Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation coach Kelly Sinnott egged on those trying to dunk her during last year’s “6 at Sochi.”

Six at Sochi Celebration

Wind-Born Adventures

STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

he TV remote is still warm from watching 2012 Summer Olympics in London. But Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation officials are wasting no time in fast forwarding to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. They’re holding their second annual “6 at Sochi” celebration from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Ketchum Town Square to raise support to send six local kids to the Winter Olympics. The evening will feature live music by Doublewide, the honky-tonk ballads of Austin, Texas, singer George DeVore and the rock reggae surf music of Safety Orange. There’ll be Russian vodka available in souvenir Sochi shot glasses, along with Sochi souvenir hats, shirts and other merchandise and food for purchase. And with this summer’s hot temperatures, everyone—from Idaho legislator Wendy Jaquet to Bob Rosso, Nappy Neaman, Rick Kapala, Colin Rodgers and Greg Randolph—it seems, has volunteered to take their turn atop a dunk tank. In addition, raffle tickets will be sold for $10 each, offering opportunities to win a season ski pass for Bald Mountain, a Nordic pass for the North Valley trails and a Schwinn cruiser bike. The goal is to send six athletes to the Winter Olympics to compete in alpine racing, freestyle skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing. The number was derived by assessing the capabilities of the athletes training with the Ski Education Foundation’s Gold Team, formerly known as the Olympic Development Team, said Alex Sundali, development director for the ski education foundation. Sun Valley sent three athletes— snowboarder Graham Watanabe and Nordic skiers Morgan Arritola and Simi Hamilton—to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C. The money the Ski Education Foundation raises with events like the Janss Pro-Am and the Wild Game Dinner go to the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation and are not used for the Gold Team, Sundali added. The Foundation created the Gold Team fund in 2005 to financially assist qualified Ski Education Foundation athletes who had risen through the top to become the less-than-1-percent who compete at the international level. Aspiring athletes include Simi Hamilton, who just began his third year on the U.S Ski Team, Tai Barrymore, who was named to the U.S. Halfpipe A Team and Tanner Farrow, who is serving his second year on the

isa Scales knows better than to plan dinner when she sees her husband Nate pack up his gear and head to Baldy. No telling when he’ll be home—or even where he will end up. Just a couple weeks ago, Lisa got a call from Nate saying he and his Niviuk Icepeak 6 paraglider had wound up near Bozeman, Mont. That 198-mile eight-hour flight on July 31 set a new U.S. mountain distance record for paragliding, breaking the 187-mile record set by Scales’ buddy Matt Beechinor a month earlier. “I know pretty much every day that I want to see how far the day will allow me to go,” says Nate. Nate, Beechinor and other local pilots like Mike Pfau are gearing up to host some the world’s best paragliders this coming week as the 2012 Paragliding World Cup comes to Bald Mountain. The 2012 U.S. Paragliding Nationals will take place the following week on Baldy. Nate has never won a competition at Nationals or Worlds. But his passion for paragliding has taken him on some great adventures. He’s set a couple of Idaho distance records. He’s paraglided throughout North America, Mexico, South America and Europe. And in 2007 he flew the length of the Alps in Red Bull’s X-Alps, an endurance competition in which competitors can use only their wings and hiking boots as they race non-stop for 17 days across Austria, Switzerland, Italy and France. Nate’s wife Lisa drove the support vehicle with their then-one-year-old daughter Ripley in tow. “I didn’t see a lot of Europe,” she confessed. “The whole time I was looking up trying to find Nate.” Nate has wanted to fly ever since he saw hang gliders near his boyhood home

in the Puget Sound. “Paragliding is the ultimate alpine adventure,” he said. “You take off from the side of a hill, soar above that hill, go to the next mountain and work your way along the terrain… It’s like magic. No noise, no motors. How cool is that?” Scales finally got his chance when a pilot came into Ski Tek where Scales was working after moving to Sun Valley following high school graduation and asked one of Scales’ co-workers if he’d like to go paragliding. “My co-worker said, ‘No,’ but I said, ‘I would,’’ “ Scales recalled. “Dave gave me three lessons and said, ‘Now you know everything I know,’ and he sent me to Salt Lake City.” There Scales found up to 50 people flying each morning in a flight park between Salt Lake City and Provo. He spent two years there living out of his Subaru station wagon as he learned to read air currents. And then he returned to Sun Valley. “Salt Lake is a good place to learn because it has a lot of smooth back-and-forth soaring. Here, we have smooth soaring in the morning and evening. But in the middle of the day as the sun heats the ground and provides thermals, we have the best cross-country flying on earth.” Scales doesn’t get to go paragliding as often as he’d like—he has to make a living using carpentry skills his grandfather Nelson Pomeroy, who’d built the Pearl Harbor military base and the Golden Gate Bridge, taught him. But, when flying’s too good to say no, he leaves the comfortable home he and Lisa built in Hailey and rides the chairlift to the top of Bald Mountain. Armed with a peanut butter sandwich, an apple and a few Sun Valley energy bars that his mother created, he dons a wool shirt, two puffy jackets, a baklava, a Camelbak hydration pack, a pee tube

Scales’ July 31 flight from Sun Valley to an area near Bozeman may be the longest straight-line distance in big mountains in the world, said Sun Valley pilot Honza Rejmanek.

Tom Brokaw Visits , Y R R Writers Conference HU Y!

BY KAREN BOSSICK He may have a bit of jet lag after having spent the past two weeks in London where he hosted a segment on England’s valiant fight during World War II for the NBC crowd watching the Summer Olympics. But expect former NBC News Anchor Tom Brokaw to be in Sun Valley Saturday night to talk about “The Time of Our Lives” as the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference celebrates its 17th year. Audience members will even get an opportunity to see “How would Tom Brokaw answer my questions?” conference organizers cutely note. Walter Isaacson will serve as the keynote speaker Friday night talking about “The Passion of Steve Jobs” as the four-day conference opens at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Isaacson, who has written biographies of Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, will share his insights about how Steve Jobs embodied the American spirit. He and Brokaw will be joined by novelist Chad Harbach, author of “The Art of Fielding”; Amy Waldman, whose post-9/11 novel, “The Submission,” focuses on the furor that erupts when a Muslim-American architect’s design is chosen for a Ground Zerolike memorial; scientist E.O. Wilson; and Abraham Verghese, whose talk about his “Cutting for Stone” brought an audience to

tears a couple of summers ago. “It’s going to be a great conference—just look at the lineup of speakers!” said associate director Marcia Mode-Stavros. Coveted $850 passes that cover the entire conference, plus breakfasts and lunches, have been sold out for months. Educators and students may be seated in Pavilion events free of charge on a stand-by basis with school ID. Some single-event tickets are on sale at Chapter One Bookstore and Iconoclast Books for $35. Those tickets are for: • Walter Isaacson’s talk on “The Passion of Steve Jobs” at 6 p.m. Friday • Tom Brokaw’s talk on “The Time of Our Lives,” about the divisions that separate Americans and the efforts of those trying to bridge those divisions, at 6 p.m. Saturday night • Jennifer Homan’s talk on “Apollo’s Angels: Why Ballet Matters,” at 3:45 p.m. Sunday • Journalist Paul Hendrickson’s memorable portrait of Ernest Hemingway, “Amid So Much Ruin, Still the Beauty: A Search for Ernest Hemingway,” at 5:15 p.m. Sunday. All four talks will be held in the Sun Valley Pavilion. Conference Director Robin Eidsmo said the conference owes its success to a literary board that “reads and reads and reads” so its lineup of writers is always timely. Information: svwc.com tws

Bible (abr.) BY KAREN BOSSICK

hree local thespians claim they can present all 66 books of the Bible in 90 minutes. And they’re doing it via “The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged).” Matt Gorby, Steve d’Smith and Will Hemmings are presenting the spirited, slightly irreverent, 90-minute spoof at 9:30 tonight, 7 p.m. Sunday and Monday, 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 21-22, and 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, at the nexStage Theater, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum. “The Bible” was created by three British chaps—Reed Martin, Austin Tichenor and Adam Long—who created The Reduced Shakespeare Company’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged).” But, beware, there’s even a reference to the Ketchum City Council in the local boys’ version.

Twelfth Night By Shakespeare Fest BY KAREN BOSSICK

racy Bersley has created a human theatrical storm built of bodies and umbrellas at the beginning of “Twelfth Night.” And the mayhem never quits. Instead, what many consider William Shakespeare’s funniest play descends into a brew of madness, gluttony and overindulgence. Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival will restage the play that accompanied its debut in 2000 for two weeks beginning this Thursday in Ketchum’s Forest Service Park. The play is a Shakespearean fairy tale revolving around mistaken identity in which everyone wears a mask until each falls in love and bares his or her true face. It contains a number of themes, including that of gender bending and that of women seeking to forge a measure of independence in a man’s world. The story centers around twins Viola and Sebastian who believe each other drowned in a shipwreck. In true Shakespearean fashion, Viola disguises herself as a young man but soon finds herself swooning for a duke named Orsino. Orsino, in turn, lusts after Olivia, who, of course, falls for Viola, whom she thinks is a boy. Meanwhile Sebastian shows up, his resemblance adding to the hilarity. “They all start at place where they’re almost at a breaking point and something needs to change for life to get better. All are engaged in excess from loving love to loving alcohol, and that excess is what brings them to a point where they realize they can’t sustain things the way

they’re going,” said Bersley, the show’s director. “What the play is about is how to get to a point where life is more sustainable.” The play stars Beth Hilles as Viola, Dawson Howard as Orsino, Patsy Wygle as Olivia, Mackenzie Harbaugh as Sebastian, Scott Creighton as Malvolio and Keith Moore as Feste the Fool. Other actors include Jamey Reynolds, Erich Von Tagen, Harry Dreyfus, Sam Brown, Jamie Wygle and Doug Neff and veteran Shakespearean actress Gina Allure from New York. Bersley herself hails from New York City where she teaches acting, movement and dramatic writing at Princeton University, CAP 21 and various conservatories and studios. She has directed several Shakespeare productions and collaborated with such institutions as The Juilliard School and Yale University and such artists as playwrights Sam Shepard and David Mamet. She was invited to direct the Sun Valley Shakespeare Festival

by Patsy Wygle, who met her while studying in New York. “I thought I would go more into the musical theater route but ended up in Shakespeare,” Bersley said. “I’m not fond of kitchen sink drama. Shakespeare is almost operatic, his language so beautiful. His plays give you the opportunity to do rich theatrics outside the ordinary.” Bersley, who brought her husband and 14-month-old daughter with her, elected to keep this production of “Twelfth Night” in period setting. But she did add some contemporary items, such as golf clubs and Pringle potato chips, to create a feeling that resonates with all time. Bersley said she studied the idea of epiphany, since twelfth night is the last day of Christmas and the beginning of the season called Epiphany. The philosopher Levinas called epiphany the moment in which a manifestation of the

“They all start at a place where they’re almost at a breaking point...” –tracy bersley divine is seen in another’s face,” she said. “We’ve looking at play from that point of view, asking ourselves what epiphany each character has and what brings it about.” “All these characters are so deeply affected by others. All come to be influenced by one another. And that’s what I love about theater. It’s a place where humans get in a room and have a live experience with one another.” tws

DeVore, who performed at last weekend’s annual Braun Brothers Reunion in Challis, will play several free concerts this coming week in the Sun Valley area. He’ll kick it off by playing such beer-soaked anthems as “Bend But Don’t Break” at the Six at Sochi Aki Education Party, which starts at 5 p.m. Thursday at Ketchum Town Square. He’ll then head to Bellevue for a 6:30 p.m. concert that same night outside on Mahoney’s back patio. He’ll get back up on his songbox Friday at the Silver Dollar Saloon before heading back up to Ketchum where he will open for the final Ketch’em Alive of the season on Tuesday.

Word is they’ll get around a microphone and sing every song ever recorded, including “Happy Birthday” in honor of Grumpy’s owner Pete Prekeges’ 49th. “Should be a hoot!” said Prekeges. On Thursday, Doublewide, George DeVore and Safety Orange will perform at the Six at Sochi Ski Education Foundation party at the Ketchum Town Square Plaza from 5 to 9 p.m. DeVore will then head down to Bellevue for a 6:30 p.m. Thursday concert outside Mahoney’s.

On Thursday, Up a Creek will serve up its cache of jaunty folk music sounds from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ketchum Town Square. On Friday, George DeVore will play at 9:30 p.m. at the

Silver Dollar Saloon in Bellevue. (Don’t forget the saloon’s free rides to and from Bellevue for parties of six—call 720-3171 for details.

ink Martini, which bills itself as “a little orchestra from Portland,” turned the River Run lawn into an outdoor nightclub Monday night as some 3,000 people settled in for a night of Japanese pop, French cabaret and big band ballads. Lead singer China Forbes, who can sing in 27 languages, served up everything from a hauntingly beautiful Japanese “Song of the Black Lizard” to a song by Japanese songstress Saori Yuki whom pianist Thomas Lauderdale described as a Japanese Barbra Streisand. Smoke from fires burning 80 miles away cooperated, coloring the night sky with a smoky tinge similar to that which might have been found in a nightclub. But the air tasted clear, even crisp, for the first time in a hot summer that finally showed signs of turning to fall. Don and Laurie Yeager of Bellevue danced to the music in cocktail dress and tails, even though Laurie admitted she had leggings, jacket, hat and gloves stashed away in case the night got too chilly. “Seventy-three and I’m still bouncing around like a fiftyyear-old,” Don Yeager quipped. And Latin percussionist Russ Caldwell was overjoyed to hear someone else play his conga drums. “They make them sound good!” he said. “Truly, they’re a wonderful band.” The Sun Valley Center for the Arts will close out its Summer Concert Series with Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, in the Sun Valley Pavilion.

Keep Your Cool

irst, consider the big things: adding awnings above west-facing windows, and planting trees and vines to shade walls and roof, will help immensely in future summers. Metal roofs and attic insulation also help keep the house cool. Make these improvements now while you are still hot! For immediate fixes, strive to not add heat to the house. Avoid using the oven, turn off appliances (like your computer) when you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using them, and switch to CFL bulbs, because they release less heat to the room. At night, open your windows to gather our cool mountain air; each morning, close all windows and draw the curtains to preserve the cool. Attic fans excel at drawing night air into the house and pushing hot air out of the attic, but an inexpensive box fan on a windowsill works, too. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cooler in light colors and loose clothing. Stay hydrated, and eat smaller, more frequent meals. Heavy protein-rich foods raise your metabolic rate, and thus you get hotter. Spicy foods conversely keep you cooler by increasing circulation. Lower your body temperature by running cold water over the inside of your wrists, or spritzing your face with a mister. Sit outside in the shade or take a tip from the kids and spray yourself with the hose. Slow down, do your workout and yard work in the cooler times of day, and think snow!

Experience Life in Color STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

began to cultivate the wild Habitat after I put in a small, modest, regular flower garden of perennials outside my windows. The idea was to attract the birds, bees and butterflies. For some reason, I thought the addition of color to the commercially landscaped sterility would attract life, something beyond an occasional robin hopping on the chemically treated lawn. I trusted color, and felt animals trusted it. Sure enough, they showed up. There were more birds in the neighboring stand of aspens. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fly over into the garden and pick at the arsenic-laced mulch. Hummingbirds started to cruise the grounds and some decided to nest in the box elders, though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have enough of the right flowers for them. Suddenly, there were ants for the peonies, moths, blues, whites and other butterflies flitting about. Back then (2003) the bees were more abundant. Everything about a garden is real, even when its over-designed to make a statement of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social status. It takes time, money, effort, and then come all the subjective psychological effects of the result. The colors are never fake, though often engineered. They communicate and educate devoid of agenda, attitude or self-conscious posturing. No matter how elegant a flowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance, it never strikes a pose. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nobility of differences between hues, both within and across a span of species. A crimson rose wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the same as a thin, floppy-petaled Flanders poppy. The latter is more translucent and radiates the light it receives. The layered petals of a rose hit a deeper tone. The eye needs real color because it is nutritious, though its total effect is beyond understanding. Colors advertise something, and animals understand it, something beyond just nectar, fruit and pollen. After a long winter here, we get colorstarved, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s color galore in the tropics. After these winters, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve purposely travelled to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;colorfulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; places. Its similar to eating all the fresh fruits and produce we can. This time of year gives us a lot. Organically grown versus commercially grown (local) doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter as much as the time it takes for the food to get from ground to the table. The faster we cook it, the greater the preservation of nutrients, flavor, aroma, color and texture, and

Color in The Habitat.

so the greater the pleasure and the benefit, though again, some of that is beyond our understanding, but we can trust it. The world is not a fixed entity, no matter how much weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make it so. We father our illusions. Just sitting here, looking out on this little landscape, its easy to see how a red isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just red. The light changes, the colors change; wind, mist, dew, frost, smoke show up, and the fixed becomes a tossed salad, and we quickly cross from certitude tws into a dream.

Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation Hands Out Money STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

he Senior Connection got $3,200 for its new Alzheimer’s program and the Crisis Hotline got $4,000 for its ongoing program to fight suicide and other crises, as the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation awarded $126,164 to local non-profits Thursday. The Foundation’s 146 members elected to present this year’s grants to 10 non-profits at its annual meeting at The Valley Club. • The Blaine County Drug Coalition got $25,000 for a one-on-one mentoring program for at-risk youth in the Wood River Middle School. However, the program is on hold until a new director is found to replace Terry Basolo, who has elected to go back to school, said Erin Pflaeffle. • College of Southern Idaho, The Advocates and The Hunger Coalition will split $40,000 on an Integrated Education Initiative designed to provide mentoring and job skills for low-income and economically disadvantaged adults. • NAMI, or the National Alliance on Mental Illness, will get $6,000 to be used to train firstresponders in crisis intervention. • Planned Parenthood of the Greater Northwest will receive $15,240 to address pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases among teens in the Wood River Valley. • Sun Valley Adaptive Sports received $25,000 for its Peak Adventure Camp for kids. • The Wood River YMCA received $6,400 for its Kids Club. • And the Animal Shelter of

the Wood River Valley received $1,324 for its no-cost spay and neuter program. The Animal Shelter took a lot of grief when it became a no-kill shelter because people thought that that was unconscionable given the large population of stray dogs at the time, noted spokesman Brooke Bonner. Can you imagine the reaction if we tried to switch back today? she asked. About 40 of the 100-plus eligible agencies in the Valley apply each fall, said Board member Peggy Goldwyn. Danni Dean related how the Wood River Community Orchestra used last year’s grant for lessons for new members and new music. “The orchestra has added a tremendous amount to my life,” Dean said, adding how her instrument had stayed under the bed for 23 years until the orchestra started up. Firefighter Brian Tuohy

related that Wood River Fire and Rescue used a $9,288 grant for an interactive smart board that accelerated the instruction process, making it possible for firefighters to come out of class “ready to go.” Goldwyn noted that the department had given the foundation a refund check after it found a less expensive white board than it had originally budgeted for. The foundation promptly sent the check back to be spent on additional equipment, including a webcam. Joann Boswell, one of the organization’s newer members, said she initially declined to join the group because she likes exercising individual control over her donations. But she reversed her opinion as she watched how the group takes such a careful approach to the donations it makes. “I’m impressed with the donations that go to groups that have a hard time raising money on tws their own,” she said.

Perseverance Counts BY JONATHAN KANE

ood River High School senior Kaitlyn Landis has travelled a path that many of us could only imagine, and through perseverance has conquered her handicap. Born completely deaf, Landis was the first in her class to read, and today converses as easily as if she was born completely able to hear. Besides her will, the reason for her success lies in an implant that she received at the age of three and a half years old. The implant is called a cochlear implant and works simply by having electrodes pull the sound from the outside into the brain where they can be understood and heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have two of them now,â&#x20AC;? Landis says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the second one until I was 14 years old. The two have been very different because I have no memory of getting the first one and the second one was a big experience as it really opened things up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not as good as the first one but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still working on it. I do that by taking the first one off and training myself to hear with the new one. Also, after the first one, I was very sick from the medications. When the second one was turned on, it was really cool and I was able at 14 to experience what I had gone through at three and a half. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really learning how to hear all over again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m adding to it. I definitely hear more sounds and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better able to pinpoint where a sound is coming from whereas before I would have to look around to tell.â&#x20AC;? Landis didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beginning speaking until after she had the first implant at an age where other kids were speaking full sentences and telling stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to preschool from age three to five and then when I started school at five I was what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mainstreamedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and put into regular classes, even though I had a disability. I used an audio system that helped me by letting the teacher use a microphone that transmitted sound to a box. Other kids wanted to play with it but today everyone ignores it and I only use it occasionally for classes.â&#x20AC;? Landis started school at Bellevue Elementary and had caught up to the other kids, remarkably, by the age of five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the first kid in my

class to read, mainly because my parents used visuals with me and it has now been shown that it is a better way for kids to learn to read. My speech was not great, though, at five. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear that well so that people who heard me knew that I was deaf. I was in speech therapy from the age of three and a half until I was 16 and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with a number of people. I always had problems with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sound and spent a full year drilling it over and over. Today, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need therapy anymore.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a pretty interesting experience and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about it much except when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about it. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a real disadvantage, unless when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in really crowded places itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for me to differentiate sounds. There have been some pretty big pluses to the situation. I feel that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very independent, which is something that my parents wanted me to be. I also know how to take care of myself and, as a result, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become pretty independent. I also know how to advocate for myself and speak up and get what I want, which a lot of other kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to do. An example is when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in class and a teacher has their back to me, I ask them to turn around and speak to me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an issue with being direct and asking for something.â&#x20AC;? There is no doubt that this extraordinary young woman who has overcome some very real obstacles has nothing but a very bright future in store tws for her.

Custodian Skunked in Helping Skunk BY KAREN BOSSICK

teve Lalone thought he’d had his fill of excitement when he returned from a whirlwind month-long vacation in Africa. After all, it included a five-day trek up 19,000-foot Kilimanjaro, a whitewater raft trip bouncing through Class 4 and 5 rapids on the White Nile out of Lake Victoria, gorilla trekking and a safari that took him within feet of lions. But Lalone found an even more challenging engagement facing him when he returned home and headed back to Wood River Middle School where he and other maintenance engineers were shampooing the carpet and stripping and waxing the floors in preparation for the coming school year. “I pulled up to work just before 7 and I noticed all my co-workers outside. I thought that was

pretty odd because everyone usually goes right in to work. Then I saw a skunk and I thought: Why are my co-workers so close to a skunk?!” he related As Lalone looked closer, he noticed that the skunk was walking around in circles with a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cup on its head. As the clueless skunk circled closer and closer, Lalone wondered what would happen if he pulled the cup off its head and made a run for it. “Finally, I thought, I was so close I’d just grab the cup so I yanked it off and jumped back,” he said. The startled skunk sprayed a few hapless spots of spray onto Lalone’s vinyl coat and the parking lot. Lalone’s co-worker Warren Sturgeon filmed the event on his cell phone but focused on the skunk’s face and Lalone’s hand to the exclusion of the broader

Breathe. The ability to breathe is arguably the single most important function the human body performs. It feeds oxygen to our blood, allowing all the systems in our body to do their jobs. Breath Alysha Oclassen is involuntary and vital to our existence. And, strangely, most of us pay little to no attention to it at all. In fact, our nature is to hold our breath in tense situations, usually the exact moments when it would be most useful to be breathing deeply. Deep breath is calming. It helps to soothe the mind and the nervous system, quiets the usual unconscious chatter, and makes room for a more balanced thought process and a sense of peace. In yoga, breath is deeply revered as the life force of the body. It is also a respected teacher of self-awareness. While practicing yogic postures and meditation, students are taught to watch the breath. Learning to be aware of the breath brings our attention to the moments where our personal tendencies are to panic, tense up, or become agitated. In these moments, we are encouraged to return focus to the breath and intentionally change the body’s state from tension to stillness. The purpose of this practice is to teach ourselves to recognize the beginning signs of anxiety and to immediately make the choice to return to a state of tranquility. With enough practice, even our unconscious reactions can change from nervous panic or anger to calm and ease, a much nicer state of being for everyone. This is yet another practice that is easier said than done. Our brains are hardwired to be busy, and another aspect of our human nature is that our brains like it that way. But we do have a choice. We can keep with the old habits that are known but not working, or try something new. My experience is that new is well worth the trouble. Yoga is wonderful for helping this shift. You don’t have a lot of room to think of anything other than the breath while balancing on one leg with the other high up in the air. However, if a yoga class is not in your near future, you can still cultivate breath along with the ease it will bring. Try this: sit comfortably; any chair, sofa or cushion will do. On the ground, under a tree, is nice, too. Begin breathing deeply. Watch the breath in your mind as you inhale and exhale. See it in your mind’s eye while your lungs expand and contract. Do this for three minutes whenever you have a free moment or feel stressed or tense. That’s all it takes. Peace is yours. tws Thank you, yoga.

Olympic Moments BY BALI SZABO

Serena Williams aced her way through the tourney, and finished the job with a complete domination of Maria Sharapova, 6-0, 6-1, for the gold. Only she and Steffi Graff have won all four majors and a gold medal. Serena also won gold in doubles with her sister, Venus. At the post-match interview, she was almost speechless. Finally, she just broke into a victory dance. Feet together, knees bent, arms extended, she hip-hopped for a minute, then took her time and tried to make eye contact with as many of the 50,000 fans as she could. In men’s tennis, a shocker! After a lackluster performance on Wimbledon’s Center Court against Roger Federer, Andy Murray of England found himself in the same spot in the Olympic final. In front of a raucous crowd that bore no resemblance to the strawberry-and-cream gentility of Wimbledon, he finally beat Federer in straight sets, and earned the forgiveness of English hearts. He, and by inference, they, were no longer alsorans. In what many considered the best team game in this Olympics, the U.S. women’s soccer team defeated Canada in the second overtime, 4-3. It was the 123rd minute, and the seconds were ticking down. The U.S. had owned the ball in this last period. Heather O’Reilly from the right corner centered the ball into the box. There was only one dark jersey there, Alex Morgan, who got her head on it and put it past the outstretched fingers of Canadian goalie, Erin McCleod. It was an uphill battle all the way. Every time Canada’s Christine Sinclair scored (hat trick), the U.S. answered, but never had the lead. Megan Rapinoe scored twice, and Amy Wambach potted a penalty kick after a questionable call against Canada. The U.S. moved on to the final against the 2011 World Cup foe, Japan. Whether it was instinct or strategy, U.S. coach Pia Sundhage’s decision to start benchwarmer/sub Carli Lloyd in the game paid big dividends. (Carli had scored the winning goal in the 2008 Olympic final.) She scored twice in this one, as the U.S. won a nail-biter, 2-1. Japan’s short, accurate passing game gave them a significant possession edge, and the U.S. had trouble clearing the ball. Late in the game, forward Nimaguchi juked Christie Rampone and broke in on goal. Hope Solo made a great midair dive/fingertip save. It was a game that could have gone either way, and the U.S. women had their third Olympic gold in soccer. The men didn’t qualify, but our CONCACAF region was the world’s strongest, as Mexico

beat Brazil for the gold and Honduras got silver. Kerry Walsh, 34, and Misty May Treanor, 35, have singlehandedly made beach volleyball one of the most popular Olympic sports. It is easy to see, televise and understand, and countries don’t need large teams and expensive infrastructure. Along with Michael Phelps, the American duo won its third consecutive Olympic gold. The third was the sweetest. Childbirths, injury and so-so play clouded their prospects, but when it was all said and done, they went 421, in sets, during their 12- year run. Along with Amy Wambach, Serena Williams and Kristin Armstrong, they held up the 30something end of these games. In the new sport of women’s boxing, Brit Nicola Adams won flyweight gold. The place was rocking when the Irish boxer, lightweight Katie Taylor, outpointed her opponent and won gold for Ireland. Already popular there, she is the toast of that nation, and that’s a lot of pints. Even the Brits cheered her on. But by far the best boxer was 17-year-old middleweight Claressa Shields of Flint, Michigan, who won the gold. Her Russian opponent Nadezda was twice her age. Claressa has had to practice against men, and it showed. She moved and threw accurate punches in bunches to showcase her superiority. In boxing, it was the U.S. women, 2, the men, 0. In Athens they called her ‘chicken legs,’ and she won silver. After another silver in Beijing, she was an ‘also-ran.’ At age 26, Allyson Felix finally broke through and won gold in the 200. Overjoyed, she said, “I embrace the journey… the defeats… because that’s what pushed me all these years.” Carmelita Jeter’s bronze along with her silver in the 100 made her the first American to medal in both in 24 years. On the other hand, Lashinda Demus got silver in the 110-meter hurdles, pouted, hated her medal, and vowed to return in 2016. In contrast, last but not least, Sarah Attar, the first ever Saudi woman to compete in the Games, fully clothed, finished 43 seconds behind, dead last, yet embraced the experience, and the standing ovation that came with it. “Inspire a Generation,” indeed. Usain Bolt, 25, of Jamaica, has gone where no other man has. He did a double-double— gold in the 100 and 200 sprints in back-to-back Olympics. His archrival Yohan Blake, 22, beat him in both races at the Jamaican Nationals, and in London posted better qualifying times. Bolt, like Phelps, showed up and saved the best for last. He won comfortably in non-record times. Will he dance the samba in Rio? tws

Paul Wellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sonik Kicks BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR 103.7 KSKI

usically, Paul Weller has been a man of many hats. From the revvedup R&B punk of The Jam and the arty blue-eyed soul of The Style Council, to his current solo work, which embodies the majority of his work, Weller has always successfully changed with the times. With twenty years under his belt as a solo artist, each of his previous sixteen albums has shown that his best years are clearly ahead of him. With his new album, Sonik Kicks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Modfatherâ&#x20AC;? takes his love of soul, folk and mod music and throws in an electronic edge that keeps the mix sounding fresh. Weller isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unfamiliar with electronic music; The Style Council lost their recording contract with their longtime label Polydor because they wanted to release an acid-house album, which was rejected and led to the breakup of the band. On Sonik Kicks, Weller proves why bands like Oasis, Stereophonics and Ocean Colour Scene hold his legacy in

coURTESY ART

such high esteem. Songs like the lead track â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greenâ&#x20AC;? pulses with electric energy, while the third single off the album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Your Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Overgrown,â&#x20AC;? has a more pastoral sound, but sparkles nonetheless. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a whole lot of anything tremendously groundbreaking on the album, just fourteen songs performed by an artist many had written off, who rose from the ashes of two great bands to stay relevant to this day. Fans of the British Invasion all the way up to current Brit-pop will love the tws groove of Sonik Kicks.

Woof! All bark, No bite Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

ny middling movie, like the new film Darling Companion by Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill), can be elevated by fine actors. They can take a mediocre script and story, like this one, and add colors and accents that can make it imminently watchable. For this ho-hum picture we have the great Kevin Kline and Dianne Keaton in the leads supported by Richard Jenkins, Dianne Wiest, Elisabeth Moss and Sam Shepard. We also have the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centerpiece, an adorable pooch named Freeway, who unfortunately dominates the story but is rarely seen. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the dog, which Keaton has saved on a cold, wintry day, has run off, perhaps

THE LIST

chasing a squirrel at Keatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Klineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rocky Mountain getaway after a family wedding. Kline is the culprit because he was walking the dog while immersed in a business call, which his self-obsessed surgeon character is prone to do. What it does is expose the rifts in their relationship as Keaton completely comes unglued at the loss of her darling companion. Wiest and Jenkins are wonderful as Klineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister and paramour who join in on the search for the dog. Also along for the ride is Wiestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son and a beautiful gypsy caretaker who spouts New Age mumbo jumbo and leads the group through her visions of where the dog may be. Best of all is Shepard as the small town sheriff who suffers from kidney stones and joins in the chase while being lectured by Kline about his PSA numbers. Along the way revelations are revealed and couples move closer together during the metaphorical search for the pooch. Do we find the dog? What do you think? This is, after all, tws Hollywood.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR AUgUsT 1, 2012 By: Jim sAnTA

s it is prime time for fly fishing all over the west, following is a brief synopsis of n o t only the local streams, but a few other streams within striking distance. As always, we’re happy to share our latest reports, just stop by and inquire. First, hoppers are beginning to attract attention on all waters and we all love to fish hoppers. The Big Wood is no exception, so when we’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 albert’s, and in the late evening the caddis hatch has been strong. 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 pmd’s and baetis for mayflies as-well-as some of the prairie caddis. 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. There’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 it’s moving right along. Large high floating patterns like foam hoppers, stimulators, and cicadas worked along the banks will produce while floating. There’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’s 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.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Storms of Denali BY KAREN BOSSICK

oaring 20,320 feet into the thin Arctic air, Denali is the highest and coldest summit in North America and one of the most coveted mountaineering prizes on the planet. Now climber and writer Nicholas Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell has written a book that will bring armchair adventurers face to face with what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to scale Denaliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreboding slopes. And he will preview that book at 7 p.m. Saturday at All Things Sacred in The Galleria kitty-corner from Atkinsonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, who teaches for The Writers Workshop in Seattle, will show a few slides, present a short video, read a few excerpts from the book and talk about climbing in the hour-long presentation sponsored by Chapter One Bookstore. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Storms of Denali,â&#x20AC;? follows lifelong friends and die-hard climbers as they try to do a first ascent on a route thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been done before. The difficulty of the climb, compounded by avalanches, fierce winds and mind-numbing cold and conflict between the

men, leads to disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great study for those who wish to climb high,â&#x20AC;? said Ketchum resident Lou Whittaker, himself the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memoirs of a Mountain Guide.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell has climbed an easier route on Denali, as well as the Matterhorn, the Dolomites and mountains in the vicinity of Chamonix, France. He has written non-fiction stories about climbing for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock and Iceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outsideâ&#x20AC;? magazines. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also written several books, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond Risk: Conversations with Climbersâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Sacred Ground: The Spirit of Place in Pacific Northwest Literature.â&#x20AC;? He has witnessed the kinds of conflicts climbers can have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mountain climbing is a brutal reality check. People may have ideas about how strong they are. But the peak dictates whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strong, committed enough. People who get in accidents are typically not listening to what the mountain is telling them, whether it be about an approaching storm or the fact that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough stamina,â&#x20AC;? he said. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell has climbed in the Sawtooths and Tetons and

PBR Classic Features Bad Jokes, Worse Spills STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

ight seconds. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just long enough for me to brush two teeth if I follow the two-minute routine my dentist would like me to ascribe to. It was just long enough for Pink Martini to play half a line Monday night about a song dedicated to plucking tomatoes and making them into hamburger ketchup. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blip in time when it comes to booting up my PC. But eight seconds mustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seemed like an eternity to the cowboys from Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Colorado and New Mexico Saturday night as they pitted themselves against a feisty group of Brahma bulls at the Hailey rodeo grounds. Cowboy after cowboy ended up on their rump within a nanosecond of the time their bull charged out of the chute. The PBR Classic filled nearly all the seats at the rodeo grounds, with teachers, lawyers, even a senior citizen celebrating her 97th birthday at the event. Teen-age girls ogled the cowboys in the chute, professing

to be looking at bulls that were nowhere to be seen. Kids and moms stomped their feet on the floor to rev up the atmosphere just in case there was a bull who felt like slacking off that night. And everyone, it seemed, groaned at the B-A-D jokes the announcer told. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bought gas for $1.99 today,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Taco Bell.â&#x20AC;? The bull riders werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily the cowboys Waylon warned mamas aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one New Mexico bull rider named Travis Briscoe has made a million bucks riding bulls. But it seemed like it was the bulls earning their keep Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;until an hour into the show when Bret Miller and then Tim Bingham finally hung on long enough to give the buzzer a run for its money. Tyler Bingham of Utah, meanwhile, rode a spinning bull that probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earn any points for style but sure seemed intent on shaking him off by centrifugal force Mentally, I had two more teeth brushed by the time he spilled off. But then, the landing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so hard when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re riding Pepsodent. tws

As bull riders entered the arena just before the show started, 14-year-old Nicole Purdy, of Picabo, sang the National Anthem to the revved-up crowd. PHOTO: LESLIE THOMPSON/SUN

Plan Ahead!

Now you can really plan ahead. Check out our Comprehensive Plan Ahead calendar online www.TheWeeklySun.com

Th e W e e k l y S u n â&#x20AC;˘

ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard the adage, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.â&#x20AC;? The meaning rings especially true when it comes to preparing a will. However, it is human nature to put things off, especially planning for what happens after death. A huge misconception rests with the terms estate and will. Because they go hand in hand, people feel they need to be wealthy to have a will, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true. A will simply outlines who or what gets your stuff when you die and who will be the guardian of any minor children. When I speak with any of my younger clients, we always go through who will care for any children. Most think that Grandma or Aunt Susie will automatically assume that responsibility. Without a will, the state becomes the guardian of your children until the state determines who will become the permanent guardian. Determining who you would want to raise your children in the event that you and your spouse are no longer here is one of the most difficult and emotional decisions to make. People canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine someone else raising their children. But emotions only reinforce the importance of this decision. Make sure you talk in depth to loved ones you want to name as a guardian to confirm they are willing and able to do so. Consider where the individual lives, what their lifestyle is like, and if they would raise your children with similar beliefs and interests as yours. Despite the importance of this planning concept, approximately half of all Americans die without a will. This is called intestate, which means a local probate court will appoint an administrator to distribute an estate based on state law. The administrator will also designate a guardian for any minors. The court, not your clients, decides what happens to assets and children. When people realize the implications of not having control, they want to start thinking and talking about a will. If an individual has planned ahead with either a will or a trust, the cost associated with probate will decrease. Going through probate without the direction of a will can potentially add thousands of dollars to the probate costs. If there is any type of dispute, such as who will be the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guardian, or

who receives the assets or business, the cost will increase more dramatically. There are five basic steps to consider when you set up a will. Step 1: Understanding what a will covers, as well as what it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do for you. It will include such things as where assets will go following a death, who will be the executor (manager) of your estate and, as we already reviewed above, who will be the guardian of your children. Step 2: Inventory assets. Generally speaking, there are two types of assets: things such as an annuity or a life insurance policy have named beneficiaries and go directly to those individuals, avoiding probate; other assets, such as bank accounts, which will need to go through probate. Step 3: List beneficiaries and their relationship to you. Attach specific assets to each beneficiary. Also consider listing any debtors. Step 4: Name an executor that is trustworthy and will follow the wishes expressed in your will. Be sure and confirm the individual you have requested be the executor of your estate is willing to do so. If there is no executor, probate will appoint one. Step 5: Name a guardian for minor children. Consider purchasing a life insurance policy with the guardian for your children as beneficiary so there are funds available to raise your children. Another option is to have the life insurance proceeds go into a trust which is established through a willâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction and can be used to help with your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living expenses, college, etc. Wills can be drawn up professionally by an attorney, or through an online service. Another option is to have a simple handwritten will. Certainly having a professional advise you is most beneficial. If things change in the future, a will can be amended to reflect those changes. Regardless of how the will is written, be sure that copies are in a safe place, and that tws one is with the executor.

The work focused on multiple study areas in central Idaho, including the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. It is using a unique combination of methods to simultaneously collect information on the movements of wolverines and backcountry winter recreationists. While data collection is still ongoing, some results are starting to emerge that begin to give us insights into this elusive creature.

WALKING GOURMET La Cabañita Mexican Restaurant

160 W. 5th St., Ketchum, 745 N. Main St., Ste. D, Bellevue; Mon-Sat 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sun 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. STORY & PHOTO BY MARGOT VAN HORN

udolfo Armenta is the owner of these two really wonderful Mexican restaurants. Rudolfo hales from Michoacan, which translates from Nahuatl — a branch of the Uto-Aztecan language — as a “possessor of fish and place of the fisherman,” referring to those who fish on their local Lake Patzcuaro. Michoacan is a state in Mexico that boasts of being “the soul of Mexico,” with its food being Mexican soul food. Michoacan, I have noticed, has produced many fine chefs. Indeed, the above-pictured most generous dish, carnitas con arroz y frijoles (with rice and beans), guacamole, pico de gallo and corn or flour tortillas ($11.25) that Rudolfo served me was just what my soul needed and it was excellent! I loved the rice that had just a hint of jalapeño peppers in it and the pork was done to perfection. Rudolfo’s chips and homemade salsa are not the usual kind, so that was a lovely surprise as well. Rudolfo came to the United States about 18 years ago. Fourteen of those years were spent working in a Michoacan restaurant in Long Beach, Calif., and the last four years have been

T spent here in Ketchum. Rudolfo loved the early-Ketchum-cabin look of this establishment and therefore started his restaurant in it. Much of his family now lives here—his two children and wife, six brothers, cousins and uncles. In this column, he wanted me to make sure that all of his restaurant guests know that he thanks them all for their patronage and how very happy he is to live here in Ketchum. Rudolfo’s menu prices range from $5.50 to $14.95. He serves all of your normal authentic Mexican dishes, including a whole array of seafood dishes and also vegetarian, salads, and American dishes such as a New York steak and hamburgers. There are, of course, daily specials as well as daily beer specials. The deck outside with Coke umbrellas is wonderfully

situated, with a nice view of the mountains. I love outdoor restaurant decks! When I went, it was the perfect Ketchum allsun-and-puffy-clouded-sky day and eating my lush Michoacan carnitas was the ultimate. So, if you want a bit of the Mex casual and friendly South of the Border taste, don’t hesitate to try La Cabañita and to sure to tell them that Margot and The Walking Gourmet of The Weekly Sun sent you. This once-monthly column features our wonderful Valley restaurants to which we can easily stroll—sometimes with the help of a bus or car ride—and is therefore called The Walking Gourmet. I hope that it will be a helpful guide for would-be diners as well for all of our fine local eateries. tws

he percussion section was in the spotlight during this year’s symphony season, from the carnival-like hammer a timpanist brought down on a giant plywood box during Mahler’s Sixth Symphony to Joseph Tomkins’ “Boardgames,” which was performed at Thursday’s Musician’s Choice Chamber Music Concert. “Boardgames” proved to be an engrossing piece that featured five guys playing 2-by-4’s with golf gloves featuring sewing thimbles and sandpaper. And it proved such a hit with the symphony audience that the symphony reprised the piece at Saturday’s Family Concert. Detective novelist Ridley Pearson narrated “Cowboy Bill,” a piece written by another of the symphony’s timpanists, Alex Orfaly, at that concert. Youngsters like Isabelle Phillips and her mother, Calysta Phillips, dressed up for the occasion in their best cowboy and cowgirl duds.

YMCA Fundraiser Mapped Out by Al Franken STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

MCA organizers left the obligatory live and silent auction out of their fundraiser Friday night as a gesture of good will to those who might be suffering from auction fatigue. So what did Al Franken do? He waltzed in to Kipp Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor amphitheater in Adams Gulch and proceeded to draw all 50 statesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;beginning with his home state of Minnesota, of course. Then he offered it up for bid! By the time the bidding was over, Kipp Nelson had the reasonably accurate-looking map in hand, plus a photo with Franken. And the Y had $2,200 more to ensure that children and their families can take advantage of the Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many programs, regardless of their ability to pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re astounded, forget to applaud,â&#x20AC;? Franken quipped for the crowd as he drew the latest in a series of maps he has drawn to auction off for such causes as Minnesota Public Radio. About 250 crowded into Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amphitheater Friday night to toast the Y and get a look at the junior Minnesota senator who came to fame via â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Live.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When (other Y officials) heard about our fundraiser, jaws dropped. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How do you get Al Franken to do your fundraiser,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Y Director Jason Fry told the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to understand this place.â&#x20AC;? In this instance, it was Sun Valley part-timers Sean and Anne Coffey who invited Franken to Sun Valley. Sean Coffey recounted how he had met Franken as a Navy captain aboard the deck of a Navy carrier. Franken has earned the USO merit award for entertaining troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and at veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hospitals, Coffey added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an Annapolis grad, that speaks to me,â&#x20AC;? he said. In fact, Franken hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been

Al Franken said he and his comedy writing partner Tom Davis got their start jazzing up school announcements at a protestant school in Minneapolis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They let Jews in during the 1950s to keep the SAT scores up,â&#x20AC;? he quipped.

in the Senate two weeks before he co-sponsored the Service Dogs for Veterans Act, directing the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide service dogs to help returning veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder. The successful passage of that bill proved that his bid for Senate was no joke. And Frankenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk of the magic of dogs immediately endeared him to a Sun Valley audience well known for pampering dogs. Nick Maricich and Cheryle Hall immediately began showing one another pictures of their dogs on their iPhones and Nelson tried his darndest to help Franken understand what he meant when he said there were five dogs for every person in Blaine County. Franken said he met an Iraq veteran while awaiting the results of the recount that ensued over his election to the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;(â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a lot of time during the recount except I had to raise money to pay lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not bitter about that at all,â&#x20AC;? he added). The vet told Franken that his dog could sense when he was about to have a panic attack by the changes in his breathing and would nuzzle him to calm him

down. The dog also would take him by the sleeve when he forgot to take his medication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go up to a grubby, wounded veteran. But they will go up to a grubby, wounded veteran with a dog,â&#x20AC;? Franken added. Franken added that Sen. Johnny Isakson, the Georgian who co-sponsored the bill, related that he had gotten good feedback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Let me know when you need a co-sponsor for another bill.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, I have this gay billâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Franken quipped. Franken made a point to keep his talk neutral, saying those who wanted to see Al Franken unleashed could do so at a Democratic fundraiser the next day. But he did say that his dream legislation would be an omnibus bill that would include access to universal early childhood education to ensure the United States can be competitive in a

Kaylan Sisco, senior program director, said the kids made bird feeders for the senior center. And, after a service project for the animal shelter, one youngster requested that friends attending his birthday party bring dog treats, rather than birthday presents, for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford dog food. Ketchum resident Cheryle Hall recounted how she raised $30,000 at her own birthday party for the Y, which was then being built to honor her late friend Bill Janss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need anything, so I thought: Do it for the kids,â&#x20AC;? she tws said.

It would address global warming. And it would promote a system where doctors and clinics are reimbursed according to value rather than volume so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t patients as dollar signs to pay for their office equipment. In addition to sponsoring the service dog bill, Franken noted that he had sponsored a diabetes prevention act with Republican Sen. Dick Lugar. The lifestyle intervention program costs $300 a year to help pre-diabetics reduce their risk of developing diabetes by nearly 60 percent, he said. In contrast, it costs $6,000 to treat diabetes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, you can have a program like this at your Y,â&#x20AC;? he tws added.

Solemates Run for Girls on the Run

Twelve Wood River Valley women are traveling to Ashton, Idaho, on the edge of the Teton mountains to run a combined length of 180 miles over two passes and beautiful mountain scenery during the Grand Teton Relay August 17 and 18. Team “Sun Valley Solemates” are doing the race as a fundraiser and awareness builder for the Girls on the Run program. “We are choosing to stink up our vehicles together, sleep in awkward places, and run in the middle of the night, all for a great cause,” shared Girls on the Run Executive Director Mary Fauth. “I am participating in something bigger than anything I have ever been involved with before,” team member Susie Lambert shared in her fundraising letter. “I’m really glad I could raise money for GOTR because every year my daughter participated in the program we applied for and were granted scholarship money so this was a great way for me to give back to the program!” Smith Sports Optics and Di Vinci’s restaurant granted the athletes some fun fundraising incentive prizes and a team meal prior to the race. Pledges of support on behalf of any of the team members can be made by selecting the appropriate team member on the Sun Valley Solemate team page: http://www.imathlete.com/donate/ GrandTetonRelayTeam2012 To learn about the SoleMate charity racing arm of the Girls on the Run program, visit http://www.girlsontherunwrv.org/solemates/ or phone 208-788-7863.

p to 130 of the world’s best paragliding pilots are expected to converge on Sun Valley from Saturday, Aug. 18, through Saturday, Aug. 25, to compete in the 2012 Paragliding World Cup. The event, which will fill the skies over Sun Valley with colorful paragliding wings, is the fifth competition of the 2012 circuit season. Each day organizers will set a course based on wind and other weather factors. Pilots will likely begin launching from the top of Baldy about 11:30 a.m. as the thermals build, said Hailey pilot Nate Scales. Races will likely start about 1 p.m. after everyone’s had a chance to get up in the air. Pilots will fly between 25 and 100 miles each day as they race to check points and preordained finish lines near places like Galena Summit, Stanley and Challis. Each pilot will have a GPS proving they didn’t start too soon and that they flew the path they were supposed to. Winners receive a thousand points. Prime time for spectators will likely be between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. as the paragliders get up in the sky and circle Baldy waiting for the race to start, said Scales. Spectators can hike to the top

of Baldy or take Sun Valley’s River Run gondola up the mountain to witness the action at the launch site. Or they can even reserve a tandem paragliding flight with Fly Sun Valley (208726-3332) to join the competitors in the air. The Awards Party will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, at Ketchum’s Town Square. Old Death Whisper and The Lower Broadford Boys will provide live music. Power House will have food and beer available for sale. And spectators will have a chance to meet the athletes, hear their stories and take pictures with them. Up to 130 pilots are expected to take part in the 2012 U.S. Paragliding Nationals Aug. 27 through Sept 1 in Sun Valley, according to Chuck Smith of Fly Sun Valley. The U.S. Open-Distance Nationals will feature a different format than the World competition. Rather than flying to a preset destination, pilots will see how far they can fly. The national competition and a pre-World Cup competition were last held in Sun Valley in 2010. Smith says he’s jazzed about the opportunity to again showcase Sun Valley’s flying terrain. “It’s great to mark Sun Valley as a world-class flying destinatws tion,” he said.

Hands-On Nature with the ERC

Join the Environmental Resource Center this week for two hands-on nature explorations appropriate for all ages. The evening of Thursday, August 16 (6:30-9 p.m.), we’ll take an intimate look into the world of beavers out Greenhorn Gulch, with Lisa Huttinger, the ERC’s former education director, as our guide. We will learn about the amazing adaptations of North America’s largest rodent and see first-hand the modifications this keystone species makes to its environment. If you’re curious about river ecology, get your toes wet at Box Car Bend for River Romp on Friday evening, August 17 (6-8 p.m.). We will investigate the many plants and animals whose survival depends on the aquatic wonderland we call the Big Wood River. These events are free to ERC members. Non-members attend for a suggested donation of $10 per person, or $25 for a family. Please call the ERC 208.726.4333 for details or to register. For both events, we’ll meet at the ERC, 471 N. Washington St., Ketchum, to arrange carpools, or you may arrange to meet us at the event site. Leave pets at home, please.

WIND-BORN ADVENTURES, and the new heated gloves his wife gave him. And he runs off the side of Baldy, catching a thermal that takes him soaring with red-tailed hawks 14,000 feet into the sky. On Sunday, he soared above the Copper Basin as he took an aerial tour of the Pioneer Mountains. A couple of days earlier he soared over the “big pyro atomic bomb cloud” from the Halstead Fire as he looked for goldfields—places where a large number of pilots competing in the World Cup can land. “The higher you get, the cleaner the air gets,” he said. “It was so hot on the ground near Challis, but at 5,000 feet in the air it was so cool.” Nate has encountered a few glitches. Last summer he crashed in the White Cloud mountains when he lost control of his glider near Fourth of July Creek. “I had to walk a couple of hours but it worked out okay. The first car I encountered took me to Smiley Creek and bought me a beer,” he said. Lisa, who has had her own adventures sailing with Nate on a nine-month trip off the coast of Mexico, says her husband exercises great care when flying. ”I’m always getting asked, ‘How can you stand it?’ I never worry about him. I’ve seen him walk up a huge mountain and say, ‘It doesn’t feel right,’ and walk down,” she said. Nate’s mother, Ann Scales, echoes Lisa’s thoughts. “I honestly can say I do not worry about him,” she said. “He trains relentlessly to keep himself in great condition so that, if something should happen at 16,000 feet, he has the strength and mental acuteness to handle it. He has always had that uncanny ability to apply intense awareness and good sense to whatever he does, especially when he participates in extreme sports.”

from page 1 Nate admits that paragliding has been slow to catch on in Sun Valley, despite Sun Valley’s reputation as a premiere launch pad. The Sun Valley club has just 20 pilots while Jackson’s has 250. Scales attributes that to a rash of accidents that befell some of Sun Valley’s top athletes when they were sold some of the sports’ early gliders without being taught the skills necessary to fly the tricky thermals that can develop in Sun Valley’s high-altitude terrain. “Everyone saw what happened to them and were afraid to try it,” he said. Local interest in paragliding is growing, however, thanks in part to the efforts of Sun Valley Paragliding President Mike Pfau, he says. “Yesterday, when I went to the hill, there were 15 people there, including an 18-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy…We even have a father-son team now.” Nate got his 40th birthday wish last month, taking his six-year-old daughter Ripley and three-year-old daughter Daisy for tandem rides from the top of Baldy. “You have never seen two bigger smiles when they landed in at the end of each ride,” said Ann Scales. Nate says he’ll be wearing a big smile this coming week as he meets new people he would never have met had it not been for paragliding. “It will be so fun to have the best people in the world to fly with. When you’ve got 30 other dudes with you, your pace goes up. I’ll learn so much in a week, watching how they glide, and I’ll be standing on a mountaintop with people speaking all these different languages,” he said. “In addition, we’ll have a dude from Colombia and a girl from Liechtenstein staying at our house. Hopefully, we will get to go to those places one day and have someone who can show us tws around.”

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, "Free" is such a dangerous word in my household. Our puppy was free, but a lot of work. The fish tank was free, but it needed fish. Now my husband has found an ad for an above ground swimming pool that is, as you guessed it, free. The catch is that we have to go empty and dismantle it to bring it home. He is all excited about the opportunity. I, on the other hand, have never had a pool, but my impression is that they are a lot of work to set up and take care of every year. Right now my husband can't even keep our fish tank from turning green and that's only ten gallons. I'm not sure we're ready for a pool. Can you guys give us some idea of what we should be looking at when we go to get this pool and how long it might take? Thanks.

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Cash: As you've already learned, "free" can sometimes come with hidden costs. Although, buying fish shouldn't be expensive unless you have to keep replacing them. Carry: Before you take on the responsibility of adding an above ground pool, there are a few

things you should consider. The first is to check your town's ordinances to see what they require for above ground pools. They may have certain requirements such as a fence or permit. Cash: As you may suspect, there are maintenance costs associated with owning a pool such as chemicals, replacement parts and electricity to run the filter. Since these do vary based on the size of the pool, ask the owner if he can give you an idea of his annual costs. Carry: Before you take the pool, spend a lot of time looking it over. You don't want to bring home a headache simply because

it's free. Cash: Since the pool is currently full, you have a good opportunity to see it in action. Check the liner for tears or damage and carefully look over the pool filter. If the pool is several years old, you may start to see rust or corrosion that can lead to costly repairs. Carry: If everything seems in good shape, recruit as many friends as possible. Moving all the heavy parts can take some time. Cash: Considering you have to empty and dismantle the pool, you should set aside at least a full day to bring it home. After all, it is much larger than a fish tank.

When the weather gets hot, adding a pool to your yard can seem like a great idea. But how does it affect your property value? According to the National Association of Realtors, an inground pool can add an average of 7.7% to your home's value. This percentage does vary depending on your region. However, above ground pools do not have the same effect. They typically add no value to a home and in some cases can reduce the value by up to two percent.

Life Guard

There is nothing kids love more than splashing in the pool on a hot summer day, but it's important to keep them safe. Sadly, each year about 300 children under the age of five drown in pool related incidents. So if you have a pool in your yard, take the proper safety precautions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends installing a 4-foot fence around all sides of the pool. Any gates should open outward and be self-closing and self-latching. If your house forms one side of the fenced in area, add alarms to your doors to let you know when they are unexpectedly opened.

Reader Humor Swim Team

Every season I hire a college kid to help me with my pool cleaning business. This year, though, I learned I should ask more questions in the interview. The kid I hired seemed excited and ready to work. On the first job he eagerly jumped out of the truck and grabbed all the gear, but not before pulling a life jacket from his bag and strapping it on. "You know we're only cleaning the pool," I joked with him. "Oh I know," he replied surprising me. "But I have no idea how to swim!"
