T Eli Roberts, of Ketchum, tries out a jump and rail feature he and his friends built Saturday on Dollar Mountain.

Sun Valley Gears Up For Opener STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

un Valley Resort plans to open parts of Bald Mountain and Dollar Mountain for its 77th season on Thursday. But Luke Rizzo and his friends couldn’t wait. They built a small ski jump on Dollar Mountain Saturday, packing it around a PVC pipe. “We have the craving to ski. We’ve been doing this for weeks,” said Rizzo, as he watched Eli Roberts, Hunter Diehl and Lieder Schwartz sail down the PVC pipe. Even Rod Tatsuno’s Siberian and Samoyed huskies couldn’t wait, either. The two took off when Tatsuno hiked them up the Warm Springs side of the mountain Saturday and soon found themselves on the River Run side where Sun Valley was staging a preseason ski racing clinic. A ski coach carried the 65-pound Samoyed down in his arms while the Siberian followed, howling all the way. “Instead of poaching the snow, they pooched it,” said Tatsuno. “Apparently, they wanted the good groomed stuff, too.” Due to warm temperatures, Sun Valley will open only the River Run side of Baldy on Thanksgiving Day. The River Run and Lookout Express will offer skiers access to Upper College, Roundhouse Lane and Mid and Lower River Run. The Kinderspielplatz moving carpet will also be in operation. Skiers and boarders will be able to ride the Quarter Dollar lift on Dollar Mountain to access Poverty Flats and Quarter Dollar Bowl. There’s certainly been plenty of precipitation in the week leading up to Thanksgiving Day. But most of it came down in translucent form, rather than as the white gold that powderhounds crave. The snow line hovered around 7,500 feet. Mountain Manager Peter Stearns said the resort was trying its hardest to get as much of the mountain open as possible. “But we’re definitely behind last year because of the warm weather,” he added. Groomers were able to groom a few trails around Galena Lodge and along the Harriman Trail from Prairie Creek north on Sunday after the area received six inches of heavy wet snow. But even they had to throw in the towel Tuesday morning after the area got rain instead of snow. Groomers are counting on colder

racey Baer is practicing saying Merry Christmas in Chinese for the onslaught of shoppers she expects to visit Sun Valley Signatures & Gift Shops over the holidays. “Shen Dan Kuai Le,” she chirps. Baer isn’t expecting an unusual number of visitors from Asia. But she’ll be stamping passports as window shoppers take a trip around the world via 3-D holiday decorations depicting Christmas in different countries. The decorations are going up this week in 13 different windows in the Sun Valley Village. Window shoppers will receive passports they can have stamped at each store. A bag of peppermint bark from Sun Valley’s Chocolate Foundry awaits those who complete the journey. “I think it will be a lot of fun,” said Baer, who oversees the gift shop. “We want to attract families from Twin Falls, even Bellevue and Hailey, to come up and spend time in the village,” said Jack Sibbach, Sun Valley’s director of marketing. Jonnie Hartman has been working from 7 in the morning until midnight since the weekend to install the threedimensional holiday decorations that are Sun Valley’s answer to the lavish Christmas window displays in larger cities like New York and Chicago. Sun Valley enlisted the help of four illustrators to provide the centerpiece of each display, which will be available for viewing Friday through Jan. 4. Danielle Davis, a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art with a passion for hand-lettering, typography and illustration, designed the displays for Italy, Scotland and Norway. England native Ben Javens, an illustrator for “The Guardian,” Warburton’s and Hugo Boss, has a penchant for caricatures. He did the illustrations for Austria, Russia and Germany. Miguel Ornia-Blanco, an illustrator, hand-letterer and animator from Argentina and England, designed the celebrations from Kenya, Switzerland, the United States and Mexico. And Helsinki, Finland, artist Janine Rewell interpreted festivities from China and France with what she calls an “absurd, yet naïve” approach with a modern Slavic touch. The artists created the scenes digitally, transferring the images onto flexible panels. A laser-cutting machine created borders and drifting snow. Hartman is installing the pieces and cloaking them in 2-foot, fold-out snow-

flakes, Chinese lanterns, colorful gumballs and Christmas ornaments. She strung brightly colored felt balls made by rolling felt in her hands like Play-dough and putting them in a dryer to shrink them. She strung handmade garlands and decorated a wreath for the Germany exhibit with hand-made crocheted flowers—all of which came in the back of a 40-foot truck. Hartman, who studied art illustration, has been decorating windows for Christmas for the past seven years for Struck design firm in Salt Lake City. She decorated Sun Valley owners Earl and Carol Holding’s Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City last year. That project served as the inspiration for this project in Sun Valley Village. “These windows are three to four times bigger than the ones at Grand America,” she said. The displays resemble pop-up illustrations in children’s books in some ways, Norman Rockwell paintings in other ways. “I look at these and think ‘These came out of my two hands?!’ Crazy!” she said.

Susan Savage shows off the passport that Sun Valley will offer window strollers.

“They take a lot of patience—the hooks holding one display came out the other day and I had to start all over. But I really enjoy going out after they’re all done and watching people enjoying them.”

anta seems to have the toy thing down, but he needs a little help when it comes to “saying it with flowers.” Luckily, he has Sue Bridgman and her crew to step it up in that category. Sue Bridgman Florist designers have been busy in their workshop creating innovative Christmas floral and wreath displays. And they’ll share their holiday floral art with the community in a Fest Zeit Friday through Sunday in Ketchum’s Colonnade building next to Ochi Gallery on Walnut Avenue. The Fest Zeit—“Festival Season” in German—runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. There’ll be contemporary and European-looking Christmas floral art. And Nancy Rutherford of Rolling In Dough will offer sweet treats during Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday. Meggi Corwin’s felt Christmas decorations will be for sale, as will other items, such as a sunflower with Christmas lights in the center. “We are trying to create excitement the weekend after Thanksgiving by showing new and European-looking Christmas floral art,” said Bridgman, whose stable of designers also includes Barb Leslie, Noi Hogan, Mary Ann Carpenter and Denise Trimble. “Everyone here is so talented—we thought the different looks would help customers get inspired for the holiday season.” Bridgman’s florists have always stoked the flames of creativity, creating avant-garde arrangements out of local and exotic plant stuff and presenting them to banks, libraries, hospitals and the local hospice. Each florist got to go to the World Horticultural Expo in The Netherlands this past summer where 163 acres of land was turned into a flower park encompassing a tropical treasure house, a mosaic replicating archaeological finds, giant fruit balls telling of the wonder of nature, gardens designed by famous landscape architects and

artists, and even objects such as a wedding dress completely bedecked with flowers. One display was like Disneyland created out of flowers—a forested area of houses built of willow, said Barb Barlow. “European floral arrangers have incredible, incredible ideas,” said Trimble. “Flowers are a huge part of everyday life there—not just for special occasions. And they appreciate craftsmanship more than Americans.” “We got inspired. We need to pass it on,” said Bridgman, who calls herself a “sculptor of flowers.” Bridgman, who earned an art degree at the University of California-Santa Barbara, realized she could take simple floral arranging to new heights while decorating for lavish embassy parties in Washington, D.C. She has maintained that passion, taking trips to Europe and Japan where she learned ways to use pebbles and rocks. When Dale Chihuly spoke at The Community Library, she donated an arrangement encompassing a five-foot stock crowned

with a single Chihuly rose that mimicked the shape of a Chihuly blown-glass masterpiece. She’s made complementary arrangements for the likes of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair when such dignitaries have spoken at Allen and Company conferences. And, slowly, she’s nurtured people’s desire for more creative displays, utilizing such exotic flowers as baksia, pincushion protea, cobra lily, hocus pocus roses, schwarzwelder callas, cymbidium orchids and old man’s beard. “I’m bored with plain old bouquets,” she said. “That’s why I’m always trying to come up with different ways to get people to notice flowers.”

Visitor Center Celebrates First Year STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

S

usan Desko had scarcely had time to recover from jet lag after returning from Istanbul where she accepted a prestigious American Architecture Award for the unique A-frame log building that houses the Sun Valley Visitor Center and Starbucks. But, she admitted, she was better rested Friday night than she was a year ago as the building prepared for its grand opening. “Last year we were working right up until the time it opened—and even as the opening celebration was going on. This time I was able to shower right up until 5 and take my time getting here,” she said. “I don’t even drink coffee, but it’s been fun to see so many people using this.” A crowd packed into the visitor center to eat birthday cake, and sip wine and nibble on hors d’oeuvres provided by Starbucks. “It’s hard to believe we were going to bulldoze this building,” said Ketchum Mayor Randy Hall. “Now we have a community asset that’s going to be here long after we’re gone.” Sun Valley Mayor Dewayne Briscoe, whose city has been feuding with Ketchum over the funding of the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance, quipped that Ketchum Mayor Randy Hall had given him a 24-hour visa and stamped his passport to allow him to attend the celebration. “Although geographically separated, we

share Ketchum’s downtown. And every day I see Sun Valley residents here drinking coffee,” he added. Desko, who is currently working on JUMP (Jack’s Urban Meeting Place), in Boise, worked on the visitor center on a pro-bono basis because of its painfully small budget. And on Friday night she handed out prize slivers of wood that read “A Slice of Sun Valley History—In Sincere Appreciation For Your Contribution” to a long list of building contractors and others who had donated services and products to the project. “Everything was done at a steep discount. It was really a barn-raising in

a modern sense,” said Greg Randolph, director of the visitor center. The project used reclaimed and deadfall logs from the area. Massive wood totems on the outside set the building apart from others in the area, while the totem motif is repeated inside around the visitor information hub. Stacked logs fill in the wall. The wood is sealed with a coating so it won’t burn, Desko assured those in the audience. “Hear! Hear!” yelled one excited patron. The unusual design earned a 2012 American Architecture Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Archi-

Tuesdays With Morrie STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

F

ormer Jackpot comedian and singer Danny Marona and Twin Falls drama and speech teacher James Haycock will star in Mitch Albom’s “Tuesdays with Morrie� Nov. 23-24 at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. The shows start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, available at 208-726-9124. The heartwarming play is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, a sports journalist who has a frequent guest at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. Albom also played with local author Ridley Pearson and the Rock Bottom Remainders for the YMCA’s annual fundraiser a few years ago. Sixteen years after graduation, Albom happened to spot his former college professor Morrie Schwartz on Ted Koppel’s “Nightline� where he learned his teacher was battling Lou Gehrig’s disease. Albom went to visit his former professor and soon found that his weekly pilgrimage from Detroit to Boston were making him rethink what he thought was important in life. “Morrie shaped not just Mitch’s life, but the lives of hundreds of kids who came through Brandeis University,� said Marona. “Kids were drawn to him like moths to a flame. They wanted to be like him. They wanted to feel what he felt.� Marona, who started his career as a boy soprano with the San Francisco Boys Chorus, spent 22 years working as a comedian and singer across the country, including Jackpot, Nev.—the Idaho border town where he did three shows a year for 22 years. “I thought my agent was kidding when he told me he had booked me in Jackpot—I’d never heard of it. But he promised to take me golfing at the Blue Lakes Country Club and it was everything he said it was. Within a few days I turned to my wife and I said I want to live

I’m a small-town guy at heart,â€? said Marona, whose father was a revival preacher who took his family all around the country. Marona and Haycock first presented “Tuesdays with Morrieâ€? at the Roper Auditorium in Twin Falls in July. They repeated the performance at Idaho State University in Pocatello. Marona calls “Tuesdays with Morrieâ€? a “powerful script concerning life’s most precious lessons.â€? “It has something for everyone, whether you’re eight or eighty,â€? he said. “It contains lessons you need to learn or lessons you learned but forgot. It’s heartfelt and heartwarming.â€? tws

Chapter One to Hold Celebration Party BY KAREN BOSSICK

C

hapter One Bookstore will hold a Celebration Party from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday to honor its inclusion in a new book, “My Bookstore: Writers Celebrate Their Favorite Places to Browse, Read and Shop.� The party, at Chapter One’s new store at 340 E. 2nd St., Ketchum, will feature Cristina Cook with her new cookbook, “Con Gusto: Cristina’s of Sun Valley,� along with book signings for local authors Charlie Brandt, Todd Pedderson, Mary Ann Davidson and Leslie Little. It also will feature s’mores that patrons can make on a fire pit outside the store and other refreshments. Amy C. Nelson will offer mini-seated massages and Meg Mazzocchi, new paintings. “I was lucky to get into it because it’s mostly East and West Coast bookstores. I was thrilled

about it—not just for myself but for all the independent bookstores and writers out there,� said Cheryl Welch Thomas, owner of Chapter One. The book, just off the press, features a number of authors— including Louise Erdrich, Ivan Doig, John Grisham, Daniel Handler, Wendell Berry, Terry Tempest Williams, Abraham Verghese and Timothy Egan— waxing eloquently about independent bookstores. Charlie Brandt, who wrote the essay on Chapter One Bookstore, called its owner, Cheryl Welch Thomas, “a matchmaker� for pairing his book up with people who are now turning his book, “I Heard You Paint Houses,� into a movie starring Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. “I’ve always considered Chapter One a sort of spiritual center,� said Brandt, as he described the many contributions of the store and its owner, Cheryl

Pat Thorne’s grandfather presented her with an early Steiff bear stuffed with wood shavings, but she lost it during one of her moves. She spent so much time doing genealogical research for her book at the LDS Center in Hailey that she got her own key to the place.

Sun Valley Resident Recounts Story of Her Grandfather and the Teddy Bear STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

I

t took 20 years. But, at last, Sun Valley resident Pat Thorne is done with her teddy bear book. The book, “The Untold Story of the Teddy Bear,” pays homage to her grandfather whom she says introduced the classic children’s toy to America and then named it after Teddy Roosevelt. Thorne will sign copies this weekend during three book signings: noon to 2 p.m. Friday at The Toy Store in Ketchum; 3 to 5 p.m. Friday at The Toy Store in the Sun Valley Mall; and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday at Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum. The books are also available at the Sheepskin Coat Factory, which plans to have mink teddy bears for sale along with the book. And it’s available on eBooks, amazon.com and at Barnes and Noble. The 149-page, soft-cover book features copies of old-time ads, mini-profiles of teddy bear collectors, and historic photos, such as the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. It also offers a rather fascinating look at the story of the teddy bear and the two people who played pivotal roles in making the bear a cultural icon. The story started with German-born Apollonia Margarete Steiff, who was paralyzed by polio when she was 18 months old. Her parents fashioned a little cart with which her sisters and friends could pull her about. And they enrolled her in needlework class where she learned to sew by turning her machine around backwards despite having only partial use of her right arm. Steiff began producing small stuffed toys in 1880, leading up to her first bear in 1902. But toy buyers declined to buy it because it was made out of plush mohair, a new, expensive fabric invented a year earlier by a German man. It was also too large, stiff and bulky to appeal to a child, they said. Thorne’s grandfather, Albion Parris Thorne, thought differently when he saw the bear at the annual spring fair in Leipzig. He placed an order for 3,000. The bears didn’t take off until 1906. But take off they did, becoming one of the classics in toy-dom.

“The purchase of 3,000 teddy bears was so large that he not only saved the company from going bankrupt but they had to enlist the help of all the people in their small town just to fill the order,” recounted Thorne, who closed her Northlight Photography Design Studio in 1992 to canvas German museums and research newspaper archives in Chicago, doing sleuth work for her book. “Of course, my grandfather’s company was not only shocked that he had gone over his budget but also that he had invested in such a large order for one item.” Like Steiff, Thorne had overcome challenges to become a toy importer for Chicago’s Carson Pirie Scott & Company. The eleventh of twelve children born in 1861—not long after the Civil War began—he contracted scarlet fever at age 10. That was about the same time that a lantern in O’Leary’s barn fell, igniting a major conflagration in the drought-plagued fall of 1871. Just as the fire destroyed a major portion of the city of Chicago, the fever took out part of Thorne’s hearing. His hearing loss prompted the young boy to run away from home and live with Indians who were more accepting of his loss. Eventually, he returned to Chicago where he lived with an older brother and got a job at the toy company. Thorne pictures her grandfather in a dark business suit, coat and hat with a watch chain hanging from one vest pocket and a large round hearing aid attached to the other. His pockets bulged with licorice sticks, cherry twists, black crows, bubble gum balls, lollipops, redhots, candy fried eggs and jelly beans. He whittled toys for kids and built ornate clocks, dollhouses and toy car garages. “He was a sweet man. It didn’t matter what we wanted to do—it was okay with him,” Thorne said. “He was a fan of the Chicago Cubs and Bears—I don’t know if it was because of their connection to bears. But what really impressed me was how he became a toy buyer even though he had lost his hearing and didn’t have much formal education.” tws

merican life is, by and large, divorced from the seasons of nature. We have many other seasons not marked by the solstice, the equinox or winter. We just had the summer driving season, and it’s now NFL football season, soon to be the jolly or shopping season. Since we’re hitting the road (we’re willing to drive about 200 miles before we opt to fly), I thought it’d be nice to visit some friends in Denver before the holidays. It’s only a hop, skip and a jump from here to the eastern edge of the world, which is the Mountain West. All travel requires organization, even if you’re just leaving the house to go into town. The unorganized cultivate regret. Don’t ever leave home without a checklist and a checkbook. We live and die by the decisions we make. I was due to leave on a Saturday, the day Brutus slammed into parts of the Mountain West. As many of us know, driving across Wyoming on I-80 in the winter can be hazardous to your health, so I waited a day. Sunday morning was clear and bitter cold; at 7:30, it was about 10 degrees, with gusting winds. It was the winter West. The windshield had to be scraped. The waitress at Zaney’s still had her parka on. It was way too cold to pump gas. If you want to make time, start early—easy if you’re single. Driving across the sagebrush flats past Timmerman Hill, I felt the land’s return to its elemental, sparse self. Just before Shoshone, a silver cloudbank filled the horizon. It was about a 50-foot frozen fogbank that brushed the sage, the grasses, the rabbitbrush, and everything else with a touch of frost. I was driving through a pale, ashen-white dream. I got out to walk in its soft silence. These small miracles can never make The Weather Channel. I was blessed with a beautiful day—sunny one minute, snow flurries the next. Speeding

through it on I-84 was like turning the pages of a splendid book and not really knowing what comes next. The frigid air and the relatively warm, snowless land make for active, big skies aided by the leftover bits of the passing storm. (Because we were on the southern edge of it, we got the skies but not the precipitation.) The northern Wasatch at Trementon had a few inches of snow. In its gullies, draws and narrow canyons, where water passed or collected, the scrub cover was dusted with snow. I was driving through a saltand-pepper landscape. I-84/I80 turns east and crosses the range south of Ogden. Here it was foggy and the cottonwoods still sported their golden leaves, decorated with touches of white. Cliffs of redrock completed what was another dreamscape, coupled with the 80-mile-perhour, high-speed reality of a busy junction filled with semis. Alas, it was not a place for pictures, or a leisurely stroll among the wonders. This frustration is common to all of us where, because of time and place, we just can’t grab the moment, the person, and all we can do is cast a wistful glance at what could have been. Past the wind farms that line a high bench in Arlington, the road opened and began its traverse of the lonesome expanses of the Red Desert. The unobstructed wind lashed the snowy land with gusts between 35 and 50 mph. Fingers and veils of blown snow snaked across the asphalt and troubles began for the semis; I passed three that were overturned. One pickup truck towing a long horse trailer must have jackknifed and was now facing traffic. A nice, new, brightly painted pickup was in a pasture, its front end smashed in. Life on I-80. Two tanks of gas got me 570 miles, into Rawlins at 5:30 p.m. A $45 motel room, a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, a couple of beers, and life was good, at least until the next day. tws

uy Nothing Day, an international protest against raging consumerism, falls on November 23, the same day as Black Friday, one of this country’s busiest shopping days. If you have clothing you’ve never worn, kitchen gadgets and sports paraphernalia you’ve never used, or even had produce rotting in the refrigerator, you have experienced overconsumption. As Americans, we are among the largest consumers in the world, and Buy Nothing Day is a chance for us to begin a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste. If you abstain from shopping on November 25, don’t just rush out and spend willy-nilly the next day. Ask yourself if you re-

ally need to make that purchase or if you are chasing the momentary joy of “something new” or “something on sale.” If you decide that you do need another chair, chose one with durability and good craftsmanship in mind, perhaps from a local craftsman. If you need a sweater, check the thrift shops or buy a good quality garment (locally) that you will wear and enjoy for years. This philosophy may cost you more per item, but the savings over buying gimmicky, cheaply made, and impossible to repair objects will be huge in the end.

Public Comment Sought For Multiple Projects in the Deer Creek Drainage

The Sawtooth National Forest is proposing to complete fish and wildlife habitat improvement, fuel reduction, and recreation projects over a 10-15 year period in the Deer Creek drainage on the Ketchum Ranger District. According to Kurt Nelson, District Ranger, “The proposed projects are intended to improve forest health, enhance wildlife and fish habitat, reduce the potential for uncharacteristic fire behavior near private land and communities, and provide sustainable recreation opportunities in the Deer Creek area.” The District is interested to learn if there are any issues of public concern that need to be addressed in their analysis. A scoping letter, with a list of activities and a map of locations of proposed activities, is available at the Ketchum Ranger Station, 206 Sun Valley Road, Ketchum. To be the most helpful, Bobbi Filbert, project leader, would like to receive written comments by Nov. 30, 2012. Comments should be sent to: comments-intermtn-sawtooth-ketchum@fs.fed.us

Avalanche Safety Seminar STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

E

milie DuPont’s eyes got wide as the bag on her back began burgeoning with air. A smile spread across her face as the bag became fully inflated. If she had been caught in an avalanche, she would have had the opportunity to pull the activation handle on the bag, using it to help her stay on top of the rushing snow. “The idea is you don’t get buried. You stay afloat,” Kirk Bachman, longtime owner of Sawtooth Mountain Guides, told those assembled at the Sawtooth Snow Safety Festival. “But they don’t take away the problem of avalanches,” cautioned Andy Munter of Backwoods Mountain Sports. “You could still run into a tree if you get swept up in a snowslide.” More than a hundred people turned out for the Snow Safety Festival Saturday at Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. They availed themselves of snacks donated by Rico’s Pizza, Hailey Coffee Company, Albertson’s and other businesses. They watched a slideshow that Eric Leidecker and Chris Lundy presented on skiing the couloirs of Williams Peak and other Sawtooth Mountains. And they got an opportunity to try the latest avalanche beacons, while reviewing ways to exercise good judgment when playing in the snow. “Your mindset needs to change when you duck the ropes

Today’s beacons are much easier to use and more exacting than the old ones of 15 years ago.

on Baldy,” avalanche forecaster Blasé Reardon told them. “ ‘Sidecountry’ is no different than ’backcountry’.” Most avalanche deaths in Idaho occur when the forecast is “considerable,” he added. Scott Savage, new head of the Sawtooth National Forest Avalanche Center, said that someone once asked the mailman at Utah’s Cottonwood Canyon how he never got caught in an avalanche in the days before avalanche control was as advanced as it is now. “Simple,” he said. “I always wait until a few days after the storm before I go up there.” Instabilities caused by new snow “heal” quickly, Savage said. Persistent instabilities caused by a weak layer of surface hoar take longer. A study of professions determined that they got caught most often due to poor decision-mak-

ing rather than tricky snow, Savage added. Even distractions, such as a fight you had with your girlfriend earlier in the morning, play a large role in poor decisionmaking. “Minimize the number of people exposed,” he said, urging skiers and boarders to stay in safe areas so they can watch another skier while he makes his way across a potentially risky area. “When two people are buried, there’s an 80 percent chance one dies.” And practice, practice, prac-

tice with your avalanche beacon, Sun Valley’s Snow Safety Director Rich Bingham exhorted the crowd. Even longtime guide Pete Patterson makes at least one trip to the beacon part to practice finding a buried receiver whenever he’s in town, Bingham said. Gunnar Ohlson was among several Community School students who tested their skills on avalanche beacons. “I took a Level 1 avalanche course last year, so this was a good refresher,” he said. tws

Business Showcase Covers Everything STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

hey covered everything from birth to death at the 20th annual Business Showcase Thursday night, with a few lawyers and tax accountants sprinkled in to take care of everything in between. Dozens of people turned out to the robust gathering at Sun Valley’s Limelight Room, which was sponsored by Zions Bank and Sun Valley Company. Sun Valley trotted out some of the new menu items that will be featured this winter at its restaurants, including a Lamb Sausage Pizza with Goat Cheese, Pine Nuts, Roasted Peppers and Tomatoes that is available at Bald Mountain Pizza. Megan Gergen handed out beautifully decorated cupcakes as she showed off some of the features Sun Valley Resort can offer those who are about to tie the knot. Sturtevants handed out coupons good for a free ski demo, as its representative showcased some of the hot new products for the slopes. And Codrin Iorga had people sniffing up a storm as he trotted out a host of Sun Valley Candles made of soy. One attendee boasted how she had found someone to handle tax questions concerning her mother’s estate, while another told how he’d found a lawyer to help him draw up his will. “This is fun,� remarked a newcomer to the Valley. “It’s a good, easy way to get to know some of the businesses in the area.� tws

n our last article we talked about some of the new ski boot developments which have made today’s boots more comfortable, user friendly, and better performing. What was left out of this summary of ski boots was something I’ll call the foundation. This was left out for a reason as it merits it’s own separate discussion. For this article I’ll refer to this foundation as the “footbed” of the boot, the piece we stand on. As in building a house, the foundation in our ski boots, (the footbed), affects everything going on above it. A solid foundation below creates a platform to provide alignment, power, and stability for everything above. So what we’re getting at here is that the foot needs a proper foundation to stand on to support the joints above. Support the foot properly and the ankles, knees, hips, and spine will all fall into alignment to create an athletic and powerful ski stance, i.e. better skiing. The other side of the coin is that being properly aligned can reduce or eliminate many painful issues in the feet and/or joints, i.e. more comfort. Who doesn’t desire better performance and more comfort?! Now, you’ve just decided to purchase these great new ski boots offering the latest and best technology available for $600 and your boot fitter brings up the issue of a replacing the existing “footbed” with something better, costing yet a few more dollars. Trust me, the boot manufacturers are behind the shops on this one, putting an inexpensive piece of material in the bottom of the boot with the expectation that a good boot fitter will likely replace it with something more appropriate as a foundation. Now, there are a lot of different options out there, ranging from around $40 for a nice “trim to fit” off the shelf model to $100 or more for a completely customized footbed made specifically for your foot. The factors you and your bootfitter need to consider are how stable or athletic is your foot and how much support is needed. A strong, stable athletic foot would generally require a bit less support while a foot prone to collapsing would benefit from more support. Try some of the demo models available in the shop while your making the decision on your new boots, I’m confident you’ll feel the difference. In our shop we offer a 100% guarantee on all of our boots and footbeds, so strongly consider the options for your new, (or older), boots. What have you got to lose, except better performance and more comfort. Happy turns!

movie review

...Ya Know? BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7 FM

I

n the late seventies, The Ramones were my group. The minute I heard “Blitzkrieg Bop,� I was all in; I tore the knees out of pants and bought a black leather jacket as soon as I could afford it. I would carry their albums to parties, only to have them ripped off the turntable by Blue Oyster Cult-loving mulletheads who didn’t get rock with three-chord simplicity. I had the chance to see them a couple of times, once with Dee Dee, once without. I lived out my dreams, Ramones-wise. The Ramones typified everything I loved about rock ‘n’ roll; less style and more noise. I mourned the loss of the band when they took their final tour and the loss of both Joey and then Johnny when they passed, but I rejoiced when Joey Ramone’s ...Ya Know? was released earlier this year. ...Ya Know? is a collection of demos that Joey was working on when he died in 2001, which were finished by his brother,

Mickey Leigh, and longtime producer, Ed Stasium, with the help of many of his Bowery (or Bowery-influenced) friends: Joan Jett, Bun E. Carlos, Lenny Kaye, Handsome Dick Manitoba, Little Steven Van Zandt and Jean Beauvoir, among many, many others. They all came together to put together what Joey couldn’t finish—a collection of songs that showed that Joey was more than just The Ramones’ front-man— he was a rock legend who had more to offer when he was taken from us way far too early. tws

You Can Be Part of This Video Game Jon rated this movie

BY JONATHAN KANE

H

ave you ever wanted to enter into a video game and actually be a part of the action? Well, in the new Disney animated feature Wreck-It-Ralph, your wish can be granted. In this visually resplendent film, the whole world of arcade games turns into a fantasy world that you can’t resist. Directed by Rich Moore, whose credits include The Simpsons and Futurama, and produced by John Lasseter, who created Toy Story, the pedigree of the creative talent is obvious. So is the brilliant voice work of John C. Reilly as Ralph – our forlorn hero. Ralph is a villain who yearns to be good. For thirty years he has been the bad guy in a retro arcade game called Fix-It-Felix junior. A giant with massive hands and arms, Ralph systematically destroys an apartment house only to have Felix (voiced marvelously by Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock) come to the rescue and with his magic hammer restore everything. McBrayer embodies the do-gooder, with Ralph relegated to sleeping in the dump while Felix lives in

the penthouse. After attending a hilarious group meeting of Bad-Anon, Ralph decides that the solution to his problem is to get a medal. To do this he goes what the movie calls “turbo� and abandons his game to enter the worlds of other games. His first stop is the ultra-violent military game where he meets a tough sergeant voiced by Jane Lynch who later becomes his love interest. There he gains his medal, only to lose it to a sassy youngster, voiced by Sarah Silverman, in a land of candy and bright palettes of beautiful colors called Sugar Rush (named appropriately for the kids in the audience experiencing that high). The picture culminates in a big race of sugar-coated candy cars, with Silverman winning (what else would you expect?) and Ralph attaining his long-sought-after respectability. He returns to his game a happy camper and all ends well. The script, by Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston, works well for both kids and adults, with jokes that both will enjoy. The animation, which is probably amazing in 3-D, the format that it was released in, is tremendous. Even in 2-D, it has a lot of flash for the buck. Probably the most memorable touch is a cave of dangling Mentos that drop explosively into a diet cola hot springs. Perhaps the best kid movie in months, Wreck-It-Ralph scores big with both kids and adults alike. tws

a recipe‌from my table to yours Why did you choose this recipe? It’s a favorite of mine, and with the holiday season coming up, I thought it would be a good one. What got you interested in cooking? LOL. My mom worked full time when I was younger so our dinners were often things like canned beef stew or TV dinners (it was the mid-’60s). I am a very earthy Taurus who loves food and that fare didn’t really satisfy me, so at 14 or so, I started cooking for the family. How long have you lived here? I moved here about 14 months ago. What do you like about the Valley? The beauty, the serenity, the small, hometown feel and, most importantly, the kind and loving nature of the people. Anything else? There is something in the works dealing with my views/philosophy, and those of several others, regarding growing community via the local economy, but it’s a bit too soon to mention any details. Very excited about it, as it is part of a vision I’ve held for as long as I can remember. I’ll keep you posted!

appetizers Shrimp-Stuffed Mushrooms by Joyce Skyfire Valenzano 6 mid-size Portobello mushroom caps Frozen shrimp; uncooked, 4150 count

Swiss cheese Veggie or mushroom broth (for broth, I use organic, it’s better) Breadcrumbs

Remove stems from caps, clean undersides of mushroom caps. Place chopped stems, cubed cheese and chopped shrimp (leave 6 whole to top mushrooms with) in a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs to cover mix of ingredients and toss together. Add enough broth to dampen the mixture so it sticks together. Fill caps, placing whole shrimp on top; place them in baking dish, pour broth to about ½ inch, cover with foil and bake slowly (325 degrees) until tender (45 minutes). Serve with side of steamed broccoli for a wonderfully succulent dinner. Thank you, Joyce, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

T

he Walking Gourmet does not only feature restaurants, as you might think, but also some other easily-strolled-to delights, such the “factory� mentioned here. With this thought in mind, this November I am featuring our yummy Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. This is one of over 300 franchised stores in the US and Canada; however, Julie Gardner, owner of the Ketchum franchise, has made it her own. She makes over 22 varieties of carmel apples, chocolate bark, fudge, and additional dipped (such as pretzels, nuts, etc.) yummies. In fact, Julie’s 4-year-old son’s favorite is his mom’s Apple Pie Carmel Apple, which is her top seller. And, in case you are not quite in the mood for chocolate, Julie also features Blue Bunny Brand ice creams in a multitude of glorious flavors. Julie started out in Seattle, Wash., as a junior high school teacher. She taught English and history and loved teaching the children of that age group because they were so enthusiastic to learn. However, Julie fell in love with the Sun Valley area,

where she often vacationed winters to ski and summers to play tennis. She was ready to bite the bullet and move to the Valley permanently. However, she kept wondering what kind of business she could do here. Finally, about 12 years ago, a Realtor mentioned that the Chocolate Factory, which had been here for many years, was on the market. For Julie, this was an easy decision. For Julie’s joyful nature, this business was a perfect fit. She says that even after 12 years, she’s not “sick of it.â€? Mainly, she enjoys her store so much because the people who walk in are happy. (Well, think about it—you certainly aren’t going to be sad eating and buying chocolate. Or maybe you might be sad when walking in, but you sure are going to get happy fast!) So, for your personal holiday joy as well as a bit of something chocolaty to share with others, don’t forget a visit to this wonderful store. And remember, January is the month to diet—NOT NOVEMBER AND tws DECEMBER! This once-monthly column features our wonderful Valley restaurants to which we can easily stroll—sometimes with the help of a bus or car ride—and is therefore called The Walking Gourmet.  I hope that it will be a helpful guide for would-be diners as well for all of our fine local eateries.

o matter how much it hurts, no matter how long you’ve suffered, no matter how many different pills you’ve taken or how many practitioners you’ve seen, the unique physical therapy programs I am devoted to can alleviate your symptoms and begin the healing process. I’ve had pain, too. I’ve been a patient. I’ve also been a physical therapist for 26 years and know what works and what doesn’t. I have learned that painful conditions occur, not necessarily because of what we do but, rather, because of how we do it. Please take a moment to really allow that to sink in. I have also learned that the body will “default� to strong, accustomed habits, leaving muscle groups imbalanced—even if you climb Baldy daily. I have seen clients performing a particular exercise to strengthen a specific muscle group, even though the body is obviously substituting with every other muscle but the one targeted! So where to start? With a good detective, of course! A good detective starts with questions, and lots of them. I want to know what recreational activities he/she has or is currently participating in. Knowing repetitive movement patterns can, for example, explain why a muscle group on, say, one side of the back, is so much more pronounced (hypertrophied) than the other. I ask about sleeping and working positions, hobbies, and even the use of bifocals to get a very clear picture of the load that the body undergoes throughout the day. I need to know if a mom carries a child habitually on her left hip to accommodate righthanded tasks, or if a river guide in a paddleboat always captains from the right side of the boat, or if a skater only ever initiates her jumps from one leg. I then proceed with an examination that looks not only at muscle length and strength, but at the subtle movements that accompany a task. Does, for example, the thighbone rotate excessively inward as one straightens one’s knee when moving from sitting to standing? When I ask for an isolated hip movement, does the entire lower back move to accommodate a weak hip muscle? Something as subtle as this will produce excessive twisting in the spine and, eventually, back pain. One of the hardest concepts for people to grasp is that they themselves are actually part of their own pain pattern. Think about it: You are with yourself 24/7! Pain is not an evil enemy

that should be vanquished at all costs—pain is simply the messenger. Let’s bring the above concepts together in this example: Using “detective work� while treating a client, we uncovered an old left-knee injury that prevented her from squatting evenly while working in her garden. To accommodate this lack of knee bending, she compensated with excessive pelvic rotation with each weed pulled. She was only aware of the same right low-back pain every time she gardened, which seemed a mystery to her since she was so conscious of not bending over (as instructed by her previous therapist). Over time, her pelvic rotation created instability in the lower back and weakness of the left hip. Treating just the back in this case would be a waste of time, effort and money. The hip needs to take center stage, and the patient must be taught conscious activity modification to unload the back. Remember, it was the knee that started this domino effect, the back that manifested the symptom, and the hip that was caught in the middle! Over the years I’ve heard statements such as “I just need to get stronger.� I believe that, ultimately, you must move better to even begin to get stronger. Another favorite is, “I’ll start PT when I’m out of pain.� I’ve never understood how this can be effective without breaking the pain cycle that starts with poor or absent movement awareness. A confession is called for here. I have a love-hate relationship with pain. It’s what keeps me employed and loving what I do, but I hate seeing people continue to suffer because they are being treated or treating themselves from the wrong direction. Think of it as the tail wagging the dog. Ridiculous, you say? Please, take a moment to consider if your treatment approach is doing just that. tws

OBIT

WINTER WONDERLAND, from page 1

Olive (Ollie) cossman

Kelly Mitchell, retail manager for Sun Valley, said the window decorations with their aroundthe-world theme are very fitting for Sun Valley, given the fact that it’s a European-inspired resort. “Sun Valley has done a heck of a job with improvements this year to make everything more fun and inviting,” added Jenny, as she vacuumed the carpet at Panache. “I think this will be a place people will want to shop and stroll with family and friends.”

O

live (Ollie) Marguerite Cossman passed away on Saturday morning, November 17 surrounded by her granddaughter Leila Cossman Nelson and loving caregivers and friends after a brief struggle against lung cancer. She was born April 17, 1933 in South Portland Maine to Irma Ratz and Chester Ellis, the youngest of four children. She was a multi-talented individual and her Idaho friends will be surprised to know that, in Maine, she was a contralto soloist and won state competitions for her singing. As a young girl, she also read the Bible through twice and loved to invent words in Latin. Ollie came to Sun Valley in 1954 with her best friend Ellie, during a break from her studies at the University of Southern Maine. She came for a season and never left. Her first job at Sun Valley was as a waitress in the Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room. There she met “the smartest and the nicest man” she ever knew, Jack Cossman. They were married in December 1957, in Elkhorn, Nevada. All these years later, one of the things Ollie appreciated most about Jack was that “he thought I was totally capable of thinking for myself.” Ollie always said that in Maine there were too many “shoulds.” In Sun Valley she found the freedom that she had always craved in New England. Ollie and Jack had fun. They loved life and didn’t take things too seriously. Lee and Jimmy Limes were their best friends in those early years, so Jimmy’s music was a big part of their social lives. In the 50’s and 60’s, Ollie, Jack and Ned Bell ran a football pool out of Ned’s bar The Rio Club; Jack and Ned took the bets and Ollie kept the books. Jack even won the down payment on their house in a poker game. The couple had one son, Nicolas Cossman, in 1958. She loved to reminisce about a time when Nick was about five years old. He was eating his morning pancakes, looked up and said: “If someone came here, they would say this is a happy, happy house!” She had an especially warm and loving relationship with her granddaughter Leila. When Leila was picked up at the airport by retired Idaho State Representative Wendy Jaquet last month, she remarked, “Wendy, you know almost as many people as Nana!” When Jack passed away in 1982, the Community Library became the focus of her life. She began volunteering at the Library in 1962 and was hired by Dottie Thomas as Assistant Librarian in 1976, when the library only had a staff of four.

Let’s Talk

She traveled to Twin Falls two to three times a week to take classes to get certification in Library Science while holding down a full-time job. In 1988, Ollie was promoted the Head Librarian and later was named the Executive Director of the Community Library. Working with the Executive Board of the Library, Ollie organized three building expansions of the Library building including the construction of the Children’s Library in the late 1990s. Ollie ushered the Library into the computer age in the early 1990’s. Her career at the Community Library spanned 43 years. Ollie loved words, books and reading. She traveled and played tennis. She loved cats. She loved dogs. She was addicted to the New York Times Crossword Puzzles and placing friendly bets on football games with her good friend Jerry Lane. Before her illness, when asked where she’d like to meet for lunch, she’d say, “I don’t care. I never met a food I didn’t like.” Her friends will miss her irreverent sense of humor and her infectious laughter. Ollie and her friends and family would like to thank all of the wonderful people at Hospice and Palliative Care of the Wood River Valley and her caregivers for the gentle and gracious care they gave her. The Ketchum Fire Department came to her rescue several times when she had need of them over the last few months. Thank you. Ollie is survived by her son Nick (Andy) Cossman of Orleans, California and granddaughter Leila (Tyler) Cossman Nelson of San Diego, California, great-grandchildren Tyrus and Little Olive and a brother Robert L. Ellis (Janet) of Oakland Maine. Arrangements are being made through Wood River Chapel. A celebration of Ollie’s life will be held at the home of Jim and Wendy Jaquet at 510 Mesquite, Hulen Meadows on Saturday, November 24 from 4:00 – 6:000 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials in her name may be made to The Community Library or Hospice and Palliative Care of the Wood River Valley. Please visit www.woodriverchapel.com to leave a condolence, share photos and light a candle. tws

Going All Out Sun Valley is going all out this holiday season. Workers have strung more lights than ever before—some of them under the watchful eye of Sun Valley owner Carol Holding, who looked on one grey blustery day. On Saturday, workers hung giant lollipops from the chandeliers in Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge, along with Christmas decorations on the elks’ antlers. And, just for good measure, they sent elves scampering up the huge lodge beams while laying others across the Ski School desk. Add to that the inaugural Holiday Window Stroll, a gigantic gingerbread village display, a Christmas horns concert, breakfasts with Santa, and more. And it all starts on Friday— the day after Thanksgiving. The resort is trying things out this year with the expectation of expanding on this year’s creations next year, said Tim Silva, general manager of Sun Valley Resort. “We hope this new experience will become an annual Sun Valley family tradition,” he said. On Saturday, Dec. 1, Sun Valley will cut the ribbon at 1 p.m. on a 16-by-24-foot Gingerbread Village in Sun Valley’s Boiler Room. The village will include the Sun Valley Lodge and the Snowball Express train, which transported skiers from Los Angeles to Sun Valley in the resort’s infancy. There will be a Window Stroll Scavenger Hunt between 1 and 4 p.m., A Taste of Sun Valley tapas from The Ram Restaurant and Bald Mountain Pizza between 3 and 5 p.m., wagon rides around the village from 2 to 4 p.m., and the arrival of Santa at 3:30 p.m. on The Ram deck. Everything is free. On Saturday, Dec. 8, Sun Valley and the Boise Philharmonic will present an hourlong concert of holiday and Christmas favorites at 5 p.m. at the Sun Valley Opera House.

Look through the doorways and windows in this Norman Rockwell-like scene at Pete Lane’s to see a little boy watching TV while Mom and Dad give each other a big smackaroo.

The concert will feature the Boise Philharmonic Quintet composed of two trumpeters, a trombone player, a tuba player and a horn player. Admission is free, but a $5 donation or donation of a new, unopened toy is encouraged for southern Idaho’s Toys for Tots program. Sun Valley will also offer an 80th birthday salute to Bogner skiwear from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Brass Ranch. There’ll be refreshments and giveaways, and 10 percent of all purchases will benefit the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Also on Dec. 8 Sun Valley holds the first of six Breakfasts with Santa. Santa will join children and their parents at a breakfast buffet Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 23 in the Lodge Dining Room. Cost is $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. Children ages 3 and under will be admitted free. Reservations: 208-622-2800. On Dec. 15 Sun Valley will light the village Christmas tree. The fun starts at 5 p.m. with complementary cookies, cocoa, cider and coffee offered on the sidewalks of Sun Valley Village. Ice carvers will carve sculptures and the Sun Valley Carolers, decked out in their Dickenson costumes, will sing a few numbers from the patio of the Sun Valley Inn. Santa will come rolling in on a sleigh pulled by a miniature pony after the tree lighting. Noon to 4 p.m. that day has been dubbed “Fun Day” at Pete Lane’s with free Smith helmet fittings for kids, fun with Lucky Bum toys, refreshments and music. On Friday, Dec. 21, Sun Val-

This year’s selection boasts cross-country ski goggles that flip down over wool ski hats, said Backwoods’ buyer Libby Holtz. Salomon has replicated the windstopping pants that were so popular last year with men, for women. Rossignol has lowered the heel of its boots to give skate skiers more power while making a bigger box for its boots. And Rossignol skis are easier than ever to ski, thanks to a lighter tip, said Muffy Ritz.

ley will hold its Fifth Annual Classical Christmas Concert at 7:30 p.m. in the Sun Valley Opera House. The concert will feature tenor John Mauldin, soprano Leslie Mauldin, and baritone pianist Jud Moss, who performed for the rock band Air Supply, as well as with the Los Angeles, New York and other Philharmonic orchestras. Also appearing: the Hatvani Chamber Ensemble, the Sun Valley Carolers and other guest artists. Tickets are available at 888-6222108 or 208-622-2135. On Saturday, Dec. 22, Sun Valley will hold a gingerbread house-building extravaganza for youngsters from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Boiler Room. Refreshments will be provided, as will all the M&Ms, candy canes and other house-building supplies young builders could need. Admission is $30 at the door. On Christmas Eve, Sun Valley will trot out its colorful “Nutcracker on Ice,” which has long been its gift to the community. The free show on Sun Valley’s outdoor ice rink features amateur and professional skaters—2010 Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek has even made an appearance the past two years. The performance also features a cappella Christmas songs from the Sun Valley Carolers, a torchlight parade down Dollar Mountain, fireworks, a visit from Santa and free skating following the show. Complementary cookies, cocoa, cider and coffee will be offered on the Sun Valley Lodge Terrace preceding the show at 5 p.m. The show begins about 5:30 p.m. Dress warm and bring a blanket for your tush.

Ditching Church to Put Faith in Action

ags hanging from the doorknobs at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood might have left church visitors scratching their heads. “Don’t go to church,� the tags exhorted. “Be the church.� A sign on the front door echoed the sentiments. “Church CANCELLED,� it said. Then it added: “Service BEGINS.� Indeed, more than 150 church members ditched church last Sunday morning to go out into the neighborhoods from Ketchum to Bellevue in a project they called “Laboring for Our Neighbor.� The idea: to learn firsthand about the life of service that Jesus teaches in the gospels, said Kirsten Cleveland, who served on the Faith in Action organizing team, along with Dennis Hanggi, Janet Anderson and Jane Henley. One group spent the Sunday redecorating a patient’s room at Blaine Manor. Another painted the youth HUB at the Community Campus in Hailey. One group picked up trash along the highway. Another stuffed and stamped envelopes for Hospice, while another did some handiwork for The Advocates. Still another cleaned out a townhouse in Ketchum that ARCH planned to offer as affordable housing for a single mother and her children. Gail Shira got to experience the event from two sides. She worked with one group while another group readied a home that her daughter was about to move into. “It got me out of my box,� she said. “My initial desire was to be working on my daughter’s project, but I had to relinquish control. “I ended up raking leaves for a woman in Bellevue while I

would’ve felt more comfortable doing a project inside a home. But it turned out a humbling experience. And I’m so grateful for the group that did do the work on my daughter’s house.� “What stood out to me is that little changes can make a big difference. And that’s what our sermon the week before was about—how little changes can make big differences,� said Lorraine Davis. Sharon Bockemohle, who worked on the ARCH house, said the exercise showed what can be accomplished in a group. Everyone went in a different direction—one to do the carpets and another to do windows. Still others sorted and packed the home’s contents, such as extra light bulbs, into boxes and hauled them to local thrift stores. “By working together like that we had the house looking completely different by the end of the day,� she said. “It was a good feeling to know we were helping people and it was fun to do something that made an obvious difference. We were really being tws God’s servants.�

ennifer Bellinger spent the past two winters in a tent in Scottsdale, Ariz., where she painted and sold art seven days a week for 10 weeks alongside 99 other artists. She loved working outside the home—“I quickly learned that I was quite a fast painter without the interruptions of working at home,” she said. But, still, she yearned to be back home in Ketchum. So this year she opted to bypass the Celebration of Fine Art show to open up a pop-up gallery and studio in Ketchum. Bellinger will celebrate her gallery’s opening at 511 4th St. across from Atkinsons’ Market and next to Maison et Cadeaux during Friday’s Gallery Walk. The Thanksgiving Weekend Gallery Walk, from 5 to 8 p.m., offers locals and visitors alike an opportunity to visit with artists and gallery owners while perusing new art and enjoying wine, sparkling water and a few nibbles. Bellinger, a professional fine artist for more than 35 years, is known for her oil landscapes of Idaho, her pet portraits and depictions of barnyard life, and her still-lifes. She recently embarked on an “ABC Challenge” where she painted one painting a day depicting a subject beginning with that day’s letter. She started with Avocado and Blueberry and ended with Zatec Czech Lager. Her work in the gallery will be augmented by Kimberly artist Dave LaMure, Jr.’s, bronze and clay vessels, famous for their depiction of wildlife. Also, the bronze sculptures of Russ Lamb of Bellevue and Ken Newman of Cambridge, and the handcrafted pieces of Ketchum furniture maker Wes Walsworth. “I’ve had wonderful patrons in Sun Valley for 20 years so it’s wonderful to be represented in a high-end gallery,” said LaMure. “This is an opportunity for people who have collected my work in the past to see my new work—it’s always evolving. And it gives me a chance to show my work to a new audience, as well. My glass work continues to evolve, for instance, with works under glass.” Bellinger has taught private oil painting workshops and public workshops through the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. She expects to give out miniart lessons on the spot as she works in her new gallery. “People love to see how you begin your paintings and I love teaching,” she said. “I enjoy the interaction and sharing my process. I love taking people from the beginnings of mixing paint to the finished product.” The Jennifer Bellinger Art Studio & Gallery will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays.

Featured artists include Ovanes

Expressions Gallery, in The Courtyard at 360 East Ave., has donned a new name — Wood River Fine Arts an Expressions Gallery. The name change comes as Dave and Molly McGary include new partners Tom Bassett and Sandy Gregorak in the gallery. The couple moved to Sun Valley from Vail, Colo., where Bassett managed a Vail gallery for 24 years and supervised the ski school at Beaver Creek. Gregorak is a lawyer and outdoor enthusiast. They hope to introduce an educational component to the gallery, as they educate people about art. Bassett has placed nearly two dozen of McGary’s monumental works in Canada and across the United States. He plans to introduce new artists to the gallery as it expands its fine arts inventory to include artists from around the nation. McGary and his wife Molly McGary opened Expressions Gallery two years ago as a space for his sculpture, as well as for works by other artists. As homeowners in Sun Valley for the last seven years, the McGarys are also residents of Scottsdale, Ariz., where the couple has maintained a gallery for 17 years. The McGarys plan to live in Sun Valley full-time in the near future and opened Expressions Gallery to become part of the community. The gallery is a member of the Sun Valley Galtws lery Association.

STORY & PHOTOS BY ADAM PORTH

T Brand Gets in the Game BY JONATHAN KANE

W

ood River High School senior Trevor Brand is a really good soccer player. So good, in fact, that he was named All-Conference Player of the Year last year. Playing center back, he is the last line of defense before the goalie, and to hear him tell it, there’s no place he’d rather be. “I can see the whole field from back there and control everything. There’s a lot of pressure and you have to be very loud and vocal and let everyone know what’s behind them. Once a man gets past you, there’s not a lot that the goalie can do.” He added, “I love soccer because it’s so different, because you don’t play with your hands, so you have to perfect foot skills, and that doesn’t come naturally, and they’re pretty hard. Also, it’s a fast game and I like to run and be physical and it’s a lot more physical than people realize. As long as the ball is in play, you can pretty much hit someone.” Brand got off to an early start at the age of seven playing forward for the Sawtooth United and now splits his time between Wood River and the Boise Nationals — a club team. He joined the Nationals at thirteen and moved from forward to center back. “I was a little better than the other kids, so they picked me.” Since then, they have been state champs five years in a row and also made it to the regional finals. In that time they have only given up three goals. Brand’s parents have been ardent supporters. “Since the age of thirteen, they have driven me to Boise two or three times a week. The third trip we stay for the entire weekend. We start after the high school season ends and then we play until Thanksgiving. Then we start up again in mid-January and play until June. Then we play in the state tournament and then, if we’re lucky, it’s on to the regionals where the top eight teams in the country go. We made it to the finals once but lost to Northern California 3-1. That was really crazy. You had Fox Sports and ESPN there doing interviews, and all the college scouts. It was unreal for a sixteen-year-old.” This year, Wood River took third place in the 4A state tournament two weeks ago and Brand was named All-Conference Player of the Year by the coaches. To continue on to a Division 1 ca-

reer in college, you need to make your plans your junior year, but Brand declined. “I want to go to a big university and it would just take up too much of my time. Also, by the end of your junior year, all the scholarships are taken and the colleges all have their commitments. But ever since the season ended, I’ve been thinking a lot about playing. No matter what, I’ll play club soccer. I don’t have time for more. It’s fun and I happen to be good at it. The schools that I’ve been looking at include the University of Oregon, Arizona State, Northern Arizona and West Virginia.” Brand moved here with his family at the age of seven from Las Vegas. “I was young but I remember being scared of cities. When we moved here, things were a lot different, but my parents still had trouble trusting things. Here, I was hanging out in town with friends at 11 [p.m.], and that’s something I wouldn’t have done in Las Vegas until I was 17. You don’t have to worry about crime here and at night you never have to lock your doors. I’ve really enjoyed growing up here because you get to know everyone. I guess the downside is that everyone knows everything about you Sometimes they know more about me than I know about myself!” At Wood Rive, Brand is copresident of the senior class. “It’s a real honor,” he said, “and I decided to step up to the challenge. I really like it. It’s really new to me and I never really hung out with kids in the Student Union and I wanted to branch out and meet some new people who are super-nice. We’ve worked on the senior prom and senior breakfast and communicate with the student advisor and make sure everyone’s on the same page. We were also on the committee that planned graduation, which was really hard because it was tough to find a date. As to Wood River, “I really love it there. The teachers are great and incredibly nice and the school offers so much in the way of AP classes and duel credit courses. I took AP statistics last year and this year I’m taking duel credit in precalculus and English 101 and 175. My favorite subject is English and this is the first year that I’ve written a lot. I can really express my emotions and myself.” One thing this young man has no trouble with is expressing himself both in life and on the soccer field. tws

he fall “Turkey Shoot” chess tournament was a lesson in tie-breaks and heartbreaks. Twenty students competed on Saturday, November 17, in hour-long games in a five-round tournament. The elementary sections played eight rounds due to the fast pace of their games. In the high school section, third-grader, Jacob Nathan from Idaho Falls played up, and looked like he was going to sweep the tournament as the last round approached and he had four points. Players receive one point for a win, half a point for a draw, and no points for a loss. Wood River High School Chess Club President Riley Clark faced off with Jacob in the last round and succeeded in breaking Jacob’s winning streak and took home the first-place trophy—her first! It is remarkable that Jacob did so well with the high schoolers, but chess is based on experience and Jacob actually has over 100 tournament games at the national and state level under his belt. Most of the participants in this tournament have played only a handful of games from tournaments. Tie-breaks were necessary in each of the sections and are determined using mathematical algorithms that calculate a

number based on the difficulty of the opponents faced by each player. In the kindergartenthrough-third-grade section, Darwin Porth won first place with 6.0 points and Quentin Van Law won second place with 6.0 points. Tie-breaker points determined the outcome. Luke Baker (4.5 pts.) won third place. In the fourth- and fifth-grade section, Alex Baker and Walter Kriesien tied for first with 6.5 points, but Baker won first on tie-breaker points. Zane Barckholtz won third place with 6.0 points. Medals were awarded to all other players in the elementary section. The high school section had a three-way tie for first between Riley Clark, Jacob Nathan and Terry Zheng, who is originally from China and who now attends the Community School. Tiebreaker points placed Riley in first, Jacob in second, and Terry in third. All players were eligible for a turkey drawing that was donated by the WRHS Chess Club for the tournament. And, Tyler Avila, 11th grade, placed sixth in the tournament but his prize was the turkey. The next tournament is the Christmas Blitzkrieg on Thursday, December 13, with a Family Tournament during winter break. Contact Adam Porth for details, aporth@blaineschools. org.

Little Black Dress Club Gives Organizations Cause for Thanks STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

W

ith Thanksgiving one day away, a handful of Wood River Valley organizations are feeling pretty thankful for 80-some women in their little black dresses. The Little Black Dress Club recently handed out $9,650 to be divvied up among six organizations—The Crisis Hotline, Habitat for Humanity, Girls on the Run, Hailey Ice, the Wood River Community Orchestra and Nurture. Hailey Ice will use the money to fund a part-time employee to fit youngsters into loaner skates. Girls on the Run will use its grant funds for scholarships for the girls in the program. The orchestra will use theirs to make sure instruments are available for members. Habitat will use its to restore short-sale homes to turn into affordable housing. And Nurture will use

its to support a pilot program at Hemingway Elementary School that teaches healthy nutrition to grade schoolers. Since its inception three years ago, the club has handed out nearly $50,000 to a varied list that includes Company of Fools, The Sage School, NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill)-Wood River Chapter, Sun Valley Adaptive Sports and The Hunger Coalition. “A lot of the non-profits out there are on shoestring budgets,” said Rain McDonald, president of the club. “We’ve lost a couple of organizations, like La Alianza. This organization helps to meet some needs and makes our members more aware of the needs that are out there.” Each member gives $300 a year in monthly installments of $25 to be distributed as club members decide. The organization holds two cocktail parties a year to dispense grants, along

with a variety of social events throughout the year. Renee Faltings said she joined the group because she thought it would be a quick way to get to know other women after she moved here from Bend, Ore., two years ago. She now serves as grants chair. “I work on chaos with a small c instead of a big C,” she said, describing the position which involves entertaining applications, lining up site visits for club members and tabulating the final vote on which projects to fund.

Ask the Guys

Dear Classified Guys, I'm the type of guy who never has any money in his wallet. My wife gives me $20 a week and tells me to make it last. Last week when a guy came to look at a lawnmower I advertised for sale, it was a different story. He was a nice guy, but looked a little bit disheveled so I gave him a break on the price. I let my trusty old lawnmower go for $50 instead of $75. Then, when he pulled a money clip from his pocket, wasn't I surprised? He must have had $3000 in cash! In fact, he had to sift through all his $100 bills to find a fifty to pay me. I didn't have the nerve to ask him so I thought I'd ask you guys. Who carries that kind of money around? And how can I be a better judge in the future so I hold firm on my price?

• • • Carry: As the saying goes, "Cash is King" and it sounds like your wife is the queen. Like you, though, I rarely have more than $10 in my wallet. Cash: I know. That's why I always end up paying for lunch! Carry: That just goes to show that NOT having cash has its benefits as well.

Fast Facts Making Money

Duane “Cashâ€? Holze & Todd “Carryâ€? Holze 11/18/12 ŠThe Classified GuysÂŽ

Every day, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces over 35 million individual notes with a face value of about $635 million dollars. While that may seem like a lot of cash, 95% of these bills are used to replace those already in circulation. Surprisingly, the money in your wallet wears out rather quickly. Some notes average only 18 months in circulation. As they wear out, they are removed from circulation and replaced by new ones. Although maybe if we stored the money under our mattresses, it would last forever.

Charged

Cash: While most people today

are more likely to have a wallet full of credit or debit cards, there are still some who prefer to deal in cash. Carry: To be honest, there are numerous reasons your buyer could have a pocket full of cash. Maybe he just came from cashing his paycheck. Or maybe he was on his way to buy something else and thought dealing in cash could achieve a better deal. Cash: Regardless of the reason, if you want to be a better judge of people in the future, avoid drawing conclusions based on their appearances or how much cash

they have in their pockets. Appearances can be very deceiving. Carry: Some of the wealthiest people we know live and dress very conservatively, while others who live lavishly are only a paycheck away from being broke. Cash: In the future, determine the bottom line price for your items before you advertise it. Then if you start negotiating with a buyer, you can hold to your price regardless of the circumstances. Carry: And if you're wondering how to get more cash in your pocket, you'll have to talk to your wife about raising your allowance.

While cash may be the preferred payment for shopping the classifieds, for everything else, as they say, there is a credit card. However, credit cards haven't been around that long. American Express issued the first widely accepted card in 1958. In 1959, BankAmericard produced the first general-purpose credit card that allowed payments over time. They changed their name to Visa in 1977. Today there are over 1.3 billion credit cards in circulation that take in more than $11 billion in late fees every year. •

Reader Humor Passbook

For years I taught my son how to save his spare change for a rainy day. On his 10th birthday when he received some gift money, I decided to teach him how to open a bank account just like Mommy's. He was so excited that he asked to fill out the form himself at the bank. He grabbed a pen and diligently wrote his name and address and continued down the form answering as many questions as he could. When he was finished, I handed the form to the teller. She read it over and handed it back to me chuckling, "You should read the last line." There the form asked: "Your previous bank's name?" My son wrote, "Piggy".
