STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

he Idaho cowboy has been well documented. The Idaho buckaroo? Not so much. Greenleaf photographer Andrea Scott aims to change that. And, in the process, she hopes to help the buckaroos survive an uncertain future in the face of environmental constraints and a shaky economic market. Scott has founded the Idaho Buckaroo Project, which explores buckaroo culture through photography, essays and the craftsmanship of buckaroos who ride the range. Some of her work, along with crafts, are being shown at The Center, Second Ave. S. and Pine Street, in Hailey from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Thursdays or by appointment. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts will throw a reception for the Idaho Buckaroo Project from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday. Scott will talk about that work at 6 p.m. and Portland-based singer-songwriter Jill Miller will perform songs about buckaroos, including a never-before-performed song paying homage to the 12 Mile Ranch, which lost 145 cows and calves—a third of its herd—in the Long Draw fire which burned 871 square miles of Owyhee desert this past summer. The song will be accompanied by burn photos that Scott says will be “thought-provoking.” Buckaroos, such as the “colorful cowgirl “ from Oreana, Melba spur-maker Gary Keithley and Linda Morton-Keithley, who won an award for their traditional arts from the Idaho Commission on the Arts, and Caldwell belt-maker Gary Stark will show off their handwoven saddle blankets, bits and spurs, cinch straps and other horse gear, which will be for sale. Refreshments will be served. Buckaroo is thought to be a corruption of “vaquero,” the Spanish word for cattle herders (“vaca” means cow). This style of cowboy might have originated in Turkey with the Moors, considering the star-and-crescent motif so often associated with the buckaroos, said Scott. Vaqueros came to Mexico with the Spanish, moved northward to California as the Spanish established mis-

ill Smallwood stood up to General Francisco Franco’s “big lie.” Then he suffered in silence for 39 years as he shelved his book containing the truth about what happened during the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. That changed this year. Not only did Smallwood’s book see the light of day, but the Basque government gave him an allexpenses-paid trip to the Basque country to talk about how he got 124 Basques to talk about the bombing during a time when a person could be arrested and tortured for mentioning the bombing. “You have no idea the pain I saw in the eyes of people who had seen their husbands killed, their children killed,” said Smallwood, who will give a presentation on the Basques at 5 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library in Ketchum. “It was a tremendous relief finally to be able to do what I set out to do—to deliver the truth.” Smallwood, a Sun Valley resident, embarked on his writing career as a science teacher in Mountain Home when he decided he could write a better textbook than the one his students were using. It turned out to be the best-selling high school textbook in the country at the time. Over time, Smallwood wrote two dozen science textbooks, guidebooks for military academy candidates, a couple of books on the Gulf War and biographies on Idaho Sen. Jim McClure, J. Elroy McCaw and Ernest Hemingway, making him one of Idaho’s most prolific and best-selling writers, according to Randy Stapilus, who just came out with a new book, “Idaho 100: The People Who Most Influenced the Gem State.”
Bill Smallwood, former Mountain Home Teacher of the Year and National Association of Biology Teachers Outstanding Biology Teacher, never strays far from his laptop, as he always has another book in the works. He is currently writing a book on a B-17 tail gunner.
Smallwood co-authored “Hemingway in Idaho” with Sun Valley resident Tillie Arnold, whose husband Lloyd had willed him the photos Arnold took as official photographer for Sun Valley Resort. But it was the book that detailed the atrocities committed by German bombers as they leveled the Basque city of Guernica—what the Basques call “Gernika”— that demanded the most sweat, blood and tears. And it started innocently enough— with a vacation to the Basque country. An enthusiastic traveler, Smallwood ventured into Basque country at the height of the Franco-led totalitarian Spanish government in 1970. The vacation started out as a lark, driving around in a convertible, pretty girls on either arm, a little too much wine. But when he broached the subject of politics, he saw a fear in the eyes of the people that he had never seen before. “There are informants everywhere,” one bartender icily told him, refusing to speak another word. As he probed, Smallwood learned that the official Franco version was that Reds had put dynamite into the town’s sewers and poured petrol in to make a fiery mixture that would destroy the town. But he sensed that the people who had lived through the conflagration had a different story. “I said, ‘That deserves to be told. I’m going to go back to Idaho and learn Basque and I’m coming back for a year and I’m going to get the true story of what happened,’ ” he said.
Bill Smallwood wore a black beret he’d been given 45 years earlier when his Basque friends in Mountain Home made him an honorary “Basco” and gave him the Basque name Egurtxiki, for his presentation on the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica. He also wore a black wool dress coat called a “kaiku” that a young Basque had given him during the summer of 1973.
Smallwood returned to Idaho and spent nearly a year learning the difficult Basque language, even spending a month in Owyhee County eating and working with Basque sheepherders as they fought through snow and a bitterly cold April to lamb sheep. After learning such phrases as “the wind is cold outside,” he returned to the Basque country where he immediately attracted interest as a “kampotik”—an outsider—who could speak Basque, albeit in a strange form. “I told them I learned from all the lazy Basques who herded sheep in Idaho and they erupted in laughter because there’s no such thing as lazy Basques,” he said. His grasp of Euskara didn’t immediately didn’t get him the interviews he had hoped for, however. Although he returned to the country on Sept. 13, his breakthrough didn’t come until May Day. “I was told, ‘This man sitting on your right is an attorney. If he tells you there’s a book collection he’d like you to see, that’s the signal he’s willing to help you,’

Croy Nordic Trails Take Shape Just in Time for Pass Sales
Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation Nordic Coach Rick Kapala prepared for the ski season last week by running up and down Carbonate Mountain, which sits opposite the new Croy Nordic trail system in Hailey. STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
E
ric Rector has been plowing up a dust storm this past week as he sets out new Nordic trails in Croy Canyon. But, with pass sales starting this week, he hopes he’ll be setting tracks in snow pretty soon. “These trails may take a little more snow than Quigley Canyon,” he said. “But they should give skiers a new experience.” Croy Nordic was made possible through the collaboration of the Blaine County Recreation District, City of Hailey, Croy Canyon Ranch Foundation, Blaine County School District, Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, Wood River Land Trust and the Simons family. It will encompass about 7.5 kilometers of groomed classic and skate trails that start at Lions Park and go up a small hill to wind along the willows. There will be a separate skiing area for dogs. A yurt has already been set up in the trees at Lions Park and Rector plans to offer a small sledding hill for youngsters like the one they had at Quigley. Quigley Nordic was taken out of the equation after the City of Hailey denied an annexation

request by the property owner. BCRD Director Jim Keating says the department hopes to keep the new Bow Bridge over the Big Wood River maintained so that Della Vista and other Hailey homeowners can ski through Heagle Park and the Draper Preserve to access the groomed trails. “Croy Nordic will be a great system,” he said. “It’s an experience few people have seen with a beautiful look back at the mountains east of Hailey. You can’t even see the city.” Keating said Croy Nordic wasn’t finalized in time to provide a separate Croy Nordic pass, as skiers had with the Quigley Nordic pass last year. Users will be asked to purchase a season pass from BCRD or a $10 Croy Nordic day pass at the trailhead. Those who purchase adult season passes online through Nov. 19 will receive a $40 discount. This year’s passes cost $179 for adults during the pre-season sale and $219 after Nov. 19. Passes cost $29 for youth ages 13 through 17 and $49 for dogs. Children 12 and under ski free. Those who want to pitch a little extra into the coffers to help maintain the trails can purchase platinum and gold pin
The Blaine County Recreation District has already set up its yurt at Lions Park. The department plans to build a sledding hill nearby when snow permits.
Company of Fools will unveil “The Woman in Black,” a spooky thriller about a lawyer who is haunted by the ghost of a woman in black, on Wednesday, Oct. 17 with a Pay What You Feel preview at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

packages for $250 and $100. The passes are good for 160 kilometers of trails, including trails around Galena Lodge and trails along Highway 75 from the Lake Creek area to Galena. The system is one of the nation’s largest, said BCRD spokesperson Janelle Connors. No tax dollars are used to groom the Nordic trails, with the exception of the Wood River Trail, the bike path that runs from Ketchum to Bellevue. Skiers may ski that free of charge.

aler Austin, a former New York socialite—a sugarfoot if there ever was one—at age 72 is doing something remarkable. She’s restoring thousands of acres of land on both the Mexican and southern Arizona side of the border, an area known as the Madrean Archipelago. Here the temperate zone merges with the subtropical. It is a major intersection of the Sierra Madre (Arizona’s Chiracauas), the southern end of the Rockies and the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts. It is one of the most biologically diverse places in the world—a meeting place of mountains, grasslands, forests and riparian areas. One half of North America’s bird population lives here; it has the highest mammal count; and over 3000 plant species thrive here. The area has been under siege for the last century. Progress has meant mining, logging, farming and cattle ranching. The land got used and used up. No business or government entity spent five minutes or five dollars on remediation. This is the Old and New West as we know it. Thirty-one years ago, Valer’s husband Josiah wanted out of the investment banking business. On a visit to Arizona, a friend suggested they make an offer on a 2000-acre spread. Valer had no intention of buying it, but the rancher jumped at the low-ball offer. ‘Maybe a second
home,’ she thought. The acreage had long been worked to death. It was a large tract of red dust and rocks, stands of mesquite and creosote; deep, litter-strewn arroyos snaked through the lifeless wasteland. The grasses had long been grazed off. Southern Arizona’s 13 inches of annual rainfall came in a series of monsoon downpours. There was no water retention—it disappeared as runoff as fast as it arrived. The debris it carried scoured the land. This had become a manmade desert. A century ago, the rains replenished the creeks and rivers: it seeped into the soil held by grasses; it pooled and stayed awhile. There were marshes, cottonwoods, regenerative fire and a huge diversity of animal life to match. Once the land was denuded and the droughts arrived, it was defenseless against the wind and the bulldozing runoffs. The Austins had work to do. They relocated and began the year-round work of reclamation. They started to build water-retentive rock dams called trincheras and gabios to hold back the water and prevent washouts. The dams were designed to slowly release the water. They saw that the nutrient-rich silt began to deposit and grasses began to grow. Pools of water began to stay well into the dry season. Today, there are over 20,000 of these dams on their various properties on both sides of the border. The grasses,
The last couple of winters, the so-called “crud” cold walloped our Valley, keeping some folks ill for months. Lest you get sick with a cold or flu yourself, start working on your defenses now. Your two best strategies are avoiding exposure and maintaining maximum health for best resistance. Dodging exposure means washing your hands relentlessly (and not touching your
nose and eyes) and staying away from people who are sneezing or coughing. Suggesting that sick people not come to work or school is the best way to ensure that the whole crew doesn’t get ill (and the sick ones will get well faster with extra rest).

Traveling in Search of Fiber Tales BY KAREN BOSSICK
L
inda Cortright has herded renegade sheep by helicopter in New Zealand, flying them to safety by chopper. She’s visited with Ecuadoran women who wear heels and dresses to herd alpacas. She’s slept with 12,000 cashmere goats in Kyrgyzstan and trailed wild guanaco in the Andes of South America, while traveling a million-plus miles gathering stories and photos of herders and weavers around the world for her “Wild Fibers” magazine. Now, Cortright plans to take those in search of a good armchair adventure to Myanmar in Burma, Oman, the Himalayas, Tibet, Mongolia, New Zealand and other exotic places during the 16th annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival this weekend in the Wood River Valley. She will speak and show pictures at a Success Breakfast from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Friday at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden a few miles south of Ketchum on Highway 75. Cortright will follow that up with a photographic and storytelling journey about traveling the world to save natural fibers from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday at The Community Library in Ketchum. “The people in the fiber world adore this woman,” said Mary Austin Crofts, director of the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. “Her magazines are absolutely

She also hopes to view John Peavey’s flocks in the Lake Creek area to gather stories from Idaho. Cortright says she rarely finds the indigenous people who work with the animals wearing sweaters or coats made from their fiber. “It’s their source of income so it doesn’t make sense that they would wear cashmere sweaters, even though it would offer warmth at places 16,000 feet high,” she said.

stunning.” Cortright said her most recent travels have taken her 16,000 feet high in the Himalayas of India where the nomads still use yaks to transport their belongings as they trail their animals; also, the Myanmar lakes of Burma where she watched people harvest fiber from the stem of lotus plants. The women who harvest the stems must cut them without severing the fibers. Then they lay them on a table and roll them into one thread using the palms of their hands. “It’s an extraordinary method of harvesting that involves breaking open the stems. It takes 5,000 stems to create a small snatch that can be spun and woven into garments,” said Cortright, who raises cashmere goats at her home in Maine. Cortright’s travels have taught her about the fragility of the fiber market. Wool is becoming scarce in South America, for instance, as what wool is sheared increasingly comes from sheep headed to the meat market. Vicunas, which produce golden fleece—the rarest, most costly natural fiber in the world—aren’t reproducing in Ecuador, thanks to the Throat of Fire volcano that spews ash over their home. Her travels have also acquainted her with fibers she would otherwise have known nothing about, such as qiviuk, a fiber from Arctic muskox that’s even softer than cashmere, and
ast week USA Today listed the Trailing of the Sheep Festival among 10 great animal-themed festivals, including the Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee and the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. But the festival, which celebrates its 16th anniversary this year, is about more than animals. Try Basque wine cakes, arborglyphs and fiber from lotus plants in Southeast Asia. This year’s festival, sponsored by Zions Bank, gets underway Thursday with the first of several sewing and quilting classes. “Wild Fibers” magazine editor and publisher Linda Cortright promises to take people on an amazing photo journey around the world showcasing cashmere goats in the Himalayas and Vicuñas in Ecuador, Friday and Saturday. And in between there will be plenty of opportunities to sample lamb dishes and enjoy the music and dance of ethnic groups that have had a hand in herding sheep as the festival leads up to its climatic finish with the Trailing of the Sheep Parade with 1,500 sheep following musicians down Ketchum’s Main Street at noon Sunday. The Gooding Basque Association, which boasts 300 members from Hailey, Twin Falls, Jerome and other towns, will serve up Basque food—lamb grinders topped with green peppers and onions, Basque rice, chorizos, rice pudding and Basque wine cakes—for the first time at the Trailing of the Sheep Championship Sheepdog Trials Saturday and Sunday. “I’ve been to the festival every year since it started. It’s a great fixture because so many nationalities are represented. It shows off the past life of the Blaine County valley when so many Basques took up residence there. And it shows off culture—and

I’m all for that,” said Peggy Guerecaechevaria, who lives in Hagerman but has Sun Valley connections, thanks to her husband Jose who works at The Community School. The Festival has worked with Sun Valley residents Paul and Kathy Carson, who produce the National Dog Show following the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, to improve the trials by adding an announcer, a time clock and more educational components. Don Helsley’s four-year-old border collie, The Wizard, currently ranked sixth in the nation in the U.S. Border Collie Handlers Association rankings, will be among the sheepdogs competing at this year’s trials, which go on all day long at the Quigley fields just north of Wood River High School in Hailey. Ash, who won the Trailing championships last year, will be back, as will Riggs—Patrick Shannahan’s 10-year-old border collie who won the 2010 Nationals and has won the championship trials in Washington, Oregon and Wyoming so far this year. Ditto for Rex, a nine-yearold border collie who won the 2010 and 2011 open championships.
“The trials have been so popular that we have a huge waiting list of dogs wanting to get in,” said Festival Director Mary Austin Crofts. “And we just learned that the U.S. Border Collie Association wants us to host the 2014 National Trials. That’s huge—that would bring between 2,000 and 3,000 trials people alone.” Diane Josephy Peavey, author of “Bitterbrush Country,” will join Western author Teresa Jordan and others in telling stories of the land at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the nexStage Theatre. The program will include a 12-minute film clip edited from the Women Writing and Living the West Symposium, which was part of last year’s Trailing festival. Peavey co-founded the Festival with her husband John as a way to familiarize the people of the Wood River Valley with its sheep heritage after ranchers agreed to allow a bike path to be built on the sheep driveway they’d trailed sheep on to and from summer pastures in the mountains for decades. “They finished the path and we started getting calls: Get your sheep off our path!” recounted Diane Peavey. tws

BASKING IN BASQUE HISTORY, from page 1 ” Smallwood recalled. “He was a head of the Basque underground and he had to check me out first. But after he did, he had me meet this ‘angel’ to learn good Basque, not sheepherder Basque.” Bit by bit, Smallwood was ushered into the collective memories of those who had been there the day that German Luftwaffe units bombed the town for four hours, non-stop. What the bombs didn’t destroy, fire did as it swept through the town, destroying 80 percent of the buildings and killing even those who had escaped to the safety of bomb shelters. When the first bombs hit, everyone went running out of their houses, scattering in different directions, not knowing where to go to find refuge. But even those hiding in the woods were not safe as soldiers with machine guns picked them off. When the smoke had cleared, 1,654 of the town’s 5,630 inhabitants were dead. The arms factory and main bridge were intact, Smallwood pointed out, showing the intended target had been civilians. Smallwood interviewed one man who worked a newsstand who described how he threw two girls in a ditch and lay on top of them as fighter planes moved in to shoot at those who ran. The fighter planes strafed him, leaving one arm hanging from tendons. One of the girls took off her hose to wrap around him to stop the bleeding and he was carried in a chair to the hospital where his arm was amputated. “I later interviewed a woman in Boise who described the very same story. Needless to say, when I returned to the Basque country, I returned with a big box of fancy cigars and cognac for that guy,” said Smallwood, who was assisted in his inter-
views by a woman who translated testimony from 40 survivors and had those translations smuggled out of the country. But Smallwood’s hopes of publishing his book were dashed just as he finished it when a Dartmouth University professor wrote an article titled “The Guernica Myth.” The article said Picasso had been duped into painting that most famous anti-war painting of screaming women and dismembered bodies. The article was re-published in “The Saturday Evening Post” and other publications. Smallwood put his manuscript away and forgot about it until former Idaho Secretary of State Pete Cenarrusa, who often served as a liaison between Idaho Basques and the Basque country, shared it with Xabier Irujo, a professor of Basque studies at the University of Nevada in Reno. Irujo got the Basque government in Gernika to publish it. “He said he never knew anybody had been interviewed,” Smallwood recounted. “He said, ‘It has to be published immediately and you have to present it at the 75th anniversary.’ ” Indeed, Smallwood returned to the Basque country in August where he showed his wife Patricia the “always narrow, twisting streets” he remembered, listened to the “machine-gun chatter” of the farmers, ate beef tongue cooked in Basque sauce and drank black wine. He also visited with old friends, including Luis Archabal, a former cook in the Wilson Sheep Camp in Hammett, and Contxi Guezuraga, the widow of Pete Guezuraga, who had owned The Mint bar when it was Ernest Hemingway’s favorite stop on his way home from pheasant or duck hunting at Silver Creek.
He gave his official presentation to a crowd that spilled out the doors. He consented to an interview on film. And he offered a few more impromptu talks at the Basques’ requests. “It was heady stuff for a geezer who had put a manuscript away 39 years earlier, thinking it was unpublishable,” he said.
Free Presentation Bill Smallwood will offer a free presentation, “The Basques and their Rank in World Cultures,” at 5 p.m. Thursday at The Community Library in Ketchum. The presentation will focus on little-known ways in which the Basques have contributed to the world, including their sojourn to Red Bay, Labrador, in the early 1500s. Smallwood said he has long admired the Basques and their frugality. He recounted how a Basque laundrywoman refused to return his laundered slacks to his son so that she could berate him in person because he had left a Basque coin worth seven cents in his pants when he took it to the laundry. “She started railing me about how I need to be more careful with my money,” he recalled. “I remember one of my friends telling me how he had lost hundreds of dollars to ranchers in Owyhee and Elmore counties during the Depression. He said he never lost one penny from Basques, though. And that still holds true today. While I was in Gernika this summer, we discussed how the Spanish financial crisis was affecting most of Spain. Yet it was barely noticeable in Euskadi because the Basques would never let their country accumulate debt.” tws
Basques in the West
former Ketchum sheepherder Alberto Uranga; Vincente Vergara of Rupert, who passed away Sept. 16; Chris Ansotegui, who named Epi’s Basque restaurant in Meridian after a woman who ran a Hailey boarding house; Basque Museum Director Patty Miller; and Henry Etcheverry of Gooding. Community School alum Amaya Oxarango-Ingram, whose grandfathers came from the Old World to herd sheep in the New, helped Barras with the early filming. The film explores the tension between preserving the distinctive Euskera language, folk dances, accordion and flutedriven music and other aspects of Basque culture while living in today’s world. Barras incorporated more than 75 hours of footage into one. A number of Basque individuals and organizations helped finance the film, including the Basque Association in Gooding, which donated $1,000 to the film. “I’m amazed at the network and connections the Basque have had from the past when they connected through boarding houses to the present when they connect over the Basque government,” Barras said. “In the beginning, parents didn’t teach much about their culture—they wanted to wipe their hands of the horror of the war and General Franco. It’s the second and third generations that picked up on their Basque heritage. They wanted to know what it was all about.” tws

rent Barras, who works in production for commercial media in Seattle, will offer a free screening of his new film at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, at The Community Library in Ketchum. Barras set out to make a documentary about the people along the Snake River, which flows near his childhood home of Rupert. But his focus narrowed considerably when he met a couple of Basque women near Enterprise, Ore. “They came from Europe as young ladies with their dresses and dress shoes, not expecting the vastness of the West. They ended up growing up on a sheep ranch in Hells Canyon,” Barras said. The result: a film titled “Basques in the West,” which Barras will screen at 6 tonight at The Community Library in Ketchum. The showing is free. The hour-long film is the story of a people whom, Barras says, are often overlooked even though they’ve been around for generations herding sheep and sharing their vibrant culture with the people of the Great Basin. Yet, the film is unique in that it explores the many sides of modern-day American Basques, rather than simply Basques as sheepherders. It offers some nice photography of such Basque traditions as ax wielding. But it also offers interviews of well-known Basques in the area, including

Art and Ideas – Gallery Walk, Friday, Oct. 12 “Experiences, to me, are the moments of self-inflicted happiness from the ups and downs of life… The only real elements are the sorrows and joys of living.” —Andrew Lui, at Gallery DeNovo. BY BALI SZABO
T
here is some confusion about realism and abstraction, representational (copy) and non-representational (creative) art. The distinctions are false, as the two interact with each other. Some of the most abstract of 20th-century artists have stated that they paint or construct ‘after nature.’ Also, today’s mixed media is almost the rule, as techniques and materials interact with a crafted abandon. The word ‘contemporary’ is now used as a signpost, a way to describe, in a postmodern language, the natural world and an artist’s personal expression of, and reaction to, it. This month’s exhibits are good illustrations of this issue. Kneeland Gallery, 271 1st Ave. N. If there’s any gallery committed to realism and naturalism, it is Kneeland. Yet, even here, the language is unmistakably modern, like the horses of Jean Richardson. This month features animals, wild and domestic, either as portraits (Linda St. Clair), or in the context of autumn and winter landscapes. The bronze sculptures of Sherry Sander and Craig Woodard ably capture wild animals in action. Gallery DeNovo, 320 1st Ave. N. Just across the street is another world. This month features the photography of Philip Tsiaras who, in 2008, visited us

during Wagon Days, and portrayed the parade from ground level, giving us a child’s-eye-view of legs and wheels. He mostly works in mixed media. There is also the work of above-quoted Andrew Lui who uses warm tones and the cool of turquoise on a white ground to portray the forces of history. This is the unity of abstraction and emotion. Catalan painter Augusti Puig’s broad black strokes echo Kline, Motherwell and Picasso. In the midst of this maze of linear energy invariably lurks the silhouette of a face. Friesen Gallery, 320 1st Ave. N. Next door, the Friesen Gallery features Mark Rediske’s
vivid contrast to Tom Villa’s seemingly representational 3-D renditions of Plains Indian finery. These artifacts, taken out of context, become a cultural coat of arms, every bit as modern and iconic as the Warhol portraits of Annie Oakley and General Custer on the opposite wall. Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Rd. In a group show titled The Constructive Spirit, we come full circle from the Kneeland. Here we see the geometric, architectural displays of pure line and color, ideas that have their root in the early 20th century, which were embraced by New York and Latin America. Constructivism is an ongoing conceptual
juxtaposed panels using the modern technique of serialization and the Old Masters’ use of the diptych and the triptych. The gallery notes, “His inspiration draws from the ancient cultures that held the belief that nature has both a physical presence and a spiritual identity.” A good example of the synthesis of the abstract and the natural world are the two pieces by Steve Jensen, textured and tonal, that remind the viewer of windswept prairie grass. Broschofsky Galleries, 360 East Ave. This is the most consistently Western of our galleries, and the realistic watercolors of William Matthews’ ranch life stand in
attempt, begun by Cezanne, to strip art and the world down to elemental truths, to basic geometric building blocks, an impulse shared by the subatomic particle physicists at CERN. Other galleries open for Gallery Walk: Frederic Boloix Fine Arts, 351 Leadville Ave. Ochi Gallery, 305 Walnut St. Expressions, 360 East Ave. David M. Norton Gallery, 511 Sun Valley Rd. First Avenue Contemporary Art Gallery, 360 1st Ave. Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave. N. The Harvey Art Projects folks are in Australia. tws

Boulder Mountain Clayworks Bowl-a-Thon Make a bowl at Boulder Mountain Clayworks and help fight hunger in the Wood River Valley. Boulder Mountain Clayworks will hold their third annual Bowl-A-Thon on Saturday, Oct. 13 to benefit The Hunger Coalition. Doors will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.. For the past three years Boulder Mountain Clayworks and The Hunger Coalition have joined forces to raise awareness and money for the people of the Wood River Valley who struggle to buy food for themselves and their families. The Empty Bowls fundraiser is a wonderful event where Boulder Mountain Clayworks and many community members make handmade bowls to be sold for $20. The event will be held on Jan. 20 at the Presby-
terian Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. The community is invited to buy a bowl and fill it with wonderful food donated by various local restaurants and caterers. For the last several years Boulder Mountain Clayworks and many community members have made over 600 bowls that have been sold at this event. One hundred percent of the proceeds have gone strictly for the purchase of food that has been distributed throughout the Valley by The Hunger Coalition. Boulder Mountain Clayworks donates all supplies and studio time and will lend a hand to those with less clay experience. Info: 726-4484 or bouldermtnclay@yahoo.com

One woman already made a $250 contribution, which will go on the pink Christmas tree RE/MAX borrowed from The Advocates, said Joanne Wetherell. “No donation is too small as every little bit helps,� she added. “It can be as little as collecting the change out of your car or house and putting it in the donation box at the RE/MAX office, making a credit card donation online or dropping off a donation check to RE/MAX.� Staff members are still mulling just how to theme the other two weekends in October. Oct. 19 could be themed “Jazzed About Pink� to go with the Sun Valley Jazz Festival, said office manager Shauna Smith. And Oct. 26 could feature pink beer or pink fondue in honor of Oktoberfest.

The concert—at 7 p.m. at Sun Valley’s indoor ice rink—will feature the Wood River High School Jazz Band. It will also feature Tom Hook and Yve Evans. Hook, a buff of military music, has compiled music from the Napoleanic Wars, the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. He has a one-man historical drama, “Riverman!,� a live Civil War music project, and a one-man show detailing “One Man’s Journey into 19th Century America.� He plays New Orleans rhythm and blues with The Black Dogs band. Evans, who hails from Los Angeles, is familiar to Sun Valley-area residents for the many years she’s shared her soulful music at the jazz festival. The festival gets underway in earnest on Wednesday, Oct. 17 when 40 bands from around the country will serve up a variety of
jazz styles, including Gypsy jazz, Big Band swing, Zydeco and blues in more than 200 shows in 11 venues over five days. New this year: Glenn Crytzer & His Syncopators, a swing band influenced by Benny Goodman, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton. Also: Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums.

E/MAX of Sun Valley will be drowning in pink the next three Fridays as staff members join the Susan G. Komen Passionately Pink for the Cure Fundraiser to raise money for breast cancer research. RE/MAX members, who loaded up on everything pink at The Gold Mine, Barkin’ Basement and The Advocates Attic, will open their office to others who want to don pink for a Pink Party at noon every Friday during the month of October. They’ll kick it off this week by being sheepishly pink in conjunction with the Trailing of the Sheep weekend. Staff members will dress to the nines in pink and serve pink martinis, pink cupcakes, pink cookies and pink lemonade. They will also have custom-made pink cupcakes for sale and to order. And supporters can bid on four pink lawn chairs that will be positioned out front for the Trailing of the Sheep parade. There also will be a weekly raffle offering up such prizes as a round of golf for four at Blues Lakes Country Club, a $100 Whiskey Jacques’ gift certificate, a vacation rental of three days/two nights in Sun Valley, and other gift certificates.

‘The King And I’ A BY KAREN BOSSICK
t face value, you wouldn’t think a musical about a Siamese king trying to prove he’s capable of keeping up with modernity has much in common with evolving America. But, in fact, “The King and I� very much spoke to the Civil Rights movement when it was written in 1951. And, even today, its storyline of people from two very different cultures attempting to find common ground is a timeless message that speaks to current questions about how to deal with Muslims, says the show’s choreographer and set designer, Dennis Rexroad. “Last year those of us with St. Thomas Playhouse laughed and giggled about small town life as we performed ‘Music Man.’ Now, we’re looking at a sea of change. And that examination is very appropriate today as we see fear of change and issues of dealing with people who are not like us around the world,� said Director R.L. Rowsey. “In fact, when Anna—the teacher—befriends a young Siamese couple, she gives them ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ which is a great commentary not only on slavery, but on women’s rights, since no one has ever heard of women writing a book at that time.� St. Thomas Playhouse will present Rodgers and Hammerstein’s lavish musical, “The King and I,� at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 21, at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum. The musical, directed by Company of Fools’ Music Director R.L. Rowsey, features the story of an English widow who accepts a position teaching English and Western ways to the King of Siam’s royal wives and children. But, even though the King is determined to prove that his nation can be part of the modern world, she and her young son find themselves in the midst of a culture still struggling with barbaric customs. The musical features such beloved songs as “Getting to Know You� and “Shall We Dance?� Steve d’Smith, a veteran Sun Valley Shakespeare and Laughing Stock Theatre Company actor, whose roles include that of Scrooge in the annual “Christmas Carol,� will play the role of the King. Melody Mauldin, a professional singer, will play Anna. Sam Fauth and Luke Mauldin take turns playing Anna’s son Louis. Cherie Kessler plays Lady Thiang; Hollie Ann Hatch, Princess Tumptin; Kevin Wade, Lun Thua; and Tim Eagan, The Kralahome. While the play features a stubborn king, it also features three strong women who make very bold choices. Anna, for instance, maintains her ground even though she can’t understand the King’s stubbornness when it comes to his backwards traditions. And Lady Thiang, the first wife of the King, has a clever
way of influencing the King without his knowing it. “It’s an excellent cultural statement of how human beings bump up against each other when they don’t understand the cultural differences,� said Kessler. “It’s a timeless piece about compassion and understanding.� Rexroad has spent days and weeks crafting 22 bejeweled headdresses out of ball caps, in which he’s cut off the brims, adorning them with Christmas decorations and Mardis Gras trinkets for the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin� ballet. The scenery is comprised of sumptuous-looking fabric created for theater companies in shades of gold and royal purple that doesn’t have to be changed. The music is one of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s best scores, said Rowsey, who will double up as music director since Dick Brown is recovering from surgery on one of his conducting arms. “Almost everyone will be able to say, ‘Oh, I know that one,’ � he said.

Back From The Future BY JONATHAN KANE
Jon rated this movie
F
inally, an honest-to-goodness, kick-ass science fiction film! And one, no less, that co-stars Hailey’s favorite son, Bruce Willis. That is the story of the new film Looper, which may save science fiction as a genre given the recent spate of disappointing sci-fi-like Promethues. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the picture contains imminently original material pulled off with exact precision. But, most importantly, the film unfolds audience-friendly in that you can understand the twisted plot, unlike films like Inception, which was complete inane nonsense from the opening frame. Looper, in some spare voiceover, simply lays out the plot elements and guides you through a story full of twists, turns and time travel, which is a welcome relief. As to the plot, I won’t go into details here. The picture is set in 2044 where crime victims from 2074 are sent by the mob back in time to be assassinated by
men called Loopers. When a new crime boss in the future decides to ‘close the loops,’ Loopers are sent back to 2044 to be assassinated by their younger selves. When Gordon-Levitt lets his older self, Willis, escape execution, all kinds of bad things happen in the universe because you can’t have two versions of the same person in the same time period. Willis has an agenda in the past and Gordon-Levitt has to stop him. That’s the general outline, but the twists come fast and furious until a surprise ending that wraps the story up neatly. As to the performances, they are all excellent, including supporting turns from Jeff Daniels and Emily Blunt. But the real stars are Willis and Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt, aided by pros-
thetics, is especially impressive as he takes on some of Willis’ more famous facial expressions and mannerisms. Willis gets to resuscitate his action hero stuff in one scene with guns blazing and bodies flying. Looper has it all going on and is a more than satisfying addition to the fall tws schedule.

Connection Pushes Back Re-opening Date The Senior Connection has had to push back its re-opening day to Tuesday, Oct. 23. The kitchen remodel construction is moving right along, but some delays with equipment, etc., have forced them to push back the day for one week. Kim Coonis of the Senior Connection said, “We are so excited about this project and the benefit it will have, not only for seniors but for the entire community.�
New enrollment is also starting for the Connection Club. Do you care for a family member with dementia or Alzheimer’s? Then join the Connection Club today and get some free time for yourself while your loved one is cared for in a loving and enriching environment. Pick one to four days a week. Call today for more information, 208-788-3468, or check us out online at www.blainecountyseniors.org

Free Children’s Vitamin Program Launched Luke’s Family Pharmacy is announcing its FREE children’s multivitamin program to be launched on October 11, 2012 in conjunction with the Pharmacy’s grand opening for its relocation to 101 S. Main St. in Hailey. A recent study by the American Academy of Pediatrics described vitamin deficiency as a problem with children, especially with Vitamin D. As a result of that study, as well as a desire to provide a service to the community, Luke’s Family Pharmacy will provide a free 30-day supply of its private label children’s multivitamin for each child
in the family. The parents can then come back and get free refills of the vitamins for up to one year. “In these times of financial hardship for many families, a child’s health needs should not have to be sacrificed,� says Luke Snell, owner/ pharmacist at Luke’s Family Pharmacy. “We will be contacting all the local school districts and doctors’ offices to let them know about our free vitamin program as well.� There is no purchase necessary to be eligible for the free vitamins. The only requirement is that a parent fills out a signup form.

Nine Really Practical Reasons to Meditate BY ROSEMARY CODY
M
illions of people meditate. Some do it for spiritual growth; others do it to manage stress. But here are some positively down-toearth reasons to meditate. 1. It makes you smarter. The August 2012 issue of American Legion magazine (not a New Age publication!) reports on a study from the University of California Los Angeles’ Laboratory of Neuro Imaging. It shows that the cerebral cortexes of longterm meditators contain more furrows and folds—what scientists call “gyrification�—than the brains of non-meditators. The more folds the cortex has, the better the brain processes information. 2. It keeps you younger. The new frontier of anti-aging science involves telomeres, the protective caps on the ends of our chromosomes. With time and aging, these protective caps unravel, like the aglets on shoelaces. Studies from the University of California Davis show that meditators have significantly higher levels of telomerase, the enzyme that produces and replenishes the telomeres. Stronger telomeres equal slower aging. 3. It makes you nicer. Neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson, speaking in the Wood River Valley last week, purported that meditation literally changes the structure and chemistry of our brains. Studies using a MRI demonstrate increases in the areas of the brain associated
with positive emotions such as compassion and empathy. 4. It regulates blood pressure. A 2008 study from Massachusetts General Hospital tracked 60 subjects with high blood pressure who meditated for three months. At the end of the study, 40 of them had significant blood pressure drops and were able to reduce medication. 5. It prevents colds and flu. A University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health study indicates that those involved in mindfulness meditation, along with moderate exercise, had 30-50 percent less symptoms than people who don’t engage in either practice. 6. It reduces pain. According to a Wake Forest Baptist University study, meditation reduces pain intensity by 40 percent. Morphine and other pain-relieving drugs showed pain reduction of 25 percent. 7. It enhances athletic performance. The sports program at Reed College includes a contemplative meditation course directed at developing traits essential to athletic excellence: the ability to be calm, relaxed and focused. 8. It’s cost-effective. Although it is valuable to invest in professional instruction to get your practice started, ultimately, it’s free. You’re tapping into an endless supply of universal creative energy. It’s organic, sustainable, renewable and recyclable. 9. It’s portable. A friend was accidentally locked in a public bathroom (without a cell phone)
after closing time. Discovered by a search party five hours later, she emerged looking radiant and refreshed. She had created a meditation cushion out of toilet paper rolls and used the time to meditate. Think of it as the “cure within.� The stillness of meditation gives your “inner pharmacist� the space to formulate and dispense your own personal healthoptimizing elixirs. It’s practical, self-contained, efficient, smart medicine. And if, in the process, you experience more joy or catch a glimpse of enlightenment, oh well! Certainly not adverse side effects!

Helen Chen Returns to Teach More Healthy Chinese Cooking STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
H
elen Chen has fixed dinner for no less than Julia Child. And now she wants to fix dinner for you. Chen, who has written several cookbooks and designed a line of Helen’s Asian Kitchen products, will teach “Healthy Cooking the Chinese Way” from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, at Rasberrys in Ketchum. The class is offered by Ketchum Kitchens, which carries her line of non-stick woks, bamboo spatulas and what she calls a “fail-proof” rice cooker that she says will never allow rice to burn, boil over, scorch or overcook. Chen thoroughly entertained a sold-out class last year as she showed attendees how to prepare such dishes as steamed ginger wasabi salmon, told stories about the difference between authentic Chinese and American Chinese cooking, and offered a variety of tips, including that of keeping spoons far, far away from rice. This time she will prepare Green Tea Jasmine Rice with Toasted Sesame Seeds, the rice cooked in a brewed green tea for a delicate flavor. She also will show how to prepare Chicken with Cashews, Steamed Eggplant Salad, Cantonese Pork Lo Mein and Coral and Jade. The latter dish features shrimp and water chestnuts in a dish that takes on a pinkish coral hue, thanks to the shrimp and a light tomato sauce. Snow peas resemble the green color of Imperial jade, so prized by the
Helen Chen says Chinese don’t use butter, cheese or milk in their cooking because it takes too many resources to grow cows for milking.
Chinese, said Chen, who teaches Asian cooking classes at Boston University and at workshops across the country. “My mother coined this name for a popular shrimp dish we served at our restaurant,” she added. Attendees will also learn about steaming, stir-frying, healthy low-fat cooking, Chinese spices and sauces, how to cook foolproof rice, preparing evenly cooked but crisp vegetables, and Asian knife skills. “Helen is world-renowned,” said Don Leonard, who owns Ketchum Kitchens. “She did a tremendous job for us last time—we had a dozen people who weren’t able to get in on the class because it was sold out.
So, we couldn’t wait to have her back.” Chen grew up in the kitchen. Her mother Joyce Chen operated award-winning restaurants near Harvard and MIT, helping America move beyond chow mein noodles and La Choy soy sauce. And Joyce Chen starred in her own PBS cooking show back when she and Julia Child were the only cooks on TV. “I give people tools, not just recipes. And I explain things like where stir-frying comes from and why we do things the way we do,” Helen Chen said. The class, which will include samples of the food, costs $60. To register, call 208-726-1989. tws
FROM MARGOT’S TABLE
Jam, The European way BY MARGOT VAN HORN
1. Cut your fruit into smaller pieces, pit them, or with berries you can leave them whole if you wish, or with large strawberries, cut them into smaller pieces. 2. For each cup of cut fruit, use 1/4 cup of refined white sugar. If using apricots, peaches or nectarines, squeeze a bit of lemon juice on them. If using mangoes, squirt a bit of lime juice on them. If using tomatoes, add a bit of lemon and if you wish some gingerroot or preserved ginger or stick cinnamon. Yum! 3. Toss your fruit with the correct amount of sugar in a large skillet that you will be using on the morrow or in a large bowl. Place either one covered in the refrigerator overnight. 4. Next day, place your skillet with the fruit and sugar in it on top of your stove without any lid and bring it to a very low simmer. Let it low simmer from half hour to 1 hour or more. Be sure to keep an eye on it and to stir it at least every 10-15 minutes. When I use just 1-2 Cups of fruit, I notice that the jam can
finish in just 15 minutes. As well, sometimes the pectin in your fruit may be of high caliber therefore you don’t have to cook it as long. 5. After low simmering the appropriate amount of time that you deem , I take a teaspoon of the cooked jam out, stick it in the freezer for a couple of minutes and then take the teaspoon out to see if the consistency is what I would want in the end product. If so, take the skillet off the burner and let it sit till cool. 6. Then, you can put it in your jam jars and seal them with a canner—or you can put it in jars without sealing and refrigerate them. They’ll last quite awhile in the fridge without being sealed. However, in either case, I bet they won’t last long because this European way of making jam is so tasty. Are you a frustrated, overworked or timid cook?

Former Auctioneer Turns To Auction To Sell Her Homes Lichtenberg Auditions W P student spotlight
BY JONATHAN KANE
BY KAREN BOSSICK
olly Noe-Holland might have an above-average affinity for auctions, given her many years as an estate auctioneer. So, when it came time to sell her home in the Bellevue Triangle and a condo in Ketchum, she didn’t hesitate. She and her husband employed the services of J.P. King Auction. “Last month in Ketchum two multi-million dollar homes were sold by auctioneers who are major players in the world. At the J.P. King Auction, not one bidder was from Idaho, never mind Sun Valley. And concierge successfully auctioned a 16-acre house in Lake Creek. Both homes had been on the market for four or five years and both sold in a matter of weeks and the sellers were delighted with the results,” she said. Noe-Holland and her husband, who have moved to a continuing care facility in Medford, Ore., are entrusting the Gadsden, Ala.-based J.P. King Auction company to auction off their two properties on Saturday. The 9,000-square-foot ranch house on 20 acres south of Bellevue boasts three bedrooms, three-plus baths, an indoor lap pool, greenhouse and RV garage. It will be auctioned off at 11 a.m., along with three adjacent 20-acre lots. The two-bedroom, one-bath, fully furnished Leadville Terrace condo in downtown

Ketchum will be auctioned off at 5 p.m. Noe-Holland says it’s been a whirlwind since they made their decision. The company did a “beautifully done” video” on the properties, proudly featured them on its website and has run ads in The Wall Street Journal every Friday since, she said. “Once you advertise with them, you do nothing,” she said. J.P. King has handled the 15acre Hagadone estate overlooking Lake Coeur d’Alene, luxury lodges in Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry, as well as riverfront property in the Starweather subdivision north of Hailey, a Spanish Mediterranean house in Eagle, and a Whitetail Resort golf course home in McCall. Conversely, an Idaho rancher bought a Kenai river estate in
Alaska through the auction company. Noe-Holland allows that she and her husband are taking a risk by going this route. After all, one of the homes she cited was auctioned off for $1.3 million, versus the $3 million the homeowner had hoped to sell it for. But that home had not received an offer at that price in five years, she noted. “We could ask for a reserve. But, in my experience as an auctioneer, I’ve found you can do better without a minimum because more people come planning to bid one thing and end up adding to it as the bidding goes on,” she said. “Local realtors do a fine job. But in a sluggish market, new approaches are paying off.” tws

hat would it be like to try out for American Idol? Just ask Wood River High School senior Lauren Lichtenberg. Lichtenberg had that amazing opportunity this summer when she tried out in Los Angeles. “We moved to this Valley when I was eight, from L.A.,” she said. “All my family is there and we like to visit a lot. When we found out that that would be where the auditions were, my father had business in L.A. so we both went and I tried for it. You go into their offices at first and register and receive a wristband. There really weren’t as many people there as you’d think. You then had to wait a couple of days for the real audition. That took place at Dodger Stadium and we had to sit in the stands while there was a tent on the field holding all the producers. There were about 500 of us there and you just waited patiently for your name to be called. I sang unaccompanied and did Sunshine Song by Jason Mraz. The producers let me get about thirty seconds into it and then said ‘thank you’ and ‘no.’ Just a couple of people made it on to the next round.” Lichtenberg added, “It was a little depressing but I was really happy for the experience and I had no idea of what to expect. I was a little nervous but I’ve had so much experience singing in front of people and they were really nice so I just got up there and did it.” Of course, she’s not new to the party, as she has been singing and performing since sixth grade when she joined the school choir as an accompanist on piano, which she had been playing since the age of five. “I was a pretty accomplished player by that time but I learned that I love to sing. It felt really different in that I could express myself a lot more and it just felt right. It was a whole new musical experience. I knew I had a voice and decided to use it.” Lichtenberg is now spending her third year with the school’s all-girl jazz choir, Colla Voce. There are 14 girls in the group and you have to go through two sets of rigorous auditions to get in. “During the school week we practice three to five mornings a week before school begins. In the winter we work really hard because we carol everywhere, and the rest of the year we have three or four major performances.” In April of last year, Lichtenberg had the amazing opportunity to attend the Idaho All-State Conference in Coeur d’Alene. “We went for two days of eight-hour rehearsals and then the third day we performed for the teachers. You had to audition first and it was open to anyone in Idaho singing in a school choir. It’s like state for sports. Three students from Wood River were accepted and

“It [school choir] was a whole new musical experience I knew I had a voice and decided to use it.” –lauren lichtenberg I was so excited to get in. To be chosen among all the other kids competing from Idaho was a real honor. The second day of rehearsal we auditioned for the show, and on the third day I was awarded the solo. It was like winning first place. The performance itself went really great and it was in front of all the parents and the teachers. I never felt better about myself or more excited. I just felt really good and it was really rewarding and a confidence boost.” Singing will have to take a back seat in her future to a career in physical therapy. “I’ve just always loved the sciences more than English or history. In science and math there are formulas and laws so there can only be one answer—which I like a lot. Combine that with the fact that I have always loved medicine—I was in the medical technology academy at Wood River—and a career in physical therapy makes sense. Helping people is great and I’m not grossed out by the whole thing. I’m really intrigued by how the body works and it’s not like surgery. In physical therapy, you can really build relationships with people. You also make a big impact on people’s lives by helping them with their recovery.” You can be sure Lichtenberg will be making a big impact on any lives she touches. tws

Election Special BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR 103.7 KSKI
R
y Cooder has been mighty prolific of late; since 2005, the Grammy Award-winning guitarist and producer has released nearly an album a year. Over half of the seven discs are concept albums—a dying genre in the midst of the itunes-ification of the musical universe. His most recent, Election Special, is Cooder’s take on the contentious political season we find ourselves in the midst of, and boy is he pissed off, both as a musician and a citizen! For a man who once described himself to me as “a guy with a guitar who fell off a lettuce truck in Santa Monica,â€? Cooder has a fairly keen and acerbic opinion of the political climate, and he shares that by filtering it through his muse with nine rootsy songs that bite at the ankles of politicos on both sides of the fence. Election Special starts off with “Mutt Romney,â€? a blues song about the now-infamous trip with the Romneys taken from their dog Seamus’ point of view. Republicans need not fret, though; he also takes out his angst on promises made by Obama on “Guantanamoâ€? (â€œâ€Śyou can’t come back from Guantanamo‌â€?). His fury ranges from Wall Street and the 99 percent to the RNC in Tampa, and admittedly he’s no Woody Guthrie, but he makes his feelings pretty clear. Cooder’s left-leaning inclinations aside, this is an album that could have been recorded during the Great Depression by countless blues or folk artists, and its biting wit and perspective would make any tws politician wince.
Screen Door Porch to Hit Whiskey’s
The award-winning Screen Door Porch will brings it Americana/rootsrock music to Whiskey Jacques’ on Friday. The Jackson, Wyo., quartet will perform at 10 p.m. Friday. Cover is $5. The group recently recorded “The Fate & The Fruit,â€? with a kick-starter campaign that raised more than $4,000 to make the recording. It has already reached No. 21 on the EuroAmericana chart and has earned early praise from such sources as “The Alternate Root,â€? “Rootstimeâ€? and “The Mad Mackerel.â€? “They swap lead vocals to suit the song and songwriter, a sort of Lennon/ McCartney arrangement, and get it right every time‌ This is the sound of America, untamed and infinite,â€? said a reviewer for “Americana UK.â€? The group features a variety of instruments, including banjo, mandolin, kazoogle and, occasionally, a Samsonite suitcase kick-drum. The group’s debut album, “Screen Door Porch,â€? made five “Best Ofâ€? lists, including NPR’s Best of Wyoming. The album climbed to No. 16 on the Roots music Report Folk chart alongside Bob Dylan.

Steve vai’s tour dazzles STORY & PHOTO BY LESLIE THOMPSON
M
usic lovers made the trip from as far away as Salt Lake City and Bozeman, Mont., last Wednesday night when they came to see the Grammy Award-winning, six-string wizard, Steve Vai, in concert at Boise’s Knitting Factory. Thirty-two years ago this month, Vai took the stage with Frank Zappa. Since then, his journey has included recording with other big names, including David Lee Roth, as well as many solo releases. Last week, fans were reminded why his string-bending career has lasted so long. Vai’s guitar riffs resonated with the sounds of the amazing song Weeping China Doll from his new album, The Story of Light, as well as some of his older songs, like Whispering a Prayer. At one point, Vai told the audience they were going to play a song that was so new, they hadn’t even recorded it yet. He said he would need a volunteer from the audience, and 10-year-old Mankato Thompson, of Carey, was plucked from the crowd to take the stage aside the rock legend and create a song. Vai helped Thompson come up with a line to play for each band member, then rejoined the crowd, where the audience watched in amazement as Vai quickly directed his band on how they were going to compose the

piece and then they performed it. Along with the numerous guitars he brought with him, Vai also had an incredible band, including—for the first time ever in his ensemble—an electric harpist. Vai proudly promoted each artist’s individual efforts throughout the show. The opening act was Beverly McClellan, whose name you might recognize from the first season of The Voice. McClellan’s earthy blues, created with her voice, guitar and piano, brought cheers from the audience. For those who missed the show, the window of time is closing, as this Saturday is Vai’s last date in the U.S. before he begins the European leg of his tour. However, his performance this Friday, Oct. 12 at Club Nokia in L.A., will be broadcast live on

ntonio MuĂąoz traded his size 13 football cleats Saturday for high heels. The Wood River High School football player then walked a couple of blocks in them to take a stand against domestic violence. He was glad he did it, but he was equally glad he doesn’t have to “walk a mile in her shoesâ€? every day. “High heels hurt!â€? he said. “Coach told us about this at football practice and I said ‘Okay.’ Violence is a learned behavior and we need to stop it.â€? MuĂąoz was one of dozens of adults and youngsters who turned out Saturday morning to take part in The Advocates’ Fifth Annual Walk the Walk in Hailey. The walk attracted a number of football players, including Leo Corrales, Jesse Santos Vercelli and Travis Swanson, who scribbled phrases like “Walking for Womenâ€? on T-shirts. “We’re doing this because we

magine if the hysteria that took place around the Salem witch trials had taken place, instead, today, with Facebook and Twitter. Could it have possibly been any more vitriolic? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the question Wood River High School thespians ponder as they present Arthur Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crucibleâ&#x20AC;? tonight through Saturday in the new Wood River High School Performing Arts Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are different today yet very similar,â&#x20AC;? said Drake Arial, who portrays John Proctor, a farmer who hesitates to expose the instigator as a fraud because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having an affair with her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the social media in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society, reputations can be hurt very quickly. And once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there, it snowballs, getting bigger and bigger.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crucible,â&#x20AC;? which won the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, is based on an incident that occurred in 1692 in Salem, Mass. Several girls fell victim to seizures and hallucinations and blamed it on neighbors who, they said, were consorting with the devil. The town became gripped with hysteria, convicting 19 people and two dogs of witchcraft. Pulitzer Prize-winning Arthur Miller wrote the play in the early 1950s as a retort to McCarthyism, a modern-day witch hunt during which Congress hunted down suspected Communists, who were in turn encouraged to identify other Communist sympathizers to escape punishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based on true events that happened back then makes it interesting,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor Lenane, who plays Abigail Williams, who sets the hysteria in motion when she accuses John Proctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Elizabeth of witchcraft and devil worship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The play showed how the spreading of rumors through word of mouth and Facebook can pick up and get worse and worse,â&#x20AC;? said Hayden Mann, who portrays Rev. Hale, a young
minister reputed to be an expert on witchcraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows we have to stick to our morals.â&#x20AC;? Drama teacher Karl Nordstrom said his theater appreciation class read the treatise on bigotry and deceit last year as part of a focus on great playwrights such as Miller, Tennessee Williams and Eugene Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill. The students decided they wanted to stage the play. It is the first time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a work by a major playwright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough play, with meaty diction. But it has relevance, given the idea of reputations being tarnished and ruined by false accusations,â&#x20AC;? said Nordstrom, who is including a few Wood River middle School students in the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hilarie Neely has designed the lights, which students will run. Julie Fox choreographed the opening dance scene. And Nancy Harakay worked on the costumes, which were loaned to us by Winkie McCray. Without her, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had a play that looked as authentic.â&#x20AC;?

Weaver to Share Dolly With Crowd at the Folklife Fair BY KAREN BOSSICK
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;T
ricia had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. And come this Saturday, to the Folklife Fair sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be fun for the kids,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Weaver, who plans to take Dolly to the Trailing of the Sheep Folklife Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Roberta McKercher Park in Hailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get near the wild sheep. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to give Dolly carrots and pet her.â&#x20AC;? Patricia Weaver gained a ewe quite by accident two winters ago when she came home from work and spotted it in her yard north of Hailey in early December. The ewe, which had been separated from its clan as they trailed down the valley, was trying to dig through the snow into the grass. Fearing the sheep would get
eaten if left to fend for itself, Weaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Winn Weaver ran outside to tackle it. Winn had earned an Athlete of the Year award in the early 1990s at Wood River High School for his football prowess. But, still, he gave his daughter and mother a good laugh as they followed him from window to window in the house watching him try to tackle the animal. Weaver posted a description of the lamb in the newspaper but no one claimed it. She gave the ewe to a Carey youngster to include in his 4-H project last winter. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used it for a lawnmower the rest of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I move her from time to timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we had to mow once this past summer,â&#x20AC;? Pat said. Weaver calls Dolly her little miracle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing thing that she got this far alive.â&#x20AC;? tws

Dear Classified Guys, I slap mud onto walls for a living, not real mud, but joint compound. I'm one of those guys that finish drywall. Yes it's messy, but the work is pretty steady considering I work independently. Most of my clients are homeowners who see my ad in the classifieds and then want me to help finish a room they started or hang drywall in the addition they're building. The problem is that just about every homeowner I meet complains about money, their mortgage, the cost of living, and oh yeah, my rate! I'm priced less than all of my competitors, but my clients still want me to cut my price so they can save a few bucks. To be honest, I'm not very good at fielding complaints so I usually give them a break, even though they live in a nicer house than mine. Any suggestions on how I should be handling these customers?

money you have, it never seems like enough. And sadly, many homeowners tend to overextend themselves. Although some of your customers may simply be trying to get the best price they can. Carry: I can't blame them. I'm

Before World War II the interior walls of most houses were finished using a process called lath and plaster. Not only was the method a lot of work, but it often took weeks to apply, longer if the weather was damp. Although a type of drywall was developed in 1916 by the United States Gypsum Company, it didn't catch on until the government needed a faster and cheaper method to build military structures. Today, drywall is the standard in the home construction industry with the average new home using over 7.3 metric tons.
Savings Education
If you feel like you're living paycheck to paycheck, you're not alone. According to some surveys, more than 50% of people don't save their money. A test given to 1000 individuals by the The Consumer Literacy Consortium found that most people have poor knowledge when it comes to saving money and consumer purchasing. In fact, the average score was 53%. Only 38% were able to choose the best life insurance policy and a mere 9% knew how to find the best price on funerals. Fortunately, about 75% understood that missing a credit card payment could increase your annual interest rate.

I took them to a few houses in their price range, but each time the wife complained that the homes were too small and the husband complained that they were too expensive. Finally, I brought them to a house that was outside their price range to see what they thought. The wife immediately commented, "I love it! Let's go see the kitchen." "Why bother," her husband complained. "With the mortgage payment on this place, there's no way we could afford food." (Thanks to Lee M.)

BUCKAROO PROJECT, from page 1 sions in what is now California, then fanned out into the Great Basin of Idaho, Nevada and Oregon in the early 1800s. One buckaroo started supplying milk and butter for the miners in Silver City and then branched out into cows, Scott said. While buckaroos in Idaho are found most often in Owyhee County, they do occupy other areas, such as Salmon and Gold Fork near Cascade. Buckaroos can be distinguished from cowboys by the flat-topped hats, which protect them from the sun more than cowboy hats; colorful scarves made of silk that are warm in winter and cooling in summer; long-sleeved, button-down shirts, flashy spurs and other silver accessories. They use mecate reins that hearken back to the old Spanish style. And they cinch their horses differently so that someone can pull the cinch of someone who’s gotten hung up in the saddle, immediately releasing the saddle. “It’s all about survival and safety because often they’re all alone in vast country,” said Scott. “There’s a saying: You know you’re in buckaroo country because the bottom of the fence is missing. Buckaroos don’t do anything they can’t do on a horse—it’s all about horsemanship for them.” Born in Shoshone, Scott spent part of her youth on a family ranch in Montana where she walked through snow tunnels forged by bitter Canadian winds to help with the cattle. She was introduced to Idaho buckaroos during a video shoot for Simplot Corp. When a photograph she took won an award, she began taking more. “People were enthralled by the pictures. That made me realize I can help these buckaroos tell their story, preserve their way of life,” said Scott, who earned a master’s degree at Boise State University studying English writing and photography. Scott’s photos at The Center include those of the weathered hand of a buckaroo that has never used a moisturizer, and Tana Gilbert, a tough old hen who lives in a cow camp eight months a year, who medicated herself for a rattlesnake bite with whiskey, and was back to riding two days after an appendicitis attack. “I don’t take it lightly that they let me in their lives. I take these relationships seriously,” Scott said. On a shoot for The Idaho Statesman a couple of years ago, Scott told columnist Tim Woodward that she hated to go back to civilization “because my heart opens up in a way here it doesn’t anywhere else.” “Tim looked at me and said, ‘This is your job,’ ” Scott recalled. Actually, it’s more a labor of love, just as herding cows is for the buckaroos. Buckaroos have always been very resourceful, making what they need with what’s at hand, including rope out of horsehair or bailing twine.

This is the picture that launched Andrea Scott’s Idaho Buckaroo Project. Scott said the buckaroos came to the Great Basin with a couple of large cattle herds coming into the area. It’s more difficult to be a buckaroo in colder environments like Montana, she added, because there you have to break horses quickly rather than taking a horse through a different system of bits, which takes a lot of time. courtesy photo
Many subsidize their meager income making saddles, reins, bits, buckles and jewelry. “They don’t make much money but the trade-off is they get to live in quiet and don’t have anyone around to tell them what to do,” Scott said. One of Scott’s most cherished moments is when she was able to get whitewater rafters together with buckaroos for a showing of “Buck” at The Flicks Theatre in Boise. “I’m not a political person. I just want people to sit down and talk. It’s not just about driving cows off the land. It’s about driving families off the land,” she said. “There’s nothing romantic about the life of a buckaroo… it’s long days, dust... but it’s their life.” tws

Is Life Insurance Part of Your Financial Plan? By Patrick Buchanan State Farm® Agent
Y
ou may think you have a solid financial plan. The paycheck you bring home on a regular basis may be adequate to meet the immediate needs of your family. There may even be enough left over for some of the “funner” things in life, vacation, retirement and even college savings. But what if you weren’t there to continue to provide for your family’s needs? Would they continue to live in the same home? Would your children be able to attend the school of their choice? Would your loved ones be able to keep the plans and dreams you

had hoped for? These are important questions that must be considered. Finding the answers can start with a no-obligation needs analysis and discussing a life insurance policy that is appropriate for you and your family. September is declared Life Insurance Awareness Month (sponsored by LIFE® a non-profit organization), a time for you to take a look at your existing coverage to see if it is adequate. If you don’t have coverage, it is a good time to discuss starting a policy. A primary purpose of a life insurance policy is to provide a dollar amount to the beneficiaries in the event of the death

of the insured person. That death benefit can be used in any number of ways, whether for a mortgage, college or income. Life is full of many questions. Being sure that your financial plan includes an adequate amount of life insurance can help you answer at least one question, “What will happen to my family if I am not around to tws provide for them?”
