Gallery Walk Features Kindler, Crumpacker, and Bark Art BY KAREN BOSSICK

un Valley homeowner Anne Crumpacker found a new career at the age of 70. She slipped into it in the process of selling art pieces that she had made to get her MFA in the applied Craft and Design program run jointly by the Portland Northwest College of Art and Oregon College of Art and Craft. Her work is most unusual—bamboo pieces of different sizes cut into cross sections and pieced together. And it can be seen in a new exhibition titled “Enso”—the Japanese word for circle—at Gallery DeNovo, 320 First Ave. The exhibit will be on display when Ketchum galleries stage their monthly Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday. “Deconstructing bamboo into crosscut slices reveals its cellular makeup and illuminates its natural beauty and strength,” says Crumpacker. “Assembling the pieces allows patterns and rhythms to emerge that reflect the interconnection of forces in nature, from microscopic life to wave movement.” Crumpacker’s work can be seen alongside circular-patterned cuts made by Armenian artist Arple Gennetian Najarian. But Najarian’s circles are made from ink, pencil, vellum, paper and thread. “I learned to sew at a young age from my grandmother, and I’ve always had an affinity for the tactile quality of the linear order of sewing,” says Najarian, who lives in New Jersey. “In my quest for clarity, I find myself inspired by materials and objects that I have access to every day.” Harvey Art Projects, 391 1st Ave. N., will show new small works by some of Australia’s most celebrated women bark painters. The work includes sculptures of cockatoos and bark paintings in shadow-box frames. The sculpture originated with a

t’s a nod to the past—a romantic interlude where Sun Valley’s guests could step out of the real world and into a wondrous world, an almost makebelieve world, of Old World confections. Now, The Konditorei is back—restored to its former glory. It and its sidekicks—the Short Line Deli and A La Mode ice cream shop and gourmet hot chocolate bar—are designed to put the fun back into dining out. And, Sun Valley officials hope they will inject new life into Sun Valley Village. “This is going to bring life back into downtown Sun Valley,” said The Konditorei’s general manager John Gasper. “This is going to be where you get your coffee, your pastry. This is going to be where you come back after work and skiing. We’ll have special events—a book reading in A La Mode, an Oktoberfest party. We’ll build the biggest Belgian waffle in the world and put it in the Guinness Book of Records. We’ll have interactive candy-building seminars, workshops on how to build an ice cream sundae… The possibilities are endless.” In true Sun Valley fashion, the transformation took place in just 82 days, noted construction worker Dallas Black. Workers worked through driving rain and snow to gut the old Konditorei, which some say had evolved to resemble an airport coffee shop, and build an Austrianstyle clock tower outside. A couple days before the restaurant was

to open, Rebecca Buchan of Denton House Design Studio in Salt Lake City swept in with 10 assistants, including an art consultant and two holiday décor specialists. They unpacked coffee cups with snowflakes and coat hangers in the shape of stags. They antiqued a replica of an antique Austrian bench that had been made especially for the restaurant and tole-painted flowers on table edges and the ceiling. Buchan said she researched Sun Valley’s Union Pacific railroad history and Austrian heritage as she formulated the interior design scheme. “The Holdings provided the vision and we’re executing it—right down to the dirndl uniforms,” she said. “The Holding family wanted to take The Konditorei back to its roots. They love Austria— they’ve been there many times—and they supplied much of the inspiration for what’s in here. We took a pattern off a dirndl that Mrs. Holding bought back from Austria for the waitress uniforms. And we had a German craftsman replicate various Austrian antiques.”
A
s the interior design team attached antlers to wooden deer, three tables full of waitresses studied piles of notes 3 inches high, learning how to pronounce beers like Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien. “I didn’t know there were so many Austrian and German wines. We’re even learning the history of them,” said Maria del Pilar Delgado Garuero of Peru.
“It’s really interesting because I’ve learned pronunciation of a lot of words and what they mean,” said Hailey Morrison, a Minnesota native. Chef John Murcko, who oversees Sun Valley’s 19 eating establishments, entered carrying a 25-pound briefcase full of his special kitchen knives and a 30-pound “tool kit” containing such kitchen tools as a larding needle, a spaetzle-making tool and hand axes for smacking chicken breasts. A few quick instructions and a couple of staff members were busied peeling 50 pounds of onions and 100 pounds of potatoes, while others prepared chicken stock, polished silverware and folded napkins. Murcko began making Dijon and basil aiolis to use in salads and sandwiches as Derek Gallegos, who started Sun Valley Brewery and threeTENmain, jotted down the recipes. “It’s basically a garlic mayonnaise but it’s so much better than buying mayonnaise by the gallon jug,” said Murcko. He paused. “What a beautiful view of the mountains out this window! I hope no one cuts a finger because they get distracted.” One day before Friday’s soft opening, pastry chef Chris McCarthy started baking at 4 in the morning, filling a 20-foot case with apple strudel slices, sachertorte, florentines, German chocolate cake bombs, poached pear tarts, lemon curd tarts, chocolate espresso bars, lemon

Murphy Comes Out of Retirement For Laughs STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
F
orget retirement! The Murph is back. And he’s full of mirth. Sun Valley’s Funny Guy Mike Murphy is coming out of retirement after just a year of drinking piña coladas on the lawn chaise. There was just too much temptation for a comedian like himself—from the fiscal-cliff Congress to Honey Boo Boo. That’s why he’ll deliver three evenings of après-ski comedy Dec. 27 through 29 at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. He hopes to reprise the show throughout the ski season when there are open dates at the theater. “We had open dates at the theater this Christmas because we took a year off from producing ‘A Christmas Carol.’ So we jumped at the chance to get Mike,” said theater manager Kathy Wygle. Murphy is an institution in Sun Valley, having spun jokes for 34 years at Elevation 6000, The Ram, Creekside and Sun Valley’s Boiler Room. He’s also done gigs around the world, speaking before 400 ranchers in Fresno, winemakers in Seattle and at such diverse corporate gather-
ings as Nike, Anheuser Busch, NASA and Merrill Lynch. He’s appeared with comedians Jerry Seinfeld and the Smothers Brothers and opened for singers Tanya Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Larry Gatlin and Elvis Costello. “Mike does well because he knows how to relate to people,’’ said Ketchum resident Cathy Reinheimer. “He doesn’t leave anyone out. If he slams one group, he slams the other. And he’s likeable. He even looks funny. He’s got a big nose that makes him look like a fox, and that helps.” Murphy doesn’t opine and run—this sharpshooter of comedy has been known to hold the stage two, even four, hours, poking holes in everything held dear to man. His favorite subject matter is relationships. He’s always had a lot of stuff on men and women. Now he has a nine-month old grandson and a second grandchild on the way, thanks to his daughter, Elizabeth Sturges. “So I have a lot of new material on being a grandfather, changing diapers…” he said. Murphy has also culled plenty of new material from reading the newspapers.
A Few Good Men Continue The Good Christmas Vibes STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
–Cathy Reinheimer, Ketchum Resident
“I see they’ve been using all these figures to try to define rich, middle class and poor. I make it simple: If you go to work and your name is on the building, you’re rich. If it’s on the desk, you’re middle-class. If it’s on your shirt, you’re poor.” “At the same time,” he added, “I’ve figured out how economic policy works. It goes: I would like a Ferrari but I can’t afford one so I won’t get one. Those congressmen in Washington, D.C., say, ‘We would all like Ferraris, but we can’t afford them. So we’ll take 535 of the red ones.” Murphy, who throws in a number of songs using his Taylor, Martin and classical guitars, says he can tell within the first few minutes if he has a good sharp audience or if he’s going to have to work at it. His all-time worst audience
was comprised of a bunch of convention-goers in Palm Springs who had spent all day golfing in 103-degree weather. They did their share of drinking to compensate for the heat—but it wasn’t water they were drinking. “I walked out on stage and they were all gone,” he said, nodding his head as if he were sleeping. Murphy doesn’t expect to see a room full of sleeping giants here. “People kept saying, ‘When are you coming back?’ ‘We miss you.’ And I miss entertaining people because people need a good laugh.”
TO KNOW IF YOU GO… Murphy will appear at 6 p.m. Dec. 27 through 29 at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum. Tickets are $15, except for the

Max Mauldin, a member of Wood River High School’s BTones men’s group, was recruited to replace Nathan Kniffen, who went off to college this year. “The whole idea is to keep at least one of the high school kids involved,” said Eagan. “We think people will enjoy the concert. It’s tws very Christmasy.”

Food Fight in the Holy Land PHOTO & STORY BY BALI SZABO

Last Week to See You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown Page 7
Picabo’s Nick Purdy Gets Award for Weather Spotting Page 12
ast week I wrote about a sandwich—and so, American culture. This week the story is about another culture and another sandwich, popular in the Holy Land, appropriate to those who just feasted honoring the birth of Christ. In the spring of 1988, a publisher gave me the chance to join a team of photographers to portray Israel on her 40th birthday. My job was to be the freelancer for two weeks, to just go wherever I felt like going. I was on my dime. I got paid if I got published. I felt like Brer Rabbit in the briar patch. To me, the world’s streets and deserts are home sweet home. Nineteen eighty-eight was no ordinary year in Israel/Palestine. The Palestinians launched their first Intifadah, a resistance of Israeli occupation, by all means available to them. This meant trouble. If you’re a journalist, that’s money in the bank. For me, not so much. Riots and interference from the military just slowed me down. I’ll return to this juicy topic later on. I mention it only because it is context, an unavoidable facet of any portrait of Israel. After having spent the first two days in Jerusalem just getting organized and oriented, it was time to hit the road in a lily-white rental car with Israeli plates. I was headed for the West Bank (of the river Jordan), where they hated all things Israeli. My destination was the capitol of the Negev, Be’er Shiva. I was told not to go because there was nothing there. That’s never true. In this case, there was a weekend Bedouin camel

market. Had to go. The town, maybe the size of Hailey, was a pleasant surprise. What would normally be a dusty backwater was a small, cosmopolitan city. The modern half of the town was antiseptic. The old town, on the other hand, was alive, friendly, colorful and stylish, a welcome relief from the inert modernity of just-poured concrete. After a long day in the heat, I stopped at a café-styled eatery with lots of shaded outside seating. The Gold Star draft beer was served in Grumpy’s-style chilled mugs. Whee! As I perused the food, I saw a vertical roaster. Once in a while, the proprietor, a Moroccan Jew, ran his long slicer down the roast, filled a small shovel with little pieces of shaved meat and loaded a pita pocket with it. An adjacent large salad bar had veggies, spices and condiments to finish. French fries, falafel and fried eggplant were available as
sides. I ordered and devoured the national sandwich, shwarma. As a chef, I asked the owner how it was made. He took me to the back room and showed me the preparation. What I thought was lamb turned out to be turkey thigh, butterflied, seasoned, stacked in layers around an axle, skewered and roasted in that vertical rotary oven. Lamb is much more expensive, and is served as souvlaki, a kabob. When Yasir Arafat spoke at the U.N., he complained that Israel stole the Palestinian national dish, shwarma. Today, shwarma stands are everywhere. Every mom and pop grocery store in the West Bank has one, and in Israel proper, every sizeable town has at least one shwarma stand. It’s Israel’s favorite fast tws food. If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

ow that the weather is cold, people are falling back into the harmful habit of idling their vehicles. Letting your engine run not only damages the environment, but also wastes money you spend on expensive fuel! It’s a fact that idling is not good for your engine. Here’s why: Fuel doesn’t undergo complete combustion when idling, and some fuel residues condense on cylinder walls, damaging spark plugs and the exhaust system. This partial combustion also causes excessive emission of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides. Shutting off and restarting your vehicle is NOT hard on
your engine. Car manufacturers, shipping companies and even the ‘Car Talk guys’ agree that idling is an unnecessary evil. It used to be that cars definitely needed to be warmed up, but this is no longer the case. If you warm up the car a maximum of 30 seconds, the oil circulation through the engine will be sufficient to avoid damage. Idling your vehicle in a school zone makes toxic air for children waiting to be picked up. In Park & Ride areas, please show the same consideration to the folks waiting for buses. When you go to the drive-thru, the post office, or make a quick stop anywhere, make sure you turn off your engine.

Hailey’s Holiday Antique Market STORY & PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK
A couple of the Valley’s antique shows are merging this week to form one giant Hailey Holiday Antique Market. Every room in the Hailey Armory at 701 S. 4th Ave. across from the airport will be stuffed with antiques, including the kitchen and back locker room, as dealers from Alee Marster’s Hailey’s Antique shows and Bill Summers’ antique show combine their efforts. Shopping hours will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. “Bill Summers couldn’t put on his show last Christmas because of health reasons so we decided to combine the shows this year,� said Marsters. “We thought it would be fun to have it between Christmas and New Year’s so that all the people who are in Sun Valley for the holidays can enjoy it. Besides, before Christ-
mas would have been too crazy.� Hailey’s Holiday Antique Market will feature old hickory, fine art, quilts, vintage linens, pottery, cast iron, estate jewelry, furniture, spurs, cowboy boots and hats, guns, Western posters, pedal cars, toys, glassware, military, slot machines, door stops, Victorian napkin rings, farm treasures and more. In addition, Masters has invited local thrift stores, such as The Gold Mine, Barkin’ Basement, The Advocates’ Attic, Episcopal Thrift Store and the Building Material Thrift Store, to provide a few of their antique treasures for a silent auction to benefit those charities. Masters also will provide light hors d’oeuvres and sell wine and beer from 3 to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday to benefit the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley and Hailey’s Souper Suppers. “It should be a great show as we have sellers coming not just
from Idaho but from Utah and elsewhere,� she said.

Making the World a Better Place L BY JONATHAN KANE
ast year Wood River High School senior Dani Theobald had the unique opportunity to travel to India to help children at a special school for orphans and the needy. This year she has planned an ambitious senior project by using art to help raise money for the same school. “It was such an amazing experience being there that I want to help in any way that I can,” she said. With six other Wood River students, Theobald traveled to Ladakh, India, as part of the Compassionate Young Leaders program under the auspices of the Flourish Foundation with the assistance of Ryan Redmond, who has lived in India and has traveled there many times since. “He wanted to show us the country and to spread compassion to other parts of the world. Every week leading up to the trip we would do yoga and meditate on mindfulness. Here, we live in a small valley and everyone doesn’t always get along. A lot of the youth say they can’t wait to get out. In India, it is so different, as everyone is so sweet and positive toward each other.” Theobald added, “It was just such an amazing experience. When I left for the month I was in tears because I had never really been away from my parents but it was hard to come home because I miss the kids I worked with so much. Also Ladakh was so beautiful—almost like the Sun Valley version of India. And the school was amazing as it was started by the Dalai Lama and 90 percent of the funds come from him because all the children are underprivileged.” While there, the students constructed a greenhouse out of plastic bottles, brought the school six computers and created a computer lab and painted a mural. Theobald’s senior project is a fundraiser for the school and will be held on January 5 as part of the Ketchum gallery walk. She has been given a room adjoining the Ochi Gallery in the industrial section where there

will be appetizers served donated from local restaurants and an art exhibit of donated works by fellow students and local artists, followed by a silent auction. “It’s been pretty stressful and nerve-racking but it’s all worth it,” she said. “There will be fifteen artists that will donate two pieces. Some students, like Chase England, are donating additional pieces, and other fellow students involved are Lex Shapiro and Madi Hendrix. Each piece donated will tie into the theme of compassion, inspiration and awareness. I just wanted to raise funds for the school and wasn’t sure how to do it until I settled on the idea of art. It’s hard to say how much we’ll raise because I don’t want to be disappointed so I won’t aim too high. But the cause is great so I hope that people get involved. Right now I’m printing up posters to place around town and I’m hoping to get on the radio and spread the word as well as making it into the newspaper’s calendar of events. It would be such a great thing to see it be a big success.” With Theobald’s drive and inspiration, it is hard to see how it couldn’t be. tws

An Original Book to Ring in the New Year Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out, Mo Yan, 2006, 540 pg., hardback BY MARGOT VAN HORN
F
or the New Year, I’ve decided to introduce a truly marvelous and original book written by the 2012 Nobel Prize laureate, Mo Yan, who hales from China. Yes, indeed, he won the Nobel. He is brilliant, without a doubt. You tell me: What kind of a mind does it take to construct a story around an innocent, gentle, generous farmer who has to go through six reincarnations in order to relate the historical consequences of Mao Zedong’s Land Reform from 1950 to 2000? This is all done through the mouths of a donkey, an ox, a pig, a dog, a monkey and, finally, a large-headed boy. The storyline centers itself around one man—a gentle and generous country farmer who becomes the only “black dot,” which signifies his fight to remain independent, in a country that has now been transformed to all red dots, signifying the new way of communal thinking, including farming. This novel is dark, light and mesmerizing. You meet all sorts of fascinating characters, and even the author inserts himself as one. In fact, that almost makes you wonder if a lot of this is autobiographical. In any case, Yan’s usage of absurd, comical and tragic scenarios with just the right use of colorful vocabulary makes this book a must-read. Luckily, we have Howard Goldblatt, the foremost translator of modern Chinese literature in the West, to have given us the opportunity, here in the Western world, for being able to read this novel, because it’s a hard one to put down. Additionally, it’s a book that makes me want to re-read George Orwell’s Animal Farm again. So, that’s going to be on my agenda soon. Give us your feedback at margot6@mindspring.com tws

I Am From: Valley Kids Speak About Their Heritage in a New Documentary This Friday One after another, the kids look into the camera and recite their heritage: Norwegian, Mexican, Greek, Italian, Peruvian, Native American. They list family traditions and favorite foods and tell treasured family stories as they talk about their hopes for themselves. (See video) Featuring more than 30 Wood River Valley kids from third through 12th grade, I Am From, by filmmakers Jona Frank and Mary Trunk, is a short film with a powerful impact. “We invited Jona and Mary to town to make a film in conjunction with our Crossing Cultures project, which looks
at the increasingly complicated question of ethnic and racial heritage in America,” says Britt Udesen. “What they came up with just floored us—we were amazed by the honesty and poise the kids displayed.” Commissioned by the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, the 14-minute film is being shown continuously at the Crossing Cultures exhibition at The Center, Ketchum, and will also be screened on Friday, Dec. 28 at 6 p.m. during the holiday Gallery Walk. All the featured students and their families have been invited to be present for the screening.

Fools’ Charlie Brown, a Must-See Holiday Romp BY KAREN BOSSICK
H
appiness is… …Watching Snoopy dance at the mere thought of supper… …Watching Schroeder fend off Lucy’s incessant ramblings about getting married to a piano player… …Watching Sally wrestle with her philosophy on life… Above all, happiness is catching the “Peanuts” gang in action as Company of Fools presents “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” America’s beloved cartoon characters come alive as the Fools present a fast-paced romp through vignettes involving all those characters we know as well as our best friends. It takes just minutes before the characters on stage cease being David Janeski, Audra Honaker, Norman Payne and Colin Israel and materialize into the angst-ridden Charlie Brown, the perpetually crabby Lucy, the passion-filled Schroeder and the philosophical, thumb-sucking Linus. Sally, who is usually a mere afterthought in the comics, is particularly engaging in the hands of Ali Thibodeau as she paints a saucy portrait of the little girl with the golden curls, big eyes and an even bigger mouth wrestling with such things as coat-hanger art. And Chris Carwithen has the beagle hero Snoopy’s mannerisms down to a T as he invites frequent chuckles from adults

and children alike. The props are bigger than life and a blast to watch as they enter and exit the stage in a most creative fashion. And Music Director R.L. Rowsey even managed to interject “It Happened in Sun Valley” into the mix of original music. “I can’t imagine anybody doing a better job—they’re so talented,” said Hailey resident Renoir Finizio. “Their gestures are characteristic of the actual characters. And Sally has got an operatic voice.” But, good grief, Charlie Brown, you only have a few more days to catch the play. The show continues through Sunday. Curtain time is 7 p.m. tonight through Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $30 for adults,

Book Signing of Coming Home: The Southern Vernacular House BY KAREN BOSSICK
P
ainted plank walls. Tin roofs and sleeping porches. French doors and Bermuda shutters. Reclaimed planks and beams. Screened porches with swinging daybeds. This is the stuff of the new coffee table book, “Coming Home: The Southern Vernacular House.” Co-author Aaron Daily will sign copies of the book from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Chapter One Bookstore in Ketchum. Daily is a partner at Historical Concepts, an architecture firm based in Atlanta and Peachtree City, Ga., that has designed country houses, mountain retreats and coastal cottages “that pay homage to the South’s deep sense of place” for 30 years. During the event Daily will answer attendees’ questions about how to continue Idaho architectural traditions while designing and building homes that accommodate the needs of today’s 21st century homeowners. At first glance, the coffee table book, with its interiors and exterior from a classic revival home in Beaufort, S.C., waterfront retreats in Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., and rustic cabins and farmhouses in the Blue Ridge Mountains, wouldn’t seem to have much in common with Sun Valley’s mountain lodge tradition. But Historical Concepts has seen an uptick of people building second homes in the Ketchum area, many of whom have expressed interest in designing homes with Southern vernacular

styling. Daily says the book offers insights about blending elements of classical design with Southern charm that can be extended to homes in Sun Valley. “People are drawn to the warmth, comfort and hospitality that the architecture of the South exudes, and they want to capture that feeling in their homes, no matter where they live,” Daily said. “We illustrate this in our book with a house in the Hamptons and several second-home luxury cabins in a mountain community. Clients are now commissioning us to design homes outside the South, which is leading to the application of Southern sensibilities for houses from Montana to Maine tws and Texas to Idaho.”
GALLERY WALK, from page 1 woman who used to be a bark painter but decided she wanted to expand, said gallery representative, Paul Exline. The bark art is made from stringy bark trees, which are a kind of eucalyptus or gum tree, he added. The pieces are the work of the Yolgnu, the indigenous people of the Northern Territory of Australia. Their artistic traditions began 40,000 years ago and their artworks carry forward important kinship relationships and sacred stories of creation, said gallery owner Julie Harvey. Part-time Sun Valley resident Judith Kindler’s new exhibit at Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave. N., was inspired in part by horses that Kindler photographed at local horse shows and Ketchum’s annual Wagon Days parade. Kindler trained in both hunter-jumper and dressage and has a lifelong love of horses They’re part of Judith Kindler’s contemporary interpretation of Salon exhibition style, which she has titled “Notes to Self.” The models are juxtaposed with handwritten notes, as if a part of the journal entries. Her use of the Salon style, which originated in the 1600s, suggests that the issues of today are not that much different from those of the 1700s and 1800s. The Salon style originated with the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, which hung paintings so closely together that some actually sat atop one another so as to fit them all in.

2012: Singles Going Steady BY JAMIE CANFIELD, PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR KSKI 103.7FM
I
n this age of being able to pick and choose songs on digital retail sites, the idea of listening to an entire album may be going the way of the dodo. So this year, in an attempt to keep up with the times, I’m listing my top five songs for 2012. I’m lucky; I get to listen to hundreds of songs a week at KSKI, and some I’ve written about, some I put on the air, and some I file away for personal enjoyment. I could list probably a hundred songs, but I will pare it down to five. 1. “Disparate Youth” - Santigold from Master Of My Make Believe. It’s a dubbed-out wonder with a bassline that makes me sway. Danceable if you dance like I do, but I wouldn’t suggest taking lessons from me. 2. “The Descent” - Bob Mould from Silver Age. Mould’s wall-ofguitars and introspective lyrics put him back on top of the indie scene. I always turn this up to eleven. 3. “Time To Run” - Lord Huron from Lonesome Dreams. From its wind-chimey introduction to the galloping back-beat once it really kicks in, this song just makes me smile from ear to ear. Chamber pop at its best. 4. “Parted Ways” - Heartless Bastards from Arrow. Straightahead bluesy rock with one of the greatest drum fills ever. Sexy without being scary. 5. “The Attic” - Paul Weller from Sonik Kicks. Psychedelic blue-eyed soul as only The Modfather could do. Somewhere Ronnie Lane is smiling and demanding royalties. tws

movie review
The Music of Life BY JONATHAN KANE
G
reat acting is hard to define. But I guess, as the Supreme Court says, ‘You know it when you see it.’ And you will certainly see it in the fine new film A Late Quartet, written and directed expertly by the documentary filmmaker Yaron Zilberman. Zilberman certainly knows how to get a performance out of an actor, and in this movie we have three of the best in Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Catherine Keener. They also get fine support from two actors that I am unfamiliar with – Mark Ivaner and Imogen Poots. Walken especially impresses in this story of a finely tuned string quartet facing their 25th anniversary and an implosion that will alter all their lives. Walken, who has made a rich career of playing psychopaths, really delivers as the cellist and oldest member of the group who discovers he has Parkinson’s disease. Playing a deeply emotional and intelligent musician, his news has a profound effect on the group. Hoffman, the second violinist, expresses his long-suf-
Jon rated this movie
fering wish to move his role from second to first, only to have his wife, Keener, back Ivaner—who has the first chair. Hoffman responds with a one-night stand that implodes their marriage, and their daughter, Poots, has a dalliance with Ivaner. What the film shows, especially to those who have no knowledge of classical music, is that the ego needs to be placed on hold so that the true power of a quartet can exist. Making music is a delicate fusion of passion and technique and its delicacy can be easily destroyed. In A Late Quartet that fusion is decimated and the individuals are left to pick up the pieces. It’s up to Walken, who gives a stirring speech to the audience during the group’s season opening performance of Beethoven’s difficult Opus 131, to tie the film up marvelously. This is a movie that is sweet music to the ears tws and eyes.

Volunteer — It’s Good for Your Health By Brooke Pace McKenna from The Hunger Coalition
When we run yours, you get a $20 gift card to Albertsons!

to your health
ast week, The Weekly Sun published a wonderful special section, called GIVE, highlighting local volunteers and nonprofits. At The Hunger Coalition, we have dozens of regular volunteers who help us out each week and we see the light in their eyes and the spring in their step as they carry bags full of donated food, help to stock our shelves, or load the van full of fresh produce for distribution at our Mobile Food Bank. It turns out that volunteering is not only good for your mental health, providing feelings of pride and satisfaction that come from serving others, but it’s also great for your physical health. The Corporation for National and Community Service, Office of Research and Policy Development, released a lengthy publication called The Health Benefits of Volunteering: A Review of Recent Research. They compiled data from a variety of studies focused on quantifying the effects seen from volunteering, often called the “helper’s high.” Visit their website at nationalservice.
gov to read the entire report. The results in the report are clear: volunteering can lead to a longer, healthier life. Study participants reported higher levels of satisfaction, happiness and self-esteem; a sense of control over their lives; and showed lower levels of depression. Volunteering reduces stress—a sure factor in improved health. Older adults showed the greatest health benefits from volunteering. That’s great news for aging baby boomers, a group that is volunteering at a higher rate than previous older adult generations. Here at The Hunger Coalition, we have an amazing group of volunteers who come from a variety of backgrounds. We are incredibly grateful to these people who choose to provide their time in helping us end hunger in our community. In 2011, we had 150 regular volunteers who contributed over 6,000 hours! They are such an inspiring group; our staff of normally very serious professionals filmed a whimsical thank-you video that can be found on our Facebook page. Many of our volunteers are former or current food recipi-
ents, happy to give back to an organization that helped them through tough times. They work right next to donors, volunteering their time as well as their treasure to see that their neighbors in need are getting the assistance they require. One of the things we feel strongly about is that a healthy, thriving community comes from everyone who lives here being healthy, thriving and contributing community members. Ironically, we are about to enter the time when volunteers seem to drop away but the need from our community is the greatest. Winter can be very tough, with the colder temperatures and decreased job opportunities impacting lives on many levels. It’s time to make those New Year’s resolutions. Why not choose better health this year and dedicate some time to helping others? We have so many organizations that will benefit from your service. Volunteering helps to make our community a better place to live, but the real benefit will come to you. So, cheers to your health and may you have a very happy new year! tws
Purdy Honored by Weather Service BY KAREN BOSSICK
Y
ou don’t have to put yourself in the eye of the storm, as do storm chas-
ers. But the National Weather Service could use a few good weather spotters, says Vernon Preston, warning coordination meteorologist for the NWS in Pocatello. Preston says that weather spotters are as important as radar in helping meteorologists determine when to issue tornado and other warnings. “They can tell us whether a tornado is on the ground, while the radar may be picking up on one rotating in the air,” he said. “We never know what size hail is or whether it’s actually hitting the ground until we hear from a spotter in the field.” Volunteer weather spotters are provided a rain gauge for use during warmer temperatures. They can measure snow by taking an average of readings around their yard or by building a simple snow station with a ruler mounted on a piece of plywood that they brush off after each storm. Weather spotters are also encouraged to report things like hail, tree debris from wind and other unusual events by phone, e-mail, twitter or even phone apps. The Weather Service was established to protect property and lives—there are 500 weatherrelated events each year in the United States, Preston said. And, while Idaho isn’t prone to tornados like the Midwest, the Magic Valley has recorded as many as six tornados in one day. Idaho averages one tornado a year. And, while tornados tend to take place on the Plains, they have been recorded at 11,000feet elevation in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. Each year Idaho averages 11 flash floods, 14 floods related to snowmelt and heavy rain, 144 winter storm warnings, 13 high-wind events with sustained winds of 40 miles per hour or more (particularly in the Magic Valley), 75 red flag warnings and 123 advisories about such things as dust, fog and freezing rain. Filer resident Terry Fletcher, a retired Forest Service employee, says he even weighs the snow that falls. “What we do helps everybody,
Th e W e e k l y S u n •
including agricultural forecasts,” he said. “In the past, most of the weather measurements were taken at airports, which are spaced pretty far apart. The volunteers help to paint a more accurate picture. My buddy, for instance, is eight miles away and often we come up with totally different measurements just in that short distance.” Preston said there are about 200 weather spotters scattered throughout Gooding, Cassia and other Magic Valley counties. There are about 20 in the Wood River Valley.

PURDY HONORED
Picabo rancher Nick Purdy was awarded the 2012 Thomas Jefferson Award for outstanding service for NOAA’s National Weather Service. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration presents the award—the agency’s most prestigious—to only five cooperative weather observers from around the country each year. Purdy has served as a weather spotter for 43 years. Purdy began recording weather and climate observations in 1969, after assuming station duties from his father. He has provided uninterrupted observations of daily precipitation and temperature data, as well as critical storm spotter information. Nick Purdy also received the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program’s second highest award, the John Campanius Holm Award, in 1997. His “flawless and informative observations have been instrumental in providing the National
December 26, 2012
Weather Service with critical weather information,” said Rick Dittmann, meteorologist-incharge at the Weather Forecast Office in Pocatello. Purdy has provided his observations to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Resource Conservation Service to evaluate water supply for the Big and Little Wood River hydrological basins. At the same time, Jack Reily and Luann Swainston of Richfield were honored for serving as weather spotters for 15 years. They are among 60 volunteer weather observers across southeastern Idaho and northern Utah. The National Weather Service’s Cooperative Observer Program has given scientists and researchers continuous observational data since the program’s inception more than a century ago. Today, nearly 11,000 volunteer observers participate in the nationwide program to provide daily reports on temperature, precipitation and other weather factors such as snow depth, river levels, and soil temperature. Long and continuous records provide an accurate picture of a locale’s normal weather, and give climatologists and others a basis for predicting future trends. These data are invaluable for scientists studying floods, droughts, and heat and cold waves. The first extensive network of cooperative stations was set up in the 1890s as a result of an act of Congress establishing the U.S. Weather Bureau. Thomas Jefferson maintained an almost unbroken record of weather observations between 1776 and 1816. John Campanius Holm’s weather records, taken without benefit of instruments in 1644 and 1645, were the earliest known recorded observations in the United States. The Jefferson and Holm awards are named for these weather observation pioneers. tws

Enjoy Some Holiday Bread Pudding More Homemade Eggnog
I
hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Now, run out and get that panettone so that you can make this for your special New Year’s Day breakfast or brunch. Don’t start the year out counting the calories—give yourself the first-dayof-the-year permission to make this delectable dish for you and everyone else to enjoy. Then, go on your diet. Happy, joyous and healthy New Year to one and all! Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce Serves 8 to 10 serving Ingredients: 1-pound loaf panettone bread (crusts trimmed if you wish; however, I don’t do that), cut into 1-inch cubes. 8 eggs 1 1/2 C. whipping cream 2 1/2 C. whole milk 1 1/4 C. sugar Directions for Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 13-by-9-by-2-
inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight. After 2 or more hours, remove dish from frige and bring up to room temp. Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. (Remember, we are at altitude, so possibly a bit longer.) Cool slightly. Ingredients for Amaretto Sauce: 1/2 C. whipping cream 1/2 C. whole milk 3 Tbsp. sugar 1/4 C. Amaretto or some sort of coffee liqueur 2 tsp. cornstarch Directions for the Amaretto Sauce: Bring the cream, milk and
sugar to a boil in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, STIRRING FREQUENTLY. In a small bowl, mix the Amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, STIRRING CONSTANTLY, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. This sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate and re-warm before serving. End result: Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm Amaretto sauce, serve, and don’t plan for any leftovers.

In the predawn hours of November 2008, Alexander was driven into a coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningitis-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in a coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. His older son advised him to write down everything he could remember about his journey, before he read anything about near-death experiences, physics or cosmology. Six weeks later, he completed his initial recording of

Konditoreiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Konditor Fred Pendl niceties, like a pastry and coffee after school, after skiing,â&#x20AC;? said Pendlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Liz Roquet, who owns Lizzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fresh Coffees. Bill and June Carson were newlyweds when they came to Sun Valley and enjoyed après-ski pastries and coffee at The Konditorei. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a zither playerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Herman Primusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who sat by the fireplace. He could hardly speak English but he could play the zither,â&#x20AC;? recalled June Carson. Once the chairlifts stopped running each day, a line formed outside the patisserie and by 5 p.m. everything was always sold out, Pendl recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were like animals, wanting what we had,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. Dr. Maria Maricich, who spent summers at the ice rink that her father ran, recalls ordering milkshakes served up through a window at The Konditorei. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if it was summer, the place always reminded me of Christmas,â&#x20AC;? said Roquet. Food blogger Greg Patent says he will never forget the time he stopped into Pendlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bakery and was introduced to a round, thin, shortbread-like cookie layered with candied sliced almonds and hazelnuts and coated with a thin layer of bittersweet chocolate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were immediately transported to another world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pastry heaven, Pendlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was it. I had never seen so many artful pastries in my life and knew I was in the presence of a master patissier.â&#x20AC;? tws

hen Poor Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sun Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original Konditoreiâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;opened in 1967, it was headed up by a 24-year-old konditor from Kitzbuhel, Austria. Fred Pendl had apprenticed at age 14 and worked in Kitzbuhel, Holland, Munich and London before venturing across the ocean to take over the fledgling Austrian pastry shop in the tiny Sun Valley village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother had a cookbook about cakes and I asked her, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who makes that stuff?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A konditor,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? recalled Pendl, who lives in Hailey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up serving three years as an apprentice.â&#x20AC;? Pendl was recommended for the Sun Valley position by a former friend from Kitzbuhel, who was among a cadre of Austrian ski instructors at Sun Valley. Enroute to Sun Valley, Pendl was given a blank check with which he bought $29,500 worth of kitchen equipment in a warehouse in Chicago. In Sun Valley, Pendl introduced Americans used to chicken fried steak and cheeseburgers to warm apple strudel, which many ate for breakfast, along with sachertorte, nussknackers, florentines, linzertorte and chocolate rolls. Austrians are still as nuts about pastries as Americans are about hot dogs and hamburgers, said Pendl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Austrian tradition of cakes and pastries is still so strong. They always seem to have time for the little

OLD WORLD, NEW TASTE, from page 1 blackberry petite gateau bars, almond and chocolate croissants, cupcakes, fresh fruit muffins and so much more. As the operation kicks into full gear, McCarthy said, he’ll start baking at 3, even 2, in the morning. “My aunt tells me all the time about Fred Pendl, the original konditor and about his florentines,” said McCarthy, who grew up here but has worked in Las Vegas, Florida and Georgia. “We’ll be changing things and doing different things for the Roundhouse and other restaurants so there’ll always be something new.” The 2,800-square-foot kitchen in the new patisserie eclipses the 1,500-square-foot seating space since it will serve as the bakery for the entire resort. It’s designed as an exhibition kitchen—part is in view of diners so they can watch bakers finish the pastries. “Occasionally, we’ll bring hot samples out of the oven… be more interactive that way,” said McCarthy.” There’s more gratitude when you see the smiles on the faces of people.” Next door, Esta Hornstein bagged olives and nuts for the new Short Line New York-style deli that will feature sandwiches with names like “The Express” and “Conductor.” The store will feature caviar, kosher hot dogs, and lox and bagels from New York. The restaurant’s new barristas huddled around a coffee machine as they tried making a High-Speed Quad—four shots of espresso with the Konditorei’s homemade chocolate whipped cream made from a chocolate ganache. “I saw how passionate people are about coffee in this town and knew we had to have something like this for them,” said Murcko. Outside, dozens of people stopped, pressing their noses up against the windows trying to get glimpses of the new restaurant. A few ventured in despite a sign saying the patisserie was closed for training. And all left with a couple of pastries—Sun Valley’s gift to them. “It’s all about first impressions. And, as you walk in, you see a runway that takes you straight to the pastry case,” said ski instructor Brook Lephart. “Amazing marble countertops. I feel as if I’ve walked into another country,” said a visitor from San Francisco. On Friday Sun Valley resident Joann Boswell was headed to Gretchen’s for lunch when she saw people going into the Konditorei. She stuck her head in and was immediately ushered into a seat. There was no ordering off a menu—this was a soft opening designed to give cooks and waitresses experience serving food. But no one would go away hungry, as smiling waitresses brought out sample after sample for those who’d dropped in to try. Butternut squash bisque accented with sweet sundried tomatoes and savory Gorgonzola cheese… smoked chicken spaetzle with pancetta, artichoke spinach and emmentaler cheese… bratwurst served on pretzel bread… rindsuppe beef soup made out of cabbage, potatoes and sausages… “Today’s about getting people to stop in and look at the menu. We hit the gas real slow and don’t floor it until we make sure everything is ready,” said Gasper, who followed Murcko to Sun Valley from Park City. “We stop serving when the chef decides to.” As guests ate, Provo, Utah, yodeler Kerry Christensen played background music using an accordion and a zither—a stringed instrument from Austria that embodies the sounds of a harp, Hawaiian steel and hammer

dulcimer. “There’s probably a hundred people in the world who still play the zither—about six to eight in the United States,” said Christensen, who has spent a few years in Austria and will play at The Konditorei through New Year’s. Joann Boswell polished off a chocolate hazelnut confection and sank back on one of the pillows provided at the restaurant. “Oh Lordy,” she said, a huge smile enveloping her face. “It’s so festive and happy. You know what I think: I think we need to get a job here,” chortled Bellevue resident Marilyn Plott. On Saturday, a line had formed outside The Konditorei by 7 made up of people eager to try one of its special German breakfasts, even though the restaurant would not open until 11 that first day. When lunch did begin, the place was abuzz. Mountain climber Lou Whittaker and his wife Ingrid lingered over plates of schnitzel. “This may become my new favorite place to hang out,” said Lou as he watched the hubbub of people flowing into The Konditorei, greeting old friends and exclaiming over the pastry case. “I’m glad to see this restored,” said Sun Valley’s General Manager Tim Silva. “When we used to come to Sun Valley, we would get a condo and the kids, who were about seven then, could ride their bikes here and get hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was a fun family experience and I think this will be, too.” The one glitch, if there was one, was that the dirndls were nowhere in evidence. The Long Island factory charged with making them was flooded for a

week during Hurricane Sandy and the dirndls had yet to materialize. But Gasper, his eyes darting all over the room, had no trouble keeping an eye on his waitresses. He motioned to a large table where a flock of them had descended with plates. “It’s really a ballet—all the plates delivered simultaneously,” he said. “We don’t want to bring in plates one or two at a time. We want the waitresses bringing in food at the same time and dropping them simultaneously so all the plates hit the table at exactly the same time. Boom!” At 2, Murcko welcomed Sun Valley owner Carol Holding for her first look inside the new restaurant. “There’s no greater thrill than opening a new restaurant. I love the creative side and the excitement of developing and I love the opening,” he said, tired but happy. “We had people who have been part of this restaurant for three generations telling us how glad they were to see what we’ve done with it. And there’s no greater thrill than when you touch people like that.” tws

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, My co-worker and I worked along side each other for three years. Over that time, we became friends and I got to know her quite well. Although she is a very nice person, she has always had a terrible work ethic, commonly coming in late and making mistakes throughout the day. Her track record finally caught up with her. A few weeks ago she was let go for poor job performance. Now she is looking for a new job and is answering ads in the classifieds. As part of her job search, she asked if I would be a reference for her. My problem is I agree with her employer. Although she's a nice person, she is a terrible employee. If someone should call, I'm not comfortable with lying about her abilities. However, I also know she needs the money and the job. Any suggestions on what I should do if the phone rings on this matter?

your friend. However, if she does have some bad habits that inhibit her job performance, maybe she needs someone to tell her the truth so she can improve. Cash: It's also possible that your friend didn't enjoy her previous position or it didn't match her strongest skills. That is often enough to keep employees from performing to the best of their abilities. Maybe finding a new position that she truly enjoys will improve her proficiency. Carry: As for being a reference for your friend, you have to be honest. The only thing worse than lying to your friend would be giving a lousy recommendation to her potential employer. You'd be a
much better friend by telling her that you're not comfortable with being a reference. Cash: As an alternative, you could still help her job search by offering a letter of recommendation. Writing a letter would allow you to collect your thoughts and offer a brief summary of her positive traits. If she was working by your side for two years, you must have noticed some positive points. Carry: Putting your thoughts on paper allows you to avoid talking with employers, yet still offers your friend some assistance in finding a new job. Cash: With any luck, your friend will find a new job and take you out to dinner as a thank you.
"References available upon request." This is standard language at the bottom of most resumes. However, if you're going to use the phrase, be prepared with quality references. In today's professional world, you need people who can attest to your work ethic, offer examples of your professional accomplishments and present you in a positive light. Let your references know about your goals and who may contact them. Prepare them by giving them a copy of your resume and after you land that new job, be sure to thank them for their efforts.

If you're faced with the harsh reality of being fired, remember to stay positive. While it's easy to dwell on the "woe is me", it's much more important to focus on your future.

I own a local auto parts store and am always in need of good counter help. Last time I advertised, one gentleman named Jimmy applied. He was very nice, had a great knowledge of cars and seemed eager for a fulltime job. As I ran through his application, I noticed his work experience had a few gaps so I decided to call one of his references. The gentleman told me he remembered Jimmy from years ago. "He was always on his best behavior," he explained. "I knew him for about two years and three months." Rather surprised by his response, I asked him how he could be so definitive on the time frame. "That's easy," he replied. "I was his warden." (Thanks to Frank M.)
