Share the Spirit Spreads the Love PHOTO & STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
bout 50 Ketchum merchants are offering a unique way to spread the Christmas spirit around this weekend. Those retailers are participating in Share the Spirit whereby they donate 10 percent or more of their sales Friday, Saturday and Sunday to the non-profits of their choice. Iconoclast Books, for instance, has chosen to give a percentage of its sales to Company of Fools. Bellissimo is supporting the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley. The Elephant’s Perch is supporting the Blaine County Recreation District. And Silver Creek Outfitters is supporting St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation. Many of the stores are offering goodies and special promotions to entice shoppers and add to the festivity. Silver Creek Outfitters, for instance, is offering a catered reception from 5 to 7 p.m. opening night featuring nibbles from Ketchum Grill and its new Enoteca Italian restaurant scheduled to open in mid-December in the old Starbucks building. NourishMe will have a wine tasting on opening night. The non-profits, in turn, are encouraging their patrons to shop at their benefactors through Facebook postings, e-mails and postcards. St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center has decorated its lobby with posters encouraging its employees and visitors to shop at Silver Creek Outfitters—its benefactor. The campaign keeps shopping dollars in the community while raising money for local non-profits. “Isn’t it great?” said Company of Fools artist Denise Simone. “You buy a gift for your family, and eat, the same time you’re giving to an organization that gives to the community, so your shopping dollars add and add and add and go on and on and on.” “It’s like nerve endings running around with everyone spreading the same message,” said Doug Brown, who heads up the Wood River Economic Partnership (WREP). The event is sponsored by SVPN, WREP and the Copy Center at Giacobbi Square. Terry Ring of Silver Creek Outfitters and others got the idea going in 2006 but shelved it when the recession hit. Justin Williams of SVPN calls it a powerful example of philanthropy that speaks to the fabric of the community. “There are two things that are synonymous with Christmas—fun and giving. And that’s what we’re known for in this Valley,” he said. “We’re tying the idea of sharing the spirit into the festivity of the holidays.” This year’s Share the Spirit weekend was organized on short notice.

kis will get Keith Anspach down the mountain—or even up the mountain. But his snow bike will take him anywhere. “It’s super fun riding up the stairs on them,” he said, pedaling his bike across the snow at Dollar Mountain and up the steps of Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge for emphasis. “You can climb a tree with one of these if you have the legs to do it.” Anspach is one of a growing number of Sun Valley residents that have added snow bikes to their arsenal of snow toys. Retailers across snow country can hardly keep the bicycles, which are perched on monster-size fat tires, in stock. And Backwoods Mountain Sports has sold more snow bikes this year than ski packages, said Anspach. At four inches wide, the tires are four times the width of road bike tires. And with just 10 to 30 pounds of pressure in each tire, they allow Anspach and others like Mark Carnes to float on top of powder that regular mountain bikes would sink in to. “I can ride to the top of Quigley Canyon and it’s like riding a monster truck—the bike blows through everything,” said Carnes. “They’re quick and they handle corners well. The tires are not so wide that they’re cumbersome. But they are efficient. And, even as big as these bikes are, they have all-aluminum frames so they only weigh about 30 pounds,” he said. Fat bikes, as they’re called, debuted in Sun Valley a couple of years ago. But they had their birth in the mid-1980s in Fairbanks, Alaska, where mountain bikers tinkered to come up with the ultimate bike to ride the 1,049-mile Iditarod sled dog race course from Anchorage to Nome. Brian Williams, who works at Backwoods Mountain Sports, lived in Fairbanks then and watched fat-bike creator Simon Rakower weld You can use bar mitts with snow bikes. But Keith Anspach has found that he does fine with his ski gloves. “And even then I’m usually too hot,” he said.

took a brief trip of a few days to drought-stricken, fire-ravaged, shootBali Szabo ing-rampaged, mile-high Denver, Colorado. No wonder the voters legalized marijuana—they needed something to make them laugh. Just talking to a few people, the subject was treated consistently with levity. I did not go as a ‘marijuana tourist,’ but they are coming. The state is already thinking about how to accommodate it. It is appropriate that Colorado be the first state to do it, an hour ahead of the state of Washington. For decades, the state’s semi-official anthem has been native son and Aspenite John Denver’s ‘Rocky Mountain High.’ This will give Mile-High stadium an entirely new meaning. Peyton Manning’s brilliant exploits couldn’t come at a better time. Of course, this intrusion of sanity isn’t popular with everyone. I quote this great letter to The Denver Post in its entirety: “I was deeply disappointed to see that Colorado voted to legalize marijuana. This means the end of our family trips to your beautiful state. Doesn’t your population realize that children, and even babies, would be exposed to the addictive and mindaltering drug just by being in the same room as those smoking it? Those in the same room will intake the drug just by breathing (very different than being in the same room as those consuming alcohol). How sad for our future generations. I will not risk bringing my children to Colorado and being unwittingly exposed to even the pungent odor of marijuana in hotel corridors.” Editor’s note: Amendment 64 expressly prohibits marijuana use that is “conducted openly and publicly or in a manner that endangers others.” Interestingly, this issue bridges the great political divide. Many conservatives consider the $10 billion/year cost of the War

on Drugs a boondoggle, and a major intrusion of big government into our lives in more ways than just drug use prevention. Former Republican governor of New Mexico, a ‘family values’ conservative, Gary Johnson (2012 presidential candidate on the Libertarian ticket), has long championed, at the very least, the decriminalization of marijuana. He feels the public is way ahead of our elected representatives on this issue. Privately, many elected conservatives favor legalization because it will slash enforcement/penal system expenses while at the same time significantly boosting revenues. As is so often the case in American society, money talks and Reefer Madness walks. One leftover thought about this trip to Denver was the drive.
This isn’t the East Coast. The vast majority of people in the West live in urban sprawls, but once outside those cities, Americans’ romance with the open road can resume. We can drive longer distances for visits. I know a lady here in Hailey who, at the age of 80, drove non-stop to San Diego. On my way back from Denver, once past Ogden, at 5:30 p.m., the traffic on I-84 diminished by the mile. I had the road to myself toward Twin Falls. There were only a few cars on Route 93, and nothing on Route 75 past Shoshone on a Friday night. Two hundred miles of privacy. I told my friends back East, and they couldn’t conceive of it. tws If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

But, perhaps, the whole Valley could be involved next year, Brown said. “The merchants are discounting their sales to make this happen. Hopefully we’ll generate enough sales to make it worthwhile for the merchants,” he said. If it does prove successful, Brown envisions an April SuperSlack Sale where the whole town goes on sale to attract shoppers from all over the state. “The idea is that if we can work together, we can create high shopping volume at relatively low promotion costs for time periods where we really need the cash flow,” he said. tws

mericans produce enough Styrofoam cups every year to circle the earth 436 times. Polystyrene foam, or Styrofoam, is made from a carcinogen called benzene. It is foamed with gases such as CFC or HCFC that deplete the ozone layer. Other gases included in the foam are pentane and butane, which are hydrocarbons that contribute to urban smog. Styrofoam is non-biodegradable, and will be still around hundreds of years from now. Improper disposal is a major problem; have you looked into the trash can of a fast-food restaurant? This product is bulky and takes up precious space in our already overfilled landfills. It is deadly to marine life. Sea turtles and fish mistake it for food and eat it. The Styrofoam’s buoyancy keeps the critters afloat, unable to dive for food so they starve to death, or it clogs up their systems and they die from gastric complications. Boycott polystyrene foam products: picnic plates, cups, egg cartons, ice coolers, package fillers (peanuts) and lunch boxes. If you eat in a fast-food restaurant or have coffee out, ask for paper and explain why. At work, keep your own cup or glass or at least substitute paper cups for Styrofoam. When shipping, stuff your boxes with newspaper, and if you receive Styrofoam peanuts, take them to a local store to be reused. Styrofoam is not recyclable in our vVlley, so we need to focus on reducing our consumption. Info/contributions: reduce@ ercsv.org or 208-726-4333 tws
Students Find Senior Solutions in Pursuit of Championship STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK
G
etting older? No fears. You should be in good hands, if the fourth- and fifth-graders at Hailey Elementary School are any indication. Students on the school’s FIRST LEGO League teams were charged this year with finding ways to improve the quality of life for seniors by helping them to be independent, engaged and connected in their communities. And the students responded with an array of “senior solutions,� from a basket buddy to help seniors carry laundry, groceries and other heavy items, to a television that can be turned on and off with levers—a godsend for seniors who don’t have the vision or dexterity to see and manipulate tiny buttons. “The goal is for kids to take authentic problems and find solutions,� said technology teacher Kristy Turco. “These kids took a field trip to the senior center to meet with senior citizens and find out what kinds of challenges they have. For many, it was an eye-opener. The kids don’t realize what challenges seniors face unless they have a grandparent facing hearing or seeing problems.�
FIRST LEGO League is an extracurricular robotics program for 9- to 16-year-olds designed to get children excited about science and technology while teaching them employment and life skills. Fourth-grader Kye Harned showed an invention his team created to help make self-serve checkouts at the supermarket more senior-friendly with large text, audio and a big “Help� button they can push to call for assistance. Garrett Thomas Dowd said he interviewed his grandmother to see what she could use help with. “She said her friends and herself have trouble lifting heavy items like laundry up and down the stairs. So we came up with a basket buddy,� Dowd related. The basket buddy consists of a laundry-type basket that the senior can drape over their shoulder and support on their hip. They can take it off easily, thanks to a carabiner that unlocks in an instant. In addition, the students had to design and build robots that perform a variety of tasks. And they had to outline ways they used core skills like “coopertition�—their word for cooperation in competition—to succeed at brainstorming and devising

their final products. Those products included balance aids for seniors reaching for items on high shelves, as well as easy ways to turn off the stove for seniors whose arthritis prevents them from turning knobs. The students presented their solutions at the senior center, using a game-show format to make it more fun than a conventional presentation, said Josie Saleen. “This is an important issue because more kids get born and eventually they turn into seniors because medicines are keeping kids from dying,� she added. “It’s good that we can come up with solutions because seniors have a lot of trouble and really need

WRHS at State Drama Tournament
Several members of the Wood River High School Drama Department spent a rainy weekend competing at the state drama tournament at Century High School in Pocatello. Shea Goitiandia, Caroline Scarbrough and Taylinn Lake made it to the semifinal round by placing 13th out of 41 in pantomine. They created an original piece that acknowledged the roots of pantomime in costume design, makeup and slapstick with their original pantomime, “The Forgotten Heart.� Although they did not break
into the finals, they placed somewhere between ninth and 13th out of those 41 entries with superior ratings and blue ribbons. Katie Walton, Ian McKenzie and Tracy Otto gave three performances of a “Seussical� number, placing 20th out of 41 events and earning excellent ratings and red ribbons. “The kids are already talking about events for next year, knowing now what the competition is like,� said drama coach Karl Nordstrom.

ozens of parents and children braved a rainy Saturday afternoon to get their first look at a threedimensional vision of what Sun Valley’s remodeled Konditorei will look like. The Austrian-style patisserie, with its clock tower, was unveiled as part of the new gingerbread village created as part of Sun Valley’s Winter Wonderland in the Boiler Room. Sun Valley’s General Manager Tim Silva beamed as he watched the Snowball Express train his children had given him for Christmas run around the village. “This is marvelous. This is the first time I’ve seen the train run,” he said. Gingerbread baker Mary Jones stood exhausted but smiling as she counted on two hands the number of hours of sleep she’d gotten the past two weeks. Friday night was an all-nighter for herself, as well as Sun Valley’s Randy Long and Thane Hendricks. Even Jones’ daughter Rachel pitched in to spread a thin layer of royal icing on the lawn outside the buildings. “It’s a low snow year,” quipped Long, who had been juggling gingerbread duties with security duty at the Roundhouse restaurant, which is being remodeled. Parents pointed out familiar sights around Sun Valley Village to their children. Others took pictures of themselves in front of the gingerbread village. Even as they did, Jones mulled ways it could be made better next year. It would be nice, she said, to split the platform the village sits on along the walkway so that people could walk between the buildings just as they do in real life. “I put all the detail into the fronts of the buildings, and it’s difficult to see them since they’re in the middle,” she said. “I’d also like to add Dollar Mountain and Bald Mountain if I had more time.”

t. Thomas Episcopal Church will greet the dark of winter by resuming its series of Taize services starting at 5:30 tonight. The meditative prayer services are held each year during winter because the candlelight ceremony embodies a setting of peace and soft light designed to foster communion with God. People are handed a service booklet and candle as they come in the door. “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.” For 30 to 40 minutes participants chant songs, and engage in periods of silence, scripture

reading and prayer. Interspersed between hymns and chants, periods of silence offer celebrants a chance for prayer, meditation and reflection. “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. It’s as if you think you’ve heard what it’s saying. Then, when you hear it again after you’ve reflected in silence, it takes on a deeper or more profound meaning,” said Jeanne Cassell. Taize is a unique, ecumenical service that was founded by a man known as Brother Roger in 1940 in the village of Taize, France. Brother Roger, who spent a lot of his time as a boy meditating

while recovering from tuberculosis, was helping refugees just prior to World War II when he founded a monastery in Burgundy, France, in hopes of drawing men of different faiths to teach community and reconciliation. His desire: to inspire peace and forgiveness among different churches, even nations. The service attracts 6,000 participants a week—most of them young adults—in its place of origin. “For me, it’s very healing and restorative,” said Carter Hedberg. The services will continue Dec. 12 and 19 before taking a Christmas break. It will resume Jan. 9 and continue Jan. 16, 23 and 30, as well as Feb. 6. tws

two- and three-wheel rims together, build fatter frames and test disc brakes’ ability to prevent snow buildup as he experimented with the fat bikes. “They wanted to ride on the rivers because when the rivers freeze over in Alaska they become the highways of Alaska. Everyone rides on them, from snowmobilers to dog sleds,” Williams said. “These take on fresh snow well, whereas mountain bikes with studded tires really only work well on city streets where cars have turned snow to ice.” The bikes took off in the Lower 48 only after when a Minnesota company introduced a mass-produced steel frame bike called the Surly Pugsley. This year the Surly Moonlander debuted with five-inch tires. And there’s a new lightweight 28-pound Salsa Beargrease bike designed for lightweight riders that has women like Renee Kuross salivating.

He took second at the Galena Grinder and third at the Avimor Knobby Tire Series Finals. He also snagged two fourthplace finishes and a ninth-place finish in the USA Cycling 2011 Mountain Bike XC Nationals in Sun Valley. “Fat bikes are great fun, especially when spring rolls around and the snow forms a crust,” he said. “You can go out Greenhorn Gulch—anywhere that’s still snowed in.” “You can take them anywhere snowmobiles have gone—like Baker Creek,” echoed Anspach. “I love it in the spring when you get a snow crust on the flats—it’s like Idaho’s snow in Moab. You can ride wherever you want.” But fat bikes aren’t just for riding in the snow. National Park Service rangers in Alaska use them on sand to patrol the beach, their aluminum frames resistent to corrosion from sea
salt. And the bikes, which retail for $1,700 to $3,000, handle equally well in mud. They also make great expedition bikes for Third World countries where there’s little asphalt to ride on. They have five water bottle mounts and plenty of places to hang dry bags and panniers. “You don’t want to put yourself in a box and just call these bikes ‘snow bikes,’ ” Williams said. “I saw a National Geographic special about two Range Rovers on some expedition and they were getting about two miles per hour because it was so muddy. I could have gone where they were going and been back by the time they got there on a fat bike. They’re the Range Rovers of the bike world.” That said, there’s more snow than sand in Sun Valley. And Anspach has but one dream for his snow bike. “My goal is to do an eighth wave of the Boulder Mountain Tour with snow bikes,” he said. “Wouldn’t that be something?!”

NO SHOVELS REQUIRED Sun Valley Revels in Four Feet of Snow
STORY & PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK Dr. Glen Shapiro pulled the top window down in the gondola Saturday morning to find himself staring at a cake of snow in place of the window pane. It reminded him of when he lived in Tahoe where monster storms deposited snow up to the second floor of people’s homes, he said. Skiers and boarders may have felt as if Sun Valley had been transported to Tahoe over the weekend as storms dumped 4 feet of snow on the top half of the mountain and a few inches on the bottom. A persistent rain on city streets discouraged some from making the trip to the mountain Friday and Saturday. Those who took a chance were rewarded with deep powder as the ski patrol opened run after run, including International and Sunnyside. One skier boasted how he’d taken his new skis down Arnold’s Run without getting a scratch. Other skiers reveled in the snow under the Challenger lift, which felt like skiing over soft pillows. “This is like February skiing,” enthused Cyn Hannah, of Hailey. “We have better powder skiing now than we did all last year.” “This is good,” said Sun Valley General Manager Tim Silva. “Tahoe’s getting three times as much but this is better. They’re worried about flooding there.” Sunday’s snow brought traces of Tahoe’s famed Sierra cement near the bottom of the mountain. And high winds—another trademark of Tahoe— closed the Christmas lift at mid-morning, forcing dozens of skiers and boarders to hike from the gondola up Roundhouse Lane to the Warm Springs side of the mountain. But Steve Kaiser of Ketchum wasn’t fazed. “Look at all this snow,” he marveled from his perch above Liftline. “This snow is so dense it will be a base for the ages.” Those who lived in K-Town and points south were able to play in the snow without touching a shovel, a snowblower or doing snowload calculations, thanks to weather that resembled Whistler

at the base. Up north, it was a different story as Galena Lodge’s Erin Zell urged skiers to bring shovels to help dig the lodge out of 18 inches of snow that fell Saturday. When the snow settled Monday, the Sun Valley Ski Patrol entertained a crowd of skiers with a pyrotechnics show as they bombed The Bowls. The explosives dislodged several slides, including a massive one that slid halfway down from the top of the slope just below the lookout. Before it started snowing again on Tuesday, Sun Valley had racked up 75.5 inches of snow for this year’s snow season. That’s more than double that of most resorts in Utah, Colorado and California. Only a few resorts eclipse that amount: Alta, which reported 85 inches on Monday; Crystal Mountain, which had 89; and Jackson Hole, which reported 96 inches for the ski season, but only had a few runs open. tws

POWDER DANCE C STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
elebrate four-plus feet of powder at the ultimate snow dance weekend Thursday through Sunday. “Expect fun and lots of great costumes,” said “Powder” magazine founder Jake Moe, as he did his own little snow dance this weekend at the bottom of Warm Springs. The centerpiece of the weekend’s festivities will be the K2/Scott Sports Powder Festival Dance on Friday in the Limelight Room of the Sun Valley Inn. Themed “Powder to the People,” attendees are encouraged to dress outrageously—get pinned by Captain Powder Dave Moe, who founded “Powder” magazine with brother Jake in Sun Valley 40 years ago, and you win big. The dance runs from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. and will feature Salt Lake’s Marmalade Hill, which Moe says is the ultimate dance band. Admission to the dance is $30 with tickets available in advance at www.WeLoveSunValley.com. In addition to the dance, there will be a laser light show and music from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday at The Cornerstone Bar & Grill, 211 Main St. in Ketchum. On Friday, Dec. 7, daredevils will have a chance to test their high-flying skills in Sun Valley’s first Air Bag Jump. Aim your skis or snowboard for a jump that sends you flying above a big air bag to win prizes from Nordica Videography. The bag will be set up on Lower Warm Springs, snow permitting. Contestants can practice all day and do their jump for the camera in the afternoon. The contest repeats on Saturday with winners determined at the Apple’s Party and Nordica Jump Contest Awards at 3:30 p.m. Saturday where slow-mo-

ike Medberry was 44 and in peak physical condition, having just run the arduous 13-mile Race to Robie Creek up and over Aldape Summit near Boise on the day he hiked across the Laidlaw Park kipuka lava near Carey. Some might say he was at the peak of his career, as well, as he was about to meet with Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt in a history-making meeting that would lead to the expansion of Craters of the Moon National Monument by 750,000 acres. All of a sudden, Medberry says, he felt as if he’d been hit in the side of the head by an axe. When he regained consciousness, he was reduced to gurgling like a baby and was confused beyond belief. His right eye, which he had smashed on the lava when he fell, felt huge, “like the monstrous eye of a cyclops.” His right leg wouldn’t work and his right arm was limp and his face felt like it had been hatcheted in two. Worst of all, his colleagues, who had made the trip with him, had wandered off. They didn’t know he’d been felled by a stroke. Would they find him before death took him? Eventually, they did, which was why Medberry—then public lands director for the Idaho Conservation League—was able to pen “On the Dark Side of the Moon.” The book details his 12-year journey to recovery, even as it interweaves his love for the rugged remote Craters of the Moon. Medberry will offer a free reading and book signing at 6 p.m. Thursday at The Commu-

A Smith Optics Film Festival will be held at Ketchum Town Square across from Atkinsons’ Market from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Saturday night. Snow lovers are encouraged to gather around the fire pits while watching videos of powder skiing dating back to 1967. Prize drawings will be held for Smith gear. The evening will conclude with Whiskey’s Rock the Night Away from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Whiskey Jacques, 251 N. Main St., Ketchum. And the entire event will conclude with live music and breakfast from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at Starbucks.

It was such a unique experience I wanted to write about it. And the process of writing about it helped me to heal,” he said. “People are blown away that I had a stroke at such a young age. But I want people to know that this happened to me and that it can happen to you, too. It should not have happened to me—I could have taken preventative measures, like taking aspirin. And people can help prevent it from happening to them, as well, by monitoring their cholesterol— that sort of thing.” The writing of the book was a struggle for a man who described the pieces of his brain as a “blizzard of blowing pages ripped from a book.” He couldn’t remember his name for a month. He looked at a toothbrush and wondered what he was supposed to do with it. But the writing helped him put the pieces together. And so did return trips to the Craters where he watched the land recover from wildfire, even as he recovered from the wildfire that had swept through his brain. In fact, Medberry’s stroke led him to appreciate the land that he had been delegated with protecting more than ever. “When I went out after my stroke, I had a lot of time to think. I found value in the silence and solitude. And in that I came to recognize just how much value wild country has. And I came to realize more than ever that the wild country needs tws protection,” he said.

Jon rated this movie
BY JONATHAN KANE
Dark Side of the Moon BY KAREN BOSSICK
movie review
December 5, 2012
his is a sort of two-part review. Of course, it is about Ang Lee’s sumptuous new movie The Life of Pi but I also must digress to talk about the 3D process, which I was witnessing for the first time. Many critics have said that this incredibly beautiful movie is the best use of the technology to date. For me, it was a mixed bag; some sequences were incredible while many failed to live up to expectations. I guess I was expecting a form of virtual reality where instead many of the images seemed to be in flat levels reminiscent of 1930’s cartoons where the back level would slide by to simulate motion. In fact, the biggest surprises came during a trailer for Sam Raimi’s new movie, Oz, which had the audience gasping. On to the movie itself. Based faithfully on the best-selling novel by Canadian Yann Martel, it tells of a teenage Indian boy set adrift after losing his family in a violent storm on their way to Canada from India with a boatload of zoo animals. Left to survive for 227 days in a 26-foot lifeboat the boy’s only companion is a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. For the life of me I couldn’t understand how this was done, only to find out that it was obviously computer-generated effects. But what an effect! Never a fan of CGI, it has never been used to greater effect, as you would swear the tiger was real. Extremely wild, the boy learns to survive without being its lunch and, inevitably, to be its master. Of course, you know he’s going to survive because the movie is narrated by his adult self to a Canadian writer who eventually becomes the novel’s author. Playing the boy is Suraj Sharma in a superb performance. Reminiscent of Tom Hanks in Cast Away, the story is presented in his eyes, and his struggle to survive is beautifully portrayed. Almost at the door of death, the boy and the tiger wash ashore on a beautifully mysterious island populated by thousands of meerkats. It’s here that Lee’s incredible visuals pay huge dividends. Finally, after leaving the island, salvation is found and the boy says goodbye to the tiger that he believes has saved his life. But is the story real? That is the question that the film leaves you with and it’s up to the audience to decide. But whether or not you believe it, you have taken an incredible journey yourself, and for that your investment of time tws will be well worth it.

Festival of Trees Postponed ‘til 2013
Due to new kitchen construction, including a juice bar, chef office remodel and other construction not yet completed, along with the difficult economy, the Senior Connection has decided not to hold the Festival of Trees this year but will continue the Festival in 2013. They are heartbroken about canceling the event this year because it has become such a tradition with so many here in the Valley. Because of the cancellation, they will not receive the funds so desperately needed to operate our Meals on Wheels program and our new Alzheimer’s Connection Club day program.

MG! Both ski boots and their fitting have come a long way in 30 years. Back in 1982 the state-of-the-art was narrow boots with firm custom footbeds combined with foam injected liners that formed a close seal around the feet and ankles. While this sounded like an ideal way to link our feet to our skis it was far from perfect. The “ski-boot-cast” proved a dependable source of pain. Skiers being a tough bunch, pain was considered a small price to pay for better performance. Of course we eventually learned that the Performance of the ski-boot-cast was even worse than the pain it inflicted. Skiing is a balance sport and as anyone who has ever stood on one foot knows most balance adjustments are done by the foot and ankle. With casted ankles the job moved to the knee. No contest, mobile feet and ankles provide better balance. So ski boot fitters began to relax the cast. Footbeds grew softer so our feet would be more mobile in ski boots. Balance improved, racer times improved and skiing joyfully progressed. Next, boots became roomier in certain areas so our ankles could roll deeper into turns permitting the higher edge angles needed to deal with the greater forces of shaped skis. Race times edged downward again. Instructors could be heard advising students to “ski with your ankles.” This progress worked best for those with the innate ankle alignment ski boots are designed to accommodate. For the rest of us true comfort and performance remained as elusive as Saturday morning powder on Baldy. Then came ALINE (ā-line) Truly revolutionary, ALINE footbeds permit your body to find it’s natural alignment, suspending your feet and ankles in the alignment ski boots expect, making the boots more comfortable. At the same time ALINE footbeds actually increase the mobility of the feet creating a better balanced and more adaptive connection to the boots and ski. Last season Sturtevants Mountain Outfitters began introducing hundreds of alpine and nordic skiers to the benefits of affordable ALINE footbeds. While ALINE footbeds may not be suitable for everyone, it takes only a few moments on the ALINER device at Sturtevants Ketchum and Warm Springs stores to determine your compatibility and a few moments more to have them installed. Upon slipping your feet into your boots your most likely response will be, “Oh My God!”

to completion, including choosing the music and costumes and rehearsing the dancers. Alberta has been part of the Footlight studios since she was four years old and a Company member for six years. She plans to major in dance next year as she begins her college experience. Alberta has been inspired by her mother, Footlight faculty member Michele Minailo. “Community outreach is an opportunity for our dancers to share their talents and compassion for the arts with as many people as possible,” says director Hilarie Neely. “The students look forward each holiday season to dancing for our community seniors.” There will be holiday tap and ballet pieces presented that are sure to get your spirits soaring.

ailey artist Katharine Sheldon is at it again. Just months after painting a mural for Glow Live Food CafÊ, she’s created a Christmas mural sure to delight youngsters and adults alike. The mural, commissioned by a local condo owner, is located in the Thunder Cloud at Thunder Spring. But it is open to those who wish to stop by and see it, said Sheldon. The three-dimensional mural features Santa, Rudolph, an elf and a woodsman pulling a sleigh

with a rope that attaches to the painting of the sleigh on the wall. There’s even an Abominable Snowman peering over it all. Sheldon painted the scene based on the “Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer� TV special where Yukon Cornelius chases
the Abominable Snowman and folk singer Burl Ives contributes several tunes. The mural is in the hallway in front of Unit 29, which is on the north side of the Thunder Cloud residence nearest Zenergy. tws

rt students from Wood River High School are hosting a fundraiser to benefit Camp Rainbow Gold, an American Cancer Society program that provides year-round support to children diagnosed with cancer, on Friday, Dec. 14. Students will be selling about 150 original prints that they have been working on for the past four weeks. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to Camp Rainbow Gold. Art teacher Betty Ervin is the driving force behind the fundraiser, leading her studio art class of 29 intermediate and advanced students. Ervin first entertained the idea of hosting a fundraiser last year, with the initial thought of raising awareness about global hunger. However, after speaking with other teachers, Ervin decided to shift her vision to the local level. The fundraiser became part of the community and service unit of the International Baccalaureate program, a worldwide educational foundation that is part of Blaine County School District’s strategic plan. Ervin wanted her students to choose an organization they were passionate about. Students looked at all the non-profits in the Wood River Valley, and then researched, presented, and voted to select their final choice. Student Sydni Morales said she hadn’t thought about using artwork to benefit a cause before. “I think it’s cool because it makes our art have a purpose,� she said. “You’re not just making it and taking it home; it’s helping somebody.� Each student produced at least three prints for the fundraiser. They were able to learn and experiment with different types of prints including glue prints, engravings made with recycled CDs, and monoprints.

Ervin thought the fundraiser would be a fun way for students to experience printmaking. “Prints make great holiday gifts, and it’s a donation to support a good cause,â€? she said. Students were able to propose sketches of whatever images they wanted, and prints range in subject from koi fish and trees to mermaids and fortunetellers. “My ideas come from things that are going on around me,â€? said student Allie Jones. “Art is just being able to make what you want and being able to express yourself‌ for example, putting your emotions and surroundings on paper.â€? Ervin is making sure her students are involved throughout the entire fundraising process. Students have volunteered to play music throughout the event, and they will take a trip to the fundraising site to hang prints and decorate the space with holiday lights. Jason Hosick, camp director for Camp Rainbow Gold, will come to WRHS to speak with the class the week of the fundraiser. The prints will be mounted on a 12-inch-by-16-inch matboard that will easily fit a standard frame size. Each print costs $20; all of the proceeds will benefit Camp Rainbow Gold; and additional donations will be accepted. Ervin says she has seen a positive response from her students and has high expectations to sell every print. “I think it’s awesome. It really shows what you are capable of,â€? said student Caleb Garvin. The fundraiser will take place Friday, Dec. 14 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at 6 W. Carbonate St., in Hailey (across the street from Sturtevants and around the corner from Big Belly Deli).

Un Ballo in Maschera Live This Saturday Join Sun Valley Opera at the Bigwood4 Cinemas in Hailey for a tale of intrigue when Un Ballo in Maschera is performed live in HD from the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The live broadcast begins at 11 a.m. this Saturday, December 8. Accompanied by a thrilling score, Verdi’s vivid characters grapple with life and love, betrayal and death. Director David Alden’s dreamlike setting provides a compelling backdrop for this dramatic story of jealousy and vengeance. Marcelo à lvarez stars as the conflicted king; Sondra Radvanovsky is Amelia, the object of his secret passion; and Dmitri Hvorostovsky is her suspicious husband. Kathleen Kim is the page Oscar, and mezzosoprano powerhouses Dolora Zajick and Stephanie Blythe take turns singing the fortuneteller Ulrica. Fabio Luisi conducts. The libretto is loosely based on an 1833 play, Gustave III, by French playwright Eugène Scribe who wrote
December 5, 2012
about the historical assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden. In order to become the Un ballo in maschera which we know today, Verdi’s opera (and his libretto) was forced to undergo a series of transformations, caused by a combination of censorship regulations in both Naples and Rome, as well as the political situation in France in January 1858. Its U.S. premiere took place on February 11, 1861. Today the opera has become a staple of the repertoire and is now performed frequently. Runtime is four hours. The Met HD: Live from the Metropolitan Opera in New York is presented by Sun Valley Opera and Metropolitan Theatre owners of the Bigwood4 theatre in Haley. Tickets for all MET HD: Live operas are available at the theatre box office at 801 N. Main St., Hailey. Cost is $22 for adults; $20 for seniors and $18 for students.

icole Pratt, Wood River High School senior, excels in many things. Besides being an exceptional figure skater, Pratt is also carrying a 3.8 grade point average, is co-president of the senior class, and has been awarded the Gold Community Service Award for all her involvement in the community. She is, to say the least, quite busy. Being one of the last babies to be born at Moritz Community Hospital, in Sun Valley, Pratt started her skating career at the age of three. “My dad took me to learn [how to skate],� she said, “and I just fell in love [with it]. I made a lot of friends right away and it just came so naturally.� Pratt started her career early when she joined the Sun Valley Ice Shows at the age of four. “My earliest memory was when my Nana made me my first skating dress. It was light pink and sparkly and I’ll never forget when I got to wear it. I just felt so special—like a real skater—and every little girl wants to dress up. To join the ice show you had to be taking lessons and be committed. Most kids stop at six, but because I was so little, I stayed in it till I was nine. It was really awesome because I was surrounded by all my friends and it was just natural going out there. Everybody would go crazy because you couldn’t help but love the little kids. I started lessons at four once I could skate and started competing at five. At first they were here and in Boise, but I started going to Salt Lake City and Jackson Hole at six. It was all pretty basic. I had a program that my coach had choreographed for me and I would try to do it whether I remembered it or not. I immediately loved competing and being in shows. I got to perform for people and I got to be in character and especially I got to show people what I had. I would take my nervousness and use it for energy and would just try my best.� Pratt began winning right off the bat. At ten, she won the Best Showcase Award in Jackson Hole and Sun Valley. “Winning just made me want to do it more,� she said. “I won the Northwest Pacific Regionals when I was twelve, which was a pretty big deal at my level, as I was the best in five states. There are eight levels in skating and you have to perform

in front of judges to attain each level. You take two tests and I was always competing against older girls. There are eight field tests and eight freestyle tests. I recently attained the top level – double gold medalist. It’s been my goal for thirteen years and it was amazing to attain it and it makes my whole skating career a success.� Today, Pratt skates five times a week for an hour and a half each session. She works with her coach, Darlin Baker, who she has been with since the beginning, one day a week. She is also a member of the Sun Valley Figure Skating Club. “After school, I really want to tour with an ice show for a year because I want to travel and to do it while performing would be ideal. For my senior project I am learning show tricks and I’m preparing a video for producers. Also this summer there will be auditions in Sun Valley for Disney On Ice and Carnival Cruises.� In her spare time, Pratt pours herself into community service and was recently awarded the Gold Community Service Award from Wood River for completing 270 hours of service each of the last three years. She has also won the citizenship award every year since sixth grade, which is given by classmates to the person who is a good citizen to the community and to the school. Plus, there are also hours put in as a member of National Honor Society. “A lot of my time goes to my involvement with the Family Career Community Leaders of America Club, which is a leadership program that prepares people for the future. I just try to help out when I can. I’d much rather volunteer than be paid. I just love people and I love helping out and being a part of the community. It just makes me feel really good helping people. It’s good for the soul and it’s really good karma.� tws

Cheers to Eggnog BY MARGOT VAN HORN
H
oliday time is upon us and so I want to share with you this really fabulous eggnog recipe that I have made for many years. I haven’t met anyone yet who doesn’t absolutely rave about it. However, please make sure that you and your guests all drink it in moderation because it’s so good and goes down so easy that it’s easy to guzzle a lot of it without realizing the effects. If you wish to cut down on the hard liquor amounts, please do. It’ll still be good. And, as always, if any of your guests have driven to your fun event and have maybe enjoyed this nog a bit too much, please make sure that the guests have a designated driver to get them home. As a fun aside, did you know that there was an Eggnog Riot that occurred at the United States Military Academy in December 1826? Evidently whiskey was smuggled into the barracks to make eggnog for a Christmas Day party and the incident must have turned into a huge rowdy party because it resulted in the court-martialing of 20 cadets and one enlisted soldier. So there you are; that’s why I call it “Margot’s Lethal Eggnog.” You never can tell what can happen when making and enjoying this!

Margot’s Lethal Eggnog Makes 24 Cups
Ingredients: 1/2 gal. French vanilla ice cream (softened) 1 pt. whipping cream 1 pt. rum (white or dark) 1/2 pt. brandy or bourbon (I use bourbon because it’s less sweet-tasting) Directions: Allow ice cream to soften; this may take up to an hour at room temperature. Whip the whipping cream. In a large punchbowl or any kind of nice holiday container, fold the whipped cream into the ice cream. Add the booze, stir a bit and sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on the top. Around your bowl place your nog cups, a shaker with nutmeg and, of course, a ladle in the bowl. Bon Appètit and, as I said— BEWARE, but enjoy and be safe.

STORY & PHOTOS BY MARGOT VAN HORN
I
‡ MHII#FRS\DQGSULQW EL] ‡ :HVW &UR\ ‡ +DLOH\
had a really wonderful dinner at CK’s the other evening, hosted and cooked by the owner chef himself, Chris Kastner. My meal consisted of one of the best grilled trout I’ve eaten in a very long while ($22). It was accompanied with a lovely Carolina tartar sauce (which I tasted but didn’t use because the trout was so divine) and a side dish of fresh Hagerman corn done just the way I like it—still crunchy to the taste. I had a nice glass of Columbia Valley Tempranillo—you can tell that I don’t adhere to the white/fish wine pairing theory. And for dessert, lovely Simone, Chris’s daughter, brought out her famous Italian panna cotta custard with berry sauce ($7). It took Simone one month to conceive her vision of the just-perfect recipe and it is now a closely guarded secret. It was light and delicious. Aside from my special dining experience, the highlight was speaking with Chris. First I must tell you that Anne Marie, who works at the restaurant, had to tell me that CK’s was “a great place to work.� I believe that because everyone working there has a big smile on their face. Chris started out by telling me that his restaurant is a small family affair and concentrates on their vision of presenting their clientele with the best possible fresh and locally cultivated food. Chris rarely uses any processed products, and actually cans many of the ingredients himself; he makes his own sauerkraut, and freezes fruit for Simone’s homemade sorbets. The Hagerman corn this year was so delicious that he bought a huge amount of it to freeze and can. Chris started out in Steinbeck country—Salinas, Calif. He went to Hartnell Community College and took subjects such
as carpentry—his expertise in which, as a side note, he used in building the interior of CK’s. But food was always on his mind and in Salinas he ate out a lot. He also was exposed to cooking for a lot of potluck dinners his parents participated in. Chris loved Salinas and all of its agriculture. However, mountains were in his soul. So, in 1976, he found himself as a dishwasher for Sun Valley Company. Chris says that going from dishwashing to becoming a prep cook and upward is a natural transition. So before he knew it, he was partnering and cooking in other local restaurants. Finally, he and his family decided to bite the bullet and open their very own eatery. That took place in 2003. Chris has a wonderful collection of cookbooks in his kitchen and he pulled out the one written by Jacques Pepin. Then he told me that he spent two magical days with the master chef whom Chris called “an awesome guy.� What a treat that must have been. Wish I could have been there. Pricing at CK’s for lunch runs from $5 to $12. For dinner, the rates run from $14 to $40. Chris also has a fine collection of wines. So, for a holiday treat, do yourself a favor and experience your very own special dining experience at CK’s. Don’t forget to say that Margot and The Weekly Sun sent you. This once-monthly column features our wonderful Valley restaurants, to which we can easily stroll—sometimes with the help of a bus or car ride—and is therefore called The Walking Gourmet. I hope that it will be a helpful guide for would-be diners as well for all of our fine local eateries. tws

How to Make this a Joyful Holiday BY MARIA MARICICH
E
ven though the holidays are supposed to be a joyous time, they have the tendency to elicit feelings of depression, loneliness and despair, leading to bouts of depression and a sense of feeling utterly overwhelmed by expectations. And it seems everywhere you turn you hear stories about the poor state of the economy. Add to that days of rain affecting our economy and moods further. It could be a challenging time for many of us. By changing your outlook on the holidays and practicing gratefulness, you will find your moods lifted. Look for every little thing you can appreciate— your friends, family, health, the beautiful valley we live in‌ Another way to lift your mood is to give back. It’s amazing how showing your love, consideration and serving others changes your perspective during times of hardship and stress to a more positive one. Here are some tips to replace negativity and depression with inspiration, love, fun and joy: 1) Change you language and your heart will open. Be mindful
and conscious of how you talk to yourself and others. Research has shown that it’s impossible to be fearful and appreciative at the same time. The next time you find yourself in a negative rant, take a step back and shift your thoughts to what you are grateful for and the people you appreciate in your life and let your heart grow. 2) Find a gratitude partner. Find someone to help you keep your thoughts positive and focused and looking at the glass of life as being two-thirds full. Gratefulness is a muscle that needs to be worked. Similar to a workout partner, your gratitude partner is there to keep you in check. 3) Remember those who have been there for you. Taking time to remember those who showed you kindness, acted as a mentor or believed in you will expand your gratitude threshold. You can also write a letter of thanks. Your emotional health is closely tied to your physical health. Here are a few more tips to stay healthy: 1) Keep a healthy schedule and don’t skip out on sleep. It may be easier said than done, but this is important to keep
your immune system and stress hormones balanced. 2) Eat sensibly. Just because it is the holidays doesn’t give you the green light to overindulge in food and alcohol. You can still eat and drink your favorite dishes, desserts and cocktails, just do so in moderation. 3) Start taking supplements to boost your immune system and moods now. L-tryptophan, Vitamin D, B Complex and Omega 3 can help with moods. For the immune system: Vitamin C, echinacea and other immune boosters are quite helpful. Our local health food stores can assist in this. Lower your expectations, take time for yourself, and delegate this holiday season. Give yourself time to relax and savor the season. tws

Alternative Data for Mortgage Lending BY ANA TORRES
I
t is estimated that there may be as many as 70 million Americans that have an underreported credit history or no credit history at all. As a result, it makes it difficult for mainstream lending institutions to underwrite loans on products such as mortgages. Alternative credit data such as rent payments, utility payments and other financial payments could help bring millions of U.S. residents into the mainstream credit system. In recent weeks, CoreLogic, a credit agency, announced the results of a report by CEB TowerGroup titled “Enhanced Credit Data and Scoring: Deeper Insight into Mortgage Applicants.� They found that using alternative data, such as unsecured credit and payday lending, along with property history in consumer credit report analysis, can help increase mortgage lending in a risk-reduced safe manner. Since consumers have changed their debt payment priorities, this makes this new data relevant and helps the lender better assess each applicant and
adjust their credit risk policies as needed. Although the report notes that consumers used to pay mortgages first, some consumers now pay other debts first. Credit card debt and car payments are a higher priority to these consumers as they see it as a way to maintain fluidity in personal financial matters. ‘Traditional credit data and analytics continue to be relevant, but are not sufficient to satisfy the consumer credit reformation of today,� said Craig Focardi, CEB TowerGroup’s senior research director. “As a result of the changes in consumer behavior, lenders cannot revert back to their prior mortgage underwriting policies. Too much damage has already been done to the market, consumers, shareholders and investors.’� By using Mortgage FICO Score Powered by CoreLogic, the report shows that the process of determining risk with new expanded alternative data would allow lenders to approve loan applications that might otherwise be denied using traditional FICO scores. This outcome would help consumers and the market itself,
said Tim Grace, senior vice president of product management at CoreLogic. ‘�In our own analysis, approximately 70 percent of a sample population saw their credit score improve with the FICO Mortgage Score Powered by CoreLogic. A separate analysis of 300,000 mortgage applications found that 3,100 more applicants would receive a qualifying credit score of 700.� The report also found that by using expanded lending criteria, lenders get a more complete loan application and related information will provide greater transparency to mortgage lending and helps reduce risk. In addition, the FICO Mortgage Score Powered by CoreLogic is more accurate, than the prior FICO Score in identifying the riskiest loans, thereby improving lenders ability to discern consumer credit risk. tws

New Exhibition: Crossing Cultures While the idea of race still operates across our nation, the way we think about it has become more complex—less “either/or� and more “all of the above.� A new multidisciplinary project at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts explores the changing role of race, ethnicity and cultural heritage in the 21st century. Four artists, whose backgrounds reflect different combinations of Native American, Asian, European and Mexican heritage, will be featured in Crossing Cultures: Ethnicity in Contemporary America, which opens with a reception at The Center in Ketchum on Friday, December 7.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, Christmas is only a few weeks away, and despite the usual holiday stress of shopping and writing holiday cards, I have an additional problem. For weeks my son has been begging me for a pet. I could handle it if he wanted a puppy or a kitten, but he wants a snake. I told him no way, but he's been working on me. He keeps his room neat, gets A's on his math tests and even takes out the garbage without me asking! I hate the idea of giving him a snake, but his new attitude and hard work is tempting me to reconsider. I'm asking you guys if I should give in because I saw an ad in the classifieds offering free pet snakes. I have to make a decision soon, but I'm worried what will happen if my son looses interest in this thing. I certainly don't want to end up caring for it. Any ideas? Please hurry before my son makes me breakfast in bed and I give in.

found his motivation. Cash: And he's carried it over to his schoolwork, studying to get good grades. With the holidays right around the corner, there's no doubt he's pouring on the good behavior. Carry: Your thinking is correct in that his accomplishments should be recognized, but that doesn't mean you have to give in to getting him a pet snake. Consider another reward for his good deeds, like the latest version of his favorite video game or a trip to the amusement park. Cash: As with any pet, you should think about it seriously before adding one to your family. People often get in the mood
around holidays and give a pet as a gift. However, caring for that pet continues long after the holiday spirit subsides. Carry: Now if your son is truly interested in snakes, don't let your fear prevent you from getting one. It's important to offer encouragement regardless of your concerns. Although snakes are drastically different from a dog or cat, they can be a great experience for you and your son. However, postponing it a few months until after the holidays may be a good idea to see if your son's interest continues. Cash: In the meantime, enjoy his newfound behavior. You never know, you may wake up to the smell of french toast.
Although poisonous snakes are often feared, they are proving to be very valuable creatures. Over a dozen diagnostic tests and drugs are derived from snake venom. Preliminary research has also found that a natural compound from some snake venom may prevent the growth of cancer tumors. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, these compounds can distinguish between healthy cells and the bad cancer cells. This has the potential to ease many of the debilitating side effects that go along with cancer treatment.
Being Unique
Snakes can make great pets, but look at the different species before getting one. For first time owners, experts recommend getting a corn snake, king snake or ball python. These snakes are generally gentle with simpler feeding needs than other species. However, a proper escape-proof enclosure is essential for any snake since these creatures are very persistent at trying to escape. Just remember that like any pet, snakes require commitment. With a life span of up to 20 years or more, you can expect a pet snake to be around for quite a while. •

Reader Humor Major Mixup
I thought growing up with two sisters was a challenge, but it's nothing compared to being a Mom of two boys. My first-born Tommy got a pet snake two years ago when he turned ten. Since I'm not a fan of snakes, he has to keep the 4-foot python in his room. My younger son Jeremy, only six, wanted to keep up with his older brother, so we got him a hamster. Within the first week there was trouble. When I noticed the hamster missing from the cage, I panicked and asked Jeremy if it escaped. I calmed down when he said he knew exactly where it was. However, the panic returned when he added, "He was lonely, so I put him in with Tommy's snake to play." (Thanks to Alicia H.)
