espite a spate of dry weather, Sun Valley Resort will open Bald Mountain with top-to-bottom skiing on Thanksgiving Day. Even Lower College will be opened—a treat for skiers who prefer skiing the easier run to mid-River Run. About 200 young racers from Oregon and other Western states have been participating in a five-day race camp that started Saturday and ends today. They called early-season conditions “fabulous.” “We were glad to be able to provide them with top-to-bottom skiing—3,250 feet of vertical,” said Sun Valley’s General Manager Tim Silva. Silva noted that the racers only had access to the Lower River Run side of the mountain during previous camps. “Top to bottom—that’s unparalleled. No one has that much vertical. There’s no training like that anywhere in the country,” said Rob Clayton, the executive director of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation. Four high-speed quads will service 11 runs and a Progressive Park on Baldy and Dollar Mountains on Thursday, according to Jack Sibbach, Sun Valley’s marketing director. Open runs on Baldy will include Upper College, Lower College, Sunset Strip, 42nd St., Roundhouse Lane, Roundhouse Slope, Lower Canyon, Mid River Run and Lower River Run. They will be serviced by River Run No. 1, Lookout Express No. 5 and Christmas Quad No. 3. The Kinderspielplatz will also be open. The Quarter Dollar lift on Dollar will service Poverty Flats, Quarter Dollar Bowl and a Progressive Park. There also will be two magic carpets running. Dollar will open daily through Dec. 1 and then close until Dec. 14 when it will open for the season. The River Run Lodge and Lookout Restaurant will have food service, as will Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge. Kindercare will be available 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For après-ski, Tracorum will entertain Thursday and Friday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at River Run. Jeff Crosby & The Refugees will play from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Free wagon rides will be offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, leaving from the Dollar Mountain bus circle outside Sun Valley Lodge. Guests may also indulge in bowling, shooting at the Sun Valley Gun Club, ice skating, virtual golf and the hotel spa when not bellying up to the Thanksgiving buffet in Sun Valley’s Limelight Room or the Thanksgiving Harvest Dinner at Trail Creek Cabin. For dinner reservations, call 208tws 622-2800.
rustic saloon-door look of the Wild West where it was birthed. It’s a ski befitting its designer, a cowboy at heart who grew up in Montana and has bucked the trend to offer skiers a handmade, custom-designed ski that fits their height, weight, skiing ability and ski preferences to a T. “Ski technology has evolved tremendously in recent years,” said Baukol. “Big Wood Ski is taking the process several steps further for a true ‘custom’ ski by layering in more flex options to create the best possible ride. I call them five-dimension skis.” The process also makes the ski more versatile, he says. “Drawing on my kayaking experience, for instance, I’ve designed them so that they move like a boat in deep powder—you don’t have to worry about skiing really fast so you can load and keep the tips up. You don’t have to get on heels to get your tips from diving.” Baukol launched his new line of alpine skis, customized children’s powder skis and classic Nordic skis with a party Sunday afternoon at his

shop behind Sun Valley Cleaners in Ketchum’s industrial district. The shop also houses 5B Garage, a members-only ski and bike tuning club that has been featured in “Powder” magazine and on SkiRacerMag.com. Big Wood Skis don’t sport the look of a shaped ski or a traditional straight ski. Built to order by Baukol, who brands himself “The Ski Shaper,” they sport a tapered tip and tail with a side-cut underfoot. The idea to put the right flex—longitudinally and torsionally—under each client’s foot, along with the perfect shape to suit that skier’s style.
“As soon as I made a ski with a bamboo core and hardwood veneer, I was hooked by the beauty. And the bamboo adds a dampening element to the ski at high speeds. We can also adapt the fiberglass core to suit the skier.”
Genuine, Handmade, Custom Ski
Born to design
Building custom-designed skis would seem to be something Baukol has been destined for since Jim Hasterlick hired him to work at the Ski Hut in Great Falls, Mont., 28 years ago. “I learned how to pick out the right ski for each skier. I learned how to fit a boot, adjust a binding just for that skier and then ask them how it’d gone when they came back. Jim taught me how to pick out and put together the perfect package for each skier. Now, not only can I build the perfect ski but I can build the perfect ski for you!” he said. Baukol, who maintained the skis for Team USA in the 50-kilometer challenge in Queenstown, N.Z., thought he was on the fast track to building custom skis when he began working with Brandon Jones, who started 5B Ski Factory. They were the first boutique manufacturers to make a race ski. But they ran up against the hard reality that making a race ski is difficult and expensive. And there isn’t much market for them since top racers get their skis for free. The company made another splash with the orange 75th Sun Valley anniversary skis that Baukol designed. But those became outdated—save for those who treasure anniversary keepsakes—when the 75th anniversary year rolled over into another year. Baukol retooled his passion and came up with an eco-friendly ski made with bamboo cores and African hardwoods such as African bubinga or zebrawood, along with cherry, maple and

It’s Always More Fun in

ure, you’ll save beaucoup bucks on utilities with spiffy new energy-efficient kitchen appliances. Financially, though, the best plan is to prolong the lifespan and increase the efficiency of the appliances you already own. Appliance performance often depends on that product’s use and abuse, so some simple maintenance is where you can actually save the big bucks. Since the refrigerator is typically the single biggest energy-consuming kitchen appliance, when it’s time to sound the death knell, be sure to buy a new Energy Star model. The new bottom-freezer models are convenient but more expensive than top-freezer models. According to the government’s Energy Star program, models with the
freezer above the refrigerator use 10 to 25 percent less energy than bottom-freezer or side-byside appliances. Locating a refrigerator or freezer in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area is half the energy battle, and the other half is vacuuming the condenser coil four times a year. Use a dollar bill to check the fit of the door gasket, and replace it if the bill is easy to remove. If your freezer does not self-defrost, don’t postpone beyond 1/4-inch of frost. And, please ask yourself, can you really use that energy-sucking old fridge in the garage enough to justify the power bills?

BLM Reminds Public of Season Closures to Protect Wintering Herds of Big Game The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Shoshone Field Office has implemented seasonal motorized use closures in the Wood River Valley beginning December 1, 2013 and ending April 30, 2014 to protect wintering herds of big game. According to Shoshone Field Office Outdoor Recreation Planner John Kurtz, “These closures serve an important role in protecting the big game that finds refuge on these slopes.” The seasonal closures are for BLM administered land only. It is important to note that non-motorized activities can also have an impact on the wildlife. When recreating this winter, BLM encourages the public to carefully gauge their actions to ensure there are no negative impacts to the deer and elk that could be in the area. “Motorized and non-motorized recreationists disturb wildlife and cause them to waste vital energy that is needed for survival,” says Kurtz. “When deer or elk are encountered during an outing, it is important to view them from a distance so that noise or close proximity will not cause additional stress
for these animals. Non-motorized users need to honor motorized closures as wildlife have no options and should have our respect.” According to Kurtz, south facing slopes provide critical winter habitat, and should also be avoided when recreating during the winter months. The following areas in the Wood River Valley are closed annually to motorized use, including snowmobiles, from December 1 through April 30: · Martin/ Big Dry Canyon · Croy Creek to south of Townsend Gulch, with snowmobile and snowshoe use permitted on main roads · Big and Little Beaver Drainages · South slopes above East Fork · Elk Mountain area · Portions of Picabo Hills BLM patrols these areas to monitor and enforce closures. Free maps detailing the closures in the Wood River Valley are available through the Shoshone Field Office at 400 West F Street in Shoshone, or by visitinghttp://www. blm.gov/id/st/en/advisories-closures. html For additional information, please contact Outdoor Recreation Planner John Kurtz at (208) 732-7296.

Festival of Trees Benefits Seniors, Botanical Garden STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

mogene Robinson sticks out her tongue in deep concentration as she dots her cookie-cutter Christmas tree with tiny red Christmas balls of paint. She and 10 others—all members of The Connection Club— are decorating ornaments for a tiny tree to be auctioned off in the 15th annual Festival of Trees. “I wish I were a lifelong artist. They kicked me out of my first art class,” she quipped, as a fellow decorator compliments her on her artistry. Robinson, who takes part in a “club” for seniors dealing with some measure of memory loss due to such issues as stroke or Alzheimer’s, is among those who will benefit from the community response to the Festival of Trees. The festival will kick off with a free open house and tree viewing from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, a few miles south of Ketchum at Highway 75 and Gimlet Road. Refreshments will be served and Santa is expected to make an appearance. A Fashion Show by Paula’s-The Dress Shop will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, at The Senior Connection, 721 S. 3rd Ave., in Hailey. The luncheon will feature champagne and wine and cocktail dresses and daywear modeled by such nonprofit heads as Jeanne Liston of The Hunger Coalition and Cheryl Bennett of Swiftsure Ranch. Tickets are $50 each or $350 for a table of eight. The Gala Event at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden will conclude the event on Saturday, Dec. 7. The evening will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with signature cock-

The tree and wreath auction emceed by auctioneer Larry Flynn will start at 7:30 p.m. The event will dovetail with the Festival of Lights, which will feature 60,000 lights outlining Christmas trees and other pictures around the garden. “We’ll have everything—edible trees decorated with seeds, nuts and berries that can be put outside for the birds, wooden Christmas trees designed by Sue Bridgman Florist that can placed against the wall, a sagebrush tree and traditional Christmas trees, including a Trailing of the Sheep tree,” said Stephanie McCord, executive director of the Sawtooth Botanical Garden. “We’ll also have a lot of wreaths made by businesses like Tara Bella and Utopia.”

Raffle tickets are available for $10 each or six for $50. They’re good for a season ski pass, private wild game dinner for eight, two $500 Atkinsons’ gift cards and a $2,000 jeweled pendant necklace donated by Barry Peterson Jewelers. This is the first year the Sawtooth Botanical Garden has collaborated with The Senior Connection on the Festival of Trees. Monies raised from the event will help the garden carry out its new mission to ensure its
educational events are free to the public. The funds raised will help The Senior Connection provide Meals on Wheels, home care and transportation for seniors. “Having the garden involved gives the event a whole new energizing excitement,” said Kim Coonis, who heads up The Senior Connection.

Holiday Market To Showcase Iconic Ketchum Buildings In Gingerbread STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
he iconic Irving’s Red Hots is just now gearing up for another season at the base of Warm Springs on Bald Mountain. But the frankfurter shack will be a prominent part of the Holiday Market this weekend at the Kentwood Lodge on Main Street in Ketchum. Mary Jones, Ketchum’s renowned gingerbread maker, has been crafting several of Ketchum’s iconic buildings in preparation for the Holiday Market. “After I built the gingerbread village for Sun Valley last year, people started asking me to build one of Ketchum. I don’t have time to do the entire town, but I am building a number of Ketchum buildings, including the Veltex, the Ore Wagon Museum, The Elephant’s Perch and the Sun Valley Visitor Center,” she said. Jones, the proprietor of The Chocolate Moose baking company, will be one of six vendors featuring their wares at the market Friday through Sunday. Merete Abbot will showcase her pearls and knitted shawls; Sue Bridgman Florist, holiday decorations and centerpieces; Vince Carpenter, his Breadwerks ornaments and holiday breads; Lisa Horton, new designs in bronze, leather and stone jewelry; and Keefer Reynolds, hand-felted gifts and apparel.
Mary Jones was in the process of finishing this traditional gothic church made of gingerbread and an assortment of candies in her bakery behind the Veltex.
Jones will have treats and other gift items for sale, in addition to the gingerbread works. “It turns out that Saturday is local shopping day—the antithesis to Black Friday. People can purchase things on the spot or place orders,” she added. The market will be open to the public in the Powwow Room from noon to 7 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. tws

Raising the Rink
H
ailey Ice is ready to raise the rink. The nonprofit organization plans to break ground in Spring 2014 for an outdoor refrigerated ice rink behind the skate park at the Hailey Rodeo Grounds. The rink, with a covered ice plant, locker rooms, concession stand, lighting and shade cloth, is one more step toward the ultimate goal: a fully-enclosed, 30,000-square-foot indoor ice rink facility with bathrooms and bleachers that can be utilized year-round. “We’re rising from the ashes, ready to get moving again,” said Hailey Ice Executive Director Sarah Benson. “The rink is something that will be of benefit to everyone—from hotels to grocery stores to the kids themselves.” In fact, the refrigerated ice rink will enable Hailey Ice to host tournaments for youth and adult hockey players. Each tournament would bring five to six out-of-town teams who would spend as much as $18,000 all told for hotel rooms, restaurants, grocery and retail, said Benson. Currently, local hockey players travel to venues like Boise, McCall, Idaho Falls, Salmon, Salt Lake City, Missoula and Jackson for tournaments. But Hailey’s central location and proximity to Sun Valley Resort make it a place hockey players would like to come, Benson said. “Hockey tournaments drive the Salmon economy in winter,” said Benson, who plays hockey, as does her husband Chris and children Zach and Morgan. “They have a tournament every week and it keeps hotels and restaurants full.” The refrigerated ice also will provide a reliable season for users from mid-November through March. With the warm winters of late, the program has struggled to get open by Christmas and has to toss in the towel by mid-February. It usually encounters a couple weeks in the middle of the season when it has to cancel clinics due to warm weather. Sun Valley’s ice rink can’t meet the current demand, said Benson. Children enrolled in Sun Valley Youth Hockey can only practice twice a week, a s opposed to the three or four times each week that other sports at the high school level practice. There are many teams that can’t get to the ice at all or, if they can, only during very late hours, she added. The Sun Valley rink sometimes closes to accommodate conventions. And some children in the south valley don’t participate in any winter sports because they can’t get to Sun Valley or because ice fees are too expensive for them. “If kids are on the ice, they’re not getting into hot water!” said Benson, repeating the organization’s motto. The ice program in Hailey began in the late 1990s with a few parents who built an ice rink each winter by flooding Roberta McKercher Park with hoses. The program got a major boost in 2010 when it was included in a $3.5-million general obligation bond Hailey voters approved to build a multi-purpose event facility that included the new Hailey rodeo arena. Hailey Ice had hoped to start building its indoor facility in 2011, but those plans were stalled when a major donor backed out.

Rendition of the concept of phase 1 for the rink.
Now, the organization, headed by Dr. Ron Fairfax, is ready to move forward for the next phase with $1.1 million in donations from The Barbara J. Harley Fund and The Deer Creek Fund of the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation, the Nancy Eccles and Homer M. Hayward Foundation and a “very generous” local couple. Hailey Inc. will have to raise an additional $300,000 of the projected $1.4 million it will take to complete the project. That includes a building that will house the refrigeration/ice plant, which cannot be exposed to winter elements. It would take an addition $2 million to build the enclosed facility. Benson said the program was thrilled to be the recipient of $2,000 from Bellevue kindergarteners, who chose to gift Hailey Ice with the $25 each kindergartener received from the Wood River Foundation’s Wow-Project. The Foundation gives kindergarteners through 12th graders $25 to teach them the value of philanthropy in the belief that generosity is what differentiates great communities. Hailey Ice already spent $425,000 on plans, permits and pouring footings for the rink. Ruscitto/Latham/Blanton is the architect; Dan Young Construction, the general contractor. After comparing facilities in places like Aspen, Jackson Hole and Park City, Hailey Ice organizers determined the most similar rink to Hailey’s would be the Manchester Ice and Event Centre in McCall. That facility cost $6.2 million, compared with Hailey’s pending $3.4 million facility. It serves a population of 2,500 people and 925 school kids, versus the local population of 12,055 in Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley and 3,402 students in the Blaine County School District. Hailey’s facility will not only be used for figure skating, hockey, broomball, curling, family and teen skates and birthday parties, during summer it could host sports camps, farmers’ mar-

kets, weddings, concerts, family reunions and other events, Benson said.
Who uses Hailey Ice? The free outdoor ice rink in Hailey currently serves more than 7,000 children and adults during a 10-week season. The facility includes a warming trailer, a skate trailer with more than 200 pairs of skates, and hockey equipment Hailey Ice loans out, free of charge. The program also has a Zamboni and Zamboni shed. Hailey Ice provides a low-cost, five-week skating program for children ages 5 through 12 and boys and girls hockey programs. Last year it had 85 kids in its skating programs, 75 of whom were not involved in figure skating or youth hockey programs at Sun Valley. “So we’re definitely tapping into a new group,” said Hailey Ice Executive Director Sarah Benson. The Hailey rink became the practice facility for the 200-plus youth involved in Sun Valley Youth Hockey when Sun Valley’s indoor ice rink was closed for a convention last winter. Currently, more than30 children participate in Sun Valley Figure Skating programs. And more than 200 children participate in the Sun Valley Youth Hockey program

Ascent to the Stars By Jonathan Kane
H
ow would it feel to reach the summit of the tallest mountain in Africa and one of the seven highest summits in the world? Just ask Wood River High School freshman Gabriella Whittaker, carrying a 3.8 grade point average, who accomplished this amazing feat this past October at the tender age of 14. The mountain is Kilimanjaro on the East African border of Kenya and Tanzania and the ascent to the summit took five days and covered 19,340 feet. As Gabriella succinctly put it, “It was the greatest experience of my life!” Born in Tacoma, Wash., Gabriella moved here in fifth grade but still spends her summers at the base of Mt. Rainier National Park. “It was hard moving between the two school systems and I feel that the school is much better here. I really love the Valley because of that and because of the skiing and that we’re in the middle of nowhere.” As to mountain climbing, you could probably say it’s in her blood. Both her father and grandfather are expert climbers and guides and her great-uncle Jim Whittaker was the first American to climb Mt. Everest. “I always hiked on Rainier when I was a kid,” she said. “As I grew up I wanted to go bigger and my dad and I talked about Kilimanjaro. Basically, I prepared by hiking around here, climbing Baldy and at 12 went halfway up Rainier but nothing too big. The reason I was dying to go to Africa is because it’s so cool and also because we got to go on a safari. Kilimanjaro is hard but it’s not too technical. There is no ice so you don’t rope up or use crampons. There was one steep rock wall but that was all.” Gabriella admits, though, to being pretty worried about the climb before they started. There were 10 people in the party and her dad was the guide, plus there was a photographer. It was her dad’s 14th time climbing the mountain. It was also a kind of a father-daughter excursion and

there were three father-daughter combinations on the climb. In all, it was five days going up and two going down. “It was hard going down, psychologically, because you had already reached the summit, so you weren’t shooting for anything. The first day was 14 hours long and we did about 10,000 feet through the jungle. There were lots of monkeys and it was really cool. It was also our easiest day and it made me more comfortable that I could keep up. The second day we stayed on the Shira Plateau, which was pretty incredible. It was the first time I could see the summit and it was pretty intimidating. The third day the air started to get real thin and I remember getting a headache
and my legs were really sore. The fourth day was the most fun because we got to scale a rock wall which I love doing. The last day was 14 hours. We got up in the middle of the night to go 5,000 feet to the summit and then descend 10,000 feet. We hit the top and saw an amazing sunrise, built a human pyramid and stayed for an hour and a half. In all, I was really happy and proud to have done it.” With a laugh, Gabriella says the best part was taking a shower after seven days of climbing. “It was the best experience of my life and I want to do so much more.” tws

igeria often has been in the news as of late and that made me think about Adichie, the very talented writer who hails from that country. I heard her on PBS not too long ago and I was struck by how much she loved her country, even though she now lives part time here in the U.S. and teaches writing workshops. She was raised in Nigeria, the fifth of six children, in the home that once belonged to Chinua Achebe, author of “Things Fall Apart,” published in 1958. That was a
Th e W e e k l y S u n •
book that made a big impact upon the understanding of Africa. His writing spirit must have remained in the house because it obviously visited Chimamanda and turned her into an author as well. She is now busy writing a book that will “focus on the Nigerian immigrant experience in the United States.” I can’t wait to read it. However, for now, I read her first published book, Purple Hibiscus. I always have enjoyed reading books written by authors who reside in other countries and this was no exception. Their storytelling usually has a bit of a different slant than those of our own authors. For one thing, this book gave me a bird’s-eye view of how the chaos from a political
November 27, 2013
coup in a country can result in the severe control of its population and the consequences that can have on families. However, Adichie’s story is not one just from Nigeria; this is a story that is universal. The main theme is abuse. It revolves around a family who, to outward appearances, may seem to be a model of love and generosity but yet is totally dysfunctional. This particular story is of what can happen when loving relatives intercept. The consequences will keep you in suspense much of the time. It is beautifully written and I do recommend it for a good, heartfelt, and edge-of-your-seat read. Give us your feedback at margot6@mindspring.com tws

Gallery Walk Includes Art from South Australia BY KAREN BOSSICK
S
ee the latest in fine art during Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at most Ketchum art galleries. Galleries will stay open late that night, offering wine and other beverages for art lovers. Wendy Jaquet will lead a free tour, stopping at galleries to chat with artists and owners. It’ll start at the Recreation Center in Sun Valley at 5 p.m. Tour-goers can also join the tour at 5:15 p.m. at Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Road. Here are some of the highlights of this month’s Gallery Walk: Harvey Art Projects, 391 1st Ave. N., will spotlight Tjukurpa Nganampa Kunpu Kanyintjaku: Keeping Our Stories Strong, a first-time U.S. exhibition of works from three significant artistic centers of the eastern Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in South Australia. The three centers— Mimili Maku, Iwantja and Ernabella Arts—have become renowned for their distinctive interpretations of traditional imagery. Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Road, will feature the dreamlike paintings of Craig Mooney, who romanticizes his subjects in an exhibit titled “Above & Beyond.” Also on exhibit—Simon Gudgeon’s beautiful, figurative, abstract sculptures inspired by birds and other beings in the natural world. Friesen Gallery, 320 N. 1st Ave., will showcase the very professional-like photographs of Kailey Wilt depicting images from New Delhi and other parts of India. The gallery will also feature a group exhibition that includes works by Rob Douglas, who uses delicate pigment washes and markings on his paintings. Kneeland Gallery, 271 N. 1st St., will feature Christine Gedye’s “Northwest Horizons.” Frederic Boloix Fine Arts, 351 Leadville Ave. N. in the Galleria Building, will feature works by Modern Masters such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Jennifer Bellinger, 511 E. 4th St., features Bellinger’s oils of luscious lemons and other

still lifes, as well as bronze and metal sculptures of such artists as Dave LaMure, Jr. and Russ Lamb, art jewelry by Michele Black and riverrock stone bowls by Gabriel Embler. Broschofsky Galleries, 360 East Ave. N., features contemporary and century-old Western art. Sun Valley Center for the Arts, 191 5th St. E., will show watercolors, ceramics and photos from its “Stories of A Changing China,” which ends on Nov. 29. Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave., will continue its exhibition, “Honoring Our Landscape II,” with updated artwork. The exhibition features works by Victoria Adams, Divit Cardoza, Theodore Waddell, James Cook, Sheila Gardner, Jack Spencer, Michael Gregory, Tony Foster, Greg Stocks, Laura McPhee, Allison Stewart, Julie Speidel, Rod Kagan and David Secrest. Also on tap: Color II, featuring works by Squeak Carnwath, Jane Hammond, Jun Kaneko, Gary Komarin, Cole Morgan, Bean Finneran, Deborah Oropallo and Marcia Myers; Animalia II, featuring works by Hung Liu, Robert McCauley, Kenna Moser, Gwynn Murrill, Ed Musante, Don Nice, Jane Rosen, Brad Rude, Mary Snowden, Jack Spencer and Boaz Vaddia; and Collage II, which features works by Jenny Abell, Jane Hammond, Kenna Moser, Melinda Tidwell and Lisa Kokin.
Wilt Endows Gallery With a Touch of India BY KAREN BOSSICK
K
ailey Wilt had to get used to getting stared at when she spent three weeks in India last summer. “They have no boundaries when it comes to personal space,” she said. “After awhile, I started pretending I was a princess. Then when I got home it was difficult because no one really stared at me—I just blended in with the scene.” The photographs Wilt took while in India will not blend in with the scene come Friday night. And, yes, you’re welcome to stare at them—no matter what taboos Americans put on staring. Wilt will present “Open Hands,” an exhibition of her photography from India, during Friday’s Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Friesen Gallery, Sun Valley Road and First Avenue. The exhibit—created for Wilt’s senior project—will feature six canvas pieces and 38 small prints for sale. It will be on view through Dec. 6, said Wilt. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Salaam Baalak Trust, an organization that houses and educates children who live in the slums of India. “It was fun to do the Gallery Walk show with Andria Friesen because I’m used to producing art but never showing it. And some of the works by other artists have an Indian flair to them, as well,” Wilt said. Wilt, a senior at Wood River High School, spent three weeks in India during July with a National Geographic student team of 14, including herself. The students took a bus through India, visiting nomadic people in northern India and riding camels in the Great Indian Desert area of Rajasthan. They
Kailey Wilt took this picture of women who invited them into their garden after she and her fellow photography students had trekked to the women’s tiny village in the Himalayas. courtesy photo
stayed at a 15th-century palace on a hillside in Neemrana that Wilt characterized as “beautiful and surreal.” They saw the Taj Mahal and they visited Ladakh, which borders Tibet. Throughout it all, they kept clicking away, under the guidance of a mentor—an editor-in-chief of National Geographic India and a photography leader. “They taught me to pan—that is putting the camera on a slow shutter speed and following a moving subject so that it’s clear while the background is blurry. I chose to pan a rickshaw to show the hustle bustle of India,” she said. Wilt said her expectations about India—that it would be hot, humid and bustling—were well founded. But she was surprised how welcoming Indians were, even in a Muslim temple. “The women were real friendly to the group—they gave us bananas and roses. I was never afraid or freaked out, even as big
as the cities were,” she said. Wilt and her cohorts volunteered teaching English to children cared for by the Salaam Baalak Trust one day. Some of the children have run away from abuse; most have run away in hopes of becoming the next Bollywood star, Wilt said. “We toured the slums, which were very, very different from here. It rained so hard we got to experience the filth of it because we were wading through black water in narrow, winding streets where you could feel the crowdedness and the poverty,” she said. “Most of the children didn’t have shoes—if I didn’t have shoes I’d be freaked out.” Wilt plans to continue her photography, but as a hobby. Her goal is to become a neurosurgeon. If all goes according to plan, she’ll attend Boston University next year where she hopes to study biomedical engineering and neurology. tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR NOV. 27 FROM PICABO ANGLER
P
erpetual Fall remains intact so far this week. Anglers should be out enjoying every moment of this spectacular angling weather! Fall hatches have dwindled down to Midges and a few Baetis moments on area waters. The South Fork of the Boise is open to angling again, and fly anglers continue to report big fish, more so than big numbers of fish. The Big Wood is seeing more angler numbers as the water clarity continues “evolve” and those anglers have been having some decent success. If you fish either river continue to handle the fish with care and use stout rigs to land the fish quickly. They deserve a soft touch after a rough end to their summer! Silver Creek continues to fish well, and if you ever choose not to go because of too many anglers…now is your time! You can have the Creek to yourself most days. Keep in mind, the Nature Conservancy and all the water upstream or “south” of Highway 20 closes at the end of November, so get down here and fish now! If you can’t make it, no worries, the rest of the Creek and the prime winter season continues until the end of February. Now is the perfect time to start tying your favorite streamer patterns and filling your box with unweighted flies for the winter Silver Creek season. Waterfowl continue to trickle into Silver Creek, and the river is becoming a better and better hunt as the local ponds and canals freeze up. This can be great decoy hunting on the right morning. Take your calls, your favorite decoys, and your 20 gauge and wait till they’re in your lap…if you really want to get good at calling, this is the best way. Geese and Swans also continue to come south, but the biggest push of waterfowl has yet to arrive. Upland hunters have been treated to the most spectacular days, as they climb ridge lines looking for Huns and Chukar! The wind has been down and the temps are warm enough for comfort, but cool enough for dogs to do their thing. If you’ve never been upland hunting come on down to the store and we’ll get you pointed in the right direction. We have vests, shells, blaze orange and a good hot lunch for you when your day is done! If you really want a special day, then head on down to Picabo for a cast and blast session, fishing and hunting both!

Clayton: “The Best Center in the Country”
(208) 928-6205 streaming live on www.kdpifm.org
el Clayton popped into her dad’s new office and picked up a marker. “Look,” she told her friend Tatum Ware as she began drawing on the shiny spotless white wall. “That to me is one of the coolest things about this,” said construction manager Morley Golden of the wall, which can be written on and subsequently erased. “We call it the ‘idea wall.’ ” Undoubtedly, the “idea wall” will be used to map out some youngster’s road to the Olympics in the coming months. But on Friday it was just one of many attractions as a few hundred children and adults turned out to inspect the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s newly remodeled digs in the Greyhawk building at the bottom of Warm Springs. The remodel transformed a dingy—even smelly—building into a shiny facility with glassetched doors boasting names of Olympians who trained with the program, lockers boasting elbow room and safe boxes, a speckled rubber locker room floor to prevent slips and a spanking brand new blue stairway designed to knock snow off boots. It also boasts 1,600 square feet of new administration offices and coaches’ quarters on the third floor. Three SVSEF supporters— Jack Bunce, Kipp Nelson and Steve Shafran—purchased the 1,600-square-foot condominium on the third floor and leased it to the SVSEF for $1 a year. They also offered $175,000 to jump start the $1.5 million capital campaign to pay for the renovations. Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation Director Rob Clayton called the remodel “a real milestone in the history of the Foundation.” “Where we are today is miles of where we were six months ago. We’ve created a springboard for all the businesses in this building and for the future of the kids,” he said, gesturing to a building that even houses the Sun Valley Helicopter Ski Guides. The SVSEF established itself in a 2,300-square-foot space in the building in 1987. It acquired more room for offices and locker rooms by purchasing two condominiums in the early 1990s, bringing the facility to 4,500 square feet. The number of kids on its roster has grown with the facility— from 185 kids in the 1970s and 1980s to 500 today. The remodeled facility showcases the success the program has had, with plenty of room to display trophies, even the gold and silver medals won by Sun Valley’s Gretchen Fraser at the 1948 Winter Olympics. They were the first ski medals won by an American. “She didn’t technically train with the Ski Education Foundation because it wasn’t around

The Dynamics of Facial Aging and Voluma™ BY TOM CRAIS, M.D., FACS
W
hen I lived in Berlin, Germany, in the early 1970s, I had the opportunity to visit the Egyptian Museum where the bust of Nefertiti is on display. My visits to see her and other Egyptian art and artifacts were frequent. This was a decade prior to my becoming a plastic surgeon and learning much more of Nefertiti and her near-perfect facial balance and contour. I can remember even then being impressed with the soothing proportions of her facial structure. During the last three decades I have learned of what is called ‘The Golden Ratio Phi’ and its relationship to beauty. We have also begun to realize that facial aging occurs by volume loss and consequent loss of these Golden Ratios of the face. Our facial bones, the underlying support structures of our face, including the teeth, begin to demineralize and slowly the bone is microscopically resorbed along with the enamel of the teeth. Simultaneously, the overlying facial
muscles slowly atrophy or lose their strength and their size because of hormonal changes and perhaps by diminished muscle animation. Lastly, the elasticity of our skin diminishes. All of these changes combined result in loss of volume, which then leads to loss of the so-called, ‘divine proportions,’ which is manifested by our face sagging and shriveling. In essence, we go from an ovoid-shaped face, widest at our cheek prominence, to a square face, whereby the cheek and the jaw widths are nearly the same and, consequently, we look old. About five or six years ago, while attending a plastic surgery conference in Paris, I learned of a filler that seemed to expand the volume of the face quite easily. By refilling the face we basically camouflage the deflation simply by injecting this filler or, as we have been doing since the mid-1980s, with the injection of fat into these areas that have atrophied and resorbed. For the last five years Juviderm and/ or fat has sufficed to restore the proportional ratio to near normalcy without signs of surgical
Turkey Fryer Safety
T
he NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) discourages the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that cook the turkey in hot oil. The use of turkey fryers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries and the destruction of property. Here are some of the dangers and safety tips for using turkey fryers: • Propane-fired turkey fryers must be used outdoors. When used outdoors in rain or snow, the cooking oil may splatter or turn to steam, leading to burns. Fryers should always be used outdoors on a solid level surface a safe distance from buildings and flammable materials. • Hot oil may splash or spill during cooking. Never use a fryer on a wooden deck, under a patio cover, or in a garage or enclosed space. • When deep-frying, oil is heated to temperatures of 350º— For more. Cooking oil is combustible; do not overfill the fryer. If it’s heated beyond its cooking temperature, its vapors
can ignite. • Turkeys must be completely thawed before placing in the fryer. A partially thawed turkey will cause oil to splatter and could cause burns. Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts; wear long sleeves and safety goggles to protect from splatter. • The fryers use a lot of oil—about five gallons. Extreme caution must be taken when placing and removing the turkey from the fryer to be sure it is not dropped back into the fryer, splattering the oil on the chef. • Never leave the fryer unattended and never let children or pets near the fryer when in use or after use as the oil can remain hot for hours. Keep all-purpose fire extinguishers nearby. • If a turkey fryer fire occurs, call 911 immediately. The NFPA urges those who prefer fried turkeys to look for grocery stores, specialty food retailers, and restaurants that sell deep-fried turkeys, or consider a new type of “oil-less” turkey fryer. tws
correction. The Juviderm, however, was not exactly the filler that was used in Paris; it did not last as long nor did it in its standard form allow for easy and uniform diffusion. With dilution, this could be accomplished but it would require several visits to achieve the end result. The FDA recently approved for use in the United States the previously referred to Parisian filler called Voluma™. Voluma™ is reported to last up to two years and it does not require any dilution because of its molecular size. In my experience, the overall patient satisfaction with these techniques of mid-face injection has been overwhelmingly positive. Next week I will be attending the Cutting-Edge Aesthetic Surgery Conference in New York City where the choices of filler versus fat to obtain this reinflation effect will be thoroughly discussed and debated. As noted previously, fat injection creates a near permanent result and, because of a so-called ‘stem cell effect,’ the surrounding tissues may be restored to a healthier
condition, including the skin. However, fillers also have benefits that allow them to be more easily used and tweaked for optimal results, although they will last now only up to two years. This area will undoubtedly be further researched and discussed at plastic surgery conferences for decades to come, probably until we arrive at a place where youthfulness and youthful performance will be brought on simply by topical applications. However, until that time, it seems that the filler Voluma™ will be the frontrunner of ‘offthe-shelf’ modalities that will help us to more easily reinflate facial structures to give us more fullness in our mid-facial area, resulting in more prominence to our cheeks, thereby restoring the golden ratio and lifting the lower face to diminish the linear signs of aging at the lower lid and cheek junction, the fold between the nose and the cheek and the parentheses sign near the sagging jowls. Further direct augmentation of the chin and the front and rear jaw line will also allow for sharper delineation
briefs
between the face and the neck. The composite of these injections is referred to as pan facial filler augmentation or reinflation. So much of this research continues to be assertively supported by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, whose members are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is designated as such by the American Board of Medical Specialties. In my next article, I will revisit this topic with up-to-date data from the upcoming New York City meeting. Until then, best of Thanksgiving celebration.

Rainey’s Birthday Party to Benefit The Hunger Coalition Lory Rainey has announced that for her 60th birthday party she is paying it forward to The Hunger Coalition. She is turning Ketchum’s Velocio into a dance club for one night, with DJ Spicetrain spinning the records, and a no-host bar will be available. The party is from 7 to 10 p.m., Friday, Nov. 29 at Velocio, on the corner of Sun Valley Road and Walnut Avenue. No gifts please. Lory wants to pay
it forward to The Hunger Coalition, so there will be a donation box for anyone who would care to donate to them. Here are some recent statistics from The Hunger Coalition: • The numbers of people needing our services have skyrocketed recently. We’ve had 40 new families walk through our doors since the beginning of November alone! Many of these are
due to the cuts in the Food Stamp program that took place this month. Others are from the delayed effects of the Beaver Creek Fire. • So far in 2013 we’ve served 456 families; 201 were brand new families that have never sought our assistance before. That number is increasing weekly. For more info on The Hunger Coalition, visit thehungercoalition.org

Blaine County Fire Restoration Brings Community Together
T
he impact of the forest fires is tangible in Blaine County. The smoke affects tourism and local businesses and the fires torch our beloved hiking trails and hillsides. They always tend to rear their ugly heads during the height of our short-lived summers and while they are a force of nature, we, as a community, have found a way to give back. 150 students from the Community School led by Claire Cassidy, director of the Community Service Program, partnered with Kurt Nelson of the Ketchum Ranger District and Idaho Fish and Game to explore how they could help with the fire restoration efforts. In place is an extensive and ongoing seed collection project, which focused its efforts this year on the Beaver Creek fire region. This project hit close to home for the students and intensifies the “pay it forward” spirit of community service. As an added bonus, it allowed the students to be in the open air for the harvest while at the same time engaging in an activity beneficial for the land. Most would call that a win/win. The restoration is a time-intensive process and seeds that are collected this year will not be re-planted until 2015. The students, from 9th to 12th grade, carefully collected approximately one million seeds from existing bushes. The collection is then sent to a nursery where they will be tended to and grow into mature plants. The growth process will continue over the next year and half, and once the new plants have gained “roots”, they are transplanted into the burned areas. The restoration is a culminated effort from: wow-students, Idaho Fish and Game, Wood River Land Trust, and the Forest Service. It is yet another example of various Blaine County non-profits coming together in a matched effort for the better of the community.
The Community School requires 100 percent of their students to participate in community service efforts throughout the year and feels it gives them a sense of responsibility and gratitude as residents of Blaine County. When discussing this years restoration project, Claire Cassidy says,
“I had just taken over the service program and knew I had to coordinate a service day for the Upper School. I couldn’t believe the devastation, and how traumatized everyone was by the fires. It was hugely personal for everyone in the school. We decided to throw the tradition of the multiple smaller projects out the window in favor of a major impact project that addressed rehabilitation of the devastated areas. Not only was the need so pressing, but I also felt it was a unique opportunity for the kids to be able to relate to the impact that their community service could have in a really personal way.” This is only one project in which our community and youth is donating their time and talent to the greater good of Blaine County. There is no shortage of volunteer opportunities and for more information visit wow-students.org. ‘Tis the season!

y parents and grandparents have always been great role models of generosity and instilled in my siblings and me the importance of giving back to your community and causes you believe in. A highlight of working for The Nature Conservancy was spending time with volunteers of all ages who would give up hours of their time to work on conservation projects, fundraising events or just office work because they were passionate about saving Idaho’s lands and waters. It made me realize how inspirational and contagious the generosity of others can be to motivate you to work harder and give back to things you believe in.

here he was, the customer, thinking about what to order for his special lunch delight of the day at the open window in the bright green truck. And at the window, taking his order, was this bright, cheery face with a huge smile ready to make her tasty organic delights—all freshly made from scratch. And this is what the customer had to say as he gazed at the bright-green truck with the white lettering that read, simply, “The Haven”:
“It’s a great addition to the local lunches and is a great catering option as well.” He should know because he just attended one of Kellee’s lively catering gigs. I was a delighted customer as well as Kellee presented me with one of her favorite lunch offerings: the Kobe brisket on the delicious bread baked by the Stone Ground Bakery and made even more delectable by Kellee’s roasted garlic parsley butter spread. She bakes the Kobe brisket the slow way—in the oven for 7 hours, just as she does her tobacco onions, which she cooks in the oven for two hours with salt and pepper and oil. This sandwich ($10.50) was truly excellent and, honestly, I am not much of a sandwich eater. It was light and seasoned just perfectly. Served along with it was her mother’s recipe of orzo pasta salad. On Kellee’s outdoor sandwich blackboard are her usual daily offerings (about five of them) but there is always a special or two of the day—such as the soups. Kellee comes as a bundle of joy and energy. She was raised in Portland, Ore., amidst a very tight-knit, loving family who also loved to cook the fresh,
organic way. That’s how she gained her passion for food and cooking. She has a double major in Studio Art and Business from Western State in Gunnison, Colo. When she completed college, she came home and, with a girlfriend whose brother just started working for the Sun Valley Company, thought that it would be fun to come see what living in this area would be like. And, just like that, she got a job in reservations for the Sun Valley Company. After, she became the market manager at Ciro Market for two years and then worked for Zenergy as operations manager, which morphed into food and beverage manager. But her passion had always been to have her own business, so when on Craig’s List in Portland, Ore., she noted a fully outfitted food bus for sale—voila!—that was it. The name, The Haven, was the easy part since her goal was to provide food as a refuge and shelter for people and, besides, it was her last name, as well. Kellee loves her new startup business, which commenced June 3rd of this year, but she also enjoys being part of the community, such as donating at

he new film All Is Lost has a number of good things going for it, least of all the triumphant return to the screen of Robert Redford in a terrific performance that will go down as one of his best. Let’s face it – Redford is a bona fide movie star and it really shows here. Playing someone that the credits only identify as ‘our man,’ he holds our attention for two anxiety-filled hours in his own Old Man and the Sea. That attention is key in J.C. Chandor’s (Margin Call) new film because, amazingly enough, the movie has no dialogue except for a brief introductory voiceover, an attempt at a radio transmission and a shouted expletive. In this day and age not only is it amazing—it is a revelation. The great writers say ‘show me— don’t tell me’ and in All Is Lost that is taken to great heights. It is also tough for an actor to pull it off and Redford accomplishes

Redford’s character (we are given no background other than the guess that he is a financially secure retiree) is alone sailing the Indian Ocean between Indonesia and Madagascar on a 39-foot yacht when his hull is compromised by a shipping container carrying, of all things, cheap Chinese tennis shoes. The result is that all his ability to communicate with the outside world is eliminated. Then the real trouble begins. Completely alone, Redford uses all his intelligence to weather the storm— both literally and figuratively. All Is Lost is a helluva ride. tws

Hikers See Cleansing, Ravaging of Beaver Creek Fire STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
R
enee Catherin shivered as she stepped over a log straddling the Greenhorn trail in the shade of a late November morning. “This is like a little refrigerator,” she said. It may have felt like an icebox on a frosty Saturday morning. But it certainly didn’t feel like an icebox on the afternoon of Aug. 15 as mini-tornados of flames 100 and 200 feet high swept through the Greenhorn Gulch area. On Saturday, Catherin, district trails supervisor for the Ketchum Ranger District, led 38 hikers along the nine-mile Greenhorn and Imperial trails loop. It was the first time the public had been allowed into the area to see how the popular hiking and mountain biking playground had fared in the Beaver Creek Fire, which destroyed one home in the nearby Greenhorn neighborhood. Catherin, who likens the area to a Sistine Chapel for nature lovers, had seen it for the first time a few days earlier. She was working on tourist hiking trails in Uganda for an international program with the Forest Service when the fire swept across the slopes lining the Wood River Valley from Deer Creek to Baker Creek. She didn’t even know about the fire until a Sudanese guide told her, “Your homeland is on fire.” “I thought he was referring to a fire in the United States in general,” she said. “When I found out it was here, I was expecting something more like the Castle Rock Fire—I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it was.” She paused. “Bad’s not the word I want to use. The fire’s not bad. It’s part of the cycle. Fire is carbon cycling at its most elegant—intricate patterns of sprouting and seeding.”
Tromping through the snow
Twenty-seven cars navigated an icy dirt road rutted by torrential rain and mudslides in the weeks following the fire, parking on the lawn of the Greenhorn Gulch Guard Station. Of the three dozen who piled out of their cars, a dozen would complete the entire route, including Ketchum District Ranger Kurt Nelson. Hikers didn’t have to go far to see the ravages of the fire. The first bridge leading to the Imperial trail had been incinerated, necessitating them to hop across Greenhorn Creek on icy rocks. Beyond that, the trail lay under a jumble of rocks and sticks washed down from the hillside above during a 50-year rain event that hit Greenhorn a few weeks after the fire. Catherin eyed a handful of aspen that had been freshly cut by beaver. “I think these guys are going for food—there are no willows left,” she said. “Usually, fires leave beaver lodges alone because they’re so wet. This one volatized the beaver lodges that were here.” One hiker slipped into the chilly creek as we negotiat-

ed a second stream crossing where another bridge had been desstroyed. The bottom part of the Greenhorn trail, however, was in pretty good shape, even though the trees lining it look like giant charred toothpicks. “We’re back to the daisy stage—tender grasses, shrubs. Hollyhocks and fireweed should be profuse for the next few years,” Catherin said. “Mature forests are a desert for wildlife. Without these burns, the ability for wildlife to use this landscape is limited. We’ve already seen elk and deer in here nibbling on the grasses that are coming up. This is going to be beautiful in the coming years. And it’ll be an absolute feast, a virtual smorgasbord, for wildlife.” We continued our walk along the trail that Catherin and others re-engineered just a few years earlier following the 2007 Castle Rock Fire. About a third of the way up the trail she pointed to a low saddle on the slope to our left. It might be a good place to relocate the Imperial trail rather than bring it again down the gulch, which is unsustainable, she said. “The temptation is for me to create a new loop that would come back and join Greenhorn. It’s one option,” she added.
A cleansing fire
We encountered the skeleton of a moose that died after the fire. Farther up the trail, some green Douglas fir—their bark mature enough and thick enough to have survived the fire—stand among the trees that didn’t make it. “I’m surprised. I was expecting the trail to be unusable. It’s very heartening once you get past the beginning of the trail where it’s so bad,” said John Dean, a mountain biker who with Nate Bingham was hiking, rather than biking, the trail for the first time. The fire wiped out the mistletoe that had been becoming pronounced, especially in the Douglas fir stands behind the Greenhorn homes, Catherin said. Mistletoe attacks old trees like cancer, changing their DNA, she said. “There is a mechanism in the DNA of almost every living thing to respond to stresses,” she added. Trout adjust to fire by becom-
ing fertile at a year old instead of 2 or 3,” Dave Spaulding told her. This is just a part of the rebirth of the area,” added Spaulding, whose Starweather home was within 150 feet of the fire. Catherin stopped by a mini-crevasse three feet deep that has been created along the trail by rain runoff. “The power of the velocity of water is amazing,” she said. “That’s how the Grand Canyon was formed. That’s why we would rather locate our trails on side slopes than in a gully.” At the top, where the Greenhorn trail becomes the Imperial trail, we found ourselves trudging through 3 inches of snow. The faint scent of smoke still hung in the air as we marveled how the Wolftone area, which feeds off Deer Creek, was unscathed, even though it looked as if it would be overrun by fire at the beginning of the fire. Catherin knelt to examine reddish-brown soil that has been blown free of snow. Much of the Greenhorn area was spared the soapy glaze that occurs when sap washes off vegetation, creating hydrophilic soil, she said. “When you get that, the water really runs off. It can’t percolate into the ground. It’s like grease.” She stopped to finger the branches on a scorched tree next to the trail. “We know the flames were higher than 5 feet—we trimmed the lower branches on this but the flames still got into the treetop,” she explained. We flushed a covey of grouse, as a crop duster that has been making the rounds between Webb Nursery in Bellevue and the Greenhorn area flew overhead. Fifteen seconds later we’re showered with a seed mixture that includes arrowleaf balsamroot, Big Mountain sagebrush, and two kinds of bunchgrass. The fast-growing bunchgrass will try to out-compete any cheatgrass that tries to move into the fire-ravaged slopes. And it will give wildlife yet more to eat. Rehabilitation workers got started too late to seed the peaks above Baker Creek and Curran Creek this fall but still planned to seed 5,800 acres in the Greenhorn, Deer Creek and Willow Creek drainages. The seeds will do fine in up to 4 inches of snow. Forest officials hope to make the Cow Creek trail in Green-

a year longer to reopen trails in the Greenhorn-Imperial area, Catherin said: “Most probably we’re going to see some more slides there over the next couple years.”

How to Make Getting a Mortgage Easier BY ANA TORRES
O
btaining a mortgage can at times be a long and arduous process. There are many pages of paperwork to fill out, numerous phone calls to be made and faxes to be sent. The information below will help you in your quest to obtain a mortgage at the best possible rate while reducing your stress level and making the process run smoother. Credit Score Since the bubble burst four years ago it has become somewhat more difficult to obtain a mortgage, as the rules are much stricter and the easiest loans that were available a few years ago are no longer available. In spite of this, one thing remains true–the higher your credit score, the better the loan rate. To get a good rate you will need to have a credit score of at least 700, and preferably higher. If you are under, say, in the midto high-600s, if you are able to get a loan, you will pay a higher rate. Make sure to order your credit reports from all the major credit bureaus and check them thoroughly for mistakes. There may be some incorrect information or accounts that are paid that are not showing up as paid. By following this simple advice you may improve your score significantly. And try not to open new credit accounts for the year preceding your qualification as inquiries can affect your credit score and new debt may disqualify your prequalification. Down Payment Although first-time home buyers may qualify for as little as zero down payment, other qualified borrowers may need a significant down payment. In
most cases, this means anywhere from 3.5-20 percent down payment. The days of nothing or little down are gone, for the most part, although there are some programs being offered in individual states that reduce the down payment significantly, such as those offered by the USDA Rural Development. And if you are a veteran, you may qualify for a little or no money down mortgage from the VA. If you are refinancing, many lenders will require you have home equity of at least 10 percent. There are other refinancing options that do not require an appraisal or home equity. Research your options to minimize out-of-pocket expenses. Savings Save, save and save some more! That’s right. If you haven’t already started, start saving as much money as possible. You need not only consider possible down payment money but enough to cover closing costs. In addition, you will want to have money set aside for any incidental expenses or to make minor repairs to your home, if necessary. It will also show lenders that you aren’t living paycheck to paycheck. A good rule of thumb is to always have three months of mortgage payments and other living expenses set aside just in case of a job layoff or other emergency. These are a few of the things you can do to help yourself get a mortgage at the best interest rate. tws About the Author: Ana Torres is the owner and broker of Mortgage Solutions in Bellevue.

A NEW SKI FOR THE TRUE BELIEVER, from page 1 black walnut logged from trees closer to home. “As soon as I made a ski with a bamboo core and hardwood veneer, I was hooked by the beauty,” Baukol said. “And the bamboo adds a dampening element to the ski at high speeds. We can also adapt the fiberglass core to suit the skier.” Baukol can match the recipe of a skier’s favorite skis. Or, he can tailor a pair of skis to the skier, with an interview, an onslope analysis and a choice of the hardwood top-sheet. A fully custom ski costs $2,500 and includes hand varnishing and a two-year warranty. Children’s skis cost $650. Nordic skis are $600—$700 with metal edges. And, of course, each comes with the brand, which features the words “Big Wood Ski” and “Sun Valley, Idaho” in a circle with a sheriff’s badge and the state of Idaho inside that. “Caleb’s a cowboy through and through,” laughed his wife, Bex Wilkinson. “We joke that he needs to run for sheriff.”
Ski as art
Baukol has made his own tools to do the job he envisions. He even drew on the technology of the humidor, used for cigars and high-end wooden guitars, to make his materials pliable. “It’s enjoyable for me to think forwards and backwards all the time,” he said. Potential customers can cut the cost of a pair of skis by building their own at a weeklong ski-building workshop Baukol plans to offer beginning Dec. 7. He sold five children’s powder skis that way in July. There were no children’s powder skis when he began designing his, he notes. Baukol also plans to offer ski instructors and others who ski day in and day out a chance to buy research and development skis for $750—a price that’s competitive with factory-made skis— in order to get word out about his boutique skis. Baukol says Sun Valley is the perfect place to test his product, given its consistent snow day in and day out beginning with Thanksgiving Day. When customers are done skiing on them, Baukol hopes they will take them inside the house. “I try to create functional art. I hope people will take these into their homes and display them when not using them,” he said. Kristofer Winquist, who divides his time between Sun Valley, Seattle and Alaska, says he already has a pair of the Big Wood Skis mounted over the fireplace in his fifth-generation home in Seattle. “I like the looks, the style. It fits with a fifth-generation house.”
ski-building workshop Big Wood Ski will hold a Ski-Building Workshop Saturday, Dec. 7 through Friday, Dec. 13. The workshop will include such things as cutting and grinding skis and tuning and waxing. It will kick off with a ski at 1 p.m. Dec. 7 followed by a meet-and-greet wine après-ski party. Tuition is $1,500.
Olympic hopeful Tai Barrymore’s skis hang in the walk-in hot box at 5B Garage. Regular hot waxes give you three to five runs worth of glide. Skis that sit in a hot box get up to five days of glide, Caleb Baukol says.

etchum’s yoga guru Richard Odom has a new instructional DVD out— this one for tennis players who can’t hit the topspin the way they used to. Odom, who has been teaching yoga in the Wood River Valley for more than 40 years, says the video was inspired by a yoga session with Florida Tennis Pro Stephan Laporte, who had been hobbled by some injuries. “He said, ‘You have a market out there: The baby boomer market. Tennis players out there are dropping like flies because they’re stiffening up so much,’ ” Odom recalled. “If this goes over well, it will lead to a library of DVDs on different subjects, such as golf, sleep disorders, wounded warriors, depression—anything that yoga might address.” The video is geared toward tennis players who don’t necessarily want to learn yoga but who want to keep playing tennis. “I’m talking tennis all the time,” said Odom. The DVD features four workouts—each 15 minutes long. One concentrates on the back; another, the stomach. The other two focus on sitting and kneeling. The techniques help soften the tissues, lubricate the joints and stretch the muscles, said Laporte, who initially resisted his wife’s admonishments to try yoga. “Modern yoga classes are hard, hot and aggressive. Richard’s classes are a relief from that model, offering a gentle blend of Eastern techniques along with his innate ability to guide you flawlessly through the series. I am a better person after I leave his class. I feel clear and free of the problems of my day, and more capable of facing the rest of it with a renewed spirit and clarity,” said actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who avails herself of Odom’s classes whenever she’s in Ketchum. Though focused on tennis, everyone can benefit from the DVD, Odom said.
Richard Odom, who filmed this DVD over the summer with his sister Star, was once dubbed “the yogi of the slopes” by “Snow Country Magazine.” He studied ballet as a boy growing up in Florida, became a body builder and weight lifter in his teens, and boxed, fenced, and studied Tai Chi and Aikido as an adult. He teaches classes daily at the Wood River YMCA. COURTESY PHOTO
“My idea is you’re spending an hour or two on the court, maybe two to three times a week. What are you doing the other 22, 23 hours of the day? In many cases, you’re sitting slouched, bent over the computer screen or a book or the steering wheel. You’re sending a message to the subconscious that your body doesn’t need to reach. And your body gets tighter,” he said. “Yoga allows you to take care of your joints, reset the length of your muscles, stimulate your nervous system, understand how much tension you’re holding in your body. It gives you a sense of equilibrium— your balance, which is in your ear. And it gives you a great sense of what’s going on inside the body— what’s working, what’s not, what’s missing, what doesn’t belong there. It gives you constant feedback.” The DVD costs $19.99 and goes on sale today at lululemon, Iconoclast Books, Chapter One Bookstore, My House Furnishings in Ketchum and Hailey, Bellissimo, Atkinsons’ Markets in Ketchum and Hailey and the Wood River YMCA. It’s also available online at Richtws ardOdomYoga.com.
Injury Prevention Workshop One of Reggie Crist’s World Cup racing bibs is among the mementos that greet the 60 members of the 5B Garage. Caleb Baukol says the tuning garage has 60 members, attracting a who’s who of skiers, from ski patrollers to heli-ski guides to skiers like Zach and Reggie Crist. “They talk about the snow, where they’re skiing, and it’s really cool,” Baukol said.
Want to steel yourself against ski injuries this season? You might want to check out the free Injury Prevention Workshop at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Wood River Community YMCA in Ketchum. Dr. Maria Maricich, a local chiropractor and a 1984 Olympic downhill skier, will present a 90-minute interactive workshop in which she will show
participants how to test neurological balance and efficiency, muscle balance, coordination and structural imbalance. Many of the things that can hold people back, leading to injury, can be corrected with a few simple exercises, which Maricich will explain. For information, call Quantum Healing Arts at 208-726-6010.
Public Comment Sought for Mountain Bike Trail Proposal on Bald Mountain Ski Area
Big Wood Ski utilizes eco-friendly, plant-based epoxy resins and sustainable bamboo cores in its skis. The facility itself is powered with wind-power offsets to cultivate sustainable energy. In addition, the company has a give-back program in communities where hardwoods are sourced. For each ski made out of African hardwoods, the company donates 5 percent of the purchase to the Ebenezer Foundation, which provides shelter, education and medical care for Zambian orphans. For woods sourced in the Americas, Big Wood Ski will donate 5 percent of the proceeds to Camp Rainbow Gold, which offers an emotionally empowering experience for children diagnosed with cancer.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Shoshone Field Office is proposing to authorize construction of approximately 7.8 miles of new non-motorized mountain biking trails over a three- to six-year period by Sun Valley Company on the BLM portion of the Bald Mountain Ski Area. The Sun Valley Company has identified opportunities for expanding its novice, intermediate and advanced mountain bike terrain below Bald Mountain’s Roundhouse Restaurant utilizing sustainable “flow” design and construction techniques that link banked turns, sections of uphill gradients, and other natural and manmade features to manage downhill bike speeds. Examples of “flow” design and construction within the Wood River Valley include the Punchline Trail in the Croy Creek Trail network and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Forbidden Fruit Trail #159 in Eve’s Gulch. If approved, trail construction could begin during the summer of Each ski receives a Big Wood Ski brand with a nod to Sun Valley.

Taize Services Set to Resume in December STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
T
aize services are set to resume for the winter on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at St. Thomas Episcopal Church on Sun Valley Road in Ketchum. The services will be offered from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Dec. 4, 11 and 18; Jan. 8, 15, 22 and 29; and Feb. 5, 12, 19 and 26. Taize services are offered during the winter months. “It is basically a meditative, hushed candlelight service with some soft chanting of songs,” said Rae DeVito. “No cell phones permitted—even if Heaven is calling. Heaven can call back!” Indeed, the silence speaks volumes at the midweek Taize services. Interspersed between hymns and chants, the periods of silence offer celebrants a chance for prayer and meditation. “Sometimes we read a scripture. Then we have a moment of quiet. When we read that same scripture again, I often find it has become much more profound. When you hear it again after you’ve reflected in silence, it takes on a deeper or more profound meaning,” said Jeanne Cassell.
Taize—pronounced Tay-zee—takes its name from the Taize community of France founded by a man known simply as Brother Roger in 1940. Brother Roger spent a lot of his time as a boy meditating while recovering from tuberculosis. He was helping refugees prior to World War II when he founded the monastery in Burgundy, France, in hopes of drawing men of different faiths to teach community and reconciliation. He worked tirelessly to heal the divisions between Christians, churches, even nations, until his death in 2005. The hundred men who make up the Taize community today come from 25 countries and have worked with the poor in Calcutta, even Hell’s Kitchen in New York City. Up to 10,000 more men and women flock to the monastery each summer to share in prayer and song. And many more meet for services like the one at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. St. Thomas began holding Taize services several years ago, greeting the dark of each winter with Taize candles. They start their Taize services during Advent season and continue through the
end of February. Each celebrant enters the darkened church, candle in hand. “The candle itself is part of the magic,” said Penny Monger. “And as I settle in I find myself ‘in the zone,’ hypnotized by the guitar music.” Typically, the service consists of a few short readings of the “Psalms” and other biblical passages interspersed with silence. Different voices chime in with short intercessory prayers alternated with musical chants from the Taize community that beckon, “Come fill our hearts with peace.” Celebrants finish with The Lord’s Prayer. “When I chant, it’s almost like a vibration I feel in my whole body,” said Marcia Liebich. “But the aspect I love most is the silence—it almost gets to the point where it gets uncomfortable. But, coming in the middle of the week as it does, I find it’s very relaxing.” The church’s longtime choir director Dick Brown will coordinate the services during the month of December with the church’s new choir director and organist Joel Bejot. Brown has resigned as of the end of
Celebrants use candles to light the words to the prayers and songs being used during the service.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, As soon as my kids could toddle, I immediately grabbed the classifieds and bought them tricycles. Now as they grow, I'm buying them bicycles with training wheels. I couldn't be more excited. I even found a newer road bike for myself at a great price. I've always had this beautiful image of my family taking bike rides to the beach, cruising along the boardwalk and stopping for ice cream. The other day, however, that image faded. My wife was teaching the kids how to ride, but didn't have a bike for herself. So I surprised her with a cute beach cruiser that someone was selling. She took one look at it and said, "No way!" Apparently she fell off a bicycle in college and swore off riding forever. I've been unable to convince her otherwise. As my dreams of family bike rides slip away, I thought I'd see if you guys have any advice. Is there anything I can do to get my wife on a bike again?

Cash: Normally getting over a
fear is like riding a bicycle, but that metaphor doesn't seems to be working for you. How does she feel about in-line skating? Carry: Kidding aside, the fact
Fast Facts Over the Top
In 1817 an inventor came up with a two-wheeled device made entirely of wood that you push with your feet. It was nicknamed the "hobbyhorse". Although there were many variations on the device, the true "bicycle" didn’t develop until around 1870. By this time stronger metal parts were available that afforded new designs. Inventors realized that a smother ride could be achieved with a larger front tire. Unfortunately, that design also allowed the rider to flip over if they hit a bump in the road, thus coining the phrase, "taking a header".
Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 11/24/13 ©The Classified Guys®
of the matter is that your wife had a traumatic experience while riding her bike in college. That can take some work to get over. Cash: Although she has chosen to avoid riding as her way of coping with the incident, she is bound to miss out on many fun adventures with her kids. Hopefully, that may encourage her to try and overcome her fear. Carry: The best thing you can do is continue to be supportive. If she would consider seeking professional help, then that would assist her in overcoming the trauma as well. Cash: Since you seem to be quite handy at finding various
bicycles, there is another option as well. There are three-wheel bikes that are very stable. Not only would it help ease your wife's feeling of falling off, but she might be the envy of people on the beach. Some of the bikes are very cool! Carry: The important thing is that you both keep trying until something works. As she begins to have positive experiences around bike riding, things should start to change. Cash: It's possible your dream of riding down the boardwalk can come true. Just remember that when it happens, bring enough money for ice cream!
Changing Gears
Ever since the bicycle's invention, people have been pushing the limits for the biggest and the best. For example, in 2007 more than 1,900 cyclists gathered in Taipei City, Taiwan to form the largest bicycle parade. Back in 2002 a group of mechanical engineers in the Netherlands built the world's longest bicycle at 92' 2". In Germany Didi Senft built the largest bicycle with a height of 12' 2" and a length of 25' 7". All of these records are giving the term " bicycle enthusiast" a whole new meaning. •

Reader Humor Birthday Brake
I admit it. Being a dad isn't always easy for me. Sometimes I don't choose the best way to explain things to my child. When I gave my son a bicycle with training wheels, I took him outside to give it try. At first I held onto the handlebars. After a few steps, I let go and ran alongside. As he picked up speed, I stopped running and shouted, "step back on the pedals and the bike will brake." He nodded in agreement, but ran straight into the bushes at the end of the driveway. As I rushed over to brush him off, I asked why he didn't push back on the pedals. Proving my point he replied, "You said if I did, the bike would break!" (Thanks to William B.)
