Battle of the Blades It’s Back! STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

Teachers Get a Pat on the Back and a Pep Talk STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
eachers got a pat on the back and a pep talk last week as they prepared to return to classrooms this week. School Superintendent Lonnie Barber and others honored teachers like Ken Mecham, who has taught school for 40 years at Carey, and Cindy Ashliman, who has taught third grade for 35 years at Hailey Elementary. Then he showed teachers a viewer’s condensed version of “The Ron Clark Story” as they munched on popcorn in the new Wood River Performing Arts Center at the Community Campus. The movie stars Matthew Perry as a real-life teacher who found a way to help “the losers” in a school in Harlem out-excel even the honors class. Clark’s book topped The New York Times bestseller list for 13 weeks and he now as an academy in Atlanta, Ga. “I teach you to learn. You teach me to learn, and together we learn to love learning,” Clark told his students. Barber told teachers that the story was about a person who sees his job as a calling, rather than a profession from which to command respect, a job to pay the bills or a cross to bear. “Ron Clark, because of his calling, changed lives. And he didn’t just change lives for the year he was in those students’ class. He changed their lives forever,” he said. “No kids are losers. All have challenges. It’s up to us to help them get through those challenges. Imagine what would have happened to those students if they’d never met Ron Clark.” The Blaine County School District is journeying toward “a world-class student-focused center of learning,” Barber told the teachers. “What we are is one of the best school systems you’ll find anywhere, not just in Idaho,” he said. “What we are is a roomful of people who care about kids.”
By the numbers…
The Blaine School District has about 3,200 students and nearly 400 staff this year. Forty percent of the students receive free or reduced-cost lunches. The school installed 440 new computers this year. The school received more than 1,800 applications for jobs this past summer.

ortney Vandenburgh was just another doctor slinging a stethoscope. Then Gia Guddat put an umbrella in her hand and Lisa-Marie Allen sent her spinning. Now, Vandenburgh is a twirling maven about to make her debut on the Sun Valley ice Cortney Vandenburgh rink to the tune of tries a few tentative Mary Poppins’s “A steps on the ice with Spoonful of Sugar pro Andrei Khvalko. (Makes the Medicine Go Down).” Vandenburgh will be one of nine amateurs skating in the Battle of the Blades… It’s Back!, which takes place at 8 p.m. Saturday at Sun Valley’s outdoor ice rink. Most have skated little, if at all, up until now. But for the past couple of weeks they’ve been skating with Sun Valley’s ice pros under the tutelage of Allen and Guddat, whom former professional ice skater Nick Maricich says are among the tops in the figure-skating industry. “They’re two of the most professional people that I know of in the business,” said Maricich. “There are very few people who know as much as they do.” Indeed, Allen—a 1980 Olympian—was the 1997 American Open Professional Champion, 1990 World Professional Champion, two-time U.S. Free Skating Champion, three-time U.S. Ladies Silver Medalist and a featured star for The Ice Capades and a variety of other productions. A national technical specialist, Allen received an Emmy for choreographing the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. She was also the associate choreographer on the film “Blades of Glory” starring Will Farrell and a choreographer for a TV special starring Scott Hamilton. And, she just landed a 2012 U.S. Figure Skating gold medal in dance. Guddat, who used to skate pairs with Olympic skater Gary Beacom, has created Sun Valley Summer Ice Shows for 16 years, as well as many of the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club’s shows. A double gold medalist in freestyle and dance, Guddat also choreographed the Disney On Ice show for seven years, Nancy Kerrigan’s “Christmas on Ice” and “Halloween on Ice,” and last year’s “Kaleidoscope” show for Fox TV. And she just coached three local skaters to national titles competing against 400 of the best skaters in the nation at the 2012 U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase. Last year they took on a bunch of people who were tops on skis and in other fields but had little or no experience on ice skates for the inaugural Battle of the Blades put on by the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. “Some of these people are learning a completely new sport,” said Allen. “Some began hitting the ice in May—as soon as they were chosen for the competition. Miles Fink Debray, for instance, has skated two hours every day since. Others—like Kaitlyn Farrington, who just got back from snowboarding in New Zealand, and Erin Rheinschild, who had foot surgery last
spring—will only have a few weeks to prepare for the show.” “People are finding a new inner strength they didn’t know they had. They’re conquering fears,” added Guddat. “All of those who participated last year said this was the best thing they’ve ever been involved in—they got to reach out and meet a new community. And the skating rink here in Sun Valley is such a huge part of this community.” Allen and Guddat played to the personalities and strengths of each competitor. Keith Perry, for instance, has eschewed skates for golf clubs throughout his life, so they came up with a comic golf routine on ice for him. Twenty-four-year-old Miles Fink Debray, who won a couple of FIS giant slalom races last winter, is very athletic so they gave him a cute boyfriend routine in which he performs several lifts. The Elephant’s Perch’s Bob Rosso? Think suave Frank Sinatra-type. Ketchum firefighter Lara McLean will skate to “Disco Inferno.” Community School teacher Hannes Thum, who has a predilection for the ‘80s, will do a number from that era. Kaitlyn Farrington will do a Britney Spears medley. Erin Rheinschild, who heads up Sun Valley Adaptive Sports, will do a new twist on “Swan Lake,” extreme biker Billy Olsen is doing a routine loosely based on “Pulp Fiction” and Dr. Vandenburgh will do her number about helping the medicine go down. There will also be a tribute to Herman Maricich, who taught everybody from Lucille Ball to the first batch of kids that later became the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. Community School student Joyce Chan will perform the skating slinky that won her a 2012 U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase title. Four ensemble skaters will perform to a new single that Tyia Wilson is releasing. And the Sun Valley Suns hockey team will do a twist on the movie “Slap Shot.” It’s the latter bunch that is actually the most difficult to choreograph and coach, said Guddat. “They’re used to being on ice, but they’re not trained in figure skating, so it’s like talking Chinese to them,” she said. “We didn’t realize they don’t pay attention to the music. And they’re kind of (freaked out) by the spotlight,” Allen added. With their credentials, both Guddat and Allen could have worked anywhere. Guddat says she fell in love with Sun Valley because she grew up in Canada—Toronto, to be exact. “I felt like I was living in a meat locker—it was always cold there. And hockey rules. I came here one summer and realized I could skate outside in the summer. There’s nowhere else you can do that. And I like the mountains and hiking. After being in big cities and on the road all the time, it’s nice to come to a small town like this.” Allen, who used to star in shows in the 1980s, moved here four years ago to work with the highest ranking competitive skaters, training them how to jump higher and rotate more cleanly. This rink is more nurturing for the creative side than most rinks with their four walls closing in, she said. There’s more elbowroom on the ice here. Skaters get to learn from the stars who perform in Sun Valley’s ice shows. And local skaters have a built-in audience from Sun Valley’s guests 12 months of the year so they get comfortable skating in front of others.

Muffy Davis Goes For Gold STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
M
uffy Davis already has a ski run named after her, thanks to a handful of medals she won on her mono-ski at the 1998 and 2002 Paralympics in Nagano, Japan, and Salt Lake City, Utah. Now she’s gunning for a plaque on the bike path or at Ketchum’s bike pump park. Or, maybe a road named after her, like Kristin Armstrong has in Boise. The 39-year-old Wood River High School and Stanford University graduate wants to add three Summer Paralympics medals to her Winter Paralympics collection. Davis starts her quest today, racing in a 16-kilometer time trial. She will compete in a 48-kilometer road race on Friday and a handcycle relay on Saturday. “I’m excited,” said Davis, who was paralyzed in a ski training accident on Bald Mountain when she was 16. “With my level of injury, I could never let it all out in skiing—your core is so important. Here I can lay it all out.” Davis, who lives in the Salt Lake City area, took up handcycling three years ago to get back in shape after the birth of her daughter. She won a national championship in a 19.6-kilometer time trial at the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Road Cycling National Championships this summer in Augusta, Georgia. And she won three World Cup gold medals in Rome in May. She also was crowned Woman’s H2 National Champion Time Trial and Road Racer, Women’s H2 Overall World Cup Champion and Handcycle Relay World Champion in 2011, a year in which she won six World Cup gold medals. Davis, whose given name is Marianna, says she likes the course in London. “It’s a great course with lots of hills. It’s technical, too, which I like.” And if she does well?
“Yes, maybe even Rio,” she said, looking ahead to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. The 2012 Paralympics has attracted record-breaking ticket sales in London, thanks in part to a flashy marketing campaign shining on the spotlight on “murder ball,” or chair hockey, and some of the top competitors. Among them: the “Blade Runner” —South African double amputee and sprinter Oscar Pistorius, who made history a few weeks ago running in the 400-meter event at the 2012 Olympics. NBC Sports Network will air one-hour highlight shows today, Thursday and Tuesday. The specials will re-air on Universal Sports Network and www. Universal Sports.com NBC plans to broadcast a 90-minute special at noon Sun Valley time on Sept. 16. The International Paralympic Committee is live streaming more than 780 hours of events. The U.S. Olympic Committee has created a YouTube channel dedicated to the games. And the U.S. Paralympic Team is offering coverage of Team USA on its website.
On Television This year’s Paralympics are expected to draw their largest ever live television audience—except in the United States, where events will receive only minimal coverage and won’t be screened as they happen, prompting anger from some fans and campaigners. The Associated Press reports that while viewers in countries including Brazil, China, Britain and Australia will enjoy several hours of coverage per day, U.S. audiences must contend with 5 1/2 hours of programming— some of which will air only after the 11-day competition in London has concluded on Sept. 9. That has left some equality campaigners complaining that Paralympic athletes, who include military veterans, aren’t being treated as the equal of their tws able-bodied teammates.

assia County Rodeo Queen Max McCammon was on Cloud Nine as she marked riding in the Wagon Days parade off her bucket list on Saturday. But the Big Hitch parade was the last place Brillo, a 4-monthold bison, wanted to be. Brillo, who was feeling as rough in his tummy as the woolly steel pad for which he is named, balked and dug in his heels at every chance as 13-yearold Justin Williams pulled him down the route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a stomach ache,â&#x20AC;? explained Williams, without speculating whether too many corn dogs or hot cakes could have been to blame. Except for Brilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balking, the Big Hitch parade went off without a hitch. Thousands of people poured into Ketchum for the spectacle, standing several people deep along Main Street. And gargantuan thunderclouds rising over Baldy and Adams Gulch declined to rain on the parade, serving up only a few sprinkles afterwards. The crowd of onlookers included 35 members of an extended family from Burley and Gooding, some of whom played cards on a table theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d set up on Sun Valley Road while awaiting the parade. The troupe has spent a long fiveday weekend in the Sun Valley area each Labor Day for the past 20 years, said Don Knopp. Grandma shops the antique shows; Grandpa scouts out the antique car show; and the kids take in the kids carnival, duck
race and Bellevue Labor Day activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good family vacation,â&#x20AC;? said Abbie Lindsay. This year family members witnessed Hailey artist Ralph Harris riding by dressed up as Meriwether Lewis, and Little Bo Peep, aka Silvia Lockyer, in a carriage pulled by her miniature horse who masqueraded as her little lost sheep. And they got to see an encore performance by nine-year-old Ralphie, the Bactrian camelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this time ridden by pint-sized Mya Williams, Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is America. This is who we are,â&#x20AC;? said Hailey artist Ted Waddell, as he and his wife Lynn Campion joined church friends on the curb along Sun Valley Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can you think of anything more American than thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a parade, kids, hot dogs? When I see this, I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in a funk anymore.â&#x20AC;? tws

Music on Her Mind BY JONATHAN KANE
J
essica Lamprecht, a Wood River High School senior carrying a 3.82 grade point average and a member of National Honor Society, has music on her mind. To be specific, it’s the piano, violin and guitar that are on her mind. Accomplished at the piano and violin and just starting on the guitar, Lamprecht has been playing since she was nine years old. “I was always fascinated with music,” she said. “I really liked singing in church and since we had a piano at home I started with that and got lessons from a friend of the family across the street. I first tried at five years old with my grandmother, but I didn’t continue, although I remember learning Jingle Bells in July.” At nine, Lamprecht was taking lessons every Saturday and practicing one and a half hours a week. “I love the piano because it’s used in everything and because it has so much character. Also, you don’t need an accompanist. The big downside is that you can’t travel with your instrument. You never know exactly what you are getting when you show up to play.” Lamprecht started playing the violin at the age of 12. “In elementary school, they brought them in to show us and I thought that was pretty cool. At twelve, I moved to a new school and they needed a violin player so I joined the middle school orchestra (she moved to the Wood River Valley from Rigby, Idaho, two years ago). At a point there I nearly quit, but then it really took off. I tried out for the orchestra and never looked back. But I still like being a soloist on the piano because I crave the spotlight and almost always perform alone and like the grand pieces that I can do. The advantage, though, to the violin is that the instrument is mine and I take it with me when I go to play. I also love that when I’m playing, the violin and I seem to be one.” At present, Lamprecht performs with the Wood River High School orchestra, the chamber orchestra and she performs as part of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony School of Music. She currently takes lessons every week in piano and violin and one group lesson in piano with the SVSS and also played in a piano honors recital. “I love to perform, as it gives me a chance to show off my talents.” Now she is trying

the guitar. “I got one a couple of years ago for Christmas and this summer I got inspired and decided I wanted to play. Right now I know four chords and I just want to jam with people.” As for her favorite composer, Lamprecht cites Chopin because “he wrote such beautiful and flowing music for the piano and I really love to play it.” Lamprecht started at Wood River her sophomore year. Part of her time is spent being involved with the Key Club, which works in partnership with the Kiwanis Club and provides volunteer services for the community. “We meet every Wednesday and discuss activities that we can be involved in. We do things like helping out with Wagon Days and we do a lot of work with The Hunger Coalition. We also work at Head Start at CSI where we come in twice a week and read to underprivileged kids. It’s really fun because the kids are so excited to see you and you become their best friend at lunch hour.” In high school, Lamprecht has taken Advanced Placement U.S. history, statistics, and language and composition, and this year will be taking literature and government. “I think I like history the most. It’s cool to see where you’ve come from and things like the influence of music and the Catholic church.” She added, “Wood River took a while to get used to. There was a bit of culture shock because it was smaller than I was used to. I think you can get the best education in the state of Idaho there and the teachers really want you to succeed.” It seems as though a lot of success awaits Lamprecht in her future. tws
Wild Gift Service Features Rod Nash STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
R
od Nash has spoken at a number of prestigious universities since his seminal book, “Wilderness and the American Mind,” came out in 1967. Last week he delivered yet another sermon in the parking lot of Backwoods Mountain Sports—this one a graduation speech for the Wild Gift class of 2012. Nash, who lived in Ketchum for 10 years, addressed his remarks to four young entrepreneurs who’d just finished a 16-day backpack trip that took them up 16,000 vertical feet and seven peaks in the White Cloud Mountains north of Ketchum. “If we had an eharmony. com for the universe,” he said, “it would read: ‘Temperate but beleaguered planet… seeks longterm, caring relationship with intelligent life form.’ “Maybe it could be us,” he added. “Maybe it still could be us.” It was fitting that Nash addressed the young graduates, since the Wild Gift program, started by Ketchum resident Bob Jonas in 2002, uses wilderness as a mentor for young entrepreneurs who have dreams of changing their small corner of the world. For a long time, Nash told them, man thought of wilderness as a curse and something to be conquered. A gesture of planetary modesty would be to pursue preservation, he said. “When we preserve, we exercise restraint,” he said. “It’s a

lesson we haven’t learned well.” Spencer Brendal, a Sun Valley native, told the 50 supporters gathered in the parking lot that he didn’t know how good he had it growing up in Sun Valley until he went to Africa and saw kids drinking dirty water. Now Brendal, a hockey player at a Minnesota college, wants to build an organization called PlayHard GiveBack. He will partner with athletes to market and sell an athleteendorsed trail mix and give the proceeds to social causes of the athletes’ choice. “Athletes spend countless hours developing themselves,” he said. “I want to harness some of that dedication for things like clean water projects.” Micah Sewell of Missoula said he wants to develop an artisan hard-cider business using abandoned orchards around Missoula. Currently, the neglected heirloom trees attract bears, many of which must be relocated or euthanized as a result. Brooke Laura, of Rockville, Md., has founded a Nepali school called Saprinu (“to flourish”), which offers music, arts, theater, sports, writing and math to a

hundred Nepali children. And Margiana Petersen-Rockney wants to create a mobile kitchen that will travel to small farms in Massachusetts and help farmers prepare dinners using their produce and create educational workshops to expand the farms’ customer base. Wild Gift has launched 38 projects in eight countries and 15 states. Nineteen of those projects are still running, and 37 of those 38 young entrepreneurs are still working to improve our world, said Wild Gift’s Executive Director Deborah Knapp. “They’re not standing on the sidelines. They’re trying to solve some of the biggest problems, and they’re succeeding,” she said. “What they all have in common is a fire in their belly. They’re very driven by a vision of a new world.” For more information, go to tws wildgift.org

Decoding Your Water Bottles
STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

he United States still leads the world in consumption of single-use bottles of water. Manufacturing these luxury products wastes water and petroleum, and let’s not forget to factor in the fuel spent hauling the bottles to retailers. Recycling rates for single-use bottles have increased dramatically, but the big question is still: why buy them at all? After the episodes of bisphenol A (or BPA) contamination from plastic bottles a couple of years ago, lots of safe refillable water bottle alternatives have surfaced. The plastic to avoid is polycarbonate, which contains BPA. You can assume that any new bottles purchased will be BPA-free, but be skeptical about plastic bottles, or plastic-lined aluminum bottles, which you bought before 2010. For a rigid reusable plastic bottle, the material of choice is polypropylene, with Tritan (or copolyester) being a close second, because the polypro bottles are tougher. For a squeezable bottle, both HDPE and LDPE plastics make good, inexpensive, though opaque, containers. Aluminum and stainless steel have the best odor resistance among all the bottle choices. Aluminum bottles are plastic lined to avoid metallic taste, so make sure the lining is BPA-free. Stainless steel bottles don’t need lining, and can withstand acidic liquids like wine, but are a bit heavy. Have a question, or want to write your own ERCbeat?

Ian McFeron Returns Free Vibes Features I Phools on Stools FREE VIBES
BY KAREN BOSSICK
an McFeron, whose lyrical prose has been compared to Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams and David Gray, will return to the Sun Valley Brewery in Hailey at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9. McFeron, who hails from Seattle, weaves together a variety of roots-Americana traditions to create his own unique form of roots-oriented American music. He just released his sixth album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer Nights,â&#x20AC;? which he recorded and mixed in just 10 days at Studio G! in East Nashville, Tennessee. The album was produced by Patty Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time guitarist and musical collaborator, Doug Lancio, and includes musical performances by McFeronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time musical partner Alisa Milner on fiddle and cello. â&#x20AC;&#x153;2011 was a big year for us,â&#x20AC;? McFeron says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recorded the new album in Nashville with some of our heroes, toured the United States from coast to coast twice, and played our first international tour. After the spring release of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer Nights,â&#x20AC;? McFeron and Milner embarked on a threemonth, 68-show tour of the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stayed hungry and ambitious over the years. I was talking with a friend, and counted that I was only home for eight scattered weeks in 2011. Every year or two we try to double our

After two years of living on the interstates of America, McFeron pushed across the Atlantic, adding 32 fall performances spread throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The performances in Ireland were of personal significance to McFeron. Exactly ten years ago, he spent three months in Belfast with the University of Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comparative History of Ideas department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were there this November, Belfast was hosting the European MTV awards. Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, all these celebrities were staying in the Europa Hotel downtown. Ten years ago, the Europa was infamous for being the most heavily bombed hotel in Europe.

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR sepT. 5, 2012 By: Jim sanTa
W
hile we continue to deal some smoky days here in the Wood River Valley fishing is one activity that is certainly not affected, the fish have no idea it’s smoky. In fact, the hazy skies may actually enhance fishing. The smoke has been variable, so we’ll have clear skies off and on as the winds change. As heavy exertion is not suggested when the smoke rolls in fishing is an excellent alternative, and fishing is good. Time of day is likely to be the most important factor right now. With the water being at it’s lowest and warmest of the season it will pay to start fairly early. On the Big Wood I would suggest being on the water by about 9:00 a.m. and things will slow down substantially after the noon hour. In this morning window we are seeing a good number of small mayflies, namely Tricos. While fishing size 20 trico patterns on the big Wood presents quite a challenge, there are some easier ways to approach it. A large indicator fly with a small zebra midge trailer will fish well, and small dries such as parachute adams in sizes 16 and 18 will work just fine. Look to the shallower riffle water to be holding a lot of the fish now as it provides good oxygen and cover. The heat of the day will be challenging, but hoppers may attract some attention, run a zebra midge as a trailer for best success. The action in the evening has been decent. While there have not been any really strong hatches, the fish are active and feeding. Pick your favorite mayfly or caddis pattern for the evening and cover as much water as you can. Silver Creek is in a bit of transition right now. We’re seeing the remnants of a rather inconsistent trico hatch this season. There are some callibaetis in the ponds and a mix of baetis can happen any time of day. Hopper and damsel fishing in the afternoon has been nearly as good as anything. With the weather pattern changing a bit and the nights cooling down we’ll begin to see more consistency. We’ll start to see stronger hatches of baetis mid morning and the mahogany duns should be right around the corner. As we often reference to our customers, the best time of season to fish is after Labor Day. It’s hard to believe it’s already here, but it is a great time of season and we’ll look forward to a lot of great fishing ahead. Stay tuned and enjoy the weekend!

From The Ganges To The Snake River—An East Indian In The American West By Debu Majumdar, paperback 2000, 241 pgs. BY MARGOT VAN HORN
T
he Disney Company’s new family fare movie The Odd Life of Timothy Green is indeed odd. Part fable and part reality, the film seeks to impart global lessons on life but instead just comes up short on wisdom and heart. But it sure scores big in the sweetness department, with a sentimentality that could make you gag. It’s hard to be too tough on the movie because, remember, it’s a family picture and these seem to be rarer and rarer these days. And you certainly have to give credit to Disney for continuing in their fine tradition of live action films geared toward all ages. The story centers around a married couple, played by Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton, who have given up on their efforts to conceive. The story is told in flashbacks as they plead their case to an adoption agency and they relate their magical and completely unbelievable story. After a night of drinking wine, they decide to write out all the perfect qualities they want in a child and bury the slips of paper in a box in their backyard. Lo and behold, a tremendous storm occurs and, out of the field, like a plant, emerges a fully formed and muddy 10-year-old boy. Also of interest is that he has sprouted leaves out of his calves and ankles. He immediately calls them Mom and Dad and they introduce him to their nonplussed friends and family. For the parents, all their dreams have come true and they now have the perfect child. But, of course, there is soon to be a storm because as fall approaches, the boy begins to lose his magical leaves and his death is foretold. But there have been lessons of acceptance and gratitude learned by all and isn’t that what you expect from a Disney family tws drama? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
H
ere is a very unique, tender biographical book written by an author who originates from Calcutta, India, has a doctorate degree in physics and finds himself with his family living in Idaho Falls. Debu has evidently mastered both his left and right brain spheres, because his lighthearted essays make for a beautiful read. To be gained by the reader are some wonderful retelling of legends of both Indian lore and our own Native Americans, as well as some very interesting and humorous observations by an immigrant who shows his torn allegiances and passions about both his new land and that of his old. Here in this book you will find among many other observations some wonderful tales of the elusive trout Debu so desperately wants to make into a curry; cowboy and Indian cultural revelations; stories dealing with animals; a son/father project to make the best in the Pinewood Derby competition; and tales of our wonderful Western outback here in Idaho. Then, of course, there is his lovely narrative comparing the Ganges to the Snake River. Because I myself am a naturalized citizen and also have tales to tell of my experiences (some humorous and some not so) as a transient in the U.S. during and immediately after World War II, this book really hit home with me. But even if you are a native Idahoan, I think that this is a book that you will really enjoy and that might even tell you a few things that you did not know about Idaho. So, don’t miss reading it as one of your summer reads. As well, you might want to check out Debu’s more recent book for children: Viku And The Elephant, 2011, suitable for second- to fifth-graders. It’s really an adorable story with lovely illustrations. You and the kids will like it a lot. Give us your feedback at martws got6@mindspring.com

Jean decker
H
AILEY — Jean Decker passed away peacefully at home on August 31, 2012 from the end stage of Alzheimer’s disease, following her husband Dan’s passing of just a few weeks. She was 92 years old. Jean was born on February 26, 1920 in San Francisco, California. She was a “Navy junior” growing up in the Philippines, Pensacola, Vallejo, and San Diego. She attended Vallejo High School and San Diego State. In the summer of 1941, Jean’s father was transferred to Annapolis, Maryland, as Procurement Office for the Naval hospital. Jean was already engaged to someone in San Diego and did want to move. Crying all the way across country her mother said every time she turned around, the back seat was “awash”. With her diamond ring firmly anchored on her finger, she endured the trip anyway, tearfully fighting over the back seat with her mother’s dog Irish, also known to the family as “Grandma”. Jean eventually got a job in a record store where the midshipmen would come in and listen to records for free. On their meager salaries of a few dollars a month, this was a pretty good deal. Dan Decker and his roommates came in to the shop. She and Dan got acquainted, started dating and were married on September 21, 1942. When Dan shipped out for the war, Jean stayed behind in San Francisco, rented a studio apartment and worked at Ernst and Young. For the next 22 years, she enjoyed the travel and adventure of their transfers in the states and abroad. Jean participated in luncheons, fashion shows and travel tours. In Maine, she was President of the Officers’ Wives Club. She also had two middle names: SHOES and SHOPPING. Shopping was great fun to her wherever they lived. After moving to Hailey, Jean got involved in aerobics and aqua aerobics, making friends with a wonderful group of women. She volunteered at the Hailey

Library for almost twenty years, walked dogs at the Animal Shelter adopting at least three beloved shelter pets. Jean was a voracious reader, kept up a voluminous correspondence with friends around the world and later in life was a real homebody. She had a beautiful, natural singing voice and loved opera. The family remembers her singing to La Boheme while vacuuming around the house. Two of her favorite colors were orange and yellow. Friends have remarked they could recognize Jean on the bike path dressed in bright yellow walking her threelegged dog. Jean also had a wicked sense of humor. Even through her journey with Alzheimer’s she’d come out with some very funny oneliners. When one of the Hospice nurses asked if she could get her anything, without missing a beat Jean retorted, “How about a new husband!”. Jean is survived by her son Dan and daughter Julie. She was preceded in death by her husband Daniel, her parents and a four-day old brother. A gathering to celebrate Dan and Jean’s life together will be announced. Arrangements are under the care of Wood River Chapel, and friends are invited to leave condolences and share memories at www.woodriverchapel.com.

eather Johnston stood at the gaping hole leading into the Great Copper
mine. Then, with the eyes of two dozen people focused on her, she brushed the palm of her hand over the rock lining the mine. “This is why I like to show this to schoolchildren,” she said, as the rock crumbled like dust to the ground. “This looks sturdy but it’s not. The timbers that used to hold up this mine are gone. Before we had children, I went back in here and I was breathing so hard—partly to get oxygen but partly because I was so scared. In fact, my husband threw a rock back and it caused a little bit of a cave-in. When we had children, we agreed no more going into mine shafts.” While they no longer go in mine shafts, Johnston and her husband Carl may have started a new tradition over Labor Day weekend as they opened their property west of Bellevue to tours for the first time in 40 years. About 160 people took advantage of the tours Saturday morning and Johnston said she received e-mails from another 200 people who wanted to attend but could not. “As long as we have the property, we may have to make

this a Labor Day tradition,” said Johnston, who had a busy Labor Day weekend between performing with the Boulder Brothers and riding in her family’s mine Jeep in the Bellevue Labor Day parade. The mine tour attracted a couple of gold prospectors from Twin Falls, a man who said he’d helped build the equipment in the winch house and a man who has served as a mining consultant. Johnston presented information she’d found in five file boxes of records that came with the property when her husband’s father bought it in 1975. Some of the original documents tell a different story than the history books, she added, as she started off telling of Jacob City, which preceded the town of Bellevue.
There are 19 mines in the canyon and miles of tunnels lying beneath them with rooms in some, she said. “Even today, there’s one mine big enough to drive a bulldozer in,” she added. tws

egar, and salt and pepper in a bowl and add corn kernels. Serve warm or cold. This can be made one day ahead. P.S. One of my favorite ways of cooking our wonderful corn is in the microwave. First I slightly cut the soft end just a bit and then I soak the ears in cold water for half an hour. Then I wrap them in a paper towel and place them in the microwave—2 minutes per ear, so if only 1 ear, 2 minutes; 2 ears, 4 minutes; etc. I take them out carefully, take the husk off with the help of kitchen gloves and—voila!—crunchy crisp corn for your delight.

Tegernsee Youth Leave One Behind

ranzi Joos first visited the Sun Valley area two years ago with a group of youth from Ketchumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister city of Tegernsee, Germany. Joos returned a few weeks ago. But this time she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to Germany with her cohorts. Joos will stay with Keith and Wendy Jones and their daughter Nora on their ranch several miles this side of Picabo for the next year. And she will attend Wood River High School as a sophomore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went back and told my parents how awesome it was here and that I wanted to come back not just for two-and-a-half weeks, but for a whole year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to hanging out with a new group of friends.â&#x20AC;? Joos joined 14 youngsters escorted by three chaperones at the Warm Springs home of Michael Stonebeck and Lisa Vierling Friday night. The kids
gobbled up chips and dips, pizza, Idaho scalloped potatoes and even Jell-O salad, which one teenager said was an unfamiliar novelty. Then they capped the night off with sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores heated over an outdoor firepit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like having carrot cake for breakfast,â&#x20AC;? said Nikola Krepek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And banana breadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I like the banana bread,â&#x20AC;? echoed Johanna Ledermann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, and the cakes they serve with maple syrupâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really good,â&#x20AC;? added Regina Staude. The youngsters rode the gondola to the top of Baldy, rafted the Salmon River near Stanley, swam in Redfish Lake and rode in the Wagon Days Parade on Saturday. Parades are big in Germany, said Vierling. In fact, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one dedicated to women and horses in which groups ride in beautiful painted wagons. The youth exchanges have been going on since 1980. A group of German youth visit Ketchum every other year and

he definition of a lifechanging event reads: “Altering a person’s life or circumstances in a substantial way.” The impact of this definition is not necessarily meaningful, unless I place my name within the definition itself. Go ahead and try. A life-changing event is altering _________’s (place your name in blank) life or circumstances in a substantial way. Now let’s discuss the definition of long-term care (LTC). LTC is a range of services and supports you may need to meet your health or personal need over a long period of time. It is assistance that a person needs such as cooking, eating, dressing and bathing because he/she has a physical or cognitive impairment. I would like to propose that long-term care is not only requiring services and supports to meet your health or personal needs, it is also a life-changing event. By definition, either requiring or providing long-term care for yourself or another could potentially have devastating consequences for the people you care for or have responsibilities for. I understand it is hard to imagine a physical or cognitive impairment impacting you and your family. The truth is you may not need long-term care. However, I would like to propose a few questions to ponder: • Do you believe you could live a long life? And if you do, do you think there is a chance that you could require long-term care? • Have you considered what the consequences would be to your family emotionally and physically if you need care over a period of years? • What do you think providing care would do to the mental, physical and financial wellbeing of those you love and are responsible for? • How would paying for that care impact your current lifestyle and commitments? Would the need for long-term care disrupt the plans you have in place for your retirement? My next article will address: How assets do not pay for care—income pays for care; and how to transfer the cost of care to an insurance company with a long-term care insurance policy.

ow often have you been at a party or walking down the street or in a restaurant and a “middleaged” person comes into view with the “hatchet-in-the-neck” appearance, or the windswept facial tightness along with the “deer in the headlights,” or the “Dr. Spock” eyebrows and the hollowed-out-eyelid look, or the “joker” look? I certainly have seen too many of these patients who had obviously had poorquality cosmetic surgery of the face done somewhere else. Usually these occurrences are at the hands of good marketers whose skill set and training are devoid of quality and artistic awareness, or from skilled surgeons who are trying to accomplish more than possible and, consequently, they lose the pleasant, natural look. In my opinion the excellent face rejuvenation result is one that makes a person look better and more youthful without the telltale signs of poorly planned and poorly executed facial rejuvenation. About 20 years ago I invested many days of learning from different global experts in the field of “subperiosteal vertical face lift.” The learning curve for effective, efficient and reliable, minimal-risk subperiosteal surgery was steep, requiring visits to many experts in foreign countries as well as in America and many courses both in the United States and abroad. Since that time I have rarely parted from this technique. I believe that this technique allows for the most natural appearance of all facelift techniques. In essence, lifting the tissues off the underlying bones
(subperiosteal) allows surgery to be done in the safest of all parts of facial anatomy. Also, it allows for natural repositioning of the cheeks, which thereby vertically elevates the jaw line and the nasal-labial folds (creases alongside of the nose and mouth). The coincidental effect is that the “square-aged face” is naturally transformed into an “oval, more youthful” face with cheeks now as wide as they were when we were younger. Also, by avoiding the incision below the chin and attempting to lift the deep neck tissues vertically from the side only, one can avoid the overdone “hatchet-in-the-neck” look and the telltale scar depression under the chin. Lastly, when augmenting other deflated areas of the face with fat after face-lifting, a more youthful appearance and healthier skin is maximized. The fat grafting will often require two or sometimes three in-office procedures whereby fat is suctioned from one part of the body and injected into specific “deflated” areas of the face. By using this technique over the last 20-plus years, I have been able to achieve a most natural, more-youthful-patient appearance by restoring a more “oval face” from an aged “square face.” In my opinion, this subperiosteal technique requires a significant time investment in learning but allows for a safer surgery with much more natural, youthful outcomes and, when combined with the apparent stem cell effect of fat augmentation to the deflated areas, the overlying skin seems to be improved in quality as well. Combining these procedures provides a long-lasting improvement in facial and neck contour. tws

BATTLE OF THE BLADES, from page 1 For this week, however, Guddat and Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus is on the Battle of the Blades, which raised money to provide $7.50an-hour skate lessons for nearly a hundred children from 4 years of age to 14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some ways, Battle of the Blades is not as stressful as the other coaching we do,â&#x20AC;? Guddat said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The skaters are going to do what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; they have no illusions of skating in the Olympics some day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there are only four real elementsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a crossover, one-foot glide, side-by-side jump and some type of spinning feature that they have to learn. A lot of score is based on the applause meterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the more noise, the better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as much about their connection with the crowd, their costumes, their storyline as anything else.â&#x20AC;? The reward for Guddat and Allen is seeing the faces light up on the skaters theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with, just as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen so many times with everyone from tiny tots in the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club to some of
skatingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest stars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cortney, for instance, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she could do this,â&#x20AC;? said Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I spent a few hours with her and you shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen her face light up. She was a changed woman.â&#x20AC;?
Meet the Contestants

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, Is common courtesy a thing of the past? I went to look at a truck I found in the classifieds. As I test drove it with the owner, we noticed that the low fuel light came on so we pulled into a gas station. He filled up the tank, which cost him almost $85. I thought it was a very nice thing to do since he was selling the vehicle. After the test drive, I bought the truck without even negotiating the price, since he just filled up the tank. However, when I came to pick it up just 48 hours later, the tank was almost empty. The mileage didn't increase that much so I'm guessing he siphoned the gas out! Isn't it common courtesy to sell a car with a full tank of gas? I took the truck anyway, but now I'm wondering if I should have spoken up about it.
â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Cash: Today, gas is an expensive subject. Most people can't tell you the price per gallon of milk or orange juice, but they know the price of gasoline around town. Carry: Some local newspapers and radio stations have started helping consumers by listing the gas stations with the lowest prices.
Fast Facts Calculating MPG
Duane â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cashâ&#x20AC;? Holze & Todd â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carryâ&#x20AC;? Holze 09/02/12 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ
Cash: While it may be nice to
buy a car with a full tank of gas, it certainly is not a requirement. In fact, considering the recent prices, it's probably a rarity. Carry: For many people selling a car is already a financial loss due to depreciation. Although they may be happy to see the car go, they'll probably still try to save a few dollars by using up the gasoline before it's sold. Cash: Anytime you buy a vehicle, remember that you're buying the miles left in the car, not the gas in the tank. You should avoid basing your negotiations on the gasoline level.
Carry: Although as a kid, I
remember owning a few clunkers that doubled in value every time I filled up the tank! Cash: Now since you did take the full tank of gas into account in your offer, you should have let the seller know that it was part of the bargain. At minimum you should have mentioned it when you picked up the truck so the two of you could have worked it out then. That way if the seller seemed dishonest, you still could have walked away from the deal. Carry: On the bright side, at least he left you enough gas to drive it home!
Have you ever wondered how manufacturers calculate the "around town" and "highway" miles per gallon that they advertise? The ratings are actually derived in a laboratory. The drive wheels of a vehicle are placed on a machine called a dynamometer that simulates driving on a road, much like an exercise bike simulates cycling. Then, a professional driver runs the vehicle through standard procedures mimicking typical city and highway driving. The amount of carbon in the exhaust is measured to determine the mileage ratings.
Driving Costs
Since most of us don't track how much we spend in gasoline each year, it may be surprising to learn that the average household spends 8% of their annual income, before taxes, on gasoline for their cars. Depending on where you live or work, that amount could be even more. Those living in urban areas can expect an average of $3,500/year or more. Those living in more rural areas should expect to pay even more. That's enough to make you want to ride a bicycle! â&#x20AC;˘

Reader Humor Expensive Dating
Every now and then I get together with my best friend to discuss our latest dates. At our last dinner she was telling me about a guy she just met. On their first date he took her to the park so they could watch the sunset. On the second date they went to the movies, but he suggested they go "Dutch". "That's when I started thinking he was a little cheap," she explained. "But I thought I'd give him another chance. On the third date he called me up and said he just bought a new car. To celebrate he was going to pick me up and take me somewhere expensive." "That sounds promising," I said. "Where did he take you?" To her dismay, she replied, "The gas station!" (Thanks to Marie A.)
