ou wouldn’t think a homestead built during Ketchum’s rough and tumble mining days would have much in common with a lakeside Bavarian resort where kids attend school in a 1764 castle. But Lisa Vierling and Michael Stoneback’s rustic log home eight miles past the ski lifts on Warm Springs Road not only serves as the setting for the annual Bavarian Christmas Market, it offers a touch of Bavaria in the midst of the Sawtooth National Forest. Their Croney Cove home features a Bavarian-style hip roof, outdoor balconies and window boxes filled with flowers on the outside. And the Bavarian theme continues inside, with antique Bavarian tile on the wall and Bavarian mementos, such as sleds, a Swiss bell belt on the barn, schnapps holders, a dowry trunk for a young bride’s clothes and linens and a wedding target meant for wedding guests to take a shot at. It’s the perfect setting for what will be the eighth annual Bavarian Christmas Market on Dec. 10 and 11. Proceeds from the market help send Ketchum youngsters to Ketchum’s sister city of Tegernsee, a resort town about 30 miles south of Münich. At the same time, Croney Cove’s roots in Ketchum’s mining history provide a touch of the Wild West for Tegernsee youth who visit Sun Valley. The seven-acre compound that comprises Croney Cove was originally settled in 1890 by Williams Warfield, for whom the hot springs across the road is named. Maud Baugh, a woman who dressed in flour sacks, picked her teeth and had long hair under her arms that she pulled on as she talked to people, bought the place a few years later. She built bathhouses utilizing thermal water on the property, along with a hotel, gambling casino, restaurant, laundry and brothels for the miners from the nearby Blue Kitten, Rooks Creek and Thompson Creek mines and Lewis ore wagon drivers enroute to Atlanta mines. One of the brothels still sits in the Croney Cove compound. “I don’t know how many miners there were in the area, but one of the mines had a 16-hole privy, so I’m guessing they had a couple of hundred, at least,” Vierling said. “Later, the Board family logged this area and Ivan Swaner’s mother cooked for miners and lumberjacks and opened

summer camps for the people who came up from Twin Falls.” Vierling, whose Seattle family had long vacationed in Sun Valley, bought the property in 1989. “It turned out that my father, who was a big fly-fisherman, had taken a picture of me standing on a rock in the creek right across from here when I was 10,” said Vierling, who owns World Cup Travel. Vierling tore down the old sod-covered log pool house that Warfield had built for his arthritic wife. Then she rebuilt the cabin, which pioneers built without nails, and lived in it while she built her own home. She designed the new 2,500-squarefoot home with a Bavarian-style hip roof. Then she built a large two-room Bavarian-style “barn” with a sleeping loft and a two-story, 1,500-square-foot Bavarianstyle chalet guesthouse. The compound has been featured in log home books and used as a photo shoot for

Sun Valley Opens with Good Snow, Warm Temps PHOTOS & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

D

ozens of skiers and boarders were whizzing down Lower River Run, reveling in the first day of Sun Valley’s 2011-12 ski season. But 17-year-old Carl Breidenbach and his 13-year-old brother Grant just wanted to sit. The two boys could have spent the entire day sitting in Sun Valley’s new Prinoth Beast, which was parked along Lower River Run with Sun Valley’s new Prinoth Bison grooming machines. The two brothers parked themselves for as long as Mom and Dad let them, learning everything they could about the half-million-dollar groomer that can do the work of two and sometimes three of Sun Valley’s older groomers. “It’s an amazing machine because of its sheer power and snow-moving capability,” enthused Grant. The brothers were among those who took time out from skiing Thanksgiving Day to climb into the Beast for a view from behind the steering wheel. “My older son is a snow cat fanatic,” said Belinda Breidenbach. “He knows everything there is to know about them. He’s saving his money not to buy a car but to buy a cat.” While the Breidenbach boys scoped out the Beast, Jay and Belinda Breidenbach listened to Sun Valley’s Corey Allen and Mark Gillespie describe how Sun Valley’s 110 weather stations decide when to shift snowmaking into operation. As of Thanksgiving Day, Sun Valley had sent 62 million gallons of water through its 38 miles of snowmaking pipe—20 million gallons more than last year at the same time. Considering there’s 650,000 gallons in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, that’s enough to fill about 100 Olympic-sized pools, Allen said. Five million gallons went to get Upper College ready to open for the 2,600-plus skiers that turned out for a picture-perfect opener on a mild, sunny Thanksgiving Day. And the rest was

spread around the mountain, allowing Sun Valley to open top to bottom on both sides and open additional territory, such as Upper and Middle Warm Springs, as the weekend progressed. “It’s not that we were more ambitious than usual this year—we’re always ambitious,” said Mountain Manager Peter Stearns. “We were able to get this much open because we had some help with cold temperatures that allowed us to make an amazing amount of snow.” The Roundhouse Restaurant will open for lunch on Saturday and for dinner on Thursday, Dec. 8 Ken Pratt, the former chef at Seattle Ridge Lodge, will assume the kitchen duties at the Roundhouse this year. The Roundhouse will be the site of a four-course New Year’s Eve dinner with seating for 75 people, said Doug Horn, Sun Valley’s food and beverage director. The dinner will include an hors d’oeuvres reception and complimentary champagne in Averell’s Bar. Sun Valley is working with the Junior Patrons from the Sun Valley Center for the Arts to offer a New Year’s Eve bash at River Run with a live band and no-host bar and food, Horn added.

tional Recreation Area Headquarters north are skiing well despite the weekend’s warm temperatures. The southernmost part of the Harriman Trail has been widened to accommodate skate skiers nicely and a snow bridge now allows skiers to ski Jenny’s Way at Galena Lodge without having to hop the creek. In addition, Sun Valley Nordic Center has opened the Practice Loop and Leif’s Loop. tws

The garden will boast six different themed light displays encompassing such themes as Christmas trees and snowflakes. Arches will be lit ushering visitors into the Garden of Infinite Compassion while the greenhouse will be decorated, as well. Volunteers also plan to do fun things with candles and fire pits.

“We want to build on it each year, adding ice sculptures and snow sculptures until it becomes something you don’t want to miss,” said Stephanie McCord, who is overseeing the event. The garden will be set aglow from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays from Dec. 3 through Dec. 23. The walking tour will be capped with music, hot beverages, homemade cookies and crafts. It costs $5 a person to wander through the display or $15 per car. tws

Ed Viesturs to Present Free Community Event Monday at The Community School

Acclaimed mountaineer, Ed Viesturs, will speak at a free public event for the community at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5 in The Community School Theater. During his presentation, titled “No Shortcuts to the Top,” Viesturs will discuss his life story, his adventures on the world’s highest peaks and how leadership, teamwork, and overcoming major obstacles have helped him achieve his success. Viesturs, a Community School parent, will also meet with students during the day before his public presentation. Ed Viesturs is widely regarded as this country’s foremost high-altitude mountaineer. He has successfully reached the summit of all fourteen of the world’s 8000-meter peaks without supplemental oxygen, an 18-year-long project he termed “Endeavor 8000.” Viesturs completed this goal on May 12, 2005, with his ascent of Annapurna—one of the world’s most treacherous peaks. He is one of only a handful of climbers in history (and the only American) who can claim this accomplishment. Viesturs has published three bestselling autobiographies, most recently, “The Will to Climb: Obsession and Commitment and the Quest to Climb Annapurna— the World’s Deadliest Peak,” in October, 2011. Books will be available for sale and a book signing will follow the event. For more information, please call (208) 622-3955, ext. 166, or visit www. communityschool.org.

a recipe…from my table to yours SUN: Why did you choose this recipe? Barbara: I chose this recipe because it is so easy and delicious. It is great with Champagne or a glass of cold wine for the holidays. It will make 30-40 bite-sized appetizers. You can make up the toasted bread rounds in advance and keep them frozen in a plastic bag. I purchase the shrimp frozen and thaw myself to ensure freshness and sweetness. You can use less or more cheese or onions. Customize it to your personal taste. All of our guests enjoy the bite-sized appetizers. They are colorful and inviting. You can make the toasted rounds larger using a baguette and toast them as above. Serve with a salad for a lunch/brunch entrée. There is nothing more welcoming than

greeting guests with a warm appetizer on a brisk evening. SUN: How did you get interested in cooking? Barbara: Cooking has been a lifetime hobby of mine. I enjoy making food look beautiful as well as taste delicious. I guess you can say that I enjoy cooking since it allows me to paint colorful pictures with food. SUN: How long have you lived in the Wood River Valley? Barbara: I have lived here in Sun Valley for the past 15 years. I never take the beauty of this Valley for granted. It is a very special Valley, indeed. tws

Shrimp on Golden Toasted Rounds by Barbara Isbell 1 loaf of white sandwich bread 3/4 lbs. of fresh shrimp (purchase frozen) 1/2 C. sharp cheddar cheese

2-4 green onions, sliced (white & green parts) Small squirt of fresh lemon juice Best Foods Mayonnaise

Place bread slices on a cutting board. With a cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into 2 or 3 rounds each. Save the crusts for another use. Place the bread rounds on a cookie sheet. Bake them in a 350-degree oven until golden, turning only once. Watch them carefully since it only takes a few minutes to toast. Cool on rack. Thaw the shrimp and squeeze out the excess liquid. Combine the shrimp, cheese, onion, lemon juice and just enough mayonnaise to bind and no more. Place the toasted rounds on a cookie sheet and spoon a mound of shrimp mixture on top. Bake in a 350-degree oven just until cheese melts and shrimp are warmed through. Serve warm. Bon appètit’! Thank you, Barbara, for your recipe. Enjoy everyone!

hen Jennifer Corrao wanted to start a community dinner on Thanksgiving to teach her daughters the value of giving, she turned to Tammy Eaton. She knew the Bead Shop owner knew how to get things done. Eaton had started the Haunted Forest in Bellevue as a way to raise money to help the city maintain the Howard Preserve. She learned to drive a Bobcat to refurbish the Bellevue City Park. And she even started up an outdoor movie series in Bellevue to get her Bellevue neighbors to come together over popcorn and Walt Disney flicks. All little things, Eaton acknowledged. “But it’s the little things like that that invite people to become invested in their community,” she added. Eaton’s investment in her community will be recognized on Saturday, Dec. 17, during the Eighth Annual Winter Solstice Appreciation Dinner at the Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room. Also being honored is Mary Fauth, who founded the local Girls on the Run program in the Wood River Valley to teach girls about things like self-esteem. The dinner was created by Ketchum residents David and Jill Hitchin as a casual but elegant way of getting together with friends over a gourmet dinner during the holiday season. Guests are invited to honor the valley’s non-profit organizations by dropping a sealed, addressed,

Last year dinner guests donated gifts of money to 35 different organizations. “The Winter Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years to show appreciation for loved ones, friends and community. This is a way for us to show our appreciation for our Sun Valley friendships, our wonderful community and the wonderful life we have here,” said David Hitchin. The black-tie optional affair kicks off with no-host cocktails in the Sun Room of the Sun

ood River High School senior Greg Lindbloom is taking service to a new level. He will be putting his life on the line in the service of his country by going into the army after graduation. “It’s always just something I’ve thought about,” he said. His goal is to be an Army Ranger, which is an elite group within the military. “My mom’s not too thrilled, but even though it’s dangerous, you know that you are doing something important for everyone. Of course, I’ve thought about the danger, but I’m okay with the thought that I might die. But I love the idea of protecting family, country and the American way of life. It’s so important to protect our freedoms and make it possible to continue to have the ability to do what we do on a daily basis.” Part of Lindbloom’s motivation and desire was stirred by a class he took at Wood River called War and the Modern World. “We went through what it’s like to be a soldier and watched training videos and the HBO series, Band of Brothers. We also saw a film that followed Marines on a march to Baghdad and read a book about Navy SEALs that got ambushed in Afghanistan and how the Army Rangers got called in to save them. We also saw the movie Blackhawk Down which was about the Rangers and showed how when one guy fell out of the helicopter, the rest risk their lives to save him. It really showed you the sacrifice and brotherhood.” Lindbloom’s first day of training will be July 3rd at Fort Benning, Georgia. “I know it’s going to be really hot and really hard. After training, I’ll train with Airborne for three weeks and then it will be Army Rang-

Th e W e e k l y S u n •

ers School. It will be like basic training only a lot harder. There are tremendous physical requirements. I’ve been talking to a former Ranger and I’m going to begin training with him and he’s been telling me how hard it’s going to be. I want to be a Ranger because I want to be with the best. Some people go into the service because they have nothing else to do, but I want to be with the elites because they’re people that want to be there.” When asked where he’d like to serve, Lindbloom answered, “I want to go where I’m most helpful and that would probably be Iraq or Afghanistan.” Born in Glenwood Springs, Colorado Lindbloom moved to Stanley, Idaho, when he was four years old. “We moved because my mom wanted something different, but all I remember was that it was really cold. Every year we have a football retreat there and no one can believe I went to school there. Basically, the school is two rooms and a gym and I remember learning the ABC’s from a video while me and the other three kids in kindergarten sat in a hallway.” After moving here, Lindbloom attended Bellevue Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Wood River Middle School and then the high school. “We’ve moved around a lot but now we live in Woodside on the hill by the baseball field and we really like it a lot. It’s been a great place to grow up. Everyone is so friendly and you really get to know people. I’ve been to cities but small town life really suits me.” Let’s hope that Lindbloom’s future serving his country is a fruitful and fulfilling experience. tws

Handel’s Rodelinda

Sun Valley Opera and the Bigwood4 Cinemas in Hailey will co-host the MET HD: Live broadcast of Handel’s opera “Rodelinda” at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The Metropolitan Opera first presented the opera in 2004 and Renee Fleming will once again star in the title role in the newest production. The opera is set in Milan and the surrounding countryside in the 7th century and tells the story of the queen Rodelinda whose throne has been usurped and whose husband has been forced to flee. He returns in disguise after spreading the rumor that he has died. The opera is a story of deception, intrigue, love and the vagaries of politics. Handel was the most successful composer in the first half of the 18th century and wrote Rodelinda in 1725. Tickets are $22 general admission and $20 for seniors.

CSI Community Ed. Announces Film Competition; entries due soon

Attention all area filmmakers: The College of Southern Idaho Community Education Center is seeking entries for their 2nd Annual Film Competition to be held during the 2012 CSI Film Series which begins on January 19. The competition is open to amateur filmmakers. The CSI Film Competition is open to all short films in any genre made by amateurs, and prizes will be awarded based on the number of entries. Entries must be postmarked or submitted by December 9, 2011. There is no restriction on when or where the film was completed, but films previously entered in the CSI Film Competition will not be considered. Collaboration films will also be accepted. A jury of area film professionals and community members will judge all entries and the winner will be selected based on a scoring rubric with the following criteria: subject originality, content realization, visual storytelling, production value and viewing engagement. The top five films will be selected for a screening prior to each week’s feature film during the CSI Film Series that will begin on January 19, 2012 at the Orpheum Theatre in historic downtown Twin Falls. The winner of the 2011 competition was “This is Twin Falls’” submitted by Jake Schumacher, Scott Whipple, Heath Kemper and Jedidiah Hurt. The film follows the growth of the area street artist, Future Twin Falls, and his contribution to the growth of Twin Falls. “This is Twin Falls” was featured on the street art blog, Wooster Collective, a website dedicated to showcasing “ephemeral art placed on the streets in cities around the world.” The blog can be found at http://www. woostercollective.com/. More information about the competition and film series can be found at http://fineartscenter.csi.edu/filmseries or by calling (208) 732-6290.

Festival of Trees kicks off with Panache Fashion Show BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

rees won’t be the only things getting dressed up at this year’s Festival of Trees. The ladies can learn the latest to know about getting dressed up, as well, at the Festival of Trees’ Fashion Show. The 14th Annual Festival of Trees—a benefit for Hailey’s Senior Connection—will be held this weekend at the Senior Connection, 721 S. 3rd Ave. in Hailey. The event includes a Fashion Show by Panache from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday that includes a champagne luncheon for $25. “It’s a way to get ladies out and see our beautiful building,” said Kathy Lynn, who is co-chairing the Festival of Trees with Kathleen BjorkmanWilson. “And I like knowing that we’re helping people who need help with this event. Especially, Meals on Wheels—sometimes we’re the only people our homebound seniors see during the week.” The Gala Auction Event at which benefactors can view and bid on decorated trees and wreaths will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Senior Connection. The entry fee of $75 includes cocktails and appetizers, raffle drawings for two $1,000 gift certificates and one $500 gift certificate from Atkinsons’ Market. Tickets: 788-3468. “It will be very elegant and beautiful and lots of fun,” said BjorkmanWilson. “Among the

briefs Milk and Bookies program a Success! More than 350 local families received more than the makings for a Thanksgiving Dinner from The Hunger Coalition this year. Each of the children in those families also received a brand new book. The books were donated by children and individuals who contributed to The Community Library’s first Milk + Bookies book drive, which netted more than 200 books to be given away with the Hunger Coalition’s Thanksgiving food baskets. The donations included board books, first readers, picture books, chapter books, and nonfiction books. The Children’s Library decided to offer these books as a special treat as part of the Hunger Coalitions’ ongoing effort to provide local children with food and supplies that their families might not be able to afford, said Kerry Funkhouser, the Children’s Library di-

rector. “We felt it was just as important to instill the seed of giving to others, and what better holiday then to do this than Thanksgiving?” Funkhouser said children making the donations offered up a variety of reasons: “I want to be a nice girl who shares because I have lots of books and I want all the kids to have a book,” said Kelly. “Because I love books and I want others to love books, too,” said Clara. “I would like to donate Magic Puppy Muddypaws because it is a very good book and I have read it two whole times,” said Gace Ann. The children making the donations were treated to two stories about giving: The Giving Tree and The Mitten Tree, read by volunteer Ann Taugher. They then celebrated their gifts with milk and cookies.

he Muppets are back and they’re better than ever! In their new movie, appropriately titled The Muppets, the dormant franchise is reborn with just the right amount of retro sensibility to make this a surefire holiday hit. Both self-aware and self-effacing, the movie packs enough fun to be popular with young audiences who are introduced to the lovable characters for the first time as well as Generation Xers who were weaned on the puppets’ antics. As one excited thirtysomething said to me upon entering the theater with his kid, ‘I am so excited to see this!’ Besides the puppets and the fabulous musical numbers, the film is blessed with two of the

courtesy art

including a barbershop rendition of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit, and a variety of guest star appearances, most notably Mickey Rooney paying homage to the ‘let’s put on a show’ spirit of the films he made with Judy Garland. And, indeed, what a show they put on! tws

horoscopes

Venus guides us as we cross into December

A

s we cross from November into December, Venus guides our passage. From the stately station of Capricorn, the love goddess is a prima ballerina, disciplined, lovely and with the regal carriage that makes even her most common gesture seem like a dance. Venus’ harmonious angle to Jupiter in the early week and her subsequent alignment with Pluto bring new grace and ease to our personal relationships. ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will be fun to flirt with artifice this week. Your life may seem a little like a staged version of your story: the sets propped up to look realistic and the actors repeating the right lines. Yet it all feels very playful and temporary, as though you could change the plot at any moment. Indeed, you can. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes big change seems to follow a small event in your life. However, it’s likely not the small event but a culmination of many, many small events through time that causes the change. Later, you’ll ponder the reasons, but for now, you’ll be content that the change in question is obviously for the better. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll probably notice this week that people don’t say “thank you� nearly as often as they should. They take kindness for granted and sleepwalk past miracles on a daily basis. You’ll never know the extent of the good you do simply by noticing, being grateful and feeling continually amazed by the world around you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have a run of success. You’ll earn the confidence of others. They will be pleased with your performance. Stay alert so that you can identify what is different about these times. Your awareness of the actions you are

taking will allow you to do more of this in the future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is clear that a decision has to be made. You might think the choice is a hard one to make due to all the complications involved, but that’s only if you choose with your head. Pouring over research, interviewing all involved and other time-consuming steps will be unnecessary if you choose with your feelings instead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be developing new interests, and you’ll want to get as much experience as you can this week -- mostly because it’s fun. Repetition will be key to your learning process. Allow for this to happen, even if you have to change your schedule or convince someone to give you extra care. You were meant for this! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve developed the habit of moving forward even when your faith wanes. You may lose sight of the goal, but you will be patient, and you will persevere. By the end of the week, the clouds part, and you remember what was so important to you in the first place. Until that happens, you act “as if.� SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You deserve to be around those who are enthusiastic about your offerings. The one who hesitates shows doubt. You don’t like the message, and you probably won’t feel like waiting around for a definitive answer from such a person. You’ll be quick to move on to a situation that’s a better fit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll join with those who have a common interest and will act to benefit those who need it most. Your sign mate the great anthropologist Margaret Mead said it best: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the

world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are genuinely interested in others, and you will be a better listener because of it. Also, this week shows you as even more open-minded than usual. Because you are without preconceived notions, you’ll hear the full depth of what’s being communicated to you and react accordingly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll acknowledge what’s going on even when it’s a little bit unpleasant to do so. Your acknowledgement is different from complaining or bringing up the negative parts just for fun. You are simply saying what you see because you know you can’t change it until you can articulate what exactly needs to change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Give credence to your psychic ability this week. Note what your mind’s eye sees that your actual eyeballs do not. The best way is to write down your dreams, visions and impressions. They won’t be so easily understood, at least not right away. But write them down anyway. In time, they will prove quite accurate. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: The best parts of your life have not been entirely self-created. Rather, the big thrills have come from unexpected collaborations and happy accidents. The trend continues this year. You’ll also revel in long hours with people who make you feel terrific about yourself. This is possible because you stop spending time with people you don’t feel so great around. A professional goal motivates the action through January. March brings a windfall. Wedding bells ring in August.

most appealing actors in Hollywood as the leads – Jason Segel and Amy Adams. As the story goes, Segal was approached by the studio to pitch ideas, and number one on his list was to make a Muppets movie. He enlisted his partner on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Nicholas Stoller, to co-write and produce the excellent script, and enlisted James Bobin (Da Ali G Show) to direct. The clever plot acknowledges the sad state of the franchise whose last movie was made in 1999 to little public acceptance. Segel, his best friend and brother Walter (a muppet) and Adams set off for Hollywood with the hopes of seeing the Muppet Studios, now a shambles and in disrepair. Finding out that an evil oil magnate played by Chris Cooper plans to demolish the studio so he can drill beneath it, they enlist the help of Kermit to reunite the old gang and put on a telethon to raise the $10 million needed to save the building. Along the way, there are 12 tremendous musical numbers,

briefs Electronic Petting Zoo at the Library

Just in time for the holidays, the Hailey Public Library has organized an Electronic Petting Zoo. Inspired by the library’s newest eBook services, this event offers hands-on exploration of today’s eReader devices. Businesses have been invited to showcase, demonstrate, and share their newest and most popular eReaders from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 1. “Our main goal is to make technology accessible and familiar to the public,” says LeAnn Gelskey, director of the HPL. “Even if a Kindle is already perched in your pocket, or a SmartPhone is crouching amongst your Christmas packages, come get a hands-on look at everything else available.” Representatives of Best Buy, Verizon Wireless, Creative Edge, and Cox Communications have all confirmed participation. Bring your family for this fun, educational event. Please note that no live animals will be available for petting. For more information about eBooks, please contact the Hailey Public Library at (208) 788-2036 or visit the library online at www.haileypubliclibrary.org.

The Latest Art at St. Luke’s

Organizers of the Art Program at St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center recently announced the opening of two new exhibits in their Local Artist and Lobby galleries. These new shows featuring local artists are installed and ready for viewing. The Hospital Art Program provides affordable space for both established and up-and-coming local artists to show their work. The Art Program’s goal “is to provide an opportunity for local artists to show their work, to increase the community’s awareness of this talent, and to enhance the visual atmosphere of the hospital for patients, staff and visitors alike,” stated Katie Pratt, Art Program Manager. Every six-months there is a new “rotation” or exhibit in the two separate galleries; the Lobby Gallery and the Local Artist Gallery. Now showing in the Lobby Gallery are paintings from the Gail Severn Gallery. In the Local Artists Gallery upstairs works are on display in photography, painting and mixed media from local and nationally renowned artists. Some of the featured local artists are Melissa Graves Brown, Christopher Brown, Paulette Philipot, Thia Konig, Richard Rush, Susan Perin, Poo Wright Pulliam, Marie Stewart and Tom Prater. Most of the artwork is for sale. In addition to the rotating exhibits, the Art Program maintains more than160 pieces of original art, which are either permanent gifts or on longterm loan to the hospital. With the opening of the new hospital in 2000, a number of local residents generously gifted many pieces of fine art and sculpture to the permanent art collection. The Art Program always welcomes permanent gifts of art, and all gifts are tax deductible. For more information about the art program, please call Katie Pratt, Art Program Manager, at 510.292.6300 or email her at kprattski@mac.com.

Reeves Gathers Medical Supplies

Retired Lt. Col. Reginald R. Reeves of Sun Valley, who is pursuing his humanitarian efforts around the world, has once again gathered medical supplies and surgical and hospital equipment for use in underdeveloped countries. Col. Reeves and his wife, Beverly, together with volunteers Donna West and Misti Bird, are sending two medical equipment valued at more than $150,000 to the Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. They previously sent surgical equipment (donated by the late Dr. Richard Silver and his wife, Margot, of Sun Valley) worth more than $1,500,000 to a hospital in Vietnam. To help with his ongoing efforts, you may reach Col. Reeves through his Sun Valley Charitable Foundation at P.O. Box 391, Ketchum (83340) or P.O. Box 1841, Idaho Falls (83403).

rockin’ art at wood river Middle school eighth grade students’ rock and mineral show

E

ighth graders at Wood River Middle School have been working on rock and mineral collections since September. Specimens appear out of attics, basements, barns, and the local landscape to be displayed in the most unusual ways. Over 200 projects were on display last Wednesday. Some of the standout projects included Nelson Cantrell’s baseball stadium (bottom left), Pearl Beriker’s Eiffel Tower (bottom right), Emily Scott’s beach scene (left) and ESL student Vanessa Serva’s restaurant (right).

‘Can Do’ Provides Green Light for Students PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

T

he 70-by-80-inch quilt Savannah Fredricks is stitching together serves a double purpose. The quilt—featuring elk, a log cabin and other family memories--is designed to fulfill the requirement for her senior project, while teaching her the math and other skills she needs to make it. At the same time, she hopes her “Daddy’s Little Girl” quilt, which she plans to give to her father, will open the door to an improved relationship between herself and her father. “I wanted to make him a quilt because we don’t get along,” said Fredricks, who wants to pursue a nursing career when she graduates from Silver Creek High School in May. The quilt might never have come together, however, if it hadn’t been for the Blaine County School District’s Can Do Fund, which helped Fredricks pay for a cutting knife, mini mat and other supplies. The Can Do Fund, administered by the Blaine County Education Foundation, was created to meet the needs of students whose families are struggling financially, said Blaine County Education Foundation Director Mike Burchmore. It goes for things like health insurance, physicals, uniforms and shoes to participate in school sports; AP test and dual credit fees, elective fees, fees and insurance for field trips, school supplies, instrumental rental and some online classes. It has enabled some students to buy tech lab supplies and

made it possible for eight Carey students to pay insurance fees so they could play football last fall. “Playing football might be what keeps a kid in school or motivates them to get a ‘B’ average,” said Education Foundation Board Member Jennifer Haemmerle. “I love that we can make that specific a difference — that a girl gets to play clarinet in the school band or that another girl gets to make a healing quilt. “What we call free public education isn’t free,” she added. “More than 40 percent of our students at Wood River Middle School are on free or reduced lunch so there’s a need out there.” The Can Do Fund provided $1,000 worth of assistance to students during the 2009-10 school year. But the Education Foundation turned to the community for help last year after

the troubled economy sparked so many requests for assistance that there wasn’t enough money in the Can Do Fund to meet them all. Several community organizations, including the Papoose Club, Little Black Dress Club, Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation and the Idaho Community Foundation, stepped up to the plate with donations. As a result, the Can Do Fund has been able to meet requests totaling $4,500 this year—a fourfold increase over a couple years ago. “It helped me a lot—I wouldn’t have been able to do the quilt for my senior project had it not been for that,” said Fredrick. “It makes me feel so good to be able to help a girl like that,” Burchmore said. “She’s the kind of success story we want to build on.” tws

Sustainable Paints and Stains

M

ost paints, stains and adhesives contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which affect indoor air quality; however, low-VOC and non-VOC products are now available. VOCs are the fumes that you smell—containing benzene, ethylene glycol, vinyl chloride and even mercury—while you paint. These compounds can cause headaches and/or allergic reactions. Paints may also contain fungicides and biocides. Oil-based paints have high amounts of VOCs; alkyd-based paints and latex paints are safer. When buying paint, or hiring a painting contractor, ask for no- or low-VOC paint. Read the label and aim for no VOCs. If the paint you need contains VOCs, choose a paint no higher than 250 grams per liter for latex, and no higher than 380 grams for oil-based. Or choose another brand! If the paint has some VOCs, ventilate your work area and use a fan. Avoid the painted rooms while they dry. Dispose of paint cans properly. If you’ve used latex paint, wash brushes and rollers in the sink with soap and warm water, and not in the gutter or on the grass; it could end up harming fish and wildlife. Let empty cans dry, and then throw them in the trash with the lids off. Take unused portions to Ohio Gulch as Household Hazardous Waste.

Reinventing the Wheel Photo & Story BY BALI SZABO

I

t’s quite likely that the physicists at the CERN particle accelerator will never uncover the basic elemental particle, the common denominator of all matter. Knowledge of the mechanisms of the external world, though daunting and noble if attained, will not lead to the mountaintop. The Holy Grail—our pot at the end of the rainbow—requires an inner journey, one that will allow us to outgrow ourselves, like a molting snake that sheds its skin. The journey does not land us at the foot of God. It simply returns us to where we started—right here. Everything we need to know is right here, but we need to make the circular trip to understand that. This is the basic vision of ‘being in the moment.’ If we’re here, then we’re already there, hence the saying, ‘There’s no there there.’ Since we are stuck here on Earth, we need a stand-in, a substance that governs, embodies and sheds light on the world, from the biosphere to the cosmos, from the micro to the macro, one that’s very much here—water. It represents balance and communication—even better than Fox News. The world as an indivisible entity is the basic definition of holism (it should be spelled ‘wholism’ because it does not necessarily refer to God, to holy). The term was invented by the poet/scientist Goethe (1749-1832) in reaction to the excesses of 18th-century

Enlightenment and the Age of Reason, which set the table for Western civilization and progress. It was left to superstitious ‘mysticism and metaphysics’ to resuscitate the holism baby thrown out with the bathwater. It’s been tough swimming against the tide of progress. The one last bastion of thought that sees the world as a coherent, interactive whole is religion, and its various hybrids, under the umbrella ‘spirituality.’ Early on, ancient Chinese thought and the Talmud intuited the role and nature of water as essential to the formation of life and sentience. The sixth Hebrew letter is ‘wav,’ meaning ‘and’—interconnection, cause and effect, the physical. The first six letters make the first word in the Bible, bereshit’—in the beginning, Genesis. The seventh letter is the wavy, fluid ‘zain’ that shows water as essential to the development of higher intelligence and the spiritual aspects of nature. While the meaning of the Hebrew letters may be a bit esoteric, we all know something of the I Ching and its ubiquitous yin/yang symbol. The latter is a genius of insight—two interwoven curved shapes, equal in size, that echo the design of ebryos, the polarities of water and of life, and the resolution of these op-

posites into a whole. In ancient China, water was the symbol of change. The Book of Changes was compiled by the Chinese emperor Wen 3500 years ago. It remains to this day the perfect synthesis of water and the nature of life. The Chinese dragon, with a pearl by its mouth, represents fire enclosed by water, Qi (Chi), the vital, vibrating force that animates all of nature. The human body is seen as a watery planet in miniature. Its waterways, the complex meridians of acupuncture, are the carriers of that Chi energy. Homeopathic medicine (and yoga) are based on the knowledge of these energy systems. Oops. This will be it for water for quite some time. Next week I’ll touch on why holism doesn’t necessarily lead to God, especially in view of the ‘multiverse,’ an endless series of universes, with ours being just one—that our universe is our town, so to speak. After that I’ll switch to a series of stories about the ‘Land of the Snows’—the Himalayas—and various stories from a 30-day trek back in the good old days of 1976. Bill and Glenn Janss and Cam, plus two others, were on that trip, along with seven strangers, Jack Turner (author), 12 sherpas and lots of porters. The pics are absolutely beautiful. There are too many great ones. tws

UI-Blaine Extension Tips

What’s growing in Blaine County?

D

id you ever wonder what’s growing in your backyard? Or what crops you are seeing in the southern part of the county? Blaine County primarily produces alfalfa (hay), malting barley (for beer), and seed potatoes. Due to our shorter growing season, producers must grow crops that will survive our harsh winter conditions and/or grow and mature in our short summer months. The alfalfa produced in Blaine County and neighboring Camas County are primarily produced organically and sold as organic hay to the dairies in the Magic Valley. As a result, this south-central area of Idaho has the largest acreage dedicated to organic production in the state (ISDA). Malting barley, the second most abundant crop in Blaine County, is sold primarily to Miller-Coors Brewing Company. This grain is very tolerant to environmental stresses, making it an ideal crop for this highelevation growing area. Although it is a tolerant crop, producers strive to meet industry standards for highquality malting barley that has a low protein value, free from disease and pest pressure, free from heat damage, as well as having plump kernels of uniform size. These factors help contribute to why Blaine County is an ideal area for growing high-quality malting barley. Where does your beer come from? Stay tuned for our next Living Well, where we will focus on the use of malting barley for beer production. tws For more information on Living Well visit your Blaine County Extension office at 302 First Avenue South in Hailey, phone: (208) 788-5585 or e-mail: blaine@uidaho.edu website: http://www.uidaho.edu/extension

Leader in Me Program Challenges the Old Way of Doing Things PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

eronica Patlan learned a different language to teach the students in her dual immersion class at Bellevue Elementary School this year. Whether she uses English or Spanish is not important. What is important is that she teaches them to discard phrases like “I have to” and “they made me” for proactive language like “I’m going to” and “I decided to.” Patlan is one of about 150 teachers at Bellevue, Carey, Woodside and Hemingway schools who went back to school earlier this year to learn how to teach Stephen R. Covey’s “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” to their young charges. The program, titled “The Leader in Me,” is already in 530 schools worldwide. It expanded to all the elementary schools in the Blaine County School District this year after successful pilot programs last year at Hailey and Carey schools where students cut their Ds and Fs by two-thirds. “I think it’s exciting,” said Patlan. “I can’t wait to see how the kids change because of this.” Kevin R. Miller, who has taught the “Leader in Me” program in places like India, Myamar, Oman, Dubai, Vietnam and even Guatemala — where students can’t graduate from high school without going through the Seven Habits, challenged teachers to redefine leadership. “Management is power over people. Leadership is power with people. Little children can be a leader all the time — if they’re influencing others, they’re a leader,” he said. Challenged to slice a cake four ways, one Woodside Elementary reading teacher got 16 pieces by slicing the cake in the middle and stacking it before slicing again. Those cutting the cake the more conventional way got just eight. “She challenged a paradigm,” Miller said. “If you look at your school differently and stack things differently, you can have a different school, a transformation.” Miller told teachers that their job is to communicate children’s worth and potential so clearly that the children come to see it for themselves. “I know you have a wide range of students from poor children to the children of multimillionaires. You need to offer a common value system that’s not related to net worth,” he said. Miller added that the teachers could promote those values among children by helping them to internalize seven habits. Among them, seeking first to understand, then to be under-

Isabel Lui, a first-year dual immersion teacher at Bellevue Elementary, said the program got her thinking about what kind of legacy she wanted to create with her kids. Carlos Meza, a social worker at Woodside Elementary, said he likes the idea of having each student write a mission statement detailing his or her goals for school and life: “I want to empower kids. That’s what this is all about.” tws

Part-time Sun Valley Woman Wins Prize for Work with Third World Countries BY KRISTA DETWILER Part-time Sun Valley resident Nancy Sanford Hughes, who splits her time between Sun Valley and Eugene, Ore., recently received a $100,000 Purpose Prize Award on behalf of her nonprofit organization, StoveTeam International. Civic Ventures started the prize in 2005 to recognize people over the age of 60 in “encore careers” making a social difference in the world. Five individuals over the age of 60 are selected each year to receive up to $100,000 to be put toward their endeavors.

Hughes founded StoveTeam International in 2007 in conjunction with her local Rotary club. StoveTeam is a nonprofit organization that establishes stove manufacturing factories in Third World countries. StoveTeam factories produce affordable, fuel-efficient and safe stoves for countries that suffer from smokerelated deaths and illnesses. Hughes founded the organization after visiting Guatemala and finding that smoke inhalation is the cause of twice as many deaths as malaria in developing countries.

Zions Bank Marks Decad as Top Small Business Lender in Idaho Zions First National Bank recently announced its rank as the top provider of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) loans in Idaho for 2011, marking its 10th consecutive year as Idaho’s No. 1 SBA lender. As Idaho’s third largest financial institution ranked by deposits, the announcement reinforces the bank’s growing presence in the state (Source: FDIC). Zions Bank approved 129 SBA 7(a) loans in the SBA’s Boise District, totaling more than $12.5 million and representing more than 37 percent of the 343 SBA-backed loans approved in the district during fiscal year ended 2011. In Northern Idaho, Zions Bank also approved another 27 loans, totaling more than $4.7 million, in SBA’s Spokane District. The capital provided through Zions Bank’s loans to Idaho businesses allowed them to grow so that they could hire 218 new employees and retain

943 positions, totaling 1,161 jobs, according to SBA data. Zions Bank also leads all other financial institutions in Idaho in marketing SBA loans to women-owned businesses and new start-ups. During fiscal year 2011, 33 percent (or 43 loans) of the SBA loans approved by Zions Bank were to women, and 23 percent (or 30 loans) were made to new businesses. SBA 7(a) loans are the most basic and most used type of loan in SBA’s business programs. The program offers up to 25-year, fully amortized loans that result in lower monthly payments for the borrower. Proceeds from the 7(a) program may be used for most business purposes, including the purchase of real estate for business operations, acquisition of equipment, and working capital.

L.L. Bean’s Christmas catalog, “Condé Nast Traveler” and other publications. “Bavarian architecture is really pretty simple—square structures with elements of design,” said Vierling. “My influence for the house and ground came from Bavaria. Yet I discovered later by looking at old pictures that my buildings ended up looking much like the buildings that were here a hundred years ago.” Vierling got her logs from Alturas Lake. She built her fireplaces with granite stones she pried from the surrounding hills. She salvaged lumber from a home that was being demolished for window frames and stairs. And she supplemented the antique light fixtures she brought home from her European travels with light fixtures that she found in the ground around Croney Cove. “We found a treasure trove of things we could use buried in the ground,” she said. “People had been using this site as a dump for years—we hauled nine big truckloads away before we could even see the cabin. The fireplace was covered in so much brush we didn’t even know it was there. And as I uncovered the garden, I even found a marble walkway.” Vierling’s kitchen is reminiscent of a Bavarian farmhouse with an open-hearth fireplace and traditional furnishings, including beer steins hanging on the wall and religious shrines that she says are placed in each corner of a Bavarian kitchen. At Christmas, Vierling and Stoneback roast chestnuts in the old-fashioned roaster that sits above the stove. Vierling salvaged a China sink for $5, carrying it home on the plane. She brought home antique faucets and antique Bavarian cabinets, which her husband replicated. She brought home blue and white Bavarian Meissen, along with dishware from Austria and France. And she even salvaged porcelain tiles made by a family that had been making the tiles for four centuries from a Bavarian woman who was remodeling her kitchen. She stuffed as many as she could in her suitcase and had exchange students from Tegernsee bring the rest. “I’d head out on my vacations with three empty bags and one black dress and come back with the bags full of treasures,” she said. “I found out what a small world it is when a friend of mine bought a visitor by to see about renting our guest house. It turned out the woman’s husband’s grandfather had made the tiles.” Outside, Vierling has planted extensive gardens, incorporating beer hops and other plants the pioneers who preceded her planted years ago. A sunken hot

tub sits outside the pool house; another hot tub is perched on the riverbank. Both are fed by natural hot springs bubbling out from under the mountains. A sauna utilizes the heat from the original fireplace. Stone fountains, willow chairs and antique park benches are everywhere, including an antique Swiss Black Forest bear chair built by the family of a clockmaker who decided in the 8th century that he wanted to do something besides build clocks. A covered bridge connects the main house and guest chalet to the barn. Vierling, Stoneback and friends often sup on the bridge during summer, the creek water rushing below. The barn is where Vierling holds her European Christmas Market every year, selling treasures she’s brought back from Germany, along with baked goods and crafts made by local artists. She has added on a greenhouse where she grows tomatoes even in the winter, jasmine that sweetens the air around Croney Cove and night-blooming cereus, a tall-growing cactus that blooms just once—and then from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. “It is really beautiful. And it’s the perfect setting for her European Christmas Market,” said Vierling’s neighbor, Minette Broschofsky. “Everything’s so Christmasy, with its antiques from Europe, the giant tree that Lisa stands in the barn, the Christmas lights...” Living is not as easy as living in the center of town, Vierling admits. Avalanches typically close the road a couple times a winter, forcing Vierling and Stoneback to walk around it and have friends pick them up on the other side until road crews can dig a path through the towering walls of compacted snow. But the couple cherish the time they spend with their neighbors, who occasionally get together and ski or snowshoe to a nearby rock outcropping and cave where they cook a winter meal over an open fire. “I don’t mind driving the road—it puts me in a meditative state. And we get to live with nature, with the birds calling— who else can say they’re late to work because of an avalanche or elk on the road?!” said Vierling. “It seems miles from anywhere. But it’s really not that far from town. As one of my friends says, ‘It’s around the corner from the end of the world.’ ” tws

Bavarian Market

The Bavarian Christmas Market will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 10 and 11 at Croney Cove, eight miles past the ski lifts on Warm Springs Road. Proceeds from this year’s market will help send Morgan Jones to Tegernsee next summer.

Dear Classified Guys, I need your help. I advertised my old car in the newspaper for $3000, and continued to drive it until my new car arrived. While going to work, I accidentally spilled coffee on my lap, swerved off the road and crashed through some bushes. My car finally stopped when it hit a Jesus statue on the front lawn of someone’s house. Aside from having to pay for the bushes and a new statue, I now have a car with $1500 worth of damage. I don't know what to do. Should I repair the car and then sell it or just lower the price and hope someone buys it? Now that my new car is here, I'm looking for ideas.

It's one thing to see an accident while driving on the highway. It's another to cause a collision of you own while turning to look. Believe it or not, rubbernecking at accidents, people or other distractions is a leading cause of the over 6 million accidents that happen every year. Driver fatigue, cell phones, other passengers and adjusting the radio also rank among the leading causes of crashes. So the next time you're driving, be safe and keep your eyes on the road.

Cash: The next question is how

bad was the damage to your car? Considering the high cost of repairs, a few scratches and a dent from a statue could easily rack up $1500 worth of repairs. Carry: If the damage is simply cosmetic, try selling the vehicle without having the repair work done. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who will buy a good running car with a dent or two, especially if you adjust the price accordingly.

Carry: Since you already have your new car and are probably looking for a headache-free conclusion to your situation, try selling your car without investing a lot of money.

"It's just a quick trip to the store. I don't need to wear my seatbelt." It's a common excuse that could prove fatal. Wearing a seat belt is not only the law, but also a safe habit we should all have. Surprising, only about 68% of all drivers wear their seat belts. While most of us never plan on a collision close to home, three out of four accidents happen within 25 miles of home. And approximately 40% occur at less than 40 mph. That sounds just about the speed and distance of a quick trip to the store. •

There's a small pond on the corner of my road that cars can accidentally slide into when the road is wet and slippery. Last rainstorm one driver took the turn too fast and skidded his new car right into the water. Fortunately, the pond is only a few feet deep so he escaped unharmed and the police quickly arrived at the scene. As the gentleman watched a tow truck pull his car out of the pond, the officer explained how he would have to write a citation. "For what?" asked the gentleman still in his dripping suit and tie.

briefs One-Click Resource for Veterans The Federal Transit Association (FTA) awarded more than $500,000 to the Community Transportation Association of Idaho (CTAI) and three other Idaho agencies to develop one-call, one-click resources that will provide veterans and their families greater access to transportation options making it easier for them to obtain medical, DAV and other necessary services upon completion of their service to the country. As part of the grant, Valley Regional Transit received funding for a One Call information system that will build on the existing demand-response scheduling system currently deployed

by each transit provider in the state. They hope to incorporate veteran and social service agencies in search of transportation for veterans and other clients through a single portal. This coordination will enable veterans across the state to access demand response service and will allow area providers to participate in One Click and One Call projects. For more information from CTAI contact Heather Wheeler, Executive Director, at 208-344-2354. For more information from Senator Crapo’s office contact Lyndsay Nothern at 3341776.
