Blaine County Idaho Safe Rides will provide safe rides home with no fee for persons or groups who plan to drink. Safe Rides gives people an option to make informed choices to seek alternatives to impaired driving. The program also helps to change attitudes about impaired driving by creating greater public awareness of the problem. The purpose of Safe Rides is to keep the impaired person physically separated from his or her vehicle. Safe Rides takes no moral stance on drinking alcohol and does not try to solve an alcohol abuser’s larger problems. Everyone benefits from Safe Rides— not just the potential drunk driver, but also every person who may be a victim of that drunk driver. Basically, Safe Rides is just like Aspen’s Tipsy Taxi. Safe Rides programs are currently in place nationwide, including in major cities, for large corporations, on college campuses, for professional sports teams, and in mountain ski towns. Blaine County Safe Rides has made an important contact that has offered her support and guidance, a retired sheriff’s deputy, Ellen Anderson, in Aspen, Colo. Ellen is currently the director of Aspen’s Tipsy Taxi program and the current emergency management coordinator for Pitkin County. Since its inception on December 16, 1983, the Tipsy Taxi has operated without interruption 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Tipsy Taxi’s fundamental philosophy is that there should be a partnership between law enforcement and the community to encourage residents and tourists to make correct choices. The Safe Rides concept uses a grassroots approach to identify the community’s problems and put together a plan to address drinking and driving issues. Safe Rides will include volunteer representation from law enforcement, concerned citizens, a county attorney, and local businesses forming an advisory board. The program will operate with the support of the community through both public and private funding. Blaine County Safe Rides does not intend to involve the current taxi service companies. There are many ways to go about the structure of this program. Locally, Safe Rides would like to have a vehicle and purchase it, if necessary. Also, there is the option of using privately owned vehicles with a driver or using the client’s vehicle at time of pick-up by the designated drivers working in teams of two. There are several ways to implement a Safe Rides program that serves the community’s needs. Local input is encouraged here. The goal of Blaine County Safe Rides is to help convey impaired driving prevention messages to the community and illustrate the number of ways communities can encourage safe and sober driving practices. For more information, please contact Matt Keefe or Krista Gehrke at (208) 309-0385.

Eternity is only a moment W

hen I first arrived in Santa Fe in 1983, it was as if I had just been born; it was love at first sight. This happens to me a lot. For a time, I by: BALI SZABO become a child, and children are our everyday discoverers. One of life’s great moments is that of revelation, when we click with a place, a time, a person or a pet, or a branch of human knowledge, even an item of clothing. On my arrival, I clicked with the Land of Enchantment, like later I would with this Valley. Three decades later, I still visit and stay in touch with New Mexico in a variety of ways—its geography, its light, its foods, its diverse and historically laden culture. I have a friend in Santa Fe (Brad Draper) who lives in a small local enclave at the end of the Old Santa Fe Trail that is now paralleled by I-25. In our younger years we were avid rock art hunters, looking for evidence of past cultures etched in or painted on stone. It’s a good thing we didn’t waste those years being lazy, because today we are hampered by the imposed limits of age. We do what we can, because the fire still burns. Brad recently mounted an exhibit of macro-photographs of orchids from Costa Rica in an in-town gallery—and sold out! That’s a rare feat for photographers. Brad got his start in close-up photography just sitting around. His humble adobe abode has running water issues, so he uses an outhouse put up in the ‘70s. A friend gave him a 30-inch-by-50-inch two-way mirror that became one of the walls, looking out over the sage and chamiso-dotted ochre hills. Crawling out of the sack early in the morning and trudging out to the loo when the temperature is in the 20s in itself becomes one of life’s journeys. Lo and behold, on one of those mornings he had an ‘Oh wow man!’ moment. The moist air in the enclosure condensed on the uninsulated, doublepaned glass into an endless wonder of crystal designs. Like snowflakes, no two were alike, and more complex and fractal than the eye could discern. The more he looked, the more he saw, and

that remains true today. It took a couple of years to get the necessary Nikon bellows and extenders, and to learn the exacting technique of extremely close-focus photography. If it’s below 27 degrees Fahrenheit, Brad sets up the tripod and kills two birds with one stone. Another one of life’s great feelings, available to all, is the morning’s revelation of a new day, one we’ve never quite seen before. The vision is fresh, in total contrast to the night, and we become explorers, our very own Corps of Discovery, of this newly-minted world. Anytime we experience this, we also awaken to ourselves. twp If you have question or comments, contact Bali at this e-mail: hab4nh@aol.com.

His process is inspired by nature. “Most of my materials are simple and easy to find,” said Lee, who burns wood and blackens its growth ring records to highlight contrast. “They’re special to me and gathering them and empowering them is my role—like a conductor in an orchestra.” At first, Lee says, he tried to hide the nails in his work. Now he not only takes care in crafting them into various shapes, but he makes them protrude and shines them, turning rusty bent nails into glittering metallic things of beauty. “His work has a very Zen-like quality, yet there’s so much complexity,” said Reiners. twp

He’s created smooth glowing amber doves and what resembles a half-man, half-penguin out of blown hot sculpted glass in his work titled “Transformation Red-Headed Woodpecker.” His “Garden of Earthly Delights” pieces include a man with an apple core in the hollowed-out area where heart should be. And he’s placed a hand reaching out of a bird’s torso in “Transformation Chickadee.” “Everybody thinks that Ross is the next big glass star,” said Kendall Willey, a spokesperson for the gallery. The exhibition will also feature the work of glass artists Richard Jolley and Rob Snyder, sculptors David Kimball Anderson, Del Webber and Bradon Zebold, and abstract painter Lawrence Fodor. Frederic Boloix, 320 1st Ave. N., will present an exhibition of 14 new paintings by Francoise Gilot that he calls “Symphony in Blue.” Gilot, who wrote two bestsellers— “Life with Picasso” and “Matisse and Picasso: A Friendship in Arts”—has painted a complete series focusing on the very broad palette of blue. Though abstract, viewers will be able to see “The Joy of Sailing” or “The Chinese Vase” in them. “It’s usually very difficult to see depth when showing shapes. But her paintings are extraordinary in that she’s painted so many layers that they do look three-dimensional,” said Boloix. Broschofsky Galleries, 360 East Ave., will present an exhibition titled “Historic Art of the American West”— a selection of works by pioneer artists of the mid 1800s through the turn of the century. The exhibit features the

work of artists who heard the siren call of the West, as well as commissioned participants of organized expeditions hired to provide a visual counterpart to documentaries. Included are works by George Catlin and Karl Bodmer showing the natives in ceremonies and routines of daily life. Also, Albert Bierstadt’s steel-engraved etching of “The Rocky Mountains,” 1866. And a selection of Edward Curtis photographs from “The North American Indian,” taken from 1898 through 1928. Ochi Gallery, 305 Walnut Ave., will have an exhibition of Alison Van Pelt titled “All American”—a gallery of Indian chiefs. It will also have “The Young Collector Show,” which includes paintings of interesting signs, including “Eat Here Not There,” and a series of interesting angles on polar bears. Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Fifth and Washington streets, will host a free talk by artist Charles Lindsay, creator of an alternate universe environment in The Center’s current Cosmic exhibition featuring art inspired by stars and other celestial objects. Lindsay, a part-time Ketchum resident who won a 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship for his work with a unique camera-less process he calls CARBON, created a fantastical world of sights and sounds with a light panel array, focused sound domes and an ultraviolet-activated sculpture. He will speak at 6 p.m. Kneeland Gallery, 271 1st Ave. N., will present an exhibition titled “Field and Stream.” The exhibition features Robert Moore’s highly textural canvases which border on the abstract, Steven Lee Adams’ tonal landscapes and Andrzej Skorut’s high-finish surfaces. All three artists will be present during Gallery Walk. Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Road, will feature “Six Decades of Photography,” or “Smoke and Mirrors: The Magic of Photography.” The exhibition of contemporary and vintage photography features unique takes on the world from the 1950s to the present by such photographers as Julie Blackmon, Frank Horvat, Nick

Brandt, David Burdeny, Ormond Gigli and Melvin Sokolsky. Gigli, for instance, became famous in the 1950s for his photographs of theatre, celebrities, dance and exotic persona and places. His groundbreaking portraits, which appeared in “Life,” “Time” and other magazines, include Sophia Loren at age 21, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland and many more. Brandt photographs animals in the wild. And Blackmon creates a photograph with a Renaissance perspective through such photographs as “Lost Mitten.” Mountain Images Gallery, which recently had its grand opening at 400 Sun Valley Road, features stunning photographs of Idaho’s wilderness by Ketchum photographer James Bourret. Bourret has taken up residence in a gallery formerly occupied by Ketchum artist Will Caldwell. Caldwell closed his Ketchum gallery after five years to show his ethnic figurative work at Rive Gauche Gallery in Scottsdale, Ariz. He also is showing his Latin dance paintings at the Richard Danskin Gallery in Palm Desert, Calif. Gail Severn Gallery, 400 1st Ave. N., will feature a series of fresco paintings by Marcia Myers titled “Riches of Remembrance.” Myers has been inspired by the ancient Roman mural paintings of the first century and the Renaissance masters, transforming their ancient techniques with a touch of modernity. SFP Studio, 680 E. Sun Valley Road, will feature “Sacred Spirits: Animals of Africa” through Jan. 30. The unique exhibition includes photographic images on canvas hung by Samburu warrior spears. Toneri Hink Gallery, 400 Sun Valley Road, is featuring new dressers and desks by R.C. Hink that feature legs in cowboy boots. The gallery also features metal giraffes and cool mutts playing saxes and Lynn Toneri’s vintage watercolors of Sun Valley scenes. Saddletree Gallery, 460 Sun Valley Road, will spotlight contemporary Southwest art featuring wild horses juxtaposed against a red background by Kevin W. Bowers. twp

irst, a disclaimer: Jeff Bridges is my favorite actor and the Coen Brothers are my favorite filmmakers. How could their new collaboration, their first since the classic Big Lebowski, be anything but an instant classic? That said, True Grit delivers in spades. The Coen Brothers have tackled almost every genre in the movie realm and this is their first shot at a Western. Their writing is as flawless as ever, but what is so surprising about the film is how straightforward it is. There is none of the flash or technical wizardry that is the

Two macho planets square off. Mars, the Roman god of war, poses a challenge to Saturn, whose equally violent nature is well illustrated in the story about the time he ate his children. Don’t aggravate already tense situations. Instead, anticipate how you can avoid trouble altogether or, if trouble is unavoidable, how you can be a part of the solution. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You put things in a logical order and run your schedule in a way that makes sense. When someone less reasonable seems to be pulling ahead of you, it’s something to note. Maybe there’s a trick here you haven’t tried or an approach that would help your efforts. Learn all you can -- you’re bound for success. AURUS (April 20-May 20). You are an adamant improver, and it shines through in all you do. There doesn’t have to be anything particularly wrong with a situation in order for you to figure out how to make it better. Furthermore, you will find peace in places where it evades others. Share this gift. Many will find comfort in simply being around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are the person who should be at the center of your life. Resist the impulse to put someone else in this position. When you take fantastic care of yourself, you give a gift to others at the same time -- the gift of your best self. And through your example, you will tacitly be giving others permission to do the same. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have lost touch with the things that make you feel good and taken care of. Make a long list. The first items may not be the most exciting, so keep going until you hit on things that you really and truly enjoy. There is time in your week to do at least three of

these items. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Pretend you are not yourself for a minute. You will balance your energy by observing your life from as objective a viewpoint as possible. From a distant place, you will more easily see how you can reduce what is too much and augment what is too little. You’ll leave the week a better person than you were going into it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s been proved that optimists are healthier than pessimists, and that they live longer, too. This is good news for you, since your sign is optimistic by nature. Still, sometimes you have to remind yourself to think on the bright side. Such occasions come up this week. Be vigilant about thinking the best of others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll see the possibility in the moment because you’re awake and looking for it. This is why you feel sorry for the sleepwalkers around you. Supposedly, it’s dangerous to wake them; however, you get the sneaking suspicion that it’s your job to do so. They may not thank you for it, but they’ll never forget you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People are getting in line, and something in you wants to stake out a spot. It may suddenly feel as though you have to fight for what’s yours, but it’s only human nature to react in this way. Just be sure you really want what they want enough to brave the crowd for it, or you’ll be wasting your time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When your view of a situation is very narrow, things appear impossibly complicated. The answer is not to make a move at all until you learn more. Knowledge is like light: The more you can shed on your scene the

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It seems like a certain friend has it made -- things often seem that way from the outside. It’s doubtful that you would actually be having a better time with that person’s particular set of problems, so thinking you would is simply a waste of time. By the end of the week, you’ll find an empowering perspective. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Be mindful of how you spend time with others. Remember that it’s rude to interrupt real-life conversations to text a remote party. Furthermore, faceto-face contact with a few people will benefit your emotional health and well-being significantly more than thousands of “friends� on a social networking site. THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You will be seen as the very important person you are. Realizing that you deserve the best, you’ll select the finest available attire, surroundings and relationships. Next month, you’ll give more than you planned in a relationship, and you’ll receive more, too. In February, you’ll travel in order to make money. May brings healing to your family. You’ll react quickly to opportunity and create exciting circumstances in July. New friends in October entice you on an adventure. twp

Hollitz’s bus trips for theatre goers By KAREN BOSSICK

P

eggy Hollitz is greasing the road to “Grease.� The longtime Sun Valley travel agent is organizing bus trips to Boise to see five performances at The Morrison Center, including “Grease.� All trips will include roundtrip bus transportation by Sun Valley Stages, a theater ticket and dinner. The itinerary will also allow extra time for theater-goers to go shopping at the mall, visit an art museum or even take advantage of a tour of the refurbished Capitol Building, courtesy of local Rep. Wendy Jaquet. Patrons will be transported to the extracurricular venue of their choice. “I recently returned to Sun Valley after living in New York

for a few years and people have been asking if I was going to do the bus tours like the one I did for 80 people to see Pavarotti again,� said Hollitz, owner of Sawtooth Mountain Travel for 30-plus years. “The trips are so easy because everything is done for you. And we have coffee and nibbles on the way so it’s very relaxing.� The itinerary includes “Grease� on Jan. 15; “Legally Blonde,� Feb. 9; “Fiddler on the Roof,� March 9; and “Wicked� and “Mamma Mia� in June. All the performances are performed by a Broadway tour company. The package for “Grease� costs $160 per person—less for student discounts.

Avoiding Skier’s thumb Can you say green and snow removal in with two simple steps the same sentence? By Kristin Biggins, OTR/L CHT

L

ive more lightly in snow season through your snow removal choices. Radiantly heated driveways can be eco-friendly if “off” is the default setting. Snow doesn’t fall 24/7, so turn the system “on” before each storm. Roofline ice melting strips can be unplugged all but a few months each year. It isn’t rocket science that shoveling produces the least air and noise pollution of the driveway methods. A snow shovel also removes that base layer of snow that otherwise turns to ice, which no snow blower or plow does effectively. Shoveling is good exercise (and there’s no drive to the gym), and the hard work is eased by an ergonomic handle. The effective and entertaining SnoWovel has

a bicycle-like wheel behind the blade; you push the snow, then lever the handle to dump the load. If even that is too physical, hire a neighborhood kid to shovel and give that economic segment a little boost while staying green. Most commercial melting products are bad for pets and plants; salt is worse. Sand is hard on storm drains and while woodstove ashes or kitty litter work, they get tracked indoors. Some ice melters claim to be non-toxic… but the flower beds along my driveway aren’t going to be the test case. Where’s that shovel? Got a question or want to draft your own ERCbeat?

Did You Know… News on Hamlin and O’Gara By KAREN BOSSICK

D

id you know? Alex Hamlin, son of Ned and Cindy Hamlin, has always celebrated his birthday on the shortest day of the year. This year he celebrated a birthday that seemed to linger forever as he experienced it on

the longest day of the year in Santiago, Chile, where he is teaching English. Did you know? Jennifer Sengelmann surprised her mother, Vickie O’Gara, and other members of the family on Christmas morning by giving them a copy of her new book for kids. The book, “Discovering the Best Me I Can Be!” is an activity book published by Scholastic Book Clubs. twp

F

rom bluebird days to whiteouts, powder snow to ice, one constant on the mountain or on the trails is variety. These varied conditions and terrain can bring challenges to the avid skier and, as we know, there is an inherent risk in this most popular winter sport. One common injury to the hand is “skier’s thumb,” or ulnar collateral ligament sprain, which accounts for approximately 10 percent of all ski-related injuries. This ligament, which is at the base of the thumb, stabilizes the ulnar aspect of the metacarpal joint. The mechanism of injury is usually the result of a skier falling with the thumb extended or while holding onto a pole. Gripping onto the pole causes the thumb to sustain a force that can strain, sprain, or tear the ligament. There has been a lot of attention given to the design of the pole over the years, without much conclusion. However, there are basically two things to keep in mind that may help avoid this particular injury. One is to not put the hand through the strap before holding onto the pole. Secondly, if possible, let go of the pole before falling. The symptoms of this injury are pain and swelling at the base of the thumb on the radial or inside of the joint. Pain increases with simply moving the thumb

or attempting to hold an object. Sprains are graded depending on the severity, with the worst as a complete tear of the ligament. In addition, a fracture may occur. Minimum treatment includes elevation, ice, and avoidance of activities that may exacerbate the pain. Taping, splinting or ultimate casting may also be options. Finally, if the injury is severe enough, surgical repair may be indicated. Perhaps the biggest message of this column is to encourage one to seek medical attention if there is any question. The physician can determine the best treatment option based on specific tests. We have seen patients in the clinic that did not pursue a consult at the time of injury. They, unfortunately, have pain, weakness and limited function long after the normal period of healing. If the injury requires surgery, there is a window of opportunity of approximately 7 to 10 days for best results. Rehab may be indicated and with proper followup, results are successful and the skier is back to the great outdoors before they know it. To recap: go strapless, drop the pole and, if symptoms dictate, consult with an orthopaedic physician. twp

briefs N.Y. Eve at Sego

Idaho-based band Finn Riggins will be returning to their roots for New Year’s Eve with a fun, rocking, intimate, and all-around hip-hopping performance at Ketchum’s Sego Restaurant and Bar. The three-piece band, who met at the University of Idaho and who relocated for several years afterward to a small cabin in Hailey to work on their music, is made up of Cameron Bouiss, Eric Gilbert and Lisa Simpson. Their music is generally classified as indie rock, but has some undeniably pop notes and is filled with surprising chords, personality, delight and amusement. Be prepared for a good-time rock show this New Year’s Eve as Finn Riggins will start Friday, Jan. 31 at 10:30 p.m. and will keep playing until you stop dancing. Ticket price is $25 and they can be purchased in advance at the restaurant or by calling 928-7878. You can also buy tickets at the door. Sego will also be hosting a special New Year’s Eve dinner, with seating available anytime from 6 to 9 p.m. At $65/person, the pre fixe menu will delight your senses with Sego’s trademark, hand-crafted, housemade, local and delicious cuisine. Call now for reservations and check out their website at www.segorestaurantandbar.com. Sego Restaurant and Bar will also continue their Sego Music Series with two other performances in December. Twin Falls singer/songwriter Ethan Tucker will play at Sego on Wednesday, Dec. 22 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. His music is soulful and mellow, with incredible sounds that vary from blues to reggae to acoustic. On Wednesday, Dec. 29, Boise’s James Orr will play with his solo, acoustic, pedal-looping, multi-instrument show also from 8 p.m.-10 p.m. His eclectic sound will amaze both your eyes and ears as he plays multiple instruments and writes all his own music. In his own words, “I am only one man.” Both shows are free and the Sego family looks forward to seeing you there. Please call Sego Restaurant and Bar (208-928-7878) with questions or for reservations.

ooking for a nutritious, refreshing complement to your holiday fruit punch? Or, simply, a snazzy way to polish off your meal? You’ll find it in Sheila Plowman’s Just Fruit sorbets. The locally-made sorbets contain, well, just fruit, with perhaps a little additional fruit juice for sweetening. “It may not be as sweet as the other sorbets you’ll find in a grocery store, but not everyone wants things overly sweet. Some consumers, like me, don’t want too much sugar in their diet. And I provide a flavor you can’t get otherwise,� said Plowman. Sheila Plowman, a counselor at heart, began concocting sorbet recipes last summer when she found herself underemployed, thanks to a drop in donations to Youth Circle, which helps young people cultivate selfesteem, respect for others and good decision-making skills. “What can I do where I can make a living and give profits back to organizations like Youth Circle?� she asked herself. Plowman decided to make yogurt since her homemade yogurt had long elicited raves from friends. But when she found out a Magic Valley creamery was planning to do just that, she turned to plan B: fruit sorbet. Today, she makes dozens of pints of sorbet in her one-woman sorbet-making factory a few stones’ throw from the Hailey airport. The quest starts with finding top-quality peaches and other fruit from fruit-growing areas like Emmett, Idaho. She grinds the fruit in a grinder, adding a little fruit juice to it. Then she throws it in a mixer where she tests it for sweetness with a hand-held meter. She shovels the sorbet into a pint container with a large spatula, drops the container on the counter to let it settle and adds more sorbet until it’s level with the rim of the container. The flavors Plowman concocts seem endless. There’s Peachy Pear sweetened with apple juice; Straabana made of strawberries, banana and orange juice; Hawaiian Sunset made of pineapple, mango, strawberry and orange juice; and Aloha made of banana, pineapple and apple juice. She makes Zesty Mango Lime with mango, lime juice and lime

ome 80 holiday tables were a little more colorful this year, thanks to an array of pies donated and sold on behalf of the SV5B Swim Team. And the swim team has $2,400 to defray the costs of travel and competition, as a result. Some 80 individuals and businesses donated an array of pies that were almost too beautiful to eat for the inaugural pie auction held last week at Giacobbi Square. Gabriele Meadows concocted a white chocolate éclair pie and the new Bluebird Café, a chocolate pecan pie with orange crust. Doug Streeb of the Sun Valley Company donated an apple-pumpkin pie while swimmer Josie Potts came up with a French lemon curd tart. Iconoclast Books donated a feta goat cheese spinach quiche while Taylor Straley came up with a cranberry curd tart and Johnny G’s Subshack, a chicken pot pie. Kelly Kelly served up a cranberry walnut tart while Louise Pidgeon made a sour cream åpple pie. And Kailey Wilt and Heidi Watanabe made a Boulder Mountain pie with a graham cracker crust, toasted walnuts and bittersweet chocolate topped with flame-toasted homemade marshmallows. The pie would have been called Rocky Road pie in any other town. Co-organizer Heidi Watanabe said the swim team sold every single pie and even fielded a couple inquiries from would-be purchasers after they were all gone. “We will be doing it again next year,” she said. twp

suits.............................from pg 1 into groups, skiing with Sun Valley’s top ski instructors three hours a day, five days a week, during January, February and March. The Suits clicked and so have been skiing together every year since. The group includes Peter Gray, who remembers entertaining Ernest Hemingway at his house when he was a boy; Van Ert, a former heating and air conditioning executive and father of Olympic snowboarder Sondra Van Ert; David Hitchin, a retired professor of strategy; Dick Byerley, a former alfalfa seed salesman; and a host of others, including Jim Chalmers, Slim Sommerville, Bill Carson, Michael Suttor and Roger O’Connell. “Some people ask why someone like myself, who has been skiing for 56 years, would still ski with an instructor,” said Van Ert. “No matter how long you’ve been skiing, you can get into bad habits. If I make a mistake and I’m skiing alone all day, I’m perfecting that error. If I have a ski instructor along, they can look at me and say, ‘Did you notice you’re letting your pole lag?’ ” Skiing together as long as they have, the group has racked up an impressive litany of adventures. One of The Suits, for instance, became separated from the rest of the group when they decided to ski out of bounds off the backside of Baldy into Greenhorn Gulch. The group was just about to call for a helicopter search when a police radio crackled and a searcher informed them the man had been found nurturing a glass of wine at his home in Greenhorn Gulch where he had skied after he lost track of the others. “He was worried about the group. He thought we’d gotten lost,” said Van Ert. With so much mountain to be covered each day, there’s no time for talking about their Lipitor, even though the guys are in their 60s, 70s and—eek—even 80s. But they do stop for hot chocolate halfway through their class every morning, swapping stories around their table in the Seattle Ridge Lodge just like campers around a campfire. “When Bill Carson takes

a fall, it’s monumental,” said Hitchin. “And for years I was his caddy, picking up all his things. I remember following him one time on I-80 and he caught an edge and in a split second was over the edge. I was sure he had bitten it big time. But he yelled up, “Of course I’m all right!” The group hasn’t confined their ski turns to Baldy. They’ve skied Jackson and they’ve gone heli-skiing together in Canada. And when their quads can’t take another turn, they’ve parked their skis long enough to get together with their families for Super Bowl and other parties. “Our wives often have lunch together while we’re skiing,” said Dick Byerley. “Sometimes they even ski together.” But you’ll never see the wives skiing together with the guys. After all, they don’t have the right suits. twp

The Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation (SVSEF) is pleased to announce that Alexandra (Alex) Sundali has accepted the position of development director. Alex brings an extensive background in management and fundraising from her previous professional career (administrator and manager for Hull Family Foundation and Matlock Capital, both based in Chicago with offices in Ketchum) and volunteering on numerous non-profit boards and foundations in the Wood River Valley during her 30 years as a resident. “We are very excited to have Alex on board and working with her to reach the development goals set by the SVSEF board in the next five years,” said Don Wiseman, executive director. Besides her professional background, Alex has been a SVSEF parent for 10 years. Her sons, Taylor and Daniel Sundali, both participated on the SVSEF crosscountry team. Said Alex, “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with the SVSEF Board of Directors and the SVSEF community as the Foundation begins preparing to celebrate 50 years of service to Blaine County’s children.”

Barrels into art

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its Wine Auction fundraiser, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts is inviting artists to submit proposals for artwork made from wine barrels. Proposals are due Feb. 15, 2011. Ten artists will be chosen to execute their projects, which will be displayed in Ketchum in July 2011 and sold to the highest bidders during the Wine Auction, July 21-23, 2011. Proceeds from the Wine Auction allow The Center to continue to offer high-quality, affordable arts programming to the entire Wood River Valley community. The ten artists chosen will each receive $500; one “people’s choice” winner, chosen by popular vote, will receive $1,000. Artwork must use at least one of the barrelheads and one of the hoops, must be portable and must be able to be displayed outside. The Center will supply the barrels. For full details on deadlines and other requirements, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-726-9491.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I consider myself a caring person. I help my elderly neighbor and volunteer at church. Recently, I accepted a job at a non-profit company I found in the classifieds. I don't get paid much, but at least I know that the money I'm not making is going to a good cause, or so I thought. I recently read an article in my newspaper about our company. It turns out that our executive director is making almost three times what he should for an organization of our size. It makes me mad when I think about all of us who work for so little pay while he sits back getting rich. After all, shouldn't that money be going toward those who need help? Our fundraising efforts shouldn't support his new 4BR home! I'm planning on quitting in protest and going to work somewhere else, but I'm worried I could pick the wrong organization again. What should I do?

• • •

Cash: Well I wouldn't make a

donation to that organization. In fact, it sounds like your executive director needs to make a big contribution himself.

Fast Facts Every Dollar Counts

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 12/26/10 ©The Classified Guys®

Carry: Non-profit organizations are a big benefit to society. They help fill the gap between government agencies and public companies, often avoiding much of the red tape. Cash: It's sad to hear that your company is poorly managed, but we are glad to hear that you are willing to dedicate so much of your time to helping others. That's a very admirable trait. Carry: Although most nonprofit charities do a relatively good job of managing their funds, there are some that run-up administrative costs or overpay their executives much like your current company. The unfortunate result is that it leaves less money for the

people they are trying to help. Cash: Since you are now looking for a new company to work for, there is an easy way to check up on non-profit organizations. Each of the 50 states has a charity office that you can contact through your state government office. They will be able to tell you if the organization is properly registered and how it rates on several levels. Carry: With a little research, you can find out how much of a donation actually goes toward the charity and how much goes toward running the operations. That may be time well spent if you're looking to avoid supporting another four-bedroom house.

Your donations, no matter how large or small, make a difference. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there are close to one million public charities in the United States generating tens of billions of dollars to help those in need. And giving has become easier in recent years. In addition to accepting donations by credit or debit card, many charities welcome the donation of boats, cars, homes and other assets that they can sell to help generate money for their cause and offer you the tax break.

Front Lines

Being a celebrity in the public eye can draw a lot of attention, an important feature for charities. A celebrity endorsement helps to raise awareness and stimulate more donations. Fortunately many celebrities are getting involved. Mary Tyler Moore, for example, has been a supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for years, Jennifer Lopez supports the Children's Health Fund and Michael J. Fox works to support Parkinson Research. •

Reader Humor Give 'til It Hurts

It's no surprise that a church survives upon the generosity of the congregation. As the accountant, I'm the one who keeps tabs on how much money is being donated. I went on vacation for two weeks, but upon my return I noticed that Sunday donations increased dramatically. I was so excited that I personally called the minister to let him know. "I have great news," I explained. "I just got back from vacation and found out the donations are up more than 20%. Whatever you have been doing recently, please keep it up!" To my embarrassment he replied, "That is great news, but I was on vacation too!" (Thanks to Donald J.)

N

o Nor’easter at Sun Valley here. But Bald and Dollar mountains could get some nice little touchups over the next few days that would add to an already bounteous snowpack. The entire ski mountain is open, including the Lower Bowls leading to by: Karen the Cold Bossick Springs lift. And the mountain department even began grooming Christmas on Saturday, although it could use a little more snow covering, thanks to winds that blew much of the snow on Christmas away at the beginning of the season.

Off the slopes… Dave Keiski says he’s about to begin grooming the trails around Alturas Lake and Park Creek near Stanley four to five times a week now that Christmas duty as a cabin caretaker has tapered off. The trails to Alturas Lake and around the Cabin Creek Loop were rough and rustic on Christmas Day, thanks to ruts and soft snow that taunted skate skis into submarine dives. But that will change with a few more groomings. And Santa is expected to deliver a new roller this week, now that he’s unloaded his sleigh full of iPads and

flat-screen TVs. Murphy’s Bridge, which used to sit along the Harriman Trail, has settled into its new location over Cabin Creek at Alturas Lake. And not a moment too soon—Keiski said the old log bridge couldn’t have made it through one more winter. The placement of the bridge did require some restructuring of the trails, however, so don’t be surprised if you’re a little disconcerted at first. Meanwhile, a Grinch in a big honking yellow road grader stole some holiday cheer the day after Christmas by shoving all that beautiful snow off the northern part of the North Fork Loop

behind the SNRA headquarters. Patroller Cindy Hamlin said the destruction was necessary to fix the water well pump. She hopes trail groomer Eric Rector will be able to repair the damage and get the north part of the loop back up and running by today or Thursday. Conditions remain utterly fabulous at Sun Valley Nordic Center, which is completely open. Ditto for the remainder of the trails maintained by the Blaine County Recreation District, including Billy’s Bridge, which opened last week. There are a few little twigs sticking through Billy’s skate lane. But nothing to worry about. twp
