Holdings Announce Lodge Renovation

Christina Tindle’s 101 THRIVE

BY KAREN BOSSICK The historic Sun Valley Lodge will close for nine months beginning in September 2014 in order to build a full-service spa, expanded guest rooms and refurbished lobby. The Lodge Dining Room, which has hosted countless Hollywood celebrities and luxurious ballroom dances over the years, will be folded into the new spa. “It’s very scary to shut the lodge down,” said Carol Holding, who bought the lodge and other Sun Valley properties with her late husband Earl 37 years ago. But, she told those attending a briefing on the project, “It’s so wonderful to have your support and know that what we want for Sun Valley is what you want. “Sun Valley’s just special and that’s how we feel about it. We’ll need all your help and cooperation to get this done and it won’t be easy!” About 30 people attended the meeting held at the lodge, including Grand America Hotels CEO Bruce Fery, several Sun Valley executives and representatives of Sustain Blaine, Wood River Economic Partnership, Fly Sun Valley Alliance, Friedman Memorial Airport and the cities of Ketchum and Sun Valley. Also attending were principal architects Nick Latham and Jim Ruscitto and project architect Michael Bulls. Stephen Holding made the lion’s share of the presentation in what was his first major public presentation here. He said his family had been considering venues for six years before concluding that the lodge was a natural location. The design they finally signed off on will maintain the character of the historic building that was designed in 1935 by Stanley Underwood, the architect who designed lodges in Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Bryce Canyon and other national parks. Work will begin in April on a three-story, 20,000-square-foot addition on the White Clouds side of the lodge. It will have its own entrance at the front side of the lodge so Valley residents can access the spa without having to go through the lodge. About 5,000 additional square feet contained in a wing of the lodge that was emptied when housekeeping moved to the new Sun Valley Laundromat will be incorporated into the new facility, as will the Lodge Dining Room.

to be an actor. But his parents had spent a lot of money to train him as an elite jumper. Once the young man was able to admit his real dream and his family made peace with it, he blossomed, Tindle said. He competed two more seasons, got to the Olympics where he did “really well,” then he went into acting. Another of Tindle’s clients was a speed skier who was traumatized by an

“Olympians need results. They need to perform under stress. They need to feel confident. Talking about what happened when they were three didn’t help, so I got into positive psychology,” -Tindle Her work in that regard even pushed her into the arena of positive psychology, which she has subsequently used with people from all walks of life. “Olympians need results. They need to perform under stress. They need to feel confident. Talking about what happened when they were three didn’t help, so I got into positive psychology,” Tindle said.

accident. Her coaches enlisted Tindle’s help after they saw their star skier shaking when she returned to the top of the mountain. Tindle did relaxation, hypnosis and talk therapy with the skier. She even went to the top of the mountain with her, enlisting visualization to get her down the top third of the mountain, then the next third and finally all the way down. “The key is taking their passion and translating it to performance. They’ve got the physical ability. What they need work on is the mind game,” she said.

Being all that you can be is not a selfish point of view but simply a way to do the most with what you have in terms of passion and skill, Tindle says. She turned that idea on herself when she decided she was spending too much time driving. She decided to get her pilot’s license, even though she was afraid of heights. “I climbed in the cockpit that first time and laughed at myself—I couldn’t even breathe. I thought, how irrational could I be?! Then I learned that many pilots have a fear of heights. But in the cockpit we feel safe. We’re in control—we think,” said Tindle, who moved to Idaho because there were no backcountry air strips in Colorado.

Skiing With Angels, A Distinctive Way Of Life Andrea Walton, a rep of Coldwell Banker, and her significant other heading up Baldy for a few runs.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JENNIFER SIMPSON

pproximately four years ago, Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties started a program called “Distinctive Angels,” playing off of the company’s main name of Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties, and implying the angels are the agents and clients who participate in organized volunteer events by the local offices. Each month a different non-profit organization is chosen, and the local Coldwell office team goes out and performs a variety of tasks. Some of the tasks include putting up the shade cloths over outdoor pens at the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley in the spring; setting up and tearing down at fundraising events; working at the soup kitchen; getting involved with the Sun Valley Wellness Festival; and helping with Higher Ground programs. One of the core values of Coldwell Banker is community service, and our local Sun Valley office emulates that mission clearly. This is the first year the local Coldwell Banker office has hosted a “ski day” event, purchasing day lift passes for agents and clients alike. Our local Coldwell Banker team decided to invite representatives of each of the non-profit organizations they volunteer for, and allow them to “man” a tent, while giving them an opportunity to promote their specific organizations and programs. It was a bit overcast and chilly in the morning at the base of River Run, but by afternoon the clouds had parted and a few rays of sunshine lit up the event. To name a few, Heidi Cook from The Advocates, Brittany Farrel from the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, and Erin Rheinschild, director of philanthropy for Higher Ground Sun Valley, all brought out information and were there mingling with the public and each other. “Recently, The Advocates have started to keep track of walkins, people looking for support or assistance. Whether it is for food, bilingual services or other services, our average number is fifty-five people per day,” stated Heidi Cook, community educator for The Advocates. “We also provide prevention education for first through 12th grades on a weekly basis. Every single first-grader learns about safety in the home, every fifth-grader is educated about bullying, and eighth-graders have an opportunity to talk about what makes a healthy relationship,” Cook added. Cook also went on to describe how instrumental the Coldwell Banker office has been with annual fundraisers, such as the Carbonate Hill Climb, where they come and help set up and tear down for the event. This year, a Black Tie Soiree will take place as it is still unknown whether or not an event on Carbonate will be possible. With this year being the first year for the “Ski with Angels” event, numbers were anticipated to be slightly lower. However,

Conklin was shocked when over 200 people RSVP’d or entered the drawing for a spot in “Ski with Angels.” It was a great turnout, with lots of people not just inquiring about the drawing, but learning about how they can give back to the community. Todd Conklin, Broker at Coldwell Banker, said, “The Coldwell Angels’ goal for this year is to have the client, non-agents, volunteer time to eclipse the agents’

“The Coldwell Angels’ goal for this year is to have the client, non-agents, volunteer time to eclipse the agents’ volunteer hours.” -Todd Conklin volunteer hours.” It appears that they are on a great start to meeting that goal! When speaking with Conklin and other representatives of the local office, it was obvious that being a “Distinctive Angel” is not something they are striving for—it’s already a way of life for them. Each rep was passionate about the non-profits they have suggested at the monthly meetings and, in general, just passionate about all the non-profits in the Valley. “Higher Ground is the closest to my heart, and I have worked with them for about four years now,” said Jamie Briscoe, managing director of Coldwell Banker. “Coming from a military family, organizing and working fly-fishing events for veterans is important to me.” Briscoe added, “Look for more events like ‘Ski with Angels’ from us. This is just the beginning of more to come!” Conklin also noted that not only the giving of money to the non-profits is important, but also the man-hours. Theresa Pemberton, director of operations and finance for our local Coldwell Banker office, confirmed this. “This is what being a ‘Distinctive Angel’ is all about—giving back to the community.” After all, in the words of Conklin, “Sometimes we are all that close to being in that ‘spot,’ where the untouchable becomes touchable. All it takes is the loss of a job, and you might need some help. It’s humbling to work at the soup kitchen and see someone you know.” That’s

some serious truth in this day and age. Back to the “Ski with Angels” event that happened last Saturday at the base of River Run. What does this all mean, and how does this interpret into being something special and different for the community? Well, Coldwell Banker is showing their support for Fly Sun Valley through hosting these types of corporate ski events at Sun Valley; Fly Sun Valley Alliance is a non-profit that is also responsible for bringing in

new air service to the community. Along with this, our local Coldwell Banker agents are not just giving volunteer man-hours, but they are recruiting more volunteers and creating a bridge between people who want to volunteer, who might not know how or who to contact, to the local non-profit organizations. Briscoe left this on the table: “‘Distinctive Angels recognize who they are reaching out to, who the real beneficiaries are.” Coldwell Banker would also like to thank Sturtevant’s for

t’s been called “a superbly crafted laugh machine… timeless in delivering delectable comeuppance to a viper’s nest of idle-rich gossipmongers.” And its scandal, gossip and intrigue reflect what you’ll find between the covers of the “National Enquirer.” The Community School Players will perform Richard Sheridan’s “School for Scandal,” as adapted for contemporary audiences by Lewis John Carlino, Thursday through Saturday. Performances start at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at the Community School off Dollar Road in Sun Valley. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for

“The play has a kind of lofty feeling with outrageous characters, heightened dramatic, witty language.” students. The comedy, which was first performed at London’s Drury Lane Theater in 1777, is not about a school at all. Instead, it refers to the inner workings of 1700s London society. Lady Sneerwell, a wealthy young widow and a young respectable man are plotting to alienate another young woman from her current beau by putting out rumors of an affair between that young man and Sir Peter Teazle’s new wife, Lady Teazle. And that’s just the beginning... “The play has a kind of lofty feeling with outrageous characters, heightened dramatic, witty

language. Everything’s done with a flourish, from how they talk to how they walk to the outlandish clothing and hair they wear,” said Keith Moore, who is directing the play with his wife Patsy Wygle. Moore and Wygle had entertained the notion of doing a Shakespeare play but fell in love with “School for Scandal,” which is performed regularly more than two centuries after its debut. They say the play is the perfect comeback from “Grease,” the last production the students produced. There they played characters their own age with the kind of teenage angst they may well have experienced in their own lives. This production challenges them to handle more complicated and dramatic language. “In this play not only are they handling complex language but they are immersing themselves in characters who are culturally, physically and emotionally very different from themselves. At the same time, they’re having a blast delving into their 18th-century manners and psyches,” said Wygle. The cast features Taylor Adler, Brooke Allen, Jolie Blair, Tara Burchmore, Tess Burchmore, Izzy Caraluzzi, Pierson Carlsen, Chloe Chrysikopolous, Hannah Dies, Alex Harten, Clara Lima, Evan Marks, Kendall Piggins, Arielle Rawlings, Sam Rogers, Reed Roudabush, Landon Schely, Tara Smith, Addie Stireman, Drake Vernoy, Remy Vernoy, Keegan Whitelaw, Nick Wright and Jamie Wygle.

Student Spotlight: Jon Scott: Academic Excellence

BY JONATHAN KANE

Jon Scott, a Wood River High School junior, excels at academics. Proof of this is that he maintains a weighted 4.5 grade point average and is vice president of National Honor Society. In his workload, Scott has taken Advanced Placement U.S. history, language and composition, biology and calculus. “My favorite subjects are math and science,” he said. “When the two of them mix together, it’s the best. Math is rules and it’s very predictable. There is always a right answer. In science, you try to understand the world around us and science does that. You can learn something in class and apply it to the world in a practical manner.” Born in the Wood River Valley, Scott spent two years living outside Memphis, Tenn., when he was very young. “The climate was really different there but what I remember it for most is that is where I fell in love with playing soccer and that changed my life. Basically, it got me off the couch and I started making friends.” Scott has played varsity soccer all three years at Wood River and they have gone to state twice, finishing second last year. “My position is sweeper, who essentially controls the defense. When I started, the coaches felt I had talent and they trusted me so they felt I was reliable in the backfield. Of course, playing defense is not as much fun as scoring but I know my role on the team and I fulfill it.” He also plays on the basketball team. “I guess I prefer team sports. There is a lot of support and the social environment just makes it more fun. I love soccer because of the shape it gets you into and that it requires teamwork. When I first moved to Tennessee I lost all my childhood friends and then I had a lot of friends through soccer.” Scott has nothing but great things to say about growing up here. “It’s quiet and calm and I really like that. Everyone knows your story and everyone’s

your neighbor but it can be a double-edged sword because if something bad happens, you can really be judged. Also, I really didn’t enjoy snow that much until this year when a friend and I taught ourselves how to snowboard. We fell down a lot but on our second day we made it to Baldy. It was a real challenge but we tackled it together and turned it into a skill.” Scott is now completing his junior year at Wood River. “I love it there and I think it’s an outstanding school and it’s been really great for me, especially because I take the classes that I choose and structure my schedule like I want.” Right now, in addition to the A.P. classes, Scott is taking advanced computer gaming, Spanish and certified nursing as part of medical technology. “I think my future will probably be in programming or medicine but it would be great to combine both. I want to help people and both fields could literally change lives.” tws

Holy Cow! Far Out! Kaitlyn’s Celebration Is All Of That And More Farrington started her day out by riding with local families... Photo By Jennfier Simpson

STORY BY KAREN BOSSICK

un Valley renamed a bowl for its newest golden girl. And Bellevue—a town with no stoplight but two Olympic gold medalists—named its bike path Kaitlyn Farrington’s Way

Saturday in honor of the champion halfpipe snowboarder. “It’s amazing how many people came out today to celebrate me,” the 24-year-old Bellevue snowboarder told a couple thousand cheering people at a celebration in her honor Saturday afternoon outside Warm Springs Lodge. “Thank you, guys, for coming out and supporting me through my journey and helping me get to the Olympics and being around for everything. It’s been an amazing experience and I’m glad I got to share it all with you guys.” The party, televised live by Boise’s KTVB-TV, kicked off with Sun Valley ski instructors carrying U.S. flags skiing figure eights down Lower Warm Springs. They were followed by members of the Sun Valley snowboard team, former U.S. Olympic Coaches Ruben Macaya, Michel Rudigoz and Ben Verge and several local Olympians, including Susie Corrock, Reggie Crist, Chuck Ferries, Abbi-Fisher-Gould, Jonna Mendes and Sondra Van Ert. Finally, Farrington made her appearance with Team Farrington, which included her sister Jessalyn Scheinberg and Farrington’s snowboarding mentor Barrett Christy. Carrying a small American flag, Farrington did a little hop over one of the piles of snow at the bottom of a snow gun, kicked off her snowboard and was carried to the stage on the shoulders of Sun Valley Ski Patrolmen. “When you think about the odds…not only competing in an Olympics but getting a gold medal…how do you do it? …The gall has got grit,” Jody Zarkos

told the crowd on behalf of the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, which got the first crack at training the Olympic medalist when she took up snowboarding 13 years ago. A long line of speakers followed, including State Sen. Michelle Stennett, who read resolutions and proclamations from the Idaho Legislature and Gov. Butch Otter, and Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas, who told Farrington, “You embody everything we hope and try to be.” Bellevue Mayor Chris Koch told Farrington that her hometown didn’t have much vertical to name after her but it did have a bike path running through it, which will now be known as Kaitlyn Farrington Way—a play on Kaitlyn’s longstanding habit of doing things her way. Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation Director Rob Clayton presented Farrington with a paddleboard, which he said he expects her to learn how to do an inverted 1080 on. And he praised her for the genuine way she has handled her newfound fame. Then he challenged hundreds of young skiers and snowboarders pressed against the stage: “What’s hanging around her neck can hang around yours, too. It might be from a different country, but it can be the same color.”

it almost as much as the gold medal around her neck. Sun Valley Resort presented Farrington with a lifetime ski pass, a round of golf—and lessons—for herself and friends, along with some gold golf balls and a note from Sun Valley Owner Carol Holding praising Farrington as “an amazing example of a local girl who developed her talents to the fullest. “By pursuing your dream you also have inspired others to reach for the stars,” Carol Holding wrote. Finally, Sun Valley’s General Manager Tim Silva presented Farrington with a long rectangular-shaped package wrapped in gold paper. The blue ski sign was emblazoned with “Kaitlyn’s Bowl” and a black diamond. “Anyone remember where Far Out Bowl used to be? Now, it’s Kaitlyn’s Bowl,” said Silva. Silva said following the ceremony that Sun Valley was unable to match Farrington’s hopes for renaming Broadway run “Kaitlyn’s Way” because it was one of those iconic names enshrined in Andy Hennig’s guide to area ski runs, which is considered a bible. There are some names, such as Exhibition and Limelight, that can never be changed, he added. “ Far Out is close to the other runs named for Olympic medalists,” he said. “It’s a good one with which to honor her.” Saturday’s après ski party capped a busy week of celebration for Farrington that began with a 2.5-hour parade through Bellevue, Hailey and Ketchum following her arrival Monday at Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey. She didn’t need to work out at the gym—the constant demand of people wanting her to pose for pictures and sign autographs at events like a National Brotherhood of Skiers

After The Disco

cook-out kept her jumping out of her chair. She headed out Sunday for the Oscars, where she was to be a guest at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. She will end her season in the halfpipe this coming week at the U.S. Open in Vail, Colo. Farrington’s snowboarding mentor—1998 Olympian Barrett Christy--said that the level of women in snowboarding has grown—and Kaitlyn’s responsible for that. Farrington’s Olympic run was “the best run I’ve seen in snowboarding yet,” she said. “You can learn skills but what you can’t learn is attitude. That’s what Kaitlyn’s got –a beautiful ,happy attitude. And she’s got style!” Christy added. Ski Education Foundation’s Rob Clayton said that Farrington is “just the best thing that could happen to the valley.” “It’s been a long time coming and to come in as an underdog and leave as a favorite—congratulations to her. And what a great person!” he said. William DeWolfe, a young ski racer with the Sun Valley program, said she has inspired him to do better. “I was really inspired by how hard she pushed to make it,” he said tws

Kaitlyn Farrington has been all the buzz around Sun Valley for the past two weeks. But she wasn’t the only athlete who represented the valley in Sochi: Hilary Knight scored the first goal of the Olympics for Team USA. The women’s hockey team won a silver medal, narrowly losing to Canada in the gold medal round. Simi Hamilton, who trained with the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, placed sixth in the men’s Nordic team sprint classic and 11th in the men’s 4x10-k relay. And Hailey’s, Jasmine Campbell not only carried the flag for the U.S. Virgin Islands where she was born, but competed in the Women’s Giant Slalom and Women’s Slalom, where she placed 53rd and 43rd respectively.

Broken Bells newest album, After The Disco, is their 2nd studio album. It was released February 4th of 2014 and peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200. Broken Bells are an indie/alternative rock/space rock band from Los Angeles. The two main members of the band are Brian Burton, AKA Danger Mouse, and James Mercer lead guitarist and vocalist for The Shins. Burton is also the producer for the band. During the production of the album they used the seventeen-piece Angel City Orchestra, and a four piece choir. With all the different styles of instruments in collaboration, it is a very experimental and melodic album. I loved the album and I’d recommend to anyone.

There will be an exercise room with state-of-theart aerobic and strengthening equipment, beauty salon, steam and sauna facilities, a yoga studio, relaxation lounge, and 15 treatment rooms, including four couples treatment rooms. The pool will be rebuilt with an expanded pool deck and garden. The service entrance will be located underground. Sun Valley’s current spa contains five treatment rooms. “People come here for fishing, hiking and all the other amenities we offer. I don’t think many come here for the spa. We hope to change that,” said Stephen Holding, noting that his family’s Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City started with four treatment rooms and now has 17. Some of the smaller lodge rooms will be combined to create suites with sitting rooms, fireplaces and expanded bathrooms with showers, baths and vanity areas. Room 206, where Ernest

Let’s produce a product that will make people want to come here,” Holding said. Carol Holding said no one loved the Lodge Dining Room more than her late husband Earl, who put “tons” of money into it. But it didn’t make sense to keep it open financially as diners’ tastes have shifted to Trail Creek Cabin, The Konditorei and other venues. “We had it open for three or four months this year and it drew 50 people in a week, if we were lucky,” she said. Ketchum Mayor Nina Jonas thanked the Holdings for honoring the building and its history and Sun Valley Mayor Dewayne Briscoe noted that the project shows the Holdings’ ongoing commitment to Sun Valley. “This is an incredible undertaking. I think it will be an incredible asset for our community,” added Arlene Schieven, who heads up the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance.

Hemingway wrote “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” will be refurbished to give it more of an authentic historical flavor “where you can just see Hemingway typing there,” Carol Holding added. The number of rooms will decrease from 148 to about 100 but the number of pillows may stay the same due to sleeper sofas and other amenities. Stephen Holding said some of Sun Valley’s guests would be willing to pay two or three times what they have been paying for rooms like these. “We have not had a luxury product to offer. We think these are rooms that will compete with any resort rooms out there,” he said. The Holdings plan to enhance the bowling alley with a small café and elevator and open up the lobby to offer better views of the ice rink and Baldy. Holding said the closure of the lodge may prove a strain during Christmas and Presidents’ Day Week, but he was confident that Sun Valley and other lodging owners can accommodate those who want to come to Sun Valley the remain-

Big Smiles From The National Brotherhood Members of the Sugar and Spice Snow and Social Club posed for a picture in their pink and Mardi Gras beads.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

he eyes of those in Bonnie Wetmore’s ski class grew wide as they watched the man from St. Louis go straight down Upper College like a kamikaze pilot. His back was rounded as he tried to figure out how to use his skis to brake. His hands were up over his head, clutching his ski poles. But he had a big grin on his face, as he finally spun around at the intersection of Upper College and Lower College, crashing to the ground. “I couldn’t make my skis turn!” laughed Willard Payne. Payne picked himself up and, with an onlooker’s help, slowly started linking controlled turns on Lower College. He and his big grin were familiar sights around Bald Mountain and River Run Lodge this past week as some 800 members of the National Brotherhood of Skiers and their hangers-on affectionately called The Renegades played and partied for a week in Sun Valley. The contingent was expected to drop a half-million dollars in the community as they made

their way from skiing to a pub crawl, Mardi Gras party and even an REI-sponsored scavenger hunt that had them snowshoeing at Atkinson Park, setting up a tent and matching the clue “Pony Express” to Ketchum’s UPS.

“I’m amazed by how friendly everyone in this valley has been. Just amazing friendliness,” said Ollie Barnes of Kalamazoo, Mich. “I’m amazed by how friendly everyone in this valley has been. Just amazing friendliness,” said Ollie Barnes of Kalamazoo, Mich. Among those attending the gathering was 77-year-old Art Clay, a retired child abuse investigator from Chicago who co-founded NBS. He was trip director for the Sno-Gophers Ski Club of Chicago when he and the president of a Los Angeles ski club brought together 350 African-American

skiers from 13 black ski clubs for “A Happening” in Aspen in 1973. More than 750 skiers attended the group’s first Black Summit in Sun Valley in 1975. “Back then it was a white man’s sport. I took it up because I liked to camp during the summer and just ran out of things to do. I found it cheaper to ski on a weekend than drink in a bar. And I found the women on a ski trip were always more beautiful than the ones in a bar,” Clay quipped. Today, the NBS has about 3,000 members in 60 ski clubs across the United States. But black skiers still comprise less than 20 percent of all skiers and snowboarders. It introduces 100,000 black youth to winter sports each year. And members dream of the day one of their own will compete for the United States in the Olympics. Ralph Green, a standup amputee, will compete in the giant slalom, super-G and slalom at the 2014 Paralympics in Sochi. And freestyle skier Zyre Austin just missed making the U.S. Ski Team. Last week Austin and other Team NBS members ate hamburgers with Kaitlyn Farrington, the Sun Valley boarder who struck gold in the halfpipe at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. “Oh, you got the medal. I didn’t get to see you win,” confessed Austin as she suddenly realized who she was sitting next to. “That’s okay,” said Farrington. “Do I have brownies on my teeth?” she asked as she posed for a picture with the athletes. Austin said being on the NBS team has given her a chance to show black kids that they can excel in skiing: “I’m half-black, half-white, and there’s not a lot of people in the ski industry of different descent. So I think it’s neat to stand up and say, ‘Hey, there are others.” Fifteen-year-old Taariq Saffouri said the NBS has given him the financial support he needs to pursue slopestyle snowboarding: “It’s taken me to so many new places I never would have gone otherwise. Like Sun Valley—I’ll be coming back here, for sure.” Demond Sargeant said he hoped the group would be back soon: “Your blue runs are harder than other blues I’ve been on— they’re steeper. But your runs are long and I like that. When I come down my heart is beating and my lungs are racing. And I like that.” tws

Conserve Larsen Wins Water In Canine Challenge The Home

BY KAREN BOSSICK

Wood River High School freshman Julia Larsen won the six-dog adult class race at the Canine Challenge in Logan, Utah, last weekend. The young dog musher raced through blowing snow and high winds in a blizzard that dumped about a foot of snow in northern Utah. “It’s a big deal for her since she was a teen-ager competing in an adult class,” said her mother Linda Larsen. Larsen will compete in the 2014 Stanley Sled Dog Rendezvous Saturday and Sunday. Competition consists of four-dog, six-dog and eight-dog teams and

races go from 20 miles or 48. The fifth annual rendezvous kicks off at 8:30 a.m. each day. Four-dog races are at 12:30 on Saturday and 11:30 on Sunday and junior races start at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The start and finish are easy to watch because teams head out every two minutes from the area behind the motel at the junction of Highway 75 and Highway 20. They go downhill, across the river and north from there. Spectators can watch their last half-mile in the same area as they come back. Typically, Julia’s races last 35 minutes to an hour, Linda Larsen said. tws

ater conservation has become an essential practice in all regions. Conserving water not only saves you money on your utility bill, it also helps prevent water pollution in nearby lakes, rivers and watersheds. Conserving water can extend the life of your septic system by reducing soil saturation and reducing any pollution to leaks. Overloading municipal sewer systems can also cause untreated sewage to flow into lakes and rivers. The smaller amount of water flowing through these systems, the lower the likelihood of pollution. Here are a few things you can do to conserve water in your home: Check faucets and pipes for leaks. A small drip from a worn faucet washer can waste 20 gallons of water per day. Check your toilet for leaks. Put a little food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the color begins to appear in the bowl within 30 minutes, you have a leak that should be repaired immediately. Replace older, larger-use toilets with the newer, higher-efficiency toilets. You can save .5 to five gallons per flush. Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators. Bathroom use accounts for 75 percent of the water used inside the home. Installing a low-flow showerhead can save two gallons of water per minute. Take shorter showers and save baths for special occasions. Water your lawn or garden when the sun is down. No sun and less wind means that water reaches the roots of your plants instead of evaporating before it hits the ground. Use low-angle sprinklers that produce droplets of water. Sprinklers that spray water high into the air or produce a mist lose water through evaporation. Use drip irrigation for shrub beds, gardens and trees. Drip irrigation systems apply water directly to the root, where it does the most good and reduces water loss from evaporation. Water-saving tips and information is available at the Blaine County Extension office.

Pid Purdy BY CHRIS MILLSPAUGH

ere’s an amazing fact for you. Bud Purdy’s brother, “Pid,” was one of the first athletes to play both professional football in the National Football League and Major League Baseball in the National League. At 5 feet, 6 inches, and 150 pounds, Pid played outfield for the Chicago White Sox (1926) and the Cincinnati Reds (19271929), compiling a .292 batting average. He batted left-handed and threw right-handed and hit .328 in 1,437 Minor League games before he was promoted to the Majors. With those kinds of stats, he would be making millions of dollars today. Meanwhile, in 1926 and 1927 he also played for the Green Bay Packers, performing as a kicker and a punter. How many shaving commercials could he have been making this year? Only Deion Saunders and Bo Jackson come to mind as two professional sport athletes who succeeded in two major league sports in our modern times. This guy Purdy was something special. He and Bud grew up in Beatrice, Neb. Pid died in 1951 at the age of 46. Bud just keeps on going in his nineties as a rancher and benefactor of the environment in Picabo, Idaho. Right now, we’re in between the professional football and baseball seasons so it’s gratifying to look back and discover

that one of our own locals had a relative who was one of very few athletes who achieved this status. Pid Purdy was for real and so is Bud Purdy, who I call a dear friend. Many believe that Bud’s son, Nick, could have done equally well in professional sports had he not chosen to stay with the family business. Projecting further, Nick might be managing my favorite team, the Seattle Mariners, this season. But then, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Rumor has it that Bud in his youth was an accomplished dancer and could have easily won today’s “Dancing with the Stars.” But that’s another story, and besides, he has a bum hip right now. On the other hand, Nick and his lovely wife Sharon have a fine song-and-dance act worthy of being finalists on “American Idol.” In the Wood River Valley, you never really know the past talents of your neighbors and their families. I mean, look at Gary Farrington’s kid. That’s why we’re all so close. Nice talking to you. tws

n the superb new film, Dallas Buyers Club (just released on DVD), we have one of the most moving movies about the AIDS epidemic that rocked the world in the ’80s and ’90s ever put on celluloid. Part of its power is that it is the true story of Ron Woodruff, a womanizing, drug-abusing, Texan electrician, homophobe and rodeo rider that contracted the disease in 1985 and was given one month to live. That he turned it into seven years is remarkable. But what’s really remarkable are the two performances delivered by the film’s leads – Mathew McConaughey and Jared Leto. McConaughey burst upon the scene with his memorable performance in Dazed and Confused that had people thinking about the young Paul Newman. What followed, though, was a tremendous disappointment as he chose the path of big Hollywood star that led him to being the romantic lead in horrible romantic comedies. That changed two years ago with his immersion in great parts in smaller films like Magic Mike, Bernie, a scene-stealing appearance in Wolf of Wall Street and the excellent Mud. Here, he has lost 47 pounds and turned

in the most charismatic and heartbreaking performance of his career that could easily steal the Oscar for Best Performance. Equally great is Leto, who transforms himself into the transsexual who eventually becomes Woodruff’s partner. Besides being a personal portrait, the film also tells the political story of Woodruff’s battle with the FDA to cure his disease with drugs and vitamins not approved by the government, instead of AZT, which has a detrimental effect on patients but is the darling of big pharmaceuticals. The title is based on the club that Woodruff started to supply illegal drugs with a membership to those suffering. The story is beautifully told under the direction of Jean Marc Vallee and a wonderful script by Craig Borten and Melisa Walleck. Along with McConaughey and Leto, they have made one of the best pictures of the year. tws

Former Iconoclast Books employee Brienne Mabry is featured in the book. And proceeds will benefit the Swiftsure Ranch Therapeutic Equestrian Center in Bellevue. The emperor, played by Chris Carwithen, can’t make a move without his mother, played by Cherie Kessler.

Matt Gorby, flanked by Sara Gorby and Kristy Kuntz, has a cool suit up his sleeve.

“Cool Suit” See It... Or Not STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

You probably remember it as “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” In the hands of five entertaining thespians, it’s been renamed “Cool Suit” and set to the beat of such songs as “YMCA,” “Money (That’s What I Want)” and “Who Let the Dogs Out.” But the moral of the 45-minutes play performed by St. Thomas Playhouse’s annual Children’s Theater Tour remains the same as the original—that is, how important it is to think for yourself and not follow the crowd. The play has two remaining public performances: Thursday in Hailey and Saturday in Ketchum. Chris Carwithen has taken some of the mannerisms he cultivated as Snoopy for the Company of Fools play “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” in his portrayal of a vain, mother’s boy of an emperor. “He’s a royal jerk,” raps town crier Sara Gorby out of the earshot of Queen Mother played by Cherie Kessler. “He deserves to be unseated, but it’s gonna take some work.” Matt Gorby plays the clever townsperson who disguises himself as a tailor who makes “cool suits” out of magical fabrics. Only those who are smart, talented and good-looking are able to see the suit. Those who are unworthy cannot see it, he adds. “This is gonna be the talk of the town…cool suit,” he sings in an aside to the audience. Of course, no one will admit that they see nothing on the clothes hanger—not even the king’s trusted confidante, played by Kristy Kuntz. But eventually one honest little boy points out, “The emperor is wearing no clothes,” aided by all the children in the audience. This is the seventh year St. Thomas Playhouse has taken its imaginative musicals based on favorite children’s fables on the road. Other humorous musical adaptations have included “Goldilocks,” “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Stone Soup.” “Cool Suit” has two more public appearances: at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Hailey Public Library and 2 p.m. Saturday at Iconoclast Books in Ketchum. Admission is free. Information: Cherie or Sara at 726-5349. tws

Snowshoeing on the Moon Despite a low snow year, Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve’s Winter Snow School Program continues to grow in popularity. This winter over 1100 Idaho school children from kindergarten to high school visited the park to learn about how the plants and animals survive the cold winters in this harsh environment. “The winter snowshoe program has become a rite of passage for Southern Idaho school children,” said Ted Stout, Chief of Interpretation and Education. For more than a decade park staff have offered winter snowshoe excursions that provide the public with an opportunity to explore this volcanic landscape in winter. These popular weekend events allow visitors to learn about how plants and animals have adapted to winter’s snows and also how the snow provides essential moisture for plants, animals and people throughout the region. Thanks to a generous donation of snowshoes from the Winter Wildlands Alliance’s Snow School program, park staff extended the snowshoe program to educational groups in 2006. Park staff are currently wrapping up a three year project to develop new curriculum materials and provide transportation support for school groups paid for by park recreation fees and grants from the National Park Foundation.   For more information, contact ted_stout@nps.gov or (208)527-1330

Fishing R epoRt THE “WEEKLY” FISHING REPORT FOR MAR. 5 FROM PICABO ANGLER

arch is the best month of the year for anglers that enjoy catch rate first and foremost. It is also an excellent time of the season to learn how to fly fish! The beginner angler benefits from a few things. First, there just aren’t really any other insects besides Midges. This means anglers don’t have to worry about matching the hatch, thus taking a bit of confusion from the sport. Anglers can simply come to the fly shop and ask for a few of our favorite Midge patterns. Second, the fish are in pre-spawn mode and they are hungry. For anglers learning to fish, one of the hardest things to pick up on is how to fight a fish with a fly rod. We can listen to instruction until the cows come home, but really the only way to learn to fight fish is to fight fish. In March the fishing is fast and furious enough that beginners are able to hook fish with some frequency and thus they are given the opportunity by the fish to work on this skill set. The ease and user friendly nature of fishing cannot be overstated this month. The fishing on the Big Wood is excellent right now, and a first time angler with a little advice is going to catch fish here. Try basic Midge patterns like Zebra Nymphs and Brassies. If the fish are rising try a tie down Midge. Rising fish may be a bit harder for a beginner as the tippet is finer and the accuracy of presentation paramount. Silver Creek is closed for all fishing and will remained closed until May 24th. Circle that date on your calendar as Picabo Angler will host our annual opening day celebration down here on Silver Creek. Coupled with the Nature Conservancy Barbeque its many anglers favorite day of the season! The South Fork of the Boise remains open for catch and release fishing through March. The Midge activity here can run hot and cold, so don’t be discouraged after a tough day, just try again when you can! The fishing below Magic Dam can be incredible this time of the year and we would encourage experienced anglers to check out this water. The BWO action can ramp up here late in the month or on calm overcast days. Most importantly March is awesome fishing! Get out there and enjoy before the season closes at the end of the month! Happy Fishing Everyone!

Family Of Woman Film Festival Sawtooth Ski Fest! Freida Lee Mock Barbara Morgan

BY KAREN BOSSICK

eremy Teicher was 22 and a teacher at a village school in Senegal when he decided to tell the story of young girls who are forced into early marriage, thereby ending their opportunity to get an education. He filmed it on a shoestring budget, transporting his equipment on horse carts across unpaved roads to a village with no electricity or running water. He found a traditional musician who played a traditional West African 21-string Kora harp to provide the background music for the film, which captures the rhythms of life in a rural African village where meals are cooked over open fires and water drawn from wells. And the film—the first international film to feature the colloquial Pulaar language of West Africa—went on to screen at top film festivals around the world. It is being released in the United States by the Sundance Institute and on Saturday it will be shown at the seventh annual Family of Woman Film Festival at the Sun Valley Opera House. The film dovetails perfectly with the theme of this year’s festival, which is education. “Last year our theme was women and war. Before that, it was women and Arab Spring and before that it revolved around the environment. And, as more and more films are being made focusing on women’s issues, it’s amazingly easy to come up with good films that fit the theme,” said festival founder Peggy Goldwyn. The film festival will take place at the Sun Valley Opera House Friday through Monday with dramatic and documentary film screenings from around the globe. The Community Library will host free lectures tying into the film themes. Often when you think of women and education you think about how women in countries like Afghanistan are denied an education. But the films have found different ways to look at education, Goldwyn said. “Solar Mama” looks at illiterate women in the slums of Brazil who feel powerless but get the gumption to organize and do something for themselves as they discover street smarts they never knew they had, she said. Even a film about Anita Hill, who testified about sexual harassment in the workplace, proves educational.

Hana Makhmalbaf

“She surely got an education about reality and the country got an education about sexual harassment in the workplace,” said Goldwyn. The film festival has made a difference with local women. A group of local women gave a skeet-shooting party and luncheon at Mari McStay’s, calling it “Take a Shot at Ending Fistula” after seeing the movie “A Walk to Beautiful.” They plan to organize another luncheon to combat fistula this year. Here’s a look at what’s on tap for this year’s film fest, which coincides with International Women’s Day on Saturday. All films are at the Sun Valley Opera House: Thursday 6 p.m. Megan Carnahan Fallone, head of Global Strategy for Barefoot College, will speak at the inaugural Bonni Curran Memorial Lecture for the Health and Dignity of Women at The Community Library. The lecture is free. Based in India, the college is a non-profit organization that teaches Indian women about solar electrification, water purification and livelihood development. It is featured in the movie “Rafea: Solar Mama,” which screens at 7 p.m. Sunday. Friday 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m. Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, one of the festival sponsors, will hold a cocktail reception with filmmakers and speakers for the public at The Cornerstone Bar & Grill in Ketchum. 7 p.m. “Bay of All Saints,” a feature documentary following the stories of three single mothers in Brazil who find their voices as leaders in their slum community, will open up the festival. Filmmaker Annie Eastman will make some remarks. And Barbara Morgan, who flew as a teacher in space in 2007, will make the opening remarks for the entire festival. Morgan taught remedial reading and math on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana and in Quito, Ecuador, before becoming a teacher in McCall. Selected as backup to Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe, she is currently distinguished educator in residence at Boise State University.

Saturday 11 a.m. Jeremy Teicher, who directed “Tall as the Baobab Tree,” will present his student short film, “This is Us,” about his students in Senegal at 11 a.m. The screening of the film, which inspired his feature drama, “Tall as the Baobab Tree,” is free and all students who attend with ID will receive a free ticket to the 3 p.m. showing of “Tall as the Baobab Tree.” 3 p.m. “Tall as the Baobab Tree” shows the plight of a family that can only afford to send one child to school. They send the daughter so the boy can stay home and mind the cows. A study guide was made to accompany the film. 7 p.m. Academy Award winning filmmaker Frieda Lee Mock, who has a home in Sun Valley, will screen her movie “Anita” prior to its national opening. The film recounts how Anita Hill, a bookish law professor from Oklahoma, sat before a Senate committee of 14 white men and described repeated acts of sexual harassment she endured while working with U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Sunday 3 p.m. At 18, Iranian filmmaker Hana Makmalbaf filmed “Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame,” a haunting feature-length allegory filmed in the rubble where once-monumental statues stood in Afghanistan. The film focuses on a 5-yearold girl who wants to go to school but is denied by the Taliban— their terrible violence and the obstacles women face portrayed through children’s games. The film won many prestigious awards at the Berlin Film Festival and Rome Film Festival and other festivals. 7 p.m. “Rafea: Solar Mama” recounts how illiterate grandmothers from around the world are trained to be solar engineers in India. Megan Carnahan Fallone, a representative from the college, will make a few remarks.

TINDLE, FROM PAGE 1 Tindle’s own experience with flying led her to teach ground school. She has organized Woman Wise Airmanship Adventures at Smiley Creek, coaching up to 23 female pilots from 10 different states at a time. She’s worked with them on personalized life flight plans and tried to dispel the stereotypes about what women can and can’t do. “It’s a little harder for the women who have children because they’re usually primary caretakers. So they have to figure out how to balance that priority with aviation,” said Tindle, who has written for Aviation magazine. “But women are not as big risk takers as men, which keeps them safer. They also have different learning styles—they methodically take in a lot of details.” One of the women pilots Tindle worked with was a Colorado woman who flew more than her husband liked in order to stay proficient in her acrobatic spins and flips. With Tindle’s help, she was able to convey how important flying was to her—that it was more than a hobby—and the husband ended

up becoming a pilot so he could share the joy his wife felt while flying. A young mother was scared by turbulence so Tindle assigned her homework to learn what turbulence is. “She learned how safe it is, what she could do and couldn’t do given her level of experience and how to push the edges of safety so she didn’t get so freaked out,” Tindle said. “She’s smart—she doesn’t go out in super-strong winds. But if a wind comes across, she’s okay. She tells her kids it’s like a roller coaster ride.” Tindle moved to Sun Valley a little more than two years ago. Here she has branched out to concentrate not just on athletes concerned about performance but people from other walks of life. She helps musicians and artists to ignite their passion, identify the purpose in their art, achieve greater creativity and find outof-the-box marketing tools. “I teach that your beliefs are road maps to take you where you want to go,” she said. “You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” tws

BRIEFS

Tindle’s Thrive 101

Christina Tindle presented a Thrive 101 workshop at last year’s Sun Valley Wellness Festival. Here are a couple maxims from that seminar: One of the paradoxes in life: Sometimes you have to fall back to go forward. -It’s evil when people don’t do anything on the behalf of others, as was the case in the Holocaust. When you don’t do anything for yourself, that’s stagnation. -The adventure begins the moment you become open to the process of losing your job or whatever. Framing it as “a tragedy” drains you. -To thrive, we sometimes need to change the story. We need to reboot ourselves, reprogram ourselves. -It takes 10,000 hours on average to become an expert at something. One year contains 8,760 hours—8,784 if it’s a Leap Year. -Being able to unconditionally love yourself frees up a lot of energy. -When you label something as an addiction, you can’t get out of it. Reframe it, as in, “I choose to have a healthy relationship with food.” -Emotional quotient is a better indicator for success than the IQ. -We cannot become what we want to be by remaining who we are. -We must formally choose to thrive, going from being survivors to strivers to thrivers. -Ninety percent of people stay in their comfort zone. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone— that’s where the magic happens. Determine your goal. Determine the price you will pay to achieve it. And get busy paying that price. Want more? Christina Tindle suggests you check out Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief,” Tom Rath’s “StrengthsFinder” or Martin Seligman’s “Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life.”

Sun Valley Freeride Team

“The Sun Valley Wood River Freeride Team held its Freeride Fun-Race on Sunday, March 2 under lightly falling snow. The Freeriders, who are exposed to “stubby” practice gates throughout the year, were able to test their mettle in a timed course set and run by Sun Valley’s Snowsports School Race Department. Conditions were excellent, and fun was had by all! Later, the Freeriders and their green clad coaches were seen all over the hill in all conditions using what they learned in the course out in all the terrain Baldy has to offer, demonstrating the Freeride motto of “Any turn, Any Time!” -Steve Thompson

Project Green Cup Community School’s Green Team has launched a social media campaign called “Project Green Cup” to incentivize the use of reusable mugs at local coffee shops and reduce the number of disposable cups thrown out every day. Here’s how it works: Valley residents can bring a reusable mug to any local coffee shop handing out bright green stickers marked “#greencupsv.” The resident would then put the sticker on the mug, order his or her favorite coffee drink, then snap a picture of the cup in use and post it to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #greencupsv. The Green Team will choose three winners: a Green Team favorite, one at random and one with the most “likes.” Winners will each receive a gift card to participating coffee shops. Stickers promoting Project Green Cup will be available at Java, Starbucks, Iconoclast, The Coffee Grinder and Velocio in Ketchum. The contest starts March 10 and runs through May 30. Photos must include the sticker and the hashtag #greencupsv in the Facebook, Instagram or Twitter post to qualify. Participants may submit more than one entry, but can only win once.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

he Olympic torch no doubt generated plenty of enthusiasm as it passed 65,000 kilometers through 2,900 Russian towns and villages, making it the longest relay in Winter Olympics history.

Dan Urizar, a member of the Ada County Sheriff’s Department, started the Torch Relay from the Wood River YMCA.

But schoolchildren all up and down the Wood River Valley tried their best to match that enthusiasm Friday as they cheered on the Special Olympics Torch Relay that ran past each school. Members of the Ada County Sheriff’s Department ran with the torch behind a convoy of local police cars. A Higher Ground bus followed behind, full of Special Olympians from the Wood River Valley who got out and highfived the hands of schoolchildren cheering them from the sidewalk. “Everyone has come out to

wave at us!” said Special Olympics athlete Grant Swindle. “It’s been totally amazing,” said Jamie Ellison, coordinator of the Blaine County School District’s new vocation transition program for 18- to 21-year-olds. “One of the kids’ dads works at Woodside and they had signs saying, ‘Go, Thomas’ and ‘Thomas, you’re our gold medalist,’ ” he added. “The kids who don’t smile smiled today. And the kids who do smile were on Cloud 9.” More than 400 Special Olympians from all over Idaho came to the Wood River Valley over the weekend to participate in the State Winter Games. The event included opening ceremonies at the Wood River High School gym; competitions involving floor hockey, alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing; a victory dance; and closing ceremonies. The Special Olympians also had the opportunity to have their vision and hearing checked as part of the event. tws

f there was one good thing about coming off the pass, it was that we could wash for the first time in three days. Us westerners have our toiletry habits, which are definitely not shared by the Third World. Tibetans seldom wash, which is probably true for high altitude/ northern latitude cultures as a whole. I’ll stop here, because travel hygiene is a huge, and often hilarious, subject. We, the ‘great unwashed’, left a pristine realm behind us and we were about to re-enter the populated world. The downhill walk to the village of Thami took just a few hours. We began to see stone fence, enclosed fields, and all-stone houses back-dropped by a line of 20,000 foot peaks rising from the other side of the river. The pass had whipped us into shape. We walked with strength and pride. There was a spring in our step. All we had to say was that we had crossed Tesi Lapscha and we got immediate respect from the locals. We had been on the trail for 16 days, and there were still 10, albeit easy ones, to go. The village of Thami, the largest one we had seen so far, sat on level ground at the junction of two drainages. It had a hillside monastery, handcrafted miniature bridges crossing rivers and rivulets, often occupied by herds of sheep. There was also a hippie group and five anthropologists. As soon as we arrived in camp, locals set up shop a short distance. Every used household item they no longer needed was on display. The sherpas reminded us that whatever we bought, we had to carry. That slowed the acquisitive urge. It was a cold, damp, overcast day and we disappeared into our tents. Somewhere near camp I heard live music, a fiddler on the roof of the world. It was a string instrument with a typical Eastern tuning, and the songs were highly syncopated. The guy was really good. As a restaurateur, I became the impresario. I talked to Ang Lagpa and asked if he could get the guy back for an after dinner concert. We deserved to celebrate, and the sherpas loved to party, and it helped the local economy. He thought it was a great idea and went to arrange it. At dinner, I announced that we had a little dance entertainment scheduled. We gathered in a large circle, intermixed with the sherpas and sherpanis. The fiddler started to play, and the two local women he brought began to show us the dances. The sherpanis all wanted to dance with us, and we had a great time drinking chang and rum. After about an hour, we started to fade. I asked for contributions so we could pay the guy, and out came wads of money. I knew it was way too much, and culturally disruptive. It also undervalued the services of our tireless sherpas. I went to Ang Lagpa and asked how much he needed. It was a pittance, maybe five dollars. I returned at least sixty dollars to the table. Tourist dollars can corrupt a culture and skew its values. tws

Comforting Young Patients Community School’s 3rd Grade partners with St. Lukes

n an active community, like the Wood River Valley, most of us have had our fair share of hospital visits. In 2000, St. Luke’s Wood River Medical Center opened its doors to serve the health care needs of the people living in Blaine County. Working closely with the local community, the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation was created to empower a healthy community through generosity. Partnering with wow-students since 2012, the students of Blaine County have become active contributors by showcasing handmade art, decorating the children’s waiting room “Carter’s Corner” and enhancing and personalizing the experiences of hospital patients.

Meet the Valley: Brad Mitchell

During the 2012-2013 school year, the Community School 3rd grade, led by teacher Kathy Gibson, focused on enhancing the hospital’s art program and comforting young patients. The 3rd graders volunteered their time, talent and treasure, and donated funds for an art box display to showcase student artwork. They also acted as young art curators; coordinating exhibitions of student art, complimenting the array of contemporary art generously donated to the medical center or on long-term loan from local art collectors. Additionally, they partnered with wow-students in the “Comforting Young Patients” initiative. This initiative strives to ease the ER experience by allowing its young patients to

choose from books and stuffed animals to have during their visit. In the 2013-2014 school year, the Community School is back at it, and gathering age-appropriate toys, books and cozy comforts to enhance the experience for the hospitals youngest patients.The intended outcome of these projects is to enhancement the patient experience, provide a better understanding of the hospital for students, and create community engagement in generosity. Wow-students and St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation are also working on a project to

update the children’s waiting room dubbed “Carter’s Corner”. Carter’s Corner is a very special waiting area where pediatric patients and young visitors can play and relax in a dedicated space, designed for them. Carter’s Corner has toys, video games, a television and DVD’s for children to enjoy. However, it has been a number of years since Carter’s Corner has been updated and the toys and furniture are outdated and worn. For more information on how you can contribute to this project, please email Louise Stumph: lstumph@ wow-students.org.

story of generosity in your life: I have been given the opportunity to share my passion for health and wellness and endurance athletic events with the novice health seeker up to the level of the experienced athlete. Being part of an individual realizing their potential and have moments of personal break-throughs makes everyday a motivating day; which drives me to return and continue to give more to those who are in need or with a desire to better their lives or activities of choice.

financial planning BY ELLEN SWENSON

ith spring comes the thought of new construction. Now is a good time to be considering how to finance building a new home. When deciding on a mortgage lender to help you with financing for the construction of your new home, select a company that is an experienced new construction lender. U.S. Bank offers several construction and construction to permanent mortgage products with flexible loan terms. U.S. Bank offers vacant lot loans for borrowers intending to build in the near future. If you are planning to purchase a residential property, you can close on the purchase of the lot at the same time as the close of the construction loan. One closing, one set of costs. If you currently own the residential property where you wish to build your new home, you must be on the title to the property. When you obtain your construction loan, U.S. Bank Home Mortgage will use the construction loan funds to pay off an existing loan if there is a balance owing. Select a reputable and qualified builder. U.S. Bank requires that the builder meet specific requirements to be an approved builder to construct homes on behalf of U.S. Bank borrowers. If the builder has not been previously approved by U.S. Bank, your Mortgage Loan Originator will work with the builder to complete the checklist of items that are required to become a U.S. Bank-approved builder. Once all of the information is submitted, the approval process typically takes seven to 10 business days. The builder approval

is good for up to two years. In addition to the standard mortgage application and builder approval, the builder plans and specifications for the fixed-price construction contract must be submitted for approval. A construction to permanent loan is a single, one-time close, which means you obtain construction financing and a permanent residential mortgage at the same time. You pay closing fees just once. U.S. Bank Home Mortgage offers flexible and carrying terms for the construction phase of the loan. The portion of the loan (known as “draws”) of the total loan amount for the construction of the home is released to the builder as the project progresses during the construction phase. The builder will request “a draw” and U.S. Bank Home Mortgage obtains a progress inspection to determine that the builder has completed those aspects of the construction. Funds are then released to the builder to continue construction. We understand that, at times, unforeseen expenses can arise during the course of construction that were not included in the original specifications and contract. Contingency reserve funds are available for eligible borrowers to cover these expenses. A contingency reserve up to 10 percent of the cost to build may be included in the construction escrows. These funds may be used specifically to cover expenses relating to change orders and cost overruns. Upon completion of construction, any funds that remain must be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage. During the construction of the home, the borrower will make

monthly interest-only payments to U.S. Bank Home Mortgage (plus tax and insurance escrows, if applicable), based upon the amount of money drawn against the original loan amount. Upon completion of the construction, the outstanding mortgage balance seamlessly becomes a fully amortizing loan, which means the borrower will make monthly principal and interest payments, taxes and insurance payments for the remainder of the loan term. This information is meant as an overview and not all-inclusive of all of the qualifications and requirements as they pertain to the construction of a home and the financing process. There are many components to a successful project. Communication and coordination are a very important part of a successful project, as well as choosing a lender you can trust. Please feel free to come and speak with me regarding more construction specifics at U.S. Bank in Hailey. My direct phone number is 208.578.3848. Ellen Swenson NMLS #859539

Loan approval is subject to credit approval and program guidelines. Not all loan programs are available in all states for all loan amounts. Interest rates and program terms are subject to change without notice. Visit usbank.com to learn more about U.S. Bank products and services.

Yes, Virginia, You Can Buy Happiness

The Washington Post has called Elizabeth Dunn’s book one of the top 20 books business leaders should read.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KAREN BOSSICK

hink money can’t buy happiness? Then you’re not spending it right. And it doesn’t matter how much you have to spend—richer people are happier than poor people, but not by all that much. So says Elizabeth Dunn, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia and co-author of “Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending.” The Washington Post called her book one of the top 20 books business leaders should read. Dunn, who has appeared on The Tonight Show and BBC, spoke last week at the Community School on behalf of the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation. The Foundation educates women to become philanthropic leaders to create positive change in their community. Members have given $1 million to local non-profits over the past eight years. Dunn said there are three principles to happy money: Buy experiences. Make it a treat. Invest in others. It was Mark Twain who said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do.” And that still holds true more than a century later, Dunn said. Experiences bring us together with others. Material things are treasured in isolation, she said. Studies show that people get more satisfaction out of purchasing things that focus on experience rather than material things like a bigger house. Unless, of course, that house is all about experiences, such as watching your children splash in the backyard pool. BMW commuters, similarly, don’t enjoy the morning commute any more than do Subaru owners. But they may get more pleasure in joy rides. Buying experiences, such as exotic vacations, can also help spice up marriages, since boredom is a caustic force in relationships. Another way of getting happiness out of money is by using it as a treat. People who gave someone a Starbucks gift card got happiness from giving the card to another. But they got even greater happiness when

MARCH 5, 2014

they took that person out for coffee with the card, sharing conversation with their friend. Finally, invest in others. A bank that gave each of its employees $100 to donate to a cause of their choice found employees did everything from purchasing a swinging wheelchair for a little girl to donating to an organization that researches mood disorders. And getting the opportunity to give increased job satisfaction. Those who do give away such a gift experience positive emotions whereas those who keep it for themselves experience shame and elevated cortisol levels, Dunn said. Elevated levels of cortisol, or the stress hormone, can contribute to a heart attack. Concrete knowledge of what you’re giving to makes a difference, Dunn added. Teens found it difficult to envision what their money was going to when they weighed whether to give it to UNICEF, since the organization’s name meant nothing to them. But they had no problem giving their money to Spread the Net because they knew it would be used to combat malaria. “If you hear someone say money can’t buy happiness, tell them to try giving some of it away,” Dunn said. tws Want to know more about the Wood River Women’s Charitable Foundation?

Elizabeth Dunn says that people whose watches are slow are content to lie on the beach. Those whose watches run fast prefer more adventurous experiences, wanting to make the most of every moment.
