY MARGOT VAN HORN

But did you know he cooks, too? Boitano has a series, “What Would Brian Boitano Make?” on the Cooking Channel where he puts his unique spin on such dishes as Chicken Paella Burgers and Bourbon Bacon Apple Tarts while hosting get-togethers at his home in San Francisco. And now he’s about to regale Sun Valley audiences with a cooking demonstration featuring recipes from his latest cookbook, “What Would Brian Boitano Make?” The demonstration, held
Thursday, August 22, will be a fundraiser for the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. Special appetizers and signature cocktails will be the theme.

love our wonderful Hagerman white corn. So, while it lasts and is so well priced, here’s a recipe that I thought was easy to make and very good to eat. Hope you enjoy it as well. Creamless Creamed Corn with Shitakes and Lemon Serves 6
Ingredients: 6 medium-sized shitake mushrooms (I used the fresh but, if you wish, use the dry and dehydrate them in boiling water for 15 minutes before using.) 10 ears white corn, shucked 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 medium shallots, minced 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest 1 Tbsp. lemon juice Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions: Place a grater (the box or ladder kind) in a large deep bowl. I put the bowl in my sink to keep the splattering to a minimum because the following process can be a bit messy. On the coarse side of the grater, grate 5 ears of the corn all the way to the cob. With the other 5 ears, take a serrated knife and cut off the kernels. Then coarse grate the empty cobs to release all of their juices. If you wish to have fewer whole kernels, totally grate more of the ears and leave fewer for the larger kernel selection. (You can also release the cob juices with the dull side of a knife; however, I found that grating them on the coarse side of my grater did the trick very nicely.) Mince the shitake mushrooms. Over medium-high heat, place your oil and, when it is hot, add the mushrooms, shallots and
garlic. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook them, stirring every now and then, until softened—about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to high and when the oil sizzles (you may want to add more oil if you feel there isn’t enough), add the corn and its juices. Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, till corn is thick and shiny—about 3 minutes. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!!!!

Valley Author Dennis Higman Presents New Novel Thursday at The Community Library Local author and feature writer Dennis Higman will give a free presentation at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 15 at The Community Library in Ketchum. It will focus on his most recent published novel, “Dreams of Appaloosas: A Love Story.” Higman said the book was inspired by the experience of living in the remote high mountain desert near Sun Valley with only his wife, Lee, an artist, their dogs, horses, wildlife and wandering spirits of the Shoshone Indians who hunted there thousands of years ago for company. “It’s the kind of place where imagination thrives and spirits ride the wind,” he said. “We were surrounded by wild animals and birds with a relentless will to survive and every once in a while we came across pottery shards and magnificent arrowheads, all of which got me to thinking about what we call reality.” “Dreams of Appaloosas” tells the story of Allison, 37, a successful California painter and avid horsewoman, deeply in love with her older husband, who refuses to accept his death or give up their dream of an Appaloosa sanctuary to honor Nez Perce Indi-
ans murdered on their ranch at the famous Battle of the Big Hole. Instead, she creates an alternate world through paintings, letters and dreams so she can carry on their love affair for eternity. “I concluded that reality is not necessarily what we see at the moment, and it’s certainly not history, much of which is a pack of lies or distortions by people with an axe to grind but, rather, that reality is what we personally sense, feel and believe about the world as it exists around us—and what we do and create based on that belief,” Higman said. “With that in mind, I decided to write a book about a world where those we love—family, friends and animals—are a constant presence, a love that never dies… a place of incredible beauty but haunted by a violent past with unmarked graves of the first Americans whose wandering spirits cry out for redemption.” Higman is the author of two previous novels, “Pranks” and “Laura Jordon” and, with his wife Lee, wrote “Dot’s Story,” a children’s book about their shelter dog.

Library Smashes Records
More than 15,000 library users used The Community Library during the month of July. This surpassed all previous records by more than 1,000 users, and the number came close to equaling the highest traffic rate for August. This means library staff assisted an average of 582 patrons per day during the month of July. Tech Wednesday’s cutting-edge “Top Ten Apps Class” also marked a new record with 53 people in attendance on July 31. Lecture room programs averaged audiences of 80 people. There were more than 120 patrons at four different events in July alone, with overflow seating required for two of the events. And the Children’s Library had an unprecedented response to the Summer Reading Program with a 30 percent increase in program completion rates, said the library’s development coordinator, Dana Marino.
Clint Black to Play Pavilion Sept. 12
The Sun Valley Center for the Arts has just announced “An evening with Clint Black” at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 12 at the Sun Valley Pavilion. This was an opportunity that was too good to pass up,” said Kristine Bretall, director of marketing and performing arts. “Clint Black is a fantastic country musician and when his agent let us know he’d be traveling close by, we couldn’t let him pass by without stopping!” Clint Black is country music singer-songwriter, record producer, multi-instrumentalist and occasional actor. Signed to RCA Records in 1989, Black made his debut with his Killin’ Time album, which produced four straight No. 1 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. In addition to his No. 1 singles, Black has amassed more than 30 singles on the Billboard charts. Known for his more classic, traditional country style, Black was strongly influenced by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. In his performance in Sun Valley, Black will perform an intimate show—with just four musicians on stage. “This show will be an incredible performance under the tent at the Pavilion. Because of the small ensemble that Clint Black will be playing with, we decided it would be best just to seat people under the Pavilion and not sell lawn tickets, so everyone will have great seats, great sound, and an intimate experience,” said Bretall. Tickets are on sale now. Sun Valley Center members will receive discounts on their tickets and prices range from $40 to $110. Tickets may be purchased online at www.sunvalleycenter.org or in person at The Center or by phone 208-726-9491, ext. 110.

As health system transformation gets underway, patients will begin to take a larger role in their own healthcare. Engaged patients are more likely to participate in preventive and healthy practices, manage their conditions, and achieve better outcomes. To support patient engagement, healthcare systems in Idaho are working to make health information available to patients electronically. A federal program that provides incentives to healthcare providers and hospitals to help them adopt electronic health records will begin requiring healthcare providers and hospitals to make health information available to patients online in 2014. Not all Idahoans have a computer or Internet access in their homes. “Idaho’s public libraries can play a critical role in helping Idaho residents cross the digital divide when it comes to accessing health information online,” said state librarian Ann Joslin. “The libraries have free Internet and public access computers. In many communities, this is the only free public Internet access available.” See more at http://libraries.idaho. gov/health-records-online.

Ken Lutz and Marci Onofrio catch up on old times at the Old-Timers Picnic.
STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
pparently, Bill Janss didn’t need the Sun Valley Gun Club. When woodpeckers started making indentations in the rough cedar siding on his house in Trail Creek, Bill tried to scare them off with a shotgun. The then-owner of Sun Valley reached for the shotgun again when beavers started cutting down the aspen along the fairways, Bud Siemon, Don Keirns and Ken Zimmerman recalled. “We were out there with a foursome—Ken and myself and Wally Huffman and Ray Cox—and we’d hit a golf ball and ‘Bang!’ He couldn’t find the beavers so he started shooting golfballs out of the air!” recalled Siemon. The stories came fast and furious Saturday at the annual Sun Valley Old-Timers Picnic held Saturday afternoon at Rotary Park in Ketchum. The picnic started in the early 1960s when Union Pacific Railroad still owned Sun Valley. So many people attended Saturday—a record-breaking crowd of more than 200—that organizers ran out of nametags on which they could inscribe what part of Sun Valley Company they worked for, said Vicky Graves. Most of the people here worked for Sun Valley in the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, said Graves. A few, like Tony Nykiel, came from as far away as Omaha, Neb. Bob Lutz recalled that he took a job with the ski school in February 1964 after spending the first couple months of the winter on the ski patrol. He was one of 10 Americans then on a school of 45 instructors. “I didn’t fake an accent but there were a couple guys who did, including Jim Hitson,” he said. There were no instruction manuals for teaching skiing in those days, Lutz recalled, so he shadowed some of the instructors in the days leading up to his debut with the ski school. Those were the days when guests spent an entire week with their instructors, even joining them for beers at The Ram and dancing at night. “I met a lot of interesting people working for the school. One of my students—Judy— talked about how she and her husband were so poor they could barely afford the trip. Years later one of the contractors came into my rental outfit wanting a forklift and it turned out that it was for George Argyros and his wife who, by now, went by the name Julia. By that time George owned the Seattle Mariners. And when I visited Southern California I ran across an emergency department at a hospital that had been named for them because of the donation they’d made.” Four years later, in 1968, Jane Kneeland—then head of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation—convinced Lutz he could

coach ski racing while starting up Lutz Rentals. “Sigi Engl, the head of the ski school, didn’t want me to quit. He said they wouldn’t have enough money to pay me,” he recalled. “Aside from that, Sigi was a wonderful, caring man, very interested in his employees’ well-being. He was like a father figure.” On Bogner and shrapnel… Marci Onofrio also joined Sun Valley in 1963: “Ned Bell said, ‘I don’t have a job for you yet but I will’ and the next day I was serving oysters and tomato juice to all the drunks coming through the line at the Sun Valley Inn cafeteria,” she recalled, describing the pigtails that hung down to her waist in those days. “My favorite job, though, was that of cocktail waitress at the Boiler Room. I made so much money there I bought a Bogner outfit that matched my skis.” Bud Siemon served as the unofficial biographer for several of the attendees, including Harry Holmes, who made 27 missions as a B17 gunner. Holmes was hit by shrapnel at 28,000 feet, but the temperature was so cold his blood froze, keeping him from dying, Siemon said. “Harry also said: ‘The only thing dumber than golfers is skiers,’ ” Siemon added, as Holmes howled in protest. Ken Carlson, who worked in the Duchin Room from 1974 to 1975, recalled how you couldn’t go through the lodge to get to the ice rink in those days—you had to walk around. And Bobbie Zimmerman confided to Val Siemon about her girlfriend’s boyfriend who used to climb into the employee dorm via Zimmerman’s window. “I was afraid they’d think he was coming to see me,” she said. Cheering on Sun Valleyites above the Arctic Circle Val Siemon, meanwhile, talked about the great adventures Sun Valley employees had, including a 1954 trip eight of them took on a 12-day trip across the Atlantic on the Stavanger Fjord to see Jeanette Burr Johnson, a Sun Valley racer who was competing in the World Championships above the Arctic Circle. The trip cost $125, food includ-
ed. “And because we were from Sun Valley, Stein Erickson met us in Oslo,” she recalled. “Those were the days of Buddy Werner. I remember skiers climbed up a mountain like Dollar Mountain, and then skied down. Then, they carried their skis up a mountain the size of Baldy and skied down that. We just had a terrific time.” Pat Bartholomew recalled how she came in 1952 and her husband Bart in 1954. “In those days you could walk up any canyon to get away from civilization. We’d go backpacking where there was nothing on the map,” she said. “We also spent a lot of time trying to save the Sawtooth Wilderness after they wanted to develop the area around Castle Peak. “I was working one day in the old Ex Libris bookstore and in walked a couple of customers in corduroy and leather boots. Turned out it was Grant and Jane McConnell, who had saved the Cascades. We invited them over to our little group to tell us how to go about organizing to save the White Clouds.” Former ski patrol director Nelson Bennett, now 98, said he has been at every Old-Timers Picnic they’ve had since he came to Sun Valley in 1940. Nelson said he drove from his home in New Hampshire—“I was running away because I didn’t want to work at the mill”—at the suggestion of former ski racing rival Dick Durrance. “I drove all night and pulled into a wide spot on the road to catch some sleep—it turned out it was the town dump in what is now Hulen Meadows,” he recalled. “I got a job and drove home to get my things.” Nelson recounted working at Sports Desk in summer of that year, waiting on Ernest Hemingway as he arranged hunting and fishing trips. “He was a likeable guy. And I’d just finished reading one of his books so that made it all the more special.” And what does Bennett attribute to getting yet another Old-Timers Picnic under his belt at the age of 98? “Simple!” he said. “I have just been my ornery, nasty self all my life.” tws

Obtaining Your Peak Performance BY DR. MARIA MARICICH
W
ith the arrival of August comes the sad thought that summer is coming to an end in the Wood River Valley. That means that hiking, biking, tennis, fishing and other summertime activities will be less accessible. Hence, the bike paths are full of humans on wheels and the parking lots at recreation sites are overflowing as we all try to get the most out of summer. We do it for fun, but we also do it because we know that exercise is good for us. Many of us do it because we want to be “better” than we were or we have some goal to reach. We all know that working out regularly causes the body to get in shape. But what if there were something holding you back that you didn’t know about? Or what if your favorite activity were actually causing more wear and tear than it should? Or what if you are an accident waiting to happen? Muscular, structural or neurological imbalances are quite common and often go unnoticed. However, they can affect your athletic ability and, worse yet, make you more prone to injury. There can also be metabolic imbalances that will slow your progress and what you might think of as your peak performance. For example, the powerhouse of the cell, called the mitochondria, may not be functioning efficiently to produce energy, or perhaps the liver is congested
and unable to provide fuel to the cells as quick as needed. These are just a few examples of metabolic imbalances that are easily addressed using nutrition and Functional Medicine. More on that in a moment. As a chiropractor I look for muscular, structural and neurological imbalances that can be affecting physical performance. People are often surprised when they realize these have been present for a long time and they hadn’t noticed them. You can do a quick assessment on yourself. Stand in front of a mirror and notice if you have one ear, shoulder of hip higher than the other. Also notice if you have forward head posture. If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you have a structural imbalance that could make you more prone to injury, or it could be affecting your performance. Usually these structural imbalances come from the muscles not
working right or, worse yet, the nerves that feed the muscles not working right. Functional Medicine is an area of medicine where we look for underlying metabolic imbalances that could cause disease, rather than just treat the disease. The same imbalances can diminish your performance and wellbeing in any area of life even before a disease manifests. Using specialized lab tests, we can often discover problems that your medical doctor would not likely find because they are trained to look for and treat the disease when it appears. So in the example above of energy production or liver congestion, using simple tests we can determine function. In this health-conscious community in which we live, these are a few more ways you can enhance your health, performance and overall wellbeing. Peak performance, health and even longevity go hand-in-hand for both the athletic and nonathletic patient, regardless of age. If you wish to know more, see your chiropractor or holistic doctor. tws

A Gorgeous Day Inside BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH
I
t was such a gorgeous day inside yesterday that I decided to stay in and take the time to putter around. When I putter, my thoughts tend to run wild and I project inwardly like there’s no one watching. I realized I was at that sweet spot in life where I’m equally irritated by old people as well as young people, so I thought it best to remain inside until the mood shifted. I turned on the television to watch “America’s Got Grammar” and soon nodded off. I was having a dream about Sur-Real Estate in Sun Valley when my alarm clock went off and melted on my side table. Woke me right up. There was a soap opera on called “The Intensive Don’t Care Unit” and an attractive nurse was saying: “She liked her men like she liked her Zero: Dark and Thirty…” Or some words like that, I can’t remember. I changed the channel and began my puttering in earnest. There were a lot of magazines that had been piling up over the weeks without being read. I decided to go through them to see
what I had been missing. The AARP magazine promised an interesting story entitled “How Old Were You When You Told Your Parents That They Were Gay?” I put that aside for later and picked up “Sport Magazine.” One article started with: “I’m looking forward to watching Tim Tebow watch the Patriots this year…” There was another sentence that caught my eye: “If Aaron Hernandez had won the Heisman Trophy, then, he could have murdered anyone he wanted to…” I threw down those slick rags and decided to make myself a cup of coffee and listened to the commercials on the “telly:” “One out of five people meet while using online dating. The other four used alcohol.” Then I heard: “Always choose your realtor based on the quality of their advertisement on supermarket conveyor belt dividers…” Then, “Nobody puts the royal baby in the corner!” My coffee was ready and I bolted it down and went back to bed. It sure was a gorgeous day inside. Nice talking to you. tws

Driveway Gulch
Fair vs. Equal BY WENDELL CAYTON
W
hile the majority of estates can readily be converted to cash and divided equally among the children of the decedents, for others it’s not always that easy. This is particularly the case with family farms or family-owned businesses where several generations often work in the enterprise. Throw into the mix siblings who elect other paths in life, and the estate planning issue centers on “fair versus equal.” Handling this thorny question without a plan can lead to catastrophic, unintended consequences that have the potential to destroy family relationships and possibly the one heirloom the will-maker most intended to stay in the family… the family business or farm. To illustrate the point let’s walk through a hypothetical scenario. Mom and Dad are third-generation ranchers. Their properties and holdings, most in the form of business assets and real estate, are worth $6 million. They have three children, all three who finished college. Child A got an Ag degree, is married and has worked on the ranch his whole life. Child B went to medical school and is a successful, affluent physician in Boise, married with children. Child C is an elementary school teacher married to another teacher.
If Mom and Dad elect an equal distribution with all assets to be divided equally among the three, Child A will have to either sell the properties and business, losing his livelihood, or borrow heavily to buy out the $4 million interests of the other two. Even if he could get the loan, he would be under extreme pressure to pay the interest and principal payments from income generated by the business and real estate. But, everything is equal. Dad might say, “Let’s be fair and give Child A the ranch since he has put his life into it.” B might say, “That’s okay because I am doing well and you paid for my medical school.” C, on the other hand, not only needs the money but feels slighted in the process. Fair is not always a good outcome. Dad says why not make the other two children partners with their brother in the ranch. Let the ranch pay them income…but Child A says “Wait a minute, I need that income to grow… not pay out my capital to nonproductive owners.” And, the two passive earners would have to approve major expenditures or new debt, again not in their best interest. One solution is to use life insurance to provide the liquidity needed to “even up” the estate, provided it is not owned by Mother or Dad. The son could own a policy on Dad’s life that would give him capital to buy out his siblings. Or, the parents
could buy a “second to die” policy inside a life insurance trust that would accomplish the same thing. Either way the proceeds are out of the parents’ estate and not subject to estate tax. Another solution is to use different forms of business ownership, such as an S Corporation for part and maybe a family limited partnership for another part in order to gift portions of the estate to the different heirs over the lifetime of the parents. To make this, or any other solution, work, several key items must be addressed. First the real goals of Mom and Dad have to be identified and set forth in a will. Second, and most important, Mom and Dad need to have a frank, open discussion about their plans with all three children and spouses, putting all cards on the table. If there are disagreements, this is the time to work them out while there is still an opportunity to avoid a potentially nasty family feud! tws

Sagebrush Soiree Was a Huge Success The Sawtooth Society’s primary annual fundraiser, The Sagebrush Soiree, was not only a sell-out but it was also a huge success in raising money and support to fulfill the Sawtooth Society’s mission to preserve, protect and enhance the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (NRA). The Sagebrush Soiree took place in late July at the historic Busterback Ranch in the beautiful Sawtooth Valley. The event’s 200-plus guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner, dancing, incredible views and the chance to share Sawtooth NRA experiences as well as an opportunity to support the Sawtooth Society’s many projects, including the newly launched Austin Kraal Memorial Volunteer program. This year’s Sagebrush Soiree was record-breaking for the number of attendees, auction items and income generated. “The Austin Kraal Memorial Volun-

For example, several projects involving youth are already complete and they had a unique and memorable experience, accomplished key work on the ground and importantly laid a foundation for long-term partnerships to make the program even stronger in the future.

ABRAMS, from page 1 chestra a connection to the new generation of listeners it hopes to attract, said the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Music Director Leonard Slatkin. Neale invited Abrams to join the Sun Valley Summer Symphony this year, after Abrams presented a few music appreciation lectures last summer. “He’s precociously gifted, extremely talented and bright and he has an unslakable thirst for music,” said Neale. A musical map Abrams said the intros he makes about the pieces he performs are important to engage listeners. “In the past, most people played music. Now, many don’t play music at all. They have a huge capacity for hearing, for enjoying. And they can be great explorers. But, if you drop them down in a dark forest without a map, it can be hard for them to navigate. I try to give people a map, some insight about what’s going on,” he said. On the same note, he formed the Sixth Floor Trio, which majors in jazz, rock and klezmer music, to experiment with ways to engage diverse audiences. The resident ensemble makes spontaneous Random Acts of Culture-type appearances on street corners and department stores. Abrams notes that his Sixth Floor Trio is similar to Time for Three, which received repeat standing ovations from the symphony crowd Sunday night for its skillful mastery of the strings, its exuberance and comic touch. “I’d love for us to be able to play the Sun Valley Symphony,” he said. Abrams, a professed expert on J.R. Tolkien and Oscar Wilde, loves to globe trot, having made his way this year across such far-flung places as Italy and Africa. He also composes several jazz- and rock-flavored pieces a year, a few of which he’s performed with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Abrams is relishing his three weeks with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. “What Alasdair has built here is pretty much unparalleled. Conducting the orchestra is like driving a Ferrari—everything runs so beautifully. Everybody here is an all-star at the peak of his professional career. And everybody’s happy—they come here because they want to, not because they feel an obligation. And the audience is one of the nicest most supportive audiences anywhere.” tws
Sun Valley Summer Symphony Concludes With Holding Tribute STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
he 2013 Sun Valley Summer Symphony season will wrap up next Tuesday, but not before its popular Family Day and a tribute to Earl Holding, who built the Pavilion that the orchestra performs in. The Family Concert at 2 p.m. Saturday will include a performance of “Mr. Smith’s Composition” narrated by Company of Fools’ John Glenn. The piece, by Gregory Smith, who has composed music for Walt Disney theme parks and ESPN/ABC football coverage, tells the story of how a composer creates a composition. “ ‘Mr. Smith’s Composition’ takes the audience on a hilarious and educational journey into the mind of Mr. Smith as he composes,” said symphony spokeswoman Melanie Crandall. “The audience is even drawn into the process by being asked to choose the final ending, which they are encouraged to do by following their hearts.” The tribute to former Sun Valley owner Earl Holding, meanwhile, will close out the season on Tuesday. It will include snatches of Aaron Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man,” which the orchestra performed when the Sun Valley Pavilion opened in 2008. This symphony season has featured crowds covering every spot on the lawn for the opening night featuring violinist Midori, the Bond and Beyond pops night and the mesmerizing performance by young South Korean pianist Joyce Yang of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s “Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor for Piano.” Tony Award nominee narrator Manoel Felciano narrated Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale” as three dancers portrayed the story of the Devil enticing a young soldier. And Time for Three bowled over Sunday’s crowd with their skillful, sometimes comic, interpretation of music like “Shenandoah” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” This year’s season has been marked by delightful weath-
er—with the bonus (like it or not) of brilliant displays of a red sun and the dramatic lighting of clouds, thanks to fires spotting through the backcountry behind Deer Creek north to Baker Peak. This week’s schedule: Thursday—Pianist Orli Shaham, called “a first-rate Mozartean” by “The Chicago Tribune,” will perform Wolfgang Mozart’s “Concerto No. 21 in C Major for Piano.” The orchestra will also perform the “Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber.” Paul Hindemith wrote it after he was driven out of his native Germany in 1938. He arrived in the United States with $10 to his name and landed a position as Professor of Music Theory at Yale University. Friday—The orchestra will perform selections from Claude Debussy’s “Preludes,” which offer hints of Italian-style folk tunes, as well as Moorish exoticism. Also, Debussy’s “La Mer,” which offers a tribute to Debussy’s lifelong love affair with the sea, which he considered the epitome of nature unspoiled by mankind. Saturday (2 p.m.)—The orchestra performs Igor Stravinsky’s chaotic “Infernal Dance” from “The Firebird,” which was based on an old Russian folk tale of a prince who captures a firebird but lets her go when she promises to help him in time of need. Also, Sergei Prokofiev’s “Waltz and Midnight Music” from “Cinderella.” And Gregory Smith’s narrated piece, “Mr. Smith’s Composition,” which gives youngsters and their parents a peek at how a composer creates. Sunday—The Musicians’ Choice Chamber Music program features Wolfgang Mozart’s “Flute Quartet No. 1 in D Major,” as well as a quintet for strings and a sextet for piano and wind instruments. Tuesday—The season finale, a tribute to the late Sun Valley owner Earl Holding, features “America the Beautiful,” which Katharine Lee Bates wrote following a climb up Colorado’s Pikes Peak.
Kids will get a chance to handle instruments during the Instrument Petting Zoo following Saturday’s Family Concert.
Also, Aaron Copland’s Closing Scene from “Appalachian Spring,” which depicts early 19th-century settlers building a home and life in the Pennsylvania hills. And, finally, Copland’s “Symphony No. 3,” which features the famous “Fanfare for the Common Man” theme in various guises throughout the last movement. All performances are free and all start at 6:30 p.m. at the Sun Valley Pavilion, with the exception of the 2 p.m. Family Concert
on Saturday. Newly appointed Assistant Conductor Teddy Abrams will lecture about the music to be performed on Thursday, Friday and Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Sun Valley Opera House. And kids ages 4 through 10 can explore music through hands-on projects with Lisa Petitin in the Kids’ Tent during concerts. Call 208-622-5607 for information and reservations. tws

Dear Classified Guys, Some things are not fair. When the flu starts going around, I have to spend more time at work. You'd think it was because my co-workers were sick and needed to go home to rest. It's actually because their kids are sick. I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but just because I'm the single one with no one at home, I get to stay late and pick up the slack when they need to leave. This is the second job I've had where my coworkers are all married with kids and take unexpected days off or leave early to deal with their family. Snow days are even worse. Either they are late to work or leave early to pick up their kids from school. I wouldn't mind if my paycheck reflected the difference, but there's no bonus for not having kids. I find it frustrating that my jobs have worked this way. Are there any jobs where this doesn't happen?

Your work environment can have a large impact on your home life. A seven year Swedish study of 37,000 workers at 1,500 companies found that working with people of the opposite sex increased the divorce rate by 70%. It didn't matter if the co-workers were single, divorced or married. Sadly, this isn't the first study to support this notion. An online survey of 31,207 men and women had similar results. In this survey 62% of employees admitted to having at least one office affair.
Sick of Work ty of companies that have tighter restrictions on their rules than your current employer. However regardless of the job you choose, it's likely you may have to deal with similar people or situations at your next workplace. Cash: In any work environment you will encounter all sorts of personalities or company policies that can affect your workday. Your company, however, appears to have taken a very lenient role in enforcing their attendance policy. The management may not realize that people leaving early or coming in late affects the morale of the office. Carry: Before you go looking
for another job, consider sharing your concerns with your boss. He or she may be able to help by simply enforcing the policies that are in place or finding a solution that works for everyone. Cash: Both you and your coworkers were hired for specific jobs and each have responsibilities regardless of family situations. Rather than picking up the slack for your co-workers, focus on your responsibilities. If those are done at the end of the day, then you should be able to leave as scheduled. Carry: That should give you more time to enjoy the snowy days!
According to the annual survey of more than 5,300 employers, companies allot about 8½ sick days per year. While there are no government regulations on paid sick leave, some industries provide many more days than others. Government workers fare the best having an average of almost 12 sick days available. Utility companies and not-for-profits average around 11. The service industry has the lowest average with just over 6 days, while manufacturing and tech industries are close behind with around 6½. Maybe it just pays to stay healthy. •

Reader Humor Coffee Saves the Day
I get to see everything as the receptionist for a law firm. Every morning it seems Mary, a paralegal, has all she can do to get to work on time. It's usually due to the line at the coffee shop where she stops on her way in. Unfortunately, her boss, Mr. Rustmyer, is very unforgiving about tardiness. So last Tuesday, when she walked in thirty minutes late with her coffee, she tried to sneak into her office. As she was about to go upstairs, Mr. Rustmyer walked by and caught her still wearing her coat. "Sorry I'm so late," she quickly apologized. "That's quite alright," he replied, sternly taking the cup from her hand, "I appreciate you stopping to get me a cup of coffee." (Thanks to Julie P.)

518 raves “We really want to come back” said Tf3 and I sure hope they do. What a fun and lively concert they did give the last Sunday evening. Once again, this year, the SVSS has been excellent bringing extraordinary talent to our valley. I am still hearing in my mind the powerful voice of Debbie Gravitte and the magnificent pianistic skills of Joyce Yang playing that Tchaikovsky Concerto. Teddy is a grand addition and I love to see him dance/ conduct. The master programs have been extra special. Thank you Edgar Bronfman, Alasdair and to all who make this symphony and its associated programs possible.
