Thanksgiving Ski Racing Academy

BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he rumor mill has been buzzing that Sun Valley is opening before its traditional Thanksgiving opening.

Actually, it is and it isn’t.

Eighty young ski racers will converge on Baldy Saturday through Thanksgiving Eve for Sun Valley’s first-ever Thankgiving Alpine Training Camp.

The camp will give 40 local kids the opportunity to train at home rather than go elsewhere where conditions may be less than ideal. The other skiers will come from Bogus Basin, McCall, Kelly Canyon and Mt. Hood. “(Sun Valley General Manager) Tim Silva says Sun Valley is so isolated that we have no idea what other ski towns do,� Wiseman said. “In Colorado hundreds of racers take part in these camps in the weeks before Thanksgiving,’ he said. “We’re trying to say Sun Valley should be part of that because we have the facilities. And we have the ability to offer good snow that other ski areas don’t have because of Sun Valley’s snowmaking and grooming that a lot of ski areas don’t have. We’re starting small. But, if all goes well, there’s no reason we couldn’t expand it in the future.�

The kids will train on Lower River Run and 42nd Street. SVSEF Alpine Program Director Ruben Macaya says training on flat terrain gives the students a chance to work on skills “That is where we always go during the first few days of the season so kids can get their skis under them and their feel back,� he said.

Sun Valley’s Mountain Manager Peter Stearns is asking those who want to skin up Bald Mountain to use the Warm Springs side of the mountain during this time to minimize conflict with the racers. tws

briefs Milk and Bookies

The Community Library’s Children’s Library is sponsoring “Milk & Bookies” this Saturday.

Children are asked to bring a new book to donate. They will then inscribe the books, which will be donated to their peers who do not have access to books of their own.

The books will be donated to the recipients of the Hunger Coalition’s Thanksgiving Food Baskets, said Children’s Librarian Kerry Funkhouser.

In exchange for the new book, children will have a fun story time, receive an “I donated” stickers and, of course, milk and cookies.

St. Luke’s Annual Fall Conference

Susan Kaiser Greenland, author of “The Mindful Child,” will talk about “The New ABCs—Attention, Balance and Compassion,” at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

The talk is part of the annual fall conference of St. Luke’s Center for Community Health.

The talk is designed to explore ways children can reduce stress in their lives and overcome challenges like overeating, ADHD and hyper-perfectionism.

Greenland will offer hands-on applications of the concepts from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Thanks-Ski-Giving

The Ketchum-Sun Valley Heritage and Ski Museum, The Ski Academy, Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation and the Sun Valley Ski Club invite the community to a “Thanks-Ski-Giving” at the Heritage and Ski Museum.

Thanks-Ski-Giving is a community party hosted by the Heritage and Ski Museum to celebrate the opening of the 2011-2012 ski season and give to those in need. The Sun Valley Ski Academy, Sun Valley Ski Club and Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation will all have tables in the museum to discuss their programs.

The party will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 23 at the Ski Museum located in Forest Service Park. Old Death Whisper will be playing acoustic music in the Ski Museum; there will be bonfires in the park; Hot Dog the Movie playing in the Park; and both Museums will be open to the public.

The public is encouraged to bring cans of food in exchange for a free beer or hot chocolate. Food donations will be going to The Hunger Coalition and donations of worn coats, hats, and gloves will be given to The Advocates.

Info: Megan Murphy Lengyel at the Ski Museum at 721.3575.

Firefighters Ball

Soul Purpose will stoke the energy in Sun Valley’s Limelight Room Saturday night for the 32nd Annual Firefighters Ball.

Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15, available at the door and at Atkinsons’ Market.

One Revolution

Salt Lake City athlete Chris Waddell will show the award-winning documentary “One Revolution” at 6 tonight at the Sun Valley Opera House. Tickets are $10, available at the door.

The movie tells of Waddell’s attempt to become the first paraplegic to climb Mount Kilimanjaro unassisted.

Waddell was on the U.S. Disabled Ski Team for 11 years.

One-of-a-Kind Ribbon Cutting “I call it Log-in, Log-out.”

–Susan Desko

PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t wasn’t your usual ribboncutting ceremony—not with mayors Randy Hall and Wayne Willich having to use a crosscut saw to cut through the red ribbon wrapped around the trunk of a Douglas fir.

But it was fitting for Sun Valley’s new Visitor Center, which sports a plethora of timber, inside and out.

Logs encase both the interior and exterior, as if someone were stocking up on firewood for a long, cold winter. The paneling features a mix of native applewood and beetle-killed pine from Stanley while the countertops are made of live-edge walnut grown in Idaho.

And the information desk is situated under 13 dead-standing timbers hauled in from surrounding mountains amidst massive Douglas fir stumps that serve as stools.

“I call it ‘Log-in, Log-out,’ ” said the center’s designer, Susan Desko, as she watched locals mill around. “Log-in Sun Valley as you physically log into the computer. Then, log-off when you go outside.

“As someone who moved here 11 years ago from Los Angeles, I wanted to show people that it’s possible to live here and work here and not feel like you’re missing out on anything. We live at the end of the road in all this beauty but we can still be connected to the rest of the world with the click of a button.”

A couple hundred people turned out Friday afternoon for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which took place at the newly titled Ketchum Town Center at 491 Sun Valley Road.

Workers were still putting up panels featuring James Bourret’s photograph of Spring Creek in the Boulder Mountains as Visitor Center Manager Greg Randolph got the ribbon-cutting underway.

The photo takes up a full wall in the old bank vault, which has been turned into a meeting room and dubbed “The Glamour Room.” The name refers to Ernest Hemingway’s nickname for Room 206 in the Sun Valley Lodge where he wrote “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”

The room also features floorto-ceiling pictures of Hemingway and friends like Gary Cooper, loaned to the Visitor Center by Sun Valley Company.

The public will be able to hold meetings around a glass table mounted on the type of desk Hemingway used to write his stories.

One onlooker worried whether the logs had been treated with fire-resistant material. And

Workers scurried to hang James Bourret’s photographic panels in the building’s old bank vault, even as the ribbon-cutting ceremony was starting.

several people expressed concern that the Visitor Center comprised such a small portion of the building, offering little for tourists beyond the streaming videos.

But people seemed awed by the design.

Marcia Mode-Stavros of Hailey said she remembered placing bank deposits in the building when it was Mountain West Bank.

“I like the way they opened it up,” she said.

“It’s so natural, rather than modern, which is kind of neat,” said Ketchum resident Randy Schaeffer, gesturing toward the mix of warm woods juxtaposed with more contemporary elements like recycled steel, energy-efficient lighting, stone and concrete.

None of the transformation would have happened without Desko, said Sun Valley Marketing Alliance spokesman Jake Peters.

“She’s brilliant and she’s persuasive,” he said.

The center features a million dollars’ worth of work for a third of the cost, added Ketchum Mayor Randy Hall.

Alpine Tree Service owner Pat Rainey used a mix of “Egyptian yoga,” cables and pulleys to erect the timbers, which were longer than the width of the

building, said Desko. Bubba Street provided the labor for the stacked logs. Western States Geothermal provided the electrical work, while Rocky Mountain Hardware provided bathroom fixtures.

And Atkinsons’ Market, Roxy’s Market, Larry and Rebekah Helzel, Tim Semones and others contributed money for the project.

Hall said the project was a culmination of a vision that started with the building of the Ketchum Town Plaza.

“We were talking about tearing this building down. Can anyone imagine what we would have lost if we had done so?” he said, gazing into the building’s A-frame-shaped ceiling. tws

SeeIng The Original

Those attending the ribbon cutting of the Visitor Center Friday afternoon even got a 30-second commercial touting Sun Valley as “The Original” that will be showing in movie theaters this winter.

The ad features glimpses of Sun Valley’s sleigh rides along Trail Creek, the Sun Valley SUNS hockey players and, of course, skiers and snowboarders.

“Can you believe we get to live in a place like this after seeing pictures like that?” Ketchum Mayor Randy Hall exclaimed. “Most people are really surprised a place like this still exists.”

Sun Valley Artist Series Announces Lineup PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

usan Spelius Dunning was thrilled last spring when members of the St. Petersburg Quartet said they’d like to perform with her following their regularly scheduled concert at the Church of the Big Wood.

The five performed Brahms’ “Piano Quartet in G Minor� in the living room of Dunning’s Elkhorn home the next day in a concert so seamless that a newcomer would have thought Dunning had been touring with the group. “I played violin for many years and I’ve never heard such virtuosity,� said onlooker Nicole Brown.

Dunning will team up with two members of the quartet for a holiday concert on December 20. It will be the first of four concerts offered by the Sun Valley Artist Series this winter season.

The series, now in its third year, is bringing back some of the favorites of its first two seasons for encore performances.

The season will culminate in a performance by international concert pianist Misha Dichter and his wife Cipa Dichter on March 10.

The concert will be a benefit performance designed to raise money for suicide prevention, with the money going to Wood River Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Crisis Hotline of the Wood River Valley and The Speedy Foundation, created in memory of Boise’s Olympic aerial skier Jared “Speedy� Peterson who died earlier this year.

Tickets for the four-part series are $200 and will go on sale today at www.svartistseries.org Individual tickets to the concerts cost $35 ($40 at the door) and will be available at Ketchum bookstores prior to each concert.

Tickets for the March 10 Suicide Prevention Concert costs $100, $250 and $500 and are tax-deductible.

All concerts start at 7 p.m. at the Church of the Big Wood, 100 Saddle Road in Ketchum.

Selected preconcert talks start at 6:15 p.m.

This year’s lineup: Tuesday, Dec. 20: The Amadea Piano Trio will present a holiday concert that includes the works of Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and Mendelssohn.

The trio features violin player Alla Aranovskaya and viola

The Sun Valley Artist Series and Ketchum Community Library will co-present the video lecture series “How to Listen to and Understand Great Music—Its History, Culture and Heart� at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, at the Ketchum Community Library.

The free presentation features the colorful Prof. Robert Greenberg.

This is the second in a six-part series. Other video lectures will be presented Jan. 18, Feb. 16, March 22 and April 26.

The presentations are offered with the idea that the more people learn about classical music, the richer there experience will be, said the series’ Artistic Director Susan Spelius Dunning.

ki racers and other athletes are used to being reminded to ground themselves in what’s called “the athletic stance.”

On Thursday folk singer Moira Smiley encouraged choir members at Wood River High School to adopt the same stance.

“You have to have that groundedness in your legs and sing on down through your legs,” she told them. “That’s what good singing is all about.”

Smiley and fellow singers Inga Swearingen and April Guthrie visited several schools in the Valley last week as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ outreach to schools.

They took Woodside and Hemingway elementary school students on a trip across sea, singing for them the distinctive chant-like, open-throated sounds of Bulgarian music meant to carry the voice for long distances.

And they filled the gymnasiums with a harmony so exquisite that even teachers were nodding their approval rather than firing stern looks at antsy kids.

Top Left: Dani McLaughlin, Breanna Gillard and Destiny Murphy giggle as they try out VOCO’s body percussion techniques.

Above: Inga Swearingen and Moira Smiley show Max Stimac’s vocal students how to turn their bodies into drum sets.

On another afternoon, they showed Max Stimac’s vocal students at Wood River High School how to use different parts of bodies as drums.

“The opportunity to work with them and learn what you can do with your voice and body was really cool,” said Isabella Stimac.

The trio took their multilingual singing to the Sun Valley Opera House Friday night, weaving a web of exotic rootsy songs culled from Eastern Europe and their own pens.

The kids proved they were up to the challenge as they joined in singing Smiley’s “Stand in the River.” Sarah Arters contributed a solo part and so did Caleb Gavin, who blew the audience away with easy folksy way he projected himself and his voice.

“I had no idea what to expect.

But it was so unique,” said

“The opportunity to work with them and learn what you can do with your voice and body was really cool.”

Through an Artist’s Lens

BY JONATHAN KANE

B

esides being a championship snowboarder, Wood River High School senior Ali Appleton has devoted most of her life to the arts. “My mom was an artist and she introduced me to it. When I was a child I started messing around with crayons and paint and I would look into her sketchbooks. My mom made a huge scrapbook for me and introduced me to crafts, liking working with objects and glue.” She added, “Art has meant so much to me. It’s given me a chance to express myself and it’s a great reliever of stress.

I’ve had a lot of hardship in my life—art has been a great stress reliever. It allows me to put my feelings on a piece of paper and no one judges it because it’s art.”

Appleton’s father Tim passed away from cancer two years ago.

“In middle school, I really got into it. I struggled with math and science so I found the visual arts much more hands-on. In class I would doodle a lot and not really pay attention to what was going on. After taking ceramics I really got into it.” In high school, Appleton focused on studio art and started to devote her time to painting. “I’m most drawn to nature. One of the things I do is take pictures off the Internet and make them my own.

Recently, I did this with a stool and reworked the photo with a lot of colors.” Appleton added, “I love painting clouds and the sky. It’s so interesting with all the shapes and forms—especially puffy clouds. I have no set

schedule. I just come home and start to draw. I usually start by drawing with black pencil on a canvas and then add colors to make it stand out and convey what you’re trying to say.” For her senior project, Appleton will be working with a local glass blower, making glass jewelry.

“I wanted to try something different in the arts and maybe find something to pursue. When I was in eighth grade I was in Italy and watched someone do it, which totally fascinated me.

I’m starting this weekend so we’ll see how it goes.” In the meantime, she is looking at art institutes for next year and is also considering a career as a nurse. “I realize that it’s hard to make it in the art world so it’s better to have something to fall

back on. But it is still something that I can do my whole life.”

Born in the old Moritz Community Hospital in Sun Valley, Appleton lived in Ketchum until middle school and then moved to Hailey. “I like it a lot here in Hailey because I live close to school and I don’t have to make the commute. I really love the Valley, as it’s one of the most incredible places for a kid to grow up. There are so many opportunities here and it’s so safe.

You have such close connections with people and it’s so beautiful here. Because of how small it is, you really get noticed in sports.

If you’re good, you are always in the papers and you get a lot of attention. You can really pursue your dreams here and it’s a great place to get your life started.

The downside is that some kids can get caught up in drugs and partying.” Appleton added, “I’m definitely ready to get out and experience the world, but I can see myself coming back and raising a family here.”

In the meantime, Appleton continues to excel as an athlete and a snowboarder. “I hated skiing so my dad moved me to snowboarding at the age of 10 and I fell in love with it. I’ve been on the team ever since. Last year I won Nationals in the half-pipe for my age group, which shocked me at first, but now it’s opening up a lot of doors. Among them are scholarships, sponsorships, and I’m automatically admitted into tournaments.” The modest young woman added, “Now it’s on to bigger and better things.” tws

Opera at the Theatre, from page 1 music, the emotion…” he said.

Reagan will have plenty more fascinating performances to watch this winter, judging from previews that included an interview with the singer who will perform a monster in “Enchanted Island.”

“I don’t want to miss any of them,” said Ketchum resident Georgia Stewart, as she stepped out into the bright sunlight.

“It’s a great way to learn about opera,” said Mary Jo Helmeke, executive director of Sun Valley Opera. “I encourage people: Even if you don’t think you like opera, give this a try.”

Save the Date

This is the second year that Sun Valley Opera and MTC have teamed up to present The MET: Live in HD at the Hailey theater.

Upcoming performances: Nov. 19—“Satyagraha” Dec. 3—“Rodelinda” Dec. 10—“Faust” Jan. 21—“The Enchanted

Island” Feb. 11—“Gotterdammerung” Feb. 25—“Ernani” April 7—“Manon” April 14—“La Traviata”

Gandhi on Saturday

Gandhi will be the subject matter of “Satyagraha,” which will be shown at 10:55 a.m. Saturday at the Big Wood 4 Cinema in Hailey.

The lavish production features American composer Philip Glass’s opera. Richard Croft once again is Gandhi in the opera which the Washington Post calls “a profound and beautiful work of theatre.

The opera is loosely based on the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, and is the second part of Glass’s “Portrait Trilogy” of operas about men who changed the world, which also includes Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten. The title of the opera refers to Gandhi’s concept of nonviolent resistance to injustice,

Satyagraha, and the text, from the Bhagavad Gita. He deployed Satyagraha in the Indian independence movement and also during his earlier struggles in South Africa. Satyagraha theory influenced Nelson Mandela’s struggle in South Africa under apartheid, Martin Luther King, Jr. ‘s campaigns during the civil rights movement in the United States, and many other social justice and similar movements.

Philip Glass is an honorary advisor to the Sun Valley Opera which co-presents the MET: Live in HD series with Metropolitan Theatres owners of the Big Wood Theatre in Hailey.

Tickets are $22 for general admission and $20 for Seniors and may be purchased at the box office before the performance.

Attendees may order lunch from the Golden Elk, which will be delivered to the theatre at intermission. tws

A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

F

irst, a big disclaimer: I was not lucky enough to see the first two movies in this trilogy of crude, pot-laced humor.

Secondly, I saw this opus in 2D, not 3D, so I was not able to enjoy all the unnecessary effects of things being thrown at the screen—including a multitude of bodily fluids and massive quantities of pot smoke wafting toward the viewer. If you are old enough to remember Cheech and Chong, you’ve seen a lot of this before, only funnier. The film rates one and half bumblebees because it elicited a few laughs, but the person I shared the theater with spent most of the film on his BlackBerry, scrolling through e-mails. Not a ringing endorsement. But as with all mediocre Hollywood products, the movie should do boffo business at your

local video store where viewers can relax at home and toke away.

The premise is pretty simple.

The two boys (played by John Cho and Kal Penn) have been estranged for a number of years and they have found new lives and friends. Harold has become a successful stockbroker living in suburbia but with the troubling problem of not being able to impregnate his wife. Kumar is living in squalor devoting his life to the pursuit of good weed, until he gets the troubling news that he has gotten his girlfriend knocked up. After a magic spleef brings them together, Harold burns down the Christmas tree of his troubling father-in-law. Off they go to find a replacement.

Along the way, there’s plenty of coke, Ecstasy and crack to keep things running smoothly and a baby that imbibes in all three.

The funniest part of the film is an appearance by Neil Patrick Harris who goes against reality by playing an obsessive skirt chaser masquerading as a gay man. The movie has an audience, but I’m not one of them. It’s bongs aplenty and all stoners on tws deck.

rior to canning season, pressure canners should be thoroughly examined and tested at your local county extension office (http://www.uidaho. edu/extension/twinfalls/fcs); Twin Falls and Jerome County are certified and able to test your pressure canners. Be sure call ahead. If this is your first canning project, do a test run with water to understand how the pressure canner should function.

The key to successful canning is understanding the acidity factor of the food you wish to can. The amount of acid in a particular food determines which processing method needs to be implemented. For example, tomatoes need added acid as a margin of safety—this includes salsas! It would seem tomatoes are considered high in acidity, but many varieties are not.

To balance the acidity level, add one tablespoon commercially prepared lemon juice to each pint, or two tablespoons per quart. This will affect flavor, so sugar may be added to mask the tartness. Or, add one-quarter teaspoon crystalline citric (not ascorbic) acid per pint, or onehalf teaspoon per quart. Citric acid is usually available where canning supplies are sold or at the pharmacy.

For all canning projects, follow a tested recipe exactly! Don’t use overripe, bruised, frozen or low-quality produce when canning and always use current and reliable published instruction and recipe manuals. Canning information and tested recipes are available from your Blaine County Extension office, the National Center for Home Food Preservation: www.uga.edu/ nchfp/, and University of Idaho CALS. Publishing: www.info. ag.uidaho.edu/catalog/catalog. html under Family and Consumtws er Sciences.

Planning a Green Organic Thanksgiving

It’s Turkey Time—the time of year for family and friends, and lots of delicious, not-so-dietfriendly food. This Thanksgiving, buy local. Buying local foods fosters genetic diversity in our food supply, and supports the community we live in. Organic is the best option for personal health, as well as environmental wellness, so whenever possible, buy organic.

Consider cooking up local side dishes this year. Think potatoes!

Also corn, onions, grain, beets, apples and squash, locally produced, which will taste delicious

with turkey. Free-range turkeys also are a healthier option for both you and the turkey. Plan ahead and preorder an organic, free-range turkey. Remember to shop early and wisely to make the best choices.

Use your good china for Thanksgiving. It is a celebration, after all, but if the thought of washing so many dishes is terrifying, look into biodegradable or bamboo disposable dishes.

Reuse your old decorations from last year in a new way.

VAMPS get New Buffs

Starbucks Opens in Visitor Center PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

uffy Ritz and Susan Giannettino showed off the new Buffs inscribed with the VAMPS name during Backwoods Mountain Sports’ Ladies Night Out Thursday.

Giannettino said the multifunctional headwear, which can be used as neck gators, scarves, headbands, balaclavas and caps, are perfect for Nordic skiing because they are more breathable than hats and regular gaiters. Sun Valley Company also has its line of Buffs, inscribed with the Sun Valley name and trademark sun. It handed out its Buffs at Thursday’s Business Showcase to mark its 75th season.

briefs Five Days Left to Save on Nordic Passes The Blaine County Recreation District is offering $34 savings on adult “all BCRD Nordic trails” passes through Nov. 20, when purchased online at www.bcrd.org. Season passes are $175 for adults during the pre-season sale ($209 after Nov. 20), $29 for youth ages 13-17, $49 for dogs, and $99 for Quigley-only passes. Back again this season—all children 12 and under ski free!

The 130-kilometer BCRD trails system is one of the largest in the United States and offers some of the greatest diversity of Nordic fun for the whole family. Escape to the Sawtooth NRA Wilderness, visit Galena Lodge for snowshoe or ski lessons where you can check out the overnight yurts and enjoy a first-class dining experience in the rustic lodge; or spend the day at Quigley Winter Park, where pass holders can enjoy the yurt for hot cocoa,

watch the kids sled, play on the terrain park and snowshoe, and ski with your dog. A season pass offers an affordable and healthy alternative to enjoy the outdoors!

No tax dollars are used to groom the BCRD Nordic Trails, with the exception of the Wood River Trail, where every day is “ski free” day. One hundred percent of grooming costs are covered by pass sales and donations.

This is why the BCRD invites everyone to purchase the special Platinum, Gold or Silver pins. Platinum pins are $250, Gold pins $100, and Silver pins, $50.

You pick your passion! Buy a pin and wear it to show your additional support for the Trails!

tarbucks may have generated a lot of grumbling with its decision to move in with Sun Valley’s Visitor Center.

But its grand opening in the new Ketchum Town Center was definitely the place to be Friday as hundreds of people poured into the building to eyeball its new digs.

Manager Joe Lamanna handed out samples of sun-dried Ethiopian coffee as the shop geared up for a wine tasting later that day. Ron Pierce hauled in chairs as technicians mounted plasma screens. Baristas served up bakery items from local artisan bakers and egg salad and other sandwiches using bread from Bigwood Bread.

Sun Valley resident Tommy Dunham watched passersby out the large picture windows— something he couldn’t do in the former Starbucks. And even some of the longtime fixtures at Tully’s Coffee moved their laptops into corners featuring vintage photos from filmmaker Warren Miller’s early years in Sun Valley.

“I think this new store is going to be the toast of the town,” said Ketchum resident Sandra Willingham. “It’s not like a

regular coffee shop. It’s a really happening place. There’s parking nearby, which the old one didn’t have. And it’s a fun place.

I’ve been here for an hour and I don’t want to leave.”

Starbucks had a mixed reception when it opened in Ketchum a decade ago. The Wall Street Journal mentioned it in a front-page article on Starbucks, noting that the chain even had a presence on “Main Street Sun Valley” where sheep ranchers used to hang out.

But locals who resisted the idea of the mega-chain gaining a foothold in K-Town joked for a while that it was the perfect place for those who wanted a quiet meeting place because so few people went there.

The franchise Starbucks, owned by principals Tim Flaherty and Jane Rizzo of the Cairde Group, has gained a following since. But some Ketchum coffee shop owners and restaurateurs protested that the Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency’s decision to rent public property to Starbucks—or any other private company—would give that company an unfair advantage.

Those nursing their cup of joe Friday morning shrugged off the controversy.

“I think it’s going to draw a

lot of people downtown—and they’ll go from here to other coffee shops and businesses,” said Ketchum resident Kathy Lynn.

“Anyone willing to pour money and energy into our town—we should embrace them,” said Ketchum resident Timi Ryerson. “I love the architecture, how edgy it is. I think the location will be fabulous for hanging out. It looks as if it will be a great public meeting place.” tws

Toasting the 35th Wild Game Feed

did you know?!

PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

D

on Wiseman had no shortage of accomplishments to list as he kicked off the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s 35th annual Fall Game Dinner and Auction: Kids on each of the national teams representing alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and freestyle.

An upcoming visit by the U.S. Olympic committee to consider Sun Valley as an Olympic Nordic and Paralympic training site.

A new ski academy.

And the first-ever Thanksgiving Alpine Training Camp, which will bring youngsters from McCall, Bogus Basin, Kelly Canyon and Mt. Hood to Sun Valley Saturday through Thanksgiving Eve. “It’s been quite a year,” Wiseman said. “And nobody owns the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation—we all own it.”

About 350 patrons responded in kind offering $9,500 for an Argentinean Lamb Asado for 40, as Argentinean ski coach Ruben Macaya looked on with an expression of amazement. One donor bid $7,500 on a ski racing and après-ski party at Dollar Mountain while another offered $6,000 to ski Baldy’s burned backcountry with two-time National Champion Bryon Friedman and Olympian/X-Games Champion Reggie Crist, followed by an overnight stay at Croney Cove.

And two people offered up $5,000 and $5,500 each to ski with the SVSEF’s newest member, Jonna Mendes, a Olympian and world champion medalist.

“I can absolutely tell you what you are doing is so worthwhile, helping to create wonderful human beings,” Mendes said, prom-

ising that none of the audience would be able to outski her.

Diners bid on a long list of silent auction items, including a chance to skateboard Gilbert’s secret stashes, an afternoon of waterskiing with two-time slalom water skier national champion Alison Poulson, an encaustic portrait by Caroline Woodham and a green home makeover with Green Irene.

Wiseman said Monday morning that the foundation was projected to net $170,000 from the event.

The money will pay about half the tuition costs of each of the 500 kids in the program.

“The tuition we charge covers only the coaches’ salaries,” Wiseman said. “The money we raise covers insurance, transportation and other costs.”

The Ski Education Foundation is unusual in raising funds to cover almost half of everyone’s tuition, he added.

“Essentially, everyone on the team receives a scholarship, no matter how much their parents make. Other teams charge a lot more. It’s pretty amazing we’re still able to do this—it’s a testimony to this community and

distinguished coach

Snowboard coach Jon French received the Jack Simpson Distinguished Coaches Award at Saturday’s Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation dinner.

French, a 1986 graduate of The Community School, has been coaching for 17 years. He’s coached every age and ability and was instrumental in helping to broker Sun Valley’s first half-pipe.

“He’s one of those unsung coaches we need to make this program work,” said Snowboard Director Andy Gilbert. “Without Jon, I don’t think we would have many of the amenities we do today.”

Joann Boswell Joins Other Locals in 11-11-11 Craze

iana Fassino wasn’t the only local resident who celebrated being born at 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month on Friday.

Joann Boswell’s three children—Patrice Cole, Craig and Stephanie—showed up at the doorstep of her Sun Valley home at 11 a.m. with a bottle of champagne. They then took her to lunch at Cristina’s. Then they capped the day off by taking in the Moira Smiley + VOCO concert before a light dinner at Gretchen’s restaurant.

“We came out and everything was blanketed with snow which

was literally the frosting on the cake!” said Boswell.

“It was a busy day, what with the birthdays and 11-11-11 weddings,” she added, referring to a last-minute decision by her friend Tai Suire to tie the knot with longtime boyfriend Kirk McGee at 11 in the morning that day.

Apparently, Cristina’s was busy with 11-11-11, as well.

One of Fassino’s friends, for instance, had Cristina’s make a cake for her friend decorated like the cover of Fassino’s book, “When the Cat Had My Tongue.”

It turned out just like a pop-up book cover. tws

“Let’s Talk About It” Book Club Meets Thursday

On Wednesday, Oct. 20, the Hailey Public Library’s “Let’s Talk About It” book club held their first discussion on Janet Campbell Hale’s book, Bloodlines. Scholar Carrie Seymour opened with an etymological and cultural exploration of the title, creating a lens for viewing the work.

The next book in our series is now available for checkout, even to those without a library card. Lives of the Saints in Southeast Idaho: An Introduction to Mormon Pioneer Life Story Writing was written by Susan H. Swetnam.

The Art of Uncertainty

Business Showcase

BY VEE RILEY

A

white, solid line, stained with dirt from recent rains, stretched out before me. I was driving toward a destination led by a computer.

It was the summer just before my senior year in high school.

My trip began in Boise, with the destination being the City of Giants. I was headed down an unfamiliar road on a journey that was daunting and mysterious. This was my first solo trip.

I felt as though I was about to discover something new along the way—who I was and the meaning behind my existence on earth.

The above scene is a passage from an essay written by my grandson, Sean, as he was preparing for college.

How many of us are traveling down an unfamiliar road, seeking to become more than we are, or have been in the past? What lies ahead is totally a mystery.

Walk through any bookstore, scan the titles, and you will find the words “uncertainty” and “life’s purpose” over and over. It is a natural tendency for us to want to grow beyond our present paradigm, and yet we resist change.

Fear is our biggest demon.

If we can work through it, and what is behind it, healing and opportunities present themselves. Willingness to change is the key. Find the emotion that is standing in the way (anger, jealousy, resentment or, you name it!) and take action. Move slowly, bit by bit, and you will begin to uncover your real self, and with it a whole new you, ready to embrace what is yet to be.

Just before my 84th birthday, I found myself experiencing fear.

Although it was subtle, I didn’t like the feeling. After walking in faith so many times in my life, it was a puzzle to me. After hours

Vee Riley

of meditation, reading books, and going within, it occurred to me that all I had to do was just BE! I had come to the edge of uncertainty, and in letting go, I found freedom.

In his book, “The Art of Uncertainty,” Dennis Merritt Jones gives us advice on how to live the mystery of life and love it. He tells of a family of sparrows living on the ledge under his patio awning. He has watched the parents gather sticks, feathers and so on, in order to give birth to a new generation. The helpless hatchlings grew to flying fledglings and each one experienced what it was like to come to the edge of uncertainty and spread their wings, flying into the unknown. They were safe.

My grandson, Sean, is now in his second year of college, living in a foreign country, facing challenges, and still seeking to become the person he was meant to be! tws

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, When I bought my condo I thought it would be great to live in a small community. After six months though, I learned that having neighbors so close is not as pleasant as I thought. One neighbor lets his cats out in the morning to use my son's sandbox as a litter box. My other neighbor is even worse. He doesn't think I know, but every morning he sneaks over and borrows my newspaper from the front porch. He puts it back an hour later hoping I won't notice. I probably wouldn't, except for the fact that he tears ads out of the classified section every week. Maybe condo life isn't for me. Any idea of a good place to live without neighbor problems?

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Cash: I can see how its difficult

to read the classified section when it looks like a mouse got to it first.

Unless you move to a deserted island, I think you're always going to have some neighbors that are more difficult to get along with than others.

Carry: Much like family, you can't always choose your neighbors. But you can choose how you deal with them. There are a variety of ways to solve your problems

Fast Facts Watchful Eye

Your neighbors could make a difference to your safety.

Neighborhood watch programs are among the most well-known crime prevention programs in the country.

Some surveys show that up to 20% of city residents are involved in a watch program. For more information about a program in your area or starting a watch for your community, contact you local police department or log onto www.usaonwatch.com. It might just be the next neighborly thing you do.

without moving to a new neighborhood. For example, put a cover on your son's sandbox to keep the cats out. Regardless of your neighbor's animals, it's a good idea to keep other wild animals from using the sand as well.

Cash: As for your other neighbor who likes to read the classifieds, we can't fault him for his passion.

However, he could take a different approach to getting his morning paper.

Carry: One of your best options for approaching the problem is to be direct, but polite. Confront your neighbor and ask that he refrain from taking your newspaper. Once he knows you are aware of his behavior, he will more than likely

stop.

"Won't you be my neighbor?" It's a catch phrase that was sung every week on the PBS television show, Mr. Roger's neighborhood. As an ordained minister, composer of over 200 songs and author of numerous books, Fred Rogers (a.k.a. "Mr. Rogers") based his show on respecting others and appreciating the world. Airing from 1968 to 2001, his work won four Emmys, including one for lifetime achievement, a Peabody award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Although Fred passed away on February 27, 2003, his memory lives on.

Cash: You're not alone in neigh-

bor problems. Even famous people have similar issues. Rosie O'Donnell once complained of her neighbor, Sean "P Ditty" Combs who put on an extravagant fireworks show at his home. Rosie spent the night consoling her scared children and pets.

Carry: The best approach to preventing future problems is to get acquainted with your neighbors.

People who are friendly with each other tend to have fewer problems.

Cash: And becoming friends with your current neighbor should be relatively simple. You already have one thing in commonâ&#x20AC;Śreading the classifieds!

Reader Humor Gates Closed

I was concerned about security when I moved to a small gated community just outside the city.

However, the real estate agent told me that there was a great neighborhood watch program headed by a very dedicated captain.

I wanted to get involved in the program so when I saw the man walking around the neighborhood with his clipboard, I invited him in for a cup of coffee. That's when he told me that people didn't normally invite him inside.

"That's surprising," I said. "I thought everyone would want to know the neighborhood watch captain."

"They probably do," he laughed. "But I'm just the guy who reads your electric meter."
