Lucky Wags His Way Back Into Service Following Near-Death Experience

Drive In The Super Bowl Of Desert Racing

BY KAREN BOSSICK

ucky has lived up to his name once again. The golden Labrador retriever trotted into Wood River Middle School where he is a reading therapy dog on Friday—just weeks after nearly dying in an accident that left a gaping hole in his chest. Lucky, as the dog is now known, was cavorting with two Lab friends in the White Clouds neighborhood across from Sun Valley Club when he ran smack dab into a piece of rebar—a property stake marker sticking 18 inches out of the ground but buried under the snow. “I heard a shriek and ran to him and found it had torn his chest open. He was standing there bleeding with a hole in his chest you could put your fist in,” said Terry Tischer, Lucky’s human companion. “The vet—Karsten Fostvedt— said it was one of the worst accidents he’d seen. Lucky had broken ribs, shredded muscle, a collapsed lung, a lot of foreign debris in his chest cavity… If I had gotten there five minutes later, Lucky would have been dead.” Lucky nearly died twice during surgery, which lasted two-and-ahalf hours. He received four layers of stitches and 65 staples. He spent 10 days in the animal hospital—two of those days in an oxygen tank in intensive care. “We thought he probably wouldn’t make it when he first came in— there was a huge hole in his chest where you could see his organs. But he was really a good patient. He was in all that pain and he never ever tried to bite. He ended up having the most visitors of any pets we’ve ever cared for,” said Vet Tech Lauren Simmons. “Karsten said it was a miracle that he survived,” said Tischer, who is sleeping with Lucky on mattresses placed on the kitchen floor until he’s well enough to jump up onto the bed where he’s accustomed to sleeping. Tischer found Lucky a little more than a year ago at the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley after her beloved 15-year-old dog died. “I said, ‘I want a 2-year-old. And, if I get a dog, I’m going to name it Lucky,’ ” Tischer recalled. “I saw a group of Labs barking. And this one was sitting quietly. He looked at me,

Sochi Winter Olympics BY BALI SZABO

he ageless Steve Holcomb just keeps on doing it. In 1998 he ended a 62-year-old medal drought Bali Szabo for the U.S. in the four-man bobsled. It has been 62 years since the U.S. has medaled in the two-man bobsled. Holcomb did it again by finishing .05 seconds put of second place, to earn bronze. In the two-woman bobsled, the sled U.S.-1 of Alana Myers and Loren Williams squandered their early lead and finished second to Humphries of Canada. The U.S.-2 sled got bronze. We rarely medal in these events. Loren was the first to earn a track and field and a winter sport medal. Lolo Jones was trying as well, in U.S.-3. Her push times were good, but the sled was too slow. Officialdom, in its infinite wisdom, deemed a sanctioned tribute to Canadian Sarah Burke inappropriate. She died in 2012 in a training accident (broken back). She championed this sport’s inclusion in the Olympics. In tribute, the freestyle skiers skied down the halfpipe course in the shape of a heart. Marie Martinod, this year’s silver medalist who had competed against Sarah as a teen, quit in 2008, got married, had a child, but Sarah talked her into coming back because she had faith that this was going to become an Olympic event, along with the women’s ski jump. Maddie Bowman of Lake Tahoe got the gold with two great runs. In the men’s event, David Wise earned his gold with two high-scoring runs. In men’s snowboard-cross, Alex Diebold of the U.S. lucked into a bronze. In the traditional signature event, women’s figure skating was up against the superlative ice dance finals on the 18th. This year’s group was thought to be the best, most competitive

field ever. Coach Frank Carroll created a controversy when he said children skate like children, not like women. In the short program, ‘Queen’ Yuna Kim of South Korea, veteran Carolina Kostner of Italy and Adelina Sotnikova of Russia were essentially tied going into the long program. All three women medaled, with the 17-year old Russian taking the gold, and rightly so. Gracie Gold and Iulia Lipnitskaya were too stiff and nervous, and Ashley Wagner was perhaps undergraded. The last year that an American man or woman did not medal in ice skating was 1936, again, 62 years ago. In the women’s giant slalom, amazin’ Tina Maze of Slovenia won her second gold. Mikaela Shiffrin barely missed the podium. In the men’s giant slalom favorite Ted Ligety, skiing first, laid down a blistering run, and had a 1.5-second lead that held up for the gold. Missilier and Pinturault of France got the silver and bronze. In the much anticipated women’s slalom, the three best women were on top after the first run. Favorite Mikaela Shiffrin gave a clinic on how to ski slalom and had a .7-second lead over Tina Maze and Maria Hoefl-Riesch. In the second run, skiing last, Mikaela was going too fast and rounded a gate on one ski. She recovered from the potential disaster and finished well ahead of Kathryn Zettel and M. Schild of Austria. At 18, Mikaela is the youngest Olympian to win gold during these games. In women’s hockey, archrivals U.S. and Canada battled for the gold. With less than 7 minutes left, and with a 2-0 lead, the U.S. snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and lost in overtime, 3-2. Marie-Philipe Poulin scored the tying and winning goals. In men’s hockey, Russia got bounced by the Finns, the U.S. lost to Canada 1-0 in the semis, so the best they can do is bronze, playing against a hungry Finland. Canada and Sweden skated for the gold. tws

BRIEF

Neuhoff Communications of Twin Falls Expands Into Blaine County Neuhoff Communications will officially expand its operations into Blaine County on Thursday, February 27th, with the re-launch of one of their three TV stations. This announcement was made by Neuhoff Communications Vice President and Twin Falls Operations General Manager, Chris Pruitt. The station will be known as KSVT - FOX 14 and will be an affiliate of FOX Entertainment. Although the FOX station has been on the air for a little over a year, the changing of the call letters to KSVT will mark the official commitment to better serving the community interest of Blaine County. The call letters KSVT stand for Sun Valley Television and were previously used to refer to an independent low-power television station that served Blaine County and the Wood River Valley until October of 2012. Neuhoff is the television market leader in the Twin Falls DMA and is consistently ranked as one of the top CBS affiliates in the country. This is largely due to the organization’s commitment to the community. “I am very excited about serving the people of the Wood River Valley. Although we have been working hard over the past year to include more news coverage of Blaine County, the time has come for us to truly give a voice to this vital and growing segment of our television market,” said Mr. Pruitt. “After the fires last year, the area was left in economic peril. I want our organization to be a part of rebuilding the economy. I believe this can be done by making the Magic Valley more aware of what is happening on a daily basis in the Wood River Valley.” KSVT can be seen in the Wood River Valley on COX Cable (channel 6 and 1006), Dish Network (channel 8804 and 5273) and DirecTV (channel 14). Soon Neuhoff Communications will be replacing a translator on Dollar Mountain and it can be seen over-the-air on digital channel 11.3. Over the next few weeks Neuhoff Communications intends to host several town-hall-style meetings to receive input from the community on programming and news coverage. The current programming includes FOX Entertainment hit shows like American Idol, New Girl and recent hit sitcom Brooklyn 99. Of course FOX is best known for sports coverage that includes NFL and college football, Major League Baseball, NASCAR, soccer and UFC. Neuhoff intends to open a Wood River Valley office soon and is in the process of hiring a reporter to live and work in Blaine County. ABOUT NEUHOFF COMMUNICATIONS Neuhoff Communications owns 12 radio stations and three television stations in Idaho and Illinois. The company is headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, and privately owned by Neuhoff Family Limited Partnership. For more information contact Chris Pruitt at (208) 733-1100.

than Duran debuted in his first freestyle competition Friday. Already, he was seeing it as a stepping stone to the Olympics. “I saw Kaitlyn Farrington win the half-pipe and that was pretty cool because she’s from here. She represents all of us,” said the 12-year-old Wood River Middle School student. “It’s got me thinking about the Olympics. I think it would be real cool to travel the world and compete in slopestyle, or maybe the halfpipe. Competing in Sochi would have been cool, but Aspen, Colo., would be good, too. And Park City is a pretty cool ski town. I just have to practice a lot.” Competitors came from Idaho, Utah and Washington for the Intermountain Divisional Championship event held Friday through Sunday on Dollar and Bald mountains. Olympic fever fed by images from Sochi seemed to grip many of the youngsters, whether they were in the halfpipe, on the rails and boxes or flying above the mogul course. “I saw the mogul competition and it was amazing. Everybody is training harder and the jumps are getting better,” said mogul specialist Alex LaFleur, a 14-year-old, eighth-grade student. And does he envision himself at an Olympics? “Absolutely. I would love to be able to represent my country. That would be amazing. I’ve got a big task ahead of me, though. I watched the interviews and everything they said was practice, practice, practice, practice.” Many of the competitors on Sun Valley slopes, of course, have a long way to go to get to the Olympics. Some of the tiny tots pittered and pattered their way down the bumps on Roundhouse Slope, nearly coming to a stop as their skis carried them up the lifts. Their little skis teetered for a moment then—plunge—gravity took effect and they went over the lift and down the course, threading their way meticulously through more bumps. Others flipped through the air,

twisting and spinning like birds gone crazy before coming back to earth and scissoring their way in rapid machine gun-like staccato to the finish line. The experience is priceless, said Jennifer Diehl, whose 12-year-old son Hunter and 11-year-old son Axel compete in moguls and slopestyle. “They get up every day excited about hitting the slopes. And through the sport they’re learning how to be gentlemen, have character, and take care of their bodies. It’s healthy competition,” she said.

deline Gage, a Wood River High School senior, is an artist by trade. “I’ve been drawing and painting forever,” she said. “It’s totally my passion in life.” Born in Renton, Wash., Adeline’s family moved to Fairfield when she was three years old. She makes the trip to the Wood River Valley, which she calls “very long and boring,” every day with her parents or siblings, to attend the high school. “I really like Fairfield. It has a lot of good people and it’s not much different from Hailey, just smaller. I also like the fact that everyone knows everybody. I’ve been to some cities, like Seattle and Las Vegas, and they are fun to visit but I could never live there because they are too dirty. What I love the most about here is how beautiful it is, with all the spectacular scenery, and the people are also great. Even though it might not look like it, there is so much to do, like hike, ski or swim in the river. There are just a lot of things you can’t do in a city.” Art entered Adeline’s life at an early age. “We didn’t have much money, and there was always paper around, so I just started doodling. My mom used to draw and she was really good at it, so I guess that was my inspiration.” At first her subjects were houses and flowers. “I remember drawing a lot of houses because my mom drew one and she did such a good job that I wanted to draw them, too, and I just went from there. I started painting my freshman year, which is something that I had never done before. I just wanted to do something that people would like to look at, so I painted a landscape of Hawaii. I see flaws in it now but at the time I thought it was the best.” Adeline is now taking Advanced Placement art at the high school. “In class, we work with all the mediums, like oils, pastels, watercolors, pen and ink. I really enjoy doing little sketches and work a lot in acrylics, which I like because it dries fast and it’s easy to mix and get the right color. It’s my go-to paint. I’ve also started working with oils, which are really interesting because it doesn’t dry fast and can take up to a week. It’s fun because if you see a mistake you can blend it in and it’s got a great texture, but you have to be really careful not to touch it accidentally while it’s drying.” Lately, her subjects have been portraits. “Painting people has never been my favorite; I’m not so good at it, so it’s a real challenge. I do love landscapes, though, and will sometimes

paint just whatever comes to mind. Right now I’m working on a painting of fruit with a telephone in the middle of it. I think it’s boring to just paint fruit, so I wanted to add something. Not a lot of artists would add a phone, but I wanted to give it a modern twist.” It’s what makes Adeline’s style so individual. tws

The Wobble Is Back… And So Are The Brothers

Hennigan, Henri IV and Helaina Rivers of New York are happy to be taking part in NBS Ski Week.

Snowboarders Maria Clay and Linnear Lawless of Los Angeles and Anthony Ware of Atlanta are among the snowboarders who belong to the National Brotherhood of Skiers.

arrie Austin has wanted to come to Sun Valley since she was a youngster, looking through the elegant pictures of Sun Valley in the “LIFE” magazine that her parents subscribed to in “dusty, dry and flat Amarillo, Texas.” She’s here now, part of 800 members of the National Brotherhood Skiers and their accompanying Renegades. And Austin, who now lives in Aurora, Colo., is ready to party. “I learned to ski, and here I am,” she said, her body language expressing a giant exclamation mark. Austin was among those who turned out for the Opening Ceremonies of the NBS at Ketchum Town Plaza Sunday afternoon before heading off to a pub crawl. “I’ve been waiting two years to do The Wobble,” Sun Valley Sales Director Brent Gillette told them as the merrymakers prepared to rock out with their signature dance move. The NBS—founded in 1973— is comprised of 3,000 skiers and boarders from cities like Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston, Tampa, Miami, New York and Washington, D.C. Most attend two or three of the organization’s ski weeks each year to get their snow fix. When they’re not skiing, they’re dancing—usually to rap, hip hop or Motown. “Two years ago when you were here, we were following you around because you were smiling and having fun…You bring so much energy. You come to play,” Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas saluted them during the Opening Ceremonies. The event started with a dance and a prayer: “Heavenly Father, we’re back at Sun Valley and we’re happy about that… We’re healthy and blessed to be able to play on this beautiful mountain.” While here, NBS members and The Renegades—followers who don’t belong to the organization—will meet every morning at 7:15 a.m. for First Tracks on Baldy. They’ll participate in a Poker Run with participating Ketchum businesses for a fur band donated by the Alaska Gallery. They’ll have extended happy hours at River Run Lodge, a

picnic on the hill, races, an “extended, extended happy hour” after skiing on Friday and a concert featuring Grammy Award rhythm and blues nominee Raheem DeVaughn, whose hits include “Woman.” Sponsors include Sun Valley Resort, Columbia, REI, The North Face and Diageo, which will concoct a signature cocktail for the event. “We’re so glad we came back so soon. We had a good time in 2012,” said national president Diana Starks, who hails from Twinsburg, Ohio. “Last time I was here I thought Bald Mountain was difficult. But that was 10 years ago. I’ve learned to ski better since then,” said Regina Prewitt-Wimbley of Tampa. “By Wednesday, we’re going to

Friend Honors Kaitlyn’s Gold With Catchy T-Shirt BY KAREN BOSSICK

Kaitlyn Farrington shares a moment with Heather Black, who urged her to get serious about snowboarding as a teenager.

orey Warren’s mind went crazy creative as he watched his friend Kaitlyn Farrington claim the gold medal in the snowboard halfpipe at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. And almost as fast as Kaitlyn weaved her magic connecting a backward two-turn spin with a backward two-and-a-halfturn spin, he sketched a design for a T-shirt honoring her accomplishment.

Sun Valley’s girl’s snowboard team members Zoe Bacca, Elk Spencer, Clara Jenner, Payton Bacca, Emmy McCune and Cora Kaiser hold a banner welcoming Kaitlyn Farrington. The glitter, the gold.

The Kuli Kuli energy bars tout “Nourishing You, Nourishing the World.”

Thank You, Wood River Valley! We would like to thank David Barovetto, who came up with the idea and placed the first $10 in the glass to start the fundraising. Thank you Nappy and Susan Neaman, who organized the fundraising around the Valley by placing a snowboarding boot at Sun Valley Wine Company, The Elephant’s Perch, Atkinsons’ Market, Apple’s and Starbucks. Nappy and Susan, along with many others, spent time collecting funds for us at Atkinsons’ Market. A big thanks for all the out-ofstate checks that came in, along with many handshakes and envelopes. The little girl who wanted to help placed 75 cents in the boot so she could be a part of the fundraising, which proves that no matter how BIG or SMALL your donation, we could not have done this trip without ALL of you! To watch our daughter Kaitlyn Farrington win the gold in snowboard halfpipe in Sochi, Russia, was a WONDERFUL lifetime experience! WE CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH!

“The Gem State Just Turned Gold,” says the T-shirt. The shirt utilizes an outline of the state of Idaho for the “L” in gold and splashes a picture of Kaitlyn on her snowboard across the Gem State lettering. “I’m always looking for some fun puns and plays on stuff,” said Warren. “To see a fellow Sun Valley-area resident make it so far in her discipline is so satisfying. I’m filled with pride that one of my friends is out there on the world stage doing what she loves to do.” But Warren didn’t stop with the design. He next employed a new creative way to figure out if there was interest in the T-shirt before producing a bunch. He launched the limitededition commemorative piece under a website called Tee Spring, which is basically a kickstarter for designing and selling custom apparel online T-shirts. “You design your shirt, set a goal for your tipping point and advertise a time limit and then advertise it as much as possible. If you don’t meet your goal, the campaign does not conclude and no one gets their shirts. This incentivizes buyers to spread the link and get the word out,”

Warren said. Warren reached his goal of 50 interested buyers in just a couple days. The campaign will continue through March 4. Then T-shirts will start shipping. Warren is designating a portion of proceeds from the sales toward the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation scholarship fund. “I don’t know if anyone will be able to buy the T-shirt beyond this campaign. But there’s a chance I may reissue the design and sell the shirts at The Board Bin, which has been a big supporter of my projects,” Warren said. Warren—a skier himself— grew up in Ketchum but left for college, studying at the University of Idaho in Moscow before he transferred to Western Washington University in Bellevue where he majored in graphic design. Following graduation, he worked for five years at a print shop in Bellingham before moving back to Ketchum in November. Here he established Idahome, which makes merchandise and media inspired by the grandeur of Idaho. The Idahome logo began as a drawing on a napkin at a Mexican restaurant in Moscow. “After coming back to work at Redfish Lake after my first winter away from home, I realized nothing could beat Idaho—NOTHING. Being a proud Idaho native and just kind of natural with sketching things… I might’ve been a little homesick but I ended up sketching the Idahome design and it just blossomed from there. Idahome has become my creative outlet to express and share my love for all things Idahome,” he said. tws

A Golden Homecoming: Kaitlyn Brings A Little Glitter Back To Sun Valley STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

aitlyn Farrington has gained 18,000 followers on Twitter since winning Olympic gold, and she’s had a tweet from Zac Efron that still gets her giddy. She calls herself and fellow snowboarders Kelly Clark and Hannah Teter “the golden girls.” She’s explained snowboarding to David Letterman and told talk show hosts Michael and Kelly that her gold medal was the ticket to getting to hang out with “the boys’ hockey team,” even as she showed off the dreadlock her friend Maddie had given her for good luck. There’s a chance she will get her picture on a box of Cheez-It crackers. And on Sunday she got to be the honorary race official at the Daytona 500 where she rode in the pace car. But the 24-year-old Bellevue cowgirl showed that she hasn’t let success go to her head as soon as her feet touched ground back home in Idaho Monday afternoon. “This is the first time I’ve cried since winning the gold,” she said, wiping away tears. “Going into the airport, having everyone there who supported me through the years…it’s just an amazing feeling.” Farrington’s older sister Jessalyn Scheinberg nodded approvingly, “I’m so happy and proud—this is fun to see. She’s a rock star but it hasn’t changed her at all. She’s still her own girl. She’s always done things her way. She’s still my little sister—just as I remember her.” The Wood River drum line beat out a rhythm as the Delta jet carrying Farrington touched down at Friedman Memorial Airport 18 minutes ahead of schedule. Farrington immediately appeared at the doorway of the plane, as 1968 Olympic Gold Medalist Dick Fosbury and Bellevue Mayor Chris Koch waved from the tarmac. Farrington hugged Snowboard Coach Andy Gilbert, members of the Sun Valley girl’s snowboard team and then handed her cell phone to a “Sun” reporter to take a picture of her standing with the girls behind their welcome banner. Inside the airport more than a hundred people, including former Olympic ice skater Lisa Marie Allen, waved American flags and snapped pictures as Hailey Mayor Fritz Haemmerle presented Farrington with the key to the City of Hailey, and Bellevue Mayor Chris Koch promised her a big party celebrating her achievement next month. She accepted an invitation to

meet with Special Olympians Friday morning, posed with Moose the Great Pyrenees service dog and replied, “I’ll have to see what I’m up to,” when a Silver Creek High School student asked her to be their graduation speaker. “She’s amazing,” Special Olympian Nathan Lago told a friend as he walked out of the airport. “She’s my new idol.” Farrington’s parents beamed as they watched their daughter sign autographs on everything from a ski helmet, a dollar bill to Cole Curci’s cast. She added “100 percent fun” to each autograph. “Sochi was great, but this is just as great,” said Farrington’s father Gary Farrington. “When we were in Russia all anyone talked about were the Russians that won. It was amazing to get back to the States where everybody’s congratulating us,” added Kaitlyn’s mother, Suz’ Locke.

SHE COST ME TWO BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE A half-hour later Kaitlyn, her parents and Andy Gilbert piled into Dave Stone’s 1966 convertible Mustang GT for a drive through Bellevue. Kaitlyn then climbed atop a Wood River Fire and Rescue ladder truck. Strapped in with a safety harness, and she stood waving at hundreds of Hailey Elementary School students who lined Hailey’s Main Street, jumping and screaming,“USA,” amidst red, white and blue balloons and signs congratulating the golden girl. “I never expected all this,” said Farrington. Finally, the entourage of police cars and fire trucks sporting American flags, and a Team USA flag crawled through Ketchum, lights flashing and sirens wailing as it headed to the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s Engel Training Center, where more than 30 paparazzi and a gaggle of reporters awaited her. Youngsters enrolled in the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation program, and a few dozen adults, including former U.S. Ski Team Coach Michel Rudigoz, crowded into the room to listen. “She cost me two bottles of champagne, but so did Ted Ligety and Mikaela Shiffrin,” said Rudigoz who popped the cork for the U.S. gold medal winners at his Christiania Restaurant. Farrington told those assembled that she had all but written herself off before she qualified for the Olympics because there were

so many good snowboarders vying for the team of four. “I heard the announcer say, ‘Kaitlyn has to win this contest to make the team.’ and I thought, ‘No pressure,’ ” she said of her qualifying run in the final contest. “To walk away from the Olympic experience with a gold medal…” Kaitlyn said she treated her long day of going through qualifying and semi-final runs at the Olympics as “just another riding day,” adding it was just like spending a whole day snowboarding. She started the day at 2 p.m. and finished about 10 p.m. She changed up her tricks, went in from both sides of the pipe and got a good feel for the pipe while some of the girls limited themselves to three training runs. She even had a couple “aha” moments as she went bigger than ever before. “It was a long day. But for me it was just another halfpipe competition. The hard part was getting to the Olympics. Once there, I was there to enjoy it,” she said.

It’s just snowboarding… “Farrington has always set herself apart with her mindset, mental toughness, physical ability and uniqueness,” Sun Valley Snowboard Coach Andy Gilbert said. “She would give all the boys in the pipe a run for their money,” he said. “And she was always pushing for tricks others girls didn’t have.” Farrington had been training on her own, hiring her own coaches in the months leading up to the Olympics, he added. “One of the reasons she’s done so well is that she’s surrounded herself with good people and she did it her way. She made good decisions,” he added. Farrington said she has always been the underdog. “A lot of times people write me off, but now people know I’m a threat to be reckoned with,” she said, to vigorous applause. Kaitlyn said her medal feels comfortable around her neck even though it weighs 1 and a quarter pounds. She can’t leave it at home because everyone wants to touch it. “People say, ‘Bite your medal.’ I don’t want to –so many people have touched it already,” she said. “I’m probably going to carry it around in my pocket for the next month. I’m going to milk it as much as I can,” she said. “Mainly, I hope it takes me to the beach.”

Kaitlyn told The Weekly Sun last week that she hoped Sun Valley Resort would consider renaming Broadway run in her honor, even though snowboarding was banned from Baldy’s Seattle Ridge area when the sport first emerged. But she said Sun Valley officials had nixed that wish. Whatever they choose, “Kaitlyn’s Way” seems the perfect name because that was her motto growing up. “It’s so perfect because I do things the way I want to,” she said.”I don’t take advice from anyone else.” Kaitlyn told the youngsters in the room to “keep putting in hard work,” even when you’re bummed at yourself or think you’re never going to get there. “There are going to be contests where you’re going to say, ‘The judges hate me,’ she said. “But you’ve got to keep going.” Farrington added that her story shows that anyone can come from nothing and end up on top. “I was on scholarships coming up through the Ski Education Foundation program so everyone was paying for me.” A half-hour after it started, the press conference was over and Farrington was on her way to the patio outside the Warm Springs Lodge where she greeted friends into the evening. She

plans to snowboard and “do a lot of interviews” this week before a big party in her honor Saturday afternoon and her final competition of the season in Vail a week later. “I started snowboarding because I liked it and it was something fun. That’s all it is—it’s just snowboarding, nothing bigger than that,” she said, explaining how she stays grounded. “Every time I go on the mountain I just want to have fun.” “Isn’t she a breath of fresh air or what?!” said Sun Valley Ski Coach Orly Sather. tws A celebration party honoring Kaitlyn Farrington will start at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Warm Springs Lodge with live music and food and beverage specials from Sun Valley Company. An official ceremony honoring the gold medalist will be held from 4 to 4:45 p.m. on the Warm Springs deck. A street party follows the ceremony on Picabo Street between Jane Lane and Lloyd Court with live music by Old Death Whisper and food and drink specials at Apple Bar and Grill. The party is expected to last until about 7 p.m.

Learning From A Wild Gift

LUCKY, FROM PAGE 1

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

L Lucky and her owner Terry Tischer are greeted by Ms. Greer's class with treats and signs.

and I asked, ‘What’s his name and how old is he?’ And they said, ‘His name is Lucky and he’s 2.’ ” Lucky had been turned into the shelter by a ranch woman who was tired of him escaping off the ranch. “I was warned that I would always have to keep him on a leash. But I should have named him Velcro—he never leaves my side,” Tischer said. Lucky had scarcely moved in with Tischer before he lived up to his name once again. He paused to take a drink in a flood-swollen Trail Creek and would have been swept away had Tischer’s daughter not jumped in to save him. That brush with death aside, Tischer took him through therapy training with Linda Patterson to teach him to become a reading therapy dog. Lucky visits the Middle School weekly, sitting at the kids’ feet, his paw on their knees, as they read to him from “Touching Spirit Bear,” a book about an angry juvenile delinquent whose encounter with a Spirit Bear helps him to heal. “I used to teach so I wanted to use Lucky with kids,” said

Tischer. “Reading to a dog provides a child a pleasurable, supportive way to practice their reading. It’s an opportunity to read aloud with absolutely no pressure. They can mispronounce a word or not know the definition or even skip an entire sentence by mistake and Lucky doesn’t react. “And Lucky loves the things they read to him—he understands their tone and likes their hand on him. And he loves the cookies they feed him in the office and getting to kiss his student buddies in (Leila) Greer’s sixth-grade class before he begins work.” Lucky had a doctor’s checkup Thursday afternoon—he strolled into the clinic wagging his tail, happy to greet everyone, wowing vet techs who were surprised he’d want to set paw back in the clinic given what he’d been through. “He’s like an old soul dressed up in a dog’s suit,” Tischer said. “It goes to show that some of these dogs that people don’t want to keep, that they think are dispensable… give them love and attention and they can be so giving.” tws

isa Curtis found herself malnourished, living on a diet of rice and millet in the West African village where she was serving in the Peace Corps. Noticing how weak she had become, one of the villagers introduced her to moringa, a leafy scrubby plant that grows in a variety of conditions, including hot, poor sandy soil. It was a superfood, the Oakland, Calif., woman would come to understand. “It’s full of vitamins A, B and C, protein and calcium. It’s one of the most nutritious plants on Earth,” she said. Inspired, Curtis concocted a gluten-free, vegan energy bar, which she figured could improve nutrition while establishing moringa farm co-ops that would give women in West Africa a better livelihood. Curtis and her black cherry, dark chocolate and crunchy almond Kuli Kuli bars, which are sold at such markets as Whole Foods, came to the attention of Wild Gift, a Sun Valley-based organization that supports young entrepreneurs who create innovative solutions to today’s global challenges. And two weeks ago Curtis found herself joining three other Wild Gift fellows on a winter alpine expedition that took them across the snow in the Smoky Mountains to Sun Valley Trekking’s Coyote, Tornak and Bench Lakes backcountry yurts. The program has mentored 43 such young social entrepreneurs in its 11-year existence. This year’s fellows also included James Richard, of Charleston,

The Kuli Kuli energy bars tout “Nourishing You, Nourishing the World.”

Marty Schnure, of Mill Valley, Calif., has created a place-based visual storytelling tool using interactive maps that visualize the work of social and environmental initiatives. And Raj Vable, of Eugene, Ore., has concocted Young Mountain Tea, which supports small farmers in India by creating a direct link between tea cooperatives and American consumers. Capital investor Will Hovey, wilderness ranger Ed Cannady, Wild Gift founder Bob Jonas, mindful awareness guru Ryan Redman and others shared

thoughts with them during their winter odyssey. “They hadn’t had much, if any, experience with skiing. And they picked up ideas from each other,” said Carrie Douglas, communications director for Wild Gift. “They came in thinking they were going to do business one way and they left considering new approaches.” Curtis said even the act of skiing became a metaphor for conducting business. “I had not been on skis for 10 years and, as a consequence, I learned a lot about falling,” she said. “It was a good lesson for my business. You fall down and you pick yourself up and get back on your skis and carry on.” tws

es, it’s baseball time again as all the Major League teams are warming up in Arizona and Florida and getting set for the 2014 season. Because of the Super Bowl success of the Seattle Seahawks in February, you’d think that their excellence will roll over to the Seattle Mariners and make them the World Series champions this year. Though they finished last year with a record of 71wins and 91 losses, it’s clear to me that the Northwest United States is now is a real player in all sports, including baseball. The Mariners paid $240 million to sign former New York Yankees All Star second baseman Robinson Cano for the next seven years. They’ve locked up ace pitcher Felix Hernandez for the same additional time at $175 million. However, they have absolutely no one else who can hit, pitch or field with any proficiency. On paper, if Hernandez pitches a shutout and Cano hits a home run every game Felix pitches, we should be in the driver’s seat for the championship. But, Felix pitches every fifth game, so we lose four in a row until he pitches again. Projecting ahead, we could post a record of 35 – 127 for 2014 – not good. But what if the other players play well this year, inspired by the performances of Hernandez and Cano? They won’t. They’re not good ballplayers and there’s no more money left. Now what? Do I have to suffer through another horrible season? The answer is yes. But so what? I’m used to it and I like to cheer for the underdog. Apparently, I enjoy watching losers, which is why I like to attend karaoke events in Blaine County. Nothing is better than witnessing one of your favorite tunes being mangled by an amateur performer. It gets me ready for another Mariner season. If I can sit through bad singing, I can watch the Seattle ballclub in their efforts to drive toward the cellar this year. Give me a wrong note on a Neil Diamond song and I’ll show you how I can endure another misplay on the diamond at Safeco Field. After all, I’m in spring training, as well. I’ll see you at the bars in March. I’ll be the guy with the Mariner baseball cap singing “The Impossible Dream” in the key of “R” inspiring no one. Nice talking to you.

Sixty thousand spectators are expected to watch the race from the stands, and NBC-TV will televise the race the afternoon of July 6. Robinson will be driving a Class 1100 Pro Buggy #1115 for the Desert Runners Racing Team out of Las Vegas. “These guys picked me out of the blue. They contacted me in my Facebook chatbox. It read, ‘Hi, Paul: I know we have not met but we and others have been watching you! You don’t ever seem to wreck your vehicles and you always podium your car. What would you think about driving for us…?’ I responded, ‘Yes, I would love to drive for you guys!’ ” Car racing has long been in Robinson’s blood—his father owned an auto parts store in San Diego, Calif., so he started competing in motorsports at a young age. But motorsports took a back seat to ski racing as he grew older. His enthusiasm for motorsports roared back into his life when he took his mother to San Jose del Cabo at the south end of the Baja California peninsula after his father died. There, off-road racers tested their gear not 300 yards from his house every day. His next door neighbor—five-time Baja 1000 champion Ryan Thomas—took him under his wing and showed him the ropes. Baja racing legend Mickey Quade tuned his car. Robinson won a Pro Baja Class 16 season championship driving with Boheme Racing, as well as other big races. He proved the fastest student, clocking more than 165 miles per hour during two trips to Richard Petty’s NASCAR Driving School at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “I am very lucky to have a 70 percent podium success rate over my career. When I enter a race, my competitors say I am the guy to beat. At 56, I feel like I have arrived at the top after years of hard work—and after being a dead guy walking!” he said, referring to an incident where he received third- and fourth-degree burns over 75 percent of his body when he was caught in a fire while painting a house on Saddle Road in 1989. Robinson returned to Hailey several years ago because he felt the area offered better health services for his now 92-year-old mother. But he didn’t leave behind his love of racing. He fixed up a No. 988 buggy that he will race in the Jackpot (Nev.) 200

in July. And he will race at the General Tire Las Vegas to Reno 500 in August. Robinson has turned some heads, said crew chief Byron Downard: “In the first race I saw, he ran to the front from the back and finished a two-day race in second out of 30-plus cars. That same season he put his 9 Lives Racing Pro 9 buggy on the podium three out of the four races he entered. And at the end of the 2013 season he raced for Desert Runners Racing Class 12 to second place at the Rage at the River in Laughlin, Nev., even though he’d never driven the car before the race.” Robinson says driving on snow as he does here gives him the seat-of-the-pants type driving experience that’s necessary to be fast in the dirt. “I’ve figured out the physics and the dynamics of how to do things. I may not be the fastest car out there but I beat guys in the corners and in technical sections” he said. “There’s a 50 percent attrition rate at most races. Some drop out because of mechanical problems. Others wreck. In 94 starts I’ve had no wrecks, no rollovers—knock on wood!” Robinson says it would be easier if he lived in Vegas or Barstow, Calif., where everyone is hooked on the racing scene. Guys would be knocking down his door for a chance to serve as his navigator. Still, he has enlisted a team of local boys, including Chad Ramsey, old ski buddy Tom Shepard and roofer Javier Zamora, to navigate for him. Evan Downard serves as his crew chief. Robinson also has garnered a number of local sponsors, including Tom Shepard of Sun Valley Transfer & Storage; Tom West at Ketchum Chiropractic, who not only keeps his body in check but sends some pocket money with him to the races; Preston Ziegler at Earthworks Excavation; Evan Downard at Tooling Express; Byron Downard; Joe Marx and Tim Carter at Idaho Mountain Builders; Larry Anderson at Anderson Asphalt Paving; Smith Optics; Jeff Page at Inland Surfer Wake Surfboards; Ryan Parton at Ryan’s Mountain Rentals; Blake Barrymore at Valley Mill & Door; Bigwood Body & Paint; Tim Jeneson Insurance; and Carl Browning at United Oil. “These people have helped make a dream come true for me to race at the highest level, against the best there is,” Robinson said. tws

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR FEB. 26 FROM PICABO ANGLER

riday is the last day to fish on Silver Creek for the winter season! We love hard working anglers, but if ever there was a week to skip out on “less important” activities, it is this week! The fishing with streamers has remained consistent, with little dips and lulls in the action as well as crazy hours of great fishing. It seems that the later in the day, the better the fishing is getting. The warming water and low light tends to pull more big fish from under the banks and gets them out in mid-river where we can target them.

Expect the water to be off color, and be glad that it is, as the lack of clarity is one reason the fish stay active in the middle of the river and hit our flies with abandon. Floating lines, 2X leader set ups, black/ olive wooly buggers and leeches are all one needs. The dry fly fishing on the Big Wood continues to get better and better as we approach the month of March. Midge activity is spiking when the air temps break the freezing mark. A little cloud cover helps as well, but the hatch is not dependent on this. More and more anglers are starting to make the drive around to the Lost River for excellent late winter fishing. If you are driving the highway around through Arco to Mackay, be sure to stop by the Picabo Angler. We still have $1.00 flies for sale, we can pack you a lunch while you fill up with gas, and we can put an espresso and breakfast burrito in your hand for the last hour of your drive. The South Fork of the Boise is still fishing, with the same reports of large fish over numbers of fish being the norm. One of our very favorite places to fish this time of year is the canyon below Magic Reservoir on the Big Wood. The pre-spawn activity of the Rainbows in this stretch is awesome. It may not be easy, but the fish will come into very shallow water and mill about searching for Midges on the surface or under the water. Fishing here on a bright day really helps if you want to site fish these cruisers. If it’s too windy or cloudy than try stripping nymphs and streamers like you would on Silver Creek. Have a great, safe week on the water! Happy Fishing Everyone!

Home Is Not Where The Heart Is Bali Szabo

here was a recent article in this paper by Connie Love on the importance of gratitude. She coupled gratitude with joy—something we can bring to our ordinary lives, an antidote to modern ennui. Also, it reconnects us to the present. We begin to see and appreciate our lives, or elements of it, as not so ordinary. (There is a negative side to ‘seeing,’ when we are confronted by something horrific, perhaps a domestic situation, and we can’t deal with it. Instead, we seek an escape and so lapse into blindness, denial and a conspiracy of silence.) Once off the pass and in camp, I was overflowing with gratitude. I thanked everyone who had offered to help me. I thanked the head Sherpa, Ang Lagpa, for carrying my 40-pound pack, and for staying behind. He later came over, obviously relieved that everything ended well. ‘You’re very strong, very strong. Never seen anything like it, never’, he said as he moved away, shaking his head. The compliment didn’t go to my head.

‘A village home in Thengpo, with Mount Thengpo in the background. Thami Valley, Nepal.

I just shrugged it off as luck, or whatever. The hike from the pass followed the course of the Thami River. The view back toward the pass was pure splendor. The glacial wash was interspersed with the autumn tans of grass, sedge and moss and a little auburn scrub. The sky-blue rivulets led the eye up toward the snows, the little dip of the saddle we crossed, and to an embracing ring of mountains on both sides of us that shone like the family silver at the dinner table. Like the Salmon River, the Thami carved a modest gorge here. The mountains on the opposite

side rose raw and immediate, to 20,00 feet. Their slopes were as close as Carbonate is to Main Street. All day, and the next, rock slides and avalanches roared off the steeps, ribbing their upper realms with grooved couloirs. The slides continued through the night, and one shook the earth beneath us. The next morning, the camp was dusted with snow. A large avalanche had come down directly opposite us and collected in the gorge. The snow had come from the sparay. One of the basics of mountaineering, though not always followed, even on Everest, is do not set up camp below an avalanche slope. We did, but we were protected by the gorge. Bill Cooper and his young wife Jan, our honeymooners, had to head home, and would leave us in two days and catch a bush flight to Kathmandu. The very thought of home loomed like a threat. Our journey had reached the halfway point. For most visitors, the trek on the Everest trail is an adventure. For us, the adventure was behind us. There was a visible letdown. We were all much closer to home than we cared to be. The compelling terrain had exercised its magic, the challenge changed us. The elation and the struggles filled our eyes with wisdom. Some dreams were realized here, and some were born. tws

Presbyterian Pastor Trades Resorts

Bob Henley and his wife Jane led trips to the Holy Land nearly every year while here.

PHOTO AND STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

ob Henley, pastor at the Presbyterian Church of the Big Wood for 13 years, is trading the resort town of Sun Valley for the resort town of Key Largo. Henley will leave Ketchum in March to become chaplain-in-residence at the Ocean Reef Club and Chapel in Key Largo, Fla. Tough job, huh!? But someone’s got to do it and he figured it might as well be him as he moves into the “third-third” of his life. Henley, who has served 47 years in the ministry, will be in residence at the Ocean Reef Club—the largest private club in the nation—from mid-October through mid-June. He plans on speaking weekly and conducting a men’s study at the self-contained club. He and his wife Jane, a private counselor, plan to spend the other four months in Sun Valley where their daughter Karis and her family live. Henley conducted his last service as pastor of the church on Feb. 23. Henley said one of the interesting aspects of being pastor in Sun Valley is the different rhythm of life that working in a resort such as this follows. “Ministries in other places usually experience their down time during summer as congregants go on vacation. The period between July 4 and the Jazz Festival each fall is our busy period, as people come here to vacation,” he said. Henley is known for his embracing, gregarious nature. His studies of such topics as the exodus and end times even drew members of the Jewish faith as he presented a different view of such topics as the rapture than those found in popular Christian writings. During Henley’s time here, he saw the new church building was paid off. And he saw the growth of small communities within the church, including nearly a dozen men’s groups. “Serving here was a joy, but I’m excited for this new season of our life to begin,” he said. tws

A Very Long Nap

magine this – sometime in August, when food starts to run thin, you head underground and remain there for the next eight months. You don’t eat or use the restroom; you don’t move and barely breathe; and your heart hardly beats. Your body temperature lingers right about 32° F. Think you could do it? Welcome to the world of the true hibernator! Many animals slow down for winter, and exhibit periods of rest and lowered body temperature – bears are a great example. But, while this may be the case, they also do things such as walk about from time to time, forage for food, and give birth. Quite a different picture

from the one above! True hibernators, such as the ground squirrel, are remarkable creatures. Each winter they endure all of the conditions described above. Periodically, they do warm up a little – it’s thought that they have to warm up in order to sleep (which has scientists wondering about the importance of sleep – it’s a huge energy investment to stay warm, so it must be critical). And if you have ever spent any time in a cast, or been laid up in the hospital, you can appreciate this – after months of inactivity, true hibernators wake up and get right down to the business of life – muscle mass and conditioning intact. It may come as no surprise that NASA has a keen interest in understanding how these animals have mastered their states of suspended animation! While the hibernators are out cold, other small mammals are still active. Snowshoe near water sources, or check out your own backyard, to look for their tracks!

Library Mural, A Serendipitous Fit

FREESTYLE, FROM PAGE 4

Community Mosaic

People came together from all walks of life to create this community mural. They’re already at work on another.

BY KAREN BOSSICK

ongtime Hailey librarian Alba Arndt lived to see her 100th birthday. In the process, she lived through two World Wars, JFK’s assassination, the building of the Sun Valley resort and the closing of the Hailey milliner shop when Hailey citizens decided they no longer needed a hat for every occasion. It was a pear tree that was four years older than she that provided the oasis of stability in her life as Hailey and the world around her went through rapid transformation. Angela Hicks never got to know Arndt before the former teacher passed away in 2011— eight months after her 100th birthday. But she came to know her through the pear tree as those who saw the photograph told her stories about Arndt. Hicks took a picture of the pear tree in Arndt’s former yard on 3rd Avenue while photographing Hailey’s historic trees for the Hailey Preservation Commission. And when a group of artists decided to construct a mural for the community, they picked that tree to portray in stained glass. In a serendipitous moment the stained glass piece featuring Alba’s pear tree was unveiled Tuesday night in its new place in the Hailey Public Library where Arndt served as librarian for 10 years following her retirement as a teacher. “Alba would be pleased,” said head librarian LeeAnn Gelskey, as she recalled Arndt teaching her to shelf books when Gelskey was 5 or 6. The mural project was inspired by a high school student who did a mosaic for her senior project, said Hicks. With stonemason Fred Burmester , of Hailey, leading the way, Hicks, Minna Casser, Renee Peters, Kathy Noble, Leslie Andrews, Shekinah Davies and Leslie Speck put in a thousand hours fitting together pieces of stained glass. The unveiling of the mural

took place during the library’s 95th birthday. Libraries mean far more to a community than a house of books, Hailey Mayor Fritz Haemmerle told about 50 people who assembled for the unveiling. They are a meeting place for the community and they keep the history of the community, he said. Arndt herself never saw a library until she was in high school, having grown up on a rail line south of Pocatello. But she likely would have echoed Haemmerle’s sentiments. “I grew up with a book in my hand because my father was that kind of a person,” she told a reporter in 2006 when she was inducted into the Blaine County Historical Museum’s Heritage Court. Stefanie Marvel urged those assembled to become Friends of the Library, an organization she started in 1987 by holding a party and inducting her friends into the organization. “In 1987 this was not such a great library,” she said. “It had a yearly budget of just $9,000 and Arndt brought in her copy of The Idaho Statesman after her husband finished reading it so the library would have a newspaper.” The Friends have raised money for the library with garden tours and bake and book sales. The library still needs people to fight for it, said R.L. Rowsey, Company of Fools musical director and head of the Hailey Arts and Historic Preservation Commission: “When I go into a community one of the first things I look at is the library. It says a lot about a community.” The Friends of the Library could do even more with more volunteers, said Geegee Lowe, the Friends’ acting president. To learn more, call 720-7395. Gelskey, meanwhile, indicated that the library’s future is bright. “We’ll do another birthday party in five years for our hundredth birthday,” she said. tws

Those who put together the library mural are already hard at work on a larger 4-by-6-foot community mural. This one doesn’t depict a specific tree but, rather, a community tree with leaves, birds and butterflies flitting around it. Angela Hicks said the committee is talking about doing one based on a founding father of Hailey once they’re done with this one. “Mosaic work is not difficult but there’s a lot to learn. We cut glass, for instance, with roller crimps—or we can smash the glass. The idea is to involve as many people from the community as possible in doing this,” she said. The mosaic work takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays in the basement of the building at 416 S. Main St. in Hailey. For information, call Hicks at 208-7201514 or e-mail her at monarch83340@hotmail.com

Ask Abbey Training Advice, Straight From A Dog Introducing a New Dog into the Home

his latest installment of Ask Abbey deals with introducing an additional dog into a home and helping the resident dog adapt to the new housemate. I have a lot of experience with this one… my mom works at the Animal Shelter so there was no way our home would have only one pet. I am lucky to have two siblings, both of whom were adopted at separate times (and while I love them both, adjusting to both of them took a bit of time… for all of us!) Introducing a new dog into

your home can be very stressful! Dogs have personalities, emotions and unique quirks that can sometimes result in behavior/ adjustment issues (both for the resident dog and also the new pet… and sometimes even the humans!). First things first: If you are thinking about getting a new dog (or are about to get one), introductions are super-important. Picking a place that is neutral is ideal. Choose a quiet park or another non-chaotic area that both dogs would consider neutral, with a lot of space to get to know each other in. A great way for the dogs to get to know each other is to go for a walk (both dogs on leash, parallel to each other). By having them on leashes you avoid overwhelming the dogs with a rushed, face-to-face greeting and they can calmly get acquainted with each other as they walk. Look for relaxed and loose body language and take breaks often so the dogs avoid being overwhelmed. Initial greetings don’t say everything about how the dogs will interact with each other in the home. Even if the greeting ends up with the two dogs playing and having a blast, it is still vital to manage them in their surroundings as they adjust to each other

in the new home. Be prepared for the newest addition and have a game plan ahead of time for managing the dogs. Have an idea of where you can give each dog a break and some space from each other. Disputes between animals, as they adjust, can happen in the home (even when the dogs got off on the best paw). There can be perceived items/locations/ people that a dog will consider theirs and will not want the other dog to be around them. It’s a good idea to pick up anything of high value that the dogs may perceive as something they may want to guard. Pick up stuffies, toys, bones or anything your dog enjoys (especially if you are not around to monitor the playtime). Avoid interactions in doorways, tight hallways or cramped spaces. Without the ability to move away, friction can occur very easily in these areas. Feed dogs separately and monitor them during that time so they don’t impose on the other dog while they eat. Remember to pick up the bowls afterwards, too; even empty bowls can be perceived as “high value!” Think about using a crate or barrier between seats to manage their space in the car or keeping them in separate bedrooms (when left alone) until you trust and understand the dynamic between the two dogs. Dogs should understand that the arrival of the new animal is beneficial to them. If one dog gets something it values (food, attention, etc.), the other dog should get something equally as awesome! When my parents adopted my brother and sister, as soon as they walked in the room, they would lavish me with love. If my sister got attention, I got attention! If my brother got a treat, so did I! That way (because we dogs learn through association) I figured out that having them around equaled great things for me! My parents also reversed this whenever I got attention, too; that way all the dogs in the home learned that having each other around was super-great. It’s normal for people to want to give preferential treatment to the original resident dog to show “rank” or because they don’t want it to “feel bad” or get “jealous” that there is a new dog. People may do this by giving them attention or by rewarding to reinforce the “alpha” dog. Let me tell you, it is way more important (and easy) to teach all the dogs in the house they need to be polite and patient. It’s easier for us to understand that—in order to get the things we value, we have to be courteous and patient. People often try to describe dog behavior using “people” emotions. “My dog was doing this because it was jealous” is something that multi-dog households have been commonly heard to say. Well, here’s a secret that I’ll let you in on—we don’t think like that! If you suspect that a dog is getting “jealous,” it usually means that the dog is competing to get to a resource that it values... YOU! Remember, you are the source of everything wonderful in your dog’s life: food, attention, love, cuddles, going for walks, etc. If all of a sudden there is a lapse in this, most dogs figure out, “Hey, that dog

This week’s pet of the week is the sweet & playful, Hank!

Hank was not reclaimed by his former owner and he is now ready to find a true forever home! Hank is a great young dog who is active and playful. He is good with other dogs, but it is unknown how he feels about cats. He’ll need an adopter dedicated to getting him daily exercise and continuing to work on his manners. Hank has the loyalty and smarts of a Cattle Dog, and the goofy, good natured personality of a hound. He is an interesting mix that made for an all around nice dog!

is getting the stuff I used to get so I’m going to budge my way in there to get some of it.” How do you prevent and solve this? Dogs should understand that the new dog means all great things for them (and their presence doesn’t negatively affect their life). The resident dog and the new dog should recognize that having the other in the home is mutually advantageous. So use the program I described (if one of the dogs gets something good, so does the other), but if you find that one dog is super-pushy and keeps butting in when another is getting attention, try this training program: Dog A is getting attention from their person; Dog B comes over and pushes their way in to get attention. Instead of the person getting mad or pushing the dog away with their hands (which is still attention), the person should stand up and, using their body, step into Dog B’s proximity to back them up. Once Dog B has backed away, the person should ask for a “sit” and then a “stay” from Dog B. The person should then return to Dog A and give attention to it, then go to Dog B and give that dog attention. This teaches the dogs that in order to get attention, they must be polite in order to do so. (And they can’t self-reward any time they want to.) Whew! I think I barely scratched the surface on this subject! Having multiple dogs can be really challenging (no matter who you are), so if you have any questions, please feel free to call my mom at the Animal Shelter—Hillary Hayward, 208.788.4351. Or, you can e-mail me at abbey@ animalshelterwrv.org. If you are in the mood for a great book, “Feeling Outnumbered” by Patricia McConnell is a fantastic reference for anyone with a multiple-pet home. Until next time! Pugs and Kisses, Abbey

Projects for Wow-Students

he Wood River Middle School’s Blue Team takes their participation in wowstudents very seriously, and rightfully so. The proactive spirit of both its students and teachers exemplifies the team effort and generous spirit wowstudents hopes to grow in the community as a whole.

Meet the Valley: Marcia Liebich

For the second year, the WRMS Blue Team students each researched and presented, both individually and in groups, wow-students projects to their classmates. The pitches were whittled down to seven finalists voted on by their classmates to become the 20132014 wow-students collaboration. Complete with group participation, power-point presentations and enough nerve to stand up in front of their 100+ classmates, the finalists presented projects with the nonprofits that they felt passionately about, some even shared person stories. The proposed projects included: Animal Shelter’s “Dollars for Collars”, Swiftsure Ranch’s “Sight Tube Sensory Trail Station”, St. Luke’s “Comfort Young Patients”, Hailey Ice’s “Free Skate Program” and the Hunger Coalition’s “Snack Attack.” However, winning the hearts of the students and the 2013-2014 wow-students grant was Lieder Shwartz who pitched “Native Seed Planting” with the Nature

Conservancy. Using his creativity and aptitude for the interest of his classmates, he proposed the students take a field trip out to Silver Creek to paint the beauty of the natural surroundings. The students will then sell their paintings to raise money for seeds, growth and planting of native trees and bushes in the areas affected by the Beaver Creek fire. The presentations drew plenty of support from not only the students, but the community as a whole. Spectators included the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation as

well as Kristin McMahon from St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation, who worked with Grace Doyle, Janelle Brunette, Isabelle Green and Makyla Wilson to propose a project that would help revamp Carter’s Corner, the children’s waiting room at St. Luke’s.

While observing these presentations, it was hard to not assess our own contributions to Wood River Valley. The students of the WRMS Blue Team are a shining example of growing philanthropy in the Wood River Valley.

on and I were married a week after we graduated from college. Our philanthropy has been a joint effort for almost fifty years. After five years traveling to different states while Don served as an officer in the nuclear submarine force, we settled in the Capitol region of New York State. We moved to Sun Valley twelve years ago to be near our sons and their families, both of whom live in Boise. As our six grandchildren grew older, we searched for a way to instill the values of kindness and compassion and the joys of “giving back” to their community and other parts of the world. For the past four years we have given each of our six grandchildren (and three foreign exchange students) $!00.00 at Thanksgiving and asked them to report to us over the Christmas holidays how they have donated the money. Any reporting style will do. We have had talks, an interpretive dance, a film and power points! The younger ones have tended to give locally to organizations such as Life’s Kitchen and Create Common Good in Boise. The older ones have given globally to organizations such as a school in Garbage City, Cairoj, and Room to Read in Tanzania. We have learned about human trafficking, microloans, wheelchairs and solar cooking stoves designed for the third world and so much more. We even visited the school in Garbage City two years ago. We all eagerly anticipate our evening of family sharing and we feel blessed to live together in Idaho! GET TO KNOW ‘EM • GET THEIR STATS!

Bird Hunt Added Lions Club Treats Blind Kids To Ski Festival To Afternoon Of Skating STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

“It’s kind of like a scavenger hunt,” said Karen Keiski. The 12th Annual Sawtooth Ski Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday on cross-country ski trails near Stanley. A ski and snowshoe poker run will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Park Creek Ski Area seven miles west of Stanley on Highway 21. Skiers and snowshoers will be given cards at various points along the ski trails. The one with the best poker hand will win a pair of snowshoes. An assort-

ment of homemade chili and other treats will be ladled out to all participants. A dinner benefit and silent auction will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. that night at the Stanley Community Building. Diners are asked to offer a donation for a dinner of Hungarian chicken goulash on behalf of the ski trails. Live music will accompany the event. Auction items include art, gift certificates to restaurants and businesses and a variety of homemade items, such as scarves. “We get about 250 each year at the dinner,” said Keiski. “It’s going to be delicious.” On Sunday, Keiski, who used to prepare homemade soups at Busterback Ranch, will serve up her annual Soup Kitchen Social at the Alturas Lake Ski Area, 20 miles south of Stanley on Highway 75. Participants are invited to ski or snowshoe about a mile back into the woods where the soup kitchen will be set up from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There’ll be two or three choices of homemade soups, bread, cookies and a variety of beverages available for a donation. The event usually draws about 200 people, Keiski said. “We have plenty of snow,” she added. tws Information: David or Karen Keiski at 208.774.3487.

Papa Murphy’s Grand Opening

aving been stuck at home the last six weeks with a ruptured Achilles tendon, I’ve found myself diving into films from the 1940s – specifically, the masterpieces of John Ford, Frank Capra and Preston Sturges. Maybe it’s because of this that George Clooney’s new, entertaining film The Monuments Men struck such a familiar chord. The movie has a real retro feel to it and at times seems that it could have been made in the era that it memorializes. It’s not just in the soaring music score; it’s also in the characterizations and dialogue that makes us feel that we are watching the film in the ’40s. Although it’s a very captivating two hours at the movies, its tone might be disappointing to some. The subject is certainly serious enough. During World War II the Nazis stole tens of thousands of the most valuable works of art in the world – many from museums but just as many from Jewish collectors.

countries and was in existence from 1943-1951. This movie is based on the book by Robert Edsel entitled “The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History.” In the movie, Clooney is empowered by President Roosevelt to put together a team of over-the-hill historians, artists and architects to search out Hitler’s booty. His excellent crew includes John Goodman, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Bob Balaban and Jean Dujardin who all enter Europe a month after the Normandy invasion. In Paris, Damon is helped by Cate Blanchett, who documented everything she could while the treasures passed into Nazi hands. In the end, they not only find the art but stumble into something almost as significant. If you are a lover of how ‘they used to make movies,’ then this one’s for you. tws

Filler Or Fat And More Youthful? BY DR. CRAIS

ou may recall my last article focused on the facial aging process of deflation and subsequent sag because of continuous Tom Crais microscopic loss of facial volume secondary to loss of bone, muscle, and skin mass. I discussed the facial ratios of beauty and briefly touched on the importance of appropriately located volume, and how that can best berestored for the recapturing of a more youthful appearance. The current contenders for optimal means of facial contour and ratio restoration are: 1. fillers; and 2. autologous (your own) fat. After attending the 33rd annual Cutting-Edge Facial Rejuvenation Conference in New York City, I can better illustrate the pros and cons of each method, thereby allowing each patient to decide which procedure fits their needs best. Over the last few years of writing articles for The Weekly Sun, I have often discussed the use of autologous fat for various forms of reconstruction, regeneration and rejuvenation. The benefits of using autologous fat for restoration of normal contours or near-normal outcomes revolves around the fact that it is our own tissue, with virtually no chance of “rejection” or untoward side effect. When used for rejuvenation of the face, breast or hands, it feels and looks totally normal when done correctly. And, because of growth factors and stem cells contained in the

transplanted fat, it is known to regenerate surrounding cells and rejuvenate them to near normal. Also, the duration of effect is at least seven-plus years or, most likely, much longer. The negatives associated with the use of autologous fat are primarily technical. That is to say that an operative technique, either in the office or, for larger volumes, in the hospital, is required. In any case, at least local anesthesia and probably oral sedation will be required in the office. Larger-volume transfers done in the hospital will usually require IV sedation or general anesthetic as an outpatient same-day surgery. The fat is usually obtained by using syringe suction aspiration from an area of fat adequacy. After minimal processing (centrifugation and separation), the stem cell/growth-factor-rich portion is then meticulously injected with blunt cannulae (small tubes). Facial and hand rejuvenation usually requires small to moderate amounts of fat, whereasbreast enhancements require much larger amounts of fat transfer. Post-operative recovery requires restricted activities for at least seven days. Complete lack of “take” of the fat graft is rare; however, reinjection necessity is always possible, and frequently is anticipated. Other complications, such as bleeding or infection, are also rare. Bruising of varying amounts most always occurs, but resolves in 7-14 days. Contour irregularities occur, but are most often minimal and may require revision. Both fillers and fat have been most infrequently reported to have severe functional and deforming results. These unacceptable outcomes most often

are operator ability, experience and lack of understanding and/ or training related. Over many years of fat and filler injections, I have not personally experienced any severe/unacceptable results or complications. I continue to remain always vigilant and in a never-ending learning mode. Fillers’ primary benefit is that it is easily available from “a bottle on the shelf.” There is no need for an operative surgical procedure nor more than minimal topical or local anesthetic. Bruising is normally minimal to none. The results are apparent immediately,most often resulting in patient exclaims such as “Wow!” Contours are usually excellent. The procedure is usually completed in 15-30 minutes. There is no “down time.” Infection and bleeding, although infrequent, have never occurred in my experience, but it is always possible. Precise improvement may be easier to acquire using fillers, and reversal or revision is usually easily done in the office. Filler negatives focus primarily on its being temporary, usually for 1-2 years depending on the filler. Voluma and Sculptra last up to two years. Voluma, however, is reversible, whereas Sculptra is not; that places a most significant advantage with Voluma. Fillers also have no rejuvenative effect on local tissue such as skin. In closing, each individual is given the opportunity to choose which modality suits them best. Both options allow for usually outstanding results when done by competent, caring, welltrained certified clinicians. Although, as with many cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, serious complications can occur, they are very rare when done correctly.
