Hailey’s Halloween Hoopla is second only to Hailey’s Fourth of July celebration in the number of participants it draws, said Yellow Brick Road Owner Kim Garvin.

Five Days of Halloween PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

C

hildren and adults alike are invited to perform a little practical magic at the first ever Witches Tea in the Wood River Valley. Zombie fans are invited to dress up like zombies and parade through town, dragging their feet, casting blank stares at passers-by and moaning up a storm on the Valley’s first Zombie Walk. And Calvary Baptist Church and other local churches will offer their annual Fall Harvest Festival for those who want to have fun without rubbing shoulders with pint-sized devils with horns on their heads. It’s all part of five days of Halloween revelry. Here’s a rundown:

THURSDAY

WITCHES TEA - Parents and their children are invited to don pointy hats and point their broomsticks to a free Witches Tea from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Inn at Ellsworth Estate, 715 S. 3rd Ave., Hailey. The event is “a little spirit rally” to get ready for Halloween, said Chamber spokesperson Geegee Lowe. It will include a chance to exercise some practical magic decorating cookies and trick-or-treat bags. A witch’s brew of tea and cider will be served, along with other treats. And there’ll be a scavenger hunt, as well. The Witches Tea is actually an old tradition that started back East in 1908, said Kim Garvin, who owns the Yellow Brick Road. That tea has inspired dozens around the country, including one organized by the Black Hat Society for three years running at Earl Holding’s Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. “We just thought it would be a fun way to expand our Halloween Hoopla,” said Garvin.

FRIDAY

ZOMBIE WALK - Fans of the drooling undead yearning to eat living flesh are invited to make a spectacle of themselves as they parade from the Hailey Cemetery to Albertsons from 7 to 9 p.m. Organizer Karen Brown said she got the idea from an annual Zombie Walk that Boise has had for the past six years. “It seemed like a really fun idea. Just another reason to get all gored up!” she said. “I personally have a zombie fascination and love dressing up, when at all possible, so I decided to throw my own Zombie Walk. I already have around 20 people besides myself who plan on doing it.”

edson Blue Waters likes to live life on the edge. The edge of a concrete skate park, that is. Nothing’s as sweet to this 9-year-old as standing on the lip of a skate park bowl as he anticipates how he’ll drop in and sail across its flowing contours, around the 16-foot-diameter concrete pipe and up its 14-foot vert wall. At 4-foot-2 and 75 pounds, this Woodside Elementary fourth-grader powered by Vitamin Water, chocolate ice cream and his Mom’s fried chicken is a national champion on a skateboard. He’s been besting skateboarders older than himself at just about every competition he’s entered since he was 6, including the Concrete Rodeo Nationals. Barely any kid his own age has a chance once he’s performed a couple air-to-fakies, 360s, alley oops and axel stalls in which he hangs off the edge of the concrete rim. That distinction earmarked Jedson and his skate park buddy Ben Parker a place in the Sun Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Fun Never Sets campaign a couple years ago, along with other Sun Valley champions like mountain biker Rebecca Rusch, American Birkebeiner winner Kate Whitcomb, Olympic skier Morgan Arritola and X Games gold medalists Reggie and Zach Crist. And when City of Hailey broke ground on its new rodeo arena and ice rink last year in a project that doubled the size of the skate park, officials asked Jedson to represent the skate park at its ground breaking. “He doesn’t just put his board on the edge and drop in like most skateboarders do. He’ll skate along the edge and do an air off side to allow him to dive in with more momentum. Things like that — that no one else really does,” said his father Lamar Waters. “He does things a lot of people try to do but don’t. There’s a rule in skateboarding you have to do something three times in a row to own the trick. And he does these things 99 percent of the time.” Jedson has been joined at the hip to a skateboard since he was a toddler

when his parents Lamar and Karen bought him a Walmart board to push around the house. When he was 5 he spotted the Hailey skateboard park — one of more difficult parks there is — as his parents were driving down the highway. “Stop!” he exclaimed. “I want to see what they’re doing!” Jedson watched for a half-hour and begged his parents to take him home to get his own skateboard. The park has been his home away from home ever since. “I can easily spend eight hours at a time here when school’s not in session,” said Jedson, who tucks his head full of tousled curls under a powder blue helmet covered in Board Bin and other logos. “My favorite is the 360—it’s like spinning through the air.” At first, he learned by watching the older boys who took him under their wing. Some of his best friends have already graduated from high school. As he began outgrowing their tricks, he turned to videos featuring Tony Hawk and other top skateboarding athletes. “Tony Hawk—he’s crazy, real crazy,” said Jedson, who’s also seen Hawk in person. “Huge tricks. Unbelievable.” Now, Jedson is coming up with his own tricks, winning the admiration of skate park visitors and his father, who makes the trek to the skate park every day to watch his son. “I’ll come even if I’m in a walker,” said Lamar. “I love to watch him. He’s like an Olympic ice skater—he makes it look effortless.” Though there’s no place he’d rather be then the skate park, Jedson does appear to be as well rounded as the skate park’s contours. He plays hockey, skies freestyle and even won Rotarun’s Arkoosh Cup in his age group last February. And he’s a good student, as well, reading at nearly sixth grade level in third grade. But all that takes second place to the concrete at the curve of the highway. “I love it here because I meet people from everywhere,” he said. “And I like seeing how good other people are. I like seeing if they can beat me, if I can beat them.” tws

Late Fall After School - 2nd-5th Graders @ COURTESY PHOTO: LOGAN SCHNEIDER

BY KAREN BOSSICK

L

ynsey Dyer felt a chill come over her as the armored vehicle passing her came to a screeching halt and 10 men began climbing out of the roof of the vehicle, guns in hand. Certain she was in trouble, she began putting her camera away. Wrong move. “Turned out, they just wanted a picture,” said Dyer. That moment may have been a little more than the 1999 Wood River High School graduate bargained for when she and fellow skier Lel Tone agreed to take part in the latest Warren Miller winter film. But it was also part of the reason she was in India, skiing in the Kashmir region of northwestern India. “I had an opportunity to go there four years ago and people said it was too dangerous for a woman. So I got fired up,” said Dyer. “Americans are taught to be afraid of the Kashmir people. But they were very sweet and excited to have us.” At 27, Dyer has been Powder Magazine’s Female Skier of the Year and won every big-mountain competition she’s entered, including the overall Extreme skiing tour in 2005. The former Sun Valley ski racer has designed a signature line of clothing and ski graphics for Rossignol and Eddie Bauer, hosted shows for NBC and ESPN and co-founded the non-profit She Jumps to get girls into outdoor sports. Dyer will be on hand to help introduce Warren Miller’s 62nd winter film “…Like There’s No Tomorrow,” when it shows Oct. 28 and 29 at the Sun Valley Opera House. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday. Dyer says this is her favorite of the five Warren Miller films she’s been in. “It’s always a little nervewracking to do these movies because you work really hard and hope you get good stuff and then you sit back and wait to see how it came out. I think this segment is really beautiful. And it’s a huge honor to me to be in the opening.” This wasn’t Dyer’s first trip to India. She’s taken bikes to povertystricken kids in India, teaching them how to maintain and ride them on behalf of 88Bikes.org. She’s volunteered with a group that worked with kids who’d been in the slave trade. And she spent three weeks in an Ayurvedic medicine clinic learning about herbal medicines, yoga, meditation, bodywork, cleansing

FLICK FACTS

This year’s Warren Miller film transports viewers to Tuckerman Ravine in New Hampshire where Chris Davenport uses ice picks to climb up Mount Washington so he can ski a steep icy pitch scoured by hurricane-force winds. It shows Andy Mahre and Tyler Ceccanti poofing their way down towering marshmallow pillows of snow in British Columbia’s Monashees. It sports snow-covered rooftops and jungle gyms transformed into the ultimate jibber paradise and it profiles Daron Rahlves’ Banzai Downhill. It depicts a skier jumping out of a helicopter into a swimming pool in Portillo, Chile. And it features Seth Wescott, Tim Durtschi and Kip Garre—who lost his life last spring in a ski accident—challenging gravity on endless spines of the Chugach Mountains in Cordova, Alaska.

and age-old nutrition to balance body, mind and spirit. Her latest film features her skiing across the disputed border of Pakistan and India as she makes first descents through steep chutes and couloirs just 70 kilometers from where Osama bin Laden was eventually found. The mountains, which sported a plethora of snow monkeys, stretch 15,000 feet into the sky, making Alaska’s mountains seem like a cornfield. “We realized how high we were when the helicopter pilot put on an oxygen mask,” she said. Dyer said she felt a little out of her comfort zone given the vast differences between India and Jackson, Wyo., where she now makes her home. “But once I got to the mountains, once I saw the snow, I felt right at home. The common denominator is the snow and the mountains. And we had exceptional snow when I was there.” tws

Don Giovanni Live in HD This Saturday

This Saturday, Oct. 29 at 10:55 a.m., the Sun Valley Opera, in cooperation with Metropolitan Theatres, will screen Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni in HD. This is part of The Metropolitan Opera’s Peabody and Emmy Awardwinning series The Met: Live in HD which continues for its sixth season, featuring 11 live transmissions. The date chosen by The Metropolitan Opera to present its new production of Don Giovanni is appropriate, since it was first performed on October 29, 1787 in Prague and was received with great acclaim. The two-act opera has become a staple of operatic repertoire and appears as number seven on the Operabase list of the most-performed operas worldwide. Mariusz Kwiecien brings his interpretation of Mozart’s timeless anti-hero to The Met for the first time. Tickets may be purchased at the Big Wood 4 Cinema in Hailey when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m. General admission tickets are $22 and seniors are $20.

Oklahoma! Begins Thursday BY KAREN BOSSICK

“O

klahoma!� will come sweeping into The Community School Theatre this week as a cast of 28 performs the popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. The play starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with an additional matinee at 2 p.m. Saturday. “Laughing Stock Theatre Company did this in 1992 at the Sun Valley Opera House and it’s been one of my favorite ever since,� said Patsy Wygle, who was recently appointed as Upper School theater director with her husband Keith Moore. “It’s an iconic musical that changed so much of American theater. It’s very funny but it has its dark side and bad guy, as well. And it does address the social problems of its time.� The musical has been performed by an all-female revue in Japan, on screen with Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones, and in three Broadway revivals. It features the box supper romance of a handsome cowboy named Curley and a winsome farm girl named Laurey. The musical features such songs as “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’,� “Surrey with Fringe On Top,� “People Will Say We’re in Love� and, of course, “Oklahoma!� “Oklahoma!�—its most famous song—wasn’t originally in the show but was written to give it a big closing number. Only it ended up being used in the middle,� said Wygle. At first, The Community School Theatre students were

But they warmed to the idea as they realized how much they actually had in common with the teen-agers in the musical, which was first produced in 1943 and played for an unprecedented 2,212 performances on Broadway, winning two Pulitzer prizes and 35 Tony awards. “In its day, it was panned by critics as too avant-garde. It had its risquĂŠ moments,â€? said Wygle. “It was also considered the birth of the modern American musical with songs that furthered the plot.â€?

This year’s Crosstoberfest will be held Saturday and Sunday and will feature a bicycle cyclo-cross course through and around the Sagewillow Barn in Elkhorn. And the beer festival will feature seasonal beers from around the world with Oktoberfest-inspired food provided by PowerHouse in Hailey. Of course, it’ll have all the excitement of previous cyclo-cross races with competitors coming from throughout southern Idaho to race short-lap courses on grass with obstacles requiring cyclists to dismount and carry their bikes. The first race—men’s category 4 and 45-plus Masters starts at 11 a.m. followed by the Women’s Right at noon. The Shimano Youth series for those 6 and under starts at 12:50 followed by the youth series for those 9 and under at 1 p.m. and those 12 and under at 1:10 p.m. The Men’s Category 1, 2 and 3 and 35-plus Masters starts at 1:30 p.m. and the Juniors and First Timers will end the day at 2:40 p.m. Entry fee is $20 per race and just $15 for juniors and first-timers. The racecourse is located at the Sagewillow Barn in Elkhorn. From the south, drive north on Highway 75 to Elkhorn Road, turn right onto Elkhorn Road and drive two miles to Morning Star Road. Turn right and take an immediate left onto Arrowleaf Road. The main sponsors for the event are PowerHouse, Scotts USA and Smith Sport Optics, said Carson Johnston, special events coordinator for the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance. tws

Tewa Evans’ Native American Classes BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

ewa Evans grew up in the Longhouse Culture where she celebrated the traditional four-season holidays of the Iroquois and gleaned lessons and insight from a matriarchal society. “Shesends” Evans, an elder in the Mohawk tribe and a member of the Bear Clan, has never forgotten. And, periodically, she tries to share the things her elders taught her. Evans will do so again this Saturday, Oct. 29, and Sunday, Nov. 6, when she presents two day-long Native American classes for youth. The classes, held at 21 Deer Creek Road north of Hailey, will feature Iroquois history and storytelling in tipi gatherings, an opportunity to create traditional craftwork and a chance to play Indian games, dance, drum, eat bison stew and receive a personal Mohawk name. Evans will also teach the Native American perspective of Mother Earth and man’s responsibility to the earth and its creatures. “I’m a storyteller in the oral tradition. I tell fables and myths

with a message,” said Evans. “I’ve been doing this so long that some of my former students now have families of their own.” Evans was born on the Kanawake reservation in the Mohawk Territory of Quebec, Canada. She proudly recounts how members of her tribe featured the ironworkers who helped build the World Trade Center. Many of these men assisted with the recovery efforts in the wake of 9-11 because they knew the building so well. “The United States was fashioned after our confederacy. Ben Franklin thought it was fascinating to study what they’d done,” said Evans. Evans organized the first Native American powwow in the U.S. Virgin Islands, teaching the islanders about Native American tradition, values and culture. She says most history books teach about Native Americans from a European perspective. She hopes to broaden her students’ perspectives as she teaches about how the Iroquois lived then and now. “Racial tension is a real issue in the world right now. My intention is to tell kids we’re all roots from the same tree. Look into a

culture before you make up your mind,” she says. In addition to sharing her native foods and traditions, Evans says she will lead the students in creating talking sticks with shells and feathers. Talking sticks are used in communication circles—whoever has the stick has the privilege of speaking without fear of interruption from others. “It’s my hope the students can take them home and use them with their families, as well,” said Evans. Each daylong workshop is $65 and open to third- through seventh-graders. Information: 788-1118. tws

Friday is National Weatherization Day Are You Prepared?

O

ctober 28 is National Weatherization Day! While you make preparations to keep the ghouls and goblins outside your home, make sure to take some time to keep the warm air inside your home this winter. Simple ways to save both energy and money include: Check for Leaks. Weatherstripping and caulking is probably the least expensive, simplest, and most effective way to cut down on energy waste in the winter. Improperly sealed homes can waste 10 to 15 percent of a homeowner’s heating dollars. Seal all leaks and drafts in doors and windows. Remember, every duct, wire or pipe that penetrates the wall or ceiling or floor has the potential to waste energy. Close the damper on your fireplace—it’s an effective energy-saving tip that costs you nothing! Check and Improve your Insulation. Check your Heating System. Get a routine maintenance and inspection of your heating system each autumn to make sure it is in good working order. Replace your heater’s air filter monthly. Use a programmable thermostat. Force heated air back down by reversing the switch on your ceiling fans. Make sure all heating vents are opened and unblocked by furniture or other items. For more energy-saving tips check out: http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/tips/winterize. html. tws Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

ohn Glenn’s beloved stuffed rabbit is threadbare. And Denise Simone’s prized monkey from her childhood is worn. But the schoolchildren don’t see that as they spot them behind the glass case at The Liberty Theatre. They see the promise, the beauty, the realness. And they ask: “Are they for sale?� In similar fashion, the 1,400 school children from Woodside, Bellevue and Fairfield elementary schools, the Mountain School and Montessori are looking past marionette strings to see puppets come to life during Company of Fools’ student matinees of “The Velveteen Rabbit� at The Liberty Theatre. And adults are getting sucked into the magic of Margery Williams’ 1922 childhood classic just as the children are. Per Janson and Scott Creighton manipulate the Velveteen Rabbit and Skin Horse so artfully that it’s easy to believe at times that it’s the giant hand puppets doing the talking, rather than the actors. Logan Smith, a student at the Sage School, stirs the imaginings of childhood adventure as he takes his beloved Velveteen Rabbit over rough seas and through turbulent air. And Jana Arnold plays Nana so comfortably it’s hard to imagine she has another life. There’s no question that the Velveteen Rabbit has captured the imagination and warmed the cockles of generations as it tells of the transforming power of love through an enchanting story about a boy who finds a Velveteen Rabbit in his Christmas stocking. What else could have provoked Hailey resident Sherry Thorson to turn the velveteen fabric on her sofa into velveteen rabbits for her grandchildren when she replaced the old sofa with a new

What else could have provoked Judith Smooke to suggest to the Company of Fools board that they send each of the children who attended one of the matinees home with a brand new copy of “The Velveteen Rabbit� that they could read again and again—eventually to their own children and grandchildren?

arie Cochran wheeled her daughter Emma through the ski swap Saturday afternoon. “It was the only way I could keep her still,� Mom said. Emma, a 10-year-old skier with Sun Valley Adaptive Sports, is looking forward to being back on Dollar Mountain after having learned to use poles last year. The ski swap, a fundraiser for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, attracted a big crowd of early-birders on Friday who even perused such antiques as Nowax Mohair Skilom skis selling for $10. The crowd tapered off on Saturday as unseasonably warm temperatures tempted outdoor lovers to enjoy activities far removed from skiing and boarding.

hat is your plan for the winter? With frost on the ground in the morning, the topic of conversation with my clients and friends at the gym is often the weather. So I started thinking about how the weather in our area affects our moods more than in any other place I have lived. One reason is that we have about eight months of winter, so that means less light and more cold. It is always good to have a plan no matter what you are up against in life, and it’s a good time to start making winter plans. For instance, how are you going to get the most of the light we have? Plan to get out when you can. Take a walk or ski or snowshoe. Join a class this winter or a book club. It needs to be something that gets you out with other people and that you enjoy doing. We have so much to offer in our Valley that you usually just have to look to find something you like. You can start a weekly activity that interests you with your friends. If you have time for a vacation, visit friends and relatives out of the Valley, even if it’s for a weekend. It is always nice to come home, and we seem to appreciate our Valley more when we have been away. Some of us have a harder time even thinking of these things. It could be that you have seasonal affective disorder, commonly known as SAD. This is a type of disorder that tends to occur and recur as the days grow shorter in the fall and winter.

Photo: KAREN BOSSICK/SUN

Connie Love It is believed that affected people react adversely to the decreasing amounts of sunlight and the colder temperatures as the fall and winter progress. Some of the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder are tiredness, depression, crying spells, irritability, trouble concentrating, body aches, loss of sex drive, decreased activity levels and overeating, especially of carbohydrates. The symptoms of seasonal affective disorder typically begin in the fall each year and last until spring. The symptoms are more intense during the darkest months. If you feel you have seasonal affective disorder, see your doctor and discuss whether you need an antidepressant during the winter months. If these symptoms do not describe you, then begin to work on your own winter plan. Start now before we see the beautiful snowflakes. tws

SUSAN LITTLEFIELD

Avid weekly paper reader, Susan Littlefield, who has lived in the Valley for over 35 years, claims that laughter is the best medicine. She creates these scenarios in her husbands N-scale model railroad.

’m always a little leery when an actor decides to take a foray into the music business, but after his Oscar-winning performance in 2009’s Crazy Heart, Jeff Bridges apparently has paid his dues. This August saw the release of his selftitled CD, which came out on Blue Note Records, known for the jazzier end of the musical spectrum. This twang-tinged album may not fit the mold for the label’s prior releases, but it definitely exceeds most expectations for actors who cross over to the music field. Crazy Heart set the stage for Bridges’ new album—an acoustic journey through the quieter side of country music. Alongside him for the trip are producer T-Bone Burnett, Rosanne Cash, Sam Phillips, Marc Ribot, and fellow Oscar-winner Ryan Bingham— not bad traveling companions when you’re exploring the more sublime side of Americana. T-Bone Burnett’s analog knobtwiddling gives the sound both polish and grit, something he’s been known for since his work

with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on the phenomenal Raising Sand. As well as penning his own songs, Bridges covers Stephen Bruton, Greg Brown and John Goodwin, who wrote the songs Bad Blake sang on Crazy Heart. Believe me, this is not character acting at its finest. From the opening song, “What A Little Bit Of Love Can Do,” to “The Quest,” the mournful lament that finishes the disc, Bridges proves that, actor or not, his place at that present moment in time was meant to be behind the microphone. tws

aseball has a unique place in American culture. Unlike the other professional sports, like football and basketball, which have undergone major transformations over the last fifty years, baseball has hardly changed a lick for most of the past century. It’s one of the most cherished aspects of the game treasured by purists. Another thing about baseball that purists love is that the game is not run by a clock but unfurls at a pace all its own. The same thing can be said about the new movie Moneyball that comes in at two hours and twenty minutes, but can seem like a beautiful day at the ballpark. The film, directed by Bennet Miller, whose debut was the exceptional Capote, tackles a subject not really seen much in the movies – statistics. It tells the story of the 2001 Oakland A’s and their remarkable rise from last to a serious contender and their driven general manager, Billy Beane. When your opponents have $115 million to spend, and you have a mere $40 million, you’re in trouble. Enter Bill James, who in 1977 started to preach a new way of analyzing talent that turned the world of scouting and player evaluations on its head. Beane, with the assistance of a Yale nerd, becomes the first to embrace James’s philosophy of searching for

undervalued talent. It is a decision that puts his livelihood on the line but turns into a stirring 20-game winning streak. The bottom line was that Moneyball worked and Beane became a prophet. Beane is played marvelously by Brad Pitt, who also produced the project and, being the astute star that he is, he has picked a winner. Great support comes from Jonah Hill as the Yale nerd that doesn’t leave Pitt’s side, and along for the ride is the excellent Philip Seymour Hoffman as the resistant manager. In the years since, Beane has not faired as well, but the Boston Red Sox won two World Series after hiring James as a consultant. As Moneyball proves, sports films don’t have to be riddled with the same ‘win the big game’ heroics as we always see. It can instead be a thrilling character study that highlights the beauty of the game. tws

aylight is getting shorter and it all has to do with calculus. The sun’s most direct rays that encounter the earth follow an oscillating path throughout the year. Sketched onto the earth, this path forms what is known as a sinusoidal curve, with the equator at its center, and the Tropic of Cancer (23 1/2 degrees north latitude) its maximum and Tropic of Capricorn (23 1/2 degrees south latitude) its minimum. On the first day of autumn (September 23 this year), the sun’s direct rays hit the equator, marking the vernal equinox. Now for calculus. The rate at which we lose or gain daylight is related to the location of the sun’s direct rays on this sinusoidal path. Currently, we are losing daylight at the fastest rate (approximately 3 minutes per day) because the rate of decline is at a maximum. On the winter solstice (December 21), when the direct rays hit the Tropic of Capricorn, the rate of decline is zero and we stop losing daylight hours. Then, the rate at which we gain daylight increases. So when it is still dark when you get out of bed in the morning, just remember, it all has to tws do with calculus.

Jackson Long Talks About Cycling and School on cycling

“I was originally attracted to the sport because my dad did it. I had also tried mountain biking but not competitively. I just enjoyed road biking a lot more.” on education

BY JONATHAN KANE

R

oad bike racing is a tough sport. Combining aspects of fitness, endurance and strategy, it can push a competitor to his furthest limits. Just ask soft-spoken Wood River High School senior Jackson Long. Long started competing at the age of 12 and has worked his way up to being part of a Portland-based team and has traveled throughout the Northwest, as well as attending the nationals in Los Angeles and Augusta, Georgia, and this summer Europe and Belgium – all against older and stronger men. “I was originally attracted to the sport because my dad did it. I had also tried mountain biking but not competitively. I just enjoyed road biking a lot more. There is a lot of strategy involved and you have to be much more tactical in road racing.” Starting at age 12 had its problems because of

Ketchum Comprehensive Plan Project

The City of Ketchum is embarking on a very important project in the upcoming year—“Planning Our Common Future”—a rewrite of the Ketchum Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan turns community visions and values into a roadmap for its future, complete with an outline for action. Joyce Allgaier, Ketchum’s planning manager, is managing this project. The process is beginning with a kickoff event, “Planning Our Common Future,” from 6 to 8 p.m. this Wednesday, Oct. 26 at River Run Lodge. An engaging speaker from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Chris Gates will host this all-community forum. A past president of the National Civic League, Chris is a thought leader in the fields of democratic theory and practice and political and civic engagement. For more info, contact Joyce at 727-5084.

the lack of events in the Valley. “Pretty much my dad had to take me to Boise to compete. But today there is a lot of competition and a lot of good junior racers. A typical race has over a hundred competitors and the race can be anywhere from 50 to 80 miles. Of course, living here is fantastic for training and a typical workout would be to go from Ketchum over Galena Summit to Smiley Creek and back. An actual event pushes the racers through three disciplines. First, there is the time trial against the clock, then there is the criterium, which is an hour-long race where you do laps around an oval or a square, and then the road race. I like the road race the most because there is a lot of climbing and that’s what I do best.” Long added, “I love climbing because it enables me to get into a rhythm and because it’s so difficult it weeds out the competition.” Recently, he won a race in Washington State.

“It was so gratifying and exciting. The course was very difficult and the race was in the pouring rain. There was also a lot of climbing and the rain really made it tough. Basically, I love to compete and winning is the best part.” Long hopes to continue at college—“somewhere in Colorado, because that’s where the best racers are. And then I’d like to continue racing until I’m in my mid-thirties, which is usually the cutoff point.” Long was born and raised in the Wood River Valley and has lived his whole life in a house in Deer Creek. “It’s been really amazing to grow up here and I feel so lucky. Especially to live in a place surrounded by such an incredible outdoors and so close to the mountains and all of the trail systems. The community has such a great feel to it and everyone is so supportive. Of course, sometimes it can feel

“I love the sciences. It’s really fascinating and it can all be applied to everyday life. I think in the future I might pursue medicine because I’m interested in surgery and helping athletes. –Jackson Long small. Let’s face it—it’s not a city and it doesn’t give you a giant sense of the world. But I prefer a small town and I see myself living in a great community like this one and one, hopefully, as beautiful as here.” Long enters his senior year at Wood River with a 3.6 grade point average and as a member of National Honor Society. “It’s a great group of kids there and I think the school is tremendous. The teachers and the staff are excellent and I’ve been able to push myself through A.P. courses and make things more

rigorous.” His sophomore year Long took U.S. history, his junior year language and composition and government, and his senior year he is taking calculus, biology and literature. “I love the sciences,” he said. “It’s really fascinating and it can all be applied to everyday life. I think in the future I might pursue medicine because I’m interested in surgery and helping athletes.” Whatever he chooses, look for Jackson Long touring the roads of the Valley, and make sure you give him a wave on his journeys! tws

Hemingway Symposium Includes Rare House Visit

“Never mistake motion for action.� – Ernest Hemingway PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he day after Ernest Hemingway shot himself in the southwest foyer of his Ketchum home, an article in the New York Times described the home as “a large, ultramodern concrete structure.â€? On Friday 20 men and women filed through the two-story house, which overlooks a sea of golden aspen along the Big Wood River, and marveled at how Sixties-looking and dated the green dĂŠcor in the bathroom was. The house was included for the first time among the “Hemingway Hauntsâ€? that tour guide Jim Jaquet has led for the past six years as part of the Ernest Hemingway Festival, which evolved into the Ernest Hemingway Symposium. And tour-goers relished the opportunity to see the mounted head of an impala shot by Hemingway above a massive stone fireplace, along with the trunks he carted around with him on his world travels, a bullfighting poster that hung above a table sporting family snapshots and the animal skins that sat on the floor while one of America’s most famous author lived there. The home, which Ernest’s wife Mary bequeathed to The Nature Conservancy, is very rarely open to the public. But Jaquet’s wife Wendy Jaquet was able to talk the Conservancy’s Matt Miller into opening it for this special occasion because of the educational nature of the symposium. And tour-goers responded

Ketchum resident Gerry Morrison takes a picture of the typewriter that Ernest Hemingway wrote stories on. The author worked standing up in a second-floor room, looking out onto the Boulder Mountains to the north.

in kind, furiously scribbling notes as Jim Jaquet told how the home’s original owner—Bob Topping, a part-owner of the New York Yankees, built the virtually indestructible home to resemble the Sun Valley Lodge with its faux wood cinder blocks after he was allegedly kicked out of the Duchin Room for being obnoxious. Atkinsons’ Market Owner Chuck Atkinson negotiated the buying price for Hemingway because Hemingway believed the price would skyrocket if the seller knew he wanted to purchase the house, Jaquet added. “Look here,� Jaquet said. “The TV set had three channels in those days—NBC, ABC and CBS. And the original appliances are still in the kitchen.� Even Ketchum native Gordon Williams, the bus driver, had a story to tell as he described how Mary Hemingway had given the

gun Hemingway used to end his life to Ketchum welder Elven Brooks. “She had him cut it up so it couldn’t become a trophy. Where is the shotgun? No one knows,� he said. “Elvin wouldn’t even tell his son what happened to it.� The tour and the symposium piqued the interest of many locals who had never attended either the Hemingway Festival or its spin-off before. “This has really intrigued me,� said Ketchum resident Bunny Manus. “I want to read more. I want to read his autobitws ography.�

The sun also sets on the Hemingway House on a fall afternoon. Picabo Rancher Bud Purdy says he and Ernest Hemingway used to shoot clay pigeons off the balcony of the home.

Did you know?

Those attending the film screening of Frederic Hunter’s “The Hemingway Play� Thursday night got to see Hailey resident Pamela Sue Martin in the Emmy-nominated movie. Martin also co-starred in “The Poseidon Adventure� and TV’s blockbuster primetime soap “Dynasty.�

The Hemingway House remains very much the way it was when Ernest and Mary Hemingway lived there. Among the treasures: A table underneath a bullfighting poster that includes a rotary phone and family snapshots and foreign currency underglass.

Seed Collecting with the Land Trust Volunteer your time and learn to collect sagebrush seeds. Wood River Land Trust is collaborating with Idaho Fish and Game, The Sage School, Community School, and you. This Wednesday, Oct. 26, we will be heading down to our Sheep Bridge Preserve to collect seeds from Wyoming Big Sagebrush. Volunteers have helped Idaho Fish and Game collect the seeds from locally adapted sagebrush around the state annually. The

seeds collected are then used for restoration projects typically used in reseeding sagebrush steppe ecosystems that have burned. Seeding these areas can drastically improve the probability of restoration. Sagebrush seeds are tiny - about the size of a pin head - and it takes about 2 million to make a pound of cleaned seeds. For more info and to RSVP, contact Ashley Wells, awells@woodriverlandtrust.org or 788-3947.

Advocates New Project Aimed at Males The Hailey based Advocates for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, has hired Travis Jones to lead a new project aimed at engaging men and boys in the community in violence prevention efforts. The program is specifically designed to mobilize men and boys so that they are inspired to take action against sexist violence and bullying. “I’ve been lucky to have some time to ramp up in to this position. I’ve been doing lots of reading, studying up on domestic violence and the effects it has on our communities. I’ve come to see that domestic violence is not a women’s issue, it’s a human issue�, says Jones.

Jones will spend time in local classrooms, as well as with civic groups and sports teams, discussing bullying, dating and domestic violence and healthy relationships. There are several effective programs in the United States, including one in Boise, Men Today, Men Tomorrow, that The Advocates is modeling its program after. As part of the development of the new program, Jones is seeking community members to sit on an Advisory Committee to help shape the work done as part of the Engaging Men and Boys project. People interested in sitting on the committee should contact Jones at 788-4191, travis@theadvocatesorg.org.

gatha Christie’s most famous character—that prissy Belgian detective named Hercule Poirot—will come to life on the stage of the nexStage Theatre this week and next. Jamey Reynolds will portray the extremely meticulous detective who tends to ask headscratching questions that always lead to whodunit in “Black Coffee.� The murder mystery gets underway Thursday through Sunday, followed up with four more performances Nov. 3 through 6. The 1930 “Black Coffee� was the first mystery for Christie, who has become the best-selling fiction writer of all time with book sales exceeding 2 billion. It was also her first play—one which she later turned into a novel. In it she introduced Hercule Poirot—the Belgian detective who would become Christie’s most popular character—even over Miss Marple. “People were doing adaptations of her books and short stories and she didn’t like that so she started writing plays, as well,� said Reynolds, who does triple duty as the play’s star, director and set builder. “As her first play, it’s a little rough around the edges. But most people have never heard of it before. So that makes it fun to do. And theater companies throughout the nation are doing it now that PBS has revived the Poirot series.� The play revolves around Poirot’s attempt to find who stole a valuable formula for an explosive that could kill hundreds of thousands of people. Everyone is a suspect—from the inventor’s son Richard, who could pay off his debts with the money the sale of the secret would bring, to the butler. “I’m having a gas of a time impersonating him,� Reynolds said. “He’s a little ornery but he has a gracious heart. He’s a little bit of a romantic, sometimes letting the murderer go because he realizes that living with their crime of passion is punishment enough. For him, it was not so much about the law, but human justice and decency. Doing unto others was what was important to him.� Poirot relies on psychology

more than clues to solve crimes, Reynolds said. He was so beloved that The New York Times wrote an obituary for him after Christie released her final book featuring him near the time of her own death. “As far as I know, his is the only fictional character that has ever appeared in the obituary column of The New York Times,� Reynolds said. The suspects in Laughing Stock Theatre Company’s production are played by Doug Neff, Cam Cooper, Joy Bond, Bill Nagel, Erin Burbank, Ben Schepps, Chris Campbell, Michael Black,

arris Simmons was working when he heard chanting outside the second-story office of Zions Bank Corporation in Salt Lake City. Protestors carrying placards were outside bemoaning greed. Simmons says he can empathize with the protestors—“A lot of kids coming out of schools did what they were supposed to do—they racked up a lot of student loans and now they’re not finding jobs.â€? But Simmons says “greedy ambitionâ€? exemplified by entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs may be what gets America out of the Great Recession. “If greed got us into this mess, greed will get us out. We live in a system where greed and fear compete with one another. We’re paralyzed by fear right now. We need to figure out a way to get people to take risks and reward that greed,â€? he said. Simmons, chief executive officer of Zions Bancorporation, presented a lively discussion concerning banking, the economy and other issues last week as part of Zions Bank Community Speaker Series. Here are some of his other observations: • The 2,000-page Wall Street reform package has accomplished some of its objectives, reducing risk in the financial industry and putting more capital into the system. And the country is in better shape, as a result, as we look at the challenges ahead. • At the same time, we’ve become an economy that ‘s becoming increasingly preoccupied with regulatory issues in every industry “Five years ago we had a dozen workers focused on money

laundering,â€? Simmons said. “Today we have 91 so the cost of complying is expensive. I don’t know that we will be able to develop new products as quickly and easily as we used to.â€? The amount of regulations surrounding mortgage lending has also increased dramatically, Simmons said: “I’ve sat on a hospital board for years. One day I realized there are more regulations around mortgages than there are around a heart transplant.â€? Executives can’t go through a day without a lawyer at their side whether dealing with compensation issues or questions about how to pay bonuses to people under the new rules, Simmons added. • Simmons said he suspects we will see very little bank financing of land again in our lifetime. And housing, which has always been one of the major parts of the nation’s economy, remains one of the nation’s major challenges. • Small businesses account for 70 percent of new jobs. But banks don’t do a good job of making loans in the $100,000 to $5 million zone. Community banks do it best, he said: “We do as third as much lending in that bracket as Bank of America, which is 50 times bigger.â€? • There’s been a massive withdrawal of money market funds that were exposed to Europe as Europe continues to spiral downward into economic chaos. • A lot of money has been made that’s not circulating as people sit on cash. If that changes all of a sudden, it’ll be like throwing a match on dry tinder, Simmons said: “You won’t be able to stop inflation from taking off.â€? tws

briefs Sun Valley Resort partners with the Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands for five-year lease agreement on Reinheimer Ranch The Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands and Sun Valley Resort has entered into a five-year lease agreement for maintenance and upkeep of the Reinheimer Ranch. According to Foundation president Don Weilmunster and Sun Valley Resort general manager Tim Silva, this 1890’s ranch will have the benefit of being operated by the famed Sun Valley Resort and applying leased water from the Reinheimer Trust. The estate of Eleanor Reinheimer donated the ranch to the Foundation in 1977, excepting out the house and barn. “The value of having 110 acres of open space as the gateway to the cities of Ketchum and Sun Valley is huge and we want the best possible oversight of the Reinheimer legacy. The Ranch came with the caveat of staying in its ‘natural state’ and no buildings have ever been erected; we continue to keep this gift in accordance with the bequest,� stated Don Weilmunster, Foundation president. The board welcomed Representative Wendy Jaquet to its membership at their September board meeting. Jaquet joins 12 other board members who serve without compensation and who pay their own expenses. The Idaho Foundation for Parks and Lands, formed in 1972, has been instrumental in the acquisition of numerous state parks. The Foundation continues to make its mark across the landscape of Idaho working with individuals and corporations through a volunteer organization, saving land, trails and habitat.

Energy Audit PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t’s official: You can blame me for global warming. My house is that much of an energy waster. Or was. Spurred on by a local rebate offered homeowners in Blaine and Camas County last year, my husband and decided to have an energy audit conducted of our home. It was for selfish reasons as much as the environment—I was tired of pounding my computer keys with blue fingers as the winter sun dipped behind the mountain ridge every afternoon. And we hoped that fixing some of the holes might eliminate our need to huddle around the TV for warmth at night. I had no illusions that our home was a marvel of energyefficiency since it was built in 1976. That, if you recall, was the same year the United States elected a Peanut President, the year Sylvester Stallone made his silver screen debut in “Rocky,” the year Nadia Comaneci won three gold medals at the Montreal Olympics, the year--gulp—gas was 59 cents a gallon. And everyone else who had had an energy audit had told me their homes had betrayed them. Harry Griffith and Baird Gourlay, of E+Mc2, resembled Ghostbusters as they showed up at my front door, armed with three suitcases containing $12,000 worth of energy auditing tools. Their mission, however, was not to flush out ghosts but energy-robbing spirits. “There’s no rocket science to it,” said Griffith. “The problems are pretty typical. People have leakage, house appliances that aren’t effective.” After measuring the windows and doors, the two went to work using a hand-held machine to register temperature differential in various parts of the house. At one point, they attached a big fan to my front door, which sucked the air out, creating a negative pressure that helped them find leaks. Putting my hand against the single pane window on the front door, I could feel the air rushing in. Air was even leaking out of the light fixture sockets—something Gourlay told me could be mitigated by putting a pre-cut Styrofoam pad in between the wall and the plastic piece. My house had 215 square inches of leakage—nearly the equivalent of a foot-wide hole. Our attic insulation registered R20—R49 is recommended. Griffith crawled out of the crawlspace, holding a piece of Styrofoam. The Styrofoam was tearing off, leaving big gaps, he reported. None of the heat ducts were insulated, either, he added. And there was a big hole where the gas line was, allowing in daylight from outside. We could remedy it by spraying an inch of coating or attaching glue board on the wall, he said. No sooner had Griffith related his news than Gourlay told me the next bad news: I needed a blanket for my hot water heater to keep it from losing heat to heat up the room it was in. And I needed to turn the hot water heater down from its current 130 degrees to 125. Our refrigerator, which we purchased within the last year, met with the auditors’ approval. But, they noted, today’s dishwashers are 30 percent more efficient than the older ones. And today’s washers spin more water out of the clothes so the clothes require less drying. Over the next few minutes, the two noted several glaring problems. We needed to cover our crawlspace vents during winter and reopen them during summer. We needed to remove the

baseboards and seal gaps with GreatStuff spray insulation. We needed to install a SmartSwitch with circuit protection and automatic shut-off mechanism to turn our computers and other electrical varmints off when we left the home. Window shading could mitigate draft coming through windows, said Sarah Latham, of White Canvas Designs. And rugs would add warmth to the wood floor. The good news, they said: Our furnace, which we replaced because we couldn’t turn it on following the Castle Rock Fire, was as efficient as any on the market. Old ones, by contrast, are only 60 percent to 80 percent effective. Gourlay checked for negative pressure making sure there was no Co2 coming out of the furnace exhaust. At least two young people in the Wood River Valley died a couple years ago, he said, after being poisoned by negative pressure. But, you need to change out your incandescent compact fluorescent bulbs, he said. Buying new ones would be expensive but they would have a fast payback since they use a quarter of the energy. And, the new ones are much better than those of a few years ago. “Those I’d change tomorrow,” Gourlay said, suggesting that I check out MaxLite bulbs. “You’ll be losing less energy and you’ll cut down on your carbon footprint as soon as you change a bulb.” Noting that the subfloor had no treatment for radon, Gourlay suggested setting up a monitor for 48 hours to test for radon. The radon exceeded 15—nearly four times the acceptable rate of 4. My home sweet home suddenly seemed like a death trap. The radon is caused by gases coming up through the decomposing Idaho Batholith, Gourlay said. It tends to be worse in Eastern Idaho than Western Idaho. Those closer to a river tend to have more problems than those up against a hillside. But neighbors can have widely varying amounts. The cure: Putting plastic barrier down on the ground and constructing pipes across with fan to blow it outside—a project costing nearly $4,000 by one estimate. The key, he said, is to make sure you turn that fan on—at least when you’re there. “I had one friend who registered 17—the equivalent of smoking package of cigarettes a week,” he said. “It was a newer house and had been remediated for radon. But he didn’t have the fan turned on.” Hmmmm. There goes my energy savings…. tws

Energy Saving Tips

Jim Mason is the go-to guy when you want some suggestions on how to save energy. And he’s seen it all. Mason, an Idaho Power employee who works in the Wood River Valley, has seen a Twin Falls car dealer who used so much light at night that a surgeon could have performed surgery. And he’s dealt with a Ketchum homeowner who couldn’t quite bring himself to turn off his 30-foot waterfall, even though it would mean saving $180 a day. The average homeowner can make a number of small changes to reduce the monthly electric bill, said Mason. That includes setting the furnace switch to “Auto,” rather than “On,” using only the lights needed and reducing shower time. Mason held a workshop for Wood River Valley residents interested in saving on their electrical bill. Here are some of his tips: MORE INCONVENIENT Install a programmable thermostat—and program it (most people don’t). Program the thermostat to 55 when you’re gone; 68, when you’re there. It can be helpful to turn the thermostat down at night or when you’re away for a few hours. But once the temperature drops more than 10 degrees below your customary setting, it will take more energy to get it back up. Consolidate freezers and refrigerators. Unplug electronics when not in use. You may wish to plug them into a power strip so you can flip them off with one switch. Install carbon fluorescent light bulbs—they’re 75 percent more effective than incandescent ones. You get what you pay for—the 99 cent light bulbs or the six-pack you buy at discount stores fail quickly if you switch your light on and off frequently. Be aware that flat-screen TVS often use more energy than old TVs. One man used 450 kilowatts a month more with plasma TV. Run full loads in washer, dryer and dishwasher. And run those appliances only in morning and evening during summer. Wash clothes in cold or warm water, rather than hot. Hang clothes—the dryer is an energy-burning demon. Cut down on the energy it requires, however, by cleaning the lint filter each time you use it. QUICK FIXES Fix leaky faucet, which may necessitate the water heater to run more often. Set water heater so the temperature at the faucet is 120 degrees. Don’t set it any lower, though, as bacteria can grow at lower temperatures. Set your refrigerator to 40 degrees; your freezer, to zero. Insulate your hot water pipes in garages and crawl space—you’ll get warmer water quicker. Wrap the water heater to reduce energy use by 4 to 9 percent Weather strip and caulk around doors and windows, especially if you see daylight. Add all the little leaks together and it’s like having a hole in your home. Clean and replace your furnace filters once a month during heating season (every three months if you use pleated filters). Vacuum dust and cobwebs from the controls and fan blades in your furnace. Take advantage of Idaho Power’s free energy house calls if you live in electrically heated manufactured housing. WISE INVESTMENTS Insulate your attic to R-50. Insulate the perimeter of your crawl space by blowing in Styrofoam. Plant trees for shade and wind breaks. Buy Energy Star appliances but do your homework—some appliances claim to be Energy Star but are not. Replace old heating and cooling systems with a high-efficiency heat pump, which moves heat rather than creating heat. A heat pump can take care of any heating and cooling needs for the Twin Falls area two-thirds of the time, reducing energy consumption by 30 percent to 40 percent; it can take care of about half of the Wood River Valley’s needs. And they qualify for a federal tax credit of 30 percent until Dec. 31, 2016. Block leakage into fireplace with flue balloons; they can be deflated when you want to use the fireplace and then inflated again after use.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, This year's summer heat has been unbearable. The extremely hot days have set new levels of electricity usage. One day, my power went out during the peak of the day and took my air conditioning with it. I sweltered in my house until the power finally came back on that night. Now that I sit in my nice cool living room reading the classifieds, I've come across several portable generators listed for sale. I'm thinking I should buy one of these and plug in my AC the next time the electric goes out. It's either that or buy a kiddie pool to sit in. How do I know what kind of generator I really need?

• • •

Cash: The kiddie pool sounds

like a good idea. If you replace your sofa with it the next time the power goes out, you'll have an indoor pool! Carry: While those hot days can be brutal, you may want to give a little more thought to how you plan on using the generator before you rush out to buy one. Cash: When the power goes out, it may sound like a great idea to plug your air conditioner into

the generator, kick back and cool off. However, you might be sitting in the dark with a warm drink if it doesn't run the lights and a refrigerator. Carry: Most portable generators are limited to running a few vital electrical items like well pumps, lights, refrigerators or even televisions. The units have to be placed outside since they commonly run on gasoline. They also require a heavy-duty extension cord to supply their power to inside the house. Cash: There are many different models, but in order choose the correct size you need to calculate the total amount of watts you will have connected to the generator at one time. Appliances, such as your

refrigerator or window air condition, have labels that tell you how many watts the appliance requires. Carry: If your area looses power frequently or for extended periods of time, then having an emergency generator can be a good idea. However, you should remember that they can also be noisy and disturb both you and your neighbors. So they're best left for emergencies only. Cash: Since it sounds like your lack of power is a rare occurrence, consider spending your money on a nice dinner and movie the next time the power goes out. By the time you get home, the electricity should be restored and you won't be so "hot" under the collar.

The hot summer months can bring record-high temperatures which means that it can also bring record high utility bills. According to Energy Star, the average homeowner spends over $2,000 every year on energy costs. Almost half of that amount is spent on heating and cooling your home. With these high temperatures and our increased use of air conditioners, those costs are expected to rise.

Going Public

We all need to pitch in to conserve energy. Individuals and businesses alike can help make a difference. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that there are more than 55 million computers in the United States and that almost $1 billion could be saved each year if they were switched to use their power management settings. Likewise, businesses with illuminated exit signs above doorways consume about 35 billion kilowatt hours each year. By switching to a more efficient light bulb, they could help save over $75 million. •

Reader Humor Lights Out

When the power went out in our town last week, we all came in to work the next day and shared our stories of what happened at home. While most of us simply missed our favorite television programs, my friend Jim had a more memorable experience. He told us that he had just finished dinner with his 16-yearold daughter and her new boyfriend when the lights went out. "For two hours we had to sit in the dark," he complained. "That's when I decided I'm getting a generator." "It was only two hours," we questioned. "Why would you need a generator?" "Safety," he explained. "When the lights came back on, I caught my daughter kissing her boyfriend." (Thanks to Elton H.)

near Bellevue will once again turn into a Haunted Forest as those who dare are ushered into a world of ghouls and goblins played by live actors. Those who dare to enter in may stumble—or run—their way through the scare tactics by entering the Haunted Forest on Elm Street behind and below Mahoney’s Bar and Grill, 104 S. Main St. Over the past three years, the event has raised more than $7,500 for the Friends of The Howard Preserve to maintain the natural park-like area, said organizer Tammy Eaton. The Haunted Forest opens at 5:30 p.m. and people may start their walk at any time up until 9:15 p.m., with the forest turning scarier as the night comes on. Tickets are $5, available at The Bead Shop in Hailey and Mahoney’s Bar and Grill, Oak Street Foods and Splash n’ Dash in Bellevue. Tickets will also be available at the gate.

NIGHTMARE ON MAIN STREET - Ketchum’s Main Street will once again be closed for an evening of shenanigans from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday as the town throws its annual Halloween on Main Street party. A deejay will spin music from 8 to 11 p.m. while vendors sell food and drink around fire pits. Whiskey Jacques’, The Roosevelt Bar and Grille, The Sawtooth Club and The Casino will also have specials. A costume contest will start at 10:30 p.m. Awards provided by Ketchum merchants will be given for Best Overall Costume, Best Group Costume, Best Male Costume, Best Female Costume, Creepiest Costume and Sexiest Costume. Admission is free.

SUNDAY

HEMINGWAY’S SPOOKTACULAR PARTY - The hallway at Hemingway Elementary School, 111 8th St. W., in Ketchum, will be transformed into a spooktacular alleyway, complete with mushy squishy brains, ghostly lights and eerie sounds when the City of Ketchum, Ketchum Police Department, Ketchum Parks and Recreation and Wood River YMCA collaborate to sponsor their annual free Halloween party. The event, open to all ages, will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday and will include carnival games with a ghoulish twist and prizes to boot. There will be cookie decorating, face painting, crafts, a bouncy castle and inflatable slides, and pizza and candy. SUN VALLEY SKATING CENTER HALLOWEEN EVE PARTY - The Sun Valley Skating Center will host a Halloween On Ice party for all ages. The fun begins at 4 pm and continues until 8 pm with refreshments, broomball, pumpkin bowling on ice, kids’ cookie decorating, face painting and much more. Ice skating and skate rental will be reduced to $5 per person. Costumes will be judged at 6 pm with prizes going to first, second and third places for adults and children. The Sun Valley Village retail shops will provide an opportunity for early trick or treating and a scavenger hunt from 3-8 pm. Information: 622-2194.

MONDAY

HAILEY’S HALLOWEEN HOOPLA - Hailey merchants will throw open their doors for their annual Halloween Hoopla from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Monday. Businesses sporting black and orange balloons will hand out treats for the event, which is organized by the South Valley Merchants, Hailey Chamber of Commerce, Cox Communications and Albertsons. This year’s trick-or-treat territory will be

bigger than ever, thanks to the involvement of King’s variety store. And there will be a costume contest from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at The Liberty Theatre. Last year, merchants were mobbed with at least 4,000 trick-or-treaters, according to counters with Cox Communications. Some businesses went the extra mile, decorating their shops with cobwebs and other thrills. Cari’s Hair Care and Day Spa at 503 N. Main St., for instance, ushered kids and adults into a House of Horror, and the Yellow Brick Road had the entire gang—Dorothy and Toto included—outside to greet youngsters. The Cowboy Cocina, at 111 N. 1st Ave., will be serving up its annual trick-or-treat feast of hot dogs and mac n’ cheese for children wearing costumes between 4 and 6:30 p.m. at its Haunted Kitchen in the Meriwether Building. Hailey’s mayoral candidates will judge the costume contest at the Liberty Theatre on Main Street. Preschoolers can vie for prizes at 4 p.m.; kindergarteners through third-graders at 4:30 p.m.; fourth- through sixthgraders at 5:15 p.m.; sevenththrough 12th-graders at 6 p.m.; and adults at 6:30 p.m. Even stores get to vie for best in three categories—Most Halloween, Most Hoopla and Most Hailey—in a store-decorating contest that prompted Atkinsons’ to erect a Frankenstein built of Sprite cans. “I think we love to celebrate as a town. And the Halloween Hoopla gives kids an opportunity to walk around in the daytime and get candy from people they know so they know they’re safe,” said Garvin. “We always run out of candy—and everybody makes a mad dash to Atkinsons’ to buy more. And everybody gets involved—even the banks.” FALL HARVEST PARTY - Local churches are organizing a gym full of games and other activities for youngsters from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at the Community Campus on Fox Acres Road, said Lucy Fuller. Costumes are encouraged; scary costumes are not. Papoose Club Raffle - The Papoose Club is raffling off a Sun Valley Sun Plus Ski pass at the Sun Valley Brewery following the Halloween Hoopla in Hailey. Ticket holders need not be present to win the ski pass, which is a full season adult ski pass offering discounts at Sun Valley restaurants. The pass, donated by Sun Valley Resort, is valued at $1,999. Tickets are $10 each, six for $50 or 13 for $100, available from any of The Papoose Club’s 50-plus members or by calling 726-6642. Money raised from the raffle will support educational, cultural and athletic growth of Wood River Valley children, said Krista Gehrke. The Papoose Club recently, for instance, helped secure tickets for area youth to see the Company of Fools’ “Velveteen Rabbit.” tws
