For Lovers & Dreamers PHOTO AND STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK
It started out as a cabin fever reliever—something to fill the nexStage Theatre on a long Presidents’ Day Weekend. Now, February Follies has morphed into a “Cozy Winter Cabaret.” Patty Parsons Tewson, who directs the swinging Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus, has enlisted some of her favorite singers in a cabaret concert to be held at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 15-16, at the nexStage Theatre, 120 S. Main St., Ketchum. “We were emerging from a ‘January Blues’ month in which there was little snow. So we put together an emergency cabaret because we were all bored with no snow. So, of course, it’s snowing now!” Parsons Tewson said. The 90-minute cabaret show will feature baritone Steve Antry, a guest performer from Tulsa, Okla., who has a home in Elkhorn. He will sing a Josh Grogan song, as well as “Rocking in Memphis,” which he says is popular among his audiences in Tulsa. He also will do a duet with Parsons Tewson. Other soloists—most of them from the Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus—will perform hits from the 1950s and ’60s and other standards, including “Where the Boys Are,” “Sincerely,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Goodnight Sweetheart,” “Goody Goody and Tweedlee Dee,” “Send in the Clowns” “How High the Moon” and “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.” Sun Valley Resort’s pianist Joe Fos will play a couple numbers, and pianist Jim Watkinson will accompany the performers. There will be cabaret seating and a no-host bar for wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres.
Kodi Parsons is among those who are likely to offer up a song Friday and Saturday night.
Tickets are $20, available by calling 208.726.9124. “It’s for the lovers and the dreamers,” said Parsons Tewson. “Just some good old-fashioned ski town Presidents’ Day Weekend fun!”

BUCKIN FOR A BY KAREN BOSSICK
K
elly Wardell thought he’d ridden the last of the bucking broncos when he hung up his spurs in
2003. But the four-time National Finals Rodeo cowboy is back in the saddle, so to speak, spurred on by the chance to win a million dollars at RFD-TV’s The AMERICAN March 2 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Rural TV’s The AMERICAN will be the richest one-day rodeo in history with a payout of $2 million. “I’ve been away 10 years but when they came up with that, I couldn’t resist. And, why not? I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in my life, thanks to the mixed martial arts I’ve been doing,” said the soft-spoken Bellevue cowboy. Wardell qualified for the bareback competition—considered one of rodeo’s most grueling events—at Rapid City, S.D., on Nov. 17. The 5-foot-10, 160-pound cowboy spurred his horse out of the chute, his hand holding onto rigging cinched around the half-ton animal’s girth. Then he hung on for eight seconds, his neck getting whiplashed backwards as his boots bounced up in the air—just like in the old days. Now he heads for The AMERICAN semifinals Feb. 22-23 in Mesquite, Texas. At 50, Wardell will be the oldest of the five bareback qualifiers vying for a spot in the March 2 Finals. Fellow qualifier Cimmaron Gerke, who was crowned College National Finals Rodeo bareback riding champion the year Wardell retired, said he considers Wardell his idol. “It’s kind of a unique story that someone who rodeo’d all his life would come out of retirement when he just turned 50. This is huge in a young man’s sport. RFD is using Kelly’s ride for their ads,” said Barb Patterson, Wardell’s
MILLION
partner of 20 years. Wardell broke his dad’s racehorses as a kid growing up near Big Piney, Wyo. Then he followed his dad—five-time world champion bareback rider Ray Wardell— into the rodeo arena. “When you’re riding good and have a good horse, it’s a lot of fun. There’s no drug you can take that gives you the feeling when you make an awesome ride,” said Wardell, who used to compete for as much as $13,000 a night. “But when things go wrong or you get a strong horse pulling away from you and trying to jerk your arm off, there’s a lot of force on your neck and back. Then it’s kind of like having your hand stuck in a vice and getting in a car wreck.” Wardell’s bushy mustache makes him a dead ringer for Tom Selleck, for whom he’s been asked to play a double. In 1997 he was voted the original Coors Fans’ Favorite Cowboy. And he appears on the cover of “American Cowboy’s” February/ March 2014 issue, courtesy of Sun Valley’s cowboy photographer David Stoecklein. In 2001 Wardell was ranked as the best bareback rider in the world heading into the National Finals Rodeo. But after 360 days as America’s No. 1 bareback rider, he lost his chance for the golden ring when he pulled his groin, had his riding arm stepped on and bruised his entire CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 right leg.
He wound up tying for fifth place, pocketing about $4,000 in contrast to the $86,585 his traveling partner Lan LaJeunesse ended up winning along with the 2001 world championship. Still, Wardell came back to win a silver medal at the 2002 Olympics before retiring. “I rode the last 10 years of my career

The Sochi Winter Olympics BY BALI SZABO
C
ompetition began the day before the opening ceremonies. These Games are by far the most expensive ever (over $50 billion). It also has the most events and the most athletes of any Winter Olympic Games. The location is remote; roads and railway lines had to be built. Sochi got new lodging facilities to handle over 200,000 people for the next two weeks. Venues had to be built for most of the events. Fortunately, the talk of terrorism and gay rights has died down, so the focus can shift to the athletes. Thursday, skater Jeremy Abbot started things off for the U.S. by once again failing and falling on the international stage. He competed in the Team Skating mens’ short program, the first time a team event has been held. Ten teams compete in all the figure skating categories. The top five move on to the medal round, which features the long programs. The U.S. had the depth to overcome the seventh-place start. As advertised, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who attend the University of Michigan, placed first in the Ice Dance, with a beautiful, flawless performance. They danced to ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ from My Fair Lady. Canadian Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, friends of Davis and White, placed second. This international event featured songs from the Great American Songbook, like ‘Putting On The Ritz,’ ‘Dream A Little Dream Of Me’ and ‘I Want to Be Loved By You.’ Call me sentimental. Hope for the U.S now rested on Ashley Wagner in the ladies’ short program. She barely made the team. Her routine was good enough for fourth, but the night belonged to 15-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya who combined great jumps, spins with grace, flexibility, speed, style and artistry to finish well ahead of everyone else. Then came Italy’s Carolina Kostner, skating last.
She nailed her elements, but her atmospheric, flowing looseness and outstanding dancing ability turned heads and eliminated France from the top five. Russia, Canada, the U.S., Japan and Italy moved on to Sunday’s team medal round. Not much changed. Evgeny Plushchenko won the mens’ skate, Yulia outpointed an excellent Gracie Gold of the U.S., and Davis and White won the Ice Dance with their typical technical and artistic perfection. Yulia has become the favorite for gold. The mens’ slopestyle snowboard competition started with the absence of Shaun White, and a handicapped Mark McMorris of Canada, the favorite, who had broken ribs. This sport invites looseness and last-minute improvisation. That was in evident as gumchewing Sage Katsenburg of Park City, Utah, took the gold, with the heroic McMorris third. This was the first gold medal for the U.S. and the Games, and it took a miracle. Sage made a last minute decision to go for it on the last jump, and executed a 620 Japan. The arena went crazy. It was totally spice, dude. In the ladies’ freestyle, Hannah Kearney, the most decorated freestyle skier in the Games, got a disappointing (for her) bronze. One mogul got her. The top two spots went to Canadian sisters Chloe Lapointe (silver) and the younger Justine Lapointe. In the womens’ slopestyle, favorite Jamie Anderson of the U.S. was sixth after the first run. In her second run she nailed her big-air jumps that included a 720. Czech Sharka Pancochova cracked her helmet in a hard spill. The U.S had its second gold in a sport we invented. The mens’ downhill was somewhat anticlimactic. Bode Miller, after two great practice runs, was off his line under overcast skies, and didn’t even podium. His rival, Aksel Lund Svindal, of Norway, got the bronze, which for him is a consolation prize. Austria’s Matthias Mayer got the gold. Stay tuned, for there’s more to come. tws
ystic Eagle Adventures is about to hold its first ‘bush crafts’ skills trip just north of Ketchum Feb.21-23. Leader John deLorenzo will use Smiley Creek Lodge as a base. Outdoor survival classes have gotten some bad press of late. Some outfitters confused character building with sadism. As a British officer in East Africa once said, ‘Any fool can be uncomfortable.’ John’s emphasis will be to teach survival skills: What to do if your stove fails. How to make chaga tea. Erecting shelters and snow caves. Building fires, tracking, and bowand-arrow making; and using old techniques, tools and tricks fur trappers, Lewis and Clark and Native Americans might have used. What woods are good for a bow? John, a very experienced outdoors skills teacher, mentioned Osage orange, yew, chokecherry, willow and wild rose. He’ll teach you what to do if your hands get too cold in subzero weather. How to erase muscle cramps during a snowshoe trek. Or how to snare a squirrel with an eagle feather. He will be accompanied by his friend J.M. Amoedo from the Yukon. He’s an expert bowyer and sword/knife maker. He also knows medieval martial arts and competes in the annual world championships in Spain. Sounds like a fun Olympic event. He wears the appropriate attire for the joust, like armor and chain mail. These two guys alone are worth the price of admission. See the ad for contact details.

he three-day Hagerman Bird Festival will make its debut this weekend. But don’t bother dusting off your binoculars—the classes and outings sold out as soon as the word spread, surprising even its organizers. The festival was the brainchild of Mary Austin Crofts, former Blaine County Recreation District director and now the coordinator for the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. She got the idea after visiting Hagerman and seeing the tens of thousands of beautiful birds in the fall of 2012. She called the chamber president in Hagerman and offered to put together a feasibility study with the idea it would increase awareness and preservation of the birds and their habitat and boost Hagerman’s winter economy. He gathered some volunteers and together they made it work. “All of the work to put together the first festival, which will be held on the weekend of the Cornell Lab’s Great Backyard Bird Count, has been done by the volunteers chaired by Delores, or Dee, Smith from Hagerman. They have done an outstanding job! They’re passionate and awesome. And it will be an amazing weekend,” Crofts said. Some local birders, including Poo Wright Pulliam, Larry Barnes, Luke Watkins, and Kathleen Cameron, are helping with the festival, which will include speakers, guided walks, field trips, exhibits, workshops and other educational activities for children and adults. Cameron, for instance, is showing her “Idaho Owls” film. During the winter months the valley, which is on the Pacific Flyway, plays host to hundreds upon thousands of bald eagles, ducks, Canada geese, golden eagles, prairie falcons, northern
harriers, tundra and trumpeter swans, red-tailed hawks, osprey and American kestrels. They flock to the mix of wetlands and upland sage in the sheltered canyon. While many of southern Idaho’s lakes, rivers and ponds freeze over during winter, there’s always plenty of open water as the temperature of the spring water remains in the 50s even in winter. “I’ve counted ducks in the thousands,” said Wright Pulliam. The festival includes a Snake River cruise, a chance to visit special areas normally closed to the public, and an opportunity for birders who are photographers. Festival attendees will also have the opportunity to taste local wines and sample local cheese and partake in a banquet featuring Clear Springs Trout prepared by Chef Kurt Martin. After dinner, birders will share tales of memorable birding moments. Vendors will have nature-related artwork, books, field equipment and attire. The schedule identifies programs especially appropriate for beginners, children and those in wheelchairs. While the festival events are sold out, there’s nothing preventing bird enthusiasts from going to Hagerman and taking a look for themselves. Popular bird-watching places include the Wildlife Management Area where you can watch from the highway rest stop or cruise walking trails. Thousand Springs State Park features a nature preserve. And Banbury Hot Springs, with its natural springs gushing out of the canyon wall, can be reached by taking exit 155 at Wendell. There, visitors can walk an old road.

hloe Davis, a senior at Wood River High School carrying a 3.9 grade point average, has an eye for classics – cars, that is. In particular, she has a love of muscle cars, something that her dad instilled in her at a young age. “I remember that in middle school he was always online looking at cars, so I got really interested and fell in love with their designs. From there I wanted to go into the auto industry as a career and to that end I want to major in mechanical engineering in college. I also have a love of design and I think I can put the two together and produce a car. Interior design has always fascinated me. I’m always focused on it when I’m watching TV and studying appliances and designs of kitchens. My mom and I always go house shopping and it’s always something that I’m aware of more and more.” Why, though, a penchant for muscle cars? “I just love the classics and how their bodies are constructed and their shape. I also love the fact that they were designed for speed and toughness and I really go for that. They are also very sleek and I enjoy looking at that, like my two favorites – the 1970 Chevelle and the 1967 Dodge Challenger. I’d really like to get one when I’m through with college and I plan to save for one.” Davis’s hope is to attend USC or Cal Poly in the fall to study engineering. “Look, I know it’s a male-dominated field, but I like to think outside the box, and it’s fun and exciting to take on the challenge and to be able to express myself.” Her senior project required some engineering when she restored her grandfather’s 1945 Schwinn Cruiser bicycle. “I totally rebuilt it by taking it apart, cleaning the frame and repainting it the original color. I then put on a classic seat and put the whole thing back together. I was really proud of how it turned out.” Davis stays busy at Wood River by being a member of National Honor Society and performs a lot of community service with the Rotary Interact Club. “We help with a variety of projects in the valley. I really love giving back to people and the community. Sometimes we take it for granted all that we have and it really makes me happy to make someone’s day.” She has also been a member of the Student Union for three years and

People have asked me to attend other schools in the valley but I can’t break free. I really enjoy the teachers and how the whole school is set up. They are always willing to help and they go out of their way to see you succeed, which they value over anything else. The school also provides so many options. It gives you a great chance to explore your passions.” You can be sure Davis will follow those passions wherever they may take her. tws

rash buccaneers will patter across the stage of the Wood River High School’s Performing Arts Theater on Saturday, Feb. 22. The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players present Gilbert and Sullivan’s swashbuckling comedy opera “Pirates of Penzance” at 7:30 p.m. that night. The production, with its bumbling bobbies and frolicsome maidens, will be accompanied by a hundred-plus singers and orchestra from Brigham Young University Idaho. The production is part of Sun Valley Opera’s second annual Winter Festival, which also will include a lecture on comic opera led by R.L. Rowsey, a Diva Gala and a concert featuring Broadway and opera hits. “There’s something there for the entire family,” said Sun Valley Opera Director Mary Jo Helmeke. “Young kids will love the story of the pirates. Opera lovers will love Suzanne Vinnik, who is making a name for herself in both opera and jazz. And, of course, we’re so lucky to have R.L., whose résumé is boundless.” The four-day Winter Festival kicks off on Wednesday, Feb. 19, with a free lecture on comic opera by R.L. Rowsey, who wears multiple hats, including that of Company of Fools’ music director, the new director of the Caritas Chorale, director of St. Thomas Playhouse musicals like the upcoming “My Fair Lady,” and the leader of the B-Tones, A Few Good Men and other musical groups in the valley. On Thursday, Feb. 20, a Winter Diva Gala featuring Suzanne Vinnik will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Sun Valley Lodge Dining Room. On Friday, Feb. 21, Sun Valley Opera will present a Broadway and Gilbert & Sullivan Classics Concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. The first half will feature Vinnik, a soprano with a “lighter, brighter, coloratura voice” who sang at the Las Vegas Philharmonic’s opening night gala. Vinnik, who has developed a passion for jazz along with her previous passions for opera and Broadway, has appeared as Gretel, Abigail Williams in “The Crucible,” Musetta in “La Bohéme” and Micaela—Don Jose’s old flame—in “Carmen.” The Gilbert and Sullivan Players will perform hits from a variety of operas during the second half of the program. On Saturday, Feb. 22, The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players, considered the preeminent Gilbert and Sullivan ensemble, will perform “Pirates of Penzance” with 10 principals in period costume. The performance starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Wood River High School Performing Arts Theater
in Hailey. “Pirates” is one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most commonly performed comic operas, along with “The Mikado” and “H.M.S. Pinafore.” It had its official premiere in 1879 on Broadway rather than in Gilbert and Sullivans’ London. The story revolves around 21-year-old Frederic, who has just been released from his apprenticeship with a band of tenderhearted pirates. He falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major General Stanley, and everything would appear to be going swimmingly. But, alas, Frederic discovers that since he was born on Feb. 29, he only has a birthday each leap year, which means—gasp— that he must remain apprenticed to the pirates for another 63 years. His only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him. The play includes the much-parodied tongue-twisting Maj. General’s song, “I am the very model of a modern major-general, I’ve information vegetable, animal and mineral…:” The musical was the beginnings of musical theater as we know it, said Albert Bergeret, artistic director for The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players. “It’s a classic piece of musical theater,” he said. “It’s one of the first parts of the Gilbert and Sullivan cannon. It sort of spawned the whole concept of English-language musical theater combining elements of pop music of the era with the traditions of grand opera.” “Pirates” satirized other genres, jokingly introducing pieces of other operas as if by mistake, offering references to Wagner, Mendelssohn and others, Bergeret added. “Gilbert was a satirist, commenting on human nature and institutions. ‘Pirates’ is overblown in its assessment of human behavior, which makes it recognizable to all generations,” he said. The Gilbert and Sullivan Players were a big hit when they performed a condensed version of “The Mikado” as part of “An Evening of Gilbert and Sullivan” for a sold-out audience in Sun Valley in 2007. The players had to cobble together costumes from things they found at The Gold Mine, including a lamp shade, when their luggage was lost in a snowstorm. That shouldn’t happen this time, said Bergeret: “We go to Rexburg first so we sure as hell better have our costumes by the time we get to you.” tws

GriefShare Bereavement Program Starts Up BY KAREN BOSSICK
L
ast fall’s GriefShare Bereavement Program proved so popular that a second series of the weekly workshops will be offered beginning Thursday, Feb. 20. GriefShare, a nondenominational, Christian-based grief recovery and support program, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. each Thursday for 13 weeks at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood, Warm Springs and Saddle roads in Ketchum. The free program is sponsored by the Church of the Big Wood, Calvary Bible Church and Valley of Peace Lutheran Church, but it is open to anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation. Participants may attend all or part of the series. Free childcare
is available upon request. Those who participated in the last round found it helped them attain a new normal in their lives, said local program coordinator Dennis Hanggi. “People grieve in different ways. Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing after their friends and family have returned to their own daily routines. We had sons, daughters, wives, husbands in the last series—the commonality was that they had lost someone they loved,” he said. Each small group session includes a video on a specific topic of grief presented by nationally respected grief recovery experts with testimonies from individuals who have been through the grieving process. One session, for instance, is titled “Why?” The videos are followed by a
discussion facilitated by volunteers. “People want to know they’re not crazy. American society doesn’t deal with death well. A lot of these people in our groups absolutely hurt. After people stop bringing lasagna and go back to everyday lives, they don’t have any good way to know they’re not alone,” said Hanggi. A workbook and other reference materials are distributed to participants. There are 11,000 of these meetings going on in every state of the nation and even around the world so that someone who is traveling can plug in a ZIP code and get the addresses and meeting times for a group in the area he is visiting, said Hanggi. For information call Hanggi at 208.726.8061 or 720.0296. tws

There are currently only 195 board certified EMS physicians in the nation. “I am excited to be specially trained to offer this level of emergency expertise in our community,” said Dr. Sivertson. “I am truly grateful for the philanthropic investment, including the vision of the Heinz and Argyros families, which makes it possible to offer a level of emergency services that far exceeds what is typically found in a community of our size.” EMS is a medical subspecialty that involves pre-hospital emergency patient care, including initial patient stabilization, treatment, and transport in specially equipped ambulances or helicopters to hospitals. The purpose of EMS subspecialty certification is to standardize physician training and qualifications for EMS practice, improve patient safety and enhance the quality of emergency medical care provided to patients and populations in the pre-hospital environment, and facilitate further integration of pre-hospital patient treatment into the continuum of patient care.

Surefire Ways to Derail A Chromium And Home Mortgage Closing Your Health BY ANA TORRES
T
he housing market is flooded with great deals, and mortgage interest rates are at all-time lows; but if you’re one of the many looking to get a piece of the latest housing deals, you’ll need to be prepared to prove you’re a solid mortgage candidate. Because of the dramatic rise in mortgage delinquencies in previous years, lenders have had to really tighten their belts and scrutinize every applicant. The Loan Quality Initiative requires lenders to keep track of any “changes in borrower circumstances” between the receipt of the mortgage application and closing. During this time frame, any fluctuation in the applicant’s financial situation will raise red flags and possibly ruin the chances of closing. Read on to learn three most common mistakes mortgage applicants make when attempting to acquire a loan to ensure you avoid these slipups. Applying for New Debt (Credit Cards and Auto Loans) Think twice before taking on new debt. It may be tempting to apply for your favorite store’s credit offer and save 20 percent on your purchase, but this small savings can derail your mortgage application process. Mortgage processors are now required to check your credit before closing, so applying for a new credit card or loan while your mortgage appli-
cation is being processed may result in major approval delays. Racking Up Excessive Debt Another big mistake buyers make is accruing excessive credit card debt while in the midst of being approved for a home loan. Though you may be eager to shop and start purchasing furniture to fill your new home with, fight the urge. Charging up credit cards with thousands of dollars’ worth of items, whether it be goodies for your new home, or a vacation, is a surefire way to derail a closing. If the ratio of debt payments to income is too high, the borrower could be turned down for a mortgage. Changing Jobs and Pay Change A change in jobs and/or a change in the way you’re compensated for your work could possibly muck up your chances of getting that mortgage. Lenders need to see a solid history of employment and income. If you just recently started a job in a new field or industry, or if you switched from a steady salaried position to one where primary income comes from commissions or bonuses, lenders may have a hard time classifying you as a good candidate for a home loan. The more stable your position and your income, the more likely you’ll be approved for that loan. Though it’s a bit tougher to qualify for a mortgage, it’s not impossible. Work closely with your mortgage professional to learn more about the mortgage product that best fits your current financial situation.

ave you ever heard of glucose tolerance factor (GTF)? It is a special form of chromium; more specifically, a chromium polynicotinate. Its role in human physiology was discovered in the 1960s. It was demonstrated that it is an important factor in your body’s proper use of insulin and balancing glucose levels in the blood. But the benefits don’t just stop with glucose balance; GTF can also help lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), raise HDL (good cholesterol) and lower triglycerides. So a quick review shows us that GTF chromium lowers high blood sugar and helps with cholesterol management. So what can that have to do with my wrinkles? Blood glucose attaches to proteins in your body. When it attaches to the proteins, it makes them ineffective. It is similar to cooking your meat. The scientific term for this is glycation. Those of you who are diabetic are familiar with this because
that is what the hemoglobin A1c is measuring—just how much sugar is attached to the red blood cell proteins. The higher the number, the more sugar has attached to the protein. This reflects on glucose control over the last 120 days… a kind of average. When it does this, it is mostly irreversible, with the exception of a supplement or two. So when the glycation process affects blood vessels in the skin, there is a reduced elasticity and reduction of blood flow that can make wrinkles worse than they need to be. So Dr. Oz recommends 500mcg capsules to be taken two times daily. I suggest a little less, personally, but studies show most Americans are at least somewhat deficient in GTF chromium. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about this critical mineral. Absolutely do not take GTF chromium if you have hypoglycemia or diabetes without talking to your doctor or pharmacist as it can cause an unsafe drop in blood sugar levels.

Oh, What A Night! BY KAREN BOSSICK
D
on Ciccone wasn’t in on the ground floor with The Four Seasons, even though he was a Jersey boy. But he was there when Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons had their biggest hits. And Ciccone, who also had a run with Tommy James and the Shondells and other hitmakers, will relive some of his memories through song and story Friday when he presents a solo show Friday at the nexStage Theatre in Ketchum. “Don Ciccone: Songs and Stories…From the Life of a Hit Singer/Songwriter” will start at 6 p.m. Friday. There will be cabaret table seating and a no-host bar for wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets cost $35, available at 208.726.9124, and include a glass of complimentary champagne.
Don Ciccone is the one with the beard sans glasses in this picture of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.
Sales of the singer’s CDs will benefit the nexStage Theatre. The evening will feature personal stories about such stars as Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka and Tommy James, and it will include such hit songs as “Younger Girl,” “Mr. Dieingly Sad” and “Oh, What a Night,” said Ciccone. “If you’re looking for beautiful music, interesting stories and fun, you’ll like this,” he said. Ciccone has lived part-time in Sun Valley since marrying his wife Stephanie—a Jersey gal he met 30,000 feet above sea level on a plane more than a year ago. But long before that he was the lead singer for The Critters, which recorded such No. 1 hits as John Sebastian’s “Younger Girl” and Ciccone’s own “Mr. Dieingly Sad.” “Mr Dieingly Sad” was recently voted one of the Top 100 songs of all time. Ciccone had quit college where he was a physics major to be a rock star. But he ended up listening to his hits playing on the radio while he was marching during a four-year stint with the Air Force. When he returned from the Vietnam War, he was considered a has-been, so he resigned himself to writing lead sheets, or music transcriptions, for record companies. One of the writers recommended him to Frankie Valli when he heard one of Valli’s singers was leaving, and overnight Ciccone found himself working as a Four Season. A year later Ciccone sang the lead on the first recording of “Who Loves You”—the group’s first Top 10 hit in five years and the group’s biggest hit ever. “We thought that would never be topped but we did with ‘Oh, What a Night,’ ” Ciccone said. After 10 years as a Four Season, Ciccone retired in 1982,

only to be pressed back into service as a member of Tommy James’ Shondells, who recorded such songs as “Hanky Panky,” “Crimson and Clover,” “I Think We’re Alone Now,” “Digging the Line,” “Mony Mony,” “Mirage,” “Sweet Cherry Wine” and “Crystal Blue Persuasion.” “Tommy and I were neighbors—running partners—in New Jersey,” Ciccone recalled. Being a rock star is not the glamorous lifestyle people think of, he said. Though he jet-setted around the world 305 days a year for 10 years with The Four Seasons, he got to see little of the tourist sites. Typically, he’d participate in a two-hour sound check upon arriving in a city. “By 3 p.m. you want to go back to your hotel to eat and sleep but you can’t. We were so popular that if we left the venue we would never get back to it in time for the show because the traffic heading to the concert would be so bad,” he recalled. “We’d perform two shows a night—and it was work singing, dancing, sweating in those polyester suits. Then we’d go to a press party or cocktail party until 2. Finally, we’d get back to the hotel for three to five hours of sleep before we had to wake at 6:30 to head to the airport.” Frankie Valli, who began singing after his mother took him to see a young Frank Sinatra, was a “genuine guy,” Ciccone said. “He was not the typical lookat-me-I’m-a-star guy. He was a humble celebrity who never forgot his roots on the streets of Newark, N.J. And it was an honor to be one of The Four Seasons. Imagine the quarterback of your favorite football team calling you up and asking if you would like to play with him for the next 10 years. I went overnight from being one of their biggest fans to being part of the team.” He paused, thoughtfully stroking his neatly trimmed white beard. “At first I felt I was riding the coattails of the original Four Seasons. But then we started having our own hits.” Valli’s curse was that he recorded his hits as a falsetto singer so audiences didn’t go for his regular voice, even though it was perfectly fine, Ciccone said. “I liked ‘Candy Girl,’ which contained the highest note he ever sang. Bob Guadio was another reason the group did so well—he had a knack for writing catchy songs with a current message that was supernatural.” Four years ago, Ciccone put together a group called The Hit Men with members of The Four Seasons and other groups that had had hit singles. He quit the group after marrying but created the solo show, “Songs and Stories,” to keep a finger in the business. “This is not about a guy who wants to show how good he can sing,” Ciccone said. “This is an autobiographical show through one man’s life, with its hits and its flops.” “Don Ciccone: Songs and Stories…From the Life of a Hit Singer/Songwriter” will start at 6 p.m. Friday at the NexStage Theatre. There will be cabaret table seating and a no-host bar for wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets cost $35, available at 208.726.9124, and include a glass of complimentary champagne. tws
WARDELL, from page 1
“You’re so mystifyingly glad… I’m Mr. Dieingly Sad,” sings Don Ciccone. The title of the song , which was recently voted among the Top 100 songs of all time, was misspelled on the record label, he said. It should have been “Mr. Dyingly Sad.”
with a broken hip socket in a lot of pain. I was forced to quit. But I feel better now than I ever did,” he said. The reason is mixed martial arts—something Wardell’s been doing ever since he opened the Wild Wild West MMA studio in Hailey’s Woodside neighborhood with his son-in-law Aric Iverson. Wardell teaches kettleball workouts that strengthening core, shoulder and back to the kids he teaches bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding. He does CrossFit-style workouts, spars with a boxer and holds a trophy for the only mixed martial arts fight he entered. Those things, coupled with surgery, have him feeling better than he did in the past 20 years. “We went to the National Finals in Las Vegas and everyone was coming up to him and saying, ‘You look like you never left. What’s your exercise?’ He’s totally dedicated to what he’s doing and he’s totally buff,” said Patterson. Rodeo cowboys didn’t work out back in Wardell’s day, Wardell concedes. “I was gone 250 days a year. I rode 150 bucking horses a year. And I always thought I was in all right shape. But if I hadn’t gotten in shape, I wouldn’t be doing this,” he conceded. “Even with that, I couldn’t do it full time. It’s definitely a young man’s sport. But, to be able to go back and do it again—” tws

Love Story BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH
H
e looked out the window at the rolling hill that led to the driveway of the house. Nothing going on out there this morning. He returned to his breakfast and thought of the last time that he had seen her. He remembered how clean and smart she had looked in her uniform as she had left for work. It seemed like so long ago. He went outside and looked up and down the block. It had snowed last night and the trees and grounds were covered in soft fresh flakes. It was a good day to be alive. It would be better if she was here to share the beauty of the morning with him. That’s what love is all about – a loved one to share the morning with
and the closeness of being a pair. He decided to walk down to the river and check out the die-hard fishermen who came each morning in search of fresh water trout. They always had good stories and he knew most of them fairly well. He greeted them and they all asked about her and when she was coming home. He patiently tried to explain to them that it wouldn’t be long now while he thought to himself, “Why am I even talking to these bozos who felt compelled to search for their breakfast every morning in a trout stream.” But they were harmless and it was good to talk about her with familiar people who knew her, as well. Then, he saw Howard the Fish and Game guy and went over to say hello. Howard asked about her and I assured him that she was well and would be home when she got home. I didn’t know what else to convey as I really didn’t know for sure. It could be any day now I supposed. We turned our attention to the fishermen in the river and laughed quietly as we both knew what was coming next. Every morning, we interrupted the sportsman and asked them for their fishing licenses
and every morning they made a big fuss about digging in their back pockets to show Howard and I their legal certificates. It was great fun and it helped to pass the time and to keep my mind off her. Thank goodness for these men who helped me fill the emptiness in my heart. I spent the rest of the morning going over the grounds with Howard and shared a fish or two with my pals of the river Then, suddenly; he saw her coming down the hill in her vehicle with her arm waving outside. As the men laughed at my reactions, I bolted back toward the house as she was driving into the driveway. She got out of the car door as I rushed into her arms and all was well once more. “My goodness, I’ve only been gone for four hours. Yes, I’m glad to see you, too. Easy now, you crazy dog. You’d think I had been deployed to Afghanistan or something. I was at the grocery and they all asked about you. Are you ready to play some ball?” Now, that’s a love story. Nice talking to you. tws

Will Blackman’s Artwork Cross The Finish Line First? BY KAREN BOSSICK
J
ohn Blackman will likely get a whiplash trying to catch a glimpse of his latest artwork come Thursday. After all, this is moving artwork—on the head of women’s Olympic skeleton competitor Katie Uhlaender who will be riding a sled that could reach 90 miles an hour. Uhlaender asked the interim superintendent of the Blaine County School District to paint an eagle on her helmet after becoming friends with former Sun Valley Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street. Blackman, a former art teacher at Wood River High School, painted several helmets for former ski racer Street, including the one she wore for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. It appears that the design might have some mojo—the Breckenridge, Colo., skeleton competitor was in the top eight in both of her training runs on Monday. Uhlaender turned to Street after she lost her father Ted
Uhlaender, a Major League outfielder for the Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds. Ted Uhlaender died in 2009 of a heart attack. Less than a year later Katie competed in her second Olympics at Vancouver but she finished a disappointing 11th after having finished second in the women’s skeleton World Cup season finale. Simply put, she didn’t want to be there without her dad at her side to encourage her when she started to freak out, panic or doubt herself. A friend introduced her to Street and the two bonded, with Street filling the big hole left in her heart by her father’s death. “She was in a real bad spot, a funky spot,” Street told an Associated Press reporter Monday at the Sanki Sliding Center, moments after giving Uhlaender a pep talk. “I grabbed her and we went for a walk and I asked her, ‘What’s up with you?’ She told me the whole story and told me that her father had passed and how hard of a time she was having. She was confused and I just became a friend to her.”
“I thought she maybe was on a path to self-destruct and I was like, ‘No, dude, we’re going to be all right. We’re going to get through this.’ And that vulnerability, it hit me hard and I just kept real good track of her and stayed right on her.” Uhlaender, who has dyed her hair American flag red, says she now feels healed, whole, healthy, focused and energized, thanks to the help of Street and former Olympic track star Carl Lewis who also stepped in to help. She’ll race on a track where she finished second a year ago. And she’ll wear the 1972 National League championship ring that her dad won with the Cincinnati Reds. The 5-foot-3 Olympian will be face-down on a sled with steel runners, controlling the sled with spikes on her shoes over a mile-long course. All the better to see Blackman’s art! Look for Uhlaender’s high-impact crash helmet as it whizzes by in competition at 11:30 a.m. Thursday. She is also expected to race Friday—and Street will be there tws to cheer her on.

movie review
Right or Wrong BY JONATHAN KANE
T
here is hardly a more contentious issue on the American political landscape than legalized abortion. In the excellent new documentary After Tiller directed by Lana Wilson and Martha Shane we take a serious look at that subject in a way that humanizes the participants and doesn’t strive to change our minds in the political context. But on this subject politics are hard to avoid and the title of the movie refers to Dr. George Tiller who was murdered in his church in 2009 in Wichita, Kansas for performing late term abortions. These are abortions that occur after the 25th week and comprise roughly 1% of all the abortions performed in this country and are only allowed in nine states. They are also highly objectionable to people on both sides of the abortion debate. After Tiller follows the only four doctors in the United States that perform such abortions and all were associates of the late Dr. Tiller. Dr. Susan Robinson and Shelley Sella share a clinic

Jon rated this movie
in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Warren Hern practices in Boulder, Colorado and we follow Dr. LeRoy Carhart’s difficult attempt to relocate his practice to Maryland after Nebraska passes a precedent setting law to limit abortions to 20 weeks. All serve bravely in the face of Dr. Tiller’s fate. The film’s success is in allowing us into the day to day travails of these doctors as they perform what they believe to be a necessary service. We are given a glimpse into the heartbreaking consultations with patients that we never see and who are facing an indescribable predicament. Many are there because of fetal anomalies that doom their child’s life and some are there because their life situations warrant it. Either way their stories are heartbreaking and the actions of the doctors portrayed in the film heroic. tws

• 1. FOR FENNEL PUREE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. • 2. Put the fennel in a roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the oven until soft, about 1 hour. Transfer the cooked fennel to a food processor and purée until smooth. Add the roasted garlic and crème fraîche and purée the mixture once again. Adjust the seasoning and add some water, if necessary. Pass the purée through a sieve to ensure a smooth consistency. Set aside and keep warm. • 3. FOR FENNEL SALAD: With a mandoline, thinly slice the fennel bulbs and put the slices in a medium bowl. Add the mint, orange supremes, and olives. Mix in the orange juice and lemon oil, season with salt, and set aside. • 4. FOR SCALLOPS: Remove the tough muscle from the side of each scallop, if necessary. Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a medium sauté pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, then sear the scallops until golden brown and just opaque, about 1-2 minutes on each side. TO SERVE: Place a portion of the fennel purée in the center of each plate. Top with 4 scallops. Top the scallops with a serving of fennel salad. Drizzle with lemon oil and garnish with fennel fronds.
ere’s your mission: Celebrate Valentine’s Day without breaking your Mother Earth’s heart. Many time-honored Valentine’s gifts are fraught with eco problems. By some estimates, the production of one gold ring results in 20 tons of mine waste. To rest easy, consider vintage or even pawnshop jewelry. Source one-of-a-kind jewelry from local artisans (and you can ask about recycled content of metals and source of diamonds). Anyone can make a card from recycled materials and, luckily, when it comes to Valentine’s Day,
even ugly cards get big points for effort. Give some love to your sweetie’s heart with a gift of dark chocolate, which can help protect us from heart attacks! Organic fair trade chocolates are healthier for your body, the earth and its inhabitants. Make a home-cooked meal for your sweetie, with local foods and organic wines, lit by soy or beeswax candles. Can’t cook? Ask a local restaurant about picking up a special meal in your own dishes. Instead of dinner, go for a ski or snowshoe together, packing a picnic of local bread, cheese and wine, or ski in to a yurt for the ultimate escape. You and your main squeeze can share your love by making a date to help others. Ski with a dog from the Animal Shelter, sort donations at The Gold Mine, or shovel a neighbor’s driveway. Alternatively, give Mother Nature a Valentine with a donation to a local nonprofit in your true love’s name. More Green Community tips at Facebook/ERCSunValley. tws

Fishing R epoRt The “Weekly” Fishing RepoRT FoR FeB. 12Th FRom picaBo angleR
H
ere we go with another week of low pressure! Expect the fishing to just keep getting better and better. Coupled with the cloud cover, the fish should be active and brave. Expect great dry fly activity with big winter midge hatches. These hatches should materialize around 11:00 a.m. and last well into the afternoon. If you’re fishing the Midge, we cannot stress enough the importance of a Trailing Shuck pattern. We’ve written it here before, and we’ll write it again – the Tie Down Midge is a must have when fishing Midge dries. So, why the trailing shuck? It is a simple matter of calorie count. Fish do not want to expend more energy than they are taking in. So when a fish sees a Midge, which is normally buzzing low over the water and rarely sitting still, the fish has to decide if the calorie exchange is worthwhile. Fish will NEVER expend more calories to catch food than they will receive from the food source. So when a fish sees an insect, in this case the Midge that is stuck in its trailing shuck, the fish knows from experience that this Midge will not fly away at the last second and the calories will be achieved. With this knowledge anglers can target surface feeding fish with confidence and a plan. The only down side to the Trailing Shuck Midges are the low profile of the fly which makes it difficult to see. We almost always fish two flies when fishing the midge hatch so that we can use a lead fly that is highly visible. We generally fish this fly on a 9 foot 5X Leader/Tippet set up and then we tie 18 inches of 6X directly into the hook shank and tie the Trailing Shuck Midge to this. “The One Foot Rule” now comes into play. Most of the time an angler can see the more visible fly sitting on the water they can look within a foot of the fly and locate the Trailing Shuck pattern and anticipate a strike. If anglers still can’t see the low profile fly, but they see a fish rise “within a foot” of the obvious pattern, then again Set the Hook! If after all of this, you are still not picking up fish, and if you see their backs rising and not their heads, then simply spit on the Trailing Shuck pattern and fish it subsurface!
Happy Fishing and Hunting Everyone!

ext fall Dolly Levi will weave her mischievous, meddlesome matchmaking spells, courtesy of St. Thomas Playhouse. Last week the top dogs at St. Thomas Playhouse tried to match up their programs and an array of auction and raffle items to would-be sponsors to help put on “Hello Dolly!” and three other productions at the seventh annual Cabaret Girlfriend Luncheon. St. Thomas Playhouse will take “Cool Suit,” which is based on “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” on the road the end of this month. It will tap into the youth of the valley to stage “South Pacific” and “The Jungle Book Kids” June 18 through 21. It will utilize entire families to stage “Hello Dolly!” Oct. 16 through 19. “Participating in a program like this allows kids, parents and grandparents to find things that matter to them,” said R.L. Rowsey, who will direct “Hello Dolly!”. “It offers kids a safe, supportive place that they can articulate things that may ramble inside them. It says to the young: What you do and how you express yourself matters.” Nearly a hundred ladies turned out for the cabaret luncheon featuring Wild Mushroom Canape, Cauliflower Bisque with White Truffle Oil, Roasted Breast of Chicken with a Modern Waldorf Salad of apples, dried cranberries, celery and fennel and Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars prepared by Laura Apshaga at Elkhorn Springs Restaurant. An array of kids and adults who have been part of St. Thomas Playhouse productions in the past paraded across the

Sarah Arters and Drew Morse relived “Tonight” from “West Side Story.” Christine DuFur enchanted the ladies with a song from “Aladdin Jr.” “She has a Broadway voice already,” marveled Becky Smith at the young talent. Rowsey emceed a live auction that included a symphony picnic for eight prepared by Epicureans West and a weekend in Stanley at Reuben and Susan Perrin’s cabin. “I should’ve taken more math,” he quipped as he tried to drive the bids higher. Laurie Ahern and Virginia Johnson bought a cameo role in “Hello Dolly!” for Laurie’s hubby Paul Ahern. And Lisa Patterson, who owns the Wildflower in Hailey, topped the bids for a night on the town involving cruisers furnished by The Elephant’s Perch and drinks, tapas and dessert at Boca, Knob Hill Inn, The Sawtooth Club, Rico’s and The Cellar Pub. “It was the description of the floaty dresses and big hats—and the balmy 75-degree weather—that sold me,” Patterson quipped. tws

Chobani Blocked
Olympian Health Secrets BY KAREN BOSSICK

BY KAREN BOSSICK
I
s the Cold War heating up again? The Russian government said “nyet” to Chobani last week, blocking shipment of 5,000 containers of Chobani yogurt earmarked for American athletes competing at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. They say Americans have not submitted the proper paperwork documenting that health and safety requirements have been met. U.S. officials say the certification required is unreasonable and would be impossible to attain.
Chobani’s officials said they hoped the yogurt would be given diplomatic immunity. Some of the athletes complained that they weren’t getting the nutrition from the high-protein yogurt they’d come to expect. Maybe Russians think the yogurt produced at Twin Falls— the largest manufacturing yogurt plant—has some secret medal-producing formula. Finally, Chobani took a jab at Russia’s anti-gay policy with a tweet showing a rainbow-colored stack of Chobani yogurt containers with a message of diversity and inclusion: “Naturally Powering Everyone.” tws
un Valley’s Hilary Knight, who scored the first goal in the U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team’s 3-1 win over Finland, told “Redbook” magazine that she prevents soreness with Tiger Balm Extra Strength. “My ‘secret sauce’ is Tiger Balm Extra Strength; it’s like a pre-exercise stretch in a jar. Before a workout or game, I rub a dollop over my legs, which keeps my muscles from getting stiff,” said Knight, who also contributed a goal in Team USA’s 9-0 rout of Switzerland. Knight was one of 16 Olympians who offered their health secrets in the article. Ice dancer Meryl Davis says she drinks green tea with lemon juice and a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick that doesn’t weigh down her stomach. Alpine racer Lindsey Vonn said she rolls a stick covered with plastic beads over sore muscles for a quick D.I.Y. massage. And she eats Greek yogurt with almonds, blueberries and pineapple—her perfect blend of protein, fat, carbs and omega-3 fats—before a workout. Bobsledder Jazmine Fenlator says she adds coconut oil to coffee to give her more energy and ward off that mid-morning or afternoon crash. And ski jumper Lindsey Van, who is a pioneer in a sport that officials once claimed was bad for a woman’s uterus, relies on pickle juice for electrolytes. tws
Keeping Your Eye On Local Olympians: It was a Couer d’Alene native— Sage Kotsenburg, who won America’s first gold medal. Kotsenburg, who now lives and trains in Park City, Utah, won his slopestyle medal with a trick called the Holy Crail. Kotsenburg did a helicopter twirl of 4.5 rotations during which he grabbed the back of his snowboard and flexed his legs. You can see Hilary Knight and the U.S. hockey team take on three-time defending Olympic gold medalist Canada today. The puck drop is scheduled for 5:30 a.m. Sun Valley time. And don’t forget to watch Simi Hamilton, who powered his way to a World Cup Stage win Dec. 31 at the Tour de Ski in Switzerland, as he races for the U.S. Nordic ski team. Hamilton, who formerly trained with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation team, was the first American Nordic skier to win a race since February 1983 when Bill Koch won a 30K race in Sarajevo. Koch is the only American Nordic skier so far to have won an Olympic medal—and that in 1976.

Spreading Compassion by Connecting Students and Animals
Contributed by Brooke Bonner, Director of Development & Communications, Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley
W
hen thinking about the big “WHY” behind what we do at the Animal Shelter, we seem to always come back to the theme of spreading compassion. Saving the lives of homeless animals and connecting them with loving people is our method of achieving that larger purpose.
Meet the Valley: Brooke Bonner
Working with wow-students is a perfect match for the Animal Shelter on multiple levels—not only do kids love the Shelter because of how drawn most of them are to animals on what seems to be a truly fundamental level, but by working with us on their wow-student projects, students also learn empathy, compassion, and how their actions can truly make a difference in the lives around them. When working with students, our staff is continually amazed at their capacity to simply respond from the heart. As adults, we are well trained to look at situations skeptically and dispassionately—we are quick to see roadblocks and the reasons something will not work. But when working on their generosity projects, what the students see are infinite possibilities and the way things should be, regardless of how “realistic” it may be. When asked why it is important that our community have an animal shelter, one student responded with what would happen without it. She said, “Well, then there would be stray dogs and cats
I everywhere [BIG hand gesture here] and no one would know whose they are, so the shelter is to keep the dogs and cats safe and have some toys to play with.” Well, yea! When touring the shelter and looking at all the animals in their kennels, one student said,
“It’s breaking my heart—I want to take them all home!” How many of us have had that reaction? Our staff hears from plenty of adults who say they literally avoid the shelter because it makes them too sad. So why do children still flock to it if they experience the same sadness
when facing the plight of homeless animals? Perhaps they see that while it’s not as good as a home, the shelter is still a happy place and they know that they can play an important part in making it even better for the animals. It is truly exciting to be able to participate in this “experiment” with generosity. It may take years to see the full extent of how the children’s lives are affected in the longterm; however, we have no doubt that their experiences with the Animal Shelter through their wow-students projects will continue to inform their interactions with both people and animals, and their view of their place in the world, for years to come.
feel very lucky to have grown up in this community, with its culture of generosity. I was given opportunities early on to participate in youth groups, charitable giving and fundraising, and advocacy efforts with fellow students. These early forays into the world of “doing good” continue to impact my work and life decisions on a daily basis. As an adult, I now see the youth of our valley continuing to passionately engage in volunteer and social change activities—I can only image how they will transform the world as they grow up! While my daily work is focused on social change, it is still the every day actions of individuals that really make the biggest difference in the world. Without every other person who cares and makes choices to improve things around them, my efforts would do little. It is because of the people who care for a sick neighbor, walk a homeless dog, make their voice heard for a clean environment, or engage in the myriad of other daily activities that spread joy and show compassion that make this is a community worth living in and committing to. It is only together that we will truly be able to transform our world for the better. GET TO KNOW ‘EM • GET THEIR STATS!

Journeys From And To Paradise
BY BALI SZABO
T
his valley is a destination, and rightly so. Like so many resorts, it is physically beautiful and gets more than its share of splendid days. We’ve built on that physical eye candy to the point where there are 101 things to do here in paradise. Unlike with a woman, the valley’s inner beauty is umbilically connected to its outer attractiveness, to the nature that surrounds us. We do not have a monopoly on enchantment; we just own a good chunk of it. The State of Idaho has the rest. The 102nd thing to do in the valley is to leave it, to venture south of Timmerman Hill saddle. This has two immediate consequences. One, it makes us appreciate home all the more. The other is that we find splendor elsewhere, often when and where we least expect it. The world is seeded with jewels. In mid-December, I headed for northern New Mexico (increasingly the Land of dis-Enchantment) to spend the few weeks around Christmas amid snow, red rock, adobe and Christmas lanterns (fajolitos). Once past Timmerman, I saw a distant bank of low-lying white mist, something I had seen in 2012, on my way to Denver. It felt like a scene from a sci-fi movie called The Mist, where a coastal Maine town is enveloped by a malevolent bank of fog rolling in from Casco Bay. I was heading into an inversion—a layer of heavy Arctic air that traps and cools warmer air near the ground—which then condenses as hoarfrost
that covers everything, every branch and blade of grass. Because the sun can’t break through, the frost remains all day. Nearing Shoshone, I drove into a silver world. On this day, the Magic Valley was indeed that. Usually, this is just a narrow strip, maybe 10 to 15 miles wide. I couldn’t outrun this one. The world had become whitewashed, clad in Mormon white. From I-84 in Utah, the Wasatch Range to the east was barely visible. The frost covering was spotty except around still-unfrozen rivers. The Bear Valley was totally frosted over. To my surprise, I never ran out of this milkiness. Along with the Arctic air—one of several waves of a polar vortex—this white presence extended down into the Moab area. On the 7th of January, I drove to Twin Falls for a medical procedure on my eye, and the inversion was there again. Every tree in Twin was white. The extensive tree-scaping of the CSI campus was an academic Shangri-la. Two days later, on the way home, my new and improved eye was greeted with a gift. The hoarfrost had accumulated for three days and now weighed on everything. The black basalt around the Ice Caves was poetically accented with silver sage and bunchgrass, tall and proud in its newfound garb. I drove home in a crawl because there were little miracles everywhere. In spite of its manmade troubles, the world was precious again. tws
Chairs crashed to the ground during the Flying Squirrel fire.
Flying Squirrel Fire Ruled Accidental PHOTO AND STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK
A
malfunction in a working snowmaking compressor oil cooler caused the fire that destroyed the Flying Squirrel ski lift building shortly after midnight on Feb. 1.
The subsequent release of a large amount of compressor oil intensified the fire, resulting in catastrophic structural failure of the snowmaking portion of the east end of the building. And the ensuing wind-driven fire eventually destroyed the top lift terminal and the communications building at the west end of the structure, said Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle. Elle and an independent expert fire-cause/origin investigator spent hours analyzing damaged equipment and debris at the scene. They concluded their investigation on Thursday, Feb. 6. “The fire was accidental,” said Elle. The fire short-circuited cellphone coverage for those in the Warm Springs area and an area north of Ketchum. Cellular service providers are working to provide temporary cellular service systems. tws

B
ud Purdy has hunted ducks with Ernest Hemingway. He opened his ranch to Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck and Jimmy Stewart. And, though his home is on the range, Purdy has flown his Piper 235 Cherokee plane well into his mid-90s. This past month he was inducted into Idaho’s Hall of Fame—an honor that pays homage to his business savvy and community involvement. “I thought it was quite an honor. They got a pretty good bunch of people there,” said Purdy, who turned 96 on Jan. 2. Purdy first set foot on the Kilpatrick family K-K sheep ranch in Picabo in the summer of 1928 at the age of 10. He and his brother got paid 10 cents a load to spread manure in the hay fields. He bought the sheep ranch in the mid-1950s, focusing on the
cattle side of the business while his sister and brother handled the sheep. Over the years, he has focused on range management techniques, including rest-rotation grazing. And he donated a 3,500-acre conservation easement valued at $7 million to The Nature Conservancy, ensuring that critical habitat along the beautiful Silver Creek will not be subdivided and will be subject to spraying restrictions. He also has served in many leadership roles, including that as president of the Idaho Cattle Association, chairman of the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry and chairman of the University of Idaho Foundation. Over the years, he and his son Nick have launched Silver Creek Irrigation, selling irrigation equipment to local farmers. And, they’re proud owners of the Silver Creek Convenience Store in Picabo, which is part store and restaurant and part museum.
“You have to have something in your background to call attention to you. I enjoyed being on the University of Idaho Foundation and on the other boards. Right now, though, I’m trying to get my leg swelling under control. It’s laid me up a bit but I’m looking to get out in my pickup and look at the fences and cattle. I’m only semi-retired, you know,” Purdy said. The Idaho Hall of Fame, created in 1985, also honored Greg Carr, a part-time Sun Valley resident who has worked on conservation projects in Africa; former legislator and community activist Mary Lou Reed of Kootenai County; and Indian Jackson Sundown of Nez Perce County. It also honored Lighthouse Salad Dressings, of Bonner County, as a business. Past inductees from Blaine County include Pete Cenarrusa, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound and Picabo Street. tws

And whatever you might think, no two pianos play alike. “One famous pianist, William Kapell, felt he should apologize to the audience because the first 15 minutes involve getting adjusted to a new piano, a new hall, a new audience,” Rose told an audience Saturday night at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood. If Rose had any trouble getting adjusted to Susan Spellius Gannon’s Steinway transported from her Elkhorn home, he didn’t show it during the Sun Valley Artist Series concert. He treated the audience to magnificent performances of Johannes Brahams’ “Rhapsodie in E Flat Major,” Franz Schubert’s “Sonata in G Major” and three numbers by Frederic Chopin, including Chopin’s “Polonaise Fantasie.” His hands were frequently a blur. His profile, which resembled that of a bald eagle, was commanding; his artistry, precise; his temperament, stern, yet sometimes playful.
“You’ve got to make the instrument do what you want it to do,” he said, flatly. Hailed as “the last Romantic of our own age,” Rose debuted with the San Francisco Orchestra at age 15—he said he still knows the piece he played them by heart. “One of the nice things about learning piano is it stays with you,” he said. Sixteen years ago he founded the International Keyboard Institute and Festival held every summer in New York City. The festival is now considered one of the most amazing piano festivals in the world, according to Gannon, artistic director of the Sun Valley Artist Series. The Sun Valley Artist Series will debut its own piano festival April 11 through 13 and it will try to emulate that one by focusing on the great history and tradition of piano, she added. Next up: Young cellist David Requiro, who won the 2008 Naumburg International Violoncello competition, will perform with pianist Solon Gordon at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 13 at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood.

Ian Frazier:
Eyes Open Wide BY KAREN BOSSICK
P
ut aside your preconceptions and travel with your eyes wide open, trying to see anew. That’s the advice travel writer Ian Frazier gave a near-capacity crowd at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ lecture series Thursday night at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood. Frazier told the crowd that he always looks out the window while flying, even it all he sees is clouds. “You hear about hydrofracking but you don’t know what it looks like until you look out a plane—the well heads look like hundreds of tiny electrodes,” he said. “You can see wind farms along the Columbia Gorge and I was just in Minot, N.D., where you could see the flames from flaring gas sites leaping high in the air above the prairie.” Frazier enthralled the crowd with a handful of short readings, including one called “Lamentations of the Father: Laws Concerning Food and Drink.” “When you chew your food, keep your mouth closed until you have swallowed and do not open it to show your brother or your sister what is within; I say to you, do not so, even if your brother or your sister has done the same to you… And though the pieces of broccoli are very like small trees, do not stand them upright to make a forest, because we do not do that, that is why…
“If you receive a portion of fish from which every piece of herbal seasoning has not been scraped off, and the herbal seasoning is loathsome to you and steeped in vileness, again I say, refrain from screaming. Though the vileness overwhelm you and cause you a faint, until death, make not that sound from within your throat…” Frazier told the audience that Americans are a restless people who love to move on. “There’s something really hopeful about moving—something exciting and alluring. Even animals like to move,” he said, describing how even seals in New York’s harbor have been spotted crossing the road in New York City. Two mountain lions were killed in Chicago, he added. Being in a country where you don’t know the language is interesting, he digressed. “It teaches you what it’s like to be a dog. All you hear is, ‘Blah, blah, blah—Ian—blah, blah, blah.” Next up: New York Times food writer Mark Bittman, author of “Food Matters” and “How to Cook Everything.” He will speak at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at the Church of the Big Wood in Ketchum. Tickets are $25 for Sun Valley Center for the Arts members and $35 for nonmembers, available at sunvalleycenter.org or by calling 208.726.9491.
BRIEF
Zions Bank To Sponsor The Sheep Folklife Fair During The 18Th Annual Trailing Of The Sheep Festival October 9-12, 2014 Zions Bank has announced it will continue its support of the annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival held each year in the Wood River Valley of Idaho. The 18th annual event will be held Thursday, October 9 through Sunday, October 12, 2014. This year, Zions Bank will be the naming sponsor for the popular Sheep Folklife Fair on Saturday, October 11, 2014, in Hailey, Idaho. The Festival is named One of the Top Ten Fall Festivals in the World by MSN Travel, received the Governor’s Award for Cultural Tourism and is honored as One of the Top 100 Festivals in North America. THIS YEAR– CELEBRATING GENERATIONS In 2014, the Trailing of the Sheep Festival is beginning a three-year project called “Celebrating Generations.” In 2014, we will be honoring the visionaries, many who are still working on the ranch. These are our ‘elders’ who have stories we need to hear and capture. The Hot Club of Cowtown was such a hit, we have agreed to bring them back to Sun Valley for the 2014 Sheepherder’s Ball. They are a hot jazz/western swing band that is currently touring in London and the U.K. The group has a huge following in the west especially with fans of the Western Folklife Center’s Cowboy Poetry Gathering. The 2014 Festival will also feature expanded and unique multicultural experiences, beautiful woolen creations, Basque, Scottish, Peruvian and Polish musicians, dancers and storytellers, culinary events at each main venue, the Sheep Tales Gathering – focusing on Storytelling, an expanded Fiber Festival with public and industry events, demonstrations, artists, displays, championship sheepdog trials and a host of other activities culminating in the annual Big Sheep Parade with 1,500 sheep prancing down Main Street in Ketchum. EXPANDED CULINARY EVENTS In addition to more gourmet cooking classes featuring top local chefs, the extremely popular free lamb tasting event, For the Love of Lamb in association with local restaurants and chefs will take place on Friday, October 10 starting at 5:00 p.m. Lamb tastings will be featured at several restaurants and other venues with famous local chefs and restaurants presenting their best lamb recipes. The Lamb Feast will take place on Saturday, October 11th, during the Zions Bank Folklife Fair. Six chefs will be preparing the best in lamb and Basque food to benefit the Festival Sunday, before and after the Parade, Festival Board members are hosting their annual authentic lamb barbecue as a fundraiser for the Festival.

What Does Love Look Like? BY KAREN BOSSICK
M
ore than 50 artists from coast to coast accepted Friesen Gallery’s invitation to answer that question with works of art.
The answers will be on display during the Sun Valley Gallery Association’s Valentine’s Day Gallery Walk on Friday. Ketchum galleries will be open from 5 to 8 p.m., pouring libations for those who are up for the stroll. The answers from the artists who complied with the Valentine’s Day theme are not clichéd or sweet, said gallery owner Andria Friesen, whose gallery is at 320 1st Ave. in Ketchum. “Instead, they are meaningful, intelligent, powerful, truthful, current, legitimate and each result is a poignant and unique work of art,” she said. One oil piece, by Purdy Eaton, depicts a billboard with the words “Love Me” scrawled across the top. “I’m trying” takes residence at the bottom. A mixed-media with Venetian plaster by Alexandra Eldridge features a portrait of two parrots kissing, among other things. “This really is a fascinating exhibition,” said Donna Pritchard, who works alongside Friesen. “The exhibition is titled ‘Filtered’ to evoke from each artist what love looks like through their filters. We have everything from art related to experiences in nature to art based on love, whether lost, found, parental or so on.”
tws
Highlights Of Friday’s Art Walk:
Jennifer Bellinger Art, 511 E. 4th St., will showcase Ken Newman’s bronze and heart-rock sculpture titled “Simple Love,” among other art. The piece shows two bronze bluebirds surrounding a found heart rock. Gilman Contemporary, 661 Sun Valley Rd., is exhibiting Laura Schiff Bean’s “Defined.” The mixed-media works examines not only how our clothing can define us but how a single dress can define the identity of its wearer in an exhibit that admittedly can leave the viewer feeling just a little bit naked. Kneeland Gallery, 271 First Ave. N., will stage an exhibit titled “Winter Requiems” and “Perceptions of Nature.” The exhibits will feature the works of Steven Lee Adams, Anna Kunz, Greg Woodard and local artist Lori McNee. Gail Severn Gallery, 400 First Ave. N., is featuring the contemporary abstract works of Gary Komarin, a son of a Czech architect and Viennese writer. Also German-born Anne Siems’ youthful cast of animal and human characters who comprise fable-like stories. Broschofsky Galleries, 360 East Ave. N., is featuring Western landscapes comprising “Autumn & Winter,” including works by landscape painter Russell Chatham. Harvey Art Projects, 391 1st Ave. N., features aboriginal artwork from Australia.
he Sun Valley Gallery Association will again be hosting a guided Ketchum art gallery walk on Friday. The guided walk will commence at Gilman Contemporary on Sun Valley Road and Spruce at 5:15 p.m. Walkers will enjoy new work at Gilman Contemporary, Wood River Fine Arts, Broshchofsky Galleries, Bellinger Fine Art, Frederic Boloix, Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Gail Severn Gallery, Harvey Art Projects, Friesen Gallery and Kneeland Gallery. The guided walk can take about 1.5 hours. Guests can leave the tour at any time for dinner engagements. This month’s guided walk will be led by Meredith Skillman. Skillman received her B.A. degree in art history with an emphasis on American history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has a MFA in contemporary art. Skillman, an employee of the Gail Severn Gallery, is filling in for Wendy Jaquet. tws

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys, My Nana, God bless her, is 93 years old. Until a month ago, she was still driving despite the fact she could barely see over the steering wheel. She had a 1980 Cutlass with only 22,000 miles on it. She only drove it to church and to her bridge club every week. We finally convinced her to give up driving at her age and advertise the car for sale. I thought with its low mileage, it would sell in an instant, but the first guy that called asked a question that got me thinking. He wanted to know if the odometer had been turned back. Of course it hadn't, but how could I prove that? It's something that never even crossed my mind and now has me wondering. How can someone tell if the mileage shown on an odometer has been changed? By the way, my nana's car did sell…to a 74-year-old woman who plays pinochle!
• • •
Cash: Driving 22,000 miles in
over 30 years is quite a feat. That's an average of about 15 miles a week. People today drive that much before their first cup of

coffee.
Carry: Unfortunately, there is
no definitive way to determine if an odometer has been changed. A mechanical style odometer, like the one you would find in your nana's Cutlass, can be changed in just a few minutes. Cash: It was thought that the introduction of digital odometers would eliminate fraud, but they too can be changed. It just takes a little longer. Carry: The good news is that although odometer fraud does happen, there are things you can do to minimize the possibility when buying a pre-owned car. The first is to do a visual inspection. Cash: Make sure the wear on
the brake pedal and the driver's side carpet is consistent with the mileage. A low mileage car should still look relatively new. Then, look for simple things like verifying that the mileage on an oil change sticker coincides with the odometer. Carry: One of the best ways to be safe is to only buy from an original owner. They not only know the car's entire history, but they typically take good care of the vehicle since they bought it new. Overall, trust your instinct. A car's condition should reflect its odometer reading. Cash: And by the way, now that your nana isn't driving, just make sure she gets to church on time!

Fast Facts Highway Miles
Reader Humor Lead Foot
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 450,000 cars are sold each year with false odometer readings. For every mile rolled back on an odometer, it raises the book value of the car by about ten cents. That means a rollback of 20,000 miles would increase a car's value by about $2,000. While the problem is scattered throughout all car sales, it appears to be most concentrated in the area of leased vehicles with high mileage.
Sometimes I drive too fast on the highway. Subconsciously I think it's because my wife always tells me to slow down. But last week, despite my speed, everyone was passing me. As I started to pick up the pace, the flashing lights of a police car pulled me over to the side. The officer proceeded to write me a ticket for speeding while my wife and son sat patiently. In an attempt to teach our son a lesson, my wife asked, "Do you know why Daddy was pulled over?" Unfortunately, her lesson didn't go as planned. Even the officer laughed when my son replied, "Sure, because the policeman couldn't catch the other cars." (Thanks to Michael R.)

Road Trip Most older odometers have only five digits, making it a monumental occasion when they roll over to zeros at 100,000 miles. Today's cars are designed with a 6th digit, making the rollover practically obsolete. That is, of course, unless you're Irv Gordon. His record holding 48-year-old P1800 Volvo has cleared more than 3 million miles and is still going strong with the original engine, body, axels and transmission. And he's not alone. Traveling salesman Peter Gilbert put over 1 million miles on his 1989 Saab 900 SPG which is now retired from service and kept in a museum in Hartford, Wisconsin.
