Jazz Festival Kicks Off With Free Concert BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
he 24th annual Sun Valley Jazz Festival will kick off on Tuesday with a free community concert sponsored by Atkinsons’ Market at the Sun Valley indoor ice rink. Meschiya Lake & Dem Lil’ Big Horns will be the featured performers for the concert, which starts at 7 p.m. The Wood River High School Dixie Band will be the warm-up act. Meschiya Lake & Dem Lil’ Big Horns first appeared at the Sun Valley Jazz Festival a few years ago; their high-energy brand of New Orleans-style jazz became a hot ticket immediately. Lake was honored Best Female Performer at the 2011 Big Easy Music Awards. This year’s jazz festival will feature 40 bands with performances by more than 200 musicians from Wednesday, Oct. 16, through Sunday, Oct. 20, at several venues around Sun Valley. New this year: The Red Skunk Jipzee Swing Band, which draws its inspiration from Django Reinhardt, ’30s European Jazz and American roots music. Also, Lisa Kelly & the J.B. Scott Sextet, a Florida group that performs American Songbook classics and New Orleans trad. Celebrate America Show Corporation will also present “In the Miller Mood,” a swinging musical show that captures the sound of Glen Miller and the Big Band era. It features the Stardust Singers, Stardust Dancers and the Larry Smith Orchestra. Those who want to cut the rug themselves can do so at free dance classes. In addition to the free concert on Tuesday night, the Wood River High Dixie Band will also present a free performance at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, in the Sun Room of the Sun Valley Lodge. The Borah High School band and choir will perform a free concert at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, in the Sun Room. Next Generation, a concert featuring high school choirs, the Yale Whiffinpoofs and Bill, Shelley & Westy, will perform a free concert at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn. And the Mountain View High Jazz Choir will present a free concert at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Sun Room. Information: sunvalleyjazz.com tws
un Valley sheep paved the road to fortune for Felix Gonzalez and his family. But his father, who left Spain in 1955 in order to provide his family back home with better food and clothing, was a reluctant sheepherder. “He did it because of us. And he was proud to become an American citizen,” said Gonzalez. “My dad, he didn’t like the sheep, though. Half of the band would go on one side of the mountain and the other half on the other side and he was afraid he would lose them. He herded sheep for just two years, then he worked at a ranch west of Shoshone before moving to Sun Valley.” Gonzalez, his mother and his brother and sister eventually followed his father to Sun Valley. But they retained many of their traditions, including the paella and flan that his mother Olalla cooked every Sunday. Gonzalez has shared many of the recipes his mother taught him over 40-plus years of working as a chef in the Sun Valley area. And on Friday he’ll share more in one of a handful of cooking classes offered by the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. “All Basque families love to eat—love to eat and drink wine—it’s our heritage,” he said. “My mother was a very, very, very good cook. Most of the great chefs in Europe come from the Basque country. Right now the Basque country has more Michelin cooks than any other country.” Gonzalez’s family experienced a hardscrabble life under the dictator Francisco Franco. His father, who fought for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, had to hide out in France for two years as Franco’s troops hunted down rebels. Everything was censored. Gonzalez’s father worked eight to 10 hours a day, supervising dairy workers, and then cut hay by hand to earn a few more “potatas,” as Gonzalez calls them. Families had a sheep, goat and pig, which they fed with potato peelings and slaughtered for sausage and hams. They ate mutton—lamb was reserved for rich people. His mother canned food in old wine bottles, covering the food with olive oil so air didn’t get in and topping them with a piece of paper tied tight with string. In winter, his mother brought the chickens into the kitchen to keep them warm. And Gonzalez dressed in bed because the alternative was too cold. “If you found a horseshoe, you would pick it up because you could resell it to

the recycling guys. It was hard but people were closer to each other because it was hard times. They helped one another,” Gonzalez recalled. “My father never talked about the war or Francisco Franco. But my mother called Franco every dirty word in the dictionary—she hated him. He lightened up only when the United States built bases in Spain.” The Valley of the Sun Looking for a better life, Gonzalez’s

Green Choices In Solid Flooring
C Steve Dondero Shares Amazing Photos at Exhibition Page 7
laims about “green” flooring are rampant and the consumer must be diligent to make the best choices. Last week’s ERCbeat covered green carpeting standards, but should you decide to have a non-carpeted floor, consider flooring made of sustainably grown or harvested materials, such as cork or certified hardwoods. Reclaimed lumber is also an excellent wood flooring option. Local businesses IGL Recycled Timbers and the Building Material Thrift Store sell salvage from construction and renovation projects. Check the Building Material Reuse Association’s website (bmra. org) for a store directory or try online marketplaces such as PlanetReuse.com and AmericanBuilderSurplus.com. If you decide to tile your floor, remember to use low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds, which impact indoor air quality) adhesives and
sealants, and consider using tiles made of recycled content. Look for a well-known certification such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) that wood is sustainably harvested. Avoid flooring coated or sealed with formaldehyde-based chemicals, which emit VOCs, or polyurethane, which contains diisocyanates that cause or aggravate asthma. A long shipping distance reduces the environmental attributes of flooring due to fuel use from transporting this heavy material, so weigh that into your decision. Consider maintenance issues when selecting your flooring materials, and avoid options that require frequent maintenance or harsh chemicals for cleaning or waxing. Your attentiveness when choosing flooring will pay off in your family’s health and comfort. Next week: bamboo. More Green Living tips at ercsv.org. tws

Damaged Items Are Useful
W
ould you recycle a whole sheet of used paper? What about a small scrap of paper? Would you recycle a used soda bottle? What about a dented, dirty aluminum can? A recent story on NPR cited a study by Boston University Professor Remi Trudel that looked at an alarming fact: The less useful one perceives an item to be, the less likely they are to recycle it. This may come from the idea that “useful things go in the recycling bin, and useLESS things go in the trash.” And we perceive damaged items as useless. This same story cited a figure by the Environmental Protection Agency estimating that paper made up 28 percent of waste in 2011. A great deal of that product could have been perceived as “useless” and was thrown in with the trash to the landfill, as opposed to recycling.
Blaine County does accept small scraps of paper, crushed cans, and torn pieces of cardboard. These items may not appear to have value to a consumer, but they are very valuable at the Ohio Gulch Recovery Center. Before automatically tossing something in the garbage, take a second look to see if it belongs in mixed paper, plastics #1-5, aluminum/tin, or cardboard. Or do what one of our co-workers did— move the garbage can to the other side of the room and your recycle bins closer to where you spend most of your time! This will make it easier to recycle— and an effort to get up to throw something in the garbage. Check out 5brecycles.org for a complete list of recyclable items in Blaine County. (This newspaper goes in with mixed paper when you’re done!) tws

Out of Sight, Out of Mind STORY & PHOTO BY BALI SZABO
T
he North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, perhaps the largest oceanic gyre, is an ellipse that covers about 12 million square miles. It stretches offshore of our West Coast to equatorial Malaysia. It is one of five large gyres found in the world’s oceans, which share one unfortunate characteristic— their trapping currents collect discarded nonbiodegradeable plastic garbage at an alarming rate. The jetsam doubles in size every decade. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a ‘small’ part of this gyre—a belt of debris that stretches along 30 degrees North latitude. Present estimates say it’s twice the size of Texas, or about 540 square miles. The Patch consists of two sub-gyres (Eastern and Western), each the size of Texas. The estimated weight of all the plastic is 10 million tons and grows at a rate of 10,000 tons per year. The lion’s share comes from the Pacific Rim, though there are other contributors. The world pumps out 300 million tons of synthetic polymers per year, 60 percent of which floats. A third of that output is discarded within a day. Twenty-five billion pounds per year are unaccounted for. There is no shortage of supply. None of this was known until 1995, and then it was largely due to three notorious ocean cargo spills—in 1990, 1992, and one in 1993. (Container ships spill 6.4 million tons of ‘stuff’ every year). The first one spilled a shipment of Nike sneakers; the second, a load of about 30,000 Floatees (yellow rubber ducks and other bath toys); and the third, more Nike sneakers off the Mendocino coast. For scientists, this was a great way to study ocean currents. Beachcombers of the Pacific Northwest had a field day, and some had the presence of mind to call Jim Ingraham and Curtis Ebbesmeyer, researchers at the University of Washington. A couple of years later they began to smell a rat. In 1995 Ingraham published a paper in Hawaii, trying to alert scientists to the accumulation of plastics from spills and dumping
in oceanic sub-gyres. He called it the Garbage Patch, and the name stuck. The breakthrough came in 1997. Sailor and researcher Charles Moore participated and placed third in the Transpacific Yacht Race. His boat, the Alguita, was a 25-ton, aluminum-hulled catamaran that also doubled as a research vessel for the Alguita Marine Research Foundation in Long Beach, Calif. Moore decided to take a shortcut (been there, done that) through the gyre, an area sailors avoid because the winds ebb to less than 10 knots. Moore had twin diesels, so he wasn’t worried about getting caught in the ‘doldrums.’ It took him a week to slog through a progressively thicker plastic soup, which presented problems for his propellers. He started to see a few pieces of floating plastic that soon stretched from horizon to horizon. He leaned over the side to scoop up some of the water, which was yellow-brown and full of microplastics. Ever since, he’s called the Patch ‘a swirling toxic plastic cesspool, a fetid swamp of debris.’ In 1998 he took Ingraham and Ebbesmeyer along for a second look at what he considers dangerous waters. Since then, the three have become experts in garbage-accumulating subgyres. The entire 10 million square miles of the North Pacific Gyre is full of plastic, in various concentrations. By the time the discarded plastic makes its way to the Patch, poisoning the ocean as it goes, it will have degraded into microplastics, a colorful granola of broken bits, which continues to degrade into silt and even down to molecular size. Looks mighty pretty on a beach, from a distance. Even at a molecular size, it remains plastic, and it becomes more toxic as it absorbs PCBs and DDT, and it never sinks. The sea may look turquoise-blue from space, or even from the deck of an ocean liner, but that’s really the color of the sky. Moore says the world’s oceans all share these characteristics. The Patch is just a conspicuous example that surrounds the entire Hawaiian archipelago. tws

Gallery Walk Features White Bark Pine Sculpture BY KAREN BOSSICK
K
en Newman’s “Precipitous Drop” is hard to miss in Jennifer Bellinger’s Gallery on 4th Street near Atkinsons’ Market in Ketchum. The sculpture, carved from a single 150-pound chunk of white bark pine Newman found in Wyoming, features a coyote chasing two chukar off a cliff. Newman, of Cambridge, Idaho, says it’s his interpretation of man’s meddling in nature. “If not for man, would the coyote and chukar have ever crossed paths? In the rocky and arid West, the adopted chukar has flourished while the coyote is the poster child for adaptation. For now, nature sits atop man’s pinnacle, a geometric mountain of metal from an abandoned combine, whose natural patina so perfectly captures the color of rocky ledges,” Newman said. Art lovers will be able to see this sculpture and one of Newman’s bronzes—a tiny hummingbird—Friday night when Ketchum galleries throw open their doors for a Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. The walk will feature refreshments and, in some cases, a chance to visit with the artists. Newman, for instance, will give a short talk about his work during Gallery Walk. Here are some of the highlights: Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Road, will present Wendel Wirth’s photographs featuring mesmerizing looks at winter on the Camas Prairie and the Caribbean Ocean through the abstracted lenses of her Hasselblad 500cw and Leica M9. Wirth’s work has been selected for the Boise Art Museum Triennial, which will open Nov. 16. Wirth, who has lived in Ketchum since graduating from college in 1988, will be in attendance during Gallery Walk. Hailey artist Diane Dick will display her series of sheep portraits at the new Silvercreek Realty office at Leadville Avenue and Sun Valley Road next to Mountain West Bank. You don’t even have to go inside, as the paintings can be seen from the sidewalk. The Wood River Valley Studio Tour “Mosaic Project” will be unveiled during Gallery Walk at Wood River Fine Arts located in The Courtyard at 360 East Ave. Each of the 8-by-8-inch panels in the mosaic were creat-

ed by a local artist and donated to Wood River Valley Studio Tour, Inc., an Idaho non-profit organization that is staging a tour of 55 artists’ studios Oct. 19 and 20. Individual tiles will be available for sale with proceeds benefitting the organization. You can see the mosaic project through Oct. 20. Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave., will stage its Honoring Our Landscape II exhibition of painting, photography and sculpture. The exhibition features nationally renowned painters Victoria Adams, Divit Cardoza, Theodore Waddell, James Cook, Sheila Gardner, Michael Gregory, Tony Foster, Gregory Stocks, and Allison Stewart; Jack Spencer and Laura McPhee; along with bronze, glass and stone sculptures by Julie Speidel, Rod Kagan and David Secrest, who reinterpret the influence of the history of the landscape of glaciers, mountains and other geological processes. Sculptors Gwynn Murrill, Brad Rude, Jane Rosen and Boaz Vaadia transform material such as stone, bronze and glass into animals both domestic and wild. Their animals and birds-of-prey project grace and solitude. Ed Musante’s small-scale paintings of birds and animals, painted on his signature ‘found cigar boxes,’ are intimate portraits of wildlife, as are Mary Snowden’s meticulously stitched and embroidered farmyard and wild animals. Hung Liu’s mixed-media paintings, Robert McCauley’s oil paintings and Don Nice’s watercolors and oils create narratives

about history, deforestation and ecological issues. Jack Spencer’s ethereal photography, like all the artists in this exhibition, captures the inner essence of animal subjects. Friesen Gallery, 320 First Ave. N., will feature the work of Argentine romanticist Sebastian Spreng, one of the top 10 Latino artists in the United States. Deeply influenced by literature, mythology and classical music, Spreng paints the music, imbuing his landscapes with the heartbreak that surrounds true beauty. His 40-year career includes exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Panamá City, Panamá; Caracas, Venezuela; Dusseldorf, Germany; Tokyo, Japan; Miami and Sarasota, Fla.; and Seattle, Wash.

Ghost Story BY KAREN BOSSICK
I
rish playwright Conor McPherson has a penchant for ghost stories. And the ghost tale of “Shining City” may be the cleverest of all. It revolves around a widower, John Platt, who claims to have seen the ghost of his recently deceased wife. And it won’t do until he’s sought help from his therapist. In his visions, he says, “her mouth is open like she is trying to…” What is she trying to say? Find out for yourself Thursday when the nexStage Theatre kicks off its 2013-2014 playreading series with “Shining City.” The play starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Ketchum theatre. Admission is free and there will be complimentary wine and cookies. The cast features Keith Moore, Scott Creighton, Charlotte Hemmings Baker and Will Hemmings. “Conor McPherson is an outstanding writer and ‘Shining City’ is his finest work to date,” said director Jon Kane, who directed a playreading of McPherson’s “The Weir” last winter. “Our purpose is to do top plays by top playwrights and this play was originally done on London, then Broadway, where it was nominated for two Tony Awards, including ‘Best Play.’ ” Indeed, a reviewer for The New York Times called it “a quiet, haunting and absolutely glorious new play… as close to perfection as contemporary playwriting gets.” “This is Conor McPherson at his very best… absolutely stunning,” said a reviewer for the tws Daily Mail.

n the tremendous new sci-fi flick Gravity we are literally lost in space in a way that the cheesy ’60’s TV show could never have imagined. What we have here is space in all its awesome and destructive power. We also have the power of cinema to move us and take us to worlds unimagined. In other words, to rent this movie on a DVD and pass up seeing it on the big screen is truly criminal and you might as well not watch it at all. That’s mainly because you will be missing the extraordinary vision of its Mexican director, Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban). With a script that he wrote with his son Jonas, its 90-minute running time is masterful in telling its story in this era of totally overblown special-effects movies. It’s also a masterful exercise in filmmaking and one that is sure to garner numerous Oscars at award time and probably one for its star and centerpiece, Sandra Bullock. Of special note is the sound design, which is the best I’ve ever experienced at a movie and just one more of the subtle components that make it a whole. There is no need to give away the plot. All you need to know is that two astronauts are in distress after a Soviet satellite disintegrates and debris makes their ship useless and kills the rest of their crew.

Local Kids Get Rhythm Thanks to Ghana Band STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

yes widened as the 100plus kids in the community room at Pioneer Montessori School watched the man from Ghana rap out a melody on what he called “the talking drum.” “I know that song,” one tousled-haired boy said. “It’s ‘Jingle Bells.’ ” The melody rapped out on the drum’s canvas made an instant connection with the youngsters Monday morning. But, in the course of an hour, their world expanded a little bit as Okaidja and Shokoto played for them intricate rhythms informed by drumming. “We’re from Ghana, but we play a mixture of music from Ghana and the Americas… a lot from South America,” Okaidja told them. The morning of music was provided by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts as part of its mission to take arts into the classroom. The Ghana band will perform a concert on Friday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. And they will round out a full week of visits to area schools with visits to Wood River Middle School today, the Community School and Wood River High School on Thursday, and Bellevue and Woodside elementary schools on Friday. On Monday, the kids from Pioneer Montessori covered their ears as the drums reverberated throughout the small room, setting the stage for two members of the four-member band to dance, alternating a bow with a jump. “When I say, ‘ajo,’ you say ‘amen.’ We don’t have doorbells in Ghana. We say ‘ajo.’ You say ‘amen’—‘c’mon in,’ ” Okaidja added. Okaidja introduced the kids to a variety of instruments from around the world, including a bell they use like a metronome to keep time, a drum fashioned out of a drinking jug, a hollow gourd on which they drum, a Peruvian

drumming box that you can sit on and a curved xylophone made with gourds. “Your modern-day xylophone came from this,” Okaidja told the students. “And we call this the talking drum,” he added, picking up a drum that resembled an elongated conga drum. “Any drum can talk, depending on who’s playing, ” he added. Two of the band members treated the kids to a twirling gourd-dance number done in “Dueling Banjos” fashion. Then the band had the kids and teachers up on their feet swaying as they sang “Ba Ba Ba Bamba.” “We dance barefoot because it’s good to be grounded,” Okaidja said as his own bare feet pranced across the floor.

BEAVER CREEK fire
Dondero Shares Amazing Photos at Exhibition BY KAREN BOSSICK
M
ost people didn’t give it much thought when lightning struck a sagebrush-covered hillside in the vicinity of Beaver Creek and Deer Creek around midnight on Aug. 7. Attention was focused, instead, on the nearby McCan fire, which was racing through farmland near Fairfield, and the massive Pony and Elk Complex fires rampaging across forest land a little farther south. But Ketchum resident Steve Dondero grabbed his camera and took off in search of a picture. And in doing so, he caught a rare glimpse of the Beaver Creek Fire that would eventually force thousands of residents from their homes in Hailey and Ketchum while decimating popular hiking and biking trails and threatening homes in Greenhorn, Deer Creek and Croy canyons. “I went looking for fire and I happened on the road that took me right to the origin of the fire. I got a picture of firefighters coming out of the woods two days into the fire from the Willow Creek side,” said Dondero. “There had been a feeling up
until then that it was going to be just a small fire. But, looking at Google and the trajectory, it was pretty clear it was headed for us.” Dondero is exhibiting a couple of his pictures at the “Share Your Beaver Creek Fire Images” exhibition hosted by the Environmental Resource Center and the Idaho Conservation League during Friday’s Gallery Walk. The photographs may be viewed from 5 to 8 p.m. at the ERC’s office at 471 N. Washington St. in Ketchum. Dondero, vice president of marketing for ESS Eye Safety Systems and director of marketing for Oakley Military, took more than a thousand shots of the Beaver Creek Fire, which was highly accessible to shutterbugs as it danced along the mountain slopes west of Highway 75. He went to Greenhorn Gulch to look at the fire during his lunch break on the afternoon of Aug. 15 and ended up being there when the fire came ripping and roaring up the mountainsides lining Deer Creek canyon. “It was obvious it was about to come over the hill so I ended up being front and center right in
the middle of helicopters circling over and landing in the Golden Eagle pond and C-130s making repeated passes overhead,” said Dondero. Dondero went to a friend’s house at the base of Timber Gulch where he took photos of the house in case something should happen to it. He also trained his camera on the slopes lining Greenhorn Gulch, capturing some of the last photos of it before it burned as he took photos of aircraft flying overhead in the smoke-filled orange sky. Over the course of the Beaver Creek Fire, Dondero took shots from various vantage points, including Hulen Meadows, Dollar Mountain and even Pettit Lake where he captured some beautiful sunset images colored by the Kelley Fire, which started near Baumgartner Campground near Featherville. “As a photographer, it was exciting to be on the battle ground,” he said. “At the same time, I was humbled by the forces of nature at work and concerned for the homeowners who were being affected.” tws

eel like reenacting the Lewis and Clark story with marshmallows? Then the Devo Cross-Country Ski Program is for you. The development team for elementary school-aged children is recruiting youngsters for its upcoming program, which runs from Nov. 1 through mid-March. Kids will kick it off with a trip to the Bruneau Sand Dunes, followed by a few weeks of dryland exercises involving a map and compasses, a scavenger hunt through the sagebrush, and more. When the snow falls, they’ll learn the basics of classic and skate skiing. “It’s an introduction to Nordic skiing for kids. We develop an athletic approach and expose the kids to the concept of what it means to be an athlete. It’s not a hardcore training program, but something that’s designed to be fun,” said head coach Dave Bingham. The program meets twice a week after school. Buses ferry kids from Hemingway and Hailey elementary schools to the meeting place at Lions Park in Hailey. Information: svsef.org or Bingham at 720-1479.

Through Ryason’s Artist Eyes By Jonathan Kane
F
e c i v r e S n w o n t o i e t m c o a H n Satisf w o t e m o H
or Sage School senior Andrew Ryason, life is viewed through an artist’s eye. This talented artist has been expressing himself since as early as he can remember and now finds himself working in a variety of mediums. For those interested in seeing his art, they can take a trip over to the Bigwood4 Cinemas in Hailey and, without buying a ticket, get a sampling of this young man’s impressive work. His solo exhibit runs through the end of October. “I really got serious about art in fourth grade,” Ryason said. “Before that, I always doodled and scribbled and just used it as a pastime. But around seven my mom was picking up a book at Iconoclast Bookstore and I saw this book on anime (Japanese animation). I grabbed three of them and I still have them. I had watched a lot of anime cartoons and I thought, that can’t be too hard, so I drew a few and I still keep them and other kids started asking for them. The thing with me is that I’m never satisfied with what I draw. I always want to do better and that cycle hasn’t stopped.” How does Ryason early work hold up? “My early drawings are pretty terrible but
COURTESY ART: ANDREW RYASON
I feel that with enough practice anyone could do it. People tell me they can’t, but if they applied themselves they could. I tell people that ask to get a notebook and start drawing random drawings and then fill the whole notebook. People then say that’s too hard and pretty much give up. I now have 25 notebooks intact and probably a 1000 drawings.” He added, “The whole thing has been so therapeutic for me. I have mood swings and anxiety and it’s always been an outlet and allowed me to draw my demons. They would end up on the paper and not in me and the result is that I’m a much happier person.” Over the years Ryason has developed his own personal style. “Anime was good for learning how to animate. It allowed me to break the mold and led to different styles. I started studying the old masters like Van Gogh and da Vinci. What was so important about them is that they never stopped in their work and developing. At the end, Van Gogh was painting
three canvases a day! Both of them inspired me because they weren’t following steps like I was doing. It made me want to find my own style. I haven’t found that yet or reached that point but I’m still working on it. It’s interesting because I started so early but it can take a lifetime.” Helping significantly with his growth was his enrollment at The Sage School last year. The education that he is receiving there has had a profound impact on his development. “I absolutely love The Sage School. I can’t wait to get to school in the morning. In the summer all my friends don’t want it to end but I’m totally ready for it to end and I can’t wait to get back to school. I was a paranoid kid at public school even though I had some idols that kept me going. At The Sage School I’ve really found a home because the people are tws so inspiring, kind and helpful.”

Why Cyclocross? By Dave Harrison
C
yclocross is a festival of suffering—dubbed ‘psychocross’ by some. The wetter, the snowier, and the more slippery, the better! The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the cycling governing body for World Cup and world championships, describes the modern cyclocross course this way: “Each circuit should have paved roads, forest and field sections, and obstacles to break the rhythm of the rider. The typical racecourse should be a circuit of a minimum of 2.5km and a maximum of 3.5 km in length. A properly designed course is 80 percent to 90 percent ‘ride-able,’ with as many as four natural or artificial obstacles.” The cyclocross schedule begins early in September in Belgium and finishes late in January or early February with a world championship. The world championships in Belgium in 2011 attracted 60,000 screaming fans. The best professionals amaze fans with smooth dismounts and remounts over a combination of run-ups, stairs, barriers and sandpits. The event is beautiful to watch when properly executed; complete mayhem when done poorly. Australia has rugby, Brazil has soccer, America has football (I prefer baseball), Norway has Nordic skiing and Begium has cyclocross. Belgium also has beer—a lot of beer. For Amer-
Baldy Sports Celebrates Grand Opening
icans who enjoy ski and bike racing, cyclocross seems normal. It is a sport for Americans that enjoy adversity and are drawn to their European ancestry. The sport of cyclocross is all about suffering. Spectating a cyclocross is also about suffering. The first challenge is positioning oneself at the best section, then running to the next sand pit or barrier dismount, all the while not spilling a drop or your special ‘craft’ beer. Cyclocross events signal the onslaught of winter, dressing for extremes and celebrating adversity. There are bonfires, beer gardens and cowbells. ‘Cross fans are a rougher crowd, cheering tougher athletes. If you are like most Americans, stay home in front of your heater, drink your Budweiser, and eat your packaged foodstuff. Stare blankly at your TV and cheer overpaid thugs for a five-second spurt on the field (the actual time a ball is in play, a dismal 11 minutes, during a two-hour NFL broadcast). If you idolize the ‘stars’ of the NFL, you might not fully understand the concept of suffering or cyclocross. Dave knows how to suffer. He is a four-time Leif’s Alpine/Nordic, two-time Ride/Stride/Glide, Lane Parrish Super-G/Moguls, Baldy Double, and Sun Valley All-Mountain winner. Join Dave at Old Cutters Oct. 18-20.

lympic snowboarder Sondra Van Ert and her husband Aaron Blaker celebrated the grand opening of their Baldy Sports new, used and consigned gear shop last Thursday at 312 S. Main St., Hailey. Van Ert maintained that she didn’t open the shop as a way to clean out her garage. Instead, she said, people are becoming more cognizant of the fact that you don’t necessarily need to have brand new gear to have fun, whether you’re looking at skateboards or helmets, which look sparkling new. People are also a little more thrifty due to the recession, said Van Ert, who returned to the Valley four months ago after a spell in Bozeman, Mont., where she had been teaching skiing at the elite Yellowstone Club.

svsef anounces Winter Lift-Off Party The Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation is thrilled to announce their new event, the Winter Lift-Off Party. The Winter Lift-Off will take place Friday, Dec. 6 at two new venues, Sun Valley Company’s Roundhouse and River Run Lodge at the base of Bald Mountain in Ketchum. In the spirit of renewal inspired by the remodeling of the Greyhawk Training Center, the annual Wild Game Dinner will be revamped into the Winter Lift-Off and infused with the energy and anticipation of the SVSEF’s 47th winter season. We have chosen to retire the much-loved geese, and replace them with a winter-themed celebration featuring snowflakes, skis and don’t-stop-till-you-drop dancing. Despite a lack of our feathered friends, favorites from the Wild Game Dinner will still be present, including
mystery balloons, live music, silent and online auctions and all the friends you want to catch up with. The night will begin with an intimate supper at the Roundhouse restaurant for the SVSEF’s Champions of the Foundation, and festivities continue with a party at the base the mountain for all who would like to join in the fun. Through the Winter Lift-Off, the SVSEF hopes to raise one-third of the annual budget necessary to produce the quality on-snow programs the community has come to expect. Through fundraising efforts, the SVSEF provides financial aid for both tuition and travel, academic assistance, training facilities, and racing opportunities. Stay tuned for more information on the SVSEF’s Winter Lift-Off Party, but please save the date for Friday, Dec. 6! More info: Svsef.org

he stars of the show resembled Patsy Cline, June Cleaver, Lucille Ball and Patty Duke in a poodle skirt. And Barry the Hatchet Man expressed a sarcastic tone that made Rush Limbaugh look like Pollyanna. His sarcasm turned out to be well-founded, however—any one of the members of the 1950s TV show, “Make Way for Winky,” could have been a prime suspect when a member of the TV audience ended up murdered on his TV talk show. The mystery didn’t stay on stage, however, as the nexStage Theatre presented its third annual Murder Mystery Dinner fundraiser Saturday night. It was up to the 110 audience members to figure out whodunit based on puzzles regarding Elvis Presley’s hit songs, movies of the Fifties and other clues. “I went to the first murder mystery they had and the clues were real tough. But it was so much fun,” said Doran Key as she began sorting through the night’s brainteasers. Rabbit ears served as dinner table centerpieces (kids: ask your grandparents if you don’t know what these are) as diners ate a dinner catered by The Sawtooth Club. As the actors and actresses mingled with the crowd, Claudia McCain dropped clues about her notebook, which the audience would learn later contained fodder for a tell-all book on her TV family. More clues came onstage in a script liberally sprinkled with references to Twin Falls and Pocatello. “Barry’s been through some tough times lately, but he’s out of the hospital and doing well,” said show hostess Patsy Wygle about the TV talk show host played by Keith Moore. “So you finished school,” Barry the Hatchet Man delivered a barb to the child star played by Hollie Ann Hatch. “I’m glad to hear that. Some people don’t go from being a star to nothing overnight very well.” The rest of the cast included Levie Smith as the sitcom-mom-turned-psychologist who had just published an in-depth psychological study of “Kim Kardashian: Fake or Fiction?” Others included sitcom dad Doug Neff, who was now the

most famous politician-actor in the country after Arnold Schwarzenegger; Cathy Reinheimer as a Hooters, Neb., mother of nine who had formed Women Against Dirt (WAD)—a national group committed to saving this country from its moral cesspool; and Claudia McCain as a sitcom-star-turned-Nashvillesinger. When the murder turned up the flames on the smoldering bickering onstage, Barry abruptly metamorphosed into Nick Hardy, detective. “Dames: Sometimes you want to wrap them up in cellophane and tie a big bow around them and take them to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Other times you want to back up over them on the driveway,” he growled. “Barry’s been under a lot of stress lately. It expresses itself with …. discombobulation,” the psychologist hastened to explain. The murder sent the cast into a tizzy. “Someone’s trying to assassinate me. After all, I’m the one who called them out on trying to poison us with heavy metal music,” exclaimed the woman from Hooters. “I liked it. It was funny, said teenager Nick Smith, who made a brief appearance onstage as a member of the audience. “Whoever wrote the script did a great job.

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR OCT. 9 FROM PICABO ANGLER
C
old, crisp, calm, fall days have set in on Silver Creek. The Fall Baetis hatches are blanketing the water shortly after lunch time. The Mahogany Duns are mixing in to this blend and driving the fish crazy with each short appearance. There may not be a better time in the Silver Creek Valley. The days are filled with Moose sightings, and huge Brown Trout moving up the river to spawn. The sunsets are seemingly having a competition with the sunrises for best event of the day. Anglers are finding joy as the season winds down with each cast and presentation that ends with trout heads breaking the surface to inhale their offerings. With conditions being what they are on surrounding rivers, Silver Creek is a bit busier than normal due to other local rivers not fishing, couple that with the pond project that is underway and one can easily deduce that it is not a normal fall for fishing. This is not to say we are under duress, it is just a cycle that we anglers are a part of and should accept as added challenge to a sport full of a variety of challenges. If anglers will choose to be kind to one another, communicate well and even help their brothers and sisters of the long rod, then we can all count of joyous days in the field! Another great place to find a connection to trout and the wilds of Idaho is the Lost River. The Lost below Mackay Reservoir continues to fish well. Baetis and Nymphing with small red bugs will take fish until the first real snows begin to fly around here. The Baetis are showing after the day warms up a bit and it is not a bad idea to have a few different sized form 16 down to a 20. If the hatch doesn’t come off, try Nymphing with Red Zebra Midges, San Juan Worms, Red Copper Johns or any of your favorite nymph patterns. If you want more challenge than fishing with an indicator, the Lost is an excellent place to sight nymph large Rainbows sitting in shallow water. If you want to try this, the key is to move VERY slowly up the river. Have good polarized glasses and look into the shallows for trout moving side to side taking nymphs. It is an incredible fun and rewarding way to fish, especially when there is no surface activity!

10th Annual Crosstoberfest in Hailey, Oct. 18-19
In the eyes of many, it’s nothing shy of a match made in heaven: bicycle racing meets beer, they fall in love and decide to throw a party. The annual Idaho Crosstoberfest is just such a celebration. Combining two days of cyclocross races with COURTESY PHOTO: TAL ROBERTS a craft beer festival, Crosstoberfest—as it’s simply called in the Gem State—will be celebrating its 10th year this Oct. 18-19. While cyclocross racing has been popular in Europe for over 60 years, the sport is essentially just catching on here in the States—but it’s doing so swiftly. Cyclocross is America’s fastest growing cycle-sport. This fun twist on traditional bicycle racing has its roots in places like Belgium and The Netherlands, so it’s only fitting that handcrafted beer would get wedded into things. Crosstoberfest Idaho was the brainchild of Billy Olson, a former professional road bike racer and owner of what is considered to be one of the best—and perhaps only—bike repair shop/beer geek haven/burger bars in the nation, according to sources like Outside and Bike magazines, the Powerhouse Pub & Bike Studio. “This event is just a lot of fun,” Olson said about the truly grassroots event that has been steadily growing since its inception. Both the pub and Crosstoberfest are located in Hailey, about a dozen miles south of America’s original destination ski resort of Sun Valley. Hundreds of riders, racing fans and beer lovers are expected to attend this year’s Idaho Crosstoberfest, which features races for just about every age category and almost 75 different beers from more than 20 breweries from across the globe. Live music and locally grown and raised Bavarian-style food is also on the lineup. Even if combining bicycle racing and a beer fest seems like an odd marriage to some folks, no one can debate that it sure makes for one heck of a party.

he pompous phonetics professor wagered he could make the vulgar flower girl with that dreadful Cockney accent presentable to high society by teaching her proper English. What he didn’t wager on was that he would fall in love with this woman whom he had described as “so deliciously low, so horribly dirty.” St. Thomas Playhouse will present the familiar musical “My Fair Lady” Thursday, Oct. 17, through Sunday, Oct. 20, at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The Friday performance—a Gala Benefit for the Bilkey Scholarship Fund—will include a lavish array of English foods such as beef Wellington, strawberry tarts and other desserts and libations. The benefit will raise tuition for children and teens who attend St. Thomas Playhouse’s performing arts camps and programs. “I’m very interested in the idea of transformation and here you see Eliza Doolittle go from a flower seller to a well-dressed, refined lady,” said Director R.L. Rowsey. “On another level, this person who didn’t understand her self-worth in the beginning finds a way to understand that she has a valuable role to play.” Described as “the perfect musical,” the 1956 Broadway production of “My Fair Lady” set records for what was then the longest running musical in history. “It’s set in a time when class structure was pretty powerful. There was the idea that you had to climb up to a certain level to be happy. But, at the same time, you find that there are street people in this play who dream of having their own home but still manage to be happy,” Rowsey said. Rowsey saw an out-of-the-box presentation of “My Fair Lady” at Ashland, Ore., last summer. In it, the orchestra was positioned right in the middle of the stage and Eliza climbed aboard the piano to go to sleep, turning a page for the pianist as she did. While he’s not copying that production, it did inspire him to present St. Thomas’ version of “My Fair Lady” in a slightly different light. This one will be seen through the eyes of a little girl whose ambivalent feelings about herself embrace a more positive outlook as she begins reading a book that was given to her. “One of my favorite statements of Eliza Doolittle’s is: ‘I’m a good girl, I am,’ ” said Melodie Taylor Mauldin, who portrays Eliza. “That’s the kind of message this little girl gets.” This production features 50 people, including the chorus. High school orchestra leader Rebecca Martin will conduct the orchestra, which will include pianist Dorinda Rendahl and members of the Wood River High
Melodie Taylor Mauldin stars as a poor Cockney flower girl who wants to have a respectable job selling flowers in a shop, rather than on a street corner. Andrew Alburger is the snobby, highfalutin professor who can get her there in “My Fair Lady,” an unmistakable story of transformation. COURTESY Photo: Heather Black
School honors orchestra. Melodie Mauldin, who stars as Eliza Doolittle opposite Andrew Alburger’s Professor Henry Higgins, has been making a fivehour drive from her new home in Salt Lake City where she, her husband John and their two sons recently settled. “I jumped at the chance to get to work with this group—they’re so special. There’s so much love and so much community in this group. It’s not about artistic perfection but kindness and the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to create. And, of course, R.L. is so inspirational and fun and caring—and I needed that at this time of my life,” she said. Plus, Eliza Doolittle is a role she’s coveted forever. “The play has me thinking about people and the boxes we put them in and the labels we give them. It’s so easy to say, ‘No, you can’t do that.’ Eliza’s not doing what she’s doing so she can wear nice clothes and all. She’s doing what she’s doing because she has goals,” Mauldin added. That is most pointedly seen where Doolittle marches into a gentleman’s studio and says, “I want you to teach me,” noted Cherie Kessler, who heads up St. Thomas Playhouse. “That’s a gigantic risk in that day and age. I love that about her,” said Kessler. The play has a full musical plate which Rowsey likens to “meat and potatoes and Brussels sprouts, besides” with such numbers as “The Rain in Spain,” “With a Little Bit of Luck,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live” and “Get Me to the Church On Time.” In addition to the “noble” roles of the stars, Page Klune displays a memorable haughtiness as Henry Higgins’ mother. Steve d’Smith resembles a naughty school boy as he plays off Higgins. And Karen Nelsen’s role as a housekeeper is so perfectly dry you can’t help but crack up.

I COURTESY ART
Pretty Lights Shines BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI-FM/KYZK-FM
W
hen I got into electronic music in the early nineties, I had no love for four-on-the-floor house music and found an affection for downbeat, ambient music and acid jazz. I was, and still am, more attracted to groups like The Orb, Fila Brazilia, Nightmares On Wax, The Chemical Brothers and Aphex Twin. I wandered away from EDM, but have rejoined the fold; I’ve found a new hero and his name is Derek Vincent Smith but he goes under the name Pretty Lights. On his first new release in over three years, A Color Map of the Sun, Smith digs a deep, funky groove using live musicians and then pressing the sessions on to vinyl and sampling them. The sound is organic and groove-laden; it’s dance music for those who look for the groove but don’t need it handed to them piecemeal. Pretty Lights enlisted players from The Preservation Jazz Band, Soulive, The Harlem Gospel Choir and The Treme Brass Band to create a neo-vintage sound that urges, not screams for, the listener to get up on the dance floor. Gut-bucket funk basslines, sampled horns and soulful vocals supplied by Yolanda Hagins, Lionel Batiste and Shakira Jones provide the paint that Smith uses to create his sonic mural. He creates his art sparingly, and nothing is overdone to the point of distraction. The groove is laid down and the parts are put together seamlessly around it. A Color Map of the Sun is art that tws you can dance to. Dig it.
THE HOT LIST
• Snow on the mountaintops • Red and yellow leaves brightening up the trees • The last few warm days of fall By Lara Spencer, owner of The Dollhouse Consignment Boutique in Hailey www.
DollhouseConsignment.com
was walking down the bike path last Sunday when I suddenly encountered a rather large black sheep grazing on the grass beside a poster announcing The Trailing of the Sheep Festival to be held this week. I assumed it was getting ready for the parade next Sunday and marveled at the rich black wool it had grown over the winter. Right away, I thought that wool would make for some mighty fine sweaters for Christmas gifts this year. I approached the beast and in its own tongue said: “Baa, baa, black sheep. Have you any wool?” “Yes, sir, yes, sir – three bags full.” “Good, because, I would like to pur-” “One for my master, one for the dame and one for the little girl that lives down the lane.” “Are you telling me that you have none for sale?” “No, I don’t. They’ve all been designated for assignment.” “Wait a minute. This is 2013. You don’t have to pay your master.” “Oh, really? Where would I live, then? Don’t you have a mortgage or pay rent?” “Well, yeah. “Well, duh, so do I. I have to pay the master.” “Oh well, what about the bushel to the dame? “Have you seen that dame? She’s smokin’!” “Oh, I see. You don’t have to.
You just want to?” “Correct. It’s not a matter of need; rather, a matter of I want to.” “Yeah? Well, what about the little trust funder who lives down at the Lane Ranch?” “Hey, it’s not like that! I’ve watched that little kid grow up and wave to me every October for the past few years. It’s kind of what really keeps me going year after year.” “Oh, I get it. She represents what your life is all about.” “Right. It’s not a ‘need’ or a ‘want.’ It’s just what makes me happy. If you don’t have that in your life, well, then, what’s the point?” “I think I see your point. So, no, you have no extra wool?” “No, sir, no, sir, all my bag orders are full.” “Well, then, where can I get some wool? It seems like everything is shutting down.” “Tell me about it. It’s hard to be in the sheep business nowadays. I can’t seem to get a break. The whole industry is in danger. Wait, have you tried Mary? She has a little lamb with fleece as white as snow. You know, everywhere that Mary…” “I know, I know, the lamb is probably with her. But what if she won’t sell me any?” “Well, you can always write your congressman.” “Congress has shut down.” “Well, now you know how I feel.” “Nice talking to you.” tws

Films Donated to Community Library Peggy Elliott Goldwyn and Stephanie Freid-Perenchio have donated films from the 2013 Family of Woman Film Festival to The Community Library in Ketchum. They include the Academy Award nominees “The Invisible War” and “War Witch”; the Toronto Film Festival winner “The World Before Her”; and Human Rights winners “Words of Witness” and “Weapon of War.”
Planning for the 2014 festival, which will be held March 7-9, is already underway. It will include a film titled “Solar Mama,” about an illiterate Bedouin woman who learns to make and maintain solar panels at Barefoot University in India, and “Bay of All Saints,” about women who organize to keep their way of life living in a stilt city on the water.
Center for the Arts Offers New Membership Levels With Enhanced Benefits The Sun Valley Center for the Arts is pleased to introduce new membership levels with enhanced benefits. Both new members and renewing members are eligible to enjoy these exciting opportunities. Earlier this year The Center merged with the Hailey-based Company of Fools Theatre Company, which not only expands the reach and programming possibilities of each organization, but also allows The Center to add to its already generous member benefits. Various levels of membership and benefits begin with the $50 Individual level and extend through the Guardian levels, modeled after the Company of Fools program. “When The Center merged with Company of Fools, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to revisit our membership program,” said Kathryn McNeal, Director of Development. “We put our heads together to come up with the best we had to offer—to
honor our members’ generosity and keep them connected to all that The Center makes available.” Membership still provides benefits like first access to Center events and discounts on tickets and classes but now includes newly added ways for you to be even more connected to and involved in our programming. For example, we added a Program Directors’ newsletter, starting at the individual level, and more opportunities for intimate arts experience at the Guardian levels, such as private exhibition tours with our curators. With a full event and performance schedule this fall and winter, members—new and renewing—can make the most of their involvement with The Center. To become a new member of The Center or to renew your current or lapsed membership, go to www.sunvalleycenter.org and find membership information under the “Get Involved” tab or call 208.726.9491.

Self-Healing is Within You BY JESSICA KISIEL
D
o you believe you can heal yourself? We hear this phrase often, and there are numerous books written on the subject, but is it true? How do you feel when you hear someone say you can heal yourself? Is your first reaction denial – no, I can’t - or do you feel empowered to take care of yourself - yes, I can make myself better. Knowing where you stand is an important awareness that may be impacting your ability to recover. If you don’t believe you can heal yourself naturally, you probably won’t improve without external procedures or medications. I can appreciate people’s hesitancy in accepting these words, “You can heal yourself.” There are certainly circumstances in which we cannot heal ourselves. In cases of severe, acute musculoskeletal injuries—a broken bone, ruptured ligament or dislocated joint—a medical expert is absolutely needed. However, I work with chronic, soft-tissue pain—longtime injuries that linger and have not responded to other treatments. In these instances, I do believe we can heal ourselves. The human body has an incredible capacity to rejuvenate when given the right stimulus. Yet, when we hurt, we become scared and look outside ourselves for healing, going to one medical person or alternative provider

O
n a recent Saturday in Boise, people joined together to walk on behalf of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Wood River Valley and Boise. The event, NAMIWalks, was put on to increase awareness of mental illness — that it can affect anyone, anytime and anywhere. Six people from the Wood River Valley walked for NAMI-WRV. Those participants included Marguerite Gail Miller Wray, Carla Young, Leslie Treshow, Tamra Thrall, Rachel Cooper and Jeff Cooper. All the funds raised by walkers under the NAMI-WRV team were shared 50/50 between NAMI-Boise and NAMI-WRV to fund programs including support, education, research and advocacy involving mental disorders.

Beaver Creek Firefighter Beneficiary of Wildland Firefighter Foundation Funds
GriefShare Program

T
he family of a firefighter who fought the Beaver Creek Fire will be the beneficiary of money and assistance from the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. The fund assists families who have lost a firefighter to death or disability. Mark Urban, a member of Division Tango on the Beaver Creek Fire, died in a parachuting accident on Friday, Sept. 28, while testing new equipment during a training exercise near the southern Idaho town of Prairie. Urban, who lived in Boise, was a 10-year veteran smokejumper with more than 300 jumps since 2003 when he joined the Great Basin Smokejumpers. He was a well-liked member of his crew. The Wildland Firefighter Foundation participated in the funeral procession and memorial service, which took place Oct. 4. Wood River Valley residents and businesses have contributed nearly $90,000 to the Firefighter Fund since the Beaver Creek Fire. The non-profit foundation, based in Boise, has been kept busy this year with 33 wildland firefighters dying while on duty. All told, 81 U.S. firefighter fatalities have been reported in 2013. tws

F
or the baking of this gorgeous fall dish, I used two of Ketchum Kitchen’s Emile Henry Classiques colorful and very high-quality lasagna baking dishes, which, honestly, do everything you want such a dish to do. The cost is $79.99 for each and be sure to say that Margot and The Weekly SUN sent you. This recipe can be a bit time consuming because of the slicing and chopping and keeping some ingredients separate, but, honestly, it’s worth the effort; best of all, it’s a healthy as well as a visibly glorious-looking fall dish. It can also be made into other food offerings. Lastly, you can substitute the mentioned ingredients for seasonal ones (I’ve indicated what I feel are “musts”). For instance, I just made this without the zucchinis and eggplant and used shredded red cabbage and strictly red bell peppers. This dish actually becomes tastier after having set for a day or two so it’s perfect for leftovers. If this dish doesn’t deplete fast enough for your desire, next week I will be offering additional tasty recipes that you can make from the leftovers. What more can you ask for from one recipe!!!!!!
Mélange of Oven-Baked Vegetables with Fresh Basil Serves 4-6 as a main dish or 8 as a side dish Ingredients: 10 garlic cloves (a must, unless you hate garlic) 2 large onions, thinly sliced, or 4 smaller ones (a must) 2 lbs. of zucchini; I cut them lengthwise in quarters and then slice them 2 large eggplant (about 2 lbs. total), sliced 1/2-inch thick and salted (you can leave the skin on, and if you have time, salt them liberally, put them in a colander and let them drain for 1/2 hour

(a MUST!!!) 1 C. flat-leaf parsley, chopped fine (can be the regular kind) 1 1/2 tsp. salt and some ground pepper to taste 1/2 C. to 1 C. olive oil (a MUST) Extra fresh herbs and grated Parmesan for garnish (you can also use Monterey Jack, etc., if you wish, or no cheese is OK as well.) Directions: Preheat oven to 350°. Peel garlic and cut in half. (Hints for easy peeling: drop in boiling water; leave it there for 30 seconds, remove and peel. Or toast in dry skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently for 3-4
minutes.) In a casserole, make two layers of the following and it’s best to use the order listed below: Onion Eggplant Peppers Tomatoes Zucchini Parsley Basil or herbs Salt Pepper Garlic cloves Drizzle the mélange with olive oil and place in oven.

Sun Valley Harves Fest Chef’s Offer Tricks and Tips BY KAREN BOSSICK Here’s a few tips taking from the cornucopia of tips chefs served up at the recent Sun Valley Harvest Festival. Throw out spices that have expired. Not only do they lose their potency but they lose their antioxidant value, as well. –Tina Ruggiero, author of “The Truly Healthy Family Cookbook” Store orange juice in glass and it loses its nutritional value. My husband says, ‘Why do you shop everyday?” It’s because I want the most nutrition I can get in my food. —Tina Ruggiero Cook with chocolate as if you’re cooking with wine. Use shitty wine
and what you cook is going to taste shitty. American chocolate is getting better as more companies use European techniques. Look to Stow Chocolate and some varieties of Guittard and Fair Trade chocolates for quality. —Malika Ameen, a contestant on Bravo’s new “Top Chef: Just Desserts” You can add a nice sheen to your finished product by adding eggs while the melted chocolate is still warm. — Malika Ameen Massage orange zest into sugar. As sugar turned a golden color, the zest releases a magical array of aromatic oils. —Malika Ameen Put salt in a non-stick pan before
you oil it to keep it from sticking. –Tal Ronnen, author of “The Conscious Cook” Cacao is one of nature’s richest sources of magnesium. When you’re stressed, magnesium goes to every cell in the body, turning down the fight or flight response. It also contains a bliss chemical that will improve your mood.—Ashley Koff, dietician who writes for “Prevention” magazine Cooking tomatoes is one of the healthiest things you can do to get Vitamin c during winter. —Ashley Koff Add herbs at the end or else you’ll cook the flavor out before you’ve cooked the sauce down. —Tal Ronen

The coalition will stage another free showing of the film, which premiered last spring, on Tuesday at the Community Campus in Hailey. Liston said she likes the movie because it covers hunger on so many levels—from those living in the city to those living in rural communities. “It makes you wonder what you can do to help,” she said. “And it does a good job of showing the connection between obesity and hunger, which happens when people lack the resources to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.”

TRAILING OF THE SHEEP festival
basque legacy, from page 1 foggy in fall—he never knew if he was on the right path, so he convinced the rancher to let him work on the ranch near Shoshone after two years. He made $120 a month with room and board—that was a lot of money in Spain. He bought a stove for Mother, who had been using a fireplace up until then. And we had better food and clothing,” Gonzalez recalled. America’s quota for Spaniards was just 300 a year. But Gonzalez’s father became an American citizen, expediting the reunion of the family. Gonzalez set foot in America in 1961. “We flew from Madrid to Brussels to New York to Chicago to Boise. We wore nametags because we didn’t speak English,” Felix recalled. “I got really hungry. But, although we had some American money, we didn’t know how to use it.” By that time, Gonzalez’s father had worked his way up from a kitchen dishwasher in the Challenger Inn to a breakfast and lunch cook. “He was always saying how beautiful the Valley of the Sun was. But I had trouble seeing it as we drove north from Shoshone. I thought, ‘There’s nothing but sagebrush. Where is this heaven my Dad talks about?’ ” Gonzalez recalled. Gonzalez found a small but tight-knit community of about 50 Basques here. They got together every Friday to watching boxing on TV. They played lottery games. And they traveled north of town in the summer to take six-packs of beer to herders. He learned English by talking with the locals, reading newspapers and going to the movies. “It was shocking because there was not much in Sun Valley in those days. It was not easy because I didn’t speak English. But I got a job washing dishes at the Inn a month after we arrived. Three months later they put me in the kitchen with Tommy Mallane, of Louie’s Restaurant.” And Felix ate dinner with his parents every night. “Within two years, we paid cash for our house. Immigrants make a country better because we want to live here. We work hard. We make ourselves better,” he said. “It was a different type of society. The Basques were very hardworking people, very good citizens. They were very conservative—you would never see any of them causing any problem. If you gave them a dollar, they

would give you $1.20 in return. And they would never say, ‘No,’ if you asked them for something.” Carving out a legacy in restaurants Over the next 12 years Gonzalez worked in most of Sun Valley Resort’s restaurants, part of that time as a sous chef to Peter Schott. He also worked at 111, 319, The Christiania and as head of Atkinsons’ deli until he opened Felix’s Restaurant in The Knob Hill Inn in 2000. He eventually moved it to his mother’s cabin in downtown Ketchum where Taste of Thai now is. Today, he spends his days golfing, hiking, doing a bit of catering and teaching cooking classes. He also still cooks dinner for his wife Karla and two sons Benjamin and Bud, ages 36 and 34, who still come home for dinner nearly every night. Dinner is today, like yesterday, seasoned with Basque influences like pepper, saffron, basil, rosemary and thyme, many of the recipes taken from books like “Tapas,” which sit on the bookshelves next to volumes of books on “Los Toros,” Hemingway novels and reference books like “Wines of the World.” “I’m one of the longest living locals in this town—not many have been here longer than I,” Gonzalez said proudly. tws

lfalfa farmers have their tractors. Don Helsley’s tool of choice is a 30- to 45-pound border collie. Helsley trains working border collies at his farm in Caldwell. Over the past two dozen years, he’s produced a number of these “farm implements,” including Dylan, Robbie, Maddie, Hap, and Wizard—one of the top-ranked dogs in North America. “The Wizard is a special dog. He has a good personality, reads stuff so quickly—they don’t come along like that every day,” said Helsley. Helsley, who used to train and show cutting horses, trials and judges sheepdogs in addition to training them. He’ll be in charge of the competition at the Trailing of the Sheep Festival’s Championship Sheepdog Trials, which take place from dawn until dusk Saturday and Sunday at the Quigley Canyon field at the end of Fox Acres Road. The trials will feature 50 of the nation’s best sheepherding dogs competing to see which can round up a herd of sheep first. It takes up to two years to train a dog for competition. Helsley starts when the dogs are about one. “They’re glad to do it, to go out and bring the sheep back to the pen. Working with sheep is a treat for border collies,” he said. Border collies have been bred to have an instinct for herding sheep. Some breeds will chase lambs away from, instead of to, a herder. A border collie’s instinct is to keep stock lined up between it and the herder. But this instinct has to be fine-tuned and polished. Helsley starts by putting the pups in a round pen to see if they want to work. Over the next several months he works with the dog to heel, lie down and stay—not just when the dog’s an arm’s length away but when it’s a full field away. He’ll send a dog running off in a long arc to get behind the sheep, then use commands like “way to me” to get it to move right. “Come by,” he shouts, when he wants it to go left. Helsley will chase a handful of sheep out of a band to one corner of the field to teach the dog to herd in strays. And he’ll teach it to drive or herd sheep away from him—an unnatural move for a
Curt Mays says those who sponsor dogs in the Trailing of the Sheep Festival’s Championship Sheepdog Trials often ask if a Don Helsley or Patrick Shanahan dog is available to be sponsored. Many of these sponsors travel from around the country to see the dogs in action.
border collie whose instinct is to bring the sheep to its handler. It’s as if the dog has earned a Ph.D. by the time it’s run sheep, cornered ewes and tried to catch quick little lambs It certainly beats a sheepherder having to chase after the sheep himself. “It’s a long, hard training,” Helsley said. “You have to see: Can they take the pressure? Can they take you making them do something that’s not natural?” The sheepdog trials here can be particularly engaging to watch because the sheep here are range sheep that have had to be on guard against coyotes, wolves and other predators while ranging in the mountains. Consequently, they’re a lot feistier and more uncooperative than pastured sheep might be when the dog seeks to move them into a pen. Often, even the top dogs are unable to get the job done. “When you send a dog out there, these sheep see them as a threat,” Helsley said. Curt Mays, director of the Sheepdog Trials for the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, called the competition “authentic Idaho,” noting that such competitions have been happening for years around the West and even around the world. Handlers know each other. They know every dog. They know the bloodlines of each dog. They know who buys the pups. They know when a dog goes to doggy heaven. “It is an historic culture, one

that lives on as the rest of the world zooms by with an iPad 5 in one hand, the steering wheel in the other,” said Mays. “These sheepdogs perform their skills with such alacrity, finesse and focus. And these skills are witnessed by just a very small percentage of people around the world. The exciting part is that it’s happening right here in Idaho—a haven for sheepdog culture.” Helsley conceded that it is a unique, even rewarding sport: “I prize dogs that can go out and do a day’s work on the farm.

A
Sheepherder’s Ball, a riderless horse and a best-selling author—they’re all on tap when the Trailing of the Sheep Festival celebrates its 17th year of honoring the culture and history of wool, the lamb, and the land. The festival, which brings 5,000 out-of-towners and $3.5 million to the local economy, runs Thursday through Sunday in Hailey and Ketchum. The Trailing of the Sheep Festival is poised to parade out its hottest gig ever when The Hot Club of Cowtown plays a dinner-dance and show-dance Saturday during the annual festival. The Western swing and jazz band from Austin, Texas, fresh off a tour that includes stops in the United Kingdom, will take up residence at the nexStage Theatre for a Sheepherder’s Ball on Saturday night. Boise has long had a Sheepherder’s Ball held at Christmas each year to welcome sheepherders back to the community after spending all summer on the range with the sheep. The entertaining trio plays a croaking fiddle achieved by pulling fishing twine tied onto the G string and an Indian rag called a ghat, along with more traditional sounds like “What Makes Bob Holler,” an affectionate tribute to Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys. “They’re very famous. And, apparently, Elana James, the fiddler, captures a lot of cowboys’ hearts. When I went out fundraising, I had three cowboys come up with a bunch of money to bring in that band,” said Festival Director Mary Austin Crofts. The Hot Club of Cowtown will do a teaser about 2 p.m. at the Sheep Folklife Fair on Saturday, Oct. 12, in Hailey’s Roberta McKercher Gateway Park. Named for 2012’s best music group by “True West” magazine, they have opened for artists like Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. A dinner show catered y Rasberrys at 6:30 p.m. costs $50—for $10 more you can also attend the late show and dance. The late performance and dancing at 9 p.m. costs $20. “New York Times” best-selling author Mark Kurlansky, author of “The Basque History of the World,” “Salt,” and other books, will speak as part of the festival’s SheepTales Gathering at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The evening will also feature stories from lifelong rancher Bud Purdy and Idaho Basque Museum Director Patty Miller. Kurlansky will also preside over a storytelling workshop from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Center in Hailey. Cost is $45, available at 208-788-2033. “We’ll get to hear his take on the importance of keeping cultural diversity in this country and in the world,” said Austin Crofts. This year’s parade of sheep down Main Street Ketchum at noon on Sunday will honor longtime sheep rancher and former Idaho Secretary of State Pete T. Cenarrusa, who died a week ago Sunday. Cenarrusa created the Cenarrusa Foundation for Basque Culture. Pedro Loyola, a sheep foreman who

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, Although I've been living in the same house for the past 15 years, I've tried to keep in touch with the real estate market by reading the classified section. I've watched the market go up and I've watched the market go down, but the advertising lingo has always been relatively the same. That is, until recently. I started to look at the ads again and saw something that doesn't make any sense. The ads are listing bathrooms as 1.1, 3.2 and so on. I must admit it has me confused. At first I thought it was a typo and even sent you one as a joke. Then I saw it in an ad placed by a realtor. It certainly appears too often to be a mistake. I know what a 1/2 bath is, but I'm not sure what would constitute a ".1" bath. At 40 years old, I shouldn't be that far out of the loop. • • • Cash: We can understand your
confusion in reading the ads. If a 1/2 bath has a sink and a toilet, what's in a ".1" bath…a hand towel? Carry: Advertising abbreviations can sometimes be difficult to interpret. When people pay by the word or letter, they like to keep it

short. Although, I think classified ads are far easier to understand than most cell phone text messages. Cash: UGTBK. It's so EZY! WUCIWUG. (You've got to be kidding. It's so easy! What you see is what you get.) Carry: Fortunately, the notations you're seeing are much simpler to explain than that. Cash: A half bath, as you know, is used to describe a partial bathroom and can be written as "2½" or "2.5". However, as houses become larger in size, the notation doesn't account for more than a single half-bathroom. Instead, some people choose to use a peri-
od to separate the number of fullbaths and the number of halfbaths. Carry: In other words, 2.1 would be read as 2 full-baths and 1 half-bath. Likewise, 3.2 would be 3 full-baths and 2 half-baths. Maybe it would have been a better idea to use a dash or a colon to avoid any confusion. But as you've probably seen in real estate ads, things sometimes need to be deciphered. Cash: For instance "Cute", "Cozy" or "Charming" usually describes a small house. Or better, "Great Commuter Location" really means "a beautiful apartment right next to the train tracks!"
Complicated abbreviations used to be mostly found in classified ads. However, while text messaging has taken shorthand to a new level. To help you get through the encryption, here's the 411 on some of the more popular ones. BLNT ... Better luck next time. CULA ... See you later alligator. IDK ....... I don't know. N1 ......... Nice one. NVM .... Never mind. P911 ...... Parents coming alert. UW ....... You're welcome. ZUP ...... What's up? :-($) ....... Put your money where your mouth is.
Living in Style
As the sizes of homes increase, so do the amenities that go with them. While many families survive with a single bathroom, houses today are built with many more. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 95% of all new homes built have 2 or more bathrooms. The statistics vary by region, but the northeast seems to lead the nation with a mojority of their new homes having at least 3 bathrooms. •

Reader Humor Private Matters
My recent experience at an open house for a commercial property proves why I like private restrooms. I was in the public restroom washing my hands when a woman came in to use one of the stalls. A moment later she spoke out to me, "So how are you doing?" I was taken aback, but it seemed impolite not to answer. "Just fine," I replied. Then she asked, "How's your walk-through going?" "Pretty good," I again answered hesitantly. That's when I realized I was the strange one. From behind the stall door she said, "I'll have to call you back. Some woman keeps talking to me."
